After seeing off Shinichiro Suganuma, Inoue Hiko's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
His dissatisfaction with Yamazaki Shuichi also escalated to a higher level at this moment.
Yamazaki Shuichi is the deputy director of Inoue Mansion. He has always been loyal to him and has good ability in doing things. Therefore, Inouehiko is quite satisfied and trusts Yamazaki Shuichi.
In fact, in Inouehiko's mind, Yamazaki Shuichi would be the perfect candidate to succeed the mansion in the future.
However, this time, Yamazaki Shuichi secretly sent people to monitor and follow Cheng Qianfan, which made Inoue Yan very angry.
This kind of anger is even greater than the murder of Yamazaki Shuichi.
Previously, due to surveillance and tracking of Cheng Qianfan, Imamura Hyoutaro was strongly dissatisfied. He stated that Cheng Qianfan was a friend of the empire developed by Iwai Mansion, and any unfriendly behavior towards Cheng Qianfan was strictly prohibited.
Inoue Yan personally apologized to Imamura Hyoutarou on the phone and solemnly stated that "there will never be a next time." This matter was revealed.
And now, Yamazaki Shuichi's move will directly damage the relationship between the Inoue Mansion and the Iwai Mansion. More directly, this matter will anger Hyoutaro Imamura, a promising counselor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He should not be humiliated or provoked by an 'ordinary person' like Inoue Hiko.
The most important thing is that Inoue Yan knows nothing about it!
In private, Yamazaki Shuichi hid the secret from him, the curator, and acted privately. After Takeshima's disappearance, Yamazaki Shuichi did not report to him. Even after Kojima Kinjiro and others also disappeared, Yamazaki Shuichi did not report to him.
, Yamazaki Shuichi's actions, in Inouehiko's eyes, although not betrayal, are no less than betrayal!
However, no matter what, Yamazaki Shuichi was killed, and Inouehiko had to get to the bottom of the matter and avenge Yamazaki Shuichi.
This is related to the dignity and prestige of Inoue Mansion.
…
"What did you find?" Inouehiko asked in a deep voice.
"I have inquired about some situations." Kotaro Yano said, with a slightly hesitant look on his face.
"Say." Inouehiko glanced at Kotaro Yano.
"There are rumors that Cheng Qianfan was having an affair with Asuka Iijima." Kotaro Yano said, "That night, Cheng Qianfan went to have a tryst with Asuka Iijima, but he didn't expect Yamazaki-kun to be at home, so there was a conflict."
"Nani?" Inouehiko showed a very shocked expression. He thought that the hesitant Yano Kotaro would report some other situations that made him angry, such as Yamazaki Shuzai's overt and covert violation of him early on, but he didn't.
I thought it was such sexy news.
He looked at Kotaro Yano and said, "So, you are saying that Yamazaki's murder was probably due to the peach dispute?"
"No, no, no." Kotaro Yano shook his head hurriedly, "What my subordinate means is that if Cheng Qianfan is indeed having an affair with Asuka Iijima, then the reason why he appeared at Nishi Jiraiya Street last night can be definitely confirmed.
Already."
He said to Inoue Yan, "As for Cheng Qianfan saying that the so-called Hirakawa Mataemon was involved in many cases, and the compensation note that Yamazaki-kun was forced to write, these are just pretexts deliberately created by Cheng Qianfan.
, using official duties to cover up the scandal of his affair with Asuka Iijima being revealed."
Inouehiko rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. He was thinking about the possibility mentioned by Kotaro Yano.
"Cheng Qianfan and Asuka Iijima are having an affair." Inoue Yan frowned and asked, "Can this fact be confirmed for sure?"
"No." Kotaro Yano shook his head, "Mr. Curator, you also know that unless you are caught in bed, there is no definite proof of this kind of thing. However, it is groundless. Cheng Qianfan is famous for his greed for money and lust, and Asuka Iijima..."
Having said this, a look of 'what a pity' flashed across Yano Kotaro's eyes, "This woman from Yamazaki-kun is indeed a rare beauty."
Inouehiko nodded slightly. He had never seen Asuka Iijima alive, but he had seen the corpse of Asuka Iijima, a murdered woman. The corpse made him feel a little surprised, as you can imagine for a living person.
In this way, Cheng Qianfan was lustful, handsome, and powerful, and Asuka Iijima was beautiful. And as far as he knew, Shuichi Yamazaki did not go to Asuka Iijima's place every day. Sometimes he would not return for ten days when he was busy. Family, this will inevitably give philandering guys like Cheng Qianfan an opportunity to take advantage of it.
However, Inoue Yan frowned immediately.
"So, the biggest role you have found out about this situation is to prove that there is no direct relationship between Cheng Qianfan and Yamazaki's death?" Inoue Yan said with a grim look.
"It can be determined from the neighbor's testimony that Asuka Iijima was not harmed in any way when Cheng Qianfan took people away. It was Asuka Iijima who closed the door." Kotaro Yano said, "As for Yamazaki-kun, the neighbor did not see him. , However, they vaguely heard Yamazaki-kun and Asuka Iijima talking, so they can also confirm that Yamazaki-kun was alive at the time."
…
Inouehiko nodded slightly and motioned for Yano Kotaro to continue.
"It was only after that that someone knocked on the door again." Kotaro Yano said, "Moreover, we learned about the latest situation."
"explain."
"Knocking on the door should be an imperial woman." Kotaro Yano said.
"Imperial woman?" Inoue Yan's expression became serious.
??????55.??????
"Yes, she is an imperial woman, a girl to be precise." Kotaro Yano said, "My neighbor Yuji Shiina said that he heard the voice of the woman who knocked on the door was young, like a young girl."
"Shiina Yuji's wife said that she also heard the woman knocking on the door shouting 'Mrs. Asuka', and she vaguely heard that the woman was here to get something."
"What are you getting?" Inoue Yan asked immediately.
"I don't know." Yano Kotaro shook his head, "I asked the surrounding neighbors and no one heard clearly. However, many people confirmed that when Asuka Iijima opened the door for visitors, they heard Yamazaki-kun shouting 'No' Open the door'!"
He looked at Inoue Yan and continued, "This can also confirm that Yamazaki-kun was alive at the time, and judging from the feedback from neighbors, Yamazaki-kun had a loud voice, so his physical condition should be okay."
"'Don't open the door'?" Inoue Hiko suffered from severe rheumatic bone pain. He covered his knees with a blanket, looked at Kotaro Yano and asked, "What can you think of from this sentence?"
"My subordinates have also thought about it carefully. This sentence is very strange." Kotaro Yano said thoughtfully, "Obviously, before the woman entered the house, Yamazaki-kun was aware of the danger. He knew that the person who came was evil, so he did not let Iijima
Asuka opened the door, but it was too late."
Inouehiko nodded slightly and motioned for Kotaro Yano to continue.
"The woman has not yet entered the house, but Yamazaki-kun is aware of the danger, which means that Yamazaki-kun heard something wrong from the woman's voice." Kotaro Yano said, "I highly doubt that Yamazaki-kun knows that woman.
And he immediately realized that the appearance of this woman meant danger was coming, so he decisively tried to prevent Asuka Iijima from opening the door."
"You just said that this person is an imperial woman?" Inoue Yan said after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, curator." Yano Kotaro said, "The neighbors reported that the visitor is an imperial woman."
Inoue Yan's brows furrowed, then relaxed, and then furrowed even more tightly.
An imperial woman.
Yamazaki Shuichi knew this person and knew immediately that this woman was here to kill him.
Suddenly, Inoue Yan thought of something, and his expression became even more gloomy.
"Yano." Inouehiko said in a deep voice.
"Hai."
"Focus on the investigation of that imperial woman." Inoue Yan said in a deep voice, "Xiang Laihuo Street people, ask Iijima Asuka's friends in the izakaya, I need to know more about this woman."
"Hai."
"Also, you should lead people to search Yamazaki's house carefully and double-check whether anything is missing at the scene." Inouehiko said in a deep voice, and then paused, "Ask Kaiichiro Nishioka to accompany you.
He was more professional and careful in the inspection work."
"Hai."
After Shinichiro Suganuma left, Inoue Hiko leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes closed, and seemed to fall into a peaceful atmosphere of reflection, but he seemed to have fallen asleep, and soon started to snore slightly.
However, soon, Inouehiko suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were gloomy and even more stern.
The new situation reported by Shinichiro Suganuma aroused his special vigilance and suspicion.
After hesitating for a moment, Inouehiko picked up the phone.
"I'm Inoue Hiko, and I want to go to the office of Section Chief 3 of the Special High School Course." Inoue Hiko said in a deep voice.
…
On the first day of the new year, the atmosphere in the patrol room was lazy.
‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ made another inspection before leaving get off work under the expectant eyes of his subordinates.
"Go directly to Masinan Road." Cheng Qianfan looked at the people and scenery outside the window and said calmly.
Shanghai has been occupied for two and a half years. A large number of refugees have poured into the French Concession. Hundreds of thousands of people have crowded into the small concession, which has actually contributed to the abnormal prosperity of the concession.
In the French Concession on the first day of the Lunar New Year, amidst the dilapidated and decaying smell, there seemed to be a bit more of the joyful atmosphere of the New Year with forced smiles.
Hao Gongshen stood at the window of the study room on the second floor and watched three cars parked in front of his house.
He then knew that Cheng Qianfan was here.
The bodyguards who got out of one car stood on guard with guns, and the bodyguards who got out of another car held up black umbrellas. Several umbrellas were held up, blocking the view of Tong Gongshen.
Naturally, he also knew that this black umbrella also blocked the eyes and bullets that might be malicious towards his nephew and student.
"Teacher, I would like to express my gratitude for the new year. I wish you everything will go well and you will be healthy and strong in the new year." Cheng Qianfan saluted and said hello to his wife, He Xuelin.
The teacher's wife was holding Xiaozhizhi in her hand. When she saw him coming, she nodded happily.
"You just came here empty-handed?" Bai Ruolan mocked her husband from the side.
"I brought my mouth with me." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, and he said to his wife, "Don't worry, my wife, as long as I am here, there will never be any leftovers for dinner."
