Tokyo Mystery Writers

Chapter 76 Twisted Love

When Hideomi Uyama witnessed the baby's mysterious death and Ryoko's triple personality, he felt a chill run down his spine.

The image of Kyoko tied to the bed, watching her son being soaked in formaldehyde, flashed through her mind.

Looking at the manuscript nearing its end, only two questions remain now, right?

What exactly is this supposed pregnancy that Kyogoku-do is talking about?

What exactly happened between Gengzi and Mulang that led to this situation?

-

I (Tatsumi Sekiguchi) was shocked after hearing what Kyogoku-do had to say.

I never imagined that the mistakes I made back then would lead to this outcome.

I also understand why Kyogoku-do kept telling me not to get involved in this.

It turns out... I was actually a key part of this incident, and I was also a party involved in this case!

Kyogoku-do didn't notice my grim expression and directed Kiba to bring in the only person in the know about the incident, intern doctor Naito.

Let Naito tell the story of Makirou and Kyoko's past.

Seeing that the truth was about to be revealed, Naito stopped hiding anything and told everyone he knew, as well as his relationship with Jigo.

After listening to Naito's words, Kyogoku-do gave a detailed account of the entire incident.

It turns out that twelve years ago, Makirou accidentally caused Kyoko to become pregnant, but he always thought that the pregnant person was Jigoko.

To atone for his mistake, Mu Lang went to propose marriage.

However, he was rejected by the headmaster, Yoshichika Kuonji, because if he wanted to marry Kyoko, he had to have a medical license and be able to inherit the Kuonji family business.

To obtain a medical license, Mu Lang went abroad to study, determined to marry Gengzi. His reasons were twofold: first, to atone for the mistake of getting Gengzi pregnant unexpectedly, and second, to continue his lineage.

However, Makirou unfortunately had an accident abroad, which resulted in the loss of his reproductive organs. Although he eventually married Gengzi, he was unable to have children.

Mu Lang is a somewhat rigid person. His deceased mother instilled in him the idea that having a child is proof of love.

In this logic, Mu Lang also believes that love means having a child.

However, since she lacked reproductive organs and could not have children, she began to research so-called artificial humans, or test-tube babies, day and night.

Gengzi and her husband Mulang have different views; she believes that love must involve physical intimacy.

If two people don't have a physical relationship, then it's not true love.

However, Mu Lang has no reproductive organs and can only refuse Geng Zi's request to have relations.

When Gengzi saw that Mu Lang rejected her, a twisted concept formed in her mind.

In an attempt to make her husband, Makirou, jealous, she began having affairs with intern doctor Naito, hoping to win him back.

Unfortunately... Mu Lang has become somewhat pathological in his efforts to have children.

Seeing his wife and Naito having frequent sexual relations, he actually believed that his wife was doing this to help him and that she was trying to have a child.

When Gengzi saw that her husband Mulang ignored her transgressions, she became increasingly brazen, going from sneaking around to openly having sex with him in front of him!

But Mu Lang didn't mind at all, and even smiled at their behavior.

I felt utterly disgusted when I heard Kyogoku-do say that!

I simply cannot understand why Makirou and Genko would have such distorted thinking!

Kyogoku-do didn't care what I thought and continued to recount what happened next:

This situation only came to an end eighteen months ago.

Eighteen months ago, Mu Lang finally figured out a way to get pregnant without having sex!

So Makirou smiled and found Geko, who was having an affair with Naito.

And tell Gengzi that that's enough, you don't need to do this anymore.

Upon hearing Mu Lang's words, Gengzi not only did not stop what he was doing, but also insulted Mu Lang, calling him a useless maggot.

But Mu Lang didn't know why Gengzi was angry. He just tried his best to explain that he could finally have another child.

Gengzi had no idea what was wrong with Mu Lang, so he just kept hurling insults at him!

Because in Gengzi's heart, she still loves Mulang. But when she sees Mulang in such a shameful state, she gets furious and tells him to get out!

The two held their own opinions, and Maki even said something strange like, "Our brother Naito is still here, so let's not argue."

Seeing Mu Lang's cowardly behavior, Gengzi was furious and loudly cursed at him.

Mu Lang kept apologizing to Gengzi, and said he hoped that Gengzi could return to the gentle person she was twelve years ago.

These words made Gengzi seem like a demon. He picked up a fruit knife and walked towards Mu Lang.

Seeing that things were going badly, Mu Lang went into the room that used to be the operating room. Unfortunately, because the door was very heavy, Mu Lang was still stabbed by the blade.

Mu Lang collapsed in the secret room, refusing to come out out of fear.

When I heard Kyogoku-do's words, my thoughts began to blur, and then I synchronized with Makirou.

I transformed into a gigantic fetus and slowly opened my eyes.

I felt like I was enveloped in amniotic fluid, with a fruit knife stuck in my umbilical cord.

-

Gengzi accidentally injured Mulang, which caused him a huge mental blow, and he forgot all the painful memories.

Gengzi doesn't even remember having a relationship with Naito, nor does she remember how she treated Makirou.

All she remembered was that after arguing with Mu Lang, he hid in a secret room.

Since no one could open the secret room, Genko asked Tokizo, Tomiko, Naito, and her older sister Ryo to help break down the door.

Since both Shizang and Fuko knew perfectly well that Makirou was definitely dead in the room, neither of them dared to look.

Naito dared not reveal his affair with Geko, and acted as if nothing had happened.

As a result, Gengzi ignored Makirou's body, or rather, refused to acknowledge the fact that Makirou was dead.

In this twisted situation, Gengzi hypnotizes herself into believing she is pregnant, because only in this way can she prove that the two of them love each other!

Because Gengzi was not actually pregnant, she endured the pain for twenty months by relying on her own body!

Hearing these words nearly made me faint, but then I heard the forensic doctor give a definitive autopsy report.

The real reason why Mu Lang did not decompose was because the room temperature was too low, there was no ventilation, all the blood in Mu Lang's body flowed out, and someone sprinkled formaldehyde on Mu Lang's body, which eventually caused a perfect adipocere to form on Mu Lang's body, making him look like a living person!

What's even stranger is that Mu Lang didn't bleed to death; the real cause of death was a heavy blow to the head from a stone!

Upon hearing the word "stone," a horrific image flashed before my eyes: Kyoko killing an infant with a stone.

Kyogoku-do's reasoning coincided with my own.

Ryoko nearly fainted when she saw Makirou escape into the secret room.

While Makirou was unconscious from excessive blood loss, he mistook Kyoko for his mother and called out the word "Mother".

mother.

These two words are like a switch.

This instantly awakened the "Mother" personality within Ryoko, causing "Mother" to kill Makirou with a stone!

In the eyes of the "Mother" personality, Mu Lang was just a giant baby. If he was killed by being stoned, he should be preserved in formaldehyde. However, since there was no jar big enough, the "Mother" sprinkled formaldehyde on Mu Lang's body instead.

Just like I always did before!

After killing the baby, she, as the "mother," felt she had to do something.

So the "mother" personality took Gengzi to the secret room where Mulang died and made Gengzi sleep with Mulang.

Just like what her own mother, Kikuno Kuonji, did to her after killing her own child!

When Uyama Hideomi read this, he felt a mix of emotions, and at the same time, he was completely impressed by Maijo Kyosuke's writing!

Because Maijo Kyosuke truly succeeded, writing a grand story on five or six hundred pages of manuscript paper, and with an incredibly high level of completion!

More importantly, this story involves folklore, psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, and the love and hate entanglements of a generation. It can be described as a mystery novel that no one has ever seen, heard, or written before!

Looking at the manuscript paper with only a few pages left in his hand, for the first time in his fifteen years in the industry, Uyama Hideomi had the thought that he couldn't bear to read it.

Because Hideomi Uyama knew that the tone of this story was tragic.

Then the ending will be just as tragic...
