Cao Deng realized that this was one of the few times his daughter had made a request of him, so he immediately made a decision: "Okay, no problem! Dad will take three days off to go with you."

Grandpa Shi nodded in agreement: "Yes, son, you should spend those three days with your granddaughter."

A smile appeared on Hui's face, then, as if remembering something, her expression turned dejected: "Old man, old man, you're already so busy with work, and the noodle shop can't do without you. Perhaps I should just go by myself!"

"No! X3"

All three objected, and even Misa, who usually sided with her husband, refrained from objecting.

The psychological trauma Hui suffered from being kidnapped was too great for them.

"Actually, I didn't go alone. I was picked up and dropped off by editor Mao Aoki both ways, and she accompanied me throughout the whole process. There were no problems."

"It's still not okay. It's too dangerous for someone to go to such a far place alone!" Cao Deng still disagreed.

Misa rarely voiced her opinion: "Keiya, no matter how responsible Editor Mao Aoki is, it's still just her job. Why don't you let your mother go with you?"

"No way!" Grass Lamp quickly refused.

Are you kidding me? You want Misa to come along?!

Buy one get one free?

However, it is currently the peak tourist season with a large influx of visitors, and the noodle houses are indeed inseparable from the straw lanterns and stone figures, and even Misa cannot be separated from them.

"How about we close the noodle shop for three days?" Ishito Wagatsuma suggested in the end.

Hearing her grandfather say that, Hui went from feeling dejected to determined, and then made up her mind: "No, I think I'd better not go! After thinking about it carefully, it's better to stay at home."

As she spoke, a hint of sadness still lingered in her beautiful eyes.

Hui secretly smiled to herself, feeling that she had everyone figured out.

Seeing their daughter's (granddaughter's) sad expression, no one felt like eating.

Cao Deng was caught in a dilemma: on the one hand, the noodle shop really couldn't be without someone, but on the other hand, if he closed the noodle shop to stay with his daughter, she would feel guilty.

Hui lowered her head and, seeing that the situation was about right, suggested, "How about we ask Fujiki-kun from next door to come with me?"

Soto knew that Kei and Kouta were in a romantic relationship, and he only found out from his wife when they went to bed at night.

When I heard the news, my first reaction was, "No way!!"

My daughter is so innocent and kind; she must have been fooled by that brat next door.

That wretched brat!

No, I have to have a serious talk with my daughter. I need to make her see these boys for who they really are and dump them.

However, just as Soto was about to get up, Misa stopped him.

Seeing her husband like this, Misa knew exactly what he was up to.

So she explained to her husband that being in a relationship might help their daughter overcome her previous psychological trauma... and so on.

Hearing this, Cao Deng tossed and turned several times before finally lying back down in bed.

I'm just heartbroken. The thought of my daughter possibly being deceived by that man is like a knife to my heart...

Hearing her daughter say this, suggesting that the brat accompany her, Caodeng immediately rejected the idea, but since she couldn't say it outright, she could only say indirectly, "It wouldn't be good to trouble them like that!"

Upon hearing this, Misa suddenly realized that all along, her daughter just wanted to go on a date with her boyfriend!

Misa looked at Hui with a wronged and disappointed expression, as if to say, "Silly daughter, you made your mother worry, all my love for you was for nothing!"

Hui felt a little uneasy under Misa's gaze and didn't dare to look into Misa's extremely aggrieved and disappointed eyes. She answered Soto awkwardly, "No, I often help Kouta with his homework problems. He owes me a lot of favors!"

Hui, without batting an eye, completely sold out Gengtai.

"Just agree to let her go! I think Fujiki-kun is a good person, so there shouldn't be any problem with him accompanying our daughter." Misa, who ultimately felt sorry for her daughter, chimed in.

Misa doesn't object to her daughter dating, and watching her daughter grow up is a mother's happiness.

Kusaburo looked at his wife with a troubled expression: "You know what I'm worried about. Oh well, you can explain to our daughter later."

What Misa could discover, Kusaburo could also discover; in the end, it turned out that this was what his daughter meant.

From a rational perspective, having an editor plus a male colleague is sufficient for safety.

Although emotionally, Soubi couldn't accept letting his daughter be alone with a boy, seeing his daughter's smile now reminded him of the time when his daughter was covered in blood and unconscious in front of him. Reluctantly, Soubi finally agreed.

After the matter was brought to a perfect conclusion, Caodeng continued drinking with Shiren.

Hui Tingcao Deng was puzzled by what she heard. What did she mean by 'worrying about what'?

Is the adult world really that complicated?

I just can't figure it out!!

······

Misa didn't come to Kei's room until it was almost time for bed.

Meisha sat on the edge of the bed with her daughter, and said earnestly, "Daughter, you must take care of yourself when you're with boys. You can't do that kind of thing. You're still young... Boys at this age have a lot of hormones... If you really need to... use your hands... or if that doesn't work... use your mouth..."

As Hui listened, when her mother mentioned 'that matter,' the experienced Hui immediately understood what her mother meant, and her cheeks flushed.

Misa talked for a long time, looked at her daughter's flushed face, smiled, patted her daughter's head, and then left.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm a bad girl. I've done all the things you said I shouldn't do."

As Hui watched Misa's departing figure, she silently felt guilty.

Chapter 133 New Domain Mystery

Let's go back to one day ago.

Date: August 14th;

Location: New Territory.

The new area is right next to western Tokyo.

The roads connecting the two are extensive.

This area is also under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office Special Investigation Department.

Masaki Zen had been in charge of a strange case in the new area for several months.

The case itself wasn't particularly strange.

Neon Spire Pharmaceuticals has developed a new drug called Agulas.

However, Sperry violated pharmaceutical laws, and his new drug, Agulhas, was suspected of exaggerated advertising. In order to make the drug appear to be more effective than it actually was, Sperry illegally commissioned a university to submit false research results.

The prosecutor's office discovered suspicious activity, and the headquarters of the Japanese Spiri Pharmaceuticals in Ochanomizu was forcibly searched.

Throughout the process, the prosecutor's office directly seized more than 700 boxes of documents and files at the headquarters of Spiri Pharmaceuticals.

While reviewing and verifying documents to try to find evidence that Spiley Pharmaceuticals provided benefits to the four universities.

During this process, Masaki Zen discovered a strange document.

The document was only the size of an A4 sheet of paper, with dried bloodstains in one corner.

Masaki Zen initially thought the document was just one A4 sheet, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that it consisted of two sheets of paper tightly glued together.

Masaki Zen carefully tore the two pieces of paper apart.

Even his deputy, Wenxu Houyan, was startled by the scene before him.

"What's this?!"

All that could be seen on the document were strange bloodstains mixed with hair and skin, and the Latin letter "F" covering an entire side of the paper.

How can one write something like this?

Masaki Zen and his deputy Fumio Atsuhiko couldn't help but have the same thought.

After a long while, Masaki Zen turned the document over and looked at the back of it:

"Kawasaki University of Medicine...San Rafaela Medical School...Clinical Trial of Hypnotic Drugs...Attending Physician...Nobu Inaba..."

Seeing this, Seisaki Zen understood that something must have happened to the doctor named Inaba Shin, and he had most likely met with misfortune.

However, this matter is unrelated to the Spiri drug incident. As a prosecutor, I shouldn't handle such matters myself; I should leave it to the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, filled with doubts, Zen Masaki wanted to know the truth of the matter, so he drove to St. Raphael Medical University to investigate Shin Inaba.

Upon arriving at San Rafaela University of Medicine, the receptionist informed me that Dr. Shin Inaba of the Anesthesiology Department had taken leave the previous day.

First came the bizarre document F, and then the person involved 'coincidentally' took leave. Even an ordinary person, let alone a prosecutor, would feel that there must be something fishy going on.

Seisaki Zen decisively left St. Raphael Medical School and drove to Inaba Shin's residence: Tama Center Luxury Apartments.

Following the address given to Nobuo Inaba by the receptionist, I arrived at the door of room B23 on the 13th floor of Tama Center.

I knocked on the door repeatedly, but there was no response.

Masaki Zen's deputy, Fumio Atsuhiko, wanted to give up and call the police to investigate, but Masaki Zen keenly heard faint classical music coming from Inaba Nobuya.

When they called the apartment manager to open the door, the scene inside left them speechless.

Inaba Shin lay naked on the massage chair, a device of some kind on his head, a blissful smile on his face, his mouth slightly open, drool dripping from his chin...

Upon seeing such a bizarre scene, Masaki Zen and his companions promptly called the police.

Later, police investigated the scene: there were no signs of struggle in the room or on the deceased, and a suicide note was also found at the scene…

The police ultimately determined that the deceased committed suicide by anesthesia.

However, Masasaki Zen remembered that Inaba Shin had filled that document with "F"s, and that he had taken leave without reason before.

Masaki Zen, who has worked as a prosecutor for many years, felt that things were not so simple and that this was very likely a murder disguised as a suicide.

Masaki Zen told his friend, Inspector Kujiin Shi, at the Tama East Central Police Station about his investigation.

Although Kujiujiu-in-shi usually seems indifferent, he is very talented, and the two were classmates in college.

After reading the document full of "F"s that Seisaki Zen sent him, he immediately realized that things were not so simple and began to help Seisaki Zen investigate.

Following the network of contacts that Shin Inaba had before his death, Zenko Masasaki discovered something suspicious:

Two months ago, a man and a woman suddenly began to frequently contact Inaba Shin. A few days before Inaba Shin died, they suddenly disappeared and never appeared again.
