Chapter 547

"Okay, thank you so much, Lord Akaso!"

Thanking me for protecting my own woman...

Akaso Kaze felt it was strange.

Maybe it would be better to make his relationship with Sato Miwako public.

Shiratori Ninzaburo thanked him and then continued: "Lord Akaso, please keep the content I am about to tell you confidential and do not tell anyone."

"This case must be told starting from a year ago..."

Officer Shiratori introduced the case, and after listening for a while, Akaso Kaze remembered.

According to Shiratori, about a year ago, Nino Tamotsu of the Tohto University Hospital died at home. Although the police suspected suicide at the time, they did not rule out the possibility of homicide.

For the sake of caution, Officer Tomonari, who was in charge of the case at the time, and his three subordinates, Narisawa Osamu, Shiba Yoichiro, and Sato Miwako, conducted a more in-depth investigation into the case.

Then they found out that Nino Tamotsu had a quarrel with someone in front of a warehouse a week before his death, so Officer Tomonari and the others went to the warehouse to investigate together.

As a result, during the surveillance, Officer Tomonari suffered a sudden heart attack and was not sent to the hospital in time, collapsing on the operating table.

After that, the case was closed as a suicide due to a lack of evidence of homicide.

Then recently, Sato Miwako, at the request of Narisawa Osamu, started investigating the case from a year ago again with Shiba Yoichiro.

As a result, the tragedy of Narisawa Osamu and Shiba Yoichiro being shot to death one after another occurred.

Shiratori continued, "In fact, we have temporarily locked onto a few suspects."

"First is Tomonari Makoto, the son of Officer Tomonari who died of a heart attack. On the night of Officer Tomonari's wake, he said, 'If you police had called an ambulance, my father might not have died. It was you who killed my father, I will never let you go in this life.'"

"If he holds a grudge because of this, it wouldn't be strange if he wanted to kill Officer Narisawa and Officer Shiba."

"The second suspect is Odagiri Toshiya."

Officer Shiratori's expression was unusually solemn:

"You met him at the Suzuki family's cocktail party before. His father is Odagiri Toshiro, the Director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department!"

Akaso Kaze curled his lip.

Although this matter has nothing to do with Odagiri Toshiya, one can imagine how much pressure Shiratori Ninzaburo is under.

"Don't worry, this case has nothing to do with Odagiri Toshiya."

Hearing Akaso Kaze's words, Shiratori Ninzaburo let out a long sigh.

It's good that it's not him.

If it really were him, Shiratori Ninzaburo probably wouldn't dare to act on his own and would have to report it to Inspector Megure.

He didn't doubt Akaso Kaze's words at all.

As the most powerful Onmyoji in Tokyo, Akaso Kaze's words are now more effective than those of high-ranking officials like the mayor or the speaker.

"It's great that it's not him, so his father's suspicion can also be cleared."

Shiratori Ninzaburo was obviously relieved.

This caused Akaso Kaze to take another look at him.

You guys are really bold, daring to suspect even your immediate superior, the Director of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Looking at the silent Shiratori Ninzaburo, Akaso Kaze asked curiously: "Besides those three, do you have any other suspects?"

None of these three names sound familiar, so they are obviously not the killers.

To be honest, there are too many cases, and Akaso Kaze doesn't remember the names of all the criminals, but they are usually a choice of one out of four or one out of three, which is easy to distinguish.

Now that none of the three suspects are the ones, Akaso Kaze was in a difficult position.

However, this is not a big trouble for him.

It's just that he's too lazy to search everywhere.
