Gong sees no sign that the government is lying.Moreover, he could not find a reason for his lying.So why does this contradiction arise? Gong looked at the umbrella on the table.As Zhengxing said, a plastic umbrella that can be seen everywhere.Underneath the transparent umbrella body is a white plastic umbrella handle. The white handle is engraved with a series of slender wear marks.Staring at these wear marks, something flashed in his mind.This was just a random memory, however, it awakened Gong Yi's yellowed memory.A scene clearly revived in my mind. "What's wrong?" Hagimura asked.

Koichi didn't answer right away.The sudden flash of speculation was too shocking.He was bent on self-denial.Because he couldn't accept this fact anyway.However, this conjecture has a strong persuasive force, and his heart struggled violently.In this way, all doubts and mysteries can be solved. "What's wrong, brother?" Taifu asked worriedly. "No, nothing." Gong Yi lowered his head.He didn't dare to raise his head, and tried his best to endure the urge to tremble all over his body. After muttering in a low voice, Hagimura said to Kashiwahara next to him:

"It seems that we have to take the umbrella back first." "Yes." Bai Yuan nodded slightly. "Now, the search is back to the starting point." "The fingerprints from that time are still there. Let's check it right away.——Can you leave this umbrella with us first?" Facing Hagi Village's inquiry, Zheng Xing replied: "Of course." The two policemen hurriedly resigned, and Xingcheng sent them to the entrance.During this time, Koichi also kept his head down. "Brother, it turned out like this..." Taifu said hoarsely, "I don't understand. So, who is the prisoner?"

Gong Yi raised his head and looked at his brother. "You go home alone." "Eh?" "Go back first!" Gong Yi got up, saluted Zheng Xing and walked out of the room.Xing Cheng happened to be walking back from the entrance. "What's wrong?" Xing Cheng was a little surprised. "Sorry, I'll explain later." Gong Yi walked through Xingcheng and walked straight to the entrance. Put on your shoes and walk out of the house quickly.He stood on the road and looked into the distance. After finding the backs of the two men, he hurried to catch up.

Seemingly noticing the sound of footsteps, Hagimura and Kashiwahara stopped at the same time and turned around. "What's the matter?" Hagimura asked. "I want to have a little talk with Mr. Kashiwahara... I want to discuss about my brother." Hagimura frowned slightly in surprise, "Is it urgent?" "Sorry, there's no delay." "But..." Kashiwahara stretched out his hand to stop before Hagi Cun finished speaking. "Go back and report first! I'll accompany him." "That's it, I'll see you later." Hagi Village couldn't help but walked away.

Kashiwahara looked at Koichi with a smile. "Going to a coffee shop? Or walking and talking?" "I do not mind." "Let's walk and talk over there." Kashiwahara walked in the opposite direction of Hagi Village.Gong Yi followed behind. Bai Yuan took out his mobile phone while walking, not knowing who he called, and underestimated in a low voice.After hanging up the phone, he walked towards Gongyi. "What do you want to talk about? What happened to Taifu-kun?" Gong didn't answer in a silent voice.So Bai Yuan stopped and stared at him. "It seems that it has nothing to do with my brother."

"It's related, it's about the case. But I don't want to discuss it with you, but I want to ask you a question." Koichi looked at Kashiwahara seriously, "Mr. Kashiwahara, do you still play golf now?" "Golf? No, I don't play it anymore. My waist is bad, and I don't have the spare money." "I see. But you were very keen on golf at the time. When the case happened." "It's true that I have fun, but I'm not very enthusiastic about it." "Really? I think you are quite fascinated. Whenever you have free time, you can make swings. I saw it. On the night of the crime, from the window of the house. Mr. Kashiwahara, who was the first to arrive at the scene after receiving the report, waved The black umbrella looks like playing golf."

Bai Yuan showed a wry smile, he turned his head: "Really?" "Holding the umbrella upside down, the umbrella handle rubs against the ground from time to time. If this happens, there will be many long and thin wear marks on the umbrella handle." Gong Yi took a breath and continued, " Like that plastic umbrella just now." Kashiwahara turned to Koichi.The smile disappeared, and there was a serious and intimidating light in his eyes. "What do you want to say?" "I thought about it carefully. If Mr. Togami didn't lie, the fingerprints on the umbrella that fell on the scene must have been wiped off by someone who came after Mr. Togami. However, when Mr. Togami left, we came back. Nobody should have access to that umbrella. Except for a certain kind of person, right?"

Bai Yuan stretched the corners of his mouth, looked elsewhere, and adjusted his breathing deeply. "You want to say that the police may have committed the crime." "The prisoner made a ridiculous mistake. Leaving the umbrella on the scene was actually a simple mistake. Moreover, there were fingerprints on it. At this time, the prisoner thought of a remedy. After receiving the report, he was the first to rush to At the scene, the fingerprints were wiped off without anyone noticing. Because it was still raining outside, the prisoner rushed to the scene with another black umbrella. Covering the eyes and ears of the victims' children, he wiped the fingerprints from the beginning to the end, and then walked out Inside the house, waiting for other colleagues to arrive. But here, he made another mistake. The way he used the black umbrella to make a golf swing was seen by the victim's son. He never dreamed that this action would happen fourteen years later Expose your crimes. Maybe you have developed a habit." Gong Yi stared at Kashiwahara, his throat was so thirsty that he smoked.

Kashiwahara slowly turned to Koichi, scanning him.There was no smile on Gong Yi's face, only anger and hatred remained. "Why didn't you tell Hagimura just now?" "Because I want to check for myself first. I want to hear the truth with these ears. Alone two." "Is that so." Saying that, Bai Yuan took another step. Gong Yi followed closely behind him, feeling complicated in every way. Throughout the case, Bai Yuan was the person he trusted the most.He was convinced that he put himself in their shoes more than anyone else.Now, he had to doubt this person, and had to face the fact that he was the prisoner.The case finally came to light, but he was not satisfied.Deep down in his heart, he had been secretly hoping that something went wrong.

The two looked at each other and walked silently.Soon, a flyover appeared in front of him.Kashiwahara walked up the stairs without making a sound, and Koichi followed closely behind. Walking to the middle of the overpass, Kashiwahara stopped.He raised his hands and stretched his body dramatically. "Tokyo's air is really bad. Sure enough, Yokosuka is the best." "Mr. Kashiwahara." Koichi called out, "You are the criminal! You killed our parents, right?" Bai Yuan lowered his hands, reached into the inner pocket of his suit, took out a pack of cigarettes, and took one in his mouth.I wanted to light a cigarette with a disposable lighter, but it couldn't be lit because of the wind.After repeating this several times, the fire was finally lit. He stared intently at Gongyi and slowly exhaled smoke rings. "Before I answer, I also want to ask you some questions." "what?" "The thing about the gold watch, that is, the thing about the candy box. Or the thing about the thief who sneaked into the DVD store and abandoned the car on the coast?" Kashiwahara pointed at Koichi with a cigarette in his hand, "It's all your masterpiece." Gong Yi remained silent.Not negating means acquiescing. "Sure enough." Bai Yuan said. "After collecting Togami Masahiro's fingerprints in the prefectural police headquarters, I sent him back to the store. On the way back, I tried to ask. It wasn't fourteen years ago, but recently, did you touch the suspected gold watch? Then, he recalled that the watch he picked up in the Hiroo parking lot was very similar to this watch. However, the watch had a label on the back. So, I was sure. Someone must be trying to frame Togami Masahyuki. Motivated There is no one else but you. At this time, I remembered that you asked to borrow the similar-looking personnel list before." Bai Yuan took a breath slowly, "I am afraid that Mr. Taifu saw Hu Shenzhengxing, and then found out that he was the person who happened that night. After learning this, you came to me to confirm whether the police investigated the transfer of ownership. However, as expected, you didn’t get it, so you took tough measures. Fabricating perjury evidence to make the police suspect Hushen." Koichi turned to Kashiwahara, leaning his back against the guardrail at the other end. "The real prisoner must be very puzzled. Evidence that the criminal pointed the finger at others appeared one after another." "It's done flawlessly. Whether it's stealing a car or capsizing a boat, the props are perfectly prepared. You are the one who planned these." "That's right." "Repeat, it's excellent. But I don't understand, why do you have to go around such a big circle? We found the suspicious man Taifu witnessed, so telling the police won't be the end of it?" "We also have our considerations. I don't think the police will do anything even then." Bai Yuan shook his shoulders and smiled. "It's really not. It should be said that it's just messing around." "Really? In the end we were just tossing around. In the end, the criminal was not Togami Masashiyuki." Kouchi suppressed the indignation that rushed to his forehead and said, "It's almost time to answer the question just now. It was the one who killed our parents. ..." The sound of footsteps walking up the overpass interrupted Kouichi's words.Soon, a woman with two small children appeared in front of them.Both children are boys.One was about ten years old, the other was even younger.Probably two brothers.The elder brother told the younger brother, who was laughing and playing and not walking well, to watch out for his feet. Mom and the children passed Koichi and Kashiwabara and went down the steps on the other side.Kashiwahara stared at their leaving figure intently. "It's like you back then." "I need to be bigger." "That's right." After Bai Yuan extinguished the cigarette butt, he stuffed the cigarette butt into his trouser pocket.His gaze was still fixed on the direction in which the mother and son left. "These things don't matter. Answer quickly! You are a prisoner!" Bai Yuan turned to Gongyi, his face was calm, without any trace of anxiety or embarrassment, his eyes seemed to be open-minded beyond everything. "I have a hunch this day will come. From that night fourteen years ago. From the moment I met you for the first time. I have a hunch that one day I will be caught by you." He is confessing a crime.Gong Yi felt his whole body start to heat up, but deep down inside was as cold as an ice cellar. "Why, Mr. Kashiwahara. Why did you kill them?" he asked.Even when the situation turned out like this, he still called him "sir", and he felt sad rather than angry. "For no particular reason, because I'm the bad guy. Bad and cowardly, so I did it." "This kind of reason is unacceptable. Why did you kill our parents? To be honest!" Tears welled up in my eyes, like a wild horse running wild, and it was hard to stop. Kashiwahara leaned on the guardrail of the overpass, his eyes fixed on Koichi with no emotional ups and downs. "money." "money?" "Well, for money. Your dad had two million that night." "Why does Dad have so much money..." "Repay the money from the gambling organization. It seems that he got it by running around. However, in fact, his loan is more than five million. He asked me to discuss it when he was in trouble. On weekdays, I said that I knew some famous people, so he I want to find a way. I agreed, but the condition is to give me two million first. I will go to withdraw the money that night." "However, you didn't intend to negotiate with the gambling organization in the first place, you just wanted to take the money for yourself." Gong Yi felt his expression gradually distort, "and then killed father and mother." At this time, Kashiwahara's expression fluctuated for the first time.He frowned, and there was a distress in the corner of his mouth. "I didn't intend to do that at first. I proposed to your father that I would borrow the money first. The price was to get rid of that gambling organization. However, your father didn't agree. He said that even so, the money would still have to be paid back. In the end, He angrily accused me of lying to him. During the quarrel..." Bai Yuan shook his head, "Don't make excuses. I killed your father. I need the money no matter what. Then I killed your mother who witnessed everything. That's it That's it." Every word Bai Yuan said was like a sharp knife piercing Gongyi's chest, not only that, but his heart was also in pain like a piercing bone.
