Chapter 1606 Past Events
On the streets 7 years ago.
Natsumi Shibamoto and Yukie Nagai met again by chance.
Then the other party found the engagement ring on her hand, and she had no choice but to tell the other party that she was going to get married.
Natsumi Shibamoto, who had already started a new life, saw her companions with a dark past and subconsciously wanted to avoid them, but things took a turn for the worse.
That day was her date with Hoshino Ryosuke, and Hoshino Ryosuke rushed over not long after the two talked.
Then when faced with Hoshino Ryosuke's curious inquiry, Nagai Yukie bluntly said that the two are good best friends.
From that moment on, Natsumi Shibamoto had a bad premonition.
And her premonition became a reality.
Because there was no way to stop Nagai Yukie from talking when they met that day, Hoshino Ryosuke told each other the basic situation of the two of them.
From then on, Nagai Yukie came to her from time to time and asked her to borrow money.
"I'm really annoyed with her." Natsumi Shibamoto complained.
"What happened that night?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked after listening to Shibamoto Xia's words.
"After Ryosuke and I finished dinner, Yukie called me and asked me to come out." Natsumi Shibamoto spoke slowly, recounting everything that happened that night.
"This is the last time I will give her money, and I don't have to pay back any previous money." Natsumi Shibamoto looked at Nagai Yukie and said coldly.
"I really want to tell him what happened at that time."
Yukie Nagai looked at Natsumi Shibamoto with evil intentions and said, "It's really interesting. We all go crazy together all night long, stealing the old man's money together, and then"
"Stop talking!" Natsumi Shibamoto yelled immediately after hearing Yukie Nagai's words.
But after hearing her scolding, Yukie Nagai showed a look of jealousy, "We obviously have the same past, why are you the only one who is happy!?
I won’t allow it, I will pester you for the rest of my life!”
In a blackmail case, when the party being blackmailed cannot pay the money and at the same time knows that the blackmailer intends to use him as leverage for the rest of his life, this is the time when the murderous intention is most intense.
The same thing happened to Natsumi Shibamoto. Looking at Yukie Nagai counting the money and leaving, she picked up a stone from the ground and threw it directly at the opponent's head.
"Natsumi!"
At this time, for some reason, Hoshino Ryosuke's shout came from the distance.
Then, hiding in the woods, she watched her fiancé discover the body of Yukie Nagai.
"He was so frightened that he kept looking back at the body in a panic, but he fell down the stone steps."
Natsumi Shibamoto smiled sadly: "If he hadn't followed me, this wouldn't be the case."
"So after that, you dragged Nagai Yukie into the car and threw the body into the woods!"
"That's right, he was buried in the woods in the nursing home at work." Natsumi Shibamoto smiled and admitted all this.
After hearing Natsumi Shibamoto tell the exact place where the body was dumped, Takagi looked serious and said: "Then please Miss Shibamoto, please go back with us!"
Natsumi Shibamoto did not refuse and followed Takagi towards the stairs.
"The case should be solved now."
After going downstairs and watching Natsumi Shibamoto and Takagi get into the police car, Koshimizu Nanatsuki couldn't help but stretch.
"But I always feel that something is not right. Natsumi Shibamoto admitted it too easily."
Tang Ze frowned and said: "Although we suspected her at the time, seven years have passed since the body, and there is no obvious evidence on it to prove that she is the murderer.
We only judged that the murderer was left-handed based on the injuries on the bones, and therefore suspected Natsumi Shibamoto, who was also left-handed.
Even if the two people are related, it is impossible for us to convict her for this."
"That's true"
Koshizui Nanatsuki touched his chin and said: "We didn't even find out that Nagai Yukie blackmailed her, that's what she told us.
But in this case, the other party felt that it was just such a simple confession."
"Beyond that, there's a mystery that remains unexplained."
Karasawa said: "During the brain fingerprint examination, why did Mr. Hoshino react to two people?
Nagai Yukie's words can now be explained, because he has met the other party before.
But why did he react to Hitomi Terayama’s photo?”
"Could he have seen it accidentally in real life?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki guessed, "Is there such a chance?"
"Indeed, there are some contradictions in Natsumi Shibamoto's confession," Karasawa said.
"Eh?"
Koshizui Nanatsuki was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then reached out to interrupt Tang Ze's words. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said: "There is indeed a contradiction.
Mr. Hoshino's confession stated that he was pushed down the stone steps by someone.
But on the other hand, Natsumi Shibamoto said that Mr. Hoshino lost his footing and fell down the stone steps because he was too panicked and frightened."
"So Natsumi Shibamoto is not a prisoner?"
Koshimizu Nanatsuki said distressedly: "But she does know the exact place where the body was dumped. Usually only the murderer knows this."
"In short, the truth should not be as simple as what we see now."
Karasawa frowned and pondered for a moment, feeling that there seemed to be some similarities between the development of this case and the previous case of "Arashiyama Man".
After careful comparison, Tang Ze suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked one point.
In the case that occurred in Kyoto at that time, "Arashiyama Man" also reacted to an unrelated person.
In the end, it was discovered that it was not the person who reacted, but the sling of the work tag around the other person's neck.
So is Hoshino Ryosuke the same?
The reason why he reacted to Hitomi Terayama’s photos might not be to people but to objects?
Karasawa took out Terayama Hitomi's photo and looked at it carefully, and found that the person in the photo did not carry anything conspicuous.
The only thing that stood out was the clothes she wore.
Perhaps what impressed Hoshino Ryosuke at that time was not the person, but the clothes.
As for why this piece of clothing creates an impression, it may be that it is useless to leave an impression by accident, or it may be an important clue, but only further investigation can make it clear.
Therefore, Karasawa asked Koshizui Nanatsuki to lead people, and under the pretext of suspecting Hoshino Ryosuke to be the murderer, he invited him to Kosoken again for a brain fingerprint examination.
"I told you, I'm not a murderer!"
Sitting in the testing room again, Hoshino Ryosuke let the technician put the detector patch on his forehead while looking at Karasawa at the door and said impatiently.
