Matsuura was that person's surname, and they had known each other for a long time.Kirihara only told Tomohiko so much, and after explaining this, the two went to the warehouse next door. Tomohiko was puzzled.Judging from Kirihara's smiling face, that person should not be someone he doesn't want to see.In this way, Tomohiko's previous thought was wrong.However, Tomohiko was even more worried about Kirihara's expression before he smiled.Although it was only for a short moment, Kirihara shot out a violent air condensed from negative energy all over his body.That look and the smile that followed were really incoherent.Although Tomohiko wondered if he was worrying too much, he really couldn't believe that the abnormality came from his misunderstanding.

Hong Hui came back, she just went to the next door with tea. "How?" Yuhiko asked. Hong Hui tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "It looks like it's very happy. As soon as I entered, they were laughing and telling bad jokes. Can you imagine that Kirihara can tell bad jokes?" "cannot." "But that's the truth, I still doubt my ears." Hong Hui made a movement of picking his ears. "Have you heard why Matsuura is looking for him?" She shook her head apologetically. "When I'm around, they just gossip, as if they don't want others to hear."

"Oh." Tomohiko felt uneasy.What the hell are they talking about next door? After another thirty minutes or so, he felt the door next door open.After another ten seconds, the store door opened, and Kirihara came in with his head. "I'll send Mr. Matsuura off." "Ah, he's leaving?" "Well, we talked for a long time." Matsuura behind Kirihara said "Excuse me" and waved his hand. The door closed again, and Tomohiko looked at Hiroe, who was also looking at him. "What's going on?" Tomohiko said. "It's the first time I saw Kirihara like that." Hong Hui opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Not long after, Tong Yuan came back, opened the door and said, "Yuencun, come to the next door." "Oh...okay." When Tomohiko replied, the door was already closed. Tomohiko asked Honghui to watch the store, she tilted her head in surprise, and Tomohiko could only shake his head at her.Although Tomohiko has known Kirihara for many years, his understanding of him is extremely limited. Once next door, Kirihara was opening the window to let the air circulate.Tomohiko immediately understood why he was doing this, because the room was filled with smoke.As far as Tomohiko knew, this was the first time Kirihara had allowed a visitor to smoke.Aluminum foil containers for Nabeyaki udon noodles bought at convenience stores were used as ashtrays.

"He is kind to me, there is nothing to entertain, I think at least let him smoke." Kirihara said, as if he wanted to solve Tomohiko's doubts.It sounded like an excuse, but Tomohiko felt that this was not something Kirihara would do. When the room temperature dropped to the same temperature as December outside, Kirihara closed the windows. "Ruo Honghui will ask you what we talked about later," he said, sitting on the sofa, "just say that Mr. Matsuura wants me to sell him two computers at the purchase price. I think she must be guessing what we are talking about now." something."

"So, it's not like that?" Tomohiko said, "Can't she know?" "Ok." "Is it related to that Matsuura?" "Yes." Tong Yuan nodded. Tomohiko pushed his hair back with both hands. "Well, I find it very boring. I don't even know who he is." "A person employed by my family." "what?" "I said that my family used to run a pawn shop, and he worked in my family at that time." "Oh." The answer was beyond Tomohiko's imagination. "After my father passed away, he worked at my house until the pawnshop closed. To be honest, my mother and I depended on him for support. Without Mr. Matsuura, we might end up living on the streets as soon as my father left."

Tomohiko didn't know how to answer.From Kirihara's usual appearance, it's really hard to imagine that he can speak the words of this third-rate novel.Tomohiko thought it was probably because of his emotional excitement when he saw his former benefactor. "Then what is your family's benefactor coming to you for now? No, wait a minute, how does he know you're here? You contacted him?" "No. He came here because he knew I was doing business here." "How does he know?" "Well," Tong Yuan twisted his cheeks slightly, "I seem to have heard what Jin Cheng said."

"Jincheng?" Tomohiko felt an ominous premonition in his heart. "Last time I told you that even if you could make a bootleg 'Super Mario,' you didn't know how they were going to sell it. Now you know." "What's the mystery?" "It's not that exaggerated," Kirihara shook his body, "It's very simple. There is a black market for children." "What's the meaning?" "Mr. Matsuura specializes in dealing with some shady products. He touches everything, as long as he can make money, he buys and resells. I heard that the one he has worked hard recently is a child's game. 'Super Mario' is very popular in regular stores. It’s hard to buy, and the price doesn’t have to be much lower than the actual price to sell well.”

"Where did he get into 'Mario'? What's his special connection at Nintendo?" "Where is that kind of connection, but he has a special purchase channel." Kirihara smiled meaningfully, "It's just ordinary children, children will bring things to him to sell. Where do those children's things come from? It's ridiculous, some are stolen, and some are snatched from kids with 'Mario'. Mr. Matsuura has more than 300 such bad kids on the list, and they regularly sell their harvest to him. He Buy it at 10% to 30% of the market price, and sell it at 70% of the price.”

"He also sells fake 'Super Mario'?" "Mr. Matsuura has his sales network, and he said there are several middlemen similar to him. Give these people, 'Super Mario' sells for five or six thousand yuan, and it is guaranteed to sell out in a few moments." "Kirihara," Tomohiko stretched out his right hand slightly, "You said you wouldn't do it. We agreed last time that this is too dangerous, isn't it?" Hearing Tomohiko's words, Kirihara smiled wryly.Tomohiko tried hard to decipher the smile, but couldn't understand the true meaning.

"Mr. Matsuura," Kirihara said, "he heard about me from Jincheng and found out that I was the son of his former employer, so he wanted to persuade me." "You won't be persuaded, right?" Tomohiko asked. Kirihara sighed heavily, leaning his upper body slightly towards Tomohiko. "I'm alone in this matter, you don't touch it at all, and don't care what I'm doing. It's the same with Honghui, don't let her find out what I'm doing." "Kirihara!" Tomohiko shook his head, "It's too dangerous, we can't do this!" "I know." Tomohiko stared at Kirihara's serious eyes, feeling desperate.When Kirihara's eyes appeared like this, Tomohiko knew that he could not convince him after all. "I'm here too...to help." "No." "But, it's really dangerous..." Tomohiko muttered.
