Chapter 51 Section 51

Compared with this thing, the dishes made by my aunt are much more delicious.Kyohei thought to himself while chewing on deep-fried scallops on a plate of Ezo.Although the materials used and the plate are very good, the taste is no different from that of the nearby western restaurants.Gongping couldn't help thinking, is it necessary to make a special trip to a resort hotel by the sea to eat something like this? Gong Ping and his father Jing Yi were sitting in the restaurant of the hotel.From the looks of it, I guess I have to stay here for one night tonight.Kyohei thought that he would leave for Osaka tomorrow, but Keiichi said, "I don't know the situation right now. Your uncle and his family have encountered that kind of thing. I guess I have to go through some procedures. Just be patient for a while." .”

Gongping nodded silently, but he didn't feel that staying here was a kind of patience.On the contrary, he didn't want to go so vaguely at all. Before dinner was over, Jingyi's cell phone rang.He looked at the caller ID and answered the phone with a sullen face.Jing Yi covered his mouth with his hands, said something in a low voice, and then hung up the phone with an unhappy expression. "What's wrong?" Gongping asked. Jing Yi wrinkled his nose and curled his lips. "The police said they want to ask Gongping you to inquire about the situation. They are in the tea lounge now, and they say they want us to go to them after dinner. Shall we go?"

"Go." Gongping took a few bites of the remaining fried scallops, and stuffed a mouthful of tomato salad into his mouth.Although he didn't eat much, he already felt full. Two detectives, Nonogaki and Nishiguchi, were sitting in the tea lounge waiting for Jingichi and his son.Although Gongping had met the two before, he had never spoken to them. Across the table, Jingyi and his son sat down opposite the two detectives.Nonogaki asked the two if they wanted something to drink, Jingyi said "no need", and Kyohei also shook his head. "How is the situation?" Jingichi asked first, "Is the interrogation over?"

Nonogaki puffed out his chest, deliberately showing off his prestige. "It didn't end so quickly. After all, human life is at stake. Moreover, there are several things that the Kawahata couple said that are not in line with the facts. As younger brothers, we can understand your feelings, but interrogation still takes time. It will take a while." "Not in line with the facts? Why is it not in line with the law?" "This is a secret search, I have nothing to say. However, the couple is not the only one involved in this matter." "There are accomplices? It can't be a reality..."

"No, she has nothing to do with this." Xikou interrupted suddenly.Nonogaki immediately glared at Nishiguchi, and Nishiguchi had to lower his head, pretending to be recording. Nonogaki said to Jingyi and his son with a half-smile, "Can I ask your son a few questions? After all, the purpose of our visit is not to answer your questions." "Ah... yes." Jing Yi turned to look at Gong Ping.His expression felt as if he was asking Kyohei for his opinion.Gongping looked back at his father, meaning that there was no problem. "Do you remember six days ago, when you and your uncle went to set off fireworks?" Nonogaki asked.From the front, his face feels like a fox.

Remember.Kyung Ping replied. "Did you propose to set off the fireworks?" "No. At that time, I was watching TV in the house, and then my uncle called me and asked if I would like to set off fireworks together." "What time did this happen?" "Probably...about eight o'clock." The question asked by the criminal police did not exceed Gongping's expectations.In short, they were looking for Gongping to confirm what Shigeji did that night.When did Shigeji return to the hotel, when did he return to the backyard to continue setting off fireworks, and when did the two finally return to the hotel.Since Kyohei wasn't always staring at the clock at the time, he could only give a rough answer.When the detective asked if there was anything strange about setting off the fireworks, Kyohei replied that there was nothing strange, it was just setting off the fireworks as usual.Even so, the criminal policeman still had a satisfied expression on his face.

When Kyohei said that after the fireworks, he went to Shigeharu's room to eat some watermelon, and then fell asleep watching TV, Nonogaki winked at Nishiguchi.It seemed that they had already asked all the questions they wanted to ask. "Thank you for your hard work. Maybe we will come to you to inquire about the situation later, and please do so at that time." Nonogaki got up and said something like an endorsement. After bowing his head in thanks, he turned and left the room.Xikou also hurriedly followed. Jing Yi sighed, said "Let's go", and stood up. "Dad." Gongping called out to Jingyi, "That incident... was an accident, right?"

Hearing his son's question, Jing Yi seemed a little angry.He raised his eyebrows. "Need to say? It's not an accident, what is it?" "I'm not sure..." "Didn't the criminal policeman also say that just now? Because this is a matter of life and death, even if it is just an accident, they must investigate it in detail. Don't worry. Uncle may be sentenced to some punishment, but it should not It would be too heavy." Gongping lowered his head.Perhaps it was because Jing regarded his respectful gesture as a nod, he said "Let's go", and then took a step forward.Following behind Jingichi, Kyōhei couldn't help thinking of what Yukawa said before.

You shouldn't be here any longer.This point, you should be the clearest——
