Chapter 44 Section 10

Zong Fang gently cleared his throat and licked his lips. "The criminal police came to look for me just now." Minshu raised his head and put down the pen in his hand, with a posture of listening attentively. "He came to confirm my alibi on the day Naoki was killed, and I went to the factory in Yokosuka that day." "Stay with me tonight, right?" "That's right, but the criminal police sounded like 'it's useless to have an alibi at night'. It seems that the police think that the murderer and the person who moved the body are different people."

"Hmph," Min Shu reached for the glass cigarette case, "Those guys have racked their brains too." "That's their job after all." Minshu waited for Zongfang to light his cigarette for him. Minshu hated someone talking to him when he took his first puff.After Zong Fang was sure that he had exhaled white smoke, he said, "There is another important thing." "What's up?" "Since Naoki was killed, I have been in contact with the Yamanaka family in Toyohashi, and the criminal police seem to have gone there several times." "Of course." Minshu said displeased.

"That's right. The police mainly asked him about his youth, but a while ago, the police seemed to have acted strangely." "Strange action?" "Yes, it is said that the police investigated the car parked in the old garage of the Yamanaka house." "Investigation car?" "I don't know the details, but it is said that the car used to transport Naoki's body is there." "What did you say?" Minshu's eyes widened. "In other words, the car used to transport the corpse was prepared by Naoki himself." "Naoki prepared it himself? What does that mean?"

"I don't know how the police feel about it. We'd better prepare for the worst, though." "Worst case... Is there something going against us?" But Zong Fang didn't answer the question right away, and cleared his throat again. "Naoki said he wanted to talk to Yasuko Amamiya about the relationship between her and the full-time director, and asked her to go to Osaka. Didn't he know about her pregnancy?" "I don't know, maybe he knows." Minshu replied gruffly. "If he knew, he might think that Yasuko Amamiya is a woman who gets in the way."

"Hey," Min Shu's eyes flashed, "What do you want to say?" Zongfang reminded himself to keep calm, and continued: "Naoki asked Amamiya Yasuko to go to Osaka, and before that, he prepared a car for carrying something in advance." "You mean, Naoki intends to kill Yasuko? Then, he intends to carry her body?" "I think there is probably an accomplice. That person returned the plan to murder Yasuko Amamiya, making Naoki a victim—" "Nonsense!" Min Shu roared as if wanting to stop Zong Fang from continuing, and extinguished the rather long cigarette in the ashtray. "How could there be such a ridiculous thing?!"

"This is pure reasoning, and it's probably just that I've been thinking too much. I want to tell you just now." Before leaving the office, Zong Fang bowed his head and saluted. However, before he turned to leave, Toshiki said aloud: "Wait a minute, how far have the police noticed?" "I don't know. The police probably don't know about the director and Yasuko Amamiya at all. But when they found the van, they should think that Naoki was not a simple victim." "This is bad." Minshu said, "We have to find a way. If people think that the people of the Nishina family have something to do with the murder plan, it will damage the reputation of MM Heavy Industry and the Nishina family that they have worked so hard to build." .”

"There's another thing." "What else is there?" Min Shu raised his face. "From the policeman's tone, it seems that the police think that the person who used Toyohashi's car was someone who was nearby that day. In this way, Suenaga is suspected." "Sue Yong..." Min Shu tilted his head, looked out of the window for a long time, and then instructed Zongfang with this posture: "No way, just abandon that man. Don't let him have any contact with Xingzi again." "Of order." Zong Fang bowed again. "Everything has to start from scratch, and I have to think about the successor." Min Shu sighed deeply.

"You'd better think about adopting Yokohama's children, too." "Well, yes, that's good too. That kid is in the first grade of middle school this year. I met him a while ago, and he looks pretty handsome." Minshu said to Zongfang, "Go and get ready for me."
