Chapter 21 Section 9

"There are two people?" Mukai frowned. "It makes sense to think about it this way." Kato said at Mukai's desk, but he felt that this kind of argument would definitely not be accepted. Mukai gently folded his arms and looked up at his subordinates. "You mean there are two perverts?" "It's not clear whether it's a pervert, but I think it's not just Hamanaka who is following the female shop assistant in Huaya, there is another one somewhere. According to Hamanaka himself, he only followed Xinhai Mifuyu." "Didn't Xinhai deny the relationship with Bangzhong?"

"It may not be true, and she has to consider the situation where she still has to continue working in the company." "You think Hamaka's target is only Shinkai, and he didn't do anything to the other shop assistants?" "If Hamanaka acts suspiciously towards everyone, then he should deny it to everyone. I don't understand why he only confessed to doing that to Shinkai." "I was discovered when I stole the letter, so I can't justify it." "In this regard, Bangzhong said that he felt that Xinhai had a new boyfriend and wanted to find out who it was, so he stole the letter. I think this motive is very convincing."

"Go ahead." "Would a man who is so jealous of Shinkai pay attention to other women at the same time? I think that the note that Akiko Hatayama received was similar to a threatening letter. I think it was written by another person out of other jealousy." "So you said there are two perverts." Mukai grinned slightly, "According to your understanding, two people happened to appear at the same time, and they both had the same feelings for the female salesperson in Huawu's jewelry store. Emotions. Two people have the same jealousy towards different women at the same time, one steals the letter, and the other puts a poison gas device in the store. Hey, Kato, do you think this is possible?"

"Leader, do you know the word stalker?" "what?" "Stalker. A word that has attracted much attention in the United States, it translates to stalker." "I know very well that you are familiar with the situation abroad. What happened to the stalker?" "Stalker is a kind of mental illness. Because I like the other party too much, if I can't control the other party's daily life, I feel uneasy. I think Hamaka's behavior towards Xinhai is like this. This kind of stalker is increasing year by year, and maybe it will become a problem in Japan sooner or later. .”

"You mean the number of stalkers is increasing, and it's not surprising that there are two people in the same period?" "Indeed, in this case, everything happened at the same time, too much in sync." "You think too much. Kato, you are usually a rationalist, why come up with a paranoid answer this time?" "Suppose it wasn't a coincidence?" "What did you say?" "Assuming that Bangzhong was the stalker, another person knew about Bangzhong's actions and took the opportunity to act as a second stalker. The method was exactly the same for this reason. Later, that person wanted to blame Bangzhong and poison gas..."

Before Kato could finish speaking, Mukai started shaking his head. "You also said just now that stalker is a kind of mental illness, that is to say, the onset has nothing to do with the person's will. Therefore, it is impossible to become mentally ill because of the rare opportunity." "So," Kato continued, licking his lips, "the second person is not a psychopath, but pretending to be a stalker." Xiang Jing showed surprise. "why?" "This is not clear. Team leader, have you read the report sent by the Scientific Research Institute yesterday?"

"You mean the technical stuff?" Kato nodded. "The report states that the machined part of the part has been highly polished, and it can be judged that it was done by a person with first-class technology-is that so? An amateur who likes to carve jewelry can't do this anyway." "Do you think this is the second stalker?" Mukai shook his head again, "Sounds interesting, but you can't investigate it just by thinking." "but--" "What you should do," Mukai said calmly, "is to investigate whether there are such skilled people around Hamaka, and have not concluded that Hamaka did it alone."

"Stalkers often act alone." "Stop talking about stalker!"
