"she…"

Okiya Subaru pricked up his ears, and Miyano Akemi held her breath.

"Her name is Miyano Akemi, and she is a very cute little girl just like you, Ms. Asai."

Okiya Subaru: "??!"

Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists.

Mingmei... the uncle in front of me really knows Mingmei!

He can't wait to learn more.

At this time, I only heard Tetsuo Imai recalling with emotion:

"Miss Asai, I can now answer your last question:"

"Actually, it wasn't until now that I suddenly wanted to kill someone. As early as 20 years ago, I wanted to do something to Sohei Dejima."

"At that time, all I could think about was how to kill someone."

"But at that moment...Miss Mingmei, who was still a little girl, appeared in front of me."

"She asked me innocently why I had such a scary expression, and asked me to smile more...so somehow, all the killing intent in my heart was dispelled."

A bitter murderer.

It was actually cured by Ms. Mingmei with a few words of "Simailu, Simailu".

Lin Xinyi heard something familiar:

Isn't this a weakened version of Mao Lilan?

So you are Miss Angel...

He looked at Belmod next to him calmly, and saw that she had a complicated look on her face that she felt the same way.

And Tetsuo Imai’s narration continues:

"It was her smile that stopped me at the last moment."

"And 20 years later, when I was about to attack Mr. Dejima again, her voice suddenly appeared in my ears—"

"Miss Asai, it's your voice that reminds me of her, and my murderous intent is dispelled."

"I regret it, I instinctively want to stop."

"It's a pity...it's too late."

Tetsuo Imai sighed deeply.

There was no desire for revenge on his face, only deep shame.

Miyano Akemi opened her mouth slightly with a complicated expression, but she didn't speak in the end.

And just then...

Okiya Subaru spoke suddenly, somewhat inappropriately:

"Mr. Imai, didn't you say that Miss Akemi who cured you 20 years ago was just a little girl?"

"Miss Asai's voice is not very similar to a child's voice anyway, right?"

"Huh?" Tetsuo Imai was slightly taken aback.

Lin Xinyi, Hui Yuanai, and Belmode all raised their vigilance again.

Even Akemi Miyano noticed something subtly with her eyes.

"Sorry, I'm just curious."

Okiya Subaru also knew that his question was a bit abrupt.

But no way.

Tetsuo Imai felt that Miyano Akemi had little to do with the case, so he didn't want to talk about this "Miss Akemi" at all.

He just said that Akemi Miyano cured him 20 years ago.

It didn't say what kind of relationship Miyano Akemi had with him.

Did not say why he met Miyano Akemi 20 years ago.

It also didn't say why they could still hear Miyano Akemi's voice after 20 years.

Since he can recognize Miyano Akemi's grown-up voice, then he should have seen the grown-up Miyano Akemi.

When did you meet?Where did you meet?When was the last time we met?

Tetsuo Imai didn't say anything about these issues.

And this guy happened to be a murderer.

He's about to be thrown into jail, so there's no chance for him to be questioned.

To make matters worse, Okiya Subaru knew in his heart...

Hayashi Shinichi also knows Miyano Akemi!

Maybe he didn't remember what happened more than ten years ago, and he didn't know that he and Miyano Akemi were classmates in elementary school.

But not long ago, he had cooperated with the police officer Jiang Gu in handling the case of "Masami Hirota".

It was because of that case that Okiya Subaru met Lin Shinichi and started to follow him.

So he knew that Lin Xinyi knew Miyano Akemi.

Now that I suddenly heard the name "Miyano Akemi", who knows if Lin Xinyi would think of that case and contact the Japanese police immediately?

If the Japanese public security intervened, he would probably never have the chance to find Tetsuo Imai to understand the situation.

So if you want to ask, you can only hold on for now.

Using Okiya Subaru's identity as a fool, he tried to understand the situation as much as possible.

"This..." Tetsuo Imai had some hesitation on his face, but he finally answered: "Of course I mean...Miss Asai's voice is very similar to the grown-up Miss Akemi."

"I understand that..."

Okiya Subaru sighed with feigned emotion:

"I want to say that since she still has contacts with you after she grows up, she is still by your side all the time."

"And she is so important to you, Mr. Imai."

"Even just hearing her voice can't help but stop the killer."

"Then why did you still feel murderous in the first place 20 years later, and went out of control to this last step?"

He put on a look of feeling sorry for Tetsuo Imai.

At the same time, the anticipation and urgency in his eyes were well concealed.

At this moment, Tetsuo Imai sighed softly:

"This may be a joke of fate."

"Actually, after the meeting 20 years ago, I tried my best to dispel the killing intent and calmly accepted my fate as Mr. Dejima's assistant.

"Since then, Miss Minmei hasn't seen me for 20 years."

"But just a few months ago..."

"But she suddenly came to Dejima-san's office—"

"By the way, speaking...Mr. Dejima and her father were childhood friends, and the house where he opened the designer's office was borrowed from her father."

"That house is actually her family's ancestral home, where her father grew up."

"So Ms. Mingmei's 'going home' that day is considered a long-lost time."

Tetsuo Imai unknowingly opened up the chatterbox, telling a lot of information that Subaru Okiya cared about very much.

"Anyway, she paid a surprise visit to the firm that day, still wearing her smile that hasn't changed in 20 years."

"That smile brought my dead heart back to life."

"I thought about the dream I was chasing 20 years ago."

"So I tried to ask Mr. Dejima to resign, and I wanted to hold on before I was old enough to retire, and then use my savings over the years to go out and make a fortune—"

"I've been his assistant for another 20 years, should Mr. Dejima let him go this time?"

"That's what I thought at the time."

But Sohei Dejima rejected him again.

Not only rejected him, but also mocked him very maliciously:

"Work alone? Hehe, your current level of creativity is not qualified to be an independent designer."

"It was about 20 years ago."

Deliberately suppressed and blocked him 20 years ago, forcing him into bankruptcy.

Twenty years later, they still laughed at him for not having the talent he had back then, and laughed at him for being too late to work alone.

Isn't this bullying honest people? !

Hearing this undisguised humiliation and the perpetrator's triumphant showing off, Tetsuo Imai couldn't suppress the killing intent that had been silent in his heart for a long time.

He thought of killing again, and after several months of entanglement and struggle, he was completely swallowed up by the anger of revenge.

"I originally thought that Miss Mingmei would appear in front of me again with her healing smile."

"And that's what she said—"

"When she visited the office a few months ago, she said that she would bring her sister to see us in a week."

"But Miss Mingmei never showed up, as if she forgot about it."

"My anger, too, after months of repressing and struggling... completely out of control."

Having said that, Tetsuo Imai let out a long sigh.

His story has been told.

"Put handcuffs on me."
