Detectives of Detective World

Obviously, if the business card was dropped by the other party, it means that Ritsuko Kuki had foreseen the discovery of the business card.

Karasawa had no idea about Ritsuko Kuki's plan, and just as she thought, she finally discovered the key evidence that identified the traitor and took the blame on herself.

But are there really such stupid people?

Substitute other people's conclusive evidence and replace it with your own fingerprints.

It's impossible for ordinary people to do this, right?

Because of this, none of them thought of this possibility. If they hadn't found important skeletons and obtained information on the Nishi Shingle Plateau, even Tang Ze would have continued to be kept in the dark.

As for the reason why Ritsuko Kuki did this.

Inexplicably, Tang Ze's mind flashed through what the other person said when he first visited his home.

——[There are many things more important than the truth. Some things must be concealed even if they are exchanged for one's own life. 】

That answer seemed to be that the other party wanted to maintain the credibility of the Metropolitan Police Department, so they were willing to publish everything. But looking back now, I found that Ritsuko Kuki at that time might have had something to say.

But he had no intention of continuing to explain. Instead, he urged Hiroshi Saito to analyze the ballistics again according to his own ideas: "According to the ballistic trajectory, simulate the trajectory of the bullet if Ritsuko Kuki had not shot and hit Tsunoda Police Department!"

"Hold on!"

Hiroshi Saito didn't hear the answer he wanted, but when he heard Karasawa's instructions, he understood that the other party didn't want to explain. He tacitly agreed not to ask further questions, but started to operate the computer according to Karasawa's instructions.

After typing on the keyboard, he first removed the dummy representing the Tsunoda Police Department, and then simulated the trajectory of the bullet after Ritsuko Kuki fired.

Because there was no obstacle like the Tsunoda Police Department in the middle, the bullet continued to move straight forward, and finally stopped in Yakushiji's hand.

Or to be more precise, it stayed on Yakushiji's right hand holding the gun.

"Is Ritsuko Kuki aiming at Yakushiji's gun?" Seeing the simulation results, Hiroshi Saito had a look of disbelief on his face.

If this is really the case, it means that the conclusions they reached before have been completely rejected.

Ritsuko Kuki was not killed by the Tsunoda Police Department to silence him, but was shot to save him.

"It's true." After seeing this result, Tang Ze was not surprised at all. Instead, he confirmed what he was thinking.

Sure enough, the truth of the case was not that Ritsuko Kuki chose to silence herself in order to keep the secret. The truth was actually something else.

"I found the information!"

When Karasawa verified what he was thinking and began to digest the news, Koshizui Nanatsuki hurried over with a piece of information:

"Kawada Kyouta worked for a rice flower manufacturing shipping company three years ago, but the next year he lost his job due to the company's bankruptcy.

A bankrupt shipyard company can indeed become a lurking location! "

"Inform Shiratori Criminal and they will go there together." Tang Ze explained as he walked towards the elevator.

Koshizui Nanatsuki immediately took out his mobile phone after hearing this, and began to tell Shiratori and others about their findings and speculations one by one in the elevator.

When the car drove out of the parking lot, Koshimizu Nanatsuki hung up the phone.

"Senior, do you think Ritsuko Kuki will be there?" Putting away his phone, Koshimizu Nanatsuki couldn't help asking as he looked at the scenery flowing backwards outside the window.

"There is a high chance that she will go." Tang Ze said: "The secret she wants to keep requires her to see Yakushiji Temple.

As for Yakushiji, he probably doesn't know the news about Ritsuko Kuki's accident.

I'm afraid he still wants to rely on Ritsuko Kuki to provide him with help in escaping.

And he suddenly turned on his mobile phone and performed a trick to distract the criminals in the city who were searching for him.

This shows that Ritsuko Kuki actually agreed to meet him, and that's why he did this.

We have to speed up. If we arrive late, what may be waiting for us is Yakushiji's body and the missing Kuki Ritsuko who escaped. "

At this moment, Karasawa's cell phone suddenly rang. Without taking it out, he handed it to Koshizu Nanatsuki and said, "Take it for me."

"It's Hattori-kun's phone number."

After seeing the caller ID on the phone screen, Koshimizu Nanatsuki decisively answered the call and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hey, Karasawa? I've made a big discovery here!"

As soon as the call was connected, before Koshimizu Nanatsuki could respond, Hattori Heiji's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone: "We went to investigate the cause of death of Kato, but we didn't expect the prisoner to surrender himself!!"

As soon as the words fell, the pupils of Tang Ze and the two people in the car unconsciously shrank violently when they heard each other's words.

...moist.

Near the seaside, the surrounding environment is different from that inside the continent.

Especially today, the sun is not bright. The dark clouds cover most of the sun. Only part of the sunlight shines through the dark clouds and shines on the earth.

Because of this, the sea breeze is extra humid and takes away the heat from the human body.

Ritsuko Kuki pushed open the white mesh door in front of her and entered the abandoned ship factory.

She carried a large bag and walked towards the interior. She soon saw Yakushiji holding a photo and leaning on a rusty gasoline drum on the beach in a daze.

"You still have this photo."

Looking at the group photo of four people in the opponent's hands, Ritsuko Kuki looked a little complicated.

"I want to throw it away, but I'm reluctant to throw it away." Yakushiji smiled, looked at Ritsuko Kuki and said, "Isn't it the same for you?"

Ritsuko Kuki didn't speak, just remained silent. Yakushiji didn't care when he saw this. He put the photo in his pocket and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Where's the money?"

After hearing this, Ritsuko Kuki glanced at Yakushiji expressionlessly, and immediately threw the bag in her hand over.

But because the bag was heavy, Ritsuko Kuki didn't throw it far, and the bag landed between the two of them.

Yakushiji was not angry when he saw this. After all, he was threatening the other party to bring him money, so naturally he could no longer force the other party to show him any good looks.

Yakushiji stood up from the ground, even jumped on his feet, then stood firm and walked to the handbag and squatted down to count the money.

It can be seen that even though he is wanted by the police, Yakushiji Temple still does not feel any pressure.

Perhaps in his mind, being wanted was not a big deal, but he would have to leave the country with a large sum of money.

But Yakushiji didn't notice at all that Sihuayuan had approached him at some point.

Yakushiji unzipped his handbag, but the scene of a bag full of money that he imagined did not appear.

Inside the bag were stacks of old books.

Yakushiji put his hand into his bag and was about to take out the things and turned to question Ritsuko Kuki, but the next moment he felt a lightness on his waist.

When he turned his head to look in the direction where Ritsuko Kuki was standing, he found that the dark muzzle of the gun was already pointed at him.

"Let everything end." Ritsuko Kuki looked at Yakushiji and said calmly.

"You want to kill me?" A look of surprise appeared on Yakushiji's face: "So, you killed Kyouta too, right? I should have thought of it earlier."

"That's what you think." Ritsuko Kuki pressed down the trigger with her index finger: "Any last words?"

"Ha...last words?" Yakushiji's eyes changed and finally became blurred: "It would have been better if I hadn't met that guy back then."

"There is no "if", only necessity."

Ritsuko Kuki's tone was calm and she even took a step back to distance herself to prevent the other party from grabbing the gun while she was in a daze: "Small moves are of no use to me. After that, let's get on the road."

Seeing the other party's vigilant movements, Yakushiji's face turned ugly: "You bitch..."

Obviously, seeing that Ritsuko Kuki had seen through his plan and missed the last chance to make a comeback, Yakushiji was facing the threat of death and could no longer hide his true side.

But Ritsuko Kuki didn't fight back, and instead pulled the trigger again.

Yakushiji's face was pale and trembling, and his eyes were fierce and unwilling. It was obvious that he was on the verge of collapse under the terrifying threat of life and death.

"do not move!"

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and the alert Ritsuko Kuki immediately pulled Yakushiji over and stood behind him, holding a gun to his back.

And when Karasawa and Koshimi Nanatsuki ran down the stairs and came to the open space near the seaside, Ritsuko Kuki was already hiding behind Yakushiji.

Seeing this, Karasawa couldn't help but frowned secretly, but the [Detective] in his hand was also raised and aimed in the direction of Yakushiji Temple.

They had just seen the two people in the distance and were about to rush over to arrest them, but they did not expect that such a change would happen in just a few dozen seconds of traveling time.

It's a pity that Ritsuko Kuki is hiding behind Yakushiji. The other party is a criminal and naturally knows how to avoid danger, and Yakushiji's tall body also completely blocks her behind.

"Put the gun down!"

Although I really want to arrest the two people immediately, in this situation, we can only negotiate first.

"No need to talk nonsense."

Ritsuko Kuki hid behind Yakushiji and said: "From the day I escaped, I didn't think about the future.

And since you're here, Tang Ze Criminal, I'm afraid the main force is behind you. It's useless to say more. "

"Wait!! It's useless for you to kill Yakushiji again!"

Hearing the other party's words that were like a declaration, Karasawa knew that something was going to be bad. The other party's current mentality was clearly to kill Yakushiji, so he quickly said: "I already know your secret!"

"What do you mean?" Although Ritsuko Kuki's tone was still calm, Tang Ze and the others still heard the fluctuations in it.

"Literally, I know all the truth."

Tangze saw that the other party was interested in communicating, so he went straight to the subject and said: "Actually, everything you did was to protect the Tsunoda Police Department, right?

I have investigated the relationship between the four of you, and also found a skeleton that turned into white bones on the Nishixinle Plateau.

According to the cooperative investigation of Nishi Shigaraki Criminal Division, we have confirmed the identity of the skeleton as that of Kato Takunori, who disappeared as a child. "

"I didn't expect that your investigation would reach this point." Yakushiji said in a complicated tone. Although Ritsuko Kuki couldn't see her face, she probably had a similar expression.

"What happened 18 years ago? Can you tell me now?" Tang Ze asked in a deep voice.

"That summer, I was really happy..."

Ritsuko Kuki's voice came from behind Yakushiji, and Yakushiji's face was also covered with memories and sorrow.

Eighteen years ago, the four of them attended a summer camp in Nishi Shigaraki Plateau, where they met and became friends.

Let’s set up tents together, fish together, eat together, and go hiking together.

During that process, Ritsuko Kuki fell in love with the Michida Police Department, allowing the young boy who had just begun to fall in love to know for the first time what it felt like to fall in love with someone.

If everything goes well, maybe the two of them will leave their contact information after the summer camp, and they may get closer and closer in the future, or they may just stop contacting each other.

But even this ordinary thing is beyond their reach.

"My first love and the devil came together."

Ritsuko Kuki said in a complicated tone: "We met Takunori Kato that day, and he helped us take that group photo.

Afterwards, on the pretext that he wanted to send us the developed photos, he invited us to meet at the trail next to the wooden house at the foot of the mountain.

If we hadn't gone there..."

But unfortunately, nothing happens.

Late that night, in order to get the photo, Kato Takunori revealed his true nature and knocked down the three boys, intending to use violence against Ritsuko Kuki.

Both Yakushiji and Kawada Kyouta were beaten so badly that they could not stand up. Only Tsunoda Michihiro managed to move a stone and hit the unsuspecting Kato Takunori on the head, saving Ritsuko Kuki who was about to be raped.

And that blow directly killed Kato Takunori.

When this happened, all four of them were frightened.

After the fear passed, the four people decided to bury Kato Takunori's body.

Because this was the place where Kato Takunori planned to commit a crime, no one came at night, which actually helped four people.

"We buried Kato Takunori's body and then returned to our home from the summer camp."

Ritsuko Kuki said sadly: "We decided to forget everything that happened that night and made up our minds to live in different places.

If you don't see each other again, then maybe you won't think about it again.

However, living a life of killing someone and hiding the truth means that there is no place for oneself in this world.

You are different from others, and your memory will remind you of your differences all the time.

He doesn’t interact with people and has no goals in life.

And after entering university like this, Brother Dao wrote me a letter.

He is the same as me, equally lonely and full of pain.

But even so, he encouraged me.

And through that letter, I also learned that Brother Dao had entered the Metropolitan Police Department.

So I came here, and one day after joining the company, I met him unexpectedly.

But we didn't talk, we just stared at each other, and we never saw each other alone after that.

But I know in my heart that as long as Brother Dao is there, I can survive. "

But unfortunately, this short-lived happiness disappeared when they met Yakushiji.
