Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 41 39. A core member of the Yixin Society tells his own story

Kimie Tsujimura was very confused, and the most fundamental reason was that her stepson recently brought back a girl who said he wanted to get married.

It has nothing to do with the metaphysical connection between mother and daughter. It is mainly because after Tsujimura Kimie remarried, he would visit his daughter from afar every year.

Although his daughter was fostered by relatives, Kimie Tsujimura would send a generous amount of foster care fees to his relatives on time every year.

This money was enough for the relatives to raise Sachiko Katsuragi to adulthood, and the extra money could also help them improve their lives.

Because of this, when Takayoshi Tsujimura brought Sachiko Katsuragi into the house, Kimie Tsujimura recognized his daughter at the first moment.

The first moment he recognized his daughter, Tsujimura Kimie felt it was ridiculous, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The aesthetic taste of his stepson, Takayoshi Tsujimura, is similar to that of Tsujimura Isao himself. Having watched Katsuragi Sachiko grow up, Kimie Tsujimura naturally knows how much his daughter looks like himself when he was young.

It can't be said that they were printed from the same mold, but his appearance is very similar to mine, and if you look closely, he also looks a lot like my ex-husband.

Originally, Kimie Tsujimura thought that she could only watch her daughter grow up from afar for the rest of her life, but she never expected that her stepson would actually bring her daughter to Tsujimura's home.

Tsujimura Kimie obviously had no idea what to do, so he went to find Tsujimura Isao, who was the real head of the family, to ask for his opinion.

After all, it is not a pleasant thing to make public the fact that a father and son married their mother's daughter. Katsuragi Sachiko's eyebrows and eyes are so similar to hers that Tsujimura Kimie doesn't believe that Tsujimura Isao will not see it.

However, Tsujimura Isao's reaction was so intense that it was beyond Tsujimura Kimie's expectations. After living together for so many years, it was the first time she saw Tsujimura Isao so angry.

Without any hesitation, Tsujimura Isao firmly refused Katsuragi Sachiko's entry, and he even told Katsuragi Sachiko not to even think about entering the Tsujimura family.

Tsujimura Kimie didn't understand. Even if Tsujimura Isao wanted to refuse Katsuragi Sachiko from entering the house, there was no need to be so aggressive, right?

If she didn't know that Sachiko Katsuragi and Isao Tsujimura had never had any contact, Kimie Tsujimura would have thought that Sachiko Katsuragi had offended Isao Tsujimura at some point.

Tsujimura Isao's abnormal attitude made Tsujimura Kimie feel that something was wrong, and she was brewing some speculation deep in her heart.

Okubo Shinsuke is a senior reporter for the Nichimi Morning News and a member of the Isshinkai.

People over 30 are in the golden age for a journalist and are in the prime of life.

He lives up to his reputation as a senior journalist. Having worked for the Nikkei Shimbun for many years, he is a strong candidate for the next editor-in-chief. Whether in terms of qualifications or performance, Okubo Shinsuke is the most outstanding candidate for editor-in-chief.

According to his development process, after he turns 40, it is not impossible for him to aspire to the position of editor-in-chief of a newspaper.

Speaking of it, Shinsuke Okubo's background is very ordinary. Like other members of Isshinkai, he is a "three-no" person with no money, no power, and no background.

According to common sense, no matter how outstanding he is, being an editor-in-chief will be the end of his career in this life.

It is extremely difficult to go up further.

Fortunately, the existence of Isshinkai makes up for Okubo Shinsuke's "weakness". Although he has no background in the Nichimai Morning News, everyone in the newspaper knows that Okubo in the editorial department has some strange connections and can always interview first-hand news in other industries.

Sometimes being able to get first-hand news in a certain industry is not only a reflection of ability, but also a reflection of background. Most people only think that Okubo's background is not in the newspaper.

After joining Isshinkai, Okubo Shinsuke had the most comfortable days in recent years. He deeply understood that all the gifts from fate had already been marked with a price. In fact, Isshinkai can also do the same, and even do it better and more quickly.

But Shinsuke Okubo, a married man, didn't dare to ask the organization for money. This thing is more serious than gambling. When you ask for money for the first time, the organization will not tempt you like gambling, but will directly choose to force you with a gun.

There is no such thing as getting off the train halfway or suddenly coming to one's senses. When an organization suddenly comes to its senses, it means that the scythe of the god of death is approaching.

Depression, entanglement, and struggle were actually the main themes of Okubo Shinsuke's original life. The existence of the organization was like a shortcut in front of him, but at a huge cost, which was always tempting Okubo Shinsuke to take it.

If Okubo Shinsuke had not married and had no worries, he guaranteed that he would never be able to resist such temptation.

However, as he had a strong sense of family responsibility, he did not want to implicate his wife, nor did he want his child to be branded as a "second-generation gangster" after he was born.

It was at this time that Lin Longma suddenly appeared and cast a gray curtain over members like them in this dark organization.

Those who have joined the organization may never see the light of day again in their lifetime, but Okubo's demands are not high. He just hopes that the darkness of the organization will not infect his family.

Hayashi Ryoma did fulfill his promise and successfully provided a place for lonely souls like Okubo in the organization to settle down.

He also successfully blocked the darkness of the organization from himself.

Over the years, some people come and go, some are not satisfied with the gray covering their heads, and try to look directly at the sun. Unfortunately, the moment they see the sun, they are strangled by the darkness.

Some people are tainted by darkness in the shelter, and no one can stop them from leaving.

Okubo Shinsuke is different from the minority of Isshinkai. He just quietly protects his family and does his job conscientiously.

With Lin Longma as a link and the help of other Isshinkai members, he worked happily in the daily newspaper sales. As time went by, he also became the backbone of Isshinkai.

Until today, he received a task from Jintian, which was marked as [Urgent] by Jintian.

Okubo Shinsuke knew that all tasks marked as [Urgent] were issued directly by Brother Ryoma.

Although he is older than Lin Longma, Isshinkai members like them are willing to sincerely call Lin Longma "big brother".

The task details are sent to the mailbox of the Okubo organization. No deliberate operation is required, as the emails in the organization's mailbox are always burned after reading.

The information about Katsuragi Sachiko's biological father, Yamashiro Kenji, was packaged and sent to Okubo's work email address, and this information could be kept by Okubo Shinsuke.

As for the task requirements, it is to reveal this information to the medical student named Katsuragi Sachiko.

Okubo Shinsuke didn't know what impact this information would have on the girl named Katsuragi Sachiko, and even if he knew, he wouldn't really care.

Even if people who make a living in an organization do not want to be completely blackened, it does not mean that they are moral models or role models.

Sometimes they don't even have morals - they're just selfish people with ulterior motives.
