Chapter 681 The So-called Light in Life

Chief Inspector Megure sighed: "So that's why you want revenge?"

"That's right!" Mifune Ryuichi clenched his fists. "We targeted Zenan first because he was the least vigilant. I didn't expect..."

After killing Zenan, Utakura Akiko suddenly found Mifune Ryuichi and said that she knew everything he had done, but would not tell anyone else.

Ryuichi Mifune recalled that before his death, Zenan said that there was another woman attending the party. Although he did not ask the name, Ryuichi Mifune was very sure that the woman was Akiko Utakura.

He suddenly looked at Park Zhimu Hexiong with resentment and said fiercely: "I originally planned to kill you. The secret room technique during meditation was prepared for you. But..."

He slammed his fist against the wall. "That woman, the woman who killed Xiao Huang, actually dared to threaten me, so I chose to kill her!"

"You are wrong!" Suddenly, a soft but firm voice sounded.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound in surprise and found that it was the timid-looking Izumi Maho.

Being watched by so many people, Izumi Maho took a step back in fear, but still gritted her teeth and said, "The person at the party that day was not Miss Akiko, it was me!"

"You're lying," Mifune Ryuichi was stunned, "Then why didn't Zenan tell you your name?"

After telling the truth, Izumi Maho heaved a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Maybe it's because Mr. Zenan doesn't even know my name..."

"He never seemed interested in a plain, unremarkable woman like me..."

Inspector Megure looked at Park Nobuki and asked, "Is this true?"

Park Zhimu Hexiong nodded: "It's true, so I thought the murderer would be her..."

Inspector Megure asked dissatisfiedly: "Why didn't you call the police?"

It would be understandable if Park Noki Hexiong, who colluded with Hirasaka Yoshiki, did not call the police, but why didn't Izumi Maho call the police either?

Izumi Maho covered her head and cried bitterly, "Because I can't believe that Miss Xiaohuang would disappear like this..."

Izumi Maho was bullied in school and became timid and introverted, and finally she started to stay indoors. The reason why she can live an ordinary life like this is because of the appearance of Mahara Kou, who became the light in her darkness and gave her courage.

Therefore, Izumi Maho didn't dare to call the police. If she did, the truth would be revealed, and she would have to accept the fact that the light in her life had disappeared...

She was very afraid that she would fall into darkness again. As long as the truth could be kept secret, she could continue to deceive herself that Ya Yuanhuang was still by her side.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Izumi Maho fell to the ground with her face covered, and kept apologizing to Mifune Ryuichi.

Yagawa Hiroshi sighed deeply and said with regret: "Ms. Akiko... If only she hadn't threatened Mifune, she is obviously the most innocent..."

Park Zhimu Hexiong stared, but did not dare to look at Yagawa Hiroshi, and cursed in his heart: She is innocent, do you want me to die?

If Hiroji Yagawa could hear what he was thinking, he would probably curse: Don’t you deserve to die?

"No." Youye suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked over in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Yuya sighed and said quietly, "Although this truth is a little sad, I'm afraid... Miss Akiko likes Mr. Mifune, right?"

"What?" Mifune Ryuichi's face suddenly changed.

Yuya said slowly: "Didn't you feel any doubt when you killed her? Why didn't she resist? The autopsy results also showed that there was no sleeping pill in her body..."

Ryuichi Mifune suddenly recalled that when he was strangling Akiko Utakura, the other party didn't seem to resist at all.

"Difficult, could it be that..."

Youye sighed, closed his eyes and said, "When she said she wouldn't tell anyone, maybe she wasn't threatening you, but...she really wanted to protect you?"

"The reason why she didn't resist was probably because she felt desperate when you attacked her and chose to give up her life."

"Impossible..." Mifune Ryuichi fell to his knees, looking at his hands in disbelief, "Did I... kill an innocent person who was sincerely protecting me?"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it! This is impossible!"

After learning the truth, Ryuichi Mifune was unable to accept the result. He collapsed and banged his head against the floor, shouting "I don't believe it!"

Soon, bloodstains appeared on the ground - Sanchuan Longyi used so much force that he broke his head.

Takagi Wataru and Chiba Kazunobu quickly stepped forward to restrain Mifune Ryuichi and lifted him up.

And Ryuichi Mifune did not resist. His eyes lost their light and he was held in the hands of the two men like a torn sack.

Inspector Megure sighed, and then thought of something, and asked Yuya: "But why did he set up this room as a secret room?"

Youye thought for a moment and said, "This is just my personal guess... The rumors on the Internet may not be groundless. After all, there is no smoke without fire. Could Miss Xiaohuang's body really be hidden somewhere in this meditation room?"

"If the method used to lock this room has not been solved, the police might speculate that there is some secret passage or something like that, and thus conduct a thorough investigation of the room, and perhaps they will be able to find the body."

Afterwards, the police also dismantled the meditation room for investigation, and indeed found Ya Yuanhuang's body under the floor...

···

The case was successfully resolved.

Everyone gathered in the restaurant and waited until the police handled the scene and took everyone back to the Metropolitan Police Department to take statements.

Miyano Shiho made a few cups of coffee in the kitchen and came to the restaurant with a plate: "I made some coffee, everyone have some."

"Oh, that's great, I'm almost dying of sleepiness!" Hiroji Yagawa was the first to rush over, picked up a cup of coffee and started drinking, but he was so burned that he stuck out his tongue.

Everyone laughed.

Miyano Shiho glanced around and saw Izumi Maho sitting in the corner, exuding a decadent aura.

He thought of something, sighed softly, picked up a cup of coffee and walked over.

"Would you like some?" Miyano Shiho handed over the coffee.

"Ah?" Izumi Maho looked up in surprise, took the coffee blankly after seeing it, and then quickly lowered her head, "Thank you."

Miyano Shiho thought about it and sat down next to her.

Izumi Maho moved to the side a little bit uneasily, seeming a little nervous.

Miyano Shiho didn't care and said, "Actually, I can understand how you feel..."

Izumi Maho raised her head in surprise: "You... are you also?"

Miyano Shiho smiled and shook her head: "My situation is different from yours. But in fact, we have similarities. You regard Miss Xiaohuang as the light of your life, and I also have my own light."

"Your own...light?" Izumi Maho was a little absent-minded. She recalled the heroic and confident figure at the crime scene and forced a smile on her face, "Is it that boy?"

Miyano Shiho nodded slightly: "It's him."

Izumi Maho lowered her head, stroking the warm cup and said, "Well, he is indeed a shining person, just like Miss Xiaohuang."

"Hmm?" Miyano Shiho looked at Izumi Maho warily, "Don't you dare to take advantage of him."

"Huh?" Izumi Maho looked up in surprise, looked at Miyano Shiho's serious expression, and laughed, "I didn't mean that... But I really envy you..."

Miyano Shiho understood what she was talking about and said with a smile: "Although Miss Xiaohuang is gone, you are still here, right?"

"I think Miss Xiaohuang must be a warm and sunny girl. If she saw you like this, she would definitely grab your face and say, 'Cheer up!'"

Izumi Maho was stunned, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head, covered her mouth and sobbed, saying: "You are right... I should cheer up."

Miyano Shiho patted her shoulder gently and said softly, "Well, cheer up, and help her as well."

"Mio! Where are you? We are about to set off!" Yuya's voice suddenly sounded outside.

"I'm coming!" Miyano Shiho responded, said goodbye to Izumi Maho, then got up and left.

At the entrance of the villa, Youya was holding his mobile phone and texting with someone. He turned around and saw Miyano Shiho and smiled brightly.

"Let's go, we can go home now."

Miyano Shiho tilted her head and said, "Don't we still have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement?"

Yuya smiled smugly and pointed to the police car outside: "With the relationship between Inspector Megure and me, there is no need to go through so much trouble. I have already taken care of everything just now."

"Let's go home!" Youye stretched out his hand to her.

Miyano Shiho raised her head slightly, looking at Yuya standing against the light, and in a trance she seemed to see again the scene of the morning sun shining on his face that day.

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a bright smile.

"Well, let's go home."
