And in the conversation where Karasawa and the others asked for information from relevant people, conversational skills were even more needed.
A lot of information was revealed through casual chatting. This was why Tang Ze and the others did not rush to ask the main questions first, but instead collected information in a casual chat.
And in this process, the cooperation of the two people is indispensable, so that they can guide the other party to continue the topic in a tacit understanding.
And it can also reduce the other party's vigilance when asking key questions at the end, lest the other party refuse to answer the question.
Therefore, in the previous chat, Takagi and Karasawa cooperated tacitly to guide the topic.
This routine is basically to chat about family matters first, then gain some information about other people from the sidelines, and then get into the topic.
Even if the other party reacts strongly, is unwilling to answer, and starts "seeing guests off", the two of them will not be kicked out without gaining anything.
Of course, this is also a measure for the general situation of the other party. Fortunately, Mrs. Katori falls into this "normal situation" and even revealed a lot of information unconsciously during the conversation.
Seeing that the conversation was almost done, Karasawa and Takagi looked at each other, and the good old Takagi looked at Katori Tenten and said, "Um...I heard that the person who introduced Mrs. Mitorori to everyone is you, Mrs. Katori, right?"
"I...um...actually, I just met Mrs. Mitori at the shopping mall..."
Seeing that when it came to the main topic, Mrs. Katori hesitated a little, but she still spoke slowly.
"Shopping mall of your choice?" Tangze didn't understand the name, "What's the specific situation?"
"Well, it's a kind of bazaar or flea market opened in a nearby square." Mrs. Katori explained: "That's where we met, but our relationship isn't actually close..."
"do not touch!!"
"But!!"
Just when the atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while, the two children, one large and one small, who were playing in the side room, had a slight conflict.
"Haha, do you all like trains too?"
Takagi saw that the two children had a tendency to quarrel, so he smiled and stepped forward to divert their attention.
When they picked up the two children from school, the two had already identified themselves, so the two boys were not afraid of them.
"It's Pioneer One." Takagi came to the two of them, pointed at the running train and smiled.
"That's awesome, you deserve to be Mr. Criminal!" The older child praised, stood up from the ground, and held a sign from a box on the side to show it to the two of them.
"Look!"
"This is really cool, it's the brand of Pioneer One!" Takagi seemed to know a lot about railways. He took the plaque and explained to Karasawa in surprise.
Pioneer 1 was a train from a long time ago, and this plaque was its license plate number at that time.
"Authentic?" Tangze said, taking the plaque handed over by Takagi. The heavy hand showed that it was not an imitation plaque, "That's really awesome."
Mrs. Katori on the side saw the two coming to comfort the children, and also walked over with a smile.
But when he saw the pile of debris on the ground clearly, he immediately panicked, "Ah, I'm talking about you two!!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Katori immediately picked up a vase carefully from the ground and taught the two children a lesson: "Hey! Didn't I tell you not to play with this?! What will happen if you break it!!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Katori turned the small vase back and forth. She was relieved when she saw that the bottle was not damaged.
"Um... may I ask what this is..." Tang Ze asked curiously, "Is it an antique?"
Judging from the other party's behavior, it must be an expensive vase after all, otherwise it would not have had such a big reaction.
But unfortunately, I didn't know anything about antiques in my previous life, let alone neon antiques, so my eyesight went dark, so I had no choice but to ask.
"It's a small vase from Kutani porcelain. It's quite old and has great commemorative value." After Mrs. Katori explained, she smiled and said, "Actually, Mrs. Matsushita gave it to me."
"A gift from Mrs. Matsushita?"
Takagi was surprised. After all, although this vase is not a precious item worth tens of millions, it is still valuable enough.
"Well, I heard from Mrs. Matsushita that this was a vase that her grandfather bought when he was the ambassador." Mrs. Katori touched the small vase and said, "This vase was placed in her home without care."
"Then she gave this little vase to you?" Takagi exclaimed, "Should I say that she is worthy of being a celebrity?"
"Ms. Matsushita is actually very generous." Mrs. Katori smiled with a bit of embarrassment: "But maybe it's because I look like I want it very much.
Ah, of course, I didn’t accept them all just because she said “for you”, but I like this one very much, so I accepted it.”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Katori seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became a little unnatural.
After hearing the meaning of the other party's words, Karasawa said: "In other words, is there anyone who accepts Mrs. Matsushita's generosity without any courtesy and accepts all the other's kindness?"
"Well..." Mrs. Katori said with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "Although logically speaking I shouldn't say bad things about people who have passed away..."
Although the other party did not say it clearly, everyone present knew who the other party was talking about.
"So, is it Sanae Sanae?"
"It's Mrs. Mitori. She didn't reject Mrs. Matsushita's kindness. She was even greedy and had no conscience at all."
Faced with Takagi's question, Mrs. Katori finally spoke up and told Karasawa and the others what was pressing on her heart.
Not long after the other party came to Mrs. Matsushita's house in Qiu, she fell in love with an item just like Mrs. Katori.
But after Mrs. Matsushita gave her that item, the convenience became even worse.
He even deliberately said that he wanted Mrs. Matsushita's necklace, which made the scene ugly for a while. But then Mrs. Matsushita gave the necklace to her, and the other party said hypocritically, "This is not good, doesn't it matter?"
This kind of statement is almost the same as sarcasm. As the saying goes, "taking advantage of others" means you can just take someone's things and still ridicule them.
And this is also the reason why Mrs. Katori never looked so good when she was at Mrs. Matsushita's house in Qiu.
Because she felt that it was her fault for introducing Mrs. Santori, which changed the atmosphere of the originally harmonious gathering.
Later, Mrs. Mitori died again. When Karasawa and others visited, the reason why Mrs. Katori was silent was because she didn't want to mention this matter.
Because this will make her feel very sorry for Mrs. Matsushita.
Because the person she recommended brought so much trouble to the other party, Mrs. Katori felt that she was unworthy of such a good person as Mrs. Matsushita.
