Chapter 34: Cross-examination
"Mr. Officer, didn't you already ask me about the situation last time? I already told you everything I knew......
President Asuda complained to Lin Xiuyi and invited Lin Xiuyi to sit on the sofa, and then instructed his secretary to make tea for the guests.
"Thank you, but I don't need tea! I've already drunk enough coffee before I go, enough for my caffeine intake in a day!"
Lin Xiuyi stretched out his hand to refuse, and then he asked President Asuda directly:
"Mr. President, the last time we visited, we learned a lot about Ms. Minato Fujiki. I have to thank you for that, but I'm here today to ask you a little bit about it. Because I know that you were the one who provided the police with proof of Mina Fujiki's alibi. According to my previous investigation, it seems that Minato Fujiki has always been a very ordinary housekeeper in your company, and I would like to ask you how you noticed Mina Fujiki's talent for cleaning baths?"
Lin Xiuyi took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket, and while asking questions, he recorded something in the notebook.
"This ...... Mina Fujiki is a veteran employee of ours, do I know anything unusual about her talent in cleaning the bath?"
President Asuda asked disappreciatively to Lin Xiuyi.
"President Asuda, I don't know if you know, but the wooden bath that Mina Fujiki is good at cleaning is so cumbersome to take care of that it doesn't have any individual users on weekdays. The main users are traditional ryokans and hot spring inns. As far as I know, your company's main business has always been housekeeping, and it seems that your company has never set foot in industries such as hot spring inns and ryokans, which have relatively small business volumes. And I also investigated a little, and it doesn't seem like a lucrative business to clean this wooden bath. So I don't know how you found out by what kind of coincidence did you find out that Mina Fujiki has a talent for cleaning wooden baths?"
"This ...... I also happened to hear her talk about her family, which was originally a craftsman in the cleaning industry. Don't you think it's weird?"
President Asuda casually said perfunctorily to Lin Shuichi.
"It's not strange, but since you know so much about Ms. Minato Fujiki, you must know that she has a son who excels in his studies!"
Lin Xiu saw that the other party had already shown an unnatural expression, and he already had his own judgment in his heart. He looked at President Asuda's demeanor seriously, and found that the other party's eyes began to unconsciously avoid his gaze.
"This ...... I think I've heard her talk about it!"
President Asuda said to Lin Xiuyi with some hesitation.
"It seems that you should have noticed, by the way, Ms. Fujiki Minatsu's son Tetsuji Fujiki should have only been admitted to Tokyo University last year, so you should also know that the school he studied before was a university!"
Lin Shuichi confirmed to President Asuda again
"Yes!"
President Asuda nodded with a serious expression, and Lin Xiuyi noticed that his knuckles seemed to have turned a little white.
"It's a fantasy that the son of a cleaning lady can enroll in one of Tokyo's most prestigious universities. To be honest, a college of this level as Kaicheng University, even if you have money, may not be able to pass the school's admissions. The school has a deviation of 77, and more than half of its graduates are admitted to the University of Tokyo every year. To use an analogy that is not an exaggeration, being able to enter Kaisei University is equivalent to stepping into the door of Tokyo University on one leg, so even if there is a glimmer of hope, parents will most likely be willing to try to consult through the relationship of Ms. Mui Nadu!"
As soon as Lin Xiuyi finished saying this, he immediately looked at President Asutian, and it was not until President Asutian looked up and noticed that Lin Xiuyi was staring at him that he nodded a little panickedly.
"President Asuda, do you have any children?"
Lin Xiu's words changed sharply, and he suddenly inquired about President Asutian's situation.
"Yes, I have a son!"
President Asuda admits stubbornly.
"If I'm not mistaken, did Ling Gongzi also study at Kaicheng University?"
"Hi...... Hey!"
President Asuda took out a tissue and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then admitted to Lin Xiuyi with some hesitation.
"In that case, President Asuda should also know the deceased Mr. Shuntaro Kobayashi through Ms. Minato Fujiki's connections!"
"I ...... I'll admit that I asked Minami Fujiki to introduce me to Mr. Kobayashi, and my son used to attend a public school in Tokyo and had very good grades. It has always been his goal to be able to enter Kaisei University and study at the University of Tokyo. So, when I learned that Minato Fujiki's son was studying at Kaisei High School, I couldn't wait to ask her......"
President Asuda closed his eyes and confessed to Lin Shuichi, but he obviously had reservations.
"It seems that Ling Gongzi finally got his wish and entered Kaisei University!In this way, Ms. Fujiki seems to have provided you with a lot of help, and the reason why you suddenly got involved in the cleaning business of Qingyun Pavilion is probably also a reward for Ms. Fujiki!"
"Exactly as you say......"
Lin Xiuyi casually recorded some content in his notebook, and then he suddenly closed his notebook and pen, and then stood up and said to President Asuda:
"Thank you for your cooperation, I think I've got what I wanted. It's too much to come to you and ask you about these things!"
Suddenly, when he heard Lin Xiuyi say goodbye, President Asuda couldn't believe his ears, and he couldn't figure out why this policeman was suddenly leaving again? However, since he was willing to go, let him go.
"I'll send you off! If you want to come over next time, you can make an appointment with me in advance, so that I can arrange things at work!"
President Asuda immediately stood up, saluted Lin Xiu, and was about to send him away. Lin Xiuyi thanked him, and then walked out under the leadership of President Asuda, just when one of Lin Xiuyi's feet had already stretched out of the office door, he suddenly stopped and said apologetically to President Asuda:
"Oops, oops, I almost forgot, I seem to have lost your business card, I wonder if I can ask you for another one?"
