115 The Fifth Suspect (10,000 words updated for subscription)
When Ryuji Sugizaki was in a relationship with the deceased Yuki Ezaki, he actually had an improper relationship with makeup artist Yukihan Hirata, and his fiancée Uchimura Yumi never knew, so it can be said that this is a master of time management.
Until Hirata Yukihan was jealous of the more intimate relationship between the deceased and the boss, and reported the relationship between the two to the boss's fiancée.
Ryuji Sugizaki had to propose to break up with the deceased because the company was actually the property of his fiancée's father, and if he left his fiancée, he would have nothing.
When he proposed to break up with the deceased Ezaki Yuki, Ezaki Yuki, who had always been cowardly and did not dare to speak even if he was bullied, went against the norm and threatened Sugizaki Ryuji, saying that he was already pregnant with his child, and if he was unwilling to marry him, he would be ruined.
Although the pregnancy is fake, it still angers Ryuji Sugisaki, a man who usually seems to be gentle and affectionate, but is actually quite selfish.
Therefore, Ryuji Sugizaki has a motive to kill.
Ichiro Sekiguchi found the deceased Yuki Ezaki 2 months ago and took the initiative to apply for a job at Kinoshita Cat Deceased Care Company.
At that time, Sugizaki Ryuji was still dating Ezaki Yuki, in order to show off, Sugizaki Ryuji directly showed Sekiguchi Ichiro the deceased and his indecent video, and told Sekiguchi Ichiro that Ezaki Yuki was once famous in the custom street, as long as he was willing to spend money, it was not impossible to sleep.
Ichiro Sekiguchi kept this secret in his heart and tried to confess to Yuki Ezaki again that as long as she was willing to be with him, he could abandon everything he had in the past, but unfortunately he was rejected again.
Sekiguchi Ichiro was so angry that he burned all the treasured photographs of the deceased and had the idea of making the deceased pay.
Therefore, Ichiro Sekiguchi also has a motive to kill.
Hirata Yuki, has always been jealous of Ezaki Yuki, even after having a relationship with Sugizaki Ryuji, Sugizaki Ryuji was compared to Ezaki Yuki, thinking that she is inferior to Ezaki Yuki in all aspects, which greatly stabbed her self-esteem and caused her to tell the boss's fiancée about the boss, but this still did not eliminate the jealousy in her heart.
Especially after seeing Ichiro Sekiguchi, who had been chasing from her hometown to Tokyo, she was even more jealous of Yuki Ezaki, and even began to deliberately imitate Yuki Ezaki in dressing, hoping to replace her.
Therefore, Hirata Yukihan also has a motive to kill.
Ishibashi Katsuhisa always harassed Ezaki Yuki, and after being warned by his boss many times, his behavior was somewhat restrained, but once by chance, he accidentally saw Sugizaki Ryuji and Ezaki Yuki playing poker in the office, which once again aroused the evil thoughts in his heart, he took a video and threatened Ezaki Yuki, let her comply, but unfortunately she was still refused.
Yuki Ezaki doesn't care at all about the video of himself and Ryuji Sugizaki going out, and even hopes so.
As a result, Katsuhisa Ishibashi found many people who often called and harassed Yuki Ezaki, and sometimes sent her explicit text messages.
Yuki Ezaki was chatting with a colleague during dinner, took out the explicit text messages he sent, and said how he could possibly fall in love with a man in his thirties who still had nothing?
Listening to the ridicule of his colleagues, Katsuhisa Ishibashi was completely enraged, and he made a threatening phone call to Yuki Esaki that night.
Therefore, Katsuhisa Ishibashi also has a motive to kill.
All four of them have a motive to kill, and they only need to be carefully interrogated, and even the police can get the same results as the identification technique.
However, these four people do not look like psychopathic killers who will commit serial crimes, they have neither a criminal record nor a follow-up target, and if it is a simple homicide, they will be very suspicious.
But if this is just the beginning, and there will be victims in the future, then the probability that they are the murderers is very small.
That is, there is a fifth suspect!
Who will be the fifth suspect?
Because of the 6 consecutive use of the identification technique, Shirakawa's mental power could not be concentrated, causing some confusion in his thoughts.
"Is there coffee?"
Shirakawa asked suddenly.
Shuri Mori looked at his boss, Ryuji Sugizaki, "Is there coffee?" ”
"Yes, yes, wait a minute."
Ryuji Sugizaki quickly brought a ceramic tray with three cups of coffee, one for Shuichi Mori, one for Shirakawa, and one for Mie Takeshima.
Shirakawa and Mie Takeshima were his clients, and he was supposed to take care of them.
"I'm sorry, but it looks like your funeral has to be postponed."
He said apologetically.
Mie Takeshima shook her head, "Finding out the cause of Miss Ezaki's death is the most important thing. ”
Shirakawa drank the coffee in one gulp, and his mental strength was restored in a moment.
"What about the deceased's cell phone?"
Shirakawa asked suddenly.
"We searched the scene, but we couldn't find Miss Ezaki's mobile phone."
The young officer replied.
"Is this not the scene of the first crime, the phone is still left at the scene of the first crime, or the phone was dropped on the road when the victim was transferred?"
Mori Shuichi reasoned.
Shirakawa shook his head,
"According to their description, the victim was in the company all day yesterday, and the Kinoshita Cat Deceased Care Company should be the first scene of the crime."
"The victim's mobile phone, was taken away by the murderer?"
Mori Shu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked the technician to locate the phone location of the deceased Yuki Ezaki.
Although the mobile phone has been turned off, the latitude and longitude can still be found through the positioning of the base station.
But it's a pity that the location is actually in the Kinoshita Cat Dead Care Company.
In the end, the police found the damaged mobile phone in the company's women's toilet.
"What does the 24 on the head of the deceased mean?"
Mori looked at Shirakawa in confusion.
"It means that if the case is not solved within 24 hours, there will be the next victim."
Shirakawa said directly.
Mori Shuichi's face became more serious, and he subconsciously wanted to seek Shirakawa's opinion,
"Kuraki-kun, do you have any ideas now?"
"In fact, the idea is the same as that of a Maori police officer, first screening the individuals who had friction with the deceased, and then according to the time of death, asking their alibi to determine whether they had the time to commit the crime."
Shirakawa held the coffee cup and said calmly.
"For now, the target of my suspicion is a few telephone visitors who regularly harassed the deceased. ”
"No, there's nothing wrong with them, they were just hired to harass the deceased, Miss Araki Ezaki, and the problem should be the person who hired them, Mr. Katsuhisa Ishibashi."
Shirakawa's gaze looked at the raunchy middle-aged man Katsuhisa Ishibashi, "Mr. Katsuhisa Ishibashi, right?" ”
Katsuhisa Ishibashi immediately nervously denied, "What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't have it at all, not me, I didn't kill Yuki Ezaki! ”
"It turns out that those harassing calls were all made by you, so you are really suspicious."
Hirata Yukihan, who was smoking a lady's cigarette, said, "Because she has been rejecting you, it is very possible to be angry and kill her." ”
"Yes, I've also seen you take advantage of Ji Chan."
The older aunt also recalled.
"It's you, it's you who killed Yuki-chan, you demon!"
Ichiro Sekiguchi hugged his head and said with a cry.
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Katsuhisa Ishibashi's head, and he rudely pointed at makeup artist Hirata Yukihan and said:
"I didn't, you guys talking nonsense! If you want to talk about suspicion, your suspicion is even greater, you have always been jealous that Yuki Ezaki is more popular than you, and even more jealous of the relationship between Yuki Ezaki and the boss. And you, Ichiro Sekiguchi, don't pretend to be innocent, you obviously said it yourself and want Ezaki Yuki to pay the price. ”
"That's enough."
Sugisaki Ryuji, the owner of the suave Kinoshita Cat Dead Care Company, suddenly spoke, interrupting the irascible Katsuhisa Ishibashi.
If he continues, his own business will be revealed.
Mori Shuichi frowned and looked at everyone present seriously,
"Please cooperate with the police investigation and repeat everything you know, as well as what you are doing and who you are with from 2 to 3 o'clock in the morning today."
Mie Takeshima's eyes were full of surprise, she really couldn't imagine that the seemingly harmonious Kinoshita Cat Dead Care's company could hide so many complicated interpersonal relationships.
Miss Yuki Ezaki obviously looks gentle and kind, and works hard, how can so many people want her to die?
Mie Takeshima nervously shook Shirakawa's hand.
The warmth of Shirakawa's palms made her feel the strength.
Shuichi Mori re-questioned several people, and got unexpected results.
Ichiro Sekiguchi, Yukihan Hirata, Katsuhisa Ishibashi, and Ryuji Sugizaki did not have an alibi.
Ryuji Sugizaki said that he slept in his bedroom in the early hours of the morning, and because he slept alone, no one could prove it.
Hirata Xuehan was seen quietly going back to the company at 10 o'clock, she said that it was because the lipstick fell in the company, and she came back to pick up the lipstick, and after taking it away, it was half past 10 o'clock in the evening, and she returned to the apartment to rest, and there was still no witness.
Ichiro Sekiguchi said he was playing games alone in his apartment and had no witnesses.
Katsuhisa Ishibashi said that he drank too much and slept at home, but it happened that his parents went on a trip that day and did not come back, and he was the only one left at night, and there were still no witnesses.
Shuichi Mori received a rough grudge from the inquiry about the deceased, and his expression was serious and his brows were furrowed.
"I now suspect that the murderer is among you, and I don't rule out the possibility that you will cooperate in the case, please follow me back to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation."
"Officer, I'm really innocent."
"I would never do anything to hurt Yuki-chan."
"yes, I wouldn't do such a thing anyway."
"Officer, it must be him, he killed Miss Araki."
The four suspects are already blaming each other, believing that the other is the murderer and that he is innocent.
Shuichi Mori ignores their dog-eat-dog behavior and prepares to take them all back to investigate.
"Kuraki-kun, do you want to go back with us?"
Shuichi Mori asked.
Bai Chuan shook his head, "The murderer should be someone else." ”
"Why?"
Shuichi Mori asked, confused.
"Since the murderer gave a clue that he would commit the crime within 24 hours, it proves that he is a psychopathic serial killer, then the suspicion of the four people is ruled out, because they all have specific personal grudges with Miss Ezaki Yuki, and they can easily become scapegoats for the murderer."
And I don't feel the smell of psychopaths in them.
Shirakawa added inwardly.
"The suspicion of the four of them has been ruled out, so who is the real suspect?"
Mori Xiu asked puzzled.
After calmly thinking about it, Shirakawa got a clue from the identification results, and he said uncertainly,
"Maybe it's the boyfriend of the deceased Miss Araki Ezaki."
"What? Does Miss Yuki Ezaki have a boyfriend? ”
"When?"
"It's unlikely, isn't Boss Sugizaki still dating her in private?"
"Miss Ariki doesn't look like a person who can hide secrets, if she had a boyfriend, she would have made it public a long time ago, right?"
Even the four suspects did not know anything about the deceased and a hidden boyfriend, and other colleagues even started talking about it.
Shuichi Mori also waited for Shirakawa to give an explanation.
Shirakawa looked at Ryuji Sugisaki,
"Probably because the relationship with Ryuji Sugizaki has not been completely broken, so Miss Ariki concealed her online dating..."
