Chapter 1114 Choose One of Three and Start

Officer Megure coughed very hard: "Ahem!" to remind his subordinates to speak with caution.

Yamada Rokuye immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay." The old man waved his hand nonchalantly, "I've long been used to it. After all, I married into the Tomizawa family. It's normal to be looked down upon by others... Ahem, it's a pity for my poor Iori. Tomorrow she will participate in the competition she has been looking forward to for a long time, but today..."

Azusa Enomoto silently took two steps back towards Nobushige and complained: "I think Mr. Tomizawa has a lot of drama."

"What did you say?" The old man's sharp gaze suddenly struck Azusa Enomoto.

Nobushige took a step sideways and blocked Azusa Enomoto behind him: "The little girl is ignorant, so don't argue with her."

The old man said angrily: "I know that little girls of their age have their own ideas and don't listen to their parents at all. In fact, their parents' advice is very reasonable. Just like Iori, if she had listened to me from the beginning If you stay away from Nara Akihisa, how can you risk your own life?"

He said, his eyes filled with tears.

A handkerchief was handed to the old man. He looked up and looked at Hagiwara Chishu.

Hagiwara Chisu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you think Ms. Tomizawa Iori committed suicide?"

"Even if he committed suicide, he must have been heartbroken by a man." He said, suddenly fell ill again, clutching the shirt on his chest tightly, gasping for air.

Upon seeing this, Officer Memu immediately ordered: "Quick, help Mr. Tomizawa sit down and rest first, and call the doctor..."

"No need, this is my old problem." The old man looked around and asked, "Is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten yet today."

He was wearing clothes that were washed out and turned white. They were empty and made him look even thinner. Upon hearing this, Officer Memu quickly asked someone to find food for him.

It just so happened that this banquet hall was originally prepared for the auction, with self-service food and drinks surrounding it. Tomizawa Iori's stepfather picked some desserts and curry bread to fill his stomach.

When the police questioned three "suspects" who had close contacts with Iori Tomizawa, Nobushige said to Azusa Enomoto: "I'll go out and make a phone call. If the police need it, you can notify me."

"Okay." Azusa Enomoto agreed.

Nobuhiro quietly retreated and left the banquet hall smoothly with his familiar face from the Metropolitan Police Department.

He found a deserted corner and dialed Sachiko Matsumoto's number.

"Ah, you are so busy, you finally have time to contact me." Sachiko Matsumoto's voice was a little lazy, and Nobuhiro seriously doubted that she was still lying in bed.

"Iori Tomizawa is dead." Nobushige said directly without beating around the bush.

Sachiko Matsumoto was stunned: "What did you say?"

Nobushige repeated what he just said.

There was silence on the other side of the phone for two seconds, followed by the sound of fabric rubbing. Matsumoto Sachiko climbed up from the bed and walked to the bed.

"what happened?"

"I gave Miss Tomizawa a piano today. Less than two hours after we separated, I found her hanging on the stage of the performance. She might have been strangled by the strings."

Sachiko Matsumoto paused and then said: "So your piano is of good quality?"

There was a hint of joking in her words, but the tone was completely different, revealing deep exhaustion and sadness.

"The police are currently unable to determine whether Tomizawa Iori died of homicide or suicide, but I think homicide is more likely." Nobushige said the purpose of the call, "You know Kobashi Miyu, Nara Akihisa and Tomizawa Iori’s stepfather?”

Sachiko Matsumoto was confused: "What did you ask them to do? Is the murderer among them?"

"All possibilities must be considered, so..."

"I know that you detectives have always been like this." Sachiko Matsumoto took a deep breath, "Miyu Kobashi is Iori's competitor, both are talented cellists, but she has always been inferior to Iori, and she feels unhappy. It’s understandable. I heard that in the international cello competition to be held in Tokyo tomorrow, both Iori and Miyu Kobashi are the favorites to win.”

Nobushige said: "Now the championship is already in Kobashi Miyu's bag."

Sachiko Matsumoto hissed: "She shouldn't kill someone just for this, right? Anyway, there are so many competitions where Iori has won first place and she has won second place, there are not more than this one."

"Your mentality may be the reason why Xiaobashi Miyu committed the murder, but in the absence of evidence, I am not willing to suspect anyone as the murderer." Nobushige stopped the topic, "Let's talk about Nara Akihisa. "

"I don't know much about him, I only know that he is Iori's current boyfriend." Sachiko Matsumoto racked her brains to recall things about Nara Akihisa, "He has been in love with Iori for two or three years, but they have never been engaged. Last time I When I was engaged to Narumi, I asked Iori and she said she wasn’t ready yet.”

"So it means Tomizawa Iori is unwilling to marry Nara Akihisa."

Clearly this was another motive for the murder.

All that's left next is——

"What about Tomizawa Iori's stepfather?" Nobushige continued to ask.

"The situation of the Iori family is quite special." Matsumoto Sachiko said, "Her father passed away early, and her mother was busy with the company and had no time to take care of her, so Tomizawa Katsuto married into the Tomizawa family and became Iori's stepfather. Iori When she was in college, her mother also passed away. Her mother and stepfather have not had children for so many years, so the Tomizawa family's property will definitely belong to Iori in the future."

"Does Katsuhito Tomizawa have any relatives still alive?"

"As far as I know, no more. The condition for Iori's mother to choose a husband when she remarried was that he could not have a wife and children. Tomizawa Katsuto's parents died very early, and he only had one son."

If this is the case, Tomizawa Katsuto does not seem to have the motive to kill Tomizawa Iori for the sake of family property. On the contrary, it would be better to have such a daughter to take care of him.

"But I heard that Iori is not very kind to her stepfather." Sachiko Matsumoto added, "When we were in college, we occasionally went to Iori's house and found that her father's clothes were very shabby and the quality of his daily necessities was also very poor. The Ze family’s rich wealth is completely unmatched.”

Nobushige frowned: "Is it Tomizawa Iori who deliberately deducted stepfather's living expenses?"

"I don't know about this, but it is true that the financial power of the Tomizawa family is in Iori's hands, and her father also has to draw living expenses from her." Matsumoto Sachiko sighed, "It doesn't look like Iori will abuse her. A stepfather kind of guy.”

"I see Tomizawa Katsuto's health is not in good shape?"

"Yes, he has always had asthma and cardiovascular problems. Iori sometimes helps him buy medicine. Because Iori and her stepfather do not live together, many things are inconvenient, and she can only take medicine Please give me a call to take care of your stepfather’s health.”

"Do they talk often?"

"Not often, occasionally..." Sachiko Matsumoto suddenly paused, narrowed her eyes and said, "Mr. Asano, why do I feel like you are interrogating a prisoner? Wouldn't it be better to ask the person involved about this kind of thing?"

She quickly imagined a possibility: "Wait, am I also one of the suspects?"

Nobuhiro said helplessly: "Don't worry, at least the police haven't suspected you yet."
