"Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me straighten it out first..."
In the quiet ward, Miss Miyano couldn't help but interrupt the old woman's self-narration, rubbing her eyebrows, as if she had a headache:
"The spy that Karasuma Renya planted in the Ogawa family was actually you, not Akutagawa Fuuna?"
"That's right."
The old woman had a blank expression on her face, as if she had already prepared herself:
"What happened between Yoshio and Funa was just an accident. It caught no one by surprise."
"Then why did you accept her? How can you continue your mission with her around?"
"Because Yoshio's favorite person is Funa, he and I shouldn't have been married."
"oh...."
Miss Miyano understood a little:
"You let Akutagawa Funa join the Ogawa family purely because you felt guilty towards Ogawa Yoshio?"
"If Yi Nan knew that I was the one who killed his grandfather, he would be in great pain..."
The old woman sighed and looked at Sakaki Makoto who was standing by the window:
"When did you guess my identity?"
"Since your grandson told us that story."
Sakaki Makoto said without comment:
"His words are very suggestive. Most people may not be able to hear them, but for people who specialize in psychology, it is very uncomfortable."
"He wanted us to doubt Akutagawa Fuuna so badly, and that's what gave him away."
Ogawa Seiji had an ugly look on his face and gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that the smoke screen he used to mislead others would eventually become his own flaw.
Even the wisest man makes a thousand plans, but he is bound to make mistakes.
When Makoto Sakaki set his eyes on the old woman, many things naturally made sense. He also discovered some irrational actions that Ogawa Seiji had done before, and thus deduced the identity of the murderer.
After the identity of the criminal was determined, the next thing was easy.
Sakaki Makoto went through a lot of twists and turns, his goal was to get Ogawa Seiji in the end, but his target was not Ogawa Seiji, but the old woman.
"The only thing that puzzles me is why you let Ogawa Chengzhi assassinate Ogawa Yoshio instead of you?"
Sakaki Makoto looked at the old woman strangely:
“This should be your job.”
"I didn't instruct Cheng Zhi!"
The old woman's hair stood on end with rage, and her hoarse voice was like a door that had been in disrepair for a long time:
"I would have killed Yoshio a long time ago if I wanted to, and you wouldn't have been able to see him at all! From the beginning, I had no intention of following Karasuma Renya's orders!"
"Why? Aren't you afraid that Karasuma Renya will purge you, the traitor?"
"Traitor? I regret being a traitor!"
Using all her strength, the old woman grabbed her cane, pounded on the floor tiles, and roared:
"This is my home! How can I continue to obey his orders if Karasuma Renya wants to take it away from me!"
"But your grandson took action."
"Yes, Cheng Zhi took action..."
The old woman fell back into her chair, her face as pale as paper:
"I didn't know his plan, and I didn't expect that he would assassinate Yi Nan in order to protect me..."
Only if Ogawa Yoshio died would Karasuma Renya not attack the old woman. This is a foregone conclusion and there is no doubt about it.
"You deserve praise for standing up to protect grandma, but it is not right for you to kill grandpa in order to protect grandma."
Miss Miyano stared at Ogawa Chengzhi who looked down indifferently and said:
"Your grandma is a relative, but your grandpa is not a relative, right?"
"I...."
Ogawa Chengzhi was choked up for a moment:
"I just can't stand Grandpa's behavior. He secretly cared about Akutagawa Funado behind my grandma's back, and sometimes even ignored my grandma's thoughts. You know, my grandma is his legal wife!"
"Besides, I don't want grandma to be soft-hearted and give up on assassinating Ogawa Yoshio, which will eventually lead to our family being destroyed by Karasuma Renya."
"Where did you hear about Karasuma Renya?"
Sakaki Makoto keenly noticed that Ogawa Seiji seemed to know a lot of inside information, and asked:
"Could it be that Karasuma Renye has contacted you?"
"No...."
Shaking his head, Ogawa Chengzhi explained:
"I heard about Karasuma Renya from my grandparents' conversation when I was a kid. My grandfather's disappearance caused a big stir in the family. My father also investigated it carefully. Although he didn't find Karasuma Renya, he knew that my grandfather disappeared because of some things that happened back then."
"As for the fact that my grandmother was a spy planted by Karasuma Renya into the family, it was told to me by a young man who came to my house 20 years ago."
His eyelids twitched, and Sakaki Makoto dropped his gaze, his eyes becoming serious:
"Who is this person?"
"Grandpa said in the afternoon that the man is your father."
Ogawa Chengzhi hesitated for a moment:
"To be exact, I was only 13 years old at that time. Your father suddenly came to visit and had a long conversation with my grandfather for the whole afternoon. He left in the evening. Before he left, I quietly chased him and asked him what he talked about with my grandfather. It was purely out of childish curiosity. Normally, I should not have paid attention to it, but your father was different from others. He knew that my grandmother was the traitor in the family, but he did not point it out to my grandfather. He just told me secretly and said... and said..."
"What else?"
"He also said that if nothing unexpected happens, this secret will be hidden forever. But if something unexpected happens, someone will come looking for it many years later. When that happens, he must let me protect my grandma."
I see!
Sakaki Makoto's cheek twitched slightly, and he suddenly realized.
