"Ah," Dubian Youli lit one for himself and deeply inhaled, then after organizing his thoughts, he spoke, "Mr. Aoyama, it's unlikely that Yoshikai Youzai killed Takai Baoyu by accident, right?"
His words were startling.
"What makes you say that, Director Du Bian?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked with a look of surprise, seriously adding, "This concerns a colleague's innocence; do you have any evidence for such a claim? We can't be careless with such matters!"
