Regardless, it has already happened and there is no point in regretting it.

The most urgent thing is that he must go home quickly to see Kato Megumi and explain what happened last night.

Although he felt very guilty towards Hui and did not dare to face her, he could not hide such things from his wife because he had decided not to lie to Hui again.

After making up his mind, Lin Hezhen hurriedly washed, dressed, and left the room.

After walking out of the hotel door, the cold wind mixed with rain blew in his face, making him shiver.

Lin Hezhen tightened his collar and walked quickly to his car, ready to drive home.

Just then, a police car came roaring over and stopped in front of him with a creak, blocking his way.

Two policemen jumped out of the car and walked towards Lin Hezhen. One of them took out his ID and asked coldly, "Are you Lin Hezhen?"

"That's right. What can I do for you?" Lin Hezhen asked in confusion.

"You are suspected of murder. Please come back to the police station with us for investigation!" Another policeman with a thin mustache showed handcuffs and handcuffed him without any hesitation.

"What? Murder?!" Lin Hezhen was stunned, and then became angry, "I don't understand what you are talking about! How could I kill someone?"

"Do you know Hayasaka Ai?" asked the policeman with a mustache.

Lin Hezhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

He never expected to hear Hayasaka Ai's name at this critical moment, and an ominous premonition came over him.

"She died early this morning, and you were her last contact."

"......How could this be?" Lin Hezhen's heart trembled and his expression instantly collapsed.

"Get in the car, we'll talk about it when we get to the police station."

The two policemen held him down, put him into the police car, quickly locked the door, and drove away.

Lin Hezhen sat in the back seat of the police car in a daze, his head buzzing and he completely lost the ability to think.

Hayasaka Ai... is dead?

how so......

He recalled the good times he had with Hayasaka Ai. Even though their relationship was a little twisted and they didn't date for long, that time was still an unforgettable memory for him.

Even though he and Hayasaka Ai broke up, they were still friends and close partners who had worked together for many years.

They helped each other at work, worked together, and together they got through the difficult years when the company was first starting out.

How could such an excellent and beautiful young girl...

Lin Hezhen's heart twitched violently, and it felt like being pricked by a needle.

"Little love..."

He clutched his chest and murmured the girl's name.

......

On the other side, at the police station, Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai's family, who were the first to receive the news, were identifying the body.

Hayasaka Ai's family had already collapsed. Her mother cried so much that she fainted several times. Her father also hugged his wife and cried loudly. Her other brothers and sisters were all very emotional.

In order to maintain public order, the police had no choice but to ask them to rest in the reception room.

The only two people who stayed here were Kaguya Shinomiya and Utaha Kasumigaoka who served as the forensic doctor.

"Come and see her for the last time. Aren't you her childhood sweetheart? Say goodbye to her properly."

Kasumigaoka Utaha lifted the white cloth covering the corpse and said to Shinomiya Kaguya.

Shinomiya Kaguya stood silently for a long time before slowly walking to Hayasaka Ai's body.

Hayasaka Ai lay on the cold dissecting table, her face pale, her eyes closed, and her limbs stiff.

The once brilliant golden hair was dull and stained with dirt and blood.

Pain and despair were engraved on every part of her face, but it could not hide her beauty.

Hayasaka Ai's body was naked, and there were obvious wounds on her abdomen, which were caused by a sharp weapon.

The murderer must have stabbed Hayasaka Ai's abdomen with a knife, and then cruelly scratched it up and down and left and right, causing such a large wound that you can directly see the internal organs.

"Sure enough, there's nothing inside..." Shinomiya Kaguya lowered her head and muttered to herself.

"What are you talking about?" asked Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"...No, nothing." Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at her deeply.

Kaguya Shinomiya stared at Hayasaka Ai's bloodless cheeks and pale lips, and her hands at her sides trembled slightly.

"Hayasaka, you are such an idiot, why don't you just stay in the villa?"

Shinomiya Kaguya raised her right hand, as if wanting to touch Hayasaka Ai's cold face.

"No! You can't move the body without permission!" Kasumigaoka Utaha hurriedly stopped them, "The police still need to investigate."

"Sorry." Kaguya Shinomiya withdrew her hand.

"It's nothing, you can go back to the reception room first." said Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Okay." Kaguya Shinomiya left the forensic room with a gloomy look.

Chapter 324 Yukino's Interrogation

Lin Hezhen didn't know how he walked into the police station.

My legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, but when I walked it felt like I was walking on cotton, soft and without any strength.

All sounds gradually faded away, leaving only a buzzing noise in his ears, but those sounds did not reach his ears as meaningful words, all he felt was tinnitus.

Lin Hezhen felt dizzy, lost balance, and couldn't even tell the front from the back.

He looked around blankly, seeing the cold and dazzling white light around him, listening to the noisy and chaotic noise around him, and seeing the shadows of countless people coming and going, but there was no sign of that girl.

In a trance, he thought he was having a nightmare until he felt a burning pain on his cheek.

It took him a second to come back to his senses and look at the blonde, angry-looking woman in front of him.

"Give me back my daughter!"

Along with the heart-wrenching wails, there came a fierce emotion of hatred.

Those deep blue eyes had turned completely red, and although she was clearly crying, not a single tear came out—not that she couldn't shed tears, but that they had completely dried up.

"Give Ai-chan back to me!"

Hayasaka's mother grabbed Hayashi Kazuma's collar and shook him madly.

"Little love..."

Lin Hezhen raised his eyes woodenly with empty expressions. He moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by sand and stones, and he couldn't utter a single word. He could only make a low, hoarse hiss.

"Why...why didn't you protect her!" the mother who lost her daughter cried and asked.

Lin Hezhen was in a daze and mentally confused. He could only act like a walking corpse, allowing Hayasaka's mother to beat him.

"Ai-chan is looking for you, she's pregnant with your child!"

"Why couldn't you make Ai-chan happy?" Hayasaka's mother cried hysterically, tears streaming down her face, and she was so sad that she was almost insane.

Lin Hezhen finally came to his senses and looked at her in a daze.

"What... did you just say?" he asked tremblingly.

"Are you deaf? Ai-chan is pregnant with a child, your own flesh and blood!" Hayasaka's mother screamed.

"......Child?" Lin Hezhen's mind exploded and he almost collapsed.

His body collapsed uncontrollably and he didn't even have the strength to stand.

"Ai-chan was willing to give up everything for you, even going so far as to make enemies with the Shinomiya family to find you... How could you have the heart to do that to me? You are such a heartless man!"

Hayasaka's mother slapped him hard.

Lin Hezhen didn't even have the strength to dodge and allowed the slap to hit his face.

He staggered two steps and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately a policeman nearby supported him in time.

"Give it back to me, give my daughter back to me!"

The repetitive cries stabbed Lin Hezhen like a knife, crushing his heart.

"I'm sorry..." He could only keep repeating these words, even though he knew it was meaningless.

"What's the point of apologizing now? You've killed her! Why wasn't it you who died?"

Hayasaka's mother was like a mad tiger. She had completely lost control and rushed over to slap him again.

"Ma'am, please calm down. We can't be sure that he is the murderer yet."

The police quickly intervened between Hayashi Kazuma and Hayasaka Nao and pulled them apart.

"What's the noise outside?"

A heroic female police officer came out and sternly rebuked them: "This is the police station. No one is allowed to interfere with public affairs!"

"Yes, sir!" The policemen saluted quickly.

Although this female police officer is young, she is the highest-ranking police inspector at the scene.

Superintendent is the sixth level of the island nation's police rank, and his status is roughly equivalent to that of deputy director of a public security bureau in China.

In the island nation, only about 2.5% of all police officers can be promoted to superintendent of police.

The female police officer glanced at Lin Hezhen with her cold blue eyes, and a strange fluctuation flashed in her eyes.

She pursed her thin cherry lips and said in a cold tone: "Take him to the interrogation room."

"Yes!"

The two police officers agreed, then lifted Lin Hezhen, dragged him into the interrogation room, and locked the door.

Lin Hezhen sat on a chair, looking straight ahead, his eyes empty and unfocused.

"Name?" the female police officer asked coldly.

"...Lin Hezhen."

"age?"

"Twenty-six years old."

"gender?"

"...Don't you know that?"

Lin Kazuma stared at the woman opposite him, his former best friend and first love - Yukinoshita Yukino.

The same upright posture as in my memory, translucent white skin, long black hair tied behind her head, and a face that was so cute that it was unfair.

But at this moment, she was looking at him with cold eyes.

"This is a routine inquiry, please cooperate seriously."

"Yes."

Next, Yukinoshita Yukino asked him many questions, most of which were about his relationship with Hayasaka Ai and his schedule in the past two days.

Yukinoshita Yukino asked very detailed questions, including asking him to answer truthfully about his eating, dressing and sleeping.

"When was the last time you saw each other?" she asked.

"Three days ago."

"What did you do?"

Lin Hezhen hesitated for a moment, but finally confessed: "We went on a date to Disneyland, and when it was over, Xiao Ai proposed to end the relationship."

"Have you dated her since then?"

"No." Lin Hezhen shook his head.

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up Hayashi Kazuma's phone and opened the chat app.

"At 11:58 last night, you sent a message saying [Hayasaka, I want to see you now], followed by a location. Do you have anything to say about this?"
