Chapter 423 A sentimental sacrifice
Hoshi Saku could no longer speak.
Lin Xinyi has proved through the body spots on Ritsuko Usui that her body was moved at least an hour after her death.
This alone is enough to expose Saku Hoshi's lies.
Because this seriously conflicts with his previous confession:
He said that he finished killing Ritsuko Usui around 0 o'clock, set up the secret room mechanism, and left the scene of the crime directly.
How to explain the moving of the corpse?
Could there be a mysterious person who comes inexplicably in the middle of the night to move the body?
After he finished doing this, before leaving the room, he also went to great lengths to restore the secret room mechanism set up by Saku Hashi?
This cannot be explained logically.
"There is only one reasonable explanation."
"That is, Mr. Hoshi Saku."
"You are not the murderer, but the mysterious man who came to Ritsuko Usui's room in the middle of the night and moved the body for some reason!"
Saku Hoshi: "."
He was silent for a while, his expression becoming more complicated.
In the end, in the face of Lin Xinyi's irrefutable evidence, Hoshi Saku sighed and admitted his lying:
"That's right. I'm not a murderer."
"I also moved Ritsuko Usui's body."
Lin Xinyi received a satisfactory answer.
He then asked in confusion:
"Mr. Saku, why did you come to Ritsuko Usui's room in the middle of the night?"
"And why were her bodies moved?"
"It's a long story."
Saku Hoshi sighed softly and said something shocking:
"I left in the middle of the night, to be precise, around 2 o'clock in the middle of the night."
"I went to find Ritsuko Usui at that time to kill her."
"Don't be surprised"
He emphasized in a serious tone:
"The motive I mentioned before was not made up by me."
"Because of the lawsuit between the village and Mitsui Chemicals, I really want to kill Ritsuko Usui and make Mitsui Chemicals lose this crucial lawsuit."
"But you know I'm here." Lin Xinyi retorted: "How dare you commit a crime?"
"Ha ha."
Sakubo Hashi smiled very openly:
"Manager Lin, although your name is resounding, it can only scare those cowards who try to escape legal punishment."
"But I'm different."
"Before I thought about killing Ritsuko Usui, I had already decided to surrender after committing the crime."
"This" Lin Xinyi was speechless:
Who would have thought that this lawyer Saku, who relied on the law to make a living, would be a complete outlaw? !
He never thought about escaping legal punishment, because he was not afraid at all!
"So even if I know you are here, Manager Lin."
"At 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, I still followed my initial murder plan and went to Ritsuko Usui's room."
"What happened after that was pretty much the same as what I said before:"
"There was no response when she knocked on the door, so I stole the hotel's spare key and opened her door."
"But I didn't find out until I went in."
Saku Hashi's voice quietly became solemn:
"Ritsuko Usui is dead."
"And been dead for a while."
"And just like what you said, Mr. Lin, with my half-baked forensic knowledge, I am not sure how to accurately determine the time and cause of her death."
"But I still think it was homicide."
"Because Ritsuko Usui drinks well and is in good health, it is unlikely that she will die in her room for no reason."
"the most important is"
He paused slightly, as if he didn't want to say what was coming next:
"I found a button on the ground next to Ritsuko Usui's body."
"That button belongs to someone I know well."
"And this button fell next to Ritsuko Usui's body."
"It was almost like leaving a death message."
"I continued to search carefully near the body, and soon found the hair of 'that person' left at the scene."
"That person's hair is longer than Ritsuko Usui's, and among the lawyers on this trip, she is the only one with such long hair, so I won't admit it."
At this point, the situation becomes clear.
Saku Hoshi attacked in the middle of the night with murderous intentions, only to find that he had been cut off and the Ritsuko Usui he wanted to kill was already dead.
Immediately afterwards, he discovered physical evidence left by "someone" at the scene.
So he subconsciously regarded that person as the murderer of Ritsuko Usui.
"And to exonerate 'that person'."
"You just chose to fake the scene and make yourself the real culprit in this case?"
"That's right."
Fashi Saku nodded deeply:
"I originally planned to kill Ritsuko Usui and then surrender, so I was mentally prepared and not afraid of bearing the consequences of the crime."
"But not that guy."
"I don't want her to get hurt in the slightest."
"So, after realizing that she might be the murderer of Ritsuko Usui, I just took the blame and put it on myself:"
He paused slightly and explained in detail:
"I can't directly ask that person about the details of the incident because I know that person and she will definitely not agree to such a crazy move on my part."
"So I can only rely on my half-baked forensic knowledge to speculate on the time and manner of Ritsuko Usui's death."
"Just like your initial speculation, Mr. Lin, after briefly observing the signs of her body, I also felt that she died of suffocation."
"And Ritsuko Usui was lying on the ground beside the bed at first."
"So I simply carried her to the bed and made her look more like she was being held down on the bedside and suffocated to death."
Saku Hoshi is roughly equivalent to an unconfident academic scumbag.
He also took the two big questions "Time of Death" and "Method of Death", but he didn't quite believe in his ability to answer the questions. He would only be relieved if he got the correct answer from Lin Xinyi, a top student.
And what if I am unlucky and fail to hear Lin Xinyi's analysis on the spot and fail to match the answer with this "student master"?
Then we can only prepare for a rainy day and try our best to bring Lin Xinyi's possible answer to the answer he thought of himself.
So Hoshi Saku put the body of Ritsuko Usui on the bed, making her look like she had been suffocated on the bed.
The purpose was to make Lin Xinyi think that the deceased died of suffocation with a pillow.
"Everyone knows what happened next."
"I deliberately designed a crappy secret room and left enough evidence at the scene to prove that I was the murderer."
"But unfortunately, all these efforts failed."
Hoshi Saku sighed resignedly:
"After all, I still couldn't shoulder this responsibility for that person."
At this point, the atmosphere became increasingly solemn.
Although Hoshi Saku didn't say that person's name.
But everyone present could guess who that person was:
"idiot!"
Fei Yingli stood up with a gloomy face:
"Who needs your help?"
"It's just a button and a few strands of hair. What can it mean?"
"These are just the traces left over from my previous conflict with Usui Bing."
"Saku, do you really think that my concubine Yingri will be sent to prison because of this level of evidence?"
Fei Yingli's tone was slightly annoyed.
But this Mr. Saku Hashi is infatuated:
"No, Lawyer Fei, I believe you can get through this unharmed."
"But a high reputation attracts slander and a large tree attracts wind. You have provoked countless enemies over the years, like Ritsuko Usui."
"If you are just suspected of murder, even if you are acquitted in the end, your reputation, lawyer Fei, will be dealt a devastating blow."
This situation is like Mr. Simpson.
The court found him not guilty, but the world still regarded him as a murderer.
If the same thing happened to Fei Yingli, in Japan, which has a custom of group bullying and is not friendly to professional women, the pressure she would face in the future would probably not be too light.
Although Fei Yingli himself always downplayed this.
But Sakubo knew that this difficulty would not be easy for her.
"I told you, I don't care!"
Feiyingli didn't appreciate Sakubo's kindness at all.
He was even vaguely angry.
You must know that in this case, she was the number one suspect who could not explain it clearly.
Now he is subjected to such a shameless operation by Saku Hoshi, who sacrifices his life to take the blame.
She looked more like a murderer.
"Saku, you are doing unnecessary things out of self-indulgence!"
"Feel sorry."
Saku Hashi's face was filled with guilt:
"I thought I could get over this easily by sacrificing myself."
"I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to plead guilty in front of Manager Lin."
"Now it seems that I did something redundant."
He seemed to be blaming himself for not being able to take the blame for Fei Yingli.
"No, you still don't understand."
"Even if you really take the blame for me, I will never be happy."
Fei Yingli frowned tightly:
"Because I didn't kill anyone!"
"Saku, what you did is simply an insult to me!"
She was angry, angry that she was really being seen as a murderer.
Sakubo Fashi's self-motivated and self-motivated sacrifice was so ridiculous and irritating in her eyes.
But no matter how Fei Yingli behaves now
The onlookers looked at her with strange eyes:
There was no way. Even if the time when Fei Yingli was scratched did not match the time of Ritsuko Usui's death, it could not rule out the possibility that she later sneaked back to the scene to commit the crime.
After all, she had a motive for murder, had a conflict with the deceased, and left buttons, hair, skin flakes and other evidence at the scene.
Now another "accomplice" appears who is willing to take the blame for her.
Fei Yingli. She really looks like a murderer!
"Mr. Lin!"
At the critical moment, Mao Lilan thought of something.
She thought of what Lin Xinyi had just said:
"You said that your initial speculation about the cause of Miss Ui Bing's death was wrong. She did not die from suffocation."
"Does this mean, Mr. Lin, you have found out the real cause of her death?"
"That's right." Lin Xinyi nodded calmly.
"Then how did she die?"
"Who killed her?"
Mao Lilan and Kogoro, the father and daughter, couldn't wait to ask questions one after another.
Lin Xinyi’s answer is:
"Don't worry."
"Based on my current speculation."
"In this case, there may not be a murderer at all."
