"Can you arrange for me to meet with the prisoner from yesterday's divination hall, Kawai Tsuko?"

Over the phone, Karasuma Ying earnestly pleaded.

She has a lot of questions in her heart now, and she needs to confront Kawai one by one.

"Kawai Kawaiko......"

Hearing Karasuma Ying's request, Miwako Sato seemed to have some concerns, she didn't answer immediately, but got up and left the police station, and after coming to a remote and uninhabited corner, she asked rhetorically:

"Xiaoying, why do you want to see her?"

Noncticing a hint of abnormality in her tone, Karasuma replied truthfully:

"It's about her deceased sister, I just noticed something strange and wanted to ask her some questions in person."

"That's ......"

After listening to Karasuma Ying's answer, Miwako Sato hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed softly and said:

"Xiaoying, you're late for this call......"

"Why?"

"Because just last night, Kawai committed suicide in the detention center where she was temporarily held."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Karasuma Ying stood up from her seat abruptly, shocked beyond words.

"Are you sure it was a suicide?" She asked hurriedly.

"I don't know much about that, and I only learned about it from other colleagues this morning.

I heard that Kawai was originally very stable after her arrest, but last night, she took advantage of the negligence of the guards and suddenly slit her throat with a fork she borrowed temporarily.

Although her colleagues at the detention center sent her to the hospital for emergency treatment as soon as possible, the result was still ......"

"What about her body? Where are the remains? Karasuma continued to ask.

"After the rescue failed and her death was confirmed, her body was sent for cremation as soon as possible."

"So fast?"

"Well, I heard that it was an order from the superiors, because the situation of the prisoner committing suicide in the detention center is likely to have a negative impact on the reputation of the police in the outside world, so I ordered that this matter should not only be dealt with quickly, but also kept secret......

It will probably take a while longer, and after the heat of this case has passed, the police will probably officially announce the death of Kawai Tsuko......"

Speaking of this, Miwako Sato shook her head and smiled, the look on her face seemed to be self-deprecating.

"What about Kimiko Arai's body?"

"Like Kawaiko, they were all cremated last night."

[Is that really the case......]

Hearing Miwako Sato's answer, Karasuma Ying sighed faintly.

Kawai's "suicide" is obviously not that simple, she should have been killed and killed.

And the person who wants to dispose of her obviously has a powerful energy far beyond ordinary people, and can even affect the upper echelons of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Only in this way can we explain the reason for the "speed of light cremation" of the mother and daughter of Kawai and Arai Kimiko.

After the mysterious man disposed of Takamiko Arai by borrowing Kawai's hand, he used a special way to cover up suicide and dealt with Kawai with him.

The purpose of the mysterious man was to let the mother and daughter die from the beginning, after all, for the mysterious man, the existence of the mother and daughter itself was fatal.

As for Yamada Ichiro, he should also belong to one of the insiders, and he should still be the person with the most energy, the highest social status, and the most threatening to the mysterious person among all the insiders at present, so he became the first to die.

To sum up, there is only one candidate who can connect the current three victims and have sufficient reasons to kill them - Noriko Kawai.

Or rather...... Owada Mitsuyu.

“……”

"Well, okay, then please, Maori detective......"

On the other side, in the seminar room of Didan University, the yellow-haired young man hung up the phone, sat back in his chair, reached out and grabbed the oxygen cylinder on the table and took a deep breath.

"Hoo ......"

After a long sigh of relief, he leaned back in his chair limply, his eyes full of exhaustion.

His name is Takasugi Yuto, and he was originally an assistant to the famous detective Narizawa.

Ever since Mr. Narusawa called him to his office late the night before yesterday and quietly handed him a folder for him to return to university, something strange had gradually happened around him.

At first, the building where their seminar room was located began to have more people outside the building.

Although he hadn't been to the school for a while, Takasugi remembered very well that the building in their seminar room was located in a very remote area, and there were no roads around, so no one usually passed by here.

But since he came back the night before, the place has suddenly become lively.

From time to time, some people pass by outside the building, and strangers often come in under the guise of visiting.

Even yesterday, Takasugi Yuto met a reporter who claimed to be on a program and ran into their seminar room to conduct an interview.

What's even more exaggerated is that after he returned from dinner in the cafeteria yesterday afternoon, he also found that his drawer had been turned over.

As a would-be detective, Takasugi Yuto is vaguely aware that he may be being followed and watched.

And the purpose of these people is likely to be the folder that Mr. Narizawa gave him.

Takasugi instinctively sensed a hint of danger, though he didn't know what trouble Mr. Narizawa was in or what was in that folder.

But one thing he knew was that he couldn't show anything unusual at such a time, he couldn't cause trouble for Mr. Naruzawa, and he couldn't try to call the police.

Because if it was useful to call the police, Mr. Narizawa would have called the police a long time ago, and it was impossible to let him leave quietly with this folder.

Since Mr. Naruzawa did not choose to call the police, it means that calling the police will not only not solve the difficulties that Mr. Narusawa is currently experiencing, but will even cause him to encounter greater dangers.

But that doesn't mean that Takasugi will sit still.

Although the police were useless, he had other ways to give a small warning to those who were following him.

That's the Maori detective!

Didn't someone sneak through the drawer in his seminar room yesterday while he wasn't there?

He can use this as an excuse to pretend that he has lost 100,000 yuan in living expenses, and invite the Maori detective to investigate the neighborhood!

He wanted to see where those men could hide under the sharp eyes of the Maori detectives!

"Youdou, I'll bring you back lunch."

Suddenly, the door of the seminar room was opened, and a woman with glasses and a gentle appearance walked in with a boxed lunch.

Her name is Rin Suzumura, and she is Yuto Takasugi's girlfriend.

"Rin-chan, thank you."

Takasugi Yuto took the lunch box and grinned.

He has a good relationship with Rin Suzumura, and the two have been boyfriend and girlfriend since they went to college.

"No thanks, you hurry up and eat, I have to go see a relative."

"Relatives?"

I'm sleepy, three watches tomorrow (『)
