"Keiichi Kirino?"

"I now suspect that he is Natsukigawa Jiya's accomplice, quick!"

"Okay."

Although he didn't understand why his attitude changed drastically after answering a call from Asagi, Miwako Sato quickly dialed a subordinate's phone out of trust in his partner-

"Tasho, take someone to Keiichi Kirino's house immediately. Bring him back, quick! ”

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Miwako Sato set her sights on her partner.

"The preliminary autopsy results of the two bodies we found at the horse farm came out, and they contained a lot of Edmy ingredients in their bodies, and they were heavy addicts." Katsumi Uehara's eyes were solemn: "And there are traces of dangerous sexual behavior on the bodies of those two people." ”

"Heavy addicts? Both have traces of risky sexual behavior? ”

After being reminded, Miwako Sato's pupils contracted in horror when she thought of some possibility: "Are you saying that he lied to us, and his wife and daughter were not kidnapped by the murderer at all?" ”

"We'll have to go to his house now, and we'll talk about the rest as we go."

Miwako Sato nodded heavily: "Okay." ”

Miwako Sato, who gave an explanation to the police officers at the scene, immediately followed in the footsteps of her partner and hurried down the mountain.

"What we know about the kidnapping of his wife and daughter from the day he was captured comes entirely from three aspects – the narration of Keichi Kirino; his wife's relatives and friends, their family's friends and relatives, and neighbours; His daughter's friend, classmate, teacher.

"In retrospect, it seems to be very comprehensive, but in fact, this is all something that Keiichi Kirino can completely fool by himself. After all, he is a husband, a father, and the pillar of this family.

He can use these identities to construct an image of his relatives, friends, neighbors, and even his children's classmates and teachers waiting for his family to return, so that when the police go to interrogate, they will naturally get the truth, because those people really think that what they know is true, after all, this family was indeed a very happy family before.

"In fact, in their cognition, the kidnapping of Kirino's wife and daughter is indeed true, because this is what Keiichi Kirino prepared to show them in advance."

In the bright red Mazda, in the jet-black walkie-talkie, Miwako Sato, who was driving, held the steering wheel tightly and listened to her partner's speculation.

"Keiichi Kirino took advantage of the psychology of the police and played a game of black under the lamp. He was arrested, he begged for mercy, he begged the police to rescue his wife and daughter, and step by step sketched the prototype of a helpless victim.

"Later, the results of our visit were misled by the bitter drama that he had already sung between his relatives, friends and neighbors, and finally let us manually complete the identity of the last layer of the victim's family for him based on our own findings.

"As written in the first challenge book, he stands by our side as an NPC who drives the game's story, and uses the results he has prepared to induce us to advance the story step by step.

At the same time, because Sayuri Matsumoto was kidnapped, he had been in the Metropolitan Police Department, combined with this layer of victim identity, we will subconsciously ignore him when considering the murderer's accomplices, and notice the more dazzling Yuka Miyazawa-

And this Yuka Miyazawa is a student of the gym where he is.

The most important thing is that she also said during the interrogation that many people knew about her husband's death, and she also went to the gym to stop the card because she had to deal with the funeral, which means that Kirino Kei probably knew the death information of Miyazawa Shin through this relationship.

In this way, she became a pawn in Keiichi Kirino's plan to delay the police, buying a certain amount of time for his accomplices' actions.

"In other words, the appearance of Yuka Miyazawa is one of the reasons why he made this plan."

However, he didn't spend much time in the Metropolitan Police Department. Because once the police find the bodies of his wife and daughter, then he will definitely be exposed after the autopsy.

As a husband who gets along with his wife day and night, it is impossible for him not to be able to detect his wife's abnormality at all. So when the police told him to look at the body, he was ready to move on to the next step. ”

After telling all the speculations that had just popped up in his heart in one breath, Katsumi Uehara, who was riding on the accelerator, took a breath. Inside the walkie-talkie, Miwako Sato's voice came immediately-

"If your speculation is to be valid, you need to consider five points first.

"One is why Keiichi Kirino killed those 7 people before this, and the second is where did Kirino Mukio know the whereabouts of Ayako Suzuki and Toshihiko Takasugi;

"The third is why did he kidnap Sayuri Matsumoto and leave that puzzle, and the fourth is that since he knew that once he kidnapped the eldest son and eldest daughter of the consortium, there would definitely be an autopsy to intervene, so why did he do so much in front? You say it as if he's pushing us forward with all his heart and soul to track him down.

"Five: Does he have such strong fighting ability? It is true that Ayako Suzuki did not bring many bodyguards this time, but it is not something that can be solved by a random fitness trainer. ”

Miwako Sato's question made Katsumi Uehara ponder for a moment, and said: "I've also thought about this problem, considering the Edmi ingredients in the bodies of these deceased, I think the drug hypothesis you proposed before can be changed to another object-

"That is, the seven deceased in the serial murder case are the culprits who led his wife and daughter into the abyss of drug abuse, so he wants to kill them;

"The second point is that I highly suspect that the whereabouts of Toshihiko Takasugi and Ayako Suzuki were leaked from the hospital - Natsukigawa Shitsuya determined the location in the name of communicating about Sayuri Matsumoto's condition;

"As for Ayako Suzuki, my current suspicion is that Shiro Suzuki said she was preparing for a college club gathering.

"I suspect that someone in this party had gone to the neurology department at Rice Flower Central Hospital, and that the attending doctor was Dr. Taiga, the first deceased in the serial murder case. It was from contact with Dr. Taiga that the prisoner learned about this and began to locate the target location. ”

"The third point, I haven't figured out the point of kidnapping Sayuri Matsumoto, but I'm more inclined to be misleading or metaphorical.

"If it's misleading, we've discussed the consequences before. But if it is a metaphor, it means that the prisoner did not achieve his true purpose at that time, and the kidnapping of Sayuri Matsumoto and the letter of God's prophecy is still a foreshadowing for his ultimate goal.

"The fourth point you mentioned is also the point that worries me the most right now.

"That is, the reason why the prisoner did this is to ensure that the police investigation will not go down the wrong path before the bodies of his wife and daughter are found, so we need a layer of camouflage to stand by our side, so that we can always fulfill the role of NPCs and provide some information to the police from time to time.

When he found out that everything was going according to his plan, and the police had successfully found the bodies of his wife and daughter, he left to start the next step.

In other words, everything he has done now, including the painstaking kidnapping of Toshihiko Takasugi and Ayako Suzuki, is for his last purpose.

"As for the fifth point, do you remember the profile of the murderer that the Twilight Police Department said, he is good at holding weapons and has strong fighting ability.

"I remember that Keiichi Kirino's file originally stated that he had been in prison for armed brawls, and he still won the war, and I think we can go down and find out what kind of brawl this armed brawl is.

"And I suspect that his wife and daughter were addicted to drugs during the gap period when he was in prison. At first, he probably didn't realize it after he was released from prison, but when his wife and daughter had evolved to the point where they could no longer control themselves, he learned the truth. ”

Chirping!!!

The sound of the tires rubbing against the ground was particularly harsh under the clear sky, and the two cars that had been racing wildly and ignoring the traffic rules fell into the parking space in unison.

The two people who got out of the car scooped up the police cordon and looked at the apartment where only the police officers were left walking back and forth, and their faces were ugly.

"Uehara Criminal, here's a note for you."

Seeing the comer, the police officer who came to the scene one step earlier hurriedly carried the evidence box to the two of them, and handed a piece of paper in the evidence bag to Katsumi Uehara-

[The hospital lost me, Katsumi Uehara, I'm going to gamble with you again.] This time, it's still a gamble. 】
