Chapter 123 Adjournment 3 Mototoshiharu and Shimazu Sae
Chapter 123: Adjournment: Sanyuan Shunji and Shimazu Sae
—————April 26, 5:40 p.m.——————
—————Detention Center, Sanyuan Shunji's Room——————
Originally, after meeting Yuan Guang and Yamada Yong, I wanted to ask Sanyuan Shunji.
However, this may be because the procedures in this regard are rather cumbersome.
At that time, Sanyuan Shunji was still in a state that could not be questioned, until now...
Officer Kurosawa then called to inform him that he could come and question Sanyuan Shunji.
"Thank you, Lawyer Xiang Yuan. I thought I was going to be treated as a murderer."
"If we follow the other evidence presented by Attorney Gu Meimen, and impose multiple punishments for multiple crimes..."
"I may end up in jail for the rest of my life. Thank you so much, Lawyer Xiang Yuan."
Sanyuan Shunji in the room said gratefully.
Although, according to Xiang Yuanguang's opinion, his current situation is not much better than going to jail for murder.
At most, it’s the difference between a longer or shorter time in jail.
You'll end up in jail eventually.
The hedgehog-haired lawyer shook his head and turned to ask Sanyuan Shunji.
"According to the information I have learned, you are the first eyewitness."
"Excuse me, did you notice anything different about the crime scene than usual?"
What's different about the crime scene?
Sanyuan Shunji frowned. He thought hard and compared the scene in the office with the scene in his memory.
However, many of the furnishings in the room were difficult to see clearly under the moonlight.
Otherwise, Sanyuan Shunzhi would not have entered the office in the dark and searched for information.
He suddenly discovered the truth about President Shimazu's death and quickly fled the office with the documents.
Suddenly, Sanyuan Junzhi had an idea and he thought of something.
"I remember, I remember...something is missing from the table."
Something is missing... Could it be the murder weapon used by the murderer?
Xiang Yuanguang's spirits were lifted. He had not expected that the clue to the lost murder weapon might be found at this time.
In that dim environment, any changes that could be noticed at a glance must have been huge and obvious.
Therefore, Xiang Yuanguang asked without hesitation.
"Excuse me, what is missing?"
Sanyuan Shunji, who had just frowned, now looked gloomy.
He looked up at Xiang Yuanguang, hesitated for a long time, and finally gave an answer.
"It's a statue... a bust of President Shimazu. It's made of copper covered with gold. It's very heavy."
"That thing was a Father's Day gift that Shimazu Sae gave to President Shimazu."
"I think if Shimazu Sae was the one who killed someone, he would never use this as a murder weapon."
Sanyuan Shunji's voice became serious and low, and he almost sighed.
"That's really too conscienceless."
"President Shimazu really likes this gift, so he put it on the table."
Xiang Yuanguang's eyes became serious.
The gift I gave to my father became the murder weapon that took his life!?
Just mentioning this information makes people feel extremely heavy.
He knew why Sanyuan Shunzhi's face suddenly turned gloomy.
The hedgehog-headed lawyer stroked his chin. For some reason, some memories began to flash back in his mind.
Those were Xiang Yuan’s childhood memories, when he lived with his grandfather in a big house in the countryside.
The most profound impression is the photo of my father and mother, and a photo of my mother's posthumous photo.
"Mirai Gentoya...what an irresponsible bastard."
Xiang Yuanguang murmured to himself, and then he knocked on the table in the detention center seriously.
"Finally, please tell me why you are surprised by the surveillance records?"
"Isn't that the surveillance record you modified?" Sanyuan Shunzhi was a little angry when he mentioned this. He stood up and said excitedly.
"It's not me. I just deleted the footage of my existence."
"I'm not a fool. How could I directly connect the surveillance records of No. 23 to the surveillance records of No. 24?"
"Someone is definitely trying to frame me! Only the top executives of Shimadzu Corporation have the right to modify surveillance records!"
"There are only so many people who have the authorization key. Lawyer Xiang Yuan, I'll tell you the list!"
"Please, make sure to find this person!"
Xiang Yuanguang took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the name that Sanyuan Shunzhi had said.
After all the records were completed, he spoke to Yuan Guang for the last time and asked one question.
"Excuse me, President Shimazu, do you have the habit of basking in the sun?"
Although he was a little confused, Sanyuan Shunzhi nodded and said.
"When President Shimazu encounters troubles, he likes to look out the window at the city in the sun."
"He said it would calm his mind."
So that's it... It seems that this time is the same.
When President Shimazu encountered trouble, he looked outside as usual, and as a result, his heart was calmed forever.
All the circumstances of the case are now clear at a glance.
Xiang Yuanguang stood up, folded the paper with more than a dozen names written on it, and put it carefully into his backpack.
His expression was extremely serious as he spoke to Sanyuan Shunji in front of him.
"I understand. I will find the real murderer at tomorrow's trial."
—————April 26, 8:23 p.m.——————
—————Restaurant outside the hotel, window seat——————
Xiang Yuanguang was sitting here at this time, watching the hustle and bustle of traffic and lights outside.
For some reason, his heart gradually calmed down, as if it was infected by the worldly dust.
The investigation this afternoon was not smooth. He was turned away everywhere he went and no one on the list saw him.
Except... the last person on the list, whom Xiang Yuanguang had never expected.
Shimazu Sae.
And Shimazu Sae even took the initiative to call Xiang Yuanguang to meet here.
Tick, tick, tick.
Footsteps were approaching.
Turning his head towards Genmitsu, he finally saw Shimazu Sae, the son who might have killed his father.
But what Xiang Yuanguang did not expect was that Shimazu Sae's face was also a mixture of sadness and anger.
"Nice to meet you. I am Shimazu Sae, the only son of the deceased Shimazu Zanggen."
Shimazu Sae sat down, opposite Xiang Yuanguang, and asked the waiter to bring the menu.
Then he ticked the box on the menu and passed it to Xiang Yuanguang.
Logically speaking, Xiang Yuanguang should be just as impressive and should have ticked many boxes as well, but unfortunately he lacks the financial resources.
If he really ticked the box, he would probably have to call Nanatsuki Koshimizu to pick him up.
Perhaps he noticed Xiang Yuanguang's concern, Shimazu Sae shook his head and said.
"I'll treat you to this meal. Lawyer Xiang Yuan, please."
Uh, he said that...
Xiang Yuanguang then checked the cheapest dishes on the list and put the menu aside.
Without waiting for Genkou to speak, Shimazu Sae took the initiative to speak.
"I know you suspect I killed my father, and it is precisely because of this that I want to meet with you."
"What I want to tell you is...I also think it might be me who killed my father."
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Yuanguang's eyes shook.
He never expected that the first thing Shimazu Sae said was such shocking news!
The author has something to do, so the fifth update will be a little later, sorry.
