The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 634: Akechi Eri's Confession

"Ms. Akechi Eri, oh no, I should call you Ms. Chi Eri,"

Bai Ma Song continued,

"I had someone check your information yesterday and found out that your surname is Ming Shan and your given name is Zhi Huili. You returned to China four years ago. It was also at that time that you learned about the death of your sister Suzuka Sakurako, right?"

"That's right,"

Akechi Eri nodded and did not deny it.

“Before that, I had been studying for my Master of Arts at Boston College in Boston, USA.”

"Every winter after that, you must come to the Qinwu Hotel, once, twice or three times, and every time you stay in this room."

Bai Masong walked back slowly, came to the table, and sat down cross-legged.

"Do you really like the scenery here, or do you have other intentions?"

"Officer Whitehorse, I don't know what you are going to say."

The look in Akechi Eri's eyes did not change at all, like an old monk who had already sat down, calm and unperturbed.

Bai Masong had anticipated this.

"Then let me ask you another way. Every time you came to the Qinwu Inn, did you stay in this room and try your tricks over and over again facing the snow-covered cliff below?"

Bai Masong placed both hands flat on the table, tapping it with one finger, and staring at Akechi Eri with narrowed eyes.

Akechi Eri had no expression on her face. Or rather, she had a faint smile on her face. She shook her head slowly.

"Officer Baima, I told you, if there is evidence that I am the murderer, please handcuff me directly."

"Otherwise, please don't say anything that would damage my reputation or yours."

Difficult!

Sato Miwako and Shinichi both thought in their hearts that this woman had a very good psychological quality, and if this murder was really something she had been planning for four years, it would be really difficult for the police to find evidence.

They once again turned their attention to the white horse pine. Now, they could only wait and see what the white horse pine could do.

"Ms. Akechi Eri,"

Bai Masong picked up the teacup again. The temperature of the tea had dropped, and there was not much time left to warm him up.

"Let's end this matter here."

Akechi Eri looked at Hakuba Matsu deeply, Shinzenshi had no idea what she was talking about, while Sato Miwako and Haibara Ai thought of something and looked at Akechi Eri with some disbelief.

So far, what is so far? Is it about the investigation of the case, or the murder?

Akechi Eri still wants to kill someone, who is it...

"Kobayashi Ryoichi, Higashida Jin,"

Bai Masong took a sip of tea from the cup in one hand, and handed over his mobile phone with the other hand. The screen still displayed an email, and he said lightly,

"I believe you have also found the police officers who were in charge of investigating Suzuka Sakurako's drug trafficking case."

"That incident was extremely vicious, but it didn't actually have much social impact. Due to pressure from the school and some force majeure factors, the two men still retained their positions, and one of them was even promoted to a higher rank."

Bai Masong's words were like thunder from a clear sky, causing an uproar among the four people.

As for Sato Miwako and the other two, on the one hand, they did not expect that Bai Masong had secretly investigated what happened back then. On the other hand, they did not expect that the police officer in charge at that time could be promoted after someone died?

If there is no transfer of interests involved here, I'm afraid no one would believe it!

Considering the identities and backgrounds of Asuka Shibasaki and Ema Anzai, the pressure from Councillor Shibasaki, and the bribery of the Anzai Group, these are all unknown, but seemingly obvious things...

Akechi Eri listened to Hakumasong's two short sentences. Although her expression remained unchanged, her mood was out of control. Her body began to tremble slightly, which showed the anger in her heart about this matter.

Even though she already knew these things.

Seeing this, Bai Masong decided to add more fuel to the fire.

"In addition, my people also found out that even though Suzuka Sakurako committed suicide to prove her innocence, her criminal record was not cancelled."

"In other words, she was charged with drug trafficking for her entire life. Even her death was a suicide out of fear of punishment..."

"That's enough! Stop talking!"

Ming Zhihui stared at Bai Masong with murderous eyes. She slammed her clenched fists on the table and spat out cold words fiercely.

On the table, the teacup was hit hard and began to shake. The surface of the water with a few tea leaves floating on it rose and fell, just like the extremely restless heart of Akechi Eri.

"What do you want to say by saying this?! What do you want to say..."

"Give me the list in your hand."

Bai Ma Song extended a hand to Akechi Eri.

"I know that you have definitely not only investigated Shibasaki Asuka, Anzai Ema, and these two policemen in the past four years."

"Give me all the people you have found over the years, as well as the evidence and speculation, and I will help you deal with these scums in the police force."

"I will also help you deal with Suzuka Sakurako's case and clear her name."

"You know, I have the ability."

Eri Akechi was stunned and she remained silent.

She knew that Baimasong did have this ability, but she didn't know why Baimasong helped her, nor was she sure whether Baimasong would really help her.

After experiencing such things, she no longer trusts those in power. Officials protect each other. This is how Akechi Eri understands them.

Bai Masong seemed to see through Akechi Eri's thoughts and said calmly,

"In fact, Miss Fukatsu Harumi found us last night, and at that time, I had already decided to clean up these termites."

"Besides, officials don't necessarily protect each other. Ms. Akechi Eri, you need to understand that those who make the rules want to follow the rules more than anyone else."

"Because rules are only rules within their scope."

Akechi Eri remained silent. She still couldn't make up her mind, not knowing whether Bai Masong was trying to trick her into confessing.

In fact, Bai Masong spoke the truth.

Those who make the rules really want to follow these rules more than anyone else, because they have the greatest power within the rules. Once they break the rules, they may be nothing.

When a common man gets angry, blood will splatter five steps away; if he is willing to sacrifice his life, he will dare to dethrone the emperor...

Who are those people who like to break the rules? In fact, they are not the ones who make the rules. They are more like the vested interests within the scope of the rules. They enjoy the huge benefits brought to them by the rules, but they also want more, so they keep breaking the rules and looking for loopholes in the rules...

We generally call people like this termites.

Although Bai Masong is not the one who makes the rules, he hopes to be that kind of person, so he tries to be like that kind of person in everything, especially for the parasites in his own family, he will definitely crack down on them severely and without mercy.

Perhaps it was Bai Masong's words that touched Akechi Eri, or perhaps she felt she had no choice.

She might be able to kill her enemy, but she couldn't clear her sister's name in the national records. Perhaps the latter was what her deceased sister wanted.

"call--"

Akechi Eri's frozen expression came alive again, revealing a bitter yet relieved smile.

"Yingzi was a very timid girl. When she was a child, she didn't even dare to cry out loud when someone snatched her candy. When I learned about this incident, I couldn't believe it at all. I knew at that time that she must have offended someone, so I started to investigate them."

"I only have this one sister. After our parents died in the fire, she is my only relative in this world. Back then, she was adopted by the Suzuka family. I was very happy for her..."

Eri Akechi slowly told her story to Hakubamatsu and others. It was very plain, but it was her last memory of the past.

After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked to the side. She first took out a disk from her bag, then took out a piece of paper from the bookshelf beside her, wrote down five names, and finally handed them all to Bai Masong.

"These are the police officers from that time, including Kobayashi Ryoichi and Higashida Jin, who you already know. One of them has left the Rizencho Police Station and was assigned to Hokkaido. I learned a lot from him."

"Everything I found, confirmed or unconfirmed, is on the disk."

"Um,"

Bai Masong took the note and disk from Mingzhi Huili, nodded to her, and made a solemn promise.

"Those who made mistakes will definitely be punished."

"hehe,"

Akechi Eri smiled slightly, the intellectuality of a writer and the tenderness of a woman returned to her face once again. She stretched out her hands and put them together, her watery eyes quietly looking at the white horse pine.

"So, I am no exception."

"Please arrest me, Officer Hakuba. I killed Asuka Shibasaki and Ema Anzai. When I killed Asuka Shibasaki, I asked her out as a screenwriter..."

"..."
