Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 44 42. The Referral of Tsujimura Isao
After all, the older you are, the wiser it gets. Soon, Kimie Tsujimura figured out why his daughter's attitude suddenly changed.

Although he still doesn't know Okubo Shinsuke's name and identity, Tsujimura Kimie has figured out how his daughter knew that her ex-husband was in prison.

After Tsujimura's analysis, although he felt it was unlikely, he finally concluded that the reporter who found Katsuragi Sachiko probably did it out of kindness.

There are always good and bad people in any group, and Kimie Tsujimura believes that Sachiko Katsuragi has obviously encountered the better part of the journalists.

But Tsujimura Kimie would rather Katsuragi Sachiko met a bad guy. If it was a bad guy, Tsujimura Kimie could refute the reporter's statement and free his daughter from pain.

But the reporter who found Sachiko Katsuragi didn't ask for anything, and handed over all the information he had worked so hard to interview and investigate to Sachiko Katsuragi. He even hid Tsujimura Toshimitsu's name at the beginning for Sachiko Katsuragi's sake.

Damn, I really met a good person.

It is indeed something worth celebrating that her daughter was not deceived, but the problem is that if her daughter was not deceived, wouldn’t it mean that the culprit who framed her ex-husband and caused his death was her own bedmate, Tsujimura Isao?

The smarter this person is, the more likely he is to overthink. After Tsujimura Kimie finally calmed down Katsuragi Sachiko and asked her not to act rashly for the time being, he returned to the Tsujimura home feeling exhausted.

On one side was her ex-husband who was wrongfully imprisoned and her daughter who was full of hatred, and on the other side was her husband who had lived with her for many years and her kind and gentle father-in-law. For a moment, Kimie Tsujimura really didn't know what to do.

The most annoying thing is that his stepson insisted on marrying his daughter. Takayoshi Tsujimura and Isao Tsujimura had no idea how many times they had quarreled over this.

If Takayoshi Tsujimura really married Sachiko Katsuragi, how lively their family would be in the future, Tsujimura Kimie couldn't even imagine.

After all, they are family members who have lived together for fifteen or sixteen years. How can there be no feelings between them after spending so much time together?
After sending his daughter back to school, Tsujimura Kimie returned home in a daze. As soon as he entered the house, he heard Tsujimura Isao and Tsujimura Takayoshi arguing in the living room.

The content of the quarrel between the two was nothing more than the matter of Katsuragi Sachiko. Tsujimura Isao obviously couldn't tell his son that it was your father and your father's father who sent your girlfriend's father to prison and even killed him there.

Then we can only find faults with Sachiko Katsuragi, but there is really nothing wrong with Sachiko Katsuragi.

Her looks, figure, and personality were all first-rate, and she was a medical student at Toudou Medical University, so her future was bright. The only thing she didn't have was her family background, but the problem was that Katsuragi Sachiko's own excellence was enough to cover her family background.

Moreover, although Katsuragi Sachiko's current adoptive parents are not rich, they are also a well-off family. She can only thank Tsujimura Kimie for his silent support over the years.

In short, Tsujimura Isao, who "had a lot of grievances to express", could not convince his son by presenting facts or reasoning, so he had no choice but to act like a patriarch.

However, Takayoshi Tsujimura, who had not decided to inherit the "family business", was disgusted by this the most, and the father and son parted ways unhappily.

"Hubby, forget it. It's not a good thing for you two to quarrel like this all the time."

Tsujimura Kimie quickly adjusted himself, and then took the opportunity to test Tsujimura Isao.

"Impossible, I will never let that woman in. Don't try to persuade me about this!" Tsujimura Isao's face was gloomy.

As a politician, and a politician who has invested in a candidate, Tsujimura Isao doesn't believe that anyone is perfect. The so-called perfection is just that you haven't discovered his or her shortcomings yet. Tsujimura Isao's patience has run out, and he now needs to find someone to help him discover Katsuragi Sachiko's shortcomings.

"I'm going to find someone to investigate her thoroughly! I just don't believe it." Tsujimura Isao paced back and forth in the living room, and finally said angrily.

When Tsujimura Kimie heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Originally, Katsuragi Sachiko was fine. She knew nothing and was naturally not afraid of being investigated.

In the end, the most they could find out was that Katsuragi Sachiko was actually her daughter - Tsujimura Kimie now knew that Tsujimura Isao's concerns were never because Katsuragi Sachiko was her daughter.

Instead, she was worried that Katsuragi Sachiko was not only the daughter of her, Tsujimura Kimie, but also the daughter of Yamashiro Kenji.

Tsujimura Isao was afraid that Katsuragi Sachiko had other purposes for marrying in - if it was really for revenge and the unrest in the family, then that would be gentle, but it was not impossible that the family would be destroyed!
"Honey, do you want to find a detective to investigate Miss Katsuragi?" Tsujimura asked in a pretentious manner.

"Well," Tsujimura Isao fell into the same trouble as Moriya Teiji. He was afraid that ordinary detectives would be useless and could not find the "dirt" he wanted.

It doesn't matter if they waste money, since they have taxpayers' money anyway, but it doesn't matter if they waste time. If they delay any longer, their son will secretly get married to that woman!
But if he finds a famous detective, Tsujimura Isao is afraid that the detective will make blind investigations. What if they find out something that shouldn't be found? What should he do then?
At this moment, Tsujimura Isao suddenly thought of the worried Teiji Moriya at a banquet some time ago.

Because Teiji Moriya grew up in the UK and has an overseas life background, and he is also a diplomat, they got along very well when chatting.

He had originally been thinking about asking Teiji Moriya to help design a new mansion - as long as the candidate he supported could come to power, the money for building the house, buying the land, and decorating it would all be just a small reward he deserved.

Back to the topic, out of curiosity, he asked Moriya Teiji what was troubling him. Moriya Teiji didn't give any specific details, but he complained a lot about famous detectives and detectives.

How similar were his worries at that time to my current self? But when we met again, Moriya Teiji seemed to have no signs of worries at all.

Perhaps, I could ask Teiji Moriya?
Thinking of this, Tsujimura Isao immediately said a few words to his wife, then took out his cell phone and found Moritani Teiji's number.

"Professor Moritani? I'm Tsujimura! No, no, no, it's not a party invitation. Actually, I've been having the same troubles as you lately.

That's right, it's about the detective agency and the famous detectives. You're right, the curiosity of those famous detectives is really annoying, but I have some things that I need to investigate that are not convenient to talk about."

"Yes, that's right, their curiosity is a disaster.

By the way, Professor Moriya, I see that you don’t seem to be bothered by this recently. Can I ask if you have any good solution?”

"Oh? There is such an outstanding consulting and investigation company? That's really great!
It doesn’t matter, price has never been an issue!
OK, OK, please send me their contact information and I will find time to visit them!"

After hanging up the phone, Tsujimura Isao looked at his phone in surprise. He didn't expect that the problem that had been bothering him would be solved just like that?
"Issin Consulting and Investigation Company?"

Isao Tsujimura looked at the text message sent by Teiji Moriya, entered the number on the call interface without hesitation, and pressed the dial button.
