Detached villa

I don't know what exactly Mitarai said to the police in Paris in the end, but I didn't go to the local police station in the end.I may be a little disappointed in my heart, after all, it is a rare thing to be able to enter the police station in Paris.

In order to thoroughly record such a conversation, Officer James and I agreed in advance that we would record the conversation. One is to save the materials for them, and I also want Mitarai to help me translate it afterwards.

It was still the same living room as last time, but there were many more people than before.I don't know how Officer Charlie and Officer James avoided the eyes of the passengers and handcuffed the two girls in the living room when they came here.

"Mr. Mitarai."

When Mitarai and I went downstairs at the respectful invitation of the waiter, after we walked into the room with the police officers, looked at each other, and each chose a sofa we liked to sit down, the waiter also thoughtfully brought tea and tea. drinks.

When James saw us coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted Mitarai and me with a much more respectful attitude than last time.I saw that Charlie still looked very angry, as if he was very unhappy because of being dictated by a layman like Mitarai.

"You think this little girl is the murderer?"

Mitarai intertwined her hands, lying on the red sofa trimmed with gold edging in a very comfortable appearance.

I looked across from where Mitarai was lying, and there were two young girls sitting on the opposite seat.Both Anna and Sofia gave me a different feeling from the girls I met in Japan.

Anna's blond hair was coiled high behind her head, and her slender neck was raised high, like an elegant ballerina.On the other hand, Sophia has black curly hair that hangs down, and her eye sockets seem to have dark circles because she hasn't slept well all year round, as if she has put on heavy makeup.

"Of course." Charlie glanced at Anna who was sitting silently by the side. The latter seemed to be proud, but her eyes were full of tiredness that could not be concealed.

"It's like this, Mr. Mitarai." James leaned forward and deliberately lowered his voice. I saw Mitarai had to bend down and beat James to hear him.

"Based on the line that Fujii built for taking drugs, we found the family who gave him drugs." James sneaked a glance at Anna, "It's that little girl. I really didn't expect that she would drag his boyfriend to the Taking drugs! No wonder Shuzo Fujii wanted to commit suicide.”

"Suicide?" Mitarai snorted coldly, "You have used such important clues, seen all the facts, checked for so many days, and finally came to the conclusion that you committed suicide without thinking? What if the French police are like You are generally inefficient, so I suggest that your people file a complaint with the government, accuse you of inefficient guys, enjoy the wages given by the public, but cannot give satisfactory answers to people. If one day the whole world The police are all like you, then I suggest that all the police should be laid off!"

James blushed after being taught by Mitarai. I could see that he was very eager to refute, but he had to hold back in order to get an answer from Mitarai.

"We asked Anna," James said, "she confessed the drug line, but she still denied that she killed Fujii Shuzo, although the drugs that passed through her hands were enough for her to spend most of her life in prison!"

"It's for this reason that I came to ask you. We all showed her the evidence of fingerprints, hairs, etc., and she even claimed that she hadn't touched that nylon rope that day. How is this possible?" James suppressed his voice Even lower, pointing to the ceiling, "Someone up there is already urging the case to be closed!"

"That's because she wasn't the murderer at all." Mitarai didn't want to talk to Officer James, instead he turned to Anna and asked, "You said you didn't touch her that day?"

"Yes," Anna held her head up, feeling that Mitarai's attitude was quite respectful, "I didn't touch it that day."

"On that day?" James asked back, it seems that Anna emphasized the tone of this word.

"Hey, those guys are smarter now." Mitarai whispered in my ear in Japanese, "What you notice now, you can't pay attention to when you should. You are the same, Ishioka-kun."

Why involve me again?I didn't speak in silence, and after pinching him secretly, I was still quietly making my own background board.

"That's right." Anna replied, "I admit that I took drugs, but I definitely didn't kill Fujii Shuzo. Although I can't say how much I love him, but he provides me with money and satisfaction, why should I kill him?"

Sophia stared at Anna fiercely, expressing her speechless anger.

"What do you mean by day?"

"A few days before Fujii died, he asked me to go to his studio to help pack books because he needed to empty his bookshelves. That's the rope we used to wrap books."

"You didn't lie?" Charlie hurriedly asked this sentence, not forgetting to take a look at Mitarai.

"No."

"It's impossible!" Sophia screamed, "Obviously Fujii bought it that day!"

"How did you know about this? Miss Sophia." Mitarai interrupted.

"I..." Sophia froze for a moment, "I followed what he saw at the time."

"Of course not." Mitarai dismissed, "This case full of deceit and conspiracy is not complicated, but it is not as simple as what you think in your head. From the very beginning, there was a very unreasonable thing in this case. The phenomenon."

"what?"

"The murderer's overthinking," Mitarai answered for us, as if he didn't expect to get an answer from us from the beginning, "The doors and windows are locked, and even the vents are deliberately blocked. Chamber of Secrets, it seems too deliberate."

"That's why you deny suicide?"

Mitarai shook her head, and sank deeper into the sofa: "No, I admit that Fujii committed suicide, and it was a suicide to blame Anna."

Everyone at the scene showed expressions of surprise and even horror, except for me because I couldn't understand, especially Miss Sophia, the two coexisted.

"It doesn't matter if Fujii's spirits are depressed all the time due to drug use, or if he can't meet the expenses, this is the job of your police. But what happened recently may be the reason for his suicide. If Yimen checks carefully, he may be able to find out that he didn't know where he was hiding. Where is the debt or something?"

"No." Sophia was already sobbing and crying at this time, her long black hair covered her face, "Fujii owes money, but it's not that much. But he committed suicide because drugs ruined him! This woman ruined him." Killed him! During this period of time, he couldn’t shoot any good works anymore, and was gradually abandoned by his peers. He said he had no inspiration, was useless, and the money left in his hands was not enough to support his next shoot.”

Mitarai stalls spread their hands, as if to say "Look, here's why".

"Did you hear that? That's the reason." Mitarai nodded towards James, "Then Fujii, who has always been very smart before, thought of committing suicide. He didn't want to kill people, but he didn't want to let Anna live as peacefully as he did before. If he is lucky, he can also arrest the group of people who lured him to take drugs. So he started planning to blame Anna for his suicide."

"The plan is very simple. Fujii didn't do too much to commit suicide, because he really committed suicide, and then made the room into a secret room for this seamless 'suicide'." Mitarai said, " He bought the nylon rope that he needed to commit suicide on the day of the crime in advance, and deliberately fabricated some lies in order to let Anna's fingerprints stay on it, with the purpose of requiring Anna to touch it. However, the first step of this plan cannot be discovered by anyone Anna came to his studio once, didn't she?"

Mitarai asked Anna for the last sentence, and the latter nodded: "I really didn't see the front desk who was there all the time. I thought I picked it up too late."

"In addition to this. Fujii even left Anna's hair on his collar when he committed suicide. From this perspective, he is much more meticulous than your police."

"After preparing these, he will not have to worry about the next thing, because he still has his companion, that is, his ex-girlfriend, Sophia, who has always liked him, and they are accomplices. Originally in Fujii Shuzo's plan , Sophia does not really need to appear on the stage, she is just a backup. However, to Fujii's disappointment, your police are really so useless, and you really plan to define the case as suicide. So, Sophia has to abide by and The purpose of Fujii’s agreement before his death was to turn himself in to the police in a strange way, in order to completely turn the police’s attention from suicide to homicide.”

Sophia was still crying, and even Mitarai's repeated mention of her name was unmoved.

"This time, your police really 'lived up to expectations' and found out about Anna's drug use. There are also various clues, and you finally want to convict Anna of the city murderer."

Mitarai stood up immediately after speaking, with a refreshing and cheerful face, but the irony in his tone was hard to ignore.

"It's such a simple matter, you can leave now." Mitarai bowed to them, "My companion and I still have things to do, I hope you will stop blocking our progress."
