Chapter 146: Kotani Renzo refuses to plead guilty!
In the shrine, everyone looked like they were thinking.
Yuanzi was stunned and didn't understand: "Is there anything strange about this?"
Shu Yunwen seemed to have thought of something, and looked like he suddenly realized: "I understand. Noodles such as ramen and udon must be cooked with chopsticks; while curry, fried rice, rice porridge, and steamed buns,
For food such as cakes and barbecue, you need to use a spoon, fork, or just grab it with your hands. The master is against noodles, which means he can't use chopsticks."
"There is something wrong with his dominant hand, his right hand. If his right hand cannot use chopsticks, which require a certain amount of dexterity, he will also be unable to hold a pen and write."
"That's what you want to say, right? Detective Yueshui."
Koshizui Nanatsuki nodded: "Shu-san is right. Of course, this is just my reasoning. However, as long as you ask Mr. Fukuda, the chef, you should know that the tableware Mr. Otsuka started using half a year ago,
They must all be spoons, forks and the like, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Fukuda Sanji nodded in surprise, "When you said that, I also remembered it. I was a little strange before..."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki turned to look at Hikoichi Aida: "Officer Aida, if the police want to determine whether there is something wrong with Mr. Otsuka's right hand, they only need to examine Mr. Otsuka's body and that should be enough."
"That's right." Aida Hikoichi immediately turned around and ordered, "Go and confirm immediately!"
"yes!"
A policeman saluted and ran away. Aida Hikoichi turned to look at Kotani Kenzo again: "If there is really something wrong with Mr. Otsuka's right hand, then find his most trusted confidant butler and ask him to write something on his behalf.
It’s not impossible…”
Just as he said that, Aida Yanichi suddenly shook his head: "No! No! It's still wrong! According to what you said, if the deceased Mr. Otsuka really asked the trustee to write something for him, the calendar in his room would be
It’s just handwriting. Those signatures and annotations on Mr. Otsuka’s company documents are likely to be recognized by people in the company, right? If people in the company notice something is wrong, won’t they question it?”
"Of course they will question it." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said in a matter-of-fact tone, "But even if they question it, if Mr. Otsuka insists that those signatures were written by himself, do you think that those in his company
Will subordinates continue to raise objections to their bosses?"
"I remember that Mr. Yamamoto, the gardener, said before that Mr. Otsuka is a very tough person. His company should be his one word, right? However, Mr. Otsuka's handwriting has changed. The people in their company must be
You should remember that as long as you call and ask, you should be able to figure it out quickly."
"Are you right? Butler Jiagu who still insists on not pleading guilty?"
"This, this is true. Contact Mr. Otsuka's company immediately and confirm with their employees!" Aida Hikoichi ordered the policeman next to him, and then looked at Kotani Renzo with a solemn face, "No matter what
, Butler Kotani, could you please provide me with some writing content on your right hand? Well, it doesn’t need too much, just the three words ‘Otsuka Takeru’ are enough…”
The expression on Jia Gu Rensan's face changed slightly, and then his expression turned sad: "You are right. The signatures, annotations on those documents, the words on the calendar, and the suicide note in the room where the master died
, I wrote them all with my right hand..."
"So, are you pleading guilty?" Aida Hikoichi asked.
Around him, several policemen were approaching Kaguya Rensan, forming a vague encirclement posture.
As for Kotani Renzo, he shook his head, his face full of innocence: "Plead guilty? I have not committed any crime, why should I plead guilty? Whether it is the death of the master or the serial murder case, it has nothing to do with me."
"What?!" Aida Hikoichi stared and looked at Kotani Renzo, "Butler Kotani, I believe everyone present heard what you just said. If you insist that you are not guilty, can I
Please tell me, what happened to the suicide note left in the room where Mr. Otsuka died?"
"You mean a suicide note?" Jiagu Liansan replied, "The master asked me to write it out a few days ago, isn't it okay?"
As he spoke, Kabutani Renzo looked sad again: "When the master asked me to write this suicide note, I was also surprised when I heard what the master said. I didn't expect that the master would do such a thing.
However, as a butler who has followed the master for seventeen years, even if I know that the master has committed such a serious crime as murder, I can only conceal it. After all, I don’t want the master to..."
"Uh... damn it!" Aida Hikoichi roared angrily, interrupting Kotani Renzo's words, "Butler Kotani, by saying such things, do you think our police are idiots?!"
Butler Jiagu suddenly laughed: "No, of course not. I believe that your police will definitely investigate the truth and clear my name. The master's death has nothing to do with me; as for the murderer of the serial murder case, he is also the master. If forced
If you want to say that I have committed a certain case, please provide evidence! Without evidence, I will not plead guilty..."
"Asshole!" Aida Hikoichi cursed again——
However, he had to admit that if they didn't have evidence, the most they could do was ask Jiagu Renzo to cooperate with the investigation, but there was no way to convict him!
Because, when the police solve a case, they need evidence. Evidences and testimonies must be indispensable!
They don't have any evidence now, only some situational evidence at most. However, such evidence will never be used in court.
"Sure enough, Butler Kotani, it seems that you actually harbor hatred towards Mr. Otsuka, right?" Koshizui Nanatsuki suddenly said at this time, "From the very beginning, you have been planning everything.
First, if your deeds are exposed, you will kill Mr. Otsuka and let him take the blame for you, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Miss Detective, I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about at all?" Koutani Renzo still looked innocent.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled slightly and continued: "Then let me continue my reasoning. First of all, it was Mr. Otsuka's death. He did commit suicide, yes."
"Why?" Aida Hikoichi held his chin, "If the suicide note in the room where Mr. Otsuka died was written by the housekeeper with his right hand, then it is possible that the housekeeper entered the room through the detachable window, and then
Knock the master unconscious, then hang him in the room..."
"No, this is impossible." Koshimizu Nanatsuki shook his head and objected, "Mr. Police Officer, do you still remember the timeline we deduced before? The time when your police deployed defenses inside and outside the villa was at 10:20 in the morning.
, Mr. Butler arrived at the villa from behind the cliff at 10:12, and there was only eight minutes of blank time."
"Within eight minutes, it is impossible to sneak into that room, knock out Mr. Otsuka, hang Mr. Otsuka, clean up all traces and leave. Therefore, the only possibility is Kotani
When the butler entered that room, Mr. Otsuka was actually dead."
"Of course, the housekeeper of Kotani, who had murderous intentions and wanted to kill Mr. Otsuka to take the blame for himself, wrote a suicide note in the room after seeing that Mr. Otsuka had hanged himself, and then left the room through the window.
…”
"This...if this is the reasoning, it is indeed very possible..." Aida Yan nodded.
The police investigated the room where Otsuka Ken committed suicide very carefully. If Kotani Kenzo really hanged Otsuka Kenzo, it would be impossible for him to leave no evidence in eight minutes.
"...But is it really such a coincidence?" Tsukamoto Sumi questioned from the side, "Mr. Otsuka happens to commit suicide today..."
Koshizui Nanatsuki was stunned for a moment, and then sighed with emotion: "Yeah, maybe it's just such a coincidence. I have to say that Butler Kotani was really lucky. Mr. Otsuka happened to hang himself in the room at that time.
If Mr. Otsuka had not died, he would definitely have gone to great lengths to kill Mr. Otsuka, and he might have been blocked by the police in that room, and he would have been unable to escape even if he wanted to..."
"Uh..." Aida Hikoichi also reacted, "Detective Koshimizu, this kind of coincidence cannot be regarded as evidence. Maybe Mr. Kotani Kenzo really can kill Mr. Otsuka in a short time, and
Clean up all traces...like writing a suicide note in advance or something."
"The suicide note was probably not written in advance." Koshimizu Nanatsuki shook his head seriously, "The suicide note is very clean and tidy, and the paper does not have any creases, right? This means that the suicide note should have been made from the paper in the room.
It was written on paper. I believe the police have also discovered what book the suicide note was torn from, right?"
"That's correct. The paper on which the suicide note was written was torn from a legal pad. We have also compared the tear marks on the paper on the legal pad. It should be unmistakable." Aida Hikoichi still didn't believe it.
"But is it really such a coincidence?"
Kotani Renzo chuckled: "You are talking as if you saw it with your own eyes. Let me say it again, I have never entered the room where the master committed suicide!"
At this time, Shu Yunwen next to him seemed to have remembered something, and sighed softly: "It should not be an accident that Mr. Otsuka would choose to commit suicide at this time, but it is inevitable..."
The eyes of the people around him suddenly focused on Shu Yunwen, and they all looked surprised: "Shu Sang, what do you think?"
