As if a wonderful performance had come to an end, warm applause continued to ring out in the banquet hall.
Tang Ze, who appeared to be calm and thankful, was actually so embarrassed that he was about to be kicked out of the villa.
He really didn't know how the train of thought of this group of elites had come to the point where they gave warm applause as if they had finished a performance.
It was obvious that he just repeated the criminal's murder method and then talked about what he did in the dark.
How did it become a scene like a "hero's triumphal return"?
But Tang Ze forgot that in Japan, a country where everyone is a middle school student, people have always worshipped the strong.
And everything he had done before was shocking in the eyes of ordinary people, and it was a scene that only appeared in novels.
The guests all followed the herd mentality. Someone subconsciously clapped to express his excitement because Tang Ze's reasoning and actions were too exciting, and everyone followed suit instinctively.
That’s why we have the constant applause now.
All in all, it was probably a guest who had a sudden impulse that caused everyone to follow the crowd and lead to this embarrassing situation.
Fortunately, this scene did not last long and the applause soon stopped.
"Thank you so much, Detective Tang Ze. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been killed this time."
After the applause stopped, Hoshina Rukako came over to express her gratitude to Tang Ze.
"You're welcome. Since I promised to protect your safety, I will naturally do my best to do it." Tang Ze smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry for ruining your cake."
"Compared to my life, this little loss is nothing." Hoshina Rukako waved her hand nonchalantly. She knew what was important.
The three years of threatening letters were finally resolved, and this was the thing that made her feel most at ease.
As for cakes and other things, it doesn’t matter if they are ruined. She has plenty of cakes and doesn’t care about just one or two.
"Oh, by the way, please leave the scene as it is for now." Tang Ze looked at Rukako Hoshina and said, "When the police arrive, they will need to collect evidence and so on, so don't clean up for now."
"I understand. Ome, you should also tell the guests not to go near that area." Hoshina Rukako called the butler over and gave instructions.
"I understand, ma'am." The butler bowed humbly, then trotted off to evacuate the curious guests who had gathered around him.
Hoshina Rukako followed Tang Ze to the side of Kiyobe Satoru, looked at him hatefully and said, "You guy, I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to kill me!"
"Because my playmate died unexpectedly because of you." Lying on the ground, Kiyobe Satoru looked at Hoshina Rukako and said, "I want revenge, what's wrong with that?!"
"Wait, didn't you say that at my brother's funeral?" Zhou Fang Zhiqiu was surprised. "I remember you said it was just an accident."
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought at the time." Qingbian Dingwu heard this and said, "But it wasn't until the day of the funeral that I heard her words!!"
"What did I say!?" Hoshina Rukako said angrily, "No matter what you say, he died in an accident. It has nothing to do with me!?"
"Why doesn't it matter?"
Qingbian Dingwu roared angrily, "That day at the funeral, you lectured your housekeeper about why he hadn't found a new watchmaker yet.
But your butler just said that when he thought of the deceased watchmaker, he couldn't muster the energy to look for the new watchmaker, and you flew into a rage.
You said, "A broken clock can only be thrown away and replaced with a new one. The same goes for watchmakers!"
How can you say such cold-blooded words?!
Broken items can be replaced, but people and items are different. You don’t treat him as a human being at all, but as an item that can be discarded at will!
You cold-blooded bastard! ! ”
"How could it be..."
Hearing what Kiyobe Shogo said, Ayako couldn't help but let out a soft cry. Xiaolan beside her also showed an expression of disbelief. She obviously didn't expect that the seemingly kind Hoshina Rukako would have such a cold-blooded side.
The guests around them had the same reaction as them. After hearing what Kiyobe Shogo said, they all looked at Hoshina Rukako with surprised and doubtful eyes, as if they were getting to know the person in front of them again.
“Shut up, shut up!!”
The scrutinizing and wary eyes around her made Hoshina Rukako feel like a thorn in her side. In the past, people were polite or fawning to her, and no one had ever looked at her like this.
However, Zhou Fang Zhiqiu's words exposed her true nature and let everyone present know what kind of person she was.
Along with it came a look that made her tremble with fear.
Curiosity, indifference, resistance, scrutiny... all kinds of eyes were cast on Hoshina Rukako, making her almost collapse.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Ze just stood aside and watched coldly, with no intention of going up to help.
However, Suho Tomoaki's brother died in an accident while repairing a clock. Hoshina Rukako was innocent of this and she had nothing to do with it.
But it is also true that Hoshina Rukako is indifferent to life and treats it as an object, so she is now reaping the consequences of her own actions.
I believe that after tonight, the rumors about Rukako Hoshina's character will spread to the entire upper class circle through the guests attending the banquet.
She will also completely lose her credibility and trust in the upper class society, and then die socially.
