In a luxurious villa in Tokyo, Silence received the most challenging case of his career. The villa belonged to Fujiwara Masako, the widow of a wealthy tycoon, who hired Silence to investigate the death of her nanny, Mika Murata. Mika was found dead in her home, with no signs of violence or clear motive for a crime. However, Silence discovered some unusual details that made him realize this was not a simple suicide or accident.
When Silence arrived at the villa, he found Fujiwara Masako waiting at the door. She looked haggard but still exuded an air of nobility. She handed Silence a will that stated Mika Murata was her most trusted nanny and had treated her children as her own. At the end of the will, Fujiwara Masako revealed a shocking secret: she planned to leave most of her fortune to Mika Murata instead of her biological children.
"I am deeply shocked by her death," Fujiwara Masako said softly. "She has always been so loyal and kind."
Silence nodded in understanding, but doubts began to form in his mind. Why would such a trusted nanny choose to commit suicide? And did the revelation of a substantial inheritance in the will have anything to do with it?
Silence started to carefully examine the scene. He noticed some peculiar details: Mika's room was unusually tidy, with almost no personal belongings; yet her closet was surprisingly spacious, filled with various clothes and accessories. Additionally, her phone had frequent contacts with an unknown number, which turned out to be from a remote village.
Determined to trace this mysterious number, Silence contacted the local police for assistance. After several hours of tracking, they finally located the owner of the number—a man named Yoshisuke Yamaguchi. According to Yoshisuke, he and Mika had once been lovers but had long since broken up. When Silence asked why Mika had been contacting him so frequently, Yoshisuke's demeanor suddenly changed; he became visibly nervous.
"We just chatted occasionally," he stammered.
Silence keenly picked up on the subtle shift in his tone. He realized that Yoshisuke might be hiding some crucial information.
To delve deeper into Mika's past and motives, Silence decided to visit her hometown—a remote town. There, he met Mika's family and friends. They all expressed that Mika had always dreamed of a better life but seemed perpetually thwarted by fate. Coming from a poor family and losing her parents at a young age forced her to work early on to make ends meet. In town, she met Yoshisuke Yamaguchi; they shared some beautiful moments together but ultimately broke up due to Yoshisuke's poverty.
After returning to Tokyo, Mika became Fujiwara Masako's nanny. Although she devoted herself wholeheartedly to caring for Fujiwara Masako's children, she could never forget Yoshisuke Yamaguchi. When Fujiwara Masako announced that she would leave most of her fortune to her, Mika felt it was an opportunity for happiness again. However, Yoshisuke rejected any chance of reconciliation and informed her that he was about to marry a wealthy heiress. This shattered Mika's emotional defenses completely.
Silence realized that Mika's death was not merely a suicide or accident; it was a meticulously planned act designed to conceal her true motives and crimes. Her room’s immaculate condition was meant to create the impression of suicide; the variety of clothes and accessories in her closet were intended to cover up any traces left behind when she departed. Her frequent contact with Yoshisuke Yamaguchi was likely an attempt to confirm his whereabouts and plans; while the missed call on her phone served as a misdirection for both the police and Fujiwara Masako.
To validate his suspicions, Silence decided to meet with Yoshisuke Yamaguchi again. He presented all the evidence and clues he had gathered, revealing Mika Murata's true motives and plans. Faced with this evidence, Yoshisuke finally broke down in tears and confessed his crimes. It turned out that he could not accept that Mika would soon leave him for wealth; thus he devised an intricate plan that exploited Mika's desire for inheritance and feelings for him, pushing her toward death.
After the truth came out, Fujiwara Masako was left in shock. She had believed Mika Murata to be a loyal and kind nanny but discovered instead that she was driven by greed and love into becoming a murderer. Moreover, she realized that her will might have been one of the catalysts for this tragedy. Overwhelmed with guilt and remorse, she decided to reevaluate her will and inheritance distribution plan.
