I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

“Kazuma.”

At this moment, a pair of hands pressed on his shoulders.

"I know you must be very sad and in pain now, but you can't become decadent. I think Hayasaka's spirit in heaven would not want to see you like this."

Lin Hezhen looked up and found it was Shinomiya Kaguya.

She was wearing a black dress, with her jet-black hair falling in front of her chest. Her beautiful face revealed an elegant and noble temperament.

"Kaguya..." Hayashi Kazuma looked at the person who was closest to Hayasaka Ai, and suddenly his nose felt sore and he almost cried.

"Let's go see her. I guess you want to say goodbye to her properly."

"Yes." Lin Hezhen nodded heavily.

In this way, Shinomiya Kaguya supported Hayashi Kazuma and walked towards the forensic room where Hayasaka Ai's body was placed.

"Hey, you're here." Kasumigaoka Utaha was not at all surprised by Lin Hezhen's arrival.

They are old acquaintances and alumni of the same university.

"She's right here, you...try to control your emotions."

Kasumigaoka Utaha lifted the white cloth covering the corpse and said to Hayashi Kazuma.

He nodded gently and slowly approached the corpse. After just one look, his entire mind seemed to explode, going blank.

Hayasaka Ai had lost all signs of life. She lay flat on the cold dissection table, her eyes closed and her face as pale as paper.

There was a shocking knife wound on her abdomen, the wound was so deep that you could almost see the color of her internal organs...

"Xiao Ai, I'm sorry!" Lin Hezhen fell to his knees.

"It's my fault. It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well!" He was heartbroken and tears welled up in his eyes. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

"Xiao Ai, it's my fault. I should have stayed by your side. If I had paid more attention to your condition at the time, would these things not have happened?"

"It's all my fault. I killed you, Xiao Ai. I regret it so much. I hate myself for not protecting you!"

Lin Hezhen broke down emotionally and burst into tears.

Drops of tears fell on the floor, making a crisp sound, but it was even more painful.

He never imagined that his relationship with Hayasaka Ai would end in this way.

How can one accept that someone was fine last night, but when he woke up today, he was gone forever?

"Xiao Ai, you definitely don't want me to forget you, right?"

"I will never forget you! Never!"

"I will remember you all my life! Even if you go to another world, I will always love you!"

Lin Hezhen lay on the dissecting table in pain, heartbroken.

Their love affair was not long, it could even be said to be brief, but it ended in such a tragic way, leaving an indelible mark in Lin Hezhen's heart.

“Kazuma, this isn’t your fault…don’t blame yourself too much.” Shinomiya Kaguya sighed, “Hayasaka won’t blame you.”

"But I can't forgive myself!" Lin Hezhen clenched his fists, his nails dug into his palms, and blood was dripping.

"I swear, I will find the murderer and avenge Xiao Ai! I will definitely make him pay with blood!"

"And me," Shinomiya Kaguya took Lin Hezhen's hand, gently stroked his palm, and comforted him softly, "I will also do my best to help you find the real murderer."

......

On the other hand, the police's interrogation of Eriri also ended.

After Eriri left, Yukinoshita Yukino held her chin and said to her subordinates:

"Eri's testimony is the same as Hayashi Kazuma's. They said that the two entered the love hotel yesterday afternoon and came out this morning. Go to that hotel to verify the situation and collect check-in information and surveillance evidence."

"Yes, sir." The two policemen took the order and left.

The mustache man who participated in the interrogation with Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and said, "If what they said is true, then who sent the message that Hayasaka Ai received yesterday? That account was clearly from Hayashi Kazuma."

Yukinoshita Yukino calmly analyzed, "It is possible that someone knows Hayashi Kazuma's account password and sent a message to Hayasaka Ai after logging in from a different location. Let the colleagues in the technical department check it out immediately."

"As ordered."

"Next, let Kato Hui come in to await interrogation."

Chapter 327 Kato Megumi's Reverse Scale

"Kato Megumi, where were you from 7pm last night to 3am this morning? What did you do?"

In the interrogation room, Yukinoshita Yukino asked with a serious face.

Kato Megumi sat upright in the chair with her hands crossed on her knees. She was now much calmer than before.

"Last night, I prepared dinner at home and waited for Kazuma to come back, but he never came home after waiting for a long time... I called him, but his phone was turned off."

"Later, I went out to look for him... I wanted to find him, but..."

"But?" Yukinoshita Yukino repeated, feeling that Kato Megumi's next words were very important.

“I didn’t know where Kazuma was, so I drove around town.”

"As I turned around, I found myself on an unfamiliar street. I had never seen this street before. The street sign read 'Nail Factory Street'."

"At that time, there seemed to be a voice in my mind urging me to walk into Dingchang Street and look for No. 237..."

"I walked in involuntarily, and then I knew nothing... When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed in my bedroom at home. It was already 7:40 this morning."

"No. 237 Dingchang Street," Yukino Yukinoshita said to the police officer beside her while recording her confession, "Go check this place."

"Hey!" The policeman immediately stood up and left the room, while another policeman continued to ask: "May I ask why you went to Dingchang Street in the first place?"

Kato Hui shook her head slowly: "I don't know, maybe it was just a whim."

"What did you do on Nail Factory Street?"

"I do not remember."

"What is 237 Nail Factory Street? Who lives there? Do you know them?"

"...I'm sorry, I don't understand."

"When did you enter Nail Factory Street? How long did you stay there?"

Kato Hui recalled carefully: "When I went in, it was probably past twelve o'clock. As for how long I stayed there, I don't know myself."

The policeman with a handlebar moustache questioning the matter was a little angry: "Madam, every word you say will be used as evidence in court, please take it seriously!"

Kato Hui held her head in pain: "I'm sorry, my memory is a little fuzzy, and I can't remember a lot of things."

The policeman wanted to say something, but Yukinoshita Yukino raised her hand to stop him.

"One last question, Kato, do you know about the relationship between Hayashi Kazuma and Hayasaka Ai? Do you know that Hayasaka Ai is pregnant with your husband's child?"

"Child?" Kato Hui trembled all over and her face turned pale: "I, I don't understand what you are talking about, officer..."

Looking at this young and beautiful face with such an expression, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly felt a sense of sadness and sympathy.

"That's all for this questioning." Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her watch, "Ms. Kato, you can go to the reception room and have a cup of coffee and take a short rest."

Kato Megumi stood up, bowed to Yukinoshita Yukino, and left the room.

The door closed, separating the two worlds.

Yukinoshita Yukino leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes and rested. Her brows were furrowed into a "川" shape, showing that she was not at peace inside.

"Inspector Yukinoshita, I think Kato Megumi is a major suspect. She has no alibi from last night to early this morning. She must be lying about her vague memory! I suggest we conduct a more in-depth investigation on her and get to know her thoroughly."

The detective who was in charge of the interrogation with Yukino suggested.

Yukinoshita Yukino opened her eyes, stared at the file in front of her, and pondered for a moment.

"Don't be impatient, just observe for a while." Yukinoshita Yukino whispered.

"I just noticed that Kato Hui's mental state is very bad. From the beginning of the interrogation to now, she has almost been answering questions in a blank and empty tone. This is very strange."

"We need to find out what happened to her before we can make a judgement. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that she has concealed key clues."

"In short, everything still needs further investigation. So, go and bring Lin Hezhen here for questioning."

Outside the interrogation room, as soon as Kato Megumi walked out of the door, she met Lin Hezhen head-on. It seemed that he was waiting for her here specially.

"Mei, what's the matter with the wound on your face?" Lin Hezhen walked quickly to Kato Megumi and wanted to reach out and touch the scar on her cheek.

"Nothing." Kato Megumi dodged Lin Hezhen's hand with a cold face.

Lin Hezhen looked at the cold, bloodless face and seemed to understand something.

He lowered his head, and said in pain and regret: "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. I didn't want to break the appointment. And the matter with Hayasaka is the same... Hui, I really didn't want to cheat on you on my own initiative. They forced me to do it in the beginning. I had no choice... Anyway, I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry?" Kato Hui raised her head and looked straight at Lin Hezhen: "Hezhen, do you really know where you are wrong?"

"Eh?"

"Why don't you always come to me for consultation when you encounter problems? Whether it's Hayasaka's matter or Eriri's matter, why do you hide it from me and make decisions on your own? Am I not your closest person?"

"Hui, I..." Lin Hezhen was speechless.

Kato Megumi shook her head: "Kazuma, I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that I will get hurt. But have you ever thought about it? Your escape and deception can't solve any problems, it will only hurt everyone."

"If you had told me, I would have tried to understand you...but why didn't you do that?"

"Mr. Lin, I really still cannot forgive you for what you did. It's better for us not to meet until I have sorted out my feelings."

After saying that, Kato Megumi turned and left, leaving Lin Hezhen with a frail and lonely back.

"Hui..." Lin Hezhen wanted to chase after his wife to keep her, but finally stopped, looked in the direction where she disappeared, and sat down on the bench dejectedly.

Kato Megumi didn't cry, but because of this, the emotions she expressed simply broke my heart.

If I had been honest with Kei the day I had sex with Hayasaka Ai for the first time by accident, would things not have ended up like this?

Or if I had chosen to confess to Hui when Hayasaka Ai left and Eriri threatened me, could today's tragedy have been avoided?

I do not know.

But now, it's too late.

He had the chance to change, but he didn't take it.

At this moment, Lin Hezhen suddenly felt like a stone, thrown into a pile of mud, sealed in dust forever.

......

"Lin Hezhen, come in for questioning." The policeman with a mustache pushed open the door of the interrogation room and shouted at him.

Chapter 328 Confusing

The police shouted at him, "Lin Hezhen, come in for questioning."

Lin Hezhen stood up, sighed silently, calmed himself down, and walked into the interrogation room.

"Sit down and talk." Yukinoshita Yukino said lightly.

"Yeah." Lin Hezhen sat down on the chair as she instructed, crossing his hands on his knees.

Yukinoshita Yukino flipped through Kato Megumi's confession and asked casually, "How is your relationship with your wife?"

"It's fine. Our daily life is very happy and loving... Of course, she gets angry with me sometimes."

Thinking of what Kato Megumi had just said, a hint of sadness flashed across Lin Hezhen's eyes.

"Really? Then why did you have an affair with other women?" Yukinoshita Yukino put down the information in her hand, looked up and stared at him: "Why did you cheat on Hayasaka and Sawamura?"

"This... do I have to say it?" A look of hesitation and struggle appeared on Lin Hezhen's face.

"Yes. This may be an important clue to solving the case, so we must figure it out." Yukinoshita Yukino emphasized.

"Okay," Lin Hezhen said with difficulty: "Actually, my relationship with Hayasaka Ai started from an accident. After that, she used this as a handle to force me to be her secret lover."

Lin Kazuma described in detail the process of how he and Hayasaka Ai developed a relationship, became lovers, and finally broke up.

Yukinoshita Yukino listened to his story carefully and said thoughtfully: "So, you dated her only because you had no choice?"

"That was the case at first, but..." Lin Hezhen smiled bitterly, "But I gradually realized that Xiao Ai really liked me. She was very cute and kind, and had many advantages that I admired, so I fell in love with her unknowingly."

"You are so affectionate," Yukinoshita Yukino said sarcastically, "Then why did Hayasaka Ai ask to break up with you?"
