Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

The interrogator was Wataru Takagi, a gentle man who conducted the interrogation calmly and patiently, yet with a firm and unwavering strength that commanded the trust of those around him.

"Hmph, I'm a legitimate businessman, and my company is legal and compliant. Don't even think about framing me, you police!"

Officer Takagi nodded: "You're right. We police will not wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a guilty person go free. Two days ago, a case occurred in which a middle-aged man named Maki Kawashima died in his home. Do you know this man?"

The scarred man's eyes flickered slightly, but he then said coldly, "I do know that guy, but we haven't been in contact for a long time."

Takagi, however, remained calm: "Mr. Kuroda, I'm afraid that's not the case. As far as we know, you two used to belong to the same organization."

This Mr. Kawashima also worked for you. After the gang disbanded, you continued to engage in yakuza-like activities on several occasions.

The scarred man, Kuroda, sneered: "Is this how you police work? I haven't done any of this. If you have evidence, arrest me. If not, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

He was already cursing inwardly: "That piece of trash Kawashima is such a nuisance. He's dead, fine, but he dragged me into this too. Now the police are watching me, which is a huge problem. If they find any evidence, my company and I are finished!"

Outside the interrogation room, Inspector Megure, Shinichi Kudo, and Heiji Hattori stood together.

“Brother Kudo, this Kuroda is obviously a seasoned veteran. It won’t be easy to get him to talk. Besides, he shouldn’t have much to do with Kawashima’s death.”

Shinichi Kudo shook his head with a serious expression.

"That's not actually the case. I reviewed the case files of Kawashima Maki's crimes, and the sheer number of things involved was shocking. However, there were just too many people to be suspected, and it would be too time-consuming to investigate them one by one."

Just then, Hattori reminded me that Kawashima Maki had committed a crime that caught my attention: the incident in which my classmate Miyazaki Hayao was seriously injured and fell into a coma was done by Kawashima Maki. And I suspect that the mastermind behind him doing that was Kuroda Ichiro.

That's why I requested the police to summon him here to inquire about the details of that incident. If my guess is correct, this Kuroda Ichiro may already be on the death list.

Hattori Heiji scoffed, "You bastard, when I saw the case file, I thought of all of these things too, but it's impossible. When the incident happened, he was preparing for the competition. You didn't do it on purpose because you were jealous, did you? I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

Inspector Megure was startled when he heard this. It was clear that Shinichi Kudo had already placed his suspicious gaze on Yu Miyazaki.

"Brother Kudo, I know this Miyazaki Yu. Last time, when the robbers robbed the bank, it was thanks to him that they were subdued. Ran's mother, Eri Kisaki, was even saved by him. Don't suspect him without reason. Have you found any evidence?"

Shinichi Kudo shook his head: "The culprit was clever and left no evidence, which is why I wanted to lure him out. Because, apart from the already deceased Maki Kawashima, the real culprit who caused Miyazaki Hajime to fall into a coma back then was Ichiro Kuroda."

If this is a retaliatory action against that incident, this person will be key. First, search for evidence of Kuroda's crimes, and then observe.

The interrogation lasted less than twenty minutes before Kuroda's lawyer arrived, leaving the police with no choice but to temporarily release him.

That night, the police monitored the entire Kuroda residence and discovered that Kuroda was secretly transferring valuables. When he saw someone approaching, he started to drive away. In his panic, he drove his vehicle directly into the river.

By the time the police retrieved his body, Ichiro Kuroda had already drowned.

Inside the car, police found a wealth of evidence, including records of his drug trafficking dealings with gangsters, some soaked drugs, and a large amount of cash.

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Curtain Falls

"How could this be?"

Standing on the shore, Shinichi Kudo looked at the body of Ichiro Kuroda, which had been covered with a white sheet, and fell into deep thought.

With this person's death, all clues have been completely cut off. Whoever killed Kawashima Maki, all clues have now disappeared.

"This guy is really unlucky. He looks so arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be so scared just from being summoned."

And now your suspicions should be dispelled, right? Miyazaki Yu spent the whole day at home with your girlfriend Ran Mouri and her family, as well as Sonoko Suzuki and others.

Shinichi Kudo was also looking down at the photos Ran Mouri had sent him, lost in deep thought.

His mind was also in complete chaos at that moment.

From a young age, his intuition was sharper than others, so he had great faith in it.

Many cases seemed to have reached a dead end, but he could often find the key by relying on his intuition.

This case was bizarre and strange; he considered all the possibilities but couldn't find a single clue.

In a moment of unexpected joy, he discovered the name Miyazaki Yu!

In that fleeting thought, Miyazaki Yu immediately became a suspect!

This wasn't because he had paranoia, but rather a very subtle feeling, which could also be called a detective's sixth sense.

From the first time I saw this person, a strange feeling arose in my heart.

The other person is mature and knowledgeable, surpassing me in many fields. Moreover, the other person is very good at interpersonal relationships and flattered me from the very first meeting, making me feel very comfortable.

If this guy hadn't been so good to Xiaolan, I probably wouldn't have felt much jealousy; on the contrary, I would have trusted him completely.

He's starting to doubt himself, wondering if he's being overly sensitive, connecting unrelated people and events to the case.

But the facts before him forced him to believe it!

Under the glow of the night sky, Miyazaki Yu stood quietly in a room on the second floor.

Vermouth gently shook her hair, as if she hadn't yet recovered from being soaking wet.

"You little rascal, making a beautiful woman do such a thing, you're really not cute at all."

Miyazaki Yu gently put down his wine glass and took a small sip.

"Big sister, we are partners. Helping each other when necessary is the meaning of a partnership. I really have to thank you this time. With your help, I was able to do this so easily."

These things were clearly the work of the two of them again.

Vermouth smiled slightly.

"I just didn't expect you to know so much about those two detectives. As far as I know, you shouldn't have had much interaction with them."

Killing two people was not a difficult task for Vermouth.

The difficulty of the whole matter lies in how to turn murder into a natural death, and how to gradually dispel the doubts of the police after they have become suspicious.

Even the most difficult detectives will have deep self-doubt.

But with the two of them working together, they not only succeeded, but did so cleanly and beautifully, silencing all doubts with a perfect loop.

"Whether they are detectives or police officers, their methods of investigating the truth can only rely on the scope of normal people. As long as there is something that is illogical, they will subconsciously doubt their line of thinking rather than change their framework of thought."

Humans are prone to laziness. The reason I was able to deceive them wasn't because my case-solving skills surpassed theirs, but because my methods defied common sense!

Vermouth looked at his confident demeanor, but her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently hooked Miyazaki Yu's chin before kissing him with her fiery red lips.

Miyazaki Yu was feeling quite triumphant when he was suddenly ambushed.

She felt a fragrant breeze on her face, and a sweet kiss, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, disappeared from her face.

"what are you doing?"

Miyazaki Yu was startled as if he had been electrocuted, and in a flash, he was behind Vermouth.

Sister Bei only felt a blur before her eyes, and then the other person disappeared without a trace. Then she felt the other person behind her.

He cursed inwardly, thinking, "What a monster! It's so fast I can't even keep up with it!"

"Don't you like the gift your sister gave you as a reward?"

Looking at Vermouth, who was smiling at him, Miyazaki Yu felt a headache coming on.

This woman, who practices mysticism, is always unpredictable; the two of them just recently worked together to commit murder.

It's like they weren't cooking together, it's really baffling.

"Alright little guy, I won't tease you anymore. Here, take this."

As he spoke, he tossed over a small box, which was made of metal and looked very exquisite.

"This contains the key to my secret base. It's the only way to safely enter when I'm not around. You already know what it's for; it's my private training ground. You can train there whenever you have time."

I've left you plenty of firearms and ammunition there, including rifles and sniper rifles. In this era, while swords can still kill, the most efficient weapons are still these firearms. Don't neglect any particular weapon.

Miyazaki Hayao's facial muscles twitched. What do you mean by being good at one thing but bad at another? Is that a suitable term to use here?

However, no man can resist the temptation of a gun.

In my previous life, I lived in a peaceful environment and didn't have many opportunities to come into contact with those things. Now that I have the chance to have some fun, it's wonderful.

Just before leaving, Vermouth suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Xiaoyu, we're friends now. If one day I go to hell, I hope the person who sees me off on my final journey will be you."

Miyazaki Yu looked at her with a serious expression.

"Women just like to say sad things. We're partners. If you're really in danger, I'll be the one who dies before I kill you, because no one but me can kill you!"

Vermouth chuckled at his serious expression.

"Just kidding, just kidding. I'm a special case in the organization. No one can order me around except for those few adults, not even Gin."

Miyazaki Yu feigned curiosity and asked, "Gin? Is he a special figure within the organization?"

Vermouth clearly didn't want Miyazaki Yu to delve too deeply into the organization's secrets.

They subtly changed the subject.

"Perhaps so. There are many special people in this world."

Without looking back, he turned and left, disappearing into the night.

The next morning, Miyazawa Mie arrived and began tidying up the house.

"Boys really can't get by without someone taking care of them; they'll be a mess everywhere."

After returning yesterday, Miyazaki Yu once again personally cooked a very lavish meal to entertain the Mori family and Suzuki Sonoko.

Ran Mouri was already feeling quite embarrassed; they had just treated her to a meal, and now that she was back home, she was being asked to treat them again. It was really...

However, Miyazaki Yu naturally found the best excuse, which was Eri Kisaki.

To celebrate Miyazaki Yu's victory in the kendo tournament, he personally came to celebrate despite being very busy.

Miyazaki Yu naturally took the opportunity to call over Kogoro Mouri as well, putting these two bickering guys together—something even Ran couldn't do.

Seeing this, Xiaolan naturally knew that this was Miyazaki Yu's painstaking effort, and her heart was filled with gratitude.

Kogoro Mouri was actually quite happy, but he forced himself to explain that he only came because Miyazaki Yu had won the championship.

Eri Kisaki naturally understood this proud and arrogant girl, so she didn't expose her. The family sat down together and had a good meal, which helped to resolve many of the misunderstandings in their hearts.

The whole family is very grateful to Miyazaki Yu.

However, this naturally resulted in many dishes and utensils not being washed.

Ran wanted to help wash the dishes, but Miyazaki refused.
