"I'm so excited, so excited!" Masako said while dancing, "I've heard about the Ghost King case. It's really amazing that Detective Zhao was able to find out the truth about such an old case!"
"That's just a coincidence..." Zhao Yu said, "You are really well informed. The Ghost King case just happened not long ago, and you already know about it?"
"Yes," Masako said without hesitation, "I have been paying attention to you! The Ghost King case is really unexpected. The real murderer turned out to be... "
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business!" Zhao Yu waved his hand, "The reason why I asked you about the Yokohama Black Eye Case is to add weight to my inference.
"Well, Ianda Takaki was 26 years old at the time. If he apprenticed with his father, would he be able to learn the same sword skills as his father?"
"It's been 45 years, why..." Masako said with a grin, "When I hear you say that, I still feel creepy
"However, Iwata Takaki helped in the butcher shop in his early years and mastered some simple butchering techniques. Back then, the police also suspected him!
"However, he was really studying out of town at the time. Although there was no monitoring, the students and teachers in the same dormitory can prove it!"
"You are 26 years old, are you still in school?" Zhao Yu was puzzled.
"Yes," Masako nodded, "It is a professional and technical school. After completing your studies, you can work in the marine industry department in Yokohama. It is very popular!"
"In other words," Zhao Yu said, "the real culprit who killed the two girls must not be him?"
"Yes!" Masako nodded, "Looking at you, you seem to be unwilling to give in! My teacher had the same expression as you at the beginning! I feel... you two are very similar in some places... "
"I'm very curious..." Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Ianda Guiqi has the ability to kill so many jurors, even lawyers and judges...
"Then why did he? Why didn't he go find the real murderer? If he found the real murderer, wouldn't he be able to clear his father's name?"
"Oh, that's what you mean. I haven't answered your previous question yet!" Masako said, "The police also thought of your idea back then. However, Ianda's noble father did not accept any apprentices. The butcher shop was It’s a small business, and he has never hired anyone else!”
"Then..." Zhao Yu asked again, "Where is Pantian's noble mother?"
"His mother died very early," Masako said. "She died of illness, so Iwata Takaki and his father depended on each other and had a very good relationship!"
"Oh... That's it..." Zhao Yu was still thinking about something.
"According to the data," Masako said, "Iwata Nokki's water properties are particularly good, so I always felt that he probably didn't die when he jumped off the cliff!
"I just can't figure it out. If he was still alive, then the Black Eyed Case would not have stopped. He would at least attack the remaining jurors!"
"Is there anyone else in his family?" Zhao Yu thought for a while and asked again.
"There are no close relatives," Masako said. "I do have a few cousins, but they live in Hokkaido, which is relatively far away."
"In other words," Zhao Yu asked, "Is Pantian Guiqi an only son?"
"Yes, yes!" Masako nodded, "His mother died early, and his father never found another woman for his children, so he only had a child like Iwata Takaki!"
"It's like this..." Zhao Yu frowned, "This case is really full of doubts!"
“Although the technology back then was not very advanced,” Masako said, “the police thought of everything they could think of! From investigation to trial to execution, it took less than two years!
"In the past two years, they have really tried their best!"
"In this case," Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there is only one explanation, and that is, Pantian's noble father is the murderer!
"It's just that Takashi Iwata's psychology is distorted. He always firmly believes that his father is innocent! This stubborn thought stems from his love and trust in his father."
"Teacher Gu Zhao thought the same way back then, but," Masako shook his head, "Iwata's noble father was kind and kind, and he really didn't look like a murderer!
"If Takaki Iwata had no alibi, perhaps we could also understand that Takaki Iwata killed the two children, but it was his father who was responsible for the dismemberment!
"However, it is true that Iwata Takaki was not present. There is no one else in their family. This case... is completely a death case!"
"I think," Zhao Yu smiled bitterly, "There is no real death case in the world. Since a case has appeared, there must be a reason for it!
"Let me ask you..." Zhao Yu asked, "Did the police at that time investigate the background of the two murdered girls? Is there any conflict between their families, parents, and the Iwata family
"Or maybe those two girls have very good family conditions and might be kidnapped? Their murderer originally just wanted to plan a kidnapping
"Or... um... um..."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu was thinking seriously, but found that Yangshan Masako's face was covered with tears, and she actually cried...
"Huh?" Zhao Yu was greatly surprised and asked quickly, "Masako, Miss Masako, what's wrong with you...?"
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Masako wiped away her tears and said to Zhao Yu, "I just thought of the teacher. Looking at... looking at the way you were thinking seriously, I thought of my teacher Mr. Gu Zhao... "
No way
Zhao Yu felt strange and awkward. Do I look like that old man
"Zhao... Detective Zhao..." At this time, Masako suddenly changed his lively attitude, hugged Zhao Yu's arm, and begged, "I know, you also participated in that detective salon...
"Please... please tell me, my teacher Tani Zhaoichiro, how did he die?"
"You!?" Zhao Yu was suddenly startled, never expecting that Masako would ask this question.
"Please!" Masako cried, "Teacher Gu Zhao is like my father. Before leaving, he only told me that he was going to attend the Detective Salon organized by the Royal Academy of England.
"But I didn't expect that it would be the last time!
"When his body was sent back, I only knew that he was shot in the head and died," Masako sobbed and asked, "Detective Zhao, can you tell me who fired that shot?" ?”
"This..." Zhao Yu weighed it carefully and asked, "So, you are so close to me just to... find the truth about Tani Zhaoichiro's death?"
"Yes," Masako said bluntly, "I can't find anyone else. You are my only chance! Please!"
"I'm sorry, Masako!" Zhao Yu responded simply, "I can't tell you! You just need to know that the person who killed Tani Zhaoichiro has already paid the price for his actions.
"For the rest, I have no comment!"
In the Detective Salon on Miracle Island, Zhao Yu signed a confidentiality agreement with MI6. Even if Xi Wei is dead, it cannot be leaked.
"Woo... Wu..." Hearing Zhao Yu's answer, Masako cried even more sadly. However, it could be seen from her eyes that she understood Zhao Yu's difficulties and did not ask for more.
"Okay," Zhao Yu comforted, "Miss Masako, don't cry! I'm not familiar with Tani Zhaoichiro, but now I can at least help him fulfill one of his wishes!"
"Oh? What is your wish?" Masako asked hurriedly.
"Help him close the Black Eyed Case," Zhao Yu said confidently, "Let people know that although it has been 45 years, this is not a death case!!!"
