073, illegitimate child

"His death? What the hell is going on? Eko Yamamoto asked.

"The noble man is serious, indifferent, and even treats his family rarely with a smiling face, I am more rebellious and naughty, I don't care about his stinky face, always pestering him to play, come and go, and become the closest person to him in this family, even if I break into his study, I will not be stopped by the servants."

Eko Yamamoto smiled with her, she had heard her father talk about it with jealousy.

"Just the day before he died, after school, I broke into his study, he was eating a big bite, when I went in, he had already drunk a pot of soup, ate a dozen rice balls, he gobbled up not at all like his usual style, he always only ate five points full, the whole person is lean and lean."

"Huh?" Eko Yamamoto screamed in confusion.

"When he saw me coming in, he played with me for a while, and then he told the nanny to take me away, and that night he was admitted to the hospital, and the next day it was just dawn, and my nanny woke me up crying, saying that my grandfather had died."

This is clearly suicide. Eko Yamamoto looked at Aunt Hitomi in disbelief.

"I think you've guessed that," Hitomi continued expressionlessly, "He committed suicide at all, and then I got the diary, and when I grew up to a certain age and accumulated a certain amount of experience and knowledge, I slowly read some of the contents and discovered the deal, and those people were pestering him, just a few days before Guiwen's death, those people looked for him again." ”

Hitomiko pauses and motions for Eko to flip through the pages mentioned.

Eko skimmed through it roughly, and the content was the same as what Aunt Hitomi's aunt said.

"It's amazing that my aunt can deduce this from this diary."

"If I hadn't seen his abnormal eating at the beginning, I wouldn't have been haunted by his death, and I wouldn't have discovered this."

"Oh." Eko answered, handing the diary back to Hitomi.

"From now on, I'll keep it for you."

"Why?"

"This diary looks thick, but it's too short for the rest of his life, and as you must have noticed, he's not a mechanical one that writes a paragraph every day, sometimes months between the two diaries are separated."

"He's documenting important things."

"Yes for him, but there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and some of the content seems strange, but I really don't see any clues, maybe if you were to change it, you could have seen more useful information."

"Understood."

Eko thought about it for a moment and finally made up her mind to accept this special gift. I didn't expect it all to go so smoothly.

"Be sure to keep it secret, it's not just about your personal life and death, but also about the survival of the Yamamoto family."

Eko Yamamoto promised duplicitously, what would she do even if she got this diary herself? At the very least, you have to discuss it with Kigoro.

Hitomiko's confession made Yamamoto Teiko relax a little, and casually asked about the Red Moon Blade: "Auntie, do you know about the Red Moon Blade?" ”

"You want to ask about the whereabouts of the Red Moon Blade, it was left to your father as a family heirloom, and your brother lost it when your grandfather was still alive and you were not yet born."

"Didn't Dad give a reasonable explanation for such an important thing?"

"No, your father is a very well-behaved and sensible person, but once he is stubborn, no one in the family can do anything about him, we can only choose to believe him, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"That day, I saw the Red Moon Blade, although all I saw before were photos, but that knife was so special, I think it was the Red Moon Blade."

"Oh? When? Hitomi Yamamoto asked with interest.

"On the morning of the attack, I said something at the shareholders' meeting, saying that someone saved me, but I didn't explain it to everyone, in fact, the person who saved me used the Red Moon Blade."

"The one who saved you?" Hitomi Yamamoto looked very surprised and puzzled, "What does it look like?" ”

"I didn't see it, he kept covering his face with his hat."

"Are people burly?" Hitomi Yamamoto said eagerly.

Eko shook her head and said, "It's also medium-sized, thin." ”

"Oh-" Hitomi Yamamoto let out a sigh, "Who could it be, what did your dad say?" ”

"He didn't say anything."

"Hey, it's all this time, and you don't say anything, are all the men of the Yamamoto family going to become secret keepers?"

"Maybe he forgot, he looks like he's remembering something, but he just has a headache and doesn't think about it anymore."

"Forget it, he really doesn't want to force him to do anything like this, but, Eko, you have to be mentally prepared."

"What? About what? ”

"That person, the person who used the Red Moon Blade, although he has saved you now, may not be safe."

"What? What do you mean? Does my aunt know who that person is? ”

"It's just a guess that your father lost the red moon, and although he couldn't force an answer, your grandfather didn't just give up, so he sent someone to China."

"To China? What does this have to do with China? "Eko is even weirder.

"Your father, he finished college in China, and at that time, he took the Red Moon Blade to China, and it was at that time that he lost it."

"Found?"

"No, but there are other gains."

"Hey, auntie, just say it, you've been selling off." Teko urged.

"This matter can also be regarded as one of the secrets of the Yamamoto family, after all, the Yamamoto family has always existed as a right-wing, and some political and business relations depend on some right-wing forces."

"The more I listen, the more confused I become, auntie, what's going on?" Eko asked impatiently.

"Your father had a relationship in China, and the other party was a Chinese girl."

"And then?" Eko asked.

"That's all we found, after we got the news, your grandfather forced him to give up that relationship and return to China quickly, your father obeyed Grandpa's order, but lost the red moon."

"But thisβ€”"

"Haha, we guess your father left the red moon to his lover as a token."

"My aunt can still laugh."

"It's just a knife, I've always felt that he's too dull and dull, everything follows the rules, he's willing to do a big rebellious thing for a woman, as a sister, but also as a woman, I'm naturally happy for him."

"Poof-" Eko was amused by Hitomi, and teased, "Auntie is still happy, if Dad can be as rebellious as my aunt and elope with that woman, wouldn't there be no me in this world." ”

"What? Angry with your father? ”

"How could it be, it's just a love affair from my father's youth."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, he can leave the Red Moon Blade to that woman, it's likely that she is pregnant with his child."

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Aunt Hitomi would say such a thing, and Eko exclaimed, "Aunt is saying that my father has an illegitimate child?" ”
