Awakening

Eiko Kotoshi suddenly laughed, “That thing is over, I have no need to find someone to check on you. Forget it, just consider I did not ask.”

Seeing her smile, Lei Yin felt somewhat strange.

The garden work in the Teikyo University was superb. Under the sunlight, the surrounding flowers and trees seemed alive.

“This is really nostalgic for me. Unknowingly, several years have passed since the last time I come here. Fortunately, it does not seem to change much. You should know this, right? I am also a Teikyo University alumni.” Eiko Kotoshi looked back at him.

“Really? This is such a coincidence.”

“I do not want to waste your time, let us sit down and talk.” The female police sat down on one of the stone benches in the park.

Lei Yin sat across from her on another piece of stone benches.

After sitting down, he adjusted the sleeping Amy, so that she can sleep comfortably.

Eiko Kotoshi quietly watched his movement.

After Amy was settled, Lei Yin looked at her, “Well, what happened?”

The female police took a photograph from her handbag and handed to him.

“Have you seen the man in the picture?”

After carefully looking at the photograph for a while, Lei Yin raised his head, “Yes, just a week ago, when I teach him a lesson. Why? Is he going to sue me for intentionally hurt him?”

Eiko Kotoshi deeply looked at him, after a while, she suddenly laughed.

“You are much more smarter than I thought. I thought you would deny seeing this man, it seems like I still underestimated you.”

“I do not quite understand what you mean.” Lei Yin put down the photo.

“Just a few days ago, I took over Tsukuda’s malicious wounding case. The victim is the man in the picture, his name is Yamada Shiryo, a forty years old Managing Director of Bank of Tokyo. Do you know how he is now?”

“If you want to say it, I will listen.”

“Very miserable. Although he is not dead, his condition is worse than death. Not only his lower part is castrated, his spine also suffered a severe blow, resulting in total paralysis. Other than his mind is pretty much awake, he is basically very much like a vegetable. He does not even have the ability to commit suicide.”

“What a pitiful experience.” Although he said these words, he did not even show a semi-sympathetic expression.

“Did you do this?”

Lei Yin sneered, “Officer Eiko, you are a cop, you should know that police must base their case on the evidence. If you have the evidence, I do not mind if you take me back to the police station, but if not, please do not talk nonsense, I have the right to sue you.”

Eiko Kotoshie withdrew her gaze and then put the picture back into her bag.

“Do you know how I know it was you? In investigating this case, I can see that this is clearly an act of revenge. So I looked up this man’s record and found that he once was a suspect to three counts of child molestation cases. But because there was no direct evidence, he has never been prosecuted. But the situation that occurred on that day inside the mall has been recorded by the shopping mall monitoring device. When I saw that the person he was in conflict with was you, I knew that the person who sent others to deal with him was you, because you are the only one who has this ability.”

“Really interesting conclusion. Well then, does police officer Eiko want to take me back for interrogation?”

“No. Maybe you do not believe, but I have no intention to continue to investigate this case. For a man worse than a beast like him, I have no interest in doing anything for him. In fact, I came here mainly to ask you one question.”

“What?”

The female police’s eyes shiningly looked at him, “Were you the man in black that night?”

“What man in black?” Lei Yin cursed in his heart, This woman really recognized me, but do not know how much.

“I know you are certainly that guy.” Eiko Kotoshi closely watched his eyes.

“I am sorry, I really do not understand what you are talking about?” Lei Yin began to know this woman’s card; she actually was not sure he was that person and was just bluffing.

Sure enough, after looking at each other’s for a while, Eiko Kotoshi’s eyes seemed to show a trace of disappointment.

Lei Yin sniggered in his heart. For a thousand years old ghost like him, even if he have to show more absurd lies, the look in his eyes will not have the slightest flaw, so how could this woman be able to see through him?

“Well, anyway, one day I will know.”

To see her so easy to say that, Lei Yin was actually a bit surprised.

Eiko Kotoshi stood up, stretched herself, and then smiled at Lei Yin: “I do not know if this has anything to do with me returning to my Alma Mater, but I feel like my whole body is truly relaxed. Previously I begrudge you for seemingly knowing everything, but unwilling to say anything. But now, seeing that you are studying in this Teikyo University, I realize that you are actually my Junior. Moreover, you are also much younger than me. Perhaps because of these relationships, I begin to feel that your arrogance is kind of cute.”

Being called “cute” by someone, moreover, that someone was a young woman, even the bulletproof-thick-skinned Lei Yin has to feel a burning sensation on his face.

His grandma! When this father began to explore the world, your grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather has not even born yet!

“Hey, are you finished? If yes, then you can leave. I do not have much time to chat with you.”

Seeing his discontent expression, Eiko Kotoshi smiled, “Whether you are that person or not, I thank you. Everything has been in the past and my eight years of burden have finally been put down. Well, I won’t waste your time any longer, goodbye.” After that, she turned around and walked outside.

Lei Yin thoughtfully looking at her back. He suddenly found that, in a certain spot, this woman is actually quite nice.
