Chapter 14 chapter Five

Early the next morning, she called Jianxue again. Because the deadline for this issue of the magazine is approaching, she must find out the reliability of what Jianxue said to Yuko. But Jianxue's family still didn't answer the phone. She should be at home today! --too weird!Xi Muzi thought so. At 10 o'clock, she called Jianxue's company again. But the other party told her that Jianxue had a rest today. So she called Jianxue's home again. Suddenly a man came to answer the phone. "Please help me find Miss Jianxue." Xi Muzi said.But the other side asked:

"Is it Ms. Nishikiko Inuchi?" "yes." "It's me, I'm Shirai." The man said. "Is it Detective Shirai?" "Yes. I knew it was you when I heard the voice." "Why are you there? Could it be...?" "Yes, Miss Inoue Miyuki is dead. An autopsy is underway right now." "Really? Jianxue is dead?!" Xi Muzi asked again in disbelief. "I'm here as evidence!" "She was killed?" "It's not clear, but he is the most likely to kill. And I have something to ask you again."

"Then I'll go right away!" Xi Muzi said. She quickly drove to Jianxue's apartment. This is a very small apartment, Jianxue rented a one-bedroom house. Jianxue's body has been transported away. "The body has just been sent to the university's affiliated hospital for an autopsy." Shirai said to Xi Muzi. "Suicide or homicide? Xi Muzi asked eagerly." "The cause of death was cyanide poisoning. She died in her pajamas, and there were wine bottles and glasses on the table. The glass was drunk. We took it away for identification." "Is there a suicide note?"

"No." "That's not suicide." "The question is is she drinking alone or with another guest? If there is a guest, that person is most likely the murderer." "How many glasses are there?" "There's only one. But maybe it's 'hidden' by that guest!" "She won't commit suicide." Xi Muzi said. "You said the same thing when Yuko's incident happened. But today's situation is also believed by the police to be 80% suicide." "Nowadays?" "When was the last time you saw her?"

"We met in Shinjuku the day before yesterday, and we had a chat. I called several times last night, but no one answered." "What time was the call?" "After 11:30." "So she died before 11:30. What did you say when you met the day before yesterday?" "Talk about Yuko." "What did she say?" "I said that I don't believe Yuko committed suicide, but Jianxue firmly believes that she committed suicide. She also said that after Section Chief Eguchi told Yuko that he wanted to break up, Yuko committed suicide for a while."

Xi Muzi said to Bai Jing while recalling Jian Xue's words. "You still think Yuko didn't commit suicide?" Shirai shrugged his shoulders and asked. "But now I also think that maybe she really committed suicide?" "What about Miyuki Inoue? You two met, how do you feel?" "No!" Xi Muzi said decisively. "Why?" Shirai asked. "Jianxue was too worried about Yuko's death, she paid special attention to it. How could she commit suicide when she was so interested?" "Only this?" "I think she also knows a lot about Yuko, maybe Yuko and Eguchi. She is very involved in inquiring about other people's private lives, so I can't think that she will commit suicide? Especially at this time?"

"What does she know?" "I do not know then." "What kind of person is Jian Xue? Does she like to join in the fun and gossip?" "She was married to a rich man, and she really likes to gossip. Especially about her private life." "And you?" "Me too." Xi Muzi smiled. "She likes to drink? Like to drink 'Raymond' wine?" "Well, the amount of alcohol is okay." "What kind of wine do you often drink?" "Anyway, she never drinks expensive wine. Like me, we are ordinary company employees."

"But you also try some imported wine now and then?" "Yes, but she doesn't care if it's domestic wine." "This may have something to do with homicide. Maybe it was brought by someone, or it was a gift from someone." "What clue do you have?" "What aspect?" "Do you know who sent her the imported 'Raymond' wine? And it's a clue to someone who can bring her 'Raymond' wine in the middle of the night?" "No." "Has she had many friends?" "When she was in college, she had many friends, but after she joined the company, she had no good friends except me and the dead Yuko." Xi Muzi said.

She didn't know a lot about Yuko, and it was the same about Jian Xue.
