Tokyo: This narration is wrong!

Her figure is on the thin side, and she has a frail look that would make her fall to the ground if the wind blows.

Looking at her appearance, she doesn't feel like she is the mother of an 8-year-old child at all, but more like a newlywed young woman.

[Miko Ueio, although her diary is shorter than Mei Chiyuki's, it is also very rich. Not only has she been a widow for many years, but she is also a best-selling author. She suddenly understood that the owner of the diary would want to attack her. Such a sweet wife was tied up. It must have a different taste, right? 】

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, and she was obviously 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 okay, it's okay."

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 melancholy 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 on behalf 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. He looks like he owes 5 million to everyone.

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.

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

"Are there any problems in trying the case?"

Seeing the constipated look on Shuichi Mouri's face, Shirakawa 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, which proves There were problems with the trial of the case.”

Bai Chuan 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. Ueo is an accomplice of the suspect, but I'm saying that this is a starting point, because when the suspect was arrested, he showed strong emotional fluctuations when he saw Masumi-chan."

Baichuan analyzed calmly.

Maori Shuichi's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had found a breakthrough.

He hurriedly notified his police officers, "Call the sign language expert and Mrs. Ueo, and interrogate again."

Looking at Maori Shuichi who was in a hurry, Shirakawa vaguely recalled his former bad-tempered boss.

He shook his head, and the next thing was not something he could get involved in.

Just wait patiently for the reward to be paid.

Meiko Ueo cooperated with the police, although her whole body was shaking slightly when she participated in the interrogation.

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

"Thank you, Mrs. Ueo, you really helped a lot this time."

"No, nothing."

Although Meiko Ueo looked very bad, she still responded politely to the police.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Umei held her mother's hand and felt her cold hand temperature.

Umei shook her head and said, "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 Umei's arms and fell asleep, but there was still a lot of fear in Umei's eyes.

This made her look pitiful and more feminine.

Shirakawa felt that if the two of them just sat there and didn't say anything, their attention would always be diverted to other places.

So he broke the silence first.

"Mrs. Umei knows Matsunoda Jiro, right?"

Umei raised her head, her beautiful eyes swept across Shirakawa's handsome face, and 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 help me customize a sofa, but I didn't expect that he would hide in the sofa after he disappeared."

"Maybe it's because he has a crush on his wife."

Shirakawa said casually.

Miko Ueo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Can a psychopath who can kill and dismember people also have feelings?"

Shirakawa was also stunned by this question, and silence spread again.

Until getting off the car, the two did not discuss anything about Matsunoda Jiro.

In the elevator.

Miko Ueo hugged Masumi Ueo and said softly,

"No matter what, I have to thank Kuraki-kun this time. If it weren't for you, we might be in a very dangerous situation. If Kuraki-kun doesn't mind, you can come to my house for dinner when you are free. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to come to me."

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

The elevator reached the 5th floor, and Shirakawa watched the mother and daughter walk out of the elevator, and the elevator door slowly closed.

Shirakawa pressed the 10th floor button, and the elevator quickly arrived at the destination, and the door opened again.

Shirakawa saw the girl squatting at the door of 1002, hugging her knees, curled up, and already dozing off.

The girl was holding a lunch box in her arms.

Chiyuki Mei, have you been waiting for me to come back?

Chapter 12 12·Different Opinions

The girl's long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, covering most of her shoulders.

When she saw Baichuan, she was instantly enveloped by fatigue. She couldn't help but bury her fair little face in her arms, and her breathing became steady.

Yes, she fell asleep.

[Chiyuki Mei just slept at your doorstep, like a lamb about to send itself into the wolf's belly...]

Baichuan ignored the narrator's instigation, walked to Chiyuki Mei, squatted down, and pinched her soft cheek.

"Wake up."

"Woo~"

Chiyuki Mei made a cat-like murmur, and her head leaned directly on Baichuan's shoulder. She didn't mean to wake up, but just changed to a more comfortable sleeping position.

Chiyuki Mei's little face was very comfortable to pinch, soft and sticky, like a ball of glutinous rice dumplings.

"Woo~"

Mei Chiyuki made a cat-like sound again, probably because her face was being compared to the dough by Shirakawa to test how far it could be stretched.

Shirakawa found the key in the small bag that Mei Chiyuki was carrying across her body and opened the door of the next door, 1003.

He picked Mei Chiyuki up horizontally and smelled the fragrance that belonged to a girl.

It smelled a bit like shampoo, and a bit like shower gel.

Shirakawa sniffed and confirmed a fact.

Some girls really have body fragrance.

Mei Chiyuki looked very thin, but it was a bit heavy to hold.

It was probably because the original body was too weak due to long-term lack of exercise. In the past, Shirakawa felt that he could hold two Mei Chiyuki without frowning.

Shirakawa walked into 1003 and closed the door with his feet.

He shook his feet, took off his sneakers, and turned on the lights in the room.

The white light dispelled the darkness in the room, and the girl's apartment appeared in front of Shirakawa.

Very different from his residence, this apartment had obviously been renovated, with pink and blue as the main colors, and various cute decorations hanging on the walls.
