"I see."

When Gao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and then asked:

"In other words, when you came to the show, Mr. Sakano went to the dressing room to change his clothes?"

"It should ...... yes......"

Lowering her head, Usami Chiyo replied with some uncertainty.

"Where's the locker room?"

After thinking for a while, Gao Yuan suddenly asked.

"It's the ...... next door."

Usami Chiyo pointed to the room next to the lounge, and couldn't help but say:

"We were in the dressing room and were arranged there...... And there are no other singers' lounges nearby, so that room is only us. ”

"Okay, I got it."

As he spoke, Takato walked to the door of the room, and tried to turn the doorknob with his gloved hand, and found that the door could be opened directly, so he pushed the crack of the door a little, and looked in—

It was a room about the size of the lounge next door.

There is a row of cabinets on the wall near the entrance, and on the innermost wall, there is a large mirror.

"Do you have your luggage in the locker here?"

Since he didn't see anything in the lounge, and he didn't see the suit that Shinji Sakano had said he had changed into, Takato couldn't help but point to the row of cabinets with locks on each cabinet door and asked.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Usami Chiyo nodded.

In this regard, Takato thought for a while, closed the door again, and said to Usami Chiyo:

"Okay, I'll ask here first, you go and call Miss Izumo over."

Hearing this, Usami Chiyo nodded, and was about to turn around and walk back to the lounge, but suddenly remembered that the handkerchief that Takato handed to him just now was still in his hand, so he reached out and handed the handkerchief to Takato.

In this regard, Gao Yuan waved his hand:

"You can use it, it's new anyway, and I haven't used it."

Hearing this, Usami Chiyo hesitated for a moment, but still clenched the handkerchief, bowed to Takato, thanked him, and walked towards the lounge, calling out Yukino Izumo.

And Izumo Yukino came to the corridor, when he faced Takato, before Takato could ask, Izumo Yukino bowed to Takato first, a little apprehensive, but said very respectfully:

"Mr. Detective! Thank you so much......"

"You don't have to think about me to thank you just yet."

Gao Yuan couldn't help but interrupt:

"Without the intervention of the police, my investigation is very slow, and I will definitely have to call the police after an hour, so if you want to keep your secret, just tell me everything you know!"

There is no one else's existence, and when facing Izumo Yukino at this moment, Takato said bluntly.

Hearing this, Izumo Yukino's eyes widened, looked at Takato in disbelief, and said in surprise with some nervousness:

"Mr. Detective...... You ......"

"I don't know what your secret is."

In the face of Izumo Yukino's attitude, Takato explained:

"It's just that if you contact the police before solving the case, the suspects who are present will be carefully investigated by the police. And if you contact the police after solving the case, then the police should not conduct too detailed investigations into people other than the murderer...... I'm just guessing like this. ”

Hearing this, Izumo Yukino couldn't help but bow his head and was silent for a while.

Then, Gao Yuan continued:

"By the way, I had a case two days ago, and the name of the deceased at the time was also 'Izumo Yukino'...... But after investigation, the police found that this was actually a fake identity, and the identity of the deceased 'Yukino Izumo' came from a girl who committed suicide last year...... I wonder if it's a coincidence? ”

As he spoke, Takato looked at the girl named Yukino Izumo in front of him, wanting to see her reaction.

As a result, Izumo Yukino lowered his head, his hands hung in front of him, and he grabbed the skirt of the singing costume tightly, as if he was struggling very much, but in the end he wanted to stop talking.

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but say:

"Although I don't think you are the murderer, there are some things that you don't make clear now, and I can't help you when the police come......"

"Just as Mr. Detective guessed......"

Before Takato finished speaking, Izumo Yukino struggled, but still said loudly:

"Yukino Izumo...... It was one of my ...... who committed suicide last year. Best Friend Names...... I used this identity to participate in this group just to fulfill her last wish......"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan's expression was a little clear, but soon, Gao Yuan felt a little helpless-

Although there is a reasonable explanation for the coincidence of the same name and surname, it is even more unbelievable that the two people I met one after another used the identity of the same deceased person to carry out activities......

The document of the "Izumo Yukino" of Mizutani Yukino comes from a girl who committed suicide last year. And the "Izumo Yukino" in front of her is also her friend who committed suicide last year......

From this point of view, their identity as "Izumo Yukino" should come from the same deceased person.

Thinking like this, "Izumo Yukino" lowered his head, pondered for a long time, and continued to add:

"On that day, I was very grateful to Mr. Detective for helping me get out of the mall...... At that time, the people who followed me and Shion were not fanatical fans, but people sent by my family to find me......"

Saying that, "Izumo Yukino" hurriedly said:

"Mr. Detective! Can you please not tell Shion and Chiyo about this...... I really want to be a real idol with them...... But ......"

Speaking of which, "Izumo Yukino" was a little depressed:

"Originally, Mr. Agent already knew the secret, but he promised to help me keep it a secret, and he would also help me find a way to get rid of the people who came to me, but now ......"

"How did Mr. Sakano know about this?"

Gao Yuan asked with some confusion.

"I don't know."

"Izumo Yukino" shook his head, thinking about it and guessing:

"Probably...... Because he knows my family at home...... After all, 'Sakano Real Estate' is ...... with me."

As he spoke, the voice of "Izumo Yukino" gradually became softer, and it seemed that he didn't want to continue, so Takato didn't force it, and continued to ask:

"Okay, let's talk about the case...... Time is running out! ”

As he spoke, Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and found that more than half an hour had passed.

"But ......"

Hearing this, "Izumo Yukino" nervously grabbed the hem of her skirt, thought for a long time, and finally couldn't think of anything, raised her hands, covered her head, shook her head, and said anxiously:

"I really don't know what's going on! At that time, Shion and Chiyo both went out, and then Mr. Agent came back and died after taking a sip of coffee! I really don't know why this is happening! At that time, I was stunned! It wasn't until I heard that Mr. Detective was going to call the police that I came back to my senses...... Because I don't want my identity to be discovered, I ......"

"Good, good...... You calm down first! ”

Seeing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but reach out and press her shoulder, so that her mind calmed down, and then said:

"Based on your statement, the key that can be determined now is that Mr. Sakano was poisoned and died after drinking coffee...... Before that, that can of coffee had been on the coffee table in the lounge, and Mr. Sakano didn't know where he went after you took the stage, right? ”

Hearing this, "Izumo Yukino" couldn't help but calm down and asked:

"Mr. Detective...... Do you know something? ”

In this regard, Gao Yuan just shook his head and couldn't help but say:

"Out of ...... What I can say now, miss, is that so far I have not found any clues...... You'd better be prepared...... This incident, I'm afraid it's not that simple! ”
