Chapter 2067-2075 [Wife-Killing Plan]
At this point, the lover suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly took out a folded paper from his pocket and said, "This is it!"
Miwako Sato put on gloves and took it carefully.
Then she looked at the ordinary copy paper. She looked left and right but couldn't figure out where the "joy of life" was hidden, so she had to open the letter to check the contents.
There were only two short lines of printed text on the paper. One line was the content, and the other line was the signature:
[I'll be waiting for you at my house at 11:30 noon, please come.
and beauty]
Miwako Sato: “…” If you slightly change the content of this letter, rather than a love letter, she would believe it if you told her it was a blackmail letter.
and……
"Let's not talk about the ordinary paper and the fact that it's not handwritten, but the honorifics are used here." Sato Miwako was puzzled. "Is this how lovers talk to each other?"
Hirose Shunzo blushed: "I thought she was playing a trick on me, like a worker coming to a rich lady's house to do some repairs, or a teacher coming to a student's house to give guidance. So before I came here, I was struggling for a while about what kind of clothes to choose. We used to..."
Inspector Megure heard something was wrong and said alertly: "Okay, stop!"
...They are here to solve cases, not to listen to weird music.
Hirose Shunzo's recollection was interrupted by Inspector Megure. He sighed and continued, "But when I arrived at her door, no one opened the door no matter how hard I knocked. No one answered the phone either. I thought Kazumi was in a bad mood or had changed her mind again, so I left first."
Inspector Megure extracted key information: "That means you not only don't have an alibi at the time of the crime, but you actually went to the scene?"
Hirose Shunzo felt something was wrong: "I really didn't kill anyone, I was being plotted against!"
Lawyer Xun walked closer and took a look: "Anyone can forge this kind of letter paper. Maybe this is just a temporary disguise after you killed someone impulsively."
Seeing that the murderous aura had almost subsided, Jiang Xia also joined the melee: "Indeed, anyone can forge such a letter. For example, you can print it out and use it as a prop to frame someone else."
“?!”
Lawyer Xun's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean!"
He quickly came back to his senses, suppressed his emotions, and said calmly: "I know you are a famous detective, but there is a price to pay for talking nonsense - don't forget, you are the one who can best prove that I don't have time to kill people. If you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Hashimoto who is with you to confirm it."
Hashimoto Maya had a numb face: “…” That’s enough, the roll call is not over yet, right?
But fortunately, since Jiang Xia has spoken, it means that he has seen through the script. This annoying lawyer won’t be able to jump around for much longer!
Under Hashimoto Maya's expectant gaze, Jiang Xia really spoke. He looked at Lawyer Xun and said, "From the time we met at noon to this evening, you did not have time to go home and kill someone. But this cannot be used as an alibi."
Lawyer Xun: "What nonsense are you talking about..."
"Because this murder did not happen in your home, but in the hotel where we met today." Jiang Xia, "Mrs. Xun was not at home when she made that call. She was sitting in the hotel room next to yours at that time."
Lawyer Xun felt like he was hit on the head with a stick. He opened his mouth but no words came out.
Jiang Xia: "You booked a room next to your office and asked Mrs. Xun to wait there. At the time you agreed on, she used her mobile phone to call the landline in your room.
"You calculated the timing of the call by looking at the watch, and deliberately went into the bathroom, letting the detective who came to discuss the case answer the call instead of you - that's why your case was not urgent at all, but you were so anxious that you kept looking at the watch when you took us upstairs.
"You were not worried about the commission of 'finding the cheating partner' itself, but you were worried about missing the phone call if you were too late. So when the detective you arranged to meet with failed to arrive for some reason, you could only find me, a detective who happened to be at your doorstep, to continue your plan.
"Anyway, it should be hard for the person who answers the phone for you to imagine that the person calling is right next door - right, Mr. Hashimoto?"
Hashimoto Maya: “……?”
You started it too!!
It's all that bastard lawyer's fault. He set a bad precedent.
Maya Hashimoto didn't want to talk.
But Jiang Xia was his nominal superior after all, and even more so his mission target. Hashimoto Maya couldn't ignore him like he ignored the lawyer, so he could only nod and say, "Yes, I didn't think about anything at the time."
...In fact, he had thought a lot and even had a complete method of committing the crime in his mind, but unfortunately he didn't guess it right.
But now that the police were surrounding him, he certainly couldn't tell the truth. He just had to pretend he knew nothing.
Jiang Xia got the answer and nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Attorney Xun again and continued, "After discussing the commission with us, you went to the room next to the hotel, strangled Mrs. Xun who was waiting there, and tied her hands and feet to make it look like she was killed by criminals.
"It was the hotel staff's break time. You had lived in the hotel for a long time and knew their schedule very well. While there was no one in the corridor, you got the hotel's cleaning cart, put the tied body into a large dry cleaning bag, and used the cleaning cart to transport the body to the tool room on this floor.
"The tool room was connected to a pipe that led underground for dry cleaning. You threw the dry cleaning bag containing the body in it down there.
"That pipe doesn't go straight underground, but has certain bends and buffers. Even if the body falls along that path, it won't break. Even if there are slight bumps along the way, they will be considered as scars caused by her fighting with the criminals.
"After dumping the body, you hurried downstairs, found the corresponding dry cleaning bag, and moved the body into the trunk of your car. Then you went back upstairs to work and meet with clients, everything was normal.
"That way, when it's time to get off work, you can just smuggle the body back to your house and put it in the bathtub.
"When hotel staff deliver laundry bags, they usually staple numbers to the bags to distinguish different guest rooms. And the dry cleaning bag you were looking for had a used staple missing from it."
Inspector Megure suddenly remembered something: "Could it be that the stapler on the edge of the bathtub..."
Jiang Xia nodded: "It was dropped there accidentally when Lawyer Xun took his wife out of the dry cleaning bag.
"The bathtub in Attorney Xun's home is similar in size to the trunk of his car, so even if rigor mortis occurs, there is no need to reposition the body, and it can fit right inside.
"That letter was also a tool used by Lawyer Tatsumi to lure Mr. Hirose into the trap. In this way, the wife and the lover were dealt with in one go."
