As if a wonderful performance had come to an end, warm applause continued to ring out in the banquet hall.
On the surface, Tang Ze still calmly thanked him, but in fact, he was still so embarrassed that he almost left the villa.
He really didn't know how the brain circuits of this group of elites got to the point where they seemed to be giving warm applause after a performance.
It was obvious that he just recounted the prisoner's murder method, and then told what he did in the dark.
Why did it become a scene like a "hero's triumph"?
But Tangze forgot that in a country like Neon where everyone is in the middle, people have always worshiped the strong.
And everything he has done before is shocking in the eyes of ordinary people, and is a scene that can only appear in novels.
And the guests all have a herd mentality. Someone was so excited by Tangze's reasoning and actions that he subconsciously clapped to express his feelings, and everyone followed suit instinctively.
That's why the current scene of constant applause has occurred.
Generally speaking, it should be considered that a certain guest's whim caused everyone to follow suit, leading to this embarrassing scene.
Fortunately, this scene did not last long, and the applause soon stopped.
"Thank you so much, Tangze Criminal. If it weren't for you this time, I might have been killed."
After the applause stopped, Rukako Hoshina came up to express her gratitude to Karasawa.
"You're welcome. Since I promised to protect your safety, I will naturally try my best to do it." Tangze smiled politely and said, "I just ruined your cake. I'm really sorry."
"Compared with my life, this little loss is nothing." Rukako Hoshina waved her hand nonchalantly, she still knew what was important.
Three years of threatening letters were finally resolved, which was the most reassuring thing for her.
As for the cakes, it didn't matter if they were ruined. She had plenty of cakes and didn't care about one or two.
"Oh, by the way, please keep the scene as it is for the time being." Karasawa looked at Rukako Hoshina and said, "After the police arrive, they will need to collect evidence on the spot, so don't clean it up for the time being."
"I understand, Ome, please ask the guests not to come near that area." Ruikako Hoshina called the butler over and warned her.
"I understand, madam." The butler bowed humbly, and then trotted away to evacuate the curious guests nearby.
And Rukako Hoshina followed Karasawa to Karube Sadago, looked at him hatefully and said: "You guy, I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me!"
"Because it was because of you that my playmate died unexpectedly." Sadago Obebe, who was lying on the ground, looked at Rukako Hoshina and said, "I want revenge, what's wrong with that?
?”
"Wait a minute, didn't you say that at my brother's funeral before?" Zhou Fangzhiqiu was stunned when he heard this: "I remember you said that it was just an accident."
"Yes, I did think so at the time." Qingbian Dingwu said after hearing this: "But it wasn't until the day of the funeral that I heard her words!!"
"What did I say!?" Ruikako Hokushina said angrily: "No matter what you say, he died unexpectedly and has nothing to do with me!?"
"Why doesn't it matter?"
Qingbian Dingwu roared angrily: "That day at the funeral, you lectured your butler why you haven't found a new watchmaker yet.
But your butler just said that the thought of the dead clockmaker made him unable to find the heart of the clockmaker, and you became furious.
You said, "You can only throw away a broken clock and buy a new one to replace it. The same goes for the watchmaker!"
How could you say such cold-blooded words!!
Items can be replaced if they break, but people and items are different. You don't treat them as humans at all, but as objects that can be thrown away at will!
You cold-blooded guy!!"
"how come..."
Ayako couldn't help but let out a soft cry after hearing the words of Karube Sadago. Xiaolan on the side also showed an expression of disbelief. Apparently, she didn't expect that the seemingly kind-hearted Rukako Hoshina could be so cold-blooded.
one side.
The guests who had the same reaction as them were the guests around them. After hearing the words of Karube Sadago, they all looked at Rukako Hoshina with doubtful eyes, as if they were getting to know the person in front of them again.
"Shut up, shut up!!"
The scrutinizing and wary glances around her made Rukako Hoshina thorn in her back. People usually treated her politely or flatteringly, but no one had ever looked at her in such a way.
But Zhou Fang Zhiqiu's words exposed her true nature and let everyone present know what kind of person she was.
What followed was a look that made her tremble with fear.
Curiosity, indifference, resistance, scrutiny...
All kinds of eyes were focused on Rukako Hoshina, making her almost collapse.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Ze just stood aside and watched with cold eyes, without any intention of coming to help.
However, Sufang Zhiqiu's brother died in an accident while repairing a clock. Ruikako Hoshina was innocent in this matter, and she had no fault in it.
But Ruika Hoshina's indifference to life and her attitude of treating it like an object is also true, so she is reaping the consequences at this moment.
Presumably after tonight, rumors about Hoshina Rukako's character will spread to the entire upper class circle through the guests attending the banquet.
And she will completely lose credibility and trust in the upper class, and then die socially.
After all, no one wants to deal with or even become friends with such a cold-blooded person. After all, someone who can use other people's lives as objects and abandon them mercilessly when they are broken should not expect to be merciful in other places, especially in terms of interests.
.
No one would deal with such a person, even if he is hiding the same nature, but because of such a risky trend, they will avoid having too many interactions with Rukako Hoshina.
Neon is a small place to begin with, and the upper class circle is not that big. The words of Qingbian Tingwu can be said to have directly hit the credibility of Hoshina Rukako to the extreme.
It can be said that although Qing Bian Dingwu's last words did not kill her, they were truly heart-wrenching words.
Presumably, in the future, Rukako Hoshina will no longer be squeezed out by the upper class, and her family's business will plummet. If she is willing to accept her fate and stick to her current wealth, it will be enough for her to spend the rest of her life comfortably.
But if you don't understand the formality and rush into business, I'm afraid you will end up with your family ruined in the rest of your life.
But these have nothing to do with Karasawa. He is only responsible for the other party's safety. After this time, the relationship between the other party's husband and the Suzuki family is over, and there is no need to deal with him too much in the future.
As for the business dealings, even if Karasawa didn't say anything, Ayako would stop dealing with the other party after the transaction.
I believe there are many people who will make the same decision as Ayako.
But this is normal. After all, even if you still have a relationship with the other person, you have to consider whether the other person's reputation will affect you.
After all, people always subconsciously believe that birds of a feather flock together, and if you continue to deal with the other party, the other party will also damage your reputation.
Just like those celebrities whose houses collapsed in previous lives, as long as something happened, the merchants who had previously cooperated with him would terminate the contract overnight and sever the relationship.
There is no other way. If you continue to be a business partner with the other party, your own reputation and brand will also be hit. Therefore, in order to avoid being implicated, it is inevitable to sever the relationship.
One or two people are fine, but when there are more people, there will be a tendency of "breaking down the wall and pushing others to push". If there are a few more "evil wolves" who are not kind-hearted and take advantage of the situation, then Hoshina Rikako will be really miserable.
But again, these have nothing to do with Tang Ze. He doesn't want to have anything to do with the other party in the future, and he has no idea of helping the other party.
After calling the police, Tang Ze waited on the spot while dealing with a kind of guest who came to have a relationship with him.
By the time Officer Megure arrived, Karasawa already had a stack of business cards in his hands.
There is nothing we can do about it. Originally, they were a consortium that emerged after the financial crisis. They are strong and backed by the Suzuki family, an established consortium.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that although this new consortium has been established not long ago, it has no shortcomings and a stable position is inevitable.
In this case, Tangze also showed strong reasoning ability, which gave people a reason to cling to him.
Whether they are cooperating or hoping to make friends with him to prevent him from getting into trouble in the future, the attitude of these guests towards Tang Ze can be described as extremely enthusiastic.
On the contrary, Rukako Hoshina was left in the cold, and everyone avoided her, making it impossible for people to tell that she was the protagonist today.
It was not until police officer Megure arrived that Karasawa was rescued from this "social hell".
"You guys are here. If you come again, my face will become stiff with laughter."
Putting the stack of business cards he received into his pocket, Tangze watched the guests leave and rubbed the muscles on his cheeks and said, "If you don't come back, I will become a professional fake smiler."
"What happened to make you so popular?" Takagi on the side saw this and said with a smile.
"It's a long story."
Of course, even though he said that, after all, it involved attempted murder, Tangze still recounted the whole case in detail.
"So that's it."
After hearing what Karasawa said, Officer Megure suddenly smiled and said: "No wonder you are so popular, it seems that your reliable image has been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.
I’m afraid if something similar happens again, the first person they think of is you.”
"Thank you, let's leave quickly."
Tang Ze quickly waved his hand and urged: "Let's go quickly. These people are so enthusiastic. I really can't stand it anymore."
"Then let's go." Officer Megure waved and asked Takagi to walk out the door with Qingbei Sadago.
"Speaking of which, I really don't understand what you are thinking."
While walking, Officer Mumu looked at Qingqing strangely and realized: "I have seen many prisoners, but they only had the desire for revenge after their relatives and friends were killed.
But this time, objectively speaking, Rukako Hoshina did not do anything that caused your friend's death, right?
Just because she is too cold-blooded, you want to kill her?"
"My friend loves clocks more than anyone else. He once proudly told me that after he came here, not a single clock was thrown away."
Qingbian Dingwu said sadly: "Those clocks were cherished by him, and he even put his soul into each clock and treated them as family members.
But she trampled on all of this, which I couldn't bear.
Perhaps, what I did was not so much to avenge him, but rather to help them save them from the hands of the "Master of Time."
After hearing Qingbei Tingwu's words, Tang Ze didn't know what kind of expression he should face. Faced with Qingbian Tingwu's reasons, he had a subtle mixture of understanding and incomprehension.
This reason was somewhat absurd, but it also seemed reasonable, leaving Tang Ze unable to express his opinion.
But in the end Tang Ze gave up on understanding and respecting the other party's choice.
Of course, he will have to pay the price for his actions, and he hopes that the subsequent years of imprisonment will not make him regret his actions today.
After bidding farewell to Ruika Hoshina who sent them off with a forced smile, Karasawa and the others said hello to Mouri Kogoro and the others, and then drove away following the police car.
When the fork was no longer on the way, Officers Karasawa and Megure said hello, said goodbye and left.
"I didn't expect Mrs. Hoshiko to be such a person." After only the two of them were left, Ayako sighed a little, and looked at Karasawa with a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something.
"Who she is has nothing to do with us. The favor is over, and I have done my best by saving her life."
Karasawa seemed to know that Ayako was going to apologize, so he interrupted her in advance and said with a smile: "You don't have to feel guilty, even if she is a bad person, I will save her in this situation and let her accept the punishment of the law.
What's more, she just has low morals. There are many such people, but it does not mean that they can be killed at will.
At most, we can just stop dealing with her in the future and don't have to feel guilty or anything like that.
After all, we are one, aren’t we?”
As he spoke, Karasawa stretched out his hand to hold the other person's hand, and Ayako felt the warmth surging in her heart, and the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.
The two of them quickly put aside the troublesome things caused by Rukako Hoshina and quickly moved to other topics.
In the end, the topic between the two of them unknowingly turned to dinner. In the end, the two people who were not full had a discussion and decided to go to Yuantai's house to eat eel rice to fill their stomachs, and then go home to sleep.
Although compared to the food at the banquet, the eel rice was a bit monotonous, but compared to the banquet hall, the two of them ate more comfortably and happily.
After the two of them had eaten and drank enough to go home and wash up, Tang Ze lay on the bed and clicked on the system panel expectantly.
And the next moment, the long-awaited screen refreshes kept beating in front of his eyes.
As the news continued to update, Tang Ze's expectations gradually increased.
