Chapter 68: The culprit behind the scenes is someone else
"Several officers were slacking off."
Yuto Uchida speaks Sakura Chinese.
His hair was small but meticulously combed, and as he spoke, he took out an old-fashioned pocket watch from the pocket of the suit he was wearing and looked at the time.
These wealthy people's control of time is often measured in minutes and seconds, which is understandable.
But there are really not many people who still use these old-fashioned pocket watches.
Bai Zhengqing noticed this and immediately made a basic judgment about Yuto Uchida.
A series of key words such as traditional, conservative, and delicate came out of his mind.
Eiko Miyagawa bowed deeply to Yuto Uchida, and said politely: "President Uchida is polite, I took the liberty to visit, I hope it will not disturb you." ”
She also speaks Sakura Chinese.
Wu Na and Bai Zhengqing glanced at each other, and bowed as the locals followed.
Although they couldn't understand the conversation between the two, they generally knew that they should be greeting each other at this time.
In addition, they are not as deep as Eiko Miyagawa's, but they are just symbolic.
Who knew that such a small difference was seen by Yuto Uchida.
He translated into Chinese and said, "Aren't the two of you from the Sakura country? ”
Bai Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "We are from the Xia Kingdom. ”
"It's really young and promising." Yuto Uchida said with emotion.
He has such feelings, probably because he thinks of his own situation.
Several people then sat down.
Miyagawa Eiko looked at Bai Zhengqing and signaled that he would be responsible for asking questions, and Bai Zhengqing also had this intention.
"Mr. Uchida, I wonder if you have paid attention to a recent theft at the head office of Uchida Bank?"
Yuto Uchida nodded and said, "Well, I have a concern, it is said that a piece of meteorite iron that was stolen is priceless. ”
Seeing him so frank, Bai Zhengqing was not polite: "I don't know if you can ask the bank to cooperate with our police and inform us of the identity of the depositor of the meteorite?" ”
Yuto Uchida thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute. ”
Then he got up and went to his desk, picked up the phone on the desk and dialed it.
"Shoko, help me get through to Nagano-kun's call."
Nagano is the surname of the head office of Bank Uchida.
Bai Zhengqing and the three of them all understood that Uchida Yuto was going to ask about the specific situation.
This also shows that although he knows about this case, he is not too concerned, otherwise he would not have called to ask the identity of the depositor now.
After a moment of silence, I heard him continue: "Nagano-kun, I would like to ask who stored that stolen meteorite in the bank?" ”
"Okay, okay, I got it."
With that, he hung up the phone and went back to the hospitality area.
Yuto Uchida looked at Bai Zhengqing and said with a smile: "Originally, it was the bank's rule to keep customers confidential, but since it is convenient for the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate the case, then I have nothing to hide." Just now I inquired, the person who deposited the meteorite is an old man named Ota Ota Ota who does what he does specifically, and it is impossible for our bank to check the identity of the customer, which is contrary to the bank's guidelines. ”
Bai Zhengqing nodded and said with a smile: "I'm already very grateful to President Uchida." ”
Yuto Uchida waved his hand, not paying attention.
He took out his pocket watch and looked at it again, obviously thinking that the matter was finished and ready to be driven away.
But Bai Zhengqing pretended not to see it, and continued to ask: "President, there is one more thing I want to consult with you. ”
Although Yuto Uchida was a little unhappy in his heart, he still said gentlemanly: "Little police officer, excuse me." ”
With the word "small" in front of the title, Yuto Uchida has already expressed his unhappiness.
Eiko Miyagawa naturally understood.
She glanced at Bai Zhengqing worriedly, wanting to persuade him to stop, but she hesitated.
Just when she hesitated, Bai Zhengqing had already asked questions regardless of it.
"Institute of Physics and Chemistry, do you know?"
Yuto Uchida frowned, glanced at him suspiciously, and finally nodded: "Of course I know, this is a research institute under our umbrella, mainly for the service of the military department, it shouldn't have much to do with the Metropolitan Police Department, right?" ”
This is also the reason why Yuto Uchida is willing to answer this question.
He also wanted to understand why Bai Zhengqing asked about the Institute of Physics and Chemistry.
At the same time, he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
At this time, Miyagawa Eiko signaled Bai Zhengqing with her eyes not to reveal the matter of the Institute of Physics and Chemistry, but Bai Zhengqing disagreed, he said with a straight face: "Not long ago, when our colleagues went to your bank to investigate the case, they were threatened with self-explosion, and the criminal used a new type of bomb just produced by the Institute of Physics and Chemistry this year. ”
Well?
Uchida's pupils shrank, and his brows furrowed into Sichuan characters.
He suddenly smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Yuto Uchida said with a solemn face: "Officer, I don't know about this matter, may I have anything to help?" ”
What Bai Zhengqing wants is what he said.
"We want to know exactly where those new bombs developed by the institute are going? We want to check which ones have already been used. ”
Yuto Uchida nodded and said, "I know, don't worry, I'll give you news within three days." ”
"Then thank you, President Uchida." Bai Zhengqing got up and stretched out his hand to shake Yuto Uchida.
This was the way he was used to greeting.
The kind of behavior of bowing 90 degrees at every turn, he really can't get used to it.
When she came out of the Uchida Building, Eiko Miyagawa finally couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid that the old man did it?" If he is prepared to reveal the details of the case in this way, it will be difficult for us to investigate later. ”
Her concerns were justified.
If Uchida Yuto was the culprit, he could have destroyed all those bombs or created some stolen fake documents, so that they would not be able to lock down the guilt of the Institute of Physical and Chemical.
Bai Zhengqing shook his head with a smile and said, "No, Yuto Uchida is not the culprit behind the scenes." ”
"Huh? What is the basis for your judgment? Eiko Miyagawa asked with a frown.
Bai Zhengqing explained: "From the first time we met, I was paying attention to his every move. First of all, as soon as he opened his mouth to speak Sakura Chinese, it means that he didn't know that I and the captain were not from Sakura Country at first, which can roughly rule out his suspicion. Think about it, since the culprit behind the scenes was able to create a self-explosion case in a timely manner, which shows that he is very concerned about our every move, then how can he not know the identity of me and the captain of the Xia Kingdom? ”
Eiko Miyagawa thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense, but she still raised a possibility.
"What if he's pretending? He did this on purpose to clear his suspicions? ”
Bai Zhengqing said with a smile: "He saw our identity from the different angles of our bows and broke it, do you think it's better not to break it if you want to pretend?" At least that would make him look stupid, and we wouldn't suspect him. ”
At this time, Eiko Miyagawa finally had nothing to say.
But Bai Zhengqing himself knows that this statement is still far-fetched.
And he judged that the other party was not the culprit behind the scenes, and he didn't just rely on these two points.
"He went to ask for information about the meteorite depositor, and it showed that he wasn't too concerned about the theft, which is completely contrary to the culprit sending someone to threaten us."
When it comes to the Institute of Physics and Chemistry, he took the initiative to expose that the Institute is serving the military department, which shows that he is very open-minded and does not shy away from the fact that the Institute is developing a new type of bomb, and even he does not know that the occurrence of this self-explosion is related to the new bomb of the Institute. This is enough to show that he was not the instigator of this self-explosion case. ”
Then Bai Zhengqing listed a few more points, which can be regarded as completely convincing Miyagawa Eiko.
As for Wu Na, she never doubted Bai Zhengqing's judgment, this is the tacit understanding between partners.
