There is a chess game in the hotel room where Taku Itakura lives.
The black and white pieces were placed in the four corners, which struck Fujiwara Yu as odd. If it were Gobang, Black would have five connected pieces by now. Why hadn't the winner been decided yet?
Even if it's not Gobang, but Go... White has obviously lost, and there are still some surrounded White pieces that haven't been taken out. There's definitely something wrong with this game.
Yi Dahang held his chin in his hand and thought for a while, then asked:
"Fujiwara, do you think this could be a death message left behind by the victim? What do you think about trying to separate the white and black pieces?"
"You can give it a try. Although I don't play chess very often, I still understand the rules."
After the two men took out the police manual and wrote down the white and black pieces respectively, they became even more confused.
There is no way to piece together these contents into Japanese, numbers, or English.
Just as Fujiwara Yu was about to go elsewhere to look for clues, Date Ko suddenly slapped his head excitedly and suddenly realized:
"It's Braille input method. Wait a minute, let me search for the corresponding word!"
"Braille input method?"
It was the first time that Fujiwara Yu had heard of such an input method. He took out his mobile phone and searched it, and indeed, for every word that the black fan had put together, he could find the corresponding Japanese word.
The murderer is...
Just by spelling out the first few words, the two realized that their previous guess was correct. This was the message of death.
[The murderer is Soma, and the evidence is his watch.]
Horse-viewing?
This surname is totally unheard of, and the fact that Itakura Taku could leave such a death message should not be done by someone in the organization. It seems that he was just unlucky and was killed by others before he could make the software that the organization wanted to use.
Fujiwara Yu patted Date Kou's shoulder and said:
"Captain, the next thing is up to you. Investigate the person with the same last name as Itakura Taku. We should be able to identify the suspect quickly."
"Well, leave it to me, but what are you going to do?"
Fujiwara Yu took out the floppy disk from his shoulder bag and said with a slight smile:
"Of course I'm going to see the person who wants the floppy disk. I didn't expect Mr. Itakura to be so nostalgic. Not many people still use floppy disks these days. Squad leader, you go ahead and do your work. I'll just take a look at the contents and then leave."
"Well, remember to wear gloves, and don't leave your fingerprints, which will cause unnecessary trouble."
"I know. After all, I'm an outstanding student who graduated from a professional police academy, right?"
"How dare you say that when you graduated from police academy and didn't want to be a policeman?" Date Ko rolled his eyes. Although he could understand that Fujiwara Yu had his own difficulties, he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about his best friend from the same period becoming a CIA agent.
藤原侑讪讪一笑，也不知道未来公开自己的真实身份，会不会被班长等人胖揍一顿。他重新佩戴好手套，把软盘塞进了板仓卓的电脑里面。
Ever since Itakura Taku changed his computer, he has not been able to see the subsequent diary contents. He must confirm the time when he negotiated with the organization. With a little use, he can successfully meet that guy.
Gin, the Twin Towers made me so embarrassed... It's time to give you a surprise.
Fujiwara Yu was a little confused when he saw the date in the diary. He looked towards the lower right corner and found that today was February 14th. Damn, when he looked at the calendar two days ago, it was still May, how come it suddenly reversed to February.
No wonder I felt a little cold when I went out today. It would be strange if it wasn’t cold in February when it snows.
【February 9th. 】
The deadline they gave me was approaching, and I hid the unfinished software and the check they had given me in advance in the computer in the rented villa.
I plan to flee abroad and live a secluded life.
I knew full well they would email me in a few days to specify the time and location for the software delivery, but that was five days from now at midnight.
[Before that, I must find a way to go abroad.]
Otherwise they will kill you.
After reading the diary, Fujiwara Yuu realized that today was the day the software was to be delivered. He didn't care about anything else, took the floppy disk containing the diary, and rushed to Gunma Prefecture.
Previously, Morobushi Kagemitsu had told him that the villa that Itakura Takuhin rented was located halfway up a mountain in Gunma Prefecture, making it very difficult to drive there. Therefore, every time he went to tamper with his villa, he would have to walk a long distance to ensure that the traces left behind were minimal.
When he took the elevator to the first floor of the hotel, the elevator door slowly opened and he saw a familiar face. Wasn't it Maori Kogoro? How did he come to the hotel?
"Brother Yingsi?"
Fujiwara Yuu couldn't help but frown. He lowered his head and looked over, and it was indeed Kudo.
So among the three people behind them, could there be someone called Soma?
Maori Kogoro did not expect that Takashi Sosuke would appear here. He had a bad feeling in his heart and asked hurriedly:
"Mr. Yingsi, you are here...could it be?"
"Are you here to look for Mr. Itakura? He's dead, and the murderer has been found."
"Hey? The murderer has been found?"
Fujiwara Yuu noticed a subtle change in the expression of one of the men, and was certain he was the "Sōma" mentioned in the death message. He immediately took out the handcuffs from behind his waist and said with a smile:
"Mr. Soma, could you please raise your right hand? I'd like to see your watch."
