"It doesn't matter if you don't understand."

Sakaki Makoto smiled:

"These words were not meant for you."

"Um?"

After a moment of shock, Matsuo Shin looked up and said:

"What's the meaning?"

"Do you know why Minister Toyama asked Inspector Otaki to take Councillor Goji to have tea next door?"

Walking up to him, Sakaki lowered his voice and said grimly:

"Because in this case..."

"The township councillor will never know what you said to us."

"you!!!"

Matsuo Shin looked at him in shock, his face suddenly turned pale:

"You are slandering!!!"

"I didn't say anything!"

"You didn't say anything, but the township councillor doesn't know!"

Sakaki Cheng spread his hands and said with a smile:

"We only need to say afterwards that there is insufficient evidence to let the township councillor off."

"But what will you do then?"

"Would Goji Sotaro keep a secretary around who betrayed him?"

Beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down.

Matsuo Shin's eyes were red as he glared at Sakaki Makoto, shaking with anger:

"You are committing murder!"

"murder?"

Sakaki looked at the policemen around him who also had strange expressions on their faces, and said:

"But you didn't kill Numabuchi Kiichiro!"

"The turbid will remain turbid, and the clear will remain clear."

"Since you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door!"

Everyone, except Matsuo Shin, nodded in agreement.

But the sneer on their lips revealed their true feelings.

"But..."

Sakaki Makoto smiled and said:

"I'm not a bad person. If you confess now, it will be considered as surrendering yourself."

"If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to find this store anymore..."
