Chapter 850 The Truth About Death

"Disappeared?"

Hearing this description, Gao Yuan felt a little surprised:
"It stands to reason that a gambler, for the sake of gambling money, can be inhumane. But if there is even a slight possibility, he should not take the initiative to file for personal bankruptcy, so as to let go of Ms. Cai whom he almost climbed up with..."

In this way, Gao Yuan analyzed:

"Besides, the so-called 'disappeared' means that you haven't heard from that person since then?"

"You're right, after we absolutely agreed with their marriage, that guy really seemed crazy at first, trying his best to harass Xiao Cai, and constantly using the child in her belly as a basis , tried every means to get Xiao Cai to marry him first, and ignore our opinions for the time being. At that time, if we hadn’t forcibly locked Xiao Cai at home, she would not have been allowed to go anywhere. Based on her thoughts at the time , almost agreed."

Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Mitarai Zongxu replied:
"But then, as far as we know, after he learned that his baby died shortly after birth, he quit his job, filed for personal bankruptcy because he had nothing to tie Cai to, and never heard from her again. I have been to the whereabouts of this person."

"But he's not dead, is he?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan's thoughts suddenly became clear, and then he asked:

"He quit his job, filed for personal bankruptcy, and he wouldn't have 'disappeared', at least he's still alive. He'd do it either because he'd been bothered by debt collectors, or It's just that he has other plans, otherwise, if he is really cornered by debts, he can commit suicide directly, why bother with resigning and filing for personal bankruptcy?
"However, although filing for personal bankruptcy can relieve the impact of debt on normal life to a certain extent, it also means that he will no longer be able to borrow money as before. He himself is living on loans, And he still has the habit of gambling. As a result, he quit his job as a professor, and it is basically impossible to find such a job after that. Basically, he gave up his future life——

"This kind of mentality doesn't look like a gambler!

"As a gambler, as long as he has a little bit of money, he dares to put all his money on it. The practice of resigning and filing for personal bankruptcy is obviously not something a gambler can do. And afterwards, he Or disappear..."

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan seemed to understand something, then looked at Mitarai Zongxu seriously, and asked:
"Does he want to change his face and start over?"

Having said that, Gao Yuan felt that many things could make sense, but the premise was whether the response from the Mitarai family could correspond to his own guess——

"Your perception of gamblers is very clear..."

In this regard, after hearing Gao Yuan's analysis, Mitarai Zongxu nodded affirmatively, first praised him, and then said:
"That's right, they are a group of people who will never forget that feeling once they have been to the gambling table——

"Those who win want to win again, those who lose want to make a comeback, and in the end, they don't want to leave even if they lose their fortune in gambling. As long as there is a chance, they can come up with all kinds of unimaginable means to find a guy who has a chance to make a comeback.

"He did have a makeover. After he filed for personal bankruptcy, he got a new identity from somewhere, so he completely abandoned his original identity, and then almost used this new identity to try to join the Mitarai family business. , to get close to Xiao Cai.

"Fortunately, he just changed his identity and didn't have plastic surgery, so we saw through this method very quickly, but after that, he never used his new identity again. But, just because of this..."

"Because the new identity has never been used again, so I can't be sure whether he changed his identity again after that, and maybe he really changed his face this time, and then tried to find a way to linger in Ms. Cai's place. by your side?"

Gao Yuan followed Mitarai Zongxu's words.

"That's right. Although so many years have passed, there is always a feeling that that guy is still looking for opportunities..."

Mitarai Zongxu responded.

In this regard, Gao Yuan nodded silently, then glanced at the cave entrance behind the two people in front of him, then sighed, and asked:
"Well, since this is the case, I don't know if you are willing to answer my next question..."

So far, what Mitarai Zongxu said is not far from his own conjecture, so the possibility of his conjecture being true has further increased, but to prove the possibility of the entire conjecture, there is still Several key questions need to be answered, but these questions...

Looking at Mitarai Zongxu and Mitarai Rui in front of him.

Calculated by time, Mitarai Mizui was only a child of about ten years old, so it was Mitarai Zongxu...

Frowning slightly, Gao Yuan felt a little nervous——

"But it doesn't matter."

Mitarai Zongxu replied calmly.

In this regard, Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked:
"The cause of the illegitimate child's death!"

Hearing this, Mitarai Zongxu frowned slightly, and then asked with a calm expression:

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm...how should I put it?"

Faced with Mitarai Zongxu's response, Gao Yuan pretended to think about it, and then said:
"Let me first talk about my views on what I know now."

Speaking, Gao Yuan looked at Mitarai Zongxu and Mitarai Rui in front of him, seeing that the two did not express any objection to his statement, so Gao Yuan said:

"Everything started more than 20 years ago. And the cause of everything was the beginning of Miss Cai's love affair with that university professor.

"As I talked about just now, that university professor had a purpose from the time he fell in love with Ms. Cai. After that, although you saw through his tricks and didn't let him succeed, because the child was no longer able to fight Therefore, as a last resort, the child was born.

"Although according to what you said, the child died later, so that person gave up. But what happened later, I always feel a little strange——

"For example, where is the body of that child?"

Saying this, Mitarai Zongxu's expression was calm, while Mitarai Rui's expression changed slightly.

Regarding this, Gao Yuan continued:
"Of course, it seems that you have no way of verifying what happened afterwards, so let's analyze it from what happened recently——

"For example, about Miss Today!

"From the perspective of outsiders, the former president, Mr. Haruka Mitarai, bought the apartment for Miss Kyoko, and arranged for Mr. Kizui and the others to take care of Ms. Kyoko's life. It's hard not to think of the relationship between them. nothing else.

"Although in this situation, many people will make wild guesses. But if you know some inside information about the Mitarai family, and add the approximate age of Ms. Kyoko...

"You tell me, if someone knows that there is an illegitimate child in the third generation of the Mitarai family, how will they think about the matter of Miss Kyoko?

"Also, the illegitimate child said he had passed away, but he had never seen the body. As outsiders, what do you think?"

"I understand……"

But at this moment, when Gao Yuan said this, Mitarai Zongxu closed his eyes, interrupted Gao Yuan's words, then looked at Mitarai Rui and said:
"Xiao Rui, it seems that he has already guessed this point with just a few clues. It can be seen that there is no need to hide it from him."

Hearing this, Mitarashi seemed to feel that she couldn't hide it, so she lowered her head, sighed slightly, took a step forward, and said to Gao Yuan:

"Mr. Wise, since the matter has come to this, let me explain clearly, about Miss Today's child..."

In this regard, seeing that the other party was willing to tell the truth, Gao Yuan nodded, and silently began to listen to the other party's story——

"The cause of everything is still my father's death."

Slowly, Mitarari began to tell the story:

"My father and Miss Kyoko met a few years ago. At that time, when I learned that my father wanted me to be in charge of business in Tokyo and let me buy the apartment where Ms. Kyoko lived, I asked over my father—

"What kind of entrustment is it that allows father to spend such a large sum of money directly to help her retain her residence for a detective.

"And my father told me that because of Miss Today's help, he helped him understand a knot in his heart for more than 20 years. That's why my father, in order to repay Miss Today, bought the apartment for her so that she could live there all the time. At the same time, when I mentioned more than 20 years ago, I naturally thought of my sister.

"So, when I asked my father, 'Is it something about my sister', my father nodded at me, but didn't continue to explain.

"But I know that 20 years ago, what could be said to be a knot in the heart by my father was the whereabouts of the scum who cheated on my sister! It's a pity that Miss Today will forget everything as soon as she falls asleep, and my father doesn't care about it." Tell me the whole truth, so in the end, I'm just guessing and don't know the specifics.

"But one time later, when my father was thinking about making a will, I overheard him say that he was worried that the terms of the will would be used by others in the end. I understood that he was worried that that person would Take this opportunity to come back, so even in the clauses of my father's will, I didn't distribute any property to my sister and her family who have been away for more than 20 years."

Ok……

Hearing this, Gao Yuan's face was calm, and he continued to wait for the other party's narration, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
Are you sure that what your father is worried about is the scumbag gambler who deceived Ms. Cai back then, and not some more terrifying force?

Therefore, what happened next was actually caused by the Mitarai family's misunderstanding?
"I know, because that guy has never seen his child's body, he always felt that his sister hid the child deliberately, so he never gave up. So, after my father passed away, I thought that no matter what, I must That guy was found, so I used Miss Kyoko..."

Mitarari seemed agitated, and admitted the whole thing, then looked at Gao Yuan with scorching eyes, and said resolutely:

"You're right. That incident was an experiment. Let's see if you can use certain methods to make detectives like Ms. Today Zi misunderstand your identity... If the experiment can be successful, use the misunderstanding of outsiders, as well as Ms. Today's child herself. The recognition of his own life experience may be able to find out that guy.

"But I didn't expect that halfway through the experiment, it was discovered by a detective..."

In this regard, upon hearing this answer, Gao Yuan sighed helplessly, then closed his eyes for a while, thought for a while, and then said:

"Miss Rui, but you still haven't answered the illegitimate child... No, it really should be the illegitimate daughter. What is the cause of the illegitimate daughter's death? Besides, Miss Rui, it seems that you and Ms. Cai They have a very good relationship, so do you know why Ms. Cai left Mitarai’s house and didn’t come back for so many years? Have you found out their whereabouts for 20 years?”

As he said that, seeing that the other party did not answer a key question, Gao Yuan couldn't help saying:

"Forget it, since you wanted to come to this cave from the very beginning, why don't you go in and have a look?"

Speaking of this, I saw a black cat slowly walking out of it under the night, and rubbed against Gao Yuan's feet.

So, just right, Gao Yuan picked up the cat and walked straight towards the iron gate of the cave behind the two of them, and after reaching the entrance of the cave, let the cat slip in through the gap between the iron gate and the mountain wall——

Seeing this, Mitarari was quite surprised.

As for Mitarai Zongxu, at this moment, he looked towards the depths of the forest with some doubts, as if he felt something, but he only glanced at it and didn't continue to look any further.

Soon, when the cat got into the cave, with the sound of a mechanism, the latch behind the iron door was opened from the inside.

After pushing the door and entering, Gao Yuan directly turned on the light switch inside.

Immediately, the dim yellow light illuminated the scene in the cave——

The shrine with Mitarai Sai's spiritual tablet suddenly appeared in the deepest part of the cave.

"Sister, sister's..."

Immediately, after seeing that shrine, Mitarai was suddenly taken aback. She never thought that this place would be like this——

"I don't care why Ms. Cai's spiritual position is here..."

In this regard, Gao Yuan went straight to the shrine, picked up the spirit tablet with the words "The Spirit of the Eldest Daughter Mitarai Sai", and displayed the base in front of Mitarai Mizui and Mitarai Zongxu——

However, under the base of this spirit card, there is actually written text:

"According to the last wish of the elder daughter, I hope that my daughter and the other women will stay here forever."

Because this text was written under the base of the spirit card, Gao Yuan didn't notice it at first, but it was discovered by accident after Kuroba Kaito came here later.

"From the interpretation of the text, the only person who can call Ms. Aya the 'old eldest daughter' is naturally only the former president, Mr. Haruka Mitarai. And the one born by Ms. Aya to the outsider can be called the 'outsider girl'. That's the so-called illegitimate daughter. Mr. Mitarai Haruki complied with Ms. Cai's last wish and asked her to stay here with her concubine..."

Seriously, Gao Yuan asked:
"In other words, the body of the illegitimate daughter should be in this cave! And Ms. Rui, after learning that the former president hid a fortune in the cave near the villa, why did you find it here so quickly? ? Do you know the truth about the death of the illegitimate daughter!"
