Chapter 827 The Detective Who Loves Life
Nishimoto Makoto snorted coldly at her, and at the same time kicked the half of the pot on his head onto Shota Aoki.
He looked at Inspector Megure and said, "I didn't kill them. Not long after they left, I went to the guard room to return the key and went home. By the way, when I walked out of the building, I happened to see Shota walking back in a hurry. Who knows if he borrowed the key again and came back to kill Yukiko."
Aoki Shouta was stunned for a moment, and found that his suspicion had suddenly increased. He could only say what he originally wanted to hide: "I did wait for Yukiko in the parking lot. We had something to talk about, but she never..."
Before he could finish, Nishimoto Makoto suddenly slammed the table in anger: "I told you that you were two-timing, but you still refused to admit it - there are only two girls in the band, and having Risako is not enough, you are even trying to get your hands on Tokiko!"
Tanaka Risako slammed the table louder than he did and glared at Aoki Shouta: "You went to see her again?! I'm your girlfriend! Just now you said you were busy, but it turns out you were busy with her business?!"
Jiang Xia leaned against an inconspicuous wall, looking at Tanaka Risako for a while, then at Nishimoto Makoto, touching his chin, with a hint of hidden expectation in his eyes.
Beside him, Vermouth, who was secretly observing him, moved uncomfortably, muttering to herself: What is Uzo going to do now? The situation is already chaotic enough, and we don't know what will happen to Maori Kogoro. He won't start a third game again... But the police are still here, so it's not a big problem.
Moreover, Vermouth thought again - what if there really is a third game?
She is not Bourbon, she has no missions to rush, and no urgent matters to attend to. Even if Uzo plans to have a case carnival in this building for several consecutive days, she will not be anxious at all. She just needs to keep an eye on Cool Guy and Angel, and Maori Kogoro who has gone to who knows where... Maybe she should also take care of the excited Uzo, so that he will not play too much and be discovered by the police...
Hiss. Why am I getting a headache just thinking about it...
Vermouth raised her hand and pressed her forehead silently.
Then he silently withdrew his previous thoughts.
…
Around them, everyone else's attention was still focused on a few suspects, and they were completely unaware of Vermouth's worries.
It seemed that the three people in the band were about to fight.
As the team leader, Nakamura Yusuke hurriedly stood up to stop the quarrel: "Stop arguing, stop arguing. The most important thing now is Yukiko's matter - we have to find the murderer first."
Inspector Megure followed to try to stop the fight.
After finally persuading the three people to leave, he looked at Aoki Shouta, feeling that this person was the most suspicious: "However, according to what the guard said, after Mr. Nishimoto returned the key, you did come to borrow it again. You are the last person to borrow the key, right?"
Aoki Shouta straightened his collar that was pulled askew by Tanaka Risako and nodded:
"I made an appointment with Yukiko to meet in the parking lot, but she didn't show up, so I went to the lounge to look for her again. But I still didn't see her - I didn't look for her because of cheating. It's just that a while ago, Yukiko and I were invited by Thomas Records. They promised to help us make our official debut. This kind of thing is not easy to tell the team, so we have been hiding it..."
As they were talking, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the door - two police officers carried away Yukiko's body.
Jiang Xia turned his head and took a closer look, his gaze lingering on the corpse's calf for a moment - this time there was no shikigami hanging there, but there was an indentation of a strange shape.
Jiang Xia looked at the indentation and nodded to the passing police officer. He couldn't help but dub himself in his mind - the new clue was successfully checked in.
Just as I was thinking about it, other clues arrived.
Officer Chiba checked the surveillance camera in the elevator and said, "After the concert, Ms. Yukiko did not take the elevator. She should have walked down the stairs from the top floor."
Inspector Megure was stunned: "...The building is so tall, take the stairs?"
Next to him, the highly suspicious Aoki Shouta nodded and explained this strange phenomenon: "When we were about to take the elevator, Mr. Makuma from Thomas Records also came - he was the one who wanted to sign us. At that time, he probably didn't want to ride with us, so he chose to take the stairs. Yukiko asked us to go first and she chased after him. She must have gone to talk to him."
...Another suspect has been added.
In the corner, Vermouth touched her chin with a hint of doubt:
Usually, doesn't Wuzo prefer to choose one out of three? Why did he bring so many people today? ... Could it be related to her rare guest?
…
"Yes, when I was coming down from the top floor to the eighth floor, Miss Yukiko suddenly came to talk to me. I chatted with her briefly."
Mr. Jianxiong from the record company was also quickly called to the scene.
He pushed his glasses and shook his head in a dull tone: "After that, I left. She didn't leave with me. She said she didn't want other members of the band to see us walking together - I can understand this. After all, although we want to recruit her, we haven't officially signed her yet. Before that, she has to continue to stay in the original band."
Xi Bencheng snorted sarcastically, and said, "Don't explain. She didn't leave with you. It's probably because you killed her."
Tanaka Risako shook her head: "But Mr. Makuma doesn't have the key to the lounge." She looked at the people from the record company and her mind moved slightly - since they want to poach someone, and now Yukiko is dead... maybe there is a chance to poach her? She is actually a good singer...
We must try our best to seize this opportunity to debut.
Tanaka Risako took the initiative to block the pot that was flying towards Makuma: "Nishimoto, I think you were the one who killed the person. I remember that you were severely dumped by Yukiko - and from the time we separated until you returned the key, you acted alone during that period of time. You had enough time to kill Yukiko."
"So what if I was dumped!"
...Of course, they started arguing again.
However, Mr. Jianxiong, who had sparked the verbal fight between the two men, seemed in no mood to meddle with this farce.
Xiong Du looked around the room and actually walked to Jiang Xia's side: "You are Jiang Xia, right? Um...are you free tomorrow?"
Jiang Xia looked at him and instinctively wanted to nod - according to experience, this meant that another case had come to his door.
But then I thought, he really has something to do tomorrow...
"I have an appointment with someone to have tea this afternoon." Jiang Xia hesitated, "But if you have a commission, I can handle it first - especially things related to personal safety, you can come to me at any time."
A passing police officer happened to hear this and nodded in admiration: high school detectives know how to take the initiative to work overtime to protect the safety of citizens. Compared with this, I don't think I have anything to complain about working overtime every day for murder cases...
