Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

"Madam, your expression could easily be misunderstood."

Kitagawa Taki took out a photo and a small notebook from the inner pocket of Uehara Yui's clothes.

When Yui Uehara opened her eyes and saw the photos and notebook in Kitagawa Taki's hand, she was shocked and subconsciously reached out to snatch them back.

But Kitagawa Taki raised his hand to avoid it.

"Give it back to me!" Uehara Yui shouted in desperation.

"Shh-"

Kitagawa Taki made a gesture to silence.

Uehara Yui was so angry that her teeth were about to break, but she could do nothing.

The photo is a group photo of two children, a boy and a girl, and a policeman in the middle.

The girl is Uehara Yui, and the boy looks a lot like Yamato Gansuke.

The notebook does not belong to Yui Uehara. Judging from the content inside, its owner is Shigeji Torada.

It records how four people, including Shigeji Torada, caused the death of Gento Kai six years ago.

Uehara Yui said coldly: "Can you give it back to me?"

However, Kitagawa Taki had no intention of returning it.

He asked with great interest, "How do you plan to kill the remaining two people?"

Uehara Yui laughed at herself and asked, "Why? Do you want to help me?"

Beichuan Taki said: "It's not impossible, just tell me your plan first."

Uehara Yui was stunned, then asked: "Why?"

He said casually: "There is no reason, I just do it when I want to."

Yui Uehara frowned and then told her detailed plan.

After listening to her story, Beichuan Taki finally remembered, isn't this "Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain"?

But something seemed wrong. Although he had forgotten the murderer and the motive for the murder, it was definitely not Uehara Yui.

After all, Yui Uehara is one of the "Nagano Trio"...

Forget it, I can’t figure it out.

Beichuan Taki simply stopped thinking about it and asked:

"Do you think your methods can hide from two famous detectives and Yamato Gansuke?"

In her plan, she made Shigeji Torada the scapegoat.

Shigeji Torada's notebook is the key. She will use it to lure Shigeji Torada out, and then plan to kill him with the high voltage electricity of the tram.

After hearing Kitagawa Taki's question, Uehara Yui was silent for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Half a year ago, Yamato Gansuke encountered an avalanche in the mountains while investigating Kai Gento's affairs. She originally thought that Yamato Gansuke was dead.

Feeling disheartened, and having discovered some problems with the quartet, she became suspicious of them. In order to conduct a more in-depth investigation, she married Yoshiro Torada.

It was not until recently that she obtained the decisive evidence, which was this notebook by Shigeji Torada.

From that moment on, she was planning her murder.

A few days ago, Yoshiro Torada encountered a tornado accident, and she came up with the idea of using "Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain" to kill people.

She thought that this was God helping her, but she didn't expect that fate would play tricks on her and Yamato Gansuke survived!

But she can't go back...

Originally, Kitagawa Taki wanted to give Uehara Yui some advice, but he suddenly thought of a suspicious point, so he said:

"I have another question. If Torada Shigeji corresponds to 'fire', why didn't you use a simpler method, such as burning him to death directly with fire?"

After a moment of silence, Yui Uehara said, "Because compared to being burned alive, this way of dying is quicker, less painful, and more like suicide."

"No, no." Kitagawa Taki shook his head. "You said you would hang the laptop on the high-voltage power line and have Torada Shigeji retrieve it with a fishing rod. This method is easy to see through."

"The Art of War by Sun Tzu says: 'It is swift as the wind, silent as the forest, aggressive as fire, immovable as a mountain.'"

"This is also the strategy that Takeda Shingen advocated." Kitagawa Taki asked, "You are referring to this, right?"

Uehara Yui didn't say anything. She was not surprised that Kitagawa Taki thought of this.

Beichuan Taki continued, "But there are two more sentences following these: They are as hard to understand as the shadows, and as powerful as thunder."

"Actually, Torada Shigeji corresponds to 'thunder', am I right?"

"Kai Gento's death corresponds to Yin, so there is only Fire left."

"Did you leave this for yourself?" Kitagawa Taki's eyes were burning.

Uehara Yui remained silent because this was her real plan.

She was now completely numbed by Kitagawa Taki. He first found her in the room, and then took out the photos and notebook from her shirt.

In contrast, she was no longer surprised that Kitagawa Taki guessed her real plan.

In fact, she knew very well that she could not hide the truth from Yamato Gansuke, but she didn't know how to face him when the time came.

Her hands were already covered in blood, so she simply died.

Although escaping is shameful, it is useful, isn't it?

Kitagawa Taki got the answer from Uehara Yui's face. No wonder she looked so depressed. If you didn't know, you would think it was because her husband had just died.

"I guess it's because of Yamato Gansuke." Beichuan Taki paused and continued: "Not only did you marry him, but you also killed someone. You don't know how to face him like this..."

"That's enough! Stop talking!"

Uehara Yui could no longer hold it in, her body limp to the ground, sobbing softly.

"I thought he was dead..." Uehara Yui couldn't control her tears and her crying became louder and louder.

Kitagawa Taki did not stop him. If a person suppresses his emotions for too long and does not vent them, problems will easily arise.

……

Uehara Yui's crying still attracted other people.

Kitagawa Taki could hear the faint sound of footsteps, and the person coming was Torada Tatsuei.

She walked to the door, knocked on it, and asked softly, "Yuyi, are you okay?"

Yui Uehara stopped crying, wiped her tears, and said, "I'm fine."

Torada Tatsuei sighed: "I know you feel bad about Yoshiro's death, but we who are still alive must look forward."

"Ok, I know."

Torada Tatsuei's words reminded her that she had not yet completed her plan.

Those four people are the culprits who caused all this!

Even if their original intention was just to injure Kai-senpai, they didn't know that Kai-senpai didn't die after falling off the cliff.

But when the whole village was mobilized to look for someone, they didn't even have to explain anything, they could just pretend to have found Kai-senpai.

In that case, Kai-senpai would not have died, and Yamato Gansuke would not have become disabled because of investigating this case.

So they must die!

"Yui, have a good rest..." Torada Tatsuei sighed again.

Uehara Yui just sat on the ground, staring blankly at Kitagawa Taki.

After several minutes, it was quiet outside again.

She finally said, "Mr. Beichuan, can I ask you for a favor?"

Kitagawa Taki gestured for her to speak directly.

Uehara Yui pleaded, "Just pretend you don't know. It will all be over tomorrow!"
