Chapter 879: Plan to Usurp the Throne
Later, at 9:20, Juro Yoshioka came to visit.
From the surveillance video, we can see that after pressing the doorbell at the front door, no one responded. Juro Yoshioka turned the door handle in confusion and pushed the door open.
After a while, he ran out in a hurry again and quickly left the surveillance range.
…
"According to the time comparison, Mr. Yoshioka Juro did not stop after leaving the Kojima family. He called the police immediately."
After carefully playing the surveillance video, Inspector Megure pressed the pause button, picked up his notebook again, and turned to the people who appeared in the surveillance video.
Inspector Megure's opinion, among all the witnesses involved in this case, who is the most suspicious...
First, Jiang Xia and the two security company personnel were ruled out. The security company personnel acted in pairs, and they did not even enter the room. They just stood at the door and chatted for a few words before leaving with the cat. Jiang Xia did not even enter the yard. The three suspects could be completely ruled out.
And the remaining three people who had entered the house...
When the security guard arrived, he met the deceased, so Izumi Goxiong, who left before that, the witness who was escorted here by two high school girls and an elementary school student, can also be ruled out.
As for the remaining two, Chihiro Kojima and Juro Yoshioka, who is the most suspicious?
Inspector Megure pushed Jiang Xia, who was distracted, to the side, revealing Chihiro Kojima who was hiding behind him: "Um, excuse me, was your mother still alive when you left?"
Chihiro Kojima was stunned. She always felt that there was something else behind Inspector Megure's words, as if he had already acknowledged that she was the murderer.
She slammed the table angrily: "I didn't kill him! It must be those two people, they both have motives!"
As she spoke, she pointed at Quan Wuxiong and said, "This guy, after getting the authorization from my mother, bought a bunch of junk stocks without authorization. I heard my mother complain that she lost 300 million because of this. And this guy——"
She pointed at Yoshioka Juro and said, "He and my mother had many conflicts over business matters, and he often muttered, 'I'll kill her sooner or later.'"
Yoshioka Juro stood up in panic: "I was just saying it! How can this be considered as evidence!"
When Chihiro Kojima saw that others were panicking, she immediately calmed down a lot and felt that the charge of "murder" was further away from her.
At the same time, in a hurry, she suddenly discovered other factors, turned to the police, and said loudly: "Oh, right, in the surveillance video just now, Yoshioka stayed in the house for more than ten minutes before calling the police - he could see the body as soon as he entered the living room! If he was really just a passer-by calling the police, he should have rushed out in a minute or two, why did he stay in the house for so long.
"And after he left, he had an extra file bag in his hand! - I've read a lot of detective-related newspaper clippings, which means I have a lot of experience in solving cases. There's definitely something wrong with Yoshioka! My mother must have some evidence of his crimes, and she used it to threaten him, but he ended up killing her instead!"
Officer Sato, who was listening: "..."
She couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia: Miss Kojima really deserves to be a frequent visitor to Jiang Xia's place. Her mind had completely turned into a detective's...
Miwako Sato has some impression of Chihiro Kojima——
A few days ago, they handled a case in which the deceased's brother robbed a jewelry store and scattered the stolen jewelry into what he believed to be the "burial site" in order to trick the police into digging the yard to look for the body.
Chihiro Kojima was the manager of the unlucky jewelry store. When she found out that the store was robbed, she ran out with a long gun. Afterwards, it was Miwako Sato who checked her gun license.
I didn’t expect that Chihiro Kojima would be involved in a case again so soon... Is this case-related physique contagious?
Although I was thinking about some other things in my mind.
However, there was not much delay in Miwako Sato's actions.
She raised her hand and called a few detectives, asking them to go to Juro Yoshioka's car and look for the document bag that Juro Yoshioka had taken away from the crime scene in the surveillance video.
At the same time, she looked at Yoshioka Juro and said, "The doubts Ms. Kojima mentioned are exactly what we are curious about. Would you mind explaining it?"
“…”
Yoshioka Juro's face turned pale and blue.
After a moment, he reluctantly handed over the car keys, expressing his willingness to "cooperate".
At the same time, he dejectedly pleaded: "You may not believe it, but...but I am really innocent..."
…
With the car key, the evidence collection process is much simpler.
Two minutes later.
On the coffee table at the crime scene, there was a thick brown paper envelope filled with various paper materials, and the cover was printed with words such as "Osawa Detective Agency" and "Investigation Report" - this was what Yoshioka Juro had just taken away.
Jiang Xia walked to the table with the cat in his arms and glanced down at the paper bag: "..."
We are both looking for a detective, and he is also a detective, so why don’t you come to him to place the commission?
It seems that "Amuro Detective Agency" is not well-known enough and almost missed this case... If it was changed to Jiangxia Detective Agency, maybe it would be easier to find?
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and temporarily suppressed the idea of disrespecting his boss.
However, on the bright side, Jiang Xia discovered that this case involved many of his acquaintances - Kinoshita Yoko who came to visit a friend nearby, Chihiro Kojima, a key figure in the incident, and Conan's team who ran into the "witness"...
Jiang Xia: "..." No matter which party encounters a situation, they may call him to report the case. Of course, Conan may have a little resistance in his heart, but in the eyes of Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, he is just a first-grade elementary school student with no say, so it's not a big problem.
…
"Inside... is the result of President Kojima asking someone to investigate me." Yoshioka Juro sighed and whispered, "I... well, I used the company's money to buy some things, and then I made a new account to prevent it from looking too ugly. In this paper bag is the original account that the detective found, and the evidence related to my embezzlement of public funds - this is what President Kojima told me when she asked me to come here. I came here tonight to discuss this matter with her."
"To put it simply, you embezzled public funds and the president found evidence of your misappropriation of company funds?" Inspector Megure suddenly realized and felt that he understood. "When you came to talk to the deceased, she used this to threaten and even blackmail you, so you decided to kill her?"
"The first half of the sentence is correct, but the latter part is wrong!" Yoshioka Juro shouted in injustice:
"I thought about killing her... No, I thought about having a good talk with her, but when I got here, she was already dead! Otherwise, how could I have gotten the results of the investigation so easily!
"——After entering the room, I saw President Kojima lying motionless on the ground, and I knew something was wrong."
