Satou Mihoko was accused of murder, with irrefutable evidence against her. How could a gentle, kind woman, well-regarded in the neighborhood, possibly be a killer? This question weighed heavily on Silence's heart, driving her to embark on a quest for the truth.
The next morning, Silence arrived at the crime scene—a villa located in a remote mountainous area. The atmosphere inside the villa was oppressive, and the air still seemed to carry the scent of blood from the previous night. The police had sealed off the area and were conducting their final investigations.
As Silence stepped into the villa, her eyes were immediately drawn to a male corpse lying in the center of the living room. The deceased's face was twisted in agony, clearly having suffered immensely before death. There were no signs of struggle, only a bloodstained fruit knife quietly resting beside the body. Initial assessments indicated this was a typical home invasion murder case, and Satou Mihoko had been identified as a suspect due to various circumstantial evidence.
However, Silence's gaze did not linger on these obvious clues. She slowly moved through the villa, carefully observing every corner. Suddenly, her attention was captured by an old photograph that had been left beside a bookshelf. In the photo, Satou Mihoko stood side by side with a man, both smiling brightly. Silence found it strange that the man in the photograph was not the deceased but rather an unfamiliar face.
With this photograph in hand, Silence began an in-depth investigation into Satou Mihoko's life. She visited her neighbors, colleagues, and friends, trying to piece together the true nature of Mihoko’s life. However, the results of her investigation left her even more perplexed.
Everyone spoke highly of Satou Mihoko; she was not only hardworking and friendly but also frequently participated in charitable activities to help those in need. How could such a person be connected to a murder?
Just as Silence fell into deep thought, an unexpected discovery broke the stalemate. Using technical means, she recovered a deleted call log from Mihoko's phone. The log revealed that on the night before the incident, Mihoko had engaged in a lengthy conversation with an unknown man whose voice bore an uncanny resemblance to that of the man in the photograph.
As the investigation deepened, the truth gradually came to light. The man in the photograph was named Abe Shinichi, Mihoko's first love. They had broken up years ago due to misunderstandings but had never truly moved on from each other. On the night before the incident, Abe Shinichi suddenly contacted Mihoko, claiming he was terminally ill and wished to see her one last time.
Without hesitation, Mihoko agreed to meet him at the villa. However, when she arrived at the villa, she found Abe Shinichi lying in a pool of blood. In a panic, she immediately called for help; due to various circumstances, her actions were misinterpreted as fleeing from guilt.
Through meticulous reasoning and relentless effort, Silence ultimately uncovered the truth. The real murderer was a security guard at the villa who had killed Abe Shinichi out of jealousy over his relationship with Mihoko. Meanwhile, Mihoko was entirely innocent.
With the truth revealed, Satou Mihoko's name was finally cleared. However, for Silence, this was just the beginning. She understood that many innocent people like Mihoko were still suffering from unjust accusations in this world. She would continue to protect the light of justice in silence.
As night fell, Silence set off on her way home once again. Her figure appeared particularly solitary yet resolute under the glow of neon lights. She knew that as long as there was light in her heart, she would have nothing to fear.
