The thing that Xicheng style asked Ryoko Okano to do was very simple.

That is to ask Ryoko Okano to investigate whether Sayuri Nozawa has ever bought sleeping pills or has a history of needing to buy sleeping pills.

And the Xicheng style also got the answer -

Sayuri Nozawa did buy sleeping pills.

It seems that she has a relative who works in the hospital.

And it wasn't too hard to ask her relative to get sleeping pills.

"Xicheng officer, please use tea."

A soft, gentle call interrupted Xicheng's thinking.

He raised his head and looked at Sayuri Nozawa, who was pale and slender in front of him.

"Is there a new development in the investigation? West Side Police Officer? ”

Sayuri Nozawa asked with a smile.

"There has indeed been some progress, and the identity of the prisoner has basically been confirmed."

Nishijo nodded, then looked up at Sayuri Nozawa.

"Really?"

After getting the news, Sayuri Nozawa was like a child, with a look of surprise and curiosity on her face.

"Nozawa-san, you seem to be happy?"

Nishigi looked at Sayuri like this and asked a question.

"Of course! Only by catching the prisoner can he comfort the dead Shibasaki-kun. ”

Sayuri Nozawa had an extraordinarily serious expression.

She said it word by word.

Yes. Catch the prisoner who killed Shibasakino... That's exactly what she's always believed.

As long as the prisoner is caught, Shibasaki No, who died tragically... I'm sure I'll be very happy too.

Looking at her sincere expression without the slightest lie, Xicheng couldn't help but let out a breath of white air.

In this cold winter day.

Sayuri Nozawa's sincere expression, as if carrying heat, can warm the body of others.

But—

"It's Ms. Nozawa who killed Mr. Shibasaki."

Xicheng-style said in an extraordinarily calm tone.

"Well, in this way, I will be caught by the West City police."

Sayuri Nozawa did not resist the whole time.

She just smiled and nodded, and generously acknowledged.

It's as if the sinner who goes to prison next and is judged is not her but someone else.

"I called my colleagues before I came, and they'll be coming to arrest you soon, Ms. Nozawa."

Nishijo didn't care about Sayuri Nozawa's performance, he just said it as a routine.

"Well, I know, there's no way around it. After all, I killed someone. I'll be honest with everything. ”

Sayuri Nozawa smiled calmly.

"In that case... Then I'll take my leave. ”

Nishijo straightened his clothes and propped himself up from the couch.

"Huh? Don't stay and spy on me? I'm a murderer, West Side officer. ”

Sayuri Nozawa has a strange look on her face.

Seeing that Xicheng Shi was really leaving, she stopped him in some incomprehension.

"There's no need for that." Xicheng waved his hand indifferently: "Even if you want to run, you can't run away." ”

The Japanese police have not yet been able to catch the prisoner after knowing his name and address.

Besides—

"You've been planning to turn yourself in for a long time, right? Miss Nozawa. ”

Nishijo-style looked at Sayuri Nozawa.

The other party did not make a lot of noise like a normal criminal, but just sat quietly in a chair.

"Did you find out? West Side Constable. ”

Sayuri Nozawa rubbed her temples, then took out a small wooden box from a drawer on the side.

Xicheng Shi did not reply to her.

All he did was stand by and look at Sayuri Nozawa.

Under the gaze of Nishijo, Sayuri Nozawa's slender white fingers caressed the small wooden box, and there was a sentimental expression of remembrance in his eyes:

"Will you listen to me before I go to jail? Mr. Nishijo, this is my last wish. ”

In this regard, the choice of Xicheng style is also very simple:

"I don't listen."

Nishijo-style is too lazy to care about Sayuri Nozawa's hardships.

Now that the other party has pleaded guilty, just wait for the police to catch her.

In the end, he and Sayuri Nozawa only met twice.

"Mr. Nishijo... You're not a good police officer. ”

Sayuri Nozawa sighed, she didn't care if Nishigi was listening or not, and said in a distant tone:

"This wooden box contains love letters written to me by Shibasaki-kun in college. That person seems to be particularly fond of letters as a way of expressing emotions in his heart. So I treasured every letter. ”

"But you killed him."

Xicheng interjected.

"Yes. I killed him... I lived with him for a while at the Kaneki apartment, so I knew when that apartment was going to need to be renovated. ”

I don't know if it's a Xicheng-style delusion, when he says, 'I'll kill him'.

He seemed to see Sayuri Nozawa with a very sad expression.

But that was only for a moment.

"With the backup key I got from him, I easily entered his home, and since I was already an acquaintance of Shibasaki-kun, there was no problem in inducing him to drink sleeping pills with Miss Yamaguchi."

Yes, the door lock was not broken.

And the reason why Shibasakino and Yamaguchi Yumi's bodies barely struggled is here.

The relationship between Sayuri Nozawa and Shibasakino is all too familiar.

It is estimated that even Shibasakino did not expect that Sayuri Nozawa would attack him and Yumi Yamaguchi.

"And then there's suicide disguised as gas... To be honest, things went well to my surprise. ”

Sayuri Nozawa looked at Nishigi and said word by word:

"I started planning this plan after Shibasaki-kun abandoned me. Because I can't accept him associating with other people anyway. ”

Her voice was visibly trembling, but it couldn't tickle the slightest sympathy from Xicheng.

He said coldly:

"But you quickly regret it. Because you only find out later that Shibasakino doesn't want to betray you, but that he has cancer. He doesn't want to drag you down because of cancer. ”

Shibasakino has been hiding his illness from Sayuri Nozawa and is trying his best to create the image of a scumbag.

He hoped that Sayuri Nozawa would choose to give up when he saw him like this.

But he didn't know the saying 'love is deep, hate is deep'.

Sayuri Nozawa did not respond to Nishijo-style.

She just lowered her head, biting her lower lip tightly, tears streaming down the table.

Human feelings are always complex and delicate.

I will be resentful because of some small things.

will also cheer for some small things, and really feel moved by a person.

"After killing Shibasakino, you learned about his illness after the excitement subsided, and you quickly understood Shibasakino's sincerity, and your heart fell into incomparable repentance and self-blame."

"But you don't want to turn yourself in."

Nishigi-shiki stared at Sayuri Nozawa.

"Yes." Sayuri Nozawa's eyes were full of tears, her voice trembled, and her expression was regret and sadness: "I'm afraid... Even if you know you've made an irreparable mistake... I can't turn myself in. ”

Why did Sayuri Nozawa call the police?

Why is it getting the attention of the West Side?

But why not just turn yourself in?

All this is due to the complex psychology of wanting to surrender herself on the one hand, but on the other hand, she is afraid and struggling in her heart and does not dare to surrender.

"I—I'm sorry Shibasaki-kun. I'm sorry for him. ”

She burst into tears.

In his hand, he clutched tightly the small wooden box full of love letters—

Inside...

Full of memories of her and the deceased Shibasakino.
