Chapter 51: The Sacrifice of Fire

"Mr. Maori! Did you find out where he lived!? "Well, we already know where Kitagawa lives now, but can I still invite you to come here?"

"Can't you tell me right now from the phone?" Her voice suddenly became a little louder, obviously very excited, Kogoro could understand her mood very well, but the more she did this, the more she couldn't tell her immediately.

"It's a bit of a hassle, so why don't you give it a trip!" "Alright then!" Noriko Okayani replied helplessly, but immediately rushed to the office.

About twenty minutes later, Noriko Okayani ran to the door of the office out of breath. "Mr. Maori! Where the hell does he live now!? ”

Seeing that she hadn't waited for her to breathe as soon as she entered the door, she hurriedly asked. Kogoro's brows furrowed tightly, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to convince the other party this time.

"Miss Okaya, sit down first, let's talk about the car accident more than three months ago." Hearing what Kogoro said, Noriko Okayani was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Kogoro to know about that matter.

Her lips moved slightly, but she tried to say something, but she forced herself to endure it. Looking at Noriko Okayani, who was tense and sitting opposite him, staring straight at him, Kogoro's heart sank, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Just as Kogoro was thinking, Conan, who was beside him, spoke. "Sister Noriko, are you planning to find Kitagawa Qiangshi and take revenge!"

Looking at Noriko Okaya, whose face suddenly changed, Conan continued before she could speak: "More than three months ago, you came back from Shinshu in Brother Yamaguchi's car, but on the way, you met Kitagawa Takashi who was driving his girlfriend. ”

"Because of Kitagawa Qiangshi's provocation, Brother Yamaguchi drove after him in anger, so he had an unfortunate car accident under negligence."

Listening to Conan's words, Noriko Okaya's head gradually lowered, tears couldn't help but flow from her eyes, and her body trembled slightly, and it was difficult to calm her mood.

The sad atmosphere gradually dissipated, making several people present feel a sense of heaviness. Although it was an accident caused by negligence, she still couldn't help but hate Kitagawa Qiangshi and his girlfriend.

If they hadn't met him that day, if they hadn't provoked Da Nan, if Da Nan hadn't driven after him angrily, if she could have persuaded Da Nan more, if Da Nan hadn't been negligent, and it was Danan who escaped at that time, maybe everything would have been different!

For more than three months, she has been tormented by pain. I think about those possibilities all the time, and I think all the time about how to get revenge on the person who caused everything to happen.

Xiaolan couldn't bear to walk to Noriko Okaya's side, and when she learned everything, she couldn't help but feel sad about what happened to the two.

"Miss Okaya! You love Mr. Yamaguchi so much, don't you? He loves you too! Raising her head slightly, Noriko Okaya looked at the young girl in front of her.

"He, he pushed me out of the car that was about to catch fire. And then, and then he died in there, if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't, he wouldn't~"

Seeing Noriko Okayani, who was crying even more sadly, Xiaolan's face was also a little unbearable. "Mr. Yamaguchi, but he sent Miss Okaya out with his life, he wants you to live well!"

"However, now Miss Okaya, you are thinking about revenge, and if you kill them, you will not escape the responsibility of the law. Then you will waste Mr. Yamaguchi's hard work on dying with that kind of person. ”

"Do you think it's really worth it? Is that what Mr. Yamaguchi was looking forward to? Would he be happy if he knew you did it? No, it won't! Mr. Yamaguchi, who loves Miss Okaya, won't want you to do that! ”

After hearing Xiaolan's words, Noriko Okayani suddenly became excited. "Tatsuo! Tatsuo! She clutched her hands over her face, tears welling up.

After more than ten minutes, under Xiaolan's persuasion, Noriko Okayani slowly calmed down.

Then, after she thanked the three of Kogoro, she showed that she had given up on revenge, and she wanted to take Tatsuo Yamaguchi's share to live well and see more things.

After that, the three of them sent Noriko Okayani out, and no one can know her future, everything will be decided by him, and no one can stop or change anything.

But her affair is over, but Kogoro doesn't intend to let it end. He had a large amount of evidence collected and successfully sent Kitagawa to prison.

In this way, he will not be able to get out in a few years, and even his girlfriend will be implicated and will need to eat for several months in prison.

The days gradually calmed down again, until Kogoro received a commission to stalk others. The target is called Masaki Negishi, who is forty-two years old.

Although he didn't refuse to accept this kind of case, he wouldn't be willing to spend a lot of time tracking down or something, so he handed it over directly to his detectives.

Three days passed in a flash, and during this time, Negishi Masaki's activity trajectory was very normal, and there was no problem with it, but Kogoro still handed over the investigation report to the client.

However, on the night of the end of the investigation, Kogoro and the three of them watched the news while having dinner at home. At first, it was normal, but the next news surprised Kogoro.

At 8 o'clock this evening, during the bonfire festival in Kogi Village, Gunma Prefecture, a young woman found a body in a firewood pile, and the festival ended, and the raging fire was quickly extinguished with the help of local residents.

However, due to the fact that it was the scene of the festival, there were many people who knew about it, and the rapid media coverage made the influence of the event infinitely magnified.

The police who arrived later, although they also confirmed his identity information through the documents he carried with him, but that was all, and there were still doubts about whether he committed suicide or suicide.

Because of this, the police had no choice but to conduct a thorough investigation into Negishi's activities in the past few days. In the end, Kogoro was found, and the next day he got a call from Officer Twilight, informing him to go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible.

In an interrogation room, there were five people sitting in Kogoro, Conan, and Officer Twilight, as well as two other police officers, and they began to question Negishi Masaki about it.

"In other words, you were commissioned by someone to conduct a follow-up investigation of Masaki Negishi!" "Yes, that's it!" "What about the identity of the principal? Do you know? ”

Kogoro shook his head slightly: "I don't know, Officer Twilight, you should also know that in the profession of detective, if the client doesn't say it, we won't delve into anything." ”
