Chapter 817 Broken Morning Dew
"Look at how arrogant this Chinese guy is. I think he might have killed Kato!"
"That's right, everyone, come together and take him down first."
The people from the islands in front of me were shouting something.
Hearing these words, Chen Xi frowned slightly.
Damn, these people are really crazy, they put all the blame on me.
How did Kato die?
Could it be that he died of exhaustion from overwork last night?
"Arresting people is dirty. Do you have any evidence to say that it was me who did it?" Chen Xi responded bluntly.
"Nonsense, you had a conflict in the bathroom yesterday, everyone saw it. Someone found Kato dead in the morning, who else did it if not you?" The guy who had been shouting the loudest before spoke again.
"Fuck, why would I kill that guy if I'm sick! Of course the police should handle the case when someone dies, who do you think you are to arrest people at random?"
"Humph, I have to catch you first, otherwise you will definitely run away."
"Why are you arresting people when you have no evidence?" At this time, Saori squeezed in from the crowd and stood in front of Chen Xi with her hands on her hips.
"Get out of the way. Don't think you can cover up for him just because you're his man. He killed someone." The man shouted at Saori.
"I wonder who dares to bully my daughter!" Another voice sounded, and Masako Saeki also walked in.
The man who had just spoken hummed for a long time, and finally swallowed back what he wanted to say.
At this time, a young man came over and whispered a few words in a man's ear. Then the man straightened his chest and said, "Madam, yesterday we saw this kid and Kato had a conflict in the toilet. Someone just said that there were quarreling sounds from the direction of Kato's residence last night, and it seemed that some of the words were spoken in Chinese. I think this kid must be dissatisfied and went to seek revenge on Kato..."
"May I ask how he died? Was he beaten to death?" Chen Xi's sudden words left the man speechless.
He only knew that Kato was dead, and there was no blood on his body, which was very strange.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this. Someone shouted: It must have been done by that Chinese guy.
Then everyone rushed over in a hurry, but they didn't even think about the details inside.
After Chen Xi finished speaking, he began to carefully look at the young man who had just come to report. He felt that he looked very familiar and he must have seen him somewhere.
"Well, professional matters should be handled by professionals. Once the police and the forensic doctor arrive, the truth will naturally come to light." Masako Saeki coughed lightly.
"It's him. I couldn't sleep yesterday because of the noise, so I went to the yard. Then I heard the Chinese man arguing with Kato." A young man from the Saeki family jumped out from somewhere, pointed at Chen Xi's body and shouted.
"Oh?" Everyone's eyes were on him again.
"I was sleeping last night and you didn't see me. How could you tell it was me just by the sound? Baa~ I barked twice now, could it be a sheep?" Chen Xi's words made the young man blush, and the onlookers wanted to laugh but had to hold it back.
"But I do know who Kato met yesterday..." Chen Xi glanced at the crowd with a smile.
Several people in the crowd had slightly changed expressions and evasive eyes.
Saori glanced at him secretly, asking with her eyes whether she should tell him about Saeki Anri, but saw Chen Xi shook his head slightly.
There's something wrong with this.
Who was that guy who just told tales?
I can’t remember why, but I must have seen it.
This was definitely not done by one person. The people in the crowd just now are major suspects.
Chen Xi's mind was working rapidly.
An hour later, Tokyo Special Investigation Department.
"President, we have investigated many high-level officials of the Agricultural Cooperative in the past few days. We are very pleased with their confessions and active cooperation. Especially Saeki Kamjiro, the evidence he provided made the special investigation department's investigation progress rapidly..." A middle-aged man with the same burly build as Saeki Kousuke was holding a folder proudly.
"Hehe, what do you want to say?" Kosuke Saeki leaned back in his chair and took a sip of tea slowly.
"What I mean is that the Agricultural Cooperative needs to be reorganized. The president must know more than what Saeki Kamji and those people said. It would be better to just remove all the termites in the Agricultural Cooperative."
"Haha, I may not be good at agriculture, but I'm not bad at politics. You want to dig a hole for me to jump into, but you're still too naive. You'd better let the person behind you come out and talk to me." Kousuke Saeki gave the other person a joking look.
The middle-aged man flew into a rage after hearing this and threw the folder directly on the table: "Saeki Kosuke, don't think that you can push your luck just because I'm talking to you nicely. Saeki Kamji and others have exposed all your illegal and criminal activities. What I said just now was just to give you a chance."
"Let me correct what you said just now. First, I, Kosuke Saeki, have never done anything illegal or criminal since I took the position of chairman, otherwise I would not be nicknamed the weakest chairman in history. Second, I know Saeki Kamajuo very well. Although this guy doesn't get along with me, he still has his family in his heart. He won't throw dirty water on me in such an extraordinary period just to have a grudge with me. Third, it's a complete waste of time for you to say these things to me. You can't represent the top officials of the island government. I am above you in terms of position and social status. You should let someone more senior talk to me. In addition, I want to meet Saeki Kamajuo, otherwise I don't want to talk about anything." Kosuke Saeki closed his eyes after he finished speaking, and was too lazy to even pay attention to the other party.
The middle-aged man thought about it and walked out of the room.
In another room, several white people were sitting there talking and laughing. There were several documents on the table, which looked like contracts.
"Knock knock." At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the middle-aged man just walked in.
"Mr. Mihashi, is Kosuke Saeki willing to cooperate?" One of the white men with a hooked nose rubbed his hands.
Mihashi Toureiro shrugged and shook his head.
"He doesn't even have the chips to turn things around now, why isn't he cooperating?"
"Saeki Kosuke said he wanted to talk to someone above him, and I'm not qualified."
"Ok?"
"This is an internal matter of our island country. As for how you talked to the higher-ups, I don't want to know. I was just following orders..." After saying that, Sanqiao Toureiro picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
In the room where Kosuke Saeki is staying.
The door was opened, and Saeki Kamji walked in calmly and sat down on the chair opposite him.
"Why do you want to see me?" Saeki Kamji crossed his legs, not looking like a prisoner who had been interrogated at all.
"It seems like you're living well here." Kosuke Saeki teased.
"I am the head of the Agricultural Cooperative Inspection Committee after all. I just made a small mistake. What's the big deal? It's too easy to get out of here. I just need to turn to a big shot. But you, you should have more troubles than me right now."
"They said you confessed a lot of things and wanted to drag me into this."
"Haha, yes. I told you all your nonsense. Are you angry? You must hate me."
"No, I believe you are not such a person. The Saeki family is the first in your heart. If I fall, the Saeki family will be finished. So you will definitely not do this..."
"Humph, you're smart."
Saeki Kamji glared at the other person but did not refute.
The two of them fight each other, and Saeki Kamajui does some bad things for his own selfish desires, but he still takes the life and death of the Saeki family very seriously. To be precise, the two just have different philosophies.
"I will be talking to senior government officials later. I hope we can overcome this difficulty." Kosuke Saeki said with a serious expression.
"That group of Americans are in cahoots with the top brass. I've been thinking about this for a long time. The people who betrayed me are those Americans. Everything was planned by them."
"Things are not as simple as you think..."
Looking at the furious Saeki Kamji, Saeki Kousuke shook his head slightly.
The Saeki family.
"Your police response speed is too slow." Chen Xi couldn't help but complain when he saw the police car that arrived late.
"There's no way. Saeki's house is on the mountain. It will take time for the county car to come over. Why didn't you let me tell you what happened last night? Are you afraid that my reputation will be damaged? There's no need to worry." Saori asked in a low voice.
"You have a lot of traitors in the Saeki family. Someone suddenly died in the middle of the night, just like in a movie. My brain still hasn't reacted yet..."
"What's the inside story?"
"Let's see what the police say first."
Chen Xi pointed to the distance where several policemen were checking the scene.
Kato Taiyo was lying on the ground with no blood on or around him. The cause of his death was very strange.
Chen Xi even had some doubts as to whether this guy had died of a heart attack caused by overwork yesterday.
Because he was too far away from the corpse, Chen Xi couldn't see anything and everything was just speculation.
Damn, if I could go over and check it out, I'd definitely find some clues.
Unfortunately, I am a suspect now, and many eyes are staring at me.
Chen Xi was secretly annoyed.
Soon, the police made a preliminary judgment.
Kato seemed to have died of poisoning!
However, an autopsy is still needed to determine the exact circumstances.
"Death from poisoning, did you poison Kato?" The man who had been shouting fiercely before jumped out again.
"He is Kato's relative, Miura Tomokazu." Saori explained in a low voice.
"Poison? I met him in the toilet last night, and he drank a mouthful of my urine. Could it be that my urine is poisonous?" Chen Xi sneered with his arms crossed.
"Could it be that yesterday's food was poisonous?" Saori defended Chen Xi.
"Impossible! I was drinking with Kato at the dinner table yesterday, and I even ate some of his dishes!" Miura Tomokazu immediately waved his hands.
"You were so close to him, but you didn't eat the food on your own table, but ate his food instead. I think you are the most likely person to have poisoned him!" Chen Xi put the blame on the other person.
"Baga, I've already eaten my own food... and it was Kato who invited me to eat here..." Miura Tomokazu's face turned red with anger.
Because everyone's eyes were focused on him at this moment.
"I saw that Chinese guy leaving the house last night. What did you think he was doing outside so late at night?" The young man who had reported the incident before started to stir up trouble again.
Chen Xi finally remembered who this guy was.
He, like the other young man, appeared at the toilet door yesterday. He was the one who was with the old man who helped him out.
Damn it, I thought I met a good person, but it turns out that old guy is not a good person either.
I was wondering why this matter was so strange, it turns out that someone high up in the Saeki family was behind this.
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and tried to find the old man in the crowd. But after looking for a long time, he still couldn't find the guy. (End of this chapter)
