In the world of Kexue, being a president is a high-risk profession.
Counting the victims of many murder cases, the CEO is definitely the number one profession among the victims.
However, there is a certain basis for this. After all, most people will not be kind and generous after becoming rich, nor will they be contented. Instead, they will be disgusted by various behaviors that have no limit, and will eventually be killed.
.
"Three of you, please accompany us back to the Metropolitan Police Department." Takagi looked at the three of them and smiled and said, "I have a lot of things to ask you here."
When Ogino Keisuke heard Karasawa's words, he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute!!"
"Are you doubting us?" Yue Yuanxiang also looked anxious: "I told you, I was in my room until I came out."
"Then can anyone help you prove it?" Tang Ze looked at Yue Yuanxiang and asked: "If not, then your words cannot prove your innocence.
Of course, if someone can testify for you, that’s no problem.”
"There should be no one to prove it for us." Kazutomo Kanzaki looked a little unhappy when he heard this and said, "After all, the three of us live alone."
"But taking us away indiscriminately makes us very embarrassed!" Yue Yuanxiang looked embarrassed: "I really want to go to the Metropolitan Police Department, and I don't know how others will spread the news."
The other two people also nodded when they heard this, obviously very much agreeing with Yue Yuanxiang's words.
Karasawa was not surprised by this. Except for the prisoners who absolutely did not want to go to the Metropolitan Police Department, the other two did not want to go because they were worried about their reputation.
The custom in Neon is that you will be taken to the Metropolitan Police Department only if you are guilty. Even if you can be cleared of suspicion later, it will have a great impact.
If you encounter a company with a relatively bad workplace, rumors about the company will spread all over the place after you are taken away by the Metropolitan Police Department.
Even if you are later cleared of suspicion and acquitted, the rumors in the company will not subside, and many people will eventually resign because they can't stand it.
If there are some managers, even the company will be afraid of affecting the company's reputation and will fire them to prevent the company from being implicated in rumors.
So when the three of them heard that Takagi said they were going to the Metropolitan Police Department, they instantly became resistant.
"Well, let's choose a compromise."
Karasawa said: "It only lasted four minutes from the time President Katsumoto fell from the upstairs to the time you guys showed up.
Judging from the damage to the body, the deceased should have fallen from a very high floor.
If this was not an accident but a murder case, then the criminal might have pushed President Katsumoto himself out of his room.
After killing President Katsumoto, he quickly went downstairs and rushed to the scene of the crime.
You can take us to your respective rooms and take a look. Maybe we can get some evidence that you have been staying in the room.
In this way, you will be eliminated from the suspect list, and naturally you will not have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department with us."
Having said this, Tang Ze looked at the three people who were full of resistance and said calmly: "Let me explain in advance that it will be a matter of time to store your room.
Whether you go to the Metropolitan Police Department or not is a necessary process, so the choice is up to you."
Hearing Tang Ze's words, the three of them were stunned, but in the end they did not speak to object again.
Because on the surface Tang Ze gave them a choice, but in fact he didn't give them any choice at all.
And compared to Takagi taking the three of them to the Metropolitan Police Department for interrogation, it was obviously more acceptable to just search the room.
Even if the prisoner is reluctant, the other two confident people will force him to agree, otherwise it will attract the attention of the police.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally acquiesced to Tang Ze's proposal.
Watching the three people leading the way, Officer Takagi slowed down and came to Tang Ze, "Let's look for evidence to prove they are in the room next, right?"
"That's right."
Tang Ze nodded and said: "It was an unexpected situation that we appeared here, and the prisoner definitely didn't predict it.
In this way, there is no need to deliberately create absence to prove that you are staying in the room.
But you reacted quickly and realized that this was a good time to enter their home and search.
Then I specifically offered to take them to the Metropolitan Police Department, and it would be better if I agreed. Once I refuse, I can no longer refuse the request to search the room."
"Hey, I've been with you for so long, and I've been making progress." Officer Takagi smiled when he heard Karasawa's praise.
The two joked for a while and then followed the three of them to the elevator. Since the three of them lived on the same floor, it was a lot more convenient.
Karasawa asked Tsukihara Kazuyo and Kanzaki Kazutomo to open the door of their own house, and then stood at the entrance of Ogino Keiyu's house to wait, and then took Gao Meng and Conan into Ogino Keiyu's house.
Several people entered the house one after another. Maybe it was because it was a bit crowded, so Ogino Keisuke kicked down a paper bag as soon as he took two steps away from you.
"What is that?" Conan asked curiously, holding his mobile phone.
"This is the paper bag I received as a return gift when I attended the funeral a few days ago." Keisuke Ogino explained as he squatted down and put back the items scattered on the ground.
"Then do you have any evidence to prove that you have been in the room all the time?" Tang Ze looked at the other party and asked.
Ogino Keisuke opened the door leading to the living room from Xuanmen, pointed at the TV and said: "You can see that my TV is always on. This should be proof, right?"
"No, there shouldn't be anything we can do about this." Takagi forced a smile.
"What about this?" Keisuke Ogino said and went to get the wine glass placed on the coffee table: "I have been drinking beer since the beginning, and the foam of the beer is still there!"
"That's it." Takagi looked at the white beer still remaining in Ogino Keisuke's hand and nodded to agree with his evidence.
After all, beer powder usually doesn't stay around for too long. The fact that it's still there now means that the other party most likely went downstairs after committing the crime.
After seeing Ogino Keisuke's evidence, everyone walked towards Tsukihara-ka's room.
"Sister, did you go to the funeral with Mr. Ogino?"
After entering Yue Yuanxiang's room, he found the same paper bag placed next to the bookcase, and Conan asked.
"Yes, all three of us attended the funeral, although the president did not attend." Yue Yuanxiang nodded and explained.
"Did you just make this coffee?"
Karasawa looked at the cup of coffee on the table and asked.
"Yes, that's the coffee I just made before I left the room." Yue Yuanxiang nodded: "If I don't drink a cup of coffee in the morning, I won't be able to work seriously."
Conan on the side once again held up his mobile phone to take pictures, while Takagi looked at the coffee carefully and said: "This can barely be used as evidence, after all, there is still heat on the coffee cup."
"Mr. Criminal, hurry up! Please come in and take a look!"
Hearing Takagi's words, Kanzaki Kazuto seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly urged the two of them to come to his room, took out the key, opened the door, and invited them to enter.
"Calm down first, don't be so panicked." Takagi looked at the suddenly irritable Kazuto Kanzaki and quickly spoke to comfort him.
"No, I just saw the heat of Miss Yue Yuanxiang's coffee and suddenly thought that I have similar evidence!"
As Kazutomo Kanzaki spoke, he opened the bedroom door in a panic, but when he saw the ashtray on the desk, his tone immediately lost: "It's over, when I go out, I will put the half-smoked cigarette on it."
On the ashtray.
Now it has been completely lit and extinguished.”
However, Kazutomo Kanzaki was still unwilling to give up and immediately went to get the remaining cigarette butt.
And as the long ash fell, the cigarette butt actually burned again.
"Ah, it's still burning!"
Kazuto Kanzaki excitedly held the cigarette butt and showed it to Karasawa and the others: "The ashes just blocked it, you can see it's still smoking, right?"
"really"
Seeing the still smoking cigarette butt in the other person's hand, Takagi nodded and then looked at the three of them with some uncertainty and asked: "In other words, none of you three went to the deceased's room, right?"
The three of them were not stupid, and they naturally nodded in agreement after hearing Takagi's words. They all killed each other without ever going to President Katsumoto's house.
Tang Ze looked at the three people in front of him but said nothing.
Because he knew that one of the three people at the scene must be the murderer.
The evidence of these three people is foam, heat and smoke respectively.
However, Tang Ze was not idle either. He asked Conan to use his mobile phone to record the evidence of the three of them, in order to help them preserve this timely evidence.
When Officer Megure arrived, Takagi explained everything about his accidental encounter with Karasawa and others after he took over his shift at 7:30, then his incident of jumping from a building, and his text messages to find the three of them.
As for the content of the text message that President Katsumoto sent to the group, it was a letter that provoked the recipient and urged the recipient to commit murder.
Of course, they didn't just sit around and do nothing after checking the three people's rooms. Instead, while looking at the three people, they went to President Katsumoto's home on the 26th floor to briefly check the situation.
In the other party's home, the entrance door and the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony were still open and not closed.
In addition, he also went to the control room to watch the elevator monitoring. Takagi also climbed upstairs to calculate the time to go upstairs.
In addition, after checking the mobile phone, I only found that after the other party sent the text message to the group, he immediately used the mobile phone to contact the decoration workers.
In terms of reasoning, Takagi may be a little weak, but when it comes to investigating information, he really couldn't be more skilled, and he quickly figured out the situation of the other party's contact with the decorator.
It turned out that last night, the decorator went to help the president replace the carpet in the room, which was different from the carpet he purchased.
So today, President Katsumoto actually measured the actual length of the carpet wool while complaining to the other party on the phone.
But midway through the call, the doorbell rang, so President Katsumoto called and said he would call back later, and hung up the phone.
"Well, that means President Katsumoto was always in his room before he fell."
After listening to the details of the case described by Takagi, Officer Megure touched his chin and muttered: "Then the person who rang the doorbell and came to visit is probably the murderer."
"You should be right about this." Tang Ze nodded.
"Also, I would like to ask, how long does it take to get from their room to the room where the deceased is?" Megure asked.
"Because the three suspects all live on the third floor, it would take about seven minutes to go to the president's room on the 26th floor."
Takagi said: "I have done actual tests myself before, so it shouldn't be wrong."
"Climb the stairs?" Memu looked surprised after hearing Takagi's words: "Didn't you take the elevator to test?"
"There is a camera in the elevator of the apartment. I went to the security room to confirm it before."
Karasawa said: "During the period around 7:30 when President Katsumoto fell from the building, the camera did not capture the three people.
In other words, if the three of them are criminal suspects, they should have taken the stairs."
By the way, the reason why Tangze went to see the surveillance and Takagi climbed the stairs was not because of his rank, but because Tangze was in good physical condition. Climbing the stairs would affect the measurement time and cause errors.
Takagi also knew this, so he took the initiative to climb the stairs.
"I see, that's what happened."
Officer Megu understood the situation at the scene: "In other words, after the prisoner rang the doorbell of the deceased's room, he immediately killed the deceased, then immediately left the room and ran to the crime scene on the first floor.
After the prisoner was discovered by you, you went to their room to check the situation.
These times add up to almost more than ten minutes.
And if someone is a prisoner, there will be a ten-minute blank period in the other person's room, right?"
"That's right." Takagi nodded: "Within ten minutes, whether it's the foam of the beer, the heat of the coffee, or the smoke from the cigarette butt, everything should disappear."
"I see."
Officer Memaku nodded and immediately looked at the three of them: "But why did President Katsumoto send you a text message?"
"It must be because of the lawsuit!" Keisuke Ogino said without hesitation.
"We originally planned to sue the president together!" Tsukihara Kaoru said angrily.
"The original plan was to do it at the beginning of next month." Kazutomo Kanzaki explained in agreement.
"litigation?"
Tang Ze looked at the three of them and said, "Tell me the situation in detail."
"Perhaps you have heard of this matter more or less."
Keisuke Ogino explained: "Last week, a star actress committed suicide by jumping off a building."
"I have an impression of this." Takagi heard this and said, "The reason why she committed suicide was because paparazzi took photos of her kissing her lover whose identity was in danger, right?"
"I was the one who took that photo." Ogino Keisuke said.
"I am the one responsible for writing the article." Kanzaki Kazutomo said.
"Then I became the person responsible for editing the article and finally publishing it in the magazine," Tsukihara said.
"Becoming you?"
Tang Ze was thoughtful when he heard Yue Yuanxiang's words: "It seems there is something else hidden."
"That's right!" Yue Yuanxiang nodded, and then spoke angrily about the truth behind this matter.
