COS Jae-Ryu-Sui accidentally came to Beika-Cho

Chapter 158: Trip to Nagano (Case Solved~)

Work House

Tsushima half-knelt beside the corpse, looking at the deceased from all angles, nodding and humming from time to time.

Hikaru Midorikawa, who was standing next to him and also examining the body, retracted his gaze and looked at Tsushima, "Did you find it too?"

——There is no doubt that this is a homicide.

Tsushima nodded, then suddenly stood up, paced back and forth, touched his chin with one hand, and said regretfully, "It turns out that death from shock is so painful. I'd better not try it next time."

Midorikawa Hikari:? ? ?

Feeling helpless, Midorikawa Hikaru patted the other person's head and said firmly, "Please don't try it!"

Tsushima was suddenly slapped on the head: ...

——My head is so precious!

"You guys..." At this time Zhu Fu Gaoming came back from outside. After arranging things and entering the scene, he just saw Jing Guang touching the girl's head.

Zhu Fu Gaoming paused when he saw his brother interacting with a girl for the first time. The words he had just said disappeared silently.

"Officer Morobushi, you're here." Hikaru Midorikawa, who was caught touching his former boss' head, calmly withdrew his hand and turned to the person at the door to greet him.

Zhu Fu Gaoming came back to his senses and continued what he hadn't finished saying, "How was your inspection? Did you find anything new?"

Midorikawa Hikaru didn't say anything, but instead looked at the person next to him, obviously wanting the other person to make the decision.

In Zhu Fu Gaoming's eyes, it was clear who was in the dominant position between the two.

"That's about it. Officer Morobushi can call the witness over now." Tsushima didn't refuse and replied directly.

"I'm here for this too, but there are two witnesses." Zhu Fu Gaoming walked into the workshop, followed by two men who entered the scene one after another.

The man on the left who is slightly taller than Zhufu Gaoming is Takahashi Yota, the deceased's apprentice. He is wearing a casual shirt and overalls with many pockets.

Such pants are convenient for carving as you don’t have to carry things everywhere, and some tools can be put directly in them, which is convenient and saves trouble.

It is a very good choice.

At the time of the incident, Takahashi Yota claimed that he was sawing wood in the yard. When a customer came to pick up something, he found the deceased's workshop. He discovered that the other party had not responded for a long time, so he entered the house to check and found that the person was no longer breathing.

The man on the right is the customer who had made an appointment to pick up something, Mr. Takuji Ito. He came to pick up the wood carving he had ordered. When he arrived, he found Takahashi Yota who was sawing wood. The two of them ended up walking together and witnessed the scene at the same time. After confirming that Mr. Kawamoto was dead, they called the police directly.

The two men did not move at the crime scene, but waited for the police to come and handle the matter.

Zhu Fu Gaoming briefly summarized the witnesses' testimony for Tsushima and the other man.

"Oh, I see. Then, was it Mr. Takahashi or Mr. Ito who called the police?" After understanding the situation, Tsushima walked up to the two of them and asked them seriously.

"Well, it was Takahashi who asked me to call. What happened?" recalled Ito Takuji.

When I opened the door, I saw a person on the ground with purple lips, pale face, black and purple skin, and a painful expression. I knew something had happened.

"Yes, that's right. I was the one who panicked and called Mr. Ito to call the police because I didn't have my cell phone with me," Takahashi Yota added.

Tsushima asked again, "So did you enter the scene and touch the body?"

Takahashi Yota: "We both went in there, and Mr. Ito must have touched it."

"Yes, I tried to smell Mr. Kawamoto's breath," Ito Takuji admitted.

After listening to their answers, Tsushima nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your answers."

"Do you have any idea?" asked Midorikawa Mitsuru when he saw that she had stopped.

He looked at the two witnesses at the scene, and finally his gaze paused on Takahashi Yota for a few seconds. He then withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened and turned to look at a serious detective.

Midorikawa Hikaru asked what the clue was, and everyone at the scene knew the situation except the witnesses.

"Found it." Tsushima said intriguingly.

It was not only a clue, but also the key evidence to identify the murderer.

His eyes shone on the bulging pockets of the overalls, with a hint of red mixed in.

"It seems that Miss Tsushima has already identified the murderer who killed Mr. Kawamoto." Zhufu Takaaki, who was silently watching Tsushima asking questions, was certainly not in a daze. He observed the scene calmly and already knew who the murderer was.

As for the evidence, some of it was discovered through Tsushima's gaze, but the other half has not been discovered yet.

Zhu Fugaoming's straightforward words shocked and bewildered the two witnesses at the scene.

"Huh? What do you mean, officer?" Ito Takuji was very confused, and at the same time felt dissatisfied about being suspected.

It was clearly an ordinary death from a heart attack, but the police directly said it was a homicide. Anyone who heard this would be shocked and suspicious, especially since he was the first person to discover the scene, and he might even be treated as the criminal!

"Yeah, did you call us here because you suspect the teacher was killed by us? It's obvious that this happened because the teacher didn't have time to take medicine." Takahashi Yota said with dissatisfaction.

"Yes, Mr. Kawamoto did die because he didn't have time to take his medicine." Tsushima's voice intervened, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

"Then you still..."

"But someone took away his lifeline when he was ill. No, it should be said that he took away his last hope of survival."

Takahashi Yota was interrupted by Tsushima in the middle of his question.

The woman's unquestionable words and sharp gaze shocked Takahashi, who was about to say something. He stopped talking and tried to open his mouth several times but couldn't make a sound. He just stood there sweating.

"Who is it? Who killed my father! Tell me, tell me who the murderer is!!!" A hoarse shout came from the door. The owner of the voice was Kawamoto Aoi who had woken up from a coma.

After she woke up, she went straight to the crime scene. Unexpectedly, she heard what Tsushima had just said. Her heart suddenly felt like it was being cut by a knife.

Everyone watched as Kawamoto Aoi entered the scene and headed straight for where Tsushima was.

Her eyes were red, her face was ferocious, and she grabbed Tsushima's arms with both hands, begging in a sad voice, "Tell me who it is?"

Kawamoto Aoi's action was too sudden, and Morifushi Takami and Midorikawa Hikaru, who were some distance away, failed to stop her in time, while Tsushima himself just stood there and allowed the other party to grab him.

At this moment, Kawamoto Aoi's mood was obviously not right. The death of her father was too much of a blow to her, and she was unable to get out of the intense emotions. She didn't realize how hard she was holding on to the person, and she was only thinking about who the murderer was who killed her loved one.

From the shyness when we first met, to the hideousness, sadness, and the resentment and hatred that cannot be hidden now.

The blow of losing her only relative was too great for her, so great that there was no place for Aoi Kawamoto in the world.

At the same time, she felt endless regret. She shouldn't have run out of the house after quarreling with her father in the morning, she shouldn't have stepped out of the house, and she shouldn't have argued about those things.

It's too late.
