NOVEL NEXT Chapter 71: falling from the sky
There was a piercing scream in the Maeda mansion.
Tsushima Shuji: It's so noisy.
He looked down at the corpse that fell into a pool at his feet.
Really, no matter how beautiful a lady is, after jumping like this, it has nothing to do with beauty.
"Tsushima-kun?" Amuro on the side reminded.
It's hard for you to have no reaction like this.
"...Xuzhi?" Maeda and his son, who hurried down, also shouted not far away.
The boy stood beside the pool of blood, his body was splattered with blood, the white bandage on his face was also stained red with blood, and he was holding a white rose dripping with blood in his hand.
Hearing their call, his expression was dazed and melancholy when he raised his head.
It was Mrs. Maeda who died...
It's me... my father's sister...
The relatives we met for the first time...
The boy looked up at the people around him, and then looked down at the corpse at his feet.
As if he just realized that it was his relatives who died, he fell down weakly, and was caught by Toru Amuro who was prepared.
Shuji Tsushima: It was very accurate. /applaud
I don't want to fall on a dirty corpse.
Not even the corpse of a beautiful lady.
He silently gave Amuro a thumbs up.
He was forcibly pushed back by the opponent.
"A person who faints doesn't give a thumbs up, Tsushima-kun." Amuro Toru looked anxious and worried. He seemed to lower his head to check the boy's breathing, but he actually whispered in his ear.
Tsushima Shuji: It's still your major.
The white rose in the boy's hand fell in the middle of the pool of blood.
"Sorry, can I bring Tsushima-kun into the house? I'm afraid his body won't be able to bear it when he lies on the ground like this." After Toru Amuro checked the youth team's breathing, he raised his head and looked worried.
After getting a positive answer again, he immediately picked up the man.
Shuji Tsushima, who was hit on the stomach by Amuro's shoulder: Huh.
The Maeda family spontaneously maintained the crime scene.
and called the police.
Maeda and his son were also sitting on the sofa in the living room. The middle-aged man was panic-stricken, while the young man remained calm.
"I don't know what's going on... I don't know..." Mr. Maeda clenched his fists.
"Calm down, father." Maeda Ritsu also reminded calmly.
"As the backbone of the family, your behavior is too rude." He said mercilessly.
As if the corpse outside was an irrelevant person.
"...You're right..." Mr. Maeda took a deep breath and calmed down.
"How is Xiuzhi? Are you okay?" He asked Amuro Toru worriedly.
Amuro glanced at the peaceful boy sleeping on the sofa, and was silent for a moment.
Nodding, shaking his head again.
"I'm afraid it is too heavy for him to witness the death of his relatives." He said deeply.
Mr. Maeda nodded, as if he understood.
"After all, it's the second time I've seen my relative's death... It must have hurt Shuji a lot..." Mr. Maeda shook his head.
"Sorry, the second time... what do you mean?" Toru Amuro asked curiously.
"Eleven years ago, the child's parents... died in a fire. It is said that when Shuji was found, he was standing beside the bodies of their husband and wife..." Mr. Maeda said sadly and regretfully.
"Is that so..." Amuro looked thoughtfully at the peaceful young man with his eyes closed.
Kao, is his surname really Tsushima?
Or, the real Shuji Tsushima... is already dead? Replaced by members of the current organization?
The sound of a police car came from outside the door.
…
"The deceased is..." asked the police officer Mumu who led the team.
Everyone came to the place where the dead fell.
"It's my wife." Mr. Maeda replied quickly.
"The cause of death was falling from a height..." Officer Mumu looked at the corpse on the ground, then raised his head to look at the balcony above.
"So, could it be suicide?" Officer Mumu said while rubbing his chin.
"No!" Someone stood up and retorted.
Everyone turned to look at him.
He was frightened for a while by everyone's gaze, but he still plucked up his courage and pointed to the man beside him.
"At that time... when Madam fell, I saw a figure behind her..."
"It's him! Madam's husband! Mr. Maeda!"
He pointed at Mr. Maeda with a frightened expression.
"It must be him. He pushed the lady downstairs."
Officer Mumu looked at the waiter who stood up to accuse Mr. Maeda.
He looked at Mr. Maeda, who was full of panic.
"Do you have anything to explain? Mr. Maeda." He asked in a deep voice.
The police on one side are ready to arrest Mr. Maeda and bring him to justice.
"Yes, when Eri fell, I was indeed on the rooftop..."
"But! But I really didn't push her! She jumped off herself!"
"When Eri jumped off...she was smiling..." Mr. Maeda thought of the smile the other party left him when he jumped from the balcony for life.
The whole person was terrified.
"If you say that... Could it be suicide?" Officer Mumu said while rubbing his chin.
"Nonsense! Madam even invited Master Tsushima to dinner today! How could she suddenly commit suicide!" The waiter continued to retort.
Officer Mumu heard a familiar surname.
"Master Tsushima? Is that the junior high school detective Tsushima-kun?" he asked.
If the other party was there, wouldn't this case be resolved soon?
"The deceased lady was Master Tsushima's aunt. At the moment when he jumped off the building, Master Tsushima just walked downstairs~www.NovelMTL.com~ So Master Tsushima saw the tragic condition of his wife with his own eyes... Master Tsushima, who could not accept the death of his relatives, I fainted on the spot..." the waiter explained.
"The madam also said that Master Tsushima is a good boy..."
"It's a relative..." Officer Mumu frowned.
The other party fainted, that is, the police had to solve the case this time.
As the waiter said, how could a lady who happily invited her relatives to eat at home choose to commit suicide before eating.
But what Mr. Maeda said was that the other party jumped down by himself, and it didn't seem like he was lying.
what can we do about it…
"Well, I think Mrs. Maeda did jump off herself." Toru Amuro stood up and said silently.
Because someone was impatient with pretending to be dizzy inside, let him come out quickly to solve it...
"Why didn't Tsushima-kun go by himself?" Toru Amuro asked.
"How can I still reason freely after witnessing the death of my relatives? It's a super simple case, let me tell you~ Come on, Tou-kun~" he urged with a natural look.
Amuro sighed.
"You are the one next to Tsushima-kun..." Officer Mumu looked like he recognized it.
"Amuro Toru is just Tsushima-kun's assistant." Amuro Toru introduced himself in a flat tone.
"Actually, it's very simple. You can see where Mrs. Maeda landed."
"When you jump down by yourself and when someone pushes you down, the landing position is different."
Amuro said calmly.
"As for the reason why Mrs. Maeda jumped off the building..."
"I'm afraid he wanted to use his death to convince everyone that Mr. Maeda was the murderer."
