Tokyo Detective

Chapter 40: Old Friends and Past Events

More than 20 minutes later, Daishi Yamada was taken away by the drug investigation team, and it was not too late to write the report when he went to work tomorrow.

Naoki Hanyu dusted himself off and seeing people around him looking at him with admiration, he couldn't help but feel that he was the one who should go to jail the most.

He hid nearly 1 grams of drugs in a year and also kept a small arsenal. Plus, he was framed for murder. Ten times of death would not be enough, right?
Just as Hanyu Naoki was leaving with a self-deprecating look, a woman called out to him.

"Naoki-kun, Naoki-kun."

Naoki Hanyu turned his head and saw a man and a woman standing not far away, and the woman was waving at him.

Who?
She looked familiar but I couldn't tell who she was. She was a beautiful woman who was worth looking at. The man she was with was also handsome, with a calm and quiet temperament, and his clothes were all high-end brand names.

"you are?"

The woman couldn't help but complain when she saw that her old friend didn't recognize her.

"Naoki-kun, although I haven't seen you for a few years, it's really too much to forget an old friend you've known for more than ten years. I'm Miki, Nagase Miki."

The name Miki Nagase finally reminded Naoki Hanyu of his previous life.

In the small town of Hidakagawa-cho, Gobo City, Wakayama Prefecture, there is a large house full of maple trees, and a scene of four young boys and girls catching insects in the mountains.

Among the four people were him and the woman in front of him, Miki Nagase.

The two of them lived in the same small town, their homes were not far from each other, they went to the same kindergarten, elementary school, and high school, and they could play together, so they could barely be considered childhood sweethearts, if not necessarily even good friends.

Of course, this relationship ended only when my predecessor left his hometown and came to Tokyo alone.

Naoki Hanyu habitually smiles cheerfully.

"It's Miki. I didn't recognize her after not seeing her for so many years."

Miki Nagase rolled her eyes at the other person. She recognized her childhood playmate at first sight, but didn't say much and began to introduce the man next to her.

"Naoki-kun, this is my friend Takemi Genichirō."

The two men greeted each other.

"Hello."X2
Miki Nagase suggested.

"We haven't seen each other for a few years, how about we go for a drink?"

Although Naoki Hanyu was a little reluctant, he agreed because they were his former friends.

Inside the restaurant, the three chatted for a while and got to know each other's situation roughly.

Miki Nagase is a top clothing designer, and Genichirō Takemi works for a family company called Takemi Steel Works.

When Naoki Hanyu heard the name, his expression became playful.

Because the interactions between Miki Nagase and Genichirō Takemi are quite intimate, like a couple, but they call themselves ordinary friends.

While introducing her identities, Miki Nagase seemed to be unaware of the meaning of Takemi Steel Plant, nor of Takemi Genichirō's family background.

Although the Takemi Steel Plant is an ordinary small steel processing plant, the Takemi Group is behind the factory, and the owner of the Takemi Group is the Takemi family.

A political family in Minato Ward that focuses on politics and secondary on business. It is also a T1 family in the whole of Tokyo.

There is a saying in Tokyo that people from Minato only marry people from Minato. This is the class barrier, just like the gap between the second ring road and other ring roads in Beijing.

Takemi Genichirō said calmly.

"The scene just now really made me envious, catching those scum with my own hands."

"You can also be a police officer. I believe that with Mr. Takemi's ability, you will definitely surpass me soon."

Takemi Genichirō shook his head.

"Being a police officer brings too many unexpected events. I just want to live a stable life. I heard that Mr. Hanyu was involved in the Tongque Tower case some time ago. Can you tell me more about it?"

"No problem at all."

The two were stunned by the thrilling experience, but a phone call told Takemi Genichirō to say goodbye and he handed over a business card before leaving.

"It's a pleasure to make friends with Mr. Hanyu. This is my business card. We can have a long chat next time." "Sure."

Naoki Hanyu put away the business card and sent a message on his mobile phone, asking someone to help investigate Takemi Genichirō's information.

At this moment, he can't be careless and easily make friends with a stranger.

Inside the restaurant, Miki Nagase was still talking about the past. When she talked about the time when they went up the mountain together, she couldn't help but smile sincerely.

We were so happy and carefree when we were children, unlike now when we worry about so many things.

"Naoki, I heard there will be a high school reunion some time ago, are you going?"

Naoki Hanyu answered self-deprecatingly.

"They won't invite me. After all, I'm a disaster."

"So you don't want to meet up with Asuka and Asuka?"

Asuka and Asuka, two young faces emerged, they were the other two children in the memory. One was the best friend of the predecessor since childhood, and the other was a true childhood sweetheart, and they had not been in touch for many years.

After a moment of hesitation, Hanyu Naoki agreed. The big house in the countryside couldn't be left empty forever, so he had to go back.

"Please inform me when the time comes."

"kindness."

A moment later, the two exchanged contact information, and Hanyu Naoki drove the other back to an ordinary apartment in Arakawa District.

Just as Miki Nagase walked up, Naoki Hanyu decided to mention it.

"Miki, did you know that Mr. Takemi is from Minato?"

Miki Nagase was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile.

"I know he and I are not what you think."

Upon seeing this, Naoki Hanyu didn't say anything more. Every family has its own problems.

Just now in the car, Miki Nagase briefly talked about her experiences in recent years, and the other party also listened to the experiences of Naoki Hanyu's predecessor.

Miki Nagase was originally a top student and was admitted to Keio University based on her own abilities.

I thought I could turn my life around and cross an insurmountable class.

Unfortunately, fate played a trick on her. Her father in her hometown lost his job and could no longer support her studies. She had to work hard to pay for her studies.

Unfortunately, an ordinary woman cannot afford the expensive tuition fees of Keio University. All expenses for a year are at least 500 million.

In the end, Miki Nagase dropped out of school in her junior year. As for what her part-time job was and what kind of job she did after dropping out of school, Naoki Hanyu did not ask.

In the empty car, Naoki Hanyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If he hadn't met an old friend today, he would have almost forgotten his past.

The Hanyu family was once a large family in Hidakagawa Town, and the predecessor did enjoy the life of a large family before he was 12 years old.

Unfortunately, things happen unexpectedly. When I was 12 years old, my grandfather, who was the head of the family, passed away, and the family business plummeted. In the same year, my grandmother, who was in power, also passed away, and my uncle succeeded me as the head of the family.

They originally thought that the death of their grandparents was just normal life, aging, illness and death. It was not until their uncle's family died in a car accident when they were 14 and their aunt died of illness when they were 15 that they realized that the Hanyu family was a cursed family.

My uncle and my cousin severed ties with the Hanyu family. When I was 16 years old, the parents of the new head of the Hanyu family died in a shipwreck.

In just 4 years, the large family of more than 10 people was reduced to only one person, and there was not much property left, only a large mansion occupying half of a mountain.

From the day of the funeral, the whole town regarded Hanyu Naoki as a jinx, and the Hanyu family became a taboo, enduring rejection and even hostility from everyone.

That’s why my predecessor came to Tokyo and hasn’t returned to his hometown for several years.

Naoki Hanyu rubbed his forehead.

"There are enough troubles already. Let's talk about it when we have time."
