Chapter 20 Section 8

"I didn't say it just now. In fact, there are still things I can't figure out." Kaga bit his gizzard and said, while Ota took a sip of wine, his eyes seemed to say, what is it this time? "It's Yasuko Mori's suicide. Why does she want to die?" Then Ota scratched his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Ah, that's the thing." "Actually, I haven't thought about it." "really." "It may be that she realized her crime, or she wanted to escape from this world because she was afraid of being chased by the police, but no matter what the reason was, the timing was perfect. Why did she want to die after saying goodbye to others?"

Maybe he got a little drunk after drinking the fourth cup, and Ota talked a little bit. "I don't think it's true if you're aware of the crime." As he spoke, Kaga poured himself beer. "She tried to kill Yagyu after Oda's death. If she had a conscience for her crime, she wouldn't have killed another person." "Although the reason may not make sense, it is very tangled." Ota waved the yakitori in his hand and said, "Yasuko went to visit Yagyu before she died. Seeing him being tortured so painfully by her, she probably realized her crime."

"Improbable. Yagyu was almost in good health at that time. Jingzi and the others went to visit him the day before he was discharged from the hospital. He should be alive and kicking." That's right, Ota whispered. "Or she was moved by the sincere friendship between Akiko and Konno, maybe she gradually hated what she did?" "It's not impossible, it just feels a little far-fetched." Kaga ordered another grilled chicken while drinking beer, and the boss responded angrily at the narrow counter. "As for me, I think she should have committed suicide because she was afraid of being chased by the police. As you said, the timing is indeed too coincidental, but it's impossible for her to know what's going on here, so the timing is just a coincidence. It's just Why she suddenly became afraid of being pursued by the police is still a question."

"Regarding this point, I still have to think about Liu Sheng. He had some kind of information, but Jingzi tried to kill him, but he had no choice but to be too heavily guarded. If this continues, the matter will be made public through Liu Sheng's mouth, so she can only give up and choose. Death—how, isn’t that a good hypothesis?” "I think it's not bad, but the premise of this idea must be that Yagyu has mastered something, but in fact that guy doesn't know anything. And this is already obvious, Jingzi should feel relieved at this time." The grilled chicken was on the table.Ota stretched out his hand first, he quickly finished one and said:

"Prisoners will not be at ease no matter what, and will think about everything in a bad way." "I know that." "To Yasuko, Yagyu's statement of 'I didn't find anything' itself sounds like she's lying, to this extent." Ota emptied his wine glass and refilled another glass, which was already the fifth glass. "Is this okay? Your wife will scold you again when you go back drunk." "What are you talking about? She won't complain at this level." Ota brought the cup that was about to overflow to his mouth, drank a fifth of it, and then looked at Kaga with a slightly tired expression.

"So that's how it is," said the old detective. "You don't marry a wife because you're afraid of being blamed by her. If you want to do that, don't worry. You just need to make good rules from the beginning." "It's not the reason." Kaga replied and drank the beer in one gulp. "What's the reason for that?" "It doesn't matter what the reason is, right?" "It doesn't matter, you put off the blind date." "Blind date? Why did you mention this all of a sudden?" "I said it as soon as I thought of it."

"It's nerve-wracking." Ota also introduced a blind date to Kaga, and Fui also introduced him twice, and the one who went to the ballet together was one of them. "Anyway, I don't really want to talk about my partner." "If you want to say that, you can only be a bachelor for the rest of your life. Police is not a popular profession. You don't seem to realize this." "I'm fully aware, but it really doesn't matter, and I want to find my own marriage partner." Ota snorted and drank another fifth of the glass. "Where did you just say that?"

"Speaking of Yasuko Mori, he was worried that Yagyu might know something." "Oh, yes." Ota shook his head and nodded. "She must have thought that Yagyu had discovered the secret behind Oda's visit to the United States." "But it's a strange thing to say." "What's wrong?" Ota stared at Kaga as if he was sober. "Even if she succeeds in killing Yagyu, will she feel at ease? If that guy is killed, we will definitely have to record a statement, and we will also be aware that that guy is investigating Oda's trip to the United States two years ago. Or say Even so, it doesn't matter, because she firmly believes that only Liu Sheng can discover this secret, and the police will never discover it?"

"It should be a firm belief, that's all I can think of." She really underestimated us, Ota added, a little slurred. "yes?" Kaga always felt that this was not the case.Even if you have already killed one person, you should try to avoid killing the second one as much as possible. Even if Liusheng may find out some secrets, generally speaking, you should wait and see what happens. You can keep track of the progress of the investigation in real time.Then if Liu Sheng didn't find anything and just gave up, then there would be no danger for the time being, and it wouldn't be too late to carry out the second phase of killing when the truth was approaching.

Why didn't she do it? Or is it too much to take care of? "I really don't understand." Kaga muttered softly and took a sip of beer.Then Ota said with a smile: "Yes, if you think about it more, you can grow up. The purpose of this difficult case is to train the criminal police." "Are you kidding? It's worth noting this kind of value." As he said that, another idea suddenly flashed in Kaga's mind, although it was simple, he never thought of it. "Ota-kun," Kaga said, "whether the failure to kill Yagyu will have no effect on Yasuko at all?"

"What's the meaning?" "If we want to talk about the impact of this attempted murder case, it is that the focus of our search is more focused on the incident of going to the United States two years ago. It happened when our search turned to Oda's trip to the United States." Ota was about to put the cup to his mouth, but put it back again. "Blindfolded?" "Compared to this, there are more urgent reasons. We have dispatched police officers to New York. If Yagyu's case did not happen, those police officers' investigations would be extended to all members of the dance troupe at all time periods. It has to be comprehensive and thorough. And because of that case, the investigation has focused on Oda's going to the United States." "That is to say, is Yasuko Mori worried that the police will find out anything other than Oda's trip to the United States?" "Yes, that means Oda's trip to America two years ago has nothing to do with this case." "So what's connected?" Kaga pressed the middle finger of his right hand to his temple, "It is said that Yasuko Mori went to study in New York, too?" "What happened four years ago!?" Ota tapped the bar, and the other customers looked at the two of them in surprise.
