"Shh, be gentle~" Sanjiao Chuhua raised his sunglasses and then quickly straightened them. His violet eyes flashed before Baichuan Qing's eyes. "I didn't expect to be recognized by a fan. Can I say you're my fan?"

"Okay." Shirakawa Haru nodded.

The leaves trembled in the wind. The street gradually darkened, and the shadows of the trees on both sides deepened, turning the leaves a dark green, making them difficult to see through.

The lights in the city are still bright, but the night is indeed getting darker as time goes by.

Suddenly, a burst of car horns blared from a nearby intersection. The traffic light at the intersection seemed to be broken, and then there was a traffic jam and even louder horns.

A puff of smoke blew past the front of the car. It was the first mist of the night, which quickly spread along the body of the car.

The vehicles stuck at the intersection turned on their lights at the same time, instantly illuminating the location where many musicians were performing, and also illuminating Shirakawa Haru's face.

In the light, Sanjiao Chuhua saw Shirakawa Haru's face. The lighting at this roadshow location was not very good. Although a lot of artificial light from the surrounding area could be used to illuminate some areas and achieve a certain degree of stage effect, the dim face could not be seen clearly with this little light.

What's more, when Sanjiao Chuhua looked at Baichuan Qing just now, the light was against her, and a thick, flowing gray film covered his face, making it impossible for her to see clearly.

The person playing the bass is the one next to Xiangzi...Shirakawa Haru?

This time, Sanjiao Chuhua took off his sunglasses completely from his face and looked at Shirakawa Haru's face for a long time.

The big boy in front of her had a pair of charming and deceptive fox eyes. His face was as delicate as a girl, very delicate, with a high nose bridge and thin lips, but the color was very bright, full of neutral beauty.

Yes, he is Shirakawa Haru, Sankaku Hatsuka thought.

She once accidentally saw Shoko Toyokawa and Haru Shirakawa walking home side by side after school, and she took a photo of Shoko Toyokawa.

Afterwards, she used her own methods to collect the recent information about Toyokawa Shoko, and also collected the information about Shirakawa Haru.

After all, her favorite friend had disappeared for a year, and she was very worried.

The information she collected told her that Toyokawa Shoko was very likely in a relationship with Shirakawa Haru.

But if that’s the case, then who was that silver-haired girl with heterochromic eyes?

The information collected at the time did not mention that there was such a girl with him, and she acted too close to Shirakawa Haru.

Did Xiangzi know that there was such a close little girl beside Shirakawa Haru? If Xiangzi knew, it would be fine. If he didn't know...

Moreover, this silver-haired girl looks too young, as if she is not even a high school student. Could she be... a junior high school student?

Sanjiao Chuhua is naturally sensitive to these things.

This girl is definitely not very old!

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." Sanjiao Chuhua put on his sunglasses again. At this time, the malfunctioning traffic light began to work normally, and the congested intersection was quickly cleared within a few minutes. "I can't just let you know my name."

"Shirakawa Haru." Shirakawa Haru said, "Colors, mountains, stars. Shirakawa Haru."

"Well, I understand what the characters are. It's a nice name." Sanjiao Chuhua said.

"Thank you, your name is nice too." Baichuan Qing also praised Sanjiao Chuhua for his good name, but when he spoke, his face didn't show much expression and looked a little cold.

However, Sankaku Hatsuhua already knew that Shirakawa Haru didn't have many expressions.

"Ha...ah...Qing," Lenai came over from the flower bed, holding a guitar. Her long shadow fell on the ground, touching the corner of the wall and then standing up. She stood beside Shirakawa Haru and said, "I want to sleep, let's go home."

Baichuan Qing rubbed her head. Lenai's eyes were full of tears. She looked at Baichuan Qing sleepily, and her head swayed with his palm.

"Runa, we're still outside, so you can't sleep yet. Besides, that sister just gave you another 5,000 yen. I told her that you wanted to adopt Kaname, and she said she wanted to help you and Kaname too. In return, how about you make the sheet music for that sister, the one you improvised on 'Here, the world!'?" Shirakawa Haru said, "I have music apps on my phone. Let's compose the music together, and then I'll take you home in a taxi."

It's completely the tone of coaxing a child.

Sankaku Hatsuka watched the interaction between Shirakawa Haru and Kaname Rakuna, and was a little confused about their relationship.

"Okay~" Lenai opened her lips wide, revealing her bright red tongue and two rows of small teeth as delicate and white as porcelain.

Shirakawa Haru and Lenai quickly recorded the adapted music on the music sheet on their mobile phones.

Shirakawa Haru then added Sankaku Hatsuka as a friend on the social software. He saved the music score on the software and sent it to Sankaku Hatsuka.

"I got it." Sanjiao Chuhua shook his phone.

"It's getting late, so let's go first." Shirakawa Haru said. He helped Lenai sit down on the flower bed, while he sorted out the musical instruments, unplugged the audio cables, turned off the convenient power supply, and then carefully put away all the audio equipment.

"Goodbye, Miss Triangle." said Shirakawa Haru.

"Goodbye, 5,000-yuan sister." Lenai muttered in her sleep.

After organizing all the equipment, Shirakawa Haru took Lenai to a convenient parking spot to hail a taxi.

Children are full of energy. They were drowsy just now, but they became extremely awake after walking a few steps. Le Nai and Yao Ji jumped up and down and ran around beside Shirakawa Haru.

She also clamored for matcha parfait.

"Matcha~Parfait~Matcha~Parfait~" Shirakawa Haru pulled the portable speaker, leaving Lenade with her hands free to hold Yoki as they played on the road. "Haru. I want to eat Matcha Parfait. Yoki and the others have canned cat food and sausages today, so I want to eat Matcha Parfait too."

"I'll give you all the money for the roadshow. Lenai, go buy one for yourself." Shirakawa Haru put down the portable speaker and used the mobile phone app to find an online taxi.

"No, the matcha parfait I want to eat was bought by Qing." Le Na put down Yao Ji and hugged Shirakawa Qing's waist, "I'll give the money to Qing, and Qing will buy it for me."

This kid is really troublesome.

Shirakawa Haru pulled Lenai's hand away and asked her to wait there for a while, then turned and walked towards the commercial street.

Just now he saw a dessert shop that sold milk tea, coffee, bread, and of course matcha parfait.

A few minutes later, Shirakawa Haru returned with a cup of matcha parfait. He handed it to Lena. Lena used the suitcase containing the portable speaker as a table and sat on the roadside to eat the matcha parfait.

Yaoji was also eating. When Shirakawa Haru passed by a convenience store, he bought a sausage for Yaoji.

Looking at Kaname Rakuna and Kaname Hime eating happily, Shirakawa Haru's mouth curled up slightly on his usually serious face. He walked to Rakuna's side, reached out and touched the top of her head. Rakuna's hair was soft and resilient, like silk, and it felt very comfortable to the touch.

When Shirakawa Haru's palm fell, Lena's body suddenly trembled, and then she acted as if nothing had happened and continued to eat the matcha parfait.

"Don't eat too fast, or your body won't be able to handle it."

Not long after Lenae finished her matcha parfait, a taxi horn blared at the empty intersection. Shirakawa Haru's taxi had arrived. As Shirakawa Haru was helping Lenae and her suitcase into the taxi, Lenae slipped him another kiss on the cheek.

This caused the driver sitting in the front seat to look at him sideways.

"I'm so sleepy... Qing, I'm going to sleep." Lenai began to close her eyes and rest.

"Driver, please help her move the luggage in the back after you drop her off home." After Baichuan Qing arranged for the driver to help Lenai, he gently closed the car door.

The car started, the rotating wheels rolled over the stones, and gradually disappeared in the distance.

It's time to rest.

Shirakawa Haru took out her cell phone and earphones, ready to listen to some music before walking home.

But at this moment, the screen of the phone suddenly changed and someone called him.

Shirakawa Haru answered the phone, and the person on the other end said, "Mr. Shirakawa, the man you asked me to investigate has now been found. As you expected, the man is not dead."

Chapter 5.8: Toyokawa Kiyoshi (k

The noisy and clamorous sound waves continued to resound. A young man with a gangster-like temperament was squatting under the eaves of the bar with a lunch box bought from a convenience store, listening carefully to the shouting and cursing coming from the alley beside him.

He stared at every taxi that passed by the bar, his eyes revealing anxiety.

A few months ago, his boss gave him a task to investigate the parents of Toyokawa Shoko, the daughter of the Toyokawa family, the founder of Toyokawa Group.

After reading the information presented by his boss, he could see at a glance that there was something strange about the suicide of Toyokawa Shoko's father, Toyokawa Kiyoshi, and his boss also thought so.

Toyokawa Kiyokao's death was so clean that there was nothing known except the cause of death and the autopsy, and no useful information could be found. The public relations handling and issuance of the obituary were also very quick.

The gears meshed together, and everything seemed to be premeditated.

The young man unzipped his jacket and pulled out several documents from his inside pocket. These were the information he had obtained about Mizuho Toyokawa from his investigation over the past few months.

Compared with Toyokawa Kiyoshi's confession, there are traces of Toyokawa Mizuho's death.

Judging from various signs, Mizuho Toyokawa died shortly after her divorce from Kiyoshi Toyokawa.

It seems that only a very small number of people in the Fengchuan Group know about this.

The young man put away Mizuho Toyokawa's information and zipped up his jacket.

There were sharp noises coming from the bar behind him, and many glasses were broken. Then there were women screaming and men arguing.

The young man moved his butt to the outside of the stairs. He could imagine the group of men in the bar spitting at each other face to face.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing at all.

The shouting and cursing in the alley gradually died down, and the wailing became intermittent.

Every time the sound died down, there would be the sound of flesh colliding, and then the intermittent screams and wails would become continuous again.

Would Fengchuan Qinggao really be beaten to death by those debt collectors? The young man was a little afraid of this.

Although he is now working as a private detective, he really doesn't know how to fight. He values his life and doesn't want to take the risk of dying so early.

Besides, he had only been in Tokyo for a few years and had not had time to enjoy this city he had longed for since childhood and see every part of it.

A taxi was coming towards him. Although this car was no different from the taxi that had passed by him before, the young man felt for some reason that the person he was waiting for was in this car.

He shoveled the last few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, then put the plastic box in the shadow on the side of the steps where no one could see it, and quickly stood up straight, ready to greet his boss.

"Good evening, Kawai... Just finished eating? Throw the plastic box in the trash later." Shirakawa Haru got out of the taxi and looked up at the bar sign. "Is Toyokawa Seikao in the bar right now? Explain the current situation."

"I bought a box lunch while waiting for the boss just now. The world is so big, but the boss's requirements are the biggest. If it weren't for you helping me, I probably wouldn't be an unemployed vagrant in some mountain area now. Although living in the mountains is also good, coming to Tokyo will give me a wider world." The man with a bit of a gangster temperament was named Kawai Kazuyu. He took the initiative to walk down the stairs and stood in front of Shirakawa Haru, half a head shorter than Shirakawa Haru.

When Shirakawa Haru was visiting poor children, he happened to meet Kawai Kazuyu, who was still unemployed, at the village entrance. The child he was visiting had some psychological problems, and he tried to untie the child's knot, but it would be impossible if he didn't know anything.

At this time, Kawai and You gave Shirakawa Haru some information, and then the information collection ability demonstrated by Kawai and You made Shirakawa Haru very interested.

When Shirakawa Haru learned that he longed for Tokyo and wanted to visit it, he brought him back to Tokyo and helped him open a detective agency.

Kawai and You do everything, from participating in investigations of companies and politicians to collecting information on cheating men and women every day. Occasionally, they also play the role of a staff member in the street office, helping people find cats and repair water pipes.

Kawai and You's dressing style is similar to Shirakawa Haru's, both wearing leather jackets on the upper body and various styles of jeans on the lower body.

When he first met Shirakawa Haru, Shirakawa Haru was wearing this outfit, which left a deep impression on him.

Ever since being brought to Tokyo by Shirakawa Haru, Kawai and You's longing for Tokyo disappeared, and they began to long for Shirakawa Haru instead.

Although Shirakawa Haru is much younger than him, he believes that only people like Shirakawa Haru are worthy of his admiration.

He wears the same clothes as Shirakawa Haru wears.

"Well, boss, didn't you ask me to investigate Toyokawa Kiyoshi? After gathering information on him, I started to identify possible locations where he might be based on his spending habits, past activities, and interpersonal relationships. Finally, I saw someone who looked very similar to Toyokawa Kiyoshi nearby on the surveillance footage." Kawai Kazuyu cleared his throat and recounted his work. "The Toyokawa Group has done a very good job of tracking him. The clues were almost complete when we saw the surveillance footage. The rest is just a matter of luck. As long as we stay on this street a while, we'll probably see him."

"And you caught him tonight?" Baichuan Qing nodded, indicating that he understood. "Thank you for your hard work, Kawai. I'll treat you to dinner at my house next time."

"That's so embarrassing." Kawai Kazuyu chuckled. His first meal in Tokyo was at Shirakawa Haru's house. He didn't expect that someone like Shirakawa Haru could cook by himself, and the food was so delicious.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Where is Toyokawa Qinggao now?" asked Shirakawa Haru.

"In the alley over there, he's with a group of debt collectors. They've been beating him up for quite a while."

"How long was he beaten?"

"I don't know. He's been getting beaten since I got here. It's probably been over an hour now." He shook his collar and threw the plastic box at his feet into the trash can. "If you, boss, don't come soon, I think he'll be beaten to death."

"Let's go. Let's go meet Toyokawa Qinggao, the son-in-law of the Toyokawa family, the man who 'came back from the dead'." Shirakawa Qing looked at the crowded alley, his tone gentle and without any emotion.

Go meet Toyokawa Shoko's father, the man who left his daughter behind.

Shirakawa Haru walked into the alley, and Kawai and You followed him closely.

The environment in the alley is very dark, and the street lights are very dim. Even the faint light is intermittent. This is caused by insufficient electricity.

Suddenly a street light went out, startling the people in the alley.

Someone noticed two shadows extending from the entrance of the alley. They stopped beating the middle-aged man lying on the ground and looked at the newcomers.

"Who?" asked the tallest young man among the group. He was wearing a cheap suit and holding a somewhat shriveled baseball bat in his hand. He seemed to be the leader of this group of debt collectors.

"Are you a loan shark?" Baichuan Qing did not respond to the young man with the baseball bat, but instead threw a question back to him.

"Yes. This man borrowed 80 yen from us." The young man with the baseball bat pointed his bat at Toyokawa Kiyoshi, who lay on the ground, and said with disdain. Even if the man on the ground didn't owe them any money, he still looked down on him. "It's not much, but he's been putting it off for a long time. Debts must be paid. We are reasonable people."

"What did he ask you to borrow money for?" Shirakawa Haru asked the young man with the baseball bat again.

"Who knows? Maybe he's going to rent an apartment, buy some necessities, and get ready for a job. We don't care anyway." The young man with the baseball bat put down his bat. He noticed that the man in front of him seemed to have some connection with the man lying on the ground. "Or maybe he's going to get some alcohol. Didn't you see he's drunk? We pulled him out of the bar."

He laughed playfully.

"How much is the total amount of principal plus interest?" Baichuan Qing walked to the man lying on the ground, turned him over, looked at his face covered with wounds and blood, the smell of alcohol was pungent, and his face was red.

Shirakawa Haru looked at the middle-aged man's face and found the outline of Xiangzi's smiling face on it. He confirmed his identity almost instantly.
