Tokyo Detective

Chapter 183 Childhood Sweethearts
At 8 o'clock, Naoki Hanyu processed the backup dashcam video before changing his clothes and going to the hotel for the class reunion.

He also did not want to use this video next time, as using public opinion as a civil servant might affect his promotion exam a week later.

In fact, Naoki Hanyu didn't care much about the treatment of the Hanyu mansion.

If someone wants to buy it, he can sell it, even if it's cheaper. If no one wants to buy it, he can keep it for himself. Anyway, he has the money to repair it. Even if the town government wants to cooperate in developing scenic spots, it's fine as long as he has the autonomy.

The most unacceptable thing is that they acted first and reported later, demolished Hanyu Naoki's mansion, and then forcibly bought his land. I'm not a fool, so how could I not guess the purpose of certain people.

According to the Basic Law for Promoting a Tourism-Oriented Nation, the Basic Law for the Promotion of Culture and Arts, and the Cultural Property Protection Law

Buildings that are more than 140 years old generally cannot be rated as cultural relics because there are so many century-old buildings in Japan. They must be at least 300 years old, and must also be considered based on the building's historical value, cultural significance, architectural art achievements, and its position in local or national history.

The Hanyu Mansion is a special one. It was built based on the Wakayama Castle, which is one of the most famous castles in Japan. It perfectly replicates the heritage of Wakayama Castle, and even the carvings, layout and other details are one-to-one.

Eight years ago, when the predecessor's father was still alive, Hanyu Castle had already passed the cultural relic inspection and was qualified to be rated as a cultural relic.

However, if it really becomes an architectural cultural relic, it will be a bit troublesome to live in. For example, if you want to start construction and change the layout, you have to submit an application to the higher authorities. My father thought it was not a good idea, so it has not really become a registered national cultural relic.

Naoki Hanyu walked into the only three-star hotel in Hidaka Town. The banquet hall where the class reunion was held was in a buffet style, and everyone had to register before entering.

The two women in charge of registration looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who they were.

It was obvious that the two women did not recognize Hanyu Naoki, after all, they had not seen him for nearly eight years.

"Excuse me, sir. What is your name? This is the reunion of Class 47, 3th grade, Higao High School."

"I am a student of Class 47, 3th Grade. My name is Hanyu Naoki."

"Naoki Hanyu?"

The two girls suddenly realized that they had heard that this classmate was a police officer in Tokyo, but they had never taken the initiative to find out more, so they did not recognize his appearance and did not know his position.

"So it's Naoki. I didn't recognize you after not seeing you for so many years. I was Eiko who sat two rows behind you. Do you still recognize me?"

Naoki Hanyu nodded with a smile.

"Of course I recognize her. She has become much more beautiful after not seeing her for many years."

"No, it's you, Naoki, who has become much more handsome."

Having said that, even if Naoki Hanyu heard the name, it would take him a few seconds to recognize it.

The two girls looked at Hanyu Naoki's handsome face and perfect figure and wanted to continue chatting, but there were classmates waiting to register behind them, so they ended the topic hastily.

Naoki Hanyu walked in and looked around. Although it was a class reunion, it was actually divided into several small circles. There were more than 30 people in the venue, and the majority of them were classmates who worked locally. They gathered together and talked and laughed.

Classmates who work outside will also get together with their old friends, and many familiar faces flash by.

But there was also a lone figure, Miki Nagase, who was looking for something to eat by herself. So Naoki Hanyu walked over. After all, he was almost the same, and many people couldn't remember his name.

"Asuka and Asuka haven't arrived yet?"

"They have something to do and will be here later."

As soon as I mentioned the devil, a woman with long blonde hair walked in. Her mixed-race face was very delicate, and her big eyes were like the bright starry sky. Most importantly, she inherited the genes from her white mother. She had a tall figure and was 1 meters tall.

She was wearing an ordinary black dress and had a pair of long and fleshy legs. Although she was about the same height as Yakushiji Ryoko, one was tall and slender while the other was plump.

Kudo Asuka, the daughter of the owner of the most famous restaurant in Hidaka Town, is said to have inherited the family business.

In Hanyu Naoki's memory, this woman's personality was that of a simple-minded and not very smart person, and she could also be described as optimistic.

One rainy day in junior high school, this woman forgot to bring an umbrella. In order not to get her clothes wet, she went home in her school swimsuit. Her predecessor was so scared that he hurriedly used an umbrella to send her home, and his own school uniform was wet.

Wearing a school swimsuit home would be very troublesome if the police saw it.

So this unintelligent woman started helping her father right after finishing high school. Her father, Kudo Akira, was once the head chef of a well-known restaurant in Little Britain. As for why she ran back to a small place like her hometown to open a shop, no one knows.

Naoki Hanyu didn't take the initiative to say hello. After all, they were just childhood sweethearts of his previous life, almost like strangers.

However, Asuka Kudo didn't think so. After greeting several familiar people warmly, she quickly noticed two familiar people sitting in the corner, especially one of them was her good friend since kindergarten.

Asuka Kudo trotted over with her eyes shining.

"Naoki, Miki."

A fragrant breeze blew in his face, and the next second a soft body hugged Hanyu Naoki. The fullness pressing on the chest was really big, E?

Asuka Kudo released the hug and looked at the familiar face happily.

"Naoki, it's been a long time since we last met. You've grown taller than me, and I almost didn't recognize you."

Hanyu Naoki was speechless, you rushed over without saying a word, you didn't look like you didn't recognize me.

"Same here, you're so beautiful, I almost didn't recognize you."

Kudo Asuka suddenly looked like I was unhappy.

"Humph, you left without saying anything for 8 years, and you didn't even leave your contact information. Hurry up and take out your phone so we can get in touch."

What can Naoki Hanyu do? In this woman's mind, the eight-year loss of contact seemed to have never existed. Perhaps this is why she can get along well with various circles.

"Yes, yes, remember this."

After sitting down again, Kudo Asuka continued to ask.

"I follow all your news. There really are 60 lives lost."

"No."

"But that's what the news and the video hosts said." "It's all fake."

"I never thought the news could be deceiving. It's great to eliminate evil and punish evil. Do you think I can be a police officer now?"

Naoki Hanyu glanced at the excited woman, his heart full of doubts. Can time really not erase the friendship with Asuka Kudo? It's really a strange thing.

I remember when my predecessor left 8 years ago, he cried and asked if he would come back. My predecessor did not answer at that time because he hated this land.

Naoki Hanyu reached out and touched Asuka Kudo's head, but she still had her eyes closed like a little rabbit. It was the same reaction as expected.

"No, you're so stupid that you'll probably never get promoted in your life."

Asuka Kudo's cheeks puffed up instantly and she retorted angrily.

"I'm not stupid. I have inherited my father's cooking skills perfectly. I am the best chef in Hidaka Town, no, in Gobo City."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Naoki Hanyu suddenly noticed that the other person's clothes had a lot of small stains. He thought he couldn't have come here without changing his clothes, as this was a class reunion.

"Are these not work clothes?"

"You figured it out. I just came here after finishing my work in the store. This stain is hard to wash off."

The three of them started chatting in a small circle. After Hanyu Naoki noticed that two familiar-looking men walked in, a group of local classmates surrounded them, and their tone of voice was somewhat flattering.

One of them sat at the table, holding the bottle in one hand and pouring wine for the people around him at random, spilling the wine on the tablecloth, and a group of men were cheering.

"Is that man Ushio Eiji?"

Asuka Kudo was eating French fries like a hamster.

"Yes, he is now the owner of the largest local construction company. He is responsible for all the construction and decoration of his father's real estate company. Others want to get a piece of the pie."

"Who is the other one?"

"Chino Naoto, someone I hate."

Hate? Chino Naoto?
I feel like I have never heard of this name, Naoki Hanyu. Is he from Class 3?

"I don't remember him."

"Of course you don't remember. He's from the class next door. His father became the new mayor five years ago. He also serves as the director of the Construction and Transportation Department at the town hall. Almost everything related to construction in Hidaka Town is influenced by their small circle."

A minister who is less than 26 years old is too young. Besides, collusion between officials and businessmen to monopolize a certain business is also a common thing in small towns.

At this moment, Naoto Chino noticed the blonde woman here, so he straightened his clothes and walked over to invite her.

"Asuka, do you want to sit over there?"

"No, I'll just sit here. Thank you for your invitation."

Chino Naoto reminded politely.

"I want to talk to you about your store being expropriated. Maybe we can get the maximum compensation if we discuss it together."

"My father will take care of the collection. Please don't worry about it."

"."

After being rejected repeatedly, Naoto Chino had no choice but to return to his small circle and tell the story, which caused laughter from the men around him.

Ushio Eiji also looked towards the corner and was surprised to see two old classmates whom he hadn't seen for several years. He had heard from his father about their experiences in Tokyo: one of them became a policeman and the other worked in a nightclub.

Moreover, these two people were people he cared about before. Naoki Hanyu was the son of the richest man in town at that time, and the two had conflicts before.

As for Miki Nagase, she used to be a class representative and Ushio Eiji used to like her quite a bit, but unfortunately she has already gone into the adult industry.

Just then a young man came in and consciously approached the local circle to toast, which Ushio Eiji despised.

"Asuka, have you come here after taking a shower? You smell like pig shit."

The man named Asuka didn't seem annoyed when he heard this, and continued chatting with other acquaintances until someone mentioned it. Then he looked to the corner and made eye contact with Hanyu Naoki.

Natsume Asuka was Naoki Hanyu's best friend in junior high and high school. They had fought together and peeked at the neighbor girls taking baths together. I heard that he has now taken over the family farm.

Asuka and Asuka actually have the same pronunciation, and few men have this name. I heard Natsume Asuka once said that his father hoped that he would be as free as Asuka. Unfortunately, Natsume Asuka's father fell ill 6 years ago, so he had to stay in the farm and take on the responsibilities of the family.

Naoki Hanyu took the initiative to say hello.

"Long time no see, Asuka."

"Naoki."

Natsume Asuka suddenly punched Hanyu Naoki lightly in the chest.

"You haven't received a single letter in all these years. If I hadn't seen the news a while ago, I would have thought you were dead."

"I'm sorry, you know my situation."

"."

Natsume Asuka was silent. He knew about his best friend's past, but unfortunately, as a minor, he could do nothing about it.

Naoki Hanyu patted the other person on the shoulder.

"Let's go over there and talk about men."
