Tokyo: There's something wrong with this narration!

Chapter 483 482: Tsuboi Ikki's Love
The blue velvet night sky is dotted with stars.

The summer breeze blew, bringing with it a faint earthy fragrance.

In the open-air hot spring pool, Tsuboi Kazuki was enjoying some alone time with his son. He was gentle, modest, and polite, completely different from the rumored criminal godfather, which made Shirakawa feel a little dazed.

Is this really the same person or is his acting so good that he can fool everyone?

"You really can't be with Akagi Chihiro."

Tsuboi Ikki said slowly, "Because she is your sister."

Shirakawa found it a little unbelievable. Akagi Chihiro was her sister? Could it be that Tsuboi Ikki was the one that Akagi Aoi couldn't forget? Wait, she seemed to have said that she gave birth to 6 children for her husband.

Could it be that I have six brothers and sisters?
Or is it only Chihiro Akagi and the children born to him and Akagi Aoi?
"These are all arranged by your grandfather, but I don't like life in the Akagi family."

Tsuboi Ikki said, "Your grandfather did this at the time because he wanted to take advantage of the Akagi family. Unfortunately, none of the children born to Aoi satisfied your grandfather. Later, in order to get rid of your grandfather's control, I chose to leave Aoi and return to Aika. Later, you were born."

Have you ever been controlled?

So, Akagi Aoi and Kobashi Aika are both Tsuboi Ikki's women, then why do they have completely different attitudes towards him?

Strictly speaking, the marriage between Akagi Aoi and Tsuboi Ikki should be considered a scandal in the Akagi family.

But every time Akagi Aoi mentioned her husband, her expression was very gentle. I guess the days she spent with Tsuboi Kazuki were very sweet.

Just for the glory of the family and the future of Chihiro Akagi, she could never tell others that Chihiro Akagi's father was Ikki Tsuboi. She could only sever her relationship with Ikki Tsuboi, guard Chihiro Akagi alone, and announce to the public that Chihiro's father was dead.

And Tsuboi Kazuki is a person with a strong desire for control. How could he allow his life to be controlled by others?

The reason he left Akagi Aoi and returned to Kobashi Aika was probably not because of love, but because of his character.

Aika Kobashi did not feel love from him, but more of a despair of being controlled.

So the two women had completely different attitudes toward him.

"Why did you come out?"

Baichuan asked the question he wanted to know most.

Tsuboi Kazuki looked at his adult son and said with a smile, "If I said it was to attend your wedding, would you believe it?"

"Chiyuki Yuto wouldn't allow the Godfather of Crime to show up at his daughter's wedding, you should know that."

Bai Chuan said.

"Then kill him, how about that?"

Tsuboi Kazuki asked in a gentle tone.

"If you have such thoughts, you should go back to prison."

Bai Chuan said.

"I was just joking, Shirakawa. Your lack of a sense of humor is nothing like me."

Tsuboi Kazuki said with a smile.

"This is such a ridiculous joke that I can't even smile at."

Bai Chuan complained and asked, "Why did you come back? Mother doesn't welcome you. She has her own life now. You shouldn't disturb her."

"I just felt that I had to come back and see her."

Tsuboi Ikki lowered his head, as if thinking about something. He looked at the tea leaves floating in the black tea and asked slowly, "Will you leave Chiyuki Mei?"

"No, but my feelings for Mei are different from your feelings for your mother."

Baichuan also picked up a cup of black tea and took a sip.

“Of course, we went both ways.”

Shirakawa found it difficult to understand what Tsuboi Ikki said.

"I really envy you, Baichuan. I often feel lonely because there is no one in this world who can understand me."

Tsuboi Ikki sighed,

"I really want to be like a normal person and have an ordinary family."

"We can never be ordinary people. Mother will never forgive you, and I can never be as kind and filial as you are."

Shirakawa directly broke Tsuboi Ikki's fantasy.

The reason why he could chat calmly with Tsuboi Ikki was entirely because he was not Kuraki Shirakawa, but Shirakawa.

He didn't feel that Tsuboi Ikki owed him anything, nor did he regard him as a father, but as an opponent.

That's why they get along so well.

"hehe."

Tsuboi Ikki smiled faintly.
"Do you want to hear my story?"

"it is good."

Shirakawa has handled many cases and met many people, but he is the first person as complicated as Tsuboi Ikki, who is difficult to understand and even the identification technique cannot fully identify.

He is willing to listen to the suspect's confession and find loopholes in his past experiences in order to solve Tsuboi Ikki's perfect crime.

The news report said that the real murderer from 18 years ago had been found, a man named Ise Shoji, who buried the body in the yard of Tsuboi Kazuki's house.

This man, who died half a month ago, confessed everything in his suicide note, and the remains of other victims were found in the warehouse of his home.

Baichuan didn't believe it.

If Tsuboi Ikki was wrongly accused, why did he keep silent about it all these years? Why didn’t he defend himself?
Tsuboi Kazuki held the teacup in both hands and said slowly,
“My birth was a mistake.

“My mother was a dancer.

“Her union with her father was devoid of any love, and was nothing more than a man’s idle amusement.

"My mother had suffered several miscarriages before she got pregnant with me, and the doctor told her that if she didn't give birth this time, she would never have children in the future.

"It was because of this sentence that my mother gave birth to me despite my wishes." My mother knew the disparity in status between her and my father, so she did not go to find my father, but raised me alone with great difficulty.

"Before I was 5 years old, my mother started to entertain different men in order to support me, and she went from being a dancer to a real prostitute.

"Her love was great and selfish, and I was numb and slow. I could not understand her feelings for me, like a patient who was born without emotions.

“I heard her crying at night and it was very tormenting because I couldn’t understand how she felt, until she became ill and could no longer take care of me.

“She took me to the Takahashi family, but was turned away because of my humble status.

"My mother sent me to an orphanage out of despair. She told me that she was going to a faraway place and asked me not to miss her. She also told me to grow up well in the orphanage and to live in the sunshine in the future and not to live in the darkness forever like her.

"I remember every word she said, but I can't remember her face. I knew she was going to die, and I followed her silently until I saw her jump into the river and commit suicide.

“I saw her in the river, looking at me with despair, and she smiled.

"That was her final choice, I respected her, and I returned to the orphanage alone.

“This orphanage is not as good as my mother thought; it looks glamorous, but is actually full of evil.

"The children in the welfare home were divided into three levels. The high-quality ones were the illegitimate children of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. They lived a life of ease and comfort. The middle-quality ones were children of humble birth but good looks. They became playthings for high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and were called first-class commodities. The low-quality ones were children of humble birth and poor looks. They could only be used as materials and had their organs taken away. They were called second-class commodities.

“I grew up in this kind of environment, which closed my heart and caused problems with my vision. The world was in black and white.

"The orphanage gave all the children an intelligence test, and I was no exception. My result surprised the director, who said that the orphanage had a new genius. I was not sold as a mediocre product, but was favored by the director.

“Because I was too smart and naturally emotionally dull and numb, I was isolated by the children in the orphanage, and only one child was willing to interact with me.

“Her name is Ajia. She’s another genius in the orphanage.

“She told me not to rebel against the dean and if I wanted to leave here, I should try to join them and become their cadre.

"I said, I don't want to leave, even if I am sold as a commodity, it doesn't matter, I have no attachment to such a life.

"She said, then let me be your attachment, let me be your spiritual support, let me guide you in your confused life.

"I think she's very interesting and she has beautiful eyes, like my mother, which makes me feel comfortable with her.

"Perhaps to make me feel warm, she liked to have physical contact with me frequently. She said she wanted to be the sun and warm me.

“My cold heart did feel the warmth. I don’t know if this is love, but she did walk into my heart. From then on, the world was still black and white, but she was colorful.

"I think I was healed, not by her alone, but by her and my mother together. They healed me and made me feel the warmth again. It was the first time I wanted to protect someone. I regarded her as everything to me.

"Later, a pair of foreign scientists wanted to adopt a boy with an IQ of over 140. The dean wanted to sell me to them because they offered a very high price. Aijia told me that she had a way to make me stay and become their cadre, provided that I followed her arrangements.

"She told me about the Shibata brothers, and together we worked out a plan for Shibata Hiroki's escape. But on the night of Shibata Hiroki's escape, she sold the news to the director in exchange for the director not sending me away. She and I would help the director stabilize the order of the welfare home. The director agreed and made us his special assistants.

"She said she was different from me, that she cared about other people's opinions, and that she liked the feeling of being surrounded by people. I said I didn't mind, so everything she did was recorded in my name. I'm used to enduring those strange looks, so it's nothing.

"When she was 10 years old, she told me that she was chosen to be a commodity and asked me to help her leave the orphanage. She had already chosen a family, but the family chose the illegitimate daughter of a high-ranking official. She said that after she was adopted, she would persuade the family to take me away so that we could be together forever.

“So on the day when the Xiaoqiao couple adopted their child, I lied to a girl who looked a bit like her and got her adopted successfully.

"After she left, she never returned to the orphanage, which made the director very angry, so he put her information on the list of organ matching candidates.

“Three years later, I saw the list and chose to burn down the orphanage to protect her.

"Because in these three years, she never came to the orphanage to see me, nor did she let the couple who adopted her adopt me as agreed. I knew I was deceived by her.

“She probably just wanted to use me all along.

“After the orphanage burned down, my autism became more severe and I developed deep depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

"Because I was the only orphan who survived, the government asked other orphans to take me over. At their request, I started receiving psychological treatment, and I met the psychiatrist Ms. Momose Kaori.

“She saw my talent and not only treated me with all her heart, but also taught me a lot about psychology.

“She said I looked like her dead child and that she loved me selflessly.

"After a year of treatment, I recovered. But Ms. Momose Kaori was murdered.

“So, in order to repay my kindness, I investigated the cause of her murder on my own, and eventually helped the Metropolitan Police Department solve a serial murder case.

“After that, whenever the Metropolitan Police Department encountered a case, they would come to me for questioning, so I simply became their special consultant.

"Until I was discovered by Takahashi Kita, he began to contact me frequently, and I learned about my life experience, but I didn't want to return to the Takahashi family, so my grandfather said that as long as the lady of the Akagi family and I gave birth to an heir for him, he would let me go.

“In order to get rid of his harassment, I agreed. In my opinion, except for Aijia, any woman is the same, and it makes no difference who she gives birth to.

"At first, Akagi Aoi and I had no feelings for each other, but as we spent more time together, I gradually accepted her. She gave birth to a child for me, and I enjoyed a rare peaceful life.

"But it's a girl. Grandpa doesn't allow the future head of the Takahashi family to be a daughter. I can't stand his control either. I asked Aoi if she was willing to go with me. Maybe I would become a poor man with nothing.

"Aoi said that she didn't want to, she wanted to stay in the Akagi family, and she wanted to prove to Takahashi Kita that her child would become the head of the Akagi family in the future and would be no worse than a boy.

“Perhaps the women in the Akagi family are all strong, so I separated from her.

“I like freedom, it’s the only thing I have.

“On a rainy day, I met Aijia again. She saw me and recognized me at first sight. She rushed into my arms and told me that she had killed someone.

“She killed her adoptive parents because her adoptive father wanted to violate her and her adoptive mother did not stop him.

"She got angry and picked up a knife and killed them. She never came to the orphanage to see me because she was imprisoned by her adoptive father.

“I helped her bury her adoptive parents, cleaned up the scene, and brought her back to my place.

“I knew she was lying to me, but I couldn’t turn a blind eye to her because in my eyes, she was the only one in color.

“Later, when I was investigating a serial murder case, I discovered her abnormality.

"She was indeed abused in her adoptive parents' home, and the abuse caused her psychology to become even more distorted. She always wanted to kill people. She got pleasure from killing.

"When she found out that I had suspected her, she confessed to me, promised that she would never kill again, and told me that she was pregnant with my child.

"So, I became her shadow again, took the blame for her crimes, and went to prison."
