Chapter 3231 3243 [The End of the Journey in Curacao]
"That's right." Jiang Xia looked at the long-haired dog outside the window, "Before coming to Lawyer Tachibana's house, John was actually the pet of Mr. Tsuruta who hanged himself five years ago."
"The name 'Johann' should have been given to it by Tsuruta's younger brother who went to study in Germany. As for why it was picked up by Mrs. Yaeko as a stray dog and brought to Lawyer Tachibana's house..."
He looked at the silent old maid and said, "You'll have to ask Mrs. Tsuruta Tamiko about the process."
"Tsuruta Tamiko?" The two policemen were stunned for a moment, then slowly came back to their senses. They were shocked and asked, "You mean, this maid... is actually the mother of the person who died five years ago?!"
Jiang Xia nodded: "John was not actually a stray dog. After Mrs. Tsuruta changed her name and came to Lawyer Tachibana's house, she quickly pretended to have picked him up and took him in."
"In John's mind, Mrs. Tsuruta should be its real owner. So yesterday, when Mrs. Tsuruta passed by us wearing a red baseball cap and disguised as Kumada, John kept running after the fishing boat - because he found out that the person on the boat was its owner."
Hearing this, Mrs. Tsuruta looked at the long-haired dog outside the window and sighed helplessly: "Five years ago, my eldest son Masahiko was killed by Kumada, and last year, my youngest son Katsuhiko also passed away... For me, John is now my only relative. Because of his company, I can stay here to work."
"It's really ironic. Five years ago, in court, I tried my best to fight with Lawyer Tachibana to get Kumada to plead guilty... But a few years later, when I came to Lawyer Tachibana to apply for a job, he had completely forgotten me."
"Maybe in his eyes, Katsuhiko and I are just ordinary dust that can be blown away at will without leaving any impression at all."
Mrs. Tsuruta smiled bitterly: "When Tsuruta was acquitted, I totally disagreed with the result and wanted to continue investigating. But not long after, Kumada disappeared... I never gave up the search, and finally, half a year ago, Kumada suddenly appeared in front of me.
"He went into the study with Lawyer Tachibana. Perhaps they felt that the house was safe, so they did not lower their voices, but discussed my son's case casually. It was at that time that I heard from Kumada how he killed my son."
"I also heard their original agreement. When they were in the detention center, Kumada said that as long as he could be acquitted, Lawyer Tachibana would offer any price.
"That is to say, Lawyer Tachibana knew very well that Kumada was the murderer, but for the sake of money and fame, he let the real murderer escape the punishment of the law!"
“To be honest, when I first came to Lawyer Ju’s house, I was still very confused. I spent every day in a daze and had no idea what I should do. I just instinctively wanted to get closer to the truth.
"Until that day, after I heard the conversation between those two people, I suddenly woke up and knew my next mission.
"——I want to kill them, the two murderers who caused my son's unjust death. So that day, after Xiongtian left, I used the excuse of going out shopping and followed him quietly, and found out his current residence."
When the male secretary heard this, he suddenly remembered something: "Those three threatening letters signed by 'T.K', were they also written by you in the name of Xiongtian?"
The old maid nodded and slowly hugged herself. "Before I killed them, I wasn't afraid at all. I was even very excited... But I don't know why, now that they are really dead, I feel very anxious and can't feel at peace for a moment. Until now, I have admitted what I did and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Curacao: "..." What a pitiful person. What else could it be? Of course, in some people's scripts, your mission has been completely completed...
"Come to think of it, he didn't even let go of an old mother who had lost her sons one after another. This guy Wuzo is really a natural evil seedling for the organization." Curacao sighed in his heart, "Her second son died a year ago for unknown reasons. I think he also suffered from Wuzo's murderous hands."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but slightly turn her head. Looking at Jiang Xia's kind and harmless appearance, and then looking at the unscrupulous things he did, an indescribable sense of dislocation made her heart rate slightly faster again.
Jiang Xia's nose suddenly felt itchy and he felt like sneezing. He looked at Curacao, who suddenly looked away, and suspected that someone was slandering him in his heart, but unfortunately he had no evidence.
The others nearby naturally would not wrongly accuse an innocent high school student like the members of the organization did. Except for Haibara Ai and Conan, who glanced at Curacao suspiciously after hearing the old maid's confession, everyone's attention was obviously focused on the poor old mother.
Mrs. Orange looked at her with sympathy, walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder: "You are so brave. You did what I always wanted to do but couldn't make up my mind to do. Don't worry, I will take care of John for you and write a letter of understanding for you."
The two police officers were moved by this scene at first, but then they felt something was wrong: "…" Hey! The police are still here, what are you talking about! Could it be that you were planning to kill your husband before?
The female accountant pushed her glasses and sighed: "There's nothing I can do. I'll just hire a lawyer for you. I have pretty good connections in this area."
The male secretary who was facing unemployment scratched his head, and couldn't think of anything he could do. But he felt that he should say something in this atmosphere, so he finally said, "I can help you walk the dog."
"Still want to walk the dog?" Officer Inoki finally found an opportunity and grabbed the unlucky guy. "You must have done a lot of illegal things for Lawyer Tachibana. Come back to the police station with us first. We will investigate thoroughly first!"
…
A serial murder case ended in such a chaotic and harmonious way.
Considering that Chiba Prefecture is not far from Tokyo and there are quite a few cases happening here, Jiang Xia did not refuse the police's invitation and went to the local police station to take a statement.
When we finished and came out, the parking lot was empty - Curacao had already slipped away without stopping.
As Tokyo was just around the corner, it seemed that this wonderful trip had to end. Jiang Xia sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
However, after counting the gains of this trip, his mood soon returned to a good state - it was not a big problem. Although Curacao had escaped temporarily, when he returned to Tokyo, wouldn't there be less murderous intent of various flavors?
