Chapter 200: Maori's Self-Statement
Den. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Faint electronic sounds, coming from a quaint radio.
At first, two people were deliberating.
Soon the two began to quarrel.
Three or four minutes later, the two men fought.
A minute later, two muffled sounds rang out, one from someone banging their head on the table, and one from someone falling to the ground.
"Near, Kin, what's wrong with him......"
β...... Probably dead. β
There was silence for about half a minute.
The sound of hurried footsteps gradually became clear, it was someone approaching, and then pushed the door open.
"Ah, there'sβ"
Soon, a muffled snort was heard, the man was knocked unconscious, his body was dragged into the room, and the door was closed again.
β...... Young Master Guangfu, what are you doing here?"
"What are you doing in a daze? Grab a hand! Drag him to the cupboard!"
β...... No, wait, Young Master Guangfu, it was just an accident just now, we can explain it, you don't have to be so ruthless......"
"Explain what! Didn't you see his expression!"
"That's just that he doesn't know the truth, Master Mitsuo......"
"Whoever sees this scene will think that a thousand years were killed by the two of us, and no one will believe that it was just an accident...... Omi, help me drag his body out and bury it, otherwise his death will affect the reputation of both of us!"
β......β
It was the sound of an object being dragged across the floor again, but after a second, the sound of shredding faded away, and the sound of a person's footsteps became clearer and the sound of gasping became more and more severe.
The two of them walked out of the study one after the other, and one of them had a corpse on his back.
The door was shut.
It's all over.
Kogoro Mori pressed the switch on the radio.
"I believe that this tape has made it clear what happened before and after the case. He said, "Do you have any questions?"
He was answered by silence.
The others looked at each other.
They are not without doubts, but ...... There are so many questions that I don't know where to start.
"Excuse me, Detective Maori, where did you get this tape?"
In the end, it was Omi who was the first to break the silence, he frowned, staring at the tape recorder with a very complicated expression.
"Well, I shouldn't have told you about this because it was about the privacy of the client, but now that Mr. Ichijo is dead...... Mori Kogoro shook his head helplessly, "I'll naturally tell you everything I know." β
He looked up at Omi with a somewhat serious expression.
"This tape was just made by me to go to a professional store to make it easier for you to hear, and I heard it from a bug. β
"βDon't get me wrong, it's not me doing it, but Mr. Ichijo installed it in the study from the beginning. β
Of course, some people may feel that the argument of installing a bug in their own study is untenable. But if ...... If there is some kind of ominous premonition at the beginning, then the state of affairs will have to be another matter. β
Mori Kogoro let out a breath, took out a stack of photos from his arms, and handed them to Omi.
Omi subconsciously took it, and when he flipped through the photo, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle more and more.
"This is ......" he looked up and looked at Maori Kogoro's face with a little annoyance, "You're following me?"
"Ahem. Maori Kogoro immediately coughed two or three times in embarrassment, "I received a commission a few days ago, and his purpose is to let me follow you and investigate you, and it is also my duty to take these photos...... You know the nature of the detective's job, so don't be surprised that I'm showing you all the pictures. β
"Don't dare. Omi's brow gradually relaxed, "But I'm curious what Mr. Ichijo is investigating me for......? Will I kill him in a few days?"
"No, he just told me......" Mori Kogoro paused when he said this, and then looked at Omi and then at Twilight on the side, "You are probably the murderer who did it to Deputy Ozaki and killed those people one after another......"
Swish!
All eyes were on Omi at the same time, but after a second, most of them looked at Kyushu again.
Mori Kogoro coughed and spoke again.
"To be honest, there have been rumors that the murderer is this ...... Ahem...... Kyushu, so when I first heard the news, I didn't understand why Ichijo thought Omi was the murderer and asked me to investigate him. β
"I followed Omi for a few days, but I didn't find anything, and when I reported the results to Ichijo, his mood was not as calm as I thought. β
"He muttered vague syllables and looked terrified, but after less than half a minute he reverted to his old self, apologized to me, and told me to go back. β
"I received a million commission from him, but the doubts in my heart are still unsolved, and I didn't expect him to call me over again today. He took me to a hotel where we talked about things. β
"He said something might happen tonight β Omi approached him and said he'd come with Mitsuo Ozaki in the evening β and he repeated it to me three times, and the third time he muttered 'I'm going to be killed, I'm his next target, we did that to him, and he won't forgive us...... He spoke quickly, but that's pretty much what he meant. β
"Ichijo entrusted me to protect him, but after talking to myself for a long time, he said that it was too conspicuous. He gave me a headset, and he told me that it was wirelessly connected to the bugging device in his study, so that I could hear the movement in the study, and if there was any change, I must rush to rescue him. Of course, I couldn't hear anything from the study until he activated the bugging device, and I was probably very concerned about his privacy, which is why he didn't directly record my monitor. β
"I waited for a long time at the hotel, and when the headphones finally came out, I was there listening and watching. I did hear Mitsuo Ozaki and Ichijo arguing, but since Ichijo had greeted me beforehand and said that this kind of noise was normal, I didn't pay attention to it, and by the time I came to my senses, the accident had already happened unexpectedly. β
"I was rushing downstairs and driving to find one, but I happened to be stuck in a traffic jam, and I could only listen to the words coming from the bugging device while I was in a hurry. β
β...... The next plot development, each of us here can recite it backwards. β
