Chapter 231 Questions (12)

The next day, July 3st.

The day before the exhibition officially opened.

After arriving at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, Akikawa Sosuke found that the atmosphere of the venue today was no different from the previous two days.

The staff members seen in the venue were all busy with their own things, just like yesterday and the day before.

There were no police officers seen inside the Tokyo Big Sight.

Nearing ten o'clock in the morning, the guests who were invited to participate in the interview gathered together again and prepared to start the final rehearsal.

But today is different from the previous two days.

Takashi Tsukino, the new department head and successor of Tsukino Company who had been absent from rehearsals, arrived at the scene.

But it’s different from what I saw on TV these days.

Takashi Tsukino looked a little haggard and listless today.

And he also wore a mask.

"Mr. Tsukino, are you okay?"

The host, Nakamura Haruna, looked at Tsukino Takashi with some concern and asked.

"It's okay. That damn Kaito Kidd made me not have a good rest for the past two days, and then I caught a cold today. Cough, cough!"

A dull cough sound came from under Takashi Tsukino's mask.

Although he seemed a little listless, he was full of energy when he mentioned Kaito Kidd.

"Mr. Tsukino, I think you should rest at home."

"Since Kaito Kidd won't be here until tomorrow, you should take advantage of today to recover your strength as soon as possible!"

Junior Seto Rin also said with concern.

Tsukino Takashi waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

Then he took the lead and walked to the table, sitting in the front and center position.

Nakamura Haruna and Matsumoto Kenichi sat next to Tsukino Takashi respectively.

This was the position that was decided from the beginning.

Takashi Nakano is the organizer of this exhibition and also the person who knows the gem "Scarlet Heart" best.

It also makes sense to sit in the center.

The main guests have already taken their seats, while secondary guests such as Akikawa Sousuke have returned to their seats at the back.

Rehearsals officially begin.

Due to the addition of Takashi Tsukino, the order in which the host asked questions changed slightly.

But even though Takashi Tsukino hardly participated in the rehearsal, whenever he was asked by Haruna Nakamura about the collection displayed on the screen, he was always able to tell the story about the collection very fluently.

Just like in the previous few days, junior student Seto Rin and luxury store clerk Amuro Toru were asked many questions by the host Nakamura Haruna.

Akikawa Sosuke, who came here just as a background board and had no relevant knowledge, only interacted with Nakamura Haruna twice in the whole morning.

Two hours passed quickly.

Soon it was time for lunch break.

Just like the previous two days, Akikawa Sosuke accepted Amuro Toru's invitation to lunch.

After ordering the food and waiting for lunch to be served, Toru Amuro once again started chatting with Sosuke Akikawa.

"Akikawa-kun, do you eat too little at noon every day?"

"As an artist, I feel that I would look better if I had a more symmetrical figure."

Amuro Toru said.

"I'm not in good health, so I can't eat too much."

Akikawa Kyousuke said to Toru Amuro.

"So that's how it is. That's really rude."

Toru Amuro showed a slightly surprised expression on his face, and he hurriedly apologized to Akikawa Sosuke.

"I always feel that Akikawa-kun is a little different from ordinary young artists."

"It seems that other young artists spend most of their time participating in activities and programs, or singing and performing to attract the attention of young people." "But Akikawa-kun, you are participating in this kind of work with very low exposure."

"I think it shouldn't be difficult to get those jobs with your looks, Akikawa-kun?"

Toru Amuro asked.

"I participated before, but I had bad luck. Every time I worked, it seemed like I would encounter a murder case, so gradually I couldn't get any good jobs."

Akikawa Sosuke made a helpless expression and sighed softly.

"Homicide?!"

A look of horror appeared on Toru Amuro's face again.

However, this expression of surprise did not stay on his face for too long, it was almost fleeting.

In fact, he had known all this for a long time, but when facing Akikawa Sorasuke, Amuro Toru deliberately acted as if he knew about it for the first time.

Akikawa Sosuke continued to speak because of Amuro Toru's reaction:

"For example, in my first job, that artist wanted to kill someone and frame me because he was jealous."

"If Detectives Mori and Sera hadn't been there at the time, I might have been considered the murderer."

"There is actually such a thing." Amuro Toru said in surprise, "In other words, you have encountered this kind of thing several times, Akikawa-kun? It's really unbelievable!"

"Yes, I once had an experience of being nearly killed by a doctor I didn't even know at a movie exhibition in Hong Kong."

"So what happened afterwards?"

"I was about to go find a doctor when Miss Yoko suddenly showed up and stopped me. I later learned that the doctor had been killed."

“There is such a thing.”

Amuro Toru exclaimed in surprise.

Just at this time, the lunch they ordered was served.

Akikawa Sosuke broke off his chopsticks and stopped looking directly at Amuro Toru.

He looked down at the food on the plate and picked up a piece of tomato.

"By the way, Mr. Amuro, are you doing other work?"

Akikawa Sosuke asked casually.

Toru Amuro was also shocked when he heard Akikawa Sorasuke's question.

However, he soon discovered that when Akikawa Sosuke asked this question, he did not look into his eyes, but was staring closely at the food on the plate.

It seems that Akikawa Sousuke did not want to confirm whether he was lying through his own reaction.

But Toru Amuro knew that Akikawa Sorasuke was more sensitive than ordinary people.

So even so, Toru Amuro did not let his guard down.

"I do have more than one part-time job. How did Akikawa-kun find out?"

Toru Amuro did not deny what Akikawa Sorasuke said, but instead asked.

"It was when Mr. Amuro suggested that I eat more that I realized that Mr. Amuro was in good shape and looked like he was exercising regularly."

"My body shape is just because I exercise regularly, it has nothing to do with other jobs I do."

Amuro Toru laughed.

"In addition to working as a clerk in a luxury store, I also work part-time in a coffee shop."

"If Akikawa-kun ever comes to our cafe, I can make you a sandwich."

Toru Amuro did not deny Akikawa Sorasuke's question.

If you deliberately conceal something that can be easily investigated, it will only make others feel something is wrong.

Sometimes, revealing a little bit of the truth can make the other person believe in you more.

As for his identity as a public security policeman and an undercover agent of the organization, there is absolutely no way Akikawa Sorasuke could know that.

"Is that so? Thank you so much!"

Akikawa Sosuke thanked Amuro Toru with a look of surprise.

Then he picked up a piece of beef with a fork and put it into his mouth.
