When I woke up, I heard Jingyi's voice.It looked like he was talking on the phone with someone.Gongping rubbed his sleepy eyes, and glanced at the back of his father standing in front of the window.The curtains were slightly opened by the father, and strong sunlight shot into the room.It's probably fine weather today. "...Let's talk about it, don't explain the details to the client... Well, yes. This is a good idea... Well, I know. I guess I will come here a few more times... No, I think it's better to do it well Let's prepare for the lawsuit...then, let's deal with the matter of the lawyer...well, I'll contact you later." After talking on the phone, Jing closed the phone with a snap.

Good morning.Jing Yi yelled at his father's back. Jing Yi turned around and said with a smile, "Huh? Are you awake?" "My mother called?" "Yes. Let's leave here after lunch. I guess we can make it to dinner with your mother." "There's no need to stay here any longer? Aren't those policemen coming to inquire about the situation?" Jing Yi smiled lightly and shook his head. "No need. I have already called the police just now. They said that there is probably nothing to ask Gongping from now on. Even if you have questions, you can just make a phone call. As long as we contact If the method is left to them, there will be no problem.”

Gongping got up and got out of bed. "Will uncle and the others be put in prison? Is there really nothing to do?" The smile disappeared from Keiichi's face immediately.He groaned and scratched his head. "As long as I can help, I will try to help. I plan to hire a better lawyer for them. But I guess it will inevitably go to jail. Especially your uncle." "Is his crime really that serious?" Hearing Kyohei's question, his father's expression became even more gloomy. "I also said yesterday that if they had called the police when the incident happened, the situation would not be as bad as it is now. It is because they deliberately concealed the matter that they are now convicted of such a serious crime .Everything is the same. People are not sages and sages can do nothing. The key to the problem lies in the aftermath. In doing so, they actually hurt themselves in the end. When I think about what will happen in the future, I feel a headache."

What Jingyi said was not only to blame his sister and brother-in-law, but also showed his inner anxiety.After hearing his father's words, Kyohei couldn't help feeling depressed. "If the accident was intentionally caused by them, wouldn't they be more guilty?" Hearing his son's question, Jing Yi took a step back in surprise. "That's right. If they did it on purpose, then it wouldn't be an accident, but a homicide. Don't talk about prison, maybe they will be sentenced to death. But it doesn't make sense to talk about it now " As he spoke, Jing looked at his watch, "It's already here. Although I don't have much appetite, let's go have some breakfast."

Gongping also looked at the alarm clock.It's almost nine o'clock in the morning. The restaurant for breakfast is the tea lounge on the first floor where I met the two criminal policemen yesterday.There are all kinds of dishes on the huge table, and everyone can take as much as they want. "You can take as much as you want. If it's not enough, you can go get it again." Hearing what Jingyi said, Gongping felt a little unconvinced.I am not a child anymore, how could I get so much that I can't finish it.On closer inspection, those dishes didn't seem very tasty. Chewing bacon and drinking fruit juice, Kyohei looked around.The entire store was empty, and there was no sign of Tang Chuan.

After dinner, the father and son decided to go back to the room temporarily.As soon as he walked out of the lounge, Gongping called out to Jing Yi who was walking in front. "I want to see the sea, okay?" "Yes, yes, but don't run too far." "I know." Gongping returned to the lounge and walked past the swimming pool.Through there, you can go to the sea.It feels like a personal beach, and at the same time, this is the biggest selling point of this hotel.However, there are basically no people here now. Seeing that Yukawa was not on the beach either, Kyohei returned to the hotel.Kyohei went to the front desk and told a female hotel employee in uniform at the front desk that he wanted to find out which room Yukawa lived in.

"What can you do with him?" "Well, I have something to tell him..." "Then, please wait a moment." The female employee made a phone call, but no one seemed to answer, so she finally put the receiver down. "He doesn't seem to be in the room." After speaking, the female employee operated the computer a few times.After that, she nodded, "Mr. Tang Chuan has gone out, and he won't be back until evening." "Evening..." Gongping felt a little disappointed.At night, it is estimated that Gongping has already left here. "If you have something to say to him, why not leave him a letter? We will keep it for you and give it to Mr. Tang Chuan when he comes back."

Gongping shook his head feebly and said, "No need. It will be too late." After finishing speaking, Gongping left the front desk.
