Jiuqi Ritsuko remained silent. Seeing this, Yakushiji didn't care. He put the photo in his pocket and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Where's the money?"
Upon hearing this, Kuki Ritsuko looked at Yakushiji with an expressionless face, and then threw the bag in her hand directly over.
But because the bag was very heavy, Ritsuko Kuki didn't throw it very far, and the bag fell between the two of them.
Yakushiji was not angry when he saw this. After all, he had threatened the other party to bring him money, so he naturally could not force the other party to be nice to him.
Yakushiji stood up from the ground, even jumping back and forth a bit, then he stood firmly, walked to the handbag, squatted down and prepared to count the money.
It can be seen that even though Yakushiji is wanted by the police, it still does not feel any pressure.
Perhaps in his view, being wanted is not a big deal. Instead, he will be able to leave the country with a large sum of money.
But Yakushiji didn't notice at all that Shikain had approached him at some point.
Yakushiji unzipped and opened his handbag, but the imagined scene of a bag full of money did not appear.
In the bag were stacks of old books.
Yakushiji reached into his bag and was about to take something out and turn around to question Ritsuko Kuki, but the next moment he felt a lightness on his waist.
When he turned his head to look in the direction where Ritsuko Kuki was standing, he found that the black muzzle of a gun was pointed at him.
"Let everything end." Kuki Ritsuko looked at Yakushiji and said calmly.
"You want to kill me?" A look of realization appeared on Yakushiji's face. "So, you killed Kyouta too, right? I should have thought of that earlier."
"That's what you think." Jiuqi Ritsuko pressed the trigger with her index finger. "Any last words?"
"Heh...last words?" Yakushiji's eyes changed and finally became blurry: "If only I hadn't met that guy back then, it would have been better."
“There are no ‘ifs’, only ‘musts’.”
Jiuqi Ritsuko spoke calmly and even took a step back to create distance, to prevent the other party from taking the gun while she was distracted. "Small tricks will not work on me. Enough of this, let's get on the road."
Seeing the other party's vigilant movements, Yakushiji's face was extremely ugly: "You bitch..."
Obviously, seeing that Hisaki Ritsuko saw through his plan and missed the last chance to turn the tables, Yakushiji was facing the threat of death and could no longer hide his true self.
But Ritsuko Kuki did not retort, but pulled the trigger again.
Yakushiji's face was pale and trembling, his eyes filled with cruelty and unwillingness. It was obvious that under the terrifying threat of life and death, he was on the verge of collapse.
"Don't move!"
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and the alert Kuki Ritsuko immediately pulled Yakushiji over and stood behind him, pointing a gun at his back.
By the time Karasawa and Nanatsuki Koshimizu ran down the stairs and arrived at this open space near the sea, Ritsuko Kuki had already hidden behind Yakushiji.
Seeing this, Tang Ze couldn't help but frowned secretly, but he also raised the [Detective] in his hand and aimed it in the direction of Yakushiji.
They had just seen two people in the distance and were about to rush over to arrest them, but they didn't expect that such a sudden change would happen in just a few tens of seconds of travel time.
It’s a pity that Hisaki Ritsuko hid behind Yakushiji. The other party was a criminal and naturally knew how to avoid danger, and Yakushiji’s tall body completely blocked her behind him.
"Put down the gun!"
Although I really want to arrest the two people immediately, in this situation, we can only negotiate first.
"No need to talk nonsense."
Hiding behind Yakushiji, Hisaki Ritsuko said, “Since the day I ran away, I haven’t thought about the future.
And since you're here, Criminal Tang Ze, I'm afraid the main force is right behind us. There's no point in saying more."
"Wait!! It's no use for you to kill Yakushiji anymore!"
Hearing the other party's words that sounded like a declaration, Tang Ze knew that something bad was going to happen. The other party's current mentality was obviously to kill Yakushiji, so he quickly said, "I already know your secret!"
"What do you mean?" Although Kuki Ritsuko's tone remained calm, Tang Ze and the others could still hear the fluctuation in it.
"It's like, literally, I know all the truth."
Seeing that the other party was interested in communicating, Tang Ze went straight to the point and said, "Actually, all you did was to protect Inspector Kakuta, right?
I have investigated the relationship between the four of you, and also found a skeleton on the Xixinle Plateau.
"Through the cooperation of the Nishi-Shigaraki Criminal Investigation Department, we have confirmed that the remains are those of Kato Takanori, who disappeared as a child."
"I didn't expect that you would investigate this far." Yakushiji said in a complicated tone, and although Kuki Ritsuko's face could not be seen, she probably had a similar expression.
"Can you tell me now what exactly happened 18 years ago?" Tang Ze asked in a deep voice.
“That summer, I was really happy…”
The voice of Ritsuko Kuki came from behind Yakushiji, and Yakushiji's face was also filled with memories and sighs.
18 years ago, the four of them attended a summer camp in Xixinle Plateau, where they met and became good friends.
Set up tents together, fish together, eat together, and go hiking together.
During that process, Ritsuko Kuki fell in love with Inspector Michida, and the young boy who was just beginning to fall in love knew for the first time what it felt like to fall in love with someone.
If everything goes well, perhaps the two will leave their contact information after the summer camp, and they may become closer and closer in the future, or they may just stop contacting each other.
