Chapter 13: Mrs. Kakiya

Lin Xiuyi left Yasuyuki Nanda's box with full suspicion, he couldn't understand why Sakurako Takudai and Yasuyuki Nanda looked like they were hiding something? Could it be that this was a murderous incident?

But if it is a conspiracy to murder someone, then Yasuyuki Nanda, who has alibi evidence, naturally cannot be the murderer. If this hypothesis is true, the murderer can only be Sakurako Tazui. But does this make sense? Sakurako doesn't look like a murderer who can easily strangle Erika Shiraishi with a yukata belt, as a woman, Sakurako Takuii's strength should be about the same as Erika Shiraishi, if these two people are really fighting for their lives, who strangled who might be killed.

But this possibility can't be ruled out.,If the murderer put some kind of drug in Erika Shiraishi's diet that can make people lose the ability to resist.,It's not impossible for Sakurako to strangle Erika Shiraishi directly.,Assuming that's really the case.,So I'm afraid Sakura's suspicion really can't be ruled out?

After ending the questioning of Yasuyuki Nantian, Lin Xiuyi's combing of the case became more messy, but now Lin Xiuyi has no direct evidence to point to the exact suspect. But Sakurako Sakurai, who speaks heavily, and Yasuyuki Nanda, who is ready early as if he is memorizing lines, are both too suspicious. Why is that?

With these questions, Lin Xiuyi knocked on the first box of the Persimmon Valley family. But what Lin Xiuyi didn't expect was that there was an old woman's weak voice coming from the box.

"Is it Haruko?"

"No, I'm sorry to bother you so late, I'm Lin Xiuyi from the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section, are you Mrs. Kakiya?"

Lin Xiuyi felt very strange, because when he was talking to Nantian just now, Lin Xiuyi got the image of Mrs. Kakiya from Nantian Yasuyuki's introduction as a middle-aged woman in her thirties, but the voice that came from the box just now should be a sixty-year-old man, Lin Xiuyi couldn't imagine the picture of Yasuyuki Nantian and a sixty-year-old woman talking freely in the lounge, even if he was rejected by the beautiful Sakurako Sakura, Nanda Yasuyuki would not go to talk to a sixty-year-old woman......

Just when Lin Xiuyi was wondering whether to push open the sliding door and go in to ask for advice, the sliding door of the next box was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman in an elegant Wu costume first poked her head out, and then walked out of the box, stood in front of Lin Xiuyi, and bowed slightly. And another five or six-year-old girl in the box also leaned against the door, poked her head out, and looked at Lin Xiuyi with innocent eyes.

"Hello Mr. Police, I'm Haruko Kakitani, this is my daughter Tamiko, and it's my mother-in-law who lives next door......!

Standing in front of Lin Xiuyi was a noble lady of about thirty years old, dressed in an elegant Wu costume that set off the other party's extraordinary temperament, but from the countenance, she looked a little haggard.

The reason why it is called Wu Fu is because the kimono on the other party's body is made of high-end silk at first glance, and it is definitely not a grade compared to the cotton and linen fabric worn by the female general Lin Xiuyi saw in Meiyuanya.

The term wufu refers specifically to high-end kimonos made of silkworm silk, while kimonos made of linen and cotton cloth are called "taimono". Even second-hand Wu clothing is often worth a lot of money. Therefore, on weekdays, everyone only wears Wu clothes on some important occasions, and will never wear such expensive and difficult things when taking the train.

"I'm sorry to delay your time so late, I would like to ask you a few questions, please rest assured, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes......"

After Lin Xiuyi bowed and returned the salute, she explained her intention, and Mrs. Persimmon Valley immediately let Lin Xiuyi into the private room, and the little girl hid behind her mother, staring at Lin Xiuyi vigilantly. Lin Xiuyi smiled at the little girl, but Xiao made a grimace at Lin Xiuyi, which made Lin Xiuyi feel a little embarrassed.

"Xiaomei, can't you be so rude to Mr. Police?"

Mrs. Persimilia reprimanded her daughter harshly, and then apologized to Lin Xiuyi, who smiled disapprovingly, and then asked what Mrs. Perkiya had done from eleven o'clock to one o'clock last night.

"After eleven o'clock last night, I should have been waiting for my mother-in-law to take medicine, and after my mother-in-law fell asleep, I came back to coax Xiaomei to sleep, about half past eleven, I was not too sleepy after doing these things, so I thought of taking a turn in other places on the train, after all, it is rare to take such a comfortable train......"

Mrs. Kasimiya stated to Lin Xiuyi while reminiscing, although there were no stumbles in the middle, her expression was very natural, so Lin Xiuyi felt that she should be telling the truth. Asking about this kind of thing actually requires a lot of experience, and if the suspect talks about his experience in a certain period of time in a very orderly manner, it is likely that the other party has prepared the lines in advance. Because people's memory is not a video recorder, they don't record everything they have done, so it's normal to have some oversights occasionally.

"I have to take the liberty of asking, where has Mr. Kakiya gone?" Lin Xiuyi looked at Mrs. Kakiya for a long time, this is a woman who looks a little tired and haggard, and she should not be able to kill Erika Shiraishi, so Lin Xiuyi wants to take a look at the male owner of the Kakiya family to see if the other party is involved in this case.

"That...... My husband...... Because of my work, I couldn't go to Aomori with us, so I left early with my mother-in-law and Xiaomei, and my husband would take a plane to Aomori after finishing his work in Tokyo......" Mrs. Kakiya said with some slurring.

Lin Xiuyi immediately felt that Mrs. Kakiya had changed the way she spoke, but this matter was related to Mr. Kakiya, since Mr. Kakiya was not on the Senhou train, Lin Xiuyi didn't care about these details.

"Is your family going on vacation to Aomori?" Lin Shuichi felt that Mrs. Kakiya suddenly became a little nervous, and in order to ensure that the question of confirming the time of Yasuyuki Minamida's crime would not be disturbed by the previous conversation, he diverted the topic and asked about something that was not very related.

"No, our family went to Aomori to settle down, where the hot springs and air are good for my mother-in-law's health, and my husband bought a new real estate there, so we can only be separated for the time being...... "Mrs. Kakiya said this, her eyes moistened a little.
