Saturday, January 20th, afternoon, sunset to rise to the flat mansion.

Takeyoshi Wamura drove to the Mori Detective Office and brought Mori and Yamazaki here, knocked on the door and was taken to the backyard by the servant who answered the door, where he met Himashita and his wife, Lady Hisaka, and some guests.

After greeting the couple and the guests, Mori and Takeyoshi Tomura sat down at a long table and got to the point of wine tasting. Yamazaki took his drink and found another place to sit.

Sunshita Shenghei first took out three bottles of wine wrapped in only the mouth of the bottle and poured them for everyone, and as a result, Shoyoshi Gomura tasted them one by one; Sunxia Shenghei took out three more bottles and poured them for everyone, and as a result, Shoyoshi Gomura tasted them one by one; Sunxia Shenghei took out three bottles again and poured them for everyone, and as a result, Shoyoshi Gomura tasted them one by one again.

Sun Shengping's face turned pale, "In that case, I'll show you my most precious collection." Then he said to the people, "Everyone, please take care of yourself, I will be out of company first." After that, he went back to the house, and bumped into a chair as he passed by the small round table where Yamazaki was.

"Whew!" Waimura Zhangji breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his head, "I'll go to the bathroom." After saying that, he also went back to the house, and the other people who went to the bathroom also got up and said goodbye.

"Ah, is this an intermission?" said Maori's face, who had drunk nine glasses of wine, was already a little drunk, "Then I'll get some sleep first." As he spoke, he lay down on the table.

Yamazaki shook his head, no wonder Uncle Maori asked me to come here, it turned out that he wanted me to help him go home later.

At this time, a chubby middle-aged man hurried past Yamazaki's table, and Yamazaki frowned for a moment, and then got up and followed.

After a while, the middle-aged man entered the hall of the house, and Yamazaki stopped outside the hall to listen, listening to the middle-aged man slow down, understanding that he was waiting for the other guests who went to the bathroom to enter the passage to the bathroom before acting.

Sure enough, a moment later, Yamazaki heard the sound of a fast run, and understood that he had seen no one around and immediately ran to the back of the stairs in the hall, the staircase that led to the cellar.

Yamazaki deduced that he would stick his head out again to make sure that there was no one around, so he walked out, only to see a middle-aged man sneaking out from behind the stairs, and he was stunned when he saw Yamazaki.

Yamazaki asked as he walked over, "I'm an assistant to the Maori detective, can you talk about it, sir?"

"You, I'......" The middle-aged man didn't know what to say for a while.

Yamazaki grabbed the middle-aged man, "Come on, let's find a place to talk." As he spoke, he pulled the middle-aged man upstairs.

A moment later, in the second-floor hallway, at a window with a view of the backyard.

Yamazaki let go of the middle-aged man, "I'm sorry, I was rude just now." ”

"What do you want to tell me?" said the middle-aged man, a little panicked, "I didn't do anything. ”

"I know. Yamazaki said, "I know you want to kill Mr. Hyuta." ”

"You, you talk nonsense. The middle-aged man exclaimed, but his voice was very low, obviously subconsciously not wanting to attract attention.

"I want to know why you are, you say it, maybe I can help you. Yamazaki said, then asked rhetorically, "Speaking out doesn't affect you, does it?"

"I ......" The middle-aged man was hesitating when he suddenly saw Sunrise appear in the backyard with wine, and sat down on the ground as if he had lost his strength for a while.

Soon after, there was applause in the backyard, and it was clear that Takeshi Waimura had won the bet of forgiving his debts by tasting the sake that Sunshita Shohei had treasured.

"I also have a debt. The middle-aged man said with some despair, " I am the owner of a town factory, a few years ago when the business was sluggish, I borrowed a few sums of money from Hisaka Life, and there is still a lot left, but recently, the Good Mood Foundation and the Big Six Consortium have been competing with each other in the retail industry, one side has hoarded a huge amount of crude oil, using the processing base in Hokkaido with low-cost logistics to lower prices, and the other side has attracted us to these town factories to provide products nearby, although my income is not much, but I calculated it, and I can barely pay it back when the deadline comes, but Sunxia Shengping forced me to repay the loan in advance. ”

Yamazaki asked, "How did you sign your contract?"

"No, I asked a lawyer, and there is an early reminder clause in the contract. And I have borrowed money from him a few times before, and I have mortgaged the whole factory to him, but now there is really nothing else that can be used as collateral to borrow money from other places to turn around, so I can only beg him. The middle-aged man said, "But I begged him several times without success, and later inquired to find out that he lost a lot of money on his investment last year, and the purpose of forcing me to pay back the money was actually to want the land of my factory." I understand him, he has his difficulties, but there are dozens of workers in my factory, and it is difficult to find jobs now, and if the factory is closed, they will ...... I really can't say anything about those employees, we all survived the most difficult period of no business in the past few years, and now, now, I can't say it. "I really don't want to do this, but I can't help it, it's better for me to go to jail than for my employees to lose their jobs." ”

"Well," said Yamazaki, "do you know about Takei Finance? you go and borrow money to pay off your account and get your factory back, and then use it as collateral for Takei Finance." ”

The middle-aged man wiped his tears and said expectantly, "Sir, do you know them? They wouldn't lend me such a large sum of money without collateral." ”

"When you see Mr. Takei or Ms. Hanai, they say that Detective Maori told you to go, but it's not good to keep it a secret from the outside world, so it's not good for people to know. Yamazaki said.

"I understand this, I understand this. The middle-aged man said gratefully, "Thank you so much." ”

"Now that your problem is solved," Yamazaki asked, "could you please tell us how you plan to do it?"

"Well, I'll tell you." I'm going to go into the cellar and do it, and then take out the key, and when everyone doesn't come out for a long time, I will follow when they come to check, and then help knock the door open, and throw the key in the cellar by the way. With so many guests here, it's hard for the police to suspect me, but I plan to turn myself in to the police after a while. ”

"I see. Yamazaki asked, "But what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to strangle him so he doesn't bleed. The middle-aged man said.

"Your idea is good, but if you do that, you won't be able to get out of this house. Yamazaki laughed.

"Why?" the middle-aged man asked.

"If you want to strangle Mr. Hisaka in the cellar, then you will inevitably have physical contact with Mr. Hishata, and whether Mr. Hinoshita will grab something from you or not, your own clothes will definitely leave wrinkles. Yamazaki smiled, "And every guest's clothes are neat, if only your clothes are wrinkled, then it is self-evident who the murderer is." ”

"This, this ......" the middle-aged man was speechless.

"Alright, you better go and borrow money. Yamazaki patted the middle-aged man and left. ……

Soon after, the backyard.

When Yamazaki returns to the venue, he returns to his seat to find Mori drinking with Shoyoshi Tomura to celebrate his debt discharge, while most of the others are around Sunshita Shenghei and a few are talking separately, so he returns to his seat.

More than half an hour later, Maori was drunk again, and Yamazaki helped Maori to say goodbye, went out to call a taxi, and after getting out of the car, Maori was helped to Maori's house and handed it to Lan before going home. ……

Sunday, January 21, Miyamoto family.

In the afternoon, the Miyamoto couple sat leisurely in the living room drinking tea and watching TV dramas, Yamazaki went to work at the Maori detective agency, and Mei Daiko played video games in the entertainment room, using simulated firearms for Evil Soul Crisis III, this year's New Year's gift.

At nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, the phone rang, and Mimiko Miyamoto answered the phone when she saw that it was Belinda's number, "Call at this time, where are you?"

"Guangmei Washington Hotel. Belinda said, "You go on TV first." ”

"Isn't it a pleasure for you Republicans to be elected president?" Miyamoto asked with a smile, "Why does it sound so unhappy?"

"At the celebration party just now, the one who just sat on the throne informed me that I wanted to make clear about our relationship. Belinda said a little angrily, "It's just the democrats, and now their own people are actually entangled." ”

Olivia said: "This has nothing to do with party affiliation, no matter who sits in that position, they will come to ask, your company is more sensitive, like me, Enoch and Annie, they don't care." The democrats are afraid of forcing you too tightly to arouse the common hatred of the republicans, but the ones of the own faction are different, this is an internal matter, so it is more direct. ”

"I know this truth, but I can't get angry. Belinda said with some anger.

Miyamoto Miko smiled, "You still have that thing, right?" ”

"Show him, how could he believe it?" Belinda asked angrily.

Mimiko Miyamoto smiled: "I don't believe it's his business, but that's the case, as long as you check it, you know that it was written in 1980." ”

"What is it?" Enoch asked.

"Bet on the contract, Miko and we will fight, and if we lose, we will support our cause. Olivia laughed.

"It's as simple as that?" said Anne.

Olivia shrugged, "We didn't expect to end up playing this big. ”

Enoch said, "No wonder you don't say it, no one would believe this thing." ”

Miyamoto Miko said: "That's it, Belinda, you give him that first, if the test results come out, he and the elders of your party believe it, then it's better, if you still don't believe it, then ask him and the elders of your party to come to the hotel and meet me like this, or make an appointment to meet somewhere to meet, let's talk." ”

"Okay, then I'll have someone bring it over. Belinda said, and then said in a cold voice, "If it doesn't work, then it's okay to talk about it, I've cooperated to this extent, and I'm already benevolent, don't blame me for demolishing my own platform when the time comes." ”

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Olivia laughed, "Let's wait until things come to an end." Then he smiled at Miyamoto Miko, "Okay, don't disturb you to live in the world of two, we're going to rest too, and we'll talk about it when we have the results." After saying that, he cut off the picture and hung up the phone at the same time.

"Trouble. Ichiro Miyamoto said.

"No way, who calls Belinda like it?" Mimiko Miyamoto took the TV remote control and turned it back to the TV series, "And I don't want her to start all over again, it will take many years, and time is precious." Then he looked at the time, "Let's make another pot of tea." ”

"Good. Ichiro Miyamoto nodded and said. ……

Saturday, January 27, seven o'clock in the morning, Miyamoto house.

Mimiko Miyamoto received a call from Belinda, "What's going on?" said Yamazaki to turn on the TV and adjust the channel, and Belinda, Olivia, Enoch, and Annie appeared on the TV screen.

Belinda said: "They looked at the test results and asked me to show them the company's documents, I asked them to sign a non-disclosure agreement and showed them, and they saw that the owner of the company was me, and they believed that the relationship between me and you is so simple." ”

"The high level of trust is also considered a good thing for this party. Olivia laughed, "And they asked Belinda to do an assessment." ”

"Assessment?" Miyamoto asked with a smile, "It can't be a psychological evaluation, right?"

Anne smiled: "Yes, it is a psychological assessment about whether the eldest sister is patriotic or not." ”

"This is it. Enoch laughed.

Belinda said: "Although I was asked a headache, I finally passed the test and the problem was solved." ”

"It's good that the problem is solved. Miyamoto Miko smiled, "If there's nothing else to do, let's stop here, you guys go and rest early." After saying that, he turned off the TV and hung up the phone. ……
