Chapter 2856-2868 [Massive Killing]
After being distracted for a moment, the dedicated Inspector Otaki quickly turned his attention back to the case at hand.
After listening to Jiang Xia's account of what happened, he looked at the many people present and said, "In other words, when the gunshots were heard on the other side of the river, everyone was here?"
A group of people nodded in unison.
"I see." While recording, Inspector Otaki secretly breathed a sigh of relief: In this way, the people in front of him could be cleared of suspicion.
He looked across the river and pointed to half of his men: "You guys, follow me to the crime scene on the other side."
…
"All the newlyweds are dead?"
Looking at the bride's body lying quietly in the villa, Hattori Heiji sighed: "And they didn't die together, they died separately, one in the east and one in the west... This is too tragic."
Inspector Otaki: “…” What you mean, wouldn’t it be tragic if we died together?
The young man's thoughts were always jumping and difficult to figure out. He shook his head and sighed: "This room is a bit small, and it's hard to squeeze in. You guys go outside first."
Having seen everything that needed to be seen in the room, the three detectives did not stay any longer and came outside the villa.
Hattori Heiji glanced at Jiang Xia, and was hesitating whether to tell him about the sniper attack. At this moment, Jiang Xia's sight suddenly moved and fell on a certain place.
"?" Hattori Heiji followed his gaze and suddenly found a faint reflection in the flower bed.
"Huh?" He walked closer in confusion, saw what was in the flower bed, and exclaimed in surprise, "Gun? Uncle Otaki, come here quickly, there is a gun here!"
Jiang Xia, who was about to reach out his hand, stopped silently: "..."
"Why does this gun look a little strange?" Hattori Heiji seemed not to notice the gaze of Youyou next to him. He lowered his head to take a look, put on his gloves and poked the handle of the gun. "What is hanging on it, bamboo thread?"
"Don't move! Let the forensic officers come!" Inspector Otaki heard Hattori Heiji's voice and rushed over. He held down the high school detective who was making a move and whispered, "Before I brought you out this time, didn't I already agree that you should learn from Jiang Xia and not touch the evidence at the scene?"
Hattori Heiji: “…?” Learn from Jiang Xia? Are you sure? Why do I feel like he wants to touch this gun too?
However, feelings are just feelings after all and cannot be used as evidence.
Considering that the inspector next to him was one of the few who dared to bring him on a mission, Hattori Heiji could only nod his head frustratedly: "Next time, definitely next time."
…
As detectives observed the scene.
Wedding venue.
After screening by the police, most of the irrelevant guests had left.
The only people left at the wedding venue at this time were the family members who were close to the two deceased, as well as the guests Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.
The groom's uncle looked around and lowered his voice to talk to his relatives: "Although it's not appropriate to talk about this now, after Xiaoyou's death, what should we do with his shares? And if this matter gets out, the members will definitely panic, and who knows what the media will write - we must find a way to stabilize the situation before the case gets out."
The groom's sister sighed and said, "What else can we do? Xiaoyou has no children, and his wife has passed away. The inheritance can only be divided between me and my mother."
Her husband suddenly said, "That may not be the case."
"?" The groom's sister turned to look at him, "What do you mean?"
The husband pushed up his glasses, and a cold light flashed across the lenses: "If Xiaoyou was killed first, then his inheritance would go to Miss Ito, and then Miss Ito would die... In other words, it might not be us who should think about the inheritance issue now, but the bride's brother."
"?!" The groom's sister was stunned, unable to believe it. "This is too ridiculous! The property passed down by my father is just given to an outsider? I won't accept it!"
Her husband patted her on the back and said, "Whether you accept it or not, this is the law."
The groom’s sister: “But…!”
As he was speaking, the door of the banquet hall creaked open and Inspector Otaki and several detectives walked in.
The tall bald police inspector looked around and said to the people who stayed here, "We have carefully checked the whereabouts of all the guests. Those guests who had alibis have now gone home."
The groom's brother-in-law frowned: "What do you mean, do you suspect that we killed him?"
"Of course not." Inspector Otaki waved his hands repeatedly. Although he did think so in his heart, he couldn't say it directly. He said tactfully, "It's just that you are all direct relatives of the two deceased. With you here, it will be more convenient for us to investigate the case."
The groom's uncle certainly understood his implication: "Since you mentioned the alibi just now - when Miss Ito died, our group was beside Xiaoyou's body. It's impossible for us to go across the river with guns to kill her. At least she was not killed by us."
His daughter quickly continued his words: "As for Xiaoyou, how could we kill him! He is our relative."
…
While Inspector Otaki was busy looking for the murderer.
In some dark little program.
Another group of people who were also paying attention to this case were not focusing here.
[Two people died, both the bride and groom died!] Chianti typed, [So no one wins this time! Vodka, give me back your useless little black coin, and give me two extra coins.]
Vodka: "..." It's useless, you still want it? No!
"If Brother Gin didn't bet on the groom or the bride, I might consider it, but now..."
Vodka poked his finger, counting both the groom and the bride as correct answers, and declared the game over.
Chianti: [***, ****! ]
Curacao, who was observing the situation secretly: "..."
She sighed regretfully.
Vodka had been a civil servant for many years and knew how to divert the attention of angry people. Before Chianti filled the screen, he tapped and opened another plate - who was the murderer.
As expected, no one discussed what happened just now anymore.
Chianti typed out the following words: [Why is Calvados in the selection? What do you mean, kid? — He is not crazy, it is impossible for him to have nothing better to do than to shoot a consortium owner. Besides, the murder weapon is a pistol, not a sniper rifle.]
Cohen suddenly said: [Calvados also has a lot of pistols on him.]
Chianti was silent for a moment: [Shut up! Which side are you on? If you continue to speak for him, get out of our sniper camp!]
Cohen was silent.
Vodka pushed up his sunglasses and snorted coldly: As a senior researcher who has studied the behavior of Uzo for many months, he deliberately gave this option. Of course, it was not aimless, but the result of careful consideration.
