Conan's Devil Child Comes to the World

Chapter 389 The Detective Who Takes the Blame
"You...don't look at me like this, I'm really not a murderer, I just recruited them all..."

Facing the scrutinizing eyes of Police Officer Mumu and the others, the middle-aged man had no power to resist, and hastily told what he knew in detail.

The middle-aged man in front of him, his name is Saburo Yamashita, is Chang Ben's general manager secretary.

Last month, the general manager discovered that the reserve funds in the company had been secretly embezzled. In order to find out the criminal who embezzled public funds, the general manager ordered Sanlang Yamashita to secretly investigate the matter.

So Saburo Yamashita found the detective Nakajo Katsunori and entrusted him to help find the criminal who embezzled public funds.

In the building where Suzuki Seimei and the others lived, the eighth to eleventh floors were all owned by Changben, so Saburo Yamashita invited Katsunoka Nakajo to meet at a nearby coffee shop.

According to Saburo Yamashita's previous agreement, Katsushika Nakajo will hand over the criminal evidence to him as soon as he finds the criminal evidence of the criminal, and he will hand over the final payment to Katsunori Nakajo at that time.

It's just that what Saburo Yamashita didn't expect was that Katsu Nakajo not only had no professional ethics, but was also very greedy for money.

After finding the criminal's criminal evidence, Nakajo Katsuki did not immediately hand over the criminal evidence to Saburo Yamashita, but instead found the criminal who embezzled public funds.

When the criminal who embezzled public funds learned that his crime had been exposed, he wanted to pay double the price to buy back the criminal evidence.

The greedy Nakajo Katsuki was still dissatisfied. In turn, he called Yamashita Saburo, told the prisoner that he was going to spend double the price, and told Yamashita Saburo about buying out the criminal evidence.

Because Saburo Yamashita had already boasted to his boss that the criminal who embezzled public funds would definitely be caught today, so after receiving a call from Saburo Yamashita, he directly increased the commission by four times.

Although Nakajo Katsuki is greedy for money, he is not a fool.

If Nakajo chooses to make deals with criminals, he may be able to earn more money in a short period of time, but in the long run, it will be a very loss-making thing.

First of all, the criminals' money is often stolen money, which can easily bring unnecessary trouble to Nakajo Katsuzo.

Secondly, in order to earn more entrustment money, choosing to make deals with criminals will only make Nakajo Katsunori's reputation worse, and gradually no one will entrust him.

Therefore, Katsushika Nakajo never really wanted to make a deal with the criminal from the very beginning. He just wanted to use the deal proposed by the criminal as an excuse to force the client to take the initiative to increase the price of the commission!
It's a pity that Katsushi Nakajo forgot a truth, that is-the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry!
Knowing that his criminal evidence was in the hands of Nakajo Katsunori, and he was about to hand over the evidence to Saburo Yamashita, the criminal who embezzled public funds, and finally chose to take the risk.

Katsushi Nakajo didn't expect that the criminal dared to kill in public, and he stabbed him in the abdomen with a kitchen knife unsuspectingly.

Although Nakajo resisted desperately, the criminal evidence contained in the file bag was snatched away by the criminal, leaving only a torn file bag.

"In this case, the murderer who killed Mr. Zhongjo should be the employee who embezzled your company's public funds."

Police Officer Megure learned the cause and effect of the incident from Saburo Yamashita, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yamashita, do you have any suspects? People in your company who are qualified to embezzle public funds should not Will it be too much?"

According to Officer Megure's thinking, since employees can embezzle the company's public funds, at least it should be the middle and high-level figures in the company, so that a large number of suspects can be eliminated.

"That...Actually, a week ago, Mr. Nakajo made a list of employees in our company who were more suspected of embezzling public funds."

After finishing his sentence, Saburo Yamashita took out a list from his briefcase and handed it to Police Officer Megure: "This is the list he gave me. There are a total of 58 names on it."

"Five people?!"

When Officer Mu Mu and the others heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched, and they all showed speechless expressions.

"This detective is too foolish!"

Suzuki Seimei couldn't help complaining: "The 58 suspects, he probably wrote all the names of your company's employees on this list, right?"

Listening to Suzuki Seimei's complaints, Conan and Mao Lilan couldn't help shaking their heads.

I have to say that Katsushika Nakajo is really screwed!

Perhaps it was because Saburo Yamashita entrusted a detective for help for the first time, and he didn't know much about the private detective industry, so he was fooled by Katsunori Nakajo.

For example, the list of suspects brought out by Saburo Yamashita has 58 suspects on it. It looks very powerful, but it is actually used to fool laymen.

You must know that the total number of employees of the company is only more than 300.

Excluding those cleaning personnel, security personnel, and low-level employees who have no contact with the company's reserve funds, there are only a few dozen suspects at most.

Therefore, the list of suspects that Katsushi Nakajo handed over to Saburo Yamashita is actually useless at all. Just find someone to investigate, and you can easily get a similar list of suspects.

If a professional detective like Katsunoru Nakajo really wanted to give Saburo Yamashita a list of suspects, the number of people on the list would not exceed five at most.

Combined with Katsushi Nakajo's move to raise the price after he found the criminal evidence, Seimei Suzuki has reason to suspect that he deliberately did not give Saburo Yamashita a useful list of suspects in order to prevent Saburo Yamashita from finding the real criminal, so that he would not Well, let's sit down and raise the price again.

To a certain extent, Nakajo's brutal murder was entirely his own fault.

If Katsushi Nakajo didn't have the idea of ​​sitting on the ground and raising the price, he could have told Saburo Yamashita the name of the criminal first when he called Saburo Yamashita, and then handed over the criminal evidence to Saburo Yamashita when the two met. .

If it was Katsushika Nakajo, he would tell Saburo Yamashita the name of the criminal in advance. Even if the criminal was forced to jump over the wall, at most he would choose to flee the country, or simply surrender himself, instead of risking killing people.

However, Katsushi Nakajo not only did not tell others the name of the criminal, but also prepared only a manuscript of the criminal evidence in order to make a better price. Isn't that forcing the criminal to kill him?

Katsushi Nakajo died tragically under the knife of the murderer, which may be sympathetic, but it is not wronged.

A detective like Katsunoka Nakajo who doesn't pay attention to professional ethics, even if he didn't die in the hands of criminals this time, he will die in the hands of other criminals sooner or later.
