Nishiguchi said goodbye to Isobe and others who went to the prefectural police headquarters, and when they returned to the Glass Police Station, it was already past eight o'clock at night.There was a tense atmosphere in the entire police station.It seems that the establishment of the search headquarters has been formally decided, but everyone who is free is busy making preparations. Xikou walked into the largest room in the department—the large conference room, and saw that everyone was busy moving computers and various office equipment into the conference room. Someone tapped Nishiguchi on the shoulder from behind.Xikou looked back and saw a gloomy face on the bridge standing behind him.

"If you stand here stupidly again, you will be called to help. Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go together?" "Is this okay? Everyone is busy." "When the county police come, they will definitely turn you around. When it's time to be lazy, you still have to be lazy." Seeing footsteps on the bridge, Nishiguchi hastily followed. The two walked into a small restaurant near the police station.Xikou ordered a barbecue set meal.Hearing that he was going to be chased around by the county police, Xiguchi thought that he still needed to supplement his nutrition a little bit.

"It's really troublesome. I thought it was just a simple case, but I didn't expect it to become such a big mess. It's all the fault of the management officer of the Metropolitan Police Department. Those guys from the county police sounded like us It’s not the same thing here, but judging from the situation at the time, no matter who you are, you will think that it was an accident. If you are so entangled, if you see the corpse and take it for autopsy, then we will be accused .” Bridge poked the grilled fish with his chopsticks, muttering non-stop. "Where did you hang out on the bridge today?"

"Dong Glass. I went with those people sent by the county police. To be more precise, it should be said to lead them the way." "Over there at Marin Hills?" "I've been there too, but I actually inquired about it in another community. It is said that Xianbo's wife is dead, but his wife's hometown is there. It's just that the place has been converted into a parking lot now. " "Xianbo's wife is from Dongli?" "It seems to be." Qiao Yue put the chopsticks on the table, and took out the manual from the jacket hanging on the back of the chair next to him. "According to the information sent by the Metropolitan Police Department, Xianbo himself is from Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture. After taking office, he went to Tokyo and married a female colleague who worked in the same company when he was 30 years old. And his female colleague is East glass people."

On the bridge, let Nishiguchi look at the manual.The manual says "Etsuko's former surname is Hino". "So, he bought the villa near his wife's hometown on purpose?" "No, when the two got married, his wife's hometown had already been demolished. His wife just lived in Dongli until she graduated from high school, and then his father-in-law and his family were transferred to Yokohama. After marrying Xianbo , his wife lived with him in Tokyo. On the other hand, when he was thirty-five years old, Xianbo started a home appliance repair company independently. He lived in Meguro District, Tokyo at that time, and the company was running fairly well. Yes, at the age of forty-six, he bought the villa in Marin Hills. Because his wife always told him that he wanted to see the sea in his hometown and hoped to move back to his hometown, so he satisfied him. This wish of my wife—it is said that Xianbo said these things when he was arrested for murder and was interrogated." Hashigami closed the manual and picked up the chopsticks.

"Hmm. According to what you say, this Xianbo is not a bad person?" Xikou said while chewing on the barbecue. "Things are impermanent. Although the company's performance is good enough to buy a villa, but this kind of small and medium-sized enterprises, as long as they make a wrong step, the future situation will become unimaginable. The company in Xianbo is the same. He just Expanding the scope of business a little bit, the result was a heavy burden on his shoulders. In the blink of an eye, Senbo was heavily in debt, and the company went bankrupt not long after. Although he still had two real estate properties in Meguro and Marin Hills, this time It was his wife's turn to get sick. And it was cancer."

"Cancer?" Xiguchi frowned, "This..." "It's really unlucky." Qiaoshang stuffed a piece of boiled vegetables into his mouth, "In order to raise money for medical treatment, the two decided to sell the house in Meguro and move to Marin Hills. Although his wife finally got her wish, But what happened is quite ironic. But this kind of life didn’t last long. Soon after, his wife died, leaving Xianbo alone.” "It's really pitiful to live alone in that kind of place." Xikou recalled the ruined villa. "Xianbo lived there alone for a while, but without a fixed income, it was difficult to maintain his life. Later, he went to Tokyo again and worked in an electrical appliance store. At this time, Xianbo committed homicide. "

"I also read the information later, it is said that he killed a former lady on stage?" "The two had a quarrel over whether they had ever borrowed money. In a rage, Xian Bo killed each other. He was penniless and his wife died. It is estimated that Xian Bo had completely lost himself at that time. Call him stupid, It seems to be a bit silly, but such an experience always makes people feel a little sympathetic." Nishiguchi raised his hand and stopped the bridge. "Did Tsukahara feel the same way back then? Did he feel sympathy for Senba too?" Hashigami thought for a while, and said: "It should be. Tsukahara was in charge of the interrogation at that time. It is recorded in the interrogation record that the person who said that Xianba bought the villa in Marin Hills for his wife is probably also Tsukahara. Perhaps, He thinks that writing it like this can give other people a better impression of Xianbo during the trial."

"If that's the case, then Xianba probably won't hold grudges against Tsukahara." "I'm afraid so." Qiaoshang nodded, "There are still a few families. They used to have contacts with Xianbo's wife's natal family, so we asked them about the situation. When Xianbo lived in Marin Hills, several families They often walk around each other. People who have dealt with Xianbo said that they have never seen anyone with a kinder heart than Xianbo. He killed people, presumably because the other party has gone too far. Maybe it is also It is because of this that Tsukahara decided to drop by to visit him when he came here."

"So, between this case and Xianbo Yingjun..." Bridge shook his head. "Nothing at all. Even the guys the county police sent seemed to have lost interest."
