"Has the District Prosecutor's Office decided to open up to Shiroyama Kotaro Net?"

"Hey, no way! The prosecution period for criminal cases has passed! Shiroyama Kotaro can no longer be held accountable... But... Shiroyama Shinsuke may be blamed this time."

"Shiroyama Kotaro has left the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Hey, he was picked up in the morning!"

...

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's slightly regretful words, Yuan Zhizhu didn't know how to comfort him for a while. However, this case is too involved, and it is no longer something that the Metropolitan Police Department can handle. Although the news of the Shiroyama family is reported in the media every day, Lin Xiuyi's work has become easier, and even Shiroyama Kotaro's case no longer needs to be investigated further.

"Okay, since I finally relaxed, isn't it just time to go back to accompany Mingmei! During this time, you and her have been working hard, right?"

Hearing Yuan Zhizhu's words of comfort, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. The matter of Jingzi is still like a dream to this day. Lin Xiuyi even once doubted whether he had done anything that night. But... what should be faced is still to be faced!

...

After saying goodbye to Yuan Zhizhu, Lin Xiuyi left the Metropolitan Police Department with mixed feelings. During this period of time, many cases have occurred one after another around the Hojo Congressman and the Shiroyama family. So Lin Xiuyi hadn't seen Mingmei for a long time. He only vaguely remembered that Mingmei seemed to have received a new job. It seems to be a morning drama related to Sakurako. To be honest, Lin Xiuyi still doesn't understand why Mingmei's new job has something to do with Sakurako.

...

"I am back!"

When Lin Xiuyi answered the house and habitually said to the empty room, unexpectedly, there was a sound of response from the kitchen.

"Hi! Welcome home, repair sauce!"

Suddenly seeing Mingmei in an apron appearing in front of him, Lin Xiuyi was really taken aback. He had not figured out how to confess the matter yet, and at this moment, he was most afraid of seeing Mingmei!

"Hey...why don't you seem to be feeling well, are you okay?"

"Um... um! Don't worry, but... it may be because of work, you... why did you suddenly come over today!... I... I don't think I heard you mention that you will come today!"

"Huh? Because I haven't been with Jian Jian for a long time, I really want to come and see! Could it be... Do you have any other plans tonight? Xiu sauce!"

"Ah...no...no!"

Lin Xiuyi replied to Mingmei with a slightly trembling voice. If Lin Xiuyi could see his face at this time, he would definitely feel very familiar. Because of those suspects who had dealt with Lin Xiuyi in the interview room, many of them had the same expression as Lin Xiuyi now. His face was pale, his eyes wandered, and he would subconsciously avoid the person who asked the question. Unfortunately, Mingmei, who is a layman, doesn't understand this.

"I felt that Xiu Jiang hadn't seen me for so long, and he would definitely want to see me right away, just like me! So, I ran over quietly and wanted to surprise you."

As Mingmei spoke, she happily rushed towards Lin Xiu. Then he wrapped his arms around Lin Xiuyi's neck and acted coquettishly. And Lin Xiuyi almost fell to the ground in a trance because of a ghost in his heart.

When Mingmei's affectionate kiss did not feel the same fiery response as before, she couldn't help but open her eyes with some doubts, and then asked Lin Xiuyi gently in a caring tone:

"Xiu Jiang, why are you... It's weird today, are you really not feeling well?"

"Ah...that...maybe I didn't rest! I'm so sorry, I..."

Hearing Mingmei's question, Lin Xiu ducked his head and lowered his head. However, in order to hide the panic in his heart, he still hugged Mingmei's body, and then walked to the kitchen step by step.

"Mingmei-chan...I...I have...an important thing to tell you."

Seeing Lin Xiu's tone of speaking to himself suddenly became solemn. Mingmei couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Because before this, Mingmei had never seen Lin Xiuyi as strange as today.

"What the **** is it? It seems to be embarrassing for Xiu-chan. Is there anything I can do?"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi's appearance, Mingmei seemed to want to say something very important, and immediately jumped off the table. At this moment, Mingmei suddenly found that Lin Xiuyi actually knelt down in front of her in the way of sitting on the ground.

"I'm so sorry, I... I betrayed your trust! I did something unforgivable!"

"N... Nani?"

Mingmei, who was taken aback by Lin Xiuyi's actions, couldn't help but hurriedly knelt in front of Lin Xiuyi, trying to help him up from the ground.

"Xiujiang, you...what are you talking about!"

"I...Miss Jingzi and I, I really failed Mingmei-chan's trust in me, I'm sorry!"

"Xiujiang, you...you're lying to me, right, no...don't be kidding, it's not funny at all! You...get up, I'm so hungry...let's have dinner together!"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi suddenly mention Jingzi, although Mingmei already understood what happened in her heart, she still held back her tears and tried her best to say the words of denial in a gentle tone~lightnovelpub.net~ At this time, he, I wish Lin Xiuyi would say something, those words just now were just a joke.

"You're lying to me, Xiujiang is so good, how... how could it be possible to treat me like this! And... Jingzi... Miss Jingzi is a very powerful person, she... how could she like Xiu Jiang, she must... ...You must be mistaken, you...you haven't seen me for a long time, and then work...work is tiring, you must have imagined it, Xiu-chan!"

"I'm so sorry, I..."

Seeing Lin Xiuyi still bowing her head and refusing to deny what she just said, Mingmei suddenly felt a feeling of being torn in two. She stood there silently, looking at Lin Xiuyi with aggrieved expression, her lips trembling silently. With tears in her eyes, she was speechless for a long time.

...

"You...you are too much, enough is enough...I...I don't want to see you again!"

When Mingmei finally said these words that contained infinite sadness, Lin Xiu heard a burst of hurried footsteps beside him. Soon, the door behind him was slammed shut. And Lin Xiuyi slowly turned to one side, and the whole person shrank into a ball silently.
