It's all so coincidental?

Seeing the casually dressed middle-aged lawyer in front of him with a surprised look, Katsumi Uehara's brows subconsciously furrowed, and his eyes immediately swept over the rest of the relevant people he knew in the death case of Kunihiko Kagawa.

His intuition told him that there should be no such coincidence in this world.

"I guess I'm asking you, Lawyer Izaka? Three years ago, I don't remember you still having a passion for football. ”

With his eyes narrowing slightly, Katsumi Uehara raised his hand and put it on the shoulder of the middle-aged lawyer who was about 1.75 meters, and said with a professional smirk: "If I throw a football to you now, I'm afraid I don't even know how to play football, right?" ”

"Not every football fan has ever played football, Officer Uehara."

Pushing the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, the lawyer named Tamanosuke Isaka chuckled with an unchanged face, and said slowly: "I just like the feeling of a football coach planning tactics and coordinating everything on the sidelines."

'Arsène Wenger's philosophy of football is exactly what fits my personal aesthetic and now that he is rumoured to leave Japan for Arsenal in England at the end of the season, I naturally want to take advantage of this last opportunity.

“…… Is it? Uehara Katsumi, who heard this, was noncommittal.

'Of course, although in the Premier League I prefer Ferguson's Manchester United.

When he said this, Isaka Tamanosuke turned around quite curiously and looked at the few people behind him who had intersected with him because of the death of Kunihiko Kawa three years ago: "Speaking of which, I also think it may be a little boring.

"Are you really fans?"

", I like Bayern Munich." A retired police officer pouted disdainfully: "You also deserve to like Manchester United?" ”

"I love AC Milan." The former judge glanced at a few people, touched the sparse hair on the top of his head, and said proudly.

Immediately after him, those who like Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, and Real Madrid all expressed their favorite teams.

The top people are middle-aged, and their eyes light up when they talk about football.

Katsumi Uehara, who had listened to it all, still didn't believe it.

As a police officer, his instinct told him that this group of people had not seen each other for three years, but now they suddenly got together, and someone was definitely planning something.

Isaka Tamanosuke happily came up and said, "What about you, Officer Uehara, which team do you like?" ”

"Me? I don't have a particular favorite team. If I have to say, I like Arsène Wenger's team. I love his philosophy of beautiful football, even if it's a very demanding style of play. ”

As Katsumi Uehara was talking, the hero of his words walked into the venue of the meeting under the leadership of the organizers.

Wenger's temperament, which has not yet turned gray, looks suave, and he looks like a knowledgeable university professor with a pair of glasses. After taking a seat, he greeted everyone present in his stress-free Japanese, which he had learned to use daily.

"Welcome, I hope you have a great football meeting here, I'm Arsène Wenger."

After the usual meeting, group photo and autograph, Arsène Wenger began the main event that Katsumi Uehara was looking forward to: the exchange of football tactics.

It was the moment Katsumi Uehara wanted to remember the most, as he had a long conversation with his idol in the football world.

Wenger was also surprised: "Uehara-kun, your understanding of football tactics is really beyond my expectations, and there are some concepts that I have never thought of, it is hard to believe that you are actually a police officer." ”

"I did participate in youth training when I was studying, but I had a serious heel injury, and the doctor said that I would not be able to play football for a long time after recovery." Katsumi Uehara smiled and briefly explained what happened in the past.

Arsene Wenger felt sorry for the talent.

After some exchanges, Katsumi Uehara, who had reached the wish of meeting his idol and talking about football tactics, was directly satisfied.

This trip was not in vain.

In a good mood, even the seven people who took Izaka Tamanosuke were a little more pleasing to the eye.

Since the ticket was a villa option, when night fell, Katsumi Uehara was taken to a vacation house sponsored by the Suzuki Foundation by the organizers after today's meeting.

Tomorrow morning, they will be picked up by a Suzuki consortium to leave their villas and head to the club to interact with the football superstars.

And there are 10 people who have the same treatment as him.

It's just that Katsumi Uehara cares about is that the seven "acquaintances", including Izaka Tamanosuke, have all entered the final holiday villa welfare link, and the other three are passers-by he doesn't know.

Ibaka Tamanosuke was obviously aware of this, and his eyes subconsciously looked at each other a few times, and then collided with Katsumi Uehara's gaze.

"Doesn't seem right, Officer Uehara, you arranged it on purpose?"

With a wary look on his face, Isaka Tamanosuke took a step before Katsumi Uehara and said, "Judging from the kindness you once gave to the eldest lady of the Suzuki Foundation, it shouldn't be a problem to let them do a favor. ”

"Coincidentally, that's what I want to ask."

Katsumi Uehara, who noticed that the eyes of several people had changed, sneered: "I'm really starting to wonder what this is going on now." ”

A holiday villa deep in the mountains, a three-day, two-night vacation, only a suspension bridge connecting the road to the outside world, and gloomy weather that can rain at any time.

Just by moving in, Katsumi Uehara already smelled a hint of murder.

"There is a chef in the villa to serve you food, and after choosing a room, you can go to the restaurant and order your own food." The polite staff explained, since he entered the villa, Katsumi Uehara has been looking around without saying a word, and from time to time he took out his mobile phone-

The signal is there, which means that you can communicate with the outside world.

The three passers-by who didn't know why happily went up to the second and third floors to choose a room, leaving only the seven people who had been involved in the kidnapping and murder of Kunihiko Kazukawa's sister remained in the living room, with different faces and ...... each other Secretly on the lookout?

"Okay, I'll make a statement first, I'll quit early tomorrow morning, and I won't want the money to buy tickets."

Isaka Yuyuki pushed his glasses and took the lead in speaking: "This thing is too weird and deliberate, I think there is a high probability that someone is manipulating it behind the scenes." I'll quit early tomorrow morning, I won't be playing, and I wish you all a good time. ”

While saying this, his eyes have been staring at Katsumi Uehara, who is sitting on the sofa with Jiro's legs crossed and silent, and the meaning is self-evident.

Bang!

Under the gloomy sky, thunder roared suddenly!

The galloping lightning instantly lit up the dim skyline, and Katsumi Uehara, who had his back to the living room window, snapped his knuckles, and swept past the seven people in front of him with a slightly scrutinizing gaze in the sound of the torrential rain:

"Izaka, if you don't want to play, why don't you just quit before? When you come to the villa, you will pretend to leave early tomorrow morning? Don't you think it's strange and unreasonable? ”

ps: Came out of the mountains......

After drilling with Party A for nearly two weeks, it is outrageous.

I didn't go back to this eleven, Gan......
