"Excuse me, who are you?"
In the venue, Officer Megure frowned slightly as he looked at Miyano Shiho who suddenly barged in.
"Shiho Miyano, a passing detective."
With her hands in her pockets, under the gaze of everyone, Miyano Shiho looked at Shan Qizhe, with a hint of curvature at the corner of her mouth, and began her reasoning.
"Mr. Sugiki, Ms. Shimizu can never be the murderer of President Owada, because she had a clear alibi during the time before and after President Owada was killed."
"W-what did you say?"
"At around four o'clock this afternoon, Ms. Qingshui went to visit an artist in a neighboring town..."
"Artist, right?!"
When Kenta heard Miyano Shiho's words, he suddenly remembered the agreement his father made with him this afternoon.
It is said that a famous artist made important comments on his pile of composite doll sculptures.
For this reason, President Owada even called him and told him to go to the banquet hall at five o'clock this afternoon.
Could it be that the artist dad was talking about...
"Yes, Master Kenta, the artist Ms. Shimizu visited is the one President Owada mentioned to you."
Confirming Kenta's guess, Miyano Shiho suddenly changed the subject.
"But this was not just a visit, it was a bribe."
"Bribery? Could it be that dad is doing it for me..."
"You may have thought wrong, Master Kenta."
Looking at this young master Kenta with some sympathy, Miyano Shiho slowly spoke and said quietly:
“President Owada’s bribe was not intended to get the artist to praise your work.
On the contrary, what he really wants is for the artist to disparage your work..."
"Slander, slander?"
"That's right, President Owada has never wanted your only son to embark on the path of art from the beginning, and this has never changed.
The reason why he placed your work in such a conspicuous place in the banquet hall for everyone to see, and the reason why he wanted to bribe the artist to disparage you.
Just to give you the most fatal blow when you are happiest and most proud, so that you can completely lose your confidence in the pursuit of art, and be able to willingly return to Ed's company and inherit the family business he left to you. "
"This, this is impossible, right? Dad, dad, he actually..."
This was not the first time Kenta suffered a blow tonight. He turned his head and looked at Chie Shimizu, who was standing behind Miyano Shiho, as if he had lost his soul.
But Qingshui Qianhui avoided his gaze.
Miyano Shiho looked at his appearance and just sighed softly.
Young Master, the crueler truth is yet to come...
“In order to ensure that his bribery was not leaked, President Owada even asked his closest friend, Ms. Shimizu, to personally go to a neighboring town.
There, Ms. Shimizu successfully received the disparaging evaluation that President Owada wanted, and sent it back to the fax machine in the president's office via fax.
But because it was Ms. Shimizu's first time using a fax machine, an incorrect operation resulted in only a blank piece of paper being sent through the fax, with nothing actually on it.
Officer Sato, you should have found a similar piece of white paper without any writing on the suicide note on the fax machine, right? "
Miyano Shiho looked at Kuroba Kaito on the side.
"Ah, there is indeed one." Kuroba Kaito nodded.
At that time, this piece of white paper was covered on top of the suicide note. If he hadn't picked it up and looked at it, he wouldn't have even noticed the suicide note underneath.
"So that piece of white paper turned out to be Ms. Qingshui's fax?" Karasuma Ying was a little surprised.
On the fax machine, she did notice the fax record on the white paper, but at that time her attention was attracted by the suicide note and she subconsciously ignored it.
"After sending this fax, Ms. Qingshui did not return from the neighboring town immediately, but made several consecutive calls to Master Kenta from the public phone on the roadside.
Her original intention was to invite Master Kenta out and tell him about President Owada's bribery of artists.
But unfortunately, Master Kenta was probably busy setting up the venue for the party at that time, so he did not receive these calls. "
After Kenta heard this, his eyes suddenly became brighter when he looked at Qian Shui Qiane.
But soon, the glimmer in his eyes was extinguished by Qian Shui Qianhui.
"I'm sorry, Master Kenta. The reason why I want to tell you this is actually to provoke a greater conflict between you and the master."
"W-what?"
"Master Kenta, you like Mifuyu, right?" Chie Shimizu asked directly.
Her question not only made Kenta stupid, but also Mrs. Mityu who had been silent next to her was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable.
"Aunt Qingshui, are you kidding me?"
Glancing at Mrs. Sandong cautiously, Kenta said in a panic: "M-Midong is my father's wife. How, how could I like her..."
"Kenta..."
Seeing his reaction, as a person who has been through this, why doesn't Yamada Mityu not understand?
"Really……"
Qingshui Qianhui didn't force him anymore, she just closed her eyes and said to herself:
"My purpose in doing this is simple, Ichiro Owada, I love him, but I also hate this greedy man.
I have always known that Master Kenta, you have special feelings for the woman Mitong, so when I found out that this man wanted to bribe artists to slander and belittle you, I suddenly had an idea.
Doesn't he want everything? I want to tell you this. I want you to hate him and make your father-son relationship irreparable. It is best if you can take this woman away from him. I want to see your father and son turn against each other. I want to see you. Seeing your family destroyed...hahahaha! "
"Please be quiet, Ms. Shimizu."
"Well……"
Miyano Shiho glanced at her, and Shimizu Chie immediately became quiet, as if she was afraid of her.
Kenta on the side fell to the ground under the repeated blows. He said nothing, as if he had really lost his soul.
Seeing his appearance, everyone in the venue couldn't help but feel a little sad for him.
“Okay, that’s it for Ms. Shimizu’s personal affairs with the Owada family.
As for what Ms. Qingshui just said, the police only need to investigate the traffic records to the neighboring town later to confirm that she does have an absolute alibi and cannot be the murderer. "
Putting his hands in his pockets, Miyano Shiho looked sideways at Shan Qizhe and asked:
"Mr. Shanqi, do you have anything else to say?"
"me……"
"Shan Qi."
On the ground, Kenta suddenly raised his head, looked at the panicked Shan Qizhe blankly, and asked quietly: "Why did you kill dad?"
"Master Kenta..."
Looking at Kenta's eyes that looked like he was dead, Shan Qizhe finally couldn't hold on any longer and broke down to tell the final truth.
"I don't want to do this either! It was the master who called me to the president's office yesterday and said that there was a huge amount of corruption in the company's accounts!
Sir, sir, he suspects that I did it! But I don’t have one at all! No matter how I explained to him, he wouldn't listen. He also said that he would fire me after today's party!
Master Kenta, you know, my wife has been sick and hospitalized, and I can’t lose this job...I’m sorry, Master Kenta, I’m sorry..."
