When luminol malfunctioned, the suspect said he was going upstairs to rest, and they actually let him go alone, without anyone following or monitoring him.
They didn't even check on the person sitting asleep in front of the TV. They knew there might be a body hidden in the villa, and everyone in the villa was a suspect. Even if they were unconscious, they should have woken them up and asked them what happened!
It's fair to say that this case didn't require any reasoning at all; a little attention would have been enough to solve it. The fact that the Metropolitan Police Department couldn't solve it shows just how incompetent they are!
"Anyone caught?"
Tanaka Tomofumi's face was contorted with rage, and his eyes were filled with despair.
"This bastard ruined everything I had! What did I do wrong by killing him?!"
"Well, he's turned evil~"
Xia Ye shrugged, looking relaxed. She hadn't managed to trigger the suspect's kneeling and repentance BGM set; in fact, she'd only made the suspect more agitated.
Tanaka Tomofumi grabbed a golf club from the bag next to him, gripped it tightly, and rushed towards the door. He probably wasn't trying to run away; he was likely too traumatized and had a mental breakdown, losing his mind.
Facing Tomofumi Tanaka, who was wielding a murder weapon.
Sato Miwako instinctively assumed a defensive stance, but was gently caught by Xia Ye (Zhao De Zhao). He turned and kicked Tanaka Tomofumi, who was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall next to the television. Fine cracks began to spread across the wall from the point of impact, and Tanaka Tomofumi fainted without uttering a sound.
"You can take it now~"
Xia Ye smiled slightly and carefully reminded him:
"Also, he just assaulted a police officer!"
"Xia Ye, attacking you doesn't count as assaulting a police officer~"
Sato Miwako explained understandingly.
Xia Ye only received the benefits of a police inspector, not a real police inspector; attacking him could only be considered a brawl...
"Didn't he want to attack you?"
Xia Ye released her arm from Sato Miwako's shoulder, looked at the police officers who had gathered there, and said with a serious expression:
"You all saw the suspect brandishing a weapon and preparing to attack Officer Sato, right? Officer Sato is so delicate; if he had actually hit her, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Wouldn't it be fair to classify this as assaulting a police officer?"
"Not too much!"
"Perfectly reasonable!"
"This suspect is too ruthless; he must be severely punished!"
The officers understood Xia Ye's meaning, and they all nodded in unison, echoing her sentiments enthusiastically.
Sato Miwako couldn't help but give Natsume a playful eye roll. She'd only been at work for one day and already learned to abuse her position for personal gain; she was sure to be a troublesome person in the future, giving those big shots a real headache!
Chapter 124 Suzuki Tomoko: Beautiful reporter, oh, do you like her?
soon.
Tanaka Tomofumi was pulled off the wall and, instead of being put into a police car, was lifted into an ambulance.
Although Xia Ye explained that he had used a clever technique to transfer the force to the wall, and that Tanaka Tomofumi was basically unharmed, no one believed him—
That kick sent a strong, grown man flying five or six meters, landing him on a wall that shattered, and he still said he was fine. Xia Ye really has no bottom line when it comes to showing off in front of Officer Sato!
That's what all the male police officers thought.
Miwako Sato directed the cleanup of the scene, the collection of evidence and the murder weapon, and the removal of the victim's body.
Everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
He can be considered a competent on-site commander.
"All right!"
Xia Ye clapped her hands and said with a smile:
"knock off!"
"You make it sound like you've done a lot of work!"
Sato Miwako complained irritably that while others were searching for evidence and cleaning up the scene, Natsume was hiding on the side playing with the little girl and didn't help at all. As a newcomer on her first day of work, she was completely oblivious!
If he hadn't been the one leading the team, but some other officer, he would have been scolded long ago!
"Brother Xia Ye hasn't been idle!"
Ayumi pouted. Although she liked Officer Sato very much, she couldn't say bad things about Natsume!
"He even told me a story!"
"Okay~"
Sato Miwako patted Ayumi's head, a kind smile on her face. "You two should go home now, don't worry your parents!"
"No way!"
Ayumi raised her little face and argued:
"Our Junior Detective League is really awesome; we're the ones who solved this case!"
"Yes, yes!"
Genta and Mitsuhiko quickly took credit as well:
"If we hadn't been here guarding the place, the prisoner might have already taken the body out!"
"You guys did pretty well this time!"
Xia Ye chuckled and praised them: "Although it was a bit reckless of you to climb over the wall to check after you first noticed blood on the cat, you did very well afterwards. Keep doing this in the future. If you encounter an incident, call the police and find a safe place to wait for the 717 police to arrive. Don't do anything rash, understand?"
"Know it!"
The three little ones answered in unison.
Xia Ye's praise made them very happy, so they made up their minds to do as Xia Ye's brother said in the future when they encountered any incidents. It would be safe and they would also get praise. How great was that!
"Where's Conan?"
Xia Ye looked at Conan, who had been deep in thought since earlier. This guy was probably still questioning his life. He, the famous detective, hadn't even started to deduce the case yet, and it was already solved. When did the Metropolitan Police Department become so efficient?
"I was wondering, Natsume-nii, where did you first realize that this Tanaka Kazuyuki wasn't the real Tanaka Kazuyuki, but rather his younger brother, Tanaka Tomofumi?"
Conan asked curiously, and he admitted that he had indeed lost to Xia Ye this time. Now he just wanted to know how much he had lost.
"when......"
Xia Ye smiled faintly, "It was probably from the moment he opened the door. There wasn't a single wet spot on the beard he used to disguise his identity; it was clearly applied after a shower. And the fake beard was brand new, meaning he never usually wears it. The fact that he suddenly put it on now definitely suggests something's fishy."
"I see!"
Conan looked at him with admiration. This guy was really something! He actually discovered such a big flaw as soon as he entered!
Xia Ye readily accepted Conan's admiring gaze. He had indeed noticed these flaws when Tanaka Tomofumi opened the door. As a master of disguise and impersonation, such weaknesses were as obvious as fireflies in the night to him!
(ahcc)
However, he already knew the plot.
All that information was wasted!
"Brother Xia Ye is so amazing!"
Over there, the three little devils, including Ayumi, were filled with admiration. Ayumi, in particular, felt very happy just thinking that Xia Ye was her piano teacher. She wanted to ask her mother to invite Xia Ye to their house to teach her piano again as soon as possible!
Mom seems to really want Xia Ye to come over to play. She definitely wants to hear him play the piano!
"Alright, we should go now."
The scene has been cleared, it's time to call it a day. Xia Ye and her group walked out of the villa, and then—
"Officer Sato, this is a reporter from the Nichiuri Shimbun. She'd like to interview you."
A male police officer looked at Sato Miwako with a troubled expression. Next to him stood a beautiful woman dressed in a black business suit, a pencil skirt, and black stockings. The woman was holding a microphone, and a photographer was following behind her. The camera displayed the logo of the Nichiuri Shimbun, clearly indicating that she was a formal reporter!
"Interview me?"
Miwako Sato was slightly taken aback.
Then react.
This reporter must have been arranged by the Metropolitan Police Department, but why is he interviewing me instead of Natsume?
Isn't the point to promote him?
"Well, I understand~"
Sato Miwako gave Natsume some instructions, then followed the reporter to the side to begin the interview.
Xia Ye took out her phone, and a message popped up: How was it? Wasn't that female reporter pretty? I specially picked her out for you. If you like her, you can go for it. I've already got her sorted out!
Xia Ye gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.
As expected of Tomoko Suzuki!
She seems to have abandoned all sense of propriety and let herself go since last night, even going so far as to send beautiful women to her man. However, Xia Ye really likes this interesting and sensible woman!
Just like that beautiful reporter from earlier, when she walked away with Officer Sato, she turned back and gave him a knowing look, clearly indicating she'd been instructed on something.
Xia Ye sighed inwardly.
Tomoko Suzuki is such a wonderful wife now, she can give me anything I want, she's so considerate!
the other side.
Sato Miwako's expression was somewhat strange.
Although the beautiful reporter was interviewing herself, most of the questions she asked were about Xia Ye. Sure enough, she was someone sent by the bigwigs of the Metropolitan Police Department to promote Xia Ye.
Then praise him more!
So, Sato Miwako carefully chose her words and said many kind things about Natsume.
"Officer Sato~"
Thank you for the interview!
The beautiful reporter, Nishino Ruri, gave a polite bow and thanked Sato Miwako with a smile.
Although she didn't understand why the refreshing and pretty policewoman had praised her target for a long time before she even started to coax him, it was fine, she had exceeded her mission!
not to mention--
Nishino Ruri sized up the beautiful policewoman in front of her. She was slender yet well-endowed, with a cool and dashing demeanor, and was very pretty. It was obvious at a glance that she was a policewoman from the Metropolitan Police Department.
My task is to promote the goal.
But constantly promoting various cases must be quite boring. Perhaps some juicy gossip would be better to lighten things up?
Beautiful women and handsome men, add some more spice! Stir up some scandals or something, and the attention will definitely go up immediately. Of course, this kind of news can't be published by the Daily News; we have to find a professional entertainment newspaper to slowly hype it up!
But—would the lady who assigned the task mind?
The target must hold a very high place in her heart. What if she doesn't like the target being ambiguous with other women?
Forget it, I'll find a chance to ask him!
Don't misunderstand, or you'll be in trouble!
...
After Miwako Sato.
Nishino Ruri officially approached Natsume.
After introducing herself, she smiled gracefully and said, "I will continue to follow your interviews, Xia Ye. Please give me your guidance!"
Xia Ye frowned, her expression somewhat displeased.
Do you need to conduct interviews for every case?
"No no no~"
Ruri Nishino chuckled and explained:
"I do need to follow you on each case, but it's mostly just recording the events and taking some appropriate photos. As for interviews, I usually interview your colleagues; I won't bother you easily."
"That's good~"
Xia Ye nodded, having no objection to it.
"Don't worry, this was personally instructed by that lady. She said not to annoy you, so I wouldn't dare to do anything reckless~" When Nishino Ruri mentioned the lady's instructions, a strange glint flashed in her eyes. The lady had said more than just these things, and having agreed to those conditions, she herself had already fallen!
