Chapter 18 chapter 2

"Why did you say that?" Dongzi asked me on the taxi back. "What kind of words?" "You said that the target of the prisoner was the members who participated in the yacht trip..." "Ah—" I smiled wryly and stuck out my tongue, "I don't know why I suddenly want to say it." This time, Dongzi smiled. "Is that unfounded?" "Theoretically, it's groundless, but I really believe it!" "Is it intuition?" "Probably something more persuasive than intuition." "I'm still eager to hear and see!" Dongzi raised her feet in the small car and leaned slightly towards me.

"It's actually a very simple idea." I said, "From the information we have, it's not difficult to find that when the accident happened last year, other things should have happened. Then, someone wanted to hide that incident." thing." "But you don't know what that is, do you?" "Unfortunately, I don't know. But I think there must be relevant evidence left in the stolen documents in Kawazu. And one of the people who wanted to get that document was Shinsato Miyuki, but she was killed In other words, in this incident, the person being targeted is likely not the person who wants to know the secret, but the person who wants to keep the secret."

"Then the ones who want to keep the secret are those who take the trip... right?" "exactly." After listening to me, Dongzi shut her mouth tightly and nodded very seriously.After thinking for a while, she said again: "If this is the case, the subsequent investigation will be even more difficult. You see, all the people involved will definitely keep silent about it." "Of course!" The facts are in front of my eyes-this is what Sakagami is like today. "What should we do? Now only the people around President Yamamori are left." "It doesn't seem to work to go and ask in a serious manner! Although I can't say for sure, but if all the relevant people have said in advance to keep the secret, the coordinator must be President Yamamori."

"Do you have any plans?" "Well," I folded my hands on my chest and snickered, "I can't say no." "What do you want?" "It's very simple." I went on to say, "Even if President Yamamori has issued some kind of gag order to all the related parties, there is only one person who has not been instructed. The possibility is very high. My target is that number figure."
