Chapter 273 It seems to be a proof question
"Why is the president here at this time? Shouldn't he be celebrating with everyone in the banquet hall?"
Shiratori Jinzaburo, who came back from investigating, said,
"According to other employees, this is because President Taiji Tatsumi said he was not feeling well today and wanted to go back and rest."
Listening to what Shiratori Renzaburo said, Inspector Megure and Hakuba Matsu nodded one after another.
At this time, Officer Megure saw that the clothes of the corpse were a little messy, so he asked the people next to him,
"The deceased was disheveled. Is it possible that the murderer was after money?"
"I don't think so,"
Bai Masong said lightly,
"The deceased's sleeves were also opened. If one was seeking wealth, there was no need to open the buttons on the cuffs."
"Besides, this place is crowded with people coming and going. It's really not a good place to loot property."
"Well, that makes sense."
Inspector Megure listened to what Hakubamatsu said and nodded slightly.
At this time, a group of people crossed the cordon, led by a woman wearing an evening dress and short hair. She ran towards this side with tears in her eyes.
Seeing the body lying in the elevator, she couldn't help crying.
"Dad, how could it be, why......"
Among the three people who followed her in, one of the middle-aged men also sighed.
"Alas, when the president broke up with us, everything was fine, but now...Alas!"
"So, you were the one who saw President Tatsumi last?"
Inspector Megure looked at the sighing middle-aged man and asked.
"Well, it should be."
The man hesitated and said,
"At that time, it was indeed the three of us who saw the president off together."
"After that, not long after, the eldest lady also arrived."
At this time, another man who looked to be in his thirties said,
"My eldest lady and I discussed the blessing speech here, and then we left."
"Did anyone take the elevator during this time?"
Inspector Megure asked the man who spoke last.
"No, no, no one has taken the elevator during this time."
The man who spoke last replied.
"What time was it?"
Bai Ma Song also asked.
"Well..."
"It's half past eight."
After hearing this question, Tatsumi Taiji's daughter, Tatsumi Sakurako, stopped crying and said with a sad face.
"Oh? How do you know it's half past eight?"
Inspector Megure raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Because I heard the sound of salutes and firecrackers in the banquet hall, and the clock hand pointed to eight o'clock at that time, so it couldn't be wrong."
Tatsumi Sakura said affirmatively.
"But you don't have a watch on your wrist."
Bai Ma Song frowned and looked at her wrist as he spoke.
"that......"
Tatsumi Sakurako blushed.
"I just happened to see the numbers on Mr. Ohba's watch."
"This Mr. Ohba is..."
Shiratori Renzaburo couldn't help but ask.
"it's me,"
The man who had told Inspector Megure that no one had been in the elevator came out.
"My name is Ohba Satoru. I'm the manager of this company and Sakurako's boyfriend."
“So, you were here…”
Inspector Megure seemed to be pointing at something.
"Yes, we were dating here."
Ohba Satoru admitted it bluntly.
"We were dating here at the time, and Mr. Ohba just reached out and touched my earring, so I happened to see the hands and numbers on his watch at that time."
Tatsumi Sakurako explained.
"But, according to other employees, weren't the lights turned off? How did you see the numbers on Mr. Ohba's watch?"
Inspector Megure suddenly thought of something and asked Tatsumi Sakurako again.
This time, it was Ohba Satoru who came out to explain.
"That's because the watch I was wearing at the time was actually a fluorescent watch, so it was clearly visible even in the dark."
"Oh I got it."
Inspector Megure nodded in understanding.
"Okay, Mr. Ohba, we don't have any problems anymore."
"and many more,"
At this time, Bai Basong suddenly looked at Ohba Satoru, his eyes slightly narrowed, but he did speak to Tatsumi Sakurako,
"Ms. Tatsumi, you said that you saw the hands when he reached out to touch your earring, but Mr. Ohba Satoru wears his watch on his left hand. Even if he touched your earring, you shouldn't have seen it."
"this......"
Tatsumi Sakurako recalled,
"It seems that it was because Mr. Ohba touched my left earring with his left hand at that time."
At this time, Bai Masong asked Ohba Satoru calmly,
"Then, Mr. Ohba, why did you use your left hand to touch Ms. Tatsumi's left ear? Logically, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to touch the right ear?"
"hehe,"
Ohba Satoru sneered.
"Officer, the questions you asked don't seem to be related to the case."
"When we're on a date, we don't need to report anything to the Metropolitan Police Department, right?"
When Ohba Satoru said this, he was not afraid of Baiba Song's cold eyes at all, and even looked at him with the same provocative eyes.
Seeing this, Bai Masong also revealed a scornful smile.
It seems that this case is moving faster than he thought. When he first heard Inspector Megure say that the deceased was found by three employees, he thought it was a multiple-choice question.
Now that he saw Mr. Ohba Satoru, he understood that this was just a proof question.
As for the technique, he now has a general idea of it.
It was nothing more than killing President Tatsumi Taiji in the elevator through some means when he was dating Tatsumi Sakurako again.
It seems that it is even possible that during the date, he took advantage of Sakurako Tatsumi's inattention and shot the other person's father directly.
Facing Ohba Satoru's provocation, Bai Ma Song ignored it and said coldly,
"Maybe, who knows?"
"I'm not the murderer either. How do I know if your date is related to the case?"
After hearing what Bai Basong said, Tatsumi Sakurako couldn't help herself.
"Officer, we are really just dating. I also believe that Mr. Ohba has absolutely no time and no motive to kill my father."
"Just now he said that Dad agreed with what happened between him and me."
"He even bought me a necklace to celebrate this occasion, and it happened to be the same pink color as the pearls in my earrings."
"Besides, we were inseparable during this period, even though I went to the bathroom to put on the necklace he gave me."
"But he was also beside me and kept saying this to me. It was no different from being inseparable."
