Tokyo: There's something wrong with this narration!

Chapter 482 481 Love is intense

"Shirakawa-chan, please let me go to work today."

This is already the seventh day that Chiyuki Mei has been enjoying a deep love. The girl's clear eyes are filled with a hint of tenderness unique to women, making her already stunning face even more beautiful, like God's most outstanding work of art.

She bit her lip lightly and spoke in a pleading tone, gently pulling the quilt with both hands.

"Mei, I've already finished your work for you. You don't need to go to work today. And can you really walk to the company in this state?"

Shirakawa hugged Chiyuki Mei from behind and spoke gently.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Chiyuki Mei sobbed aggrievedly, and now she could only walk with the help of the wall.

She never thought that love could be so intense.

"what happened?"

Shirakawa didn't expect Chiyuki Mei to cry because of such a thing, and began to blame herself and reflect.

He should be more gentle, this is Mei, his future wife.

"I'm sorry, Meiyi, it's all my fault, please stop crying."

"Woo, it's not because of this."

Chiyuki Mei rubbed her eyes.

"what is that?"

Bai Chuan asked curiously.

"I haven't had a rest for seven days."

"Sorry, it is my fault."

"That's not it."

"what is that?"

"Xiaoye hasn't shown up in the past seven days. It seems like she has left me."

Chiyuki Mei said while crying.

Baichuan was slightly stunned, then leaned close to Qianxue Mei's ear and whispered, "Do you really want her to come back?"

"Of course, Xiaoye is my best friend."

Chiyuki Mei nodded seriously.

"But she has the same feelings as you, can you accept it?"

Bai Chuan asked.

Chiyuki Mei bit her lip, frowned, and thought hard.

"If it's about sharing Shirakawa-chan's love with Xiaoye, I think I can do it."

Mei Chiyuki feels that with such an intense love, it would be nice to have someone to share the burden.

But she seemed to have forgotten that she and Xiaoye were two personalities of one body.

"Really?"

Bai Chuan asked again.

"Well, Shirakawa-chan, do you have a way to get Xiaoye back?"

Qianxue Meiyi asked.

"You can try it."

Bai Chuan nodded.

"Brother, sister, aren't you going out today? Lingzi misses you so much."

There was a knock on the door and Ono Reiko's voice came in.

Obviously, the two had decided to adopt her, but she suddenly disappeared.

To be precise, they are not missing, they just hide in the room and don't go out, and don't see anyone. I really don't know how they survived these days.

Ono Reiko's greatest record was being locked in a closet for two days without eating and not starving to death.

They have already reached a full 7 days.

Reiko Ono was afraid that she would suddenly lose such a good brother and sister, so she knocked on the door of the master bedroom despite the servants' dissuasion.

Considering that Chiyuki Mei really needed to rest, Shirakawa picked up the shirt and casual pants thrown on the sofa, put them on, opened the door,

"Reiko, my sister needs to rest, don't disturb her."

"I feel relieved to see that my brother and sister are still alive."

The naive Reiko breathed a sigh of relief.

"Reiko, has Sister Takehara been taking good care of you recently?"

"Yes, Takehara-sister and the maids are very nice people. Not only did they make delicious food for me, they also bought me a lot of toys. My room is almost full of them."

Ono Reiko said happily.

"That's good."

Shirakawa touched Ono Reiko's round little head and pinched the flesh on her cheeks.

"Not bad. In just half a month, you've gained about four or five pounds."

"Huh? Has Reiko gained weight?"

Ono Reiko asked nervously, covering her face with her hands.

"Children are cute when they are a little fatter."

Bai Chuan comforted.

"Then Lingzi should strive to grow into a 100-pound fat girl."

Reiko Ono wants others to say she is cute because her parents never say that.

Baichuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Being too fat is not good. The current condition is very good. What we want is health."

"Ah, okay."

Ono Reiko lowered her head in disappointment, as if she had missed a way to become cute.

Shirakawa took Ono Reiko downstairs and received a call from Takahashi Yoshito.

"Finally I answered the phone, Master, what have you been busy with these past two weeks?"

Takahashi Yoshito was obviously a little resentful. He called Shirakawa no less than twenty or thirty times, but all the calls were rejected.

"Sorry, there have been some issues with the phone lately."

Baichuan told a harmless lie. He couldn't say that he had cut off social contact in order to accompany his girlfriend, right?
Takahashi Yoshito obviously didn't believe it, but his current identity was awkward. Not only was he the director of the Metropolitan Police Department, he was also a member of the Takahashi family. He had no right to ask what Shirakawa was doing.

So he chose to speak frankly without further investigation.

"Master, watch the news."

Shirakawa opened the mobile browser and the hot search headline was "The real murderer of the 18 serial murders 33 years ago was arrested, and the criminal godfather Tsuboi Ikki was not the real murderer!"

Then I saw a lot of related news.

"The criminal godfather Tsuboi Ikki was released on bail after being wrongly imprisoned for 18 years"

"Special Advisor Ikki Tsuboi cleared of suspicion, the real murderer was caught by the law"

"Who is the Godfather of Crime? The Metropolitan Police Department's Biggest Scandal!"

"Ikki Tsuboi held a press conference, declaring that he would not sue for rights protection, and only hoped that the media would not disturb his life"

Bai Chuan rubbed his eyebrows.

What was surprising was not that Kazuki Tsuboi was released on bail.

It was the completeness of the chain of evidence that even Shirakawa, who had been a criminal police officer for many years, could not see any problems.

Is this what Meiko Aoi planned? She actually did it and rescued Ikki Tsuboi from prison.

"Master, what do you think about this matter?"

Takahashi Yiren asked.

"Director, you should call me Kuraki-kun or Shirakawa. I'm more used to it."

Bai Chuan said.

"Baichuan, he's out."

"Yeah, I know. It's all reported in the news."

"Why did he come out?"

Takahashi Yoshito didn't understand why Tsuboi Ikki could endure 18 years in prison and suddenly come out. Was this also part of his plan?

"I think no one wants to be locked up forever, especially a proud person like Kazuki Tsuboi. He must have been waiting for an opportunity."

Bai Chuan analyzed.

"What time?"

Takahashi Yiren asked.

"I don't know. I don't know him that well."

Bai Chuan said.

"Okay, I'm just informing you of this. Be careful. I'm afraid he will come looking for you."

Takahashi Yoshito was a little worried that Shirakawa would be influenced by Tsuboi Ikki.

"Thank you, Director. Nothing else. I'll hang up now."

"Well, Shirakawa, bye."

The two hung up the phone, and Baichuan checked the email messages in his mailbox.

I found the message that Miko Amei sent me a few days ago.

[Father has come out. He wants to see you, Shirakawa-chan. He is waiting for you at the old place.]

Shirakawa wanted to pretend he didn't see it, but he was very curious. Why did Tsuboi Ikki choose to be released from prison now?

Is he really waiting for Ueomiko?
Without relying on Miko Agao, he can't leave?

Impossible, he must have found those evidences long ago.

He could have been cleared of the charges 18 years ago, so why did he stay in prison for so long?

Shirakawa left Ono Reiko to Takehara Mitsutomu, went upstairs again and returned to the room.

"Mei, I'm going on a long trip, do you want to go with me?"

Chiyuki Mei nodded.

"No hurry, wait until you are in better condition, then we will go, tomorrow."

Shirakawa planned to let Chiyuki Mei rest for a day and set off again the next day.

Because before that, he still has to solve the riddle of the Riddler.

What old place?
He and Kazuki Tsuboi were almost strangers who had only met twice, so how could there be any agreement at the old place?

If we must talk about the connection between the two, it would only be Shirakawa's mother, Tsuboi Kazuki's former childhood sweetheart Kobashi Aika.

Tottori Prefecture? Is he in Tottori Prefecture?

Or was it the apartment he chose for himself, Liuxia Apartment?

Shirakawa called Ueyoshiko,
“Is he in Tottori Prefecture?”

"Yes, Shirakawa-chan, he missed mother very much, so he came to Tottori Prefecture. You should come too, so that our family can finally be reunited."

Miko Ueio said in a gentle tone.

"family?"

Shirakawa repeated the word suspiciously.

"Yes, Dad, Mom, sister, you. Well, actually I have always regarded myself as your sister. Please forgive my overstepping of authority."

"Didn't you say you were my mistress?"

"It's all."

Meiko Ueo said gently, "Forbidden love between a sister and a brother, doesn't it sound great? This is exactly the subject of my next novel."

"By the way, my father asked you to bring your fiancée with you. He really wants to see what kind of person you like."

"Didn't he arrange that?"

"Father did not arrange your life. Father just made the best choice for you. I heard that you are now Akagi Chihiro's fiancé. Father feels it is necessary to correct this mistake."

"why?"

"You'll know when you get here."

Miko Ueio hung up the phone.

Baichuan looked at his phone and fell into deep thought.

The next day, in the morning.

He and Chiyuki Mei took ANA from Haneda Airport and arrived at Tottori Sand Dunes Conan Airport after 1 hour and 10 minutes, and then took a bus to their destination.

Chiyuki Mei was a little nervous along the way. Although this was not the first time she traveled alone with Shirakawa, the meaning of this time was completely different.

Baichuan wants to take her to meet his mother.

Chiyuki Mei has already made up her mind as a wife and is determined to please her future mother-in-law and never let Shirakawa be caught in the middle.

"Shirakawa-chan, do I look good in my outfit today?"

"Well, it looks good."

"Shirakawa-chan, do you want me to put my hair up? A ponytail or just like that?"

"It will be all right."

"Shirakawa-chan, I picked out a gift, would you like to take a look first?"

"Mei, you don't have to be so nervous."

Baichuan put his hands on Qianxue Mei's shoulders and looked at her seriously. "You are the most perfect in my eyes. You don't need to deliberately make any changes. Just be yourself and don't think about pleasing anyone. There is no one here who needs you to please. Their position in my heart is not even one percent of yours."

Chiyuki Mei was stunned for a moment, her cheeks slightly reddened.

Baichuan's words inexplicably made her feel at ease.

She nodded heavily, "I understand, Shirakawa-chan."

The two walked through the green grass and along the country road. After walking for about 20 minutes, they finally saw a familiar courtyard.

A three-storey self-built villa.

Shirakawa remembered that the last time he came here, Kobashi Aika was drying clothes in the yard.

The Shiba Inu seemed to smell a familiar scent. It rushed to the fence gate, wagging its tail and barking.

"This dog seems to know you."

Qianxue Meiyi said.

"Well, I was here once, although it wasn't a good memory."

Shirakawa said calmly, pushing open the wooden gate.

The Shiba Inu surrounded him and Chiyuki Mei and sniffed them, then came over with its tail in its mouth and a wooden plate in its mouth.

Shirakawa threw the wooden plate out, and the Shiba Inu happily rushed over to pick it up.

Shirakawa took Chiyuki Mei across the yard and came to the gate.

Looking at the closed door, Baichuan hesitated for a second.

"Come on, Shirakawa-chan."

Chiyuki Mei said in a low voice.

Bai Chuan squeezed her hand.

He rang the doorbell.

The person who opened the door was the writer's wife, Miko Ageo, who had short shoulder-length hair, a slightly round face, a sweet appearance, and a gentle temperament.

When she saw Shirakawa and Chiyuki Mei, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Shirakawa-chan, Mei-san, you're here."

"Hello, Mrs. Ueyoshi."

Although Mei Chiyuki was a little surprised, she still spoke politely.

Miko Ueo nodded slightly and led the two into the house.

Sitting on the sofa was a familiar yet unfamiliar middle-aged man.

His black hair was combed meticulously, his features were clear, his facial features were deep, and his dark brown eyes seemed to reveal endless sadness, like a down-and-out aristocratic poet.

There are some tiny fine lines at the corners of his eyes, but they do not affect his appearance at all. Instead, they make him look more mature and reserved.

He was Kazuki Tsuboi, but this time he was not wearing prison uniform, but a simple shirt.

Next to him, the middle-aged woman sitting had long black hair tied into a ponytail with a silk scarf, and wore a long blue floral dress. She was not a very beautiful woman, but she gave people a comfortable and close feeling.

She is Aika Kobashi.

The two sat together quietly, like an ordinary couple.

However, Shirakawa could sense Kobashi Aika's slightly trembling hands.

She must be in great pain, right?

This was the demon she feared the most, and yet he was sitting next to her unharmed.

Shirakawa glanced at Kobashi Aika with sympathy.

"coming?"

Tsuboi Kazuki looked at Shirakawa and spoke in a natural tone.

It was as if they were a normal father and son.

He had a humble smile on his face, which made Chiyuki Mei feel a lot more relaxed.

"coming."

Baichuan responded calmly.

The two sat down on the sofa opposite Tsuboi Kazuki and Kojima Aika, who seemed to be in harmony but were actually estranged.

"Is this your fiancée?"

Tsuboi Kazuki asked gently.

"Uncle and aunt, hello, I am Qianxue Meiyi. It's our first meeting. Please give me your guidance."

Chiyuki Mei immediately introduced herself nervously.

"What a pitiful child."

Kobashi Aika said.

In her opinion, both she and Chiyuki Mei were destined to live a miserable life.

Tsuboi Ikki ignored Kobashi Aika and instead asked about Shirakawa and Chiyuki Mei's daily interactions and school matters, as if it were an ordinary family gathering.

Miko Aoi made black tea for everyone and sat down next to Shirakawa, occasionally joining in their conversation.

This scene seemed unreal. Shirakawa didn't know why Tsuboi Kazuki's acting was so superb. Everything was just right, as if he had never been absent from Shirakawa's life, as if he was not the psycho-killer that everyone was afraid of.

They had dinner together and took a hot spring bath.

Of course, they were separate hot springs. Aika Kobashi was in the same hot spring with Mei Chiyuki and Miko Ageo.

Shirakawa is with Tsuboi Kazuki.

"So, what does Akagi Chihiro have to do with me?"

Shirakawa remembered that Ueyoshi Miko once said on the phone that it would be a mistake if Chihiro Akagi became her fiancée.

Tsuboi Ikki picked up the tea and took a sip.
"She really can't be your fiancée."
