Net King Whale Fall

Yuichi Sakai, 36 years old this year, is a top study abroad consultant at Beika Education and also the finance manager of the organization.

This is their real name after their investigation. Sakai Yuichi's name appeared in all the study abroad agencies they investigated before, but under different names. He's quite bold.

Officer Matsuda went off to make the arrest with great excitement. After so long, he had finally spotted a key figure and was determined not to let him get away.

Sanada Rin and A-Da arrived at the hiding place where Sakai Yuichi was last seen. The police arrived in time, and their fire did not burn much, but left behind a lot of evidence, which was collected and investigated by the evidence team.

Sanada Rin looked around, even venturing into the secret passage they had used to escape, but found nothing she was looking for.

Genichiro Sanada was puzzled. He watched for a long time and, seeing that Rei Sanada seemed to be taking a break, asked softly, "Are you looking for something?"

Sanada Rin snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Sanada Genichiro. "Serial killers usually have a hobby of collecting things, and what they call collectibles or trophies are closely related to the victims."

A jolt seemed to run through Genichiro Sanada's mind; he seemed to have discovered something he had forgotten.

Sanada Rin said calmly, "Eyes, I'm looking for the victims' eyes."

Genichiro Sanada felt his lips and tongue stiffen. "Not here?"

“Yes,” Sanada Rin looked back at the house, “which proves that this is not his stronghold.”

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. The old man has managed to hide for so long without being caught; he must have some skill."

Genichiro Sanada remained silent. He followed Rei Sanada's gaze and saw Shinichi Kudo rummaging through the corner. "Is he...?"

"Perhaps he has discovered some other clues. He will tell us later, no rush."

Their working methods are slightly different, but as long as the final result is the same, nothing else matters.

It's getting late, so Ah-Da went to rescue Kudo, who had been caught and reprimanded by the police.

Genichiro Sanada, observing their movements, asked, "Have you made a discovery? Where are you headed?"

Sanada Rin put her hands in her pockets, gesturing for Sanada Genichiro to follow. "Let's eat. You've been running around all day, aren't you hungry, brother?"

Genichiro Sanada: "."

My emotions fluctuated so much that I didn't feel hungry at the moment.

"Don't worry about the murderer. Inspector Matsuda has already sent people to arrest him. There's a city-wide search. He won't be able to hide for more than a few days."

Genichiro Sanada wasn't worried; he was just a little, well, a little excited in a way that was hard to put into words.

Sanada Rei straightened her gaze. It was normal for Sanada Genichiro to be like this now; he was a newcomer, and it was a necessary step. She had gone through the same thing back then.

On the bus, Shinichi Kudo loosened his collar, looking helpless. The policeman had acted too quickly; he hadn't even had time to react before he was lifted up and almost strangled. Luckily, Ah-Da arrived in time.

Seeing his expression, Sanada Rin handed him a bottle of water and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Shinichi Kudo: "The existing information can only prove that he was involved in money-for-sex transactions, drugged students, and sent them away like commodities."

“The crucial point is,” Shinichi Kudo said, his brow furrowed with seriousness, “that the number of victimized students is not quite right.”

"I have a bad feeling."

The two looked at each other, and Sanada Rin sighed softly, "You know, I always assume the worst."

Ah Da glanced through the rearview mirror, but his ears perked up as he listened intently.

"The murderer, Yuichi Sakai, may be responsible for these cases of bodies being dumped." "But behind the scenes, there is another person or organization controlling everything."

"The victims are almost all students, and the victims who have been found to have been pregnant and given birth more than once, and we still have no idea where those children are."

"A wise and clean mother, repeatedly giving birth, too many coincidences are the truth."

Sanada Rin had seen too many such circles when she was in New York. On the dark web, these circles could even be openly priced. Destroy one and a new one would appear. As long as greed continues, these circles will never be eradicated.

“I strongly suspect that they are using these students for surrogacy export, and there are some places where some people prefer Asian children, you know what I mean.”

“Yuichi Sakai is just one of them. Usually, these perverts work alone and take care of everything on their own.”

“But he is human and needs money to live. He can pick out ‘prey’ from among the huge number of victims who suit his taste, so it’s not surprising that he stays to cooperate.”

"To find out exactly what happened in between, investigate his father, and then bring him back for interrogation."

Shinichi Kudo's last remaining illusions were shattered; alas, he was simply too afraid to even think about it.

Genichiro Sanada, who was listening from the side, had his eyes wide open. It wasn't just a serial killer.
It was getting late, and I should have eaten something to replenish my energy, but I still had things to investigate and I really wasn't in the mood, so I just grabbed a quick bite at a restaurant and went back to the hotel.

Most of the police officers have been sent out to make arrests, so there's no point in going there now; the computer is enough.

As they parted, Sanada Rin reminded Sanada Genichiro, "Get some rest, lock the doors and windows, you have to go out again tomorrow."

Genichiro Sanada nodded, determined not to hold anyone back. "Okay, you too, go to sleep early."

Resting early is impossible. Sanada Rin is now very interested in Sakai's father, a serial killer who was not caught and died peacefully in his sleep.

The phone rang on time, and Sanada Rin answered it. Atobe Keigo's handsome face appeared on the screen. "Good evening."

Atobe Keigo immediately sensed something was wrong from the angle. "Good evening... Are you still busy?"

Sanada Rin had already washed up beforehand and said, "Yes, it's a crucial clue. I'll be quite busy these next couple of days."

Atobe Keigo didn't hesitate, "You're busy, don't worry about me."

"Okay," Sanada Rin made a gesture, and without any hesitation, turned around and went to do her own thing.

Nobuji Sakai, the father of Yuichi Sakai, died at the age of 78 from pancreatic cancer. Wow, that old man lived a really long life.

It is truly true that good people don't live long, while evil ones live for a thousand years.

Shinji Sakai also worked at this educational institution when he was young, and then there's his wife...? Why isn't there any information about his wife? Could Yuichi Sakai have been found?

Sanada Rin refused to believe it; someone with a name and surname couldn't possibly dig up your life story.

Keigo Atobe is getting used to it; he doesn't disturb Rei Sanada when she's working, and just watches silently.

Hmm, perhaps he could consider changing the layout of his study at home.

Sanada Rin buried herself in the task and, as expected of the access her uncle had granted her, finally managed to find the person.

Sakai Kawako, a black and white photo gradually loaded onto the computer screen. Sanada Rin pressed her eyes, just as expected.

The face that appeared in the center of the screen wasn't particularly stunning, but it looked strangely familiar.

If one's gaze shifts to the documents on the table, this Sakai Kawako bears an almost identical resemblance to all the victims, especially those from earlier timelines. (End of Chapter)
