Its daybreak.How to spend Saturday, of course, depends on the arrangement of Mochizuki's family.If they're out for an outing, I'm going to be on a long trip for the day.If they went shopping at the supermarket, then I would gossip with my compatriots in large car parks.Sometimes, when no one is out all day, I pass the time with a blank mind, watching the wind change, or watching the long-legged wasps fly back and forth between the big tree and the hive in the Mochizuki family courtyard. On this day, from dawn to dusk, I stayed at home.At around seven o'clock in the evening, Yoshio sat in the driver's seat while talking on his mobile phone.

"I'm leaving now. When will Mr. Yutian arrive?" Yoshio said into the phone. Kengo Tamada!What is he here for?Yoshio was talking to Tamada Kengo. "Brother, I'm going too." Heng got into the passenger seat. "No." Liang Fu said, who just hung up the phone, "It's already very late, I don't know how long it will be delayed." "Why did Xiaoyu contact you?" "From what he said, it seems to be related to that video on the Internet." It seems that Liang Fu and the others have already known about the accident video on the Internet that Zappa mentioned last night.It really astounds me how quickly humans can spread information.

"Didn't Xiaoyu shoot that video?" Heng asked, "At that time, there was no one else who was able to take a close-up shot of the accident scene." "Mr. Yutian seems to be confused too. Maybe he took the video, but someone else uploaded it on the Internet." "Oh, yes." Heng Wenyan nodded, "Then, Mr. Yutian may suspect that you are a criminal, the criminal who uploaded the video of the accident scene on the Internet." "Me? Upload a video? How is it possible?!" Yoshio raised his hands, as if to prove that he had nothing to hide, "I have never touched his camera and computer, so it is impossible to steal the video. Besides, I don't even know how to upload the video. Know."

"But Xiaoyu will still suspect you. When the identity of the criminal is unknown, he will list all possible people as suspects, right? He will definitely investigate every detail of the people who have had contact with him after the accident. A Don't let it go." "It's over now. I'm not confident that I can clear the suspicion." "So I'm going together." "No, Mr. Tamada said he wanted me to go alone. Besides, it's time for elementary school students to go to bed." "I'm going." Heng began to show his temper. Although Liangfu didn't want to follow his brother's wishes in everything, he still took out his mobile phone and said, "Then wait a minute, I'll call Mr. Yutian and ask him if he can take you with me."

"Don't bother, just take me there." Heng pouted and complained. "It's not good if you don't keep the promise." "Brother, you are so kind." After a while, Yoshio shrugged and said, "No, he didn't answer the phone and switched to leave a message." "Really? Did you really call him?" "It's not uncommon for Mr. Yutian not to answer the phone, because he has to interview frequently. Anyway, I'm going to see him alone today." Heng seems to have finally given up. "Then I will pass on the battle plan to you."

"Battle plan?" "I've thought about it carefully, and now our family is facing two problems." "Are there two questions?" There are actually two questions?Immediately afterwards, another thought flashed through, just two questions?In the past, when I was parked in a coin-operated parking lot, a Prius next to me told me: "The earth is being attacked by the greenhouse effect." When I was stuck on National Highway No. 4 and 5, a Tiara in front said to me: " Consumption tax may have to be raised.” I once met a light car, and he said with concern: "This country has trillions of yen in debt." I also met a Mazda RX-8, and his words made me even more horrified. "There are so many asteroids in the universe, maybe one day they will collide with the earth." There are so many problems in this world that I feel depressed just thinking about it.However, the open-minded and open-minded Heinick once said with a smile: "Even if you worry, it won't help, so don't worry." His comfort made me feel more relaxed.

"One is about Yuanxiang, right?" Yoshio said. "That's right. That's the Eguchi problem." "Is it Tokari's problem?" "Yeah." Henry nodded, "There is one more thing, which is the tunnel accident." "This problem has nothing to do with our family." "But Xiaoyu has already called you." "So what?" "We can do the opposite. Since there are two problems, we can also take advantage of the contradiction between the two problems and let them kill each other." "Let two questions kill each other?"

"It is to let your enemies fight each other. Like Char, use the struggle between the Zeon Army and the Federation Army to benefit yourself." "Ah, that's how it is." Yoshio strongly agreed, and then said to himself, "It's like when Char defeated Kycilia with a rocket launcher in the last episode..." What is he talking about?I don't understand the situation at all.Liang Fu said again: "Then, what should I do specifically?" "You see, Xiaoyu is a reporter, and he likes events that may become topics. So, if you tell him about Tokari, he will be very interested."

"What about Tokari?" "Tokari is a dangerous person. If we investigate further, we should be able to unearth many shocking incidents. The incident of throwing the child into the river is enough to cause a sensation." "That's right. However, Tamada-san said that he only writes about 'things that attract the public's attention'. The Tokari case doesn't seem to be at that level." Hey, Yoshio, what are you talking about!I was so startled that the headlights came on.The murder and burial of Tokari and his girlfriend is enough to make a report.If reporters don't write about this kind of thing, then why do reporters need it?However, I immediately realized that Yoshio didn't know the truth of the incident, and he never thought that Tokari had committed murder.

"You can exaggerate a little bit." "How exaggerated?" "It's a fact that Araki Tsui has been in our family's car, right? So, you say, in fact, Araki Tsui timidly told us when he was in the car: 'I was threatened by a man named Tokari.' In this way, Tokari and Araki Sui are being pulled together." "Isn't this a lie?" "But if you say that, Xiaoyu will definitely be interested. You pretend to discuss with him and convey this information to him skillfully." "Hen, do you think your brother can complete such a difficult task?"

Heng avoided his brother's sight abruptly, and replied hesitatingly: "Well... well, I think it can." It's the first time I've heard Heng utter such a lie that can be seen through easily.However, Yoshio, who had lost his composure, believed his younger brother's words. He said bravely, "Okay, leave it to me." After Heng got out of the car, Yoshio started the engine.Let's go!The thrill and anticipation of galloping continued to surge from the bottom of the car, and I was full of energy. "Be careful." Zappa warned behind him.
