At the Kazuki Media Office, in addition to Twilight and others, related personnel, including President Kazuki, also walked into the office.

"What's the matter? Why did you call us all here? President Kazuki reluctantly sat down with his arms crossed, "Let's talk about it first, the 100 million ransom was you who fell into the river by yourself, and it has nothing to do with me......

Shui Ling said angrily: "The ransom is calculated as I borrowed from the Chenghu detective, but after this time, I will dissolve the relationship with Dyswood Media!" ”

"Reika, I'm also doing it for your good," President Kamaki looked bitter and took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, "Now you're safe and sound......

"I was saved by a city detective!" Rei Rush looked at the pretending president, and she didn't want to stay any longer, so she could only look at Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng asked Officer Mudu for relevant evidence, nodded and walked in front of everyone: "I brought everyone here this time, just to investigate the truth of this kidnapping incident...... Because the murderer's purpose was not to make money, but to use this kidnapping to kill Mr. Yasuoka. ”

"Kill, kill my husband?" Manami Yasuoka bit her lip, "Why did the murderer do such a thing?" ”

"That's why I want to talk to you," Gao Cheng glanced around the crowd, "because the murderer of this incident, the clown puppet, is among you!" ”

"What?!"

President Kazuki looked at Gao Cheng in amazement, sweat streaming down his forehead and looking back and forth with the person next to him.

"The puppets are in us?"

"That's the ...... Who exactly is the murderer? Manami Yasuoka asked eagerly.

Gao Cheng raised his arm and pointed his finger at Manami Yasuoka under the nervous gaze of everyone: "No need to pretend, Miss Manami." ”

"Huh?" Manami Yasuoka took a step back with a dry smile and said in front of everyone's eyes, "Don't, don't be kidding, Detective Joto, how could I be the murderer?" My husband is a victim!! ”

"I'll start from the beginning," Gao Cheng directly interrupted Manami Yasuoka and said in a deep voice, "There are actually two incidents this time, one is the initial kidnapping incident, and the other is the murder of Mr. Yasuoka, about the kidnapping incident, there is actually another prisoner!" ”

"Another prisoner?"

"He is the agent Yasuoka Hoyuki who was kidnapped with Reika and then killed by a puppet."

Gao Cheng took out the photo from the original threatening letter.

"In other words, Mr. Yasuoka was actually an accomplice at the beginning, and he designed a fake kidnapping scene with the puppet......"

"Fake kidnapping?" President Kazuki stood up from the couch, "Why did Hoyuki do such a thing?" ”

"His purpose should be to prevent Miss Reika from becoming your adopted daughter," Gao Cheng glanced at President Kazuki, "He is your only relative, and I originally thought that the property and the position of president of Kazuki Media would be his own sooner or later, but recently you want to adopt Miss Reika......

In order to stop this, he chose this fake kidnapping, first pretending to be kidnapped with Miss Reika, and then extorting a sky-high ransom of 100 million yen...... His original plan was to accept the counterfeit money and let Miss Reika know that you were a ruthless miser and voluntarily refuse to become an adopted daughter. ”

Twilight was surprised, "Then the ...... who contacted you to pay the ransom at that time"

"Maybe it's Yasuoka himself," Gao Cheng nodded slightly, "Because I helped prepare 100 million yen, and if the deal goes well, the plan is likely to be ruined, so Yasuoka changed his plan and deliberately made it difficult for me to make the deal go smoothly......

"Things are going well, President Kazuki not only prepared counterfeit banknotes but also called the police regardless of the safety of the hostages, no accident Miss Reika will no longer be an adopted daughter, but at this time something unexpected happened......"

Gao Cheng said and looked at Manami Yasuoka with a stiff face: "He didn't expect the accomplice to actually use this fake kidnapping to kill him, pretending to be killed because the deal failed, this is the double plan formulated by the puppet, which was to kill Yasuoka in the first place." ”

Manami Yasuoka's face moved, and she bit her lower lip and said angrily, "Can you say that I am a murderer?" Why should I kill my husband?! ”

"Manami-sama," Gao Cheng asked, "I heard that your husband has been cheating, but you have never turned a blind eye......"

"So what?" Marina Yasuoka said angrily, "I married Hoyuki at a low point in my life, so I've always loved him!" Besides, I've never been to Lake Kawaguchi, so how could I possibly kill Hoyuki? ”

"That's right, Detective Joto," Reika Hasamizu said confusedly, "Didn't everyone wait together for news at noon on the 17th when Mr. Yasuoka was killed in the villa?" ”

"In other words, it takes three hours to get from here to Lake Kawaguchiko on the highway one way, how can we kill Yasuoka?"

President Kazuki and the others looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously.

"Reika saw Yasuoka being shot with her own eyes at the time, could it be that the murderer would teleport?"

"At that time, you may not know in the hospital, everyone is waiting for news together at noon, at most it takes a few minutes to go to the toilet, and it is impossible to run to Kawaguchiko to kill people at noon......"

"What if the killing time was not noon on the 17th, but noon on the 18th?" Gao Cheng suddenly opened his mouth to interrupt everyone's argument.

"18th?" Reika Hasami's eyes widened.

"Isn't it strange that the prisoner was not notified until after 3 p.m. on the 18th?"

Gao Cheng met everyone's eyes and took out a timetable.

"This is a timeline made based on Miss Reika's testimony, which was found by the clown when she wanted to escape on the evening of the 16th, woke up the next day on the 17th, was killed at 12 noon, and then the clown called us after 3 pm on the 18th......"

"What's wrong with that?" Manami Yasuoka gritted her teeth.

"On the 17th, everyone's alibi was perfect...... That's the purpose of the prisoner, but," Takasei quietly looked at Manami Yasuoka, "What if Miss Reika's testimony was designed by the prisoner from the beginning?" ”

"What does this mean?!"

"Suppose that Miss Reika is knocked unconscious on the evening of the 16th and wakes up the next day, there is still one day in between...... That's right, Miss Reika didn't wake up on the 17th day of the ransom trade, but on the 18th after that day, and everything made sense! ”

"How, how is it possible?!"

"I'm afraid that the prisoner let Miss Reika, who fainted, smell some medicine, and then confuse Miss Reika's memory with her accomplice Yasuka," Gao Cheng looked at Reika Hayami, who was dazed, "It was supposed to be to clean up the aftermath of the kidnapping case, but Yasuoka didn't expect that his accomplice planned to use this to kill him." ”

"But ......" Reika Hayami still feels incredible

"The reason why the murderer used up all the bullets was to let go of Miss Reika, deliberately disguised Miss Reika as a day of unconscious walking in the mountains and forests and threw it on the side of the road, and then returned here to call and reveal the clues of Kawaguchiko Villa, so that the police could find you on the road......"

Gao Cheng reasoned in a deep voice: "All of this is to make Miss Lingxiang testify that 'Yasuoka was killed at noon on the 17th', and the most obvious evidence is that Miss Lingxiang's sandals have no scratches at all after cleaning up the mud!" ”

Twilight suddenly realized, opened her mouth and said, "Because it's just a superficial disguise, those sandals that aren't very sturdy are nothing at all?!" So......"

"That's right, Miss Lingxiang's situation at the time, I'm afraid I don't know what's going on, and when I woke up, I provided a testimony according to the prisoner's design, thus creating a perfect alibi for the prisoner, this is the magic of spanning hundreds of kilometers in an instant, time and space!" Gao Cheng looked at Manami Yasuoka, who was trembling slightly, "Throwing Mr. Yasuoka's body into the lake is also to hide the real time of death......"

"But," interrupted the secretary, Hidesei Kobuchi, "the absence of scratches on the shoes does mean that Reika is not in the forest, but that doesn't prove that your reasoning is correct?" If there is no evidence......"

"Of course there is evidence."

Gao Cheng glanced at his secretary and took out a photo of an electric shaver taken by the police.

"This is the clown shaving Yasuoka, the purpose should be to worry that Mr. Yasuoka will have too much stubble after two days to arouse Miss Reika's suspicion, because Yasuoka belongs to people with more beards, and it will be quite obvious if he doesn't shave for two days......"

"What's wrong with shaving?" Twilight wondered.

"Yasuoka 17 was spent alone, what if I didn't shave that day?" Gao Cheng took out another enlarged photo of the stubble in the knife net, "The stubble in the razor has been checked, and all of it belongs to Yasuoka himself, but there are two lengths of stubble in it that have not been shaved for one day and two days, which proves that Yasuoka did not shave because he was alone on the 17th...... The accomplices probably didn't think of this, right? ”

Manami Yasuoka looked at Gao Cheng with fear, and her fingers trembled: "But, but, even so, everyone may be a murderer, right?" Can anyone other than us do it? ”

"Let's not talk about the reason why Mr. Yasuoka assisted the accomplice in creating an alibi," Takasei asked rhetorically, "When you learned that the hostages had been killed, Manami-san, do you remember what you said?" ”

"What did I say?" Manami Yasuoka swallowed, "Yes, I said something excessive, is it because of this that the detective has a grudge against me?" ”

Gao Cheng's face was calm: "Let me help you think about it, at that time, your original words were 'How could you fall into the river from the bridge so coincidentally'...... Everyone heard it very clearly. ”

"Any questions?" Manami Yasuoka snorted coldly, "Everyone knows about you falling off the bridge?" ”

"How do you know I fell off an empty drawbridge? Loose planks? Gao Cheng continued to ask.

"This, this...... I just heard the police say......"

"The police wouldn't say that, because the reason I really fell was because the rope on the suspension bridge was so worn out that it broke."

Gao Cheng took out a photo of the wreckage of the suspension bridge.

"After identification, I found obvious man-made fracture marks on the wooden planks of the suspension bridge, I'm afraid it was a trap you set, right? On the day of the transaction, when I heard that I had fallen into the river, I took it for granted that the agency I had set up had played a role...... Do you still want to say that you are innocent? ”
