Tokyo: There's something wrong with this narration!

Chapter 11 11·Is it you?

Shirakawa recalled that Ueio Miko did indeed appear in the original diary.

The original person seemed to have conducted a detailed investigation on her. She was not only a famous writer, but also a special guest on a suspense TV show. She was very busy at work.

She once had a happy family, but shortly after their marriage, after giving birth to Masumi Ueio, the two divorced.

So she could only raise Ueio Masumi alone. Due to work reasons, she often hired nannies to take care of Ueio Masumi.

It's a pity that these nannies always don't last long, and they always quit after two or three months.

The reason is unknown.

Now that I think about it, those nannies were probably cut into pieces by Matsuno Tajiro who was hiding on the sofa, right?
Based on this, the police had reason to suspect that the Ueio family were accomplices of Matsuno Dajiro.

That's why they were brought back to assist in the investigation.

But looking at the current situation, Shirakawa estimates that after police investigation, it should be proved that the mother and son have nothing to do with Matsuno Dajiro.

Masumi Kamio threw herself into her mother's arms, crying and nuzzling like a frightened kitten.

Ueio Miko's face was a little pale, obviously she was frightened by the news that there was a serial killer hiding in the house, but she still gently stroked her daughter's hair and comforted her,

"It's alright, it's alright."

Shirakawa looked at the beautiful policewoman Saya Shiraki, "How long will it take for the whistleblower's reward to be distributed?"

"It's you?"

Saya Shiraki looked at Shirakawa in surprise.

She also learned from the captain that the clues this time were all based on real-name reports from citizens, but she did not expect that the enthusiastic citizen named Kuraki Shirakawa was the melancholic young man in front of her.

[Saya Shiraki's favorability +10]

[Current favorability is 60 (brave and intelligent enthusiastic citizens)]

Bai Chuan nodded and acknowledged the honorable status of the reporter. After all, reporting with a real name could not be concealed even if he wanted to.

"If nothing else happens, there will be interviews with TV stations within seven working days after the case is closed."

The person who answered instead of Saya Shiraki was the serious middle-aged police chief Mouri Shuichi who came in with Miko Ueoo.

Shirakawa heard Shiraki Saya calling him Captain Mori.

Shirakawa really wants to ask, Captain, what is your relationship with Mouri Kogoro?
But he held back.

The captain is about forty years old, with a standard shoehorn face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a prim expression. Everyone looks like he owes him 500 million.

Only after hearing that Bai Chuan was the informant, his expression changed slightly.

"Can the TV station interview be waived? I'm just a college student and I don't want my peaceful life to be disturbed."

Bai Chuan said pretending to be innocent.

Maori Xiu thought for a moment and nodded slowly, "It should be no problem."

"Are there any problems in trying the case?"

Shirakawa looked at Mouri Shuichi's constipated look and guessed the truth.

Mourixiu looked at Shirakawa,
"Don't worry, the suspect has been arrested. Even if we haven't solved the case, your reward money will not escape."

Maori Shuichi believed that Bai Chuan was worried about the bounty.

In fact, Bai Chuan does have this concern.

If you want to receive the reward money, you need to wait within seven working days after the case is closed. If the police delay in closing the case, doesn’t it mean that I will never get the reward money?
It was related to his own vital interests, so Bai Chuan decided to buy one and get one free to share the pressure of Maori Shuichi.

After all, with the surname Maori, one can tell at a glance that the investigation is unreliable.

There must be an expert guiding you from behind.

As soon as Mori Shu gave a few instructions to Saya Shiraki, he walked out of the inquiry room, and Shirakawa followed silently.

"Officer Maori, the case was stalled because the prisoner was deaf and mute and refused to cooperate with the investigation, right?"

Mouri Xiu was stunned for a moment, surprised that Shirakawa hit the nail on the head and directly stated the biggest problem facing the case.

They could not force a deaf-mute man to plead guilty to the crime. Even if all the evidence pointed to him, the public would not accept such a result if he refused to cooperate with the investigation.

The media will seize this excuse and publicize it, making the public think that the Metropolitan Police Department is incompetent and wants to close the case as soon as possible and has found such a poor scapegoat.

"How did you know?"

"It's not difficult to judge. I just witnessed the scene where the suspect was arrested. I know that he can't speak and is a deaf-mute. Under normal circumstances, everyone would be happy when the criminal was arrested, but Police Officer Maori looked depressed. This proves The trial of the case encountered problems." Baichuan made a simple reasoning.

Maori Xiu nodded, "What do you think?"

"Why don't you let the suspect see Mrs. Ueio?"

Shirakawa gave the idea, and Mouri Shuichi shook his head.

"Mrs. Ueio has nothing to do with this matter. We investigated Mrs. Ueio long after the second victim appeared. She is innocent."

"I'm not saying that Mrs. Ueio is the suspect's accomplice, but that this is an entry point, because when the suspect was arrested, he showed strong emotional fluctuations when he saw Masumi-chan."

Bai Chuan analyzed calmly.

Maori Xiu's eyes brightened for a moment, and he seemed to have found a breakthrough.

He hurriedly informed his police officers, "Call the sign language expert and Mrs. Ueio and try again."

Seeing the furious Shuichi Mouri, Bai Chuan vaguely recalled his once grumpy boss.

He shook his head, he couldn't get involved in what happened next.

Just be patient and wait for the bounty to be released.

Miko Ueio was very cooperative with the police, even though her whole body was shaking slightly when she participated in the interrogation.

Shirakawa and Masumi Ueio waited in the Metropolitan Police Department for about half an hour, and Mrs. Ueio was sent to them by the police.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Ueio, you really helped me a lot this time."

"No, nothing."

Although Miko Ueio looked very sad, she still responded politely to the police officer.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Masumi Kamio held her mother's hand and felt the cold warmth of her hand.

Uemio Miko shook her head, "Let's go home."

The three of them took a taxi and prepared to go back to the apartment.

In the silent atmosphere, Masumi curled up in Ueno Miko's arms and fell asleep, but there was still a lot of fear in Ueno Miko's eyes.

This made her look pitiful and even more feminine.

Bai Chuan felt that if the two of them just sat like this, without saying anything, their attention would always be diverted to other places.

So he was the first to break the silence.

"Mrs. Ueio knows Matsuno Tajiro, right?"

Miko Kamio raised her head, her beautiful eyes swept over Shirakawa's handsome cheeks, and she nodded slightly.

"A few years ago, I met Mr. Matsuno through a friend's introduction. He was very skilled in making sofas, so I asked him to customize a sofa for me. But I didn't expect that he would keep hiding in the sofa after he disappeared. "

"Maybe it's because I have a crush on my wife."

Bai Chuan said casually.

Miko Ueio was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Does a psychopath who can commit murder and mutilate his body also have feelings?"

Bai Chuan was also stopped by this question, and silence spread again.

Until they got off the bus, the two of them didn't discuss anything about Matsuno Dajiro.

in the elevator.

Ueio Miko hugged Ueio Masumi and said softly in a low voice,
"No matter what, I have to thank Mr. Cangmu this time. If it weren't for you, we might be in a very dangerous situation. If Mr. Cangmu doesn't mind, you can come to our house for dinner when you are free. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask. Come to me."

Shirakawa smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mrs. Ueio."

When the elevator reached the fifth floor, Baichuan watched the mother and daughter walk out of the elevator, and the elevator door slowly closed.

Baichuan pressed the 10th floor button. The elevator quickly reached its destination and the door opened again.

Bai Chuan saw the sleepy girl sitting at the door of 1002, curled up into a ball with her hands on her knees.

The girl was holding a lunch box in her arms.

Qianxue Meiyi, have you been waiting for me to come back?
