Chapter 3220 3232 [Countless Crimes] Request for monthly ticket ()
"Don't get so close, it's scary..." Secretary Sakuraba took two steps back and said hurriedly, "Lawyer Tachibana asked me to go to the Tokyo office to handle some things. After the news of his death came this afternoon, the office was in turmoil, and I had to stay there to calm everyone down."
"Let's not talk about this for now." As a person who failed to pass the judicial examination, but at least studied to be a lawyer for a few years, Secretary Sakuraba did not let the other party take the initiative to speak. He took the initiative to ask:
"In the afternoon, I clearly heard that Mr. Ju died when his boat capsized while fishing... But what about the sleeping pills you just mentioned?"
Officer Inoki was really misled and answered subconsciously: "We suspect that someone put sleeping pills in the deceased's lunch box and murdered him."
Secretary Sakuraba: "How could this happen..."
Suzuki Sonoko touched her hungry stomach and wanted to eat. Perhaps due to this motivation, she suddenly had an idea and felt that she understood something:
"Maybe the guy in the red hat was an acquaintance of the deceased. He approached the deceased in a boat, chatted with him and shared snacks with him. He waited for the deceased to take the sleeping pills in the snacks and fall asleep, and then he sank him into the water. If that's the case, instead of asking the family, it's better to find the most suspicious red hat first."
When Inoki heard her mention the suspect, his head was spinning: "We have been looking for him, but there has been no result... Well, I hope there will be good news tomorrow."
Jiang Xia came over and looked at the male secretary: "I remember that during dinner yesterday, the accountant brought a letter to Lawyer Ju.
"After seeing the letter, Lawyer Ju's expression became a little strange - this is definitely not the first time you have received a similar letter. What exactly is written in it?"
Secretary Sakuraba came back to his senses and his expression became serious. He hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Originally, this matter should have been kept confidential, but now that things have come to this, I will tell the truth.
“In fact, Lawyer Ju has received several threatening letters recently, and the content of each letter is exactly the same.
"These letters are all typed, and they say..."
…
[If you don't want to be disgraced, prepare 3 million yen.
——T.K]
A few minutes later.
Looking at the letter that Secretary Sakuraba found in the study, Officer Inoki said with a click of his tongue: "This is a very standard threatening letter. When you received this kind of letter, why didn't you call the police?"
Curacao: "..." You said it as if you can find out who sent it after calling the police...
"Ah! There is a diary here, it should belong to the deceased." The horse-faced police officer found another important thing in the study. He flipped through a few pages and quickly found the content related to the threatening letter.
He muttered, "'He has committed so many crimes that he asked me to help him get away with them, but after he got away with them, he turned around and used this to threaten me. He is such a bad, stupid guy.' ... This must be referring to the person who sent the threatening letter."
Jiang Xia took the diary from him, flipped through it, and turned back to ask Secretary Sakuraba: "Do you have any idea about the Mr. 'T.K' in the signature?"
The male secretary looked away evasively: "This..."
Curacao looked speechlessly at this guy who had taken the bar exam for several years but had never passed: "..." No wonder he can't be a lawyer. What's the difference between what you said and directly saying that you know... But maybe this is the effect he wants to achieve?
A fake lawyer stroked his chin, trying to analyze the clues.
Sure enough, not only her, but others beside her also noticed the male secretary's strange attitude.
Officer Inoki slammed the table and said, "What do you know? This is about a life, so stop trying to hide it. Just tell me!"
Secretary Sakuraba: "But I really don't know."
"What's unclear about this?" Inoki said, "From the diary, it must be that T.K. who committed the crime, and Lawyer Tachibana defended him. With such obvious features and the initials, can't you find the person?"
Secretary Sakuraba sighed, "It's easy to say, but do you know how many guilty people Lawyer Tachibana has helped to escape punishment? I'm afraid it's impossible to list such a long list."
Officer Inoki: "...?"
Others: “…”
Although I had long known that this deceased old lawyer had a bad reputation, I never expected that his record in this area would be so outstanding.
Seeing that everyone was skeptical, Secretary Sakuraba continued, "At first, I only knew that there was this letter, but I had no idea what it contained. It was only later that one day, when I was helping Mr. Tachibana tidy up his desk, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the letter."
"When Lawyer Tachibana found out that I was reading the letter, he flew into a rage and told me to forget what I had read immediately. So I didn't even dare to ask any more questions, let alone learn more."
Officer Inoki muttered, "But aren't you his secretary? Shouldn't a secretary know everything?"
As he was speaking, there was a knock on the study door.
Mao Lilan poked her head in and said, "There's a guest coming downstairs. He says he's from the Tachibana Law Firm. Do you want to go down and meet him?"
"Let's go. We've almost finished looking through the study." Jiang Xia was not very interested in this ordinary study. He went downstairs and steadily advanced the progress of solving the case.
…
Gorgeous spacious living room.
The fireplace burned slowly.
A group of people sat together and the atmosphere was very solemn.
After a brief silence, a fat man with middle-parted hair looked at the police and spoke tentatively: "I heard that Mr. Tachibana's fishing boat capsized and he drowned, so I wanted to go to the police station to get Lawyer Tachibana's body back, but the police said it was not possible... Is there something suspicious about this case?"
The two police officers looked at him and thought that lawyers were difficult to fool.
But he still had to fool around. The horse-faced policeman cleared his throat and said vaguely, "There are indeed some details that need to be confirmed. By the way, do you know where the deceased's wife is now?"
The lawyer with the middle-parted hair nodded. He had obviously worked with Attorney Ju for many years and knew something about the lawyer's family situation. "Mrs. Ju is at her parents' home with her family. Just now, she asked me to come over and take Mr. Ju's body away. It's a pity that you won't let him go."
Jiang Xia looked at the empty space behind him and said, "Are you the only one handling these matters? Where is your accountant?"
The lawyer with middle-parted hair said helplessly, "Ms. Shancun has two days off on Saturdays and Sundays, and she doesn't like to answer work calls on her days off. It seems that she went out to play today. I called her, but I couldn't get through to her."
