In the president's office, under Kenta's confused eyes, Karasuma Ei and Kuroba Kaito quickly started searching the president's office.
"There's nothing wrong with the bookshelf. There's no sign of anyone turning it over."
"There is a men's kimono on the hanger, covered with a dry-cleaned protective coat. It should be a spare... Strange, this kimono has signs of being worn."
"The drawer is very neat, and President Owada's key card is also inside..."
Speaking of this, Karasumaying suddenly remembered that Shan Qizhe had said before that the door of the president's office requires this kind of door card whether it is locked or unlocked.
"Kenta, who are the people who have the access card to the president's office?"
"In addition to Dad and Shanqi, there are me, Sandong and the housekeeper Qingshui, a total of five people."
[In other words, including the president, are there actually only five people who can really enter and leave the president's room freely? 】
"Xiaoying, come and see, there is a faxed suicide note here."
Kuroba Kaito made a new discovery on the fax machine next to his desk.
"Suicide note?"
Karasuma Ying and Kenta came over quickly. There was indeed a suicide note on the fax machine, with a blank piece of paper covering it.
Kenta picked up the suicide note with trembling hands and read word for word:
"I am exhausted from this world full of lies and hypocrisy. This budget deficit of 2 billion is no longer a figure that can still be optimistic. I decided to end this party that has reached the pinnacle of hypocrisy. In my whole life... Ichiro Owada."
"No! No! This suicide note was definitely not written by dad! Ying! Look at this word!"
Kenta pointed to the word "一" signed by Yamada Ichiro on the suicide note and said anxiously:
"Dad, his name is 'Ichiro'! Not 'Ichiro'! It's impossible for someone to write their own name incorrectly on a suicide note! This suicide note is definitely a forgery!
Dad him! Dad... he is such a person who advocates saving. To him, suicide is the biggest waste in the world. How could he... commit suicide..."
"Kenta, don't worry, I will help you find out the truth."
After comforting Kenta who was a little broken again, Karasumaying turned to look at the fax machine.
The fax machine has a time record of previous faxes, showing the time when the suicide note was printed.
"16:13...Kenta, is President Owada also in the president's office at this time in the afternoon?" Karasumaying asked.
"um, yes."
"That is to say, if this suicide note is really written by President Yamada, then at this point in time, he is the only one who can use it to fax..."
Karasumaying turned to look at the old laptop on the desk.
"There is only one computer. As long as you open the computer and check the previous fax records, you can know whether this suicide note was left by President Owada himself."
"But, Ying, I don't know the password for this computer..." Kenta said with some embarrassment after hearing this.
"What?"
Karasuma Ying was a little surprised. This computer should be filled with Aide Company's information, right? As the future heir of Ed Company, you don’t know the password?
"Well, dad actually gave me a hint that the password of this computer is the birthday of the person he loves most.
I think dad wants me to find out the password on my own, right? Although I have never had this idea... Oh! correct! "
Suddenly remembering something, Kenta said quickly:
"Dad told me this afternoon that he asked me to go to the banquet hall at 17 o'clock. He said that an expert had commented on the composite doll sculpture I made and placed it in the banquet hall. must go."
"Did President Owada show up at 17 o'clock?" Karasumaying asked.
"No, I've been waiting there for half an hour and Dad didn't come. Because Dad often changes his arrangements suddenly like this, so I didn't pay attention at the time..."
"So he didn't show up at that time? Kenta, do you still remember the specific time when President Owada told you about this?"
"Let me check the call history on my phone...it's 15:50."
"15:50?"
Kuroba Kaito felt a little incredible.
"The time of this suicide note is 16:13, which means that President Owada decided to commit suicide within just twenty-three minutes after he made the agreement with you?"
"It's really hard to imagine..." Karasuma Ying also found it incredible.
"Dad, he definitely didn't commit suicide..." Kenta said, clenching his fists.
At this moment, the balcony door opened, and Officer Megure and Mouri Kogoro walked in.
"Oh? Sato, are you still here?"
"Yes, Officer Megure, we want to investigate this president's office." Kuroba Kaito replied.
"Ah, this, this is no longer needed."
"Huh?" Kenta looked at Officer Megure in disbelief.
"What?" Mouri Kogoro, who was blushing slightly, put his hands in his pockets and said, "During the two fireworks, no one came near this floor, right?
President Owada was still in the observation room during the first fireworks, but he had already hanged himself in the president's office during the second fireworks. No matter how you look at it, this is simply suicide. "
"But……"
Just when Kuroba Kaito wanted to say something, the emotional Kenta spoke first. He raised the suicide note in his hand and shouted:
"But police officer! Look! Dad has a suicide note here..."
"Oh? Is there a suicide note? That would be even more proof that it was suicide..."
"No! Dad's suicide note was faxed and printed at 16:13! But at 15:50, Dad still called me and asked me to meet at 17:00!
In other words, Dad decided to commit suicide in just twenty-three minutes! Isn't this unusual? ! "
"What's so abnormal about this? Maybe President Owada just wants to make arrangements for your funeral?"
"Officer! There is also the signature on the suicide note! Ichiro Owada wrote not '一' but '一'! Is there anyone in this world who writes his or her name incorrectly on a suicide note?!"
"Huh? This seems true..." Mouri Kogoro looked at the suicide note and nodded.
However, Officer Megure beside him looked at Kenta with sympathy and comfort, and said slowly:
"Master Kenta, unfortunately, Mr. Owada's name on his household registration is indeed 'Ichiro'."
"What?!"
Not only Kenta, but also Karasuma Ei and Kuroba Kaito were also shocked by Officer Megure's words.
"The name on this suicide note is not wrong. I just called Mr. Sugaki. Mr. Owada's signature on the official document is indeed 'Ichiro', not 'Ichiro'."
"How is this possible? Dad, dad..."
Kenta staggered back two steps, his eyes were dull, and his whole body seemed to have suffered a huge blow.
"What? It's an official name that even my own son doesn't know? This further proves the authenticity of this suicide note..." Mouri Kogoro also sympathized with Kenta.
"Officer Megure, is there something wrong?" Karasumaying asked quickly.
"It's not wrong. I saw Mr. Owada's household registration file before coming here, and that's the name.
Okay, don't waste time here anymore, go back to the venue and explain the situation to everyone. "
