On the phone.

Guan Feng explained the results of the interrogation to Zhao Dong.

Upon learning that the uncle and nephew shared a lover, Zhao Dong couldn't help but exclaim, "These foreigners! They really don't know the meaning of morality and shame! Xiao Guan, I heard you can analyze micro-expressions? How credible do you think Yoshino Yuutake's words are?"

Guan Feng said, "Judging from the micro-expressions, it doesn't seem like a lie. Of course, we still need to ask Mihoko to see if there are any discrepancies."

Zhao Dong said, "Our people have found Mieko, but no one understands Japanese, so you'll have to come back and ask them."

Guan Feng said, "I'll go back right now! There's also something else I need to tell the squad leader. When I asked Yoshino Yuu to recall the details, he mentioned that the two of them were doing something indescribable at the time (300 words omitted) when Yoshino Yuu heard a sound walking by outside."

"Given the urgency of the case, could we take a two-pronged approach? Investigate the possibility that the other party entered from the outside?"

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "Your reminder was very timely! We had been considering it to be a female perpetrator, but we can't rule out entry from a height. I'll have the forensic team investigate the evidence. When will you be back?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "I'm already on my way back."

Zhao Dong said, "Okay!"

......

Five minutes later.

Guan Feng returned to the 16th floor.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Dong spotted him, immediately waved, and said in a serious tone, "Xiao Guan, your reminder was very timely. The technical department just conducted a preliminary observation and found trampling marks on the outer wall. This is footage taken by the drone. Take a look!"

Guan Feng took the drone screen and looked at it.

As the video played, faint footprints were indeed visible on the outer wall.

Zhao Dong asked, "Can these footprints be used for footprint identification?"

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "It's difficult! High-altitude rock climbing involves walking in an abnormal posture. In addition, the walls are hard, and the force-bearing surface cannot be seen, which further damages the identification of footprints. Moreover, these shoes are specially made, so it is almost impossible to see anything."

Zhao Dong sighed and said, "I guessed it was the same! Okay, let's wait for the test results from the technical department. Come with me first, Mieko has already been brought here."

Guan Feng nodded and followed Zhao Dong into the bedroom.

Mihoko sat on the edge of the bed, accompanied by Zou Qian, an office worker.

Guan Feng asked, "Are you Mieko?"

When Mihoko heard that someone could speak Japanese, she thought she had met a fellow countryman and her eyes lit up. But when she saw Guan Feng, her eyes quickly dimmed, and she nodded and said, "I am! You speak Japanese?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "If it's convenient, can we take your statement now?"

Mieko said, "It's convenient for you to do."

Guan Feng said to Zou Qian, "Sister Zou, just keep the recorder on."

Zou Qian said, "Okay."

Guan Feng began to ask, "Did you enter or leave this room between 9 pm last night and 7:30 am this morning?"

Mieko nodded and said, "I've been here before."

Guan Feng asked, "When?"

Mieko said, "Around 7 a.m.

Guan Feng asked, "Why do you remember it so clearly?"

Mihoko said, "I live on the 14th floor. I usually go out around 7 o'clock and take the elevator up. It's always around this time."

Guan Feng asked, "Do you usually come at this time?"

Mieko replied, "Yes."

Guan Feng asked, "What are you here for?"

Mieko said, "You should have already asked Yuu-wu, right?"

Guan Feng did not answer the question, but said directly, "Whether we asked or not is a matter for the police. You just need to answer the question."

Mieko nodded and said, "I know! I did that kind of thing with Yuu."

Guan Feng asked, "Then what about you and Yoshino Masamichi?"

Mihoko said, “My lover! I know what you’re thinking. I’ve been with Yoshino Masayuki for three to five years. He said he would marry me after the child grew up and he fulfilled his obligations, but he didn’t. So why should I be devoted to him? In your old Chinese saying, why hang yourself on one tree?”

Guan Feng, seeing the hatred in the other person's eyes, asked, "So choosing Yoshino Yuutake was also a well-considered decision?"

Mieko nodded upon hearing this, and said with a sneer, "Yoshino Masazo is the most hypocritical person. He used to get my ex-husband drunk and then commit the crime in front of him, but he always pretended to be a gentleman in front of his family. Since that's the case, I'll make him feel embarrassed! I'll let him know what family scandals are!"

Guan Feng asked, "When did you and Yoshino Yuutake start dating?"

Mieko thought for a moment and said, "It should have been two months ago."

Guan Feng, recalling Yoshino Yuu's description of being drunk, asked, "Was it also after being drunk?"

Mieko's lips curled into a slight smile, a sense of vengeful pleasure in her voice. "That's right! It was when he was drunk, right in front of Yoshino Masazo. I never expected that Yoshino Yuutake would develop a taste for this afterward. Every morning, before his uncle leaves the house, he would call me over and then pretend to be picking him up for work. Hahaha, the whole Yoshino family is like this, they have no humanity whatsoever!"

Guan Feng, seeing the madness in the other person's tone, asked, "Then tell me what happened in the house today? Don't leave out any details."

Mihoko glanced at Guan Feng in surprise: "You like listening to this kind of thing too?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Feng tapped the table and said seriously, "What are you talking about? Now that a murder has occurred, any detail could have a fatal impact on the case. Do you think our police have nothing better to do than listen to you discuss these details?"

Mieko quickly said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. How detailed should I explain?"

Guan Feng said, "The more detailed, the better."

Mihoko looked at Guan Feng with some suspicion again.

He then proceeded to explain the details.

Guan Feng mentally compared these details with Yoshino Yuutake's account.

A moment later.

Guan Feng asked, "Did you hear anything at the time?"

Mihoko's expression began to change, but she pretended not to notice and said, "No! Yuu is very good in that area. I was very focused at the time and didn't hear any sound. Sir, what kind of sound are you referring to?"

Guan Feng stared at the other person's expression and said, "For example, someone walking outside the wall?"

Visible to the naked eye.

Mieko's expression changed again.

She shook her head and said, "I'm sorry! I really don't remember anything about it."

Guan Feng thought of what the other person had said and asked, "That's alright, after all, when people are invested in one thing, it's hard for them to invest in other things."

Mieko replied, "Yes."

Guan Feng then asked, "I wonder if it's convenient for us to visit your home?"

Mieko's expression changed instantly.
