That night, Ueno and Motoki came to Taisan's house. Taizo, Yuriko, and Yoshie were eating, but the food was as hard to swallow as sand in their mouths. "You've worked hard, are you tired?" Tai San greeted them, the two assistants bowed deeply, and Tai San let them into the reception room. "We came so late because we have something important to tell the teacher." Ueno spoke in a different tone than usual, while Motoki sat aside. Tai San looked at the two with some surprise: "Important thing?" Ueno glanced at Motoki, then stared down at his hand. "There was something strange last night."

"Last night? After leaving here?" Ueno nodded, "To be specific, after I arrived at the hotel. The first thing I did when I arrived at the hotel was to take out the thesis materials, but I found that there was a page missing. My first reaction was to ask someone to pass it on for me... ..." "This kind of thing happened before, and the emergency was sent by fax." Taisan said. "It's nothing in itself, but the problem is..." Then, Ueno closed his mouth and licked his dry lips with his tongue, "Just now the teacher also said that there was such a thing before, and I asked Kanzaki-kun to send it by fax at that time, because he is the closest to the school. We usually If he forgot to do anything in the laboratory, let him go back and deal with it."

"Well, that's right." Taisan was a little impatient, but Ueno just wanted to clarify the matter as soon as possible, so he didn't notice the change in the teacher's mood. "Actually, this time I also contacted Kanzaki-kun first, but I called several times and he didn't answer. That's why I felt strange, because no matter how much I slept, I would be woken up by such a loud ringtone." .” Tai San's hand reaching for the cigarette case stopped, "He wasn't home at that time...do you mean that?" "...I think so." "About what time was it?"

Ueno closed his eyes gently, as if he was counting the time in his mind, "That happened not long after I arrived at the hotel, it should be around one thirty." At this moment, Taisan heard the sound of something being smashed outside the door, so he stood up, walked over and opened the door. Yuriko stood blankly outside the door, her eyes were looking in Taizo's direction, but in fact her empty eyes showed that she didn't see anything.At her feet lay the silver tray, and the coffee cup had been shattered, spilling coffee, mate, and sugar. "Yuriko, is that person Kanzaki?"

This sentence seemed to wake her up, and then she stepped back as if afraid of something, and suddenly turned and ran towards the gate. "stop!" Taisan shouted and chased after her, and caught her just as she was about to rush out of the gate.At this time, Ji Jiang also ran over, and the two assistants followed behind blankly. "Let me go, let me go." "Be sober." Taisan's palm had already landed on Yuriko's face, and then, as if trying to pull out all the strength in her body, he shook her shoulders vigorously with both hands, "You understand, that man wants to I killed you, but now I killed Naoko by mistake. Naoko is dead! He is a murderer!"

"Nonsense! There's no such thing. There must be a mistake, and I believe him!" "Is it wrong? Isn't that man's lie exposed now? There are witnesses!" "That's not true. He's not going to kill me anyway." "It's because the affair with you was exposed. He was worried that I would drive him away if I found out. Then, he would be kicked out of the genetics subject forever. That's why he did this. That guy used to be a A scheming person, you can't even understand such a simple thing...you are such a stupid child." "let me go!"

"Enough is enough!" Tai San slapped her again, then grabbed her body with both hands and stared blankly at the others. "Yoshie, take Yuriko back to the room and let her wake up well. Then you call the police station and call that... the policeman during the day?" "Is it Officer Takama?" "That's right, it's him. Ask him to come here, needless to say what to do, just let him come over." "Understood." Yoshie dragged and hugged Yuriko away.Watching them go in, Taisan turned his eyes to his two assistants. "Excuse me, can you go to the reception room again? I still have something to ask."

After hearing what Ueno and the others had said about the phone call last night, Detective Takama immediately called the bureau and asked the bureau to contact Kanzaki head-on.The police officer's tone was a little excited, which even Taisan could hear. "Thank you for providing such important information, it may play a key role." Takama saluted and thanked the two of them, but Ueno and the others sat there with complicated expressions.It is easy to understand the mood of the two of them after the incident with this kind of colleague relationship in the same laboratory. "So, what you just said was..."

Takama scratched his head while looking at the book, "It's about Kanzaki's pursuit of Ms. Yuriko... When did Ohara-san know about it?" "I don't know at all." Taisan closed his eyes and shook his head lightly, with a painful expression on his face, "So, I'm blaming myself for being so careless now! Anyway, Yuriko didn't tell me anything." "do you know?" The detective turned around and asked the two assistants again.Ueno and Motoki also replied in a low voice that they didn't know at all. It must be Kanzaki's unilateral pursuit of Yuriko, but Yuriko doesn't know it-this is a situation imagined by Taizo.Maybe Kanzaki will be arrested by the police soon, maybe the police will tell the news that Yuriko is pregnant, so it is better to ask the detectives to investigate.The police will not believe the criminal's words 100%, not to mention that Yuriko's pregnancy will not change the fact that Kanzaki committed a crime.During this period, Yuriko was asked to secretly abort the fetus, and Hayama was asked to prove that it can be said that Kanzaki vented his anger because of his arrest and said Yuriko was pregnant.

Taisan had told his assistant in advance not to disclose Yuriko's pregnancy. "Can I ask your daughter a few questions?" Takama asked as if he had some concerns.Tai San thought about it for a while, then shook his head to indicate that he couldn't do it today. "Just a simple question." The criminal policeman was still insisting. "So much has happened today, she's exhausted and she's already lying down and resting. I don't want to talk about it today. If you have to ask, please ask tomorrow." This is also reasonable.So the police officer didn't insist anymore, "Then, I'll come back tomorrow morning."

At this moment, the phone in the reception room rang, and Jijiang immediately picked up the phone, but then said: "Mr. Police, your phone." He handed the receiver to Gao Jian. "Hello, it's me." Gao Jian put the phone to his ear and listened, but soon Tai San noticed that the expression on his face changed suddenly. Yuriko was lying in a room on the second floor.This was originally a guest room, but now Ji Jiang put a bed.The room was pitch black, and Yuriko just lay there without lighting a lamp. At this time, there was a knock on the door. Seeing that there was no movement inside, the door was pushed open a crack, and a ray of light came in. "Did you sleep?" Tai San asked. "What's the matter?" a very vague voice. He pushed the door open a little more, and then walked into the room, without turning on the light or closing the door, and went straight to the bed. "What are you doing?" It was Yuriko's angry voice, while looking up at his father.The light in the corridor came in from the open door and shone on Taizo's face. He sighed helplessly, then lowered his head and said, "Kanzaki...he committed suicide."
