Chapter 273 is retribution

Ding dong - ding dong
Through the monitor at the door, Atsuko Jiangzaki saw that there were two policemen knocking on the door. His face suddenly became tense, and he opened the door carefully, "Hi, hello, what's the matter?"

The policeman took out his ID and showed it, "Hello, Ms. Atsuko Ezaki, we are police officers from the Criminal Division of the Osaka Police Station. I have something to ask you. Can we go in conveniently? It won't take too long."

Atsuko Ezaki hurriedly opened the door, "Yes, please, come in quickly."

After Atsuko Ezaki stepped aside, he realized that there was a girl and a child behind the two policemen? ?
She is confused, what is the situation?
Atsuko Ezaki poured a few glasses of water and kicked it over, "Um, I don't know about you officers, what do you want to ask?"

One of the policemen looked at Ms. Alice and asked, start?

Sanada Ling looked directly at her, "Mrs. Ezaki, when you were not divorced eight years ago, a fire broke out in the community. Can you tell me the specific situation?"

Atsuko Ezaki wondered why the policeman was here, why did a little girl speak.

But after she understood what the little girl said, her complexion suddenly changed, to the point where she couldn't even hide it.

Atsuko Ezaki's attitude also changed, "What do you mean, eight years ago, how could I still remember something that happened so long ago, I forgot it long ago?"

"We have been divorced for a long time and have no contact at all. I don't know what happened?"

"Hey, what's going on with you guys, it's fine for you to ask the police officers, what does it mean to call a child over!!"

"My daughter is coming back soon, she is afraid of strangers, you go, I have nothing to say, let's go."

Ding the bell, the sound of the TV turning on interrupted Atsuko Ezaki's words.

Kudo Shinichi held the remote control and looked at it innocently, "I'm sorry Auntie, I accidentally pressed it."

"What's the matter with you kid? Forget it, let's go quickly."

Sanada Ling leaned against the sofa, raised her legs, and said casually, "Mrs. Ezaki, don't you wonder why we came here?"

Atsuko Ezaki was startled, why did this little girl look weak and weak, and why was she so penetrating when her eyes swept over her.

"you?"

Sanada Ling raised her chin slightly, motioning her to watch TV, "Mrs. Ezaki, let's watch it first."

Kudo Shinichi had already switched to the live news program, and the news broadcast by the reporter was nothing but the fire that just broke out.

Atsuko Ezaki listened to the reporter's rapid voice, the buildings shown on the screen, and the names and floors of the community.

There was a buzzing in my head, my legs gave way and I almost fell, but luckily the police responded in time and put me on the sofa.

Seeing this, Kudo Shinichi turned off the TV, and the living room suddenly became quiet, except for the rapid breathing of Atsuko Esaki.

Sanada Ling pushed the water glass over, "It seems that you should understand."

Atsuko Ezaki took it with shaking hands, the water in the cup flowed down his collar because he drank too fast.

Sanadaling handed over a few more tissues.

Atsuko Ezaki managed to calm down, and after a long silence, he said, "We're divorced, and we haven't contacted him for a long time, and I don't know what happened, you go."

Sanada Ling sighed softly, "Why bother?"

"Mrs. Ezaki, it's not too late to listen to me after a few words."

Sanadaling took out a photo and backed it upside down in front of Atsuko Ezaki.

Atsuko Ezaki just wanted them to leave quickly, don't ask any more questions, and just wanted to open it and take a look.

When her finger just touched the photo, her hand was held down. It was an index finger with a white glove, which firmly pressed her hand in place.

Atsuko Ezaki wanted to struggle involuntarily, but found that he couldn't do it at all, even with just one finger.

She raised her head to question Sanada Ling, "What do you mean?"

The last few words of Atsuko Ezaki were directly silenced, and the little girl in front of her was wearing a mask, she couldn't see her expression at all, she could only see the pair of thick black pupils, bottomless, as if she wanted to swallow people up.

Then she heard the little girl say, "Don't worry, I haven't said anything yet?"

Atsuko Ezaki asked stammeringly, "You, you, what do you want to say?"

Sanadaling let go of her finger, and Atsuko Ezaki hurriedly withdrew her hand, but did not dare to move the photo on the table again.

"You saw the fire this morning. Unfortunately, when the rescue team arrived, the victim, Taizo Sumida, your ex-husband, had lost his vital signs and was declared clinically dead."

Atsuko Ezaki clenched the corner of her clothes tightly with her fingers, her eyelids trembling.

"Do you know how he died? Let me tell you if the reporter can't report it. After all, they used to be husband and wife."

"He was hit on the back of the head with a stick, lost his ability to resist, was tied up with ropes, unable to struggle, and put into a kneeling position."

Atsuko Ezaki opened his mouth slightly, "What kind of pose?"

Sanadaling explained patiently, "It's a kneeling posture, kneeling on the ground with your forehead on the ground, a standard apologetic and repentant posture."

"Also, he was doused with gasoline, so he can keep burning."

"The photo in front of you was just taken by me on the spot. It's fresh out of the oven. You can take a look if you want."

The two policemen next to him said in a breathy voice, "Is this against the rules?"

"Then you tell her."

"I dare not say."

"Then shut up."

Atsuko Ezaki's hand didn't seem to be her own anymore, she wanted to pick up the photo several times, but she just pushed the photo farther away, tears rolled down involuntarily, and wet her face.

Sanada Ling handed over the tissue box, "It's just a proposal, if you don't accept it, you don't have to read it."

Atsuko Ezaki wiped his face fiercely, and said forcefully, "Look, why don't you look."

Atsuko Jiangzaki took a deep breath, picked up the photo and turned it over, and threw it aside as if getting an electric shock, with a pale face.

Sanada Ling picked up the photo and handed it back to the police for storage.

Now I have to wait, wait for Atsuko Ezaki to speak.

After a long time, Atsuko Ezaki finally said, "Retribution, it's all retribution!!"

The police immediately became alert. There were clues and clues. The recorder was turned on and the notebook was opened.

Atsuko Ezaki scratched his head in pain, "Back then, the building where we lived caught fire. The fire was huge and dangerous, but firefighters came to rescue us, so, so, we all survived."

"However, my building is low and can survive. Others, others, they are too high, and several people were burned to death."

"My children were young at the time, and I didn't dare to ask what was going on with them."

"Later, later, it was found out that there was a problem with the house, so they paid us some money."

"Originally, I had no doubts. Our house is gone and we are homeless. We should lose money."

"But, but, they lost too much money, really, too much."

"My daughter has congenital heart disease and needs to take a lot of medicines. Those medicines are very expensive, and our family can't afford them at all."

"But later, there was always medicine at home, and the child was too young, so I didn't bother to ask the source of these medicines at all."

Sanadaling tapped twice on the table with her fingertips, "The medicine for treating congenital heart disease is not cheap. You didn't find it for a while, have you never found it? Have you never suspected it?"

"Or are you just pretending you don't know?"

Atsuko Ezaki bit her lips, recalling what happened back then, "I really, really don't know what happened."

"I have been taking care of children in the hospital. I really don't know about money."

Sanada Ling: "Well, you two got divorced within half a year after the fire, can you tell me the reason?"

Atsuko Ezaki resisted even more, her body curled up slightly.

Atsuko Ezaki suddenly resisted, gnawed on her fingernails and said nothing, her eyes were flustered, let alone staring at Ling Sanada, she dared not look at anyone.

Sanada Ling didn't urge her, and let her think for herself. This is not something that can be asked in a hurry.

Holding another water glass, he drank slowly.

Kudo Shinichi: "."

After a long time, Atsuko Ezaki choked up and said, "We, we are, a normal divorce, no, no feelings."

"I really didn't know what happened, what happened, I was so scared."

"During that time, there was no home, nothing. It was really chaotic. I can't remember many things."

Sanada Ling hummed, and said casually, "There is something I forgot to tell you."

Atsuko Ezaki raised his sleeve and wiped his face, "What, what is it?"

Sanada Ling: "You may have forgotten that the whole building was on fire, not your house."

"Your ex-husband is dead, and you say retribution, do you think the murderer's retaliation is only aimed at one person?"

Atsuko Ezaki's eyes widened in horror, his mouth half-opened, unable to utter a word.

Sanada Ling: "Your ex-husband is the fifth one. I brought photos of the other victims. Do you want to see them? Maybe you can think of something?"

Sanada Ling took out a few more photos and lined them up, then flipped them on the table, "Turn it up and have a look."

"I don't want it! I don't look at it! Take it! I don't look at it!"

Atsuko Ezaki became emotional as if she had been pricked by a needle.

Sanada Ling tapped the back of the photo with her fingertips, "So, Mrs. Ezaki, can you tell me if you remember now?"

Atsuko Ezaki grabbed her hair anxiously, "I really don't know what happened, and neither did he, nor did he tell me."

"But during that time, after the fire... during that time, he seemed to have encountered something and was particularly disturbed."

"I didn't dare to ask. Then, one day, he told me that if you want to get a divorce, you must get a divorce."

"I don't know what to do. The child is still young and very sick. I don't know how to live in the future?"

"He said, he said, the divorce is still the same as before, there will be no change, I don't know. I can only do it."

Sanadaling raised her eyelids slightly, and looked at Atsuko Ezaki indifferently, "Mrs. Ezaki, what time does your daughter finish class?"

Atsuko Ezaki screamed, "She doesn't know, she doesn't know anything, she has heart disease, can't be surprised, can't!"

"By the way, I remembered, I remembered, there is a person who has been looking for us during that time."

"He must know, he knows."

Sanada Ling put the cup on the table and made a light click, "Name."

Atsuko Ezaki recalled hard, "Ita, Ita, Takashi, yes, it is Takashi Ita, he is the property of our community, and he was the one who came to talk to my husband during that time."

Yes, it can be regarded as a clue, Sanada Ling stood up, "Thank you Mrs. Jiang Qi, please leave."

The policeman also stood up, "Miss Jiang Qidunzi, I hope you will not leave Osaka casually during this time, and keep your mobile phone unblocked. If you have any questions, or if you think of anything else, please contact us."

Jiang Qi Dunzi no longer wants to see this group of people in front of him, let alone deal with them.
