Chapter 38: The Lawyer's Attempt
As he was about to step downstairs, he remembered why the ringtone was familiar, the ringtone of the music box that every room in this hotel would have.
The reason why Kogoro has an impression is because he has stayed at this hotel several times before. Thinking of this, Kogoro's brows furrowed tightly.
However, the pace under his feet did not stop, and he continued to walk downstairs. Lawyer Xun's strange behavior and tangled and chaotic language dragged on for an hour, as if he was deliberately dragging it out like this.
In addition, his wife seems to be in this hotel, but she has to make a call, it seems that something bad will happen, after all, Conan is here today.
As soon as he thought that there might be a murder, Kogoro couldn't help but be cautious, no matter what reason he had, no matter what mistakes the other party made, he should not commit the crime of murder.
So he immediately stopped, found a corner that was not easy to find, and hid. He sneaked a look into Lawyer Tatsumi's room, and the rest was as he expected.
After a while, Lawyer Xun cautiously opened the door, his eyes scanning around. After not finding the figure, he went out and closed the door, and then opened the next room.
As soon as he walked in and closed the door, Kogoro immediately ran over, and he pressed his ear to the door to hear the sound inside.
But this is a five-star hotel, and the soundproofing effect is naturally not bad, so he didn't hear anything.
Kogoro's brows furrowed tightly, not knowing what to choose. But after a moment's hesitation, he slammed the door into the door.
Compared to the embarrassment that you may encounter because you don't have anything. He trusts his own judgment more, and it is a human life, and if he hesitates for a while, it may be difficult to save.
I heard a bang, and the door was kicked open by Kogoro. He immediately looked inside the room, only to see Lawyer Xun looking at the door with a shocked expression, his hands still clenching a woman.
The moment he saw the woman, Kogoro recognized her. She is the object of Kogoro's investigation this time.,Lawyer Xun's wife.,Tatsumi and beauty.。
Because of surprise, the strength in Lawyer Xun's hand was reduced, and then Xun and Mei struggled vigorously and broke free from his hand at once.
Seeing that she was about to fall down due to lack of oxygen and overexertion, Kogoro rushed up with a brisk step and held her up. After confirming that she was not too serious, Kogoro looked at Lawyer Tsun.
"Lawyer Xun, I think you can give the police an explanation." Kogoro helped Tatsumi to the side of the bed and lay down, while looking at Lawyer Tatsumi vigilantly.
Listening to Kogoro's calm words, Lawyer Tatsumi's heart was very unsettled. He didn't know why Kogoro appeared, but he knew that if he couldn't solve this matter, he would be completely finished.
"Mr. Maori, money is very important in this society now, I think you must need it, right?" He looked at Kogoro with a determined expression, as if he didn't think he would refuse.
Smiled contemptuously, even if he didn't have the current wealth, he was the same Kogoro before. The insistence on right and wrong is not something that can be impressed with money.
"Keep your money for your own use! By the way, I'm afraid that if you shoot you in a short time, you won't be able to find a place to use it, so reflect on it in prison! ”
Hearing this, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said: "100 million, as long as you don't say it, I will give you 100 million yuan immediately!" But his expectations were destined to go unanswered.
Kogoro shook his head slightly, then took out his phone. Seeing Kogoro's movements, his face sank, and then he directly grabbed something and threw it at Kogoro.
But he clearly picked the wrong opponent, and before he could get closer, Kogoro directly gave way to his attack, grabbed his outstretched arm, and threw him hard to the floor with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Soon Officer Twilight arrives with someone, and with the testimony of Kogoro and Tatsumi Kazumi, plus the pinch marks on Tatsumi and Mi's necks and fingerprints, he has nothing to argue with.
Lawyer Xun, who was escorted up by two police officers, looked at Kogoro who didn't say a word, and couldn't help but speak. "Mr. Maori, I want to know how you know about my plans?"
"Well, at first, I was wary because your words and actions were so strange. It also happened that I had stayed at this hotel a few times and heard the ringing of the music box coming from Mrs. Xun's phone call. ”
"That ringing is a common ringing and can be heard in many places, but when I think of this hotel, I think of the music box that is in every room in this hotel."
"Originally, it was just a suspicion, but then I found out that you sneaked into this room, and I had a rough guess, and for the sake of a possible life, I came in."
After hearing Kogoro's explanation, Lawyer Tatsumi just smiled miserably. "It seems that everything is providential, I didn't expect you to live here. It seems that my biggest mistake was to find you, a detective, to do an alibi. ”
"Actually, I can't bear it, I, a lawyer, will be blackmailed by my wife. She actually filed for divorce from me to be with that man. ”
"I can bear it if I do this, but she wants me to give her 200 million. Since I was working as a consultant for some large companies, I naturally learned some of their secrets after a long time. ”
"Therefore, in order not to publicize those secrets, they gave me a lot of money in addition to the consultant fee, and naturally many of them were obtained illegally, and she used this as a threat."
"She's going to marry that man, and she still has to use my money, how can I bear it, so I planned this operation, but I never thought that it would be like this in the end."
Listening to his words, Kogoro didn't speak, the mistakes he made should naturally be borne by himself, there is nothing to say.
Later, lawyer Xun was sentenced to eight years for attempted murder and collecting illegal property, and most of his family property was confiscated.
And Tatsumi and Mei were also locked up for a while on suspicion of extortion, but after coming out, they still married her affair partner, and in order to thank Kogoro, they also sent him an invitation.
A few days passed in a flash, and Kogoro started his culinary journey again, but it didn't last long, and he received an invitation to the program of Nikyoi TV to be a guest on one episode.
Naturally, he had nothing to refuse, so he took Xiaolan and Conan with him. The person who invited him was the host of the show, Takashi Matsuo, who still has a certain reputation on the channel.
And the program planner is called Michihiko Sufang, but he doesn't pay too much attention to the arrival of Kogoro, or for this show.
