"No," Naoki sighed and shook his head, reproaching himself, "Keiko and we have never had a good relationship, and we hardly talk about work...... It's all because I'm too strict with Keiko, and if it weren't for that, things wouldn't have turned out like this. ”

"What about it?"

"A year ago, when we hadn't gone to Detective Joto to you, we had a big fight over Keiko's boyfriend because I heard that the other party had a bad record." Mr. Naoki explained.

Gao Cheng's heart moved, after experiencing the previous photographer murder incident, he is very sensitive to living with men and women, generally speaking, if there are men in the family, the toilet and toilet traces are the most obvious, the toothbrush must be prepared with an extra pair, and the toilet seat will also be habitually erected: "Does Miss Keiko still have a boyfriend?" But she was the only one in that house. ”

"Because they broke up after that." Mr. Naoki's face darkened slightly.

"That's right," Gao Cheng pondered, "whether Keiko's disappearance has something to do with that ex-boyfriend." ”

"That person is Keiko's colleague Akio Yoshino, but the police have already investigated, and he happened to travel abroad with his wife a few days ago, so it shouldn't have anything to do with it."

"I'm married."

Gao Cheng even had the idea that Keiko might really be angry and didn't see her parents for a while.

It is not unreasonable for the police to make such a judgment.

After walking for a while, I arrived at the nursing home that the cashier said, the environment was quiet, many elderly people were leisurely under the care of the nurses, and several elderly people were still playing shogi under the trees.

"I guess this is it," Utsumi looked around, not confident in finding someone, "Mr. Naoki, maybe your daughter is really just having a temper, and there is really little hope of coming here to find someone." ”

"Let's ask the dean first." Gao Cheng hopes that it is just Keiko who loses her temper, otherwise there will only be the worst result.

"Keiko?" The old dean took Keiko's photo and recalled, "This girl does come here occasionally. ”

Utsumi was stunned: "Huh? Are you sure? ”

"It's about half a month," the old dean nodded and sighed, "It's a very good child, there are really not many people as kind as Keiko now, you can ask Tamura about them, it's the ones who play shogi outside." ”

Gao Cheng didn't expect that the nursing home would really have clues, after all, it was a bit sensational to go to the nursing home to sell insurance.

"Keiko," the old man who played shogi immediately recognized the photo when he saw it, "I only came here a few days ago, and I talked to everyone about my family." ”

"Family?"

"It seems that she is a little distressed after quarreling with her family," an old woman next to her smiled, "That child is not good at communicating with her family, every time she comes to visit us, she always mentions her family, in fact, she loves her family in her heart." ”

"Keiko, she ......," Mr. Naoki choked up, "Did this kid mention anything?" ”

"I didn't say it, but I was happy when I left, and I should have reconciled with my family now."

"Keiko, is she okay?"

"It's, it's okay." Mr. Naoki looked at the old people who cared about his daughter and tried to hold back his tears.

"Excuse me," Takasei asked as he crossed Mr. Naoki, "what day did Miss Keiko come over?" ”

"About 3 days ago......"

The old people discussed with each other, "I remember it was four days ago, because Keiko hadn't come to see us again every other week, and I remember it very clearly. ”

"4 days ago?" Gao Cheng looked back at Mr. Naoki.

That's about when Keiko disappeared......

"After that, Miss Keiko just went back?" Gao Cheng continued to ask.

Going home is definitely not going home, the question is where exactly did it go.

"Keiko must be stopping by to visit the old lady Takaya nearby," the old man replied, "as if it was for the sake of selling wheelchairs......

Near the nursing home, Takano House.

Gao Cheng took Utsumi and Mr. Naoki all the way to inquire, and saw that it was an old house with a single courtyard, a brick house with a wooden structure, and two lights at the entrance of the courtyard.

In Japan, earthquakes are common, so it's common to see houses like this.

According to the people around her, the old lady Takano died of a myocardial infarction on the day Keiko disappeared, and now the old lady's nephews live inside.

The nephew's name is Masaaki Takano, and he was quite surprised to see Gao Cheng and a few people at the door.

"I'm sorry, my aunt has passed away," Masaaki Takano stared at Gao Cheng, his face changed slightly, and he looked away and said, "I haven't seen what you said about Miss Keiko, please go back." ”

The man was quite vigilant, and did not dare to face Gao Cheng's gaze again, and turned around and entered the house after turning several people away.

"Something's wrong......"

Gao Cheng exhaled softly.

When most prisoners see his face, as long as they don't know anything about the detective, they will basically have a weak heart, and looking at the man's appearance, even if it has nothing to do with Keiko, I'm afraid there is some ulterior secret in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Utsumi asked, "Is there really something wrong with him?" ”

"On the day of Keiko's disappearance, Old Lady Takano died, it's too much of a coincidence......"

Gao Cheng looked at Mr. Naoki and turned to Utsumimi, "Next, it's best to investigate carefully, Officer Utsumi." ”

"Huh? Me again? Utsumi pointed at himself in a daze.

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Keep an eye on it for a few days first, and by the way, check the situation of Gao Ye Masaaki...... You should be good at these things, right? ”

In the evening, the Utsumi car stops at the intersection next to Takanoya, just in time to have a clear view of Takaya's house.

Gao Cheng sat in the passenger seat and yawned, and said to the staring Utsukai: "I'm a little sleepy, what's the situation to wake me up......?"

"Huh?!" Utsumi wailed, crying and saying with a sad face, "It's me who is sleepy, obviously you asked me to help, why is it like I invited you to come?" ”

Gao Cheng said tiredly: "I wonder if this time it will be two murders, if you solve the case, it will also be a great credit to you, right?" ”

"Two homicides?" Utsumi stopped complaining and looked at Gao Cheng closely, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's hard to say whether the old lady Takano died of natural causes, but if you consider the worst outcome, it may be that Masaaki Takano killed his aunt, and as for Keiko," Gao Cheng looked at the Takano family with the lights on at the door, paused, and continued, "Maybe it's too much thought, but the possibility of being imprisoned or killed is very high." ”

"Did you talk to Mr. Naoki?"

"How do I get it out of my mouth? Maybe Keiko really didn't come, and the death of Old Lady Takano was just a coincidence. ”

"But ......" Utsumi thought of the words of the old people in the nursing home, and his heart was heavy, and he pursed his lips and continued to stare silently.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, there was a sudden movement from Takano's house, and Utsumi was excited, and he saw Masaaki Takano and his wife closing the door and hurriedly walking out, as if they were in a hurry.

"Going out at this time?" Utsumi hurriedly pushed Gao Cheng next to him, "They're out!" ”

"I know, let's see first." Gao Cheng also stared at the couple who were behaving strangely.

"Huh? You didn't sleep? ”

"Nonsense."

Gao Cheng observes Gao Ye and his wife through the street lights.

The door has been closed tightly in broad daylight, but when she went out at this time, she was in a hurry, and the woman seemed to be holding a rosary in her hand, looking scared.

Seeing Gao Ye and his wife passing by the street, Gao Cheng hurriedly got out of the car: "Come and have a look." ”
