Art or survival is a very real question.

The loneliness and acquisition of the medieval art museum is the truest portrayal.

Even Director Ochiai, who is an expert in medieval art, cannot lead his museum to self-financing in this impetuous society, and can only rely on the blood transfusion of the company boss behind him.

But when the company's capital chain broke and declared bankruptcy, no matter how much the boss himself loved and supported it, the museum that the director of Ochiai had struggled for most of his life could only be acquired.

Because it is a very intuitive fact that the museum can only survive if it is sold and replaced by another owner.

Either change the boss and change the brand, or go bankrupt directly.

For Katsumi Uehara, although he was a little surprised by the art museum, he had already done everything he could as a police officer after a brief period of surprise.

If, after tonight's warning, Director Ochiai still decides to commit the murder on his own initiative, there is nothing he can do.

After all, he really has no evidence to close people, and everything that Director Ochiai said is justified, and there is monitoring to prove it.

In Katsumi Uehara's memory, the new owner who bought the art museum should have wanted to reverse himself and transform the art museum, which had been losing money, into a hotel, so he could only try his best to remind the old man that if you really don't want this person to be the boss, then go to a lawyer to invalidate the acquisition contract.

As for who should take over the museum and how to survive after the acquisition contract is invalidated, these are questions that Ochiai, the director of the museum, should think about and solve.

It's hard to have the best of both worlds in the adult world.

As a police officer, Katsumi Uehara can use the excuse to warn him not to kill people is the limit.

"What are you looking at? Not going home tonight? ”

Metropolitan Police Department, search of the office area of the three departments.

Miwako Sato, who was finally busy with the report at hand and was about to get up and go home, saw the student leaning against the window and looking out at the neon night scene outside the window, grabbed the brown-red blazer to her hand, and paced towards him.

The figure with all the thoughts in his eyes turned sideways and shrugged his shoulders noncommittally: "If you agree, I can do it at any time." ”

"I agree?"

Miwako Sato, who hadn't reacted at first, was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head speechlessly in Katsumi Uehara's increasingly wanton evil smile.

"Forget it, it's just a fantasy that someone like you will have emotional problems because of the case." Ben was still worried about whether it was the old man brought back by Katsumi Uehara tonight, who touched the emotions in his heart, Miwako Sato, turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

"That's not what I said, my empathy ability is No. 1 in the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Yes, I can't see it at all, but I can see it in the schadenfreude NO.1."

Glancing at the man who stepped into the elevator with his front and back feet, Miwako Sato pressed the button on the first floor: "My mother will know that you deliberately revealed her on vacation, right?" ”

"That aunt is an elder, and she specially called to care about me, a junior, I can't help but answer." Katsumi Uehara spread his hands, and his tone was very innocent.

"So you asked her to urge me to take a vacation, and then took it upon yourself to buy a plane on the same flight as you to travel abroad?"

Katsumi Uehara's head suddenly shook like a rattle, and his tone was very determined: "No, absolutely not." ”

Miwako Sato turned her face sideways, stared at her student with a sharp gaze like a prisoner, and hummed a voice in her throat: "Huh? ”

"I just accidentally played a few cards by mistake when I was playing mahjong to let my aunt win, and then my aunt asked me about my vacation plan as soon as she was happy.

"I didn't do a good job of language management when I lost money, and I accidentally leaked my travel plan......"

After quietly moving a few steps back without a trace under Miwako Sato's powerful aura, Katsumi Uehara blinked and confessed his criminal plan.

With a straightforward appearance, Miwako Sato held her forehead with one hand, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

She still doesn't know why Katsumi Uehara can still come up with a curvy way to save the country by first pleasing the so-called "future mother-in-law", but her mother still likes this young man who is not only sweet but also good at playing mahjong.

Now it's all right, it's all over the calf.

In the past, her mother urged her to go out on a blind date, saying that she should not squat at home and watch TV as soon as she took a vacation, otherwise she would be lonely and old in the future;

Now it's her mother who says "Uehara-kun will definitely be a good husband in the future" as soon as she is free, and the right sentence "If only I had a son-in-law like Uehara-kun", Miwako Sato rolled her eyes when she heard it.

She felt that her mother most likely had some great misunderstanding about Katsumi Uehara.

"Tell me the truth, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my mother?" The more she thought about it, the more angry Sato's eyes gradually became dangerous, and she pressed Katsumi Uehara who kept retreating step by step until there was no way to retreat.

"I'm a police officer, and I never do anything against the law."

A smile tugged at the corner of the man's mouth as he raised his hands in surrender: "I can swear to God." Besides, the reason why I met your mother was also an accident, and the ghost knew that I went to the mahjong parlor to play mahjong to relax, and I could even meet my aunt. ”

Miwako Sato looked at him without showing weakness: "Do you know that your mouth has not had much credibility in the past year?" ”

"If I'm lying, let me drown."

"Can you find any more outrageous reasons?"

"No, because I'm the champion of the collegiate swimming competition, with a medal."

“……”

Miwako Sato, who was blocked in her throat by this brain circuit that came around for a while, opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

The elevator door on the first floor was just right to "ding", rescuing the short-haired police flower who was stuck in his thinking.

"Anyway, don't tell my mom about your mess in the future."

"I've never said anything messy, and when my aunt played mahjong with me, she just talked about some parents' shortcomings, such as comparing the children with the other two aunts.

"Speaking of this Sato, I really didn't expect your country to be so cool."

After stepping out of the elevator, Katsumi Uehara, who turned on the offensive, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "It's just cool, I really want to be impressed by you." ”

“……？？？？！！！！！”

For a while, Miwako Sato, who was like being hit by five thunderbolts, suddenly widened her eyes: "What? Wait a minute! You make it clear for me! ”

"It's too late, it's half past twelve, I'm going home in a hurry."

"Hey! Uehara! ”

"See you tomorrow, Sato-senpai."

Under the clear moonlight, the man with a suit in his hand turned his head with a wicked smile, and made a gesture to Miwako Sato, who had caught up, and jumped into his pink EVO with the window closed.

The tires kicked up the snow, the roaring engine was accompanied by the ensemble of exhaust pipes, and a few dead leaves were noisy.
