Sure enough, it wasn't him——after breaking up with Qing Jiang, Kato thought as he walked towards the intersection of Omotesan Avenue.It is impossible for such a cowardly person to be an accomplice of Xin Hai Mifuyu. If you want to track down Shinkai Mifuyu, it is not enough to simply prove that she replaced the real Shinkai Mifuyu when the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake occurred. You must prove that there is an accomplice hidden behind the various incidents related to her.Therefore, Kato first set his sights on Qingjiang. It is an open fact that Qingjiang and Meidong are working partners.The two have the same interests, and it is likely that they not only have business on the surface, but also secretly conspired.

Before meeting Qing Jiang, Kato did some research.He achieved success after co-founding MON AMI with Meidong. He is currently one of the top beauticians and a popular celebrity.However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for him.According to related rumors, he was almost regarded as a suspect in the case of the female shop assistant being raped. Kato conducted a detailed investigation of the case.The police from the Yuchuan Bureau had a cold attitude, but they still gave him the materials at that time without hesitation. The content of the case and the investigation process attracted Kato's attention.Judging from the situation at the time, it was natural for Qingjiang to be suspected, but then a major reversal occurred.Qing Jiang insisted that the long lost pendant was found elsewhere.The police found out that Qingjiang lost the pendant before the case happened, and his suspicion was immediately eliminated.

The police of the Yuchuan Bureau speculated that someone might deliberately frame Qing Jiang.Kato thought so too, but his reasoning was a little different from theirs.He thought that it was not his enemy who framed Qingjiang, but his companions. What made him think this way was the skull and rose pendant. As he said to Qing Jiang, it is hard to imagine that two special pendants happen to appear in the same case.It is generally guessed that the person who wanted to frame Qingjiang bought another one from somewhere.How could it be so easy to buy a special pendant? Kato once consulted jewelry processing professionals, and also showed photos borrowed from Tamagawa Bureau, asking whether it would be troublesome to make the same thing.The man said that if you are a skilled worker, you can do it in one day, but if you want to make it exactly the same, you need a very high skill.

Skilled metalworkers—this is the third time this keyword has appeared.Needless to say, for the first time, there were traces of skilled labor in the parts of the device that emitted the poisonous gas in the Hwa House stench incident.The second time was when I went to BLUE SNOW, and the staff also commented on the trial products placed in the showcase in the same way. The person who laid a trap for Qingjiang must be Meidong, and I can't think of any other answer. If you structure the story from scratch, the content is as follows: First, Meidong ordered his accomplices to steal the skull and rose pendant from Qingjiang's room and asked him to make a replica that looked exactly like it.Then Meifuyu took the replica to the restaurant, and maybe her accomplices went together, and the restaurant's records would leave the name of the person who made the reservation and the number of diners.After eating quietly, Meifuyu deliberately threw the copied pendant in the restaurant, and the store kept it as lost property.

After the above-mentioned preparatory work was over, the accomplice acted again.He attacked MON AMI's clerk Nakano Ami according to Mifuyu's instructions.At that time, this person must have sprayed Qing Jiang's usual perfume on his body.After confirming that Ash was unconscious, the man left the pendant at the scene. There may be some deviations in the details, but the overall process should be carried out according to the above steps.In this way, we can understand why Qing Jiang was able to seize the perfect opportunity to go to the restaurant to find the pendant.I heard that Qing Jiang explained to the Yuchuan Bureau police: "I racked my brains to think about the place where the pendant was lost, and finally thought of the restaurant." But if such a favorite pendant is lost, it stands to reason that he would have found it long ago.It is estimated that he received Meidong's instructions, saying that he should treat it as lost in that restaurant and go to pick it up quickly.

The question is, why did Meidong frame her work partner Qingjiang?Kato was also unable to make detailed reasoning, but one thing can be imagined. Frame him deliberately, save him when he is in trouble-what effect will this strategy of being a good person after doing harm produce? It is Qingjiang's absolute obedience.Qingjiang must feel that Meidong has grasped her fatal weakness, and thus knows how powerful she is.He must have thought in his heart that he could never go against her wishes again. Kato thought, maybe Qingjiang wanted to break up with Meifuyu at that time.Wanting to know that after he made up his mind, Meidong chose not to intimidate, but to sell favors, so as to let him know how important her own existence is.Surely that woman could do such a thing.

According to this reasoning, Meidong's accomplice is not Qingjiang.After Kato met Qing Jiang, he became more confident in this inference.Qingjiang may be a puppet manipulated by Mifuyu, but only in terms of work.Even if he doesn't take into account the fact that he is good at metalworking, he has no ability to help crimes. Kato saw that Qingjiang actually had a bigger purpose. About Xinhai Meidong's past, he also asked Qingjiang just now, but he never expected to have a big harvest. His purpose was to let Qingjiang tell Meidong what happened today.In this way, she can know that there is a policeman surnamed Kato who is investigating her past.I don't know what countermeasures she will take.

To reveal Meidong's true identity, the shortcut is to find out her accomplices first.When will the accomplice behind the scenes act? Looking back at the previous events, we can easily get the answer: when people who are unfavorable to Meifuyu appear, such as Bangzhong, Soga, and even Qingjiang, Meifuyu uses this trick. What does she plan to do with me, a troublesome cop?Thinking of that time, Kato trembled all over, not because of fear, but looking forward to the moment when the witch's true face would be revealed.
