Done with half of this week‘s reading already (until the end of chapter 8).
I really really liked the question 湯川 asked 石神 there at the end… the allusion to the case and the question whether it’s more difficult to plan the perfect murder or to solve it is just so perfect.
But why do I feel like 湯川 is really good at acting/feigning ignorance while 石神 and 花岡‘s acting is falling apart already :laughing:
I also like how 石神 is getting more jealous of 工藤… the 人間関係 are getting real complicated and I love it.

Gonna go read chapter 9 now :v:t3:

瑞江駅 みずええき
浜町駅 はまちょうえき
森岡 もりおか
汐留 しおどめ
工藤 那明 くどう くにあき (we got his first name)
And last week I thought this one wouldn’t come up again but it did:

I did not get the allusion at the end of chapter 8, thanks for pointing it out @Myria!

Finished the week 5 reading. Getting stressed for everyone even though it’s fiction and I’ve read it before. (Sign of a compelling book.)
