Teak was disturbed by the ringing of the phone.He reached for the cell phone next to the pillow and glanced at the time.It's past ten o'clock in the morning. "Are you still sleeping?" Xiaogu's unhappy voice came from the phone. "I'm getting ready to go out. What's the matter?" "You still ask 'what's the matter'! It seems that you don't know that the police have already acted." "What's wrong?" "It is said that this morning, they searched the offices of KM Construction." "KM Construction? Why search?"

"I don't know, that's why I called you. Didn't you hear the news? It was you who offered to stay in Nagaoka for a few more days." "Sorry, I was busy with other things..." "Fei Tian's wife and sports genes, don't be in a hurry and talk about it later. All in all, you should collect information first, understand?" "I understand. I will contact you as soon as I get the information." After hanging up the phone, Yuki turned on the TV, but found no news related to the search for KM construction. Teak got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom.His head was a little heavy, probably from drinking late.Fei Tian said that he couldn't fall asleep, but teak was the same, and he was not in the mood to fall asleep peacefully.

Teak washed his face with cold water and looked at himself in the mirror.His eyes were red and his face was puffy.Teak thought to himself, Fei Tian's appearance is definitely much more haggard than himself.He must have not slept for a while, so he flew back directly. Teak simply ate some breakfast and left the hotel.Kotani asks him to gather information, but Yuki finds only one clue.He took out his cell phone and called Kamijo Setsuko. The other party answered the phone immediately.A gloomy voice came from Yuki's ear. "Hello." "I'm Teak, is it convenient to talk now?"

"Well, it's okay..." "I heard that the police conducted a search of your company. Is this true?" She was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes." Her voice was very muffled. "Did the police explain to you the purpose of the search?" "They didn't tell me anything... Now, Odagiri is investigating the cause of the matter." "That's right. Where are you now?" "I am at home." "So, can I go to your house to find you? I also want to talk to Mr. Odagiri." "Are you coming over now?"

"The police think that your husband is the one who sent the threatening letter, so they will search your company. We must find out the truth of the matter no matter what." Teak said in a slightly rough tone.To meet his immediate needs, he had to be careful to emphasize his victim's position. Kamijou Setsuko didn't speak.After a while, she replied, "I understand. Odagiri will be here later. I will pass on Mr. Yuzuki's words to him." "Thank you very much, you have been very helpful." Teak hung up the phone hastily, thinking that she would be in trouble if she changed her mind.

Yuki hailed a taxi and drove towards Kamijou's house.He thought that the media would flock to him, but there was no one around the cream-yellow building. Kamijou Shizuko came out to greet Yuki with a blank face.She led him to the reception room he had visited a few days ago, where Odagiri was waiting for him with a strange expression. "It happened so suddenly that the executive directors were shocked." Odagiri said straight to the point. "What's going on?" Yuki asked. "I don't know the specific circumstances, but it should still be related to the bus incident. As you know, the police believe that the accident was man-made."

"That's what they and I said." "I heard that the bus was tampered with. The criminal installed a special device in a certain part of the bus." This is the first time I heard of it.Teak leaned out and asked, "And then?" "It is said that the special device is a kind of construction part. The police investigated the source of the part and found that it was a product of a part manufacturer in Nagaoka." "Nagaoka? So..." Odagiri nodded solemnly. "It's one of our subsidiaries." Yuki straightened his back and looked towards Setsuko Kamijo.Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was tightly pursed.

"So, the criminal is someone inside your company?" "So did the police." "The company staff intends to murder the president? But in this case, the threatening letter will not make sense." "Well, it's like this. The police seem to think that the president has already known all these things." Yuki stared at Odagiri puzzled. "I still don't understand. Are you saying that your president ordered his subordinates to kill him? How could such a thing happen?" "Generally speaking, it is unlikely. Therefore, the police suspect that this may be an insurance fraud case."

"Insurance scam?" "It is to deliberately create an accident and then defraud the insurance money." "How is it possible? It's downright absurd." Kamijou Setsuko screamed, "During this extraordinary period, there is no need for my husband to do such a thing." "This is not my opinion, but the opinion of the police. However, I think the police's statement is also reasonable. If the goal of this accident is to defraud insurance money, then we can explain why the president wrote a threatening letter .” "How to explain?" Yuki asked.

"If an accident is simply caused, then the president's plan is likely to be discovered. However, if the accident is disguised as a crime of murdering a skier, then the police will not target the president, and the insurance company probably will not." It will not be discovered. Therefore, in order to deceive people, it is very necessary to send a threatening letter in advance.” "Then, why are you targeting Ms. Feitian from my company?" "Because the president is her fan. The president went to meet his favorite athlete, so it was natural to meet her even at the scene of the incident."

"So that's the case. This statement can indeed be established." "Like I said, it's not my idea. I'm just passing on the police's view. I don't believe it myself." Teak thought, I don't believe it either.Although the words came to his lips, he still endured them. Yuki knew better than anyone the purpose of Kamijou's trip to Sapporo.He also knew why Kamijou wanted to see Fumi. Like Fei Tian said, the police investigation is going in the wrong direction.Yuki thought, I'd better tell them about Kamijou and Fumi's relationship as soon as possible. Yuki stared at Setsuko Kamijou—even for this poor woman, I have to tell the truth.
