The door of 1003 was half-open and half-hidden, and through the crack in the door, it was vaguely visible that it was a mess inside.

Shirakawa rushed in and saw Mei Chiyuki, who had fainted, and Kae Ueda, who was lying in a pool of blood.

Shirakawa's first reaction was that Mei Yi-san's bodyguards were nearby, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Because what smashed Ueda Kae was the vase that Chiyuki Mei usually used to arrange flowers, and after the bodyguard subdued the suspect, it was impossible to ignore the safety of the employer and let Chiyuki Mei faint, and the door was not locked.

At this moment, the vase fell to the ground, reduced to fragments, and it was still stained with the blood of Kae Ueda.

Shirakawa first helped Chiyuki Mei to the sofa, and then walked up to Kae Ueda to probe her snort.

"Not dead."

Shirakawa breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the worst did not come.

Qianxue Mei should have injured her, and then fainted in fright.

Shirakawa's current doubts are, why did Chiyuki Mei open the door to Ueda Kae? Could it be that she was also persuaded by Shizuji Nakayama that Kae Ueda could never be an accomplice to the serial killer?

Before he had time to think about it, Shirakawa came to Kae Ueda with an identification technique.

[Character: Eri Hirose]

[Intelligence: 7]

[Charm: 8]

[Stamina: 5]

[Details:

18 years old, from Tokyo, high school student. The family is broken, her father dies early, and her mother, Toyoko Kotwi, marries her stepfather, Goro Yasui, who is 20 years older than her, and forms a reorganized family with an older brother Taku Yasuida, who is 15 years older than herself.

His stepfather, Goro Yasui, was violent, often beating and verbally insulting his mother and daughter, causing psychological trauma to the young Eri Hirose.

Taku Yasuida, who once bumped into his mother and stepbrother, had an affair, and his faith in his mother collapsed.

Once because he couldn't stand the sick family, he ran away from home, but he was kidnapped by Iwata Yuki and imprisoned in the basement.

Imprisoned with her was Kae Ueda, and the two gradually became friends who talked about everything.

However, her withdrawn personality, social fear, and lack of love since she was a child made Eri Hirose gradually suffer from Stockholm syndrome, and she developed a twisted love for Yuki Iwata, the prisoner who imprisoned her.

Ueda Kae couldn't stand the long-term detention and torture, and finally chose to kill herself.

Watching the death of her only friend, Eri Hirose feels that the only person she can rely on in her life is Yuki Iwata.

She expresses her twisted love to Yuki Iwata, and she gets a response...

Eri Hirose had a soft spot for white stockings since she was a child, presumably due to the fact that her mother always bought her white stockings when she was very young.

She collects different styles of white stockings as gifts for her mother. 】

[Evaluation: Mom, why did you give birth to me? ] People like me shouldn't exist in this world, right? 】

It turned out that she turned out to be Eri Hirose!

All of Shirakawa's doubts were answered.

After the death of her friend Kae Ueda, Eri Hirose left the basement and returned to her home posing as Kae Ueda to help Yuki Iwata find new prey.

Because she herself suffers from Stockholm syndrome and has an extraordinary dependence on Iwata Yuki, she obeys his words.

Coupled with the 5 years of time with Kae Ueda, she has long known all the secrets of Kae Ueda, which is enough to deal with the Ueda couple who are indebted to their daughter, and the Ueda couple are sure that she is their daughter without even doing a paternity test.

This is also why Yano Komimi always feels that she has lost her sense of closeness with Kae Ueda, and she can never return to the feeling of her former best friend.

Because Ueda Kae has long been replaced by Eri Hirose, the first girl Eri Hirose came into contact with was Yashimi Ambition.

Ya Ambition is beautiful and also satisfies the three characteristics of a young girl, a good figure, and a liking of white silk.

But Eri Hirose didn't choose her as a target, and also poured cold water on Yaki Jimi, so that she was hospitalized with a cold and fever, and her mother had to stay with Yano Jimi all the time, creating a relatively safe environment for her.

That's probably the last bit of humanity she retains.

Of course, it may also be because of the long-term lack of love that she has found warmth in the lively and friendly Yaki Kami, or in order to play Kae Ueda perfectly, she has fallen into it and doesn't want to make a move on Kae Ueda's friend.

Eri Hirose also has a habit of collecting white stockings, which means that all the victims' stockings should have been hidden by her.

If so, all it takes is to search Ueda's house to find evidence that she is an accomplice.

But it may be very difficult to get her to say the name of the murderer.

She will most likely choose to remain silent and say nothing, or simply admit all the crimes and exonerate the murderer.

"Ah, big brother, you killed someone!"

Ueo Masumi's words suddenly interrupted Shirakawa's thoughts.

She wore braids, black-rimmed glasses, and a small school bag, and pointed to Eri Hirose lying on the ground with a surprised expression.

"You... How is it here? ”

"I originally came up to talk to my eldest brother, but I saw that my eldest brother had killed someone."

Ueo Masumi said with a determined face, looking at her so calm, it didn't look like an 8-year-old child who saw the scene of the murder should behave.

It's like, it's not the first time she's seen this kind of image.

Shirakawa dialed the emergency number and the police number, and told Masumi Ueo, who was eating melons,

"It's not dead, it's just an accident."

"Well, since the big brother has turned himself in, I won't report you."

"It's not murder, it's an accident."

Bai Chuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling that the bear child was here to find fault.

"It seems that the eldest brother is involved in trouble, and I will come to talk to the eldest brother another day."

Masumi Ueo doesn't believe it was an accident, but considering that the police are coming soon, she recalls the last unpleasant day trip to the Metropolitan Police Department, and she decides to go home quickly so as not to be taken for questioning.

She felt that she was under pressure that she shouldn't have at this age, and she was only 8 years old, why did she always have this kind of thing?

Either there is a murderer hiding in the house, or he has a close relationship with the suspect's big brother.

Before leaving, she also glanced at Shirakawa sympathetically.

That look seemed to say, if you go to prison, I won't go to see you, take care, big brother.

Shirakawa sweated on his forehead, and watched the bear child hurriedly wave goodbye, as if he wanted to shake off the plague god.

Soon, ambulances and police cars arrived.

Both Chiyuki and Eri Hirose were sent to the hospital, and even though Chiyuki Mei just fainted, she was sent in for a check-up just in case.

Shiraki Saya looked at Shirakawa in surprise,

"Kuraki-kun, are you sure Kae Ueda is a suspect?"

"Accomplices of the murderer, to be exact."

"What about the evidence?"

"That's what you need to do at Ueda's house."

Shiraki Saya rushed to Ueda's house with people, but after searching around Ueda, he did not find the deceased's white stockings.

Saya Shiraki had to call Shirakawa for help.

Shirakawa was in the hospital at this time, guarding the unconscious Chiyuki Mei.

"Kuraki-kun, we searched the Ueda couple's home, especially Ueda Kae's room, but we didn't find the deceased's stockings at all, are you mistaken?"

"Does Mr. and Mrs. Ueda's house have a basement?"

Shirakawa asked suddenly.

Saya Shiraki looked back at the frightened Mrs. Ueda, whose husband had not yet returned from work and did not know what had happened at home.

Mrs. Ueda was an unassertive housewife who had never seen such a battle, and she thought that her husband had committed something.

"Madam, do you have a basement in your house?"

Saya Shiraki asked.

Mrs. Ueda bowed slightly, "Yes... Some. ”

"Please take us there."

Finally, Saya Shiraki found the deceased's stockings in the basement of Ueda's house.

The police officers who followed showed an incredible expression, and they couldn't imagine that such a difficult case would make a breakthrough in one day.

Shiraki Saya raised the stockings in his hand and said with a smile,

"Looks like we've picked up a treasure in one lesson."

The two police officers nodded one after another, "Yes, with Kuraki-kun joining, our crime solving rate will definitely double!" ”

"It's really hard to imagine that Kae Ueda will be a suspect."

They returned to the Metropolitan Police Department with the evidence and reported the situation to their superior, Shuichi Mori.

Subsequently, Saya Shiraki took someone to the hospital, and after communicating with the doctor, Kae Ueda, who was not seriously injured, was brought back to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning.

It's a pity that Kae Ueda, who woke up, chose to remain silent even if she saw the evidence.

Her attitude of silence has made Saya Shiraki and the others helpless.

Saya Shiraki called her parents, the Ueda family, hoping that the couple could help Kae Ueda speak, but it still didn't work.

In desperation, I had no choice but to continue to call Shirakawa.

Chiyuki Mei had already woken up at this time, and after making sure that she didn't have any problems, Shirakawa took her to the Metropolitan Police Department and asked her to wait for her in the lounge for the time being

This time, the questioning still had no effect.

As Shirakawa thought, the girl Kae Ueda chose to be silent.

Shirakawa looked at Saya Shiraki beside him,

"Can you turn off the video and wait for me outside for a while?"

Shiraki Saya was slightly stunned, and finally chose to believe Shirakawa.

She stood up, turned off the video, and walked out of the interrogation room.

Shirakawa looked at Kae Ueda, who bowed her head and was silent, and spit out four words lightly, "Iwata Yuki." ”

Ueda Kae was stunned, raised her head, and looked at Shirakawa blankly.

She didn't understand how the young man in front of her could know about Iwata Yuki, could it be that he had already found out the truth?

"I did it, I did it."

This is exactly the same result that Shirakawa expected, the girl either does not speak, or she confesses her guilt when she does.

"I plead guilty, no matter what the punishment is, it's okay, please don't implicate anyone else."

Outside the one-way glass, looking at Eri Hirose, who finally spoke, neither Saya Shiraki nor Shuichi Mori were surprised.

Just like Shirakawa was able to let Kozaburo Nakatani speak before, this time he can also let Kae Ueda speak.

"What about the motive for the killing?"

Shirakawa asked slowly.

"Because I was jealous of them, they had a good future, but I didn't, and out of jealousy, I killed them."

"How do you explain what happened to them before they died, the remaining JY in their bodies?"

"That's... Maybe I met the homeless man when I dumped the corpse after I killed them. ”

"Don't lie anymore, you can't cover up Iwata, we've locked him down through DNA testing."

“dna？”

"Yes, medicine doesn't lie, so in fact, it doesn't matter if you say it or not, he will inevitably be arrested and brought to justice, Eri Hirose."

When Shirakawa said the four words Eri Hirose, there was obvious horror in the girl's eyes.

"You... How do you know I'm not Kae Ueda? ”

"As I said earlier, medicine can't lie, you just need to take your hair and do a DNA test to get your true identity."

Shirakawa said this entirely to corroborate that the police judged that the murderer was Iwata Yuki through DNA, but in fact, there was no data on Iwata Yuki in the police's DNA database, so it was a language trap.

However, how could Eri Hirose, who lacked access to information, know? Her only end is to fall into this language trap.

But she also has her own stubbornness and persistence, even if she believes that what Shirakawa said is true, she is still unwilling to let go.

"Now that you all know, so be it, I don't have anything to say."

Eri Hirose lowered her head again, choosing to remain silent.

Bai Chuan rubbed his eyebrows, and could only launch the primary instigation technique.

"Ever since you ran away from home, Toyoko has been blaming herself for having a bad time now.

"Her husband is domestic violence, her stepson is greedy for her body, and she is like living in hell.

"You are her only salvation.

"But you chose to abandon her.

"You always feel like no one is going to love you.

"But have you ever considered that your mother also needs your love.

"If only Toyoko knew you were still alive.

"Maybe you can muster up the courage to stay away from that sick family.

"The question is, do you want to see her?"

There is another chapter at noon, good night to all of you!
