Chapter 219: Unless He's Not Dead
"It looks like the section chief's statue of Guan Gong shouldn't be starved."
Miwako Sato, who was looking along the man's line of sight, tilted her head slightly and teased with a smile.
She had been to the Uehara family, so she naturally knew what kind of treatment the statues of the gods in this man's house were. If there is such a thing as "there is a spirit in the sky" in this world, then the guilt of Katsumi Uehara is probably too much to write.
Let the lazy donkey grind and grind it, you have to hang a carrot from its mouth.
"Generally speaking, immortals don't eat these things, not to mention that our head teacher is obviously the kind of person who can't even do superficial kung fu, and the dust on the idol hasn't been wiped off."
The man who put on the gloves pushed open the incense altar and the offering plate, and as he spoke, he reached out and lifted the gray-stained statue of Guan Gong and put it aside, carefully checking whether there was anything hidden inside the shrine.
It's a pity that after groping for a long time, Katsumi Uehara didn't gain anything other than touching himself to ashes.
"Uehara Police Department, there's a discovery."
Just as he was returning the idol to its place, a police officer's greeting suddenly caught his attention-
"We found a hidden compartment in the wardrobe of the section chief's son's bedroom, which is something placed in the compartment, and judging from the records above, it should be an account book."
"His son's closet?"
Katsumi Uehara raised his eyebrows in surprise, took the account book and opened it, and the lines of records fully explained how much money this old section chief who was about to retire had made over the years with the power in his hands-
Or rather, power for money.
"No, no, this ledger seems to be only for the last five years." The tip of Miwa Sato's nose was only one step away from her partner's ear, but she didn't realize it, and quickly reached out and turned to the record time on the last page of the ledger, and the amount and various assets recorded in this book alone shocked her-
"Huh? Wait a minute, if I'm not mistaken, the actual controller of these companies is also Kenzo Sashiyama?"
After seeing a few more impressive company names on the way back, Miwako frowned: "Isn't the acquaintance between the section chief and Kenzo Kashiyama because of Counselor Uno? Judging from the time recorded above, they corresponded with each other before we found out."
"Blindfolding."
Katsumi Uehara's eyes narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously figured out the answer: "The arrest of Gin and his party was an accident, if it weren't for this accident, we would probably have completely ignored Wada Saburo under the discovery of clues, and instead devoted ourselves to the operation of capturing Counselor Uno. In this way, Saburo Wada naturally does not have to commit suicide by exposing himself."
"That's not right, why did he kill himself? It's all come this far, isn't it good to live? If you live, even if you are caught, there is still hope of escaping."
Chiba and Shin, who followed closely, also flipped through the ledger and didn't understand.
"No, on the contrary, it's best if he's dead."
Hearing this, Katsumi Uehara shook his head: "If he hadn't died, this brewery would have tried all kinds of ways to kill him, even if he was exposed because of the rescue of Gin and others, and even his family might be implicated. He is dying so simply now, most likely voluntarily going to die in exchange for the safety of his family."
"Is this criminal organization you said to be so honest and trustworthy?"
Miwako Sato was obviously skeptical: "If I were a high-level member of this organization, I might have thrown a little bit of a mouse trap if the section chief was still alive, but he is dead, and I will not hinder him at all just in case I can directly kill his family and cut down the roots."
"Okay, where is the section chief's family now?"
"Don't you know? He was taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department by Takagi and interrogated by Chief Inspector Oda Kiri—"
Before the words fell, Miwako Sato's tone froze, and she understood the key in an instant.
Seeing her like this, Katsumi Uehara bit his lip a little unwillingly, and sighed: "The distillery should be sure that Wada Saburo's family doesn't know much about the organization or doesn't know much, so it will make this kind of abandonment of the car to protect the handsome
Decided."
Is Saburo Wada important?
Of course it's important.
Search the head of the first section, even if he is close to retirement, he is still the head of the first section. can be compared with Gin and others, this section chief hiding in the shadows of the Metropolitan Police Department is not so important.
"Saburo Wada knew that the Metropolitan Police Department had been investigating who the ghost was, so he began to arrange for Tadayoshi Uno, the counselor of the Criminal Department, to be his substitute ghost very early.
"For this reason, he contacted Kenzo Kashiyama and played a double reed with him."
After retrieving the ledger from Chiba's hand and turning to the transactions between Saburo Wada and Kenzo Kazayama's actual holding company, Katsumi Uehara kept assembling all the information he had so far:
"First of all, Kenzo Kashiyama first became friends with Tadayoshi Uno, and after gaining trust, Tadayoshi Uno, who has always been willing to match his old subordinates, introduced the soon-to-be-retired Saburo Wada to Kenzo Saburo, who was about to retire, to Kenzo Sashiyama, thus forming the first logical chain that can confirm Tadayoshi Uno's suspicion;
"Secondly, to create further evidence for Uno Tadashi's undercover identity, it is the money transactions that we have painstakingly found;
"In the end, although all of those money transactions have nothing to do with Uno Tadashi himself, it is his wife who is implicated, and husband and wife are natural interest groups that are difficult to cut off.
"At this point, Tadayoshi Uno can't clear his suspicions. Because as the *** in the police world, his ass is really not clean, and if he confesses the facts of his crime, it is very likely that the consortium behind him and the rest of the *** will be involved, and in the end, in order to protect his family, he can only secretly eat this dumb loss.
"Even, I suspect that Saburo Wada has also laid out some conclusive evidence that Tadashi Uno is an inner ghost waiting for our police to discover.
"And the interest group behind Tadayoshi Uno, in order not to expose his own chain of interests, is very likely to allow him to be shot eight times in the body under the guard of the police and identified as a suicide.
"At this point, the suspicion of a ghost in Saburo Wada will be completely eliminated, and Tadayoshi Uno will become his substitute ghost......
Katsumi Uehara, who was slowly turning the gears in his mind, told the speculation he had linked, and he was stunned when he heard Miwako Sato and KazuShin Chiba.
"That's true, but in that case, why did Gin kill that Kenzo Tsuyama? If it's just a frame-up, there's no need to kill you—"
Wait a minute?!
Miwako's voice suddenly paused, and her pupils suddenly contracted: "Unless Kenzo Kashiyama is not dead!"
If Kenzo Hayama's death was just to blame, just for the police to find out to him, Tadashi Uno, the ghost who substituted for the dead, then he didn't need to die at all.
Katsumi Uehara nodded, "That's right, we haven't found Kenzo Kashiyama's body from beginning to end, all we found in his villa was a pile of bones that had been burned to the point that it was difficult to even do an examination.
"We don't have conclusive evidence about Kenzo Sashiyama's death, and there are only two indirect clues: the bones were found in the fireplace in the basement of the Tsubayama villa and the side testimony of vodka."
