"What about Kimiko Arai's body?"
"Like Kawai-sho, they were both cremated last night."
[Is that so…]
Hearing Sato Miwako's answer, Karasuma Ying sighed softly.
Kawai Souji's "suicide" was obviously not that simple. She must have been murdered to silence her.
Furthermore, the person who wanted to get rid of her obviously possessed power far beyond that of an ordinary person, and could even influence the top brass of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Only in this way can we explain the reason why the mother and daughter, Kawai Shoko and Arai Kimiko, were cremated at the speed of light.
After the mysterious man used Kawai Shoko to get rid of Arai Kimiko, he used some special method to cover it up by committing suicide and got rid of Kawai Shoko as well.
The mysterious man's purpose from the very beginning was to kill the mother and daughter. After all, to the mysterious man, the existence of the mother and daughter itself was fatal.
As for Ichiro Yamatoda, he should also be one of the insiders, and he should be the person with the greatest power, the highest social status and the greatest threat to the mysterious man among all the insiders. Therefore, he became the first person to die.
To sum up, there is only one person who can connect the three victims and has sufficient reasons to kill them - Noriko Kawai.
Or rather... Yamato Mitsufuyu.
"Well, okay, I'll leave it to you, Detective Maori..."
On the other side, in the seminar room of Teitan University, the yellow-haired young man hung up the phone, sat back in his chair, reached out and grabbed the oxygen cylinder on the table and took a deep breath.
"call……"
After taking a long breath, he leaned back in his seat, his eyes full of fatigue.
His name is Takasugi Yuto, and he was originally the assistant of the famous detective Narisawa.
Ever since Mr. Narisawa called him to his office late at night the day before yesterday, quietly handed him a folder and asked him to return to university, some strange things have gradually happened around him.
At first, more and more people started to gather outside the building where their seminar room was located.
Although he hadn't been to school for a while, Takasugi Yuto remembered very clearly that the building where their seminar was located was in a very remote location, with no must-go roads around it, and usually no one would pass by here.
But since he came back the night before, this place suddenly became lively.
From time to time, some people would pass by outside the building, and strangers would often come into the building under the guise of sightseeing.
Even yesterday, Takasugi Yuto met a reporter who claimed to be from some program and ran into their seminar room to conduct an interview.
What’s even more exaggerated is that after he came back from the cafeteria after dinner yesterday afternoon, he found signs that his drawers had been rummaged through.
As a quasi-detective, Takasugi Yuto vaguely realized that he might be being followed and monitored.
And the purpose of these people is most likely the folder that Mr. Narisawa gave him.
Takasugi Yuto instinctively felt a sense of danger, although he didn't know what kind of trouble Mr. Narisawa was in, nor did he know what was in the folder.
But there was one thing he was very clear about, that is, he could not show any abnormality at this time, he could not cause trouble for Mr. Narisawa, nor could he try to call the police.
Because if calling the police would have been useful, Mr. Narisawa would have called the police long ago. There is no way he would have been allowed to leave quietly with the folder.
Since Mr. Narisawa did not choose to call the police, it means that calling the police will not only fail to solve the difficulties Mr. Narisawa is currently facing, but may even put him in greater danger.
But this does not mean that Takasugi Yuto will just sit there and wait for death.
Although the police were no longer of any use, he still had other ways to give a little warning to those who were following him around.
That's Detective Maori!
Didn’t someone secretly rummage through the drawers of his seminar room yesterday while he was away?
He could use this as an excuse, pretending that he had lost 100,000 yuan for living expenses, and invite Detective Maori to investigate the area thoroughly!
He wanted to see where those people could hide under the sharp eyes of Detective Maori!
"Yuto, I brought you lunch."
Suddenly, the door of the seminar room was opened, and a woman wearing glasses and looking gentle walked in, carrying a lunch box.
Her name is Suzumura Rin, and she is Takasugi Yuto's girlfriend.
"Xiao Lin, thank you."
Takasugi Yuto took the lunch box and grinned.
He has a very good relationship with Suzumura Rin, and they have been boyfriend and girlfriend since they went to college.
"You're welcome. Please eat quickly. I have to meet a relative."
"relative?"
So sleepy, I will update three times tomorrow (﹃)
Chapter 124 You are becoming more and more skilled, Kiel
"relative?"
In the seminar room, Takasugi Yuto was a little confused when he heard this word from Suzumura Rin.
He remembered that Suzumura Rin's parents and relatives should be in the countryside now, right? Why did he suddenly say he wanted to meet his relatives?
"Ah."
Suzumura Rin stopped, looked back at him, and explained:
“The security guard told me when I came back that a young woman who claimed to be my cousin had just asked me where I was.
After the guard told her that I went to the cafeteria, my cousin left a note with the guard, saying that when she returned to the city this time, my mother and her family had something to bring me, so my cousin brought it up along the way and asked me to pick it up in the parking lot behind the school after dinner.
"Is that so? Do you need me to go with you?"
Takasugi Yuto didn't ask much, as Suzumura Rin's cousin did often bring her things.
"No, it doesn't seem to be a heavy thing. Yuto, you can have lunch first. I can go alone."
After saying that, Suzumura Rin turned around to leave.
But when she reached the door, for some reason, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and a very uneasy feeling suddenly came over her.
"Well……"
Suzumura Rin subconsciously raised her hand to cover her chest, feeling a little flustered.
"What's wrong?" Noticing her abnormality, Takasugi Yuto asked with concern.
"No, nothing..."
Taking a deep breath to calm his breathing, Suzumura Rin turned to look at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Yuto..."
"What happened?"
"No, it's nothing."
[Are you hiding something from me? ]
In the end, he was unable to ask this question. Suzumura Rin shook his head and turned to leave the seminar room.
For some reason, in the two days after Takasugi Yuto returned to school, she always had an uneasy feeling in her heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
It must be her illusion...
Thinking of this, Suzumura Rin left the teaching building, walked across most of the campus, and came to a parking lot that was basically empty at the moment.
"My cousin's car..."
Based on his memory, Suzumura Rin compared the vehicles in the parking lot one by one.
"Strange, no... Did my cousin change the car?"
Not finding the vehicle he remembered, Suzumura Rin took out his cell phone and searched for his cousin's number in the address book.
Speaking of which, my cousin often travels between the city and the countryside for work, and many times she would help my mother bring some things to her.
But Suzumura Rin remembered that her cousin would usually call her in advance when she came before, so why did she go straight to their teaching building this time?
"found it."
After finding the phone number in the address book, Suzumura Rin did not notice that a figure was quietly approaching her from behind.
"Call and ask..."
Just as she was about to press the dial button, she saw the figure behind her suddenly quicken his pace and hit her hard on the back of her neck with a knife.
"Well!"
Unable to put up any resistance, Suzumura Rin rolled her eyes and fainted immediately.
The figure behind her quickly stepped forward, holding her with one hand and catching her dropped phone with the other.
"You're really becoming more and more skilled, Kiel."
The door of a black car next to them opened, and Vermouth, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, walked out of the car leisurely.
"Stop talking nonsense and open the back door quickly."
After confirming that the number on the phone had not been dialed, Rena Mizunashi looked at Vermouth and gestured to the rear door of the car.
After opening the car door, the two men worked together to lift the unconscious Suzumura Rin to the back seat. After making sure that the entire process was not seen by anyone else, they each returned to the front seat of the car.
"So? You called me here specifically to keep watch for you to kidnap the female college student?"
In the driver's seat, Vermouth took out a cigarette box from the armrest box and lit a cigarette for herself.
"Didn't I remind you to bring your disguise props?"
After answering her casually, Rena Mizunashi reclined her seat, turned around, bent down, and took out her student ID from Rin Suzumura.
[You're not mistaken, it's her. ]
"It seems to be the case... So the person you want to disguise yourself as is her? Who is she?" After exhaling a puff of smoke, Vermouth asked.
She was called by Mizuno Rena to help this morning, and was asked to bring the disguise props with her.
"Suzumura Rin, Takasugi Yuto's girlfriend."
After taking all the ID and keys from Suzumura Rin, Mizunashi Rena started taking off her clothes in the car.
"what……"
