There was no need to continue the conversation since the information they wanted had been obtained. After hanging up the phone, Fujiwara Yu turned his head to look at Akihara Chisu who was carefully looking through the notebook. He didn't expect that Chisu was so impatient, otherwise she wouldn't have snatched his phone away.

He felt a little sorry when he thought that Chizu Akihara was just a traffic police officer. The fact that she could react quickly and realize that the accident was not simple showed that her logical reasoning ability was not weak, at least better than those Yamanashi Prefecture detectives who classified the suicide case of Mitsuru Hosho as an ordinary suicide case.

Fujiwara Yuu flexibly turned the pen in his hand with one hand. He looked at the silent Akihara Chisuga and asked:

"Officer Chisuga, I think you agree with me, right? Four coincidences are unrealistic. I think these four people are the culprits who jointly caused the accident. They are also the four who indirectly caused Mitsuru Hosou's suicide."

Akihara Chisu put down the notebook in her hand. She glanced at Takashi Sosuke meaningfully and nodded in approval.

"Yes, I agree with you. Now I understand why Chongwu's friend asked Chongwu to be his free bodyguard. He was afraid that someone would retaliate against them after knowing their conspiracy."

"Well, we can't completely rule out the suspicion of these four people. They are also possible culprits."

Fujiwara Yuu never jumps to definitive conclusions before conducting an in-depth investigation. He is very cautious and careful when it comes to cases, even to the point of being rather suspicious. This isn't a lack of confidence in his own analysis, but rather a multifaceted nature of the situation. He's only listening to one side of the story, and jumping to conclusions would be irresponsible.

Akihara Chisato took out a beer from the plastic bag at her feet. She skillfully opened the pull ring and took a sip, then sighed:

"You are indeed a suspicious man, but as a detective, it's good to be suspicious."

Fujiwara Yu just smiled and didn't reply. He always felt that Akihara Chisu looked at him with a strange look, and he didn't know if he was overthinking it or if it was really the case. In short, it would be better to say less to her to avoid exposing the problem.

For the next three and a half hours, the two of them didn't say a word, especially in the second half of the journey, when Akihara Chisu simply leaned his head against the window glass and fell asleep, even with an unfinished beer in his hand.

Originally, Fujiwara Yu was still worried about whether it would be difficult to wake up Akihara Chisuka. However, when the arrival announcement sounded in the train, Akihara Chisuka, who was still sleeping soundly, seemed to have received a mysterious signal. The first thing he did after waking up was to raise his head and finish the beer in his hand.

A book-reading app recommended to me by a book friend of ten years, Huanyuan App! It's so damn useful! I use it to pass the time reading aloud and listening to books while driving or before bed. You can download it here.

Is she...really asleep?

Chisu Akihara wiped the beer from her mouth with a handkerchief. She stood up, easily picked up two plastic bags of beer, and handed them to Sosuke Takagi. Sosuke took them, as a gentleman should. The two of them, one in front of the other, followed the signs inside the station and successfully reached the parking lot.

Yamanashi 500と34-91.

Looking up from the license plate, I found it was a dark gray Nissan Pulsar two-door station wagon.

It's an old car from more than ten years ago, but it's been well maintained.

Fujiwara Yu took out his car keys, unlocked the driver's seat, and got in. He fastened his seatbelt and began adjusting the seat to fit him. It couldn't be helped, as he was a full 1.9 meters tall, and his legs were nearly 1.2 meters long.

Chisu Akihara got in and quickly fastened her seatbelt. She opened the glove box in front of her and took out a map of Yamanashi Prefecture. After seeing the route drawn in red marker, she frowned and said,

"The road after entering the mountain is really winding. It's only 40 kilometers, but it feels like it took an hour to drive."

"It'll take about an hour." Fujiwara Yu started the car and started off, not forgetting to ask with concern: "If you're hungry, go get some fast food. We won't have dinner directly when we get there."

"No need, I've bought some sandwiches. If you're hungry, I'll open it." Akihara Chisu took out a sandwich made of tuna salad and ham salad from a plastic bag. This was her favorite flavor, and she wanted to satisfy her taste buds even if it was high in calories.

When Fujiwara Yu saw tuna in the sandwich, a look of disgust flashed across his face for 0.5 seconds. He shook his head calmly. He would not eat it even if he was hungry. He would have to wait for his next life to eat fish.

With Chisu Akihara's guidance, she didn't take a single wrong turn, and it only took her fifty minutes to navigate this complex mountain road. After parking the car, she opened the door and looked at the mountain mansion half-surrounded by the forest, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Building such a big house on the mountain is really luxurious."

The hidden rich second generation Fujiwara Yuu didn't think it was strange. His house in Tokyo was bigger than the Gensokan. After all, the archery dojo still took up a lot of space.

The two came to the front door of Huanzoukan. Fujiwara Yu raised his hand and knocked twice on the wooden door. Within two minutes, the door opened inward.

The person who appeared in front of them was a silver-haired old man about 1.7 meters tall. He was wearing a light purple sweater with a light yellow shirt underneath. He stood politely at the door. If he hadn't introduced himself, they would have almost mistaken him for the butler of Huanzou Hall.

"Welcome to the Hall of Gensou. I'm Yuge Masami. It must be hard to come to the villa in the mountains."

Although he was saying caring words, his expression was very cold. His slightly empty eyes and deep tear troughs gave people the feeling that he had no expectations for life anymore.
