Chapter 209 177. The spiral of the case, passionate and entangled (asking for monthly votes)
After learning that Sato Masaharu was Yamashiro Yume’s assistant, Shirai Kuranosuke expressed regret for a while, thinking that he was like this Talents should not be buried because of Shan Baimeng's death. During the exchange, he gradually recognized his abilities and introduced to him in detail a project he had previously collaborated with Shan Baimeng, hoping that the cooperation could continue through his hands. .
Although it is strange why Professor Shirai would be interested in such an unprofitable project, years of experience in chemistry have made Sato Masaharu aware of the feasibility of this project.
Because the laboratory had been loaned out, Sato Masaharu could only rush to complete the synthesis of a path pheromone dye that night, but this rare success made him feel a little confident.
"What happened next?" Li Ming recorded it in his notebook and looked up at Mr. Sato in front of him.
Speaking of his impression three years later, Li Ming thought Mr. Sato Masaharu was much older. Now it seems that he is actually only seven or eight years older than Li Ming himself, so he is not particularly old.
But about that matter...
Li Ming secretly decided that he would ask alone after all the conversations were over. Now he could no longer adhere to the principle of "not to alert the snake". Making a prompt decision is the rule of action that should be done.
"Later... Later, when I wanted to thank Professor Shirai, I found that Professor Shirai died in the corridor in a horrible and strange way." Sato trembled slightly. Still, the horrific corpse was still vivid in his mind, and trying to control the surging emotions was the best he could do at the moment.
"Is it scary? It's just that the death posture is a bit strange, it's not that scary at all." Forensic doctor Kujo sneered, "Or is it that the posture of the corpse you saw is different from what we saw?"
"Forensic Doctor Kujo, please don't judge others with your ideas. What big scenes have you never seen?" Li Ming smiled and joked, "I think this is Mr. Sato's first time seeing a corpse, so he showed it." It doesn’t look like the one he acted.”
“It’s not the first time I’ve seen him, but Professor Shirai... he is a benefactor in my heart. An ordinary existence, who was chatting and laughing with me one day, died at the door of my house the next day, with his hands flat behind his back. I really couldn't control my emotions. It was really scary... ..."
Sato said with lingering fear, his face as white as a sheet of paper. It was obvious that this experience had left an indelible shadow in his heart.
You should be able to guess what happened next——
In an instant, an inexplicable fear struck his heart, the death of Shan Baimeng——his teacher. , the death of Shirai Kuranosuke, his benefactor, made Sato feel that he was vaguely trapped in some kind of nightmare.
In fear, Sato asked Kurosawa Naoki to resign.
Unexpectedly, Kurosawa Ueki readily agreed, and also gave him a sum of money as compensation for his many years of work, which moved him very much.
After accepting the money, Sato fled Ikebukuro.
In fact, during the interrogation process, Sato had been trying his best to conceal his relationship with Shirai Cangnokai, and lied in order not to implicate Kurosawa Naoki. However, due to Li Ming's intimidation, every time he lied Halfway through, he changed his mind.
"So, does Mr. Sato know something about the ten kilograms of drugs stolen from Kurosawa Chemical Plant?" Li Ming turned the page of the notebook in his hand and looked up at the man in front of him, "As Naoto Kurosawa, do you Shu’s employees should know the situation better than us, right?”
"Sorry, I have no idea about this kind of thing." Sato lowered his head, looking like a standard Japanese apology.
"What about azide?"
"This was Teacher Yamashiro's initial demand. He only said that he needed azide... and did not say the reason." Sato recalled it. , said Shen Shen.
"Speaking of the chemical sodium azide, I have another question to ask you, Uncle Sato." Mikka Kurosawa, who had been silent, interrupted at this time, "This chemical is transported It is necessary to report to the Metropolitan Police Department, but we did not find a registration report in the documents of the Metropolitan Police Department. What's going on?"
"Miss Mihua..." After Sato heard the familiar voice, the first thing he saw when he raised his head was a familiar face. His subconscious condition In response, he immediately lowered his head and said hesitantly, "This..."
"Mr. Sato, I hope you can cooperate with us, because Mr. Yamashiro died of hydrohydrazide acid poisoning. If you provide us with enough clues, the truth about your teacher's death will also be revealed. The clues you provide are the most critical, at least for now."
Li Ming was followed by a group of people belonging to the Metropolitan Police Department, as well as Kurosawa Mitsuka and Minamoto Seitama, and was invisibly given to Sato. Infinite pressure.
Unfortunately, Sato does not seem to know the details about the azide compound, and he does not seem to be lying.
However, Sato showed doubts about the results informed by Li Ming.
"What did you just say? The teacher died of hydrohydrazide acid poisoning? How is it possible? Anyone knows that azide cannot come into contact with acid, let alone a great figure in chemistry like Mr. Yamashiro. How could you make such a low-level mistake? Is your investigation by the Metropolitan Police a bit sloppy?”
"So you mean to question us?" Forensic Doctor Kujo showed an annoyed expression. Being questioned about her ability to work was probably the most annoying behavior for her.
"Be patient, be patient, be patient, Mr. Sato has not personally experienced the testing process, and it is normal to have doubts about the results."
At this moment, behind him, A police officer suddenly walked forward, whispered to Li Dang for a moment, and then waved behind him.
“Although you have provided enough clues, I still cannot put you into society at present, so I will temporarily detain you as a result. Mr. Sato, do you have any objection?”
“ I..."
"By the way, I forgot. You are not yet qualified to refute our decision. After the incident is over, if the matter really has nothing to do with you, we will definitely compensate you well."
Li Ming said this, turned around and left.
"Kurosawa, Minamoto Seitama, let's go. Some people have already started to throw themselves into a trap. If we don't go to receive them in person... I'm afraid it would be out of character."
Throwing yourself into a trap?
Kurosawa and Yuan Qingyu looked at each other, but they followed Li Ming calmly out of here and came to the reception hall of the Metropolitan Police Department.
As soon as he entered the hall, the first thing that caught his eye was that familiar shadow, whether it was Li Ming or Kurosawa - President Naoki Kurosawa.
“I heard that Masaharu Sato was captured by you?” Naoki Kurosawa said with an expression of joy, “The company has also just received the investigation results regarding the smuggling of hazardous chemicals and theft of medicines. We questioned carefully After smuggling those employees, the final result was Sato. "
"Are you saying that it was Mr. Sato who smuggled hazardous chemicals and stole drugs? "
Li Ming raised his eyebrows. , looked at him calmly. To be honest, although the guy in front of him was Kurosawa Mitsuka's father, since he knew that he had the same characteristics as an old fox, Li Ming didn't quite believe in this guy's words.
"Yes, I really didn't expect that a right-hand man I trusted so much would actually undermine my good intentions and then introduce such dangerous items into the market. I really feel sad." Kurosawa Nao Shu held his chest and made a painful expression.
"I can understand your feelings, but...where is the evidence?" Li Dang raised his eyebrows, "The evidence collected by our Metropolitan Police Department is absolutely authoritative. It is impossible to follow some already discussed Those lies told by the speaking staff."
"But... ...Don’t you think this is strange? And once we put Sato Masaharu into the blocked case reasoning, everything will become smoother.”
President Kurosawa acted without any scruples. He preached, even when faced with his daughter's disgusted expression, he just pretended not to know.
"You must have read some mystery novels, right? Although I know it is ridiculous to use mystery novels as a metaphor.
But you must have heard of that sentence——
< br>"The so-called reasoning is nothing more than magnifying all the details and eliminating all impossibilities. The last one is a fact no matter how incredible it is."
Isn't this the case now? Moreover, if Masaharu Sato is included in it, it will become more fluent. Do you still think I am talking nonsense? "
"President Kurosawa, don't you think you are a little too excited? A little too excited... You just expressed your pain clearly. "Kurosawa Mika smiled coldly, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said mockingly, "As Li Ming said, we will not listen to some lies that have been worded in advance. What we have to do is to investigate in person. ”
Is it actually a matter of righteousness and righteousness?
Li Dang couldn't help laughing. He didn't know why he felt a little funny when he saw the scene in front of him.
"So, regarding the matter of azide, is there any progress from President Kurosawa?" Li Ming waved his hand to tell Mihua not to be so extreme and continued to ask.
"Are you talking about those dangerous drugs? I'm really sorry. I didn't know about it before. I didn't know about it at all before. It was Sato Masaharu's decision that he made privately!" President Naoki's voice became passionate. "Don't you want evidence? The evidence is the application list written by Sato Masaharu himself!"
"Application list?"
Li Ming pursed his lips. He turned his head and glanced at the police officer behind him. The man stepped forward knowingly and said in a small but clear voice: "After handwriting identification, that list The handwriting on it is indeed written by Mr. Sato, there is no doubt about it."
"I. Is that true? Officer Li Dang, so arrest that guy quickly! I am very sad, but the crime will be brought to justice. I cannot push my company to the forefront. All crimes must be punished. A vent. "
...And that vent is Masaharu Sato, right?
Li Ming was originally a little suspicious of Sato, but now it seems that his attitude towards Sato is only pitiful and pity, and he has a more aggressive attitude towards the president in front of him.
"So..."
Just as Li Ming was about to say something, the forensic doctor behind him stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, then whispered for a moment and then left.
Kujo Sakurako seems to have something important to do. It feels like all the scattered clues have been gathered together. Will there finally be a breakthrough in the case?
"Then I would like to ask, have you given Mr. Sato a huge amount of cash?" Li Ming asked tentatively, but he did not say it clearly.
"What? There is still cash!?"
Kurosawa Naoki's voice suddenly became angry, and he almost roared to vent his negative emotions.
"This is obviously Sato's illegal income from selling ten kilograms of medicine! I said no wonder he hasn't appeared in my field of vision recently. It turns out that he has already obtained the stolen money. It is really unbearable!
I Are all the employees I’ve been working with for so many years a white-eyed wolf? I am really, really angry and sad. Sato Masaharu has been with me for so many years, and he actually..."
"It makes sense logically, but it always feels a little weird. So Mr. Kurosawa, Are you willing to confront Mr. Sato in person?" Li Ming asked, pretending to be thoughtful.
"Of course! I must accuse this white-eyed wolf in front of him! Condemn him! Make his conscience difficult to deal with!" Kurosawa Naoki roared.
I have to say that ginger is still spicy.
Kurosawa Naoki's acting ability is very good. If Li Yan hadn't been familiar with his nature, he would have blindly believed in the president in front of him, and during the communication process, he also saw some words from the micro-expressions. Evidence of lies.
Although the psychological micro-expressions do not seem so evil, it is more than enough to deal with this old fox.
The result is obvious and expected——
Even in a face-to-face confrontation, Kurosawa Naoki can produce a lot of evidence against Sato Masaharu, and can also provide Sato with Testimonies that are usually dissatisfied with Yamashiro Yume believe that Sato committed murder and absconded due to long-standing grievances, and made ill-gotten gains by reselling medicines.
Sato refuted this, but in the end he could not resist this old fox. There was no solid evidence for anything he said. In the end, he could only shout that he did not do it, and hoped that he did not do it. The Metropolitan Police can let him go.
The final decision was still consistent with Li Ming's style. He designated both of them as criminal suspects and detained them without distinction.
It’s getting more and more difficult.
——But this also means that the investigation of the case is about to reach its climax.
The spiral of the case is exciting and entangled.
Through previous investigations, Li Ming has basically determined that there is a connection between Shirai Kuranosuke's death and Shirakawa's death, and can then judge that Yamabai Meng's death is also related to it.
And this connection is probably because of something in the Yamashiro family, that is, the dark shadow in the mouth of firefighter Shota.
But what is the shadow?
How were these two murders accomplished?
This is still a mystery in Li Dang's heart.
Shirakawa's death was probably due to encountering the true face of the black shadow, but there must be other reasons for the deaths of Yamashiro Yume and Shirai Kuranosuke.
