I, the stepfather of the ninja world!

Director Luohe confessed his crime on the spot and was executed. He murdered the owner Manaka because he wanted to retaliate against him for breaking his promise and deciding to close the museum without permission. As for trying to frame him, it was to punish Kubota for selling the museum's artworks without permission.

Kisaki Eri shook her head gently: "No matter what your original intention was, Mr. Ochiai, breaking the law should not be your first choice. Now you are no longer the director, but a murderer!"

"Yes!" Director Luo He sighed, "Although the Knight of Justice subdued the demon, he was also attacked by the evil blood and became a new demon. He cannot escape the punishment from heaven that will come eventually!"

Director Luo He put his hands into handcuffs and said, "In the end, I failed to protect this art museum that carries the beautiful memories of countless people."

"What a pity." Hibiki Eri stared at the exhibition halls on the monitor, frowned slightly, and sighed softly.

Suzukino grinned and said, "Don't feel sorry. This art museum will continue to operate."

"Why?" Everyone looked puzzled.

"When we visited Picasso's paintings before, Aunt Eri expressed regret that the art museum was going to be converted into a hotel. So, I asked Aunt Liumei to check and found out that Mr. Manaka's company is affiliated with the Suzuki Group."

"Therefore, I can guarantee that this art museum will be managed by professionals from the Suzuki Foundation. It will get better and better in the future and continue to provide excellent cultural influence for the citizens."

"..."

Kisaragi's eyes flickered and her eyelids drooped slightly.

Director Luo He couldn't help but ask, "Young man, who are you?"

"Yes, who are you?"

Everyone echoed this, curious about who this young man was.

Suzukino smiled slightly, straightened his collar, and looked at the many police officers headed by Inspector Megure.

"It's our first meeting, and I haven't had time to introduce myself. My name is Suzukino, and I'm the current head of the Suzuki family and the heir to the Suzuki Group. I will be settling in the country in the future, and I expect I'll be dealing with you all quite often, so please take care of me."

"The heir to the Suzuki Group?!"

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. After living in Tokyo for so long, this was the first time they heard of such a person in the Suzuki Group!

"So you are the young master of the Suzuki family. Thank you for your guidance today, which helped our police solve the case quickly!" Inspector Megure laughed heartily and raised his hand, but in the end he did not pat Suzuki's shoulder and shout "Brother Suzuki".

Suzukino shook his head: "I just made a simple guess. The case was solved mainly due to the efforts of Aunt Yingli and Aunt Liumei."

Kisaki Eri pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "Everyone's efforts are very important."

……

The case was solved smoothly, and the museum soon returned to its former tranquility. Suzukino and Kisaki Eri continued to visit. Not long after, Sonoko and Xiaolan, who had finished eating sushi, came to the museum to meet up.

"What? A murder happened here, and it's related to a moving medieval knight's armor?!"

Xiaolan was shocked and her face was full of disappointment. She just went to eat something and missed it by chance.

"Oh, the line at the sushi restaurant is too long!" Xiaolan sighed softly.

Wakasa Rumi glanced at her watch and said, "Master, it seems to be getting late. It's time to have lunch. Take care of yourself."

Suzukino nodded, looked at Hibiki Eri, and invited her, "Aunt Eri, if you don't mind, let's go eat something together to celebrate the fact that we just solved the case together."

"Yeah." Kissinger nodded in agreement.

Suzukino: "The cafe at the end of this street was opened by the catering company under the consortium before I returned to China. The food is relatively good. Let's go together."

Sonoko waved her hand and refused: "Xiaolan and I just had sushi, so we won't go. Brother, you can go with Aunt Eri."

Xiaolan: "But I want to know about medieval armor! Aren't you curious, Sonoko?"

Sonoko: "It's not too late to talk about this kind of thing when we get home tonight! We're both at the art museum now, we can't just go to the cafe without visiting anything, right? That would be too unfair to these beautiful works of art!"

"That's true." Xiaolan thought about it and nodded.

Suzukino smiled and said, "Then we'll go first."

"After the tour, remember to come to the cafe with Xiaolan." Kisaki Eri glanced at Sonoko and left with Suzukino.

Xiaolan frowned and asked in confusion: "How strange! Why didn't mom tell me, but told you, Sonoko?"

"It's not important!" Yuanzi laughed and didn't take it to heart at all.

……

Suzuki's coffee shop is relatively high-end, with a prime location and nice decoration. Of course, the price is not affordable, and there are relatively few customers. When Suzuki and his group of three arrived, there were only a few seats occupied.

Suzukino, Kisaki Eri, and Wakasa Rumi chose a window seat and sat across the table from each other. The waiter politely served the food and then left.

Since returning to China, Suzukino has only had contact with Eri Kisaki twice.

One was that they went to Mermaid Island together ten days ago, but at that time, Suzuki No and Kimie were very close, and he didn't have much interaction with Kisaki Eri, and they were still strangers.

Second, they collaborated to solve a case in the art museum this morning and became more familiar with each other. Unconsciously, Kisaki Eri's queenly aura had softened a lot and she was no longer so cold.

[Hiki Eri, adjustable lifespan: 1800 days]

Suzuki Ye narrowed his eyes, and the subtitles refreshed in his mind.

[Status: 39 years old, pure, single]

Suzukino's eyes flickered, and he said, "Aunt Yingli, I heard from my mother before that you also take medicine to maintain your youth?"

"Yeah." Hibiki Eri tapped her chin lightly, "Twenty years ago, your mother gave me a pure pill called "Sliver Bullet", which was made by a pharmaceutical company under the Suzuki Group and developed by a female scientist known as an angel."

Suzukino nodded, understanding.

Angel is the honorific given by the Suzuki family to the female scientist, whose original name was Elena Sera. In the organization, Elena Sera is known as the angel who fell into hell and is the chief pharmaceutical scientist.

The most important goal of the organization is to develop drugs that can bring people back to life and achieve immortality. Before Shirley, this work had always been led by angels.

Decades ago, Angel first developed the "Sliver Bullet", which can keep people young and beautiful forever.

This is undoubtedly a breakthrough that touches upon the true meaning of life. In time, resurrection from the dead and immortality may no longer be a luxury.

Unfortunately, a fire broke out in the laboratory, which not only destroyed many of the latest research results that had not been backed up in time, but also killed a crucial angel. As a result, the development of the drug was stagnant for more than ten years.

In recent years, Shirley has inherited Angel's work and re-directed drug research and development, developing a failed product "APTX4869", which has strong side effects and can be called a poison, but also has a very small chance of making organisms smaller...

The coffee shop is quiet and peaceful.

Wakasa Rumi lowered her head slightly, and the lenses of her glasses reflected a dazzling white light under the sunlight. Through the lenses, Wakasa Rumi was secretly alert to her surroundings.

Suzukino and Kisaki Eri sat aside, sipping their coffee and chatting quietly.

Suddenly, a shrill female voice exploded in the store.

"I said coffee, didn't you hear me? Coffee! Bring it up quickly!"

A noisy woman.

Suzukino frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.

[Himeno Yayoi, adjustable lifespan: 0 days]

Worthless, ordinary looking...

Suzukino withdrew his gaze and continued to look at Lawyer Fei, who was both beautiful and elegant.

"Your mother gave me a pill called 'Sliver Bullet', which has the magical effect of beautifying the skin. Although I have been working very hard over the years, I have remained young and have not aged," added Eri.

"Yeah." Suzukino nodded.

"You dyed the ends of your hair white. Is this the latest fashion trend among young people?" asked Hibiki Eri.

"No." Suzukino smiled and shook his head, "My body hasn't recovered completely yet, and my hair occasionally turns gray."

"Take care of yourself, you are the future of the Suzuki Group." Kisaki Eri said softly.

"Ah."

Suzukino smiled and nodded, took a sip of coffee, and his eyes fell on the rosy lips of Kisaki Eri.

I am the future of the consortium.

And you are my future!

……

Time passed by minute by minute, and the bright sunshine came through the floor-to-ceiling windows, fluttering in the air, filled with warmth and freshness.

Suzukino and Kisaki Eri had a very pleasant lunch.

Suddenly, a terrified scream erupted from the direction of the bathroom, echoing throughout the quiet coffee shop.

Suzukino raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that another murder has happened?"

Before he could finish his words, a young man with braided hair came crawling out of the bathroom with a look of horror.

"There's blood in the toilet! There's blood!"

"It looks like someone has died again."

Eri Kisaki took out her cell phone and decisively called the police; Wakasa Rumi instructed the waiter to maintain the scene.

About fifteen minutes later, a loud siren sounded outside the door. The Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division arrived at the cafe at lightning speed. Inspector Megure was in the lead, followed by several police officers with clear division of labor, walking hurriedly.

Inspector Megure entered the store and was slightly stunned: "Master Suzuki, Attorney Hime, what a coincidence, we meet again so soon. You run into cases more frequently than Brother Kudo!"

Suzukino smiled and said, "I said this morning that I would interact with you all frequently. Now it seems that I was right."

"Then, would you be willing to take some time out to assist the police in solving the case like we did this morning?" Inspector Megure rubbed his hands and asked with a smile.

"of course."

Suzukino nodded. Instead of sitting here as a possible suspect and waiting for the police to investigate the case, it would be better to help the police solve the case quickly, let the cafe return to peace, and continue his pleasant lunch with Aunt Eri.

Kisaki Eri said calmly: "Inspector Megure, before you came, Ono, Rumi and I already had a general understanding of the case."

"The deceased was a woman named Himeno Yayoi, a regular customer of this cafe. The cause of death was a knife wound to the heart."

"The body was in the bathroom cubicle, with its back against the door. The murder weapon and the belongings in the bag were scattered around the body."

"The bathroom of this cafe uses a high-end air purification system and does not have any ventilation windows. The entire bathroom has only one exit, the door."

"After the incident, we took control of the scene and asked the cafe to retrieve the surveillance footage outside the bathroom door. Based on the time of the incident, we initially identified three suspects. In the order in which they entered the bathroom, they were university student Yuichi Sumeragi, rugby team coach Jusan Tonoyama, and advertising agent Shiro Wakaoji."

"However, we dare not act at the crime scene in the bathroom without permission. Further investigation requires the supervision and cooperation of the police."

"Ohh! Thank you very much! Thank you for your hard work!"

Inspector Megure laughed heartily and immediately ordered the police officers to investigate the scene.

"Speaking of which, the quality of citizens is really getting higher and higher now! When I was handling cases before, all the shops I encountered would complain more or less about the impact on their business. It's rare to see a coffee shop like this one being so cooperative!"

"No, the quality of everyone hasn't changed much." Kisaki Eri shook her head. "The reason why this cafe is cooperating so much is because it belongs to the Suzuki Group."

"Ah this..."

Inspector Megure scratched the back of his head, his smile froze, and then he laughed again: "It's all thanks to Master Suzuki!"

Suzukino nodded and said, "Let's continue with the case. We have preliminarily determined two methods of committing the crime. One is that the murderer climbed into the stall through the gap above the toilet stall and killed the victim. The other is that the murderer threw the body into the stall after committing the crime."

"Master, I guess it should be the second possibility."

Wakasa Rumi walked out of the bathroom, holding an evidence bag temporarily borrowed from the police, which contained the murder weapon, the knife.

"The police just found blood stains on the eaves of the compartment door. As for the murder weapon, I found that it was not completely covered with blood. There was a very clean circle near the handle."

"Oh?"

Inspector Megure shuddered and quickly took the evidence bag and examined it carefully.

Suzukino raised his eyebrows: "Now it seems that the answer is obvious. If he killed someone with a knife and fled with the knife, the knife would definitely be stained with blood. The reason why a clean circle is left is because it was once covered by something!"

Wakasa Rumi nodded and said, "It should be something long and thin, like a rope. I just found a circle of thin marks on the neck of the deceased."

Suzukino stroked his chin and speculated: "The murderer probably strangled the victim outside the cubicle, then tied a rope around the murder weapon, stabbed the victim in the heart with a knife, and then threw the thin victim into the gap above the cubicle, pulled the knife out with the rope, untied the rope, and threw the murder weapon into the cubicle."

Kisaki Eri nodded in agreement. "That's right. According to this method, the murderer can avoid drawing a knife in front of people, and his body will not be splashed with blood. As for the bloodstains on the eaves of the door, it is probably a little blood dripping from the corpse or the murder weapon when it passed by."

Suzukino grinned: "Next, we just need to find the blood-stained, long, thin object that looks like a rope, and the case can be declared solved!"

"Yes!" Inspector Megure nodded heavily, full of confidence.
