Chapter 29 Section 29

Kashiwahara glanced at Hagi Village and shook his head slightly. "It's hard to say. I don't know why this watch appeared at this time." "But isn't the guy holding these the criminal?" "Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on future investigations." "But, there is no time. If you don't hurry up..." Gong Yi raised his voice and said, and then he seemed to regain his composure, scratching his head, "I don't know if this watch belongs to my dad..." "That's right. But I promise, until the second before the statute of limitations, I will follow this case."

Hearing Kashiwahara's words, Koichi lowered his head and said, "Please." After listening to Koichi's report, Taifu asked in bewilderment: "Why not just tell them it's Dad's watch? Wouldn't it solve the case faster?" Shizuna who felt the same way nodded in agreement. As usual, they talked in the brothers' room.As soon as Gong sat in front of the computer, Taifu and Jingna were entangled on two beds, sometimes lying on their backs, and sometimes sitting cross-legged.This is Taifu's favorite time, it feels like returning to his childhood. "If you act too hastily, you will miss the job." Gong Yi said.

"why?" "It's been fourteen years. Remember what kind of watch Dad wears, isn't it unnatural?" "Really? Dad cherishes that watch very much, and I remember it very clearly. So, when my brother said to get some items from memories, I immediately thought of this watch." Taifu recalled the scene when he took away the gold watch.That was before being sent to an orphanage.This time, he was also rather reluctant to take out this.But after listening to Gongyi's explanation, he made up his mind that there was no other way for revenge. Gong shook his head.

"You have to make it clear that the watch was stolen from our house on the night of the case. It must be taken away by the police who they think are the murderers of the parents." "I understand that." "If I looked at the watch and was sure it belonged to Dad, the police would definitely ask me why I didn't notice it disappear when the incident happened?" "Ah", Taifu yelled inadvertently. "After the case happened, I was repeatedly asked by the police if there was anything missing. If it was a watch that impressed me fourteen years later, it would be natural to realize that it was missing. Of course, I can also excuse that at that time Not in the mood. But it’s more natural to answer that you’re not sure if it’s Daddy’s stuff than to do that.”

"But, if you are sure that the watch is your father, the police can start investigating right away." Jing Nai asked worriedly. Gong Yi smiled wryly. "Don't underestimate the police. Besides, if I firmly insist that this is Dad's watch, those guys will definitely investigate and confirm it secretly. Isn't the result the same?" "And..." he continued. "Compared with simple answers, they believe in hard-earned results. The police will probably ask Dad's classmates. I don't know how many people they will ask, but if they get testimony like 'this is indeed a watch we gave you', They will be delighted."

Looking at Gongichi who was analyzing confidently, Taifu gradually felt that perhaps his approach was safer.He couldn't help admiring: Brother's consideration is really meticulous. "The problem is after that. Will the police take the bait we put. I can't tell them there is bait. I can only pray that Kashiwahara and the others don't get confused." "Is it okay to keep in touch with the police?" Jing Nai asked. "In order to find out the progress of the investigation, it is necessary to keep in touch with them. Don't worry, they have no reason to suspect me. Jing should be careful."

"Me?" Jing Nai pressed her chest. "If things go well for me—of course, if it doesn't go well, it will be troublesome, then the police will definitely focus on Togami Masayuki. They will definitely investigate the people around him. As I said before, they find the peak at this time. Saori, a non-existent woman, will be suspicious even if she doesn't associate it with the case fourteen years ago. That is to say, Shizuna must disappear from Togami Xingcheng at least before that time." Taisuke noticed a subtle change in Shizuna's expression after listening to Koichi's words, a look of surprise and nervousness appeared on her face.

"The task of Gao Gao Saori has been completed? What about the recipe battle plan?" Gong nodded his head, frowning. "It should have been left to Shizu to handle. However, that operation depends on Togami Yusei's attitude. Anyway, you have to sneak into Togami's house. If you go in without an invitation, even Shizu can't do it." "Then what are you going to do?" Taifu held his breath and looked at the silent Koichi, he guessed what his brother was thinking. "Brother, plan to use that method again?" Gong Yi did not answer.Shiina straightened her back.

"Again...? You don't intend to sneak in?" She looked back and forth at her brothers, and then her eyes stayed on Gongyi, "It won't work. It's not an ordinary house." "Yeah, it won't work. A house with a surveillance system! Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes." "I went to see it during the day." Koichi said, "As you said, there are various security systems such as monitors and anti-theft glass. It is not easy to sneak in. However, no matter how heavily guarded a house is, there are thieves. So , I can do it too."

"No!" Shizuna said righteously, "This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed! My brother is not a professional thief. No matter how good your motor skills are, you can't do it, it's too dangerous!" "I agree with Jing's point of view. Although I want to catch Hushen, it would be shameful if my brother gets caught first instead." "However, we have to do it. As I said before, if we can't find evidence that Hushen is the criminal, we will fabricate the evidence. No matter how much the police suspect Hushen, they won't be able to catch that guy with the evidence at hand."

"Even so..." Tai Fu was speechless immediately, "I'll do it!" Jing Nai said. "Let me do it, this is a good way. It is safe and will not leave evidence. Didn't my brother say that leaving no evidence is a necessary condition for recipe warfare. Even if my brother can sneak in like a professional thief , can’t guarantee that no evidence will be left? Then, I’ll do it to be safer. Leave it to me.” After she finished speaking in one breath, she clasped her hands together with a look of “please”. Gong rested his elbows on the computer desk, and pressed his palms to his forehead.Rarely, he looked at Tai Fu hesitantly.It seems that Gong Yi himself is most aware of the danger. "You said the diced beef rice bowl has changed?" Koichi said while maintaining this posture. Hmm, Shiina nodded. "When I met Xingcheng a while ago, he told me. Azabu Juban store's plan to provide Yuanzu's beef diced rice bowl was aborted." "Xing Cheng said so?" "He said it was the order of the Togami administration. Why did that old Hugami go back on his word now?" Koichi looked at the two of them as if asking for advice. "Affected by Jing's words?" "I'm afraid it is. When it comes to the foreign food restaurant in Yokosuka, he may have a solid idea in his heart. The owner has passed away, and Xingcheng has also relayed it. It's hard not to think of 'Ariake'. Someone noticed that 'Hushen' Tei's and Ariake's beef diced rice bowls tasted similar, which was too dangerous for Togami. He was afraid that there were other insiders, so he canceled the offer of Yuanso's diced beef rice bowls at Azabu Juban store plan. It should be like this." Gong Yi's reasoning is reasonable.However, Taifu didn't understand why he suddenly turned to this topic. "Is this question related to the plan just now?" Jing Nai seemed to have the same question. "Think about it, for Togami Masashiyuki, Shizuna... no, Gao Gao Saori is a very dangerous person. Will he let such a person stay with his son? If I am Togami, I will definitely let Xingcheng not Met this kind of woman." "Xing Cheng didn't mention this when we met last time. To be exact, he wanted to see me on his own initiative." "Maybe you haven't said it yet. Or you have already said it, but you just haven't told Jing yet. Sooner or later, Hushen will stop you from further development. There is no reason to invite Gao Gao Saori to his home." Taifu finally understood what Koichi meant. "I see." He muttered to himself. "However, there's no need for Hushen to invite me. It's enough for Xingcheng to invite me to his house." "You still don't understand. The Togami administration will allow this to happen?" "You won't know if you don't try. Mr. Hugami is not someone who obeys his father's advice." "Mr. Togami?" Taisuke frowned, staring at Shizuna's profile. "Ah, I'm sorry. I'm used to yelling in front of him. In short, Hushen Xingcheng is not the kind of person who doesn't have his own opinion and obeys what he says!" "It's hard to say. As far as I know, he loves his father very much. Doesn't it mean that he can't do without his parents if he is still living at his parents' house at the age of nearly 30?" "No such thing!" Shizuna's tone suddenly became tough, Taisuke opened his mouth wide in surprise, and Koichi opened his eyes wide as if he was unprepared. Seeing her brother's reaction, Shizuna lowered her head lowly, then raised her head again. "In short, leave it to me. Xingcheng is fascinated by me, and I try to control him so that he will not be manipulated by his father." Gong Yi held his chin and smiled. "Still so confident." "So far, there is nothing I can't do that I want to do." "This time is different." "Leave it to Jing." Taifu said, "If you fail, you can think about it later." Gong Yi sighed. "There is not so much time. The deadline is when the police are targeting Hushen. At that time, Jing must make a quick decision and get out of the body, you know?" "Well, I will never see Xingcheng again in my life." Looking at Shizuna, who was staring at Koichi answering swearingly, Taifu felt her determination. However, there seemed to be another emotion hidden behind this determination.What it was, he couldn't read. Hagi Village is going to a shoe store in Ooka, not to buy shoes, but to meet the owner Tadashi Muroi.Sitting on a bench in the corner, Hagimura took out the plastic bag from his bag and got to the point. Tadashi Muroi narrowed his eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened. "Oh, oh, it's this!" He pitifully turned the watch in the plastic bag over and over in his hand.After confirming the words engraved on the back, he lowered his eyes in pain, "It can't be wrong, this is the watch we gave Ariake back then." "Where did you buy it?" Hagimura asked. "It should be a department store. There is a guy named Yamamoto among my friends. He bought it. This is the only store that provides engraving. I didn't expect to see this watch now, hey." Seeing Muroi staring at the watch with regret, Hagimura clenched his right fist secretly.He didn't think Muroi would admit his mistake.In other words, this watch is indeed Akihiro! "Speaking of which, why is this watch in the hands of the police? Did you find any clues? Where was this watch found?" "Sorry, no comment on these questions." "Then, just tell me if it's possible to solve the case. I trust the police, and I believe you will catch the murderer soon. Just don't catch the statute of limitations. This is so unfair. I will do my best to help The police. My friends still regret it to this day."
