"Please, I beg you. I can give you whatever you want, don't expose it, don't expose it, okay? I beg you. ”

Rice flower town, a certain household is built.

A lawyer in a suit fell to his knees in front of a man in a ghostly mask, pleading with tears in his eyes.

"Oh? Did you figure it out so quickly? Lawyer Izaka. ”

The man wearing the demon mask was about to leave, but after hearing the words, he couldn't help but stop, stopped and looked back, and there was a bit of playfulness in his voice.

The male lawyer with a big back had a messy collar and looked to be in his forties, looking a little embarrassed, and his glasses on the bridge of his nose had been shattered.

And after hearing the ghost masked man's rhetorical question, the lawyer nodded hurriedly, looked up at him and said very quickly: "Yes yes, I changed my mind, I changed my mind." I can satisfy you whatever you want, you can do whatever you want. ”

"And what if I want you to help me kill someone?"

“……？？？”

Unexpectedly, the male lawyer who could still hear the word "murder" suddenly froze, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a long time.

"What? Hesitant? Wasn't he an accomplice to a murderer when he was a prosecutor three years ago? ”

"Three years ago?"

The puzzled male lawyer muttered for a moment, and then as if he thought of something, his pupils contracted suddenly: "Are you?!" ”

Kunihiko Kagawa reached out and took off the demon mask that was placed on his face, revealing his face with many scars. Slowly squatting down while pressing one hand on his head, a wicked smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "Long time no see, Inspector Isaka."

"Oh no, I should call you Lawyer Isaka right now."

"And Kunihiko Kagawa? You are Kunihiko Kagawa! ”

The memory of recovery made Isaka recognize the man in front of him for the first time, and it suddenly dawned on him, and then he frantically argued: "Kunihiko Kagawa, you believe me, you believe me, I really really wanted to help you three years ago."

"I explained this to you and Katsumi Uehara back then, didn't you also confirm that it was just an accident after investigating at the time?

"I really didn't deliberately lose the key evidence, and I was stunned at the time. I've done my best, and haven't those robbers been sentenced to twelve years for my efforts? ”

Kunihiko Kazukawa nodded and grinned, "yes, but I don't recognize it now."

"Unless you help me kill someone. Otherwise, I will expose your shady past, and destroy everything you have worked so hard to accumulate.

"Then, kill you again."

“…… You've said that, how do I know you're going to keep your promises? Lawyer Isaka swallowed and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"You don't have a choice. Remember, I'm not giving you multiple-choice questions, you don't have a chance to bargain in front of me. ”

Kunihiko Kagawa pinched his jaw disdainfully: "Of course, you can record my threat to you as a guarantee, and then find a place or someone to keep it."

"That way, you have my handle, I have your handle, and your family can be safe and sound, and everyone will be happy, won't they?"

“…… Who are you going to kill? ”

"Three days later, I want you to kill him in front of Katsumi Uehara."

Kunihiko Kazukawa, who took out a photo from his jacket pocket, pointed to the bald head on the photo and said in a commanding tone, "I will teach you how to do it by hand." Rest assured, Katsumi Uehara won't find out about you. ”

Bang!!!

Late-night lightning lit up the night sky, dappled and reflected on the faces of the two people in the room.

…………………………………………………………

"It's going to rain."

Katsumi Uehara's house, next to the balcony floor-to-ceiling windows.

Katsumi Uehara, leaning against the glass, looked up at the dark night sky with no stars in sight, and deliberately increased the intensity of his chanting.

Behind him, Miwako Sato, who was eating fruit in the living room, was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled and spit out the grape seeds in her mouth: "What, do you still have clothes that you haven't collected?" ”

"That's not it, I mean, it's so lightning and thunder outside, I don't feel at ease when you drive home alone."

Katsumi Uehara, who came to his girlfriend's side in a flash, put his arms around her shoulders with a smile: "I drank a lot of alcohol tonight, so I can't drive you." Why don't you be in me-"

Before the words fell, Miwako Sato had already fed the grapes in her hand into his mouth, blocked his unfinished words, and smiled sideways: "Compared to this, I think you are still worried about your three-day and two-night trip to the fan villa."

"In this kind of weather, I can't say what outdoor football activities will be launched for you at that time, right?"

"Anyway, I'm not going to play football outside. The villa was just a by-product of the tactical exchange and all I cared about was meeting and talking to Arsene Wenger on the first day. ”

Katsumi Uehara, who was chewing the flesh of the grapes, didn't care about it.

"Well, have fun, then. It's almost time, and it's time for me to go home. ”

Miwako Sato, who glanced at the time, pointed at the man's cheeks that were agitated by chewing with the index finger of her right hand: "Then, good night, Katsumi." ”

"What should I do if I am uneasy at night, I am worried that you will be swept away by the rain in a heavy rainstorm while driving."

"Have you forgotten that my drag racing skills are better than yours?"

“……”

Katsumi Uehara, who had spit out the grape seeds, opened his mouth and stopped talking.

It's really irrefutable.

More than ten minutes later, the red Mazda drove out of the parking lot of the Katsumi community in Uehara, and the torrential rain that had been brewing for a long time in the night sky also poured down in due time-

Miwako Sato, who had turned on the windshield wipers, looked at herself reflected on the windshield in front of the car and hummed a little song happily.

Two days later.

When he rushed to participate in this football tactics exchange meeting called the invitation letter, which was actually a fan meeting organized by Wenger and other football coaches under the arrangement of their respective clubs, at the venue, he was surprised to find that some of the people who came here today were actually people he knew?

Moreover, all the channels he knew about these people came from the case of the kidnapping and murder of Kunihiko Kawa three years ago.

There were people on the jury at the time, prosecutors at the time, lawyers, judges, and even three retired police officers.

"Ibaka Tamanosuke, what are you doing...... Engaging in team building? ”

Katsumi Uehara, who felt strange in his heart, greeted him and found the lawyer Isaka, who was vaguely the leader among the others.

"Officer Uehara? Why are you here? ”

The male lawyer named Izaka Tamanosuke immediately showed a look of surprise on his face when he saw Katsumi Uehara: "What's the situation, do you all like football?" Such a coincidence? ”

ps: Ahem, it's a little late, and I came back from a business trip and fell asleep......

In addition to eating and sleeping, I spent it in bed...... It's the same as taking sleeping pills, but I'm still too tired
