After Ooka Kiyosaku invited Takato and the others to lunch, Ayukawa Tatsuya took his leave first, leaving only Takato and Ooka Momiji still here, and at this point, Ooka Kiyosaku finally began to answer Takato's question.

"Asami Taro. It's been a long time since I've heard that name. ”

Ooka Kiyosaku said with a slight abruptness, "I really didn't expect that the question you asked me would be this, Wise Detective. ”

It seems to be a question of high reach, which evokes the memories of this old man, Ooka Kiyosaku said with great emotion.

"Taro Asami, he is a particularly impressive student that I have been teaching for so many years, and even after more than 20 years, it is still fresh in people's memories."

"So, Professor Ooka, do you know where Asamitaro is now?"

Gao Yuan asked again with some apprehension.

It's a pity, Ooka Kiyosaku shook his head.

"No, where did Asami Taro go, whether he was alive or dead, I don't know very well."

"If I have to say, I haven't heard about him for more than ten years, since that lab fire. ”

"A fire in the lab?"

Hearing this, Takato noticed a lot of details revealed in Ooka Kiyosaku's words - more than ten years ago, the fire in the laboratory, which shows that Ooka Kiyosaku knows where Asami Taro went after graduation.

"That's right."

Asamitaro said with some regret, "About sixteen years ago, there was a fire in the pharmaceutical laboratory where Asami worked, and since then, I haven't heard anything about Asami. ”

"In other words, after Asamitaro graduated, you still have a connection with him, right?"

Takato asked.

"That's right."

Ooka Kiyosaku said with some regret, "He is my most proud student, and when he was a graduate student at Todo Medical University, he showed an extraordinary talent in pharmacy, and it can be said that with his ability, he can enter a pharmaceutical laboratory with better conditions to take up a position, so after I heard that he chose to join the Karasuma Group after graduation, I have been persuading him to consider it and show his talent on a better stage." ”

Karasuma Group?

It's a surprise to hear this name in such a place!

Takato couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but the fact that Asamitaro may have something to do with the organization is not unexpected. But it's just these news, for Gao Yuan, he still can't clarify his thoughts.

"By the way, Professor Ooka, do you know that more than 20 years ago, Asamitaro had a good friend of the opposite sex?"

Gao Yuan thought about it, and still asked tentatively.

"What do you say...... It seems to be one. ”

Kiyosaku Ooka recalled, "Asami was very popular at school, and there were many female students who had a good impression of him, but he never had any intimate relationship with any female student. Until that day, I saw a young woman from outside the school, and I had a close conversation with Asami for a long time. I remember it was already big night......"

One night more than 20 years ago, in the experimental building of Dongdu Medical University-

Ooka Kiyosaku has just completed an experiment, he is exhausted, and he looked at the time of his watch, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, Ooka Kiyosaku was already over fifty years old, such a time-consuming experiment, he should not have done it himself, but because his proud disciple Asami Taro suddenly left in the middle of the experiment, in desperation, Ooka Kiyosaku could only do it himself.

Now that the main experiment is over, the rest is for the students to keep staring at the data in the lab. Looking at the sky at such a late hour, Ooka Kiyosaku just wanted to go back and rest quickly, after all, there was still an academic conference to attend tomorrow morning.

However, after leaving the laboratory and walking in the experimental building, Kiyosaku Ooka suddenly heard the sound of someone talking at the corner of a staircase not far away. And listening to the voice, one of them seems to be none other than Taro Asami, who left in the middle of the experiment.

I thought there was something wrong with Asamitaro leaving halfway, but I didn't expect others to stay in the experimental building, so why didn't he come back early to continue the experiment?

Thinking like this, Ooka Kiyosaku was a little annoyed, so he walked in the direction where the voice came from, and Ooka Kiyosaku wanted to see what his proud protégé was doing.

"Louis, don't embarrass me!"

As soon as he leaned over, Kiyosaku Ooka heard this sentence from Taro Asami.

"But! cointreau！ I don't have anyone to rely on now but you! ”

At this moment, a woman's voice sounded, with a hint of choked voice.

And at this point, Ooka Kiyosaku had also walked to the staircase, where the two people could be seen, and saw that at the corner of the staircase with dim lighting, his student Asami Taro was pressing his hands on the shoulders of a beautiful woman about twenty years old, and the woman's face still had a trace of tears.

But at this time, Asami Taro and this woman also naturally discovered the appearance of Ooka Kiyosaku.

"Teacher!"

Seeing Ooka Kiyosaku, Asami Taro retracted his hand and said so. The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then seemed to leave a little shyly.

"That's ......"

She ...... It's my girlfriend. ”

Faced with Ooka Kiyosaku's questioning, Asami Taro replied with some apprehension.

Hearing this, Ooka Kiyosaku was a little surprised, "Quarreled? ”

"Well...... Pretty much. ”

I'm a little embarrassed,Asami Taro said.。

In this regard, Ooka Kiyosaku didn't want to say anything, and I wanted to talk to him as an elder, but after all, I was tired, and in the face of the emotional entanglement of young people, it was really not good to accuse anything at will, so Ooka Kiyosaku only mentioned that Asamitaro should not forget his experimental topic, and left.

"Louis? That girlfriend of Taro Asami, is she a foreigner? ”

After listening to Ooka Kiyosaku's narration, Takato asked with a little surprise.

"It's not."

Kiyosaku Ooka said, "This should just be a nickname between couples. That's what Asami told me later. ”

Then, as if a little stunned, Ooka Kiyosaku said:

"But it's a pity that the person I married later was not the woman I saw that day."

But Takato is already a little absent-minded - Louis? It does sound like a person's name. But was the strangely pronounced word that Louis said, which sounded like "box", really a nickname for lovers?

"Wise Detective, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

Ooka Kiyosaku asked looking at Takato's expression at the moment.

"No...... Without. I'm really sorry for you this time, Professor Ooka. ”

Gao Yuan came back to his senses and said.

Then, after a brief stay at Ooka Kiyosaku's mansion, Takato left with Ooka Momiji.

Sitting in the car, Gao Yuan began to take out his mobile phone, ready to search for some content, but how to spell the word that sounded like "box"? Of course, it may also be a problem with Ooka Kiyosaku's English pronunciation. So, Gao Yuan had to give up the search first.

However, Taro Asami, after graduation, went to the Karasuma Group, this point of view, this person should be inseparable from the organization, so in this way, the person who Hanada Kochi might have gone to find back then was him, so the whole thing is a little intriguing!

"By the way, Mr. Wise, please take this."

At this time, Ooka Momiji took out a check and handed it to Takato.

"This is what my uncle asked me to pass on to you, because yesterday's rescue of me, and today's matter, my father and my uncle discussed it, and still feel that we can't say nothing, so I must ask you to accept it!"

In this regard, Gao Yuan took the check with some trepidation, looked at the amount of 30 million written on it, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suppressed the joy in his heart.

"The challenge has been completed, and the settlement of Stage 3 has begun."

And that's when the checkout panel came in!

In a high-rise condominium in New York, USA -

A blonde girl in a pink sundress pajamas was packing her belongings in the bedroom. But it seems that because there are too many clothes, the girl looks at the clothes that cover the bed, and then at the retractor suitcase on the side, and can't help but fall into a dilemma.

However, just when the girl was constantly struggling, a phone rang, interrupting the girl's thoughts.

Barefoot, a little lazy out of the bedroom, let a suspender of the pajama slip off the shoulder, came to the mobile phone on the living room table, looked at the caller ID of the unknown number, the girl picked up the phone a little impatiently.

Louis ...... I heard, you're coming back? ”

As soon as he picked up the phone, an old male voice rang from the other end of the phone. And hearing this voice, the girl showed a wicked smile:

"It's you, Camus. Why, are you still alive? ”
