"Excuse me...... Is this the Nakai family?"

"Hey!"

As the door was opened from the inside, a lady who looked very similar to the photo poked her head out of the door with a puzzled expression, looking at Lin Shuichi and Miki with some puzzlement.

"I'm so sorry, we're searching for a lesson......! Are you Takeshi Nakai's wife?"

"Ah...... Hey, do you have anything to do?"

"Hmm...... We're investigating a few things about Officer Nakai right now, so ...... May I delay you for a few minutes and let us ask you a few questions?"

"Uh...... Hey, please come in first!"

Takeshi Nakai's widow said as she let Shuichi Hayashi and Miki into her apartment. The Nakai family lives in a separate apartment in Nerima Ward, and although it looks unattractive from the outside, it looks very spacious from the inside. The decoration style of the home is Western. There are not many small houses that are divided into many small houses with sliding doors like most homes. Therefore, it looks like it is empty.

When Lin Xiuyi followed the other party into the living room, he saw the shrine placed in front of the room at a glance. With the consent of the other party, Lin Xiuyi cautiously walked to the shrine, lit a pillar of incense and inserted it on the incense burner, and then knocked on the copper slab on the side. Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiu folded his hands and expressed his condolences to the deceased.

"I'm sorry to bother you when you're grieving, but ...... We'd like to know a little bit about Officer Nakai, and we hope it won't make you feel too embarrassed!"

"It's okay...... If there's anything you want to ask, just ask!"

Nakai's widow said as she skillfully picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and put it to her mouth, but perhaps suddenly realizing that there was a guest to be there again today, Mrs. Nakai suddenly took the cigarette from her mouth again, and then ...... A little embarrassed, he asked Lin Xiuyi:

"That...... Do you mind if I smoke?"

"Ah...... We're just here to ask a few questions!"

"Okay, then I'll ...... By the way, I'd better go make you two a cup of tea first!"

Mrs. Nakai got up from her seat as she spoke, and walked in the direction of the restaurant. After Mrs. Nakai left, Lin Xiuyi, who was sitting in place, couldn't help but look at the furnishings in the room with some boredom, and soon he was attracted by many paintings hanging on the wall that looked like children.

There are numerous paintings hanging on the walls of Nakai's house, all of which depict scenes with his family. Although it is made by children, it does not look rough, on the contrary, there are many remarkable points in terms of color and outline. What is particularly interesting is that the painter seems to be particularly fond of painting flowers and plants, such as insects lying in the grass, plants with small flowers, and ......

Just as Lin Xiu was fascinated by these paintings on the wall, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a person standing next to him. So she hurriedly turned her head to you, but when she looked down, she saw a child who was looking at her.

"These ...... Did you draw all of them?"

Lin Xiuyi squatted down and asked the little boy with a smile, but the little boy just glanced at Lin Xiuyi and ran to his mother who was making tea for Lin Xiuyi and the others by the stove.

"What's the matter, Junichi, did you say hello when you saw the guests?"

When Mrs. Nakai saw the little boy running towards her, she was a little embarrassed to owe Lin Xiuyi. Lin Xiuyi smiled disappreciatively, and then asked Mrs. Nakai with some curiosity:

"Your son's drawing is really good! By the way, is his name Junichi?"

"Hmm...... Shunichi, say hello to your uncle!"

Although he received encouragement from his mother, it was a pity that the little boy named Shunichi just closed his eyes and hugged his mother in horror. This made Lin Xiu feel embarrassed again and again, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little curious about this little boy.

"I'm really sorry to make you laugh! Junyi, this kid is different from other children of the same age, please don't take it to heart!"

"Oh......"

Hearing Mrs. Nakai's explanation, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but glance at the little boy named Shunichi again. Until now, the little boy was still hiding behind his mother, poking his head out a little timidly to look at Lin Xiuyi. And Lin Xiuyi nodded slightly to the other party, which was regarded as a greeting.

After Mrs. Nakai brought the hot tea, Lin Xiuyi found an opportunity to ask about her acquaintance with Nakai Yi. At the same time, he also asked about the wedding date of the two.

"That...... You mean, you want to ask why my husband and I got married last year, right?"

Of course, I know I'm presumptuous in asking these questions, but ...... I'm like that, sometimes I'm always thinking about small things, please don't mind!"

"Hmm...... Nothing!Actually...... It's not a big deal! The matter of getting married, in fact, I took the initiative to refuse at first! Speaking of which, you may not believe it, but Ah Yi and I met when we were in Ogasawara. At that time, I had just graduated from high school (high school) and was hesitating about what to do in the future, when a friend who usually has a good relationship invited me to take a trip to Ogasawara Village together, and it was at that time that Ah Yi and I would meet......"

"Oh...... I see......! You met Officer Nakai when he was still working at the police station in Ogasawara Village! What about later? Did you meet again after he returned to Tokyo?"

"Hey, we've been living together for a while, but I haven't agreed to marry him all this time. It wasn't until last year that I finally made up my mind that I wanted you to continue your lives as family members......"

As she spoke, Mrs. Nakai subconsciously picked up the cigarette on the table again, took out one and put it to her mouth, and then she lit the cigarette with a lighter.

Through the enchanting smoke, Lin Xiuyi felt that the woman sitting in front of him seemed to be a woman who had seen through the things of the world, although she did not show great grief over the death of her husband as ordinary housewives showed. But Lin Xiuyi still felt the deep longing for her husband that Mrs. Nakai hid in her heart.
