Shirakawa prepared breakfast for Suzume, and although it didn't quite fit Suzume's taste, she still finished it.

After breakfast, Shirakawa received a call from Shuichi Mori and rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"The deceased's name is Kako Sueyoshi, a little-known lyricist, and the time of death was between 12 noon and 1 o'clock yesterday, and multiple witnesses saw her jumping from the balcony."

Saya Shiraki said.

"It sounds like suicide."

Shirakawa said.

Wait, this name is so familiar, it seems to have been heard somewhere.

Shirakawa suddenly remembered that when he was looking for Matsushima-kun with Maki Narita that day, he met the pair of men and women who were looking for the house, and the young and beautiful lady among them was not Kako Sueyoshi?

At that time, Sueyoshi Kako confidently said that this place would become the residence of a famous lyricist in the future.

How could such a lively and cheerful girl commit suicide?

"Yes, but Sueyoshi's family doesn't think she's going to kill herself, just last night, she called her mother to tell her that she would soon become a famous lyricist, and that she had already bought a house in Tokyo, and it wouldn't be long before she could bring her parents to live in Tokyo, so she had no reason to commit suicide."

Shuichi Mori said.

"Take me to see the body."

Shirakawa and Shuichi Mori walked towards the morgue.

At this time, Kako Sueyoshi was lying on a morgue with a large bloody hole in the back of her head and a broken neck, presumably caused by her head hitting the ground first when she fell to the ground.

"Is there a suspect?"

Shirakawa asked as he examined Kako Sueyoshi's body.

"No, we found Sueyoshi Kako's suicide note in the apartment, and multiple witnesses saw her jump downstairs, so we didn't investigate the people around her for the time being, and she was the only one in the apartment at the time of the crime."

Shuichi Mori said.

Shizuji Nakayama speculated, "Could it be that something happened to Kako Sueyoshi after talking to her parents that she couldn't think of jumping off the building?" ”

"Officer Zhongshan, are you back?"

Shirakawa looked at Shizuji Nakayama in surprise, he had changed his new hairstyle, and his whole person had lost a lot of weight, but he looked radiant, and he should have completely walked out of his grief.

"Yes, Kuraki-kun, I'm back, and I can't take a vacation all the time."

Shizuji Nakayama scratched his hair embarrassedly.

"It's good to be back."

Shirakawa said with a smile.

Shizuji Nakayama nodded, he didn't know why, he saw that Shirakawa always had a sense of déjà vu that the juniors saw the seniors.

"Who is Katano Guizhi?"

Shirakawa asked suddenly.

Shuichi Mori touched his mustache and replied,

"Mr. Katano is a lyricist in their studio, and because of his beautiful lyrics, he is also considered an artist in the field of lyrics, and he is also a teacher of Kako Sueyoshi, and after Kako Sueyoshi's death, he was very sad."

"Between the two are just simple teachers and students?"

Shirakawa asked.

Maori Xiu was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" ”

"When I was helping a classmate find someone some time ago, I happened to meet Takashi Katano and Kako Sueyoshi, when they happened to be looking at a house together, probably wanting to buy it as a love nest, and it can be seen that the two are very close, it should be a couple."

Shirakawa put on gloves and carefully examined Kako Sueyoshi's body, and obtained two results through the identification of the wounds.

Sueyoshi's fatal wound was in the head.

Kako Sueyoshi was thrown downstairs after her death and was hit twice.

In other words, it is impossible for Sueyoshi Kako to commit suicide.

Shirakawa already had a conjecture in his heart, and locked on the murderer, Mr. Katano, an artist whose inspiration had dried up.

"Mr. Katano has hidden this from us, and it seems that he does not want to make his relationship with Kako Sueyoshi public."

Saya Shiraki said.

"But it's nothing, it's very common in the art world, and they don't usually make it public, because Mr. Katano has a wife."

Shizuji Nakayama touched his chin and said.

"In any case, it is suspicious to hide clues from the police."

Mori Shuichi turned his head to look at Shirakawa,

"Kuraki-kun, what do you think?"

"Please come back and help with the investigation."

"Today? Today is the launch of Mr. Katagano's new work. ”

Shizuji Nakayama usually likes to listen to some music, and belongs to Katano to half of his fans.

"New work?"

Shirakawa looked at Shizuji Nakayama suspiciously.

Shizuji Nakayama nodded, took out his phone, and searched for the latest word of Katano Takashi.

"This is a lyric for singer Miss Eri Oishi, the lyrics of this song have surpassed all the words of Mr. Katano, it has only been released for 2 hours, and it has rushed to the hot search, Miss Eeri Oishi specially invited Mr. Katano to participate in her new song conference today."

Shirakawa appraised the lyrics.

[Item: Lyrics]

[Identification result: Lyrics written by Kako Sueyoshi.] 】

[Evaluation: Talented female lyricist.] 】

After the identification results came out, Shirakawa was 100% sure that Kako Sueyoshi was killed by Takashi Katano .

It's just that after he killed Kako Sueyoshi, he faked the picture of Kako Sueyoshi committing suicide?

But none of this matters, you just need to lock up the murderer and then use instigation to make him tell the truth.

"Isn't the lyrics great?"

Shizuji Nakayama asked.

"Yes, the brushstrokes are delicate, and it doesn't look like a man can write at all."

Shirakawa meant something.

"Kuraki-kun, do you mean that these lyrics weren't written by Mr. Katano?"

Shizuji Nakayama asked in surprise.

"Did he write it, just bring him back and ask."

Shirakawa removed his gloves and left the morgue.

Others followed him away.

Shuichi Mori immediately asked his subordinates to invite Katano Takashi back to assist in the investigation.

At this time, Takashi Katano, who was still at the press conference, received a summons from the police and stayed away from the scene under a kind of spotlight.

"Mr. Katano, why did the police take you away?"

"Mr. Katano, look over here and smile at the camera."

"Mr. Katano, are you involved in the murder?"

In the face of these media's questions, Katano could only explain stubbornly,

"One of my students chose to commit suicide because of long-term depression, it is really not easy to be a lyricist, I can have today's achievements thanks to everyone's support, I am just going to assist the police in investigating the suicide case of my disciple, please pay attention to my work, and don't pay too much attention to the private life of the lyricist, which will bring us a lot of pressure."

After Takano finished speaking, he hurriedly got into the car with the police.

Shizuji Nakayama brought Katano Takashi back to the Metropolitan Police Department and said politely,

"You wait in the break room for a moment, and we'll have the Special Counsel come and ask a few questions."

"Okay, I'll do my best with you."

Although he was unhappy in his heart, Katano did not show it.

He sat in the lounge and waited for half an hour before Shirakawa was late.

The moment he saw Shirakawa, he was stunned.

This teenager is so familiar? Could it be the one I saw a few days ago? That's right, he'd seen himself with Kako Sueyoshi.

Thinking of this, Katano became a little uneasy.

He began to regret that he had not called a lawyer with him.

But if you call a lawyer, you will look even more empty-hearted.

"Mr. Katano, the lyrics of your new song are very beautiful and remind me of the feeling of spring, forgive me for taking the time to listen to all the songs you have written before."

Shirakawa sat across from him with a smile, steaming coffee cup.

"It's okay, it's just that my time is precious, and I hope we can soon."

Takashi Katano said.

"No hurry, Miss Saya, please pour Mr. Katano a cup of coffee."

Shirakawa looked at Saya Shiraki.

Saya Shiraki bowed slightly, and made a cup of coffee for Katano Guizhi.

Katano took the coffee, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome."

Saya Shiraki sat down next to Shirakawa and was in charge of recording.

"Mr. Katano, what kind of person do you think Kazuko Sueyoshi is?"

"She's very talented and enthusiastic, and she's the best of my students, but unfortunately she suffers from depression, which is very common in our lyric world."

Katano said with a sad look in his eyes.

"Are you and Kako Sueyoshi a couple?"

Shirakawa asked.

Katano Guizhi covered his face with his hands and sobbed in a low voice,

"Yes, we fell in love because we admired each other and attracted each other, but I couldn't let my wife know about it, and I was very sad about Kako's death."

"The lyrics you wrote have changed their style since 2 years ago, are they nourished by love?"

Shirakawa asked.

Katano was slightly stunned, and he didn't expect Shirakawa to really listen to all his works.

He nodded, "Yes, 2 years ago, I met Kako Sueyoshi, and she brought new inspiration to my creations. ”

"Your new lyrics "Butterfly Transformation" are very well written, and the inspiration is also from Kako Sueyoshi?"

Shirakawa picked up his coffee cup and said in a chatting tone.

Katano shook his head, "No, the inspiration for this song is a movie, not Kako. ”

"What movie?"

"Roman holiday."

"This movie seems to be a favorite movie of Kako Sueyoshi, and there are discs of Roman holidays in her apartment."

Shirakawa said.

"Well, Kako and I both love this movie."

Takashi Katano said.

"So, you didn't write "Butterfly Change" at all, right? It was written by Kako Sueyoshi, was it? ”

Shirakawa suddenly looked up and met Katano Takayuki's eyes.

Katano Guizhi's cold sweat poured out from his forehead.

""Butterfly Change" was written by me, how could it be written by Kako, although she is very talented, she is not as good as her teacher."

"Oh? Then did you know that Miss Kako had a video call with her mother last night? She also showed her manuscript to her mother, and her mother is the best proof that you plagiarized her work. ”

Shirakawa said firmly.

Katano really didn't expect Kazuko Sueyoshi to have a video call with her mother, let alone show her manuscript to her mother.

"Kako is a vain woman, and in order to show off to her family, she often uses my work to say that she wrote it, but in fact she just provides inspiration."

Takashi Katano said.

"So you really wrote this song "Butterfly Change"?"

"Of course, no one but me can write about it."

""Winter Heart", "First Love", "White Sand" and "Snowman" are also written by you?"

"Of course."

"Then you must know the connection between these five songs, right?"

Shirakawa looked at Katano Kizhi with a smile.

"Contact?"

Katano was stunned again, what is the connection between these five songs? Kako Sueyoshi didn't tell him at all!

"Yes, the inner connection."

Shirakawa said.

"They are all expressing a yearning for pure love, and this is the inner connection."

Katano said stubbornly.

"Tsk, Mr. Katno-sama, it seems that you were still put on the spot by Miss Sueyoshi."

Shirakawa said suddenly.

Katano Guizhi frowned and looked at Shirakawa angrily, "What do you mean?" ”

"The penultimate lyrics of these five songs can be linked together, and the combination is, 'Katano-kun, do you love me or my talent, are you satisfied with the lyrics I wrote for you?' ”

"How, how is it possible!"

Takashi Katano suddenly stood up excitedly and looked at Shirakawa in disbelief.

"Mr. Katano, you actually ran out of inspiration 2 years ago, and couldn't write any decent lyrics, until Miss Katako appeared, she didn't bring you new inspiration, but directly became your ghostwriter, helping you write a lot of popular lyrics, recently she wanted to release "Butterfly Change" in her own name, but you refused, under your dispute, she said that she wanted to expose your true face, and you were killed by mistake! Am I right? ”

Shirakawa said sharply.

"Shut up, you're slandering! You have no proof at all! When Kako jumped off the building, I wasn't there at all, and there were people from the studio who could testify for me. ”

Katano is so expensive that the green tendons on his forehead bulge out, and his cheeks are red.

Shirakawa took another sip of coffee,

"Do you think I have no evidence and will directly accuse you?"

"What evidence?"

"Miss Kako is beautiful, talented, and in good shape, and she is also very popular in the same period."

"What do you mean?"

"Because of this, she often receives gifts, such as stuffed animals."

“？”

Katano looked at Shirakawa in bewilderment.

Bai Chuan said slowly, "With a pinhole camera, in order to peek at her stuffed animals, we just found one in her apartment, and the footage of you killing her was unfortunately all recorded. ”

Katano sat down in his chair with a slump of his ass, he really didn't expect this.

"Can you explain now?"

Shirakawa asked.

Shiraki Saya was slightly stunned, in fact, the police had not found any plush toys at all, and Shirakawa was purely scamming the film.

Katano covered his head with his hands and said bitterly,

"Xiangzi, this woman is so dissatisfied, I have obviously bought her a house, a brand-name bag, a car, she can give whatever she wants, but she wants more! She wants to replace me, she wants to replace me with "Butterfly Change"! I can't tolerate this, I killed her, she did it all on herself, if she wasn't so greedy, I wouldn't have done it at all! ”

"Mr. Katano, it's you who is not satisfied, she has been your gunman for 2 years, but you are still not satisfied, and you want to keep her as your shadow."

Shirakawa looked at Katano Kizhi coldly.

Katano Takato's face was distorted, and he roared towards Shirakawa,

"You don't understand at all! The lyrics she wrote would be worthless without me! ”
