Chapter 101 Section Eleven

Sasagaki decided to visit Shinozuka Yasuharu's residence with Kazunari Shinozuka on a Sunday in mid-December.For this reason, Sasagaki came to Tokyo for two consecutive months. "I don't know if he wants to see me." Sasagaki said in the car. "Will not drive us out." "I wish he was home." "Don't worry about this, I have news from inside." "Inside?" "It's the maid." At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Kazun arrived at Shinozuka's house in a Mercedes-Benz.The parking space for visitors is next to the gate, and 10% of the cars are parked.

"It's really a mansion. Just from the outside, I don't know how big it is inside." Said Sasagaki who looked up at the house from the gate.There are only trees to be seen behind the gates and high walls.Yicheng pressed the button on the intercom installed next to the gate, and someone responded immediately. "Long time no see, Mr. Yicheng." It was the voice of a middle-aged woman, who seemed to be looking at this side through the camera. "Hi Miaozi, is cousin Kang Qing there?" "The master is at home, please wait a moment." The intercom hung up.After a minute or two, the voice came from the communication port again. "My lord, please go around to the yard."

"it is good." At the same time as Yicheng answered, there was a metallic sound from the small door on the side, and it was locked open. Sasagaki followed Kazunari and stepped into the mansion.A long stone-paved corridor extends to the mansion.Sasagaki thought, it really looks like a foreign movie. There happened to be two women walking over from the porch.Sasagaki knew without any introduction that it was the daughter of Yukiho and Shinozuka Yasuharu, and he knew that the girl was Mika. "What should I do?" Yicheng asked in a low voice. "Find any tricks to help me get through." Sasagaki whispered.

The two walked slowly on the corridor, Xuesui smiled and nodded to them, and the four of them stopped at the middle of the corridor. "Hi, I'm here to interrupt." Yicheng spoke first. "Long time no see, how is everything?" Xuesui asked. "Fortunately, you look pretty good." "TOEFL." "The store in Osaka is about to open, how are you preparing?" "There are so many things that don't go according to plan. It's such a headache. Even superficiality is not enough. I'm going to a meeting about it later." "It's been hard work." Yicheng turned to the girl beside her, "Where's Meijia? How are you?"

The girl nodded with a smile, she gave Sasagaki a thin impression.He once heard Yicheng say that she refused to accept Xuesui, but as far as he saw, there was no such atmosphere.Sasagaki was a little surprised. "I want to help Meijia find clothes for Christmas." Xuesui said. "Oh, that's great." "Mr. Kazunari, this is..." Yukiho looked towards Sasagaki. "Oh, our company's manufacturer." Kazari said nonchalantly. "Hello." Sasagaki bowed his head to salute, and when he raised his head, his eyes met Yukiho's. This is the first confrontation after nineteen years.As an adult, Sasagaki had met several times, but never face to face like this.He remembered the first time he met in that old apartment in Osaka, the girl from that time was right in front of him, with the same pair of eyes.

Do you remember, Miss Nishimoto Yukiho?Sasagaki said to her in his heart.I have been following you for nineteen years, even in my dreams.But you must not remember me, right?An old man like me is just one of those fools you've been tricking around. Xuesui smiled sweetly and said, "Are you from Osaka?" It was unexpected, probably recognized from the accent. "Uh, yes." Sasagaki was a little embarrassed. "Sure enough, I guessed right. I'm going to open a store in Shinsaibashi this time, so please come and advise me." She took out a card from her bag, which was an invitation letter for the opening.

"Oh, in that case, I'll ask my relatives if they want to go." Sasagaki said. "It's really nostalgic," Xuesui stared at him, "reminds me of the past." There was no smile in her expression, and her eyes stared into the distance.Suddenly a smile spread across her face. "My husband is over there in the yard. It seems that he is dissatisfied with yesterday's golf performance and is stepping up his practice." These words were addressed to Yicheng. "Well, I won't waste his time too much." "Where, please sit down slowly." Xuesui nodded to Mijia and started walking.Sasagaki and Kazunari sideways to give way.Watching Yukiho's back, Sasagaki thought to himself, this woman might remember me.

As Xuesui said, Kang Qing was playing golf in the south courtyard, and when she saw Yicheng approaching, she put down her club and greeted him with a smile.From his expression, he couldn't feel the indifference that drove his cousin to the subsidiary company.However, when Yi Chengyi introduced Sasagaki, Kang Qing immediately showed a look of vigilance. "Retired policeman in Osaka? Oh." He stared straight at Sasagaki's face. "There are some things I want my cousin to know anyway." Hearing what Yicheng said, Kang Qing lost all smiles on her face, pointed to the room and said, "Then let's talk inside."

"No, it's good to be here. It's still warm today, so we'll leave as soon as we finish talking." "Here?" Kang Qing looked at the two of them back and forth, then nodded, "Alright, I'll ask A Miao Duan to order a hot drink." There is a white dining table and four chairs in the courtyard.Maybe on a sunny day, the family will enjoy English afternoon tea here.Drinking the milk tea brought by the maid, Sasagaki imagined the picture of a happy family.However, the meeting was not pleasant.After Yicheng spoke, Kang Qing's face became more and more ugly.

Kazunari is talking about the episode about Yukiho. Sagaki and Kazunari discussed and sorted out all kinds of things that hinted at her true nature. Of course, Kirihara Ryoji's name also appeared many times.As expected, Kang Qing became furious halfway through the sentence.He slapped the table and stood up. "Ridiculous! What a fart!" "Cousin, please finish listening first." "You don't need to listen to know, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. You have time to do such boring things, why don't you think about how to rectify your company!"

"I also discovered this." Yicheng also stood up and said to Kang Qing's back, "I found the black hand who framed me." Kang Qing turned around, the corners of her mouth twitched angrily: "You can't say that this is also Xuesui's fault, right?" "You should know that Shinozuka Pharmaceutical's network was hacked. The hacker came in through the computer of the Hospital Affiliated to Teito University. A pharmacist in that hospital lived with a man not long ago. The mentioned Kirihara Ryoji." Yicheng's words immediately opened Kang Qing's eyes wide, and he was speechless for a while, with his mouth half-opened and motionless. "This is the truth." Sasagaki said aside, "The pharmacist identified it, and it is indeed Ryoji Kirihara." Kang Qing seemed to have said something.Nothing to do - Sasagaki heard these two words. Sasagaki took out a photo from his coat pocket. "May I have a look at this, please?" "What is this? Where's the photo?" "As Mr. Kazunari explained just now, the building where the homicide occurred nearly twenty years ago was in Osaka. The pharmacist and Ryoji Kirihara took the photo when they went to Osaka." "So what?" "I asked her the date they went to Osaka, which was three days from September 18th to 20th last year. What date is this, of course you remember?" It took Kang Qing a while, but he did remember, and couldn't help but let out a low "ah". "That's right," Sasagaki said, "September 19 was the day Ms. Karasawa Reiko passed away. Why her breathing suddenly stopped, even the hospital is incomprehensible." "Nonsense!" Kang Qing threw the photo away and said, "Yicheng, take this crazy old man and get the hell out of here! From now on, if you dare to mention this kind of thing again, don't even think about returning to our company. Let me tell you, your father is no longer the director of the company!" Then, he picked up the golf ball that had fallen to his feet and threw it hard at the net.The ball hit the iron poles that set up the net, rebounded vigorously, and hit the potted plants placed on the terrace, making a shattering sound.But without looking, he walked in from the terrace and slammed the glass door behind him. Kazunari sighed, looked at Sasagaki and smiled wryly: "Half of it is as we expected." "He must be in love with Tang Ze Xuesui with all his heart. This is that woman's weapon." "My cousin is dizzy now. When he calms down, he should think about what we said. There is only one way for us: wait." "I hope he understands." The two were about to go home when the maid rushed over. "Did something happen? I heard a loud noise." "Brother Kang Qing threw the golf ball. I don't know what I hit." "Hey! Are you injured?" "It's the potted plant that's injured, and the person is fine." The maid yelled "Aiya!" and looked at the potted plants placed side by side. "Oops, lady's cactus..." "her?" "Madam brought it back from Osaka, ah! The whole flower pot is broken." Yicheng went to the maid to check. "She's interested in growing cacti?" "No, I heard that Madam's deceased mother liked it." "Oh, I remember, indeed. I heard her say it at her mother's funeral." Yicheng was about to leave again, when the maid exclaimed, "Oh!" "What's wrong?" Yi Cheng asked. The maid picked up something from a broken flowerpot. "There's this in there." Yicheng took a look. "It's glass, the lenses of sunglasses." "It seems to be, probably mixed in the soil." The maid tilted her head, still putting the things on the broken pieces of the potted plant. "What's wrong?" Sasagaki was also a little curious and approached them. "Oh, it's nothing, there are shards of glass in the potting soil." Yi Cheng said. Sasagaki looked that way, and flat shards of glass came into his eyes.It did indeed appear to be the lens of sunglasses, probably broken from it, and he picked it up carefully.With just one glance, the blood in his whole body boiled.Several memories were revived, intertwined dizzyingly, and quickly merged into one class. "You said the cactus was brought from Osaka?" he asked in a low voice. "Yes, it was at her mother's house." "Were the potted plants in the yard back then?" "Yes. Mr. Sasagaki, what's wrong?" Kazunari also noticed something strange in his expression. "I don't know yet." Sasagaki picked up the glass lens and faced the sunlight. The lenses are light green in color.
