The last person to enter the inquiry room was Tokuji Kuno, the elopement partner of Chieko Yasuhara.

The young oboeist had a bright future, but because of Mrs. Yasuhara, no orchestra was willing to ask for him, and he had the same fate as the former director of the Osaka Symphony Orchestra.

When he passed by Chieko Yasuhara, his mood was very low, but his eyes were unusually determined.

Misako Maekawa looked at the last suspect and couldn't help but cheer up her spirits, hoping that this time she could play a little role.

The first few people, it was Shirakawa who kept asking questions, and she kept silent, which had nothing to do with her lack of experience.

Now that she has seen how Shirakawa asked the suspect, Misako Maekawa feels that she should be fine.

So, when Kuno Tokuji sat down, Misako Maekawa was the first to ask,

"Mr. Kuno, may I ask what you were doing when Mrs. Yasuhara died?"

"I'm working backstage to prepare, and we're going to play a new piece in the second half."

Tokuji Kuno replied.

"Can someone testify for you?"

Misako Maekawa asked.

Kuno Tokuji shook his head, "We have a separate lounge, and the repertoire being played just doesn't need an oboe, so I'm resting alone in the background. ”

"When Mrs. Yasuhara died, it was just a break between the first half and the second half, and there was no one to testify to you?"

"We have a separate break room, but someone sees me go in and compare it with the time I came out to know that I didn't have time to commit the crime."

Tokuji Kuno said.

Misako Maekawa asked a few more questions, and Kuno Tokuji answered them all without leaks, as if he had prepared in advance.

Until Shirakawa opened his mouth and stopped Maekawa Misako,

"Don't scare Mr. Kuno, we have actually found the murderer, let Mr. Kuno go back."

"Found the murderer?"

An irrepressible surprise appeared in Kuno's eyes.

Shirakawa nodded, "Yes, just now, Miss Yasuhara admitted that she did it." ”

"What?"

Kuno Tokuji slumped in his seat as if all his strength had been drained.

"We didn't expect the murderer to be Miss Yasuhara, although Miss Yasuhara is pitiful, she has been oppressed by her mother all these years, forcing her to do what she doesn't like to do, but she can't directly kill her own mother, can she? After all, she was brought up by her mother alone, and even if she was far away from her mother, it was better than killing her mother. ”

Shirakawa said matter-of-factly.

Misako Maekawa was stunned by his operation.

When did Ms. Yasuhara admit that she killed her mother? Did I miss something?

"How can this be! How can you be so irresponsible! Chieko didn't kill Mrs. Yasuhara at all! ”

Kuno Tokuji suddenly roared excitedly.

Shirakawa looked at him suspiciously,

"Could it be that there is anyone else besides Miss Yasuhara who has a motive to kill?"

"There are too many people who want Mrs. Yasuhara to die, and she has offended so many people! Everyone wants her dead! ”

Kuno Tokuji said with a resentful look in his eyes.

Shirakawa shook his head, "Since we can't give other clues, Mr. Kuno, you can leave, don't worry, we will judge according to Miss Yasuhara's surrender." ”

When Kuno Tokuji heard that Shirakawa was going to drive people away, he immediately became nervous.

He hesitated for only a minute before speaking,

"It wasn't Chieko who did it, it really wasn't her."

"Who's that?"

Shirakawa looked into his eyes and activated the Intermediate Instigation Technique, "Tell me what you know." ”

"It's... I did it. ”

Kuno Tokuji held his head in his hands and said bitterly,

“… Mrs. Yasuhara not only insulted me, but also insulted my parents, and told the orchestra leader about me, so that the troupe leader would expel me, and the other orchestras would not accept me, she was going to cut off my future, she was going to cut off my future, she was going to cut off my life, this vicious woman, there was no way, I had to let her die, only if she died, I could be freed, Chieko could be freed, and everyone could be freed. ”

"She... Why did she insult you? ”

Misako Maekawa asked hesitantly, "Do you have a handle in her hand?" ”

Kuno Tokuji raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, "She asked a private investigator to investigate me, and she found out about my diploma fraud." ”

"Why did Mrs. Yasuhara do this to you?"

"Because I eloped with Chieko, she felt that I was deliberately close to Chieko, and I didn't really like Chieko, I admit that at the beginning, I was Tuchikeiko's fame, and she was beautiful, so I approached her, hoping to be like her, to become a bright star, but later, I was really in love with Chieko, and I was willing to give up everything for her, even if she had nothing, I would be with her."

Kuno Tokuji lowered his head again and said with a cry, "It's all because of that woman, if it weren't for her perverted desire to control, Chieko and I would be happily together, we don't need to elope to be together, I can have Chieko, and I can have fame and wealth at the same time." ”

"But now that everything is gone, I can't face Chieko anymore, I killed her mother with my own hands, Chieko will definitely hate me."

Kuno Tokuji banged his head, as if trying to solve the problem by self-harm.

"Calm down."

Misako Maekawa stepped forward to stop him, so he didn't continue to harm himself.

Shirakawa coughed twice and continued to ask,

"Mr. Kuno, how did you kill Mrs. Yasuhara?"

"I begged the head of the troupe to let me participate in the last performance, and the head of the troupe saw that I was pitiful, so he agreed, I learned in advance of Mrs. Yasuhara's seat, just a moment before the fireworks show, lurked behind the box, and when the fireworks went off, everyone's attention was attracted, I walked in disguised as a waiter, and killed her directly with a gun hidden under the fruit plate."

"Didn't Mrs. Konomiya next to her notice you?"

"The woman was just watching the fireworks, and I had a silencer on the pistol, and it was very quiet."

"Where's the gun?"

"Tucked away in the lounge backstage......"

After Kuno Tokuji answered all the questions, the head of the Yokoo section in the observation room clapped his hands and praised, "It's worthy of Brother Kuraki, and the case was solved in less than 2 hours!" This is simply a new record for our Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters to solve crimes. ”

"yes, that's amazing."

The Yamamoto Police Department also said, and at the same time, he was more confident that he could solve the case of Alice Mutual Aid.

In fact, the evidence now is enough to convict the vice president of the Alice Mutual Aid Association and others, but the most critical Sakakihara Teko has no flaws and can't catch her at all.

Now we have to wait for the Italian side to reply.

After Tokuji Kuno left the inquiry room, Misako Maekawa looked at Shirakawa with a look of adoration.

[Misako Maekawa's happiness +5]

[Misako Maekawa's current happiness is 82 (the man who wants to be taught)]

"Kuraki-kun, you are really amazing, you solved the case so quickly, how do you know that he will admit that he killed himself because Chieko Yasuhara turned herself in?"

"Intuitively, the eyes of a person who loves him will not lie, and when he looks at Chieko Yasuhara, his eyes are full of love and guilt."

Shirakawa said with a frown, recalling the scene where Chieko Yasuhara and Tokuji Kuno appeared at the same time.

"It's just... Chieko Yasuhara looked at him, but she always felt a little less love. ”

"Could it be that this is because he knows that he is approaching him with a purpose?"

Misako Maekawa asked.

Shirakawa shook his head, "If that's the case, why did you elope with Kuno Tokuji?" It doesn't make sense. ”

"Then why, could it be that Miss Yasuhara used to like Tokuji Kuno, and now she is empathetic? Or because of excessive sadness, I don't have this kind of mind at all. ”

Misako Maekawa said with a small pout.

Bai Chuan rubbed his eyebrows, "If you empathize and don't fall in love, the speed is inevitably too fast." ”

The two left the inquiry room, and Section Chief Yokoo immediately invited them into his office, poured coffee for them, and graciously handed them over.

"Brother Kuraki, it's so exciting, watching you interrogate the suspects, it feels like you're going through the process, and their secrets are hidden in front of you."

Chief Yokoo gave a thumbs up, feeling that he would soon be praised by Goro Hayasaka in person.

"I've already asked people to go to the concert hall lounge to find the murder weapon, and if they find it, they can be directly convicted, which is really the easiest case ever."

Section Chief Yokoo is now very envious of Section Chief Matsuyama, with such a capable consultant, how much money Tokyo will pay, I, Osaka, am willing to pay double, and I will also poach people.

"No, it's not over yet, I think Kuno Tokuji is being used."

Shirakawa picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said seriously.

"Utilization?"

Section Chief Yokoo looked at Shirakawa in surprise.

Shirakawa bowed slightly, "Yes, from the beginning, it was used, may I ask if Mr. Kyoji Akita left?" ”

"Ah, he looks like he just left."

Section Chief Yokoo said.

"Mrs. Komiya and Konomiya do have gun licenses, I asked them to take them to do the gunsmoke reaction, they have not touched a gun recently, or today, plus the results of your inquiry here, it also proved that they are innocent, so they were released directly, Kyoji Akita, as Mrs. Komiya's husband, must have gone with him."

The Yamamoto Police Department added.

"Chase it back."

Shirakawa said solemnly, "He is also suspicious. ”

"Quick, chase back."

Chief Yokoo fully trusted Shirakawa's judgment and said directly to the Yamamoto Police Department.

The Yamamoto Police Department immediately turned around and left the office to chase Kyoji Akita.

"Why? Isn't Mr. Akita Mrs. Komiya's husband? And he has not been at the scene, where did he get the suspicion? ”

Misako Maekawa asked very puzzled, she felt that following Shirakawa's side, she would have the illusion that her brain was not enough.

But at the same time, you can also experience the thrill of your heartbeat.

Shirakawa sat on the sofa and shook the coffee cup in his hand,

"Yes, Kyoji Akita is indeed not present and will not use a gun, but who said that killing people must be done by themselves?"
