"If I directly ask the government to re-investigate this case, the police officers from the Beifan Station will definitely kick me out."

"So, I had to take a dangerous approach...I lied to Beifan that my friend had been killed by villains."

"My goal is very simple - even if there is only one person, I hope that there will be a 'three times' warrior who is good at criminal investigation to help me clear the grievances of Aqi and Aden!"

"Whenever there is a serious incident such as a murder, the 'three times' samurai must be dispatched to investigate - this is the routine rule of the institute."

"Therefore, after receiving my report, the Beifan Office immediately dispatched a Sadachi Hui Tongxin, who will be fully responsible for the cases reported by my office."

"And this name is Domachi Hui Doshin...it is your father: Tachibana Takayuki!"

"In this way, I used deceit and deception in exchange for the opportunity to meet your father."

"At that time, I was already isolated and helpless, with no other way out."

"If Mr. Tachibana is not willing to help me... then I really have no choice..."

"It can be said that Mr. Tachibana at that time was my only hope..."

"I pretended to Mr. Ju that I was taking him to the scene of the murder, but in fact I was taking him to the deserted temple where A Qi was killed."

"I faced the place where Aqi fell and explained everything to Mr. Orange..."

"I said: Mr. Orange, please, please help me."

"Lying about the truth... Such behavior is an unforgivable felony according to the laws of the shogunate."

"I have committed such a heinous crime. Mr. Tachibana could have just ignored my pleas and sent me to a prison cell."

"But he didn't do that."

"He chose to believe me..."

"He accepted my prayer!"

"In fact, when Mr. Tachibana nodded in agreement, I couldn't believe my eyes..."

"No matter what the reason was, I made a false report and deceived the government. It is an indisputable fact."

"If Mr. Tachibana hadn't sent me to jail as soon as possible, he would have been in trouble himself."

"Requiring the other party to take huge risks to investigate a case that has long been concluded by the government... To be honest, I myself feel that my request is too much."

"That's why I was so shocked that Mr. Orange was willing to believe in me and help me..."

"To me, Mr. Tachibana at that time... was simply a light that illuminated the darkness!"

"Mr. Orange cooperated with me. On the surface, he pretended to be dealing with the non-existent 'friend's murder', but secretly he was secretly investigating the true cause of death of Aqi and Aden!"

"He used the broken medicine as a clue to start a search."

"Because the investigation was carried out secretly without the knowledge of his superiors, he could not ask for help from other colleagues, or even ask his subordinate Oka Yin to help."

"He has no companions except me..."

"And I am just a weak private school teacher with no brains and no connections. I am completely unable to provide practical assistance to Mr. Tachibana."

"In other words, Mr. Tachibana is completely alone..."

"Even so, Mr. Tachibana spent several months and single-handedly found out that the broken medicine is closely related to the Qingshui clan!"

When Qingdeng heard this, he couldn't help but interjected:

"Mr. Kikuchi, Takayuki Tachibana...how did my father find out that the Qingshui clan was involved with the 'painkiller'?"

"This...I really don't know..."

Kikuchi shook his head.

"Mr. Orange never disclosed the specific investigation process to me. He only informed me of the progress and results of the investigation from time to time."

Qingdeng was not surprised to receive such an answer.

However, any competent "criminal police" will not disclose the specific progress of the case to outsiders casually, even if the other party is a family member of the victim of the case.

"Okay then... please continue."

Ju Qingden gestured to Kikuchi to continue.

"I remember very clearly that it was September of the fifth year of Ansei (1858), and Mr. Tachibana found out that the broken medicine was related to the Qingshui clan."

"Things should be great."

"However, not long after that...Mr. Orange suddenly became addicted to gambling and visited casinos all day long."

"I have asked Mr. Tachibana in detail about this matter and tried to help him."

"I told him sincerely: If the family is in trouble and needs money urgently, I will do my best."

"But he didn't say anything...neither responded nor explained."

"Until his death, he never said a word as to why he suddenly became addicted to gambling."

"However, even though Mr. Tachibana didn't say anything, I already had my own guess."

"The casinos Mr. Tachibana visits are all casinos owned by the Qingshui clan."

"Although I have no chance to get the truth from him, I guess: Mr. Tachibana is not addicted to gambling at all! He is imitating Oishi Zangsuke, defiling himself, lowering the vigilance of the Qingshui clan, and using the casino to

To gain access to the inside of the Qingshui clan to obtain information!"
