Chapter 879: Wine Tasting Event

On Saturday, January 20th, in the afternoon, Sunset Shohei Mansion.

Takekichi Sotomura drove to the Mori Detective Agency and picked up Mori and Yamazaki to come here. After knocking on the door, he was taken to the backyard by the servant who answered the door. He saw Kusaka Shohei, his wife Kusaka Yoshiko, and some guests.

Mori and Somura Jokichi sat down at a long table after exchanging greetings with the Kusaka couple and the guests, and entered the main topic—wine tasting. Yamazaki took the drink and found another place to sit down.

Kusaka Shohei first took out three bottles of wine that were wrapped so that only the mouth of the bottle was exposed, and poured them for everyone, but Jokichi Toamura tasted them one by one; Another sip came out; Kusaka Shohei took out three bottles again and poured them for everyone, and it turned out that Tomura Jokichi sipped them one by one again.

Rixia Shengping's face was livid, "In this case, I will show you my most precious collection." Then he said to everyone, "Everyone please do your own thing, I will excuse you first." After finishing speaking, he returned to the house and passed by where Yamazaki was. I bumped into a chair at the small round table.

"Huh!" Waicun Zhangji breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from his brow, "I'm going to the bathroom." After speaking, he went back to the house, and other people who went to the bathroom also got up and left.

"Ah, is this an intermission?" Mao Lilian, who had drunk nine glasses of wine until the glass was dry, was already a little drunk, "Then I'll take a nap first." He lay down on the table as he said that.

Yamazaki shook his head, no wonder Uncle Mori wanted me to come here, he wanted me to help him go home later.

At this time, a fat middle-aged man hurried past Yamazaki's table, Yamazaki frowned, again? So he got up and followed.

After a while, the middle-aged man entered the hall of the house, and Yamazaki stopped outside the hall to listen. Hearing the middle-aged man slow down, he understood that he was waiting for other guests who went to the bathroom to enter the passage leading to the bathroom before moving.

Sure enough, after a while, Yamazaki heard the sound of running, and understood that he saw no one around and immediately ran to the back of the stairs in the hall, the stairs leading to the wine cellar.

Yamazaki deduced that he would stick his head out again to make sure there was no one around, so he went out, only to see the middle-aged man sneaking out from behind the stairs, and he saw Yamazaki froze for a moment.

Yamazaki asked as he walked over: "I am the assistant of Detective Mori, can we talk, sir?"

"You, I..." The middle-aged man didn't know what to say for a while.

Yamazaki grabbed the middle-aged man, "Come on, let's find a place to talk." Then he pulled the middle-aged man upstairs.

A moment later, in the corridor on the second floor, at a window that can see the backyard.

Yamazaki let go of the middle-aged man, "Sorry, I was rude just now."

"What do you want to tell me?" The middle-aged man said in a panic, "I didn't do anything."

"I know." Yamazaki said, "I know you want to kill Kusaka-san."

"You, you are talking nonsense." The middle-aged man exclaimed, but his voice was very low, obviously subconsciously not wanting to attract attention.

"I want to know why you are. If you say it, maybe I can help you." Yamazaki said, and then asked, "Speaking out, it doesn't affect you, does it?"

"I..." The middle-aged man was hesitating when he suddenly saw Rixia Shengping appearing in the backyard with a drink, and fell to the ground as if he had lost all strength for a moment.

Not long after, there was applause in the backyard. Apparently, Mr. Yoshikashi had produced the wine collected by Higashi Shinghei and won the bet on debt forgiveness.

"I also have a debt." The middle-aged man said with some dismay, "I am the owner of a small town factory. When the business was down a few years ago, I borrowed a few sums of money from Higami, and I still have a lot of money left. Not much, but recently the Good Mood Consortium and the six major consortiums have competed with each other in the retail industry. One side has hoarded a huge amount of crude oil and used the processing base in Hokkaido coupled with low-cost logistics to drive down prices.

One party recruited our town factories to provide products nearby. Although my income was not much, I calculated that I could barely repay it when the deadline came, but Rixia Shengping forced me to repay the loan in advance. "

Yamazaki asked: "How did you sign the contract?"

"No, I asked a lawyer. There is an early payment clause in the contract. And I have borrowed money from him several times before, and I have mortgaged the entire factory to him. Now there is really nothing else that can be used as collateral. Other places have borrowed money for turnover, so I can only beg him." The middle-aged man said, "But I begged him several times without success, and after many inquiries, I found out that he lost a large amount of investment last year, forcing The purpose of my repayment is actually to want the land of my factory. I understand him, he has his difficulties, but there are dozens of workers in my factory, and it is difficult to find jobs now. If the factory is closed, they will... When I face those employees, I really have no way to say it. We have all survived the most difficult period when there was no business a few years ago. Now, now, I can’t say it.” I cried, “I really I don’t want to do this, but I can’t help it, it’s better for my employees to go to jail than lose their jobs.”

"That's good," Yamazaki said, "Do you know Wuju Financial Club? You go to borrow some money to repay the account and get your factory back, and then give it to Wuju Financial Club as collateral."

The middle-aged man wiped away his tears and said expectantly: "Sir, do you know them? They wouldn't lend me such a large sum of money without collateral."

"When you see Mr. Takei or Ms. Hanai, tell them that Maori detectives let you go, but you must keep it secret, and it is not good for others to know." Yamazaki said.

"I understand this, I understand this." The middle-aged man said gratefully, "Thank you very much."

"Now your problem is solved," Yamazaki asked, "Can you please tell me how you plan to do it?"

"Well," said the middle-aged man, "well, let me tell you. I plan to go into the wine cellar and do it first, and then take out the key. When everyone comes to check after watching the sun set for a long time, I will follow. Then he helped to open the door and threw the key in the wine cellar. There are so many guests here, it is difficult for the police to suspect me, but I plan to surrender to the police after a while."

"I see." Yamazaki asked, "But how do you plan to do it?"

"I'm going to strangle him so that he won't bleed," said the middle-aged man.

"Your idea is very good, but if you do that, you will never be able to get out of this house." Yamazaki laughed.

"Why?" The middle-aged man asked.

"If you want to strangle Mr. Kusaka to death in the wine cellar, you will inevitably have physical contact with Mr. Kusaka. No matter whether Mr. Kusaka will grab something from you, your own clothes will definitely stay Wrinkled." Yamazaki laughed, "And every guest's clothes are neat and tidy, if only your clothes are wrinkled, then it's self-evident who the murderer is."

"This, this..." The middle-aged man was speechless.

"Okay, you'd better borrow money quickly." Yamazaki patted the middle-aged man, and then left. ...

Soon after, the backyard.

When Yamazaki returned to the meeting place, he found that Mori was drinking with Takekichi Sotsumura to celebrate his release of debts, while most of the others were around Shohei Kusaka, and a few talked to each other, so he returned to his seat.

More than half an hour later, Maori was drunk again, and Yamazaki helped Maori to leave, went out and called a taxi, got off the car, helped Maori to Maori's house and handed it to Lan before returning home. ...

On Sunday, January 21, Miyamoto's house.

In the afternoon, the Miyamotos sat leisurely in the living room drinking tea and watching TV dramas, Yamazaki went to work at the Mori Detective Agency, and Mei Daizi played video games in the entertainment room, using simulated firearms to play Evil Menace 2, this year's New Year's gift.

Nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, the phone rang, and Miko Miyamoto answered it when she saw it was Belinda's number, "Calling at this hour, where are you?"

"Grand America Washington Hotel." Belinda said, "You turn on the TV first."

"So you are going to a celebration party? Isn't it a happy thing for you Republicans to be elected president?" Miko Miyamoto asked with a smile, "Why does it sound very unhappy?" She picked up the TV remote control and tuned After entering the channel, Belinda, Olivia, Enoch, and Annie appeared on the TV screen.

"At the celebration party just now, the person who just sat on the throne informed me to clarify our relationship." Belinda said a little angrily, "That's all for the democrats, and now my own people are also here entanglement."

Olivia said: "This has nothing to do with the party. No matter who sits in that seat, they will come to ask. Your company is more sensitive. Like me, Enoch and Annie, they don't care. The democrats are afraid of pushing you too hard. It is different for the republicans to arouse the common hatred of the republicans, this is an internal matter, so it is more direct."

"I know this truth, but I just can't get angry." Belinda said with some anger.

Miko Miyamoto smiled and said, "Do you still keep that thing? Show it to him."

"Show him? How could he believe it?" Belinda asked angrily.

Miyamoto Miko said with a smile: "It's up to him whether he believes it or not, but the facts are like this. As long as you test it, you will know that it was written in 1980."

"What?" Enoch asked.

"The bet, Meizi will fight with us, and if we lose, we will support our cause." Olivia laughed.

"It's that simple?" Annie was taken aback.

Olivia shrugged, "We didn't expect to be able to play so big in the end."

Enoch said: "No wonder you don't say it, no one will believe this stuff."

Miko Miyamoto said: "Well, Belinda, you give that to him first, and if he and the veterans of your party believe it after the test result, that's the best, if you don't believe it, then ask him and The elders of your party come to the hotel and meet me just like this, or you can arrange a place to meet, let’s chat.”

"Alright, then I'll let someone deliver the things." Belinda said, and then said in a cold voice, "If it doesn't work, then there's no need to talk about it. I've done my best to cooperate to this extent, and then don't Blame me for dismantling my own platform."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Olivia smiled, "Let's talk about it when things come to an end." Then she smiled at Miko Miyamoto, "Okay, I won't disturb your two-person world. , we're going to rest too, we'll talk about it when we have results." After speaking, he cut off the screen and hung up the phone at the same time.

"Trouble." Miyamoto Ichiro said.

"No way, who would make Belinda like it?" Miko Miyamoto turned back to the TV series with the TV remote control, "And I don't want her to start all over again, it will take many years, and time is precious." Then watch Checking the time, "Make another pot of tea."

"Okay." Miyamoto Ichiro nodded. ...

January 27, Saturday, after seven in the morning, at Miyamoto's house.

Miko Miyamoto received a call from Belinda, "What's going on?" Yamazaki asked Yamazaki to turn on the TV and adjust the channel, and Belinda, Olivia, Enoch, and Anne appeared on the TV screen. people.

Belinda said: "After they read the test results, they asked me to show them the company's documents. I asked them to sign a non-disclosure agreement and showed them to them. When they saw that the owner of the company was me, they believed me and you. The relationship between them is as simple as that."

"The high level of trust can be regarded as the advantage of the party's handling." Olivia smiled, "Then they asked Belinda to do an evaluation."

"Evaluation?" Miko Miyamoto asked with a smile, "It's not a psychological evaluation, is it?"

Annie smiled and said, "Yes, it's a psychological assessment about whether the eldest sister is patriotic."

"That's it." Enoch laughed.

Belinda said: "Although it was a headache to be asked, but I finally passed the test and the problem was solved."

"It's good that the problem is solved." Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "If you have nothing else to do, come here, you guys go to rest early." After finishing speaking, she turned off the TV and hung up the phone. ...
