Chapter 304: Press Conference

After a while, the phone call from Shiratori's side also came.

After questioning, it was learned that Mr. Ronei had indeed had a conflict with the deceased.

The reason for the quarrel between the two was that Mr. Murakami did not plan to continue working with their publishing house, and without Mr. Yanouchi knowing it, he negotiated another publishing house to publish it.

Of course, this is indeed enough to be the motive for the killer after the wrath of the editor Yanauchi, but he does have a strong alibi.

On the night of the incident, Mr. Yanauchi was in a bad mood because of the deceased's decision, and went to an izakaya for a drink with his colleagues in the editorial department after work.

I started at eight o'clock, then went to a nightclub at eleven o'clock, and played there until 2 o'clock in the evening.

Now, after questioning colleagues, I have obtained a definite testimony, and the two have been together all night, although further verification is needed in case the other party helps to make false confessions.

But there is no doubt that Mr. Runai's suspicion has been minimized.

As an editor, Mr. Yanuchi has a perfect alibi.

As a housewife, Yamaden went home early at eight o'clock after cooking dinner.

When I left, the agent Shibakusa Mitsuko was having dinner with the deceased, so it was enough to prove that the other party was not suspicious.

After all, if you put sleeping pills as you like, there is no guarantee that the deceased will obediently go to the study, and it is more likely that you will go directly to the bedroom.

As for the last agent, Shibakusa Mitsuko, the situation is the most complicated from the current point of view, after all, the deceased's wife divorced because of the other party, and why the deceased made such a choice is still unknown.

She has previously talked about her sexual orientation, which has also been confirmed, not only does she have a girlfriend, but the two are also living together in a bright way.

According to the neighbors, the two girls have been living together for many years and have not been married, but the secrecy is very good, and the neighbors around them thought that they were just close friends, and they didn't think about it.

Moreover, Mrs. Murakami and the deceased have been divorced for a long time, and Shibakusa Mitsuko has no intention of being on the throne at all, and when Tang Ze visited the deceased's house, he did not find any traces of a woman's life.

At the same time, killing Murakami-sensei is also very detrimental to her career as a writer, after all, after Murakami's death, his recommendations and connections can no longer be used.

After some investigation, the more it is investigated as a homicide case, the more the shadow of the murder incident is not visible, but it is everywhere corroborated that the deceased may have died of suicide or accident.

And the news that followed this increased the possibility of accidents.

The deceased was taking sleeping pills!

After the initial testimony was verified, Karasawa asked Takagi and the others to investigate the surrounding hospitals, centered on the deceased's mansion.

In the end, it was found out that Mr. Murakami would go to the nearby Mihua Private Hospital every month to prescribe sleeping pills, and the amount of medicine prescribed was the amount he was taking every day.

And I confirmed with the doctor that he personally went to the hospital to prescribe the medicine.

If this is the case, combined with a series of previous evidence, it is very likely that the deceased fell asleep at his desk after taking the usual sleeping pills every day, which coincided with the lack of ventilation in the stove and died of poisoning.

"Really? It turns out that he has been taking sleeping pills. ”

"That's true." Takagi nodded and reported to Officer Twilight, "And according to the questioning, neither the housewife nor the agent seems to know about it." ”

"Why?" Officer Twilight frowned, "Mr. Yanuchi, the editor, doesn't know that there are extenuating circumstances, even if the friendship is long enough, but after all, he is an outsider.

But the other two can be said to be the people in charge of the deceased's daily life, and even they don't know that the deceased is taking sleeping pills? ”

"Well... Maybe it's because you want to hide that being a best-selling author can also cause insomnia due to heavy stress. Takagi guessed.

"The so-called self-esteem of men..."Officer Twilight nodded, and seemed to agree with the statement.

"The person has passed away, and there is no way to verify it now." Takagi sighed and said, "I didn't expect such a glamorous best-selling author teacher to have such troubles..."

"What about the medicine, how did you find it?" Officer Twilight asked again.

"It's behind the books in his study."

Chiba reported: "After we learned that the deceased had taken sleeping pills, we carefully searched the books on the bookcase and found the bottle containing sleeping pills, which was obviously hidden on purpose. ”

"So Murakami-sensei's death is really an accident!?"

After hearing everyone's conversation, judging by the available evidence, Yumi Miyamoto had a look of disbelief on her face, "How is this possible!!" ”

She covered her head with her irritated hands, grabbed her hair like a chicken nest, and kept shouting, "This joke is not funny at all!" The great writer Takaki Murakami actually died in an accident?

Just so careless?

The world will be laughed at when they find out! Could it be that in the future, Mr. Murakami will be called the ridiculous title of "writer who accidentally hung up"? I will never allow it!! ”

"Okay, okay, a little bit of peace." Tang Ze looked at Yumi Miyamoto as if there was a raging fire burning behind him, and he couldn't help but hold his forehead and said speechlessly: "I have something serious to ask you, be serious." ”

"Oh no! Agent Shibakusa Mitsuko is holding a press conference now!! ”

At this moment, Shiratori suddenly broke in and told everyone the news.

"What? Press conference? Officer Twilight quickly got up and turned on the TV in the conference room, and after tuning to the TV station designated by Shiratori, he happened to see Shibakusa Mitsuko's speech.

"Actually, I, Mitsuko Shibakusa, have been working as a gunman for Mr. Takaki Murakami for the past few years, writing works for my teacher.

"The Flowing Xiaodun Canal", "The Lovers of July", "The Love of the Child" and so on have been published in the past three years, all of which I have written. ”

As soon as she opened her speech, Shibakusa Mitsuko directly dropped a bombshell, which directly caused a commotion among the reporters present.

In the face of the commotion of the reporters at the scene, Shibakusa Mitsuko still said calmly: "I have admired my teacher since I was a girl, so I am sincerely happy to be able to publish my work in the name of my teacher."

Of course, Mr. Murakami gave me most of the remuneration for books, and even Mrs. Murakami was secretly jealous because of my suspicion that Mr. Murakami was having an affair with me, so the teacher had to choose a divorce. ”

As soon as these words came out, the uproar at the scene became even greater, and the frequency of flashing lights became more and more frequent.

And Shibakusa Mitsuko's words, at first glance, were to show that Mr. Murakami valued her, not only did most of the manuscript fees be given to her, but also divorced his wife for this reason.

While praising himself, he is also secretly belittling Murakami's character, which can be described as a pun.
