……
"what did you say?"
In the teacher's office, Momonogi Eiko looked at the woman sitting in the office with disbelief. The other person was not only the head teacher of the grade, but also Kuroda Yoshiko's immediate superior.
"Ms. Momonogi, Kuroda asked for a long vacation from school a few days ago. The Academic Affairs Department has approved it. I don't know where she is now."
The Dean shook his head and continued, "Maybe she has already left for vacation. You can ask other teachers who have a good relationship with Kuroda."
After saying this, the dean sent Momonogi Eiji and Fujii Itsuki out of the office.
When she walked out of the teacher's office, Momonogi Eiko looked like she had lost her soul. She walked lightly and it seemed like she would fall down on the side of the road at any time.
She didn't give up and called Kuroda Yoshiko a few more times, but still no one answered.
"Beep beep..."
Holding the busy cell phone, Momonogi Eiko's heart was quickly filled with panic. She forced herself to remain calm and, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, drove Fujii Itsuki to the apartment where Kuroda Yoshiko lived.
"Boom!"
"Yoshiko, open the door!" Momonogi Eiko knocked hard on the door of Kuroda Yoshiko's apartment.
But after a few minutes, the door was still tightly closed, and no one seemed to want to open it from the inside.
Fujii Itsuki folded his arms across his chest and looked thoughtfully at Momonogi Eiko, who was moving impatiently.
"Click." The sound of a door lock turning was heard in the air.
However, it was not Kuroda Yoshiko's apartment door that was opened, but the door of the neighbor on the other side who was unable to bear the disturbance.
"Stop filming. Are you looking for Ms. Kuroda Yoshiko from this store?"
In Japan, disturbing others is a serious misconduct, and it is very easy for the police to come to your door after you call the police. So the neighbor who opened the door at this time was full of anger.
"Let's go, she checked out and moved out yesterday!"
"Boom!" The neighbor's impatient voice was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue to Momonogi Eiko, and the fuse called "suspicion" in her heart was further ignited.
"Excuse me, where did she move to?" Momonogi Eiko asked with a frown, trying not to panic.
"How would I know."
"It seems like he went to a very far place, but it's not in Tokyo."
"Bang——" The door was closed again, making a bang sound.
It seemed as if a crack appeared in Momonogi Eiko's heart, and then the crack quickly spread like a spider web until her heart was broken into several pieces.
The phone calls were unreachable, I had to take a long vacation for no reason, and I had to move out of Tokyo...
These clues strung together burned out the last bit of fantasy in Momonogi Eiko's heart.
Her eyes went dark and she almost fainted on the spot.
……
On the way home, Momonogi Eiko was absent-minded and almost drove the car into a ditch on the side of the road.
There was only one thought left in her mind.
"A full 100 million..."
"Gone! All gone!"
"Click."
The white Honda drove into Fujii's house safely. Momonogi Eiko unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car with her weak legs, holding on to the door.
Fujii Itsuki kept a calm face throughout the whole process and did not interfere with any of Momonogi Eiko's actions. Because he didn't care about the process, he only cared about the result.
But now, the results seem to be obvious.
"The lawyer from Xincheng said, how many years will be sentenced for embezzlement of property?"
"I think it's about two to five years..."
When I opened the door of Fujii's house, what came into view was a girl standing at the entrance with tears in her eyes, as if she had cried many times.
"Onii-chan, I..."
Before Shimizu Ai could finish her words, her eyes suddenly caught sight of Momonogi Eiko behind Fujii Itsuki.
"mom, Mom, Mom……"
Chapter 127 Recognize the reality
"Onii-chan has gone to look for her mother after all..."
Looking at Fujii Itsuki and Momonogi Eiko walking into Fujii's house one after another, Shimizu Ai froze in place, not knowing what she should do for a moment.
"What should I do? Will Onii-chan send mom to jail?"
"After all, this is unforgivable..."
Her heart suddenly became conflicted, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Momonogi Eiko, who was absent-minded the whole time, didn't pay attention to the tears on her daughter's face. She reached out and rubbed Shimizu Ai's soft hair, and said softly: "Ai, you go to Ono's house for a while. Mom and Xiaoshu have something to talk about."
"Mom will call you when dinner is ready."
"Go quickly." Momonogi Eiko couldn't help but urge, obviously not wanting to involve her younger daughter, Shimizu Ai.
"Mom..." Shimizu Ai looked up at her mother Momonogi Eiko, and then looked at Fujii Itsuki who was silent beside her.
She knew that if she asked for mercy from Onii-chan at this moment, it would only make the other party more disgusted.
This was no longer something she could handle.
"Oh...Nissan..." Shimizu Ai didn't dare to use the intimate name again, but changed to the more formal "Nissan".
Hearing her timid voice mixed with embarrassment, Fujii Itsuki raised his eyelids slightly.
"Listen to Aunt Momonogi and go stay at Ono-san's house for a while."
"You are not allowed to come back unless I call you, got it?"
"Yes..." After Fujii Itsuki finished speaking, Shimizu Ai pursed her pink lips, looked at Fujii Itsuki to the left, looked at her mother Momonogi Eiko to the right, then put on her shoes and left home, looking back every few steps.
She couldn't find a way to prevent her mother from going to jail, nor could she predict what her and her sister Shimizu Rin's future life would be like without her mother.
Shimizu Ai looked depressed, as if an invisible big hand was tightly squeezing her heart.
After all, I am still just a little kid who has not grown up, just like when my mother brought me from Kanagawa Prefecture to Tokyo without knowing why.
"boom--"
The door of Fujii's house was closed again, and the living room returned to peace.
"Xiaoshu..." After taking off her sunglasses and mask, Momonogi Eiko's slender hands trembled, as if she was not brave enough to face the young man standing upright at the entrance.
"Aunt Momonogi, can you explain why you have to travel all the way to Bunkyo District to look for someone?" Fujii Itsuki folded his arms across his chest and looked at her with a calm expression.
"Borrow money?"
"But it's more like debt collection, and the person who owed money to my aunt seems to have packed up and run away."
Hearing Fujii Shu's guess, which was almost correct, Momonogi Eiko's delicate body trembled slightly, and she said with trembling lips: "Xiaoshu, the money... the money is indeed gone..."
"what money?"
"I invested 54 million yuan in stocks..."
"Loss?" Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"It's not that I lost money... it's that..." Momonogi Eiko tried to remain calm. "I was swept away by Yoshiko..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was like a punctured balloon, falling into panic as the air gradually deflated. Her whole body became limp and she couldn't muster any strength at all.
“He was swept away?!”
Fujii Itsuki was stunned for a moment, then his brows suddenly frowned.
His first reaction was "telecom fraud" or "pig killing scheme."
Japan is the first place where "telecom fraud" started in Asia. The entire East Asian fraud organizations originated in Japan and then gradually spread to the surrounding countries.
As for the "pig killing scheme", Japanese stock investors who have experienced the economic bubble are no strangers to it.
Whether it is a "scam" or a "pig killing scheme", they all have one thing in common, that is, once the money is gone, don't even think about getting it back!
Especially in Asia where fraud cases are frequent, the probability of successfully recovering the amount is extremely small, and may not even exceed 30%!
"Aunt Momonogi means..." Fujii Itsuki's face was gloomy, as if water was about to drip out.
"You've been dragging your feet on returning the family property because you used all of my 50 million to invest in stocks and were ready to take a gamble!"
"Little...little tree..."
"sorry!"
"Plop--" Momonogi Eiko's slender legs wrapped in black stockings bent again, her knees pressed heavily on the ground, her upper body crawling on the ground, the standard posture of prostrating oneself to apologize.
"Even if you make money from stock trading, don't you know that if you embezzle other people's property for your own profit, your illegal gains will be confiscated?"
Fujii Itsuki grabbed the collar of Momonogi Eiko's OL shirt and forced her to look at him.
"Not to mention that you, a fool, were deceived!" He pushed Momonogi Eiko's shoulder hard, and because the force was too great, the buttons of Momonogi Eiko's shirt on her chest were immediately torn open.
"I..." Hearing Fujii Itsuki's words of blame, Momonogi Eiko bit her pink lips, and a layer of fine sweat seeped out of her fair forehead.
"Xiao Shu, please...please don't call the police first!"
Momonogi Eiko bent her beautiful body, crossed her hands, and pressed her forehead on the back of her hands.
"I know the home addresses of Liangzi's parents and relatives. I promise that the money can be recovered!"
If she calls the police, whether the money can be recovered is another matter, but the fact that she used insider stock information to make profits will definitely be discovered by the police.
She didn't know how many years she would be sentenced for misappropriating family property, but as she was also charged with illegally profiting from stock market information, she would definitely be locked up in prison for the rest of her life!
"What if the Yoshiko you are talking about has already severed ties with her family or was kicked out of the house?" Fujii Itsuki said suddenly.
Hearing these words, Momonogi Eiko remained prostrating herself, but her pupils could not help but tremble.
It seems that Liangzi hasn't been home for several years...
"From the beginning to the end, Aunt Momonogi was too self-righteous and thought that everything was under her control!"
Every word Fujii Itsuki said was heart-piercing, and he bluntly exposed the arrogance in Momonogi Eiko's heart.
"You think you can get away with hiding the will? You think you can turn the tables by investing all your money in the stock market with the illegal proceeds?"
"In the final analysis, Aunt Momonogi has been living too smoothly these past few years by stealing my life. It's like a dream!"
"Pa--" Fujii Itsuki threw the lawsuit paper in front of Momonogi Eiko with a "pa" sound.
"Now, the dream is over, it's Aunt Momonogi's turn to face reality!"
Chapter 128 Multiple choice questions
Looking at the lawsuit lying quietly in front of her, which could decide the rest of her life, Momonogi Eiko's brain seemed to have crashed, and everything went blank in an instant.
What followed was the fear that went straight into the soul!
When she thought about having to spend several years in a dark prison, Momonogi Eiko shivered uncontrollably.
Not to mention, after being released from prison, she will have to face a terrible life again with a criminal record.
Although Japan's criminal law does not impose high penalties, society's tolerance for people with criminal records is close to zero.
Even dishwashers in restaurants won’t hire people with criminal convictions.
Momonogi Eiko has arrogance and pride in her bones. When she thinks about the future when she is released from prison, her reputation will be ruined, and she will be looked down upon by relatives and friends as a labor camp prisoner, and can only work daily wages in a decadent way with no hope, she feels almost numb.
Negative emotions such as panic and fear followed one after another, like wind and waves, one wave higher than the other, drowning Momonogi Eiko's entire body and mind.
If she could still hold on to hope before, thinking that everything would be fine as long as she paid back the 50 million, now, Momonogi Eiko felt fear and terror about the future from the bottom of her heart.
"boom--!"
"I'm sorry, little tree..."
Under the tremendous pressure, Momonogi Eiko's forehead was pressed tightly against the ground, her soft shoulders trembling, like a frightened stray dog running away with its tail between its legs. There was no trace of the stern section chief or the cold aunt at all.
