Chapter 98: Falling into the Eyes of Money
Night had already fallen, and the sea was glowing with silver scales in the moonlight.
The luxurious passenger ship is slowly moving on the sea, and there are still more than ten hours to go to the port of Tokyo.
The sound of leather shoes stepping on the iron staircase was a little abrupt in the silence and peace. The man hiding in the shadows looked left and right, and after making sure that no one saw him, he pulled out a long package in the shape of a strip from his arms.
A blood-stained napkin is wrapped in a Western-style kitchen knife, and if you throw it into the sea, you can wipe out the murder weapon and your own incriminating evidence.
But just as he raised his right hand and was about to throw it hard, there was a sound of applause behind him.
"Mr. Shoji, what are you holding in your hand? Can you show us? β
Shoji Shimoto looked at Shinichi Kudo, who was standing behind him, in disbelief, but he quickly put his hand down with excellent psychological quality, and said with a smile: "Oh, this is the new kitchen knife I bought." β
"It's not good to take the kitchen knife out of the kitchen, it's dangerous."
"I'm a chef, so I don't want to put myself in danger, thank you, Mr. Kudo, for your concern." Xiang Benji put the kitchen knife back in his arms as it was, and said with a smile: "I still have to prepare desserts for everyone, but I will be lost first." β
But just as he was about to go downstairs, he saw Ghost Chongzheng standing at the bottom of the stairs leaning on the railing, holding a cloth of glasses and slowly wiping the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses.
Both paths were blocked, and Shoji suddenly remembered that as long as he eliminated the murder weapon, there was no way to sentence him without evidence, so he quickly took out his kitchen knife and threw it into the sea with all his strength.
In this way, the evidence of his guilt will be lost in the sea.
Seeing that the other party wanted to destroy the evidence of the crime, Ritsu Sasashima put on his glasses and rushed to Shoji Samoto in two big strides, and wanted to take away the murder weapon under the gaze of the other party seeing a ghost.
Shoji Shimoto was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground, and the kitchen knife in his hand was thrown backwards. Ritsu Sasashima thought that Kudo was standing in the back, and he would definitely catch the murder weapon, but a dramatic scene appeared-
Kudo Shinichi actually reacted very quickly to the side when he saw the murder weapon thrown at him, and it could be seen that he should be very good at playing dodgeball when he was a child.
The perfect parabola, the sound of falling into the water with a full score, and the murder weapon just fell into the sea.
ββ¦β¦β
Silence was tonight's Kangqiao, and the three of them didn't react for a while, until the sound of Shoji Akimoto sitting on the ground and laughing broke the silence.
"Shinichi Kudo!"
"Sorry! I really just subconsciously avoided it! β
Sashima Ritsu was so angry that he held his forehead, he grabbed Shoji Shoji Akimoto, didn't even think about putting him against the wall, and said in an unkind tone: "Do you think that you can escape the punishment of the law by eliminating the murder weapon?" β
"What are you talking about, Mr. Officer? All I threw away was a kitchen knife, and I didn't throw it down on purpose, I was scared by the two of you. β
Shoji Shimoto chuckled, completely exposing his true nature, and said viciously: "If you don't let go, I will ask a lawyer to sue you for violating the law." β
"Do you think that if you dispose of the murder weapon, there will be nothing to prove? You're naΓ―ve, Mr. Shoji. Ritsu Sasashima didn't like the feeling of being threatened, so he couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand and said coldly.
"What do you mean by that?"
Kudo Shinichi suddenly stepped forward and squatted down, and said in an exaggerated tone, "Huh? Mr. Shoji, what's going on with your soles? How can there be glass shards? β
"There's something wrong with the glass shards, it's just that I accidentally stepped on it." Shoji didn't notice the problem, and it was clear that he hadn't taken a closer look at the environment at the scene of the crime.
"Mr. Xiangji, you should be that kind of student when you go to school, you lie on the table after the exam and wait for the time to hand in the papers, and you never check whether the answer sheet is filled in incorrectly, and whether there are any mistakes in the examination questions."
Kudo Shin kept getting up and said with a smile: "There are broken ashtrays at the scene of the crime, and you didn't pay attention to the environment at the scene when you wanted to kill someone, right?" I think the glass shard on the sole of your shoe was stepped on at that time, and if nothing else, Mr. Haozang's blood could be extracted from it. β
Ritsu Sasashima saw Shoji Samoto's shocked expression, obviously he didn't notice it.
Who made the liner so luxurious that the leather shoes touched the soft carpet and could not hear the crisp sound of the shards of glass embedded in the soles?
"Why don't you speak?"
"Heh, what else can I say... So the three of you were acting from the beginning? β
Three?
Ritsu Sasashima and Shinichi Kudo glanced at each other, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes. I'm afraid that the other Mr. Detective, who is not acting, really thinks that Kitaro Najimoto is a prisoner.
didn't bother to explain too much, and after the two brought the real prisoner back to the dining room, Mori Kogoro really showed a surprised expression, but quickly regained his composure and pretended to be "I already knew".
Ritsu Sasashima lowered his head and smiled, he really didn't expect Uncle Maori to be a drama spirit.
When Mariko learned that her husband was not a prisoner, she happily jumped up from her seat and looked at her son excitedly: "It's so good Ichiro, so that your father can get the property of the Akimoto family, and you will also be the head of the Akimoto family in the future."
Ichiro Rakimoto frowned and felt dissatisfied, his grandfather hadn't woken up yet, and his mother was actually full of money. He retorted: "Mother, I don't have any interest in inheriting the family business, I plan to study abroad and become an artist who can hold art exhibitions. β
"What do you say, boy? How much money can be made by opening an art exhibition, and sure enough, children don't understand anything. Mariko raised her glass gracefully, but instead of red wine, it contained freshly squeezed orange juice.
Akijiang sat at the leading table and looked at the gemstone ring on his ring finger, and said with a smile: "Auntie, we are really lucky~ Thanks to Uncle Xiangji, this grandfather will immediately abdicate and hand over the money to us to manage." β
"Hmph, yes, then the group belongs to my husband."
The dragon man with a hedgehog head said in an unkind tone: "Hey! Could it be that you want to monopolize Grandpa's property? β
"Don't worry, of course I won't forget to give you some." Mariko is completely immersed in the fantasy of inheriting all the property, ignoring that the old man is only seriously injured and not dead.
As outsiders, Ritsu Sasashima and others all showed speechless expressions, this family is really hopeless, and their heads are full of money.
Ritsu Sasashima looked at Xia Jiang and Xiao Wu who were distracted, and it was obvious that they were the only ones who were really worried about the two of them... and Ichiro Shimoto, who has figured out that he wants to apologize to his grandfather.
If the dead had heard them, they would probably have jumped out of the cemetery, cursed a few words, and then lay back.
"Teacher, look over there."
Feeling that his elbow was being carried, Ritsu Sasashima looked in the direction Kudo was looking, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and his gossip heart suddenly burned, and there was a good show.
Mao Lilan was pushing the wheelchair towards this side, and the one sitting in the wheelchair was naturally the awakened Zomoto Haozang, the old man's pale face and angry face were really scary.
No, he obviously heard the speeches of these unfilial children, and he was so angry that he flew into the sky.
"A bunch of unfinished things... Ahem! You want me to give you the group, don't dream... Ahem, ahem! β
