"Well, there are indeed some clues. In fact, because the deceased appeared on our territory, we paid very close attention to this case. We also cooperated with the police to track down the murderer, but found nothing."

Fujimori put the cleaned plate back on the cabinet, his expression solemn but also a little sad and helpless.

"Did you read the news this morning?"

"Look, is it possible that the deceased is on the Black Feather Group's territory?" Yoshiyuki asked quickly.

"No, it's not her." Fujimori turned to look at a seat in the corner and sighed: "It's just that the girl used to come to this coffee shop often, and she always sat in that seat... Hey, first of all Let me tell you about her situation and see if you can find any clues?"

"That girl's name is Satomi Saki. A native of Akihabara. She graduated from junior high school. In a few days, she will go to Saga to attend high school."

"Why don't you stay in Tokyo? Saga is quite far away. And it's still in the countryside." Yoshiyuki was keenly aware that there was a problem here, so he asked.

Students who are born and raised in a metropolitan city like Tokyo rarely go to high school elsewhere. Universities also take local exams if they can.

Not only because there are many famous schools in Tokyo, but also because the life here is very prosperous. People who have been accustomed to living here since childhood are rarely willing to go to other places for development. There is also a saying that "everything outside Tokyo is in the countryside".

This is especially true for Saga Prefecture, which is an agricultural prefecture and has no sense of existence.

"Yes. Her parents have been busy with work and haven't paid much attention to her since she was a child. They also planned to go abroad for development in the past two years, and they couldn't take care of Satomi, so they decided half a year ago to send her to her grandmother's house in Saga after high school. Over there.”

"So, Satomi, who has always lacked the care of her parents, is even more angry now. She feels that her parents only say they love her and only care about work. It is as if she is a burden."

"As you know, children of this age are in the rebellious stage, so the once well-behaved Miss Satomi began to quarrel frequently with her parents. After finding that she could not change their minds, she began to have a cold war and even ran away from home. Of course, every time I didn’t even go far, I basically just sat in our cafe until dawn.”

"Uh..." Erina looked a little embarrassed.

Yoshiyuki could tell that she felt embarrassed because of the highly overlapping words like "rebellious period" and "running away from home."

Miss Fujimori didn't know whether Erina had done this before, but she asked calmly.

"What's wrong, Yida-sama?"

"Cough, cough, it's nothing." Erina looked guilty and hurriedly ate the cake given to her by Yoshiyuki: "I just want to say that it's obviously a coffee shop but it's still open until late at night."

"Yes. Our shop is only closed for three hours every day. You can come for a drink if you can't sleep in the middle of the night."

"Not bad!" Erina imagined it for a moment and suddenly became very interested: "When you feel sleepy after playing games all night, you can ask Yoshiyuki to go downstairs and buy me coffee, and then you can hold on until dawn."

"Miss, you have a beautiful idea." Yi Xing complained unceremoniously: "When you are sleepy, just sleep well."

"It's obviously you who said staying up late is bad for your health."

"Then your solution is to stay up all night, right?!"

Erina snorted and didn't respond.

Ms. Fujimori smiled softly and looked at the two of them. Then her mood seemed to be affected by the memory of Satomi Saki's tragic death, and her expression became a little helpless again.

"Hey, let me tell you about her situation - in the past six months, although Miss Satomi has been very rebellious, she has not been a bad learner. However, her mental state has become worse and worse. She is no longer so cheerful. She often I just sat there drinking coffee in silence and no longer wanted to chat with anyone.”

"Her whole person feels very fragile to me, as if she is only one step away from collapse. Children in this state, if they cannot get emotional sustenance from their parents, will long for it from others. That seems to be salvation."

"The last time Miss Satomi came here was the day before her death. That time she didn't come for a full week. She seemed much more energetic, and she showed her unconcealable smile again. From time to time, she would look at the window. He was in a daze outside, his expression was obviously longing, and he was imagining something."

"I thought something good must have happened. I thought I had finally reconciled with my parents, so I went over to ask. But she said that was not the case. Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, I didn't ask any more questions. Now that I think about it, it was probably her Are you in love?"

"Huh? Why?" Erina felt a little unbelievable when she heard what she said: "Maybe it's just a character that I've liked for a long time or a very rare piece of equipment."

"Miss, don't put your thoughts on others. No normal person would have that kind of reaction because of such a trivial matter." Yoshiyuki complained, and then agreed with the store manager's statement.

"Ms. Fujimori, this reaction may indeed be due to meeting someone you like. The news also said that there were no signs of violent invasion of the residence, so it is likely that the victim brought the murderer in. Therefore... she may know her parents You won’t be back for a while, so you took this opportunity to take your boyfriend home?”

"That's right. I'm telling you the story of Satomi Saki just as a case. It will help you understand what characteristics the murderer likes to choose to target." Ms. Fujimori crossed her hands and supported her chin. He leaned on the table and said seriously in a low voice.

"In fact, the Kuroba Group and the police investigated all the victims. It was found that all of them had no love experience and all had certain psychological problems. Some were caused by family factors, and some were bullied at school. Such girls When you meet a handsome and considerate man, it is easy to become obsessed with love and become blind, and the murderer may succeed frequently because of this."

"Since there are such clear clues, why can't we catch the person?" Yi Xing frowned: "The two of them must be going on a date together, and they will be seen by many people during the period. The surveillance should also be able to capture it Just come down."

There are still quite a few surveillance cameras in Tokyo.

This is especially true in a crowded place like Akihabara.

Therefore, the police should not have no evidence.

"It is precisely because surveillance does not work that the case is so difficult to solve." The store manager said with a serious expression: "Each victim has a different date."

Yoshiyuki was really surprised to hear this, so he asked this question.

"Could it be a gang crime?"

"No." Miss Fujimori was silent for a moment and then spoke again: "The police arrested all the men involved in the case for questioning. Based on their confessions about their recent itineraries, they conducted an investigation and found that these people had never met the deceased at all."
