My Tokyo Love Game Has Big Problems

Chapter 157 People who pursue reality

"Feelings? Nothing."

Tamaki Hikaru shook his head.

"It's a pretty boring book. If I hadn't accidentally bumped into the name, I would have put it back after just one glance at it on the bookshelf."

"Ha, is that so?"

Ling Shijie's slightly childish face showed an inconsistent smile.

Tamaki Hikaru moved his chopsticks silently.

Apart from anything else, the food cooked by Ling Shijie was quite to his taste.

If you exclude her troublesome personality, she can get along well with Tamaki Mitsuru.

"Okay, for the sake of this book, I'll take care of your meal. After the meal, you can do whatever you need to do."

Although there has been some improvement, this guy is indeed troublesome.

"Hey, don't you suspect that that guy used the name of a character in the book to approach you and has some bad intentions?"

Ling Shijie was surprisingly thick-skinned despite his young age, so he continued speaking indifferently.

"I told you, I don't know him."

Hikaru Tamaki's acting skills have been gradually honed now. When he lies, his face does not turn red, his heart does not beat, and his eyes do not waver.

"No, you know him."

Ling Shijie said with great certainty.

"It makes no sense for you to deny it. This is my intuition as a detective."

"And you denied it too quickly. Although your tone and expression were firm, under normal circumstances people would be more or less curious and ask more questions."

"The more you reject me, the more it proves that you know the information I want."

Although her reasoning has no empirical support, it is enough to express her position.

"So, why don't you want to contact me? Let me guess."

Ling Shijie put a hand on the side of his face and tapped it gently with his fingers.

"You know her true face, but you still choose to protect her?"

"Were you seduced by that guy's flesh? After all, men can't resist women's tears, right?"

It seems to be a little bit accurate. Tamaki Hikaru did change because of Taniti's tears that day.

But of course this cannot be admitted, Tamaki Hikari changed his expression.

"Is there such a possibility? In fact, I am the witch's ally, and what you see is just my disguise."

He put his palm under the table, and when he brought it up again, there was a small dagger.

Tamaki Hikaru raised the corners of his mouth and showed a somewhat dangerous smile.

"Actually, I am also an evil prisoner. But now, you look so confident, but you just stepped into a trap."

"Kids, if you want to be Sherlock Holmes, you have to prepare your own escape route."

Detectives, reporters and investigators, professions that pursue the truth, all carry great risks.

I have to say that Ling Shijie was stunned for a moment when Tamaki Hikaru was so frightened.

"It's really possible, but how do you know I'm not prepared?"

Ling Shijie took out a button from his pocket, which was an emergency alarm device.

But after taking one look at it, Tamaki burst out laughing.

"You are in Tokyo, using the emergency alarm device in Europe? Are you sure it has a signal?"

"what?"

Ling Shijie glanced at the button in his hand and immediately panicked.

"Jie Jie Jie, it seems that you are going to be unlucky today, kid. You can continue to dream of being a famous detective when you get down there."

Playing a villain, Tamaki Hikaru is still a little bit good, mainly because he has been disemboweled a lot, and he can still turn the knife twice smoothly.

It's easy to ask and has rich experience. Tamaki Hikaru feels a bit like a butcher when picking up a knife.

Ling Shijie's face was still a little dazed, as if he was thinking about how to deal with it.

Seeing the blade gradually approaching her little face, she still stood there, motionless.

The cold blade was pressed against her face. Tamaki Hikaru waited for her reaction with interest, but there was no reaction for a long time.

He could no longer maintain the evil smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Facial paralysis is sometimes a gift.

"I'll go and give you some reaction? It makes me look bored, you know?"

In the end, Tamaki Hikaru, who couldn't hold back his expression, gave up, slapped the knife on the table, and sat back.

What else to do? You can't really marry Ling Shi and then hide his body under the bed, right?

It doesn't have to be so extreme.

He just wanted to scare her, and it would be best if he could scare her away, but she was sitting there with no fear at all, so what else was there to scare her.

"Huh? Well, your acting skills are so poor. Do you think you can scare me?!"

After realizing it later, Ling Shijie came to his senses, responded quickly, and pinched his thigh secretly.

It was so dangerous, she almost got betrayed. She didn't know how to deal with it just now.

"Tsk, although I was just pretending just now, don't mean that I can't do it."

Tamaki Hikaru shouted after taking a sip of water to relax his stiff facial muscles.

"Miss Naoko, or anyone else, please come out."

"Master Yucheng, do you have any orders?"

From the window, the headless maid whom Tamaki Hikari had seen once poked her head out.

"Do you need me to help you get rid of her? I like her head very much."

Although it was a kind smile, it was much more chilling than the evil smile Tamaki Hikari put on just now.

Especially the look in Ling Shijie's eyes was filled with an evil sense of greed and covetousness.

This is the difference between monsters and humans. Unless humans are extremely evil, they generally cannot compare to this instinctive difference.

"It's nothing. I just asked you to come out and take a look. If it's okay, you can continue to lie down."

".oh."

The little maid retracted her head in embarrassment. She thought she could get a new head.

Tamaki Hikaru turned around and continued.

"You see, I am a good person, but that doesn't mean everyone around me is a good person."

"If you investigated the network around me, you should know about it, right? This is Tokyo, isn't it?"

You must know that more than a hundred years ago in this country, there was an era when samurai killed people on the street and did not need to be responsible.

Privileges are restricted, but they are still privileges.

Ling Shi pursed her lips. Even though she was young, she still understood these things. "So, just go back honestly. I'm just covering you up, so what can you do?"

This kind of powerful happiness is really good.

Tamaki Hikaru took a sip of tea and squinted his eyes slightly.

"Listen to the big brother's advice, kid, the water here is very deep and you can't control it."

With words that are both soft and hard, isn't it easy to control a little kid?

"No, I will never leave here until I find that witch."

Ling Shijie shook his head repeatedly, refusing to accept Yu Chengguang's tactics.

"Besides, did I say what I was going to do? My goal is just the truth. Did I say I was going to bring that witch to justice?"

"Ok?"

Tamaki Hikaru was stunned for a moment and looked at the other party with some confusion.

"I am a detective, and the goal of a detective is only to discover the truth, not to find the murderer."

Ling Shijie blinked.

"Besides, that witch is so arrogant. She wrote several versions of her crime process and distributed them to the public. This is simply a provocation."

"No matter what, I will expose her witch act in front of her."

With her hands on her hips, there was some kind of passion in her eyes. Maybe she really regarded herself as a famous detective.

The prisoner openly wrote down his criminal process as a story and spread it and then escaped. This is undoubtedly a provocation to the detective.

What's even more disgusting is that she doesn't care if she writes seriously, but she uses magic to fool people at every turn, turning a good suspense story into a magical novel.

Fortunately, a talented detective like her has already seen through the narrative tricks buried in those words, and now he only has to expose her face to face.

"So we don't have any fundamental conflict, right? I just want to find the witch and expose her. I don't want to capture her, right?"

Well said, but I'm afraid you will be killed directly by Aitaniti.

Yu Chengguang gave her a slightly strange look, but some information revealed in Ling Shijie's words also made him a little curious.

"You mean she wrote a book about her crime and published it?"

"Yeah, isn't it very arrogant? It was originally an unsolved mystery, but she suddenly used a confession to stir up the so-called "Legend of the Witch"."

Ling Shijie nodded and told the rumors he had about Aitaniti.

It was originally a classic Blizzard Villa-style mystery, set in an old castle far away from the city, and combined with the weather of blizzard and road closures.

There are a total of seventeen people in the castle, including the owner's family, servants and friends, all of whom are dead under mysterious circumstances.

Originally, this unsolved mystery should have been closed directly, but soon the so-called "Confessions of a Witch" appeared in the eyes of the public.

It says that the eternal witch Aitaniti Mana turned the entire seventeen people in the castle into sacrifices for her resurrection. Such absurd content.

No one believed it at first, but when someone discovered that the content written in this so-called "confession" could perfectly reproduce the situation of the castle at that time.

A heated discussion was set off, with countless people discussing whether this was the real resurrection of the witch, or whether it was just a trick used by the murderer to hide the truth.

Since then, various "confessions" whose authenticity is difficult to distinguish have appeared, making the entire case even more confusing.

Among them, the various killing techniques and secret rooms are even more inspiring. This is indeed the idea that only magic can do it.

Tamaki Hikari probably understood it, and it was probably similar to the so-called urban ghost story.

It was originally just a bizarre unsolved case, but because of such a mix-up, it turned into a witch murder case, triggering heated discussions.

But is it necessary to mix things up like this?

After killing someone, he went out of his way to spread the story of his crime. No wonder a self-proclaimed detective like Ling Shijie would find this provocative.

However, I heard that criminals would return to the scene to watch their achievements. Maybe this is a similar mentality?

"So, don't you really want to help me? I just want to stand in front of her and tell her that I have solved her mystery."

The so-called witch's confession is more like a challenge letter from the murderer, proving that she can still get away with it while committing the tragedy of exterminating the family.

People who think they are smart can't bear this kind of provocation, so there are endless speculations about the witch's true identity.

Ling Shijie is naturally one of them, even the kind who is so fanatical that he is a bit crazy.

After discovering some clues, a man flew to Tokyo to follow the witch's footsteps.

Even Hikaru Tamaki had to sigh, what kind of top-notch naughty kid this is.

It's a good thing that she hasn't been found. If she is found, what will her small body do if she exposes the truth in the face of the evil witch who killed seventeen people?

Free gift?

Sure enough, he is a kind and good person, but he is not protecting Aitaniti. He is clearly protecting the naughty child Ling Shijie.

Seeing that Yu Chengguang still showed no sign of letting go, Ling Shijie rolled his eyes twice.

"Well, I, this detective, can do something for you. After I finish it, you can tell me about the witch. How about that?"

Ling Shijie also wanted to use inducements to impress Tamaki Hikaru, but now she is neither as rich as Tamaki Hikaru nor has any other conditions that can be used to impress him, so she can only rely on herself.

After all, she is also a detective.

"For example, the woman yesterday was obviously lying to you. Aren't you curious about what she was hiding?"

She also mentioned the Kita Chichi she met yesterday. That guy had indeed been hiding from Tamaki Hikari recently, and she didn't know what he was doing.

"No, I'm not curious about this."

Tamaki Hikaru suddenly put down his chopsticks and shook his head.

"But as you said, I do have something that may be of use to you. If you can help me solve it, I may not be able to tell you."

"What is it? As long as the detective can do it, I can definitely do it for you."

Ling Shijie's eyes were shining, as long as Yu Chengguang relaxed, all these things would be easy to talk about.

"I advise you not to have too high expectations. This matter is a bit more troublesome than your witch mystery case."

Tamaki Hikaru looked up and said.

"You know, I am an orphan, but I am in some trouble now and need information about my life experience."

There is no need to say more about the rest, Ling Shijie understands everything.

"Although this kind of thing is difficult, it's not a problem."

It is indeed a bit troublesome to find what happened more than ten years ago, but Ling Shijie still has confidence.

Everything is connected, and no one falls from the sky without roots or roots.

As long as you peel back the cocoon and search bit by bit, you can always find clues.

"But didn't you call that woman aunt yesterday? Isn't she a relative of yours?"

Ling Shijie thought of this incident and said.

"The world of adults is very complicated. Sometimes it doesn't mean that your loved ones will tell you the truth. Everyone has their own ideas."

Tamaki Hikaru sighed. It was not that he doubted Kita Chichi, but he could sense the other party's difficulties.

In this case, even if she was finally willing to tell him, it would probably be just a whitewashed lie.

On the other hand, an outsider like Ling Shijie, and a person who pursues the truth as his highest priority, should not be able to lie.

"So, you find out my life experience, and I help you find the witch. Is the deal established?"

"of course."

The petite detective finally showed a satisfied smile.
