"You said you were rude to your girlfriend. How did you behave?"
"..." He said nothing.
"If you don't say it, people will just imagine it."
"It's not like that. It's just a handshake, which is not very gentlemanly. But the other person is not a waitress in a nightclub, so even if it's just this, it's inexcusable."
"Who is that woman?"
"There's no need to say this." He said loudly, and his expression was startled when he realized that the next room would hear him.
"I don't want to force you to tell me. But, you will know sooner or later."
Tian Chunda's eyes seemed to be sarcastic and he smiled.
"Okay, even if that's the case, you hit Kuwahara twice. Even though the other person was beaten, he still couldn't listen to you, so you became impatient and gradually became angry, and finally ended Kuwahara's life... Is it okay to think about it this way? "
"But, Mr. Police Officer, I did not kill the person. I have never been to that kind of mountain. The most important thing is, as you can see, my impatient character will not take people calmly." Go to a place like that. It’s not so much that you can’t, but that you can’t do it. If you want to kill him, just kill him on the spot.”
"Maybe it's like this, maybe it's not like this." Tian Chunda's eyes smiled again.
"By the way, I would like to ask you about your whereabouts at the time of the incident." Tian Chunda asked again.
The time of the murder was estimated from the day the body was found, which was estimated to be about a week ago. Although most people support the view that the deceased was killed at night when he returned to Nanguang, the criminal investigation detachment added a one-day error range to thoroughly investigate the alibi on the night of the 27th and the whole day of the 28th as the search target.
"...Hmm" Wu Cheng seemed unsure.
"The time was Thursday and Friday last week." Tian Chunda reminded.
"... Even if you say so, I can't remember it for a moment. If it's Sunday or Saturday night, it's easier for me to remember it, but I have no memory of things on weekdays. Because it's the same thing every day. matter."
It was as if he was talking about other people's affairs, and Tian Chunda was a little unhappy.
"Can you answer more seriously? The current situation is very unfavorable for you. If you don't have an alibi, you will be looked at differently."
"Even if you say so, it means no." His voice became louder again, and then he held his breath as if he suddenly realized it.
"Mr. Detective, are you asking this too hard? I was working during the day, so I have an alibi. I live alone in the apartment at night, so I can't give you a satisfactory answer."
"Okay, okay, think about it carefully, such as playing cards with your neighbors -"
"Do you think I stayed up all night? I have work tomorrow."
He twisted his mouth as if the question was stupid.
"I have no contact with the people in the apartment. So my alibi is gone without thinking about it. Even if you don't remind me, I know what my situation has become. But, apart from answering the questions you don't have, there is nothing , is there any other way I can do?"
"But, from the beginning, you..."
Tian Chunda said with the intention of calming down his anger. But Wu Cheng didn't even want to hear it.
"Don't waste your efforts. I can't give you a satisfactory answer. Sometimes I go to the movies alone, and sometimes I go shopping in department stores. If you say I'm lying, that I actually use that time to kill Kuwahara, then I can’t refute it.”
As Wu Cheng said this, he turned his eyes to the side and stared at the wall with depressed eyes.

After Tian Chunda left the bank, he went to visit Shi Yu's family. Sang Yuan was very interested in Shi Yu's death, and Tian Chunda wanted to inquire about it from Shi Yu's family members.
Taking the subway to Shi Yu's home, Tian Chunda sat in the carriage and thought, why did Shi Yu go out to the crater to seek death? Aren’t there a lot of places to die near Nanguang?
There are other confusing points: when young women commit suicide, they normally hope that they will still be beautiful after death. Shi Yu neither chooses to take sleeping pills nor instantaneous poisons, so why would she choose to burn herself? What about his death? There must be some hidden reason. Moreover, Kuwahara also became suspicious of this, so he went to investigate the matter. It can be speculated that this was the handle he had to blackmail people.
What is it that drives Shi Yu to a dead end?
When Shi Yu's house arrived, as soon as he rang the doorbell, the door opened, and a thin old woman who must be Shi Yu's mother came out to answer the door. She was well-dressed, and her white hair was tied up very smoothly, giving her an elegant look.
After Tian Chunda showed the old woman her police ID, he asked her about the circumstances surrounding Shi Yu's death.
"We don't understand this at all." The old woman muttered.
"She is getting married. The other party and my daughter like each other, and the wedding ceremony will be held in October this year. Shi Yu is also counting on her fingers and looking forward to the arrival of that day. She will suddenly go on a trip and go out casually, and then there will be news I heard the news that she committed suicide in the crater of the volcano. It is more unbelievable than crying. This is really strange..."
A young woman brought tea over, and Tian Chunda nodded in thanks. The woman's face is petite and upright, and her forehead is very broad, giving people a very sensible impression. If she was the sister of the deceased, then the deceased Shi Yu should also be a beauty.
"Has she ever had a fight with her fiancé?"
"No." The old woman looked like it was impossible, and immediately shook her head.
"The other party has a good character, he is very straightforward and manly, and there is absolutely no way he would do anything to make Shi Yu sad."
Tian Chunda nodded as if he understood, but felt that he couldn't believe it so easily. Since there was no motive for her to commit suicide on her parents' side, there must be something fishy on her fiancé's side.
"Did she have a suicide note?"
"No."
"Have you ever seen her get flustered or lament before she left home?"
"No. Although we have thought about many possibilities, we haven't seen any signs of that..."
"By the way, there is a man named Kuwahara. He is very interested in Ling Qianjin's suicide. Do you know him?"
"I don't know." The elderly mother seemed to be puzzled as to why she suddenly changed the subject, with a surprised expression. The young girl nodded slightly, stood up and left.
"Don't you recognize him?"
"Yes, I don't know him at all..."
After Tian Chunda asked all the questions he wanted to ask, he left Shi Yu's house. As soon as I went out into the bright and dazzling sunshine, I felt relieved.
The girl who brought tea just now also went out and walked towards Tian Chunda.
"Mr. Police Officer, I have something to tell you." The girl said.
Tian Chunda stopped.
"My name is Shi Huan. I know my sister's motive for seeking death, and I have also met the man named Sang Yuan. Was Sang Yuan killed? I saw the news in the morning newspaper..."
Shi Huan finished speaking in one breath. The dark purple clothing made her fair face even fairer.
"Yes, he was killed. I went to his office and tried to search, and found that there were many news reports about your sister's death. Kuwahara should have used this as capital to blackmail someone. About your sister There must be some secret involved in committing suicide, right? If we know this secret, the person who was blackmailed by Kuwabara and the person who killed Kuwabara to eliminate the cause of the disaster, their true identities will be revealed. That’s what I think, so I came here visit."
Shi Huan led Tian Chunta into a nearby small park and sat down on a bench.
Shi Huan whispered to Tian Chunda: "After we took back my deceased sister's belongings and returned home, we were extremely sad and as weak as a patient. After about three weeks, I felt that I finally calmed down, so I went to sort out my sister's belongings. Then I found a letter to me in her diary."
Tian Chunda nodded and urged her to continue.
"I have always thought that my sister and I had a very good relationship, and it was impossible for her to die without saying anything to me. To put it simply from the beginning, when my sister and her fiancé, Mr. Wu Cheng, first started dating, there was a sign on her chest. She had breast pads installed, but Mr. Wu Cheng thought they were her real breasts, so he confessed to his sister that if she were not a woman with big breasts, he would not feel attractive, so he used this to woo his sister. He fell in love with Mr. Wu Cheng My sister couldn’t use breast pads anymore, so she went to a plastic surgeon for consultation. The doctor suggested that she just need to inject silicone gel to make her breasts bigger easily, so my sister had the surgery on the spot.”
