Chapter 420 Philip's Reasoning
The next day, early in the morning.
Zenon Hotel, between heaven and sea.
All the people involved in this incident were gathered in this medium-sized hall.
"Inspector Terui, is that enough? Whether you are waiting for a detective or not, let us detain Zenkonguji Kasumi first, and then consider whether her testimony is true or false." The detective from the Fuuto Homicide Division looked at Terui Ryu and said rudely.
Shindo Atsushi was murdered last night, and the only suspect is Zenkongji Kasumi.
Although Zenkongji Kasumi has told the story several times, the detectives from the Fuuto Homicide Division do not believe it.
Terui Ryu used his power to detain Zenkongji Kasumi for a night, but this was his limit.
Faced with the impatience of the homicide detectives, Terui Ryu frowned and was about to say something.
Philip, who had been missing for a whole night, returned in time with Ming Hai Ya Shuzi.
"Sorry, we're late."
"Shotaro-kun!" When Kasumi Zenkongji saw Philip coming, a hint of genuine joy flashed in her eyes.
"Sorry for the wait, Miss Kasumi." Philip gave Zenkongji Kasumi a reassuring look, then turned to look at the detectives from the homicide department and said, "Please give us some time. This is a case involving supernormal crimes. If we indiscriminately attribute it to the category of ordinary cases, it will inevitably distort the outline of the entire incident."
"But, detective, the murder weapon stuck in Shindo Atsushi's back is the sword left by the late Zenkongji Yoshizo. In other words, it now belongs to Miss Kasumi and her fingerprints are on it." The detective from the homicide department explained.
"This was done by a killer who used Zero's memory. I saw him with my own eyes throwing a sword and killing someone while wearing gloves. The sword was probably stolen in advance because he planned to frame Miss Kasumi from the beginning." Philip explained.
"That's right. I've said it many times. I was kidnapped by Shindo, and then Shotaro rescued me...and that's when Shindo was stabbed to death by a man dressed in black!" said Kasumi Zenkongji.
Kasumi Zenkongji only concealed the fact that Philip transformed into Kamen Rider Cyclone.
"What a joke! Shindo is my fiancé, how could I do such a thing to someone like you!" Zenkongji Reiko's words were extremely harsh.
"He said it himself. 'I am Reiko's slave, and she ordered me to push Kasumi off the cliff as soon as I got the chance.' They hired a killer to silence him, probably because they were afraid that he would reveal the matter." Philip said.
Zenkuji Reiko's face froze, and she looked angry and embarrassed. When she was about to say something, Zenkuji Shunying stopped her, looked at Philip with a smile, and said, "You seem to want to put the hat of the bad guys on our heads no matter what. But as we have said many times, we are not prisoners. If you want to play the role of Kasumi's knight, please go to the detention center to do it."
As he spoke, he gestured to the detectives from the homicide department to come in.
"You seem to have misunderstood something, Zenkongji Shunying. I'm not here to protect Miss Kasumi, but to save your life." Philip walked forward, looked at Zenkongji Shunying, and said.
Phillip's words stunned everyone around him.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from a hidden corner of the hall and pounced on Chankongji Junying.
Philip, who was well prepared, quickly stepped forward and blocked Chankongji Junying behind him.
The black shadow that failed in its attack had to fall to the ground. It was the Zoo memory in the shape of a mechanical beast.
As soon as Zoo landed, he immediately jumped back and hid in the shadows again.
"You'd better stop it. I already understand your purpose, so please stop here and surrender to the police...Ms. Yumioka Azusa." Philip looked at Yumioka Azusa with burning eyes and said.
Everyone was startled and subconsciously looked at Yumioka Azusa.
"Sure enough...you noticed it, Mr. Zuo." Yumioka Azusa was silent for a moment and then spoke.
"You saved me because you believed that I would stand on Miss Kasumi's side. Since Zoo is not Miss Kasumi, you are the only one involved in this matter who might save me," said Philip.
"The criminal is Yumioka?" Zenkōji Kasumi looked at Yumioka Azusa and asked in confusion, "Why? Why would you do such a thing?"
"To protect you." Yumioka Azusa said.
After Yumioka Azusa admitted his identity, except for Terui Ryu, all the other police officers were on high alert against Yumioka Azusa, and some even held up their guns.
"Please wait a moment, don't be impulsive, let me finish what I want to say!" Philip ran to the middle and shouted.
"Please listen to me, Ms. Yumioka."
Philip gathered his thoughts and said, "The characteristic of this incident is that the true identity of the dopant - the criminal - is completely unrelated to the malicious intent that triggered the incident. That's why it's difficult for me to see the outline of the incident."
"It looks like the dope wants to get the inheritance and is acting in secret for this purpose. However, the real evil is someone else who wants to get the inheritance even if it means killing his own brothers and sisters and indulging in his own selfish desires... It's you, Zenkuji Toshiei."
Philip said, pointing to Zenkongji Junying who was standing in the crowd.
The cold smile on Zenkongji Junying's face suddenly disappeared.
"Zenkongji Shunei is the real murderer? Is that why you used the term 'enemy'?" asked Terui Ryu.
"Yes, 'enemy' and 'criminal' are not the same thing. The culprit of all this is Zenkōji Toshihide, and Ms. Yumioka just wanted to protect Miss Kasumi from him. I won't say that she is not a bad person, but at least her motive is out of love for Miss Kasumi. The one with the real evil intentions is Zenkōji Toshihide." Philip said.
"Do you mean that I killed Kasumi just because I wanted the little bit of assets in Kasumi's hands?" asked Zenkongji Toshiyo.
"In terms of its value as a tourist resource or land, Qinshan is indeed not that valuable. But you are focusing on something different. Your goal is to 'refining the factory'." Philip said coldly.
"Here it comes! Factory something!" Ming Hai Yashuzi echoed in a low voice.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Zenkōji Shunei and Zenkōji Reiko also became gloomy.
"Refining factory...Refining factory, I see!" Terui Ryuya understood.
"That's right, Terui Ryu. These people have already established connections with the organization, and they are planning to build a Gaia memory refinery." Philip said.
In addition to the detectives from the Homicide Division, people like Hatano, Makura, and Asuko, who knew something about the organization, also showed expressions of surprise.
"I found a corner of the sub-mountain where trees were abnormally dry and had become dilapidated." Philip explained, "This seems to be due to overheating caused by G microwaves."
"G microwaves are special electromagnetic waves that are indispensable in the refining of Gaia Memory. To build a Gaia Memory factory, there are several necessary elements - a building with a wide base area and considerable depth, and a high degree of airtightness to ensure the safe use of G microwaves."
"I guess a preliminary experiment was done in the underground facilities near the villa. But the G microwaves interfered with the outside world, causing natural depletion."
"Well, it's just become dry as if it was baked in a microwave oven. It's not appropriate to use it as a secret facility."
"If we want to build a bigger facility, we need a bigger mountain."
The Zenkongji siblings said nothing, and everyone else listened attentively, except for the detective from the homicide department who was still confused.
"Zhao, Zhao Jing, what is he talking about? It won't prevent us from following the rules, right?"
"Don't ask me any questions." Terui Ryuu couldn't stand it any longer, so he grabbed the detective's collar and said angrily, "There should be a limit to factionalism. I don't want to use force against my colleagues in the Fuuto Police Department, so could you please shut up and let us handle the matter?"
Under Terui Ryu's gaze, the detectives from the homicide department also fell silent.
Terui Ryu loosened the other's collar, turned to look at Philip, and said, "Zuo, you continue."
Philip nodded and simply recounted the entire story.
In short, the museum approached Zenkōji Toshihide to build a Gaia Memory factory.
Toshihide Zenkōji thinks that Osaka is a good place to build a Gaia memory factory, so he plans to get rid of his half-sister, Kasumi Zenkōji.
However, after the Zenkōji siblings failed to obtain the mountain through legal means, they planned to use Gaia's memory to assassinate Zenkōji Kasumi.
As a result, the plan was discovered by Yumioka Azusa, who then sent a threatening letter in the name of Zenkongji Yoshizo, leading to the initial attack.
Yumioka Azusa also took the opportunity to seize the Zoo Memory and used it to attack the Zenkongji brothers and sisters.
However, what neither side expected was that Zenkongji Kasumi actually hired a detective herself.
Then, there was the Zoo Dopant attack that occurred after Philip arrived at the Chankongji family villa.
"Am I right, Ms. Yumioka?" Philip asked.
"That's true. As expected of a famous detective, his reasoning is almost accurate." Yumioka Azusa smiled and admitted it.
"It seems that there are a lot of questions that need you to answer, Zenkongji Toshiei." Terui Ryu looked at Zenkongji Toshiei and said.
Facing the gaze from Zui Jinglong, a slight wave of hesitation appeared on Zenkongji Reiko's face, but Zenkongji Shunying still pretended to be calm.
"Wait a minute." Zenkongji Chaomei stood up, looked at Terui Ryu and the others with tears in her eyes, and said in a tearful voice, "What you just said was just your one-sided reasoning! Do you think my husband is a bad person just based on this?"
"Wasn't it Yumioka who actually used that memory? Please punish her before you blame my husband! And Kasumi's matter can't just be left unresolved!"
Hearing these words, several detectives from the Homicide Division immediately perked up and showed expressions of approval.
Yumioka Azusa's face tensed, and he said, "It seems that I can't give up just like that... Mr. Zuo."
Oh no! We must stop her!
Philip was anxious, but Zenkongji Chaomei grabbed Philip's clothes tightly, making it impossible for him to get away.
When Philip was in a dilemma, an incredible voice suddenly came from the direction of the hall door.
"Remember this, partner. Women's tears can sometimes be used as a weapon."
“This is my real experience.”
Philip looked back and a man in a blue shirt, black jacket and black hat immediately came into view.
He lifted his hat slightly, revealing that very familiar face.
It’s the real Shotaro Sa!
Seeing Zuo Shotaro appearing here, everyone who knew Zuo Shotaro swallowed the words "Zuo" and "Shotaro" that were about to come out of their mouths, and in the end only Ming Hai Akiko's catchphrase was heard.
"I haven't heard of that!"
Shotaro Zuo walked in, wearing a blue shirt, paired with his usual black hat and jacket, looking incredibly capable.
"Who are you?" asked the detective from the homicide department.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Philip. I'm Shotaro Zuo's partner and a full-time errand runner." Shotaro Zuo came to Philip, patted Philip's shoulder, and then winked at Philip.
Seeing Shotaro Zuo coming, Philip also felt a sense of relief in his heart.
"I never thought I would notice nothing when I saw a beautiful woman's face. It seems that your cold is really serious. When I looked at the relevant personnel information sent by Akiko, the first person I noticed was you. Ms. Zenkuji Asami."
As he spoke, Shotaro Zuo showed a photo that was taken by a bat camera and contained many people.
In the photo, Harakaze City Council member Kusuhara Masaharu is talking to a beautiful woman with long hair and glasses.
At this time, Shotaro Zuo took out another photo, in which the woman was enlarged.
Those eyebrows, eyes, and teardrop mole are very similar to Chankongji Chaomei.
"There was an incident in the past where Councillor Kusuhara Masaru was threatened, and we were entrusted by her to act as her bodyguards." Shotaro Sa looked at Zenkōji Asami and said loudly.
"In fact, the planned construction site of the second Wind City Tower she was trying to build was the Gaia Memory Factory of the Organization, and the threat was caused by the owner of the factory."
"This photo was taken when Councillor Kusuhara was negotiating the land deal."
"Because we thought the intimidator might be nearby, everyone who approached her was photographed for reference."
Pointing at Zenkōji Asami, Shotaro Sae continued, "And this woman is the one who came to recommend land somewhere else to Councillor Kusuhara, hoping that Councillor Kusuhara would use it as construction land."
"Looking back, I realize that those people who tried to divert Councillor Kusuhara's attention from that piece of land were all suspicious. They might all be members of the organization. This woman... her name is Iwase Asami, which is your old surname."
"It turns out that she is the liaison between the organization and the Zenkongji family..." Terui Ryu sighed.
"Well, that's what happened. She married Zenkōji Toshihide half a year ago, and since then there was Soji's death and this series of events. In other words, partner, except for Miss Kasumi, the Zenkōji family has been working for the organization." Shotaro Sae threw the photo in his hand to Zenkōji Asami.
Zenkongji Chaomei fell into complete silence.
