Tokyo Police

v11 Chapter 38: comb

"Mr. Shibata, the real purpose of your self-directed and self-acted farce is to find the mastermind behind the murder of Mr. Kikuchi Takashi..."

Lin Xiuyi suddenly broke the purpose of Mr. Shibata, which made Ms. Gu Ze feel a little surprised. She couldn't understand why the housekeeper of Xiwu Village would do everything possible to deal with him.

"That's right. Over the years, I have been thinking about finding out the murderer who killed Guizhi. It's a pity that I have never found anything. If it weren't for the appearance of the "Love Letter", I would wake up again. As for my fighting spirit, I don't think I can wait for the day when the truth is revealed."

Butler Shibata said to Ms. Guzawa and Mr. Morris without changing his face, with both anger and a hint of relief in his tone. Although in the incident of Kikuchi Takashi's accidental death, Shibata's housekeeper used the surname Maeda at that time, but Lin Xiuyi vaguely guessed the true identity of Shibata's housekeeper.

Just when Butler Shibata was throwing arrows out of the window, Lin Xiu vaguely felt that something was wrong. After all, everyone was listening to Koichi Asai's welcome speech at that time. No one noticed the situation outside the gate of the banquet hall. But at this moment, there was a sudden power outage. Immediately after, Steward Shibata fell from the window. However, Lin Xiuyi felt a little puzzled that, logically speaking, the position of Asai Gongichi was obviously better than that of Shibata's housekeeper, and Asai Gongyi, the master, was obviously more important than the goal of Shibata's housekeeper.

Although he vaguely felt something was wrong at the time, Lin Xiuyi didn't immediately think that this would be a farce directed and acted by Butler Shibata. It was not until he returned to the house from the kitchen that Lin Xiuyi, who had gradually calmed down, gradually became suspicious.

Although the door lock of the kitchen was broken, there was no obvious sign of someone breaking in. After all, it had been raining heavily on the mountain since before the servants left the kitchen, but there were no obvious footprints and water marks on the ground inside and outside the kitchen. Although the prisoner can explain everything by taking off his shoes, shouldn't the most important thing for a perpetrator who rushes in is to escape as soon as possible after he succeeds. After all, bows and arrows are not as good as pistols. If everyone present at the time swarmed them, the perpetrators would not be able to stop them at all.

"Mr. Shibata, can I ask you what is the relationship between you and the deceased Mr. Kikuchi Takashi..."

Lin Xiuyi asked the housekeeper Shibata with some doubts. After all, a housekeeper avenged his former employer. If it wasn't for a special relationship, it wouldn't make sense to justify it...

"Kishi, he...is actually my biological son, but...don't get me wrong, I just gave him to the infertile Kikuchi couple as an adopted child because I couldn't raise him alone. The kind Kikuchi couple not only Guizhi treats him like his own son, and hires me as the housekeeper to stay by Guizhi's side..."

Shibata recalled the happy time at the beginning, and the hatred in his heart increased a little bit. He put his cheek beside the bowstring and stared at Ms. Guzawa who was standing downstairs. If he stood in front of him, Shibata's arrow would have been shot long ago.

"Then... the one who took the clogs from the scene back then was probably the first to discover the scene, Mr. Shibata!"

Lin Xiuyi said to Mr. Shibata in a positive tone.

"Yes... I took those clogs. At that time, I was eager to know what his future wife would be like because he was going to get married. So I kept silently watching him. No When I thought about it, I saw Guizhi rolling down the stairs. When I rushed to Guizhi's side, his neck was already broken. I could only helplessly watch him slowly in my arms I took my last breath...I...I!"

"So, you found out that Mr. Takashi's clogs were tampered with?"

Lin Xiuyi asked Mr. Shibata with empathy.

"Yes, those clogs were given to him by Guizhi's fiancee. The front teeth of the clogs on the left foot were originally broken, but they were repaired with glue. It didn't come out. I was... I knew at the time that it wasn't an accident at all."

"It's a pity that in places like Hakone, the local police may not be able to find such obvious traces. Or, what if they did. The vicious woman on the other side of the phone is not in Japan at all, and she is a nobleman. Descendants, the police will never dare to do anything to her."

"I thought at the time that if I completely relied on the police, Guizhi's death could only be treated as an accident! So, I simply hid the two clogs, and brought Guizhi's slippers and put them on the scene. From that moment on, I secretly made up my mind that I would definitely find Guizhi's fiancée and ask her face-to-face. It turns out that things turned out as I expected..."

If it wasn't for Lin Xiu to see through all of this, Steward Shibata would definitely kill the pair of dogs and men standing below. But the arrival of Lin Xiuyi gave Shibata a glimmer of hope. He desperately wanted to know why his son Zhigui was killed.

"I'm sorry~lightnovelpub.net~ everyone! Please give me a little time, I think some things should be made clear! If my guess is right, Ms. Guzawa, you were Mr. Takashi's fiancee. , maybe you didn't want to kill Mr. Guizhi! I think your original idea may just want to let Mr. Guizhi get a little injured, in this case, you can use the rumor that the painting "Love Letter" is an ominous work Let the Kikuchi family dispose of this seemingly ordinary but priceless painting at a low price... But it is a pity, perhaps because of fate, Mr. Takashi passed away unfortunately..."

"But what makes people feel dramatic is that although Mr. Takashi's death did add to the notoriety of the work "Love Letter". However, because of the accidental disruption of Takuya Maezawa, the third deceased, this painting was once again associated with Ms. Furusawa. Passed by. I think... that's why President Maezawa was killed!"

After Lin Xiuyi finished speaking, he suddenly came to Mr. Asai. As long as he took another step forward, Morris' knife could touch Lin Xiuyi's neck. But Morris couldn't make up his mind to do so. The words just said, everyone present can hear clearly, unless Morris can kill all the sober enemies including Lin Shuichi, Genzhizhu, Asai Koichi and Shibata Steward, otherwise, he will not at all. You can't cover up your crimes. Moreover, although the hostage Asai Gongichi is useful in Lin Xiuyi, it may not be able to play any role in Shibata, who is bent on revenge.
