Chapter 1928-1936 [It’s a pity not to be Uzo]

When Takamori Masumi heard what Torimaru Naoko said, and thought of the reason why Inspector Fuwa was defeated, he felt that there was a hint of ridiculousness and horror in the absurdity:

"You don't mean to say that the man was using the pair of 'twins' as a metaphor for the two of us. And he killed four people and brought down a police inspector just to remind us that as 'twins', we must always speak with the same voice, act well, and not be exposed?"

Torimaru Naoko nodded, then shook her head: "His most important target may be the drug dealers or the police, but this doesn't stop him from doing something to us as well."

She looked at Takamori Masumi: "We have a grudge against each other. After plastic surgery, we will become twins. But Narumi Fuwa and Karen Fumizuki are sisters who have become alienated. After plastic surgery, they became different people. In the end, one of them died and the other went to prison. The younger sister was killed by the older sister herself..."

Torimaru Naoko took a deep breath and said, "Those two poor women are like some kind of mirror of us. That person must be using this to warn us not to be alienated. Even if we have to endure, we must meet his requirements and be a pair of model twin sisters who love each other."

Masumi Takamori hadn't thought so much about it at first, but after hearing Naoko Torimaru's analysis, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was indeed the case.

Masumi Takamori suddenly thought of the unlucky sister who was killed by her elder sister, and said with emotion: "If I make a mistake, will you kill me?"

Naoko Torimaru: “Yes.”

Masumi Takamori: “?” Although I’ve known for a long time that you’re not a good person, but you’re still my teammate now, so you should at least pretend!

Torimaru Naoko sighed: "If it is my own will, I definitely don't want to kill you. But you can imagine that if you really make an intolerable mistake, that person will definitely wipe you out from the world, just like he mercilessly eliminated one person after another through the hands of the murderer."

As Takamori Masumi's increasingly horrified gaze appeared, Torimaru Naoko lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then began to judge Usa from Torimaru's perspective:

"He will definitely kill you by then, and according to his evil taste, if your twin sister dies, I will no longer have any value to live. So he will control me like before and make me kill you, so that we, the 'twins', can exert our last wave of value and stage the last heart-wrenching tragedy.

"Then we will be in the newspapers as the dead or the murderers. But since we already know so much, he will not leave us alive, but let us both die tragically before going to prison. The momentum of the report will probably be no less than this case in Hokkaido."

As she spoke, Torimaru Naoko couldn't help but clench her fists: "I thought I had escaped from the cage, but now I realize that I am still just a powerless bird, living in someone else's cage, like a pathetic toy for people to watch."

Takamori Masumi trembled: "I... Has our situation become so bad?"

Naoko Torimaru nodded heavily.

After hesitating for a long time, she suddenly stood up and looked around the room carefully.

Not finding any eavesdropping devices, she closed the curtains, came to Takamori Masumi, and whispered, "Do you want to do something big with me?"

Takamori Masumi suddenly raised his head and asked alertly: "What do you want to do?!"

Naoko Torimaru spoke in a very soft voice, as if she was talking in a dream: "We are still young now, but sooner or later we will grow old, and the appearance after plastic surgery may not last for too many years. People who raise canaries only like their beautiful figures and soft singing voices. Who would be willing to raise a pair of poor ugly birds that are too old to fly and have lost their feathers?"

Takamori Masumi vaguely understood what she meant: "You mean, it won't be long before that person gets tired of playing this twin game and turns us into the victims in his murder drama?"

Naoko Torimaru nodded: "Working for someone for no apparent reason, running around for years, and finally dying ugly when my youth is exhausted... This is definitely not the life I want."

Takamori Masumi imagined the scene and felt cold all over: "Indeed, this is not the life I want."

As a fellow beihua who had been threatened by scum, she guessed what Torimaru Naoko meant and lowered her voice: "You don't want to find 'that person' and kill him, do you?"

Naoko Torimaru: “Why not?”

She paused, perhaps because she felt that the chances were slim, and even her resistance might be controlled by the other party. She sighed and rubbed her forehead in a self-destructive manner: "I just don't want to die so unclearly - even if I will die in the next moment, I want to see his face clearly, I want to know who that person is."

Takamori Masumi was stunned for a moment, then belatedly realized what the problem was: "Yes, first of all, we don't even know who he is! How are we going to find him... Wait, given your cunningness, you should have thought of this before making this suggestion."

Naoko Torimaru nodded.

After a moment of silence, she finally made up her mind: "I want to force him out."

After all, Takamori Masumi was still a passionate young man. After being scolded by Torimaru Naoko, she was thinking about how to uncover the mystery of that person before she died. It is better to die in a blazing battle against the mastermind than to be drained of youth and then be published in the newspaper as a corpse.

Takamori Masumi's eyes turned serious: "What are you going to do?"

Naoko Torimaru: "Don't you think that Jiang Xia, as a high school student who is only one year older than you, has encountered too many cases?"

Takamori Masumi really didn't think so: "He is a detective. There are always cases that a detective won't encounter."

Naoko Torimaru shook her head: "Don't you think that the organization's description of 'that person' is a bit like 'Moriarty' after being magnified and distorted by rumors?"

Takamori Masumi nodded blankly.

Naoko Torimaru: "If I had Moriarty's talent and was doing the same thing as him, I would strangle all the 'Sherlock Holmes' in their cradles. But that person is different.

"He is so bold that he dares to let his rumors spread in the organization without worrying about being discovered. He dares to murder police officers openly and then leave safely. He dares to leave behind a series of carefully planned cases in front of the detectives... Such a person will never be afraid of his opponents. I'm afraid he will only worry about not having enough fun."

Takamori Masumi vaguely understood something: "You mean..."

Naoko Torimaru: "Jiang Xia, who can always solve his puzzles, is probably his favorite 'Sherlock Holmes' at the moment - as long as I appear next to Jiang Xia, 'that person' will definitely notice me, notice me, the 'actor' who tries to deviate from his script."
