The next day, the detective did not show up to Narita.Not only Narita, but everyone in the Masaki family said they had never seen him.Liang Zi locked herself in the room and never came out again. Let alone the detective, she didn't want to see anyone. In the case of Fujijiro, no one has called the police yet.On the surface, everyone adopted a wise opinion: the prisoner will definitely take action in the future, so it is not too late to call the police, but in fact the truth of the person involved is: anyway, Fujijiro has passed away, and there is nothing to worry about. After knowing the ins and outs of the whole incident, it was Tomohiro who was most disturbed.Because if Tojiro's death is confirmed, his mother Wenjiang will get an unexpected huge sum of money.However, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is nothing that can prove his death.His current wish is to find Tojiro's body even a minute earlier, or even a second earlier.So it was he who advocated calling the police the most.

The company's explanation to the staff was that the chairman had gone overseas for inspection.Gao Ming believes that although this matter will be revealed sooner or later, for the time being, avoid unnecessary confusion.The work is done by himself, so there is no great inconvenience. Narita would often go to the vice chairman's office to discuss business matters with Gao Ming, while the rest of the time was spent in the empty chairman's office.Occasionally, someone asked why the secretary did not follow the chairman on a business trip, and he cleverly got away with it. Narita returned to his seat in the chairman's office and lit a cigarette.Tojiro's body shaking back and forth appeared in the milky cloud of smoke, and he recalled what the detective said yesterday.

——"To solve this case, you only need to answer two 'whys'. First, why the prisoner had to take back Tojiro's body; second, why the scene was a secret room." The detective's words obviously contained some kind of meaning. What was it? Narita looked at the chairman's desk without its owner, and thought about the person who needed to hide Tojiro's body. First up is Ryoko, as with Takaaki, Tojiro's death before the divorce takes effect would be bad for her.And there is also the face factor of the Masaki family, and suicide is undoubtedly a cause of death that is enough to discredit the Masaki family.

From the perspective of inheritance, Gao Ming's three children also have criminal motives.Whether they have this behavioral capacity is, however, open to question.Narita believes that they belong to the kind of idiots who can't do their own things. From the perspective of the family's face, the old maid Dezi also became suspicious.In terms of the intention to protect Masaki's family, she may be stronger than anyone else.But can the old lady move the corpse?No matter how you think about it, it's unlikely. Narita also thought about the secret room. How did the prisoner re-lock the door after moving the corpse out of the locked room?It would be a different matter if the human body could be able to disperse like smoke, but in Narita's eyes, this is tantamount to nonsense.

- the detective... He asked himself to tell the whole story of that night, and finally Narita spoke up, and also said that Jiang Lizi got the insurance money, but the exchange condition was that Ryoko had to keep it a secret. The detective and the female assistant turned Narita's words into words. In the notes they completed, not only the insignificant conversations that everyone said at the time, but also the orientation of their bodies when they spoke-at least according to Narita's memory ——It was all recorded. —Has the detective deduced anything from his own words? It was unknown, and all the detective had to say to him was the "two 'whys'" mentioned earlier.

In the early morning of the next day, detectives and female assistants suddenly visited Narita's home. "You guys still know this place?" Narita said with emotion, the female assistant smiled, making people feel that this matter is taken for granted.The detective just looked around the room expressionlessly. "Please come in!" Unexpectedly, the detective stretched out his right hand and nodded slightly. "We are here today to conclude this case." "Conclude it?" "yes." After finishing speaking, the detective took a large brown envelope from the assistant beside him, and handed it to Narita.

"It contains all kinds of information about this case. I want to apologize to you that all the content is objective data and factual records, and all speculation and subjective assumptions are excluded. And there is no investigation result for us. Views." Narita took the envelope, it was heavy."Why did you give this to me?" he asked. "We will choose you. In fact, there is no special reason. If I really want to say it, it may be because you don't have much relationship with the Masaki family." The detective said, "After we analyzed these materials, we decided not to intervene in this case. The final finishing work can only be done by you, so I want to leave this to you. I'm afraid you will not agree after reading it." You will come to the same conclusion as us, as for what you should do after knowing this conclusion, that is your freedom."

"I don't understand. Now that we have reached a conclusion, why don't you just tell Mrs. Liangzi? Is it necessary to leave this matter to me for judgment?" "I also guess that you must have such doubts." The detective's flat tone remained the same, but there was a level of ambiguity never seen before. "In short, please read this document first, I think, after reading it, you should understand why we can only make such a bad move." After speaking, the detective bowed respectfully, and the female assistant also lowered her head.Narita looked at their backs and the envelope in their hands in turn without saying a word.
