Chapter 47 Section 47

At this time, Gong Yi said: "I feel the same way as Jing. I don't think Xingcheng will tell the police, at least not yet." Taisuke was taken aback by his brother's words. "why?" "Because it's all harm but no benefit." Gong Yi said firmly, "Xingcheng knows that his father is under suspicion by the police. Of course, that guy wants to believe his father. But, does he want to believe and believe it from the bottom of his heart? The same. He prayed that he was not a criminal, but he could not confirm this fact. If the notebook could prove his father's innocence, he would definitely hand it over to the police without hesitation. However, that is not such evidence. Especially it records The recipe is exactly the same as the diced beef rice bowl of 'Togami-tei'. This fact is also quite detrimental to Yusei who insisted on his father's innocence. It proves that Masashikaka and 'Ariake' have an inseparable relationship."

"Then what do you think Xingcheng will do?" "The first thing that comes to mind is to confirm directly with his father himself. That's the most straightforward way." "But, will Togami Masayuki really invite you honestly?" "I don't think so. Even if the other party is his own son, he will not easily confess his crime of murder. Xing Cheng is not an idiot, and he should know this in his heart. However, when he sees his father lying, he will play it by ear. Closing the topic, so he'll probably ask first." "Is that guy capable of seeing through lies? He's just a pampered son."

Hearing what Taifu said, Shizuna retorted again: "That person is not the son you think. If he was just a son, he wouldn't bother us like this." "Jing is right." Gong Yi agreed, "Although I haven't seen it before, Xingcheng is a smart person. It's just that the smarter the person, the more cautious he is. Even if he is confident that he can see through his father's lies, he will consider everything An unrecognizable situation. The conclusion is that he is very likely to avoid asking his father directly." "If you don't ask, what will he do next?" Taifu asked.

"Ordinary people will wait and see for a while, and choose another path. However, I always feel that Xingcheng will not do this." "Then what will he do?" After a moment of silence, Gong Yi looked down at Tai Fu. "Where's the spare phone?" "A spare? I'll take it." Gong Yi stretched out his right hand: "Let me go first." Taifu took out his mobile phone from the waist bag beside him.This phone is specifically for fraudulent use. "What are you doing with this?" Taifu asked while handing over the phone. "It might be useful. Then it will be a showdown." Gong Yi held the phone tightly.

Xing Cheng sat at the desk in his room.There is a notebook in front of him.Withdrawing his gaze from above, he massaged his eyes with his fingers.Sighing, he leaned back in his chair.Then he stared at the notebook again without moving. The opened page describes the recipe for the stew sauce for the croquette.All the words are written stroke by stroke with a pencil, and there are not-so-great illustrations attached to the side.Although some incomprehensible parts can be seen everywhere, even the small and trivial steps are not omitted above, and it is written step by step in detail.It seems that this notebook is not just for the chef himself, but also for the successor of the store.

The more he read these contents carefully, the more Xingcheng felt the coldness like goose bumps all over his body.Except for the diced beef rice bowl, the recipe described above is almost astonishingly similar to that of "Togami-tei".Before this moment, Xingcheng deeply believed that all these things were created by "Hushen Pavilion". After reading this notebook, he really couldn't believe that "Togami-tei", that is, Zhengxing, had nothing to do with "Ariake", a western restaurant.Surely one party copied the other's recipe.However, "Ariake" closed its doors fourteen years ago, and it is impossible to imagine that the original one is "Togami-tei".It was not long after the "Ariake" incident that Zhengxing discovered Yuanzu's diced beef rice bowl.

Xingcheng stretched out his hand, picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and drank it.Tonight, he still hasn't eaten a single drop.Because there is no appetite.However, the throat was as dry as hell. Smacking the conversation with Yazaki Shizuna.The conversation with her was the worst memory of Xingcheng's life.Although until a few days ago, he had planned to propose to her. All the affection she showed to herself was just acting.At the request of Ariake, he had no choice but to hide this notebook in Togami's house.Of course, after the task is completed, she intends to disappear from Xingcheng's eyes, using the excuse of going to Canada to study.

Moreover, the reason why she would do this is to completely defeat Xingcheng.She said that the prisoner in the "Ariake" incident was Zhengxing.The victims' children seem convinced of this. Referring to that case, he thought of the time the police had visited his home.They took out old candy boxes, gold watches, etc., and the words "Ariake" and other words were engraved on the watches. It was full of things that Xingcheng had never seen before, and Zheng Xing responded in the same way.Afterwards, the policeman said nothing, and he thought the matter was over. Dad is a robber murderer?No way--

unacceptable words.However, he was at a loss as to how to explain this notebook.Not to mention the witnesses of the victims' children. There is another lump in Xingcheng's heart.Originally, it was planned to launch Yuanso beef diced rice bowl at Azabu Juban store, but then the government suddenly changed its attitude and vetoed this established decision.All this happened shortly after he told Masaki that he had eaten rice with diced beef with the same taste from Yazaki Shizuna, who was then Takame Saori.Is Masaaki afraid that in the future there will be people who feel similar to "Ariake"?

A splitting headache.He closed his notebook and rubbed his temples. At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, and the sound of walking upstairs step by step.Passing through Xingcheng's room, he stopped in front of the door of the next room.Then, the sound of the door lock being opened.When Zhengxing is not at home, the door to his room is always locked. After hearing the sound of the door closing, everything returned to silence. Xingcheng's heart was shaken violently. Rather than worrying about it alone, it is better to directly question Masaaki himself, and this idea has been lingering in his mind.For example, put this recipe notebook in front of him and ask him what the hell is going on.

However, he was a little uneasy, he didn't know whether Zheng Xing's words were worth trusting or not.I'm afraid the administration will veto the relationship with the "Ariake" incident.Just hearing this sentence, it is not worth asking from the beginning.If the situation is bad, the pure father-son relationship between them will be difficult to maintain in the future. Xingcheng stood up from the chair, dragged his body like a bear in a zoo, and then collapsed on the bed.He scratched his head.I believe that his father's mood has not changed so far, but he doesn't feel that Yazaki Shizuna is fooling him.Without a thorough awareness, how could she sneak into other people's homes and hide the "material evidence". Xingcheng turned his gaze to the bookshelf on the wall.There are not only materials for daily use, but also books that he liked when he was a child.He got up from the bed, stood in front of the bookshelf, and took out a book."Astrological Observation" was written on the cover in a permanent marker. Perseid meteor shower -- Fourteen years ago, Xingcheng was still interested in celestial observation.At that time, he would definitely not miss any famous meteor showers. Open the book and check the past records. The time of the "Ariake" incident has always been deeply engraved in his mind. According to records, it was indeed the day with the most Perseid meteor showers.As Yazaki Shizuna said, it rained that day.Therefore, even if Xingcheng used a telescope, he only saw six meteors. However, the problem is not this. At that time, whenever he watched the meteor shower, Zheng Xing would always be by his side.Originally, Xingcheng's interest in celestial observation was influenced by his father.The evidence is that at other times, the number of meteors observed by Zheng Xing is carefully recorded aside.However, on the night of the "Ariake" incident, the column for Masako was left blank. Memories from middle school revived in Xingcheng's mind.By the way, that was the night of observing the Perseid meteor shower.Only that night, he watched with a telescope alone.Because my father went out late at night.With no one to talk to, he could only look forward to seeing a large number of shooting stars.However, to make matters worse, it started to rain. That's right!Yazaki Shizuna was referring to that night—— The notebook in Xingcheng's hand slipped down.However, he didn't even have the strength to pick it up.The strength around his feet was pulled away bit by bit, and he fell to the ground. Late that night, Zheng Xing went out.The destination is unknown.In other words, in the "Ariake" incident, he did not have an alibi. Only Xingcheng knows about this matter. Taifu shuffled his luggage into the suitcase. "Don't leave anything behind. From now on, you can't come back here for the time being." Gong Yi said, looking down at his younger brother. "But, is it necessary to let me go? If the police come, tell them that we actually live together and it's over? It's not a bad thing." "Think about the ins and outs of things. Can you still say this now?" While Koichi was talking, the phone on the table rang.He opened his eyes wide.The phone that wasn't supposed to have a phone rang, that is, the "backup phone" they called it. Gong Yi picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID.As he expected, that person's name was displayed on it. He answered the phone. "Hello." He replied in a low voice. "Hi," said the other party, "is this Mr. Kasugai?" Gong Yi took a deep breath, "That's right." The other party was silent for a moment, and then said: "The voice is different from the last time we met. Is it Mr. Kasugai from Cortesia Japan?" "I'm Kasugai, sorry, who are you?" "I am Hushen, Hushen Xingcheng." In a large bookstore next to Tokyo Station, Koichi continued to stand and flip through books.Then, his attention turned to the door of the store. The figure of Togami Xingcheng appeared about five minutes before the appointed time, he was wearing a gray jacket.After entering the store, Xingcheng went straight up the stairs.There is a coffee corner between the first and second floors. There was no sign of a police ambush within sight.After confirming this, Kouichi boarded the elevator in order to observe the situation at the coffee corner. About half of the seats are filled with guests.Togami Yusei sat in the seat at the end, staring at the direction of the entrance with all his attention. Gongyi walked up to the second floor, took the elevator back to the first floor, and walked up the stairs leading to the coffee corner.While being careful not to let Xingcheng notice, he moved to the seat at the entrance and sat down. The waiter approached for the first time, and he ordered a Coke. Xingcheng looked at his watch.There was a cup of iced coffee in front of his desk, but he didn't take a sip. Kouichi observed the situation in the store again.Everyone looks like a regular guest, not a police officer in disguise.He thought there should be no police.However, in order to avoid being discovered by Hagi and Kashiwahara, he had to act cautiously. Seeing the waiter approaching with a Coke, Koichi stood up. "Sorry, I didn't notice that my companion arrived first." He said this to the waiter, and moved to Xingcheng's table. Xingcheng looked surprised, his eyes widened, and he prepared to get up in a panic. "You don't need to stand up." Gong Yi smiled and sat down opposite Xing Cheng. The waiter put the coke and the bill on the table. Xingcheng suddenly sighed. "You are so cautious. You obviously noticed me, but you still sat at other tables to observe the situation." "I don't really trust others to come back to life. This is also an attitude in life. It's not a matter of course for people who can't rely on anyone to live." Xingcheng's eyes turned serious: "It means that your parents are gone?" "That's right." "That is to say, you are..." Xingcheng stared at Gongyi intently, "Mr. Ming?" Kouichi did not avoid the other party's gaze, and various thoughts appeared in his mind in an instant. I received Xingcheng's phone call about an hour ago.After hearing Yazaki Shizuna's words, I want to meet and talk.On the phone, he recognized that he was not Cortesia Japan's Kasugai, however, he didn't ask anything about it.Since the encounter with Shizuna was the product of careful planning, Kasugai naturally did not exist, so he must have guessed that someone was threading the needle behind it. After Gongyi decides to meet with Xingcheng, it is clear whether it is clear that he is Ariake.However, in this regard, he can only judge by intuition. "As you expected. I heard from Yazaki Shizuna that the plan for the recipe notebook didn't work. It's a pity that it didn't work out." "It's really a bolt from the blue. There is such a plan hidden behind the encounter with her. You must have laughed at me who knew nothing but was fascinated by her." "I'm sorry, but we don't have the time. Our minds are full of how to expose Togami Masashiki's crimes." "Why did this matter use such a troublesome and tortuous method? If you think my father looks similar to the prisoner, just tell the police and it will be over soon?" "There's nothing the police can do about mere looks." "That's why I hid the physical evidence at my house. But I still find it incredible. During the development of this plan, the police have repeatedly looked for my father. For example, they came here with an old gold watch. Could this have something to do with you?" "Thinking too much. This has nothing to do with us. The police also let me see the gold watch. But I haven't seen that thing. I only recently found out about the fact that the police are targeting Togami Masashiyuki. They didn't tell I have an opportunity. Anyway, it is a timely ride for us. If you search your house and find that recipe notebook, everything will be seamless." Hearing Gongyi's words, Xingcheng looked back at him seriously, with eyes that wanted to read Gongyi's heart.
