Chapter 70 Section VII

"We can sue you," Yabe said. "We'll see how you prove your innocence then?" "Diary of Mariko Tajima..." "Diary?" Yabe looked at Iseki's pale face with ironic eyes. "Where is that diary?" "Then..." Iguan was speechless for a moment, and Yabe saw the look of despair on his face. "Mariko Tajima's diary is indeed a castle to protect you, no, it can be said to be your amulet. "However, it has become your fatal point now. I handed that diary to Fuutarou Egami for safekeeping. He must have taken that diary to Sendai. However, after he disappeared, he did not find that diary among his belongings." The reason for this diary is very simple. Egami Fuutarou took that diary to meet the murderer, but was killed by the murderer. Therefore, Tajima Mariko's diary must now be in the hands of the murderer who killed Egami Fuutarou.

"I'm sure it must be in your hands. Once you are prosecuted, in order to protect yourself, you must submit Tajima Mariko's diary, because without that diary, there is no way to prove that you did not kill Tajima and his wife. "However, if you bring up that diary, you will be suspected of killing Fuutarou Egami. Therefore, now that diary is no longer a castle protecting you, but a weapon to assassinate you." "..." There was a gloomy silence, but Yabe thought this kind of silence was a good omen.Because the prisoner is like this before he confesses his guilt.

Iseki kept his head down without moving, probably savoring the feeling of failure?It is also possible that he is thinking about the last way to get rid of the crime. Yabe silently lit a cigarette, waiting for Iseki's reaction. "I admit it." Jingguan said suddenly.Yabe felt that the tense atmosphere was slightly relieved. Compared with victory, I feel that the incident is over, and my spirit is not as tense as before. Iseki took out the cigarette with trembling fingers, and Yabe helped him light the cigarette. "Thank you." Iseki said. "It is true that I killed those two people."

"Thank you." After Yabe blurted out this, he smiled wryly when he realized that the words were wrong. "However, there are two things I don't understand." "Is there anything you don't understand?" Jing Guan said with blinking eyes. "I think you should be very clear." "One is the matter of Kuwahara Yumiko, I think she was bought by you, but if she was bought by you, there are some things that make me puzzled. "You continued to paint in the name of Goto Tsuneo, and drew a picture of the ancient city of Aoba. I know your motives from that painting, but what puzzles me is, if she was bought by you, why did you put her on the other side? Where's the painting you're unfavorable for hanging in the bar?"

"What's the other thing?" "Although I have found the motive, I don't understand how pure competition can kill people? It may be cruel for me to ask..." "I'll answer you later." Iguan said with dark eyes, as if choking on a cigarette, coughed lightly and said, "Because I'm not in the mood to answer right now."
