Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

Officer Takagi's analysis instantly relieved Sano Izumi, who pointed to the two people besides Oda Kunitomo and said, "In this case, the three of us can't be the murderer, because the three of us were already on the skating rink when the fireworks started, right, Xiaolan?"

Xiaolan nodded: "Yes, Miss Sano and the others arrived when the first firework was set off."

Inspector Megure looked at Oda Kunitomo and asked, "So, Mr. Oda, where were you at that time?"

..... .... ...

Oda Kunitomo said, "I was sitting on a chair next to the skating rink, smoking with my back to the fireworks."

"So you don't have a definitive alibi?"

"You could say that."

Watanabe Toru gave a timely hint: "This sister put her hands in her pockets even after she died. This is very strange."

Officer Takagi was stunned and stepped forward to pull Chihiro Itami's hand out.

The victim was holding the cell phone tightly in his hand.

Officer Gao Mu picked up his phone and looked at it. There was nothing on the screen. He mused, "I think he must have been killed before calling the police."

"Press the replay button and you should be able to find out who the last call was made to." Watanabe Toru continued to remind.

Officer Takagi nodded, pressed the replay button, and then was stunned for a moment.

The last number Chihiro Itami dialed was KIX, followed by eight # characters.

Inspector Megure rubbed his chin, confused: "What...what does this mean..."

call out--

Just then, a long sound was heard.

Sonoko exclaimed, "Have the fireworks started again?"

"It's not Sonoko, it's Xiaoche who is imitating the sound of fireworks." Xiaolan said.

Sonoko then noticed that Watanabe Toru was holding a five-yuan coin to his mouth. There was a hole in the middle of the coin, and when Watanabe Toru blew it, it suddenly made a sound similar to fireworks.

255. Xiaolan: Xiaoche is still just a child

"It really does." Sonoko looked at Watanabe Toru. "It's almost exactly the same sound as the fireworks I heard outside the bathroom, a whoosh too."

"Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned. "But when the fireworks started tonight, there were three bursts. Red, yellow, and blue fireworks, all launched into the sky almost at the same time."

"But I clearly only heard one sound..." Sonoko confirmed.

"That's strange." Watanabe Toru pretended to be puzzled. "Could it be that someone, like me, also imitated the sound of fireworks, so that Sister Sonoko mistakenly thought that the fireworks display had begun? If so, then Miss Sano was not killed when the fireworks display began."

Inspector Megure was slightly stunned, then reacted and looked at Sano Izumi and his group, saying, "If the truth is like this, '843', then none of your alibis are valid."

Sano Izumi and the others looked at each other, their mood becoming heavy again.

"Also, I think I've seen the letters KIX somewhere before." Watanabe Toru tilted his head, looking thoughtful. Suddenly, he said, "Oh, I remember. It was at the airport. I saw it at Kansai International Airport."

Kansai International Airport?

Xiaolan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, the abbreviation of Kansai International Airport is KIX."

"I remember Kansai International Airport is located in Izumisano City, Osaka." Sonoko put her index finger on her chin. "It just so happens that Miss Sano's name is in it. Is it a coincidence?"

Sano Izumi's expression changed slightly.

Xiaolan thought thoughtfully: "So, apart from Mr. Oda, Miss Sano and the others' names are all the locations of airports. There are airports in Itami, Misawa, and Komatsu. No wonder Miss Itami said before that if she had to exclude someone, it would definitely be Mr. Oda. In fact, it is because his name is the only one that has no connection with the airport."

Officer Takagi suddenly realized: "So, the KIX on the phone is actually a death message left by the deceased. The murderer is..."

Not only Officer Takagi, but everyone else also looked at Sano Izumi with something strange in their eyes.

Sano Izumi's face turned grim, and he argued, "But just based on this, you can't say I killed someone, right? What if that's the murderer..."

"Huh? There's a long, bloody mark next to the victim's feet." Watanabe Toru suddenly pointed to the ground and said curiously, "This must have been left by the ice skates of the murderer."

Officer Takagi suddenly realized something and said to Izumi Sano, "Ms. Sano, can we check your shoes?"

"Check it out." Sano Izumi lifted his foot and took a look, then said with a wry smile, "There really is blood. I didn't even notice when it got there..."

"Koizumi, is it really you?" Misawa Yasuharu couldn't believe it: "Why..."

Sano Izumi whispered, "Because of Narita, Narita committed suicide because of Itami, I just want to avenge him."

"Narita?"

"But wasn't Narita's death an accident?"

"After Itami dumped him, he pulled the trigger and committed suicide. The police closed the case as an accidental discharge during a gun inspection." Sano Izumi said softly.

"But that doesn't mean she'll be killed." Komatsu Raiko was puzzled.

"If Narita committed suicide just because he was dumped, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing." Sano Izumi turned to look at Oda Kunitomo: "What I can't stand is that woman's two-timing behavior. She's really going too far."

"Two-timing?" Yasuji Misawa wondered.

"Yeah, that day I was at home with a cold, and Narita called me from the clay shooting range. He said he couldn't stand his good friend betraying him... He also said Chihiro and Oda slept together, and he burst into tears while talking."

Yasuharu Misawa couldn't help but say, "But wasn't Oda with you at that time..."

"That's right." Sano Izumi stared at Oda Kunitomo. "Oda clearly knew Narita's feelings, but he was still playing both sides, and he and that woman Chihiro were laughing at us behind our backs."

"You're wrong." Oda Kunitomo turned around and looked at Sano Izumi: "This is the most common excuse Chihiro uses to get out of this situation when she encounters it."

"Then didn't you say the same thing to Narita that day?" Sano Izumi questioned, "He said that when he asked you, you were absent-minded and didn't take him seriously at all..."

"Yes, I'm ashamed to say that." Oda Kunitomo lowered his head. "I really couldn't listen to what Narita said that day, because I was worried about you who was sick in bed with a cold."

Sano Izumi stood there in shock.

Oda Kunitomo looked at Sano Izumi and said, "Maybe I should be the one who dies in your hands today."

Seeing that Sano Izumi was silent, Officer Takagi stepped forward and whispered, "Then please follow me back to the station."

Sano Izumi nodded, turned around with Officer Takagi, took two steps, then paused and said, "Oda, can I trust you... Even if we are separated, you won't change."

"Of course, don't worry." Oda Kunitomo looked at Sano Izumi's back and said firmly, "I have always been a persistent person, and it is difficult for me to change."

"Thank you..." Sano Izumi whispered and left with Officer Takagi.

……

After leaving the tropical paradise, Sonoko said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Mr. Oda, who looks so serious, is actually a man of love and loyalty."

"Yeah." Xiaolan nodded, but for some reason, her voice was a little low.

Sonoko saw what her best friend was thinking, and she nudged Xiaolan's shoulder with her elbow and said, "Are you thinking about that Kudo guy again? Compared to Mr. Oda, Kudo is really bad. If you ask me, Xiaolan, you are still 2.9 and you have dumped him."

"Sonoko." Xiaolan gave her a glare: "Shinichi and I are not that kind of relationship."

"Yes, yes, yes." Sonoko didn't care about Xiaolan's insincerity, changed the subject, and looked at Watanabe Toru: "But Xiao Toru is really amazing, he can think of so many clues."

Watanabe Toru scratched his head and said, "I learned all this from Uncle Maori. If he were here, he would definitely be able to find out who the murderer is much faster."

Yuanzi rolled her eyes and suddenly said, "Xiao Che, if your sister suddenly killed someone one day, would you..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiaolan interrupted him: "Sonoko, what are you talking about? Murder... Besides, Xiaotetsu is just a child."

256. Being followed together with Suzuki Tomoko

"Okay, okay, I'm just saying it casually." Sonoko curled her lips, feeling a little regretful. She suddenly wanted to know what Watanabe Toru was thinking in this situation. Even though she knew Watanabe Toru was still a child, she just wanted to know...

Watanabe Toru thought about it seriously and said, "I won't be like Mr. Oda."

"Huh?" Yuanzi was stunned.

Watanabe Toru continued, "I will give Sister Sonoko one hundred percent security. I won't let you overthink things, and I won't let you make such a mistake."

Sonoko looked at Watanabe Toru with her bright eyes, and felt her heart being stirred.

If Xiaolan hadn't been right next to her, she would have hugged Watanabe Toru and expressed her feelings at the moment with a kiss.

……

Beika-cho, the villa of the Tozawa family.

Tozawa Taichi handed the document to his younger brother, Tozawa Tatsuji, and said helplessly, "The group's performance has been declining recently. If this continues, the Tozawa Group will probably be doomed."

Fuze Tatsuji flipped through the documents and said solemnly, "Those groups that have a good relationship with the Fuze Group, can we ask them for help?"

Tomizawa Taichi sneered, "When father was alive, the Tomizawa Group was thriving, so naturally those groups tried to curry favor with us. But now that father is gone, those guys have been avoiding us. What an ungrateful bunch."

Fuze Tatsuji sighed: "Brother, do you have any ideas?"

A hint of gloom flashed across Tomizawa Tai's eyes. "The Tomizawa Group is in this state today because of the Suzuki Group. If we don't have a good life, they won't have an easy life either."

"Brother, what do you want to do?"

Taichi Tomizawa whispered something in his brother's ear.

Tomizawa Tatsuji was surprised and hesitated: "Isn't this too risky? What if they find out? This..."

Taichi Tomizawa interrupted, "So what if they know? With this kind of evidence in hand, unless the Suzuki Group wants to become the biggest joke in the entire Wano Country, they definitely won't dare to speak out."

"How about we discuss this with Butler Tsuburaya?"

Tomizawa Taichi frowned and said, "This is our Tomizawa family's business. What does it have to do with a butler like him? Tatsuji, think about how your father and Yuzo died. Everything we do is just to pay back what the Suzuki Group owes us."

"Okay." Fuze Tatsuji was finally convinced: "Then I'll make arrangements in the next two days."

"Well, remember to find people with simple social connections. This way it will be easier to deal with later."

"I see."

……

November 10th, sunny.

On the streets of Beika-cho, elementary school students going home from school part at the intersection.

"goodbye!"

"See you tomorrow!"

"Bye-Bye!"

The weather was getting colder and colder. A gust of cold wind blew and hit Watanabe Toru's face, making him shiver.

He wanted to go home quickly, drink a cup of hot tea and warm himself up.

squeak--

A red Mercedes stopped beside him, the window rolled down, revealing a bright and handsome face.

"Toru." Tomoko Suzuki looked at Toru Watanabe with a smile.

"Huh? It's Aunt Tomoko." Toru Watanabe was a little surprised to meet Suzuki Tomoko here.

"Is Xiaotetsu going home after school?" asked Tomoko Suzuki.

"Yeah." Watanabe Toru nodded.

"Then Auntie will take you home, get in the car."

"Thank you, Auntie." Watanabe Toru was feeling cold, but he didn't refuse. He walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door and got in.

Suzuki Tomoko stepped on the accelerator and drove away with her beloved godson.

"Auntie, are you doing some business nearby?"

In the car, Watanabe Toru asked casually.

Suzuki Tomoko smiled faintly: "I just happened to be doing beauty care here. By the way, Xiao Che, when will you come to visit Auntie's house? Auntie still hasn't thanked you properly for what happened last time."

The last incident referred to the "Dark Star". After all, Watanabe Toru took the "Egg of Memories" for himself and then gave it to Pu Siqinglan.

"No need, Auntie." Watanabe Toru said, "Actually, I didn't do anything."

"The importance of the Dark Star to the Suzuki family is self-evident. You also saved Auntie from becoming a sinner of the Suzuki family." Suzuki Tomoko

The voice was pleasant: "Also, Xiao Che, Auntie has always liked you. Would you like to be Auntie's godson? Your uncle Shi Lang has agreed to this. If you are willing, I would like to meet you."

Doesn’t that mean Yuanzi is my godsister?

Even though it's already half done.

Watanabe Toru said vaguely: "Then I will talk to my uncle about this when I get back. I think they should...eh..."
