Yamamoto Insurance Company. Jiro Yamamoto, who was tired from the day, is ready to go home from work. Suddenly, I noticed that my phone was ringing.

"Hey, who are you!"

"Looks like you've forgotten the warning you gave a few days ago!"

At this time, Jiro Yamamoto suddenly thought of something and was shocked. Roar: "What do you want!" Do you have to kill them all? ”

"No, no, no, as long as you admit your mistakes, you can keep you safe, and I won't trouble you again. Of course, if you refuse to admit your mistakes, I still have a way! ”

"What way, even if I admit my mistake, the chairman of our company will not allow it. It's not like you didn't know what it was like back then. If you are given a claim, then our company will go out of business! ”

"I don't care what your reason is, missing it is missing it anyway. Since you choose the second path, well, you're here..."

At this time, Jiro Yamamoto had no choice but to reply desperately: "Okay, I will follow your request." To the place you specified, it will be done. As long as you let us go. ”

"Good. As long as you sincerely admit your mistakes. I can consider letting you go. Remember to see you at 9 p.m.! ”

At night, room 1002 on the 10th floor of the rice flower apartment.

At this time, Taro Ito put on a black sweatshirt and wanted to go for a walk outside, but Yumi Sato asked, "Sato-kun, where do you want to go?" ”

Taro Ito looked at Yumi Sato, who was worried, and replied soothingly, "Aren't you afraid that someone will be against you?" Don't be afraid! I'm just going for a walk. Half an hour to definitely be back. I don't think the killer would be so daring, would he? After saying that, he hugged Yumi Sato for a while.

Yumi Sato knew that he wanted to go very much, so she had to nod her head, indicating that she was careful on the road. Come back early.

Taro Ito nodded. Said to be back soon.

In the end, Yumi Sato looked at the back of Taro Ito leaving, and closed the door uneasily. Back in the living room to watch TV, waiting for his return.

SL convenience store,

Taro Ito left the store at this convenience store and bought gloves, a mask, and a knife, and went to the road to meet Jiro Yamamoto...

(Unexpectedly, it was just a coincidence that Kogoro Maori, who was buying beer, saw the receipt that Taro Ito threw at the door.) This will likely be conclusive evidence. ）

At that time, Mori Kogoro looked at this back so familiarly, but he couldn't say anything. So he secretly collected his receipts just in case.

Of course, then he also sneaked up to see what he wanted to do...

Rice Flower Children's Park.

At this time, the park is particularly deserted. Jiro Yamamoto, who was wearing a blue down jacket and black glasses, was constantly breathing on his hands, trying to warm them.

After Taro Ito saw Jiro Yamamoto's back, he shouted, "Hey, I'm here." Let's make a break today. ”

Jiro Yamamoto nodded when he saw the man in a black tracksuit and a mask. Say, "Uh-huh." To give. That's what you're asking for. ”

As he spoke, he approached Taro Ito. But he didn't see Taro Ito's terrible smile at all!

"Die!"

Taro Ito suddenly rushed at Jiro Yamamoto and stabbed him in the abdomen. Then he fled the scene in a panic.

"Ugh! I'm in such pain! At this time, Jiro Yamamoto, who was already bleeding profusely, kept moaning in pain.

After Maori Kogoro saw that scene, he wanted to rush out, but when he saw Jiro Yamamoto squatting in pain, he hurriedly said, "You hold on, I'll call you a doctor immediately."

"Hey, is this the Rice Flower Hospital? There's a guy stabbed here, come here! ”

"Hello, this is Rice Flower Hospital. Excuse me, where are you located? ”

"We were right in the middle of the rice flower children's park. There are small slides for kids to play nearby. Come on. ”

"Okay, please wait, we'll be right here."

At this time, Maori Kogoro hurriedly helped up the painful Yamamoto Jiro. "Are you alright, sir?" Can you describe what the murderer looked like? Because I could only see him in a black tracksuit, and..."

At this time, the painful Yamamoto Jiro kept chanting: "15 years ago, retribution came, he won't let us go, his face is the same as his mother..."

At this time, Jiro Yamamoto suddenly fainted. Drove Mori Kogoro crazy.

After 20 minutes, an ambulance arrived at the scene and took Jiro Yamamoto to the hospital.

At the same time, another 10 minutes later, Officer Twilight and the others arrive at the scene and participate in the investigation of the scene.

Kogoro Mori looked at Officer Twilight with a thoughtful look on his face and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Officer Twilight, dressed in a brown suit, replied, "Based on the available clues, we only found the murderer's knife, but since it was inserted into his body, we had to wait until it was removed before we could compare the fingerprints." Also, we found items like the suspect's mask nearby. We'll go back and do a DNA test to find out. ”

When Kogoro Mori wants to ask something, Officer Twilight says that that's all we've found so far. You go and inform their families. I'm going to stay here and continue to investigate the clues.

Kogoro Mori had no choice but to leave the scene and call Ms. Yumi Sato.

"Ding Ding Ding..."

"I'm Yumi Sato, please speak!"

"Hello, I'm Kogoro Mori. Do you know? Jiro Yamamoto was killed! ”

Yumi Sato was suddenly frightened. At this time, Taro Ito returned home and saw a panicked Yumi Sato. Ask: "What's the matter, why are you so alarmed!" ”

Yumi Sato took the phone and said, "General Manager Jiro Yamamoto was assassinated. ”

Taro Ito pretended to be surprised and said, "What? Where did he get into trouble! ”

"Hey, did you listen to me! Jiro Yamamoto is still in the rice flower hospital and is rescuing, you guys hurry up and take a look! ”

Yumi Sato hurriedly replied to Mori Kogoro: "Okay, okay, let's go to the hospital immediately." ”

Eventually, they drove to Rice Flower Hospital...

After 20 minutes, they rushed to the rice flower hospital. At the same time, they saw Mori Kogoro and Officer Takagi.

Yumi Sato asked in a panic: "Our general manager is not in danger of life." ”

Maori Kogoro said comfortingly: "So far, because of the timely treatment, my life has been saved." However, due to excessive blood loss, it is necessary to observe for a few more days. He needs to recuperate these days. ”

At this time, Izunichiro Yamamoto, who looked tired, also rushed to the hospital. (It was Yumi Sato who told him.) ）

Izunichiro Yamamoto asked nervously: "Detective Maori, Jiro Yamamoto, he's okay." ”

Maori Kogoro looked at the old Izuntaro Yamamoto and said comfortingly: "It's okay, it's stable now, and the rest depends on the will of God." By the way, I want to ask you one thing, you have to tell the truth. ”

Izunichiro Yamamoto nodded hurriedly and asked, "What's the matter, please tell me." ”

Kogoro Mori asked Izuichiro Yamamoto to sit on a chair in the hallway and asked, "What happened 15 years ago?" Why would people trouble you in 15 years? ”

Izunichiro Yamamoto knew that if he wasn't telling the truth, Kogoro Mori wouldn't help them. So I talked about the situation of the year.

"At that time, he knew that he was not in good health, but he lied to us that everything was fine. At that time, we were not like now, we could have the financial resources to do a free medical examination for everyone who had a critical illness insurance. In this way, he paid the insurance safely for 3 years. But one day, his condition deteriorated due to an accident and he needed to be compensated. At that time, we at Yamamoto Insurance Company had to compensate a lot of people. If we do that, then our insurance company will apply for bankruptcy! ”

Mori Kogoro replied, "So, you have already used your illness as an excuse to refuse their claims?" ”

Izunichiro Yamamoto nodded and said, "Yes, if we have enough financial resources, I will definitely give them enough compensation." But..."

Kogoro Mori continued his words and said, "But if you do that, then the company is in danger of going bankrupt." So you have to choose someone who has no excuse to refuse compensation and pay first. Isn't that so. ”

Izunichiro Yamamoto nodded. Then the atmosphere went silent...
