Chapter 921 Takagi Wataru: Destroy it...
"For example, the second victim, Kaga Shizuko, was an izakaya (Japanese pub) hostess............................"
Takagi Wataru paused, then began to speak with great enthusiasm...
"She owns an izakaya (Japanese pub), and while she's called a female general, she's actually just the izakaya owner............................."
"So, if a small pub like an izakaya were to be used by an illegal organization, what would be the most suitable location...?"
Could it be..............................
Upon hearing Takagi Wataru's words, many police officers seemed to realize something, and their eyes lit up...
Takagi Wataru immediately continued,
"It's intelligence!"
"Izakayas are great for gathering information! And also for exchanging information!"
"Here, a few people can gather together to chat and drink without seeming out of place at all..."
"This is also a common tactic used by many criminals......................................"
The police officers all nodded upon hearing this.
That's right, that's what they were thinking too. If we consider Kaga Shizuko to be a member of an illegal organization, then her izakaya (Japanese pub) could very well serve that purpose...................................
Sato Miwako also cast a look of amazement at Takagi Wataru...............................
She hadn't expected that Takagi, who usually seemed ordinary but occasionally displayed extraordinary talent, would have thought of so much at this moment...
Feeling the gaze directed at him by Miwako Sato, Wataru Takagi grew even more confident...............................
"Besides these, there are several other victims whose identities are also problematic................................"
Takagi Wataru didn't care that he was just a lowly patrol officer anymore............................
He immediately started holding the whiteboard and began to 'gesture and gesticulate'...
"Everyone can see this: victim number five, Kozo Zaitsu, was a motorcycle shop owner..."
"His motorcycle shop not only sells motorcycles, but also repairs them, and buys and sells used motorcycles..."
"As before, assuming he's a member of some illegal organization, then his job is...................................."
"The person in charge of providing logistical equipment!"
This time, Sato Miwako was the first to follow Takagi Wataru's train of thought.................................
She spoke first, echoing Takagi, and then her gaze towards him became even more unusual...
As if injected with adrenaline, Takagi Wataru continued his rambling on and on...
“That’s right! Officer Sato is right!”
"Besides those two, the identities of the other people are also highly questionable..."
"Victim Number One, Shuhei Jinno, was a university professor. He was highly accomplished academically and might also be extremely intelligent. Perhaps he played the role of the White Feather Fan within the criminal organization..."
"The third victim, Masaaki Okakura, was a secretary to a Saitama prefectural assembly member. He held a certain position in politics and had access to many political figures............................................."
"His role could be to use information from the political arena to provide opportunities for his associates; or to use his position to provide cover for others..."
"Victim No. 4, Kitajima Azusa, was an employee of an IT company. She might have possessed exceptional computer skills and been responsible for solving technical problems within the criminal organization..........................................."
"After all, technology is advancing so rapidly these days; without someone like this, many things would be impossible to do well..."
"Victim No. 6, Tatsumi Ryuzaki, was a real estate businessman. He likely used illicit funds obtained from his associates to invest in the real estate industry and launder money..."
Encouraged by Miwako Sato's gaze, Wataru Takagi, brimming with confidence, blurted out all his conjectures in one go.............................................
At first, he was just saying it casually to get by.................................
However, the more he talked, the more he felt his conjecture was absolutely correct, and his thinking was extremely clear.............................................
Now that he had analyzed the possible occupations of the six victims, Wataru Takagi could only feel...
I'm going to make a big contribution this time!
only................................
Takagi Wataru was so focused on Sato Miwako that he didn't notice the increasingly strange looks the police officers in front of him were giving him.
Just as he was about to end his speech and ask Manager Matsumoto to adopt his suggestions and proceed with the investigation accordingly..................................
A bucket of cold water was poured on...................................
"Cough cough......................."
Ayami Ogino coughed twice first, delivering the first blow to Wataru Takagi...............................
"Officer Takagi, while your analysis sounds reasonable, however..............................."
"I feel something's not right..."
"what?"
Takagi Wataru paused slightly, then subconsciously asked a question.
"Why................................."
"Because your reasoning makes no sense in many places......................................."
Yokomizo Shigego cut in directly, speaking bluntly to Takagi Wataru without holding back..................................
He has a rather straightforward personality, so that's how he speaks.....................................
"Putting everything else aside, you were right to guess that Kitajima Azusa was an IT employee, which is why she served as a technical consultant..."
"Yes, yes............................."
Takagi Wataru nodded haltingly.
Now, interrupted by two police inspectors in succession, his previous confidence has completely vanished...
"But I'm sorry,"
Yokomizo Shigeo pursed his lips.
"In my investigation, although Kitajima Azusa is an IT employee, she is not responsible for technical aspects; she is dispatched to handle marketing and sales..."
"Her university major had nothing to do with computers, so your reasoning doesn't hold water..."
"what?"
Takagi Wataru exclaimed in surprise, at a loss for words.
“This...this........................................”
"And also,"
Ayami Ogino smiled and took over the conversation.
Her tone of voice was much more tactful............................
"While Masaaki Okakura, as a parliamentary secretary, certainly possesses a certain degree of political influence, however..........................."
"He's the secretary to our Saitama Prefecture councilor..."
"And Shizuko Kaga's izakaya (Japanese pub) and Tsutomu Ryuzaki's real estate business are both located in Kanagawa Prefecture..."
"According to you, their businesses must be considered quite important within illegal organizations, right?"
"But they're based in Kanagawa Prefecture. Even if Okakura Masaaki were a parliamentary secretary, he wouldn't be able to exert his influence so far away. How could he possibly utilize his political power?"
"Okay, that seems to make sense..."
Hearing Ayami Ogino's words, Wataru Takagi shuddered again, cold sweat dripping down his back....................................
He was so focused on talking that he didn't realize how many flaws there were in his reasoning....................................
"A few more points..............................."
Seeing that the other two had already spoken, Yamato Kansuke wasn't about to be outdone and spoke up directly...
His words nearly made Takagi Wataru faint...
There are still problems, and several at that...
What the hell was he reasoning just now? It was full of flaws...
Oh no, how embarrassing! Let's just destroy it already!
How would others view him? How would Officer Sato view him?...............................
