I'm writing a diary in Zongman

"But... there were some errors in the intelligence she received."

"In fact, it wasn't her father who hit your mother with his car twenty years ago. It was the criminal who was chasing her and hit her."

Takasugi Toshihiko, who was still doubting his life, suddenly shuddered all over.

His whole face was filled with fear.

"That's right, the person who hit your mother was a criminal, but not Sayuri Matsumoto's father."

"Maybe he didn't rescue your mother in time, but that's a secondary responsibility."

"The real murderer of your mother is that criminal."

Something that Takasugi Toshihiko wanted to forget very much was mentioned again.

At that time, he only felt hatred towards the policeman who shook off his hand, but subconsciously ignored the criminal who hit his mother with his car.

"That criminal was sentenced to life imprisonment twenty years ago and has been in prison ever since. It's a relief that he's still alive."

"He didn't even know about the incident that killed your mother."

Amamiya Ren paused.

"I think you should be clear about this, but you only want to attach your hatred to the policeman who ignored your mother and went to catch the criminal."

"So, you think that the police officer on May 520th really owes your mother her life."

"Or, have you not investigated your mother's case since you were adopted by the Takasugi chaebol?"

"You just lived your own comfortable life and blamed all the mistakes on a police officer without even giving a cent to the criminal."

"It's like, that policeman is the criminal who killed your mother."

At this moment, Takasugi Toshihiko's whole face turned pale.

He doesn't remember?

No, he knew.

What happened twenty years ago is still vivid in my mind even now.

He clearly saw a madman driving in an alley hit his mother, causing her to smash against the wall like a rag, and then completely lose consciousness, with only a weak breath.

Then the fierce-looking policeman appeared. He rushed up to him, hugged him, and begged him to save his mother, but the fierce-looking policeman pushed him away and rushed forward desperately.

"No...no..."

Toshihiko Takasugi fell to the ground trembling all over. Looking at Sayuri Matsumoto who was lying on the ground and vomiting blood, he held her face in his trembling hands.

"Don't die... Don't die..."

"It's not my fault... It's not my fault..."

Is Takasugi Toshihiko starting to regret it at this moment?

Yes, he really regretted it.

But he only started to regret it when he knew he was going to die.

Chapter 159: Happy to miss Shu

"Snapped!"

With a sudden snap of her fingers, Sayuri Matsumoto suddenly opened her eyes.

"..."

She remembered the scene before her: it was in the church's dressing room.

I now remember the parts I couldn't remember before.

After Yimei left the dressing room, her groom was quickly pushed in.

Just as expected, the poison was poured into the jar on the table.

The technique is almost equivalent to no technique at all.

It's not fast, and it's very easy to spot.

The scene of putting the capsule hidden in the cuff into the jar, and the small movements done deliberately with his back turned made it difficult for her to pretend not to know.

"Hey……"

Sayuri Matsumoto sighed.

Thinking of the memories she had just lost and the words and actions of Takasugi Toshihiko she had just seen, she felt tired.

It is said that contact requires removing the filter of childhood.

But after taking them all off, I realized that there was actually nothing special about Takasugi Toshihiko.

Those courageous acts in the past may really have been just childish behavior.

At least Sayuri Matsumoto doesn't think that a playful man who puts the blame for his mother's car accident on his father would have the intention to be brave and righteous.

Even the crying scene at the end was not a scene of repentance for her actions, but a scene of complete despair after realizing that the chaebol he belonged to was almost hopeless.

It was not a cry of repentance, but a cry of knowing that everything had been lost.

Those were not tears for her falling to the ground, but tears because he knew that her falling to the ground would cause him to lose everything.

The brave boy in childhood has become what he is now.

Sayuri Matsumoto also has endless emotions.

But one thing will not change.

This farce-like wedding can be stopped now.

Looking down, I saw the crying groom I had seen before curled up on the ground, his eyes closed in pain, and his hands seemed to be still holding something.

Unfortunately, this time, there was no longer that heavy filter in Sayuri Matsumoto's eyes.

He has completely seen through the true nature of this man named Takasugi Toshihiko.

"How~"

Hearing the voice, Sayuri Matsumoto turned her head subconsciously.

She saw Xiaolan and Sonoko, whom she knew, sitting next to her, but they looked sluggish, as if they had just woken up.

Looking at the others, the situations of those young ladies were very similar.

Thinking about his previous state, and the other self he saw lying in a pool of blood, and Takasugi Toshihiko who continued to expose his bad side.

Sayuri Matsumoto's brain began to work rapidly.

What just happened was definitely unusual.

Takasugi Toshihiko's reaction was completely the most normal reaction he could have.

Another me lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

That is not a normal situation.

Sayuri Matsumoto's mind is clearer than ever.

She was a little love-sick before, but that was because the filter of time was too thick.

But if your mind doesn't even have this much speed when you're thinking seriously, you can't be a teacher.

If we think about this issue more rationally, we can actually hear some signs from the conversation just now.

It was obvious that the boy used something, perhaps hallucinogenic drugs, or perhaps a special...power similar to magic.

However, Sayuri Matsumoto thinks the answer is more inclined towards the latter.

Why can hallucinogenic drugs be used on two people?

And judging from Takasugi Toshihiko's situation, they should have entered the same state, and even saw, heard, and experienced the same things.

It's just that as a third party, she saw and heard more, while Takasugi Toshihiko was more like the one being controlled.

Sayuri Matsumoto looked at Xiaolan and Sonoko again. There was only surprise on their faces, but not a trace of fear.

It seems that this is the first time to have such an experience, but it is not the first time such a thing has happened.

This is not an emergency.

In addition, Sayuri Matsumoto also noticed that it was not just Xiaolan and Sonoko who were experiencing similar situations.

Several other noble ladies also had similar symptoms.

So, everyone here knows about this except me?

After sorting out the situation, Sayuri Matsumoto gradually relaxed.

It seems that it is not normal for Xiaolan and Sonoko to investigate me.

It seemed as if they knew from the beginning that Takasugi Toshihiko was going to attack me, and even knew that I would choose to die.

This kind of advance knowledge is very unusual.

So in this unusual situation, finding the most unreasonable person is the solution.

Sayuri Matsumoto immediately understood why there was a boy among the group of young ladies with special identities and backgrounds.

It seems that this is one of the reasons.

After opening her eyes and calming down, Kaguya Shinomiya looked calmly at the man lying on the ground like a maggot.

“It’s very similar to what I imagined.”

"He's just a simple-minded person who is wishful thinking and unwilling to accept the facts."

"And this man's heart for revenge for his mother is not pure either."

"If he really had that intention, then he should have started to have that intention when he was adopted by the Takasugi couple."

"Twenty years ago, Inspector Matsumoto was probably just an ordinary police officer."

"It shouldn't be difficult for a chaebol to target a small police officer."

After saying that, he looked at Amamiya-san inquiringly.

At this, Amamiya Ren nodded slightly.

"Twenty years ago, Inspector Matsumoto was indeed just an ordinary police inspector."

"It was because he caught the criminal that he was able to start moving up the career ladder."

"It can be said that if he had made some moves twenty years ago, Superintendent Matsumoto might still be an ordinary police inspector now."

"There's even the possibility of being transferred."

It is often the most critical period in the promotion process, not to mention that there are people behind the case who are deliberately making trouble.

If Takasugi Toshihiko, who was adopted 20 years ago, had really told his adoptive parents about his story, it might have really interrupted Inspector Matsumoto's path to promotion.

After getting a positive answer, Shinomiya Kaguya looked clear.

"Maybe he'll be confused at first because of his mother's death."

"But after calming down, if he really wants revenge, he won't be unable to do anything."

"A little bit of incitement at a critical moment can change a lot of things."

"So, he should have already started his new life at that time."

Commonly known as being so happy that one forgets to return to his homeland.

Chapter 160 The Crime That Cannot Be Escaped

The life of ordinary people and the life of nobles are naturally completely different.

Initially an ordinary person, Takasugi Toshihiko was able to clearly distinguish between ordinary people and nobles.

When a child's mind is not yet fully developed and he experiences treatment that does not match his own conditions, his mind will naturally take off completely.

I subconsciously wanted to cut off ties with my past ordinary self, and inevitably put my mother's car accident behind me.
