"Suicide?"

When Tsuru finished dissecting the corpse in the tenth night, Kokoba finally came to a conclusion. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the unknown scarlet leaves and the white face of the fifty miles of the moon looked at each other. Suicide? What exactly is the benefit of suicide for this guy?

"It's just a play on words," Kokoba sighed, "There's no prohibition on 'killing yourself' in the rules. This is also a murder with whiskey, and life is not important to the gods this time. It seems that he took out the whiskey in the house and swallowed it himself with whiskey mixed with poison to commit suicide, he didn't have anything to do with whiskey around him, but he still had whiskey in his stomach. The scars all over the body look very oozing, but just pay a little attention to the direction of the bloodstains... It was clear that the blood had only been splattered after he had been lying on the ground. ”

"You mean someone destroyed the other evidence?" Crane Shiye frowned slightly, "Or maybe there is an accomplice who agrees with him that if he succeeds, he will be designated as the next 'prisoner'." ”

When a specific person is designated as a prisoner, everyone will start to be suspicious. Except for the designated person, no one else can kill, almost like a lamb to the slaughter, not knowing who will be the next prisoner, nor who will do it against him, only whether he is a prisoner or not. It's a really good deal for the team. But the question is whether it will succeed...

“... This killing, we will not say anything. Kokoba said to the crane ten nights.

"That's what I thought too." Tsuru Shiye nodded knowingly.

Fifty miles of Yuebai on the side didn't understand it, she looked at the two of them in amazement, and said in disbelief:

"Why? Isn't the truth basically understood? ”

"What do you think is the toughest thing to deal with?" Kokoba stood up, "An unknown killer hiding in the shadows, of course. Muenkaz has an accomplice who can choose not to act, lurk around us, and scout the members of us who have the ability to 'solve crimes' and attack them. If it were me, I would do it. Conversely, if we let Muenkaz's 'suicide disguise' succeed and that accomplice is chosen as the next prisoner, then he will have to do it. ”

This is one of those possibilities. The best thing to do is to be completely silent and not say a word, after all, everyone here understands that the 'companion' is definitely something that cannot be trusted, and only one's own wisdom and strength can be trusted.

"On the other hand, it's worse. This guy—" Kokoba kicked the corpse in anger, an action that made Tsuru Juya frown, "If it were me, I wouldn't have chosen my accomplice as the next prisoner." As I said, this would expose one's own accomplices early. Choose any one of them, and then the accomplices try their best to ensure their own safety, and then look for opportunities in the game to see through the other people's killing methods, and then kill by themselves... The target, as I said earlier, is someone who has the ability to 'solve crimes'. ”

"I have to say, this guy is very smart. He chose the best time to commit his first crime when there were accomplices, and we cannot be sure whether he would have chosen his accomplices as prisoners. On the other hand, his behavior is also like a 'threat'. It's ridiculous to say, 'At least one of the next people is my accomplice,' and to use such a technique in a kind of god, but unfortunately, none of us here can be trusted, so his methods will work to some extent, and..."

Kokoba pulled out a piece of paper, which had been taken out of the pocket of Muenkaz's jacket, the card of his abilities at that time, and on the back of the blank was a ballpoint pen with some words written on it.

"'When I succeed, everything will fall into place'. Is it really stupid, could it be that anyone still believes the words of a dead man? ”

"What does that mean?" Scarlet glanced at the card and asked puzzled.

"That is, if we don't say a word, this guy will designate his accomplices as prisoners. Doubts will clear up when the facts are known... Actually, we don't have any means to confirm the truth of his words, or even whether he really has an accomplice. Or are these things just put in by another person for his own actions? ”

It took a lot of time for Kokoba to find Muenkaz's body, and the small island looked small on the shore, but it was actually unacceptably large. The complex environment makes it difficult to identify the direction, and the harsh environment of the rainforest makes it difficult to find a corpse even with the 'blood smell' of the heart leaf. It took them about half an hour to get here before, and half an hour to do some simple cover-up was more than enough.

The course of action has been decided, and the next thing is to wait. The reason why Kokonoha told these things to the people next to him was... Make yourself the target of the next murderer. If Tsuru Shiye becomes a murderer, there is no doubt that the first target will definitely make himself, and vice versa, and the other two, I don't know where to run out of the scarlet leaf and fifty miles...

Fifty miles of moon white... Scriptwriter... She yawned, only to remember that the blood of herself and the others had been weakened. Other words... They still have to sleep.

"Then, let's find the house and rest first, and this guy's body will be placed here." Kokoba said casually.

――――

"Master, she's here."

The respectful servants and the old tatami mats, which seem to be isolated from the countryside, are the last sights that Yukimura can enjoy now. He looked down at the teacup, which seemed to stand up in the light brown one. But how? For him, who is already old, he really can't see it thoroughly.

"Fifty miles... It's been almost 20 years since we last met," Yukimura raised his head and looked at the girl who was sitting not far from him, doubts and vigilance appeared in the eyes of the old man, he sighed deeply and said, "You... It doesn't look like anything has changed from that year, and if you look at your appearance, you might think you're just a child."

As Yukimura said, a petite girl in a yukata and with a haircut in the style of Hime, looked at this person who should be her elder with a blank face, but there was no respect for her elders at all:

"It's you who called me, Yukimura, I don't want to be wasted by a man who left his company and children behind and waited alone in the countryside to die, after all, I don't have much time for myself."

"It's still the same as before," Yukimura took a sip of barley tea, then turned his gaze to the motionless figure standing beside the girl, "Who is this?" I don't remember inviting any guests other than you."

"As you think, I'm just like you," Fiftyri stared at Yukimura's wrinkled face, "Geriatrics... It's something that shouldn't be on my body at all, I didn't care about my body in the early years, and now it's like this. So... I also need someone to take care of me."

"Really?"

Yukimura was noncommittal to Fiftyri's answer.

"Get down to business."

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a doll.,The girl who was sitting opposite Yukimura.,It seems to be a little dissatisfied.。

「... You're probably not an ordinary person." Yukimura wiped the water stains along the edge of the teacup, stared at the teacup, and said without raising his head.

"It doesn't matter," Fifty Miles remained motionless, "so what? Isn't it?"

"Sure enough, you still hate me, right?" Yukimura put down his teacup with a somewhat lost expression, "That's why I called you. Twenty years ago, your mother was suffering from leukemia and needed high medical bills to treat it, but when your father was dead, you didn't have the means to do it alone..."

"And then, as my father's best friend, refused my request for a loan on the grounds that my mother was Chinese," Igri interrupted Yukimura very impatiently, "and then perhaps because your own conscience found out, you came to Tokyo half a year later and brought money... But it was too late, and my mother was already dead before that. That's why I'm going to hate you for that... That's what you think yourself?"

Interrupted by Fifty Miles, Yukimura's second half of the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't face the petite girl's questioning, and he turned his head and breathed a little heavily.

"If it were me 20 years ago, I might think that you did something wrong," Fifty Li's words were impersonal, "but you are not obligated to help me, who is only the daughter of a close friend, you can rest assured, I will not pay attention to such boring things now, and I will not care about boring people." You're dying, and so am I. If you have any remorse, go to the grave and in the church, I don't have the energy to listen to your confession."

Yukimura sighed, "Even if your appearance hasn't changed, you're no longer the same person you used to be..."

"I think anyone who has experienced something like this can change, and I'm just one of them."

The girl's cold words made the temperature of the room begin to lower as well, and she looked directly at Yukimura without shying away, and that look was certainly not resentment, but real indifference.

「... So, let me get down to business," Yukimura shook his head, "I'm going to give you all my company, and all my possessions, including here. It's only going to have your name on it."

"I don't need money, I don't need land, you don't have what I want, just like 20 years ago, you won't give me anything, I won't get anything. If I could, I'd have never known you at all, in that case..."

The girl was silent, unable to say what was next, and she watched as the elderly and frail Yukimura stood up tremblingly with a teacup in his hand.

"I know you don't need anything, and I know that you don't need any money, and I don't care what we mortals think, I'm your father's best friend... I'm well aware ... What kind of people will their children be."

Yukimura walked to Fifty Miles, his palms were full of calluses from time wear, and he wanted to reach out and touch Fifty Miles, but when he was about to touch them, he stopped.

"Believe it or not, I didn't receive your letter at the time," Yukimura withdrew his hand, leaned on crutches, and stepped aside to keep himself from facing Fifty Li, "It was only half a year later that I found out about that letter... At that time, the company was still small and at a critical juncture, so I didn't let me know about it... My son has hidden your letter without permission. In this regard... I don't have any way to apologize, and all I have now is this company."

"To you, this money is nothing, but for me, it's the only atonement I can do."

Yukimura lowered his head, then turned around sharply and fell to his knees with a flutter.

"Please take it."

"Yukimura," Fiftyri was still sitting, "don't say such childish things, do you know how many people will lose their jobs if your company goes out of business?" How many people will be displaced? In your company, there are old friends who have worked with you since you started your business, right? This is your responsibility, and you must bear it until you die."

Help him up, the girl said to the man beside her.

"I'm not up!" Yukimura knelt in front of her, suffocating the old man's remaining strength, "This is my last atonement! I'm old, and it's likely that tomorrow... Even die in the next moment! This is the only regret and pain in my life! If I carry this iniquity into the grave, my soul will not be at ease."

"I said, I don't need money, I don't need land, you don't have what I want, just like 20 years ago, you won't give me anything, I won't get anything. I wish I hadn't known you at all—" Fifty Li sighed, and then said, "In that case, you wouldn't have to bear any sins."

"This pain is what I inflict on you!" Yukimura's desperate shout, as if it was his aging body, roared out along with the last regret of being in this body, "So I want to do something! I'm old... That's the last thing I can do!"

In the face of the crying old man, the girl did not move at all, she closed her eyes and pressed her hand on her chest.

"You can't start all over again, whether it's family, friends, lovers, no matter how important people are... That's why people are looking for bonds with others," Fifty Li shook his head, "That's why I agreed to come here and meet you." I will not accept your apology, nor will I accept that you have abandoned other people who are related to you. Your sins are not against me, but against my mother, who is dead. If you feel guilty... Go to the grave and tell it."

The girl opened her eyes and smiled at Yukimura.

"You're seventy years old, and if you take care of it properly, you still have decades to spend with your family instead of asking for my forgiveness. If you really want to be forgiven... Soon it will be my mother's death day."

After speaking, the girl motioned to the attendants around her to help her up.

"Goodbye, goodbye at the crossroads of cause and effect."
