My new wife discovered my past

Chapter 238 236. Sakuraba Miki contacts again and confirms the murderer!

The interweaving of light and shadow made Watanabe Toru seem to forget the passage of time.

Fortunately, he was mentally strong enough and would check the time on his phone every once in a while.

It was surprisingly consistent, with half an hour passing exactly each time. From 3:30 to 5:00 in the afternoon, I checked my phone three times and confirmed the time every half an hour with incredible accuracy each time.

Watanabe Toru only attributed it to luck and did not agree with the fact that he subconsciously recited the number three times for 1800 seconds.

He looked up at the glamorous female singer on the stage. In Watanabe Tetsuya's eyes, he saw not only the appearance of Haruka Hoshimi, but also the Asahina sisters who had subtly influenced and integrated the temperaments of the three women with the help of Haruka Hoshimi's body, blending and harmonizing them, without any concealment, and all of them were revealed.

This is a fact that Toru Watanabe had discovered and noticed a long time ago. Even though "Hoshimi Haruka" herself had never said anything like this, people around her who knew her better could see it at a glance.

The change in temperament is not the most obvious thing. What is really impossible to ignore is her beautiful voice and understanding of music theory. She is completely a replica of Rina and Yuna.

You know, before, Hoshimi Haruka was born with a tone-deaf voice and knew nothing about music...

Therefore, Toru Watanabe couldn't help but ask himself this question:

Is the current "Haruka Hoshimi" still the original Haruka Hoshimi? And is she really just Haruka Hoshimi?
Let’s not discuss the shell and body of Hoshimi Haruka, and only explore the soul and the leader in this body…

"She" is definitely not the original Haruka Hoshimi from nine years ago!

Watanabe Toru tried his best to speculate the best. Hoshimi Haruka's soul and consciousness were only influenced by the Asahina sisters and were tainted with some of their aura, so her temperament was mixed with a bit of Rina and Yuna.

This is also what "Haruka Hoshimi" told Toru Watanabe and Mari Hidaka, and this is what she showed on the surface.

Mari Hidaka agreed with her niece's words without any doubt, and Toru Watanabe had to agree after meeting Rina and Yuna.

It's just that... the suspicions that have taken root and grown over the years have finally blossomed and borne fruit. Watanabe Toru has always had a bold guess, and now he has to face it...

That is--

It seems that in this body of Haruka Hoshimi, the souls and consciousness of three girls, Haruka Hoshimi, Rina Asahina and Yuna Asahina, coexist. Generally speaking, Haruka Hoshimi is in charge of daily life, while Rina and Yuna can occasionally snatch the right to use and control the body.

This is what "Xingjianyao" told me, but who can check and confirm that it is really true?

Whatever the specific situation is, it is just the one-sided statement of "Xing Jianyao".

Toru Watanabe also had to consider the possibility that she was lying.

In that pure, charming and elegant guest's delicate and tender body, is it that from time to time there is only the soul and consciousness of Haruka Hoshimi or Rina and Yuna?
If Watanabe thought even darker, there had only been one of the three girls' souls and consciousness all along. Hoshimi Haruka on weekdays, and Rina and Yuna who occasionally came out to breathe fresh air, were all just the performances of one of them...

She could be Haruka Hoshimi and Yuna, or Rina who always behaves harmless and innocent, or even more likely a new soul and consciousness formed by the fusion of the three of them, namely "Haruka Hoshimi"...

The most prominent chair in the center front of the stage, where light and dark are intertwined and the division of light and shadow is particularly obvious, has Watanabe Tetsuya's figure crossed in it, clearly in black and white.

His sitting posture remained unchanged, with his head slightly raised as he stared, trying to see through Hoshimi Haruka on the stage.

Yet nothing could be seen.

The man sighed in his heart and could only try to think positively. No matter what the situation was, the person in that body would only be his most familiar sister...

Of course, it is impossible to rehearse an entire evening concert that is estimated to last at least two hours in just one and a half hours.

Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.

Since Toru Watanabe is here and has been sitting under the stage watching for an hour and a half, it won’t be too late to wait for another half an hour to watch Haruka Hoshimi finish her rehearsal before leaving.

The woman on the stage tried her best to show her most perfect side, and dedicated his own solo concert to herself in advance. She tried her best to please him. Even if it was for the sake of being able to meet Rina and Yuna better next time, Watanabe Toru would not just get up and leave.

Doing so would be to humiliate Hoshimiya Haruka in front of her team and subordinates, and in full view of all the staff in the venue.

If they were ordinary friends, they would directly evolve into enemies who would never have any contact with each other and hate each other to the core.

The current "Haruka Hoshimi" is different from Saotome Hazuki, Kujo Sakura and any other woman in Tokyo and Kyoto. Her identity is extremely special, and it is worth it for Toru Watanabe to treat her in a different way and with a different attitude from other women.

After patiently listening to Hoshimi Haruka's entire rehearsal, Toru Watanabe counted in his mind and found that there were 19 songs in total.

Most of the songs were copied from popular songs in his previous life in order to fulfill Rina and Yuna's dreams.

It has to be said that entertainment works are universal in any parallel world.

What looks good is good-looking, and what sounds good is good-sounding.

However, even with the help of many top singers and hit songs, Haruka Hoshimi could only barely fight against Kanade Shiina on equal terms.

This naturally included Yuna's interference, who deliberately disrupted Hoshimi Haruka's live singing many times, causing broadcasting accidents, which led to the outside world and ordinary people's suspicion of Hoshimi Haruka.

But we can also see Shiina Kanade's terrifying strength from the side.

Shiina Kanade was born with disabled legs and had to spend her entire life in a wheelchair. As compensation for this, she had an extraordinary talent for music.

But what makes Watanabe Toru curious is that generally speaking, the number of songs in a concert, not counting the songs that the fans in the audience enthusiastically call for "encore", the singer, his team and the organizer will choose a number of ten songs, or a multiple of five, to control the time and insert activities in between to adjust the atmosphere. For example, Haruka Hoshimi only sang 5 songs...

Could it be that he is hiding something?

Watanabe Toru thought about it carefully and felt that the probability of this happening was very high. As for why he wanted to hide a poem... the reason was obvious!
They are definitely planning to cause trouble at the concert tomorrow night, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be targeted at him!
Watanabe certainly has his reasons for making this guess. Presumably, after investigating him, Hoshimi Haruka found out that he would go to her concert with Noriko and other friends tomorrow night.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone straight to the coffee shop yesterday.

Even if she didn't know this information, as long as Xing Jianyao invited her to the concert tomorrow night, wouldn't that be a clear sign?
As if to verify Watanabe Tetsuya's guess, the first thing Hoshimi Haruka did after the rehearsal was to walk off the stage and go straight to his seat.

"Xiaoyao is so happy~! My brother actually watched Xiaoyao's rehearsal!"

With so many people around, Hoshimi Haruka would not be so disgusted as to give her brother Toru a close hug. She just stood in front of the seated Watanabe Toru with her hands behind her back, bringing a gust of hot and fragrant wind, tightly surrounding the man.

Even so, the female assistants who automatically formed a crescent-shaped semicircle on the periphery were extremely shocked by the man who was smiling happily and deliberately lowering himself to please the man sitting there.

Can they really be considered brother and sister?
No matter how I look at it or smell it, the atmosphere feels wrong!
"I'm just giving you some face. Now that the rehearsal is over, you won't use any other means to force me to stay, right? I want to go home." Watanabe Toru reminded her that both parties should give each other room and not go to extremes.

"I didn't expect to see my brother's tsundere side again... Xiaoyao is really super satisfied today!" As for Watanabe Tetsuya's warning and reminder, Xingjian Yao naturally understood it. She waved her hand and said:
"Xiaoyao is not like those women like Saotome and Kujo Sakura. They have no sense of propriety and don't know when to stop...

"Don't worry, from now on, until the next two days, if nothing unexpected happens, Xiaoyao will no longer have any requests, orders, or deals with her brother~
"Brother can go home now and spend some time with his fiancée, Miss Kiko!
"As for Kujo Sakura and Yanagihara Nao... Xiaoyao will try her best to restrain them and will not let them disturb the happy and sweet daily life that brother and Miss Noriko finally have..."

Hoshimi Haruka's assurance undoubtedly hit Watanabe Toru's sweet spot. Unlike Saotome Hazuki, who was playing both sides of the fence, she became a fence-sitter faster than anyone else and had no integrity at all, making it impossible for Watanabe Toru to trust her.

Hoshimi Haruka is an honest woman from Amami-naka Town. She almost never lies to her brother Toru, so Watanabe Toru can naturally trust what she says.

"I feel at ease with Xiaoyao here. Contact me if you have any problems." After a fierce game yesterday that they hadn't played against each other for a long time, Watanabe and the female singer added each other's contact information.

In order to prevent Kiko from finding anything wrong on his phone, Watanabe changed the note of Hoshimi Haruka to a male colleague of the Jiunomiya Group.

My male colleague is a fan of Haruka Hoshimi, so it makes sense to use her photo as his profile picture, right?
"Brother, wait a minute!" Hoshimi Haruka grabbed Watanabe Tetsuya's hand, forcing him to take the first step back.

Knowing that if a sweet date is given, it is necessary to immediately increase the stakes, exploit and squeeze it ruthlessly, and take back the benefits, Xing Jianyao invited Brother Toru who looked back:
"Brother will come to Xiaoyao's concert tomorrow night, right?
"Xiaoyao...wait for your brother!!"

◆

Toru Watanabe followed the timid female assistant who was in the car yesterday out of the Tokyo Dome, silent all the way.

The young assistant just lowered his head and walked slowly in front, without even the courage to look back at Watanabe Tetsuya or say a word to him.

Watanabe Tetsuya looked at her short and thin figure from behind. Her iconic twin ponytails were tied back and swayed gently. Maybe she tied the twin ponytails too rigidly and too hard, and the hairline in the middle was clearly visible.

It was very strange and sudden, but Toru Watanabe saw from the assistant's back the shadow of another girl who was more lolita, cuter and thinner than her.

Thinking of the thin body of Momozawa Mitsu'e lying in the cold morgue, that was the last time he saw her, Watanabe Tetsu's blood alternately flowed in a cycle of cold and heat, making him remember it all the time -

Momozawa Mitsue died because of him, Watanabe Tetsuya!
The rest of the walk was even more eerie and silent, and the young assistant lowered his head even lower.

After walking out of the venue, Toru Watanabe found that his car was parked at the place where he and Haruka Hoshimi got off.

I have to say that Hoshimi Haruka's arrangements were really comprehensive. Watanabe thought he had to take the tram or subway to find his car first, but he didn't expect that Hoshimi Haruka didn't mention anything and arranged for someone to drive over privately.

This was also one of the reasons why Xing Jianyao showed kindness to him on a daily basis. It happened occasionally during those years in Kyoto. It was much better than what she did with the other three and a half women.

Why three and a half?
Because that woman Saotome Hazuki has a seizure every day and her attitude towards Watanabe Tetsuya is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

She was the type who, while torturing and abusing Watanabe Tetsuya, would slap herself hard on the mouth with her palm, and whispered "I'm sorry, I love you, forgive me" over and over again in Watanabe's body and in his ear like a yandere...

It's very uncomfortable.

Sitting in the car, Watanabe Tetsuya couldn't help feeling depressed. He touched the steering wheel with both hands and was reluctant to start the car. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Toru Watanabe didn't like smoking either. No matter how stressful he was during those years in Kyoto, he never relieved his stress by smoking.

The car logo on the steering wheel and the flashing red mechanical spider brought Watanabe back to reality.

Sakuraba-san came to see him again!
Teacher Watanabe's mood suddenly became high spirits. He drove quickly out of the underground parking lot and came to the ground. After bathing in the orange setting sun, he took out his mobile phone and typed on the memo to show it to the high-tech spider.

[Good evening, Sakuraba-san. You contacted me suddenly this time. Is there anything else you want to tell me?]
What else could Sakuraba Miki say on the other side of the camera? Her personal maid Kobayashi Iori was not by her side, so she had no choice but to reply according to the reason given by the man.

[Yes, I hope I didn't disturb Mr. Watanabe, right?]

[No.]
Sakuraba-san on the other side of the smart terminal was silent for a long time. She was thinking about what she should tell Watanabe-san under the current circumstances?

Not wanting to cause trouble, Sakuraba Miki had to take out the information she had collected without any interference. This should be what the teacher wanted most at the moment.

[Are you asking Mr. Takahashi to investigate the death of his college classmate, Momozawa Mitsu'e?]

After seeing the reply, Toru Watanabe sat up straight, typing a little slower than usual, confirming the messages he had sent one by one.

[Yes, does Sakuraba-san have any information? Please tell me!]
The message sent back made Watanabe Tetsuya feel relieved, and his eyes burst into endless murderous intent.

[Yes, there is some news]
[It has nothing to do with that Jiu Gong Ying guy, she is just watching the show from the sidelines]
[It has nothing to do with Hazuki Saotome and the Crescent Moon Group. This is just a shield used to confuse you, Mr. Watanabe.]

[However, it was too late to do anything after the incident. The tricks left behind were extremely obvious, and the deception was also extremely crude.]

[The Death of Momozawa Mitsu’e…]
[Written by Matsumoto Hitomi and Yanagihara Nao]
[Hitomi Matsumoto proposed a specific plan, and then Nao Yanagihara used the Yanagihara family's power and influence in the Metropolitan Police Department...]
[This led to the tragedy of Momozawa Mitsu’e]
[Teacher Watanabe, please accept my condolences…]
