v5 Chapter 22: secret

Just as Kakiya Haruko fell to the ground and burst into tears, everyone present focused on her, but Lin Xiuyi quietly looked at Nantian Yasuji who was sitting on the side.

"Officer Lin, is she the one who killed the female passenger?"

Specialist Ishibashi, who was sitting in the corner, stood up from his seat angrily. If his eyes could kill, the current Kakitani Haruko is already a corpse. Ishibashi certainly has reasons to be angry. The Cassiopeia luxury train is the flagship train that JR East Japan has spent decades to build successfully. Over the years, jr East Japan has been using the Shinkansen's unique and comfortable travel style to attract tourists from all over the country and the world. But a murder would completely destroy the credibility of the luxury rail travel that the brand Cassiopeia stands for. If even the right to life of passengers cannot be protected, what else can jr East Japan use to attract high-end users?

"No, the murderer is actually someone else!" As soon as Lin Xiuyi said this, everyone present became even more strange. After talking for so long, Mrs. Kakigu was not the real murderer. Who was the murderer?

"Mrs. Kakitani, I think you must have been coerced by someone to make an alibi!" Lin Xiuyi looked back at Haruko Kakigu, who was kneeling on the ground. He leaned over and asked her. road·.

"Please, don't say it anymore!" Haruko Kakiguchi suddenly hugged Lin Xiuyi's calf and begged with all her might. She has now fully understood her situation. Lin Xiuyi has already investigated everything clearly. She can't hide it from this young policeman. The other party seems to have the ability to read people's hearts, although Lin Xiuyi has not told everything. Come out, but Kakiya Haruko understands that she has no room for bargaining.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Kakitani, your matter involves an innocent life. If I don't tell the truth, then the real murderer of Ms. Shiraishi Erika will go unpunished. So, I have to tell the next thing... …”

Lin Xiuyi helped Kakitani Haruko back to his seat, then walked to the piano again, facing the suspect present, and continued:

"When I was interviewing with Mrs. Kakiya for the first time, the old lady next door once said something that caught my attention. When you served the old lady Kakiya to drink the soup, the old lady Kakiya complained at that time. One sentence - 'Why is the medicine so bitter today'. At that time, I felt a little strange, a patient who took the medicine for a long time suddenly felt that the medicine became bitter. What is going on? It stands to reason that since it is taken for a long time Drugs, I'm afraid I've already gotten used to that smell."

"Just now, when I finally had the opportunity to testify with Mrs. Kakiya alone, the old lady's reaction told me that the taste of the soup that Mrs. Kakiya served her had indeed changed, so I was in Think, could it be that Cheng Fei of Tang Yao has changed?"

"So I asked your daughter, Tamiko, about your usual steps for dispensing medicine, and Tamiko immediately took this out of her luggage and handed it to me."

As soon as Lin Xiu spoke, he gently took out a transparent plastic bag from the pocket of his clothes, which seemed to contain some kind of herbal medicine.

"This is what I got from your daughter Tumiko. Although I don't know much about Kampo medicine, I can see that this thing is called licorice. It is a very beneficial medicine for people, but suffering from It is not suitable for patients with certain diseases, such as the old Mrs. Kakigaya who suffers from heart disease. This herb will cause some subtle harm to her body. If things go on like this, I don't think even an experienced forensic doctor will be able to detect it. !"

As soon as Lin Xiuyi said these words, Kakiguharuko's whole body trembled involuntarily. She opened her mouth wide, but couldn't say anything, as if her throat was blocked by something.

"Mrs. Kakiya, I can understand the hardships of taking care of a sick mother-in-law for a long time as a housewife and raising children. But no matter what the reason is, it can't be used as an excuse to take other people's lives, especially in front of your own daughter. This kind of thing..." Lin Xiuyi reprimanded loudly, the whole person roared angrily, everyone present was shocked by Lin Xiuyi's aura, the whole room was surprisingly quiet, only Kakigu Haruko, whispering sobbing.

"Ms. Kakigu, there is one sentence I don't know if I should say it. In fact, the old lady's complaint that day was more like a self-talk to me. If I guess correctly, the old lady I'm afraid I've always wanted you to change the medicine to the original flavor..."

As soon as Lin Xiuyi said these words, Kakigu Haruko suddenly raised his head in astonishment and looked at Lin Xiuyi with a pair of crying red eyes.

"Yes, I think the old lady's heart has long understood. She drank every bowl of medicine you gave her in silence, and then said thank you to you from the bottom of her heart, she actually understood everything. , Just now, when I said goodbye to Mrs. Kakitani, she suddenly and meaningfully said to me, Haruko is the only person I can rely on..."

At this time, Haruko Kakigu's mind was like a bolt from the blue. She never thought that her behavior would be seen through by her seriously ill mother-in-law. told others. At this time, Haruko felt extremely remorse in her heart. Why did she never pay attention to her mother-in-law's reaction? Yes, she put the licorice that hurt her mother-in-law's life in her mother-in-law's life-saving medicine. How dare she raise her head uprightly How about looking at grandma's eyes? Now that I think about it, whenever my mother-in-law finishes drinking that bowl of soup and medicine, and holds the medicine bowl in both hands to say thank you to herself, her heart always feels as uncomfortable as it is cracked.

After Haruko got married to the Kakiya family, her relationship with her husband faded not long ago. Now she, her mother-in-law and her daughter were sent to the distant Aomori Prefecture by her husband. And my husband, maybe he's sleeping in a hotel in Tokyo with a beautiful secretary in his arms! Whenever she thinks of this picture, Haruko's heart is full of hatred, and she ignores her love for her daughter and her mother-in-law's guilt for her. Haruko has never told her mother-in-law these things, but her mother-in-law knows better than anyone else...

"Mrs. Kakitani, the real culprit who killed Miss Erika Shiraishi also knew that you poisoned her mother-in-law's soup, and used it as a threat to ask you to help him forge evidence of his alibi, I'm right! "

As soon as Lin Xiu walked in front of Nantian Kangzhi, he said disdainfully.

"You are talking nonsense... I didn't kill people!" Nan Tian Kangzhi denied in horror.
