The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 147. case settlement.
“Kakak, why are you so sumringah?” helena asked with her curious face when they had just entered her car.
“Because I'm happy. I think I already know who the killer is and most importantly, I know it seems to know the motive,”, said Graciella satisfied. "Died to find one more piece of evidence."
Helena and Ferdinand raised their eyes. “Ha? Wh who? what evidence is it again?"
“Wait just. After I got it. We need to get straight to the nearest police station right now. We don't want the culprit to run, do we?” ask Graciella right away.
Helena and Ferdinand could only hold back their curiosity.

Graciella sat in front of Brigjend Howard, Cindy Ipda and also some family people. There are Yuki, Mr. Kane, Mr. Ming and their two wives. There are also some employees who are on the list of suspected people. Everyone seemed nervous as they were called back to this police station
“Good afternoon, I am here to reveal who is the mastermind of the murder of Mr Sato's family,” Graciella said.
“Really? Why so fast? You just came and investigated it for two days here. The police have been investigating him for almost two weeks but all the results are nil,” said Mr. Ming seemed a little emotional.
“That's why I was able to quickly get to who the killer was. All thanks to the results of the police investigation. They gave us all things. And this can all be revealed of course because of our cooperation,” said Graciella. Brigadier General Howard only glanced at Graciella with his hands folded in front of his chest.
“Then who is the killer?” asked Mrs Kane enthusiastically. He hired Graciella and her team.
“Before I didn't want to accuse without proof. So I'll lay out all my findings. Mr. Sato and his 4-member family were killed two weeks ago at night with fatal gunshot wounds. The TKP situation is very messy but we managed to get some very strong evidence. One of them is this 40-sized footprint.”
“In our family that has footprints that size is only Yuki. But Yuki was out of town with her friends and teacher that night. He even did campfire. And there is no way he can go home, the distance is very far to have to take another boat to the main island.” explained Mrs Kane.
“Yes, because it wasn't Yuki who killed her family. I never suspected him from the beginning. From every family photo, it is noticeable how close Yuki is to her family.”
“Then who is the person who has the size of 40 feet?”
“Not a problem of size, because I'm sure once he just wants us to think the attacker is someone who has such a foot size.”
“Then?”
“The attacker is also not a woman. It can be seen from the way he killed Mr. Sato. He thought of muffling the sound with pillows that actors often do in action movies. Rarely do women think that way even though there may be. But I'm sure this time the killer was a man who used a size 40 feet and a woman's footprint. Because, the attacker deliberately used Yuki's shoes to trick everything.” Graciella took a breath for a moment. Looking at the tense and curious faces who were staring at him tightly. “He is also quite ingenious and has planned all of this carefully. He even sent three letters to Mr. Sato so that it was as if there was a woman who was heartbroken with Mr. Sato and demanded a reply. It also makes the condition of the house that was warm become tenuous. Mr. Sato chose to sleep on the sofa, and the killer knew it too.”
“How can any outsider know about it? Is he spying on Sato's family? Does she hate Sato so much?” ask the curious Madam Ming. Why does this woman not just reveal who is the mastermind of this murder.
“Not, he doesn't even have a problem with Mr. Sato's family actually,” explains Graciella again. Everyone scrunched his forehead.
“What do you mean? No problem but kill everyone in the house. Police also said no valuables were lost because nothing was stored there. They have deposited all their money to the bank in the morning,”, said Mr. Ming who seemed emotional until he slipped into speaking. “I know because I did see it,” said Mr. Ming scratching his head.
Everyone looked suspiciously at him. His wife was shocked to open her mouth. “Not me! I didn't kill him!” ming said instantly moistened by cold sweat.
“Listen! Hear that! He said I wasn't the killer, was I! I just want to take the money and go. He's dropped my pride and I want to teach him a lesson. The shit! He even deposited the money into the bank so I could not carry out my plan!” mister Ming said with emotion. He saw the police around him. If there's no Graciella, he's a suspect.
“Yes, it is also highly utilized by killer. He did not want to take a dime of Mr. Sato's money, but he was looking for more valuable things,” said Graciella.
“What is it?” ask Mrs Kane.
Graciella smiled with satisfaction. “Yuki. He's after Yuki!”
“Ha? But Yuki wasn't home at the time. Does he want to kidnap Yuki!” said the confused Mr. Ming.
“Not, he instead knew that Yuki that day was not home. Therefore he immediately launched all his plans. Killing all of Mr. Sato's family until he can finally get Yuki as his foster child. Mr. Kane, it was you who killed all of Mr. Sato's family!”
Everyone was instantly shocked and astonished at what Graciella said. Everyone looked at Mr. Kane who also had a confused face why even he was accused by this woman.
The people in the room were also shocked when Brigadier General Howard issued a gesture for his men to detain Mr. Kane. They immediately handcuffed Mr. Kane who gave the fight. But he can't do anything.
“Nona, don't just talk, why would I do that. I want to take care of Yuki because I really want to return the favor from Kak Sato,”, said Mr. Kane tried to calm down even though his face had been pressed to the table because he refused and revolted to be detained.
“Really! You don't just talk! My husband's a good man, there's no way he's doing it! That night he was with me! You're the origin of the talk!” said Mrs Kane standing up. She did not want her husband to be accused like that. She was sure her husband was a very good person.
“I don't just accuse. Mrs Kane, according to medical records, you actively use sleeping pills. I'm sure you went to bed early. When you use sleeping pills, the effect is 6 hours without being disturbed. Therefore you will not know when your husband slipped away,”, Graciella said. “Mr Kane then went to Mr Sato's house which greeted him very warmly. He knew that Mr. Sato was sleeping in the living room because Mr. Sato had previously discussed this with Mr. Kane at the party a few days before the incident. Mr. Sato also said that Yuki would go on a trip. He immediately launched his attack. It was proved. Of all the places in the house, it was only Yukilah's room that he did not enter when it had no key from the inside, a rule from Mr. Sato that the nursery should not be locked. The room was clean and also neat. The place is between the two CPI. If someone else had entered it, he would not have known that Yuki was not home. If you knew, why didn't he enter Yuki's room, when the whole house was so messy? Mr. Kane also wears Yuki's shoes which may be left in his house. I found Yuki's sports shoes in the back of your house when I excused her for the bathroom. The shoe showed a line like its back was stepped on. In addition, the soles of his feet smell a strong whitening smell. I took it quietly and immediately checked, the luminol shimmered the sign there was blood there.”
"You're very clever at planning everything, wrapping your whole body so as not to leave any traces, even a little bit of DNA. I think you've been wanting to do this for a long time, haven't you?"
“You're crazy! Why did I kill Sato just for Yuki!” said Mr. Kane again now with his face.
“Because you're so crazy about Yuki. You loved your own niece since she was a child. Isn't that Yuki?” ask Graciella. "Not to be afraid, he won't torture you anymore."
Yuki took a deep breath then nodded slowly, everyone was once again dumbfounded.
“You killed her family so you could get custody of Yuki so you could stay with her. You've been harassing your niece for so long. Yuki wrote everything down on her laptop that she asked me to take it. While in your house, Yuki does not want to get out of the room not because of the death of his family but because he is afraid of this predator. Yuki can't do anything anymore because his main protector has been lost. He is also very scared of you for maybe being threatened with being killed and also killing the rest of his family. I can see Yuki's face that looks more depressed as she sits near you, as you embrace her, from the look in her eyes and look up her face showing fear.” Graciella said.
Everyone who heard that was shocked for mercy. Helena and Ferdinand looked silent, Brigadier General Howard just narrowed his eyes to look at Graciella. Quite impressed by what he has done.
“He raped me since I was 8 years old. He always tortured me when he did that to me. He always threatened to kill my family. When I no longer want to be with him. He really killed my family! He's so scary!” yuki said with a very heartbreaking sobbing.
Mrs Kane seemed to be unable to say anything. The team she hired to reveal her family's death in fact reveals the crimes of her own husband. Her head was so dizzy to see her husband being dragged straight to the detention center. Unknowingly, he instantly collapsed being captured by Mr. Ming.
“Now you're free Yuki. The person who threatened you is no more. I'm so sorry about what happened to your family,” Graciella said sympathizing. Madam Ming directly hugged Yuki who looked extremely struck by the whole thing. His core family is dead and he has to live with the man who raped him and also killed his family. It will be the most terrible thing in the world.
Graciella immediately tidied up all her stuff. Hearing Yuki's crying voice, she might also get carried away and cry. So instead of that, he better get out of here. Brigjend Howard just looked at Graciella with a serious look.
