Chapter 160

After finishing, she looked at Ren Amamiya with an inquisitive gaze.

To this, Ren Amamiya nodded slightly.

"Twenty years ago, Superintendent Matsumoto was indeed just an ordinary police inspector."

"At that time, it was precisely because he caught that criminal that he had the qualifications to continue moving upward."

"It can be said that if he had made some waves twenty years ago, Superintendent Matsumoto might still be an ordinary police inspector now."

"He might even have faced being transferred."

The process of promotion is often the most critical period, not to mention that there were people behind that case deliberately making small moves.

If Toshihiko Takasugi, who was adopted twenty years ago, had really told his foster parents about his own affairs, it might have truly interrupted Superintendent Matsumoto's path of promotion.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Kaguya Shinomiya had a look of realization.

"Perhaps he was confused at first because of his mother's death."

"But after calming down, once he truly wanted to take revenge, it's not like he couldn't do anything."

"During a critical period, just a little incitement could change many things."

"So, he should have already started his brand new life at that time."

Commonly known as "not missing home."

The life of an ordinary person and the life of a noble are naturally completely different.

As an ordinary person initially, Toshihiko Takasugi could clearly distinguish the difference between ordinary people and nobles.

In his childhood, when his mind had not yet fully developed, he experienced treatment that did not match his own conditions, so naturally, his mind completely took flight.

Subconsciously wanting to cut ties with his ordinary past self, he inevitably threw the matter of his mother's car accident to the back of his mind.

Actually, such things are quite normal.

After all, people die, but life has to go on.

Kaguya Shinomiya did not say these words directly, but almost everyone present understood.

"The flashy world dazzles the eyes."

"Everyone hopes to live a life that doesn't require hard labor; adults can't resist this temptation, let alone a child."

Ren Amamiya understood Toshihiko Takasugi at that time very well.

If he could have lived an easy and carefree life when he was a child, perhaps his current personality would have become different.

For a child who was only 7 years old twenty years ago, not having this resistance is normal.

"It's just that, clearly knowing who the person who truly killed his mother was, yet still shifting the main responsibility, this approach is indeed not very appropriate."

Kaguya Shinomiya also nodded slightly.

Such an approach is not just "not very appropriate," but quite inappropriate.

Clearly shouting that he wants to avenge his mother, but the things he does are venting his anger, not revenge against the true culprit.

If this person Toshihiko Takasugi were taking revenge on the criminal still locked in prison, she would acknowledge that the other party truly wanted revenge.

But the current style of doing things is just venting anger on a police officer who was pursuing the criminal.

And no matter how great this police officer's responsibility is, it is only secondary, and it was even this police officer who caught the criminal who caused Toshihiko Takasugi's mother's car accident.

Even so, he was still treated as the true culprit who caused his mother's death.

Such behavior is indeed too inappropriate.

"Hayasaka, is the footage of the poisoning filmed?"

"It has already been completed."

Ai Hayasaka had already returned to Kaguya Shinomiya's side at this moment.

"The footage has been confirmed; it indeed captured the groom, Toshihiko Takasugi, poisoning the lemon tea that Miss Suzuki drank with sodium hydroxide."

"Without a doubt, this is premeditated murder."

Sonoko Suzuki also stood up very timely at this moment.

"Hmph! It must be because I came to attend Teacher Matsumoto's wedding that they are taking revenge on our Suzuki conglomerate. It seems the Takasugi conglomerate is really dissatisfied with their past cooperation with us."

"Hayasaka, go call the police officers attending the wedding outside the door."

"I want to ask them what kind of behavior it is for the groom to poison and murder me at his own wedding."

"Yes, Miss Suzuki."

Ai Hayasaka smiled and bowed, then went to open the door to let in the people outside who had long been impatient.

Without a doubt, this is a very deliberate frame-up.

But not a single person present had any unease or guilt.

There was only disdain for a criminal who attempted murder.

"Click!"

The big door opened, and the people outside almost rushed in directly.

"Superintendent Matsumoto, I would like to ask why the groom would have the idea of premeditated murder against Miss Suzuki?"

Ai Hayasaka's words instantly froze the crowded state at the door.

Premeditated... murder!?

Those friends of the groom all widened their eyes.

This charge is really a bit too big.

And the target of the murder is the young lady of the Suzuki conglomerate.

In an instant, those who were just friends of the groom stepped back several steps.

Just kidding, everyone is friends when drinking.

But now this is premeditated murder; who is friends with a criminal?

"Premeditated... murder!?"

Kiyonaga Matsumoto's eyes narrowed, and he quickly looked into the room.

In an instant, he locked onto his daughter; well, she was sitting on a chair resting, very healthy.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

His eyes swept over Toshihiko Takasugi lying on the ground, and his face became very ugly.

Of course, he didn't believe that Toshihiko Takasugi was making a move on the second young lady of the Suzuki conglomerate; this man was definitely aiming at him, and this man's method of revenge was definitely targeting his daughter.

But Kiyonaga Matsumoto swept over the situation in the room and instantly felt much more at ease.

His eyes saw the second young lady of the Suzuki conglomerate standing over there, with superficial anger still hanging on her face.

Kiyonaga Matsumoto knew that this should be the action plan between his daughter and the second young lady of the Suzuki conglomerate.

He understood in his heart, so he didn't go to disturb this arrangement.

"Murder!?"

"That man actually did such a crazy thing."

Kiyonaga Matsumoto's face instantly turned terrifyingly dark.

"I didn't expect this man to actually use my daughter's feelings, and even use the relationship between my daughter and Miss Suzuki, to commit criminal acts against Miss Suzuki."

"Megure!"

"Here!"

Juzo Megure behind him immediately stood straight.

"Handcuff that bastard on the ground who dared to premeditate the murder of Miss Suzuki, and send him back to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation immediately."

"Also, notify the Takasugi conglomerate and the Suzuki conglomerate; they both need to come to the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"Yes!"

Juzo Megure glanced at Toshihiko Takasugi lying on the ground; he didn't think this man had the guts to make a move on the second young lady of the Suzuki family.

However, it was possible he made a move on Superintendent Matsumoto's daughter.

This wedding probably couldn't determine if the second young lady of the Suzuki family would come to attend, but as the heroine of this wedding, the bride would definitely attend.

Therefore, Toshihiko Takasugi's move on Superintendent Matsumoto's daughter was clearly higher.

But now this is to confirm Toshihiko Takasugi's attempted murder of the second young lady of the Suzuki family.

Although he guessed the truth, Juzo Megure didn't think Toshihiko Takasugi was innocent.

If he hadn't really committed the act of premeditated murder, there probably wouldn't be this arrangement today.

Juzo Megure walked over directly, took out handcuffs from behind, and handcuffed Toshihiko Takasugi, who was still in a dream, directly.
