Chapter 164 Case Progress
It's useless to think like this, so Natsume Shika was asked to go back to participate in the competition first.

Afterwards, a team of criminal policemen in suits hurried in from the gate, and the movements along the way attracted the attention of everyone on the first floor of the building.

Kaoru noticed at a glance a middle-aged criminal policeman holding a portable notebook and questioning passers-by behind the police line. He was an acquaintance of his when he was in the police academy.

"Officer Guimu, long time no see." Yiyi hurriedly stepped forward and said hello.

"Yiyi? Why are you here?" The detective named Gui Mu turned his head and was quite surprised. When he saw Higashino Ryusuke and his party following Kaoru Yiyi, he said with a smile, "However, it looks like you Didn't you come to handle the case?!"

"Well, but it's not important. Officer Katsuragi, what happened here? I heard that the president of Antgawa Company was supposed to give a speech before the competition, but he didn't show up until the competition started."

"Your senses are still as keen as ever." Gui Mu's expression became serious, and he flipped through the small notebook in his hand, "That's right, when we received the report, it was that the president of Antkawa Cheng Yi suddenly disappeared before the speech. After my investigation, I speculated that this might be a retaliatory crime, because during this period of time, Antriver Company has been hated by many people due to a large number of forced layoffs, and some people say that there are many suspicious figures hovering around the company."

"What, layoffs?!" The person who made such an unbelievable voice was Junichi Chono, who looked at Officer Guimu with a strange expression.

Gui Mu looked at Die Ye, who had a head of blond hair permed and looked like a little gangster, feeling a little displeased.But he didn't say anything, but asked one strangely: "One, what's the situation with this one?"

"That's right." Kaoru replied, "His name is Junichi Chono, and he just came to Antgawa Company for an interview today, and he passed."

"Is that so...wait a minute, does Antwerk Company have a job advertisement? Why didn't I hear anything about it in Makuhari?" Katsuragi's doubts still persisted.

Die Ye didn't say anything, but immediately took out the neatly folded recruitment advertisement from his satchel, and showed it to Gui Mu.

"Sure enough." Gui Mu looked at the advertisement flyer in his hand in disbelief, then looked at Die Ye seriously and asked, "This... Mr. Die Ye, where did you receive this advertisement?"

"It's in Saitama."

"It's a long way from Makuhari!"

Five generations wondered: "This is too strange. Why does a company that is laying off a large number of employees recruit new employees? And they are still in other places. It seems that they are deliberately concealing something."

"It seems that things are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface..." After Higashino Ryusuke finished speaking, his heart throbbed again for no reason. Inexplicably, he thought of the figure of Gohara Tadashin in his mind, and then saw in the hallucination I saw a man dressed as a cleaner fleeing secretly to the rooftop with two figures in suits and leather shoes...

He suddenly woke up from these pictures.

Strange, is the lion doing trouble again?But something is wrong, this feels so wrong!
Ryusuke recalled yesterday, although he received a message from Gulangi, the lion, when he was tracking the rose girl, but before that, he seemed to have a premonition that something like this was going to happen, after all...

Before he could continue to think about it, or to verify his conjecture just now, a woman in a professional suit who came out of the elevator came here.

"Officer Guimu." Her eyes were very anxious, but she still asked politely with professionalism: "How is the investigation of the case going?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Aso." Gui Mu bowed solemnly to her and said, "We haven't found out who the murderer is, but what is certain is that the murderer and the hostages are currently inside the Antriver Building."

After finally sending the woman away, Gui Mu sighed, shook his head and said, "These political people are really hard to deal with."

Xunyi asked: "Officer Guimu, is there anything else hidden in the case?"

"What Instructor 'Firefly' said is true, you really have a keen sense of smell like a police dog." Gui Mu smiled and explained with emotion: "The person just now was the secretary of Your Excellency Gohara..."

"It is reported that when President Antgawa disappeared, he was negotiating something with Tadashin Gohara, a new member of the Democratic Progressive Party, but the current situation is that he also disappeared together with President Antgawa. "

Gohara Tadashin!

Suddenly hearing the familiar name, both Kaoru Ichijo and Yusuke Goshiro opened their eyes wide, but Ryusuke Higashino had the idea that it was so.

Only Die Ye Junyi looked here and there in a daze, and didn't react at all to the name of Tadashi Gohara, but it was also true that a person like him who had been "dying to death" had a great deal of respect for society and society. The affairs of the government have long been indifferent.

Higashino Ryusuke frowned, and things became very serious when it came to Gohara Tadashin.

It is still impossible to rule out the possibility that Tadashin Gohara is the lion Gulangi. If the lion is doing things secretly, then there is an explanation for the operation of Yichuan Company to lay off staff and then recruit, but I don’t know what the lion is planning. up.

In the official novel, the original lion Gurangi borrowed the identity of Gohara Tadashin to sit as the vice minister of the Ministry of Transport and Communications, and used his position to collude with a company called "Shengde Pharmaceutical" to launch a drug The organic supplement drink 'Leo Nilu' that is popular in Japan has a remarkable function of relaxing facial muscles, that is, making people smile, and it is drunk by both children and adults.

But in that drink, there are certain special ingredients that will accumulate in people, and when the number of people drinking reaches a certain level, Lion Gulangi can control that ingredient to become a murderous poison.

Although the lion Gulangi was finally stopped in the novel, the number of targets he wanted to kill at the beginning was 1606 million!

However, it can be said that this plan took the lion 13 years to complete. It is less than a year since Gurangji recovered. The lion should not be as exaggerated as in the novel, but it is not ruled out that he will use something similar s method.

Higashino Ryusuke thought about the business scope of Antgawa Company, which is a daily necessities company. He couldn't help scratching his forehead and guessing, this time, will the lion choose to tamper with daily necessities?
"Officer Guimu!" ​​A voice came from upstairs.

Then, a young criminal policeman ran down from upstairs and said out of breath: "Officer Guimu, there is a new discovery in the case. In the monitoring of the warehouse manager, we discovered that a male cleaner was missing in Antchuan President's house." The former finally approached his office!"
