Chapter 144 The End of the Bandage Monster
Chapter 144 The End of the Bandage Monster
In the end, just as Takahashi said, the police successfully found the two people covered in scars on the roof.
Well, although they weren't fatally injured, the excessive blood loss, coupled with the effects of the cold, had essentially crippled them. At the very least, they were no longer capable of jobs like screenwriting and editing.
Takahashi was also a little overwhelmed after learning from internal police communication that if he had not appeared to have nothing to do and wanted to disguise himself as a bandaged weirdo to provide an alibi for himself, the sniper would not have opened fire.
He was so close to avenging Atsuko, but because of his own little thoughts, the two culprits survived. He will probably never forget this pain.
By the way, after rescuing Chikako, the few people learned from her why Ota Masaru wanted to kill her.
It turns out that before Atsuko collapsed, her script was plagiarized and she told Ota everything, hoping that he could seek justice for her.
Unfortunately, Ota used this incident as a handle to blackmail Chikako and got a so-called "hush money" from her.
After Atsuko's death, Chikako, believing that Ota could no longer threaten her, directly rejected Ota's subsequent threats. After all, in her eyes, Atsuko was already dead and she had become famous.
How could a person who died without any witnesses threaten his position? That was why Ota finally told Takahashi everything.
After all, Takahashi was very fond of Atsuko. If he knew what was behind Atsuko's death, he would definitely not let this damn thief off easily!
Of course, Chikako was definitely trying to disguise herself as a white lotus when she was telling the story, refusing to admit that she had plagiarized the work. However, to the four people who knew the truth, all her defenses and lies were like thin paper, which could be easily broken with a poke.
After hearing Jiazi's account of the whole incident, Conan exclaimed, "Wow, they are all villains!"
So, in this case, the brutal, psychopathic dismemberment murderer Takahashi is actually the one with the purest heart?
Killing Chikako was to avenge Atsuko, and attacking Ran was to avoid revealing his identity. And the remaining three people are more evil than each other!
......
"Conan, have you heard? The Blue Kingdom has been renamed the Sky Kingdom! The author has also changed from Chikako to Miss Atsuko. I heard that Chikako is now facing a lot of debt disputes!"
Just a few days after this case, Xiaolan suddenly snatched a newspaper from Maori, brought it to Conan and said to him.
"really?"
Hearing this, Conan also looked at the newspaper in Xiaolan's hand.
Sure enough, just as Xiaolan said, all the information about the work "Blue Kingdom" was forcibly renamed, and all the awards and bonuses won by Chikako were recovered and changed to Atsuko's name.
At the same time, all the rewards and money that Chikako had obtained from the Blue Kingdom were recovered, and all related business orders were withdrawn.
In addition, because the source of all this is that she plagiarized other people's works, she will have to bear all the liquidated damages herself.
Well, the compensation, liquidated damages, bonuses, royalties, and even the recovery of film remuneration turned Chikako from a great screenwriter into a bastard who was hated by everyone.
Now, her luxury goods, house, and everything else have been forcibly taken away from her, and she has become a complete homeless person.
"Sister Ayako is really quick!"
Looking at the report in the newspaper, Conan said with some emotion.
It had only been a few days since they returned from the villa, but they didn't expect that Chikako's reputation would be so ruined in such a short time!
It seems that Ayako is really angry this time!
"After all, she caused Miss Atsuko to commit suicide. I'm sure Miss Atsuko would be very relieved if she knew all this!"
Looking at the report in the newspaper, Xiaolan had a smile in her eyes.
"I don't know. After all, she has gone to another world now.
She had such bad judgment! Instead of looking for Ayako, who could have helped her, or Takahashi, the only one willing to avenge her, she chose the three people who had betrayed her.
If it weren't for Chikako's refusal to give money to Ota, she would probably still be full of resentment until now!"
After hearing Conan's words, Xiaolan reached out and knocked on his head twice:
"This can't be blamed on Miss Atsuko. After all, who could have imagined that these friends would actually unite and want to eat her to the bone?
However, if Mr. Takahashi knew this information, he would probably feel relieved! "
"Takahashi, maybe!"
Thinking back to Takahashi who was taken away for attempted murder, Conan sighed in his heart:
"I guess Ayako must be feeling really bad right now! We were all friends, but in the end, it ended up like this."
......
At this time, inside the Suzuki residence, Ayako, who was being talked about by Conan, looked at the newspaper in her hand, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes:
"As expected, Atsuko's death is related to you guys! Although I had a premonition, when I really knew the truth, I still felt a little reluctant to face it!"
She is not a naive person. As the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group, she was originally trained to have the character of an heir.
However, due to some other reasons, she finally gave up her inheritance rights and chose to let Sonoko take over the position of head of the Suzuki family.
However, this does not mean that the training she had put in wasted. As the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, how could she not notice the strangeness of Atsuko's death?
However, she originally thought that Atsuko's death was the result of the actions of one person, but she didn't expect that except for Takahashi, almost everyone in the club was involved.
"It's a pity."
She sighed helplessly. She had originally wanted to observe whether these college classmates could provide her with any support or help, and to investigate the cause of Atsuko's death, so she held this class reunion.
It’s a pity that what was supposed to be the first class reunion after graduation turned out to be the last.
Ota and Takahashi were arrested, while Chikako and Kakutani's arms were broken. I'm afraid they won't be able to attend any gatherings in the future.
"What a pity."
Looking at the photo they took together at school, Ayako shook her head with some regret and put the photo away.
In the photo, everyone has a bright smile on their face.
