The blaring sound of police sirens filled the Gyokuryuji Temple, which should have been quiet. Ayanokouji Fumimaro, who arrived late, led the Kyoto Prefectural Police to detain all relevant personnel at the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters.
But with the intervention of the Metropolitan Police Department's public security police, Fujiwara Yu successfully obtained the qualification to interrogate the two main culprits. He wanted to find out who was the mastermind behind the incident, and he wanted to know whether the murder case ten years ago was related to them.
In order to prevent the Kyoto Prefectural Police from entering the interrogation room without permission, Kazami Yuya, who was arranged by Kuroda Heibei, blocked the door of the interrogation room. This not only prevented irrelevant personnel from entering, but also ensured that Fujiwara Yu's true identity would not be exposed.
Nishijo Taiga sat in the interrogation room with his head hung in silence. The man next to him was a short-haired man who looked exactly like him. He also didn't speak, but from his expression it was not difficult to tell that he was relatively calm.
On the other hand, Nishijo Daiga seemed a little nervous, his eyes drifting towards the door from time to time, as if he was worried about something.
Fujiwara Yuu, who had noticed these subtle movements, already knew who the breakthrough point was. He leaned back in his chair, adjusted himself to a comfortable sitting position, tapped his knees with his fingers, and asked:
"Aren't you two going to say anything? If you don't want to talk about the case, why don't you talk about why you didn't kill me? I had no chance to fight back at that time, so why didn't you finish me off?"
"You have so many questions." The mysterious man chuckled, and it was obvious that he didn't want to answer.
Nishijo Taiga glanced at the person next to him, then pursed his lips and remained silent. It was obvious that he wanted to say something, but was blocked by the mysterious man's words.
Fujiwara Yu raised his eyebrows, but was not angry at the other party's answer. Instead, his tone was very calm:
"Then answer a question. Can you tell me your name?"
"Nishijo Daisuke, I'm his older brother." Nishijo Daisuke didn't intend to hide his name. He crossed his legs and looked at Takagi Sosuke in front of him. As if remembering something, he unexpectedly began to explain his crime: "My brother and I were both members of the bandit group Genji Hotaru, sharing the name Benkei. In order to seize the Buddha statue and the treasure hidden by the leader, we killed the leader, Yoshitsune, ten years ago."
Ten years ago? If I remember correctly, the Buddha statue was stolen eight years ago.
Fujiwara Yuu lowered his crossed legs, frowned, and asked:
"You've been playing the role of 'Yoshitsune' since ten years ago?"
"That's right. Those idiots didn't even realize the leader had been replaced. The Buddha statue was hidden by that guy Sakura Masao. He guessed that I had killed the leader, so he pretended to be ignorant. He wanted to use the police to get rid of me without revealing his identity."
Sakura Masazō didn't know that Nishijo Taiga and Nishijo Daisuke were two different people, so the person who was rummaging through things in the teahouse was not Sakura Masazō, but Nishijo Daisuke who wanted to find the answer to the mystery.
Fujiwara no Yu couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. These three people all wanted to take the Buddha statue for themselves, but in the end no one got what they wanted, and the complete Buddha statue was returned to Sannoji Temple.
It really proves the old saying that you lose more than you gain.
Fujiwara Yu flexed his wrists, then stood up and placed his hands on the table. He stared down at Saijo Daiyong and asked in a cold voice:
"Where did you kill Yoshitsune ten years ago? Was it under the bridge of the Tsutsumi River?"
Saijo Daiyong was stunned when he heard this. He knew that no one around saw him kill Yoshitsune. No, a little girl did see him throw the body away.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Takashi Sosuke's appearance. After confirming that he had nothing to do with the little girl, he asked:
"How did you know? Are you related to that unfortunate little girl?"
"It turned out to be you who killed her. With so many lives on your shoulders, it seems you can't escape the death penalty." Fujiwara Yu had no obligation to answer. He ignored Saijo Daisuke's questions and sat back in his chair.
Being ignored, Saijo Daisuke felt a little depressed. He thought of the question that Takagi Sosuke had asked him at the beginning. He raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a meaningful smile:
"Sousuke Takashi, do you remember your original question? Don't you want to know why we didn't kill you?"
Upon hearing this, Nishijo Taiga slammed his handcuffed hands down on the table, signaling with his eyes for Nishijo Dayong to shut up. His body trembled slightly, knowing that some words could not be spoken. Saying them would be like opening Pandora's box, and there would be consequences.
"Will you answer if I ask you?"
"Takashi Sosuke, you're a smart person. I think you'll know if I just say a word."
"What?"
Saijo Daisuke raised the corner of his mouth. He was very satisfied with the uncontrollable urgency in Takashi Sosuke's tone, but this time he chose not to keep him in suspense. Instead, he said those two words honestly:
"dolphin."
dolphin?
When a normal person hears this word, the first reaction would be aquarium, but in Fujiwara Yu's mind, the most profound impression of the word "dolphin" is not the aquarium or the ocean - it is the man who died in the interrogation room.
Kimiki Yamada.
Dolphin images frequently appeared in cases involving him.
So, the Saijo brothers are related to Yamada Kimi, and may even belong to a mysterious organization?
Saijo Taiga didn't expect that he would actually tell the truth. He raised his voice and shouted:
"Brother! Are you crazy?! Do you think we can survive after hearing something like this? That guy will definitely do everything he can to get rid of us, just like he did with the dolphins!"
