Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 362 Double Crime
In the Kabagi Media Office, in addition to Megure and others, relevant personnel including the president of Kabagi also walked into the office one after another.

"What's the matter? Why did you call us all here?" President Kamigi sat down with his arms crossed reluctantly, "Let's just say, the [-] million ransom was thrown into the river by yourself, and it has nothing to do with me... "

Hayami Lingxiang said angrily: "I borrowed the ransom from Kido Detective, but after this time, I will terminate the relationship with Dygi Media!"

"Lingxiang, I'm doing it for your own good too," President Kamigi said with a bitter expression on his face, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, "Now you're safe and well..."

"I was saved by Detective Kido!" Rei Hayamizu looked at the pretentious president, she didn't want to stay any longer, she could only look at Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng asked Police Officer Mumu to pass the relevant evidence, nodded and walked in front of everyone: "I brought everyone here this time, just to investigate the truth of the kidnapping...because the murderer's purpose is not for money, but for money. To use this kidnapping to kill Yasuoka-san."

"Kill, kill my husband?" Yasuoka Manami bit her lip, "Why did the murderer do such a thing?"

"That's why I want to talk to everyone," Gao Cheng glanced around the crowd, "Because the murderer of this incident, the clown puppet, is among you!"

"what?!"

President Kabagi looked at Gao Cheng in astonishment, with sweat streaming down his forehead, and looked back and forth at the people next to him.

"The puppet is inside us?"

"The murderer... Who is the murderer?" Manami Yasuoka asked eagerly.

Gao Cheng raised his arm and pointed at Manami Yasuoka under the nervous gaze of everyone: "Stop pretending, Miss Manami."

"Eh?" Yasuoka Manami took a step back with a dry smile, facing everyone's eyes and sweating, "Don't, stop joking, Detective Kido, how could I be the murderer? My husband is the victim!!"

"Let me start from the beginning," Gao Cheng directly interrupted Manami Yasuoka, and said in a deep voice, "There are actually two incidents this time, one is the initial kidnapping incident, and the other is the murder of Mr. Yasuoka. About the kidnapping incident , In fact, there is another prisoner!"

"Another prisoner?"

"He was the manager Honoyuki Yasuka who was kidnapped together with Lingxiang and then killed by puppets."

Gao Cheng took out the photo in the original threatening letter.

"In other words, Mr. Yasuoka was actually an accomplice in the beginning, and designed a fake kidnapping scene with the puppets..."

"Fake kidnapping?" President Kabagi stood up from the sofa, "Why did Hoyuki do such a thing?"

"His purpose should be to prevent Miss Lingxiang from becoming your adopted daughter." Gao Cheng glanced at President Dygi, "He is your only relative. I thought that sooner or later the property of Dygi Media and the position of president would belong to me." Yes, but recently you have to adopt Miss Lingxiang...

"In order to prevent this, he chose this fake kidnapping. First he pretended to be kidnapped together with Miss Lingxiang, and then extorted a sky-high ransom of [-] million yen. He knew that President Kasaki would not easily take out [-] million yen. , He may also have thought that you would use counterfeit banknotes... His original plan was to accept the counterfeit banknotes, let Miss Lingxiang know that you are a cruel miser, and then voluntarily refuse to become an adopted daughter."

Mu Mu was surprised and said: "Then the one who contacted you to pay the ransom..."

"Maybe it's Yasuoka himself," Gao Cheng nodded lightly, "Because I helped prepare [-] million yen, if the transaction goes well, the plan is likely to fail, so Yasuoka changed the plan and deliberately made things difficult for me. I don't want the transaction to go smoothly. ...

"Things went smoothly. President Kamigi not only prepared counterfeit banknotes, but also reported to the police regardless of the safety of the hostages. It was no surprise that Miss Lingxiang would no longer be an adopted daughter, but at this time something unexpected happened..."

Gao Cheng said and looked at Manami Yasuoka with a stiff face: "He didn't expect that the accomplice would use this fake kidnapping to kill him, pretending that he was killed because the transaction failed. This is the double plan formulated by the puppet. Kill Angang."

Yasuoka Manami's face moved, she bit her lower lip and said angrily: "Can this mean that I am a murderer? Why did I kill my husband?!"

"Miss Manami," Gao Cheng asked, "I heard that your husband has been cheating, but you have always turned a blind eye..."

"So what?" Yasuoka Marina said angrily, "I married Hoyuki at a low point in my life, so I have always loved him! Besides, I have never been to Lake Kawaguchi, how could I kill Hoyuki?"

"That's right, Detective Kido," Reika Hayami asked confused, "Didn't everyone wait for the news together at noon on the 17th when Mr. Yasuoka was killed in the villa?"

"That is to say, it takes three hours to take the expressway from here to Lake Kawaguchi. How can we people kill Yasuoka?"

President Dygi and the others looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously.

"Lingxiang saw An Gang being shot dead with her own eyes at that time. Could it be that the murderer still teleported?"

"You probably didn't know that at the hospital at that time. Everyone was waiting for the news together at noon. At most, it would take a few minutes to go to the toilet. It was impossible to go to Lake Kawaguchi to kill people at noon..."

"What if the killing time is not at noon on the 17th, but at noon on the 18th?" Gao Cheng suddenly interrupted the discussion.

"18th?" Hayami Reika's eyes widened.

"Isn't it strange that the prisoner didn't notify the news until after 18 pm on the 3th the next day?"

Gao Cheng met everyone's gaze and took out a timetable.

"This is a timetable based on the testimony of Ms. Lingxiang. I was discovered by the clown when I was trying to escape on the evening of the 16th. I woke up on the 17th the next day. Yasuo was killed at 12:18 noon, and then the clown after 3:[-] pm on the [-]th. called us..."

"Is there any problem?" Yasuoka Manami gritted her teeth.

"On the 17th, everyone's alibi was perfect... This is the purpose of the prisoner, but," Gao Cheng quietly looked at Manami Yasuoka, "what if Miss Reika's testimony was designed by the prisoner from the beginning? "

"What does it mean?!"

"Assuming that Miss Lingxiang was knocked unconscious on the evening of the 16th and woke up the next day, if there is still a day in between... Yes, Miss Lingxiang did not wake up on the 17th when the ransom was traded, but on the 18th after that day, Everything can be explained!"

"How, how is it possible?!"

"I'm afraid the prisoner let Miss Lingxiang who passed out smell some medicine, and then confused Miss Lingxiang's memory with her accomplice Yasuoka," Gao Cheng looked at the dazed Hayami Reika, "It was supposed to deal with the aftermath of the kidnapping case, but Yasuoka It didn't occur to him that his accomplice was planning to take advantage of this to kill him."

"But..." Reika Hayami still felt incredible
"The reason why the murderer fired all the bullets was to let you go, Miss Lingxiang, deliberately pretending that Miss Lingxiang walked unconsciously in the mountains for a day and threw it on the side of the road, and then came back here and called to reveal clues about Kawaguchiko Villa. Let the police find you on the road..."

Gao Cheng reasoned in a deep voice: "All of this is for Miss Lingxiang to give a testimony like 'An Gang was killed at noon on the 17th'. No!"

Mu Mu suddenly realized, opened his mouth wide and said, "Because it's just a superficial disguise, so the pair of sandals that are not very strong are all right?! So..."

"That's right, Miss Lingxiang's situation at that time, I'm afraid I didn't know what was going on. After waking up, she provided a testimony according to the prisoner's plan, thus creating a perfect alibi for the prisoner. , the magic of time and space!" Gao Cheng looked at Manami Yasuoka who was trembling slightly, "Throwing Mr. Yasuoka's body into the lake is also to hide the real time of death..."

"But," the secretary Hidecheng Obuchizawa interrupted, "the lack of scratches on the shoes can indeed mean that Lingxiang didn't go around in the forest, but it doesn't prove that your reasoning is correct? If there is no evidence..."

"Of course there is evidence."

Gao Cheng glanced at the secretary and took out the photo of the electric razor taken by the police.

"This is the clown who shaved An Gang. The purpose should be to worry that after two days, Mr. An Gang will have too much stubble and Ms. Lingxiang will be suspicious, because An Gang is a person with a lot of beards. If he doesn't shave for two days, it will be quite obvious... ..."

"What happened to the shaving?" Mu Mu asked strangely.

"Angang No. 17 was spent alone, what if you didn't shave that day?" Gao Cheng took out another enlarged photo of the beard stubble in the knife net, "The beard stubble in the razor has been checked, and all of them are clean. It belonged to Yasuoka himself, but there were two lengths of beard stubble that hadn’t been shaved for one day and two days, which proved that Angang didn’t shave because he was alone on the 17th... Maybe the accomplice didn’t think of this point?”

Yasuoka Manami looked at Gao Cheng in fear, her fingers trembling: "But, even so, everyone may be the murderer, right? Even people other than us can do it?"

"Let's not talk about the reason why Mr. Yasuoka assisted the accomplice in making an alibi," Gao Cheng asked back, "Miss Manami, do you remember what you said when you learned that the hostage had been killed?"

"What did I say?" Manami Yasuoka swallowed her saliva, "Yes, I said too much. Does the detective hate me just because of this?"

Gao Cheng's face was calm: "Let me help you recall it again. At that time, your original words were 'how did you step on the bridge and fall into the river so coincidentally'... Everyone heard it very clearly at that time."

"Is there any problem?" Yasuoka Manami snorted coldly, "Everyone knows that you fell off the bridge?"

"How do you know that I stepped on the empty suspension bridge and fell? The board is loose?" Gao Cheng continued to ask.

"This, this... I just heard the police say..."

"The police wouldn't say that, because the reason I actually fell was because the drawbridge rope was too worn out and broke."

Gao Cheng took out a photo of the wreckage of the suspension bridge.

"After identification, it was found that there were obviously man-made fracture marks on the wooden plank of the suspension bridge. I'm afraid it was a trap set by you, right? After hearing that I fell into the river on the day of the transaction, I took it for granted that the mechanism I set up had played a role... so you Do you still want to say that you are innocent?"
