"I never thought that after listening to you for a long time, I would only hear such a farce."
Kijima looked at Karasawa and said angrily: "This is simply impossible!"
"Oh? Why is it impossible?"
Karasawa looked at Kijima Mimu playfully and said, "Are you trying to say that you saw the body in the room with Mr. Ishikawa and Miss Nakamura?"
After hearing Karasawa's words, Kijima's originally angry face suddenly turned ugly. He didn't expect that what he wanted to say would actually be proposed by the other party.
And what this means is naturally self-evident.
"But we entered the room together, and Miss Umeda's body was in the room at that time."
After hearing Karasawa's words, Ishikawa Jiro, who didn't understand the joints, questioned: "In that case, how could Kijima move the body?"
"Are you really sure what you saw is what happened?" Tang Ze looked at the two people and asked meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Nakamura Yoko was a little confused.
"What I mean is that what you see is not a corpse, but a doll that is the same size as Miss Umeda and is made up to look like a clown."
Karasawa ignored the increasingly uglier-looking Kijima Mito beside him, and instead changed his voice and said, "After all, who proposed to hold the engagement celebration party tonight as a masquerade party?"
"It was suggested by the editor-in-chief." Ishikawa Jiro answered truthfully.
"Then I would like to ask you two, did the director personally negotiate with you?"
Karasawa looked at the two of them and said, "After all, you are the protagonists of this party. I think no matter how overbearing Editor Umeda is, he can't not ask for your opinions on this kind of thing, right?"
"This..." Ishikawa noticed something was wrong when he heard this, and said with a slight hesitation: "It was Mr. Kijima who informed our editor-in-chief of this decision..."
"It makes no sense at all what you are saying now." Mijima looked impatient, "Editor-in-Chief Umeda is dead, so there is no way to verify the authenticity of what you said!"
"That's true. After all, as a suspect, I won't believe you no matter what you say."
Karasawa scolded Kijima, then looked at him and asked: "Speaking of which, Mr. Mengqiu, do you know that there is an earthquake sensor installed on the gas stove in the kitchen of this room?"
"Earthquake...sensor??" After hearing Karasawa's words, Kijima's eyes were confused and uneasy for a moment.
That was his instinctive reaction after things went beyond his expectations.
"It seems you really don't know." Karasawa said while looking towards Takagi, who nodded and quickly took out the ingredients on the gas stove from the kitchen.
"Sato Criminal, you are more proficient in cooking. Please describe the situation in the pot."
After hearing what Karasawa said, Sato Miwaji opened the lid of the pot and showed the situation in the country to others: "Miss Umeda should be planning to make beef stew.
However, judging from the condition of this pot, let alone the difficult-to-cook beef, even some of the side dishes were not cooked.
In this situation, it is simply impossible to catch up with the five o'clock party."
"That's pretty much it."
Tangze said, taking out his mobile phone and pulling up a photo, "This is the pointer of the gas stove switch. It says "low fire", right?
This also proves that Ms. Umeda prepared dinner in conjunction with the start time of the party.
I guess she planned to simmer it slowly over low heat, but because the earthquake activated the sensor at three o'clock, the fire was automatically extinguished.
But the strange thing is that Ms. Umeda did not restart the fire.
In other words, there is no way to light the fire anymore, because she was already killed by Mr. Kijima at that time!"
Kijima Mito was shocked and furious after hearing Karasawa's words, "This is so stupid, I want to go back!!"
But before he could take a step forward, the fat body of Officer Memu stood in front of him like an iron wall, "I'm sorry, Brother Tangze hasn't finished speaking yet. I don't think I can let you leave yet!"
Kijima Mi's eyes trembled as he looked at Officer Megure, who put tremendous pressure on him, and finally did not dare to leave.
"Mr. Kijima, I believe that before you met Mr. Ishikawa and the others, you came to Ms. Umeda's house and killed her from behind, right?"
Looking at the angry Kijima Mi, Karasawa smiled indifferently: "In order to make us think that Miss Umeda was killed shortly before you arrived in the room, you placed the body on the cold balcony.
This will delay the rigor mortis time of the corpse.
Then you use the prepared dolls to arrange the package and arrange the scene where the other party seems to have been killed.
I think the reason why you didn't turn off the gas stove before leaving was so that when Miss Umeda was discovered, the beef stew would be cooked, so as to create the feeling that the other party had just been killed, right?
Unfortunately, God is not as good as man. There was an earthquake at about 3 o'clock today, and the gas was automatically turned off by the earthquake sensor.
But you didn't know about the earthquake sensor, so you met up with Mr. Ishikawa and went to the clothing rental store as planned.
And while changing clothes, you used Ms. Umeda's mobile phone to send text messages to create the illusion that she was still alive at the time, and then used Ms. Umeda's identity to let everyone's mobile phones be stored in the store.
But what I really should praise you for is the psychological tricks you used after that, which completely deceived Ishikawa and the others into thinking they really saw the corpse."
"Psychological... Techniques? Seeing corpses..." After hearing Karasawa's words, Ishikawa and his girlfriend looked at each other, and their expressions became complicated as they seemed to have thought of something.
Tang Ze looked at the expressions of the two people and said with a smile: "I think you two should have noticed it now.
Because Kijima said at that time not to destroy the scene, you didn't get close to the body at all.
Joking about the dim light, seeing footprints at the entrance, the fallen doll, and the conversation after Shimizu Masataka hurried out.
These gave you a preconceived impression, but out of trust in your companions, you believed this fact in your mind even though you didn't see the real body.
From the moment you entered the room, the two of you were already guided by each other.
Including the action of going out to find the phone, although it seems to be the result of the discussion between the three of us and even Mr. Ishikawa's leadership, in fact it is also inevitable.
Based on the situation at that time, I think you would never want to leave Yoko Nakamura alone in a room with a corpse, right?
So the two of you went to find the phone, which was actually part of his plan.
And when you leave the room, he can naturally stay in the room alone, exchange the real corpse hidden on the balcony with the doll, and then dispose of the doll.
And the oil paint on the curtains was probably accidentally stained when moving the body."
"You're talking nonsense, these are just guesses!"
After hearing that Karasawa had almost restored all the truth, Kijima Mito angrily rushed to Karasawa and loudly denied it: "Why do you say that I am the murderer? Do you have any evidence for this!?"
Unfortunately, the reasoning does not mean that the louder your voice is, the more reasonable it is. Since the other party takes the initiative to ask for a "hammer, you will get a hammer", Tang Ze will naturally not be stingy in making the other party give up.
Looking at the ferocious-looking Kijima Mimi in front of him, Tang Ze smiled and said, "Of course there is evidence. Please go to the balcony and take a look."
After hearing this, everyone followed Karasawa's words and came to the balcony, where they found Uye Naoki standing in front of a white car downstairs.
"Mr. Kijima, this is your car."
Karasawa looked at the trembling Kijima Mito and gestured downstairs, and then Naoki Kamei opened the trunk of the other person's car. The next moment, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.
In the other party's trunk, there was a life-size doll dressed exactly like Miss Umeda lying there quietly.
This absolute irrefutable evidence proves that Karasawa's reasoning is correct, and also proves that Kijima Mito himself is the murderer!
"Damn it!! It's all that woman's fault!!"
Kijima Mikami grabbed the railing with his hands and knelt down on the ground, starting the confession session.
Ms. Umeda was indeed kind to Kijima Mito, and under her training and promotion, he did become an outstanding makeup artist.
But whenever he got a girlfriend, Umeda would intervene to ruin the relationship between him and his girlfriend. Not only that, Umeda also threatened him that if he dared to leave the company, he would not be able to gain a foothold in this industry.
Whenever he thought about this, he felt that he was being played like a monkey, a clown who was crying inside but was forced to hide under the makeup and amuse the other party.
So he was forced into a desperate situation and finally chose to embark on such a path of no return.
After hearing Kijima Mi's words, Karasawa couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
From what the other party said, it seems that the other party was reverse-subjected by Editor Umeda?
When he understood the meaning of the other party's words, Tang Ze couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
It should be said that this is a trouble for a handsome man. To be honest, Ms. Umeda is not ugly, but not only does she dislike her, she even has murderous intentions because of it.
If the group of idiot netizens in future generations knew that such a good thing happened, they would definitely shout "Sister, I can do it" and the like.
Of course, for Kijima Mito, it might be such a humiliation that he would not hesitate to kill someone to escape this humiliation.
Under the complicated looks of Ishikawa and the two men, Kijima Mito was finally escorted into the police car by Takagi.
As for Shimizu Shintaka, as long as he checks with Mijima Kijima, the suspicion of murder can basically be eliminated.
But it wouldn't be a loss for him to take the other person back first.
After all, the other party is also related to a murder case, so it is normal to go back and make a record or something, and the car pick-up and drop-off saves the other party from running away on his own.
From this aspect, Qianye brought it back to him, which saved him trouble.
Of course, he may not want this kind of trouble at all. After all, to put it bluntly, he was unintentional. He originally thought he was lucky enough to get a job, but in the end he was almost framed as a criminal.
After this incident, he probably won't dare to accept jobs casually from the Internet anymore.
After the case was over, Karasawa returned home with an empty stomach and ate the hamburger Ayako brought him.
Ayako has also been very busy in the past few days. Although it only lasted for two or three days, the news that the Tang Ling consortium gained huge benefits before the economic crisis has spread throughout the financial world.
When countless companies and even consortiums are struggling, the Suzuki Consortium, which is strong and well-funded, and the Tang Ling Consortium, which are like brothers, can be said to be life-saving straws in the eyes of these people.
In addition, Ayako will naturally not miss this good opportunity for expansion. In the development areas planned by Karasawa, she has selected some high-quality companies for acquisition or investment.
If we say that in the past, some companies wanted to invest in others,
Countless people want to get a large amount of money from here to tide over the difficulties, including even the banks in the top Neon rankings in Kexue World.
Unlike Karasawa's hometown, except for the post office savings, which are state-owned, all other banks are privately owned.
And because of the bank's special status in the financial field, it would be of great benefit to Tangze to get more bank shares.
Under this situation, even Ayako didn't have much free time to prepare dinner for Karasawa.
However, it was quite refreshing to eat something like burgers occasionally, and it was easy to carry. Karasawa and Ayako ate all the burgers and fried chicken while watching TV.
It was almost 8 o'clock, and the singing variety show in which Okino Yoko participated had ended. Seeing the commercial break, Ayako used the remote control to adjust the channel to find other programs, while Karasawa drank fruit tea and started to idle on the computer.
"Hmm? Wait a minute."
While I was staring at the constantly changing programs on the TV screen aimlessly, I suddenly saw a familiar face flashing across the TV while I was lying down.
He came to his senses, took the remote control in Ayako's hand and turned the channel back.
"...He suffered burns while performing a new magic trick called "The Resurrection of the Witch". He is currently being treated in the emergency room."
Because he was switching channels, the news anchor had already read half of the news when Karasawa switched over.
But it was only this second half that allowed Tang Ze to understand the whole story.
"What's wrong?" Ayako on the side also saw the content of the news and couldn't help but ask: "Acquaintance?"
"Well, that's right..." Karasawa organized his words and told Ayako the general story of what happened.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Is this a self-inflicted disaster..." Ayako couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the short-haired woman on the screen and the photos of her injuries taken after the accident.
That's right, this person is Himemiya Nobuyoshi whom Karasawa saved after stopping the case before.
She was also the only one who made Tangze feel that his mentality was a bit complicated after being rescued.
If you say she did something wrong, it's true, and she also has a bad character.
But from a legal perspective, you cannot punish the other party. After all, the tragedy she caused is only an indirect impact of what she did.
The final result was that Himemiya Kenko had a falling out with Xinghe Tōgo and others from Shokage Master's faction, directly severed the relationship, and took away the teacher's secret magic on the pretext of calming down the situation.
He originally thought that the other party would be happy and contented, but he never expected that such a tragedy would happen to him not long after.
