My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

"Impossible. This house was built by my father's generation. It took a long time to install the door on the third floor."

"Continuing to install surveillance cameras inside the house would be a grave offense."

Surprisingly, Junta Kuniyoshi was a very filial son, but the person he was filial to had already passed away.

He probably wanted to find some peace of mind, since he's already quite scared.

"In that case, I know I'll likely have to stay here tonight."

Takayanagi Ichiro didn't say much more, only that he wanted to stay there, and Kunimoto Junta and Kunimoto An'ei didn't object.

Because they now know that Ichiro Takayanagi is a very capable person.

So leaving Takayanagi Ichiro here might speed up the process of solving the case.

After dinner, Kuniyu Junta and Kuniyu An'ei went upstairs again, because only there did they feel safe.

As for Takayanagi Ichiro, he found a butler.

"Butler, would you be willing to tell me about that maritime disaster thirteen years ago?"

Gao Liu didn't beat around the bush; instead, he directly questioned the butler. This kind of surprise attack was the best way to gather more information.

Chapter 696 Are you doubting Brother Shengshi?

Kenzo Akatsuka looked quite surprised, not expecting that Ichiro Takayanagi would be able to get information about what happened thirteen years ago from Junta Kunitomo and An'ei Kunitomo.

It seems that Ichiro Takayanagi and Junta Kunitomo are really in big trouble, otherwise they wouldn't have brought up the shipwreck from thirteen years ago.

It's important to understand that although Junta Kuniyoshi and Yasuo Kuniyoshi made proper arrangements for the families of the victims, they also had their own thoughts.

However, there was no evidence to prove this, so they continued to work here peacefully.

"Mr. Takayanagi, what would you like to know?"

Kenzo Akatsuka showed no panic. Instead, he calmly asked Ichiro Takayanagi what he wanted to know.

"Tell me what you know. I'm just curious about that accident from more than ten years ago."

The fact that Takayanagi Ichiro was recommended by the detective suggests that he must have some shortcomings in his reasoning abilities.

Therefore, Kenzo Akatsuka would not believe what Junta Kunitomo said.

However, Kenzo Akatsuka had no ulterior motives, so he immediately recounted what he knew.

Kenzo Akatsuka was not on the ship at the time; all they knew was from Junta Kunitomo and An'ei Kunitomo.

After listening, Takayanagi Ichiro did not directly state his conclusion, but instead asked Akatsuka Kenzo for information about Sekiguchi Michitoshi.

"We don't know much about what Mr. Sekiguchi said, because he is a friend of the lady and doesn't have much of a relationship with us staff members."

However, before that voyage, Mr. Sekiguchi was just an ordinary employee of their company.

However, after that maritime accident, the person in charge of their company simply disappeared, so he naturally became the family planning talent who had developed to where he is today.

Kenzo Akatsuka didn't know much about it; it was basically the same as what Kuniyoshi Yasuie had said before.

After all, he was just someone who worked here, and he wasn't good friends with Michitoshi Sekiguchi.

"So, are most other people in the same situation as you?"

As a butler, Kenzo Akatsuka naturally understood what Ichiro Takayanagi meant, so he immediately gave his approval.

"Mr. Takayanagi, if you want to sow discord among our staff, that is absolutely impossible."

Even though we have many suspicions about that accident, we don't have any leads, so we won't do anything like that.

In fact, Kenzo Akatsuka, the butler, had some doubts about his own people in the past.

However, he didn't continue speculating because he believed that the people in this family wouldn't do such a thing.

Now that someone as professional as Ichiro Takayanagi has arrived, he has also developed a series of doubts about his own people, so Kenzo Akatsuka believes that this is the right thing to do.

If Ichiro Takayanagi hadn't had this suspicion, Kenzo Akatsuka would have doubted Ichiro Takayanagi's personal abilities.

However, Kenzo Akatsuka needs to remind Ichiro Takayanagi that doubting one's own people will not lead to much progress.

“I will handle these things myself. I’ll ask you, Mr. Butler, for details.”

If I go to the chef, his mother, or the driver to inquire about the incident from over ten years ago, will they resist?

The fact that Takayanagi Ichiro was able to ask him such a question meant that he still respected the rest of the people, which relieved Akatsuka Kenzo.

If Ichiro Takayanagi really intends to ask everyone this directly, Kenzo Akatsuka will definitely have to reconsider whether Ichiro Takayanagi is suitable for this case.

"I suggest you don't ask Ms. Katsufumi Cotton and Ms. Shigeko, because they don't want to recall what happened back then."

You could ask Bo Hua; he's always wanted to know the truth.

"Thank you very much."

After the old man finished speaking, he walked straight out of the restaurant.

...........

In the courtyard outside, Senzaki Naka gazed at a large tree.

The moonlight is very bright tonight, but Senzaki Namika is all alone and seems very lonely.

However, Ichiro Takayanagi noticed that a gaze was fixed on Nami Senzaki, from a rather hidden position.

It was definitely not Senzaki Namika's mother, or the driver she had contact with today.

The lady's friend, Sekiguchi Michitoshi, did not come over, which means there is another person hiding in this house, and this person has some connection with Senzaki Namika.

"Miss Bohua, you're just staring blankly at this big tree in the yard."

It must be something that happened to you when you were a child, and it's probably related to this big tree.

Takayanagi Ichiro's voice came from behind Senzaki Namika, startling her.

However, after listening to what Senzaki Namika said, Senzaki Namika had to admit that Takayanagi Ichiro's reasoning ability was indeed quite impressive.

"Mr. Takayanagi, you are right."

I have a fear of heights, which stems entirely from a time when I was a mischievous child and fell from this tree. Ever since then, I've been afraid to stand in high places.

Perhaps because Ichiro Takayanagi deduced some of her current feelings, Namika Senzaki was willing to have more conversations with him.

"Is it related to that driver?"

"You can tell that?"

Senzaki Namika was completely stunned. Was the detective really that amazing?

"When I came here today, I saw you and the driver talking privately, so I think your relationship is unusual."

Furthermore, I learned about the maritime disaster thirteen years ago, which further solidified my suspicion.

Takayanagi Ichiro immediately brought up the shipwreck from thirteen years ago, causing Senzaki Namika to turn around and stare intently at him, asking:

"Mr. Takayanagi, did you ask that question to the butler?"

"No, it was the master and mistress here who told me first, and then I found out more from the butler."

To the surprise of Senzaki Namika, the fact that she learned the information from the master and mistress was somewhat unexpected.

Because a long time ago, the master and mistress had given an order not to talk about the accident thirteen years ago anymore, and now it's starting with them.

"What could I do to help? At that time, I was sick, so my mother stayed behind to take care of me and didn't go on the ship with me."

"Miss Nippon Hana, could you tell me more about the driver?"

"Are you doubting Brother Mian Yingsheng?"

Chapter 697 Twins Commit Crimes Using One Identity

It's clear that although Senzaki Namika had some complaints about Watanabe Katsufumi during the meal, believing that he shouldn't do things that were so strong and obsessive about cleanliness, she still addressed Watanabe Katsufumi very kindly.

This is enough to show that the people who worked in that house at the time had a very good relationship.

Moreover, Senzaki Naka is a smart girl. After Takayanagi Ichiro inquired about the driver's situation, she immediately realized that Takayanagi Ichiro suspected Watanabe Katsufumi.

“I didn’t mean that at all. I was just learning about it in order. For example, I learned about Miss Nami from the butler.”

Ichiro Takayanagi gave a perfect explanation to Senzaki Namika's question.

Senzaki Namika hoped that the detective Takayanagi Ichiro could solve the strange things happening in this house as soon as possible, so she believed Takayanagi Ichiro's explanation.

"In that accident, my eldest brother lost two of his relatives."

One is his father, who used to be a driver at this estate and also a captain when he went out to sea.

Another one is his younger brother, who is his twin.

At the time, due to certain circumstances, my older brother did not go aboard the ship.

So his twin brother took his place, not expecting to lose another person.

If you really want to doubt your elder brother, then I think you're absolutely on the wrong track.

The eldest brother was quite grateful to the master and mistress, after all, his memory wasn't very good.

A notebook is always needed to keep things running smoothly, and under normal circumstances, such a person cannot be a driver.

However, the master and mistress did not look down on him. Instead, they allowed him to inherit his father's position and continue to work as a driver on the estate. They did not make things difficult for him in any way.

I don't think anyone on our estate would do such a thing; it must have been done by someone from outside."

Senzaki Namika didn't want anything unexpected to happen to Watanabe Katsufumi, so she directly stated her reasoning, but it didn't get Takayanagi Ichiro's approval.

"They're twins, can't there be any difference between them?"

Takayanagi Ichiro asked a rather pointed question, and Senzaki Namika remained silent for a moment before giving her answer.

“There is a big difference between them. The older brother’s younger brother caught me when I fell from the tree, and he has a big scar on his left hand.”

At first, I thought the person who approached me was the eldest brother, but later I found out that the person who caught me was the eldest brother's younger brother.

The reason why Senzaki Namika is looking at the trees in the courtyard at this time is probably because she is thinking of some things from the past.
