Chapter 25 Section 1

When I got home and took a shower, I calmed down a bit.I put on my bathrobe and turned on the TV, but because of the time, no matter which one I switched to, the news was not broadcasting. I took a can of beer out of the refrigerator and sighed after taking a sip.All the exhaustion came out, wrapping my body tightly. Alas, I muttered to myself: Didn't expect even him to be killed— I knew without police investigation that Sakagami was killed.He was the third victim after Masayuki Kawazu and Miyuki Shinsato. What these three people have in common is that they suffered a shipwreck together last year.Nothing else.

What is the purpose of the criminal?Could it be that his ultimate goal is to kill everyone involved in that accident? I speculate that there will be more victims in the future.As if laughing at the police and us who couldn't find any clues, the killings will continue. There are only two results that can be thought of at present, I thought. One result is that all of them are killed.Although it was not a story written by Agatha Christie, the result was "not one left". Another result is that one person survives and all the others are killed.In this case, it should be quite reasonable to think that the person who survived is the prisoner.

Thinking of this, a certain name came to my mind again. Yasuko Gu Ze. Is she alive, or is she dead?The answer to this question is enough to completely change the direction of the whole reasoning, but I can't find her whereabouts. And, I thought, what the hell is Sakagami trying to tell us?When we met him for the first time, although he rejected us, he seemed very uncomfortable.It gave me the feeling that he was desperately enduring his desire to make everything public. I suddenly remembered something, so I pulled the purse closer to me.After searching in the purse for a while, I found the troupe profile that I remembered.

This is the introduction of the modern drama that they will perform this time, and it also has the name of Yutaka Sakagami.I almost choked on beer when I saw Sakagami's character. It read - Poor students who sneaked into nursing homes disguised as old people. Pretending to be an old man? What emerged in my mind was the figure of the old man who had been hiding in the shadows and staring at me the day Masayuki Kawazu’s things were delivered by courier.The courier said he didn't see the old man's face clearly, and I only caught a glimpse.That old man must have been disguised by Toyo Sakagami, right?

If this is really the case, did he come here to monitor because he knew that Kawazu Masayuki's things would be sent to me?And if he got the chance, would he just plan to steal it? Nothing wrong, I thought.In the accident last year, there must be some secret that everyone wants to hide. As I went to get my second can of beer, the phone rang.I also know who the caller is. "Have you read the news?" Dongzi said with a very obvious loss in his voice. "The other party is coming first again." I said, "I was almost able to get some information from him. Did the prisoner know this and killed him?"

"I don't think so..." "All in all, we were indeed one step ahead of the opponent." "...should have made an appointment earlier." "Dongzi doesn't need to feel that it is her responsibility. By the way, I know something more." I told Dongzi that the old man I saw a few days ago might be Yu Sakagami in disguise.Sure enough, Dongzi was also surprised. "The enemy's surveillance is really tight!" "In short, after so many incidents, we must learn the secret of the accident as soon as possible. The police are probably about to catch the commonality of the three people by now."

"But who should I ask?" Dongzi said. "As I said before, there is only one person left—Yumi Yamamori." "But you haven't got the tool to make her talk yet, have you?" I shook my head confidently. "I'm enlightened." Taking a deep breath, I said, "Use stronger methods!"
