The exquisite gift box contained several green bananas and a bundle of brown incense sticks.

Bananas represent gratitude and longing in Japan, while incense and incense sticks represent health.

Children living far away from home often send bananas home to express their homesickness.

After opening the box, the woman's eyes showed nostalgia, as if someone had given her similar items a long time ago.

"I wonder what your surnames are?"

"My surname is Nakamori, and this one's surname is Oguri."

Kidd replied.

Of course they would not be so stupid as to reveal their real names. Forget about their names, their faces are all fake.

The woman poured hot tea for them and said with a smile:

"You two came all the way from Tokyo to visit me on behalf of Kiichiro. It's really hard on you."

“I don’t have anything to buy at home, so I can only treat you two to some homemade snacks. Please forgive me.”

"Don't dare."

Kidd waved his hand quickly:

“I love traditional snacks the most!”

"presumably."

Looking at Sakaki, the woman lowered her eyes and asked:

"You two must be very good friends with me, Kiichiro."

"After all, he has to come to visit his mother even though he is so far away."

"Um."

This time, Sakaki finally spoke:

"We had a chance encounter."

"Have you heard from him recently?"

"No."

After saying this, the woman fell silent.

Sakaki no longer asked questions, and the room became silent.

Kidd looked at the woman and then at Sakaki, confused for a moment.

Holding the teacup, Sakaki drank faster and faster.

He picked up a piece of senbei and put it into his mouth as a snack, chewing it.

After a while.

He took the last sip of tea and said:

"Then we'll take our leave."

"Wait a moment!"

The woman seemed to have made up her mind, gritted her teeth and stood up, quickly walked to the cabinet nearby and took out a box.

Inside the box, there were stacks of banknotes wrapped in plastic film.

Seeing this, Sakaki said quietly:

"Are you sure?"

"Um."

The woman pushed the box in front of Sakaki Makoto and Kidd, and said firmly:

"This money has been sent to me by Jiichiro one after another over the years."

"The total is 2.3 million."

"I also know that he killed many people."

Kidd's eyes widened:

"What do you mean?"

Without answering his question directly, the woman lowered her head and held her wrinkled hands together:

"I divorced Kiichiro's father when he was young."

"His surname was not Numayuan originally, but I changed my surname when I moved back to my parents' home."

"Due to the pressure of life, I failed to properly discipline him, so he has been hanging out on the streets since he was a child, playing with local gangsters all day long."

At this time, she noticed that Sakaki's teacup was out of water, so she quickly picked up the teapot and poured him another cup.

Sakaki Makoto

There was no movement to stop her.

"Because of the lack of father's love, Kiichiro's temperament has become surly and eccentric, and his behavior has become more and more public."

The woman bit her lower lip, as if pouring out her bitterness, and recalling the past, and said:

"At that time, my parents who lived in my hometown in Gunma Prefecture passed away one after another. I had to take care of the store by myself, so I failed to notice his changes."

"By the time I found out, he had grown up and couldn't listen to my advice."

"He couldn't go to school and lived on the streets all day. In order to give him a decent job, I signed up for him to take the driving school test twenty years ago."

The woman's body trembled slightly, remembering the painful past, and looked sad:

"But I didn't expect that he would actually"

Fascinated by what he heard, Kidd subconsciously asked:

"What happened to him?"

"Kiichiro he"

The woman took a deep breath and continued:

"I drank too much one day and leaked the brake fluid on the car of an instructor at the driving school."

"Originally, this was supposed to be just a prank, but the coach died in a car accident."

"Because of fear, he left his home and traveled to Tokyo alone."

"I thought he would change his appearance and start a new life, but he turned out to be a criminal."

Nodding, Sakaki took out his cigarette case:

"Can I smoke?"

"Can."

The woman took an ashtray out of the cabinet and put it on the table.

Crack!

After lighting the cigarette, Sakaki took a puff and said:

"Twenty years ago, Numabuchi Kiichiro killed a driving school instructor because of a prank. This incident."

"You did not notify the police at the time."

If the woman had told the police about the incident 20 years ago, there is no doubt that Numabuchi Kiichiro would have been jailed.

"I have lost my husband and parents. Kiichiro is my only child and my last relative."

The woman smiled miserably:

"Looking back now, I deeply regret my behavior."

"regret?"

Kidd asked strangely:

"Why would a mother regret shielding her son?"

This is also what Sakaki wants to ask.

Since Asami Numabuchi didn't tell the truth 20 years ago, why did she suddenly confess today 20 years later?

"Kiichiro is my son."

The woman raised her head with tears in her eyes:

"Aren't the people he killed other people's sons?"

"For 20 years, I have been living in torment. I wanted him to surrender, but I couldn't find him until..."

"More than half a month ago, he suddenly came back."

Squinting his eyes, Sakaki noticed keenly

The key to catching Kiichiro Numabuchi is here!

"It was raining lightly that day, and I saw no one was outside, so I planned to close the shop and take a rest."

woman said:

"But before I could close the shutter, Kiichiro stumbled in."

"This is also the first time I have seen him after 20 years."

"What about after meeting him?"

Kid couldn't wait to ask, and he also realized that Numabuchi Kiichiro's traces had been exposed.

"He was panicking, like someone was chasing him."

Wiping her eyes with her sleeves, the woman continued:

"He gave me a sum of money and said he would take me out of Osaka, but I didn't agree."

"Then he told me that he was hiding in a cabin on the mountain and asked me to send him food regularly."

Kidd and Sakaki looked at each other.

"What cabin?"

"It's the cabin on the north side of Minoh Mountain."

The woman said calmly:

"After I found out about this, I planned to report it to the police, but before I even left the house."

"A policeman came to the door."

"police?"

Frowning, Sakaki felt that things were beginning to develop in an uncontrollable direction:

"Did you tell the policeman where Kiichiro Numabuchi was hiding?"

"Um."

The woman nodded:

"But."

"The policeman said that when he went there, Kiichiro had already escaped."

"Do you know the name of that policeman?"

The woman thought for a while and said:

"I saw it said in the police manual"

"Sakata Yusuke."
