I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Chapter 362 Sending You On Your Way (2/5)

The owner of Takase Real Estate is named Fumito Takase.

The empty house where Ju Tiancai was found was the one he managed and rented out.

When the police found him, there was a woman in a deep coma in his home, who was confirmed to be Oki Megumi, the woman who had gone missing two days earlier.

Tadaharu Mori led his men to search Fumito Takase's house and found many women's items.

Preliminary speculation suggests these are the belongings of the victim.

Fumito Takase did not expect to be exposed at this time, and he had not destroyed the victims' belongings that he had collected over the years.

Meanwhile, the woman he first knocked unconscious with electric shocks and then drugged into a deep coma was the one he intended to dismember alive.

A, asunder, his last piece of the puzzle.

What's even more surprising is that this person was the sole survivor of the previous fire.

This is why, even though the police found out that the empty house was being managed by Fumito Takase, they did not suspect him.

Because initially, UDI incorrectly determined the time of death, saying that the body should have been placed there after the fire.

If that's the case, then Takase Fumito would have a perfect alibi.

"Did that person rescue this thing?"

When Aki Tomoya received the call from Misumi Mikoto that evening, he learned that Takase Fumito was the only survivor of the last fire, and his feelings became complicated.

This is what Machida Saburo risked his life to save.

From a certain perspective, if Machida Saburo hadn't rescued Takase Fumito, the case would have remained unsolved forever.

The murderer died in an accident, and the truth will forever remain hidden in the fire.

"Takase Fumito has implicated Shishido Riichi, it looks like things are going to turn into a dog-eat-dog fight."

Aki Tomoya spoke to Takagi and Kube Rokuro inside the room.

However, this sentence was specifically told to Shishido Riichi.

He had been curled up on the tatami mat, but now he looked up and retorted with an incredulous expression, "Impossible! I'm just a reporter, I didn't do anything. Why does that person say I'm an accomplice?! Are you trying to fool me?!"

"Even if you did nothing, what's the difference between knowing but not reporting and being an accomplice? We found the belongings of a previous victim in that person's house, as well as his meticulously arranged alphabet. Most importantly, I don't know if you recognize Osaki Megumi, but the last piece of the alphabet puzzle, Takase Fumito didn't have time to complete the final feat."

Aki Tomoya looked at Shishido Riichi with amusement.

This person still thinks he can stay out of this; he's dreaming.

"Speaking of which, you should thank us. He thought you had betrayed him, which is why he was so eager to expose you. Did you think that without us, you wouldn't have to be buried with Takase Fumito?"

Aki Tomoya looked at Shishido Riichi with a mocking expression.

Who knows what these two people agreed on before this?

Just before the final piece of the alphabet puzzle was about to be completed, the police came knocking on his door, and Takase Fumito immediately thought of Shishido Riichi.

The cunning fox's plan completely failed.

"Dogs fighting, how interesting! Uncle, you might as well just go with that pervert!"

Takagi looked at Shishido Riichi with sympathy.

While waiting in the rented room, he learned the whole story of the case.

When he learned what kind of feat Takase Fumito wanted to accomplish, he was also quite surprised.

There are actually such perverts in this world.

"Aki-kun, are we still going to this person's house next?"

Kube Rokuro has already found out where Shishido Riichi's house is.

The original plan was to wait until there were fewer people at night, then use the keys on Shishido Riichi's person to look for evidence.

However, it seems unnecessary now.

“No need. Just hand over the packed items to Officer Mori along with this person, and tell them that there is other evidence in the Shishido family’s house. The police investigation team is more skilled at collecting evidence than we are.”

"Wait, are you just going to hand me over to the police like this? Don't forget what you did to me!!"

Shishido Riichi looked up in alarm. Handing him over to the police at this moment would be tantamount to sending him to his death. Once he was with the police, he would be unable to defend himself.

"Judging from his reaction, this guy really does have something on Takase Fumito's family. Are you that afraid of the police coming to your house?"

Aki Tomoya gave a cold laugh.

At this point, anything he says would seem pale and powerless.

Frankly, it's quite audacious of Takase Fumito to be caught red-handed and not even have all the belongings of his previous victims destroyed.

Furthermore, Takase Fumito believed that only Shishido Riichi knew about these things, and since he was caught before the alphabet was completed, his first suspicion was that he had been betrayed by Shishido Riichi.

In fact, Shishido Riichi did betray Takase Fumito.

The photocopy that this person gave to Kube Rokuro was already intended to have someone else find Takase Fumito.

"You don't need to worry about us. We're just assisting the police in solving cases and arresting suspects. You can't slander us for no reason!"

Aki Tomoya patted Shishido Riichi's face, whose expression had turned completely dark.

"As for your house, I will remind the police to search it thoroughly. Kube-kun, please notify Officer Mori to come over."

If Takase Fumito hadn't implicated Shishido Riichi, they might have gone to Shishido Riichi's house again tonight.

But it's not necessary now.

First, they caught him red-handed, and then they found an unconscious woman in his home, along with so many of her belongings that had not been destroyed in time.

Whether he can explain it clearly depends on whether he can explain it completely.

Once the Shishido family is thoroughly investigated, Takase Fumito will have no chance of overturning the verdict.

As for Shishido Riichi, he definitely knew about it but didn't report it.

Whether he will be considered an accomplice depends on how the police handle the situation.

"Wait, I'll take you to my house to look for it. Don't call the police. I'll take you there. I have evidence. The evidence of that guy's crimes is with me. I'll take you to find it. I'm not hiding anything, I'm not an accomplice!"

Riichi Shishido revealed his final trump card.

"Aki-kun, what should we do?"

Kube Rokuro looked at Aki Tomoya, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Call the police! What else can we do? You all heard what he said clearly. There's evidence at his house. Just tell Officer Mori everything he said. Why are we wasting our time?"

Aki Tomoya said with a laugh.

He didn't care what Shishido Riichi said; he would just leave it all to the police.

Since they had already subdued Shishido Riichi, it would be difficult to investigate the matter further. Therefore, it would be best to leave the rest to the police.

Shishido Riichi's face was ashen.

About half an hour after Kube Rokuro contacted Mori Tadashi, he arrived with his men and took the person away.

"You guys really need to stop making things difficult for me!"

Mori Tadashi looked helplessly at Aki Tomoya and the others.

He had asked UDI before and learned that the new appraisal report had not yet been officially released. Now, seeing this scene in the house, he knew what these people had done.

"It's getting late, let's hurry back!"

However, Mori Tadahisa did not intend to pursue the matter, but simply told them to go back quickly.

Chapter 363 Don't Call Me an Assassin (3/5)

"Aki, next time something like this happens, remember to call me again!"

As they parted, Takagi said to Aki Tomoya with lingering affection.

He's fearless and likes to do things that are exciting.

Aki Tomoya rolled his eyes at him.

"I doubt there will be a next time..."

While Takagi might feel some regret saying this, it's unlikely there will be a next time.

Where do all these cases come from that require their personal involvement?

This situation is just a bit special, which is why it turned out this way.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced you to Kube-kun yet, have I? Takagi Sai, my classmate, from Kyoto."
