Chapter 49 The Wax Doll City Murder Case 13
"In Showa 43, there was a case where fake policemen riding white motorcycles robbed 400 million yen from an armored transport truck.
"When the cash transport truck arrived at the back gate of Fuchu Prison, a white police motorcycle overtook and approached from behind. The driver had no choice but to roll down the window. The fake policeman on the white motorcycle said that he was sent by the department to make an emergency notification
, and then informed the driver that there were explosives in the armored vehicle and asked him to go in and check.
"The four people on the armored vehicle felt uneasy because they knew that the branch manager had been intimidated, so they got out of the car obediently and let the other party check. Suddenly, a cry of 'It's going to explode' emanated from the chimney.
When the smoke came out, the four people hurriedly hid behind the car to find cover. The man riding the white police patrol car took advantage of the gap, jumped into the cash transport truck and drove away.
"A member of the Self-Defense Forces who happened to be passing by in the opposite lane saw blue fire coming from here and rushed over with a fire extinguisher. When he heard the prisoner shouting 'It's going to explode', he quickly retracted his body back into the car!"
"Mr. Akechi, you know so much in detail!" Miyuki Nanase, who was wearing pigtails, listened with great interest.
"Because this was the case that my father was responsible for, there were hundreds of criminal tools and other evidence left behind by the criminal at the scene. Therefore, at the beginning, the police were quite optimistic about solving the case. However, as time went by, they discovered that these leftovers were either
Whether it was a stolen item or a mass-produced and sold item, it had no effect on the progress of solving the case. The search hit a dead end and the case entered a maze. So far, the case with the largest amount of losses in this century has exceeded the civil lawsuit.
The statute of limitations (20 years) has made it a completely unsolved case."
"That's right... what Kyouji said is absolutely correct. The police were confused by the evidence he left behind." Takigawa Hui changed to a sweet smile that looked like someone in love, with a sweetness mixed with admiration.
, although this smile is slightly inconsistent on the weathered face.
"At the beginning of the investigation, my father also suspected Bando, Touma, Richard and others, but later they all ignored it, so when I knew that they would all come to Bador City's 'Night of Suspense', I thought
I came to this castle specially to participate in the 'Night of Suspense' to see if it might have anything to do with this case."
"Those three people..." Her face returned to calm, "We transferred the 300 million yen in the cash transport truck. In order to perfect the crime and pursue criminal art, Kyouji did not allow Bando Kusaburo and the others to wait until the statute of limitations on the case.
Although the three of them did not dare to say anything, they all felt resentful.
"That evening, when the stars were shining in the sky, Kyouji and I stood on the top of a nearby mountain cliff. He said that a German castle would be brought here in the near future, and he also said that he had thought of a perfect crime using this castle as the stage. After speaking, he
He handed me a ring and asked me if I should think about the future. At that time..."
Takigawa Hui gritted her teeth and continued, "Bando Kusaburo knocked Kyoji unconscious with a hockey stick, and I was also knocked unconscious. We were buried in the soil. When I woke up, I was lying in the hospital because of the injuries.
I was shocked and lost my memory for half a year. Although I rushed to the place where he was buried, the castle was already standing here at that time!"
When she said the next part, she cried heavily, with hot tears welling up in her red eyes, "Kyouji... all he left me was a ring. At that time, I swore that I would use the lives of the three of them.
I comforted Kyouji’s soul in heaven. Then I changed my name and surname, pretending to be another person, Takigawa Ei, waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the moment of revenge against them.
"And today, revenge is finally completed!" The gun in his hand trembled due to the sudden increase in grip strength.
She suddenly raised her hand, pretending to shoot down the multi-layered candlelight on the top of the large fireplace, "I have the obligation to completely complete this crime."
Suddenly, Saaki shouted, "Where is your ring? The ring Kyoji Kyoji Kyoji left for you is not on your finger!"
"What?" Taqichuan Hui looked at her left hand hanging on the side in surprise.
Too late, Saoki strode forward and held her right hand holding the gun.
"You!" The trigger was pressed subconsciously, "Bang, bang", there were two loud noises, and the bullet hit the ceiling, creating two streaks of fire. Fortunately, it did not hit the tether of the chandelier.
"What do you want to do?"
"What the hell! Go die and find a quiet place! Don't harm others!" He knelt down on the middle-aged woman, pressing his knees against her ribs, holding the woman's wrist tightly with both hands, and turned her hard.
Only a "click" was heard, the woman's right wrist lost consciousness, and the index finger holding the trigger lost its strength. Sagi took the opportunity to grab the pistol and threw it aside.
Looking at the drooped right palm, Takigawa Hui cried bitterly, "Ah..."
At this time, the others reacted and rushed over to help Zuomu suppress the crazy woman who wanted everyone to be buried together.
"You... won, Detective Sa...ki... Detective!" She said every word, her face turned pale from the pain, and she said nervously, "Ha... ha... Kyouji, I couldn't complete your task."
Art, I have no face to face you."
"No, it's not," Kindaichi yelled at her. Crime is not an art. Your lover's plan is indeed perfect, but what did it leave behind for you? It didn't just leave the betrayal of your companions,
Miserable death and hatred of lovers?”
"What do you know!" Taki Chuanhui bit her lip and the corners of her mouth were instantly covered with blood.
"I understand! But will you get happiness if you keep hating others? Are you really satisfied after completing your revenge? No matter how high-sounding it is, crime will only produce tragedy!"
Saoki dusted off the dust on his knees, squatted there and looked at the righteous Kindaichi, as if he saw his former self, thinking: "Can people who don't live with hatred really understand the kind of people who have hatred engraved in their bones? What if?
One day, someone comes to you and asks you, if you don't let him take revenge, he will take his own life. How will you dissuade him, Kindaichi-kun? People who have never done multiple-choice questions will always imagine that they can choose the most perfect answer.
But manpower will eventually fail."
He wanted to think about it, but he had no intention of telling Kindaichi this. Only by experiencing it personally can people grow.
Takigawa Kei couldn't find the words to refute Kindaichi for a while. She just lay on the ground with all her thoughts in despair, staring blankly at the candle that was supposed to fall to the ground and light up. She whispered softly, "I will find a chance to go down."
Accompanying you, Kyouji!"
"Isn't it good to be alive?" A thin palm was handed to her, and in the palm lay a silver ring exuding a few wisps of green smoke.
"The ring Kyouji gave me," Takigawa Kei struggled to sit up from the ground with tears in her eyes. She wanted to pick it up with her right hand, but found that her dislocated wrist couldn't use the strength at all, so she could only pick it up with her left hand. "It's so hot.
!”
She took another look at Zuomu's palm, and saw a circle of blisters on it. She frowned and asked, "Where did you find it?"
Sagi pointed his thumb at the fireplace behind him, "You probably accidentally mixed it in with your clothes and props this morning and threw it in."
"Why do you do this?"
"It is better to die than to live. No matter what the future trial is, now that your enemy is dead, you should live wearing the ring that Kyouji Kayama gave you, not only for yourself," Saaki pointed at his chest, and then at the woman.
The ring held in his hand "made him try his best to live as he once was, even if his time was short."
"He used to be..." the middle-aged woman repeated in a low voice, her eyes that had lost their luster gradually became brighter, and finally she covered her face and cried bitterly.
Saoki put away his palms, grabbed the ink umbrella under his feet, and slowly stood up.
Chapter completed!
