Tokyo Police

v11 Chapter 24: Apologize

"Clogs?"

"Yes, clogs!"

Lin Xiu put down the wine glass in his hand and replied affirmatively to Yuan Zhizhu.

"So what do you mean, Kikuchi Takashi's death was not an accident?"

Yuan Zhizhu asked Lin Xiuyi nervously.

"I'm not sure about this yet, but the pair of slippers on the scene was so eye-catching that I couldn't ignore such an unusual suspicion. Also, the man's fiancée abroad was also very interesting. From start to finish , No one in the Kikuchi family has ever seen the descendant of this French aristocrat. But so coincidentally, when the accident happened, she was on the phone with the deceased... and she also swore that the deceased was not around when he fell. People. Then, how did a normal adult man like Kikuchi roll down the stairs? Why did the clogs that should exist on the scene turn into slippers? Could it be that the girl in "Love Letter" did all this? Is it?"

Lin Xiu shook his head, quickly raised his glass and drank the wine in front of him, then he motioned to the bartender at the bar to serve him another serving of the same.

"I didn't expect you to find something suspicious so quickly. But I didn't ask you out tonight to ask you about the Kikuchi family. In fact, what happened to me may surprise you even more. Asai invited us to Xiwu Mountain Villa next week to visit a small art exchange event. How about Shuichi-kun, are you interested in being a company with me?"

"Oh? If there is such a thing, doesn't that mean that Mr. Asai is not in danger?"

"Yeah, I also find it strange, why do I always feel that Asai-kun is weird these days. I was worried about whether he was involved in some bad incident, but now it seems that it is I'm overthinking it."

"Inspector, can I ask you, is there any connection between Mr. Asai and the Kikuchi family, or with the deceased Mr. Maezawa?"

After Lin Xiuyi took the wine from the bartender, he took a sip and then consulted Yuan Zhizhu.

"This... I'm afraid I really can't answer your question. In fact, my friendship with Asai is not as deep as you think!"

Yuan Zhizhu picked up the wine glass and stared at the ice cubes floating in the wine glass with a lonely expression, as if caught in some kind of memory.

"Thinking about something?"

Seeing that the inspector suddenly stopped speaking, Lin Xiuyi asked curiously.

"Yes, I suddenly remembered some people and things, and some people missed it, it's hard to meet!"

Hearing Yuan Zhizhu's words, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, because he couldn't tell whether the people mentioned in Yuan Zhizhu's words were referring to Yuanneng Temple. Akimi, the unnamed lady who is still the deceased former lover and the younger sister of Koichi Asai.

Lin Xiuyi secretly used his luck, he felt that this time should be a good opportunity to unravel the knot between him and Yuan Zhizhu. So he raised his glass abruptly and drank the spirits in it. Then he resisted the feeling of blood tumbling in his throat, and solemnly lowered his head to Yuan Zhizhu and said:

"Inspector, what happened to Mingmei-chan is wrong, please be sure...don't blame Mingmei-chan..."

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's words that were similar to apologizing, Yuan Zhizhu couldn't help turning his head and looking at him with a playful expression. Not only Yuan Zhizhu, but also other customers in the bar who were talking suddenly noticed Lin Xiuyi's abnormal behavior.

"Cut your belly!"

Yuan Zhizhu suddenly whispered to Lin Xiuyi.

"Eh?"

Lin Xiuyi raised his head in surprise, he couldn't believe his ears.

"If you really feel that there is something wrong with you, just go directly to the abdomen, and I will forgive you!"

Yuan Zhizhu whispered to Lin Xiuyi in a low voice.

"I don't think it's worth it to cut the abdomen for such a trivial matter! Actually, I don't understand, why did Xiuyi-kun suddenly apologize to me? Do you really think that you have done something heinous?"

"That's because...because..."

"It's because I'm a fan of Mingmei, and Xiuyi-kun is currently dating Mingmei, so I simply think that I will be dissatisfied with this, and then keep my distance from me, right?"

Although Yuan Zhizhu's voice was not high, Lin Xiuyi had to admit that basically every word the other party said caught his mind.

"One more question, Xiuyi-kun! Have you watched Mingmei's previous shows seriously?"

"This... I'm really ashamed!"

If it wasn't for Yuan Zhizhu's reminder, Lin Xiuyi probably wouldn't have realized this problem, that is, he never seemed to take the initiative to learn about Mingmei. Even if he occasionally saw Mingmei's figure on TV, Lin Xiuyi always jumped over it easily.

"Let me tell you something about when I first joined the Metropolitan Police Department, Shuichi-kun. At that time, like you, I entered the Metropolitan Police Department as an elite bureaucrat. The first case I encountered at that time was a corpse. In this case, the murderer dismantled the body of the deceased into eight pieces and threw it into the biogas digester. So on the morning of my first field trip, I spent the whole afternoon standing beside the biogas digester, watching those forensics classes. My colleagues fished out the fecal-laden corpses piece by piece from the pool."

"Although that scene was a bit cruel for a newcomer like me, I managed to persevere. Maybe it was because my performance was recognized by the seniors! At the end of the work that night, the seniors suddenly invited me to eat. Sukiyaki."

"When I saw the bloodshot pieces of meat mixed in the golden egg wash. I couldn't get rid of the shadows I left at work during the day. It was the first time I felt that eating sukiyaki was such a pain. However, because I was afraid of being seen by the seniors, I swallowed almost all of it~lightnovelpub.net~ The seniors quickly noticed my small movements. I remember that the senior put down his chopsticks and asked me if I was It's not that I don't like eating sukiyaki! I said, no, it's just because of my work during the day, so I can't eat it. I remember a sentence from my senior at that time that made me speechless."

"If I gave up my love for sukiyaki just because I was on the scene once, wouldn't there be less and less food to eat in the future? So I asked the seniors for advice on what to do."

"Why don't you go and watch the National Beautiful Girl Contest. If you can focus on those cute girls before going to bed, maybe you can have a good dream!"

"So...you mean!"

"Mingmei is not the first idol I love. In fact, my love for Mingmei is just so that I can eat sukiyaki without any worries. In addition, the National Beautiful Girl Contest is held every year. Do you understand what you mean? Xiuyi-kun!"
