Taizo Ohara is a professor at Waying University and the dean of the School of Science and Engineering.Because of the special relationship with the founder of Hwa Young University, Taisan's father was the president of Hwa Young University.If it goes well, Taisan will be the candidate for the next principal, and it is very likely that he will be elected as the principal with few competitors. As the dean, he has to be familiar with the entire Institute of Technology, but his major is genetic engineering.Taisan had already made considerable achievements in scientific research when he was young, and his achievements in recent years have been fruitful and eye-catching.In any case, the current Heying University is full of vitality and has stepped out of the trough of lack of scientific research results with academic value, especially genetic engineering has occupied a leading position in this field.In this sense, Taisan's current status is not only due to his father's influence.

Although there are not many researches directly directed by Taisan, currently in Taisan's laboratory, scientific research projects are being carried out in full swing.He had several assistants and was one of the most famous professors among his students.Taisan sometimes invites his assistants and students to his home to entertain everyone.This will not only improve your reputation and get closer to your assistants and students, but also boost everyone's morale to promote learning and research. Taisanjia is only one tram stop away from Heying University.Not only the three Thai families, but almost everyone who is somewhat related to the founder of Heying University lives in this area.

Two people, a man and a woman, visited Taisan's house on the evening of the second day after the dispute between Taisan and Yuriko. At this time, the trees in the yard had begun to cast long shadows. The servant Ji Jiang heard the doorbell and went across the courtyard to open the gate, but the two people outside the gate did not give their names, and the man with an expressionless face asked in a dull tone, "Is Mr. Taizo Ohara at home?" ?” "I'm sorry, may I ask who you are..." Hearing Ji Jiang's question, the man said again: "You just need to say that you are from the club."

There's something special about these two.The man was wearing a decent black suit. He was tall and about thirty-four or five years old, but he didn't look like a Japanese no matter what he looked at. There was a dull look in his deeply sunken eyes.The woman had long hair, slender eyes and cold eyes, and her tightly closed lips made people feel that she was a strong-willed person. Tai San, who was standing opposite these two people in the reception room, nodded his jaw with some satisfaction after just one glance, because the two people in front of him were exactly what he imagined detectives would look like.

He made a gesture of asking the two to sit down, and after they were seated, he sat down opposite him. "Although I entrust you for the first time, I have collected a lot of evaluations about the Detective Club before. On the whole, everyone's evaluations are quite good. In addition, there are also members of yours among my colleagues, and they seem to appreciate yours. Work is also very satisfying.” "you flatter me." The man bowed his head in thanks, and the woman sitting next to him also bowed her head. "Not only is the reputation of your work very good, but my colleague also said that you will strictly keep the client's secrets. Is this correct?"

"That's right." Said the man who seemed to have no emotion.Even this indifferent expression satisfied Taisan. "Very good. Let's get down to business, then." Taisan leaned forward, lightly clasped his hands together and put them on the table. "I have two daughters, Naoko is the eldest and Yuriko is the second. Maybe this is a digression, the two sisters are not the same mother." "Is it a remarriage?" asked the woman who was taking notes.It's a low, steady voice like an announcer's. Taisan nodded: "Yes. Naoko's mother left home when Naoko was three years old and took Naoko away. She only left a letter at that time, saying that she didn't want to rely on others and wanted to raise her daughter by herself. Next to the letter is a signed divorce agreement. I remarried a year later, and my wife is Yuriko's mother."

At that time, although Taisan had just been promoted to associate professor, he already had a considerable status in Heying University.The person he chose for remarriage was the daughter of Associate Professor Wannian.Wan Nian is a man who was unable to be promoted to a professor due to factional strife. He hoped that he could become relatives with Tai San to improve his status. Therefore, knowing that his daughter already had a boyfriend, he still let her marry Tai San.All this was known to Tai San after he got married, and he also learned that his wife's boyfriend at the time was his colleague Kikui.

"Ten years after the remarriage, the second wife, Yuriko's mother, died of illness. It seems that her health was not good before marriage. However, just two years after the death of the wife, the ex-wife also died. This is really big What an irony. I decided to take Naoko back, which is also the request of Naoko's mother before she died." "It should be," said the man in the black suit. "This time, what I want to ask you to do is about Yuriko." Taisan swept his eyes over the faces of the two people in front of him and continued, "The thing is like this, there is a male doctor in my family, surnamed Hayama, He is responsible for the health of our whole family. Recently he told me that Yuriko seemed to be pregnant. I pushed him back at that time, blaming him for talking nonsense. However, I still became alert and observed carefully, and I really found that Yuriko’s actions were indeed true. It was a bit suspicious. So I asked Hayama to investigate the matter, and it turned out to be true. I asked Yuriko who the father of the child was, but she didn't say anything, which really made me helpless."

"That is to say, you are entrusting us to find out Miss Yuriko's boyfriend, right?" "Exactly." Tai San's eyes flashed with seriousness, "And it must be... very secretly." "Do you have a photo of Miss Yuriko here?" "It's ready." Taisan opened the file package on the side, and took out the photo of Yuriko from it, and of course the information of the relevant personnel in his research laboratory.
