Yasuo Ikeda is beyond saving.
He already had a heart condition, and the severe shock caused him to have a fatal attack.
This is the diagnosis made by a doctor at a private clinic upstairs.
The culprit behind this incident disappeared in the building. When the bodyguards went downstairs and asked around, they found that Akio Ikeda had not escaped downstairs.
However, news soon came from upstairs.
Akio Ikeda appeared on the 20th floor, and his target seemed to be the rooftop!
The two bodyguards felt a chill run down their spines.
The rooftop, that's not a good place!
"Let's go up!"
The rooftop of the Ikeda Building.
Xia Ye had already found her spot and was ready to perform the final act.
Soon, the rooftop door was pushed open.
Two bodyguards, Ogawa's assistant, and many employees from Ikeda Company and other companies rushed in.
"Master!"
When the two bodyguards saw Akio Ikeda lingering on the edge of the rooftop, their hearts jumped into their throats—it was too dangerous!
Akio Ikeda seemed to have just realized the crowd's arrival. He snapped out of his daze, watched the crowd retreat in panic, and shouted:
"do not come!"
"No! Young master, we're not going there. Don't move!"
The two bodyguards took two steps back, indicating that they would not move forward an inch!
"Dad is dead!"
Akio Ikeda's acting is getting better and better. His eyes are expressive and his voice is heart-wrenching, but he still refuses to admit his mistakes.
"It's all his fault!"
"If only he didn't have a heart condition!"
"If he agrees to give me the money!"
"If he had always done what I wanted, he wouldn't have died!"
“It’s none of my business!”
"Yes, yes, yes! This has nothing to do with you, young master!"
A bodyguard gestured with his hands to calm "Akio Ikeda," and defended him, saying, "You didn't know what would happen, it's really not your fault! It's all your father's fault!"
The onlookers looked over with strange eyes. Although they knew it was a temporary measure, something about what they were saying seemed off.
"real!?"
Akio Ikeda looked surprised and said in a hoarse voice:
"Could the old man possibly—ah!"
"Master!"
From the perspective of the onlookers, the young master was about to say something when he lost his footing and fell off the edge of the rooftop.
The two bodyguards rushed over, only to see a figure fall to the ground, almost smashed into a bloody pulp, with a large amount of blood splattering in all directions.
Chapter Seventy-Five: Xiaolan's Awakening
[Vermouth completes a special mission with Roland, and can copy any issued log reward 1/2 times!]
[Vermouth and Yoko Okino have completed a collaborative mission involving the mysterious identity of the Crane Needle. You can copy any previously issued log reward once!]
Ikeda Building.
In the art studio on the 25th floor.
Vermouth had removed her protective suit, revealing the face of a young and beautiful woman.
I heard a notification in the log.
A slight smile played on her lips, her starry eyes, framed by black contact lenses, brimming with joy.
As expected, Xia Ye's organization's missions, especially those involving poisoning, could trigger two rewards from a single mission.
only--
The idol Yoko Okino also completed the collaboration reward, and Vermouth felt slightly uncomfortable.
Could it be that my disciple suddenly came to ask me to do a mission because of her?
She didn't want to participate in any of the collaborative tasks those women were doing together for the time being, and conversely, she didn't want any other women's names to appear next to hers when she was doing collaborative tasks herself!
"teacher?"
Having changed out of the human skin mask, Xia Ye now had a very energetic young face, and his clothes had been changed into simple sportswear. After erasing the few traces left in the studio, he looked at Vermouth:
"What are you thinking?"
"No, nothing~"
Vermouth chuckled to herself.
She actually got jealous because someone else was working with her on a collaborative task. When did this cold and ruthless witch become so sentimental?
Like a little girl who is anxious and insecure.
but--
Hearing Xia Ye call him "teacher" did give me a different feeling.
It felt as if I was constantly tapping on that tiny crack in my heart, trying to widen it, to make that heart, imprisoned in darkness for decades, see the light of day again.
This feeling is not bad!
"Let's go outside, most of the people on the rooftop have left."
"Good~"
Xia Ye and Vermouth appeared silently in the emergency exit, walked to the twentieth floor, took the elevator, and went down to the first floor.
...
the other side.
In a hotel suite.
Yoko Okino called room service and ordered a lot of delicious snacks and drinks to entertain Yukiko and her party.
The girls sat on the sofa, gathered together, and chatted about topics that interested them.
After Xia Ye left in the morning.
Yoko Okino finished her practice quickly, and the group did not separate. After leaving the Nichiri TV station, they went to chat in the hotel room where Yoko Okino was temporarily staying.
A log notification sounded.
Yoko Okino was slightly taken aback.
"What's wrong, Yoko?"
Yukiko, who was chatting with Yoko Okino, noticed her unusual behavior.
In collaborative tasks, only the person completing the task together will receive a notification; others will not.
Yoko Okino hesitated for a moment and said:
"The log indicates that I have completed the collaborative mission for the Crane Needle identity, and it was done together with Vermouth!"
"The Crane Needle!"
The girls, who were extremely familiar with Xia Ye's identity and mission, naturally knew what this hint meant.
The mission of the Crane Needle is either to kill or to save people. Xia Ye went out with Akio Ikeda, so it's highly unlikely that he was saving someone. Therefore, this means that Xia Ye just killed someone, and with poison!
"Xiaolan?"
Yukiko looked at Ran with concern.
The few people here.
Having lived in the United States for several years, I've seen countless beautiful sights.
Ai and Akemi are from the Black Organization, so Natsume killing people is nothing to them.
Although Yoko is a pure idol, she is still in the entertainment industry and knows a lot about the dark side of things. Moreover, Xia Ye killed someone for her this time, so she will only be grateful and not afraid.
Only Xiaolan.
She was just an innocent and naive high school student.
Murder should be something very distant for her.
What's more, the one who committed the murder was Xia Ye, the person she loves. Could she possibly—
"Why are you looking at me?"
Xiao Lan suddenly smiled, her beautiful blue eyes blinking.
"Are you afraid I can't accept that Xia Ye killed someone?"
"You can accept?"
Even Ai Haibara was shocked!
She had originally intended to explain a few things about Xia Ye, but unexpectedly, Xiao Lan—
"I'm asking you all, is Xia Ye a bad person?" Xiao Lan asked everyone with a smile on her pretty face.
"of course not!"
Everyone unanimously denied it. Even based on Xia Ye's personality as shown in his diary, he at most just liked a lot of girls. Putting that aside, he could be considered a good person.
"right?"
Xiao Lan's beautiful eyes sparkled.
“I believe him. I believe he only killed those who deserved to die. Otherwise, with such a simple mission as the Immortal Crane Needle, he could have easily killed some people and gotten a lot of rewards. Why wouldn’t he have done it?”
0 ······Requesting flowers·· ··
"I'm glad you understand."
Yukiko was relieved; Ran was actually quite lucid.
"Well, although I still think we should resolve this through legal means."
Xiao Lan, the daughter of a prominent lawyer, is somewhat troubled.
Yukiko sighed and gave Yoko Okino a wink. Well, let's teach this child a lesson. There are still places in this world where light and law cannot reach.
"Xiao Lan, did you know that Tohka Kazusa has retired from the entertainment industry?" When Yoko Okino mentioned this name, even with her radiant appearance, her beautiful eyes still dimmed somewhat.
"I know, they said she's sick and needs to rest, wait—" Xiaolan said, then suddenly paused, asking incredulously, "Could it be?"
...... ........ .......
“Yes, it was definitely an illness—a ruptured vagina, a uterine infection…” Yoko Okino gritted her teeth, uttering one cruelly cruel word after another for a woman, finally saying sadly, “You’ve seen her picture, haven’t you? She was 1.7 meters tall with a very sexy and well-proportioned figure. When I visited her at her house a few days ago, she weighed less than 40 kilograms…”
"Crack!"
Xiao Lan's small hands snapped the corner off the marble coffee table, her pretty face contorted with rage, her eyes filled with murderous intent!
"brute!"
For Xiaolan, who has almost never cursed anyone, this word was already the limit of her vicious vocabulary.
"If Xia Ye hadn't intervened, I would have been next, Xiao Lan..."
Yoko Okino smiled wryly:
"I went to see you yesterday because I wanted to get to know Xia Ye as soon as possible and then ask him for help. I even planned to seduce him—"
