Zong Fang knocked on the door, and the voice of "Please come in" came after a while.This is Minshu's usual habit.Zong Fang slowly opened the door, and Min Shu was reading a book facing the desk.He looked up and took off his reading glasses. "Do you know?" Minshu asked in a low and sonorous voice. "Understood." Zong Fang replied. "what's the result?" "Type B." "Type B... are you sure?" "I'm asking a newspaper reporter I know, and I don't think there's anything wrong." Min Shu leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and remained silent.Zong Fang stood where he was, waiting for his next sentence. "In other words," he said with his eyes closed, "it's very likely to be my child."

"To be precise, it's your child... right?" Zong Fang said without stammering. Minshu opened his eyes, and stared sharply at the straight-talking son-in-law. "Yes. That's right." Minshu replied without emotion: "This murder killed our child." "Were you planning to adopt?" "If it's a boy." Toshiki said, "But even if it's a girl, I plan to take care of her as best I can. So I told Yasuko in advance: If you get pregnant, tell me right away." "Will she not be sure that the child belongs to the full-time director? I think she plans to wait for the child to be born and confirm the blood type match before telling you."

"What is she going to do if the blood types don't match?" "In that case, she probably intends to rely on a man who matches the child's blood type. For her, this should be a bet." "I see, but a woman who would make such a bet cannot choose to commit suicide." "You are right." "Is this incident really related to a series of murders?" There is a reason for Minshu to say "as expected".On the day Zhishu was killed, Minshu learned from Yasuko that Zhishu asked her to go to Osaka.Since she asked for leave on the day of the murder, Minshu pressed her about it, and she honestly admitted it.But she argued that she had nothing to do with the murder.She said she had been waiting for Naoki in the coffee shop where he asked her to go.

So Zongfang went all the way to Osaka to confirm this matter.He went to the "Vidro" located on the basement floor of Shin-Osaka Station to inquire, and there was indeed such a female customer that day. According to Yasuko, Naoki said he wanted to talk to her about Minshu and her.In other words, Naoki noticed the relationship between the two.Minshu glanced at Zongfang. "There is nothing related to me around Kangzi, right?" "Not yet, but there is one thing that is not very good: a Chaumet brooch. Sure enough, the gift should be given in cash." "That." Minshu showed a tired expression. "Oh, there is no way. Anyway, please continue to collect information. But don't mention my name." "I know."

"Also, have you reminded Suyong about the accident?" "Yeah. I made him do what I said." "That's good, that guy is a smart man, if he messes with his brain, he will be in trouble." Then, Minshu waved his palm, indicating that Zongfang can back down.
