"She's looking for you and your sister?"
“Yes, she commissioned a detective named Narisawa Sanpei to investigate us.
At that time, I thought that she might still have a trace of mother-daughter love for us. I even had some expectations about it, wondering if she wanted to come find us. If that was the case, it would not be impossible to forgive her...but!
She is not at all! She investigated us to get the property of her so called 'daughter'! She also called us a cash cow!!
This beast! Idiot! My sister Noriko died a long time ago! I don’t have any property at all!”
[Noriko... Noriko Kawai? Are they the cash cows that Kimiko Arai mentioned? ]
Wu Wanying was confused.
According to Kawai Shoko, they are not at all what Kimiko Arai calls cash cows.
Was it that Sanpei Narisawa, the person whom Kimiko Arai commissioned to investigate, made a mistake?
Also, who is the mysterious person who sent this letter? What is his/her purpose?
"So, you finally made up your mind to kill?" asked Officer Megure. There was not much anger in his tone, but rather it was full of regret and pity.
"That's right! That rotten person! The money-hungry beast! The bastard who abandoned us! I really hate myself for not killing her sooner!"
After cursing harshly, Kawai Jōko took a deep breath and looked at Karasuma Ying with a smile on his face.
“Little Detective, didn’t you say before that I played a trick to make that woman draw the Grim Reaper twice in a row?
Actually, no, I did use some magic the first time, but the second time, I really didn’t do anything…
She did draw that Death card herself. That was her own choice of fate... You can't blame me."
Phew, chapter 11, that’s it for tonight…
I think some careful book lovers should have already vaguely guessed the "dark truth"
Chapter 117 Encouragement from Regel: Come on! Do a good job!
Dark night, Narisawa Detective Agency.
The faint sound of television came through the office window, and hurried and hurried footsteps continued to sound in the room.
A fat middle-aged man was walking back and forth in the room. He looked flustered and frightened, and he kept muttering something in a low voice.
"Dead, they are all dead... What should I do... What should I do..."
He is Narisawa Sanpei, a veteran in the Japanese detective world.
He has been working as a detective for over twenty years now, and although his fame in recent years has not been as great as those of the young high school detectives of late, he has focused on corruption cases in the business world and is a famous detective who has solved countless cases, so his abilities as a detective are very secure.
In addition, he also opened a detective training class aimed at training young people who want to become detectives.
Therefore, he also enjoys a high reputation in the Japanese detective world.
The above are all the public identities of Narisawa Sanpei.
Behind the scenes, he works for a powerful and mysterious organization.
The true strength of this organization is unfathomable, and what Narisawa Sanpei has been able to see so far is just the tip of the iceberg.
He has a superior with whom he can communicate directly. He does not know the true identity of that person. He only knows that the other party should be a male and has a code name called "Rum".
More than ten years ago, when Narisawa Sanpei was not yet famous, Rum approached him, and after a secret conversation, the two established a special cooperative relationship.
Sanpei Narisawa was responsible for investigating and monitoring the companies on a list provided to him by Rum. If any abnormal behavior of these companies occurred, he would report it to Rum immediately.
In the process, he can ask for a small "care fee" from these companies within the scope permitted by the rules.
At the same time, he can also use some "immediate measures" in the way he is good at to help Rum and the mysterious organization absorb and control some "suitable enterprises".
Over the years, Narisawa Sanpei has been working wholeheartedly for Rum. He considers himself a "veteran contributor" of the organization and has made great contributions.
But what? What did he get?
It's just meaningless money.
He had made enough money from those "obedient companies" ten years ago.
To put it bluntly, the current Narisawa Sanpei has no interest in money at all.
Pointless.
What he wants is power.
It is the kind of power where whenever you go out, people will treat you with respect, smile, and bow their heads to you!
This is what he wants now!
Even though Narisawa Sanpei seems to be a famous detective now, he is actually not qualified to be a detective.
He is a famous detective, so what?
Can he go out on the street and have people bow and salute him? Can he have cameras pointed at him wherever he goes? Can he make countless people quiet down and listen obediently when he speaks?
both are not.
He couldn't even go out to eat without paying.
The situation where countless people are chasing you wherever you go and countless people want your autograph is a privilege that only belongs to the handsome and beautiful young high school detectives.
There is no fate with him.
But even among those high school detectives, how many of them can become famous throughout Japan? What about the previous Kudo Shinichi? And the recent Karasuma Ying?
How many others could there be besides these two?
Too little.
After all, the profession of detective is not "high-end" enough and "has no class".
So Narisawa Sanpei wanted to climb higher, and he also felt that he was qualified to climb higher.
The strength of the organization is unfathomable. He has worked hard for the organization for so many years. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard. He is not young anymore. Even if it is just a matter of seniority, he should have been promoted, right?
So, Narisawa Sanpei contacted Rum and told him the idea.
As a result, to his great surprise, Rum rejected his request and sent him away with a sentence "You can only stay in this position".
What do you mean?
What does it mean that he can only be in this position?
Is it because he is not capable enough?
What are you farting?
Over the past decade or so, which of your companies have I not looked after with all my heart and soul? Think carefully about how many obedient companies I have helped you absorb for the development of your organization over the years?
In terms of ability and contribution, in what way am I, Narisawa Sanpei, lacking?
Don’t tell me there is no room up there. They organized this huge force. Who would believe me if you said the place is full?
It's been more than ten years, brother! Even if it's a shady company, you have to make way for me, right? !
Narisawa Sanpei was very angry, but he felt that he could still communicate with Rum and talk some sense into him.
So he made another request to Rum.
But this time Rum did not reply to him immediately. It was several days later that Narisawa Sanpei finally received a reply.
This time the person who replied was not Rum, but a man who called himself Reger.
In his reply, this person stated that Rum had been transferred in the previous organizational personnel reshuffle, and from now on, he was Narisawa Sanpei's superior.
At the end, Reger also rejected his idea of "promotion" and said:
"Your current position is your best position. Stay calm, keep going, and do your best."
When he saw these words, Narisawa Sanpei took a deep breath and was greatly shocked.
Is this how the top executives in our organization act? Do you think you can get rid of him with just a few empty words? Are you trying to fool a fool? Do you really think he is someone who can be manipulated?
You wait.
After failing to get a promotion verbally, Narisawa Sanpei decided to take some practical action.
He secretly contacted his good friend, Ichiro Ohada, the president of Aide Company.
Like him, Ichiro Yamato was a good friend who wanted to ask the organization for promotion, so they hit it off and decided to act together.
Of course, Narisawa Sanpei didn't actually intend to do anything that would harm the organization too much.
His original intention was just to collect some evidence that the organization controlled those companies, and then leak some of this evidence to the outside world to give the organization a small shock, so as to force the organization to agree to his idea of promotion.
He swore, that was really all he thought.
Then Ichiro Yamato died.
It was said that he was murdered by his old butler, but the police found in subsequent interrogations that the old butler seemed to have carried out the murder under the instigation and instructions of a mysterious person.
In other words, the old butler himself is also a chess piece.
His many years of career as a detective made Narisawa Sanpei keenly aware of the anomaly behind this.
He suspected that it might be the organization that took action.
But before he could react, his other friend, Kimiko Arai, also died.
It was still murder, and she was murdered by her own daughter.
And similar to the death of Ichiro Yamato, her own daughter also said that behind her killing Kimiko Arai, it seemed that someone was also fanning the flames...
Hiss, it seems like I can barely make it to three o'clock (﹃)
Chapter 118: Regel Surely Doesn’t Dare to Kill Me
Sanpei Narisawa knew Kimiko Arai, but not for long.
Initially, a week ago, Kimiko Arai found him and commissioned him to investigate two people.
According to her, those two were her long-lost daughters.
Since he was free at the time, Narisawa Sanpei accepted the commission.
However, as he investigated step by step, Narisawa Sanpei found that he seemed to have found something incredible.
