79 The Ethics of the Family
"May I ask who you are?"
In the venue, Officer Twilight looked at Shiho Miyano who suddenly broke in, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Shiho Miyano, a passing detective."
With his hands in his pockets, under the gaze of everyone, Shiho Miyano looked at Seki Zhe, with a hint of curvature at the corners of his mouth, and began her reasoning.
"Mr. Shiki, Ms. Shimizu will never be the murderer of President Owada, because she has a clear alibi in the time before and after President Owada's murder."
"Y-What did you say?"
"At about four o'clock this afternoon, Ms. Shimizu went to visit an artist in a neighboring town......
"Artist, is it?!"
When Kenta heard Miyano Shiho's words, he suddenly remembered the agreement his father made with him this afternoon.
It is said that a famous artist made an important comment on his pile of composite puppet sculptures.
For this reason, President Owada also called him and told him to go to the banquet hall at five o'clock this afternoon.
Could it be that the artist he was talking about......
"That's right, Young Master Kenta, the artist that Ms. Shimizu visited is the one that President Owada mentioned to you."
Affirming Kenta's guess, Shiho Miyano suddenly changed his words.
"But it's not just a visit, it's a bribe."
"Bribery? Could it be that Daddy is for me......"
"You may be mistaken, Master Kenta."
Looking at this young master Kenta with a little sympathy, Shiho Miyano slowly spoke, and said quietly:
"President Owada's bribe is not to get the artist to praise your work.
On the contrary, what he really wants is the artist's disparagement and denigration of Ling's work......"
"Slander, slander?"
"That's right, President Owada, he didn't want you, the only child, to embark on the path of art from the beginning, and that has never changed.
The reason why he put your work in such a prominent place in the banquet hall for all to see, is why he bribed the artist to belittle you.
It is to give you the most fatal blow when you are the happiest and most proud, so that you can completely lose confidence in the pursuit of art, and be able to willingly return to Ed's company and inherit the family business he left to you. ”
"W-This can't be, right? Daddy, daddy, he's ......"
This is not the first time Kenta has been hit tonight, he turned his head and looked at Chie Shimizu who was standing behind Shiho Miyano, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.
And Shimizu Chie avoided his gaze.
Shiho Miyano looked at him like this, and just sighed softly.
Little master, the cruel truth is still to come......
In order to ensure that the matter of his bribery was not leaked, President Owada even specially asked Ms. Shimizu, who was closest to him, to go to a neighboring town in person.
There, Ms. Shimizu successfully obtained the demeaning evaluation that President Owada wanted, and faxed it back to the fax machine in the president's office.
However, because Ms. Shimizu was using the fax machine for the first time, the wrong operation led to the fax being transmitted only on a blank piece of paper, and there was actually nothing on it.
Officer Sato, you must have found a similar blank piece of paper without any words on the suicide note on the fax machine, right? ”
Shiho Miyano looked at Kuroba Kaito on the side.
"Ah, there is one." Black Feather Kaito nodded.
At that time, this blank piece of paper was covered on top of the suicide note, and if he hadn't deliberately picked it up and looked at it, he wouldn't even notice the suicide note below.
"It turns out that the blank piece of paper is actually Ms. Shimizu's fax?" Karasuma Ying was a little surprised.
On the fax machine, she did notice the fax record of the blank paper, but at that time, her attention was attracted by the suicide note, and she subconsciously ignored it.
After sending this fax, Ms. Shimizu did not immediately return from the neighboring town, but called the young master Kenta several times in a row from the public telephone on the side of the road.
Her original intention was to ask Master Kenta out and inform him of President Owada's bribery of the artist.
But unfortunately, Young Master Kenta should have been busy decorating the venue of the party at the time, so he didn't receive these calls. ”
When Kenta heard this, he suddenly had a glimmer of light in his eyes when he looked at Shimizu Chie.
But soon, the glimmer of light in his eyes was snuffed out by Shimizu Chie.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Kenta, the reason why I want to tell you about this is actually to provoke a bigger conflict between you and the master."
"W-What?"
"Young Master Kenta, you like Sandong, right?" Chie Shimizu asked very directly.
When she asked, not only did Kenta be stupid, but even Mrs. Sandong, who had been silent next to her, was stunned for a moment, which was a little incredible.
"Aunt Shimizu, you, what are you kidding?"
Glancing cautiously at Mrs. Sandong, Kenta said in a bit of a panic: "San, Sandong is her father's wife, how can I, how could I like her......"
"Kenta......"
Looking at his reaction, Owada Sandong, who came over, why didn't he understand?
"yes......"
Shimizu Chie didn't force him anymore, just closed her eyes and said to herself:
"My purpose in doing this is simple, Yamada Ichiro, I love him, but I also hate this greedy man.
I have always known that Master Kenta, you have special feelings for this woman, Sandong, so when I knew that this man was going to bribe the artist to slander and belittle you, I suddenly had an idea.
Doesn't he want everything? I'm going to tell you about this, I'm going to make you hate him, so that your father-son relationship is irreparable, it's best if you can snatch this woman away from him, I want to see your father and son turn against each other, I want to see your family ruined...... Hahahaha! ”
"Please be quiet, Ms. Shimizu."
"Hmm......"
Shiho Miyano glanced at her, and Chie Shimizu immediately quieted down, as if she was afraid of her.
And Kenta on the side, under this repeated blow, the whole person fell to the ground, he didn't say anything, it seemed that he had really lost his soul.
Looking at his appearance, everyone in the venue couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness for him.
"Okay, that's all for Ms. Shimizu's private affairs with the Owada family.
As for what Ms. Shimizu just said, it only needs the police to investigate the traffic records of the neighboring town later to confirm that she does have an absolute alibi and cannot be the murderer. ”
With his hands in his pockets, Shiho Miyano turned to look sideways at Shiki Zhe and asked:
"Mr. Shiqi, do you have anything else to say?"
"I, I ......"
"Shirt."
On the ground, Kenta suddenly raised his head, looked at the panicked Shirt Qizhe blankly, and asked Youyou, "Why did you kill Dad?" ”
"Young Master Kenta......"
Looking at Kenta's eyes that seemed to be dead, Seok Qizhe finally couldn't hold on and broke down and told the final truth.
"I don't want to do that! It was the old man who called me to the president's office yesterday and said that there was a huge amount of corruption in the company's accounts!
Sir, sir, he suspects that I did it! But I don't have any! No matter how I explained it, he didn't listen, and he said that he would quit me after today's party!
Master Kenta, you know, my wife has been sick and hospitalized, and I can't afford to lose this job...... I'm sorry, Master Kenta, I'm sorry ......"
