Chapter 979 How many bottles of wine are there?
Then Jiang Xia recalled several people who could repeatedly suppress murderous aura: Gin would definitely go there even if he didn't have to worry about it, vodka was given with the wine, and the potential stock Akai Shuichi was following Okiya Subaru's path, and if he was put together with Amuro Toru, perhaps a strange murderous explosion reaction would occur, and the same would be true if he was put together with Gin.
There are so many bottles of wine, only Vermouth is missing.
Jiang Xia: “…” It doesn’t seem that difficult to get her to the venue.
However, after hesitating for a while, Jiang Xia decided to observe the situation secretly first.
There are more and more ghosts, and the most important thing is long-term development.
If Shuichi Akai was in the venue, Vermouth would undoubtedly be in some danger - in my impression, Shuichi Akai seems to be very unlucky with her. A year ago in New York, if Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan hadn't passed by and offered a helping hand, Vermouth might have been arrested by the FBI. In some scenes that have not yet happened, Vermouth seems to have been shot by Shuichi Akai with a shotgun. If she hadn't worn a bulletproof vest, she would probably have died.
...Just to be on the safe side, we’ll talk about it next time.
Jiang Xia sighed regretfully.
…
"...Um, Mr. Jiang Xia?"
On the other side, Inspector Yokomizo's voice came cautiously.
Jiang Xia came back to his senses, smashed the email on his phone, and looked up at him: "What did you just say?"
"It's about this case—" Inspector Yokomizo looked around furtively, and after confirming that no one was around, he leaned closer and said, "You know Komiyama Taizo, right?"
Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment, but soon he had an impression: a while ago, the film crew that Yasuzo Komiyama was in came to Tokyo to shoot a realistic suspense film.
At that time, Jiang Xia went to watch the performance and came back with a lot of murderous auras in his heart. When famous actors get too deep into their roles, they are really surrounded by murderous auras, but once they leave the stage, the murderous auras will naturally disappear. So in his spare time, Jiang Xia likes to go to the studio to watch the performances and occasionally go to watch a play.
Jiang Xia nodded: "That veteran actor with great acting skills?"
"Yes, it was him—in fact, he was murdered three days ago."
…
Inspector Yokomizo searched through a pile of documents and quickly found a few photos: "Based on the scene, we have identified three suspects, but we haven't had time to conduct further investigation. These three people..."
“They all turned themselves in to us and said they were the ones who killed Mr. Komiyayama!
"But the problem is, they didn't act in concert. They all said they acted independently."
Inspector Yokomizo scratched his coral head in frustration:
"There is actually no difference between all three people turning themselves in and none of them turning themselves in. We really can't tell who the real murderer is. To be honest, these three people who turned themselves in are all celebrities who have been gaining momentum recently. With so many people implicated at once, if we don't handle it properly..."
Jiang Xia listened carefully to his troubles and quickly grasped the key point: "You can't tell... In other words, all three of them have a motive for murder?"
Inspector Yokomizo nodded solemnly and handed the photo he had just found to Jiang Xia:
"On the day of the incident, there was an interview event at the Shizuoka Cultural Center, and Mr. Komiyama also attended. Before the show, the staff wanted to see him for something, but when they entered his lounge, they saw him lying on his back, dead.
"There were signs of blunt force trauma on the back of his head. We found witnesses in three adjacent lounges. Who knows... Well, look at the photos."
Inspector Yokomizo pointed to one of the photos, which showed a calm middle-aged man. "This is Kengo Katsue. For the past twenty years, Taiji Komiyama has always considered himself the 'most successful artist in Japan.' Mr. Katsue has a similar style to him, and he has always been the one who has surpassed him."
Then a woman with a high bun and a mature charm said, "Miss Niikura Yumiko, it is said that Komiyama Taishi often harasses her."
The last one was a handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes: "This is Hoshino Osamu. He has always had a good impression of Arakura Yumiko. He is very disgusted with Komiyayama's harassment. According to the staff, the two had conflicts before, but it was in public at that time, so the conflict was not serious."
"On that day, only three of them entered the crime scene and were the only ones who had the opportunity to take action."
…
Jiang Xia looked at the photos of the three people and thought absentmindedly for a while.
Then he looked at Inspector Yokomizo with a righteous face and said, "I do have some guesses about the case. But for the sake of rigor, before I draw a conclusion, can I meet these three people first?"
Inspector Yokomizo nodded. "That's fine. I just heard from the section chief that they sent away the reporters who came to stake out the area early in the morning. It should be safer today."
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and bowed: "Please help us find the murderer before tomorrow! The section chief has boasted that he will find the real murderer today. If we fail, we will be in big trouble!"
"Don't worry." Jiang Xia patted him on the shoulder and pushed him back to his seat. He had originally planned to rush back to Tokyo tonight to look into the bombing of the building. He said, "I already have an idea."
"!"
Inspector Yokomizo looked excited.
High school detectives are great, it would be nice if they could produce a few of them...
…
Shizuoka and Tokyo are not far away.
We soon arrived at the place where evidence was collected.
Accompanied by Inspector Yokomizo, Jiang Xia met three celebrities who were rushing to surrender themselves.
"Why are you here again?" The middle-aged Katsou Kengo raised his head from the table, glanced at Inspector Yokomizo who was walking in front of him, and then lay back on the table in annoyance, his tone irritable but with a hint of familiarity:
"I've said it so many times, I really was the one who killed the man - before the performance that day, I was reading the script of "Trend"... It was indeed a wonderful play, and I didn't say I wanted to act in it, I just took a look, but who knew that bastard Komiyayama suddenly rushed in. He tore up my script in anger, saying something like "This is a script tailor-made for me by the screenwriter, and a half-baked person like you should forget about it", and then threw the shredded paper at my face... How could I bear it!"
"I was so angry that I picked up the vase next to me and hit him on the head. He soon fell down and was motionless.
"After that, I was a little scared, so I moved the body to his own lounge. So that others would think it was his wife who did it. They just had a quarrel yesterday..."
Speaking of this, it may be that the topic of "corpse transportation and frame-up" was brought up in front of the police.
Katsou Kengo moved uncomfortably, raised his head from the table, and argued loudly: "Anyway, this is all that bastard's fault! - If he hadn't been drunk and suddenly came to scold me for fun, how could I not control myself..."
He stopped talking halfway.
His eyes were fixed on Jiang Xia.
Then he suddenly shouted angrily: "You actually hired a detective?! And a famous detective at that - I've already turned myself in, do you really have to make this a big deal?!"
