A shrill scream echoed in the Maeda Mansion.
Shuji Tsushima: It’s so noisy.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the bodies lying in a puddle at his feet.
Really, no matter how beautiful a lady is, after jumping like this, she has nothing to do with her beauty.
"Tsushima-kun?" Amuro reminded from the side.
It's hard to deal with it when you don't respond at all.
"...Shuji?" Maeda and his son, who hurriedly ran down, also shouted not far away.
The young man stood next to a pool of blood, his body was spattered with blood, the white bandage on his face was stained red with blood, and he was holding a white rose dripping with blood in his hand.
Hearing their calls, he looked up with a blank and melancholy expression.
It was Mrs. Maeda who died...
She is my...father's sister...
Relatives meeting for the first time...
The young man raised his head and looked around at the people around him, then looked down at the body at his feet.
As if he had just realized that the dead person was his relative, he fell down weakly and was caught by Toru Amuro, who was already prepared.
Shuji Tsushima: The reception was accurate. /applaud
I don't want to fall on top of a dirty corpse.
Not even the body of the beautiful lady.
He silently gave Toru Amuro a thumbs up.
He was forcefully pushed back by the other party.
"People who faint don't give thumbs up, Tsushima-kun." Toru Amuro looked anxious and worried. It looked like he was lowering his head to check the boy's breathing, but in fact he whispered in his ear.
Shuji Tsushima: You are still the professional.
The white rose in the boy's hand fell into the middle of the pool of blood.
"I'm sorry, can I take Tsushima-kun into the house? I'm afraid his body won't be able to bear it when he's lying on the ground like this." After checking the youth team's breathing, Amuro Toru raised his head and said worriedly.
After getting a positive answer, he immediately picked the person up.
Tsujima Shuji, who was bumped in the stomach by Toru Amuro's shoulder: Ha.
The Maeda family voluntarily protected the crime scene.
and called the police.
Maeda and his son were also sitting on the sofa in the living room. The middle-aged man looked panic-stricken, while the young man remained calm and collected.
"I don't know what's going on...I don't know..." Mr. Maeda clenched his hands into fists.
"Calm down, father." Maeda Ritsuya reminded calmly.
"As the backbone of the family, your current behavior is too rude." He said without mercy.
As if the corpse outside was an insignificant person.
"...You are right..." Mr. Maeda took a deep breath and calmed down.
"How is Shuji? Are you okay?" He asked Toru Amuro worriedly.
Toru Amuro glanced at the peaceful young man sleeping on the sofa and was silent for a moment.
He nodded, then shook his head.
"I'm afraid witnessing the death of his relatives is still too heavy for him." He said deeply.
Mr. Maeda nodded, as if he understood.
"After all, seeing the death of a loved one with my own eyes for the second time... must have hurt Shuji a lot..." Mr. Maeda shook his head.
"Sorry, what does the second time... mean?" Toru Amuro asked curiously.
"Eleven years ago, the child's parents... died in a fire. It is said that when Shuji was found, he was standing next to the bodies of their couple..." Mr. Maeda's tone was sad and full of regret.
"Is that so..." Amuro Toru looked thoughtfully at the peaceful boy with his eyes closed.
Is this guy Kaa really named Tsushima?
Or is it that the real Tsushima Shuji...is dead long ago? Was his identity replaced by a member of the current organization?
The sound of police cars was heard outside the door.
…
"Who is the deceased..." Officer Megure, who led the team, asked.
Everyone came to the place where the deceased fell.
"It's my wife." Mr. Maeda replied quickly.
"The cause of death was a fall from a height..." Officer Megure looked at the body on the ground, then looked up at the balcony above.
"Then, could it be suicide?" Officer Megure asked, touching his chin.
"No!" Someone stood up and retorted.
Everyone looked at him.
He was frightened by the attention of everyone, but he still mustered up the courage to point at the man beside him and speak.
"At that time...when Madam fell, I saw a figure behind her..."
"That's him! Madam's husband! Mr. Maeda!"
He pointed at Mr. Maeda with a horrified expression.
"It must be him, he pushed the lady downstairs."
Officer Megure looked at the waiter who stood up to accuse Mr. Maeda.
Then he looked at Mr. Maeda who had a look of panic on his face.
"Do you have anything to explain? Mr. Maeda." He asked in a deep voice.
The police on the side were ready to arrest Mr. Maeda at any time.
"Yes, I was indeed on the rooftop when Eri fell..."
"But! But I really didn't push her! She jumped down by herself!"
"Eri... was smiling when she jumped..." Mr. Maeda thought of the smile she left on him when she jumped from the balcony for life.
The whole person was in panic.
"If you put it that way...could it be suicide?" Officer Megure said, touching his chin.
"Nonsense! Madam clearly invited Master Tsushima to dine at home today! How could she suddenly commit suicide!" the waiter continued to retort.
Officer Megure heard a familiar last name.
"Master Tsushima? Is that the middle school student detective Tsushima-kun?" he asked.
If the other party is here, wouldn't this case be solved quickly?
"The deceased wife was Mr. Tsushima's aunt. At the moment when he jumped from the building, Mr. Tsushima happened to walk downstairs, so Mr. Tsushima saw the misery of his wife with his own eyes... Unable to accept the death of his loved one, Mr. Tsushima fainted on the spot... ..." the waiter explained from the side.
"My wife also said that Master Tsushima is a good boy..."
"They are relatives..." Officer Megure frowned.
The other party fainted, which means that this case needs to be solved by the police themselves.
Just like what the waiter said, how could the lady who had happily invited her relatives to dine at home choose to commit suicide before the meal?
But when Mr. Maeda said that the other party jumped down on his own, it didn't seem like he was lying.
what can we do about it……
"Well, I think Mrs. Maeda did jump by herself." Toru Amuro stood up silently and said.
Because someone is impatient with pretending to be faint inside, so let him come out quickly to solve the problem...
"Why doesn't Tsushima-kun go by yourself?" Toru Amuro asked.
"How can I still have the time to reason after witnessing the death of my loved ones? It's a super simple case, let me tell you~ Toru-kun, go quickly~" He urged with a matter-of-fact look.
Toru Amuro sighed.
"You are the one next to Tsushima-kun..." Officer Megure looked like he recognized him.
"Toru Amuro, I'm just Tsushima-kun's assistant." Toru Amuro introduced himself in a calm tone.
"Actually, it's very simple. Just look at where Mrs. Maeda landed."
"The landing position is different when you jump by yourself and when you are pushed down."
Toru Amuro said calmly.
"As for the reason why Mrs. Maeda jumped from the building..."
"I'm afraid he wanted to use his death to convince everyone that Mr. Maeda was the murderer."
