Ritsu Sasashima lifted her sports satchel and walked towards the scene of the crime, and saw Yuna Hayasaka, who was standing there waiting for her.

Yuna Hayasaka looked at the sports satchel in his hand suspiciously, and wondered, "What is this?" ”

"Tatsuya Nagai's tool for crime tonight."

"Huh?"

Yuna Hayasaka couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she didn't react to the meaning of this sentence at first, and after thinking about it carefully, she was surprised: "You mean, Tatsuya Nagai is also going to attack Minoru Nishitani tonight?" ”

"Well, it's full of tools for handling cases."

"Where did you find that?"

Ritsu Sasashima took out the last cigarette in the cigarette case and held it in his mouth without lighting it, explaining, "Do you remember the green paint on the shoulders of the corpses? I found it under a freshly painted street lamp. ”

It's really a careful and responsible guy, Yuna Hayasaka pursed her lips, she really didn't take the paint to heart, she just thought that the paint was accidentally rubbed by the victim.

"What about you? Did I ask you questions and get answers? ”

"Hmm. Minoru Nishitani was very surprised when she saw the album, saying that she didn't know that she was secretly photographed, and it could be seen from her expression that she was not lying, and she really didn't know. ”

Yuna Hayasaka was a little annoyed when she thought of Nishitani being stalked by a perverted stalker, which was also a woman's disgust with this kind of people, and she frowned, "And Miss Nishiya used to live in Yokohama and worked in a Western-style confectionery shop there, so that she could open her own Western-style confectionery shop in the future." ”

He worked hard for his dream, but his life was disrupted by an unexpected stalker, and he even left his hometown to live in Tokyo.

I gave up my favorite Western-style confectionery job and chose to work at a family restaurant with night shifts to avoid Nagai's tracking. After all, when a girl walks alone at night and knows that there is a stalker behind her, she will inevitably panic.

But even so, she worked so hard... Still not getting rid of the nightmare, the nightmare named "Nagai" still exists, eating away at her already fragile nerves little by little.

"So, Tatsuya Nagai also lived in Yokohama before, and in order to continue to satisfy his desire to stalk and twisted love, he followed Miss Nishitani to live in Tokyo?"

"That's right, I just called and asked Miho Nagai, and she said that she did live in Yokohama before, and this has been confirmed."

After Yuna Hayasaka said this, she couldn't help but sigh, if she encountered this kind of thing, she would also collapse, no wonder Miss Nishitani looked in a very bad mental state, and even a little sickly haggard as a whole.

"That's, Onizawa."

It was the first time she had called her by her last name, and Ritsu Sasashima raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I want to hire a lawyer to help Miss Nishitani fight the lawsuit, and I can basically confirm that the murderer is her, and it is only a matter of time before I find key evidence to convict her, but she is overly self-defending... It should be given a light sentence. ”

Yuna Hayasaka was very hesitant, she was a police officer after all, and she shouldn't have the psychology of pity for criminals, but this incident made her unable to help but feel sympathy, and even understand her impulsive crime.

So she wants to help Nishitani, at least let her spend less time in prison, and when she comes out, she still has the energy to chase her dream and open her own Western-style dim sum shop.

"The police pay attention to evidence, and there should be a lot of enemies for people like Mr. Nagai, not necessarily the crimes committed by Miss Nishitani. I can't find any more clues at the moment, so let's end the team today. ”

"Is it really possible that the prisoner is not Miss Nishitani?"

"Well, there may be someone else, don't talk about this, think about what to eat at noon."

Even though he knew that Minoru Nishitani was the murderer of Tatsuya Nagai, Ritsu Sasashima still chose to hide it.

The word justice has a different way of reading for everyone, and he just doesn't want Miss Nishitani, who has finally ignited the flame of hope in life, to be once again extinguished by a basin of cold water from the law.

"Do you want to vent when you're in a bad mood? How about going for Antarctic ramen? ”

Ritsu Sasashima glared at Hazuki and said dissatisfiedly: "It's venting for you, and it's torture for me." ”

He deliberately took out his phone and looked at the screen, and pressed the answer button in a panic after seeing the caller ID that didn't exist at all. Ritsu Sasashima changed his usual unreliable appearance of Akizawa Chong, and said softly, "Why did you call me suddenly?" ”

"You're resting? Well, okay, I know I'll be right away. ”

Hanging up the phone, Ritsu Sasashima looked at Yuna Hayasaka slightly apologetically, and said nonsense: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you have to eat alone, my girlfriend is resting and asking me to go to lunch, then I'll go first!" ”

“？”

Looking at the back of Takashi Onizawa running away in a hurry, Yuna Hayasaka was a little confused, and she muttered in a low voice, "When did this guy have a girlfriend?" Wait, this kind of person can also have a girlfriend? ”

The world has really changed, she shook her head, it seems that she has to go to eat Antarctic ramen to relieve her mood.

.

There is less than half an hour left until 11 a.m.

Ritsu Sasashima didn't go to meet his girlfriend who didn't exist, he went to the apartment building of the victim Mr. Nagai again, walked to the door of room 205 with heavy steps, took a deep breath, straightened his black blazer, and rang the doorbell.

There was a sound of footsteps in the house, and the security door was opened, and Miho Nagai, who was standing in the house, was a little surprised, and when she saw the young and handsome police officer, she asked, "Mr. police department?" Did you forget something here? ”

There was still hope in her eyes, and she might want to ask more than the sentence she asked: Did you find the murderer of Tatsuya?

"No, Ms. Nagai, I have something I want to talk to you about, is it convenient for you now?"

"It's convenient, Mr. Police, please come in."

Came to the sofa in the living room and sat down, this time still refusing Miho Nagai's hospitality. Ritsu Sasashima didn't want to stay here for too long, so he got straight to the point and said, "Miho-sama, do you know that Tatsuya Nagai has been following a girl?" ”

Miho Nagai couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she was silent for a long time and nodded, and replied in a voice as small as a mosquito: "... I know that the police have found me before, and I have also educated Tatsuya this child. ”

Obviously, she felt that this matter was very embarrassing, and her son was actually a stalker who was spurned by others.

"There's one thing I've been hesitant to tell you, but I feel compelled to tell the truth."

Ritsu Sasashima took out his mobile phone and adjusted it to the album, which contained several photos he took, and he said slowly, "Your son plans to kill Miss Nishitani who he has been following tonight, if this doesn't happen, he will become a murderer." ”

“！”

Miho Nagai obviously didn't expect this kind of thing, her face suddenly turned pale, her weather-beaten hands trembling as she held her phone, looking at the photos on it that proved the truth, her cloudy eyes slowly closed, tears wetting her wrinkled cheeks.

When he opened it again, Ritsu Sasashima found that the anticipation in his eyes was gone-

She knew that it was her excessive doting that led her son to a point of no return.

Miho Nagai was silent for a long time, and when she spoke again, she said something that surprised Ritsu Sasashima.

"Mr. Police, can I apply to have my son's body cremated today? I don't want to find out who killed my son, I just want to bury him as soon as possible. ”

“……”

Ritsu Sasashima smiled bitterly: "Even if there is no original accuser in the murder case, we, as the police, will investigate the criminal responsibility of the criminals." ”

"That's right. Sorry, I don't know much about the law. ”

"It's fine."

Ritsu Sasashima knew very well that this case would become an unsolved case. He stood up and bowed slightly, and said, "I will apply to the top management to collect the body in advance, Ms. Nagai, and I will retire first." ”

"Thank you, you are such a good cop with a responsibility."

Good cops? How can you be a good policeman who helps the prisoners?

He smiled helplessly and didn't answer, and when he walked to the door, he silently took out a cowhide envelope, and put the envelope on the shoe cabinet in the entrance while Miho Nagai was sitting on the sofa.

Inside is a little bit of his heart, and he also hopes that Miho Nagai can be like Miss Nishitani - can start his life again.
