Chapter 371 Crime sequence according to poker (Ch 371)

Just like going to the supermarket to buy drinks, if you find that the lid of the drink has been opened, normal people will not buy it. Now that Hibiki Eri received a box of chocolates that had been opened and resealed, she naturally did not dare to eat it.

Coupled with the paper flowers sent along with the chocolates, people felt that something was wrong… so Eri Kisaki chose to call the police.

The police arrived at the scene soon, but the team was led by Miwako Sato, and Detective Takagi followed her.

“Why are you two here today?” Xiaolan asked curiously. She knew that Inspector Megure was in the hospital, but where did Inspector Shiratori go?

Sato replied, “Shiratori is off on another case.”

Gao Mu couldn’t help but sigh, “A young man named Gojo Osamu was killed, and before his death he was lynched. It’s so tragic.”

“But he deserved to be put to death. After all, a lot of videos were found in his computer ‘267’. He was a scum who even molested little girls.” Sato was not averse to the use of lynching.

In the original work, Sato wanted to kill the criminal himself.

“Gojo Osamu?” Xiaolan was startled and asked Mochizuki hurriedly, “Mochizuki, the young man who had bad intentions towards Ai at Shijing Lihua’s party the day before yesterday seemed to be Gojo Osamu, right?”

Mochizuki nodded seriously, pretending to know nothing about the case, “Yes, that is indeed the name.”

Sato hurriedly asked Mochizuki about it, and Mochizuki told him the whole story. After hearing that Ai was almost harmed, they felt that Gojo Osamu deserved to die.

“Officer Sato.” The forensic officer came to report after conducting a simple test on the chocolate. “Organophosphorus pesticides were found in the chocolate, but we don’t know exactly what kind of pesticide it is.”

“Okay, I understand.” Sato nodded.

Xiaolan turned pale with fear. “The chocolate was poisoned? Who on earth did this?”

Kisaki Eri was also very happy. Fortunately, Kogoro came today. If Kogoro was not here today, she would have subconsciously thought that the chocolate was sent by Kogoro after receiving it…

“Who on earth wants to harm me?” Fei Yingxiang was confused.

Takagi thought for a moment and said, “If the criminal this time is the same one who attacked Inspector Megure, then it means that the other party has a grudge against both Inspector Megure and Attorney Hime.”

Officer Sato thought so too. Inspector Megure was a policeman and Eri Kisaki was a lawyer. Perhaps they had participated in a case together. The criminal had a grudge against them because of that case.

Mochizuki knew the plot and realized that this was not the case.

Kogoro showed an expression of incomprehension. “If it is really the same criminal, why did he leave a paper sword last time and a paper flower this time? Does this have any special meaning?”

Mochizuki didn’t believe that Kogoro still couldn’t guess it, he must be playing dumb, so he took the initiative to explain. “The paper sword and paper flowers look very similar to the patterns on playing cards.”

“Poker cards?” Sato was puzzled.

Wangyue told them: “The king on the King of Spades is holding a paper sword in his hand, and the queen on the Spades is holding a flower in her hand.”

Upon hearing this, Officer Takagi immediately took out his phone and searched for the pattern on the playing cards, and found that it was indeed the case. “Ah! It’s really like that!”

Sato felt that this was too coincidental, “Could this just be a coincidence?”

“No, this is not a coincidence.” Mochizuki added: “Have you noticed something? Inspector Megure’s name is Megure Jusan, and the King of a playing card is exactly 13. The word “His” in Attorney Hime’s name is the English word “ueen”, which just corresponds to the number on a playing card.”

Hibiki was stunned. If Mochizuki hadn’t said it, she really wouldn’t have noticed this detail. I correspond to the playing cards?

In fact, there is a sentence that Mochizuki doesn’t know whether to complain about. Inspector Megure is the king and Eri Kisaki is the queen, doesn’t this mean… ahem!

Mochizuki seemed to see the scene where Inspector Megure patted Kogoro on the shoulder and called him “Brother Mori”.

Back to the topic, one coincidence may be a coincidence, but when so many coincidences are added together, everyone realizes that this is not a coincidence, but a carefully planned one by someone.

“The criminal is committing crimes according to the order of the playing cards?” Xiaolan felt very scared after hearing what Mochizuki said, “There are 13 cards from K to A, doesn’t this mean that there will be 11 more victims next?” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Sato and Takagi’s faces darkened. Sato said, “And these people seem to be related to Mr. Maori. Mr. Maori, among your acquaintances, are there any names related to Eleven or J?”

“This…” Kogoro really couldn’t think of such a person for a moment.

Takagi exclaimed, “Ah! I remember now! Wasn’t there a prisoner named Murakami Jō who was released from prison last week? I saw on the news that he was caught by Mr. Mori, and he was also a casino dealer…”

Of course, not the kind where sexy dealers deal cards online.

……[]

Officer Takagi suspected that Murakami was the criminal, but in fact, Murakami was not only not the criminal, but he could even be said to be a victim, because in a residential area in Tokyo, Murakami was tied up in a room.

He sat on a chair with his upper body tied to the backrest and his lower body tied to the legs, unable to move.

His mouth was still sealed with tape, the prisoner did this to prevent him from calling for help, but his eyes were not covered, probably because he had already seen the prisoner’s face, so there was no need to cover his eyes.

With a creaky sound, the door opened and a figure walked in. Murakami thought the person was the prisoner Zemu Kouhei, because Zemu would come to deliver food to him every day after he imprisoned him.

However, when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he was stunned for a moment, because the person who came was not Zemu Kouhei, but someone he did not know.

The mysterious man was also stunned when he saw Murakami Jō, as if he didn’t expect that there would be a person tied to the chair here.

“Wuwuwu!” Seeing that the person coming was not Zemu, Murakami Jō whimpered for help, hoping that this person could rescue him.

However, the man just looked at him and said, “I remember you looked like Murakami Jō who was released from prison last month? 0.0 I saw you on the news.”

Murakami nodded hurriedly.

“Is it Zemu Gongping who locked you up here?” the man asked again.

Murakami nodded again.

The man did not intend to untie Murakami, but frowned and thought. While thinking, he walked around the room again and found a piece of paper on the table.

“Plan?” The mysterious man picked up the plan and read it carefully. When he finished reading it, an expression of enlightenment appeared on his face.

“I see! No wonder Sawaki wanted to attack Inspector Megure, it turns out this was the first step of his criminal plan! Megure Jusan is the King of a playing card, and then there’s… What a great idea!”

Committing the crime in the order of the playing cards would prevent the police from investigating and eventually pin the blame on Murakami Takeru… Thinking of this, the mysterious man was tempted.
