Sanae returned to the hotel, called Totsukawa on the phone, and begged: "Please let me stay here one more day." "Are you worried about Yuko Naito?" Totsukawa asked. "Because there is no evidence, I thought I would release him within 48 hours, but the Sanda Police Department of the County Police Headquarters is arrogant and confident, so I don't feel at ease." "Don't worry, there will never be forced confessions." "I thought so too. But she was arrested because of my testimony, and I was reprimanded by her husband." "You testified truthfully and have a clear conscience. If she didn't kill someone, she would be released." Ten Jinchuan comforted her.

Even so, Sanae couldn't calm down.If this was Tokyo, she even wanted to collect evidence of Naito Yuko's alibi, but this was impractical, and she felt restless. After eating the next morning, Sanae didn't go to the Takayama Police Station until after 11 o'clock.Because at 11 am, to be precise, it has been 48 hours since Yuko was arrested. As soon as I stepped into the Gaoshan Police Station, I felt that the atmosphere inside was not right. The young detective who was smiling and talking to Sanae the day before also turned his face away and walked past him quickly.Something must have happened.

Sanae found the Mita Police Department and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" Mita's earlier confident expression was gone, and he said wistfully: "She's dead." "Dead?" "Hanged in the detention center. She tore her clothes, twisted it into a rope and wrapped it around her neck, and died." "That's why there's such a strange and flustered atmosphere." Sanae thought, but felt inexplicable again, so she asked, "Why did she commit suicide?" "Of course it's condemned by a sense of guilt."

"Is there any evidence?" Sanae stared at Mita protestingly. "There is a suicide note." "Suicide note?" "Late last night, she said that after some calm thinking, she wanted to write her thoughts out, and asked for writing tools, so she gave her a note and a pen. It was not until this morning that she found out that she had committed suicide, but the note wrote Suicide note. Suicide is very regrettable, but she is the murderer, there is no mistake in that." "Would you please show me the suicide note?" Sanae asked. "Okay. You are also one of the relevant personnel." Mita took out the note and showed it to her.

The suicide note was written on a page of sticky notes and was written with a pen. Sanae read this short suicide note several times. "Who is the last one?" Sanae asked Mita. "Didn't get paid, that's all." "So, isn't it still unclear whether it's the murderer?" Sanae asked again. "I understand how you want to say that. However, it clearly says that you have to apologize to the victim and the victim's wife. If it wasn't the murderer, you wouldn't have written that kind of thing." Sanda replied.
