Chapter 23 Section 7

At the coffee shop last time, Miyuki and the detective met again.The male detective is still wearing a black suit, while the woman who seems to be an assistant has changed into a summer knitted pullover based on black. "The case seems to be basically solved." The detective said to Miyuki. "But the suspect hasn't fully confessed yet." Miyuki said that he got the information from the criminal police, "But that man must be a criminal. That's what the police said." When she heard the news that her mother had an affair and was going to run away with that man, the upright Miyuki was really shocked, and her mother was killed by that man again.But to Meixing's comfort, in the end, her mother did not leave home, but decided to stay at home.Anyone in the world will make mistakes, and the determination to correct them is the most important thing.Miyuki thinks so.

Because of this, Miyuki hated the man named Nakano who killed his mother angrily because of her mother's change of heart. "So, what about the results of the last survey?" The detective tried to speak in a businesslike tone: "Since the criminal has been caught, it means that the case has been solved, so there is no point in entrusting our investigation." "No, please tell me the results of the investigation." Miyuki said to the detective: "Even though the case is solved, I still feel that the behavior of my father and sister was a little weird."

Hearing this, the detective lowered his eyes, but nodded for a moment. "Okay, then I'll tell you." The detective took out a dozen reports from his purse, "Let's start with the conclusion, Yosuke Deba, Tingko Deba and Noriko Otsuka, there is nothing suspicious about the recent behavior of the three of them. Each of them is the same as usual , going to work, going to college, going shopping, all coming home after an ordinary day out.” In the report produced by the detective, there were photos of the three people when they went to work in the company, attended classes at the university, and went shopping in the store. There seemed to be no particular problem.

"However, the three of them did deliberately hide something from me. This is a fact. Mr. Detective, it seems that you have not investigated these issues." "No, no. On the contrary, we actually investigated." The detective changed his sitting position, gave a dry cough, and took another sip of coffee. "We also investigated the whereabouts of Mr. Ba Yangsuke that day. He left the company around one o'clock that day." Dad really lied, Miyuki thought.This coincided with what my friend said about seeing my father at around 1:30. "But Mr. Chang didn't seem to go straight home."

"Then where has he been?" "Well...Actually, your father went to a place called Xinxing Cultural Center that day." With a bang, Miyuki subconsciously called out.The detective continued: "Yes. Probably, Mr. Ma knew about the matter between Mrs. Taeko and Mr. Nakano, so he wanted to go to the center to talk to Mr. Nakano that day." "So, at that time, Dad... knew about Mom's affair?" "But I don't know what they plan to run away from home that day." "That is to say... Dad didn't see that man named Nakano that day?"

"Yes. So he went home and found Mrs. Taeko's body by accident. But Mr. Chang didn't want to make it public that Mrs. Taeko was having an affair. Of course, such things are not uncommon now, but your father is worried about it. There is one thing that would hurt his daughter—that is, you—so he asked his wife's sister to perjure him. If he told him about going to the Xinxing Cultural Center, he couldn't find where to go legitimate reasons." "……So this is ah." Miyuki let out a deep breath.It is true that there will be such a problem for Dad. "Your sister and aunt know about it, too. They just want to keep it a secret from you."

"Actually, you don't have to worry about it." "It's because of love." The detective put away the report, "Okay, the above are the results of the investigation, do you have any questions?" "Ah, that's the... fee?" Miyuki clasped her hands together and looked up at the detective.The detective put the report in his bag. "Fee, forget it," he said. "No special investigation was conducted, and no abnormal results were found, and your father pays the dues every month. So let's forget it this time." "Really? That would be great."

The stone in Miyuki's heart finally fell to the ground.But when she saw the detectives getting up to leave, she said, "Oh, I'm sorry, there is one more thing." Seeing the detectives' inquiring eyes, she went on to say, "About my father's whereabouts that day, what did you guys do?" The investigation is clear, it seems that the investigation is very detailed." The detective stretched out his index finger and shook it left and right: "This is a secret." With that said, they walked out of the coffee shop.
