Kurokawa Akane nodded. Although she failed to find out the truth, she had a feeling that they were on the right track.

After separating from Akane Kurokawa, Ryoma Esaki walked absent-mindedly on the way back to the rehearsal room, thinking about Akane Kurokawa's speculations.

If we completely trust Kurokawa Akane's profiling results, then the change in Hoshino Ai was not due to love, but because of maternal love.

But where does maternal love without love come from?

There is no doubt that Hoshino Ruby is indeed the daughter of Hoshino Ai.

Even if Ruby Hoshino has no memory of her birth, you can tell just from her appearance.

What's more, the test results show that Ruby Hoshino and Daiki Himekawa are related by blood, and they must have the same father.

And that mysterious father is most likely the real murderer who made Hoshino Ai pregnant and killed her.

While deep in thought, Ryoma Esaki had unknowingly returned to the rehearsal room.

But at this time, there were no other actors in the rehearsal room, only a cleaning staff was cleaning.

Ryoma Ezaki looked at the time and found that it had indeed been a while since the rehearsal ended.

He entered the rehearsal room and packed up his things. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and asked the cleaning lady.

"Auntie, did you see when the girl with blonde hair and red eyes left?"

The reason he asked this was because he was the one who took Hoshino Ruby home after rehearsals these days.

Of course, it’s called delivery, but in fact it only means delivery to the subway station near the theater.

After getting familiar with each other for these days, it is no problem for Ruby Hoshino to go to the subway station by herself to take the train home.

"That girl, she just left not long ago, with Mr. Himekawa."

The cleaner replied.

"With Mr. Himekawa?"

When Jiang Qiliangma heard this, he suddenly felt like something was stuck in his heart.

A strange feeling rose up from his body.

"Yes, Mr. Himekawa said he would take her home. I happened to meet them when they were leaving, so I came in to clean up."

The cleaning lady responded.

Ryoma Ezaki frowned, he took out his cell phone and found that Ruby Hoshino had sent him a message ten minutes ago.

However, at that time he was concentrating on listening to Kurokawa Akane describing her discovery and did not notice it.

Ryoma Ezaki immediately replied to a message, but after waiting for a few minutes, Ruby Hoshino still didn't reply to him.

Although he could not rule out the possibility that Ruby Hoshino was angry because he did not reply to her message, Ryoshin Ezaki's intuition told him that something was wrong.

He ran all the way to the entrance of the theater and asked the guard if he had seen Himekawa and Ruby.

The doorman told him that the two of them had just left together in a taxi.

Ryoma Ezaki asked the security guard to retrieve the surveillance footage, and after paying 30,000 yen, he got the license plate number of the taxi the two men took.

He immediately called the taxi company and, through a combination of threats and inducements, he tricked the customer service staff into giving him the taxi's movements over the past half hour.

When he saw the last location where the taxi stopped, Ryoma Esaki immediately realized that something was wrong.

His ominous premonition came true.

On the other side, Kurokawa Akane returned to the archive room and looked at the photo album that he had looked through countless times, and suddenly thought of something.

She opened the album and checked it again, and suddenly realized that she had made a mistake.

A huge oversight.

She and Ryoma Ezaki both believed that it was someone in the troupe who made Hoshino Ai pregnant, because Hoshino Ai became pregnant after joining the troupe.

But this is also Ryo Ezaki's preconceived notion. Because Kamiki Mitsuru is a member of the troupe, he thinks that the real murderer in this world is also a member of the troupe.

But it is also possible that the real murderer was only an associate of the troupe at that time, rather than an official member.

In this case, the real murderer could also meet Hoshino Ai in the troupe, but she would not remain in these group photos.

But when Kurokawa Akane changed her mind, she discovered a person in the group photo.

Himekawa Airi.

The mother of Daiki Himekawa.

The time when Airi Himekawa participated in the group photo was when Hoshino Ai had a child.

It can be inferred that after reaching this point, it cannot go any further.

Because Himekawa Airi died when Himekawa Daiki was five years old, and since Himekawa Airi is in the photo, it means that Himekawa Daiki was less than five years old at that time.

No matter how you put it, how could a child under five years old be the real murderer?

But Kurokawa Akane was unwilling to give up this clue, so he contacted old employees of the troupe to find out what happened that year.

"Oh? You asked Himekawa, that woman. Actually, that woman is very promiscuous by nature."

Although it was gossip that happened many years ago, the old employees still remember it clearly.

"I still remember that when she was in the troupe, she often secretly met with a strange handsome boy. She even brought that handsome boy to the troupe. She didn't even tell anyone about her affair."

"That little... um, do you know what the name of Miss Himekawa's lover is?"

"I'm not sure about that, but I think Himekawa's child is most likely hers and that handsome boy's!"

The old employee continued to gossip on his own.

But this is of no use to Kurokawa Akane, because the blood test results of Himekawa Daiki and Hoshino Ruby have already confirmed this.

They are all the children of that mysterious lover.

"In fact, when Dahui was still young, I couldn't confirm it, but when he grew up and returned to the troupe, I knew at first glance that he must be my lover's child. They look exactly the same!"

Hearing these words, Kurokawa Akane's brain suddenly exploded.

Could it be that......

Kurokawa Akane quickly flipped through the photo album again, but she did not look at the time when Hoshino Ai had a child, but flipped from the most recent to the past.

Finally, when she turned to a certain year, she stopped.

This is Daiki Himekawa's first year in the troupe.

According to the calculation of the year, he should be seventeen years old this year.

But judging from his appearance, Himekawa Daiki back then was not much different from now, just a little younger.

It is not uncommon for people to mature early, and if Kurokawa Akane didn't think about it that way, he probably wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But if my guess is true...

Kurokawa Akane took out his cell phone and dialed Ezaki Ryoma's number.

-----------------

"Master, can you go faster?"

In the taxi, Ryoma Ezaki urged anxiously.

"Guest, this is the fastest."

"Go faster and I'll pay for your speeding ticket."

"It's not about the fine, it's that I can't drive faster..."

"Snapped!"

Ryoma Esaki threw out a stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi.

He had anticipated this situation, so he took it out before hailing a taxi.

Fortunately, there is an ATM at the entrance of the theater, which was originally used for the convenience of the theater's audience, but now it helps Ryoma Ezaki.

"... can only go 10 yards faster."

"Snapped!"

Another stack.

"My dear, I am embarrassed by your behavior."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Ryoma Ezaki threw three stacks in a row.

This is already most of the income he has accumulated as an actor in this world.

It’s useless after the mission is completed anyway, so I might as well use it all now.

"Boss! Just watch! Today is the F1 season. I will overtake you!"

They sped all the way to the last stop of the taxi that Ruby Hoshino was riding in, and Ryoma Ezaki got out of the car.

This is a cemetery.

Ruby Hoshino's mother, Hoshino Ai, is buried here.

It is definitely impossible for Ruby Hoshino to bring Daiki Himekawa to worship her mother for no reason, so the taxi could only be here because Daiki Himekawa brought Ruby Hoshino!

Ryoma Ezaki walked quickly into the cemetery when suddenly the phone rang.

"Hey! Ezaki-kun, it's Himekawa! He's not Himekawa!"

"What is Himekawa's and what is not Himekawa's? Calm down, is it true or not?"

Ryoma Esaki asked as they hurried on their way.

"Yes, the real murderer is probably the Himekawa we know."

Kurokawa Akane calmed down a little and explained as briefly as possible.

"But he is not the real Himekawa. He took over the identity of Himekawa Daiki and got into the troupe!"

-----------------

On the other side, in front of Hoshino Ai’s grave.

Ruby Hoshino looked at Daiki Himekawa who was paying homage in front of the tombstone with a look of shock on her face.

Why, why does this man know where his mother's grave is?

Hoshino Ruby had a terrible guess.

"Love, do you see? Your child has grown up!"

"She didn't grow up to be a twisted child because of your death. This is a cause for celebration."

Himekawa Daiki, no, the mysterious man pretending to be Himekawa Daiki said with a smile, not looking like he was worshipping at all.

"is it you?"

Hoshino Ruby questioned through gritted teeth.

"Are you the one who killed my mother, my biological father?"

"You can understand that."

The mysterious man's tone was calm.

"You bastard!"

Hoshino Ruby said angrily.

"Why? Why did you kill Mom? Why!"

"Why? Because of you."

The mysterious man stood up, turned his head, and looked fierce.

"Why do you think I, Shen Mu Guang, would pretend to be my own illegitimate son in order to hide my identity?"

"My daughter, this curse from the past, how can I allow you to continue to exist?"

Looking at the gradually approaching Shenmu Guang, Hoshino Ruby finally realized that she was afraid.

The cemetery was extremely eerie at night, with no one around.

Shenmu Guang was attacking her at this time, and she, an unarmed girl, had no way to resist!
