"Chapter error, click here to report"

"I thought you had given up on the 'curse' of continuing to track down the "Love Letter"?"

After Lin Xiuyi got into the car, he fastened his seat belt firmly, then put the thermos cup filled with coffee on the cup holder between the two, and then said to Yuan Zhizhu in surprise. fastest update

"Sorry, I have a few scum from the Metropolitan Police Department waiting for me to deal with it recently, and it took a lot of time. Now, I have finally completed the task at hand!"

Yuan Zhizhu looked at Lin Xiuyi, and then his eyes drifted to the thermos cup he was carrying with him. I saw Yuan Zhizhu smiled helplessly, restarted the car, and drove in the direction leading to the Kanyue Expressway.

Since the last time he broke up with Yuan Zhizhu in Marunouchi, Lin Xiuyi has not received any news from Yuan Zhizhu. Although he had something about the "curse" in mind, but because he lacked the necessary reason to continue the investigation, and Lin Xiuyi also wanted to take a good rest, he did not take the initiative to ask Yuan Zhizhu about the follow-up. Who would have thought, just when Lin Xiuyi was planning to take advantage of the vacation to go on vacation with his family, he received a call from Yuan Zhizhu again.

"Xiuichi-kun, I have found the person who knows the past of the Kikuchi family, but we have to go to Sakado City in Saitama Prefecture, because the other person lives there now!"

Yuan Zhizhu said a few words to Lin Xiuyi vaguely on the phone, and then hung up the phone. This made Lin Xiuyi, who had already started packing for the upcoming trip, feel extremely embarrassed.

"So, Mr. Inspector! You must know that I gave up a rare opportunity to travel with my family for your sake!"

Lin Xiuyi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, kept complaining to Yuan Zhizhu.

"I understand Shuichi-kun, so you can also treat our trip to Saitama as a trip. Don't you think that going out with me is actually a very interesting thing?"

Yuan Zhizhu rarely joked with Lin Xiu.

After the car left Kichijoji, it drove all the way north to the Kan-Etsu Expressway leading to the northern area. Along the way, the car that Gen Chitake was driving began to gallop in the direction of Sakado. But about an hour later, the car drove off the Kanyue Expressway. Entered the urban area of ​​Sakado City.

Yuan Zhizhu slowly parked the car on the side of the road, and then turned to the insider's address from the notebook he carried with him. After repeated confirmation, Yuan Zhizhu finally successfully found the former Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mizuno Satomi, a maid from the official Kikuchi family.

"I take the liberty to visit, please forgive me. We came from Tokyo to ask you about the old affairs of the Kikuchi family. This is my business card, please accept it with a smile!"

As Lin Xiu said that, he handed over his business card. Mizuno Satomi took the business card handed over by Lin Xiuyi with some doubts, and then recited it in her heart.

"Search a lesson, Lin Xiuyi?"

"You...you turned out to be the police!"

"Hey, because I have some doubts about the accident that happened at Mr. Kikuchi's house, we came from afar to ask you about the situation before and after the accident."

Genzhizhu briefly explained the purpose of his visit, and after hearing his explanation, the surprised expression on Ms. Mizuno's face gradually disappeared, replaced by an expression of sudden realization.

"That's it, but this is what happened years ago!"

Mizuno Satomi said with some uncertainty.

"About this, please don't pay too much attention to it. You can just say what you still remember. Anything is fine."

Lin Xiuyi then added to Mizuno Satomi. Under his encouragement, Mizuno Satomi gradually gained some confidence.

"This is a long story. That year was my third year working for the Kikuchi family. I was mainly responsible for the daily cleaning and maintenance of the Kikuchi family's villa near Lake Hakone..."

"Thinking about it now, Mr. Kikuchi is really an easy person to deal with! Don't look at him as a respected diplomat. But people have no pretence. I really don't understand why such a good person has such misfortune. thing!"

I heard Mizuno Satomi spoke so highly of Kikuchi Ryoma. Lin Xiuyi was a little surprised, but then he asked another person in the incident, Kikuchi Takashi, who lost his life because of a fall.

"Excuse me, what kind of person is Mr. Kikuchi Takashi who died suddenly due to an unfortunate accident?"

"Is this? Actually, I don't know much about it. I just know that Master Shigui had just returned from studying abroad and was planning to discuss his marriage with Mr. Kikuchi."

"Then, have you ever met the woman who married Mr. Shigui?"

"Is this, this is not. In fact, when the accident happened. The master was eating out with his friends, so I didn't see the young master rolling down the stairs. I thought that after the incident, the fiancee of Master Zhigui also I'll come and see, but I didn't expect the other party to cancel the engagement that had already been set, and even the other party didn't attend the funeral of the young master Zhigui..."

"Then you mean, from the beginning to the end, you haven't seen Master Zhigui's fiancee?"

"Well! Don't say it's me, even the master refused to ask the other party to meet someone."

Hearing Mizuno Satomi's introduction, Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu couldn't help but look at each other. This fiancée is too suspicious. This can't help but make Lin Xiu question the authenticity of the accident.

"Excuse me, after Mr. Kikuchi Shiki died, did the police investigate his accident?"

"Well~lightnovelpub.net~ This is true. The police announced at the time that there was no possibility of homicide. After notifying the people in the hospital, they all left."

"That's what it is!"

Lin Xiuyi thought to himself in his heart.

...

After leaving Ms. Mizuno's house, both Lin Xiuyi and Genzhizhu had great doubts about Kikuchi Takashi's fiancée. After all, the series of actions the other party made after Kikuchi Shiki's death was too suspicious. .

"What kind of person is that fiancee?"

Lin Xiuyi asked with some doubts.

"I'm not sure. However, I'm interested in going back and looking at the investigation report on Shiki Kikuchi's accident. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises..."

Yuan Zhizhu said seriously.
