Chapter 9 Chapter 9 The Dark Ending

Mozi's lawyer came to Rising Sun Hill from Tokyo, and Michihiko drove to Gotemba to meet him. As soon as Shuzhi and Zhong Ping came back from the police station, they went back to their respective rooms.She was not allowed to see Mo Zi, but just entrusted the criminal police to bring her the things.As a result, Shuzhi's mood became more and more depressed, and she was almost supported by Zhong Ping to go home.And after she came back, she went straight into the bedroom on the first floor, and she didn't even come out to see Daoyan off when he went out.Usually in Tokyo, whenever her husband wants to go out, she always sends him to the gate.Her appearance somewhat made people feel a little "passed", and it seemed that she was extremely exhausted physically and mentally.

Zhong Ping went up to the second floor, but for some reason there was no movement at all, and it didn't look like he bought it. In the sunny living room, only Chunsheng was sitting on the sofa, pacing up and down the room occasionally.After the sky cleared, the temperature immediately rose, and the snow in the yard gradually melted. The water droplets flowing down from the eaves and branches reflected a crystal clear luster, and Chunsheng unconsciously squinted his eyes. In the shadows of the bushes and gateposts around the yard, there were often men in parkas and blazers peering into the yard, with cameras around their necks and men ringing doorbells.It looks like a reporter who intends to take a chance and let the family members know something about the situation.At this time, Chunsheng always hid behind the curtains and ignored no one until these people gave up and left.

She felt very bored after sitting on the sofa for a long time, so she stood at the window and watched the reporters coming and going. Ah, stop thinking about it, it's time to show your courage for Mo Zi... She walked out of the living room, went to the corridor, walked through the billiard room and the small reception room, and walked to the door of Doyan and Shuzhi's bedroom. Chunsheng stood in front of the door, adjusted his breathing, and then knocked lightly on the door. When no one answered, she knocked again. "who is it?" Finally heard Shuzhi's hoarse voice.

"I'm Chunsheng. I have something to do..." There was a pause inside, "Let's talk about it later, I'm really tired right now." "I know that. But there are almost no one else in the family at the moment, and it will be too late to lose this opportunity." Chunsheng didn't use threatening words, but said to Shuzhi directly. There was no answer from inside again, but the door opened a crack, and Chunsheng was let in by Shuzhi with loose hair and wearing a jacket. Then she turned around and closed the door again, and put the latch on. "I'm so sorry!"

Shuwei ignored Chunsheng's apology, and pointed to the sofa with a stiff expression. "Please sit down." Chunsheng sat across from Shuzhi, looked at her face again, and then couldn't help but look elsewhere.Shuzhi's eye sockets were black, her eyes were red, and her face was covered with age-appropriate wrinkles.She looked like she was 10 years older.She is 45 years old this year, which is the age of a plump and mature woman, and should be the age when she devotes all her love to a family. Chunsheng stared at his fingers, opened and closed his mouth.Chunsheng looked at Shuzhi's eyes full of fear, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I shouldn't talk about it, but for Mozi, I still want to tell you something from my heart...Mozi must have been tortured for others. ?”

Hearing this, Shuzhi's chest heaved violently, as if taking a breath of cold air. "I say this for a few reasons. It made me think of it because of what Mozi said to me when she was taken away by the police. She is a lovely girl, but she is charged with unwarranted charges and let It is heartbreaking that Mr. President also suffers such a shameful reputation." So Chunsheng told you what Mozi didn't let her blame, reprimand and guard at that time. "From the look in Mozi's eyes at that time, I instantly understood that Mozi must be innocent. Then who is she scapegoating for? I began to think it was Zhong Ping. I thought, if Mozi didn't like her fiancé, Mr. Zhuofu, then Zhong Is Mo Zi the one she loves?... Sure enough, Mo Zi admires Zhong Ping. However, he... I can't imagine that he would be so cruel to agree to let Mo Zi suffer for him!"

Chunsheng didn't realize that her love and sympathy for Mozi would be so nakedly exposed. Chunsheng stared at Shuzhi sternly again.She was also full of hatred for Shuzhi. "Yes, you know Mozi's kindness, and Mozi will definitely make sacrifices to the people he loves. No, I will never allow you to sacrifice Mozi for your own benefit. Probably... use the president's words about last night. Mozi’s misbehavior is for you, right? Moreover, it was not Mozi who killed the president that night but you! Because you are sure, Mozi will willingly go to jail for you! Because you are real blood relatives Flesh and flesh are companions who absolutely trust each other. After knowing all this, what Mozi fears most is that you will be arrested by the police, so Mozi is willing to take the blame for you; you also understand Mozi's mother-daughter infatuation at this time. I firmly believe that it is you Such a choice was made.”

Shuzhi's face had lost all color, her eyes were blank, and her pale lips were trembling slightly. "At the same time, you believe that as long as Mozi commits a crime, all members of Hejiang's family will do their best to protect her; if the police arrest her, she will probably be given a lighter sentence because she is young and has suffered such abuse. Punishment. You planned all of these. Indeed, everyone did so according to your plan. Mozi also performed very realistically for you. However, the fact is that when Mozi came out of the president's bedroom crying, Chang isn't dead yet, is he?"

"At that time, Mozi injured his left hand, and this effect made people believe that this was a tragedy for Mozi. It can be said that such a cruel fate was paid for by Mozi's desperate efforts..." "shut up!" Suddenly Shuzhi shouted hysterically.She stared at Chunsheng out of breath, and burst into tears. "Stop it! Please...why do you..." "Madam, I don't blame you, but I can't allow you to deceive everyone. Moreover, if you are really doing it for Mozi... you should really think about it calmly. Please think about her future carefully." .”

"Don't say it... don't say it..." Shuzhi suddenly became like a fool, repeating these three words in her mouth.Then he stood up like a blind man, and staggered towards the bed. She fell on the bed at once, and then let out a burst of high-pitched wailing. After about thirty or forty minutes, Chunsheng left Shuzhi's bedroom.Her face, too, had a look of extreme fatigue, mixed with self-blame and bewildered pain. Shouldn't I say that? It can be seen that Shuzhi's self-confidence collapsed before breaking through the door.Chunsheng's words deeply hit the sore spot in Shuzhi's heart, and it can be said that she has been completely shaken.You fell down on the bed, so sad that you couldn't care about anything else, she just kept crying, did you still have unspeakable pain in your heart?

However, despite this, Shuzhi's mind is still very clear.Soon she regained her composure, and she didn't answer Chunsheng's question.He closed his eyes tightly, resisting the pain in his heart, and remained steadfast in silence. Chunsheng had no choice but to walk through the empty living room to the living room, and then she seemed to want to escape from the villa full of oppressive atmosphere.She opened the door, and a gust of cold wind immediately blew in, wrapping her body tightly.The strong optical cables on the snow in the yard made her suddenly stunned. What's wrong? ...Does it have to be like this to Shuzhi... Chunsheng suddenly felt that the strong light on the snow made her unable to open her eyes. She stopped, raised her head, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but let out a soft "ah". It turned out that standing at the door was the Zhongli Youjing Police Department wearing a raincoat and a pair of long street clothes.He has a tall figure, a round face, a typical masculine "cut" haircut, slender eyebrows and eyes, with a kind and pleasant expression.His pair of muscular hands stroked his belly habitually, which made Chunsheng blurt out involuntarily: "I just want to see the police department today?" After hearing this, Zhongli smiled, "I also have something to tell you. But before that, I have to ask Mrs. Shuzhi a few questions." "Ah, but... not today." Zhongli looked at Chunsheng puzzled. "why?" "Actually, I was too rude and said something too irritating to her. She is angry." Nakasato was silent, staring at the curtains of that room as if he wanted to see through the living room.Then he turned to Chunsheng's face and asked, "Really? Then I can wait a little longer." As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from the pocket of his raincoat. "How's Mozi?" "Ah, she is quite strong. The investigation and evidence collection is very calm to her, and she is worthy of..." Zhongli said calmly, but Chunsheng's words were full of complicated meanings. "I heard that Miss Mozi is your junior, a member of the drama group of Women's University?" Chunsheng was startled, then nodded. "Wait a little longer and let Mrs. Shuzhi recover better." "Yes. Maybe she'll be better in a while." After thinking about it, Nakasato lit his cigarette and walked to the front and back yards. "The car was parked just below, and I was afraid that the reporters would stare at me." Chunsheng followed Zhongli and walked over.When they walked through the locust tree and white leaf tree in the yard, and came under a street lamp in the backyard, Chunsheng said suddenly: "If you let Mrs. Shuzhi talk, you will definitely see the murderer's reaction." When Chunsheng returned to the villa again, it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon.On the halfway of Mount Fuji, there is a circle of lush pine forests, and there is a winding road, all of which have been shrouded in cold night.Only on the hillside a little to the west, the larch forest there still has a faint sunset red, and it looks more or less alive. A Mercedes-Benz sports car was parked in the front yard of the villa.It seems that Michihiko's car hasn't come back yet.He said that after picking up a lawyer from Tokyo at Gotemba, he went directly to the Fuji Five Lakes Police Station.And asked the lawyer to see Mo Zi. But it seems that the lawyer has already asked the Tsurumi police department about the relevant matters in detail on the phone. When Chunsheng was taken back to the police station by Zhongli, Daoyan and the handsome middle-aged lawyer came out just in time. Daoyan was very surprised when he saw Chunsheng.Hearing that Chunsheng also came to see Mozi, his expression relaxed and he said, "Please encourage her more."From his expression, Chunsheng didn't seem to have much problem with Mozi. Afterwards, Daoyan took the lawyer to a hotel on the shore of the lake, where he seemed to be discussing countermeasures.Maybe the villa is too inconvenient, so he decided to let the lawyer live in the hotel. In the current villa, only the living room, living room and Zhong Ping's room are still lit.Chunsheng just came back from a walk outside.When she walked to the door, she suddenly found a figure shaking on Zhong Ping's window. The first floor was silent.Now besides Chunsheng, only Shuzhi and Zhongping are left in this villa. Chunsheng stepped on the thick carpet to the second floor.She came to her room, turned on the light, and sat quietly on her bed.Because she just came back from a walk on the snow, she felt relaxed all over her body, but she was always tense mentally for some reason.It seemed that there was another kind of unsteady throbbing from the depths of my heart. She held her breath and pricked up her ears eagerly.Between the rooms of Mozi and Zhuofu is the room where Zhong Zi lives, and the sound in his room should not be heard.But she still felt a little strange—she couldn't peek, but vaguely felt that she should try to listen as much as possible, so she quieted down with all her attention. Sure enough, she heard the door of Zhong Ping's room slamming.Chunsheng stood up all of a sudden. She walked out.Standing in the corridor, the carpet "absorbed" the sound of her footsteps. She quietly came to the door of Zhongzi's room and put her ear on the door. There was a woman's voice and a strange panting sound inside. "...please, sir... at this time... there is no one else but us..." It's Shuzhi! "Please! Just a little bit, let me relax... hug me, I can't take it anymore... I don't think I can take it anymore, I'm going to collapse..." "Sookie!" The lowered voice was naturally Zhong Ping. "Okay, sir, give me a good hug... I can't stand it anymore..." Then Chunsheng heard the sound of undressing, and she couldn't help imagining Shuzhi's plump and mature female body in her mind. "Sir, I will never forget you, I am all for you! No matter how much sacrifice I make, I am all for you..." "Shuzhi..." "Don't say anything... Now I just ask you to hold me well... Ah, yes, it's like this... But, don't betray me... I'm already like this, don't disappoint my sincerity... I Never to you..." "Don't say anything...you have to be careful, misfortune comes out of your mouth..." "Okay, but no one can hear... I'm just for Mr.... Yes, give me a big hug... Please, sir, don't leave me..." Shu Zhi's voice, full of infatuation and love, gradually turned into a crying voice. Chunsheng heard it clearly.She couldn't help being stunned.She imagined Shuzhi's infatuated look at this time in her mind-so the woman Chunsheng trusted was actually a duplicity?On the surface, she is harmonious and beautiful, but behind the scenes, she is not the way of a wife! The enemy will be exposed sooner or later... The words of the Zhongli Police Department echoed in Chunsheng's mind again. After the 5th and 6th of the first month, the number of tourists visiting the lakeside in the mountains of Xuriqiu became less and less as time went by.This area has returned to the deserted and lonely tranquility of winter. At 9:30 on the night of January 6th. Chunsheng was wearing a fur-lined Burberry raincoat and walked downhill towards the villa complex. On the evening of the 3rd, the villas and nurseries that were lit with lights and murmured words from time to time have now quietly disappeared.Because the snow water that melted during the day freezes again at night, you can hear the "squeak" of your feet stepping on the thin ice when walking on the road. Voice.Under the sky full of stars, the air looks more and more fresh and piercing. There are only a handful of lights on in the Lakeshore Hotel. Chunsheng straightened up the collar of his coat, and shivered again.She stepped on the road carefully, and slowly walked across the bridge at the intersection of Xuri Hill.Chunsheng walked for a while on the street where there was hardly anyone there, and then he came to the naturally descending slope on the left side of the lake. There are several small boat rental houses with balconies on the shore of the lake, and there are still several fishing boats hanging in the lake.But in winter, ice skates are installed on the bottom of these boats, which can be used for skating on the lake or fishing on the ice.But at this time, no one will come fishing. Chunsheng walked towards those small houses.Although there is no wind, the frozen lake still makes people feel chilly. The feet in the boots were numb. She stopped in front of a hut on the farthest east, and looked at her watch under the faint starlight: 9:43.Probably arrived early.Don't panic, Chunsheng tried to comfort himself, but he was still a little nervous. She leaned against the wall of the hut. It was eerily quiet all around.There was of course no wave to be heard on the frozen lake, and no sound at all.It's just that the lights of the roads in the distance are moving regularly from far to near, and from near to far. Chunsheng looked up at the starry night sky.To calm herself down, she took another deep breath of the cold air, but suddenly she felt as if she was frozen from the inside out. The cold and extreme tension made Chunsheng feel like he was about to lose consciousness, and his mind went blank.In this vacuum of night, you can only look up and see the stars.Chunsheng couldn't help being a little confused, why did he come here?Or they don't know whether they still exist in this world at all. An indescribable sadness and sorrow surged in her heart... Why is it like this? No, take courage...don't be afraid! By the way, while no one is coming at this moment, adjust your mood immediately... Suddenly, Chunsheng saw a medium-sized car coming from the direction of the slope.The car left the shore of the lake and drove down, coming quickly.Chunsheng dodged to the side in fright, and the car suddenly stopped in front of her. The door opened, and a tall man got out of the driver's seat.He walked around the front of the car towards Chunsheng.At this time, Chunsheng still couldn't tell who was coming. The tall man was wearing a black leather jacket, his profile illuminated by the headlights of passing trucks. The man's appearance didn't quite match his rough-hewn jacket... Chunsheng suddenly regained a little consciousness... "What do you want to say to Shuzhi?" the man asked sharply. His cold eyes stared at Chunsheng's face.Chunsheng wanted to speak, but his tongue was stiff and he couldn't speak. "It's too cold here, tell me in the car!" "No, it's still outside..." "No, let's go to the car!" As he spoke, he opened the passenger seat door and pushed Chunsheng's shoulder from the side.He was not that rough, but Chunsheng also felt that this man seemed to be very powerful. Be calm...don't talk nonsense. After Chunsheng sat on the assistant's seat, he wanted to escape from the car. And the man walked quickly to the driver's door. I don't care in the car, if it takes time... But before Chunsheng could think it over, the man suddenly drove the car quickly.The car drove up the slope just now, turned into the road again, and then drove east.Chunsheng didn't even have time to look back, so he could only sit carefully. "where to?" "Across the lake there is a high spot from which you can see everything." He replied in a cadence.It seemed that he was concentrating on driving at this very moment, while observing Chunsheng's expression from the rearview mirror from time to time.It seems that Chunsheng wants to leave him as soon as possible.As a result, Chunsheng felt even more guilty, his consciousness was a little confused, and his heartbeat became more and more violent. "Shuzhi and I have something to talk about, but how could it be you..." "She was so tired that she fell asleep on the bed. She received your letter, but she said she didn't understand the meaning of your letter, so let me listen to what you want to say..." After the car circled to the east side of the lake, his tone softened somewhat. "No, Mrs. Shuzhi is going to see Mozi right now, and she is at the police station; she let you read my letter before this, and you discussed what to do..." In the evening of that day, Chunsheng wrote a letter to Shuzhi. After the incident, at dawn, I was awakened by the sound of a door being scraped against the balcony.I felt a little strange, so I got up and went to the window to look around.I saw a figure walking back from the president's bedroom.But I still don't understand how that happened to this day.Maybe it was the voice I heard in my dream.But this afternoon, after seeing your real pain, I gradually understood.You pushed Mo Zi out as a stand-in for your own safety.You also performed in it.You pretended that you killed the president and deceived Mozi, but in fact you deceived yourself.The person I saw at dawn must be the one who killed the president and instigated you to make Mozi a "scapegoat"!I haven't told anyone about this matter yet, what to do next, I think, only me and I have to discuss it... Chunsheng appointed to meet at 10 o'clock tonight in the shade of the rental boat cabin by the lake.This place is definitely not going to be seen. "I don't think Mrs. Shuzhi will keep hiding it from now on. She must turn to the person behind it for help. That person is you!" "This afternoon, I heard Mrs. Shuzhi's lingering words to Mr. Zhong Ping outside the door, and my heart was shaken at once. However, this is a play deliberately performed for me to hear, and you must insist on concealing it until the end. Means. Mrs. Shuzhi did this to cover you. Mo Zi believed that Mrs. Shuzhi killed the chairman, so he willingly acted as a substitute. And you skillfully manipulated them to realize your ambition." He Jiang Daoyan didn't answer a word.The car sped north again from the east side of the lakeshore.The mountains of black crows pressed against the front window glass of the car, and the lights of the cars on the opposite side flickered from time to time.Chunsheng was trembling all over because of the anger, she tried to calm herself down and continued: "I usually heard from Mozi that you take your research work very seriously. This makes me see what role you played in this incident." Role. You have an ambition, which is to complete the research of genetic engineering, and rely on Hejiang Pharmaceutical Company to make your research results into social products. For this reason, you want to kill those who oppose the realization of your ambition, and then According to normal circumstances, after the death of the chairman, three-quarters of his property will be inherited by Shizi, and the remaining one-fourth will be distributed by other people who have the right to inherit, and Shuzhi's share of inheritance is One twelfth, especially the ambition to turn the company into itself, is hopeless. "So you made it someone else's business, you talked to a jurist, and a very diabolical and very ingenious plan arose. Taking advantage of the presence of all the heirs, you first yourself Killed the president. To prevent his blood from splashing on you, you may have put a dagger on him. Then you called Suk Chi and begged her to save you. Because if found, he must be a murderer, and will be sentenced to severe punishment; but if Mozi commits the crime, and she tells it to resist the president’s insult to her, then everyone will sympathize with her and protect her. So all the staff unanimously called the police and said that the crime was caused by foreign gangsters. If the police Mozi will not be arrested if he can't see through this 'disguise'. As long as all the staff cooperate, no one will suspect that Mozi did it. "Besides, in order for Mozi to be willing to act as a substitute, she must think that it belongs to her mother's son. Because if you let her act as a substitute, maybe she won't agree, right? "Ms. Shuzhi, Miss Mozi and you, you all love each other deeply. But instead of you being arrested, it is better to let Mozi replace you, because Mozi is less responsible for the crime, and the blow to the whole family is not too big. Your perfect tongue has finally convinced Mrs. Shuzhi, who loves you deeply and works hard to take care of this family. "But you left the president's bedroom like an outsider. Then Shuzhi called Mozi to the president's bedroom, saying that she had accidentally killed the president when she was insulted. In order to protect her mother, Mozi willingly Standing forward, she pulled out the dagger stuck in the president's chest, and the blood spattered onto Mozi's clothes. "So the first scene was staged in front of the audience. That night, as soon as Miss Mozi walked out of the president's bedroom, she threw herself on the ground and cried, 'I killed grandpa'. Of course we believed this scene. And the real Before the performance, you convinced Mrs. Shuzhi, and she deceived Miss Mozi, this is the real first scene." Daoyan was still holding the steering wheel wordlessly, Chunsheng couldn't see what was going on in his mind.Michihiko just had a cruel gleam in his eyes in his honest expression.The car finally reached the north shore of Yamanakako and started to climb uphill.The lights of a car could hardly be seen in the front and back, and the darkness of the deep mountains oppressed the window glass.Terror and despair made Chunsheng's spirit extremely tense. "We listened to what Mozi said, and of course we worked hard to design the scene of the crimes committed by foreign gangsters. This is also one of your plans. However, you have another insidious plan. On the one hand, you let everyone work hard to disguise, but on the other hand Destroy these camouflages one by one. For example, the footprints on the snow were deliberately reversed, and flour was sprinkled on the ground, so that the police could see the flaws and found the pair of sneakers. Stealing the cut-out stomach tube, all this It was your trick. You finally forced Mo Zi to the 'real' sinner bit by bit, and achieved your goal. At the same time, your plot to get all the property of the president has failed." At this time, Daoyan muttered something, maybe Chunsheng's exposure hit his heart. "The Zhongli Police Department explained the provisions of the civil law on the loss of heir qualifications, so everyone hoped to confess all this as soon as possible. The next morning, Mr. Zhuofu took out (the complete book of six laws) and read the relevant chapters for everyone. At that time, I paid special attention to Therefore, I especially hope to explain everything to the police as soon as possible. I am still very impressed with this point. ——Article 891 of the Civil Code stipulates that 'everyone who is the following veterans cannot obtain the right of inheritance'. "The second item is explained as, 'Those who know that the decedent was killed but do not report or prosecute the murderer. Except for those who cannot identify the murderer, or the murderer is their spouse or immediate family member'. Among the 7 people who carried out the disguise work , only Ms. Shizi, Mr. Afan and Mr. Zhuofu are the legal heirs. If the disguise is discovered and Mozi is arrested by the police, they will apply the second item and lose their right of inheritance. Because they know that the decedent was killed and the murderer Who is it, but it has not been exposed. It's just... By the way, there is a fourth person, Shuzhi, who is also one of the heirs. She is the immediate family member of the murderer and the mother of Mozi, so although she also participated in protecting her daughter , but not in the list of canceling the right of inheritance.———Exactly what you hoped for. Among all family members, if Mozi killed the president under such circumstances, they would all sympathize with her and would not expose it. You have already grasped this point. And once it becomes the current situation, you will expose the evidence of "Mozi's crime" to the police step by step. In this way, except for the Hong Kong school, the rest of the heirs will be at loss The status of inheritance rights. Of course, the result is that only Shuzhi gets the inheritance right. Moreover, once it becomes Shuzhi's property, isn't it the same as yours? "You must have directed this drama so meticulously. It is a drama that uses the whole family to perform on stage to achieve your goal. Because you predicted that the whole family would absolutely love Mozi. But you didn't expect that Yes, as an outsider, I suddenly came to the villa, which made you feel uneasy. When you greeted me in the living room on the evening of the 3rd, I felt a puzzled and unhappy look on your face .Your feelings are easy to express. Perhaps you intend to appear a simple scholar, but unfortunately, it is part of your instinct, which you cannot subtly conceal..." Suddenly, Chunsheng's words were interrupted. The interior of the car was pitch black, like the dark night sky, dead silent. The hands on the dashboard gradually moved away, and with the turning of the head, the distant lights flashed on Daoyan's face.The lights probably belonged to the houses on the other side of the lake.Through the thin woods, it seems that the distant mountains and vague folk buildings can be seen. There are several thick trees in front of the car.The lake is at the foot of the mountain.At this moment, the car seemed to be parked on a small cliff beside the road.Since the car lights are all off, the surroundings are pitch black. When the eyesight gradually adapts to the darkness, you can "see" the general outline of the surrounding objects. "Please get out of the car." Daoyan ordered in a low voice, but Chunsheng did not move. "go out!" Doyan's words clearly carried a threatening tone. Chunsheng slowly opened the car door, and her heart began to beat violently again. If you're not calm right now... Chunsheng got out of the car, and the trees in front of him were sparse.There is no lake water here, which makes people feel that this is a slope with a large drop. This is what Chunsheng judged based on the thick trunk. Daoyan's shadow came to the car again, walking towards Sheng.The car is parked facing the lake. Daoyan came to a place two meters away from Chunsheng.They couldn't see each other's faces clearly, but could feel each other's silhouette and rapid breathing. "Is that all you want to say?" "Yes. Please surrender yourself immediately." Chunsheng shouted instinctively.She was worried that if she didn't "threat" the other party loudly, the danger would come soon. "The facts of your crime are very clear, and there is no way to escape. I think you should hurry up..." Daoyan smiled coldly, "There is still a way out." His tall shadow took another step closer to Chunsheng. "It's useless for you to kill me! The Zhongli Police Department also knows about my coming here today!" "That's right, but he only knows about the boat rental cabin by the lake. I expected you to do this, so I came here first, and then brought you right away. When I came, there was no sign of the police department and And the car!—how did you make an appointment with the police?" "I said to use Shuzhi as bait to lure out the hidden murderer." Chunsheng exaggeratedly said loudly. "Now she can only delay," Shuzhi couldn't take it anymore, she would definitely ask the person behind the scenes for help, so that person must show up... Even if he doesn't show up, it will be out of gratitude She killed Shuzhi out of consideration for her own safety.Just in case, I wrote a letter to her, and the police will come there, because she will come anyway because of Mozi... After Chunsheng put the letter to Shuzhi on the table in her bedroom, Michihiko returned to the villa after this. Of course, before that, Shuzhi who sneaked out of Zhonghu's room had already returned to her room. Then, around 9:30, Zhongli sent someone to pick up Shuzhi and took her to the police station. Therefore, Shuzhi herself was unable to rent a boat cabin.Thus, the possibility increased: she showed the letter to the real murderer, and told him to go directly to the place Chunsheng designated.After seeing him, Chunsheng will let him know that he has seen through his tricks, and will persuade him to surrender.If the other party wanted to harm Yu Chunsheng, the Zhongli Police Department, who was watching all this from a distance, would arrest the murderer on the spot.However, if Chunsheng arrives at the designated place early, he may fall into Doyan's clutches... "So you set up a surveillance network. If Shuzhi is desperate, the man who has been manipulating her behind her back will definitely be exposed..." "Yes. And you're 'netted'." Hearing this, Dohiko waited. "Didn't you realize what you said was wrong? You wrote in your letter that on the morning of the incident, you saw a person coming out of the president's bedroom at dawn. If what you said is true, Then shouldn't you know who it is? Then there is no need to set up any more 'nets', just take that person away, right? Maybe you did hear the door on the balcony slamming that night, but you I have no idea who did that!" "If you don't know, then neither should the police department. In fact, I came here to prove it. You can rest assured." As he said that, Daoyan took another step closer to Chunsheng.Behind Chunsheng is a steep slope and a few sparse trees. The direction of the road was also as dark as a cauldron, so that nothing could be seen. "It's...it's too late...kill me...your crimes will be exposed soon." "No, there is fast flowing water below, and the lake is not completely frozen. If you fall off the cliff, you will die immediately. And the body will float under the ice along the water, and will not be found immediately." "Even if it is discovered many times, there is no evidence that I killed it!" "No... really... it will definitely be exposed..." "Then let's try. Because I have only this way." Daoyan squatted down while speaking, and he preached beside Chunsheng in a crisp voice. "For me, it's a job I have to do. And that's what I do; once I start, I have to finish. It's my calling, too." At this moment, suddenly a bright light came over, and the light dangled between the trees.This beam of light shone from the opposite direction from where Chunsheng and the others came, and a car was driving towards here.The two silver lights stopped shaking when they approached Daoyan's car, and the lights gradually shone on Daoyan's body. Daoyan is stretching out his hands and rushing towards Chunsheng like a wild beast.The pair rushed Zhong Ping out of the "Mercedes" car. Chunsheng resisted desperately, but she was suddenly pushed by Daoyan, and she rolled down the slope.She hit the trunk of a pine tree on the slope, and stopped with her feet resting on something.At this time, Daoyan and Zhong Ping had already fought into a ball, and then pushed each other away, facing each other out of breath. "This is your last chance. I convinced Shuzhi. It can be said that she betrayed you. To put it mildly, it is her credit. I convinced her before the police found her door. .Shuzhi can make all sacrifices for her husband, but you trampled on her true feelings and used her as your shield. You only care about yourself, and for the first time, I saw your true face." The pair of Daoyan suddenly stared behind Zhong Ping.Another car stopped behind Zhong Ping's car, and Zhongli and Shuzhi stepped out of the car.Daoyan, Chunsheng and Zhongping all looked at their arrival in surprise. "Mrs. Shuzhi finally woke up!" 中里警部沉着冷静的声音打破了寂静的夜空。 “你是我真心相信的、拼命也要为你牺牲的人…” 淑枝用一块黑色的长披肩包住了头，她身上穿了一件像披风一样的大衣，紧紧地裹在身上。她那张棱角分明的脸直直地冲着丈夫，瞪大了眼睛一动不动地盯着道彦的表情。 淑枝用出人意料冷静的脚步慢慢地走向道彦。 "you" 她的声音没有变化，依然是那样充满了爱意。 “你…晚上8点钟，你把我叫到舅舅的卧室里。他的胸口上插着一把水果刀，他已经死了。你是这样说的。你把你的研究课题和会长进行了讨论，但会长突然火了，挥动着水果刀朝你fLit来。你无法躲避，就和会长搏斗起来，结果反而把他扎死了。你担心别人不相信。但我相信！而且我还答应了你的请求，我答应说是我的过失，并让摩子替我顶这个罪名。是吗？你只是这次对我讲了真话。你杀死舅舅纯属于偶然，可这难道不是一次有计划的谋杀吗？” 道彦也眨着眼睛看着自己的妻子。他那粗重的眉毛和高鼻子的脸庞，常给人一种诚实、敦厚的印象，而此时却让人觉得有一种不可思议的神色，他的口角歪斜，脸上露出了一副奇怪的笑容。 “不是这么回事儿吧？”道彦终于冷笑着说了一句话，“如果周密的计划还没有决出胜负呢？” “啊……是的。我终于明白了！” 淑枝还是非常平静地点了点头，最后一句是她向中里警部说的。 她又朝道彦走近了一步。她对这位比她小的丈夫抱以温柔的笑容，然后像要为他遮挡寒冷似地展开了披肩盖在了他的身上，然后紧紧地拥抱着道彦。 她一直搂着道彦。过了一会儿才和他分开，因为道彦一点点地向地上滑下去。 他的头颓然地垂向了地面，身上的鲜血喷流到了地上，根枝的右手握着一把细长的匕首。 这天夜里的调查取证结束时，已经是1月7日凌晨1点半了。 几乎是和与兵卫一样，一刀就刺中了心脏，也是当场毙命。于是淑枝因杀人而被当场逮捕。迅速赶来的富士五湖警察署的警车将道彦的尸体和淑枝送到了署里。 钟平和春生也被要求随时到署里接受调查和取证。 春生向中里和鹤见两位警部详细说明了她在租船小屋前被道彦拉上汽车以后的事情。 “一步走错便失去了目标，找到你时就费了半天工夫！” 春生讲完了的时候中里低头向春生道歉。 “要是我们早一点儿来布置人员监视就好了。” “不，我走得也早了一点儿。” 不过，还是钟平及时赶来，我才… 刹那间的一场惨剧结束后，把春生从悬崖拉上来的也是钟平。春生的双手被他那温暖而有力的双手紧紧握着，使她复苏了女人的感情，并引起了一阵阵的冲动。 春生在车里对道彦讲的推理，正是事前中里和春生长时间谈话、分析的结果。 最终的事实证明，还是淑位“背叛”了道彦才起了决定性的作用。 “今天夜里太累了，请先回别墅休息吧。”结束了听证的中里对钟平和春生说道，“一会儿我们向署长说明情况，办理一下释放摩子小姐的手续。” 从他的口气中得知，中里还没有来得及将这些事情向相浦署长汇报。 “手续办完之后是不是可以去接摩子小姐？万一她知道了事实真相后，会不会又一次受到打击？请你们考虑。” 春生坐在车的助手席上，钟平开着车渐渐远去。中里看着远去的红色尾灯默默目送着。当看不见车灯之后他才回过了头，和站在身后的鹤见警部对视了一下目光，然后两个人都露出了无可奈何的苦笑。 “啊，我们还剩下一个难题啦！” “可不是，就是如何向署长解释呀！” “这可是第四次撤回案情发布会上的结论了！” 中里抚摸着由于连日紧张工作而“塌陷”了的肚子，对鹤见说了句“那么”，就朝署里走去。 “奔驰”在深夜的国道上飞驰着，然后从山中湖的西岸驶入旭日丘。钟平一口气驶上了别墅小区的坡道。树上溶化的雪结成了冰凌，像是一棵棵银树一样从春生的眼前逝过。 钟平在思考着什么吧，他紧皱双眉，厚厚的嘴唇也紧紧地绷着，一言不发地开着车。春生心中也有许多许多的话要说，但她明白现在说什么也不是机会。只有两束车灯，像梦一样淡淡地渗透到她的心灵之中。 当车开到可以看到别墅后院的那盏路灯的时候，钟平减低了车速。他非常小心地穿过还积着雪的木栅栏，把车开到了大门旁。 石头的门柱上镶着一块铜制的姓名牌。（WatsUji）的花体罗马字深深地雕刻在其中。第一个大写的字母“W”，在幽蓝的灯光下熠熠闪光。 突然春生记起来，在英语中，女人这个词——“Women”第一个字母也是“W”。 还有那位长年被与兵卫抛弃、而又为了维护这个家族名誉、自己吃尽了苦头的实干；那个有过两次不幸婚姻、真诚地爱着比自己小的丈夫。最终又毁在自己手里的淑枝；还有摩子……受到家族的保护，最终又不得不离开他们，作为女人的烦恼，摩子正是从那个时候开始的吧？ 春生也意识到了自己，人生仿佛就是在银色世界的“黑暗”中苦苦摸索的过程。 “在数学中，'W'是第四个未知数吧？” 钟平突然说了一句。他也在考虑着这个“W”呢？ “在未知数X、Y、Z不够的时候可以使用UVW中的任何一个字母来补充。” “这样说来，这次事件正好有4个杀人嫌疑犯……” 警方的调查第一次指向外来歹徒作案；不久就逮捕了摩子；接着向记者们暗示真正的杀人凶手是淑枝；而且春生也怀疑是淑枝，但最后才出现了一直在暗中操纵着一切的真正的凶手…。 “必须向东京汇报呀！”春生像想起了什么似地说道。 “我刚才借用署里的电话打过了。”钟平说道，“我向实子夫人和阿繁先生讲了事情的经过，两个人在惊讶之余恍然大悟的样子。” “不管怎么说事件是解决了！” “而且继承权全都回到了他们手中。” “对呀，因为摩子不是真正的杀人凶手。” 两个人随便地聊着。实际上这是和他们没有直接关系的话题。 只有那颗立在北欧风貌的尖形屋顶上的蓝色的星状霓虹灯，仿佛在欢迎着他们一样放射着淡淡的、优雅的光泽。别墅的哪个房间里都亮着灯，暖气也都开着，但是这栋曾经在3日那天一下子来了9个人的别墅里，此时此刻只有钟平和春生两个人。 当他们踏进客厅的地毯上时，两个人才情不自禁地同时深深地吐了一口气。 他们迈着急促的步伐上了二楼。4日的清晨，当伪装工作做完后，大家返回各自的卧室时的男队内较宽又一书U他在他们的脑海里复苏了。春生的。动中被一种异样的感觉冲击着。 当来至u她的卧室门前时，两个人同时都站住了。春生推开房门走了进去。 "Good night!" "Good night." 说完了这句话后，两个人还在原地站着，并没有离开。钟平为春生拧动门把手的右手顺势放在了春生的肩头，左手慢慢地绕到了她的背后。刹那间，春生感到了一种快感贯穿了全身，她被强有力的男人臂膀紧紧地搂在了怀中，钟平轻轻地吻在了春生的朱唇上。 第二天早上7点多钟，客厅里的电话铃响了。 春生终于听到了铃声，她慌忙跑下楼拿起了听筒。里面传来了中里警部那亲切的声音。 “昨天太累了吧？休息的好吗？” “嗯……啊……” “其实很快就办完了释放摩子的手续，但她一整夜都没有怎么睡，后来睡着后又不忍心叫醒她，到早晨她还在睡着哪。这会儿她好像刚刚醒过来，我们要对她宣布释放了……请尽快来接她吧。” 义父之死，母亲被捕，知道了这一切的摩子将会是什么样子？如何鼓励她振作起来，已经落在了春生他们的身上了。 正要挂断电话，中里又补充道：“昨天晚上审讯时，淑枝都坦白了……开始道彦在说服让摩子代他受过的时候，说万一摩子因此被捕，他对淑枝说也不会给摩子定什么罪。也就是让摩子说，她'因为受到了与兵卫企图强奸她的威胁才反抗的，而且她对与兵卫说过，如果对自己强行不轨就自杀，并用匕首对准了自己的喉咙；而与兵卫害怕事情弄大，在抢过来匕首时不幸扎中了自己'。如果是这种情况，摩子充其量算'防卫过当'，任何人都不会以此来定罪。不会判'过失致死'罪的。也就是说摩子是无罪的。淑枝相信了他的话才决定让摩子替道彦顶罪。” “但是他对其他7个人可没有说过摩子无罪什么的呀！早知道了这一点，大家也就不会那么拼命地袒护摩子了嘛！” “在摩子被逮捕后，淑枝提出要陪摩子去警察署时，道彦还对她说摩子会无罪释放的。” 春生这才明白道彦之所以这么干，是为了剥夺其他人的继承权，这是他一步一步的诡计。 “当然了，摩子的手上的伤是她为了自杀用匕首划伤的，这一点淑枝没有料到。如果当时摩子死了，也说明她是不忍，让她姥爷背这个可耻的黑锅、要随他而去的意思吧。而且昨天夜里淑校讲，她之所以要杀死道彦，也是因为她明白了这些真相后要向摩子谢罪。” 中里用深深感慨的口气说完了这些。 “在作为女人和母亲之间，淑枝太太的处境也非常为难。” 对于母亲的这种为难，想必摩子一定非常理解。春生忽然这样想道。 接完电话，春生又回到了二楼，在她来到舞厅时停下了脚步。在那面硕大的玻璃上，富士山宛如一幅优美的油画一样镶在其中。在蓝色的天空中，有一道淡淡的朝雾，如同一条洁白美丽的纱巾一样萦绕在富士山的半山腰上，给富士山带来了无限清爽、神秘的生机。 春生屏住呼吸，小心翼翼地凝视着这件大自然的杰作，情不自禁地流下了眼泪。 7点半钟，钟平和她出了家门。春生穿着和来时一样的伯贝里呢的大衣和长筒靴，肩上还是挎着那只女式肩挂小包。 汽车驶到别墅小区的下方时，又可以透过树林看到湖面了。那深蓝色的冰冷的湖面上，一圈圈的白色波浪被牢牢地冻在了那里。 “我在旭日丘交叉路口下车。” 汽车驶入湖岸的公路上时，春生喃喃说道。车停了，春生对不解地看着自己的钟平说道：“还是先生一个人去接摩子吧。还有，她的毕业论文我全部看完了，也请你转告她，因为截止交稿日期还来得及……” 钟子默默地凝视着春生，然后又望了望穿过春生的身后看到的湖面，他像仿佛被湖面晃了眼睛似地皱了皱眉毛。钟平顿了顿之后转过了脸，看着汽车前方，压抑着感情说道：“我还是把你一直送到御殿场中吧。” 说完，钟平的嘴角露出一丝淡淡的微笑，这微笑中有一丝淡淡的哀伤。 “多谢了……但是我还是自己坐公共汽车走吧。” 在步行桥前，春生下了钟平的汽车。她轻轻地踩在雪水融化后结成冰的路面上，朝公共汽车站的候车室走去。
