He tried his best to pull himself back from the brink of eruption, but the next wave of anger became even more menacing.From the cracks in the broken heart, hate bubbling up. "I can't forgive you! These words... I can't stand it anymore. For money, you actually killed our parents for money, you are too cruel!" Gong Yi clenched his fists tightly. When he was about to step out, Bai Yuan reached out to stop him. "Don't come here. You'll get in trouble." "what are you saying?" "I think I should have done this a long time ago. That night was good, and the day my son died was also good. Why have you lived until now?" As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yuan turned around and stepped over the guardrail.

Gong Yi held his breath.He couldn't utter a word, and he couldn't move his body. Kashiwahara looked at Koichi. "Don't be like me." With that said, he disappeared over the guardrail. The sound of hitting the ground, the sound of brakes, and the muffled crashing sound all entered Gong Yi's ears one by one.There were also screams and roars. However, Gong Yi stood motionless.The wind on the flyover made the body icy cold. Koichi received the call from Hagi Village three days after Kashiwahara committed suicide.At a hotel in Hakozaki, the two met. "Sorry for contacting you so late." Hagimura apologized, "The follow-up work took a while. Because the media is watching everywhere, it is quite tricky."

"Because it has become big news, I can guess that you must be very busy." Before the statute of limitations approached, the criminal in the robbery murder case committed suicide, and he was also a policeman involved in the search, so it was only natural that he would cause a big commotion in the media.However, the details have not been reported by the media. "I heard that there is a confession?" This is what Gongyi heard on the news. "Before he committed suicide, he called the Yokosuka Police Station. He said he would hand over the envelope in the bottom drawer of the desk to the director. The person who answered the phone asked him in a daze, but he hung up the phone without answering. Hagi Village looked at Koichi, "I made the call when I was with you."

"I remember. Before the conversation, he walked and typed. At that time, I didn't expect the content to be like this." "Inside the envelope was a confession. We're sure he wrote it himself. It said he was the real prisoner. The letter looked like it had been written a long time ago. At the end, he wrote that when we read the letter, he It is no longer in this world, so it can be regarded as a suicide note." Thanks to this confession, Koichi was not suspected of killing Kashiwahara.Of course, after his suicide, Koichi was questioned by the police for a long time.

"Mr. Togami's fingerprints were also found on the umbrella kept by Mr. Togami. Now, the 'Ariake' incident can finally be settled. The murderer committed suicide before the statute of limitations expired." "Can I take a look?" "I also said on the phone, sorry, it can't be done. However, I can answer truthfully. What do you want to know?" "Motive, of course." "I don't know about that either. There's not much difference between what's written in the confession and what he told you." "However, I really can't understand killing people for money. It's not that I don't know his character, I don't think he would do such a thing." Gong Yi scratched his head.

Hagi Village took a sip of coffee, "Hey—" heaved a long sigh: "For my son." "Eh?" "I went to his ex-wife and asked about the situation at the time of the crime. According to her, she and Mr. Baiyuan... Baiyuan's son suffered from a congenital disease since he was a child. The disease can only be cured by surgery, but the operation requires A lot of money. The ex-wife cried and ran to the ex-husband, and the ex-husband asked him what he could do? Then, a few days later, he took out two million." Hagi Village nodded slightly, looking at Koichi, "This Let's understand."

Gong bit his lips tightly, and the entanglement in his heart became more and more intense.He thought the reason was at least to repay the debts he owed from gambling and relationships.Now that he was like this, he couldn't be cruel enough to hate this murderer who killed his father and mother. "He said his son died." "Well, he passed away. Although he underwent surgery, he was still unable to recover." Hagimura continued, "It must be God's punishment." Koichi frowned, and squinted at Hagimura, "Please don't say anything strange." "Sorry." Hagi Village immediately apologized, and he seemed to notice his nervousness.

"I myself have mixed feelings. For the investigation of the 'Ariake' incident, he was more enthusiastic, devoted, and even persistent than anyone else. However, looking back now, everything he did was just to hide his crimes. It's only natural that he tried his best to find the man Taifu-kun witnessed. Because the man might know something, he wanted to find him first. On the other hand, he didn't care about investigating the plastic umbrella. This kind of thing is useless at all. In fact, this umbrella is a fatal crime for him.” "Keep in touch with me for the same purpose." Koichi said, "He is afraid of what we will remember and discover."

"Who knows. However, one thing I can be sure of is that he cares for you from the bottom of his heart." "Parents who killed their children but really cared about them?" "Compensation... No, it's not right. Maybe there are two people living in that person's heart. A man who kills for the child and a man who sympathizes with the victim's child. Well, these are just my personal guesses." Hagimura scratched his head and looked at Gongichi, "Speaking of which, there is also a confession in the envelope. It explains other crimes he committed."

"Other crimes? What?" "The thing about the gold watch and the candy box. And the DVD found in the lost car, the overturned boat, the suicide note found on the shore, and he said he did it all." Gong Yi couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "No way..." "He said that turning the police's attention to Togami Masashiyuki can delay the few days before the statute of limitations. Because this confession and the confession of the 'Ariake' incident were not written with the same pen, it should have been written later Well. I think it was probably recently."

Gong Yi blinked his eyes and took a sip of water.Complicated emotions filled my chest. "How did the police handle this?" "Although I have some doubts in my heart, the police will not investigate deeply. Because the search for the 'Ariake' incident has come to an end." Hagimura looked intently at Koichi.Koichi looked away. He didn't know why Kashiwahara left the confession.However, the suspicion that they fabricated evidence was wiped out. "Any more questions?" Hagimura asked. "No... my mind is blank now." "Well. I also want to ask you something, but let's forget about it today. I don't think it's an important question." Hagi Village picked up the bill, "We can talk about it after a while, what do you think?" Gong nodded.However, he wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do. After Koichi explained the whole story, Taisuke and Shizuna remained silent.The two of them occupied two beds as usual, Taifu was sitting cross-legged, and Shizuna was lying on her back. "The truth of the matter is like this. To be honest, I'm still in a mess. But anyway, everything is over." Gong Yi looked down at the two of them, "You two also have a talk." Taifu kept a straight face, but Shizuna remained silent. Gong Yi scratched his head: "What dissatisfaction do you have with me?" Taifu finally spoke, "It's not that I'm dissatisfied with my brother." "Then why don't you say anything?" "I don't know what to say. To be honest, I don't have much impression of the Kashiwahara policeman. My brother sees him often." "I'm angry that I see him often, but I didn't realize that he is a prisoner?" "No. Didn't I say that there is no dissatisfaction? I'm just thinking about what we have done so far? When I think that we are completely different from the beginning to the end, I feel inexplicably empty, like a fool." "It's not completely different. It's because of a lot of work beforehand that we can hear this from Hushen." "It's thanks to Xingcheng's help that I can talk to God of Hu. The reason why Xingcheng did this is because he fell in love with Jing. If he wasn't tempted..." The pillow hit Taifu straight in the face.The culprit is of course Shiina. "What are you doing?" "You are! Don't say something inexplicable." "What I'm saying is the truth. Don't you feel angry?" "It's annoying. Enough!" Jing Nai got off the bed, picked up the bag beside her, and walked towards the entrance. "Where are you going?" Koichi asked. "go back." "Already relieved?" After hearing this, she stopped with her shoe-wearing hand and turned around. "How can the fact that the parents were killed be relieved. But there is nothing we can do, isn't it? The only thing we can do is to forget about it early. Although I don't think it is possible." She waved her hand dejectedly, pushed open the door and walked out. Koichi looked up at the ceiling and let out a long sigh. "Brother, what should we do in the future?" Taifu asked. "What should I do?" "Our life. Brother, didn't you say it before. This is our last job. After the end, we will wash our hands completely and no longer live by fraud." Gong nodded. "This idea has not changed. From now on, let's live a decent life." "Even so, I don't think that's enough." "Not enough? What's not enough?" "When I heard the truth of the case, I thought about it. Even though it was for the children, I would never forgive Kashiwahara who killed our parents for money. This kind of dirty money can't save the children. Happiness or something is too self-deceiving.” "Taifu, you..." "I'm going to surrender myself. Make a good atonement and live a new life. If I don't do this, I won't be at ease for the rest of my life." Tai Fu smiled, "It's okay, I'm still young." Koichi involuntarily frowned.To make this determination, Taifu must have gone through a psychological struggle.I'm afraid it's not a recent idea, but I've been thinking about it for a long time.He hated himself for being slow, and he didn't notice his younger brother's distress at all. "Got it. I'll go too." "No. It's enough for me to surrender myself. The victims have never seen their brother." "The point of the problem is not this. Do you think I will accept this reason? Do you think I am this kind of person?" Hearing what Koichi said, Taisu bit his lips in pain. "But," Koichi said. "If the two surrender themselves together, there will be residual problems." "Yeah." Taifu nodded, "We can't leave Jing alone. Because we have a deep bond with each other." "That's right." Koichi replied. Facing his desk on the table covered with a brand new tablecloth, Xing Cheng confirmed the content of the invitation letter. The opening day of the "Togami Tei" Azabu Juban store is imminent.Invitations are expected to be sent out today. After confirming that the wording was correct, he breathed a sigh of relief, "The store manager, there are customers." A male staff member reported, "He claimed to be Mr. Ariake." Xingcheng hurriedly got up: "Please come in." Not long after, Ariaki Kou, who was wearing a black jacket, walked in, and he nodded to Xingcheng to say hello. "Welcome, sir. Please take a seat." Xing Cheng pointed to the seat opposite, "Do you want coffee or black tea?" "No need. Compared with this, I have something important to talk about." His tone was a little blunt.
