Chapter 864 Detective Suzuki SonokoThe store manager was speechless after hearing these words, and his face turned pale and blue.
All I can say is that the story of Fujino charging two bowls’ worth of money for one bowl of noodles is a classic enough no matter which world it is in.
When a person is slandered, he is usually unable to prove his innocence. If he wants to prove his innocence, he can only cut open his stomach to see if there is any rice noodles inside, instead of asking the person who asked for money for two bowls of noodles to prove that he made two bowls of noodles himself.
Although Fujino's logic was strong, the store manager was not fooled.
Instead, he asked Fujino his initial question: "Okay, since you said you want evidence, do you have evidence to prove that she didn't steal these things?
"It's only on her shift that things get stolen, and I've been monitoring her outside for so long and haven't encountered any thieves. I just reprimanded her last month, and after she behaved herself for a while, she started stealing again yesterday, and she stole a lot. Isn't this revenge?"
"I saw with my own eyes that the last person to come out of the store was her. How do you explain this?"
"This is indeed inexplicable, but the key point is that you cannot identify Miss Nanakawa as the murderer."
Fujino was calm and straightforward, and he directly seized on the fact that the other party had no evidence to prove that Nanakawa Aya was the thief.
To put it simply, this matter is a muddy water where you can't prove that I stole something, and I can't prove that I didn't steal anything, so whoever says it is right is right.
From the perspective of the store manager, Nanakawa Aya is indeed the biggest suspect.
But from Nanakawa Xuan's perspective, it would be an unexpected disaster because she could not prove that she was not a thief.
But speaking of it, Nanakawa Xuan is still lucky.
The store manager only asked for an apology and did not ask for any compensation.
He is a pretty good person.
If it were someone without conscience, he would probably call the police directly, or use this reason to threaten the female high school students who came out to work to do something excessive.
With Fujino's support, Nanakawa Xuan was not as panicked as at the beginning, and explained loudly: "These are all misunderstandings. I really don't know how the goods in the store disappeared..."
The store manager glanced at her and said, "It's obvious now, right? If it wasn't you who stole it, who else could it be? Could it be that a ghost sneaked in after you left and took away all those things?"
"If you put it that way... I should know what's going on!"
At this time, Sonoko lowered her chin and looked like the famous detective Sonoko.
"Eh?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked towards the garden.
Sonoko crossed her arms and reasoned, "If you ask me, it must be the store manager who stole the money!"
"????"
The store manager was confused when he heard this.
Fujino looked at Sonoko and was a little dazed.
Does Yuanzi feel that he is doing well again?
No, could it be that Yuanzi suddenly exploded and immediately figured out the truth?
Under everyone's gaze, Yuanzi said, "Since Xiaoxuan didn't steal anything, and the things were lost inexplicably...then the only person who could have committed the crime is the store manager who was monitoring her!"
Fujino: "...?"
What kind of reasoning is this? Why can't I think of any reason?
Are you Brother Maori’s illegitimate daughter?
I steal myself?
This wave is against Tiangang.
This style of reasoning is absolutely amazing.
"Hey Hey hey!"
The store manager's eyebrows twitched: "This entire convenience store belongs to me, why would I steal things?"
"Hehe, since you asked sincerely, let me, the famous detective Suzuki Sonoko, expose your true face!"
Yuanzi snorted and laughed, feeling that she was fine again. She could hear a burst of BGM around her. She crossed her arms and reasoned, "The air conditioner and even the lights in the convenience store were turned off, which means you are a very stingy person!" "And someone as stingy as you must be very stingy with money, and Xiaoxuan must want to be paid for her part-time job, so you picked the day when Xiaoxuan came to work, took things away from the store, and then said it was lost the next day!"
"If you ask me, the reason you did this is definitely to avoid paying Xiaoxuan's salary!"
As she spoke, she asked Fujino expectantly, "Senior Fujino, am I right?"
Fujino: "..."
Although it's a bit outrageous, what Sonoko said seems quite reasonable?
An unimagined path...
Since you can't prove your innocence, why not drag others into it, right?
But if you think about it, it does make sense.
This is a common method used by companies to fire people. They frame the other party, make them violate the rules, and then fire them and refuse to pay the penalty or something. They can even send them to prison and fire them on the grounds that they have committed a crime...
As the daughter of the Suzuki zaibatsu, it seems very reasonable for her to think of this?
This wave of misfortune is very clever...
Yuanzi, could you be the hidden think tank?
Fujino thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Although it's a bit outrageous, I think it's reasonable and it's feasible to do so."
"Yeah, huh?"
Yuanzi smiled like a silly girl: "If you ask me, it must be like this!"
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about?"
The store manager was completely confused. He was inexplicably a black-hearted entrepreneur and he quickly explained: "Let's not talk about embezzlement or anything like that. Would I do such a thing for such a small salary?"
"I don't think so."
Yuanzi looked at him suspiciously: "It's reasonable for you to do something like this to save even a little electricity, right? And you yourself said that you turned off the surveillance at night to save electricity. How much is that little electricity worth? I think you must have turned off the surveillance to cover up this matter!"
"Ah this..."
The eyes of the people around him were all cast over, with a hint of suspicion in their eyes.
The store manager was completely speechless, and suddenly felt that what the boy said before about finding a pretext to accuse someone of a crime was probably exactly this feeling.
Even he felt that what the other party said made some sense.
Shit, it turns out that this is the way to fire someone?
But after all, he didn't do such a wicked thing as Sonoko said.
After all, he didn't know it before...
However, adults are different from children after all. He knew how to solve the problem, so he said dissatisfiedly: "Since you all think that I am the thief, then call the police!"
"Let the police come and investigate, and then everything will be clear!"
As he said that, he also looked at Nanakawa Xuan: "Xuan, if you did this, I advise you to just admit it directly. I won't make it difficult for you. I will definitely pay you your salary and let you continue to work here. But if you continue to be stubborn, I can only call the police and let them investigate!"
"I didn't steal. I didn't steal... It won't matter how many times you ask me."
With the support of her friends, Nanakawa Aya also became more confident.
She even began to suspect that the store manager might have embezzled money in order to avoid paying her salary.
After all, she didn't take anything from the store.
Now something is missing from the store, and the only reason is what Sonoko said.
Although the store manager has never delayed paying wages...
But what if?
