Chapter Seventy-Two: Murder in Disguise Part II
"In order not to be discovered by the police who came later, and then to be punished, I took the document and hid it in my car." "That's why you've only spent ten minutes!"
"Yes!" He lowered his head in frustration, at this time, he was in a very bad situation, not only embezzling the company's funds without permission, but also suspected of intentional homicide, but he couldn't say any words to refute it.
When the police found the document from where he said, he was even more desperate, but kept saying that he didn't kill President Kojima. When he arrived, President Kojima was already dead.
But no matter what, he can't escape prison. Although Yoshioka Juro's motive for murder was found, there was still no sufficient evidence, so the case still had to be investigated.
"To make sure, let's take another look at the surveillance video at the door!" As he spoke, Officer Twilight had the surveillance video played, and the screen jumped one after another until Takeo Izumi arrived.
"The time is not wrong, come at eight o'clock and leave at eight forty. Then Miss Chihiro Kojima came at the right time, and the security personnel did meet President Kojima during this time. ”
Soon, the video was over, and there was no difference from what Officer Twilight had told me earlier. The only thing that Kogoro cared about was that during Chihiro Kojima's visit, President Kojima came out to meet the security personnel in pajamas and a mask.
However, he had no evidence, so naturally he didn't open his mouth to question anything. He turned his gaze to Izumi Takeo and asked. "Mr. Izumi, when you came, was President Kojima dressed like this?"
"Ah, this, it's not like that!" "Are you sure!" "I'm sure!" After listening to his confident answer, Kogoro's brow furrowed tightly.
Once again, he leaned over to Ikuko Kojima's corpse and carefully examined some of the details. Seeing his appearance, Fei Yingli also stepped forward, and her brows furrowed tightly after taking a look.
It's not that I'm disgusted or afraid, but I feel a little awkward. She looked at it a few more times before she spoke to Kogoro. "You pay attention to her mask, the edge is too neat!"
"Masks? Yanbian? Make level!? Kogoro glanced at the mask in a daze, and then his eyes suddenly lit up. That's right, that's right! Yingli, you've really helped a lot! ”
"Officer Twilight, come and see this mask! Doesn't it feel weird? If she had put it on while she was alive, the corners of the mask would definitely have some wrinkles with some movements. ”
"But look, isn't this mask too neatly applied!" After hearing this, Officer Twilight also took a closer look, and then suddenly understood.
"You're saying she was only covered after she died!" "Yes, it's not just that. Do most people wear pajamas and face masks to meet guests? I'm afraid that she put on the disguise for her after being killed, and only after the body gradually stiffened could it be so flat! ”
"I see, you guys hurry up and take off her mask and take a look, be careful!" Following his instructions, the forensic personnel immediately complied, and the face after unwrapping the mask was completely tense and looked very painful, the opposite of the flat mask.
Seeing the face under the mask, and thinking back to the surveillance video just now, Kogoro suddenly figured it out, he stared at Chihiro Kojima tightly, his eyes were quite sharp.
"Chihiro-san, can you explain? The mask on President Kojima's face was obviously put on after her death, so how did she go to meet the two security guards? ”
"Moreover, President Kojima didn't have lipstick, but President Kojima, who appeared in the surveillance video, was trying to use lipstick of the same color as you?"
Listening to Kogoro's questioning, Chihiro Kojima suddenly panicked. She couldn't argue with this matter at all, and it was indeed as Kogoro thought.
"After you killed President Kojima, you found out that the security personnel were about to arrive because the alarm device was accidentally touched, so in order to avoid being directly broken, you put on pajamas, put on a mask, and pretended to be your mother and sent the two of them away."
"Because it was originally a mother and daughter, plus the pajamas and masks, they didn't notice anything unusual at all. After that, you change President Kojima's clothes and leave. ”
The reasoning is reasonable, and Chihiro Kojima did disagree with her mother because of her marriage, even to the point of breaking off the relationship, if it was to vent her hatred or President Kojima's property, there was enough motive.
Chihiro Kojima, who was exposed to pretending to be the president of Kojima, had to accept the punishment of the law, even if she did not kill the person, she also had the crime of deliberately destroying the crime scene, giving false testimony, and concealing the facts of the murder.
Seeing that she was being taken away by the police while explaining in a pale and weak manner, Kogoro was very puzzled. When he was examining President Kojima's body, he found a strange place.
President Kojima is supposed to have poor eyesight and wears contact lenses, but there is only one in her eye, and the other one is found after looking for the scene.
After asking forensic staff for help, he still couldn't find it. Just after Officer Twilight locked the crime on Chihiro Kojima, Takeo Izumi opened his mouth to ask.
"Well, excuse me. If it's okay, can I leave? I still have something to do! "Well, no problem! You're good to go. Officer Twilight replied nonchalantly.
Just as Izumi Takeo turned to leave, he didn't notice his feet for some reason, and was tripped by Conan, who was lying on the ground looking for contact lenses.
The moment he heard the sound, Kogoro shifted his attention, and at that moment, a faint reflection came into his eyes.
Just after Izumi Takeo stood up, he was about to continue leaving, but was directly stopped by Kogoro. "Mr. Izumi, please stay! If you, the protagonist, are gone, how can you reason about it! ”
Hearing his words, everyone looked at him in surprise, and Officer Twilight asked in surprise. "Brother Maori, didn't you just say that the murderer was Chihiro Kojima!?"
"Miss Chihiro Kojima is indeed very suspicious, but the key evidence is that I know that the murderer is actually Mr. Takeo Izumi!" "What the hell did you find!? Didn't you say that he happened to meet you at 9:40? It takes 40 or 50 minutes to drive from anywhere! ”
"That's true, but if Chihiro-chan Kojima is right! The time for President Kojima's death is about to move forward! As for Miss Chihiro Kojima, it's just because of the sudden arrival of the security guards, who is afraid of being regarded as a murderer! ”
