"Really? I think it tastes so good. ”

Shirakawa stretched, thinking that the supper was very delicious, especially the cold beer.

"That's because you've had a busy day, and of course you think it tastes good, but I'm different."

Shuang Yuezhen pursed her lips and looked at Bai Chuan with envy.

"Well, in that case, why don't you do some exercise first, anyway, there is still beer in the refrigerator."

Shirakawa smiled and looked at Frost Moon Zhen.

Frost Yuezhen immediately refused, "Don't! No! I refuse! ”

"I'm talking about sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, and a lot of lactic acid is produced after exercise, which leads to an acid-base imbalance in the human body, while drinking alcohol can dilate blood vessels and speed up lactate metabolism ......"

"Stop, stop, don't tell me about theoretical knowledge, in short, you're talking about serious sports, right?"

Frost Yuezhen's eyes lit up.

Shirakawa nodded, "Yes, very serious." ”

"Let's get started!"

Frost Yuezhen stood up, tied her loose black hair in a ponytail briefly, and looked at Shirakawa excitedly.

Shirakawa nodded, picked her up, carried her on his shoulders, and led her into the bedroom.

"Ah, didn't you say that it was a serious sport? What are you doing? ”

Frost Yuezhen's calf kicked up, and she directly kicked the slippers away.

"It's all included, don't believe it."

Shirakawa said with a smile.

"Besides, you need to exercise, I need to relax, it's a great match."

"Kuraki-kun, you've learned badly, who taught you?"

"Of course, it's Miss Jane's credit."

The two were fighting in the bedroom, and by the time they finished their workout, it was already 2 a.m.

Shirakawa collapsed on the bed, feeling like he was going to get a good night's sleep.

He quietly opened his eyes and saw Frost Yuezhen carefully get out of the quilt, open the door of the room, and walk to the living room.

About 1 minute later, Shuang Yuezhen sat on the sofa with a bottle of beer, opened it, took a sip, and narrowed her eyes.

Five minutes later, Frost Moon Zhen crept back again, burrowed into Shirakawa's chest, and continued to sleep.

Sure enough, it's a little drunkard.

Shirakawa sighed inwardly and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, after Shirakawa finished class, he saw Saya Shiraki waiting at the school gate.

It seems that Grandma Matsuno's case of missing persons can be closed because Katsurako is dead.

I just don't know if the old man can suffer this kind of blow.

Just as Shirakawa was thinking so, he heard Shiraki Saya say a surprising news,

"Kuraki-kun, the DNA results are out, Katsura is not Grandma Matsuno's daughter."

Saya Shiraki handed the report of the laboratory department to Shirakawa.

Shirakawa couldn't imagine that his prudence had once again worked.

If Katsura wasn't Grandma Matsuno's daughter, who would be Grandma Matsuno's daughter? And who killed Takashi Hoda and Katsurako?

It can't be the sea where Takashi Hoda wants to take his lover Katsura to martyrdom and take the initiative to drive the car into the sea, right?

"What about the results of the forensic examination?"

Shirakawa asked.

"The medical examiner determined that the time of death of the two was 12 noon on June 17, that is, at noon four days ago, and the cause of death was drowning, which should have been driven directly into the sea, causing the two to drown."

"The car drove straight into the sea?"

"Yes, the vehicle was salvage, and our technicians inspected it and found that the brakes were broken."

"It is speculated that Takashi Hoda should have driven his lover Katsurako to the beach to cheat, but the brakes suddenly failed, causing the car to drive directly into the sea, and the two drowned."

Saya Shiraki said.

"No, if the vehicle was tampered with in advance and the brakes failed, then Takashi Hoda should have noticed it when he drove to Katsurako's house to pick her up, and there might be a car accident on the road, why did he wait until the two of them arrived at the beach before the accident happened?

"On the other hand, if the brakes suddenly fail, on the way to the sea, there is a buffer distance from the beach to the shallow sea, and there is time to unbuckle the seat belt and jump out of the car, why do you have to sink into the sea with the car?"

Shirakawa asked two questions, and Saya Shiraki was speechless for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, she said,

"What does Kuraki-kun mean that the two of them lost consciousness before they sank into the sea? The brake failure was not an accident, maybe there was a third person at the scene at the time? ”

"Yes."

Shirakawa closed his eyes and roughly recreated the scene in his mind.

Because June 17 is the 5th anniversary of Takashi Hoda and Katsurako's acquaintance, Takashi Hoda went to the deserted beach in the suburbs in advance in order to surprise his lover, set up a tent, and prepared cakes and gifts in the tent, ready to spend a romantic weekend with his lover at the beach.

17 At 9 o'clock in the morning, Takashi Hoda told his wife that he was going on a business trip, so he left home, drove to the vicinity of Matsuno's grandmother's house, dialed Katsurako's phone, Katsura put on her favorite dress, put on delicate makeup, in order not to be disturbed by other people, she did not bring her usual mobile phone, but used the mobile phone that she and her lover specially contacted.

She walked out of the alley and got into Takashi Hoda's car.

When the two arrive at the beach, Katsura is touched by the tent and candles, at least proving that Takashi Hoda always remembered their anniversary.

So the two of them talked to me in the tent, and finally because of excessive exercise, they were very thirsty, ate cake, and drank the mineral water prepared in advance.

Shirakawa suddenly opened his eyes and asked,

"Did you bring back the cake and mineral water bottle from the scene for testing?"

"Nope."

Neither Saya Shiraki nor the police officers thought that there would be any problems with the food used in the tent, and it wasn't necessarily that Takashi Hoda had eaten, so they didn't pick it up, and now that they think about it, it should be regarded as their own negligence.

"I'll go right away, the site has been cordoned off by us, and the cake and mineral water bottles can be retrieved for testing at any time."

"No, if the murderer was also at the scene at the time, then there would be no evidence left, there should be no problem with the cake, if there was a problem with the mineral water, then the bottle must have been rinsed with seawater, and nothing will be detected."

Shirakawa calmly analyzed.

"However, if there is a problem with the water, the autopsy results do not show that the two of them have taken sleeping pills or anything like that."

Saya Shiraki asked.

"Because it's been soaked in seawater for so long, it's normal that you can't check it out."

Shirakawa replied.

"So how can we prove that there is a third person at the scene?"

Shiraki Saya asked with a frown.

"And who would know Mr. Hoda's whereabouts so clearly, if it was tracking, there was no place to hide on the beach except for tents, why didn't Mr. Hoda and Ms. Katsura find this person?"

Saya Shiraki asked.

"No, there was a place on the beach where people could hide besides tents."

"Where?"

"Takashi Hoda's trunk."

"It means that the murderer has been hiding in the trunk of Takashi Hoda, followed Takashi Hoda to the beach, and then waited for them to drink the mineral water in question, after the two fell unconscious, the murderer carried them to the car, because he was afraid that the two would wake up halfway, so he destroyed the brakes of the car, lifted the two to the car, started the engine of the car, and let the car sink into the sea with the victim?"

Saya Shiraki said in surprise.

Shirakawa bowed slightly, "It's very likely." ”

"So who's going to do that? It can't be Mrs. Hoda, right?"

Shiraki Saya suddenly felt that Mrs. Hoda was very likely, because she knew that her husband was cheating and concealed herself, so she designed this play.

Thinking of Mrs. Hoda's abnormal appearance yesterday, Saya Shiraki felt more and more suspicious about her.

Shirakawa can't rule out Tsukada Maki's suspicion for the time being, but he has a vague conjecture in his heart, maybe seeing Tsukada Maki again, can be verified.

"Let's go, let's go to Mr. Hoda's house again."

Shirakawa stood up and said to Saya Shiraki.

The two drove and soon came to the apartment of the Hoda couple.

The first time Maki Tsukada saw Saya Shiraki, he asked about Katsurako's situation,

"Officer, did you find Katsurako?"

Shirakawa took the lead in saying before Shiraki Saya answered,

"We found a female corpse, because it has been soaked in water for too long and has been deformed and cannot be recognized, may I ask Mrs., do you know what the characteristics of Ms. Guizi are?"

“… No, it won't be Guizi,...... She...... She has a tiny butterfly-shaped birthmark on her chest. ”

Maki Tsukada first denied Shirakawa's statement, as if trying to convince himself, and then slowly said Katsurako's qualities.

"There is another man beside her, and I can't see his face clearly, so we wonder if it could be Mr. Hoda, do you have any characteristics?"

"He... He, I don't know, shouldn't be. ”

Maki Tsukada said hesitantly.

I've been married for so long, and I don't even know what characteristics Mr. Hoda has?

Shiraki Saya frowned slightly, she remembered that the autopsy report mentioned that Mr. Hoda's left little finger was shorter than a normal person, and he should have been injured when he was a child.

If it's a lover who gets along day and night, you'll remember this obvious trait anyway, right?

Why can't Maki Tsukada say it?

After Shirakawa asked these two questions, he basically understood the relationship between Maki Tsukada and the two deceased, and ruled out the suspicion that she was murderous.

Of course, because she still has a lot to do with the case, Shirakawa still performed an identification technique on her.

One is to verify one's conjecture, and the other is to find more useful clues.

When she was 5 years old, she was separated from her biological mother, Grandma Matsuno, and was sold to the family of a couple in Osaka, who carefully cultivated her and sent her to learn the violin.

One year later, because the couple gave birth to another son, she was sent to a local welfare home.

She met the lively and cheerful Katsuko and Tatsuya Ono with low self-esteem at the welfare home.

The three became good friends, especially since she and Katsura were almost inseparable.

Because Guizi always teased her, she fell into unrequited love, and regarded Guizi as her best friend and told Guizi about her life experience.

At the age of 9, she was again adopted by the Tsukada family and brought to Tokyo, where she was trained to become an excellent violinist.

Ten years ago, Katsura also came to Tokyo and stayed at a bar.

Maki Tsukada finished the show with his friends and went to the bar to relax, just in time to see Katsurako shining on stage.

The two recognized each other and told each other their feelings, and soon came together ......]
