"It means if the case is not solved within 24 hours, there will be another victim."

Bai Chuan said directly.

Mouri Shuichi's face became more serious, and he subconsciously wanted to seek Bai Chuan's opinion.

"Kuragi-kun, do you have any ideas now?"

"Actually, the idea is the same as that of the Maori police officer. First, we will investigate the individuals who have had friction with the deceased, and then based on the time of death, ask them for their alibi to determine whether they have the time to commit the crime."

Bai Chuan held the coffee cup and said calmly.

Maori Xiu nodded, "For now, the targets of my suspicion are several phone callers who often harass the deceased."

"No, there is nothing wrong with them. They were just hired to harass the deceased Ms. Yuuki Esaki. The person who has the problem should be the person who hired them, Mr. Katsuhisa Ishibashi."

Shirakawa looked at the slovenly middle-aged man Ishibashi Katsuhisa, "Mr. Ishibashi Katsuhisa, right?"

Ishibashi Katsuhisa immediately nervously denied, "What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't at all, it wasn't me, I didn't kill Esaki Yuki!"

"It turns out that you had people make those harassing phone calls. So, you are indeed very suspicious."

Hirata Xuehan, who was smoking a lady's cigarette, said, "Because she keeps rejecting you, it is very possible to get angry and kill her."

"Yes, I once saw you taking advantage of Ji-chan."

The older aunt also recalled it.

"It was you, it was you who killed Yuki-chan, you devil!"

Ichiro Sekiguchi held his head and cried.

Big beads of sweat appeared on Katsuhisa Ishibashi's head. He pointed at the makeup artist Yukihan Hirata and said roughly:

"I didn't, you guys are talking nonsense! When it comes to suspicion, your suspicion is even greater. You have always been jealous of Ezaki Yuki being more popular than you, and you are even more jealous of Ezaki Yuki's relationship with the boss. And you, Sekiguchi Ichiro, don't pretend to be innocent. Yes, you clearly said personally that you want Ezaki Yuki to pay the price."

"enough."

The gentle and gentle owner of Kinoshita Neko Death Care Company, Sugisaki Ryuji, suddenly spoke, interrupting the irritable Katsuhisa Ishibashi.

If he continues talking, his story will be exposed.

Mouri Shuichi frowned and looked at everyone present seriously,

"Please cooperate with the police investigation and repeat everything you know, as well as what you were doing and who you were with from 2 to 3 o'clock this morning."

Takeshima Mijie's eyes were full of surprise. It was really hard for her to imagine that the seemingly harmonious Kinoshita Neko Death Care Company had so many complicated interpersonal relationships hidden behind it.

Ms. Yuuki Esaki clearly looks gentle and kind, and she is hard-working, so why do so many people want her dead?

Takeshima Mie nervously held Shirakawa's hand.

The warmth of Bai Chuan's palm made her feel powerful.

Mouri Shuichi re-interrogated several people and got unexpected results.

Sekiguchi Ichiro, Hirata Yukihan, Ishibashi Katsuhisa, and Sugisaki Ryuji all have no alibi.

Sugisaki Ryuji said that he slept in the bedroom in the early morning. Because he slept alone, no one could prove it.

Hirata Yukihan was even seen quietly going back to the company at 10 o'clock. She said she dropped her lipstick at the company and came back to pick it up. After taking it away, it was 10:[-] in the evening and she went back to the apartment to rest, but it still wasn't there. witness.

Ichiro Sekiguchi claimed that he was playing games alone in his apartment and there were no witnesses.

Ishibashi Katsuhisa said that he drank too much and was sleeping at home. It happened that his parents went on a trip that day and did not come back. He was the only one left at night, and there was still no witness.

From the inquiry, Mouri Xiuyi got the general grudges between several people and the deceased. His expression was serious and his brows were furrowed.

"I now suspect that the murderer is among you. I do not rule out the possibility of your joint crime. Please follow me back to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation."

"Officer, I am truly innocent."

"I will never do anything to hurt Yuki-chan."

"Yes, no matter what, I would never do such a thing."

"Officer, it must be him. He killed Miss Yuki."

The four suspects are already blaming each other, believing that the other is the murderer and they are innocent.

Maori Shuichi ignored their dog-eat-dog behavior and prepared to take them all back for investigation.

"Kuragi-kun, do you want to go back with us?"

Shuichi Mori asked.

Bai Chuan shook his head, "The murderer should be someone else."

"why?"

Shuichi Mouri asked doubtfully.

"Since the murderer has given clues that he will commit crimes 24 hours a day, it proves that he is a psychopathic serial murderer. That eliminates the suspicion of the four people because they all have specific personal grudges with Miss Esaki Yuki. It’s easy to become a scapegoat for a murderer.”

And I don’t sense any psychopathic vibe in them.

Bai Chuan added inwardly.

"After ruling out the four of them as suspects, who is the real suspect?"

Mouri Shuichi asked in confusion.

After thinking calmly, Bai Chuan got a clue from the identification results. He said uncertainly,

"Perhaps he is the boyfriend of the deceased Ms. Yuki Ezaki."

"What? Miss Yuki Esaki has a boyfriend?"

"When did this happen?"

"It's unlikely. Boss Sugisaki is still dating her privately, isn't he?"

"Miss Yuki doesn't seem like someone who can hide secrets. If she had a boyfriend, she would have made it public by now, right?"

Even the four suspects knew nothing about the deceased having a hidden boyfriend, and other colleagues started talking about it.

Maori Shuichi also waited for Shirakawa to give an explanation.

Shirakawa looked at Sugisaki Ryuji,

"Probably because the relationship with Sugisaki Ryuji has not been completely broken off, Miss Yuki concealed her online dating..."

"Since they were lovers, why did he kill Miss Yuuki?"

Takeshima Mie looked up at Shirakawa, her eyes full of confusion.

It's just a normal situation. Two people who are in love will not do such a thing that goes against common sense.

"What's so difficult to understand? Maybe he knows the true identity of Yuki Ezaki."

Said Katsuhisa Ishibashi, who was eager to get rid of suspicion.

Shuichi Mouri frowned and looked at Katsuhisa Ishibashi,

"Please be clearer."

"Ezaki Yuki is a bitch. Not only did she have an affair with the boss, but she also hooked up with Sekiguchi Ichiro. It is said that she once worked as a call girl in the custom street."

Katsuhisa Ishibashi made no secret of his disdain for the deceased.

Hirata Xuehan was slightly stunned. Although she hated the deceased, she never thought that the deceased had ever worked as a call girl.

This turned her jealousy into a joke. She clenched the cigarette butt with her fingers and almost got burned. She wanted to take off the suit jacket of the same style as the deceased immediately.

In the end, Maori Xiuyi followed Bai Chuan's suggestion and asked people to find the hidden boyfriend of the deceased.

Shirakawa, Takeshima Mie, and the four suspects, along with Officer Mori and others, came to the Metropolitan Police Department to drink tea.

Although Shirakawa believed that the murderer was someone else, it was reasonable for Shuichi Mouri to bring the other four suspects back to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation without finding the fifth suspect.

Shirakawa noticed that Takeshima Mie had been taking medicine, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her breathing became rapid.

Her condition is getting worse and worse, from a seemingly normal girl to an extremely weak patient.

Under this situation, Bai Chuan was in no mood to play any dangerous detective game with a psychopath.

He picked up the weak girl worriedly,

"Mie-chan, let me take you to the hospital first."

"No, no, I don't want to go to the hospital, I want to be with Shirakawa-chan."

Tears appeared in Takeshima Mijie's eyes.

Bai Chuan stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears and said softly.

"I'll be with you in the hospital."

Takeshima Mijie didn't speak any more. She lay weakly on Shirakawa's chest and gradually fell asleep.

With the help of Maori Shuichi, Bai Chuan arrived at the hospital in a police car.

Takeshima Mie's father, Takeshima Daye, received a call and rushed to the hospital. In addition to him, there were Takeshima Mie's sister, brother and younger siblings, as well as bodyguards and maids. Takeshima Mie was transferred to a better private hospital.

After settling in Takeshima Mijie at the private hospital, Takeshima Daye formally met Shirakawa who was sitting at the door of the ward.

He patted the young man on the shoulder and comforted,

"Kuragi-kun, you have done a great job. Mijiang sends me messages every night to tell me that she is very happy, happier than ever before, thank you.

"But the next part of the journey is probably the most cruel and helpless. I hope you can persevere and accompany Meijiang to the end, and don't run away."

Takeshima Daye's tone was filled with pleading and sincerity.

"It takes a lot of courage to face the departure of an important person in your life. Even I want to escape."

"Mr. Takeshima, I will not run away."

Shirakawa raised his head and looked at Takeshima Daye with tears in his eyes.

As a father, begging a strange young man to accompany his daughter on her final journey must be full of sadness and helplessness.

Takeshima Daye nodded, "I will fulfill my promise after Meijiang leaves."
