A year ago, the president of a large company died of illness. Because his will was missing for no reason, two reporters, the deceased in this case and Akira Hashizume, published a lot of reports.
In the report, they speculated on the whereabouts of the will, analyzed the possibility of each heir stealing the will and the hatred between each other. Some were based on real materials and some were fabricated. But in the end, the family members themselves believed it, and the murder took place. , this matter is quite famous in the industry.
Although the death occurred, the whereabouts of the will was never found at that time. But a year later, this mystery has come to an end.
"It is written in the confession that after hearing the news, the deceased and Mr. Hashizume sneaked into the law office and stole the will. The scanned copy of the will was also saved in the deceased's computer.
"The two of them created a hot spot by themselves, made a big fuss about it, and became famous. Who knew that the situation got out of hand and they died.
"After that, the two of them were condemned by all parties, and in panic they destroyed the will and agreed not to mention the matter.
"But recently, the deceased has repented. He has a troubled conscience and wants to announce the truth to the public." What happened next, even if it is not written in the document, is not difficult to guess.
Jiang Xia: "The deceased and Mr. Hashizume usually had friction. Because of this incident, their relationship became increasingly tense. Their quarrel in the coffee shop at the beginning of the live broadcast yesterday probably also centered on whether the truth of that year should be announced.
"The deceased insisted on publishing the truth and felt that the two were guilty and needed to pay for the life of the deceased who was murdered in that big family. On the other hand, Mr. Hashizume was more worried that the matter would be leaked. In the end, they became murderous towards each other. .
"They have worked together for many years, have similar personalities, and know each other well. Therefore, Mr. Hashizume, who took the wrong cup first, exposed his flaw. The deceased used his plan to create the current situation." Officer Takagi nodded and took a cup. A document: "After our investigation, we found that the deceased's murder plan had actually been revised once. According to the results of our recovery, there was actually another paragraph behind his plan.
"——'After Hashizume is poisoned, I will also commit suicide.'"
"However, after the deceased became aware of your murder plan, he temporarily followed your script and changed it to this.
“In addition, we received news from the deceased’s attending doctor that the deceased was seriously ill and did not have much time left.
"It's probably because people who are about to die tend to speak kindly. He realized his sins a year ago, so he wanted to commit suicide to atone for his sins, and take you with him." Kinoshita Yoko fainted and asked Jiang Xia in a low voice: "Why did the deceased Why don't you just take advantage of the trick and drink the poisoned coffee handed to you by Mr. Hashizume to prove his murder charge?
"They all died in the same way, at the same place, and at about the same time of death. There is no difference at all. But just because the deceased drank the poisoned coffee in his cup in advance, Mr. Hashizume just committed murder... Could it be that the deceased was worried that Mr. Hashizume would waver at the last moment and did not dare to take action, so he took action himself to ensure that death would occur?" Jiang Xia shook his head: "How come there is no difference? The difference is actually very big - because Mr. Hashizume did it The death plan was exactly the same as that of the deceased, so the deceased knew that if he used this plan to murder Hashizume Akira again, the other party would definitely notice it and it would be difficult to succeed.
"Maybe it's because the deceased was seriously ill and didn't have the energy to think of other killing methods for a while, or maybe he regarded the unexpected murder plan as a game. In short, he did not change the battlefield, but decided to use the current endgame Looking for a way out.
“Since there was no way to kill Hashizume Akira directly, the deceased chose to use his own death to stain Hashizume Akira’s reputation, make Hashizume Akira society die, and even commit suicide because of it.
"But there are certainties in how you die. If the deceased drank the poisoned coffee delivered by Mr. Hashizume and was poisoned to death by him, then there are two possible developments of the matter - one is that the police did not discover that it was a murder at all; The death was hastily ended according to suicide. In this way, not only was the deceased unable to cause any harm to Mr. Hashizume, but he also gave him a hot spot, and Hashizume Akira could write him a eulogy as material.
"Another possibility is that the police discovered that this was a murder and successfully caught Hashizume Akira. In this way, Hashizume Akira did pay the price, but in Hashizume Akira's eyes, the deceased was just a person who was plotted by him. Poor guy. Although he lost his reputation, the deceased lost his life. Hashizume Akira might feel that he had won because of this. The deceased definitely didn't want to see this situation.
"In comparison, if you commit suicide like now, the situation is completely in the hands of the deceased. Hashizume Akira will be in chaos because of the weird situation of 'died according to his own plan before taking action on the target'. In this way, in When the police are looking for him, Mr. Hashizume will attract great attention because of his abnormal behavior." When the Megure Police Department saw the detective brother giving a small lecture to Kinoshita Yoko, he also came over to eavesdrop.
Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly: "That's right! This guy has been very worried since we found him. He was secretly sweating the whole time. He does look like a murderer." So this time it's not all the police. The main problem is that the situation is too bizarre... Jiang Xia nodded to save face, and then continued: "In this way, in the eyes of the deceased, he was poisoned as his own choice, and he will not become a loser in any case. Mr. Hashizume was arrested as a murderer even though he did not commit murder. He undoubtedly faced greater pressure.
"Being caught for a murder mistake and being convicted despite not having done it have completely different effects on people's mentality. In the former, there may be a little bit of relief, but in the latter, there is a lot more humiliation and anger.
"If the relevant public opinion becomes overwhelming in the future, maybe Mr. Hashizume will really commit suicide to prove his innocence - the deceased was very thoughtful. He not only controlled his own death, but also wanted to control Hashizume Akira's death after his death." Kinoshita Yoko touched the goosebumps on her forearms, hugged herself, and bounced slightly on the spot: "Although it sounds weird, it seems that there is a little weirdness in the weirdness?" Jiang Xia hummed: " This way of death is more in line with the situation of the person who was slandered as stealing the will in the big family murder case a year ago. The deceased may have felt that he was using this method to atone for his sins and get justice." Toru Amuro couldn't help but Glanced this way.
The idea was very clear, but he always felt something was wrong. ...But when detectives solve crimes, in addition to looking for clues, inferring the criminal's psychology is also an important part.
This doesn't seem to be a problem.
