Under the habit of the criminal police, Kashiwagi began to search the house.If this was a murder case, the culprit should still be hiding here.Colleagues went up to the second floor, while Kashiwagi searched around the first floor.Living room, dining room, kitchen, nanny's room, bathroom, toilet, no one was found anywhere.The colleague who came down from the second floor also shook his head. "There are the owner's room, the child's room, and the guest room on the second floor, but no one was found." Kashiwagi walked out of the house, and the remaining two colleagues were talking about what happened in the house.

The three colleagues who monitored the northeast corner, northwest corner and southeast corner of the rectangle formed by Xiaoshan's house and the empty house, the three of them took their positions at 2:30 in the afternoon, and all three said that they did not see anyone entering or leaving the Xiaoshan's house and the empty house. Room. The same is true for Kashiwagi, who is watching from the southwest corner. He only sees the girl at 2:00 pm and the boy at 3:25 pm. Cypress trees circled the perimeter of the house.The only footprints left on the muddy ground of the courtyard were Kashiwagi and three of his colleagues.

That is to say, after four o'clock when the rain stopped, no one came in or out of Sasayama's house.The only ones who had entered the house before that were Kaoru Shinoyama and Masumi Onitou. There is no one else in the family. If it was before 2:30 when his colleagues were in place, it was indeed possible to go in and kill the girl through the back door that Kashiwagi couldn't see, but it was impossible to kill the boy.So, isn't this a murder, but a death for love? After the boy stabbed the girl with a dagger, he stabbed himself in the chest with the dagger and died like that without pulling it out?

One of the colleagues contacted the Ogikubo Department with the phone in the living room. Fifteen minutes later, the criminal police from the search department rushed over. Fifteen minutes later, the detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department's first search section arrived, and the quiet residential street began to stir up commotion. Kashiwagi saw a man who looked like an intellectual with glasses and a wide forehead from the criminal police of the first search section. He was Eto Detective in the same period as Kashiwagi at the Police Training Institute - now renamed the Police Academy - and Kashiwagi.

The giant and vicious Kashiwagi can't be seen as anyone other than a criminal policeman. Compared with him, Eto feels like a bank clerk.But for some reason, he and Kashiwagi are congenial, and have been in touch since graduating from the police training school. "I heard that boys and girls who were high school students died, and you are the one who discovered the remains, right?" Eto replied: "Yes. High school students named Onitou Masumi and Shinoyama Kaoru." "Even the name has been confirmed, as expected of you." "Actually, I met them by chance about two months ago. They helped them when they were stalked by hooligans in Shinjuku."

Later, Kashiwagi told him that he and his colleagues monitored the empty house and Xiaoshan's house from 2:30 in the afternoon to expose smuggled cigarettes. "Koru Sasayama went home at 2:00 p.m., and Masumi Onitou visited Sasayama's house at 3:25 p.m. Other than that, no one else came in or out. The same goes for my colleagues, and they didn't do anything until they found out that the smuggling cigarette dealer had entered the back door of the empty house. No one has been seen coming in or out." "really? Thank you." "I have something to ask you. If you are going to the hospital where the two bodies are moved, can I go with you? Of course, I won't make trouble for you."

"No problem, but why?" "For some reason, I care about those two people." You have always been the kind of character who is easy to inject emotion into the victim, Eto said with a smile. After Jiang Teng explained to Kashiwagi that he would notify him if he went to the hospital, he entered Xiaoshan's house with other police officers from the first search section. Two hours later, Kashiwagi and Jiang Teng came to the waiting room of the Affiliated Hospital of Central Medical University together. A forensic autopsy is scheduled to take place at the hospital, and their remains have been placed in the mortuary.

They notified their relatives respectively, and the relatives rushed over to see the remains of their children. Onitou Masumi's father, Onitou Senichi, is the leader of the Onitou-gumi based in the Shinjuku area. Since Kashiwagi was not in the area under his jurisdiction, he didn't know the composition of his family. From what Eto said just now, Masumi's mother was a barmaid who died during the air raid eight years ago. On the other hand, Kaoru Shinoyama's father died of tuberculosis five years ago, and Kaoru lives with his mother, Hisako, and a nanny. Jiuzi is the daughter of the chairman of the Mingyang Bank. She has a lot of assets and her life is not poor.

"When my colleagues and I entered Xiaoshan's house, neither the mother nor the nanny was there. Did they go out?" "My mother, Hisako, stayed at the house of a friend from girls' school days yesterday. At that time, we all wondered where she had gone, but she came back just after six o'clock. After learning about the incident, the whole person was half crazy , kept shouting 'Let me see Kaoru', but the body at that time has moved here, it's so pitiful. When we asked 'Is there anyone who can accompany you', she asked us to call her younger sister Kikuko who lives in Yokohama Come here. I should come here with Chrysanthemum in a while."

"Where's the nanny?" "I heard that the nanny was asked for leave yesterday and today." At this time, the door of the front entrance opened, and three men entered.The man in the middle is a burly man in his forties, and the young men on both sides look like his bodyguards.It is obvious that he is not a person doing a serious job. After seeing Kashiwagi and Eto, the three of them walked forward slowly. The man in the middle asked, "Are you from the police station?" Jiang Teng nodded and continued, "Thank you. I'm Kito Senichi." "I'm really sorry." Eto replied.

Kitosen lowered his voice and asked if he could see Masumi.Although he has good facial features, he still has a rude atmosphere.This is completely different from the gentle boy. Jiang Teng called the hospital staff and asked him to take Xianyi into the morgue alone. Ten minutes later, Guitouxian came back.Although his face was expressionless, his eyes could be seen to be red. Eto says he has a few things to ask him, and mentions whether he has any clues as to why Masumi died in love. However, Guitouxianyi just shook his head wordlessly. Once again, the front porch door opened, and two chubby women walked in. A woman around forty years old with red and swollen eyes from crying, and a woman around thirty years old supporting her behind her. Jiang Teng stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry to let you go this far." It seemed that it was Kaoru Shinoyama's mother, Hisako, and her younger sister, Kikuko. Both men appeared very refined.Kashiwagi thought of the girl he had described from a good family. Hisako Xiaoshan glanced at Senichi Kitou, and immediately understood his identity from the other party's attire. Contradictingly said: "Your child seduced my child, right! Give me back! Give my child back!" Chrysanthemum called "Sister" and tugged on Hisako's sleeve.Guitouxianyi didn't say anything, after looking at Jiuzi, he left with the two bodyguards. Hisako and Chrysanthemum walked to the morgue led by the hospital staff.When he came back, Jiuzi covered his face with his hands, and was almost always supported by his sister when he walked. "I'm sorry, but do you have any clues as to why your child and Onitou Masumi died in love?" "Koru was deceived by that kid named Masumi. That Masumi is a child from that kind of family. He must not have any future dreams. He couldn't survive on his own, so he tempted Kaoru to die with him. Kaoru must be too gentle For a moment...it's all me...it's all my fault...I shouldn't have gone to my friend's house yesterday...it's all my fault that I asked the nanny to ask for leave, so I let Kaoru stay at home alone. Seeing this gap , that child named Masumi took advantage of the situation..." After that, she couldn't say anything anymore, and kept choking up.At this time, my younger sister Chrysanthemum muttered: "Actually, Kaoru called my home in Yokohama at three o'clock this afternoon." Kashiwagi and Eto looked at Chrysanthemum's face. "What Xiaoxun said at that time felt like implying that he would die for love. If I had been able to persuade me well at that time, this kind of thing would not have happened now..." "Can you tell us what was on the phone at that time?" According to Kikuko, when she was listening to classical music on the radio, that is, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Kaoru called her. - It's just raining here now.Where is my aunt? Chrysanthemum felt that it was inappropriate to make a special call to ask such a thing, so she asked Kaoru what happened? Then Kaoru sighed and said: ——From today onwards, I am going to a faraway place, so I want to say goodbye to my aunt alone. --a place far away? ——I'll let you know when the time comes, I can't say... goodbye just yet. Then, the phone was hung up. Jiang Teng crossed his arms: "'I'm going to a faraway place from today, so I want to say goodbye to my aunt alone' Ah, indeed, it seems to be implying that I am going to die for love." "I felt very uneasy and wanted to talk to Kaoru again, but I called my sister's house many times, but Kaoru just didn't answer... I thought I would just go to my sister's house directly, but Yokohama to Ogikubo It would take a long time, and I thought that the child would not do anything stupid if he was so steady, so I forced myself to feel at ease. I never expected that this kind of thing would happen..." "Xun didn't call her mother, nor did she leave any suicide note, but she would call you anyway. Has your relationship always been that good?" "Yeah. Since I was very young, I have loved Xiaoxun very much, and Xiaoxun also loves to cling to me, and will talk to me about any concerns. Although it is generally difficult to tell my troubles to my aunt at this age, but Xiaoxun will not. You also told me about your relationship with Onitou Masumi." After speaking, Chrysanthemum wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
