The Advent of the Infinite King

After a long silence, Taeko Matsuyama gritted her teeth, bowed her head and said, "Yes, when I was in high school, my parents died in an accident, and it happened to be a period of rebellion at that time..."

Everyone was silently listening to Matsuyama Taeko's almost mournful voice.

"I don't go to school every day, just hang out with some bad friends. Anxi is one of the friends I made at that time..."

Having said that, she turned to her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, at that time, there was a commotion caused by the theft of expensive priestly utensils from the warehouse of our shrine. Do you still remember?"

Hisaku Matsuyama nodded.

"It was all my fault. I accidentally told Anxi about the priest's utensils, but that guy..."

"What did you say!" Hisaku Matsuyama looked at his granddaughter incredulously, "Why didn't you say it right away."

Matsuyama Taeko shrugged her shoulders in vain, lowered her head and said loudly: "I wanted to say, but I..."

"At that time, Mr. Sugiyama, who was in charge of the warehouse, blamed himself very much, and committed suicide because of this. I was really scared and couldn't say anything."

"From then on, I decided to cut off contact with Anxi and the others, and went to school very seriously. I buried all these painful pasts in my heart, and I hoped to forget everything."

"Because I want to marry Yu Er." Her voice was full of unimaginable grief, "I wanted to create a beautiful and happy family with him, but that guy just appeared at this time!"

Officer Mu Mu suddenly asked: "Then you were blackmailed, right?"

"Yes." Matsuyama Taeko nodded, "He said that I was also an accomplice in that matter, and I must be responsible for Mr. Sugiyama's suicide."

"Several times I thought that if this continues, my marriage with Yuji will be ruined by him, so I made an appointment with Anxi to hand over the money to him here at around 09:30 tonight."

"However, I took a knife and threatened Anxi back. I told him not to appear in front of me again, but that guy jumped at me angrily. The switchblade was just..."

Having said that, Taeko Matsuyama knelt down slowly, and cried bitterly, "I really didn't intend to kill him."

Shimazaki Yuji squatted down slowly, hugged Matsuyama Taeko and whispered in her ear: "Because I found Taeko looked a little strange when she went out, so I pretended to go out to buy cigarettes and followed her."

Speaking of this, he took a deep breath, and then continued: "When I arrived at the shrine, I found that Anzai was dead. He wrote the word Matsuyama in blood on the floor at hand."

"So I figured Taeko killed him, so I set to work as a disguise, wiped the fingerprints off the knife, took Anzai's watch off, and took it back to the hotel."

"Later, as Mr. Mori reasoned, although it would be enough to erase the bloody words, but I remembered Mr. Nachi was threatened by Anxi during the day, so I added a few strokes in those words."

Then, Matsuyama Taeko burst into tears in his arms.

The next morning, Shimazaki Yuji's body was salvaged from the nearby coast by the police.

Because it was expected, Xie Chen was not surprised, since he had a premonition when Taeko Matsumoto was arrested.

Sitting on the sofa in the detective agency, Xie Chen shook his head lightly. He suddenly felt as if he had changed from a killer to a god of death, unintentionally deciding the life and death of people.

During the breakfast time, he always felt that he had killed Yuji Shimazaki. He recalled the reasoning last night sentence by sentence, and every sentence made him feel that if he said it cleverly, he might be able to save him from death.

But after thinking about it, it may not be the case, because Yuji Shimazaki has already made up his mind. Now that he has the determination to take the blame for his fiancée, no one can stop him from committing suicide by jumping into the sea.

The weather outside is sunny, summer has come here, as long as it doesn't rain, it's a pretty comfortable season.

"The murderer Yuda who was caught by the reasoning of the famous detective Mori Kogoro escaped from prison last night..."

On the opposite sofa, Mao Lilan was reading a newspaper: "Tang Tian has always acted meticulously. Last time, he cleverly used a trick to try to kill his wife Keiko in order to obtain insurance money."

"After Mori Kogoro's investigation, he finally saw through the trick and arrested him." Mao Lilan raised his head and said, "What should we do now?"

"What?" Mori Kogoro asked.

Mao Lilan said: "It would not be terrible if Dad was retaliated against."

"revenge?"

"Yeah, didn't he gritted his teeth and said that he would repay you well at that time?"

Mori Kogoro leaned on the chair and said, "It's okay, Xiaolan, don't worry."

"Why do you look like you don't care." Mao Lilan stood up from the sofa, "The person who is regarded as the target of revenge is you, Dad."

Mori Kogoro said with a smile: "They escaped with great difficulty, so they will not risk being arrested again and stay in Tokyo. They have already fled abroad by now."

"That's right..."

"Okay, I'm going to handle the case."

"I want to go with you too!"

"Where to?"

Mao Lilan patted the table and said, "Xie Chen, come with us."

"Why?" Xie Chen blinked.

Mao Lilan said, "Because we are Dad's bodyguards."

Later, they came to the Tokyo Racecourse, not so much to handle the case, but actually just to watch the horse race.

It was already twelve o'clock in the noon when they went back. Although the goddess of luck didn't favor him when he was betting on a horse, he really saw the goddess of luck on the way back.

Chapter 61 The Woman in Trance

"Lady Luck is back!"

Lady Luck did not appear, and a woman came crookedly down the steps of the overpass.

The woman was wearing a professional suit and skirt. She looked tall, with a slender figure and good-looking legs. She wore a blue crystal pendant around her neck.
