After Suzuki Ayako woke up, the Suzuki couple started investigating the incident.
You see, Suzuki Ayako's room was not accessible to just anyone.
They began by questioning the housekeepers and maids.
But surprisingly, none of them seemed suspicious.
"Ayako, do you have any suspects?!?"
"Or did you notice anything unusual in the days leading up to your collapse?!"
"Or who has been in your room?"
Suzuki Tomoko, seeing her daughter recovering, couldn't help but ask.
Suzuki Ayako was also shocked to have been unconscious for so long.
And there seemed to be some mysterious force involved.
Naturally, she tried to recall everything from the days before she passed out.
After all, even she hadn't imagined someone would try to kill her.
"Fuzawa Yuzo!"
"He's the only one who could have entered my room."
Suzuki Ayako thought for a long time, a bit conflicted, before she finally uttered the name.
He was the third son of the current chairman of the Fuzawa Group.
He had pursued her after a banquet.
Since their families were close, she didn't refuse him.
As someone born into a prestigious family like Suzuki, Suzuki Ayako had received an elite education.
The idea of an arranged marriage was not entirely unexpected.
Of course, she knew Fuzawa Yuzo well.
They had even gotten engaged recently.
They had seen each other quite frequently before this, and he had indeed been to her room.
But she couldn't believe that he could be the culprit.
Suzuki Tomoko's eyes narrowed slightly!
She noticed something peculiar.
During the time Suzuki Ayako was unconscious, the Suzuki Group had claimed she was on a business trip.
They had even kept it from her own sister, Sonoko!
But Fuzawa Yuzo had never called to inquire about her condition.
And the Suzuki Group had secretly hired a lot of doctors.
For a powerful organization like the Suzuki Group, these actions were bound to be noticed.
No matter who within the Suzuki Group was involved!
Shouldn't Fuzawa Yuzo, her fiancé, have expressed some concern?
But there was nothing!
"Why?!"
Of course, Suzuki Tomoko had her own doubts.
If the culprit was indeed Fuzawa Yuzo, what was his motive?
In any case!
This incident was shrouded in suspicion.
But Suzuki Tomoko also realized that investigating this matter would be quite challenging.
Regardless!
The Suzuki Group couldn't ignore such a destabilizing factor.
Therefore, they decided to investigate discreetly.
They finally found evidence from the surveillance footage of a nearby shop.
It showed Fuzawa Yuzo entering the Suzuki Manor with a peculiar object in his hand.
While he tried to conceal it, some clues were revealed.
With this evidence, things became much easier!
The Suzuki Group quickly started to pressure and acquire assets from the Fuzawa Group.
They also cancelled their engagement!
This incident drew significant attention from Japan's elite.
They were puzzled about the sudden animosity between the two groups.
Rumors started to spread.
The rumors suggested that Fuzawa Yuzo had tried to murder Suzuki Ayako, the heiress of the Suzuki Group.
Sometimes, rumors are actually true.
This incident had a connection to Dougen Shun.
According to information from Kato Nobuo, Fuzawa Yuzo's target was not just Suzuki Ayako.
He was aiming for everyone in the Suzuki Group, seeking revenge.
Apparently, Fuzawa Yuzo hadn't fallen in love with Suzuki Ayako at the banquet.
It was actually his father who had instructed him to pursue her to strengthen ties with the Suzuki Group.
He had even been forced by his father to break up with his former girlfriend and she married someone else.
Not long ago.
His elder brother, Fuzawa Taiichi, had killed Fuzawa Tetsuji because he wanted to become a novelist.
Fuzawa Yuzo was now without constraints!
It's safe to say that this family was not mentally stable.
He had initially planned to use special means to silently kill Suzuki Ayako.
But he had encountered Dougen Shun.
"Wait, the Fuzawa family has an evil deity statue?!"
However, Dougen Shun suddenly noticed something peculiar.
But the evil deity statue was brought back by Fuzawa Daichi, Fuzawa Yuzo's second brother.
Even Dougen Shun couldn't help but find this interesting.
If he remembers correctly, the three brothers.
Fuzawa Yuzo is bound to be imprisoned.
The Suzuki Group is very powerful, and Fuzawa Daichi emerged as the biggest winner.
This incident seems to be related to the evil deity statue.
Because the evil deity statue must have fueled Fuzawa Yuzo's malicious intent.
But that extraordinary method was not provided by the evil deity statue.
Or maybe Fuzawa Daichi himself came into contact with some extraordinary powers and discovered the special properties of the evil deity statue.
He used it to plot against his brothers!
This seems like a plausible explanation.
