Chapter 14 12. Death will no longer come

"Isn't this the end of the game?" For Fujitaka brother and I who recovered from the stunned and collapsed state and were panicking to inform others, Luna sister stopped us calmly. "Something has to be done first." "What are you going to do?" Fujigao's voice was full of anger, as if he wanted to blame his lover for being so calm in front of his grandfather's corpse. "What did you say you were going to do?" "Isn't this kind of thing obvious at a glance?" Compared with the emotional instability of the men at the scene, sister Luna looked very calm.She looked like a nanny admonishing kindergarten children, and began to teach them. "Grandpa is dead."

"This kind of thing can't be seen at a glance..." Brother Fujitaka repeated what she said. "That's why we need to call an ambulance!" "What stupid things are you talking about! You are still a scientific worker. Everyone is dead, and now it's useless to call an ambulance!" "But, but, you..." Brother Fujitaka felt very dissatisfied with sister Luna's calm criticism and ridicule. "Then what are you going to do? Don't you just leave it alone?" "That's why I said that I can't leave it alone like this. Before notifying everyone, something must be done first."

"What do you mean? Say it clearly." "Grandpa is dead, and the cause of death may be heart failure or something. Although I don't know the detailed cause of death, in short, he fell to his death. Don't you really understand the significance and impact of this fact on us?" "What's the impact? You lost a relative!" "Please, there are other things!" As if thinking that she really wanted to choose such a dull person as her husband?Onee-san Luna held her head regretfully. "Isn't there still a question of succession? The question of the successor of EDGE-UP Group! If grandpa dies, what will happen to the company?"

"Of course it will be inherited by Aunt Hu Liu Nai!" "What about after Aunt Hu Liunai?" "Of course that's what I just said. Our two knots...ah!" Brother Fujitaka finally understood what she wanted to express. He was about to stand up, but he fell to the ground, and his collapsed appearance was completely different from the previous moment. The same happened to the grandfather who fell to his death. "Yes, yes! It was just an oral agreement just now... There is no evidence. No, it has no legal effect." "That's right! It was hard to get Grandpa's consent, but in the end, because of his sudden death, it was completely useless, completely useless..."

"Then, then..." It seemed that the blow was too big, which paralyzed Brother Fujitaka's ability to think, and a bewildered and mournful expression appeared on his face.This also means that if he doesn't rely on Luna's sister's judgment, he probably can't do anything with his own strength. "Then what should I do? What should I do?" "It's not just that there is nothing to prove, there is another troublesome problem." Sister Luna sighed tactfully, as if she wanted to express that Brother Fujitaka is such a person who cannot be relied on. "Think about it carefully, what does it mean that grandpa is dead? It means that there is no way to write a new will!"

"Yeah, dead people can't move their hands!" "And it's not just that..." She patted her brother's arm impatiently. "Grandpa hasn't written this year's will yet. It was originally supposed to be written after the New Year's meeting, but because it has been too late to decide who to choose as the heir, he hasn't written it yet. Doesn't this mean that it is the latest among all existing wills?" Only the written copy has the force of law?" "The last one I wrote...was last year?" "That's right. Before grandpa writes a new will, the old one should not be invalidated. Since grandpa is dead, if there is no new will, then only last year's will is valid."

"This, so to speak, also, that is to say..." "Yeah, that's how it happened. In last year's will, who was named the heir by grandpa?" what!I almost made a sound.Now is not the time to laugh at Brother Fujitaka.If Luna-san didn't mention it, I wouldn't have thought of its importance at all. "Miss Yuri...?" "Yeah, Yuri, that woman." Luna sister's disgusting tone made me want to plug my ears unconsciously.What will happen to Luna-san if she finds out that I am also named as the heir along with Yuri-san?Maybe they will beat me up. "That woman will inherit all the property. There is nothing left of EDGE-UP's management rights and the property of the Fukagami family. It all belongs to that woman! An outsider who has no blood relationship with grandpa took away everything. We But you won’t get a dime.”

"But, but," Brother Fujitaka finally recovered his thinking ability after he figured out the situation. "It can't be helped, isn't it? It's all become like this." As my grandfather said before, after marrying Ms. Yuri, who became the heir, he became the son-in-law of the Fuchigami family. Get a piece of the pie.Maybe the elder brother is planning to do just that, and immediately abandons Luna-san. "...you can only let nature take its course!" "Let it go with the flow?" Sister Luna was not unaware of Brother Fujitaka's secret plot, she showed a look of wanting to swallow him alive. "Aren't you going to do something? Are you a man?"

"What are you going to do? I can't do anything! What can I do? Do you want me to find a way to revive Grandpa?" "There is a way to make that woman lose her inheritance right!" "What did you say?" "If that woman becomes a murderer, she will naturally lose the right to inherit the inheritance. In this way, according to the relevant inheritance rights of the civil law, we blood relatives can distribute the inheritance. Right? That's why you are asked to prepare so that the woman can become a prisoner what!" "But, but. You, you said to make her a prisoner. How do you do this kind of thing? You are talking about how to make her a prisoner, what should you do?"

"Prepare the necessary props! First of all, the corpse. It fell there." Seeing that the grandfather's corpse was like a stone on the side of the road that was about to be kicked away, it was handled hastily. "Then, just prepare the murder weapon here." "The murder weapon. You..." "Just make it look like Grandpa got hit on the head with something, and then it's a homicide." "Are you an idiot?" Brother Fujitaka, whose momentum was suppressed, finally started to fight back with a high profile. "You look down on the Japanese police too much! In this world, there are so-called scientific investigations, and Japan has a forensic autopsy system. No, wait, it seems that there is no such thing in Angui." Although I think the topic of discussion now is actually not so It's important, but my brother corrected me in a serious manner, probably because the blood of a scientific worker in him is boiling! "However, there is a medical university here. Let me tell you, as long as the forensic doctor autopsies, whether it is death or homicide, you will know once. It only needs one time. Pretending is useless. Don't you even understand this kind of thing? "

"It's you who don't understand! The cause of death doesn't matter at all." The domineering elder sister Luna glared at her elder brother, and refuted his words as if they were farts. "Even after an autopsy, it doesn't matter if the cause of death is heart failure. As long as there is evidence of a heavy blow by an object, the police must investigate, right? Even if the heavy blow is not the direct cause of death, it will become an injury incident. With luck, Maybe it will be determined that the heart failure caused by a severe blow has become a crime of causing death. If you are unlucky, you may be prosecuted for attempted murder. In short, if it can be proved that she intended to harm grandpa, she cannot inherit the inheritance In this way, wouldn’t the goal of depriving the woman of inheritance be achieved? Isn’t this very simple?” "But, the murder weapon..." Brother Fujitaka was gradually persuaded, and even his refutation seemed perfunctory. "What about the murder weapon? Use that wine bottle?" He took out the empty sake bottle from under his grandfather's jaw. "Stupid! You can't blame that woman with that thing!" "What's the use of that?" "Of course it's something that can be associated with that woman. It should be placed in the reception room." "The reception room?" "A vase with a Phalaenopsis in it." "Hey... wait, isn't that Aunt Hurunai's stuff?" "Yeah, it's just a gift from that woman to Auntie!" "However, does the vase with the Phalaenopsis in it really remind people of Yuri-san? I think it should first remind people of Auntie!" "You're really dull! Think about it, whose fingerprints are on the vase?" After the elder brother exclaimed in surprise, sister Luna sneered like a sadist on her lips, mocking him sarcastically. "Yes, only the woman, only the woman's fingerprints. Auntie didn't take it into her room. After the woman gave the gift, she put it in the reception room with her own hands. As long as we don't get fingerprints on the vase, Just bring the vase here." "How can I avoid getting fingerprints?" "Or..." Sister Luna said in a sharp voice, as if asking the eldest brother to think for himself: "You can also wipe off your fingerprints after you get it. Anyway, that's it, you know? If you know, go and get the vase immediately come here." In short, except for Mai sister, the "prisoners" have the same idea as Luna sister, and they also use the same disguise.It was exhausting to finally see something close to the truth for myself.Grandpa's death was not a homicide at all... Apparently, this was the conclusion. If you think about it carefully, so far, the grandfather's body has not been dissected by a forensic doctor.Every time what appeared in front of his eyes, he would always be identified as a homicide.Before the facts of the case were clarified through scientific handling, that is, before the time of death and the cause of death were calculated, the grandfather was often "resurrected" because of the "reset" of time and space. Of course, I don't know the real cause of my grandfather's death, but it was probably a cerebral hemorrhage.Alcohol is the main reason. Excessive drinking shortened Grandpa's life, and that's all I can think of.In the first round, I drank with my grandfather, he was obviously not dead at that time, why did my grandfather die from the second round?In this case, the problem lies in the amount of drinking.In the first round, I also drank a lot of wine. Although I can't confirm it rigorously, I think my grandfather drank about half a liter of wine.In medicine, I certainly don't know how much to drink before death. In short... If he only drank half of it, he shouldn't die.But if you drink a liter of wine alone, your body will not be able to stand up.Now that's all I can explain. Because I didn't drink with my grandfather, he died.This premise is roughly correct.It's just that, in this way, grandpa's death was not caused by the murder, but because he drank alone and overdose. Grandpa didn't die because of the homicide, but the finder appeared without exception.Therefore, the situation will become so complicated.The reason is naturally that if grandpa died like this at this point (that is, before the new will was written), last year's will would come into force, and Yuri-san would become the heir of EDGE-UP. The management rights of EDGE-UP and the properties of the Fuchigami family will all be taken away by outsiders. As a relative, I will get nothing in the end-the "prisoners" are afraid that this will happen. In the second round, when Grandpa's body was first discovered.I recalled that when Aunt Ye Liuming was about to lean on her grandfather, sister Luna stopped her with a startling momentum, saying that it was something that could not be touched before the police arrived.At that time, I felt that the attitude of the "prisoner" who insisted on preserving the scene was really incomprehensible.But thinking about it now, it was just that they wanted to portray the accidental death of grandpa as a "murder incident".If someone accidentally touched the vase, wouldn't that ruin Miss Youli's fingerprints on it?I guess, most of them think so. Sister Luna and brother Fujitaka, the lovers, followed by Shifu brother, mother, and Mr. Tsutsuya, all had the same intention, trying to disguise the death of grandpa as a murder or injury, and then put the blame on Miss Youli, and then deprived her of her inheritance. What the "prisoners" have in common is that they are limited to those who know from sister Luna that grandpa has not yet written a will. The only exception is Mai sister, she did not put the blame on Yuri-san, but put the blame on Luna sister.This fact can be seen from the fact that Luna's sister's earrings were left behind at the scene.This is to avenge the younger sister who took away the man she loves.Or, although this kind of imagination is disgusting, judging from the situation of Mai sister at that time, maybe it was really a murder in that round.The blow of broken love left her in a mentally abnormal state.Maybe my grandfather said unintentional words to the emotionally unstable sister Wu that stimulated her sense of inferiority—this assumption that I had vaguely sketched in my head before may have been guessed by accident.Sister Mai commits crimes impulsively, and in a panic, uses her sister's earrings that she got by chance—of course, all of this has been "reset", sealed into the torrent of history, and it doesn't matter now. My sister Luna lost her temper with her brother who didn't respond no matter how much he urged her, and was about to go get the vase when I stopped her.Even though time and space will be "reset", if I see my grandfather's body being destroyed in front of my eyes, I will feel uneasy. "Sounds like a clever plan. But, is my sister forgetting something important? What are you going to do if I tell the truth to the police?" "Little Q, really, you..." Sister Luna finally realized that I was there, and seeing her flustered look, it seemed that her thoughtfulness was only modest. "Aren't you going to help us? You don't think so, do you? No? Hey!" "Of course I won't help you, and I have no reason to help you." "Rights, obligations...of course there is!" Probably panicked, sister Luna grabbed the clothes on my chest and kept shaking my body. "This is not someone else's business, you know? Huh? Little Q! If all the property is given to that woman, we won't even get a dime! Little Q should be troubled by it too! Is it like this? ? Little Q will also feel very troubled!" "There's no way, it's already like this." I squinted at my brother, imitating his previous words. "Can you stop calling Yuri-san 'that woman' from now on?" "Hey, what's going on? What's going on with you, little Q!" Sister Luna, who approached to plead, yelled with her almond eyes wide open. She opened her mouth wide, and bloodshot eyes appeared in her two eyeballs. "What exactly do you want? Are you in the same camp as that woman? Are you that woman's partner? What exactly do you want? Tell me, what are you going to do? Tell me clearly! " "I can't help it." Her overbearing attitude made me unable to get away with it, so I had no choice but to say: "Because I like Miss Youli." "what?" "If I have to choose a side, I can only choose to betray my brother." "Ah, it's... so. It's like this..." Luna sister suddenly let go of my chest as if her soul had come out of her body.With a dumbfounded expression, she murmured as if she was talking to herself: "Yes, that's how it is! So it's like this! Xiao Q likes her! That's how it is! Then, there is no other way, love can win over everything." "Hey, Luna." Elder sister Luna was in a trance like a boat of nuns praying to the statue of Maria, and her brother looked at her uneasily. "No way...Q Taro's mouth can still be closed. Don't think about some things..." "What do you think of me?" Elder sister Luna changed her depressed expression, her eyes hung upwards. "Am I a cold-blooded murderer who violently swings an ax and wields a chainsaw? Don't be kidding me! Forget what I just said! I seem to be a little bit obsessed, so I can say such horrible things, I'm sorry. "Sister Luna suddenly hugged me, as if she was going to wipe my tracksuit like a towel, she rubbed her face against mine. "Forget it! Please forget, I didn't intend to do that, I'm really not such a heartless woman. Really, please believe me. Please!" "You..." Even Brother Fujitaka couldn't help being dumbfounded. "What did you do in front of me?" "However, if I am hated by Xiao Q, I will not be able to live!" "Didn't you think you would be hated by me?" Like the grandfather's corpse that forgot to lie prone in front of them, they temporarily fell into a state of dementia and excitement.It may also be that he was too scared to inform everyone about his grandfather's death, so he wanted to delay it as much as possible.Not only that, but even the death of my grandfather, the future I was waiting for, and my despair of getting nothing, etc., I wanted to delay as much as possible.In short, we announced the news of Grandpa's death to everyone without any arrangement or disguise to confuse the public. There was no "murder incident" in the eighth round, but the fact of Grandpa's death remained unchanged. "I've already persuaded him earnestly, but I still hide and drink." Aunt Hu Liunai sighed after knowing the cause of grandpa's death. "If you just listen to other people's advice obediently, then you can live longer." In that case, just don't let grandpa drink.Of course, grandpa is old and he doesn't know how long he will live, but no matter what, he shouldn't choose to fall to his death during the Chinese New Year.Moreover, the will has not been fully processed, and it seems that the follow-up will become very troublesome.If it's EDGE-UP's future, we will feel very troubled by who is being blamed on Yuri-san and me—the two most unmotivated people. Yuan Shang's family caused a great commotion because of the sudden death of grandpa.After midnight, January 2nd "resets" again, and I wake up in bed.It's finally the last round, and this is the first time that the space-time black hole has made me feel so long. At one o'clock in the morning, I walked downstairs from the attic room.After picking up the earrings on the way down the stairs, I went to the kitchen.I heard my grandfather's energetic voice. He said to Aunt Hu Runai and Mrs. Juzi that there is no red colored paper, etc. The conversation is still the same as before. "Grandpa, I'm sorry..." Although they were still talking, I interrupted. "I have something to say." Grandpa was very surprised because he forgot that I was sleeping in the main house. He looked at Aunt Hurunai and Mrs. Juzi who were also stunned. "I also want to tell my aunt and Mrs. Juzi." "It's early in the morning, what's the matter?" Grandpa poked his head over and looked at my face carefully. "Q Taro, are you okay? You seem to have drunk a lot yesterday." "What I want to say happens to be related to drinking." People who have died of overdose are worried that I drank too much, and this feeling is really complicated. "Grandpa, I know it's sudden to say this, but this is the only request in my life." "What's wrong? The expression is so serious." "That is, may I ask you to quit the habit of drinking?" "You, what are you talking about?" Probably because he was concerned about Aunt Hurunai's and Mrs. Juzi's ears, Grandpa bent down rare and leaned forward. "What did you say to tell me to quit. As for me, originally... well, I wasn't drinking at all! I didn't drink, I cherish my health very much, the person who should control drinking is you, right?" "It's no use trying to get away with it! You plan to hide in the attic for a drink today!" "What are you talking about! What evidence do you have? You speak so thoughtlessly." "Stop drinking without telling Auntie and Mrs. Juzi, otherwise I will know..." "Don't, don't show such a scary expression! You are still in a hangover! Really, are you blaming others?" Grandpa didn't know whether to be awkward, or to persuade me in a gentle tone, his body couldn't help shaking. "Isn't it good to drink, only a few drinks during the New Year's holiday." "No! Besides, what I'm talking about is asking you to stop drinking, not just this New Year's period, and you can't drink anymore from now on." "What! You, you actually said such cruel things. You are so heartless to take away other people's fun." "Grandpa, please make an agreement with me that from now on you are not allowed to drink, not even a full glass of wine." "You , You, you don't know what to do. Do you know who you're talking to?" "I also want to ask Aunt Hurunai and Mrs. Juzi." Grandpa was furious because of the unreasonable request.I turned a blind eye to his anger and bowed to Aunt Ruo and the others. "If Grandpa doesn't keep the promise and drinks, please let me know." "Hey, wait a minute, wait! I didn't promise anything to you! I didn't promise you, how could I promise, why did I make such a stupid agreement. " "By the way, Grandpa, how is Chairman He Tian?" I was disgusted by the suggestive voice, and I couldn't help getting goose bumps all over my body. "What's the matter with Ms. Mayu Yui? Didn't you get in touch? Oh, it seems that I declined to see the photo! At least we can meet each other. bump!It was as if a switch had been turned on, and fell into a stark silence.Grandpa's eyes seemed to be falling to the ground, his jaw trembled slightly, and his lips moved several times, but he didn't make a sound, as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.The potency seems too strong?I started worrying from the bottom of my heart.If instead of dying from drinking too much, but from being too hit, I can't laugh. "Of course, only I know about those things." Although I didn't know how much the impact could be softened, I still hurriedly added this sentence. "Only I know. So it all depends on whether Grandpa wants me to explain it to others?" "What are you talking about?" Aunt Hu Liunai was aware of the specific situation, but she seemed to sense something serious behind the scenes. She looked at us worriedly. "What the hell are you talking about?" But my grandfather still hesitated in his speech, probably because he felt difficulty in breathing?His shoulders were shaking violently up and down, and it was difficult for his eyes to focus. The eyes staring at me were sometimes out of focus. "...I promise you." After a long silence, grandpa muttered like this. "I made a promise with you not to drink anymore." "As you have heard, Auntie and Mrs. Juzi. Please be witnesses together so that this agreement can be kept forever." "Is that all?" Grandpa interjected before Aunt Hu Liunai who wanted to ask a question. "Is that really the only thing you want to say?" "You mean, the only thing I want to agree on is drinking? Now that you've said that, allow me to make more requests. Please remove me from the list of candidates for Aunt Hurunai's adopted son, and Yuri Miss is too, because she is also looking forward to it in her heart." "I see, let's do this." After listening to the conditions, my grandfather gradually stabilized his mood, and seemed to have returned to his usual appearance, and said lightly at the corner of his mouth: "I'm sorry, Hu Liunai, Juzi, you can let the two of us alone for a while?" Perhaps because they felt relieved to see their grandfather regained their calmness, Aunt Hurunai and Mrs. Juzi left the main house without any doubts. "I think, your father and..." Grandpa's expression is not so much a sincere repentance, but rather a release from years of shackles, even if it is hearty. "...Zhong Zhijiang, I did something bad to them." "Why do you do that kind of thing? Do you really hate my mother and Aunt Ye Liuming so much?" "Perhaps! I used to have that kind of unscrupulous and reckless mentality. Thinking about it is really scary. Regarding what I have suffered with Hu Liunai, I may have the mentality of tit for tat, thinking that no matter how cruel things I do, I can do it." Forgive me. No! It's useless to talk about this kind of thing, anyway, I have nothing to say, so please forgive me!" "These words, please tell my father and uncle!" "I know, I really did something stupid, even I can't believe it." "It's a ghost's obsession!" "Ok?" "Everyone has been obsessed with ghosts!" Sister Luna's crazy demeanor in the previous round was deeply imprinted in my mind. "Just at that moment, there was no one around me who could dissuade me, so I went to a fork in the road of fate. Is it like this?" "Ok" "I won't tell anyone about those things. Grandpa and I just made an agreement like this. Since grandpa has deeply regretted it, there is no need to force you to confess to everyone. However, the exchange condition is that grandpa abide by the agreement with me .” "Quiet drinking, right? I get it, and I will never drink again." "You can't drink until you die!" "What an annoying statement! Well, I see." Looking at the back of my grandfather walking towards the main building, I was filled with emotion.In this way, I can finally go home.As long as grandpa abides by the rules and does not drink a drop, grandpa will not die in this round—no, it should be "today", because it will be the "decision version" on January 2nd. Bar!maybe!Of course, I am not God and cannot make absolute guarantees.Whether Grandpa's health is good or bad, there must be a medical diagnosis. Maybe he didn't die today, but he died suddenly tomorrow.However, at least today is no problem.We can go home safe and sound today. As if to strengthen my conviction, after noon, everyone gathered in the living room.Grandpa said in front of everyone that he would announce the will today as agreed. Even without listening to what my grandfather said, I already knew the contents of the will.According to the "schedule", sister Luna and brother Fujitaka should have already asked their grandfather, hoping that because they decided to get married, they could become the heirs of the Fuchigami family together.Grandpa also agreed to this matter, and the content of the will was of course written according to the decision at that time.Sure enough, my grandfather said it seriously, and with marriage as a prerequisite, let sister Luna and brother Fujitaka inherit the Fuchigami family together, and the EDGE-UP group will be handed over to the two to succeed.In addition, the declared part of the inheritance will be discussed with the lawyer and distributed equally to each person.Moreover, as a manager, he hired the unemployed father and uncle to work in EDGE-UP Group. Everyone reacts differently.Although the mother and Aunt Ye Liuming felt that it was a pity that their child could not become the heir alone, they were also glad to be able to share the property, with a clear look of relief on their faces.In addition, because the unemployed husband will soon have a job, he is also very happy, and the two sisters who are at odds also look at each other and smile.Shifu's elder brother and Mr. Tsutsuya were dissatisfied with the expression "Obviously I am more qualified", and they had no choice but to accept this fact.Yuri-san didn't show any special expression, but I knew in my heart that she was relieved that she wasn't named. I'm most worried about Mai sister.Her brother Fujitaka, whom she has been secretly in love with, decided to marry her younger sister who made her feel inferior.I prepared quietly and secretly, trying to stop her quickly if something happened, but she was unexpectedly calm.Mai sister probably also has.I was mentally prepared, thinking that since it was Grandpa's decision, everything was a foregone conclusion.Although facing the same shock, because of the different conditions and situations, people's reactions will also change accordingly. Soon, there was a banquet in the restaurant.Perhaps because of the reaction force, the originally dignified New Year's party turned into a joyous banquet.Grandpa also earnestly abided by the agreement, did not drink any alcohol, and only drank oolong tea from the beginning to the end.Even so, he was in a very happy mood, singing karaoke happily.Brother Shi Shifu, who loves lively scenes, also took the opportunity to have a carnival.What was supposed to be a funeral for New Years has turned into an unbelievably happy time. After spending a short but substantial happy time at the banquet, Aunt Ye Liuming and her daughters happily bowed and said goodbye to their grandfather and Aunt Hu Liunai; our extended family also sat in the car of Shifu’s elder brother and prepared to return home. Home.However, Shi Shifu's brother drank too much alcohol because of his excitement, so the car was handed over to his mother to drive. If I go home like this, in the (real) tomorrow morning, I will wake up in my own home, and the long second of January will finally come to an end.Just thinking about it like this, the fatigue that has accumulated for a long time suddenly surged up.There is no need to worry about troubles anymore—I said this to myself, and I relaxed back in my chair. Yet, somehow, I suddenly felt on pins and needles, as if I had forgotten something, and it was extremely important.What exactly was forgotten? Maybe I thought too much, I thought so.Maybe I'm getting a little nervous about the long 2nd of January (only me, to be precise), I convince myself, but it doesn't work.The feeling of something wrong all over the body, not only did not diminish, but became more serious. "Something is not right, something is not right", there is a feeling of alarm bells in my mind. The car started.Grandpa, Aunt Hu Liunai and Mrs. Juzi watched us leave from the porch. When I watched their waving gestures, I finally knew something was wrong. By the way, that... Where did Mr. Munakata go? --
