Kyoto Investigator: "May I ask who you are? Wang... Wang Zixuan?"

Wang Zixuan replied indifferently, "Yeah. What about it?"

Kyoto Investigator: "Is the Hades of the Underworld, the supreme commander of the Asia-Pacific region, your..."

Wang Zixuan: "My older sister."

The Kyoto investigator was so startled he lost his footing and began to tip backward, only to be caught by two men behind him. Moments later, the same investigator rushed back, carrying an array of delicious refreshments.

Kyoto Investigator: "Haha, eat while it’s hot, please, while it’s hot."

Hao Yingjun: "Big sister certainly has some formidable influence."

Hao Yingjun turned back to glare at the investigator, demanding sharply, "Hey, what about the issue with our investigation permit?"

The Kyoto investigator bowed and scraped, "Consider it done, consider it done."

With that, he pulled a document from his pocket and handed it to Wang Zixuan. Hao Yingjun snatched it away immediately.

Hao Yingjun grumbled, "It’s all your fault. If you had just told us sooner, we wouldn't have had to deal with such poor investigative conditions."

Wang Zixuan shot Hao Yingjun a sidelong glance. "Get lost."

Wang Zixuan really didn't like talking about her relationship with the Hades. She always felt that the Hades was hiding something from her.

The Kyoto investigator circled around to face Wang Zixuan again. "Our leader mentioned you might be visiting Kyoto soon. Tell me, what are the odds? Such a coincidence, hahahaha."

He then produced a hot water bottle, offering to soothe her with it. Wang Zixuan turned her head to dodge, glared at him, and snatched the water bottle away to use it herself.

Wang Zixuan: "Enough chatter. We have a case to solve."

Kyoto Investigator: "No problem at all."

He snapped his fingers and commanded, "Come."

A Mercedes pulled up to the curb instantly, leaving Hao Yingjun stunned.

The Kyoto investigator sprinted to the car door, gesturing for them to enter with a bow.

Wearing a beaming smile, he said, "Please."

In the interrogation room of the 444 Kyoto Convenience Store, Hao Yingjun and Wang Zixuan sat on one side, while Hu Xiaoxiao had been sitting on the other for quite some time.

Hao Yingjun couldn't help but ask, "Are you the former Xu Miaohan?"

Hu Xiaoxiao looked at him with a faint smile. "Does that question even matter anymore? Before we separated, we were one person. After we split, we long ago developed our own separate ways of living. I even changed my name. Aside from the body, we have almost nothing in common."

Wang Zixuan: "But after drifting outside for so long, you felt your life becoming increasingly unsatisfactory. You started to regret wandering. Is that when you killed her? To take her place?"

Hu Xiaoxiao stared straight at her for a long time before replying, "In life, she certainly lived more comfortably than I did. But I don't envy her in the slightest. And I certainly wouldn't kill her."

Wang Zixuan: "Stop trying to quibble. We found your train ticket back to M City on the day of the crime."

She stared intently at her, hoping to capture every subtle change in her expression.

Hu Xiaoxiao: "M City... it was Xu Miaohan who asked me to go back. The summer I turned eighteen, Xu Miaohan received an acceptance letter. She wanted to continue singing, but her parents, family, and friends all disagreed. Because of this, she had a massive argument with Wang Feiyue. Faced with an impossible choice, she made a major decision in her life: to split herself. She found a very secluded spot, set up a razor-thin steel wire on the first floor, and jumped from the third. Her body was sliced in two by the wire. It took a very long time."
