19. Who is behind the scenes?

In the book house filled with the scent of pine wood, Masumi Ueo is still talking about his mother's famous works with relish.

Shirakawa's back felt a slight chill, and his pupils contracted involuntarily.

Mrs. Ageo, is it the mastermind behind the scenes?

She dominated it all, even disguising herself and her daughter as victims.

All the evidence points to Jiro Matsunoda, fingerprints, confessions, tools for committing the crime, and motives for the crime have nothing to do with the gentle and kind Mrs. Ueo.

She even reported a missing person case because her nanny disappeared for no reason.

The police also suspected her at one time, monitored and investigated her, but found nothing, only to prove her kindness and innocence.

"Most of the money for the books written by my mother was donated to charity, and there is an orphanage named after my mother."

"Mom also likes to help stray cats and dogs in the neighborhood, big brother, are you listening?"

"Well, is my mom the greatest mom in the world?"

The proud Ueo Masumi was completely unaware of Shirakawa's mood swings, as if she had seen her best friend, eager to show off her proudest treasure.

Shirakawa stretched out his hand and touched the cover of "The Chair of the World".

Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded from behind,

"Kuraki-kun, flipping through other people's books at will, it's a bad habit."

If it weren't for the psychological quality honed by the criminal police for many years, Shirakawa felt that he would have to be scared out of Parkinson's syndrome on the spot.

He withdrew his hand and looked back at Miko Ueo with a smile on her face.

Ueo Masumi has rushed into his mother's arms and started to be coquettish,

"Mom, I brought my eldest brother to visit, otherwise how would he believe how good my mother is."

"Masumi-chan, it's not a good habit to show off."

Miko Ueo pinched Masumi Ueo's little face dotingly.

Ueo stuck out her tongue, "Okay, Mom, I know it's wrong. ”

Miko Ueo made a sumptuous dinner, but Shirakawa's mind was no longer on dinner.

After dinner, Shirakawa said goodbye to the mother and daughter and returned to his apartment.

I searched for a writer profile about Miko Ueo on my phone, and there was a video interview in it that caught Shirakawa's attention.

Hostess: "Miko-sensei, the portrayals in each of your novels pay great attention to detail, so vivid that they give people a sense of immersion, and the delicacy of the descriptions is not comparable to others, how did you do it?" ”

Miko Oeo: "The most important thing is experience, when I write each novel, I try to experience the life of the protagonist of the novel, simulating their mental state and behavior patterns, for example, the heroine in "The Fight for Kindness" has a very kind personality, even in the face of the homeless people on the street, I can't help but sympathize, and take the homeless people to rest at home, and I also tried to do so. ”

Hostess: "Oh my God, did you really invite the homeless man to your house?" So he didn't do anything to you, did he? ”

Miko Ueo: "Not all homeless people have a despicable personality, I happened to meet a gentleman, he was also a successful investor, because of the stock market crash caused bankruptcy, and then contracted lung disease, unable to do high-intensity work, so he became a homeless man with nothing, I gave him a meal, let him bathe, and cut his hair, he thanked him and left, and there was no superfluous development, I guess he should start from scratch and start a new journey."

He has brought me a lot of inspiration, and here Miko also calls on everyone to be more caring and less questioning for the people at the bottom of society, whose only sin may be poverty. ”

Hostess: "Miko-sensei is so kind, I heard that the theme of your next book has been decided to be a crime genre, this should be a great challenge for you, right?" ”

Miko Ueo smiled but said nothing, and the hostess continued,

"Do you want to experience a crime too?"

Miko Ueo: "If necessary, maybe." ”

Hostess: "Haha, Miko-sensei is really humorous, with your character, you can't bear to step on an ant, right?" How is it possible to experience crime. ”

Miko Ueo: "I'm probably going to take a sideline approach and find inspiration from the cases that have happened in the past. ”

"If necessary, perhaps..."

Shirakawa repeated the phrase and searched for Miko Ageo's latest novel, The Murderer.

The synopsis of the novel is just a simple sentence, this is a story about a murderer, and there may be an unknown secret behind it.

This perfunctory introduction could not bring any information to Shirakawa, so he chose to order a copy of "The Murderer" in an online store.

Putting down the phone, Shirakawa, whose head was swollen, walked into the toilet, turned on the faucet of the sink, and kept slapping his face with cold water.

In the crackling sound, Shirakawa's thoughts gradually calmed down.

Miko Ueo is really a more dangerous existence than Mrs. Suzume.

So, will the murderer who blames herself for the murder be Miko Ueo?

[You are nervous, you need to relax, maybe you need the comfort of Qianxue Meiyi, her soft body and heavenly voice are indispensable. 】

Shirakawa rubbed his temples and saw a text message prompt appear on the screen of his mobile phone.

Chiyuki Mei: [Kuraki-kun, why didn't you come to dinner tonight?] ]

Shirakawa washed his face, changed into clean home clothes, walked to room 1003 next door, and rang the doorbell.

Chiyuki Mei saw through the cat's eye and saw that it was Shirakawa, so she opened the door.

"I thought you weren't coming."

"It's still the food you cook that suits my taste, I'm thinking about whether to hire you as my chef in the future."

Shirakawa said with a smile.

When facing Chiyuki Meiyi, his mood relaxed a lot.

Instead of picking up, she turned around and walked to the kitchen, took the food out of the refrigerator, and heated it in the microwave.

Although she guessed that Shirakawa would not come, she kept one for him.

It takes 13 days for ordinary people to develop a good habit, but it only took 3 days for Qianxue Meiyi.

After 10 minutes, Shirakawa ate the flavored soup and salmon bibimbap.

Realizing that something seemed wrong with Shirakawa's emotions, she walked over to the piano and sat down slowly, her slender fingers roaming over the black and white keys.

Soft, soothing piano music envelops Shirakawa,

His tired spirit was relaxed.

Before he knew it, he fell asleep on the sofa.

Chiyuki stopped playing, quietly walked over to Shirakawa, and covered him with a blanket.

She curled up on the other side of the sofa, silently flipping through a popular science book called "Heartbeat Signal".

Shirakawa slept until 10 p.m. and didn't wake up.

He found that Qianxue Meiyi's little feet were lying quietly in his arms.

It seems that he subconsciously hugged this pair of perfect jade feet when he was sleeping, but fortunately, he didn't make any more excessive moves, otherwise the 35 favorability value that he finally brushed up would definitely decline.

Taking advantage of Shirakawa's awakening, Qianxue Yayi quickly retracted her feet, and covered the "Heartbeat Signal" with an English book, and said coldly,

"Kuraki-kun, go back as soon as you wake up, I'm going to rest too."

"I'm sorry, I fell asleep, your piano plays really well, I'll look for you for insomnia in the future."

Shirakawa stood up as he spoke, stretching his waist, and the tiredness was swept away.

Qian Xue Mei didn't say anything, peeking at Shirakawa out of the corner of her eye, until she saw him turn to leave, and then put down the English book with a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Shirakawa turned around.

Chiyuki Mei hurriedly held up the English book again.

Shirakawa let out a hearty laugh.

I've seen "Heartbeat Signals".

Sure enough, it's a book for young girls.

Qianxue Yayi's cheeks suddenly blushed, threw the book aside, stepped on her slippers, and quickly rushed back to her room, closing the door without leaving a gap.
