Chapter 124: Behind the Scenes
Katoriko Sugawara had been waiting at the door of the police station for a long time, she saw Suzuki Shuxiang in and out, and then this ancient Fujii suddenly appeared, she had to wait and wait, until she saw Matsuki send the ancient Fujii out, she thought: No one is coming.
Just as Matsuki turned around, she walked a few steps and stopped Matsuki.
Matsuki heard her voice and sighed in his heart: This eventful night! Then he turned around and asked, "Miss Suhara, what do you have to do?" β
"Mr. Matsuki, do you want me to stand here and talk to you?"
Songmu was attracted by her delicate face in the night, and was stunned for a long time before he smiled: "You three, can't you make an agreement tonight?" β
Katoriko also knew what he was referring to, and smiled slightly and said, "I promise, after me, there will be no one." β
Matsuki sighed, "Please come in." He said.
Katoriko pursed her lips and followed him in.
"What's the matter with you, thisβ" said Matsuki, looking at the time, "it's almost ten o'clock." β
"North Rock swept me out of the house." Katoriko sat casually and said, "I have no place to go." β
"Don't, don't...... Beiyan doesn't dare, I can't stand your words, I'm a married person! β
Katoriko smiled for a moment before saying, "Beiyan cares about me and doesn't let me be by his side." β
"So what?"
"So I'm coming to you."
"Seriously, don't tease me, Miss Suhara, who are you, who am I, and we don't know each other very well, don't make fun of people like this."
"Where?" "If I hadn't come to you, why would I be sitting in your office right now?" β
"Okay, so what's the matter with you?"
"Of course it's Beiyan's business, he is too kind-hearted and too considerate of others, since he refuses to be a bad person, I think I can do it for him."
"What do you mean?
"When dealing with Ichiro Suzuki, you are the most critical person, because you treat him as a friend, so you will help him; And because he is a friend of you, he doesn't want you to put yourself in danger by helping him, like this, when will you achieve your goal? β
"So you mean ......"
Katoriko opened her sincere eyes wide and said, "So I'm going to be this bad guy, and I beg you toβdo your bestβ"
"I see, it's just, how far do you think I can help you?"
"I don't know."
Matsuki was silent for a moment and asked, "Why don't you ask your father?" β
"He doesn't understand me, and I'm afraid that if I fail, it will affect him, he has spent most of his life to get to now, I can't be ruined because of me, and I only have one father, but he is more than one child, I can take risks, he can't take risks......"
Katoriko stayed, thinking that her eldest brother was working in Tokyo, her second sister was married to Hokkaido, and her younger brother was only nine years old, and even if she didn't have herself, her father wouldn't lose much.
Matsuki didn't say a word, and stood with his back to Katoriko, especially calm.
"I know this selfishness, I don't know when it became so bad, so selfish......" Katoriko's heart sank, looking at Matsuki's back, it seemed that she could feel the pain in his heart, and suddenly woke up as if in a dream, and hurriedly said, "Forget what I said." β
As she spoke, she blushed and turned to leave.
"Wait." Matsuki hurriedly said, "If you say this before Furujii comes, I really don't know what I will think in my heart, but if you come after him, I don't have to think about it, there is only one answer in my heart." β
Katoriko looked at it stunned, not knowing what it meant.
"You don't understand, but when you know what just happened, you understand." Matsuki tells him how Furufukai "coerced" him to help him solve Ichiro Suzuki's plan to control the Suzuki family, and Katoriko immediately understands that Matsuki has no other choice, and he is forced to embark on the path of revenge on Kitaiwa and become involved in Furujii's dark and vicious plans.
Despite this, Katoriko knew that she still had such selfish thoughts, and it was even more uncomfortable to see Matsuki, an innocent person, come into such a situation.
"You don't have to blame yourself, Gu Fujii just made a choice for me, in fact, this will fulfill me, so that I don't have to be so entangled." Matsuki said with a smile.
Katoriko looked at him, moved and grateful.
"Actually, it's very simple to end up with Ichiro Suzuki, it's just that since this matter has involved Kitaiwa, you, me, and Gufukai Quartet, we have to think more about how to leave no traces and ensure that the four of us get rid of the slightest suspicion, otherwise with the strength of the Suzuki family, if we entangle any person, we will be in trouble."
Katoriko nodded and said, "Until now, Beiyan still doesn't know what we're doing here, he definitely doesn't want to see me, and I'm acting behind the scenes, which can be more helpful, so you go and tell him tomorrow, and we can discuss countermeasures, but ...... Just now you said that you need Beiyan to show his face outside, and Gu Fujii ordered someone to assassinate him under false pretenses and let Beiyan cheat to death, I must not agree. β
"Are you worried about ......"
"Let him put himself at risk, what if the fake comes true?" Katoriko said, "Everything I did was for him, and Furufukai asked him to take risks, so what's the point of all this I do?" β
"I thought about it, too, and he said he would think it through."
"Him?" Katoriko sneered, "I don't agree with what you say, Beiyan's life and death have no effect on his purpose, of course he doesn't care." β
"I know, I'll discuss it again, I'm careless." Matsuki said.
Katoriko was thinking about something, and Matsuki saw that it was late at night and sent her away.
These few things happened one after another so that Matsuki was a little caught off guard, it was a kind of heavy burden on his shoulders, and he was powerless and unable to resist the helplessness and pain, he sent away Katoriko, and stood at the door of the police station for a while, looking around, he only heard the sound of insects, and couldn't see anything, "No one will come." Then he thought, and went into the house alone, and sat down in the bright light.
He closed his eyes and, before he knew it, fell asleep. Until someone came in to inform him, he woke up and looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock. I suddenly remembered that Ichiro Suzuki was still in the interrogation room.
"How's he doing?" Matsuki asked.
"Sleep, do you want to wake up?"
"No, wait until one o'clock in the morning." Matsuki said, "Tonight's shift, you tell the brother on duty to go to sleep first." β
"Yes."
"Remember to prepare the meal, don't let him go hungry like this."
"Yes."
Matsuki felt a little tricky, "This man is so calm," he thought, "after a day of hunger, he can still be sober to this extent, and he doesn't say a word, and he really ruthlesss the character." The decision he made in his sober state was undoubtedly the result of careful thinking and reasonable judgment, such a person, Gu Fujii's plan may not be very sure to deceive him, it seems that he can't be too sober. β
Matsuki thought again: "Hongda Kiyono and Chiko Okra were killed by one person, which means that this murderer may still be in the city, I don't know if Suzuki Shuka mentioned it to Suzuki Ichiro, and just now Gu Fujii mentioned that Suzuki Ichiro has not seen this killer, and everything is indirectly taken over through his subordinates, so you might as well take a little means to test his psychological defense." β
Thinking like this, Matsuki suddenly sobered up a lot, and immediately arranged everything, waiting only for one o'clock in the morning, which would be the time when he was most sleepy.
At thirty o'clock in the morning, Matsuki was ready, his heart was pounding, and he paced back and forth in the hall only to see the time.
Thirty minutes later.
Matsuki commanded: "Wake him up and give him food first." β
Ichiro Suzuki fell asleep on the table in the interrogation room, until the guards woke him up, his eyes were slightly open, and his eyes were dim, perhaps he was a little dazed by hunger, and he stared at the guards for a minute or two before he could see his face.
"Give." The guard placed a box of meals on the table in front of him through the barred window.
The sleepy Ichiro Suzuki's whole body ached, he glanced at the guard and asked, "What time is it?" β
"It's almost dawn, it's your breakfast." The warden said, turning to leave.
Ichiro Suzuki didn't care about other things and finished eating in one go.
Matsuki saw it and said to the people around him, "Add more." β
Within five minutes, he was eating again.
"Add more."
So he gave him another serving, and he still finished eating.
"Add more."
This time, halfway through eating, he rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair, his hands and feet resting on his side as if he were paralyzed.
Within ten minutes, he was sleepy again, and Matsuki saw his chest heaving and his mouth gasping for air.
"Bring it on." Matsuki said.
Then, one of his men went down for a long time, and when he returned, he was followed by two men who brought a man with a clear silhouette and eyes in his eyes.
Matsuki wants to put pressure on Ichiro Suzuki by pretending to be the killer who killed Kiyono Hirota and Chiko Okra, and maybe it can cause him a psychological impact.
Matsuki took this person to the interrogation room to replace Ichiro Suzuki, and asked Ichiro Suzuki to return to the cell, when the stand-in deliberately limped in, Ichiro Suzuki squinted at him, didn't think about anything, he was full of food and drink at this time, but his whole body was another kind of weakness, he only felt that his eyes hurt, and he just wanted to lie down and sleep.
Matsuki was already sitting outside the interrogation room and asked the person in the interrogation room, "You killed Chiko Okra and Kiyono Hiroda in the same way, do you recognize this?" β
When Ichiro Suzuki heard this, his body paused, his eyes narrowed, and he opened slightly, he turned his head to look at this person, and immediately turned around and walked slowly.
The corridor was long, and apart from the sound of his feet on the floor echoing for a long time, he could only hear Matsuki's voice asking the man: "This is your murderous dagger, you see." β
Matsuki rested the dagger on the table in the interrogation room, and the two collided, making a "cluck-" sound, and Ichiro Suzuki frowned slightly, but still walked forward, he could only hear Matsuki's voice, but not the man's voice.
"Who are the people behind the scenes?" Matsuki asked again.
Ichiro Suzuki stood still and listened intently, wondering what the man would say, but he couldn't hear it.
"Let's go." The people on both sides urged Ichiro Suzuki, and at this time, his heart was agitated, and the wrinkles on his forehead were deep.
Matsuki continued, "What do they look like?" β
Ichiro Suzuki only heard this, then turned around and couldn't hear it again.
