Nonoguchi Xiu turned out to be a shadow writer of Rigao?

(Continued) Summary of the Abbreviated Story of Malicious (Keigo Higashino) (2):

Kaga searched Nonoguchi's residence and found notes from Nonoguchi's university days and some draft files for writing articles and novels, most of which are almost identical or slightly different from the published works of Nikko, or speculate on the year, or even the draft novels published by Nikko. Why did Nonoguchi have these written manuscripts?

After careful reasoning and analysis, Kaga thinks that Nonoguchi Xiu should be a shadow writer who is growing day by day. In this way, it can be reasonably explained that the 27 pages of the serial work "The Leaf of Ice" can be written in a short time before Rigao was killed, that is, "The Leaf of Ice" was written in advance by Rigao's shadow writer Nonoguchi and presented to Rigao on the disk.

From this, Kaga speculated that Nonoguchi was the shadow writer of Rigao, and "this murder case was induced by various wonderful entanglements." However, Kaga still has doubts that killing people is just a small impulse? In addition, the biggest question is, why does Nonoguchi want to be a growing shadow writer?

With the deepening of case investigation, the media is also on the move. There are different opinions about Nonoguchi Xiu, the shadow writer of Niigata. Kaga racked his brains to find out Nonoguchi's motive for killing.

"The potential factor of crime is often women".

Kaga visited Nonoguchi Xiu's neighbors and former colleagues who lived for more than ten years, and all said that he had no girlfriend. Kaga thought that in addition to these three items, there should be more critical items for lovers who are in love. After searching again, Kaga remembered the sentence that Nonoguchi Xiu once said, "Don't rummage in my room again, there are important books left by others." The second search lasted for more than two hours, and I found a photo of a woman in the thick "Guangci Garden", which really turned out to be the beauty of my ex-wife who died in a car accident.

In view of the relationship between Nikko Chumei and Noguchi, Kaga made a new visit. Nikko Rie said that Nonoguchi Xiu once thought that the car accident in Nikko Chumei was not an accident, and Nonoguchi repaired the luggage sent abroad by Nikko, which should contain something of great significance.

Further visits made Kaga feel more and more close to the truth of the case.

At the beginning of Rigao, Mei and Noguchi had a love affair, which was discovered by Rigao, thus threatening Nonoguchi to become a shadow writer of Rigao.

It seems that in order to prove that Kaga's reasoning is correct, a knife wrapped in a transparent bag was found in Nikko's luggage sent back from Canada, all of which were fingerprints repaired by Nonoguchi. In addition, a single-line book of Firefly was hollowed out, and a video tape was hidden. The date shown in the video tape was in December seven years ago, when Nonoguchi Xiu sneaked into the Rigao family.

Kaga confronted Noguchi with these evidences again, and broke through the defense line of Nonoguchi Xiu. Nonoguchi Xiu told the whole story as a shadow writer in the form of notes:

Nonoguchi Xiu visited his old classmate Rigao seven years ago, hoping to get the support of Rigao, who has a certain reputation, and submitted his novel "Round Fire" about a pyrotechnic master to Rigao for review and recommendation.

When Nonoguchi went to Rigao's home to discuss novels, he saw the early beauty of Rigao and fell in love with it at first sight. Later, he fell in love with the early beauty. From the mouth of the early beauty, Rigao changed the name of "Round Fire" into "Dead Fire" and became a best-selling author.

Nonoguchi Xiu fell in love with Chu Mei, and planned to travel to Okinawa. As a result, their trip to the United States was cancelled midway because of Riko, and their plans were forced to be cancelled. With the deepening of their love, Nonoguchi Xiu began to plan to kill Riko, but when he sneaked into Riko's studio, he was caught by Riko, who had long been on guard, and threatened Nonoguchi Xiu with videos and knives as his shadow writer.

Later, Chumei couldn't bear the idea that Daigao used Nonoguchi Xiu to commit suicide. Nonoguchi Xiu and Rigao reached an agreement to terminate the relationship between shadow writers after the serial of The Leaf of Ice was completed.

On April 16th, Nonoguchi Xiu walked out of the porch and then turned back to the courtyard, near the studio, waiting for Miko Fujimi to leave and Rihui to go out soon. When Ri Gao went to the toilet, he sneaked into the house through the window. Then, when Ri Gao entered the house, Nonoguchi Xiu killed him with a brass paperweight and a telephone line.

Nonoguchi's confession coincides with Kaga's reasoning. Supposedly, the case should be closed, but Kaga always feels very strange, which should be unpractical. Kaga finally thought of one thing, that is, he has always inferred whether the cat killing incident mentioned in Nonoguchi's Xiugang's notes has led to his correct judgment on Rigao's character. It seems that all the evidence pointing to the shadow writer of Rigao is Nonoguchi's repair will always be hinted by Nonoguchi's repair.

There is another obvious doubt, that is, if Chu Mei really committed suicide because she was forced to be a shadow writer for Nonoguchi Xiu psychologically, why did Nonoguchi Xiu continue to be a growing shadow writer without resisting? In this case, everyone has a legitimate reason to start fighting against the rising sun and kill it. The reason given by Nonoguchi Xiu is that he is lazy to dispute with the rising sun. This accustomed excuse is far-fetched and counterintuitive.

what is the criminal motive?
