Chapter 22 Section 14

On the fourth day after Tomonaga was arrested, Yukawa called Kaoru and asked her if she could let him meet Tomonaga.Youyong is now being held in the detention center of the police station in the jurisdiction. He has confessed almost all his crimes and is estimated to be sent to the procuratorate soon. Kaoru went to Mamiya to discuss it, and the boss replied that she could.After she told Tang Chuan, he just thanked him briefly and hung up the phone. While waiting for his arrival, Kaoru couldn't calm down.What the hell is this physicist up to?Is it just to say goodbye to his former mentor?

When they showed the metal piece in front of Tomonaga, he immediately confessed his guilt.Compared with when Tang Chuan persuaded him to surrender, his attitude has changed 180 degrees, and he has no intention of refuting.Jiangong and the others said that this was because he had seen someone fishing in the pond beforehand, so he was already mentally prepared to plead guilty and punish the law. His confession of his motive for the murder was that he "couldn't just watch that kid eat himself poor." "Please imagine, even though he is my son, he has been separated since he was a baby and has never seen each other. How can I just watch him squander my precious wealth? I want to live a few more years , money is the only thing I rely on in life. I have asked him to move out several times, but he just refuses to listen, what else can I do?" Tomonaga calmly said to Kusanagi who was in charge of the interrogation.

He said that the purpose of calling the students home that day was to create an alibi. "If Namie and I were the only ones at home, the police would have suspected one of us. So I called them. I thought the plan was a complete success, but I didn't expect that Yukawa's guy was called. It became the biggest failure. He has a deep memory of the past, and I thought he had long forgotten the research results of that year." When Kaoru asked him how he felt when Yu Chuan persuaded him to surrender, Tomonaga said with a chuckle: "At that time, I thought I still had room to argue, but I didn't expect that he could even see through the traps on the internal phone and the walking stick." Yeah, what a tricky guy."

After noon, what he said was a tricky guy showed up.Yukawa was wearing a different suit from the one at the Tomonaga party today. "Teacher, how is his health?" He asked when he saw Xun's head. "He appears to be in good health and there is no need for a lengthy interrogation now." Kaoru and Yukawa waited in the interrogation room for a while, and Youyong came in accompanied by a policewoman.He was leaning on a T-shaped crutch in his hand, and he probably got out of a wheelchair in the corridor. Youyong sat down on the chair with a calm smile on his face.Seeing him sit down, Tang Chuan also pulled the chair and sat down.He had been standing up until now.

"What's the matter? Such an unlucky face?" Tomonaga said, "Shouldn't you be secretly proud? The reasoning is wonderful and rigorous, and it is beautifully confirmed. As a scientist, you should be satisfied, right? You should be even happier Or is it that you have a fire in your heart and blame me for not listening to your persuasion and surrendering earlier?" Tang Chuan took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, why don't you want to believe us?" Youyong lowered his face slightly in surprise: "What do you mean by that?" "Mr. Utsumi, although I don't know what he confessed to you before, but what he said is definitely not the truth. At least the motives for the killings are purely fabricated by him."

"What nonsense are you trying to say!" "Teacher, you actually expected this situation a long time ago... No, you did this case because you hoped it would happen, right?" Youyong's expression became stiff, and he scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, who in this world would intentionally kill someone just to get himself arrested?" "But there is one before me." "How is it possible! Pure nonsense!" "Teacher Yu Chuan, what's going on?" Kaoru asked. "Miss Interpol, you don't have to ask. Don't pay attention to what this kind of person says."

"Please shut up." Kaoru said, "If you don't keep your mouth shut, I'm going to ask you out—Teacher Yu Chuan, please speak." Tang Chuan swallowed his saliva and said: "Mr. I have always been puzzled by the act of showing me the cane. If I don't know the mechanism on the cane, I can't solve the problem of how he solved the position of the device." It’s a mystery. Thanks to the cane I saw before, I was able to complete the whole reasoning process smoothly. So I thought, Teacher, he is considering surrendering? Because it’s hard to make up his mind, so you want me to push him from behind?”

Kaoru listened on the sidelines, and finally figured out one thing: Because of this, Yukawa asked You Yong if he wanted to surrender himself. "After the teacher was arrested, I have been thinking about this problem. Then I suddenly thought, could it be that my thinking is completely wrong? In fact, all of this is under the control of the teacher, and the current ending is exactly what the teacher wants to achieve. Purpose. If you think about it this way, everything before it makes sense.” "How reasonable?" Kaoru asked. "I tried to imagine what the consequences of his arrest will be." After Tang Chuan said to Kaoru, he turned to look at his mentor, "Miss Namie will be very sad, of course, because of the upbringing The father who grew up was arrested. However, she was freed from the life of taking care of the elderly in wheelchairs all day long. This way, she was able to marry Mr. Konno who also had elderly people to care for. In addition Now, since Mr. Banghong is no longer alive, there is no obstacle preventing you from handing over all the property to her. This case, you did not initiate it for yourself, but purely to ensure Miss Namie's happiness .”

His astonishing words made Xun speechless for a moment.She adjusted her breathing and asked Youyong, "Is that so?" Youyong's face was ashen, his eyes widened, and his body trembled uncontrollably: "Nonsense...it's impossible. Why should I go to such trouble..." Xun was stunned, and looked at Tang Chuan: "Yes. If his purpose is to kill his son and put him in prison, then there is no need to spend so much trouble?" Tang Chuan smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "In terms of ordinary people, it is true. Just find some kind of knife to stab him to death, or strangle him to death. But these are impossible for him. To kill a young man, he has to show his housekeeping skills and let the 'metal magician' appear. However, once magic is used, there is a big problem: the police may not be able to find out how to kill."

"Ah!" Xun couldn't help exclaiming. "Because of the impact of the explosives, a fire will definitely break out at the scene. Since the victim is asked to stand by the window, the crucial weapon will fly into the pond. Since the police don't know that there is such a person in this case' Because of the existence of a metal magician, he must firmly believe that the victim was injured by a sharp object. Even so, his murder plan was perfect, but he could not achieve his intended purpose. Therefore, he took a People who knew about his magic tricks and had some contact with the police were called over."

"And this person is Mr. Yu Chuan, you..." Yu Chuan nodded slowly: "The reason why he showed me his cane at that time was for me to uncover this mystery. Mr. Youyong, you are not only a famous person who manipulates metal, but also a master in manipulating others. You can also be called a magician. I was completely manipulated by you." Yu Chuan exhaled heavily, looked at Kaoru, "I'm done talking." "But in that case, wouldn't it be enough for him to surrender himself? Because even if he surrendered, our police would arrest him." "You are right, but I am afraid that if you surrender yourself, the sentence may be reduced as appropriate." Kaoru gasped, she already understood what Yu Chuan wanted to say. "Generally speaking, suspects hope that the court can give a lighter sentence. However, this case is an exception. The suspect in this case hopes to extend the sentence as much as possible. If possible, he even hopes that he can die in prison. So he absolutely cannot turn himself in. He can only implement his own murder plan, and then wait for the police to show evidence in front of him before confessing helplessly—such a story is indispensable to him.” Youyong drooped his head, his seemingly hopeless expression exuded a sense of reassurance. "Why do you think the teacher has been refusing to adopt Miss Namie as an adopted daughter?" Kaoru shook his head puzzled. "That's because once adopted as an adopted daughter, it will be her duty to take care of the teacher. Although the teacher accepts her care on weekdays, but teacher, I have never felt that she thinks that taking care of you is a painful thing." After speaking, Yu Chuan lowered his head for a while, then raised his head again as if he had made up his mind. "I have already talked with Ms. Namie, and she has also stated the relationship between her and the victim." Yu Chuan said. Youyong shuddered, his eyes widened: "Could it be..." "She told me that maybe my father already knew about it. You better understand what it is, because I really don't want to say it." Speaking of this, Kaoru sensed something intuitively, and said without thinking: "It can't be that there was a physical relationship between Ms. Namie and the victim..." "Naturally, the two are not in love." Tang Chuan said, "But she endured it because she didn't want to hurt the teacher; she didn't choose to leave, because she thought she had to take care of the teacher." Youyong's expression became more and more painful, and the muscles in his cheeks spasmed. "One more thing, teacher," Tang Chuan continued, "Teacher, you are not only her relatives, don't you have us? That's why I asked you at the beginning why you refused to trust us." Tomoe looked up, his eyes red with bloodshot eyes. At this moment, Kusanagi opened the door and walked in, whispering something in Yu Chuan's ear. "Just let them in." Tang Chuan replied in a low voice. Not long after, three men came into the house. Because I had asked them about the situation before, Kaoru still remembered their last names: Yasuda, Imura, and Okabe—the three students of Tomonaga who attended the party that day . "You..." You Yong murmured. "I called them here." Tang Chuan said, "I'm afraid I will be on the witness stand in two days. I plan to say what I just said in court at that time, and I implore you to reduce your sentence as appropriate." No matter what you think, teacher, I will do my best to get you out of prison one day earlier, teacher. At the same time, the few of us will take corresponding responsibilities. When the sentence is over, please come to us. Please." All the others stood together with Tang Chuan and lowered their heads. Youyong stretched out his right hand to cover his eyes, his body was trembling, and he whimpered. "I really convinced you." He said with the corners of his mouth upturned, "I didn't expect the result to be like this. I was tricked by you. Oh, I really convinced you." It is old tears. "You have changed. You used to be only interested in science. When did you start to understand people's hearts?" Tang Chuan smiled slightly: "The human heart is also a kind of science, and it is extremely profound." Tomonaga gazed at his student and nodded. "That's right." He lowered his gray head as he said, "Thank you."
