Chapter 57 Chapter Thirty-Two

"So, you said you killed someone, is that person Sanzao?" "Yeah, otherwise who do you think it is?" "Does it need to be said? Of course it is the geisha Changji. In this murder case, besides Changji, there are no other victims?" "Ah, yes, I forgot." I was speechless at the moment, looking at Kono's expression which was very different from usual.what the hell is it?Was there something fundamentally wrong in this murder case? "Changji didn't die at all. She wasn't injured at all, she just disappeared completely. I was so concerned about myself that I forgot to tell you the most important thing for a moment. Sanzao was the only one who died."

When I was frightened by the image in the spy mirror, I once doubted it.At the time I wondered if it was just a play.However, as I explained at the time, all sorts of things happened later that did not allow me to make that assumption.Looking back, when Kono explained the cause and effect lightly, it made me feel like I was being tricked, and I couldn't believe it for a while. "Really?" I asked half-believingly, "Would the police work so hard for a person who didn't die at all? I'm completely confused by what you said." "Of course," Kono was terrified, "because I played a silly little trick, which caused a trivial matter that was originally insignificant to gradually turn into a thorny problem, and finally even took a life."

"Can you start from the beginning?" I didn't know where to start, so I could only ask him like this. "Of course, I'm about to tell you the details. First of all, I have to admit that I have a close relationship with Changji. She and I are actually childhood sweethearts. Speaking of which, you should be able to guess nine out of ten." I can't forget her as a childhood sweetheart. After she left her hometown and went out to work, I still had trysts with her frequently. But I was poor (hearing this, I couldn't help thinking of the bundles of banknotes in his handbag), and I couldn't see her as I wanted. Besides, I'm a wanderer, and sometimes we don't see each other for a year or so. It's the same this time, although I heard that she was near the lakeside pavilion a year ago (this must have led me to One of the motives in this mountain), but I don’t know her stage name or which town she works in. The day before the incident, I found out that Changji was my lover. She should have often come to the lakeside pavilion to perform, But for some reason, we never met once. Just the day before the murder, we accidentally met each other in the corridor and recognized each other, so I said 'excuse me' and quietly took her into my room. Talking about all the things since the parting. Considering that we don't have much time, I will skip the details. Anyway, at that time, she burst into tears and kept saying 'I want to die, I want to die', and finally even forced me Die in love with her. She has an introverted personality and a little hysteria, which is why she said such things, but she has never liked the geisha industry. After coming to work in Y Town, she did not make close friends. She was embarrassed by the peers around her. In addition, her employer was a mean guy. Some time ago, a rich man named Songcun wanted to redeem her body, and the urging became more and more urgent. The employer simply threatened her. Doubling her debts, transferring her to other employers, forcing her into a difficult situation, in which case she would seek death, which is normal in her personality. Despite these unclear reasons, but The thing I can't let go of is her deep affection for me. As long as I can do it, I really want to hold her hand and go far away.

"However, at this juncture, I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, and a strange thing happened suddenly. If there were no such conditions to fuel the fire when the sudden incident happened, things shouldn't be so big, but misfortunes never come singly (This is very selfish.) The conditions are all ready. The so-called 'that condition' is your peeping mirror. In fact, I have known that device for a long time. It can be regarded as a bad habit of mine. I have a detective addiction to spy on other people's privacy. When I first found out, I even sneaked into your room and took a peek."

Taking advantage of the pause between Kono's speech, I hurriedly interjected.His confession did not touch the most doubtful part for a long time, I really couldn't bear it, so I went straight to the point: "You said that Changji is not dead, I really think it is unreasonable. Whose bloodstain is on the locker room floor? Didn't the doctor of the Medical University prove that it is indeed human blood. Otherwise, where did you get it from?" So much blood?" "Okay, don't be so impatient. If you don't explain it in order, I will be confused. It will soon talk about the blood on the floor."

Kono stopped my doubts and continued his long confession.
