Chapter 34 Section VI

Kazuhiko Iseki was acquitted the next morning. "For you, I think this is an unpleasant encounter. We have to do this out of duty. Please understand this." Yabe said while sending Iseki off. Although Iseki looked tired, he still said with a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter, compared to the pain of losing a friend and a beloved girlfriend at the same time, this pain is nothing. "I don't think I will ever forget this in my life. What lies before my eyes is death." "I understand how you feel. What are your plans in the future?" "Going back to Sendai after attending the funeral, because staying in Tokyo will make me feel hurt..." Iseki said with a sad expression.No matter which angle you look at, he looks very sad.

While watching Iseki's thin back as he left the police station, Yabe thought maybe he might be a murderer. The incident ends here.Both newspapers and TV news reported that the incident was over, and weekly magazines also reported the incident as a triangle relationship, and some weekly magazines also involved Kuwahara Yumiko, saying that the tragedy was caused by the four-corner relationship. The report ends. After Yabe determined that this incident was forced to die for love, he felt a little empty in his heart, perhaps because it was not a vicious murder.This feeling of emptiness will persist until another event occurs.

Just when Yabe felt empty in his heart, detective Takimi came in and said that there was a person who wanted to meet him. "This person is a member of the Shinkikai, a painter named Fuutarou Egami." Detective Takimi said. "Egami Fuutarou?" Yabe thought that he seemed to have seen this name somewhere, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that this name had appeared in Mariko Tajima's diary. "What's up?" "He said he wanted to talk to you about the last incident, do you want to see him?" "yes?" Yabe felt very puzzled, the incident was closed as a forced death, there is no need to meet the artist Fuutarou Egami again, but...

"Just meet him!" Yabe agreed to meet Fuutarou Egami, one because he had time, and the other was that he came to visit specially, and it was inconvenient to refuse people thousands of miles away and let them be rejected, and there might still be some doubts left in his heart, thinking that It might be a homicide. Yabe meets Fuutarou Egami at the cafe on the fourth floor. "To bother you in your busy schedule..." Jiang Shang said with trepidation, his originally thin body looked even smaller. "No, it doesn't matter," Yabe said. "are you looking for me?"

"Yes. Because I really can't believe that Tajima-kun was forced to die for love, I came to ask you for advice." "I see. But there is no evidence of murder at all! What's more, among the members of the Shinkikai, some people think that Tajima Kohei encountered a bottleneck in painting, and because he couldn't overcome this bottleneck, he committed suicide." "It is a fact that Tajima-kun encountered a bottleneck in painting, because he has no formal education in painting." "That member also said that Tajima has no basis for painting."

"However, Tajima-kun has the ability to make up for this shortcoming." "It seems that you have a good impression of Tajima Kohei, and other people seem to be different from you." "There are some members who keep Tajima-kun at arm's length. The Xinjihui is a highly factional group. There is nothing to do. If you look at it from an academic point of view, Tajima-kun is a heretic. Generally speaking, Tajima-kun Jun should not join Xinjihui, because Xinjihui is not a place for him to stretch his original talents." "However, Tajima-kun's works were not only exhibited in the N exhibition, but also won awards, which made him famous in the painting circle."

"Yes. That was also the beginning of the tragedy. Anyway, Tajima-kun is a layman. With his little painting skills, it is too bold to want to exhibit in the exhibition. His winning the award made him encounter a bottleneck. However, he didn’t seem to notice that I told him several times that only the N exhibition is not modern art, and that modern art is not aimed at participating in the N exhibition. However, he couldn’t understand it, and because he couldn’t understand it, he was on the road to death. " Egami narrated the secrets of the painting world, but Yabe had no interest in it.

"That's why you don't think this incident was forced to die for love?" Yabe asked. Jiang Shang nodded and said, "I don't believe Tajima-kun would kill his wife at all, because he loves his wife very much." "But, if you love too deeply, don't you think of committing suicide? Instead of letting your wife hold Pipa, it's better to die together. This is also a manifestation of love!" "Although the words are good, there are also people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the happiness of the other party. The Tajima-kun I know is such a person."

"But, that's just your idea." Yabe said dully. "Imagination alone cannot turn forced love into a murder. Tajima Mariko's diary records that Tajima Kohei got potassium cyanate from a pharmacy, and Kuwahara Yumiko's testimony also proves that this is forced love. Your goodwill for Tajima Kohei is impossible change that fact." "Actually, that diary," Egami Fuutarou said politely. "Can you let me take a look? Because I think maybe I can find evidence that can prove that this incident is not forced to die for love." "Anyway, the case is closed, so it doesn't matter if I let you take a look." Yabe said with a wry smile. "You will absolutely not be able to find evidence from that diary that can prove that this incident was a homicide. It's not that I'm throwing cold water on you, that's the truth."

After Yabe finished speaking, he stood up briskly and brought Mariko Tajima's diary from the investigation room. "After you read it, please return it to her family, because I have already photocopied it." Yabe said while handing the diary to Fuutarou Egami. Jiang Shang looked at the diary on the spot, and it could be seen from his expression that he was reading the diary seriously.Soon, Egami Fuutarou looked up from his diary. Yabe looked at his face and asked: "How? After you read this diary, you no longer think that this incident is a murder, but a forced death for love, right?"

"Unfortunately, it's just the opposite." Egami Fuutarou said loudly. "Before I saw this diary, I was not sure that this incident was not a forced death for love. "However, after I read the diary, I finally became convinced that this incident was not a forced death for love, but a murder incident. Both Mr. Tajima and his wife were killed by Kazuhiko Iseki."
