"When I think about working for Iwahashi-san, I hope to achieve perfection." Imai's words were half sincere. He promised that he would find a satisfactory land for Iwahashi Shinichi.
Iwahashi Shinichi said politely, "I know Imai-san is reliable, so I immediately thought of entrusting it to you."
Of course, Imai did do things in an orderly manner, which made him very worry-free.
"By the way," Shinichi Iwahashi asked casually, "Has there been any new news about the demolition plan over at 5-chome?" At this time, he was not concerned about whether he still had a chance to become a demolished household, but was curious.
A fight arose over development plans for that neighborhood. Man is a gossipy creature after all.
Imai showed a smile that could share gossip, "Iwahashi-san, are you interested in listening?"
"I heard," Imai told Shinichi Iwahashi the latest information he had learned recently, "that the headless murder that happened in the fifth chome has now been revealed."
It was this dead end that stopped the development plan for that block. Jiro Tsunoda, who originally had a chance to compete for the next president of the Inagawa Association, wanted to use the successful development of that block as a bargaining chip for his victory, but it turned out that
Because I invested too much in it, I was held back and ultimately missed the position of president.
"The relationship behind the targeted suspect seems to point to a team leader directly under the president of Inagawa Holy City," Imai said.
Iwahashi Shinichi was stunned for a moment, "Inagawa Holy City?"
"That's right, the father of the current president of the Inagawa Association." Imai said his reasoning in an unexpected yet reasonable tone, "President Inagawa must prefer that his son inherit the position of president.
, but if you want to secure the position of the Yakuza, you need prestige more than blood ties. Only by destroying Tsunoda Jiro-san's prestige can the handover be completed smoothly."
"Is that so?" Iwahashi Shinichi frowned.
Imai is quite confident in his reasoning, "Now it seems that the possibility is extremely high."
Iwahashi Shinichi nodded, seeming to agree with his reasoning. When Imai saw this, he showed a proud expression, but it was not noticed by Iwahashi Shinichi. Just like himself, he also did not notice Iwahashi Shinichi's wrinkles.
brow.
Iwahashi Shinichi's question was not so much seeking Imai's answer as it was asking himself a question. Is this really the case?
Previously, he had also guessed in his heart that perhaps Daochuan Holy City used a knife to kill people to pave the way for his son.
However, the murder suspect was targeted and easily found to be related to the direct subordinates of Inagawa Holy City. In this way, Iwahashi Shinichi felt in his heart that this incident was definitely not the fault of Inagawa Holy City.
.The power struggle in reality is sometimes outrageous and makes people full of questions. But when such negligence happens to the leader of the Yakuza organization, it makes people feel that it is definitely not him.
"At this time, the National Police Agency is on standby."
Imai kept his treasures in mind and gossiped with Shinichi Iwahashi, "It is said that there may be a struggle within the Inagawa Society, and the situation of the 'Yanichi Resistance' may be repeated. In order to prevent the confrontation between the Yakuza from spreading to the public, the National Police Agency
But I have to be busy."
The so-called Shanyi Protest happened ten years ago.
The third generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Kazuo Taoka, died, and the designated fourth generation also died of illness in prison soon. The group split into the acting leader Yamamoto Hiroyuki faction and the Wakato Takenaka Masahisa faction. With the support of the eldest sister Taoka Fumiko, Takenaka Masahisa succeeded him.
The group leader, Hiroyuki Yamamoto, split from the Yamaguchi group and established the First Peace Society, and the two families began a years-long struggle.
If Inagawa were to repeat what happened during the Yamaichi uprising, the police in Kanto would have to learn from the police in Kansai—to learn how to attack gangs when they are divided.
For the police, internal divisions in gangs are a great opportunity to attack them and weaken their power.
But Shinichi Iwahashi still felt in his heart that things were not as simple as they seemed. If it were to be said, even if some hostile force outside did such a thing and then blamed it on the younger brother of Inagawa Holy City to sow discord, it would still be wrong.
It is more reasonable than the situation presented today.
However, these thoughts only swirled in Iwahashi Shinichi's mind and were not spoken out.
At this moment, Imai realized it in hindsight and remembered to ask Iwahashi Shinichi what he thought, "Iwahashi-san, what do you think of this incident?"
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "I was just thinking about whether that small piece of land would ever be developed."
"There will always be a day." Imai also smiled. He straightened his expression and said more realistically, "However, the land where the fatal accident occurred will probably not be mentioned again until the incident is forgotten.
matter."
Iwahashi Shinichi thought that by then, the developer on the surface might not still be Tachikawa Kosan.
…
After coming out of the cafe, Shinichi Iwahashi and Imai stood on the roadside to say goodbye.
Iwahashi Shinichi took the pile of information about the land and said, "I will confirm it as soon as possible. At that time, I should need Imai-san to take us to see it on the spot."
Imai lowered his head, "I'm always waiting for Iwahashi-san's call."
The cafe was not far from Genzo. Shinichi Iwahashi and Imai finished their greetings and walked back slowly. At this time of year, the temperature was comfortable, neither too cold nor too hot, so it was a good time for a walk.
Before entering the building, suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him——
"Kirin-san!"
Iwahashi Shinichi paused, raised his eyelids, and saw in the reflection of the glass a young man. His face was unimpressive, but his clothes were fashionable, as if he was taking the spotlight.
Such a person would look quite eye-catching when he appeared in Aoyama. If he were in Shibuya, he would be very suitable. However, once he arrives in Shibuya, such a person will probably disappear in front of Shinichi Iwahashi. Because, Shibuya
Shibuya is full of young people like this. In Shibuya, everyone seems to be the same person.
The security personnel of the building noticed the situation here, reacted very quickly, and rushed to the young man's side. Iwahashi Shinichi did not pay attention to what happened next to the young man who suddenly appeared and called "Kirin-san". He walked in
Building.
Despite this, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but not care when a stranger called out his other identity in public. He wondered where the young man guessed that the Giraffe Man was related to him.
However, there is no airtight wall, and it does not surprise Shinichi Iwahashi to be guessed. In itself, the true identity of the Giraffe Man is a tacit agreement to keep a secret together, just like a Disney doll.
This secret can only be tacitly smiled at each other, but cannot be acknowledged in public.
…
hateful!
Zhushan ran hard.
His strange clothes looked out of place in Qingshan, making him unable to raise his head. At this moment, he was running hard, and people passing by would be even more surprised when they saw it. Zhushan seemed to be a wild man in the mountains who had strayed into the human world.
, so he could only escape in a hurry.
Run away quickly before you get caught, taken away somewhere, and become a monkey in a zoo.
As Takeyama was running, there was still a burning fire in his chest, which made him breathless. Just now, when he called out "Kirin-san!", Shinichi Iwahashi stopped, right?
That’s right! Shinichi Iwahashi is the giraffe man from Dreams e True. Shinichi Iwahashi is a sanctimonious liar!
He pretended to be a hero, but in the end, everyone was deceived by him.
No, that's not the case!
The liar is not just Iwahashi Shinichi, the entire entertainment industry, as well as newspapers, magazines, and television stations, are all colluding with that liar.
If there weren't so many accomplices, how could Shinichi Iwahashi deceive everyone and play the role of Giraffe Man? If everyone wasn't covering him up, why wouldn't newspapers or magazines expose him?
identity?
"How can gossip and gossip be kept in the pages of a magazine?"
Liar! The magazine has fabricated so many baseless news. Why did Shinichi Iwahashi cautiously ask for evidence?
"Don't be ridiculous. According to the so-called information you provided, it is possible that I am Giraffe-san from Dreams e True. Both Giraffe-san and I can play the keyboard, and our singing is not very good."
You are the ones who shouldn't be smiling! The evidence I produced is very convincing, and it is not a coincidence!
However, no magazine accepted his submission.
The big magazines were resolute, but there were two top-notch weekly magazines that were very interested in Takeyama's "hypothesis". However, among those weekly magazines, only the "Weekly" was true, and the rest were all fabricated. They could even fabricate the identity of a famous idol.
Transgender?! Such a sensational headline.
Wouldn't it be a big fool to hand over the information you carefully compiled to a magazine like that?
Zhushan's chest was burning. He stopped, pressed his knees, and gasped for air. The more he breathed, the more painful he felt in his chest. It was like drinking red-hot molten iron, or eating poison that would make him mute.
He couldn't say a word.
Everyone is telling him to shut up, right?
The world was spinning before his eyes, and after a while, the figure of Shinichi Iwahashi whom he had just seen emerged.
He was wearing a suit. In that area, there were office workers everywhere wearing suits similar to Shinichi Iwahashi's. They were so ordinary and nothing out of the ordinary. However, when Shinichi Iwahashi appeared, Takeyama could immediately change his appearance.
Among the office workers, identify the person you are looking for.
Unlike myself, no matter how fashionable I dress, I will either stand out from the crowd in Shibuya or become an outlier in Aoyama.
In front of Zhushan, a dark cloud suddenly drifted across.
"Excuse me--"
It's not a dark cloud, it's a shadow of a person. Zhushan raised his head and caught a glimpse of the dark cloud's uniform collar badge.
"Do you need any help? You seem to be struggling. You have been running since just now..." The young policeman looked enthusiastic.
Zhushan's chest, which was slightly relieved, became even hotter.
He dealt with the officious police officers hastily and walked away like a prisoner who got away with it.
