Chapter 218
"The root of the attack may be traced back to your husband's design of the Second Wind Capital Tower...
“I need to get a little more insight from you on something related to this…
"If things go well, maybe we can immediately identify the force to which the murderer belongs."
While talking, Detective Zuo Shotaro first looked at Kusuhara Asuka, and then looked into the distance. He pinched the brim of his hat and shook his head slightly.
Kusuhara Masaru understood.
The implication is also very obvious.
The half-baked detective in front of him, Shotaro Zuo, had most likely investigated some information related to the death of his husband, Daisaburo Kusuhara, in the shooting.
Moreover, he believes that this attack is likely to be related to the shooting of Daisaburo Kusuhara last year.
As for the content related to this, it is not convenient to mention it in front of Kusuhara Asuka...
After hearing this, Kusuhara Masaica finally raised her eyebrows slightly, and she said calmly: "So, you did investigate something..."
"It's just a coincidence." Shotaro Zuo replied.
But at this moment, Kusuhara Asuka came to Zuo Shotaro with wide eyes. She pulled Zuo Shotaro by the corner of his clothes and asked, "Uncle, do you want to investigate matters related to my father?
"Then can you find him?
"He's a Kamen Rider."
Zuo Shotaro slowly squatted down, shook his head slightly, and explained helplessly: "I told you not to call me uncle...
"As for Asuka's father, I only have some clues now, and I'm not sure.
"If I can find Asuka's father, I will definitely ask him to come back and see you."
Kusuhara Asuka showed a happy expression and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, uncle!"
Looking at Kusuhara Asuka's happy look, Zuo Shotaro's mood was a little complicated.
That's certainly not because Asuka calls him uncle.
Although it is true that part of it is...
However, it was more because of Kusuhara Daisaburo.
as well as......
Uncle and Ya Shuzi.
But after a moment, Zuo Shotaro casually touched Kusuhara Asuka's head, and then stood up.
Then, Shotaro Zuo looked at Representative Kusuhara Masaru.
Representative Kusuhara Masa nodded slightly.
Then, the two left.
Looking at Representative Kusuhara Masaru and Zuo Shotaro leaving, Terui Ryuya shook his head slightly.
Then, Terui Ryuya handed over the care of Kusuhara Asuka to Shiraishi, and he began to take charge of the investigation and evidence collection and sampling analysis of the attack site.
Shiraishi accepted the order from Terui Ryu and was responsible for taking care of the children for Representative Kusuhara Masaru.
Time passes gradually like this...
353-Narukai Asukiko, fully resurrected!
Fengdu Wind Research Institute, somewhere in an empty conference room.
Detective Zuo Shotaro slowly opened the door of the borrowed conference room, and then motioned to Representative Kusuhara Masaru who was following him to take a seat in the conference room first.
After the two sat down, the conversation began.
Rep. Kusuhara Masaru looked at Zuo Shotaro. She tilted her head slightly and seemed to be sizing him up: "Although I said before that you are a half-assed detective...
"But now it seems...
"You seem to have some ability.
"You were able to investigate even my husband's death in the shooting.
"Obviously I haven't provided any relevant information, right?"
However, Shotaro Zuo just shook his head, looked out the window, and then explained to Representative Kusuhara Masaru: "It was the information provided by Asuka that exposed everything...
"[Father is a Kamen Rider]...
"No matter how you look at it, it's a lie to appease the child's emotions and prevent him from missing his father too much, right?"
Then, Shotaro Zuo took out his stag phone and shook it a little, then looked at Representative Kusuhara Masaru, and then said: "So, I asked my partner to do a little investigation into Mr. Daisaburo Kusuhara... ...
“So finally, we learned that Mr. Kusuhara Daisaburo died in the shooting.
"Well...
"But to be precise, the opportunity to learn the information related to this actually came from the source and [that guy]...
"We just did the verification work."
Regarding matters related to Huang Jinqing, Becas, and Kamen Rider Knight, Shotaro Zuo did not explain much.
Explaining too much will only make things more difficult.
Then, Shotaro Zuo said: "When you, Representative Kusuhara, concealed this information before, we had no clue about the upcoming danger...
“But now, after obtaining relevant intelligence, the enemy’s intention has become obvious.
"Without a doubt——
“The person who is threatening you, Representative Kusuhara, seems to be someone who does not want the Second Wind Tower to be built under any circumstances.
"I don't know the information related to this. Can Representative Kusuhara talk to me in detail?"
After hearing Zuo Shotaro's doubts, Representative Kusuhara Masaru raised her eyebrows slightly. She said calmly: "I thought you would grab me by the collar and scold me angrily [Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier?" Woolen cloth."
However, Zuo Shotaro just pinched the brim of his hat to hide his expression. He shook his head slightly: "At this point, there is no value in continuing to stick to Representative Kusuhara's concealment...
“It’s better to get valuable information as soon as possible and be wary of enemies that may appear next.
"and......
"It's understandable that I can't tell the truth for some reasons.
"Who hasn't had to tell a lie yet?"
Zuo Shotaro shook his head slightly.
Then, Shotaro Zuo stared at Representative Kusuhara Masaru, and nodded slightly: "Besides, according to Representative Kusuhara Masaru's schedule, tomorrow should be the land sale negotiation regarding the Second Fudu Tower construction plan...
"The construction plan of the Second Wind Capital Tower is constantly advancing, and the investigation of the enemy must also be stepped up."
Councilor Masaru Kusuhara fell into silence. She stared at Shotaro Zuo quietly, seemingly thinking about it.
After a while, Representative Kusuhara Masaru breathed out slowly, and then nodded slightly: "Since you have said so, and you have roughly investigated some of the contents, there is really no need to hide anything... ..
"The detailed information related to it is this..."
In the following time, in the empty conference room here, Representative Kusuhara Masaru told Zuo Shotaro all the details he knew about the shooting case of Kusuhara Daisaburo, and then proposed several methods that might hinder the Second Wind by any means possible. The object for which the capital tower was built...
Shotaro Zuo, on the other hand, just silently recorded the words of Representative Kusuhara Masaru in his notebook.
Time passes like this.
...
Narumi Detective Agency.
Asukiko Narumi, who successfully returned to the Narumi Detective Agency by bus, wordlessly opened the door of the Narumi Detective Agency. She passed through the secret door and came to the secret workshop of Kamen Rider W. ...
At this moment, Philip sitting in front of the workbench was flipping through a book recording ancient alchemy-related techniques.
After hearing the sound of Narukiya Shuko moving, Philip also turned around and stood up.
He came to Narumi Yasukiko's side, and then nodded slightly: "Thank you for helping transport the [Tooth Bomb]."
Asukiko Narumi just nodded slightly, and then silently put the [Tooth Bullet] she got from Kamen Rider W back into Philip's hand.
Afterwards, Asukiko Narumi walked to the corner of the workshop by herself. She hugged her legs, and then sat there silently leaning against the wall.
Looking at Narumi Asukiko's movements, Philip slightly tossed the [Tooth Bullet] he had just obtained.
Then, Phillip said: "Narumi..."
However, before Philip was ready to say anything to Narumi Asukiko, Narumi Asukiko shook her head vigorously. She interrupted Philip: "Don't say it!"
Although there was already a vague speculation in his mind, Narumi Asukiko was no longer willing to face it.
However, this was not the most painful thing for her.
Then, Asukiko Narumi raised her head slightly and looked in the direction of Phillip, and then slowly let out a long breath: "About Asuka.
"Let me think about it myself."
Narumi Asukiko can understand Kusuhara Masaru's approach.
However, at the same time, what Zuo Shotaro did did make her feel a certain degree of pain.
At this moment, she can stand in the perspective of Kusuhara Asuka and Kusuhara Masa.
As Huang Jinqing said, she is indeed the most suitable person to make the choice.
This puts Narumi Asukiko in a dilemma.
She doesn't know how to make a choice.
This is the most painful thing.
She doesn't want Kusuhara Asuka to be sad, but at the same time, she doesn't want to be blinded by lies and deceived in this way by people close to her...
After hearing what Narumi Asukiko said, Philip shook his head slightly. He came to Narumi Asukiko's side, and then stretched out his hand to Narumi Asukiko.
Then Philip said: "If you don't know how to make a decision...
"Just try to rely on other people.
"Perhaps Yashuzi doesn't know yet?
"The name [Philip] I use now actually has a clear origin.
"Philip Marlowe.
“A tough guy in a detective story.
"Hard-Boiled is always determined and always insists on making his own choices.
“Names like this and meanings like this were all [he] told me that night.
“In the confused white space, [he] gave me the power to make choices.
"Although the final choice is yours to make...
"But before I gather enough courage...
“You can rely on others.
“It’s like I gained the strength from [him] to make my own choices.
“You must also be able to get strength from somewhere.
"If Ashuko can't decide whether to tell Asuka the truth in the end...
"Just come with me -
"Let's go together to investigate what Representative Kusuhara Masaru thinks, and let's go together to investigate Kusuhara Asuka's expectations.
"And after that, make a decision.
"I am someone who can access the Earth Library. With my help, it will be much easier to make a choice, right?
"What do you think, Akiko?"
Akiko Narumi raised her head slightly.
"Philip's name......
