The next day.
At Takasugi Toshihiko's home.
The area had been cordoned off with police tape.
Relevant police officers were searching the scene for evidence.
"Something big has happened."
Miwa Sato looked at Takasugi Toshihiko lying on the sofa with his lower body covered by a white cloth, her expression solemn.
Wataru Takagi, who was recording the scene of death next to her, asked curiously, "Officer Sato, what's wrong? Didn't he die suddenly due to a drug overdose?"
After a pause, Wataru Takagi said with a serious face, "Could it be… Officer Sato, you found something wrong?"
"Something wrong?"
Miwa Sato glanced at Wataru Takagi and said unhappily, "You watch too many TV dramas, right? Where are there so many things that are wrong?"
"The forensic doctor's preliminary identification results are already out, he died suddenly because of an overdose of poison, and there are no traces of being controlled."
"S-Speaking of which, that's true."
Wataru Takagi scratched his head awkwardly, then asked, "Then what about your sentence just now… 'Something big has happened,' what's that about?"
"Don't you think this person looks familiar?" Miwa Sato asked rhetorically.
"Um… no impression." Wataru Takagi stared at Takasugi Toshihiko for a while, then shook his head.
"If nothing unexpected happened, he would have become Inspector Matsumoto's son-in-law yesterday…"
Miwa Sato said, "But some accidents happened… The wedding didn't happen."
"Ah… so that's how it is. I arrived late yesterday… I only knew that the wedding was canceled due to scheduling issues."
Wataru Takagi suddenly understood, and he finally understood why Miwa Sato would say something big had happened.
He was a little curious: "What exactly happened… to make this groom take so many drugs?"
"…"
Miwa Sato didn't say anything, she had already promised Inspector Matsumoto that she wouldn't say those things.
"In short, I'll leave the situation at the scene to you to handle." Miwa Sato turned and left, saying, "I have to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department."
"I understand."
After Wataru Takagi watched Miwa Sato leave, he looked at the corpse again, hesitated for a moment, and felt that he should do something more, maybe he could find unexpected clues to impress Miwa Sato.
Thinking of this, Wataru Takagi immediately sent someone to contact the apartment manager to request the surveillance footage of this floor.
Who knew that the police officer said, "Officer Takagi… Officer Sato has already sent us to check the surveillance. Last night, apart from the deceased and the person who reported the case, no third person entered their room."
"...Is… Is that so?"
Wataru Takagi scratched his head awkwardly and said with a dry laugh, "Then… then it's nothing."
...
Matsumoto Sayuri didn't know about Takasugi Toshihiko's death at all.
Because Lin Yi didn't give her a chance to know.
Because when Matsumoto Sayuri woke up, she woke up listening to "Castle in the Sky."
She walked to the living room, and from the angle of the bedroom door, the sunlight from outside the window was shining on Lin Yi, and he was focused on playing "Castle in the Sky", a scene like a dream.
Matsumoto Sayuri felt at that moment that this man was simply born for her, and even their favorite piano pieces were exactly the same.
It seemed that heaven had destined them to be a couple.
After Lin Yi finished playing the piano piece, he turned his head and glanced at Matsumoto Sayuri, smiling and putting down the piano lid.
That action, that smile, made Matsumoto Sayuri fall in love in an instant.
She even couldn't help but wonder, what kind of fool was I before? How could I have fallen for a man who can't even play the piano?
Indeed, those who can play the piano are the most handsome.
"Awake? Come and have breakfast."
Lin Yi personally went over and pulled Matsumoto Sayuri to the dining room, where she found breakfast already laid out on the table.
She couldn't help but sink into Lin Yi's gentle embrace.
She felt as happy as if she were married.
While eating breakfast, Matsumoto Sayuri couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you really like 'Castle in the Sky'?"
"Yes."
Lin Yi said with a smile, "I started learning to play the piano because of this piano piece."
"Really?" Matsumoto Sayuri was overjoyed, her face filled with the word "Happy".
Seeing Matsumoto Sayuri so happy, Lin Yi opened Matsumoto Sayuri's personal information and checked her favorability.
It had already soared to 120 points.
Literary girls are easy to pursue in some ways, and difficult in others.
Easy to pursue because once you hit the spot in her heart, have a common language with her, and are on the same wavelength, then all the beautiful fantasies about love in her heart will burst out at once.
Her favorability increases very quickly.
Difficult to pursue because if you can't find the right wavelength and can't enter her world, even if you are the richest man in the world, she still won't care about you.
Lin Yi took a sip of coffee, hiding the smugness on his face.
He didn't like Castle in the Sky at all. He even learned to play the piano this morning by crawling over, eating bread, and watching videos.
He was still worried about which piano pieces to learn to resonate with Matsumoto Sayuri.
Just then, Matsumoto Sayuri's phone alarm rang, and the alarm ringtone was Castle in the Sky.
Lin Yi immediately knew that Castle in the Sky was Matsumoto Sayuri's thing.
He immediately learned Castle in the Sky, and then played it over and over again until Matsumoto Sayuri woke up.
To create an atmosphere, he also specially asked the waiter to help move the position of the piano so that the sunlight would shine on him.
All the beautiful scenery in Matsumoto Sayuri's eyes, what she thought was God's will, was actually all arranged by Lin Yi.
There are not so many destinies in this world. It's just that there are many things that you don't know and don't think about knowing, so you attribute them to fate.
Fate is very busy, it is too lazy to care about you.
In short, under Lin Yi's meticulous arrangement.
Matsumoto Sayuri didn't even have time to be sad, and was immersed in the world of music and love, unable to extricate herself.
When she was tired of playing the piano, she used her body as a piano and continued to play. The sound was not only beautiful, but also easy to make people addicted.
This made Matsumoto Sayuri lose the concept of time all of a sudden, just like summer vacation, it passed by so quickly without paying attention.
Matsumoto Sayuri was also like this.
When she regained her sense of time, she realized that three days had passed since that night.
