"Ms. Shioya, I have a question. On which day after Mr. Robert left did Ms. Misa commit suicide?"
Hearing Takashi Sosuke's question, Shioya Miyuki did not answer immediately. Instead, she recalled for a moment before slowly speaking:
"...Well, it was probably three days after Rob went back. I don't know why Misa became depressed again after Rob returned. Then she suddenly disappeared. I thought she ran away from home to find Rob, but I never imagined that Misa committed suicide in a locked warehouse. Then a few days later, her mother hanged herself in the same place."
Fujiwara Yu held his chin and thought. It seemed that the main reason for Misa's suicide was three days after Robert left. Could it be that she committed suicide because Robert, the only person who could make her happy, returned home?
No, judging by Rob's behavior, the fact that he returned three years later meant he must have left a message before he left. Logically, Misa should have been looking forward to seeing Rob again, so how could she have committed suicide three days after he left?

"Ms. Shioya, after Misa and her mother passed away, did anyone behave strangely?" Hattori Heiji also couldn't figure out why the two committed suicide, so he had to ask about the situation at that time to see if there were any suspicious points.
Shioya Miyuki nodded vigorously. Before she answered, she glanced at the body still hanging there and whispered in a low voice:
"Actually, I found Mr. Shinichi's reaction very strange. He acted very indifferent at the funerals of Misa and Mrs. Kinuyo. He didn't even shed a tear. He was so indifferent, as if he was attending a stranger's funeral."
She obviously felt that it was inappropriate to say these words now that Mr. Xinyi was dead, so she lowered her voice.
"Anyone else behaving strangely?"
"Yes. Mr. Ryuji was very uncharacteristic at the funeral. He was much more emotional than Mr. Shinichi. If his wife, Mrs. Taiyoko, hadn't been there to comfort him, he would have probably fainted from crying. He was truly heartbroken." Shioya Miyuki paused, then added, "And Sae and Emmi. They used to love Robert, but when they came home to visit their family two years ago, they started saying very strange things... saying that Robert had killed Misa."
"Rober killed Misa? Didn't Robert go back a long time ago? How could he kill her?" Hattori Heiji expressed his incomprehension. These two little brats couldn't possibly slander others for no reason. There must be a reason.
"They said this after talking to Mr. Negishi. I don't know what Mr. Negishi said, but I don't think Robert would have killed Misa. He was very kind to her!"
Hattori Heiji naturally wouldn't believe it. He had just accompanied Kazuha to see the starry sky and happened to see Robert crying with the photo in his hand. It was obvious... Robert liked Misa, otherwise how could he carry the photo with him?
"Well, thank you for providing this information. It's getting late, Miss Shioya, please go back and rest."
"Okay, you two better do your best."
As soon as Shioya Miyuki left, the business smile on Fujiwara Yu's face disappeared instantly. He couldn't smile at all now. It was because he had no idea of finding the murderer until now, and he couldn't even figure out how the murderer created the secret room.
Because judging from the situation at the scene, the only person who could lock the door was the victim, Shinichi Takeda, but how could the victim listen to the murderer and lock the door?
Ah... Damn it, I don't understand at all!
"Brother Takashi, are you confused too?" Hattori Heiji saw Brother Takashi rubbing his hair constantly. This was the first time he saw him do such a gesture.
"Yeah, I don't understand it at all." Fujiwara Yu walked downstairs with his hands in his pockets. He said puzzledly, "Judging from the time of the crime, the only person who could have committed the crime is Takeda Ryuji. But the risk of him committing the crime is too great. Only if Mrs. Yoko was an accomplice could he have pulled off this series of operations."
Hattori Heiji couldn't help but stop and tilted his head in confusion:
"Huh? Brother Yingsi, why did you forget Mr. Yongsan? He is also a potential murderer."
"Oh, that guy was really drunk. I... I tested him and I'm sure he wasn't acting."
Fujiwara Yuu almost said "I have tried using the CIA lie detector method", but fortunately he braked in time, otherwise it would have been terrible if this sharp-eyed boy had discovered something.
"So that's what's going on. For now, let's focus on the most suspicious person, Mr. Ryuji. He must have some hidden secret. I really don't understand why he cried the most at the funeral. It's like he and Mr. Shinichi had a soul swap."
Soul swap?
Fujiwara Yuu's mind flashed quickly back to what Shioya Miyuki had said. It seemed as if he had missed a key clue. He turned to look at Hattori Heiji, a hint of eccentricity in his tone:
"Hey, Hattori, I think I know why they look like they've swapped souls."
"Really?"
"Hmm...you mentioned soul swapping, and I just remembered it. Didn't Ms. Shioya just say that? Mr. Shinichi was furious with Ms. Kinuyo after he came back from the hospital, and he even said one crucial line: 'You've deceived him for twenty years.'"
Hattori Heiji, who was shielding his hair from the rain with his hands, didn't react for a moment. When he finally did, his mouth could fit three eggs. He widened his eyes in disbelief.
