Chapter 46 Section 6

I originally planned to go home directly, but changed my mind when I got into the taxi, and told the driver that my destination was not my home. "A high-end residential area! Do you live there? It's amazing." There was a hint of jealousy in the words of the slender-faced driver. "It's not my family," I said, "it's a friend's. Although I'm not that old, I already have a successful career." "Sure enough!" the driver sighed, while manipulating the steering wheel, "It's no longer possible to do some things that are taken for granted! In this day and age, it's impossible not to do something bold!"

"Don't care about other people's life or death!" "Well, that's right. It's okay not to treat people as props now!" "……Yes!" Then I fell silent.The driver didn't say another word. Neon lights flashed past the car window.Toko's face emerged in it. What kind of mood did she use to watch me investigate this matter? You should feel uneasy, right?Stronger than anxiety.And when the truth is unknown, she probably thinks it would be more beneficial for her to pretend to help me!Because she can use this to approach Shansen and his party as if nothing had happened.

So, how does she see things between me and Kawazu Masayuki?Is this just a part of her revenge plan?Doesn't she feel guilty at all for taking away her best friend's lover? No, I don't think so. The sad expression on her face, who was sad with me after Masayuki Kawazu's death, is not fake.It was a sincere look for the best friend who lost her boyfriend.In other words, at least when she was with me, she was not the Hagio Toko who killed Kawazu Masayuki, but my best friend forever. Anyway, now... that's all I want to believe. "Is it around here?" A sudden voice brought me back to reality.The car entered a residential area, so I started to give directions.

Because I sent Yumi back before, I still remember the location of President Yamamori's house.There is a garage the size of four imported cars on the front of the building, next to the gate.Looking in from the gate, it can be seen that the main house is very inside. "What a high-end house!" The driver sighed and gave me the change. After the taxi drove away, I pressed the intercom.It was quite a while before I heard a woman answer, Mrs. Yamamori's voice.When I said that I wanted to meet President Yamamori, she replied in a very cold tone: "Do you have an appointment in advance?"

It's already this time, so it's only natural for her to feel unhappy! "I didn't make an appointment in advance." I said into the intercom: "But if I trouble you to tell your husband that it's me, he should be willing to meet me." Madam is probably very angry!She cut off the communication rudely. After waiting for a while, there was a click from the general entrance and exit door on the side of the gate.As I approached, I turned the handle and opened the door easily.It seems that there is a remote unlocking device here. Going straight down the stone-paved road, I came to the entrance.The doors were decorated with reliefs in poor taste.After opening this door, I saw President Yamamori in a nightgown waiting for me.

"Welcome," he said. He led me to his study.The walls are lined with bookshelves, probably containing hundreds of books.At the end of the bookcase was a wine cabinet, from which he took out a bottle of brandy and glasses. "How is it? What's the matter tonight?" he asked as he handed me a glass full of brandy.I feel a sweet aroma wafting in the room. "Until just now, I was with Miss Shizuko." I said tentatively.His expression froze for a moment, and then he restored his confident smile. "Really? Did you talk about something interesting?" "I know everything." I said decisively, "What happened on the uninhabited island and the reason why Dongzi died."

"and then?" "There is no more." I said, "I don't think those two people will come back, nor will they appear in front of you again!" "Really? Then there is no way." "Isn't this the ending you planned?" "Planned?" "Hmm. Or—it would be great if those two could die in love?" "I don't quite understand what you mean." "Don't play dumb." I put the glass on the table and stood in front of him, "Ever since you knew the prisoner was Dongzi, you've always hoped that Mr. Kanai and Miss Shizuko would kill her, right?"

"Did they say so?" "No, because they were deceived by you. Not only the two of them, but you also deceived Mr. Toyo Sakagami." President Yamamori took a sip of the brandy. "I hope you can explain it for me." "That's why I came here." I licked my rough and dry lips, "Your ultimate goal is to make the uninhabited island a secret that only your family members know. You, your wife, your brother, your niece—other than that People are in the way, because they don't know when they will accidentally reveal the secrets of the uninhabited island. It just so happened that both Mr. Kawazu and Miss Niri were killed by murderers who were not family members, so you planned to kill them next. Mr. Sakagami."

"It's very interesting!" "Although your script is to invite Mr. Sakagami to meet Dongzi, and then ask Mr. Ishikura to save people at a critical moment, but I think you didn't plan to save him from the beginning, did you?" He takes the glass away from his lips and I see his crooked lips. "Troublesome! How can you understand it?" "Please don't act this ugly scene again." I said without any scruples: "The real purpose of revisiting Island Y is to kill Dongzi, right? You have already seen through Dongzi that it is impossible for Dongzi to agree to the exchange conditions, and then It is predicted that at the end of the matter, Fuyuko will probably be killed by Mr. Kanai—”

"I don't have any predictive ability!" "It's not a prediction, it's a prediction. Then you plan to have everyone say the same thing when the police come, and make alibi for each other. So you choose the isolated island of Y Island, and let a third party, Masahiko Takemoto, participate. It's just to increase the credibility of the alibi. In fact, Dongzi also used some tricks to create her own alibi, which makes your plan perfect." After I finished speaking, I still stared at President Yamamori.Sitting on the chair, he also looked at me with emotionless eyes.

"There is a big misunderstanding in your opinion." President Yamamori stared straight at me and said, "We didn't feel ashamed at all about the actions we took at that time. Even looking back now, we still feel that I am right. It is true that we did not have the courage to save Jinjing, but I don’t think it is inhumane. Do you understand? In that kind of situation, it is impossible to make an absolutely perfect choice! We chose It's a better way, so there's no need to feel ashamed. Takemoto is the worst person. Even if he is willing to risk his life, asking for a reward is very despicable—let alone asking for that kind of reward." He speaks with confidence.If I don't know anything, I will definitely be deceived by his tone. "May I ask?" "Ask anything you want." "The so-called 'absolutely perfect choice' means that everyone is rescued safely?" "Oh, yes!" "And then you said that was impossible." "I mean you can't make that choice, because it's too dangerous!" "Then when Mr. Takemoto decided to rescue Mr. Jinjing, why didn't you stop him?" "..." "That is to say, you are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks at all!" I yelled out without thinking, unable to restrain my outburst of emotions. There was a long silence between the two of us. "Oh, forget it." He finally said, "You are free to say what you want. Although I have been clinging on like this, it makes me a little bit concerned. But, nothing will change." "Well," I nodded, "nothing will change and nothing will happen again." "That's it!" "It's just that I have one last question I want to ask." "What?" His eyes softened, but only for a moment.His gaze seemed to be drawn behind me.I followed his gaze and looked back, only to find Yumi standing at the door in her nightgown. "Are you up?" President Yamamori's voice was full of unimaginable tenderness in the conversation from just now to the present. "Is it a teacher who writes mystery novels?" She asked, her face turned to a place different from where I was. "Ah, yes!" I said, "but I'm going back." "It's a pity, I really want to talk to you." "The teacher is very busy," said President Yamamori, "You can't force him to keep him." "But I just need to say a word, teacher." Yumi stretched out her left hand while leaning against the wall.So I moved closer to her and held that hand tightly. "what?" "Teacher, that...Dad and Mom aren't being watched by anyone, right?" "Uh..." I held my breath and turned to look at President Shanmori.His eyes avoided the direction of the wall. I held Yumi's hand firmly and replied, "Well, that's right! It's all right now, nothing will happen again." She murmured in a low voice: Great.A smile like an elf rippled on her pale face. I let go of Yumi's hand and turned to President Yamamori.There is one last question, but that cannot be asked here. I took out a business card from my purse and wrote a few words on the back with a ballpoint pen.Then I walked over to President Yamamori, reached out and held the business card directly in front of his eyes. "It doesn't matter if you don't need to answer." Looking at him on the back of the business card, his face seemed a little skewed.I put the business card back in my bag. "Then please take care." He didn't answer, just kept staring intently at my face.I left him where he was, turned and walked towards the door.Yumi was still standing there. "Goodbye," she said. "Goodbye, take care!" I answered her, and left without looking back. By the time I got back to my home, it was already past one o'clock. There was a letter in the mailbox, which was sent by the editor-in-chief of the publishing house where Dongzi worked. I took a shower first, and then lay directly on the bed wrapped in a towel.What a super long day today! Then I reached for the letter.There are two pieces of letter paper stuffed in the envelope, and it is written in very polite words that I will introduce a new responsible editor for me soon.The content did not specifically mention Dongzi's death. I threw the letter out with all my might.A deep sadness came over me, and sudden tears ran down my face. Dongzi—— Is that good?I asked aloud.I really can't think of any other way besides doing that—— Needless to say, no one answered me.No one can come up with an answer. Taking the purse, I took out the business card from it—the business card that President Yamamori had just shown. "You should have discovered that Mr. Takemoto is not dead?" After looking at the business card for about ten seconds, I slowly tore it apart.Things have come to this stage, and it may not make any sense to ask this question.No one can prove the truth, and even if it is proved, nothing can be changed. The shredded business cards fell from my hands and fell to the ground with a clatter. Perhaps, my trial will officially begin next! But for the next thing, whatever you want is fine. Because I have awakened. No matter what happens tomorrow - I just want to sleep right now.
