Such a sudden impact, like an electric current running through my spine, made me shudder.The Asahara Police Department let out a low moan, and rearranged its sitting posture on the chair.Even Master Yuri, who has always seen the whole situation, didn't seem to expect such a move, so he couldn't help blowing a whistle. People will show an extremely relaxed state after revealing the most important things in their hearts, and Mr. Hara Satoshiro is no exception.His eyes showed that his mind was suddenly lost.After a while, he sighed and said. "It's a tragic thing for her to talk about it. I don't think there is anything that can hurt her self-esteem more than talking about it. Even for me, it is a difficult thing. It's something to endure. But I think it's better to tell the truth than to hurt her personality. Yuri, no, Mizuki is a journalist, so I must have heard all kinds of rumors. Like Hara Sakura, she is different from ordinary people. Sexy, out-of-the-ordinary scandals, intricate ambiguous affairs..., people in this society are convinced that it is a fact, and then interpret it as an artist's love affair. But that is not the whole truth. Hara Sakura did not mess with men at all Come on, she has never had any ambiguous relationship with other men, because she can't do it! Then, why are rumors about her love life being spread all over the sky? It's because she deliberately made a fake to misunderstand outsiders. Action. Why did she do that? There is her inhumane secret in it. Yuri, Mr. Police Department, and Mitsuki, listen to me, some women dress themselves up after menopause She is younger and more beautiful, and enjoys the rumors of ambiguous affairs with young men. But as long as a smart person should be able to see through the sadness of that kind of woman, the emptiness and anxiety of being a woman who can no longer have sex And she... Hara Sakura has been like a woman who has passed the menopause all her life. She is extremely ashamed of her natural flaws and tries to hide this secret, which is why her behavior is extra bohemian. For Concealing the secret that she is not a woman physically, she artificially creates a charm that she did not have before, emphasizing that she is a 'woman', and publicizes it in the world in this way, so that people think she is natural A woman. Of course, her personality as an artist and her innate rich imagination also helped her a lot. But the most original reason is her self-esteem that she realizes that she is not a woman and is extremely afraid that this matter will be known by the world It caused her to make these deceitful actions. In the eyes of the insider, what she did was really... really unbearable."

Mr. Satoshiro's voice became softer and softer, until the end his voice was like a gossamer.Hearing this, we couldn't help but sigh at the same time. Hearing this, I suddenly thought of one thing.Hara Sakura's love games are known for their unusually frequent and often changing love partners.But from what I've heard, she never seems to get past the last line of defense.Before that, I had always been skeptical about this statement, but now I finally understand.If Hara Sakura was a normal woman, maybe she wouldn't be so sticking to the last line of defense.No, if she was a normal woman, maybe these problems would not have arisen at all.However, it is precisely because of this physical defect that she is more steadfast and strictly guards the last line of defense.Because if she crossed this line of defense, her fake lovers would definitely discover her secret.Now when I think of Hara Ying's sad mental journey, I can't help feeling sad.

"So that's it, now I finally understand." Even the voice of the police department was full of sympathy. "It turns out that Mrs. Zun is a woman who cannot bear children because of this. When such a woman passes through middle age, she often feels more strongly that she must shoulder the responsibility of being a mother, and Mrs. Zun is no exception. However, her physique is not good at all. The possibility of conception made the desire to have a child even stronger. At this time, the murder of Fujimoto Shoji happened to happen. Fujimoto Shoji did not know who his biological mother was, so Mrs. Fujimoto regarded herself as Fujimoto’s biological mother Mother, derive self-satisfaction from it."

"You are right, no, it should be said that this is just my idea. She is a woman with rich imagination and good at fantasizing, so in the end, maybe she herself fell into the illusion and really thought that she was Fujimoto's biological mother." "Well, actually Sagara thinks so too. However, I still have one thing stuck in my mind." Master Yuli said slowly. "According to Sagara's words, Mrs. Zun suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to be a mother around April this year. Sagara simply thought it was just a matter of age. It is not impossible, but I think there should be other motives. She has been sleeping until now There must be a strong reason for her maternal desire to ignite so suddenly and fiercely. Mr. Yuan, do you have a bottom line in your heart? Did anything happen around Ms. Hara Sakura in April to stimulate her Maternal desire thing?"

Mr. Soichiro suddenly looked at Master Yuri with frightened eyes.It didn't take long for him to look away, just shook his head slightly, and didn't answer much.Master Yuri suddenly leaned forward and said. "Mr. Yuan, I heard that in April, Yu Gong had just joined the group as a manager's assistant, right? It is said that Yu Gong and you are distant relatives, and you personally recommended him to join, right? Mr. Yuan, Yu Gong is considered Who is yours? Could it be..., Yugong could not be your biological son..., your illegitimate son, right?" The shocking shock hit me again.Ah, that's it.No wonder the master mentioned Yugong again and again, it turned out to be the case.I felt my heart beating wildly, as if it was about to burst out of my clothes.Even the Asahara Police Department watched Mr. Satoshiro's every move with a blank face.Mr. Satoshiro grabbed the handle of the chair vigorously, looking like he was about to jump up from the chair.The frantic breath he exhaled was like a gust of storm, sweeping through the tense and heavy air around him.

In the next moment, Mr. Satoshiro suddenly relaxed his whole body, and slumped on the chair as if he had no bones. "Yuri, you already know?" Mr. Soichiro took out a handkerchief and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck. "Already know? No, there is a bit of language error in this statement. I haven't found any physical evidence, and everything is just my inference. Amamiya and your physique and appearance are not similar at first glance, but I have learned from the two of you. I found a very similar commonality between people. If you put the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. together, the overall impression of the two faces is not the same. But if you separate the five senses, you can carefully look at them one by one. Comparing, you will find that you actually look alike. Not only that, but even your gestures and voices are very similar. In addition, when Yu Gong made mistakes and made mistakes, the attitude you showed , the unbearable pain, humiliation, shame... I deduce from these parts that you two may be father and son."

When Master Yuli spoke up to this point, he looked back at me and the police department. "Just now, before Sagara pointed out the 'lie' hidden in the baby photo that looks like Fujimoto, I said that I had already seen through that Fujimoto was not Hara Sakura's illegitimate child. That was not a lie. I said before that I guessed that Amamiya may be your biological son, your illegitimate child. After all, the husband has an illegitimate child, and the wife also has an illegitimate child... This is too coincidental. That's why I think that the part about Ms. Hara Sakura may not be true. When I listened to Ono's confession, this incident strengthened my mind. Ms. Hara Sakura proposed to communicate in a coded form of music scores, and to rent a room in Qingfengzhuang. These actions all appeared shortly after the murder of Fujimoto. This is the period when the newspapers are reporting. If Ms. Hara Sakura is really related to Fujimoto's murder, she should try to avoid doing things like using music scores as a code. And Ms. Hara Sakura should be very clear that Qingfengzhuang is Ono If Ms. Hara Sakura told Ono the truth, she should have avoided the Atago area. However, she did the opposite and deliberately chose Qingfengzhuang. It can be seen that she deliberately designed to let Ono bumped into it, which means she was acting. But I really didn't expect Ms. Hara Sakura to play two roles. I thought that the young man was probably Sagara, right? Probably Ms. Hara Sakura ordered Sagara to perform with her Rivalry. But..."

Master Yuri glanced at Mr. Satoshiro. "Ms. Hara Sakura didn't know Amemiya before April this year?" Mr. Satoshiro nodded feebly. "So, that incident dealt a big blow to Ms. Hara Sakura?" Mr. Satoshiro nodded weakly again, and said sadly: "I never dreamed that this incident would hit her so hard. Her body is in that condition, so she always turns a blind eye to my affair. No matter how many women I hang out with outside , she will never get angry, or say a word of complaint. No, it can even be said to be just the opposite. Whenever I have a new woman, she will take the initiative to make love to each other. She treats me like a big child, On the contrary, she is happy to play the role of my mother or sister. Maybe it is a kind of comfort for her to clean up the aftermath for me. Now that I think about it, I wish I had told her about Amemiya earlier, but At that time, I didn't have the courage to confess to her. Yugong was the child of a maid when I was a student. He was young and ignorant at that time, and he was ashamed to speak up. In addition, Yugong's mother later married into a very Nice family, I think, for her sake, maybe it would be better for both of us not to say anything. But a while ago, Yugong’s adoptive father passed away, and that child was so incompetent, no matter where he went to work, he failed again and again. She was fired. So Amamiya's mother cried and begged Qingzi..., that is, Hara Sakura, to help her hire Amamiya as a manager assistant."

"Did you tell the truth then?" "No, I don't have the courage. Besides, I don't think it is necessary to tell what has been hidden for so long now." "But Mrs. Zun still found out, didn't she?" "Yes. Yuri, just like you noticed. She also relied on a woman's intuition, so she discovered the similarities between me and Amamiya. Under her pressure, I had to confess everything. According to Judging from my previous affair, I thought she wouldn't take it seriously, but I never dreamed that this matter would hurt her heart so much. Qingzi... Yuan Ying is the same as before, she is not angry, and No resentment. However, something worse happened. She cried and sighed and became distraught. She was not mad at me for lying for a long time, but that I had a child outside and she couldn't break free again The shackles of her own flaws made her feel very sad. At that time, she was like a withered flower, becoming sluggish. I think this incident should have caused a strong maternal desire for her to be a mother but could not. stimulus."

"Does Yugong know that you are his father?" "I think he already knew about it. But he has been through the ups and downs of the world, and his attitude towards me is always meticulous and not close. I feel pity for his attitude. After he was killed, I suddenly thought that in this time In the murder case, the reason why Qingzi was treated so cruelly, could it be because of him... Yu Gong? If this is the case, I am really sorry for Qingzi. I can't sleep at night. Yuri, I love Qingzi, she is the person I love most in this world. I think she should love me the same way."

Mr. Satoshiro's eyes dimmed again.Master Yuri amplified the volume a little, and his words were encouraging. "Mr. Yuan, I have one more thing to ask. Didn't you originally plan to leave Tokyo with Mrs. Madam on the morning of the 19th? Why did you postpone your departure until the evening of that day?" "Oh, that incident... I also find it incredible about that incident. Until the morning of the 19th, I still planned to set off with Qingzi. However, about an hour before departure, I received a call N from the industry guild called me, saying that there was something urgent to discuss with me, and I made an appointment to meet at the Saru-ryotei in Tsukiji at 6 o’clock that night. I mentioned this to Kiyoko, and she said that Sagara would accompany her, and she would not I have something to do, and I want to take the train to Osaka that night after I finish my work. When I arrived at the Saru-ryotei in Tsukiji at night, N also came. To my surprise, after the meeting, he smiled and said that he was looking for me I didn't care about other important things. In fact, my wife called him yesterday and said that it was inconvenient for me to go with me because of something, so I hope he can find a reason to keep me in Tokyo until the evening. Hearing his words Said, I was a little surprised, but Kiyoko was born with sex pranks, so I didn't take this matter particularly to heart. I thought, she must be trying to surprise us again... So when I arrived in Osaka, I knew she was missing I wasn’t surprised at all when it happened.” The police department interrupted as if suddenly thinking of something. "By the way, when did you leave the Saruryotei in Tsukiji?" "I think it's about eight o'clock." "Did you go directly to Tokyo Station after that?" "No, it was early and I was walking in Ginza. Just walking around..." "Have you ever run into someone you know on your walks?" "No, not one... Oh, you're looking into my alibi, right? If so, unfortunately, I can't come up with a perfect alibi." A tired smile appeared on Mr. Satoshiro's face. "Did you stay in the hotel room on the morning of the 20th and didn't go out?" "Yes. Because I couldn't sleep on the night train, I stayed in the room to catch up on sleep. However, there is nothing suspicious about it? Even if I want to pretend to be in the room, it is impossible to try to sneak out of the hotel .” The police frowned in confusion. "Thank you for your answer. Then, our question will stop here. I may ask you to come forward to confirm a few things later, and I will trouble you then." Mr. Satoshiro nodded to Master Yuri, stood up from the chair with difficulty, and walked out staggeringly. "What the hell is going on here?" When Mr. Soichiro walked away, the police department immediately spit out this sentence. "Are you referring to the relationship between the murder of Shoji Fujimoto and this murder?" I followed the words of the police department and asked. "It seems like it would be better to treat them as unrelated first." "In a word, is this a fantasy born of the artist's romantic feelings...? We can't do this. Except for Ms. Hara Sakura, it is the same for both Sagara and Ono. These troupe members are a bit Don't eat fireworks." "That's right. That's what led to the tragedy. Anyway...should we go to the murder scene? Oh, wait, what was left there was the coat that Amemiya was wearing earlier?" There was a coat next to the twisted trombone, and Master Yuri picked it up. "What did Yu Gong wear before...? No, Yu Gong didn't wear this coat. Someone threw it on his body." "Throw it on his body?" Master Yuri frowned suddenly, as if the coat had aroused his interest.He examined the coat carefully. "Yes, that's right. This is the double bass player Kawada's coat. The murderer dropped the coat after pushing Amamiya's body down from the fourth floor. That's why this coat just happened to cover Amamiya's. face." "But why? Is it necessary to drop the coat? What's in this coat...?" Master Yuri's eyes suddenly lit up.He found that from the back of the coat to the armpit, there was a trace of being tightly bound with a rope. "Asahara, this wrinkle is..." "I don't know, that's how it was when I found out. Kawata didn't know what was going on, so he cursed fiercely, saying that it was some guy who acted so recklessly." "Hahahahaha, that's no wonder. Whether it's the double bass case or the coat, he was used by the murderer inexplicably. Then, let's go to the murder scene." We went up the fourth floor to the room where Amamiya was killed. The room was at the farthest corner, and a small, narrow staircase adjoined it.When we unlocked the door, the door of the opposite room two or three rooms away suddenly opened. The tall and burly Shiga flute man poked his head out from the room, stared at us, and closed the door again after a while, hiding went into the room. The appearance of that room has already been mentioned in Tsuchiya's notes, so I won't repeat it.Master Yuli carefully inspected the broken glass window, opened the window and stuck his head out, looked up and down a few times, then retracted his head and closed the window.Listening to the police department's explanation, he seemed to be describing the scene in his mind, but after a while, he shook his head from side to side disinterestedly. "By the way, is the room upstairs used as a storage room for the opera troupe?" "That's right, that's right. Sagara found the men's suit in that room, right?" "Well, let's go and see that room." The police department looked bewildered.As soon as Master Yuri finished speaking, he immediately walked out of the room, climbed two or three steps to the narrow staircase, and then turned back as if thinking of something. "No, let's settle here first." The master walked through the corridor, walked to the front of Shiga Piper's room, and knocked on the door.
