Shizuka felt that the guy in front of her definitely wanted to extort money. Otherwise, why would he complain about her crying sadly? Is there no justice left in this world?! At this moment, Mutian Yuan threw away his cigarette butt, reached into his pocket for a bag of snacks, and while eating, he looked at Shizuka,
who was weeping like a pear blossom bathed in rain, making him feel pity. He said, "You really plan to give up, right? Let me tell you, I'm a straightforward person, and I hate being deceived. Don't go back on your word after agreeing to me, and then turn around and kill those three people."
Shizuka looked at Mutian Yuan with a tragic and beautiful smile and said, "Don't worry. Since you've discovered me, I will give up my plan. After all... I actually really hoped someone would stop me, although, this... for my father, mother, and sister..."
At this point, Shizuka couldn't continue. To be honest, who can simply put down the hatred of their family being massacred? If Shizuka was determined to take revenge to the death, then it would be one thing. But Shizuka had always been hesitant.
Shizuka even secretly made a decision with Detective Mouri when she sent him the request: as long as she was discovered, she would give up her murder plan. Although the person who discovered her plan was not Detective Mouri, she was still discovered.
And the overly kind Shizuka couldn't bring herself to kill to silence the witness. Since it was impossible to silence Mutian Yuan, Shizuka didn't think the final plan could be carried out smoothly.
"I believe if your father were still alive, he wouldn't blame you. On the contrary, he would be happy with your decision."
Mutian Yuan replied while chewing the food in his mouth. Then, turning his back to Shizuka, he let the little fox take out the sheet music he had previously stolen... borrowed, then turned back and handed it to Shizuka. "This was left for you by your father. I secretly borrowed it from the community center warehouse just now. Take a look. I believe you should know how to interpret it."
Shizuka, upon hearing that it was something her father left behind, immediately took the sheet music with trembling hands and began to read it. After reading the sheet music, Shizuka cried again: "Father..."
"If I say yes right now, will he kill me?"
Mutian Yuan asked the little fox privately while feeding... the little fox and Meowth some snacks. The little fox, while crunching away, said, "You try it. Don't worry, after you succeed, I'll send you back to your roots, and I'll also take care of your family and Maple, and I won't avenge you, because this is your choice."
"Also, in the future, during Qingming and Zhongyuan festivals, I will transfer money to you on time, and even express deliver you things like mobile phones and computers... and villas, maids, and cars, to ensure you have a rich life down there."
"I don't need servants, just send me some beauties."
Mutian Yuan replied without thinking. The little fox nodded: "Alright, I'll express deliver you inflatable dolls. Tell me which celebrity you want, and I'll guarantee your satisfaction. Even if they're not sold online, I'll custom-make them for you."
Upon hearing the little fox's words, Mutian Yuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Forget it. After thinking about it, I decided it's better not to agree. It's too vulgar, so vulgar that even Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't pull it off."
"You know that and you still ask? You don't even look at what time it is. You're taking advantage, aren't you? If you had really dared to agree just now, you would have been beaten to death!"
The little fox rolled its eyes at Mutian Yuan, then warned, "I'm telling you, even when taking advantage, you have to consider the situation. Our animal kingdom has a very educational story.
There was a hairy monkey who, because he took advantage, was sucked into a gourd. He barely escaped, and he was still happy about it, almost getting his monkey brain eaten alive. So, in the future, be careful not to get exploited and turned into stew."
"Don't try to fool me. You're talking about the story of Sun Wukong. I know that story!"
Mutian Yuan sneered at the story the little fox told. This guy is just trying to scare me. I'm not afraid! After exchanging a few words with the little fox, Mutian Yuan looked at Shizuka and said, "So, what did your father tell you?"
"You didn't read it?"
Shizuka held her father's literary last will and testament, looking at Mutian Yuan with some surprise. Mutian Yuan shrugged and replied, "How would I know? I don't know where to read it."
Then Mutian Yuan added, "But I can probably guess that your father told you the truth about what happened back then, and then told you not to seek revenge, but to live well."
"Pretty much,"
Shizuka looked at Mutian Yuan with a complicated expression and nodded, then translated the last words from the sheet music to Mutian Yuan. It was nothing more than... twelve years ago, Aso Keiji used the opportunity of an overseas performance to help smuggle goods.
Later, when he decided to retire, the former village chief, what's-his-name Kamegawa, and Island, Kuroiwa, and Nishimoto, those four people, killed Shizuka's mother and sister. Then, to make it look like Aso Keiji himself did it, they deliberately didn't kill him directly but chose to burn him to death.
And Aso Keiji knew that even if he escaped the fire, Kamegawa and the others waiting outside wouldn't let him go. He would still die eventually. Also, because his wife and daughter were killed in front of him,
he was so distraught that he gave up the idea of saving himself. Taking advantage of the fire before it completely spread, he quickly wrote everything down in code, then put the sheet music in a safe and played the piano, finally burning to death in the fire.
After saying all this, Shizuka was in tears: "Dad said, I have to live well alone from now on..."
"So you're right to stop."
Mutian Yuan looked at Shizuka seriously. "You know, even if Detective Mouri hadn't discovered your secret before me, once you killed someone, Detective Mouri would definitely expose you. Believe me, there's no doubt about that. Because Detective Mouri is a cheat,
and his cheats are powerful! If that really happened, I guess you would definitely choose to leave this world in the same way your father did, right? Wouldn't that be against your father's instructions? Wouldn't that be... unfilial? You know, even if you die, you won't have the face to see your father. Maybe your father would even furiously beat you up and disown you."
Then Mutian Yuan added, "So what you need to do now is to live well. Find a husband or wife and live a good life."
Shizuka: "...Finding a husband or something is out of the question..."
Damn it, even though I'm dressed like a girl now, this is just a disguise! I'm a man! A pure man, okay?! Why would I need a husband?! "This is your private matter, it's not important!"
Mutian Yuan waved his hand, then grabbed a handful of the snacks he had been eating and stuffed them into Shizuka's hand. "I forgot which crazy scientist's research showed that eating something when you're sad or depressed helps adjust your mood. So eat some snacks and calm down."
Shizuka, upon hearing Mutian Yuan's words, picked up a snack and slowly ate it. At this moment, she heard Mutian Yuan muttering, "Honestly, I've always wondered what the company that produces this chocolate-flavored dog food thinks. Don't they know dogs can't eat chocolate? Are they trying to poison dogs by making chocolate-flavored dog food?"
Shizuka, who was chewing, froze. Then she looked at Mutian Yuan and said, "...Dog, dog food!"
"That's right. I don't even know if I was blind when I bought it, but I actually bought several bags of chocolate-flavored dog food. I can't trick a dog into eating it, so I had no choice but to eat it myself. Fortunately, it tastes pretty good. Otherwise, I would have smashed their company."
Mutian Yuan calmly threw a piece of chocolate-flavored dog food into his mouth, chewing it as he replied. Then he looked at Shizuka and said, "Hey, how do you think it tastes? Is it delicious?"
Shizuka: "...Hehe..."
Damn it, although it tastes good, thinking it's dog food makes me lose my appetite! Honestly, how unpicky are you? You eat dog food so calmly, with such gusto! Mutian Yuan then looked at Shizuka and said, "I know it's impossible for you to let go of your hatred. After all, if anyone else had this happen to them and knew the truth, they'd forgive them and live happily ever after, like something out of a fantasy story. But don't worry, those guys won't get off so easily. I believe the righteous police officers will give them righteous justice!"
"Police?"
Shizuka heard Mutian Yuan's words and hesitated immediately. "But so much time has passed, and there's no evidence. Will the police catch them?"
The reason Shizuka wanted revenge was because there was no evidence to punish them. Otherwise, she would have called the police long ago! "Don't you have that evidence in your hand?"
Mutian Yuan pointed at the sheet music, then added, "Besides, do you think they're so clean? Their drug dealing business hasn't stopped all these years. Otherwise, where would the other three get their money?
As for the stuff, I know where they hide it, in a hidden compartment under the piano in the community center. Even if we can't convict them of murder, selling drugs is enough to put them away. They won't be able to escape."
Then Mutian Yuan pondered for a moment and added, "And I heard that ever since the former village chief, that bastard, died, one of them got scared. If we can break through his psychological defense, maybe he'll personally confess what happened back then. Of course, I haven't figured out how to do that yet."
"You mean Nishimoto, right?"
Shizuka thought for a moment and looked at Mutian Yuan. Mutian Yuan spread his hands. "How would I know? If you say so, then it is... "
I'm not good at remembering Japanese men's names, let alone a minor character!
