My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Or they might go straight to work on the case after the two leave, without chatting with Takayanagi Ichiro here.

“That utility pole is an obstacle I can’t get over, because my father was in a car accident right there and died in the hospital.”

Chapter 265 Officer Sato, I Can Be Your Dad

After hearing Sato Miwako's opening remarks, Takayanagi Ichiro understood what she was trying to say.

However, he did not say it himself, but waited for Miwako Sato to tell the story slowly.

If Takayanagi Ichiro really did say it, then Sato Miwako would definitely be terrified of him, because this matter is a top secret even for the police.

"Could it be that the case hasn't been solved yet?"

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's question, Sato Miwako looked at him with surprise, not expecting his guess to be so accurate.

“If things have been resolved, Officer Sato, I believe you won’t be so sad and depressed.”

"Eighteen years have passed since the case was filed. Three years ago, the police would follow up on the case every year."

However, after the 15-year statute of limitations for criminal cases expired, the police defined the case as a completely unsolved case and did not allocate many personnel to handle it.

Your police force is handling quite a lot of cases every day, and the extra manpower will definitely be used for new cases.

These kinds of unsolved cases, lasting over a decade, will remain unsolved unless there's a stroke of luck.

Miwako Sato had no secrets from Ichiro Takayanagi; she believed he would never reveal what he knew.

“I’m not a professional detective, but I’m a professional listener. I can listen to your story.”

Perhaps it was because there had been no progress in her father's case for eighteen years that made Sato Miwako feel very sad.

Now that she had another person, Takayanagi Ichiro, who was very willing to listen to her story, Sato Miwako did not hide anything and told her about her father's story in detail.

Takayanagi Ichiro didn't interrupt, and only gave his opinion after Sato Miwako finished speaking.

"Officer Sato, my advice is still not to give up. There might be a turning point in the future."

If Ichiro Takayanagi were currently a famous detective, he could request the original video footage and then provide his own analysis.

Unfortunately, Takayanagi Ichiro is currently a moneylender, so even if he has such reasoning, Sato Miwako probably wouldn't agree with it.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Takayanagi."

As soon as Miwako Sato finished speaking, she immediately stood up from her seat.

But then she thought it wasn't right and sat down again, pulling Takayanagi Ichiro away to block her way.

There must have been some noise outside that caught Sato Miwako's attention, Takayanagi Ichiro looked towards the location of the telephone pole outside.

It was discovered that a woman named Sato Miwako was slowly approaching the telephone pole, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

The person who would be at this time and place, holding flowers and doing this, is either a friend of Sato Miwako's father or the murderer from back then.

After placing the flowers, the somewhat short Sato Miwako clasped her hands together in prayer for a while before turning and leaving.

Miwako Sato couldn't wait any longer and immediately got up from her seat to chase after him.

"Officer Sato, you must not do anything reckless. You must remember your current identity."

Takayanagi Ichiro caught up with Sato Miwako and then spoke to her, advising her not to do anything reckless.

"That guy was my dad's good friend from high school, and they were even on the same baseball team."

After my father's accident, these people often visited my mother and me at our home and helped us a lot.

But his sneaking over to pay respects to my father at this time is clearly a bit strange, and I want to go over and ask him what's going on.

"If it's really just this kind of thing, then I can help out."

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's words, Sato Miwako was quite surprised. While chasing after the jungler, she asked Takayanagi Ichiro:

"Mr. Takayanagi, do you perhaps possess the ability to deduce?"

"I can't do reasoning, but I'm pretty good at imitating other people's voices, like this."

Takayanagi Ichiro adjusted his breathing rhythm slightly, and then continued to speak to Sato Miwako.

"Mr. Takayanagi, do you perhaps possess the ability to deduce?"

Upon hearing this, Sato Miwako stopped in her tracks in shock, because the voice was exactly the same as the one she had just heard.

However, it wasn't a repetition of her words, but rather they came from Takayanagi Ichiro's mouth.

"How can this be?"

"I am good at imitating voices, regardless of gender or age."

"If, Officer Sato, you suspect that the old man we just spoke to has anything to do with your father's case, then I could imitate your father's voice and try to mislead him."

"Have you ever seen my father, or heard his voice?"

Sato Miwako was deeply moved that Takayanagi Ichiro wanted to help her.

However, Ichiro Takayanagi never met his father, so his imitation probably wouldn't be accurate.

"All you need to do is tell me your father's speaking habits, Officer Sato. During the chase, I can gradually adjust my way of speaking until you are satisfied."

The two women didn't let the old man off the hook while they were talking; clearly, Sato Miwako didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Ichiro Takayanagi actually has this ability; now Miwako Sato has placed all her hopes on him.

So she immediately started talking about some of her father's speaking habits, and even provided some templates.

Although eighteen years have passed since her father passed away, the memory of this event is so vivid that nothing about him has been forgotten.

After listening to the speech patterns and carefully observing Sato Miwako's imitation, Takayanagi Ichiro gradually tried to make his own voice, and finally managed to produce a tone that satisfied Sato Miwako.

"Miwako, from now on this family will depend on you to support it. You are your mother's support."

As soon as Takayanagi Ichiro finished speaking, Sato Miwako stopped in her tracks, because the voice was exactly the same as the one she remembered.

"Officer Sato, the old man's path is a bit dark, so we can launch a surprise attack. We need to speed up."

When Takayanagi Ichiro saw Sato Miwako freeze in surprise, he immediately gave her his warning, then reached out and grabbed her hand to speed up their advance, because there was a good spot for an attack ahead.

Chapter 266 It's more exciting with handcuffs on.

Takayanagi Ichiro made a direct move on her, causing Sato Miwako's face to turn red instantly.

Sato Miwako has a strong liking for Takayanagi Ichiro, as he did something very righteous in the past.

Whether it was catching Makoto Ito on the train or resolving the issue with Kozo Akizuki earlier.

Now that Ichiro Takayanagi is helping him resolve the issues from eighteen years ago, more contact is necessary.

Moreover, every year on the anniversary of Sato Miwako's father's death, she would think about it.

If someone really did help me solve a case from eighteen years ago, then I would answer any question that person asked.

Of course, this matter was not publicized by the police.

Because the police cannot afford to waste resources on past cases, especially those that have already exceeded the statute of limitations.

Yuji Kano's arrival here so late at night must mean there's something about this that I don't know. Now all I can do is see how Ichiro Takayanagi reacts.

Therefore, Miwako Sato did not offer any resistance.

"Ka No, so many years have passed, how have you been?"

As Yuji Kano was about to turn the corner, he noticed a shadow in front of him that seemed strangely familiar.

Upon hearing this greeting, he jumped up, never expecting to hear that person's voice again after so many years.

The word "kano" was revealed by Miwako Sato herself and appeared in the notebook left behind by Masayoshi Sato.

The police believed that it was not very relevant to the case, so they simply left the notebook with Sato Masayoshi and her mother.

Over the years, Miwako Sato has tried to decipher this English letter, but without any success.

Takayanagi Ichiro's statement not only startled Kano Yuji, but also made Sato Miwako realize many things.

In the past, their solutions always put kan first and o last.

The current way of calling Ichiro Takayanagi is to separate "ka" and "no".

This brought back some memories for Sato Miwako; she must have heard that name from her mother before.

"who are you?"

Yuji Kano didn't turn around to find out who was behind the shadow because he felt guilty.

Of course, he couldn't directly show his inner cowardice, so he could only muster up his courage and ask.

"Go and turn yourself in."

In this scene, Ichiro Takayanagi uses the voice of Miwako Sato's father to advise Yuji Kano to turn himself in.

"Is justice you?"

Upon hearing this, Kano Yuuji was completely terrified.

The voice sounded just like his best friend's, and now he was even recounting their last conversation, as if he had just come from hell.

"You must have taken the wrong path for a moment, which is why the bank robbery happened."

And I believe you didn't spend a single penny of the money you robbed back then, otherwise you wouldn't have secretly come here to pay your respects to me."

thump!

This is the sound of Yuji Kano kneeling down.

"Justice: The robbery happened because my daughter had health problems."

You caught me so easily back then, you must have seen me swinging the gun on the security camera.

So you're advising me to turn myself in, but I don't dare, because if I do, my daughter will be in trouble.

My thought at the time was that I should just die myself. When you check my last words, you'll definitely find out about my situation and then take care of my daughter.

But I never expected that you would actually pull me back, and then you were thrown into the air by that car.
