384 The position of the head of the family
In the meeting room of Takahashi Annex, many core members are holding a family meeting.
The theme of the family meeting was mainly to choose the future head of the Takahashi family.
Shirakawa, Takahashi Yuran, and Takahashi Kenichi became candidates for succession.
Shirakawa, who was originally completely uninterested in the head of the Takahashi family, suddenly popped up a task panel in front of him.

[Advanced Identification Technique: Identification of the true information of the target, including living and non-living organisms.] 】
Shirakawa's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that the reward for this task would be an advanced appraisal technique!
Just seeing this reward, he was a little moved.
But being the head of the house is indeed a very troublesome thing, which means losing some of your freedom.
It was a difficult road to bring the Takahashi family back to glory.
The rule of silence in the island society is that one person commits a crime and the whole family.
This is not a connection in the real sense, but a connection in spirituality, life, and social relations.
If one member of the family commits a crime, the others will be despised and alienated by those around them, and some will even lose their jobs and be dismissed by their former employers for various reasons.
The society will not accept the family members of criminals.
Before Takahashi Kita's autobiography was released and Takahashi Nagakei was investigated, it was already very difficult to revive the former glory of the Takahashi family, and now it will only be even more difficult.
Even Takahashi Yulan has gained the support of many people on the Internet, thinking that she is an upright, kind, brave and righteous woman.
But there are still many people who are abusing the Takahashi family and Takahashi Yulan.
If Shirakawa admits that he is the heir of the Takahashi family, perhaps the benefits have not been obtained, and he will be attacked by Internet sunspots.
Even the name of the strongest college student detective will disappear.
Of course, Shirakawa didn't care about these false names.
He was just thinking about how to rebuild the glory of the Takahashi family with such a social system.
Whitewashing Takahashi North and Takahashi Nagajing can save the reputation of the Takahashi family to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can also break up all the popularity and support that Takahashi Yulan has gained, making her the target of a new round of cyberbullying and losing her heir qualifications.
But this is not in line with Shirakawa's character, and Shirakawa is not the kind of person who will whitewash murderers for the sake of his goals.
In the midst of Shirakawa's thoughts, Kozaburo Takahashi coughed twice and said,
"Give each of the three of you five minutes to say why we want us to support you."
This kind of impromptu speech is logically a process.
In private, Takahashi Yulan and competitor Takahashi Kenichi have actually reached a secret deal with the clan elders a long time ago, and whoever supports them knows who they are, and there are only a few two or three centrists, and they still need to play on the spot.
But now it's different, with one more person on board, and new variables appear.
That's why it's necessary to give an impromptu speech.
First started by Ken Takahashi, the oldest of the three.
"Clan elders, elders, I'm sitting here today, in fact, it's not for the position of the head of the family, it doesn't matter to me whether I am the head of the family or not, I just hope that the Takahashi family can prosper and continue the glory of the nobility, so I can't allow a woman like Takahashi Yulan to destroy the family's reputation and step on the corpse of the clan to be the head of the Takahashi family, and in the same way, I can't allow other people who cause the reputation of the Takahashi family to plummet......
"Over the years, the people of the family have been content with pleasure and have long ceased to be united, and if it continues like this, the Takahashi family will sooner or later become history and become an unpopular family......"
"After I was elected head of the family, the first thing I did was to whitewash Grandpa North and Uncle Changjing."
Speaking of this, Kenichi Takahashi glanced at Yuran Takahashi deeply.
His actions meant that he needed to push Yuran Takahashi into the fire pit.
However, Takahashi Yulan behaved very calmly, she didn't think that Takahashi Kenichi could do it, unless the honest Takahashi Taketo could help him, but this also meant that Takahashi Taketo lost his entire career, and the risk was very huge.
Yulan Takahashi believes that Takahashi's illegitimate son, who has been climbing to the position of director on his own, will not do this for the family.
Moreover, Takahashi is a very principled person.
When the clan elders heard Kenichi Takahashi's words, their eyes lit up.
"What are you going to do?"
Takahashi Takeken asked, he was Takahashi Kenichi's own grandfather, and it was natural that he would support his grandson.
Kenichi Takahashi said slowly,
"First of all, it is to whitewash the reputation of Grandpa Bei, as the head of the previous Takahashi family, his reputation is directly related to the honor of the bloodline of the entire family head, if it is not solved from the root, in the future, the children of our Takahashi family will be scolded as the bloodline of the devil, and the children will be labeled with various labels, not only lose the preferential treatment of the nobles, but also may suffer discrimination on campus, which is not good for the whole family."
The middle-aged people who participated in the family meeting nodded their heads repeatedly, and they agreed with Takahashi's statement that such a phenomenon had already arisen and could not be allowed to continue to develop.
"Grandpa North once offended a lot of people in business, I found a person who died because of Grandpa North, his name was Takeo Shiratori, and he began to write after bankruptcy, but unfortunately he was also nameless, just a third-rate writer, who died of illness at a young age of 20, leaving only one son, Shiratori Dalang, who is 42 years old this year and still has nothing to do, the year before last because of the company's layoffs, he was laid off and became a homeless man, we just need to give him a sum of money and let him admit that Grandpa Bei's autobiography was not written by Grandpa Bei, It was written by his father because he hated the Takahashi family. ”
The clan elders glanced at each other and nodded slightly, indicating that his plan was feasible.
They already like Kenichi Takahashi as a boy, and they have a better impression of him at the moment.
Yulan Takahashi still maintained a calm expression.
Because she had already sent someone to control Shiratori Dairo, even if she wanted to carry out this plan, she had to do it.
This is not only for the sake of the family, but also for self-preservation.
She has established a strong image of a kind, honest and courageous woman in the hearts of the public.
confessed as soon as he knew his grandfather's fault, apologized to the public, and won a wave of favor, but in private, he was secretly investigating, hoping to clear his grandfather's incriminating evidence, which is also acceptable to the public and proves that she is a loving and righteous person.
When the time comes, she will apologize to the public again, and the public will definitely believe the truth of this matter.
The whitewashing of Takahashi Kita was successfully completed.
Only by overthrowing oneself can one be reborn, and one's prestige will be further improved.
When others overthrow themselves, they will only make themselves irreversible.
Yuran Takahashi will not give Kenichi Takahashi a chance to step on her position.
"Of course, this will also require the help of Uncle Pleasant."
Takahashi Kenkai looked at Takahashi pleasantly.
Takahashi said with a serious face,
"I only look at the evidence, and I don't think I've heard what I said just now."
This already shows his attitude.
Takahashi Ken nodded, "Even if Uncle Cheap Man is unwilling to help, it doesn't matter, let's unite with other media to promote this matter." ”
"What about Changjing? The influence of the artist's collage pattern is too great. ”
Takahashi asked.
"This matter requires us to find new evidence to prove that the puzzle was indeed done by the one who was locked up in prison, and not by Uncle Changjing."
Kenichi Takahashi said.
In fact, the new evidence he is talking about is falsifying evidence.
"What about the rest of Takahashi's family members who are in prison?"
Katsutaro Takahashi asked.
"Of course, we must all be rescued, or the relationship must be cleared, in short, we must not have criminals in the Takahashi family, this must be clear."
Kenichi Takahashi said and looked at Shirakawa,
"Mr. Detective, when the time comes, you may need to admit your own mistakes, you didn't know that you were a member of the Takahashi family, I can understand your righteous psychology for the time being, now that you have returned to your family, please make some contributions to the family."
Takahashi Yulan frowned slightly, Takahashi Kenichi's move was ruthless enough.
If things really go the way he arranged them, then both she and Shirakawa will be victims.
Her sacrifice will be greater than that of Kuraki Shirakawa.
Maybe Takahashi Kento has found someone to forge his notes, write a suicide note for himself, and then force himself to commit suicide.
The death of one person, plus the loss of the reputation of another, changes the prosperity of an entire family.
The ultimate beneficiary is Kento Takahashi.
Yuran Takahashi realizes that she had underestimated Kento Takahashi before.
It's a pity that Takahashi Kento didn't expect that he had already controlled the son of the family.
Just when the clan elders all showed approving expressions, Takahashi Yuran suddenly asked,
"Is there really such a person as Takeo Shiratori? Or are you making it up? ”
"Of course there is."
Kento Takahashi knew that Yuran Takahashi was going to be in trouble, but he was very confident.
"Where is Shiratori Goro now? If it's true, you should take him to the clan elders to see, otherwise it is unrealistic to want everyone to believe in you and take risks with you just by your mouth.
"The reputation of the family has been partially redeemed by me, if you use a person who does not exist to cover up this matter, it will be self-defeating, causing our family to completely lose credibility in society, even if I can't make others continue to trust."
Yulan Takahashi said slowly.
"Heh, I knew you would say that, Shiratori Dalang, I have already asked someone to find him, come here, bring Shiratori Darou up."
Kenichi Takahashi commanded.
Soon, a servant in a black suit stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, and he glared angrily at Yuran Takahashi,
"It's you, you sent someone to kidnap Shiratori Dairo!"
"Don't wronged me, tell the evidence in everything."
The corners of Takahashi Yulan's mouth rose slightly.
Takahashi Kenkai looked at Takahashi Takeken, who was sitting at the top, and sought the protection of his grandfather.
Takahashi Takeken looked at Takahashi Yulan seriously,
"Youlan, this matter is related to the honor of our entire Takahashi family, have you hidden people?"
The other family elders also looked at Takahashi Yuran.
Takahashi Yulan stood up, bowed to the many clan elders, and said slowly,
"I can do what Kenichi can do, and I can do what Kenichi can't. If this is left to me, the prestige of the Takahashi family will be higher than before, and what I say will be more convincing than Kenichi. ”
"Yulan Takahashi, why do you say that?"
Kenichi Takahashi looked at Yuran Takahashi angrily.
Yulan Takahashi said calmly, "Just by virtue of the image I have established in the public mind, with the fact that I have a fan base of 30 million, and you have nothing." ”
"Do you think it makes sense for your family to become an influencer? You're just contemptuous and complacent. ”
Kenichi Takahashi scolded angrily.
"It seems that you are still living in the illusions of the old times, you don't see the direction of the world's development clearly, you don't understand how strong the appeal of my words is, the Takahashi family wants to rise, only by making me the head of the family and the spokesperson, can there be hope, I can bring new business value to the family......"
"Only by handing over the salt pans of Hokkaido and Shikoku Island to me can we create greater economic benefits......"
Takahashi Yulan took out a plan and told his business plan to many clan elders.
Most of the attendees were overwhelmed by her intelligence, believing that her plan would indeed bring the Takahashi family's declining economy to a peak.
Even Takahashi Yiren was impressed by her.
If she had come up with this plan earlier, maybe Takahashi would not have gone to Shirakawa.
Of course, Takahashi Yuren still prefers Shirakawa, Takahashi Yuran, this woman is too ruthless, and the honor of the entire family is discarded, which made her a Takahashi Yuran.
Kenichi Takahashi clenched his fists, threw the plan aside, and said sneeringly,
"How can money compare to our honor?"
"Hehe, have you ever thought that if you have become a homeless person on the street, will you still care about honor or not? The decline of any aristocratic family is inseparable from the economy, and if we still have the assets as strong as the Kamidai family, we will not fall. ”
Yulan Takahashi sneered.
Bang bang –
The white-haired, 90-year-old Takahashi knocked on his crutches, and his cloudy and deep eyes looked at Shirakawa, who had been silent.
"Shirakawa, it's your turn."
