Chapter 3375 3387 [FBI's Harmonious Workplace] Ask for monthly votes ()
Chika Shimoda wiped her tears and shook her head. "After going downstairs, I drove my boyfriend's car to send Nakamachi and Kawakami home first, and then came back to take pictures - they had been drinking and couldn't drive."
"Nakamachi and Kawakami?" Inspector Megure followed her direction, looked at the two office workers, and habitually asked, "What is your relationship with the deceased?"
The young man said nervously, "We are employees of the same company. Today is our day off. At noon, we went to Section Chief Gao Jing's house and held a small celebration party."
"A celebration party?" Hattori Heiji, recalling his chance encounter with the three men in the corridor, couldn't help but interject, "But the atmosphere when you left didn't feel like a celebration. It felt more like a critique session or something."
The young office worker looked at the body on the ground and sighed: "Section Chief Gao Jing has just been promoted to manager, and we have a good relationship with each other, so we came to help him celebrate.
"We had originally planned to drink until late at night, but Section Chief Takai couldn't hold his liquor well, and he was already completely drunk just after dark.
"After getting drunk, he started blaming me and Mr. Kawakami..."
Next to him, a middle-aged office worker burped and snorted, "That guy said something like, 'If you want to get ahead, you can't rely on favors. You have to do your best to look up.' He also said that people like us who lack courage will never be able to climb over him no matter how hard we try."
Judy was speechless when she heard this: If these words were said somewhere else, like New York, it might not matter. But in a place like this...
"Alas, poor corpse! Perhaps what he said wasn't entirely wrong, but he was destined to face this outcome." An FBI agent shook his head sympathetically, then habitually examined himself for a moment before feeling slightly relieved.
"Well, I have a very harmonious relationship with my boss and colleagues. Uh, although James has been looking at everyone strangely lately, as if there's a mole among us, and he even asked us to rent houses in different places from the gathering point... But this is just a necessary measure to prevent Uzo, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Next to him, Inspector Megure didn't have so many thoughts.
Listening to the middle-aged office worker's retelling and looking at his indignant expression, Inspector Megure seemed to understand something: "So you killed him?"
"What are you talking about!" The young office worker was startled.
"After the dinner ended in a bad mood, Ms. Shimoda sent Mr. Kawakami and me home. I was at home until Ms. Shimoda called me. How could I have come here to kill Section Chief Takai?
"Besides, I am indeed a little angry, but I'm not angry enough to kill someone. After all, the section chief was drunk and not very rational.
"I just sent a message to the section chief when Miss Shimoda was sending us home, hoping that he could put himself in the shoes of his subordinates and understand our feelings, so as to prevent tragedies like what happened to Ms. Hiraya from happening again."
Judy's heart suddenly tightened.
At the same time, she heard Jiang Xia ask, "Pingwu-senpai? Who is that?"
Judy: "..." Who else could it be? She bet a pack of James' coffee that the senior must have been scolded by Gao Jing, and then it led to serious consequences, such as jumping off a building to commit suicide...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the middle-aged office worker snort: "Who else could it be? It's Jundai Hiraya who committed suicide last month! - You police officers should have seen her when you were handling the body. She was a female employee in our company."
"Oh!" After he said this, Inspector Megure actually vaguely recalled an ordinary female corpse from the vast number of corpses.
She was a woman wearing a suit, ordinary glasses, and her hair was tied up in an ordinary way. She looked to be about 30 years old.
The scene of her death was as ordinary as she was: no passing detectives, no suspicious suspects, no strange physical evidence. Even the surveillance camera recorded her leaping from the window - unlike today, it was an undisputed suicide by jumping from a building.
The middle-aged office worker was clearly upset about the death. He pointed at the young office worker next to him and said, "Our colleague who committed suicide was a senior from Nakamachi Junior High School, two years older than him.
"Also, she was a junior schoolmate of mine and Takai's when we were in college. Takai and I joined the company first, and then the junior schoolmate came here. Then came Nakamachi—because Nakamachi was also called senior schoolmate at the company, and she always took good care of this junior schoolmate."
The young office worker nodded, his face filled with sadness as he thought of the senior who had passed away young.
The middle-aged office worker remembered something and looked at Chika Shimoda: "I remember you and Hiraya joined the company at the same time. It seems you have a good relationship?"
Shimoda Chika nodded, and her face also looked sad when she mentioned that poor colleague.
Judy looked at the woman who had passed the exam to move from the countryside to the city, and then looked at the young man, and sighed in her heart: "..." Naive guys, you are still not as experienced as the middle-aged people - your middle-aged colleague is not enthusiastically helping the police to explain the situation, he is implicitly explaining your motives.
Nearby, the police were somewhat aware of the middle-aged office worker's subtle thoughts, but they were eager to see this happen. They pressed on, "So that's it! ... Why did that Miss Pingya you mentioned commit suicide?"
"Because the workload on her shoulders is too heavy." The young office worker sighed with mixed feelings:
"She is Section Chief Takai's junior, and she has always admired him and always takes what he says seriously.
"And I remember what Section Chief Takai once said to her - he said, 'If you don't demonstrate extraordinary work ability, the only outcome will be unemployment.'
"Besides that, there were a lot of similar 'chicken soup' stories. Hiraya-senpai worked harder and harder, and the pressure kept piling up. In the end... Sigh."
The middle-aged office worker burped and angrily said, "After she jumped off the building, I found Gao Jing and told him not to put too much pressure on her. But that bastard Gao Jing had completely forgotten what he said!
"A month had passed, and we had almost forgotten about this matter. But who knew that at the dinner today, Gao Jing started talking about the same old things again, asking us to do this and that, saying that we were not working hard enough, which led to his poor performance...
"Considering that he was my boss after all, I endured it.
"But after I got home, the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I couldn't help but call him and scold him."
Thinking of the hearty scolding he had just done, he spit out a breath of alcohol, raised his head with a refreshed look, and repeated: "I said, 'The reason why Pingwu jumped off the building was all because of you. You climbed to your current position by stepping on the blood of all of us!
"I didn't expect him to jump off a building after being scolded by me! Haha - this guy scolds others every day, but I didn't expect him to become so fragile when he was scolded himself."
