Chapter 14 chapter 2

The venue for the wake is located in the assembly hall tens of meters away from Oda's apartment. People from Sakagi and other offices were walking back and forth, because most of the actors and dance drama related personnel were present, so it looked like that, but it is undeniable that the venue was surrounded by an uncoordinated The atmosphere is tight.It's no wonder that Oda's case has not yet been resolved, and the incident of Yagyu's almost murder in the daytime has spread again.This may be the reason, although there were a lot of people present, most of them left in a hurry after a while.I'm afraid everyone is worried whether the next target will be themselves.

Wei Xu sat at the farthest position from the coffin and drank some wine with Akiko and the others. Although he really wanted to get up early and leave, if they left, more dancers would definitely leave.Thinking of this, everyone felt a little sorry for Oda, so they didn't leave for a long time. "It can only be said that it is crazy." Konno, who was diagonally opposite, put his hands on his blushing forehead, "You really want to kill your partner, you are really crazy, what purpose did you have to go all the way to this day?" "Konno, you seem a little drunk, you've drunk too much."

Taeko Nakano said. "I'm not drunk, I'm just very angry. It is said that everyone should fight to complete the same dance drama, but there are traitors mixed in." "It's too loud." As soon as Jing Taeko reminded Konno, he closed his mouth and drank the wine in the cup. Weixu looked at him and remained silent, while Jingzi who was sitting next to her whispered in her ear, "Hey..." "Who was the last one to arrive at training this morning?" Asked by her, Wei Xu turned to look at Jingzi, did she also want to find out the person who mixed poison in the Liusheng kettle?

"Well, I forgot." Wei Xu replied, she didn't lie, she never kept this matter in her heart. "Is that right...that's right, I don't remember either." After Jingzi finished speaking in a low voice, he asked again, "Did anyone slip out in the middle of the practice class?" "I don't think so." "really." As she spoke, Jingzi bit her thumbnail, which was her habit when she was deep in thought. "Wei Xu and I left the locker room together this morning, and we've been together all this time, right?" she asked while biting her nails.

"Yes." Wei Xu replied. "Akiko is with you too?" "Ok." The three of them have been meeting in the locker room in the morning, and then go to the practice room when they are all together. "What did you say about me?" As if she heard the conversation between the two of Wei Xu, Akiko who was sitting opposite showed a puzzled expression.Wei Xu was hesitating how to answer her, Jingzi repeated the conversation just now, but Akiko still looked blank, "So what's the matter?" "I mean," Yasuko quickly scanned the surroundings, and leaned out to Akiko, "If you're with someone in the morning, it's impossible to poison Yagyu's kettle. I wonder if we won't Suspected?"

"Ah, so that's the case." Akiko nodded slightly as if she understood, but judging from her expression, she seemed not interested in Yasuko's point of view. "Although the words are good, it can't be said that they will never be suspected. For example, if someone might poison you before meeting everyone in the morning, can't it be done?" "But if that's the case, there might still be people in the men's locker room." Before Yasuko finished speaking, Akiko began to shake her head. "But there is no way to say for sure." Maybe because he couldn't refute her words, Yasuko lowered his head.Akiko smiled at her. "It's okay. I didn't say there would be a murderer among the three of us. I just wanted to show that the police are not so easy to deal with."

Then Jingzi lowered his head and said sorry softly. About an hour later, Wei Xu and the others prepared to leave, and as expected, the newcomers also took this opportunity to prepare to leave. After walking out of the venue, Akiko asked Wei Xu to accompany her for a while. She had planned to go to the station with Yasuko, but after saying hello to Yakiko, she walked out with Akiko. "Someone is following behind." After walking silently for a while, she said, Wei Xu looked back and found no one behind. "They tracked it really well." Akiko said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway."

She said the police. "Are they going to follow them all the time?" "Probably, until the case is resolved." There was melancholy in Akiko's voice. The two walked into the "NET BAR" they frequented, and after sitting down on the seats, they found two men who had never seen them sitting at the bar counter with their heads bowed and whispering. "Leave them alone." Akiko said, not looking at the men.Wei Xu just looked into her eyes and nodded. The boss came over, put a glass of whiskey and water with ice cubes in front of Akiko, and put a cup of steaming oolong tea in front of Wei Xu.He seemed to have noticed the identities of the two men, so he didn't come up to talk to them as usual, but returned to the bar without saying a word.

"Let me ask you straight to the point," Akiko said after drinking the whiskey in one gulp, "Do you have any guesses about Yagyu?" Wei Xu hesitated for a moment, and said what was in his mind, Yagyu seemed to be investigating Oda's trip to the United States two years ago. "I noticed this too, is there anything else?" No more, Wei Xu replied. "yes?" Akiko moved her eyes to the wall next to her, and the ice cubes in the cup made a rattling sound. "Hey, do you think it's the same person who killed Yagyu and Oda-sensei?" Wei Xu warmed his hands with a cup of oolong tea, and replied, "Although it's not very clear, I think it should be a person?"

"why?" "Because I think it is impossible for two or three people to do such an excessive thing at the same time." Then Akiko pursed her lips tightly, her expression relaxed a little, and she tied her long hair back. "Yeah, it's really overdone." Then she resumed her original serious expression and said, "If the murderer is the same person and among the members of the dance troupe, we must find a way to find it quickly. What method should we use?" Of course, Wei Xu couldn't have any idea about this method, so he took a sip of oolong tea in silence, and covered the cup with his hands again.

"Did Wei Xu talk to that Kaga detective today?" When Akiko said this, her voice was lower than before, Wei Xu nodded. "Did that person say anything about the case? For example, the murderer's conjecture or something." "No, he didn't say anything, he just asked a little bit about this morning." "Really, what a pity." As she spoke, Akiko picked up the whiskey and was about to put it to her mouth, but she stopped suddenly and put the glass back on the table. "Ms. Oda's shirt was wet," she said. "If this is also what the murderer did, then when the shirt is wet—that is, people who have a conclusive alibi before the start of class will be killed. Have the police cleared the suspect?" "I found out too." Wei Xu looked into Akiko's eyes and said. "Actually I asked everyone about it without any hesitation." "Alibi?" For some reason, Wei Xu felt a chill hit his back. "Yeah, I know the names of a few people who couldn't touch the teacher's shirt at that time. These people should not be suspected." As she spoke, Akiko dipped her fingertips in some water, and began to write in katakana on the surface of the table. These were the names of these people, Kaoru, Takako... There are six names in total. After Weixu raised her head, Akiko wiped off the name with a coaster and said, "Do you remember?" "But the police must have found out about this trivial matter," she said. Wei Xu picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, his mouth felt a little dry for some reason. "Hello, Weixu." After a little silence, Akiko looked at the cup with slightly wandering eyes, and whispered in her mouth. "Why didn't Liu Sheng die?" Hey?Wei Xu couldn't help but let out a loud cry.Although she felt that the detectives would hear it, Akiko didn't seem to mind. "I find it very strange." She continued, "When killing Oda-sensei, her crime plan was executed so perfectly, why did it fail this time?" "Because Liu Sheng drank less poison this time than the murderer expected, or he may have thought that the poison would be stronger." "Is that right?" Akiko seemed to disagree, and tapped her temple lightly, "However, if you really want to kill people, shouldn't there be other ways? For example, adding a large amount of poison." "yes……" Wei Xu could only tilt his head.She began to hate herself, why her mind turned so slowly, but she couldn't answer the question Akiko raised just now. "If the murderer didn't want Liu Sheng to die in the first place..." Hearing Akiko's muttering, Wei Xu opened his eyes wide, "How is it possible, why did he do such a thing?" And Akiko drank the whiskey and held the cold glass to her forehead. "Yes," she said, "there's no reason to do such a thing." But the light from her pupils, together with her pensive expression, seemed to never disappear.
