Chapter 168 (2/2)
“Co men like us, what is there to see”
“Fine, I will go looking for you”
After he hung up, Lei Yin said to Naoko, who has not lost her blush: “Maeda is in the nearby restaurant, he wanted o to dinner with him, do you want to come?”
“Maybe he has soo”
“That guy is nearby, it does not ether”
“E, she did not want to be separated from him even for an hour
Arriving at the appointed restaurant, Lei Yin saw that except for Maeda who blocked his “affair,” there was a wo next to him Lei Yin was also very familiar with that woman, it was Eiko Kotoshi+
If he had known she was here, Lei Yin would not have coht, he covered his face with a black cloth and also deliberately changed his voice, but a person’s body was very easy to read, not to o He can only hope that she failed to see anything
“Masashi+, here” Seeing Lei Yin, Maeda immediately stood up and waved at him
After taking their seats, Naoko ireeted her lover’s stepfather and Eiko Kotoshi+
Maeda did not think Naoko would co
Lei Yin looked at Eiko Kotoshi+ and said: “I cannot believe that even police inspector Eiko Kotoshi+ also co official to do?” He started to talk first to let the woman hear his voice so that she did not jump into conclusion
“No, I happened to be passing by and encountered advisor Eiko who just walked out of the police headquarters, therefore we get together for dinner,” Maeda explained
“So it’s like this Have you ordered your food?” Lei Yin was sory
“Not yet, you guys go ahead”
“I won’t be polite then Naoko, ould you like to eat” Lei Yin opened the ht hand and held it in front of her with his left hand
“You let Mr Maeda order first I will order later” Naoko blushi+ngly said Seeing Lei Yin being so considerate to her in front of his stepfather, Naoko felt both sweet and somewhat embarrassed
Seeing her like this, Lei Yin smiled, “You are so nervous, later on, hoould Maeda dare to invite you for dinner Do you want to order a package? Too lazy to think”
“Ely nodded
Although Ryutaro Maeda knew that Naoko was previously Masashi+’s teacher, he always thought the six years age difference between the at the to be a big deal Perhaps this guy Masashi+ has always been too mature In contrast, the very thin skinned Naoko looked smaller than him
Eating in a relaxed atmosphere continued However, Eiko Kotoshi+ has been silent the entire tiive him a polite answer
Wanting to understand about her situation, Lei Yin nonchalantly said: “Police Inspector Eiko Kotoshi+ broke such a big case, I wonder if there is any reward fro”
Hearing his words, the female police inspector’s face inaled hi that he should not ask about the ain
Unexpectedly, Eiko Kotoshi+ did not stay quiet this time but opened her mouth
“Perhaps the above will awardvacation” She said with a sneer
So she was just being kept out of office, Lei Yin felt relieved Although the woman has a bad temper, after all, she had used her to co If she was removed from office, then that was a bit too harsh for her
No longer asking her, Lei Yin turned to Maeda to ask about Ruate the matter, he has not been back for nearly teeks and was someorry
At this time, Eiko Kotoshi+ suddenly asked, “Mr Maeda, is your stepson a Kendo-ka?”
Hearing her question, Lei Yin’s heart was suddenly alarmed, and immediately replied: “No, Police Inspector Eiko why all of a sudden ask this question?”
“Nothing, just think that you look a bit like someone” The female police inspector looked at him in the eyes
“Really? It is normal for people to have some similarity” Lei Yin raised his cup to take a sip and took this opportunity to avoid her gaze
“Masashi+, I heard from Rumiko that you often instruct Ruely asked
His grandmother! Why can’t you just shut up! Lei Yin cursed in his heart
“In fact, it’s not really an instruction, Rumi only asked me to becoht, Ruht? I remember she said she was ready to participate”
“Em, I am not very clear about that, I am sorry” Because of his work, he was often not at houilty about this
Lei Yin did not ask the follow-up question, just casually asking other things
Although he was speaking with Maeda, he always felt being punctured by thorns because he sensed Eiko Kotoshi+ has been watching him

When she got home, Eiko Kotoshi+ wearily lied on the bed
She was not tired because of the case, but because of the powerlessness feeling that came out of her heart
It finally ended After eight years of waiting, it should be considered as done
She just refused to think that her father was really dead And not a glorious way to die either
But in any case, her father was finally able to reclaim his humanity at the last seconds
Theher father, in addition to the man called Outsider, she did not tell it to anyone else On second thought, she decided to tell her ht to know about this matter
She walked to her ently knocked on the door
“Is it you, Eiko? Come in”
Pushi+ng the door open and walking in, she found hera sweater
“Eiko, what happened?” Sayaka Kotoshi+ looked at her daughter who has not come to her room for many years
“Mo to tell you”
“Sit down first and then say, what’s the matter?” Sayaka Kotoshi+ put her wool ball to the side
Watching her mother’s eyes, Eiko Kotoshi+ was somewhat difficult to open her mouth
After a while, she took a deep breath and said: “Mom, dad he…is dead”
To her surprise, her htly said, “Really?”
Seeing her expression, Eiko Kotoshi+’s heart filled with a strong anger, Hearing that her husband has died, how could the wife be so indifferent?
Just when she was ready to stand up and leave, Sayaka Kotoshi+ suddenly said a sentence that really surprised her
“Actually, I have long known that your father is dead”
“What did you say?” She suddenly stood up, not because of anger but because she was greatly surprised
Sayaka Kotoshi+ went on to say: “One night after he disappeared for a year, I suddenly got a call from him At that time on the phone, he is very excited, as if drunk He said a lot of things, but I did not understand everything Until two days later when I saw the coverage on the TV, I slowly began to understand what he said”
“So what happened then, what else did he say?”
“He told me not to wait for him, moreover, he wanted me to find another person to re In the end, he only said he wanted to use his own life to atone for what he has done wrong And then he hung up the phone
After that phone call, I contacted the police but did not find anything Because I was afraid to ht he would come back, turns out he really is dead” At this point, Sayaka Kotoshi+ burst into tears
Seeing this woht years, Eiko Kotoshi+ was unable to say anything, just tightly holding her bitterly crying mother
