Chapter 39: Showdown with Keiko
"I would venture to ask, the daughter of the big man you mentioned...... Could it be that the current Minister of Justice, Nobuko Ando, right?"
Lin Xiuyi carefully looked at Xinmu Wanzhai's reaction after hearing his words, at first he was a little surprised, and then he shook his head and denied it to Lin Xiuyi.
"No, I don't mean politicians when I say big shots. And she herself has already gone to live abroad, so I won't tell you her name, please understand this!"
Although Shinki Wanzhai denied Lin Xiuyi's speculation. However, Lin Xiuyi already knew the answer from his hesitant gaze. He glanced sideways at Miki, then turned to Professor Shinki and said:
"Thank you very much for your cooperation, I'm sorry for delaying you for so long, I think we'll leave today. If you can remember anything related to Hamada-sen, no matter how small, please feel free to contact us!"
"Ah...... I'm leaving, let my students send you off!"
"Hmm...... No need, we've been bothering you for a long time!"
After a few pleasantries, Shuichi Hayashi and Miki immediately walked out of Professor Shinki Mansai's laboratory and walked back along the road they had come from. Miki followed behind Lin Xiuyi, and saw that it was already some distance away from the building just now, so she ran a few steps to follow Lin Xiuyi and said:
"The police department, the young lady of the official eunuch family mentioned by Professor Shinki should be Minister Ando!"
"Hmm...... It looks like the odds should be great. However, I think Professor Shinki's answer just now is really a bit strange! As soon as I heard the hint she gave just now, I immediately remembered Nobuko Ando. No matter how you look at the lover of Hamada Land that he mentioned, I think it is very consistent with Nobuko Ando!"
"But, the police department! The previous date between Minister Ando and Hamada Daichi was secret, and it didn't let the media break the news. Even we, the police, just found out about it. I don't think Professor Shinki knows about what Hamada and Ando are dating......! Anyway, we now have one more reason to suspect Minister Ando, and it seems that the combination of love debt and politics may really make Nobuko Ando lose her mind. Of course, with Nobuko Ando's current status, she shouldn't have done it herself. If it was to be done, it could only be done by some rewarding killer. ”
Mikichi whispered a guess in a low voice. Although he felt that Nobuko Ando was not very good at solving problems by killing people. But the point is that during the time that Hamada Daichi was dating Minister Ando, he was still dating several women who didn't know each other at the same time. Once Nobuko Ando knows about this, as a woman, she will do something irrational, and I'm afraid it's not impossible.
"Police Department, do we still want to continue to investigate the relationship between Nobuko Ando and Daichi Hamada? I don't think Minister Ando will confess her relationship with Daichi Hamada to us!"
Miki followed Lin Xiuyi's side and earnestly inquired about the next task.
"Anyway, we still want to find a way to investigate! Next, I want to go to the Setama Prison and ask Keiko about the relationship between Hamada and Ando in person!"
After Shuichi Hayashi and Miki returned to the car, they immediately started the car and headed in the direction of the Setama Prison. While on the road, Lin Xiuyi kept thinking about how to get Jingzi to reveal the truth. Keiko's shrewdness Lin Xiuyi has a deep understanding, and he has no way to force Keiko to do anything according to his wishes. However, now Lin Xiuyi has one thing that can be determined. That is, the relationship between Keiko and Hamada Daichi is not the relationship she claims to have ever dated. Because Keiko has never had the taste of "Nile Garden". What's more, compared to Nobuko Ando, who has a high status, how could Hamada be a colleague to provoke Ando's cronies, Keiko? .
After the car drove into the central expressway, it took about two hours to finally arrive at the Setama Prison in the middle of nowhere. The reason why Keiko is detained here is entirely to avoid the eyes and ears of the media. It's far from the bustling Tokyo metropolitan area, and the population is not large, so few media would have thought that Keiko would be locked up in such a remote place.
The Penal Service is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice. Keiko, a former elite bureaucrat at the Ministry of Justice, will naturally be treated preferentially here. After repeated inspections, Lin Xiuyi was led by the criminal officer to a separate reception room. I waited for about a few minutes. Jingzi was brought to Lin Xiuyi from the other side of the room.
"Finally know that he came to see me, it's rare that Officer Lin is free, is there any progress in my case?"
As soon as they met, Jingzi said to Lin Xiuyi with a smile.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and your complexion still looks the same as before!"
Lin Xiuyi was not surprised by Keiko's calmness, in fact, he didn't know what could make Keiko feel scared. Lin Xiuyi has known Jingzi for a long time, and the two have experienced a lot of things together, so Lin Xiuyi knows that even if she is in prison, Jingzi will not give up what she is guarding because of her own situation. Because there are many things that Lin Xiuyi doesn't understand and don't care about, they need to be cared about like Jingzi.
"Tell me, have you found something all the way to such a remote place?"
"Between you and the land of Hamada...... There shouldn't be any lovers!"
Lin Xiuyi announced to Jingzi with great certainty. Jingzi heard Lin Xiuyi's tone and couldn't help but raise his head to check his expression. He saw Lin Xiuyi's calm expression and a confident look. Naturally, she understood that Lin Xiuyi dared to ask such a question, and naturally there was a basis, so she asked Lin Xiuyi rhetorically:
"Is this the only thing you have found in such a long time?"
"You can underestimate me, the person who really interacts with Councilor Hamada should be Minister Ando, I guessed right!"
Hearing Lin Xiu's mention of Nobuko Ando, Keiko's brows furrowed slightly, but then Keiko asked Lin Xiuyi seriously:
"How do you know about such a thing?"
Seeing Jingzi's somewhat angry look, Lin Xiuyi knew that his guess was accurate. However, there is still an important matter waiting for Lin Xiuyi to confirm.
"Yes, not only did I know that they were dating, but I also knew that they were once school sweethearts. You say, am I right?"
