Chapter 16 Section VI

The two walked into a self-service cafe and sat opposite each other on the second floor by the window. Shang Zai went straight to the point, and asked Kaga how he knew Maki's name, Kaga patted the table with an annoyed look, but his expression was not depressed. "Oh, I did say your wife's name. At that time, I didn't expect to be involved in such a way, and I was a little negligent. But you can see such a small mistake, you are so perceptive." "Implicated? What do you mean?" Shang Zai leaned forward, "Could it be related to Ma Ji? You want to see my kitchen scissors, which is also very strange, please don't hide it from me."

Seeing that Shangzai was in such a hurry, Kaga stretched out his hand, signaling him to be calm. "It's not that serious. I see, so I'll tell you. The cause was a pair of kitchen shears found in the dead man's room." "The kitchen scissors again?" "The kitchen scissors were newly bought, and the packaging of the engraving scissors hadn't been removed. That's why we became suspicious. There was a pair of kitchen scissors in the deceased's room, which wasn't too old, but why did she buy a new one? If it is said to be a gift from someone else, but there is still a price tag attached to it, usually the price tag must be torn off when giving something away.”

"Not bad." Shang Zai nodded. "Later, we found an interesting email in the deceased's computer, which was sent just before the deceased was murdered." Kaga took out the notepad, "It was written like this: 'I bought it, 6,300 yuan, next time Bring it to the store for you.' At first I didn’t think it was scissors, because ordinary scissors were not worth 6,300 yuan. But when I saw the scissors, I realized that 6,300 yuan was the kitchen scissors The price. So I looked at the recipient's name. It was..." "Maki Yanagisawa..." "Yes." Kaga nodded, "The receipt says Yanagisawa store, so I guess Yanagisawa Maki may be the owner's daughter or daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, your wife didn't receive that email. Her mobile phone seems to be set to Became a pattern of rejecting emails. So the deceased should be emailing your wife for the first time, and they probably only recently became acquainted."

"That is to say, Ms. Maji asked that Mitsui to help her buy kitchen scissors?" "I went to your store yesterday out of this idea, but your wife didn't mention it at all. That's why I said implicated." "Then why don't you just ask her directly?" Kaga smiled meaningfully and took a sip of his iced coffee. "The criminal police generally don't let people see their purpose. If the other party has something to hide, you have to wait and see the situation first. And the other party may also have inside information that is inconvenient to tell, such as housework and the like."

Hearing "housework", a thought flashed through Shang Zai's mind. "what……" "What's wrong?" "It's nothing, nothing." Shang Zai drank the iced coffee with a straw. "I don't understand why your wife asked Ms. Mitsui. The carving scissors are nearby, and she can buy them at any time. Besides, why did she buy kitchen scissors? I also checked just now, and your kitchen scissors are fine. I was originally I want her to explain these questions, but I also think there may be some things she can't say in front of you." "I see."

"Do you have any clues?" Kaga stared at Shangya. Shang Zai sighed, and said: "Just now, I remembered something, everyone said that family ugliness should not be publicized, but if you don't say it, it will be difficult to clear up the suspicion..." "You can say what you can. Don't say what you can't say." "I see. It's a little shameful to say it, our family is having trouble..." Kaga was surprised when he heard this.When Shangzai talked about the conflict between Maki and Suzue, he actually wanted to talk to someone. "It's a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. What does this have to do with it?"

"You may not know, women are really troublesome. Simply put, they both go to the kitchen, but they don't want to use the same kitchen knife. So many kitchen utensils in my house have two sets, one for my wife and one for my mother. .” "Ah, that's right." Kaga nodded, showing an expression of sudden realization, "So she wants to buy new kitchen scissors." "That's what I think. She didn't want me and my mother to know, so she asked someone else to buy it. The person who carved the scissors also knew her, and would probably tell my mother."

"Well, I see, thank you for telling me this. Are they really that bad?" "It couldn't be worse." Shang Zai curled his lips, "My mother is going to travel next week, and then I can breathe a sigh of relief, so I am looking forward to it now." "Travel? Where are you going?" "In the Ise-Shima area, they also said that they could eat abalone. They were very interested. Maki was very angry after hearing this, and said that he had never been anywhere." "Abalone..." Kaga looked into the distance, deep in thought.
