Chapter 3230 3242 [Case Closed] Request for monthly ticket ()
The young police officer had obviously checked with his colleagues. When Jiang Xia asked, he reported in a prepared manner: "It contains some evidence of embezzlement of public funds fabricated by Mr. Tachibana and Mr. Sakuraba. The person they targeted is 'Noriko Sugiyama'."
Female accountant: “?!”
...Isn’t this me!
Jiang Xia looked at the shocked accountant, then at the male secretary: "You and Lawyer Ju are planning to use this evidence to control this accountant, right?"
The female accountant slammed the table and glared at Secretary Sakuraba: "You two actually conspired to do something like this?!"
"I'm sorry!" The male secretary apologized quickly. He explained apologetically: "As you know, Lawyer Ju is used to a life of extravagance, but recently his income has not kept up, so he privately embezzled a lot of public funds."
"That night, I helped Lawyer Ju to calculate the accounts. Lawyer Ju stared at the account book for a while with a sullen face, and then decided to push the money he wasted onto you, saying that you had misappropriated the money."
The female accountant clenched her fists and said, "That old bastard..."
Secretary Sakuraba sighed, "To be honest, I really don't want to do this again. When I heard the news that Mr. Tachibana had drowned, my first reaction was actually relief."
The middle-parted male lawyer was stunned: "What do you mean by relieved! Mr. Ju has some moral issues, but he is your teacher and guide. How can you talk about your senior like that!"
"What senior? I've had enough of him!" When the male secretary heard his words, he suddenly became like a lit firecracker and said angrily:
"When I first joined the law firm, no one told me that I would be an accomplice to a tyrant! Every day he ordered me to do trivial things, and my life was worse than that of a servant!
"As long as I showed the slightest resistance to his dark deeds, he would threaten me, saying that he could make me lose my future as a lawyer with just a flick of his finger... I really couldn't stand it anymore!"
Several suspects looked at him with some shock and some understanding.
After a moment, Mrs. Ju sighed, "You have worked really hard these years. You put in so much effort, but he tortured you like that. No wonder you wanted to kill him."
The female accountant nodded in agreement. "Although I also want to make that old man disappear, I really can't act as quickly as you do. You are great. I will visit you in prison if I have the chance in the future."
The lawyer with a middle-parted hair shook his head helplessly: "No matter what, killing is too much..."
Curacao looked left and right: "..." Should I say something to appear sociable?
However, before she could speak, the two police officers said to the male secretary, "Okay, okay, we know your grievances. Let's talk about the rest when we get to the police station."
"……ah?"
Secretary Sakuraba immersed himself in his anger for a while, then realized that something was wrong.
He came to his senses a little late and quickly argued loudly: "No!... I didn't kill anyone! I do hate him, but I really didn't do anything to him!"
"Haha, it's no use regretting now. Be honest and we'll consider it as your surrender." Two police officers surrounded him aggressively, "Don't even think about resisting arrest, and don't even think about running away - this villa has been surrounded by us!"
"But I really wasn't the one who killed the person!" Secretary Sakuraba never expected things to turn out like this, "I'm innocent!"
There was chaos in the hall.
Suzuki Sonoko watched this scene and couldn't help but whisper to Jiang Xia: "Why is he different from the previous prisoners? His resistance is too fierce - at this point, others would have knelt down and cried and begged for forgiveness, but he is still holding on... It seems that he really doesn't want to go to jail."
Jiang Xia: "Yes, after all, he did not kill anyone."
Two high school girls: “!”
Two police officers who were about to rush forward with their men to pile up: "!"
"That's right." At the same time, a person who had always been taciturn quietly stood out from the corner.
The old maid lowered her head and whispered, "It was actually me who killed those two people."
“?!!”
The two policemen were stunned.
The suspects in the room were also stunned.
After a while, a group of people looked at this peaceful old woman in shock: "You?... How could it be you? You have no grudge against him!"
Officer Horseface was more experienced after all. After a moment of surprise, he thought about it and suddenly realized that this situation seemed quite reasonable: "This Mrs. Yaeko seems to be the person responsible for preparing lunch boxes for the deceased. It would be easy for her to add sleeping pills to Lawyer Tachibana's coffee."
Jiang Xia nodded: "After Mr. Tachibana went out to fish and we went out to walk the dog, Mrs. Yaeko changed into men's clothes, put on the red baseball cap she had prepared in advance, and left the villa through the back door."
"Then she set up her prepared fishing boat, passed us, and went to the place where Lawyer Ju usually fished."
"After taking care of the sleeping lawyer Tachibana and putting down the anchor, Mrs. Yaeko quickly returned to the villa. During this time, she cleaned the table and prepared dessert for us.
"While we were eating dessert outside and admiring the sea scenery, we happened to see Attorney Tachibana's fishing boat sinking - this way, Mrs. Yaeko got her alibi for the first case."
"After that, Mrs. Yaeko left the villa on the pretext of going shopping and drove to the supermarket."
"After parking your car, you did not go in to shop, but hurriedly took the train to Tatsuya Kumada's apartment and committed the second murder."
The old maid nodded, with a look of relief on her face.
Jiang Xia took a wooden sign from the young police officer and said, "This afternoon, we went to the old house of Mr. Tsuruta, who died unjustly five years ago. There is a dog kennel in his yard, and there is a wooden sign like this next to the kennel. It should be the name of the dog they raised."
The two police officers didn't expect that the famous detective had quietly found another clue. They quickly leaned in to take a look: "Johann? What a strange name."
Jiang Xia: "Because this is not English, but German. If you read it in German, the dog that the Tsuruta family raised was named 'John'."
"!!" The two female high school students looked at each other and looked towards the window at the same time - outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a long-haired dog was leaning against the glass, looking at the people in the room with great curiosity.
If I remember correctly, when I first came here, Lawyer Tachibana seemed to have introduced this dog as a stray dog picked up by Mrs. Yaeko, and its name was... John!
