Kamijou family.
After the hearing, Naoki Kamii returned to his apartment in a daze.
Such a big thing happened, so he naturally knew about it, and he also knew that Detective Tang Ze was investigating his case.
Logically, he should have cheered up and tried his best.
After all, it was he who caused the trouble and he was the one who had to bear the punishment, so he naturally had to do everything he could to investigate the matter and exonerate himself.
But he couldn't do it.
Because as soon as he closed his eyes, the scene of Takeda Chohei committing suicide by jumping off the building would appear in his mind.
The scene at that time kept circling in his mind, making it impossible for him to calm down and do other things.
The huge sense of guilt and remorse continued to interpret his heart and also suppressed his steps, making him unable to even muster the courage to leave home and investigate the deceased who was forced into a desperate situation by him.
At this moment, he just wanted to numb himself with alcohol, and he did so. After drinking glass after glass of red wine, his brain was soon anesthetized by alcohol, and he seemed to have given up thinking and pain.
But it was not enough, Naoki Kamii wanted to continue drinking, so he continued to pour wine into the glass, wanting to get drunk and lose consciousness.
But before Naoki Kamii could continue pouring the wine, his phone suddenly rang.
After seeing the caller, Naoki Kamii instantly perked up and suppressed his drunkenness to talk to Tang Ze.
Listening to what Tang Ze had investigated today, a warm feeling flashed through Naoki Kamii's chest.
His mind was a little confused after drinking, and he just blindly agreed with Tang Ze's words.
In the end, Detective Tang Ze didn't know whether he heard something wrong in his tone or something else, but after talking to him, he specially sent him the results of his investigation and his guesses via text message.
Looking at the short and powerful message in the text message, Naoki Kamii's eyes turned slightly red.
He put down the wine glass in his hand, made himself some instant noodles, and after eating, he went straight to the bed.
It was already very late today and he had been drinking, so it was naturally impossible for him to go out and do anything.
He had originally planned to drink until he blacked out and continue his drunken streak tomorrow when he woke up.
But Tang Ze's call woke him up like a stick, and he kept telling himself that it was not time to give up.
Mumbling these words in his mind, Naoki Kamii gradually fell asleep under the influence of alcohol.
The next morning, Naoki Kamii shaved, ate breakfast brought by his girlfriend who was worried about him, and drove out.
But after he drove out, he did not rush to investigate the case. Instead, he bought a bouquet of flowers and went to a temple in the suburbs.
Most of the graves of Neon are behind the temple, so Naoki Kamii came here not to become a monk, but to pay homage to Takeda Jōhei.
It had been two or three days since the man's death. He was an orphan with no relatives. After the body was returned after the autopsy, his friends performed a ritual for Takeda Tsunehei with the help of the police and buried him early.
Naoki Kamii placed the white flower in his hand in front of the grave and looked at the tombstone with a complicated expression on his face.
He clasped his hands together and mourned sincerely.
"that..."
Suddenly, a female voice sounded behind him. Naoki Kamii opened his eyes and looked back, and found a young girl standing behind him.
The other person was wearing a yellow cotton jacket, holding flowers in one hand and a small bucket in the other.
"Are you here to visit Mr. Takeda's grave?" The girl asked curiously when she saw Naoki Kamii looking back.
"Ah...Are you a relative of Mr. Takeda?"
As the indirect or even direct culprit who caused the death of Takeda Tsuyoshi, Naoki Kamii looked very restrained when facing the people related to the death.
"I'm his friend?" The girl answered Naoki Kamii's question and then looked at him and asked, "What about you?"
"Ah, I'm his friend too." Naoki Kamii looked at the tombstone and said with some guilt.
The girl didn't say anything more after hearing this, but came to the tombstone and placed the flowers and offerings in her hand in front of the grave.
After Naoki Kamii and the girl placed the offerings in silence, they took the incense brought by the other and lit it to worship, and then left together.
"You said before that you were Takeda-kun's friend, but why haven't I seen you before?" After leaving Takeda's tombstone, the girl looked at Uei Naoki and asked, "Where did you meet?"
"We met at a motorcycle shop. We were about the same age and had the same interests, so we naturally became friends."
Naoki Kamii has been a criminal for so long, and he works in a department that often deals with yakuza and cunning criminal gangs, so naturally he has become much more meticulous and mature.
So he had predicted that the other party might ask questions, so he found a reasonable excuse based on his previous contact with the deceased.
"So that's how it is." The girl nodded in realization after hearing what Naoki Kamii said, and it seemed as if she believed him.
"What about you?" Naoki Kamii wanted to know more about Takeda, so after answering the question, he asked, "Where did you two meet?"
"About a year ago, at Super Mom's," the girl began.
"It's Clear Sky Garden."
After hearing what Naoki Kamii said, the girl casually explained, "It's a rescue station for adults.
Many adult orphans who are having a hard time, or who have nowhere else to turn because of their families, go there to seek help.”
"You mean Clear Sky Garden?"
But after hearing the girl mention this name, Naoki Kamii's pupils unconsciously began to shrink violently into pinholes.
