Chapter 37: New Discoveries

"Knock knock!"...

"Who is it?"

"Is Mrs. Asuda at home?"

"Hey, please wait a moment, I'll open the door for you!"

Hearing the sound of an answer coming from the house, Lin Shuichi and Miki looked at each other and smiled. It seems that this time I was lucky and didn't make a trip in vain.

The door slowly opened as the door opened as the door opened, and a woman in her thirties leaned out to see who was standing outside the door. What she didn't expect was that there was actually a young man and woman standing outside the door, wearing very formal official clothes. This made Mrs. Asuda take them for granted as salesmen who came to sell products.

"That...... If it's a product to sell, it's better next time! My husband is coming home from work and I need to get dinner ready for him......"

"Uh...... I think you may have misunderstood something, in Shimobayashi Shuichi, he belongs to the Special Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section 1, and this one is my subordinate Miki Nakayama. We'd like to take a few minutes to ask you a few questions......"

As soon as Lin Xiu's words fell, he and Miki each took out their police accounts and showed them to Mrs. Asuda. Mrs. Asuda was a little overwhelmed for a moment when she saw Lin Xiuyi and Miki showing their police IDs, but she quickly squeezed out a forced smile, and then replied to Lin Xiuyi:

"That...... My husband is coming back soon, and I have to take care of dinner, so ......."

"Please rest assured, we won't delay you for too long, just ask a few small questions as usual, if it goes well, it will only take a few minutes!"

Lin Xiu didn't wait for Mrs. Asutian to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted the other party's prevarication. He pleaded with Mrs. Asuda with a smile on his face, in fact, Mrs. Asuda knew that she could not refuse, after all, the other party was not the salesman who begged her to buy a certain product, but the policeman who ordinary people would never want to have anything to do with him.

"In that case, then ...... Then hurry up, I really only have a few minutes!"

"Please rest assured, we won't be left alone, may I ask, can we go in now?"

"Ah...... Come in, please!"

Lin Xiuyi walked into the entrance uninvited, and then took off his shoes and replaced them with slippers handed over by Mrs. Asuda, and Miki also followed behind Lin Xiuyi. Led by Mrs. Asuda, everyone came to the living room and sat down.

"Well, do you want something to drink? I'll prepare it for you!"

"Ah...... Anyway, we'll just sit down and leave, so let's just get straight to the point! Mrs. Asuda, did your son enter Kaicheng School last year?"

"Hi...... What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Mrs. Asuda asked Lin Xiuyi a little nervously.

"So naturally you know Shuntaro Kobayashi, the former chairman of Kaisei School, right?"

"This ...... I only met Chairman Kobayashi a few times when I accompanied my son to school to participate in activities, so I don't think I knew each other......"

Hearing Lin Shuichi mention Kobayashi Shuntaro, Mrs. Asuda suddenly became even more nervous, but she still tried to calm herself. It's a pity that his eyes have already made Lin Xiu see through her heart.

"Are you really not familiar with it? Why don't you take a look at the material?"

Lin Xiuyi did not continue to question Mrs. Asuda's statement, he handed a look to Miki, and Miki immediately understood and took out a thick brown paper bag from the briefcase he was carrying, and then handed it to the coffee table in front of Mrs. Asuda with both hands.

Seeing that Miki and Lin Xiu were confident, Asuda hurriedly picked up the brown paper bag in a panic, and couldn't wait to see what was inside. But when she took out the contents, she only looked at them a few times. Then she lowered her head in shame, and tears fell from her eyes.

What Lin Shuichi handed her was nothing else, it was a photo taken when she and Kobayashi Shuntaro were cheating, which included both photos of the two making out in the car, as well as photos of the two feeding each other in a Western restaurant. In addition to this, there are even photos of the two of them frolicking in the open-air bath. Out of the care of the face of the person. Lin Xiuyi chose some photos that were not too out of place but could explain the problem very well and handed them to Mrs. Asutian. At this moment, Mrs. Asuda felt that she had no last fig leaf in front of the police.

"Mrs. Asuda, if I'm not mistaken, you and the deceased Mr. Kobayashi are lovers, right?"

"Lover...... How could I fall in love with this bad old man, if it weren't for my son, how could I be so cheap as to let him be wantonly ruined! Kobayashi Shuntaro is not human at all, he is a brute, and he threatens me that if I don't do what he says, he will kick my son out of Kaisei school...... I...... I'm so ...... Hate!woowoowoo......"

Lin Xiuyi and Miki looked at each other again, and then nodded tacitly to each other. In this way, the general motive of the whole case is already very clear!

The photos were forcibly searched by Shuichi Hayashi and Miki from a private detective agency. Just after Lin Xiuyi became suspicious of Asutian, Lin Xiuyi immediately conducted an investigation into Asutian's own bank account and capital transactions. As a result, there were two places where the flow of funds caught Lin Xiuyi's attention.

One of them was sent to Hayakawa-cho by bank transfer on the grounds of the special consultant fee of the Asuda Office, and the payee of the money happened to be Minato Fujiki, a member of the Asuda Office. The other amount, about 2 million yen, was transferred to a private research firm called Takahashi Office two months before Kobayashi's death. The money in Hayakawa Town, Minato Fujiki seems to have been returned to his company intact, but the money from Takahashi Office has been smoothly recorded by the other party.

Lin Xiuyi, who noticed the funds of the Takahashi office, used some means slightly, and then the office told the police the ins and outs of the matter.

"Yes, there was a guest named Asuda who suspected his wife of cheating, so he asked us to follow his wife, and as a result, we really found a lot of exciting scenes......

I don't know if it's because the Takahashi Office is worried about being targeted by the police and going to the door every day to find trouble, Lin Xiuyi just threatened a little, and the other party honestly handed over the negatives in his hand to Lin Xiuyi.
