Chapter 193 161. A trendy conversation (please vote for me)
After walking out of the villa gate, the first thing that caught my eye was the eager and anxious faces of Yamashiro Taro and Jiang Wenkan.
"Hi~! Mr. Shanbai, why are you here?" Li Dang grinned, pretending to be unaware, and waved enthusiastically, "This is a major At the scene of the fire incident, it is better for those not involved to leave as soon as possible."
"You bastard...!" Shan Bai roared and rushed forward, grabbing Li Ming's collar with his big hands, his veins bulging. rise.
Li Dang still had that careless expression. He stretched out his right hand and gently patted the waist area covered by his coat, his attitude was a bit playful.
"Huh? Mr. Shan Bai, the crime scene refuses entry to unrelated persons and suspects. This is a rule that has been set all along. I just follow the rules." Then, he put his lips close to Shan Bai's ear and whispered. , "By the way, Mr. Shanbai, the crime of assaulting a police officer But it's a serious crime. Although you are an important witness, we can only deal with this matter in a formal manner."
Shan Bai's clenched hand firmly grasped Li Ming's collar, and it took a long time to wait. He let go and adjusted his clothes on his own, his voice was a little low.
"So can I go in now? Does your Metropolitan Police Department not even allow relatives to see the deceased?"
"Of course it is allowed, but not now."
< br>Li Gan dusted off his clothes, waved to Yuan Qingyu and others, and then raised his feet to leave.
"Mr. Shanbai, after analysis by the Metropolitan Police Department, we suspect that you have a close connection with the case and decided to name you as a suspect."
"But given that you came from the United States to serve you My parents held a funeral. For this reason, before the funeral, we I won’t embarrass you; but after the funeral, if you don’t provide us with sufficient evidence to prove your innocence, then don’t blame us for keeping things official.”
After saying these words, Li Dake. Regardless of Shan Bai's reaction, he left the scene without mercy.
“You still said you were not seeking revenge?”
When they left a place far away from the crime scene, Yuan Qingyu bumped Li Ming with her elbow and said in a joking tone.
"How could you come up with something like this when the suspect is asked to provide evidence to prove his innocence? The law stipulates that evidence produced under such circumstances is invalid. You clearly don't want to make it easier for Yamashiro Taro."
“It doesn’t matter, Baimeng World, even if I violate the rules It won't affect my reality." Li Dang sneered, "He can choose to find a lawyer, but conventional understanding is that the suspect is not necessarily guilty, and I have not found him guilty, so it is not illegal."
"You... are so perfect." Yuan Qingyu showed an expression of approval.
“That’s right.”
Li Ming waved his hand and stopped not far from the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Then, I think we have to go our separate ways. Saito, you and Ms. Okamoto should go back to the Metropolitan Police Department first. Mr. Minamoto Seitama and I will go investigate the suspicious person mentioned by Yamashiro Taro."
< br>"Do you need to accompany me? The death of Shan Baimeng in the fire has attracted much attention from society. I am worried that something bad will happen to you during the investigation. Saito hesitated, a worried look appeared on his cheeks, "Although I am not a very strong fighter, but..."
"No need, I can understand your worries, Saito . ”
Li Ming straightened his slightly messy hair and responded with a lot of kindness, but soon returned to his usual cold expression.
“I hope that there will be as few people as possible in this operation. It is precisely because of the high level of public concern that our Metropolitan Police Department cannot send out large-scale operations to expose the whereabouts, in case the clips are intercepted, edited and posted online by some thoughtful people. , it’s not good.”
"Online public opinion is the most powerful weapon in this era." Li Min pursed his lips, considered his speech and then said, "Any unfounded thing only needs a short essay to make a person fall to the bottom."
"That's right...then be careful." Saito hesitated, but soon gave in.
Before leaving, Miss Okamoto put the satchel strap back on her shoulder, held up the keychain and smiled slightly: "Mr. Li Ming, please don't die, I remember you want to invite me I came here to eat.”
“Of course I won’t forget it.” Li Ming nodded silently.
After watching the two people leave, the young man thought of something and suddenly touched the elbow of the dream science expert beside him: "I suddenly thought of a question. White dreams like this in the past are basically It will affect reality, so will the memories with these people in the dream...will be reflected in reality? ”
"Normally no, this kind of experience will only enter the mind as a potential memory. Unless they are deliberately reminded, they will not think of this past at all." Yuan Qingyu paused and said nothing.
"Oh..."
Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, like floating bubbles exploding, he remembered what he had to do next, which was to go to the drug company owned by the Kurosawa Zaibatsu to find Kurosawa Mika's father, Kurosawa Nao. Shu chats about the details of the fire incident.
I wonder if I will meet Kurosawa from three years ago here, and I will be able to see my familiar friend as a child - although it is not a child, it is really exciting to think about it...< br>
No...what exactly do you find exciting?
Why does this idea always feel a bit strange?
After searching for entries about Kurosawa Naoki and pharmaceuticals on his mobile phone, Li Ming found a keyword called "Kurosawa Chemicals".
Kurosawa Chemical is a company mainly engaged in the production of pharmaceutical raw materials, focusing on the production of neurological, anesthetic and psychotropic drugs. It is an important partner of several major pharmaceutical companies in Japan.
Naoki Kurosawa, the president of Kurosawa Chemical, is the main force of the Kurosawa Zaibatsu. He graduated from Stanford University in the United States with a major in chemical engineering and later studied for an MBA. His photos can be found on the website. An elegant man with a sloping back and gold-rimmed glasses.
The Kurosawa Chemical Office Building is located on the edge of Ikebukuro District, about 20 kilometers away from the crime scene. After passing a river along the highway, you can see a building with the Kurosawa Chemical logo among the buildings in the forest.
After Li Dang and Yuan Qingyu signed their names at the doorman, they came to the lobby on the first floor of the building. The decoration style here is simple. There is only a female staff member in her twenties at the reception desk, and there are some acrylic billboards on the walls. , introducing the company's business philosophy and main products.
“Kurosawa Chemical’s main products are pharmaceutical raw materials, especially in the production of neurological anesthetics and psychotropic drugs. It is the main manufacturer of these types of drugs in Japan.” Yuan Qingyu thought silently, if He nodded thoughtfully.
Li Dang raised his eyebrows, came to the reception desk, and knocked on the table casually, attracting the attention of the female staff.
"Hello, this is Haruko Daido, the receptionist at the Kurosawa Chemical Times Building. What can I do for you?"
"I have something urgent and I want to see Mr. Naoki Kurosawa. Is he here?"
When Li Ming introduced his purpose, he did not reveal his identity as a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department. It's a vague statement. For such a large company, it is better to be polite before fighting.
"President Kurosawa is currently working upstairs." Daido looked businesslike, then she picked up the phone at the reception desk, pressed a few numbers on it, and then put the receiver to her ear , "Let me contact you first, Please wait."
"Okay."
Li Ming agreed happily, putting his hands in his pockets to fumble for the thick certificate, wondering what to do next. Kurosawa Naoki revealed the facts of the case.
The phone was quickly picked up. Da Dao covered the phone and whispered while raising his eyes to look up and down at the uninvited guest in front of him.
"Can you tell me your name? Because I need to register here, and tell me what I want to see President Kurosawa for."
"Li Bian. "The young man squinted his eyes.
"So what about the matter?" Dao Dao reminded him tirelessly, "The president is currently preparing for an important meeting. If there is no legitimate reason, he will not see you for the time being. I hope you understand, but you can receive him first. Leave your contact information here."
"Tokyo Police Department. Hall, Li Ming." The young man answered the question of the woman at the reception desk again in a cold tone, "Have you heard about the fire incident? After investigation, we found that Mr. Kurosawa had a close relationship with the deceased Yamashiro Meng, so I came here to talk to Mr. Kurosawa just in case.”
The expression on Dao Dao's face did not change, but his voice became lower and lower.
Just when a few people were waiting impatiently, a woman wearing an OL uniform walked out of the elevator on one side with a professional smile on her face.
"You guys are from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department... President Kurosawa welcomes you, so he specially sent me to take you up. Please follow me."
Interesting .
Under the guidance of the secretary, Li Dang and Yuan Qingyu met Kurosawa Naoki in an office. He was a middle-aged man about 50 years old, with his hair combed back and wearing a The gold-rimmed glasses make him look very smart.
"Are you two from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? Welcome." Then he showed a sad expression, "As a friend of Yamashiro Yume... I am very sad about his death. From now on, the pharmaceutical and chemical industry The loss of a pillar is a huge loss for the entire industry. "
"Please forgive me. In addition, I am a little curious about your relationship with Mr. Shanbai. Can you tell me the truth?" Li Ming sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and tasted it elegantly. The secretary brought the coffee over with a friendly smile on his face.
"Of course, you are from the Metropolitan Police Department, do I still have a reason to refuse your question?" Kurosawa Naoki said with a smile, "I have a long-term cooperative relationship with Yamashiro Yume, generally Shan Bai Meng is responsible for the research, and I am responsible for the promotion and large-scale production of the drug. "Can you please disclose the revenue sharing between you and Shan Bai Meng?" Yuan Qingyu said. Take out a notebook and record it on it.
“Sorry, this is a business secret and I cannot disclose it.” Kurosawa Naoki smiled apologetically.
Li Ming squinted his eyes and continued to drink coffee leisurely: "Then let's not talk about this issue for now. I want to ask...have you had any contact with Shanbai Meng recently?"
"Are you asking for my alibi? You can ask my secretary and staff at any time. Because Mr. Shanbai has been busy with academic conferences recently, I have not been able to meet him. Even if I wanted to, There’s no time for an appointment.”
Kurosawa sighed.
"That's the case with Mr. Shanbai. He will always be at the forefront of academic research. Now when I hear the news of his death... I'm really... I'm really sad."
Although Kurosawa Naoki in front of him has been wiping tears and expressing his sadness, Li Ming still saw some clues from it.
Li Ming raised his eyebrows and did not dig deeper: "The dead cannot be resurrected, Mr. Kurosawa. If this fire case can be solved, it will be the greatest help to Mr. Shanbaimeng." He paused, "You and Has Mr. Shanbai ever had any conflicts? "
"Mr. Shanbai and I cooperate very closely, and even if there are conflicts, they can always be resolved through negotiation. " Kurosawa wiped his tears.
"I heard that Mr. Shan Bai is currently developing a drug to treat Alzheimer's disease, namely Talinthiazole. Do you know about this?" Li Yan narrowed his eyes, "So What do you think of this drug?”
“I have signed a contract with Mr. Shanbai, and I hope that I can take full responsibility for the patient’s treatment in the future. According to the production contract, I will also pay the profits within the scope to Mr. Yamashiro’s family as usual. I sincerely hope that this cooperation can continue.”
Naoki Kurosawa gave a formal answer, At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang. He lowered his head apologetically, and then stood up: "I'm going to answer a call. Please wait a moment."
Li Ming nodded and did not pursue the matter further.
"Naoki Kurosawa, the father of Mitsuka Kurosawa..." Li Mo murmured to himself, not knowing what he was thinking. At the same time, he also focused his attention near the door, hoping to hear The contents of Kurosawa's phone call.
"Chemical plant...trouble...theft..."
Can vaguely hear such terms, Kurosawa frowned, his tone was anxious and anxious, and then pressed hang up After pressing the button on the phone, he adjusted his suit and waved to the secretary on the side.
"I'm very sorry, gentlemen... I have something important to deal with now, it's about the chemical plant, so I'll excuse you first. If you gentlemen have nothing important to do, you can always be here. Waiting for my return, you are welcome here at any time.”
It was obvious that these were kind words.
Li Dang nodded slightly and continued to sit on the sofa indifferently, sipping coffee. He looked around, trying to find something worth noting.
After Kurosawa Naoki left, he and Minamoto Seitama were the only two people left in the office.
"Have you found anything?"
"Kurosawa Naoki is lying. Regarding the issue of contact with Yamashiro Yume, his expression and behavior do not seem to be elaborating. Fact." Li Ming rubbed his hands, "People's micro-expressions can express their inner thoughts." (End of this chapter)
