Chapter 195

Of course, they had stayed in the eerie school building for over six hours.

And the previous 'Bus Route 18' was the same; the time he spent in the eerie dungeon would also pass in reality, just at a different speed.

"So, don't worry, she probably just has something to do for the moment and can't reply to your message in time."

"Mm."

With Lin Ye's comfort, Tengabayashi Muku felt at ease.

She took a sip of coffee, the bitterness and sweetness spreading on the tip of her tongue, and used a spoon to feed a small piece of red-and-white strawberry cream cake into her mouth.

The delicate and smooth texture spread rapidly, filling Tengabayashi Muku's heart with joy and relaxation.

Sweets always make people happier.

"Lin-kun, you have some too."

"Okay."

…

Ten minutes later,

Tengabayashi Muku went to the restroom, and Lin Ye waited outside alone. Bored, he walked around nearby to stretch his muscles.

At 3:30 in Chiba, the sky was a vast blue. Feeling the warm breeze, Lin Ye's mood grew increasingly better.

"It's him…"

Suddenly, an indignant female voice rang out.

"Officer Murakami, he's the one who kidnapped my sister. Hurry and arrest him."

Lin Ye turned to look and saw an indignant girl with long purple hair, and beside her was a police officer in uniform.

Silence spread.

Passersby at the scene cast their gazes over.

"A kidnapper?"

"Someone just committed suicide, and now there's a kidnapper. Chiba hasn't been peaceful lately!"

"This man looks quite decent; how could he be a kidnapper?"

"But looking at that girl, she doesn't seem to be joking. With such a beautiful older sister, the younger sister must be very pretty too. It's not hard to understand why she'd be kidnapped."

…

…

The passersby discussed among themselves.

Murakami stepped forward.

He had come to the Chiba shopping mall to handle the couple's suicide incident from fifteen minutes ago, and just now, this girl named 'Tengabayashi Ann' had approached him, claiming she had found the kidnapper who had abducted her twin sister.

The girl also indicated that the kidnapper was not far away. Since that was the case, he could only come over to take a look first.

"Hello, I am Officer Murakami from the Chiba Police Station. Miss Tengabayashi suspects that you kidnapped her sister. Please cooperate with my questioning now."

Officer Murakami asked.

"This is a misunderstanding. I did not kidnap Miss Tengabayashi Muku."

"Impossible! You and my sister both disappeared from the cinema at the same time. No matter how I try to contact my sister, I can't reach her. If she wasn't tricked and kidnapped by you, how could she not have contacted me until now?"

Tengabayashi Ann glared at Lin Ye, her aura fierce; she even wanted to rush forward.

Her younger sister was the person she valued most, a treasure she would never allow anyone to touch.

For her sister, she could abandon everything.

"You can check the messages on your phone."

Tengabayashi Ann took out her phone, only to find that it had powered off.

"It's out of battery, it's off. Tell me, where is my sister? She disappeared with you; you must know where she is. Don't give me lies like she's already gone home."

Lin Ye could understand the concern for her sister.

But being called a kidnapper, this feeling was really a bit 'special'.

"She's right behind you. You can see her if you turn around…"

"Hm?"

"Sister…"

Tengabayashi Muku, who had walked around after leaving the cafe and spotted Lin Ye, walked over quickly, only to discover her sister Tengabayashi Ann was there.

"Sister, that's great. I thought something had happened to you."

Tengabayashi Muku took two small steps and rushed into Tengabayashi Ann's arms, hugging her sister tightly. Feeling the warmth of her sister's body and the familiar, pleasant scent, her whole heart melted.

"Muku."

But how was it that she was the one who had something happen to her? It was clearly she who had been worried about Muku's safety!

"Muku, where did you go before? Why did you suddenly disappear, and why didn't you answer your phone?"

"This…"

Tengabayashi Muku hadn't prepared an explanation, and now, being pressed by her sister, she was at a loss and could only look at Lin Ye with a pleading gaze.

"We must have gone to the wrong cinema screening hall. The signal there wasn't good, so we didn't receive your message. Miss Tengabayashi and I were even wondering why you hadn't come yet."

"Then you could have come out to look for me!"

Tengabayashi Ann instinctively didn't believe it; she couldn't accept this reason. She always felt that something had happened between Lin Ye and her sister.

"Sister, I… I fell asleep. The movie was a bit boring."

Tengabayashi Muku explained in a low voice.

Faced with this explanation from her sister, Tengabayashi Ann recalled the beginning of the video; it was indeed very boring, and she had almost fallen asleep too. It was just that later, when her sister didn't appear for a long time, she became worried and left the cinema to start searching for the traces of her sister and Lin Ye, and even called the police.

"Fine!"

She huffed and decided to question her sister properly after getting home.

Now there were too many people, especially with Lin Ye at the scene; her sister definitely wouldn't tell the truth. Once they got home, she, as the older sister, would definitely make her sister speak the truth.

"Miss Tengabayashi, since your sister is safe and sound now and it was just a misunderstanding, I will take my leave first."

Officer Murakami felt helpless, but it was a good thing it was just a misunderstanding.

No one had an accident, no one was hurt.

"Sorry, Officer Murakami, very sorry."

Tengabayashi Ann apologized repeatedly.

"Be careful when going out in the future. As the younger sister, Miss Tengabayashi should also keep in touch with her sister in time; it's not good to make your sister worry."

"Sorry for the trouble."

"It's fine."

Murakami indicated it was fine.

"You too. Since the three of you came out to play together, don't separate. The one left alone easily lets their imagination run wild and causes misunderstandings."

He smiled and returned to the scene where the couple had committed suicide.

Leaving behind a helpless Lin Ye and a slightly shy Tengabayashi Muku.

"If I find out you bullied my sister, don't worry, I guarantee I won't beat you to death."

Tengabayashi Ann said the words 'beat to death' in a calm tone.

"Sister, Lin-kun didn't bully me. Don't threaten Lin-kun like that; it's not good."

"Calling him so intimately, it seems that in the few hours I wasn't there, something happened between you two that I don't know about,"

Tengabayashi Ann's scrutinizing gaze moved back and forth between Tengabayashi Muku and Lin Ye. Lin Ye stood firm, showing no reaction, and Tengabayashi Ann couldn't find anything. But Tengabayashi Muku was a girl who couldn't hide her thoughts; faced with her sister's scrutinizing gaze, she immediately exposed her guilty side.

"Hehe,"

She stared at Lin Ye.

"You say it. If you say it, I might consider letting you off the hook."

"Nothing happened."

"Muku."

"Sister, really nothing happened."

Tengabayashi Ann realized it would be very difficult to get the two of them to talk.

She wanted to question them further, but hearing the whispering voices of the passersby around her, she dropped the idea.

"It's said to be a love triangle. The man is dating the younger sister, and the older sister is dissatisfied and came to stop it."

"No, the older sister and the man are a couple, but the man isn't honest and privately asked the younger sister out to play, then was discovered by the older sister."

"But this older sister is really ruthless! She called the police directly saying the man is a kidnapper."
