Tokyo: There's something wrong with this narration!

Chapter 490 489: Shameful Numbers
Shirakawa took Ono Reiko to the Metropolitan Police Department and sent a message to Chiyuki Mei, telling her that he would be home late.

After arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department, Shirakawa saw his old friend Daisuke Furuhashi and the young boy Yuto Kido, whom he had just met on the train.

In addition to them, there are four strange teenagers, a beautiful lady, and the familiar police officer Shiraki Saya.

"Kuragi-kun, you're here."

Shiraki Saya said helplessly that they originally didn't intend to trouble Shirakawa with this case, but who would have thought that the murder case involved a fraud case, and one of the victims of the fraud was Shirakawa's old classmate Furuhashi Daisuke.

"My dear friend, you are finally here."

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Bai Chuan asked.

Ono Reiko blinked, and Shirakawa put her down. She ran to Shiraki Saya and took the initiative to greet the beautiful police officer.

Furuhashi Daisuke put away his gossiping heart towards Shirakawa and explained his own problem first.
"Here's what happened. Didn't I meet a girl online a while ago? We chatted and started dating. Because her family was poor and she owed a lot of money, I wanted to do my best to help her pay off some of her debts."

Furuhashi Daisuke lowered his head, blushed, and spoke in a low voice.

"Let me tell you."

Shiraki Saya ruffled Ono Reiko's hair, carried her to the sofa, looked at Shirakawa, and said in a neutral manner,

"The person that Guqiao met online was actually a boy named Kitayama Chiaki, who just turned 18 this year. He was a habitual fraudster who used AI-generated photos and voice changers, as well as fictitious experiences, to deceive many teenagers and defraud them of money. Yesterday, Kitayama Chiaki died in his apartment. After receiving a call from a neighbor, we entered his apartment and found all kinds of information and chat messages in his computer. Guqiao was also one of the victims he deceived."

Yuto Kijima looked at Daisuke Furuhashi with sympathy. He couldn't believe that there was someone more stupid than him.

"Don't tell Ryota and Kokomi and the others."

Furuhashi Daisuke said to Shirakawa nervously.

Baichuan nodded. It was indeed not good for such a socially disastrous thing to be known to others.

The other four boys also had red faces, some because of shame, some because of anger.

"This is Kuraki-kun, right? I hope you can help me find out the cause of my son's death. I know it's wrong for him to commit fraud, but I didn't get a penny of the money he cheated me of. I have no obligation to pay him back unless you can find out the cause of his death. I can return all the money to everyone."

Mrs. Kitayama said.

[Kitayama Lanzi: Intelligence 7, Charm 7, Strength 6, Age 39, Personality traits: Strong self-awareness, doing things my own way.

Weakness: Past experience. 】

Based on Kitayama Aiko's brand-name bags and watches, Shirakawa judged that her family was well-off.

Then why did Chiaki Kitayama come out to cheat people for money?

“How much money were you defrauded of?”

Shirakawa looked at Furuhashi Daisuke.

"All in all, about 10."

Furuhashi Daisuke whispered.

"Student Gu Qiao was defrauded of a total of 10 yuan."

Shiraki Saya added.

Furuhashi Daisuke's face turned red again. Could you please not say such an embarrassing number? I would rather not have that 520!

"It's okay. I understand."

Shirakawa patted Furuhashi Daisuke's shoulder in understanding.

Considering Furuhashi Daisuke's ordinary family background, he was defrauded of so much money in a very short period of time, which is enough to show the skill of this swindler.

"Did you steal your father's private money?"

Shirakawa leaned over to Daisuke Furuhashi's ear and asked.

Furuhashi Daisuke's eyes widened, "How did you know?"

"Because you have no other way to make money."

Bai Chuan said frankly.

"Um... so you really don't plan to hire me as an assistant at an artist agency? The kind that pays 10 yen a month?"

Furuhashi Daisuke recommended himself.

Bai Chuan shook his head and said, "Please rest assured, I will not affect your studies. Come back to me after you finish college."

"…Forehead……"

Furuhashi Daisuke looked constipated.

Shiraki Saya coughed twice, "Ahem, can you guys get back to the topic?"

"Okay, Officer Shiraki, my request is that this aunt return my father's private money of 10 yen, but you don't need 520."

Daisuke Furuhashi solemnly gave Mrs. Kitayama a small change.

"I'm sorry, my request is that the police find the murderer of my son as soon as possible. How do I know that you didn't kill him directly because you were deceived by him? I won't give the murderer a penny."

Mrs. Kitayama said stubbornly.

This is also the real reason why she is unwilling to repay her son’s debt.

Because she believed that the murderer of her son was among these six people.

"She and I are friends."

Kijima Yuto whispered, "I won't kill her."

"Please pay attention to your wording. It's him, not her. My son deceived you like this. Do you still think he is a girl?"

Mrs. Kitayama looked at Yuto Kijima with contempt, as if Yuto Kijima was not a victim but a young man with mental problems.

Yuto Kijima blushed and stopped talking.

"Let me see the dead first."

Bai Chuan said.

"follow me."

Shiraki Saya took Shirakawa away alone.

Daisuke Furuhashi temporarily takes care of Reiko Ono instead of Shirakawa.

You can't let children see a dead body, right?
The two stared at each other.

After a long while, Furuhashi Daisuke asked, "Are you not Kuraki-kun's child?"

"Uh-huh."

Ono Reiko nodded sensibly. Shirakawa and Chiyuki Mei had said they wanted to adopt her, which meant that theoretically they were her guardians. So there shouldn't be any problem in saying that she was Shirakawa's child.

Furuhashi Daisuke swallowed in surprise, "With whom?"

"Sister Mei."

Ono Reiko said seriously.

"Mei-chan!!! Is it really Mei-chan? But you look like you haven't grown up yet."

Daisuke Furuhashi remembered that a beautiful foreign actress gave birth to an ugly daughter, which caused all kinds of public opinion. This might be a genetic mutation.

Ono Reiko glared at Furuhashi Daisuke, "What do you mean, uncle?"

"Ah, don't call me uncle, I'm just in high school! How can I be your uncle! Oh, no, it's right to call you uncle, after all, you are Kuraki-kun's child."

Furuhashi Daisuke muttered to himself.

Ono Reiko curled her lips.

The victims started discussing compensation with Mrs. Kitayama again, but Mrs. Kitayama was very good at talking and she talked them back with just a few words. If the police hadn't stopped them, the victims would have wanted to fight.

Only Yuto Kijima was looking out the window with melancholy in his eyes.

Shirakawa followed Saya Shiraki to the familiar morgue, and the forensic doctor in charge of the autopsy said,

"The deceased was stabbed 30 times and died. The person who killed him either had a deep hatred or was mentally twisted and had an antisocial personality. No other fingerprints were found on his body. The time of death was between 12 and 1 yesterday afternoon."

Shirakawa nodded slightly and examined the dead Kitayama Chiaki.

[Chiaki Kitayama: Born in an ordinary family, he is the son of Ryoichi Kitayama and his mother is Gardenia Kitayama, an only child...]

Bai Chuan was slightly stunned. His mother's name was Kitayama Gardenia? Wasn't it Kitayama Lanzi?
After reading all the identification information, Baichuan finally understood the reason.

It turns out that Kitayama Chiaki's mother is a transgender person. His mother was his father 10 years ago. Later, because his mother Kitayama Gardenia fell ill and died, his father completely let himself go. He not only became obsessed with wearing his mother's clothes, but also started to put on makeup and take hormones. Later, he went directly for surgery and completely turned into a woman. He regarded himself as Kitayama Chiaki's mother and changed his name to Kitayama Aiko.

Later, every time Kitayama Aiko fell in love and got married, she would send her son Kitayama Chiaki to his grandmother's house.

I basically didn't spend much time with Kitayama Chiaki, who dropped out of middle school and became a dependent.

Until his grandmother passed away, Kitayama Chiaki, who had no skills, made a living by helping others play games online.

Later, he fell in love with a friend in the game, Takuya Kumakura, but because Takuya Kumakura was a man, he could only pretend to be a woman.

When Takuya Kumakura proposed to meet, Chiaki Kitayama could only sell wigs, wear women's clothes, and put on makeup to disguise herself.

But he found that his male characteristics were still very obvious, so he remembered his mother's medicine.

For the sake of Takuya Kumakura, Chiaki Kitayama transformed herself, and after two or three months, she finally met Takuya Kumakura in a more feminine state.

The two quickly established a romantic relationship. When Takuya Kumakura found out that he was a boy, he did not reject him. Instead, he taught him how to make money online.

And told him that when he saved enough money, he could completely become a woman and then they could get married.

This was the beginning of Kitayama Chiaki's journey of fraud.

Kitayama Chiaki transferred all the money that he had defrauded from other people to Kumakura Takuya, until Kitayama Chiaki discovered that Kumakura Takuya actually had a girlfriend.

Takuya Kumakura used the money earned by Chiaki Kitayama to buy a house in Tokyo and was planning to marry his girlfriend Yoshiko Ishizaka.

Their conversation happened to be overheard by Chiaki Kitayama. It turned out that Takuya Kumakura had never liked him and had just been using him.

The simple-minded Chiaki Kitayama was very angry and questioned why Takuya Kumakura had deceived her. As a result, she was killed by Takuya Kumakura and Yoshiko Ishizaka.

Next, Chiaki Kitayama’s computer should have been processed by Takuya Kumakura, who deleted all chat and communication records between Chiaki Kitayama and himself, leaving only the information about his fraud.

He misled the police into thinking that the victims had discovered his true identity and therefore came to kill him.

Baichuan rubbed his brows. He seldom used identification techniques recently because he didn't want to see these dark lives.

"Kuragi-kun, do you see any clues?"

Shiraki Saya asked.

"Judging from his body shape, the deceased had taken a lot of hormones before his death. He must have always wanted to become a girl. We can suspect that he had a steady boyfriend. We went to the bank and asked him to cooperate with the investigation and check his transfer records to see who he transferred the money to."

Bai Chuan said calmly.

Shiraki Saya looked at the forensic doctor, who nodded, "His blood has been tested, and the results are not yet available, but they should be consistent with Kuraki-kun's speculation."

"As expected of Kuraki-kun."

Shiraki Saya was excited about finding the clue, but she also raised her own questions.
"Kuragi-kun, can't it be those victims? They all seem to think that Kitayama Chiaki is a girl and are dating Kitayama Chiaki. We can also find records of them transferring money to Kitayama Chiaki on their phones."

"Yes, they all transferred money to Kitayama Chiaki, but Kitayama Chiaki's balance is empty. What does this mean?"

"Did he save the money? Or did he transfer it to a seventh person!"

"Well, find the seventh person. He's the real suspect."

Bai Chuan said.

Shiraki Saya turned around and immediately led the team to the bank.

The transfer records on the mobile phone can be deleted, but the transfer records backed up by the bank will not be deleted.

Shirakawa left the morgue and returned to the rest room.

"Big brother."

Ono Reiko immediately rushed over and hugged Shirakawa's thighs.

Shirakawa ruffled her hair, "How are Reiko and Furuhashi-kun getting along?"

"Uncle Guqiao is a weirdo."

Ono Reiko said.

Furuhashi Daisuke also heard Ono Reiko's address at this time, "Big Brother?" This means she is not Shirakawa's child at all!!!
And you still call me uncle! This is simply outrageous.

"Little Pudding, I am Kuraki-kun's classmate and your older brother, not an uncle."

"No, you are the uncle."

Ono Reiko said stubbornly.

Shirakawa smiled and said, "Reiko's personality is becoming more and more lively."

Ono Reiko lowered her head and blushed, "I'm sorry, big brother, maybe you don't like this Reiko, Reiko can change."

"It's okay, that's fine."

Baichuan picked her up and said, "Girls should be more lively."

"Uh-huh."

Ono Reiko raised her little face again, the sunlight shone on her face, warm and happy.

When Mrs. Kitayama saw this scene, her eyes reddened slightly.

She thought of her only son, whom she often held in her arms to bask in the sun when he was a child.

"Kuragi-kun, I've heard of your name. I'm willing to pay you for consulting, no matter how much money you pay. I just hope you can help me find the real murderer."

Mrs. Kitayama sobbed.

Reiko Ono aroused her maternal love, and her pretended strength instantly collapsed.

Bai Chuan looked at her deeply and said, "Mrs. Kitayama, if you had known this would happen, you should have cared more about Kitayama-kun."

"sorry Sorry sorry……"

Mrs. Kitayama sobbed.

Hearing her crying, Yuto Kido silently handed her a tissue.

For some reason, Yuto Kijima felt that Mrs. Kitayama looked very friendly, perhaps because many of the photos that Chiaki Kitayama showed him had Mrs. Kitayama's shadow.

They are actually mother and son, so it's normal for them to look alike.

Mrs. Kitayama looked at him and took the tissue. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Don't be too sad. I believe Kitayama-kun doesn't want to see you so sad."

Yuto Kijima said shyly.

Mrs. Kitayama nodded and thanked him again.

"My dear friend, what happened? Have you found any clues?"

Furuhashi Daisuke asked.

"Officer Shiraki has already gone to look for clues. We just need to wait here patiently."

Baichuan said, it is impossible for him to tell all the results after just one look. Isn't that too disrespectful to the evidence?
