Chapter 34: Who is the Viper?
"Luckily, for some reason, the building has surveillance inside, otherwise you would be sitting here as suspects."
"It's really just an accident......"
"Whether it's an accident or not will not be discussed. Tell me what you're going to do when you find Mr. Tsunan? Especially you, who forced the other person to jump suddenly. β
Shiliang Zhenchun roared in a low voice: "It's all said that it's an accident!" β
"Officer Kawanishi, do you see if there's a flying saucer over there?"
"Flying saucers? How could this thing be here. β
Although Kawanishi Muqi didn't believe it, he couldn't help but look in the direction of her finger. And Qinghai Chuantang also took advantage of this opportunity to vividly show what it means to steal beams and change columns.
The mobile phone that was originally placed in a transparent bag on the table was replaced by Qinghai Chuantang. And this mobile phone, which happens to be Jinnan's, may have some secrets hidden in it.
This operation, Shiliang Zhenchun was stunned for a moment, and even a little surprised.
This technique has obviously been practiced.
"Maybe I'm wrong."
At this time, the mobile phone has been put into the pocket of Qinghai Chuantang.
She couldn't help but laugh a little, and then said, "Officer Chuanxi, since the two of us have cleared our suspicions, can we leave?" β
Kawanishi nodded.
"But pay attention in the future, don't run around outside with two girls, this world is very dangerous."
There is some concern in this. After all, in several previous cases, female victims were the majority.
Shiliang Zhenchun was a little surprised, he didn't wear a skirt today, why did the other party recognize his real gender at a glance?
The curious Shiliang is innocent and innocent, and expresses the doubts in his heart. In this regard, Kawanishi Mugui's explanation is: If you see more, you will naturally know.
The 36-year-old Kawanishi Muqi is naturally more experienced than young people.
After leaving, the two came to the Rice Flower General Hospital.
Jinnan was lying in bed, showing no signs of waking up.
"Listen to this."
Qinghai Chuantang stuffed the other earphone into the other person's ear.
"I heard that it was the Minister who found out that I committed suicide and called the police. Why did you come to my house? β
"I'm under no obligation to tell you. But I kindly advise you to be careful, otherwise if you are not careful, you will be bitten by a poisonous snake. β
Viper?
Shinsumi Sera took off the headphones, "Mr. Tsunan also mentioned 'poisonous snakes' at that time. β
She leaned over and looked at the screen of her phone, only to see that the audio recording displayed on it was from "Minister Seito Mikio".
"In other words, this case is likely to have something to do with this minister." Shiliang Zhenchun touched his chin and thought, "Then now, should we find the minister first?" β
"No, let's go to Mr. Jinnan's house first."
"Home? But we don't know where he lives. β
Sera Zhenjun showed a puzzled expression.
"Definitely."
Qinghai Chuantang shook his head and clicked on the navigation, which had a "home" marked with an asterisk, which was used as a common navigation route.
Thanks to the times and the progress of science and technology.
"Now let's start navigating."
A mechanical female voice sounded, and the distance above showed that it was 142 kilometers.
Before leaving the hospital, Qinghai Chuantang called Akakawa Aoi and asked if the other party could ask for one thing if it was convenient. And Akakawa Aoi readily agreed, without the slightest drag.
What a warm-hearted person.
Qinghai Chuantang silently labeled it with an impression.
"Destination ...... Reached"
There was a man in a suit who seemed to be waiting for them.
Luckily, it's Takagi.
Takagi said euphemistically: "Miss Tang, if you follow Conan's example, it will be difficult for us to do it......"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, not next time."
After exchanging mobile phones, Qinghai Chuantang also expressed his gratitude.
"Kawanishi-senpai has already guessed your purpose, so please ask me to help. In fact, we also felt that there was something suspicious about that case, but for some reason that it was inconvenient to inform, we had to suspend the investigation. β
"Could it be, the poisonous snake has infiltrated the Metropolitan Police Department, right?"
The three of them exchanged as they walked.
"Vipers? How can it be? β
Takagi seems to think that what the other party is talking about is snakes. He said that the Metropolitan Police Department is very safe and that there will never be anything like that.
The room in Jinnan is simply furnished, and it seems that it is just a place to sleep.
Looking around, there was nothing special.
Qinghai Chuantang walked over and opened the curtains, only to see that the windows were full of dense words.
"Suicide? Gas poisoning, funeral in October, Wind Bird Hospital. β
"Vipers? Why? Director? β
"Izu Travel, September 15. Sleeping pill? Suicide note, Minister of the City Household. β
"Brave man resigns, April 26. Loafer supermarket employment, Tahara family. β
There's a lot more written about it. According to this information, Qinghai Chuantang has grasped a key point: what several people have in common is that they all died after leaving Fengniao Food.
And this jodo minister, who is the guardian of Yasukawa Tomosho, is a witness to the suicide of Mizushima Yuto. So, what role does it play in Kenji Hiraga's case?
And the "Tahara family" that appeared for the first time, and what is the connection between them?
The answer to all this may have to go to Wind Bird Food to understand.
Wind Bird Foods is a company that specializes in the production of confectionery. The corridor in the factory is full of candy posters, and if a child sees it, he is afraid that he will think that he has come to the candy world in a fairy tale.
"In the factory, there is a minister named 'Seito Kano', right?"
"Yes, he's our minister."
"Is he in the factory?"
"Not yet, but it should be soon. But if their deaths weren't an accident, then ...... in the end."
The employees of this factory are basically people who came out of the Wind Bird Orphanage.
Tahara Ieji is no exception.
When he proposed that he wanted to see the Tahara family and ask about something, the other party hesitated a little and finally agreed.
In the reception room, the person sitting opposite them was Tahara Ieji.
His eyes are cross-eyed, and he looks a little stupid.
"Do you know Mr. He Xianji?"
Qinghai Chuantang softened his voice, in case he accidentally scared the child.
"He's a good guy. But he died......"
After saying that, Tahara Ieji couldn't help crying.
It was also at this time that Mikio Joto opened the door and walked in.
"I heard you're looking for me?"
Qinghai Chuantang and Shiliang Zhenchun glanced at each other.
The place of the conversation changed from the reception room to the minister's room. The room is bright and clear, with all kinds of sweets in the glass case, and even on the desk, there are a lot of candy piled up.
"When Mr. Brave committed suicide, you were the first to find out, right?"
"Yes."
"Then you went to Mr. Brave's house, did you have something to do?"
"I heard that Yongren has a hard time after independence, so I plan to talk to him after work."
"It seems that you are a very responsible minister. Even after these children are gone, they are managed in this way. β
"After all, these children are helpless, and I just did what I could do. I helped to handle and manage the monthly salary passbook they made after entering the factory, and if it were them, they might not be able to save a few dollars in a year. β
"I heard that Mr. Yongren died at home by opening the gas valve. But how did you get there? β
Joto Kano hesitated for a moment, "The house rented by the brave man is next to me, so he knows the gate code." β
"What's the password?"
Kikio Joto smiled, "I'm sorry, I can't remember clearly. β
"Another question, where were you on the day Mr. Kenji got into the train accident? What was done? β
Mikio Shiroto thought about it for a moment, "That day, it seems that I received the news of the accident at the Wind Bird Training Center. β
How does a person outside the door know that the person inside the room is going to commit suicide?
If there is one lie, there may be more lies.
As soon as he walked out of the factory, Qinghai Chuantang received a call from Akakawa Aoi, and the other party's apologetic voice came from the other side.
Tsunan's condition suddenly deteriorated, and death was announced.
"That's right. I saw the insurance policy on the minister's desk, in addition to some passbooks. Could it be that he deliberately caused the accident caused by those people, and then used it to get a huge amount of compensation? β
Homicide cases are textured, aka the so-called motive.
As it turned out, all three had life insurance, and before leaving the factory, they also bought death insurance, and the name signed in the beneficiary column was the same person: Tahara Ieji.
The account details cannot be denied.
In about the same time, a huge sum of money was deposited into the account of Kenji Hiraga's fiancΓ©e.
This is enough to explain the motive for killing in Seongto Kano.
With conclusive evidence, Mikio Joto was quickly arrested by the police. In the interrogation room, Seongto Mikio did not say a word, exercising his right to silence.
After a long time, the door was opened, and a man entered.
It was the director of the Wind Bird Orphanage.
When Kikio Joto saw the person coming, his eyes couldn't help but dodge for a moment.
"Ganxiong, why are you doing this!"
Yoshimura Nagakage came to his side, but he didn't mean to look at the other party at all, and deliberately twisted his head to the side.
"If you have a problem, you should talk to me, how can you do such a thing? In the future, you don't have to worry about anything, I will take good care of your wife. β
As he spoke, Yoshimura Nagakei hugged him, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said as if admonishing, "Say it all." β
Mikio Shiroto couldn't help but shed tears, perhaps repenting for the crimes he had committed.
After Yoshimura left, Mikio Shiroto confessed to his crime.
"I killed people. My wife is seriously ill and needs a lot of money......"
Here's his motive for committing the crime.
"What was the motive and method of killing Mizushima Yuto?"
"Let the brave man fall asleep, turn on the gas again, and let him suffocate to death."
"Where do sleeping pills come from?"
"I stole it from the hospital where my wife lives."
"Who is the Viper?"
"I'll make snakes."
