Chapter 30 7. Swap diamonds

"I see." After listening to the words of the police officer Waituli, Mitsuki Shunsuke immediately nodded and said: "So what are you all waiting for here?" "It happened like this, Mr. Mitsuki." Chief Honda, who was like a tumbler, leaned out from the table and said: "Just now we called the Tianyintang in Ginza, and Chi Chi, the person in charge, said he would come right away. But it's been an hour, and he hasn't arrived yet. His movements are really slow." As soon as Director Honda finished speaking, a criminal policeman ran in from outside in a panic:

"Report to the chief, Chi Chi, the person in charge of Tianyintang, has brought a man and a woman with him..." "Ah! Quickly ask them to come here..." Afterwards, two men and a woman walked in, and all three of them looked dazed. "Hello everyone, I... I am Akaike, the person in charge of Tianyintang. This is my client, Mr. Nanmura Ryohei, and his wife Michiko." "I'm Ryohei Nanmura, I didn't expect such an accident to happen..." Ryohei Nanmura handed over a business card with the title of president of Nanmura Sangyo Co., Ltd. printed on it.

Nanmura Ryohei is about fifty years old, with pale hair and a rather strong build; his wife Michiko is about forty-five or six years old, looks quite young, and is a beautiful woman with elegant temperament. "By accident, do you mean tonight's murder?" Director Honda asked directly. "This is one of them. In fact, I also suffered a lot..." "Director, please look at this! I was deceived by Chichi..." "No, ma'am, please don't say that, it's not that I lied to you, it's that I trust old Yajima too much..." "It's all the same! Everyone, please look at this."

Mrs. Nancun took out a slender velvet box, Director Honda opened it, and a brooch with three large diamonds attached to a gold chain appeared in front of everyone. "This brooch is beautiful, what's wrong with it?" "These diamonds are all fake. In fact, the real diamonds were replaced by Chichi, and he actually pretended to be real and gave them to me." "Ma'am, how can I..." "Michiko, don't be hysterical. Akachi didn't do it on purpose. He just didn't do a good job of identifying the authenticity of diamonds." "No, no! The diamond was replaced by Akaike, and then...then he also killed the old man Yajima."

"Ma'am, don't talk nonsense..." Chi Chi, the person in charge of Tianyintang, was so anxious that he was sweating all over his body, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead. Chidi is a short, fat man of forty-five or six years old, with bald hair on his forehead. "You say something like this, I can't understand it at all... Chichi, tell me!" "Okay, I'm so sorry." Akachi took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said slowly: "Mr. Nancun is a regular customer in my store. A few days ago, he said that the three diamonds on the brooch were shaking and asked us to fix it for him, so I asked the master in the store, Yajima Kenzo, to help him fix it. "

"Well, what then?" "Yajima has been working in our shop for more than 30 years, that is to say, he has been working in the shop before I took over. He has never made a mistake in the past, so once it was repaired, I did not check it specially. Just ask someone to send it directly to Mrs. Nancun." "So that's why Mrs. Nancun accepted it without checking, right?" Wait for the force officer to interject next to him. "No, I took a quick look at it, but his imitation is very similar to the real one, and it can't be seen at a glance." "So that's how it is... Chichi, what's next?"

"It wasn't until you called me that Yajima had been killed that I didn't remember Madam's brooch. I sent it without careful inspection, so I immediately visited Nancun's house and asked to take a second look. It turned out that it was indeed a counterfeit..." Talking, talking, Chi Chi's forehead began to sweat profusely again. "You mean to say that the old man Yajima was killed because of diamonds?" It was Shunsuke Mitsuki who spoke, and Mitsuki Shibasumi's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Yes, he probably made bad friends and was instigated to change the diamonds, but then he fell out with his friends and was killed..."

"Which one of you knows a beautiful boy aged seventeen or eighteen? It is currently confirmed that he is related to this incident." North Sichuan criminal police questioned. But the Nancun couple and Chi Chi looked at him blankly, as if they didn't recognize such a young man.
