Chapter 874: The Incident in the Apartment Building

Sunday, January 14, at 8:30 in the morning, Tama City.

Mori and Yamazaki take the tram on the Loop Line at Mihua Station to Shinjuku Station, then transfer to the tram on the Keio Line and Keio Sagamihara Line of Keio Railway to Tama Center Station.

After leaving the station, Mao Li looked at the Tokiwa Twin Towers not too far away and couldn't help but admire: "It is indeed the number one in China, it is so tall."

"They are being renovated internally, and it is estimated that they will open in a while." Yamazaki asked with a smile, "Uncle, do you want to go up and have a look?"

"No, no, it's more comfortable down here." Mao Li said hastily. ...

Soon after, the two arrived at Tokiwa Plaza in the main Tokiwa Twin Buildings by bus, and found the cake and coffee cafe that the client had mentioned on the phone.

The two sat for a while, and Mao Li's mobile phone rang. When Mao Li saw that it was the client's phone number, he was about to answer it. A man in his twenties came over with his mobile phone, "Is this Mr. Mao Li?"

"I am, this is my assistant Yamazaki." Mori put the cigarette in the ashtray and got up and said, "You must be Mr. Joji Ueda, the client. Please sit down."

Ueda Joji frowned and looked at the cigarette, "Please come with me to my apartment, we can talk about the details on the way, is that okay?"

Maori put out the cigarette. "Okay then, please."...

After a while, on the road.

Ueda Joji said: "The thing is like this, my classmate Mitsuo Yoshimura often receives harassing calls at night recently, and yesterday he also received a threatening letter written in red paint."

"Didn't you call the police?" Maori asked.

"I reacted when I received the harassing call, but the police didn't make any progress except to find out a mobile phone number." Ueda Joji said, "So we decided to ask you to help us solve this incident after receiving the letter. We are currently doing an internship in the hospital, and Yoshimura was very troubled by this incident, and even drank to drink away his sorrows, if there is something wrong with working in the hospital because of this, it will be troublesome."

"I see." Mori asked, "So, where is Mr. Yoshimura?"

"He lives in the same apartment building as me. He drank a lot of wine last night, and now he still has a headache and doesn't want to move. So, I will invite you alone. Please forgive me." Ueda Joji said.

"It's okay, you're being serious." Mao Li smiled.

Ueda Joji looked at his watch, "Mr. Mori, Mr. Yamazaki, we have to go to the hospital in the afternoon, so..."

"Okay, you just lead the way." Maori said.

Yamazaki looked at Ueda Joji who was leading the way and frowned. He felt danger from Ueda Joji just now. Could this be another person who asked his uncle to prove his alibi? Now he doesn't have the murderous aura after killing, that is to say, he hasn't done anything yet, or he has set up a trap and waited for a certain time to come.

Yamazaki looked at his mobile phone, it was less than nine o'clock in the morning, so it was exactly nine o'clock? So it's around here.

Thinking of this, Yamazaki asked: "Mr. Ueda, may I ask which apartment building you live in, and how far away is it?"

"Ah, that apartment on the sixth floor," Ueda Joji said, pointing to an apartment not far away. "He lives in room 501, and I live in room 601."

"What's wrong?" Molly asked.

"Uncle, I think something might happen." Yamazaki smiled in Maori's ear.

"No way? Come again?" Mao Li's expression was not very good, and he continued, "Forget it, hurry over and have a look." He said and ran.

"Mr. Mori, this is..." Joji Ueda asked suspiciously.

"There may be an incident, let's go quickly." Mao Li said indifferently.

"Things, incidents!" Ueda Joji's face changed.

"Let's go, Mr. Ueda, I hope we can catch up." Yamazaki said. ...

Moments later, the apartment building.

Seeing Moori, Yamazaki, and Joji Ueda running in,

The administrator ran over and shouted, "Stop, who are you?"

"Get out of the way, I'm the detective Mori Kogoro, I'm going up to save people." Mao Li pushed away the manager and ran to the elevator.

"Mao, Mori Kogoro!" The administrator was taken aback.

Yamazaki reminded: "Uncle, it's faster to take the stairs on the fifth floor."

"Then take the stairs." Maori immediately ran to the stairs. ...

A moment later, 501 is outside.

Maoli knocked on the door loudly but no one answered, so he broke in. When the three of them walked into the living room, an alarm sounded from upstairs. It sounded like it was from the balcony. Yamazaki knew it was time, so he said, "Uncle, people are upstairs. Room."

"What?" Maori immediately turned back and ran upstairs, while Yamazaki ran to the balcony, ready to climb up from there, but as soon as he reached the balcony, he saw a figure falling from the top with screams, and he rushed on it, and finally kicked He caught him in the air by hooking the head and feet of the balcony railing, and threw him into the balcony on the fourth floor, then he grabbed the inside of the ceiling of the balcony on the fourth floor and turned into the balcony on the fourth floor.

"Do you still know who you are?" Yamazaki squatted down and asked the young man lying on the ground gasping for breath and still in shock, and then checked his body.

The man swallowed, "I, my name is Mitsuo Yoshimura, thank you so much." Then he said fearfully, "If you hadn't caught me in time, I... thank you so much."

"I am conscious, and my body seems to be fine," Yamazaki said, then got up and called Mori on his mobile phone, "Uncle, Mr. Mitsuo Yoshimura and I are on the balcony on the fourth floor."

"Fourth floor?" Maori was surprised, "Why did you go there?"

"Let's talk about this meeting." Yamazaki said, "There is no one here now, please ask the administrator to come over."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Maori said.

"Uncle, remember to bring Mr. Ueda with you," Yamazaki said.

"Mr. Ueda?" Mori asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with him?"

Yamazaki said: "It should be, anyway, don't let him out of your sight."

"I see," Molly said.

"See you later, Uncle." Yamazaki said, and hung up the mobile phone.

Mitsuo Yoshimura asked: "You mentioned Ueda just now, did he really harm me?"

"You immediately thought that Mr. Ueda harmed you. It seems that there is a grudge between you." Yamazaki asked, "May I know what it is?"

"Ah, this, this..." Yoshimura Mitsuo hesitated to speak.

"Understood, it seems to be something that can't be seen." Yamazaki said, and then saw that Mitsuo Yoshimura's face changed, and knew that he had guessed right.

At this time, Yamazaki heard the sound of the door opening and greeted him, explaining to Maori and the administrator that they fell to the balcony on the fourth floor because they fell from a building.

The administrator was a little embarrassed, "Nevertheless, it's just..."

At this time, two young men, a man and a woman, came over with food and daily necessities, "Hey, what are you doing here at our house?"

"It's just in time for you to come." The administrator was overjoyed, and then introduced the two parties and explained.

I heard that Kogoro Mori was in person, and the residents were overjoyed. It turned out that they were fans of Mori. Not only did the residents not pursue the matter of Yamazaki and Mitsuo Yoshimura breaking into the room, nor did they search their belongings. Asking for an autograph made Mori very happy.

After Maori had dealt with the enthusiastic fans, Yamazaki pulled Mori aside, and whispered his conjecture in Maori's ear, that Joji Ueda and Mitsuo Yoshimura might have done something shady, so that Joji Ueda wanted to kill someone .

"I see." Mori said, and then stepped forward to Ueda Joji and Yoshimura Mitsuo, "You two gentlemen..."

"Well, Mr. Mori, I'm fine. I think this commission should end here." Mitsuo Yoshimura said, and then asked Joji Ueda, "Is that right, Ueda?"

"That's right," Ueda Joji said, "Mr. Mori, we still have something to do, so you can go back first, and the commission fee will be sent to you later."

"Ha, you want to send my detective Moori Kogoro away like this, who do you think I am?" Maoli smiled confidently, "Even letting people who intend to kill themselves like this, what you did is definitely not a trivial matter. So Let me tell you, I will take care of this matter to the end, no matter what you have done, I will definitely investigate and find out, if you are sensible, just say it obediently."

"This..." Yoshimura Mitsuo and Ueda Joji probably looked at each other's pale face, and didn't speak for a while.

"The two of you should know that there is a big difference in sentencing whether you repent and surrender." Yamazaki said, "Please don't mistake yourself."

"Okay, okay." Ueda Joji seemed to be much more relaxed.

"Ueda!" Mitsuo Yoshimura shouted in panic.

"Otherwise what else?" Ueda Joji said with a sad smile.

"This... alas!" Mitsuo Yoshimura seemed to have lost a lot of anger.

"Well, let's go upstairs and talk now," Molly said. ...

Room 501, living room.

After Yamazaki served the tea, Mori asked Yoshimura Mitsuo and Ueda Joji: "Okay, which one of you will speak first?"

"Let me do it." Ueda Joji said, "I lost a lot of money in stocks last year, and even the tuition fees for the next semester became a problem. When I was drinking with Yoshimura, I complained to him, and he told me a way to make money."

Maori asked, "What method?"

"Prescription." Ueda Joji sighed.

"What's the problem?" Maori was puzzled.

"Uncle, the ingredients for the awakening agent." Yamazaki reminded.

"What!" Maori was taken aback.

"That's right, it's the raw material of the awakening agent. I didn't realize this until later, but it was too late." Ueda Joji said, "I asked Yoshimura to question him, and he said that if he didn't do it, there would be a dead end, so I Keep writing prescriptions as Yoshimura said, and collect money from him."

"A dead end?" Maori asked, "Is the other party a big organization?"

"I don't know, the person I know is Yoshimura." Ueda Joji said, "I accidentally found that I got much less money than Yoshimura, and I got him drunk during the Chinese New Year, and then I realized that I was actually working for Yoshimura. , he is the only one in my business, so I planned today's event."

Yamazaki asked: "I didn't find traces of being tied up from Mr. Yoshimura. How did you let him jump off the building?"

Maori said: "I saw a platform as high as the highest railing on the balcony on the sixth floor. I am afraid that Mr. Yoshimura slept on it."

Ueda Joji said: "Yes, last night we drank here first at Yoshimura, and moved upstairs to my place at night. Yoshimura slept with me afterwards. When I went out to find Mr. Mori just now, I put Yoshimura on the balcony. , and set the alarm clock. When he woke up and got out of bed in his habitual direction, he fell, and I also had an alibi. Even if the police suspected me, they could not find any strong evidence, and as long as I told the police Regarding Yoshimura’s prescribing, the police will think that Yoshimura committed suicide because of his confusion after drinking because of fear.”

"That's right," Molly said.

Ueda Joji said, "That's all I want to say."

Maori asked Yoshimura Mitsuo: "Mr. Yoshimura, what do you want to say?"

"I..." Mitsuo Yoshimura licked his lips, "After I entered university, I went to a bar to drink and was blackmailed on the way back. He took my student ID card and asked me to give him medicine. I had no choice but to steal it. I gave him some medicine, and he used it as a threat to ask me to provide him with medicine for a long time. I said I couldn’t do it, so he gave me money and taught me how to become a person who manages medicine in the laboratory, and then I was pulled in. Well, after becoming a doctor, he will write a prescription, and he will send someone to the pharmacy to buy it. That's all I know."

"So, do you still remember how much money you have collected over the years, and how much money is left?" Mao Li said, "If the amount is similar, you can get a reduced sentence after paying the money."

"I can't remember how much I received, but I have never dared to use it. I still have nearly 100 million yen." Mitsuo Yoshimura asked worriedly, "Will there be any problems?"

"Me too," Ueda Joji said, "I still have more than two million yen."

"I can't answer this for you, it depends on the investigation of the police." Maori said, "Okay, Mr. Ueda, Mr. Yoshimura, I will accompany you to the Metropolitan Police Department to surrender, and you can think about the details on the way. .”…
