Chapter 378: "The Truth" (II) (5000 words)

"So, what is the relationship between Mr. Sato and Hayato Yamada?"

When Stephen King, the master, read this again, he couldn't help but smile.

This sentence can be regarded as a turning point in the whole film.

Prior to this, Officer Kaga had already begun his own further investigation, looking for new clues and getting to the bottom of the entire case.

As a result, the disappearance of Hayato Yamada has a great connection with Sato's murder case.

But that's just the police's perspective.

In fact, in Sato's room, lawyer Komimon has already taken the disappearance of Hayato Yamada as a major breaking point.

As long as the judge can be convinced that Yamada's father has a great determination for revenge, and because the newspaper clearly shows that Yamada's mother is on it, this is already very strong evidence.

However, since the disappearance of Hayato Yamada was established, his father found Sato's body and made a move such as killing people.

So, you have to know the relationship between Mr. Sato and Hayato Yamada.

Obviously, the previous Sato was lying to Komemon.

Can you tell the truth now?

"This ......"

"Mr. Sato, you have to understand, I'm here to help you, if you can't tell the least truth in the face of me, then, how can we cooperate in court?"

The words of the lawyer Komimen finally moved Sato.

"Okay, I'll just tell you about it, actually, I met Hayato Yamada twenty years ago, but only in terms of work, only in terms of business, and it is not a very important business, and I have not met his family. Oh, I mean I didn't know what his family was like before, but what really changed was more than two months ago, and it seemed that all of a sudden, Hayato Yamada found me, and he seemed to find something interesting, so he invited me to be a guest at his place, and I didn't refuse, and then, I don't know what happened, and he disappeared. ”

When Stephen King read Sato's statement, he saw it very clearly, it was completely told from Sato's point of view, and there was no emotional detail depiction.

However, it can be clearly felt that Sato should have movements at this time, maybe scratching his head, maybe rubbing his hands together.

Because I can hear from his words, he should still be hiding it.

Lawyer Gu Meimen is no longer the main perspective at this time, so his state is described.

This is, of course, with the help of Sato's eyes.

The book reads:

A flattering smile appeared on Gu Meimen's face, this smile was a little fake, but it should be fine.

He must have heard something, but because he wanted to help me, he ignored it.

Do you want to tell it all?

Some hesitation.

The description of this paragraph is completely Sato's inner change.

Fortunately, Stephen King read the back, otherwise, it would have been a bit confusing here.

But soon, it was switched again.

......

Kyoichiro Kaga contacted his colleagues in Yamagata Prefecture.

Yamagata Prefecture is the hometown of Yamada Hayato, and it was in his hometown that he disappeared.

The criminal police of Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture, called Hattori Ichiro to receive him.

"Judging from the records at the scene, there are two obvious brake marks on the road not far from Yamada Hayabusa's house.

It can be judged that there was probably a traffic accident at that time.

However, there was no report on the day, and the Yamada family was sparsely populated in the countryside, and there were even bears on the highway on weekdays. ”

"Oh, that's it, then, that is, ......"

"Kaga-kun, what are you trying to say?"

"There was an accident before Hayato Yamada's disappearance, so this accident must be directly related to his disappearance, right?"

"There is no evidence of this. ”

"Okay, so what about Miss Yoko? I would like to ask, have the Yamada family or any other neighbors seen her?"

"No, the photo before the disappearance was actually taken in the city of Yamagatata, and the restaurants in the city took pictures of some good-looking customers in order to attract business, and Miss Yoko was very beautiful, and she left her image there. ”

"I see. ”

Kaga thought about it for a moment and decided on his next goal.

"Let's go to the scene of the accident. ”

Kaga and Hattori went to the countryside like this.

Stephen King knew that Sato and Komimon, who were next, came to the point.

Hotel room.

"Mr. Sato, Yamada's father, has he been in contact with you?"

"This ......"

"Please be a little honest with me, thanks. ”

"Well, that person did come to me, Masamitsu Yamada, he was a very persistent old man, and I don't know why, so he decided that I had something to do with his son's disappearance. ”

"Mr. Sato, let me remind you that the scene of a car accident is very difficult to clean up. ”

"You, what are you talking about!"

"Mr. Sato, let's be honest, the truth is actually like this, there was a car accident in the countryside of Yamagata Prefecture, and the two people who were driving at the time were you and Hayato Yamada, right? And there is also an eyewitness to this car accident, she is Miss Yoko Mogami, right? ”

"Lawyer Gu Meimen! Let me remind you, you are my defense lawyer, but look at what you are talking about now!"

"Mr. Sato, I have definitely not forgotten who I am, and I am on your side, but if we don't make this matter clear, then in court, do you think prosecutors are stupid? Are Japanese judges idiots?"

It was as if the two were at an impasse.

Stephen King knew that the car accident caused here was an extremely important point.

The next development began to completely exceed expectations.

When I read this, I can roughly make a plot deduction.

As a reader, you should already know that Sato and Yamada originally knew each other, and Yoko was Sato's girlfriend, and Yamada invited Sato to his hometown as a guest, and in this visit, it is likely that an accident occurred, which probably led to Yamada's disappearance.

However, there is a small problem with this.

Why did Yoko go with her?

As a reader, because I am looking at the perspective of three people, of course I know that Yoko and Yamada have known each other before.

But what about from Sato's point of view?

He never seemed to mention the relationship between Yamada and Yoko.

The result is a very simple detail that is easy to overlook.

When I read it for the first time, even Stephen King ignored it.

Sato: Does he know the fact that Yoko and Yamada know each other?

The answer to this question would make a vastly different outcome in this case.

But by this time, Stephen King had already seen it, so he understood that this was a very small, but interesting ambush.

It's funny, and the reader and the author seem to be fighting wits.

In this way, the first time I lost, I lost.

It turns out that a truth has been buried here.

At this time, Sato seemed to have figured out something.

He suddenly asked:

"Lawyer Komeimon, how did you know this? How did you know about Hayato Yamada? How did you know about Masamitsu Yamada? Why did you investigate this?"

In an instant, it seemed that lawyer Komimon had become Sato's enemy.

Moreover, these questions are really difficult for him to answer.

But then, I went to Kaga.

Yamagata Prefecture.

"Didn't anyone report a traffic accident at that time?"

"Nope. ”

"So, is there a camera?"

"It's so desolate, and there are so many mountains and fields, it's not as good as the big cities. ”

"There's only one case of disappearance?"

"That's right, actually, this case is a big deal, Officer Kaga, don't you really know? In a place like ours, capable young people have gone to Tokyo, and the rest are more old guys, and Japan's aging population is not just for fun. ”

"Okay, I see, then, isn't there any clue to the disappearance of Hayato Yamada?"

"Yes, the car is missing, I can't find it. In addition, someone seems to have seen a car from Tokyo, the front of the car is damaged, but it still continues to drive, it should be back to Tokyo. ”

"Hey, Mr. Hattori, isn't that a good clue?"

"Officer Kaga, there must be a connection between them?"

It seems that Kyoichiro Kaga's investigation has also run into problems.

"Can you go to Yamada's house?"

"It's been a long time since the Yamada family was left alone. ”

Things are not going well.

......

Transfer back to the hotel room again.

This time, it is told from the perspective of Gu Meimen.

"Mr. Sato, your question is very sharp, but I will definitely tell you the truth, very simple, that is, Mr. Yamada Masamitsu, he did a lot of research on his own, and before I came to you, Yamada Masamitsu found me first. ”

This should be enough.

When Stephen King saw this, he couldn't help but laugh again.

It's just so much fun.

Gu Meimen, this guy, didn't he just say it before, although he is undefeated, he only recognizes one thing, money!

Obviously, this answer is completely in line with the characteristics of Gumeimen.

This lawyer, who only looks at money, sold his original employer, that is, Yamada Masamitsu.

Interestingly, answering like this made Sato completely relaxed.

"I see, I misunderstood Mr. Komemon, please rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward. ”

Perfect answer, it worked.

Next, Gumeimen was even more unscrupulous.

"I'll tell you, Mr. Sato, Masamitsu Yamada has investigated a lot, and he has done a lot of layouts, and his wife has entered the hotel where you are staying, and this is part of the investigation, but fortunately, I have my own news channel, so I have also investigated a lot, and ...... of them"

It's not easy for me to be Gumeimen.

There is also Gu Meimen's inner drama in the book.

Then, Sato, who had already trusted Komimon, told the truth. He confessed to the accident, and the outcome of that accident was ...

"Mr. Sato, tell me honestly that Yamada is dead, right?"

"I didn't look closely, I was panicking. ”

"So, what about the car?"

"Yoko and I drive a car by ourselves. ”

"You're driving Hayato Yamada's car?"

"It's not me, because there was blood in the driver's seat of the car at the time, and if I drove it, it would be difficult for me to drive my own car in the future, and if there was a police check, I would definitely not be able to get through, so it was Yoko who drove his car, and we ......"

"You threw the corpses?"

"No, that can't be called throwing a corpse. ”

"Well, you really can't call it that, so, what's it called?"

"Komeimon! I know you're sarcastic! But you're fucking working for me right now!"

"I'm sorry. Boss, please keep talking. ”

"Actually, it was very chaotic at the time, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, I ...... with Yoko"

Sato finally told the truth.

After the accident in Yamagata Prefecture, this accident made Sato very panicked, he was a famous figure, and he had a female companion like Yoko by his side, she was not his wife.

Therefore, it is normal for them to choose to cover up this accident.

Yoko completed the body dumping with him, that is, the two of them sank the car into a nearby lake together, and Yamada Hayato's body was loaded in his own car.

Sato never wanted to tell anyone about this matter, but in the face of Gu Meimen, he should already know a lot of information, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

Even it can be simply deduced, Yamada Masamitsu also knows a lot of information, and he can roughly guess that the murderer of his son is Sato Naiya.

So......

"In this way, we can complete the entire chain of evidence, that is to say, Yamada Masamitsu has enough motives to do revenge, as for how to kill people, and enter this secret room and follow out, yes, we really don't have any evidence, it doesn't matter, just let him confess himself, because that's not how to kill people in the secret room, if we can't guess, let the prisoner tell the truth."

So ......"

At this point, Gumeimen paused.

Then, in a very solemn tone, he said, "Mr. Sato, you must admit the fact of the traffic accident and the fact of throwing the body. ”

Nariya Sato's perspective...

When I heard this, I was so angry!

"Bastard, how can I admit this? Confess, am I not ruined? I absolutely not!"

Stephen King understands that at this point, in fact, this confession is really just a small sin.

Of course, Sato and Komimen will have a fierce quarrel, but unfortunately, these are just disguises.

Until, Gumeimen would say such a sentence.

"What happened 20 years ago?"

"What?"

When it comes to 20 years ago, Sato is of course very confused.

However, Gu Meimen's next statement was a big surprise.

"Mr. Sato, how about I do another reasoning now?"

"Well, you can say it. ”

"Mr. Sato, please listen.

The truth of the matter may be this, such a confusing story may be simply simple.

Hayato Yamada is coming to contact you, and by this time, you've already made up your mind.

So, you took Miss Yoko with you to Yamagata Prefecture.

But in fact, you're not going to meet at all, and Miss Yoko is also useful, she's a helper, and she's an important person.

Let's just do it, Mr. Sato, you're just going to kill people.

That traffic accident in Yamagata Prefecture was actually not an accident at all, you did it on purpose.

Okay, don't be in a hurry to refute me.

Let me move on to Miss Yoko's business.

Miss Yoko has become your accomplice in this 'accident'.

However, in fact, you have been ready to kill Miss Yoko in the morning. ”

"What are you talking about!" Sato Naiya couldn't hold back any longer, he yelled!

Gu Meimen continued to smile and said, "Don't worry, let me continue."

In fact, there are no secret rooms at all.

Or rather, you built the secret room yourself.

Mr. Sato, not long after killing the corpse of Hayato Yamada, you must have found out that Mrs. Yamada had come in to work in the hotel where you lived, right?

And that's where you put it to use.

In other words, there is no third person in the secret room at all, and there are only two people in that room, you and Miss Yoko.

You didn't know that Yoko-sama was terminally ill, so you were ready to kill someone from the beginning.

You also carried out this murderous act, and you succeeded.

As for the rest, the only surprise you should have been that the police came a little early, right?

So, you don't have time to do some arrangement, but it's nothing, because Mrs. Yamada is here, and you just have to take sleeping pills, so you can pretend that Mrs. Yamada drugged you, at least that's what you think.

Actually, you have already thought about your confession early in the morning, just like you said before, and vaguely saw a man who looked like Masamitsu Yamada.

Mr. Sato, you have done a great job, and you have been guiding in this direction.

If it was someone else, it would have been tricked. ”

These words ...

Stephen King bets!

Bet on anything, anyone will have their brains exploding when they see this.

Is this the truth?

It turns out that all this was planned by Sato, did he simply want to kill Hayato Yamada and his female companion Yoko?

But that's not all.

Because, there is another key.

Why?

Soon, the answer came.

"Lawyer Gu Meimen, what do you mean by that?"

"I'm just telling the truth. ”

"How can this be the truth!"

"Because that's the truth. ”

"I don't believe it!"

"Mr. Sato, I will ask you a question now, and you can answer it, if you don't answer, then everything you say will become evidence in court. ”

"Are you threatening me?"

"That's right, I'm just threatening you, and the question is, what is the truth about the plane crash 20 years ago? It shouldn't be as simple as the tail of the plane falling off, right?"

"You, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all!"

This brings us to what happened 20 years ago.

The plane crash......

Stephen King recalled it, and he knew that it was a 123 air crash.

However, it is not so detailed.

But then came the most shocking.

This master knew that Gu Meimen was going to be a general.

"Mr. Sato, let me be honest with you, see, what is this?"

Gu Meimen pulled out a pen, which he had used to take notes, and this pen was opened.

Inside turned out to be something with a wire.

"This ...... Eavesdropping ......"

"That's right!"

Gumeon then got even more interesting, and he took off his hair.

"I'm sorry, but it's too hard to make a perfect 37. ”

This move made Sato completely dumbfounded!

Then, Komimen continued: "You know Miss Yoko, she is actually a family member of one of the victims of that plane crash, you only found out later, right?

So I'll tell you a little bit more ......."

Sato suddenly interrupted him, "You are also one of the families of the victims?"

Gu Meimen shook his head, "I'm an actor, I'm just moved by these family members who want to know the truth, so I became Gu Meimen, I'll let you tell the truth." ”

At this time, Sato burst out laughing, "Haha, you are not a professional lawyer, you don't understand these words at all! These words have no legal effect at all! Even if I say it, it is the Yamada Hayato I killed! It is Yoko Mogami that I killed! However, the judge still cannot convict me! Because there is no evidence!"

"Really?" the fake Gu Meimen asked with a smile, and then he said, "I have evidence that you can't imagine. ”

At this point, the perspective shifts again.

Kyoichiro Kaga's investigation in Yamagata Prefecture seems to be clueless.

But when he came to Yamada's house...

"You ......"

"Hayato Yamada, I'm sorry to worry you. ”

That's right, Yamada Hayato, who should have gone missing, is in his own home.

Stephen King believes that anyone who reads this for the first time will feel as if their brain has been bombed by a nuclear bomb when they first read it.

Hayato Yamada is not dead!

And he is the most crucial evidence, which is what Sato can't imagine...

PS: The first more is sent, this chapter is actually very difficult to write, and the length is longer, I hope you can like it, this reasoning is original to the black car, to tell the truth, it is difficult to compare. That, the black car is really lacking sleep now, I just want to sleep, the feeling of being sleepy, please give the black car a few days, adjust it, thank you very much, thank you very much!
