white night syndrome

Chapter 209 177. The spiral of the case, passionate and entangled (seeking monthly ticket)

After learning that Sato Masaharu was Yamashiro Yume's assistant, Shirai Kuranosuke expressed regret for a while, thinking that talents like him should not be buried because of Yamashiro Yume's death. During the exchange, he gradually recognized his Ability, and introduced to him in detail a project that he had previously cooperated 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 in the grass", and making a prompt decision was 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, the terrifying dead body Still vivid in his mind, 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 kind of big scene 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 acting.”

"It's not the first time I've met, it's just Professor Shirai... He is like a benefactor in my heart. He was talking and laughing with me one day, but he died at the door of his house the next day, still with his hands flat on his face. I really couldn't control my emotions behind the scenes of death, it was really scary..."

Sato said with lingering fear, his face was as white as paper, and it could be seen that the shadow in his heart could not be erased from this experience.

You should be able to guess what happens next——

For a moment, an inexplicable fear hit his heart. The death of Yamashiro Yume - his teacher - and the death of Shirai Kuranosuke - his benefactor - made Sato feel vaguely What kind of nightmare have you fallen into?

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 he lied in order not to implicate Kurosawa Naoki. However, due to Li Ming's intimidation, he changed his story every time he lied halfway. .

"So, does Mr. Sato know something about the ten kilograms of drugs stolen from Kurosawa Chemical Plant?" Li Ming turned a page in the notebook in his hand and looked up at the man in front of him. "As an employee of Naoki Kurosawa, you understand The situation should be clearer than us, right?"

"Sorry, I have no idea about this kind of thing." Sato lowered his head, looking like a standard Japanese apology.

"And what about sodium azide?"

"This was Teacher Yamashiro's initial demand. He only said that he needed azide... and did not say the reason." Sato recalled it and said thoughtfully.

"Speaking of the chemical sodium azide, I have another question for you, Uncle Sato." Mikka Kurosawa, who had not spoken much, interrupted at this time, "The transportation of such chemicals needs to be reported to the Metropolitan Police. However, we did not find any registration information in the documents of the Metropolitan Police Department. What is going on?"

"Miss Mihua..." After Sato heard this familiar voice, the first thing he saw when he raised his head was a familiar face. His subconscious reflex 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, which invisibly put unlimited pressure on Sato.

Unfortunately, Sato does not seem to know the details about the azide, 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 chemistry giant like Mr. Yamashiro, how could he commit such a low-level crime? What's wrong? Isn't your Metropolitan Police Department's investigation 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, a police officer behind him suddenly stepped forward, whispered to Li Dang for a moment, and then waved behind him.

"Although you have provided enough clues, I still can't put you into society at present, so the result is detention for the time being. Mr. Sato, do you have any objections?"

"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 begun to throw themselves into the trap. If we don't go to receive them in person... I'm afraid it would be disrespectful."

Cast yourself into the net?

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 for Li Ming or Kurosawa——

President Naoki Kurosawa.

"I heard that Masaharu Sato was captured by you?" Naoki Kurosawa said with an expression mixed with joy, "The company has also just received the investigation results. Regarding the smuggling of hazardous chemicals and theft of drugs, we carefully questioned those employees , the final result was Sato."

"Are you saying that it was Mr. Sato who smuggled hazardous chemicals and stole medicines?"

Li Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at him calmly.To be reasonable, although this guy in front of him is Kurosawa Mika's father, since he knew that he has the same traits as an old fox, Li Ming doesn't really believe in this guy's words.

"That's right, I really didn't expect that a right-hand man I trusted so much would actually undermine my good intentions and then bring such dangerous items into the market. I really feel sad." Naoki Kurosawa covered his chest and said Make a painful expression.

"I can understand how you feel, but... where is the evidence?" Li Min raised his eyebrows, "The evidence collected by our Metropolitan Police Department is absolutely authoritative. It is impossible to listen to the words of some employees who have already discussed the wording. Those lies."

"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 preached without any scruples, 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 that it is ridiculous to use mystery novels as a metaphor.

But you should have heard the saying——

"The so-called reasoning is just to magnify all the details and eliminate all impossibilities. The last one is a fact no matter how incredible it is."

Isn't that what it is now?Besides, if Masaharu Sato is put in it, it will become more smooth. 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 sorrow." Kurosawa Mikka smiled coldly, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said mockingly, "And It's the same as what Li Ming said, we won't listen to some lies that have been worded in advance, what we want to do is to investigate personally."

Is it actually a matter of righteousness and righteousness?
Li Ming couldn't help laughing, he didn't know why seeing this scene in front of him, he felt a little funny.

"Then, regarding the azide issue, has President Kurosawa made any progress?" Li Ming waved his hand to tell Mihua not to be so radical, 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 Masaharu Sato himself!"

"Request 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.”

"Am I right? Officer Li Dang, so arrest that guy quickly! I'm very sad, but the crimes will eventually be brought to justice. I can't push my company to the forefront. All crimes will be punished. There needs to be an outlet.”

...And that outlet 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 adopted 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's 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 sight recently. It turns out that he has already obtained these stolen money. It is really unbearable!
Are the employees I’ve had for so many years all supercilious?I am really, really angry and very sad. Sato Masaharu has been with me for so many years, but he actually..."

"It makes sense logically, but it still feels a little weird. So Mr. Kurosawa, are you willing to confront Mr. Sato in person?" Li Ming asked, pretending to be deep in thought.

"Of course! I have to accuse this white-eyed wolf in front of him! Condemn him! Make his conscience difficult to bear!" Kurosawa Naoki roared.

I have to say, ginger is still old and spicy.

Kurosawa Naoki's acting ability is very good. If Li Ming didn't know his nature well, he would really blindly trust the president in front of him, and he also saw some words in the micro-expressions during the communication process. Evidence of lies.

Although psychological micro-expressions don't seem so evil, they are still more than enough to deal with this kind of 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 testimony that Sato is dissatisfied with Yamashiro Yume on weekdays, believing that Sato committed murder and absconded due to long-standing grievances. And make 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 the Metropolitan Police Department would let him go. leave.

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 trickier.

——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.

After 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 Yamashiro Yume'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 on earth were these two murders accomplished?

This is still a mystery in Li Ming's heart.

Shirakawa's death was probably due to encountering the true face of Kurokage, but there must be other reasons for the deaths of Yamashiro Yume and Shirai Kuranosuke.
