"Mr. Sakaki, nice to meet you. I am Mie Domon. Thank you very much for protecting Yasuki."
Mie Domon bowed slightly, smiling peacefully, with generous and elegant manners, and obviously well-educated.
"You're welcome."
Sakaki said with a smile:
"It's just a matter of money."
Yasuki Domon and his wife have a good relationship. After dinner, the two took a walk on the roadside. Sakaki followed not far behind, observing the surroundings vigilantly, fearing that a thief would suddenly jump out of the bushes and kill Yasuki Domon.
At nearly 7 o'clock, several people took a car home. The Mercedes-Benz car drove all the way to the wealthy area of Yika-cho 3-chome and drove into a small manor.
The surroundings were full of lush green plants, and the luxurious manor, like an ancient castle in the forest, was hidden in it, with bright lights and magnificent splendor.
The last time Sakaki Makoto came here was more than half a year ago, when he took over a big case. The rich man Sontoku Seiwa killed a bank president, Yamazaki Kinbashi, while holding a party at home.
Just now, the Mercedes-Benz passed by the Seiwa family's villa, which looked no different from before. It is estimated that Sontoku Seiwa's son has taken over his father's business after he was imprisoned.
"President Yamazaki is a friend of mine."
On the back seat, Yasuki Domon suddenly said:
"Mr. Sakaki is in charge of his case, so I chose you this time because I think a detective who is willing to take the risk of solving a case will not be a bad person."
"How is Sontoku Seiwa now?"
"The case is serious. The law has sentenced him to 50 years in prison. At his age, he probably won't be able to get out."
"If he behaves well during his sentence, shouldn't he be given a commutation?"
"As far as I know, Sontoku Seiwa has been making a fuss about appealing every day since he was imprisoned. His performance is not good, so his chances of getting a commutation are not great, and"
Yasuki Domon said lightly:
"A murderer as cruel as him may contribute more to society if he doesn't get out of prison."
Three Mercedes-Benz cars stopped in front of the manor. After identity verification, the electric iron gate opened and drove into the manor avenue under the watchful eyes of patrol security guards with Dobermans.
The manor where Domon Yasuki lives is even more luxurious than Sewa Sontoku's villa. It is rare even in the rich area. There are more than 30 security guards patrolling alone, not to mention the Doberman with a keen sense of smell and surveillance cameras. The defense is strict and thieves dare not visit here at all.
"We're here."
The Mercedes-Benz stopped at the door of the villa. Makoto Sakaki got out of the car and opened the back door. Domon Yasuki and his wife got out of the car one by one. The butler who had been waiting for a long time came forward, took out the gift from the trunk, and whispered:
"Master Kanghui, the master is waiting for you in the living room."
Looking at the time, Domon Yasuki nodded gently:
"I know, arrange a guest room for Mr. Sakaki Makoto."
"Yes."
The butler has long been accustomed to the situation of having guests at home. Many people visit every day, but not many are qualified to stay overnight. Being invited by the owner also shows the importance of this guest.
After all
Although Sakaki Makoto is now the head of the bodyguards, he is still a celebrity after all. He must follow the most basic etiquette and not lose the cultivation of a noble family.
Entering the villa, Domon Yasuki greeted Sakaki Makoto and asked his wife to go back to the room first. He walked towards the living room. When he turned around, Sakaki Makoto found that Domon Yasuki's expression was a little gloomy, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto, please follow me."
The housekeeper walked up the stairs and opened the door of the guest room on the third floor. Seeing that Sakaki Makoto was empty-handed, he couldn't help asking:
"Don't you have any luggage?"
"Someone will deliver it to me tomorrow."
"I understand, please rest assured."
After the housekeeper left, Sakaki Makoto looked around the guest room. It was fully equipped with a double bed, bathroom, TV, air conditioner, and computer. It was more luxurious than a hotel. There was also an electronic bell on the table, which could be pressed to summon a maid.
Back at the manor, he didn't need to worry about safety. Sakaki Makoto took a shower and lay down on the bed. Just as he was about to call Miss Miyano, there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock!
He opened the door and it was the butler again.
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto, the master invites you to have tea."
The master naturally refers to the father of Domon Yasuki, who is also a big shot, a member of the National Assembly, and there has been little news about him.
The butler took Sakaki Makoto to the living room and left. He had no intention of listening at all, which shows his professionalism.
The large living room was brightly lit, with more than a dozen single sofas. In the middle sat an old man with gray hair, a square face, and a majestic aura. He looked at least 60 years old.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit dull. Domon Yasuki, who was sitting at the door, said nothing and looked unhappy. He was slightly relieved when he saw Sakaki Makoto.
"People say that the famous detective Makoto Sakaki is a handsome man. It is true today."
Under the light, the old man raised his eyelids and looked at Makoto Sakaki with slightly cloudy eyes. Suddenly, he smiled like an iceberg melting, and said with a smile:
"Not bad, not bad, please sit down."
Why did this old man look for him?
Makoto Sakaki sat on the sofa in confusion. Before he could speak, he heard the old man say:
"How is your grandfather's health recently? Time flies. It seems that the last time I met him was 20 years ago."
Grandfather?
With his eyes narrowed, Makoto Sakaki had several thoughts in his mind, and smiled and said:
"Thanks to the care of Mr. Tumen, my grandfather is still in good health. However, as he has gotten older recently, his memory has begun to fade. Sometimes he can't even recognize me."
"After all, he is almost 80 years old."
The old man sighed with some regret:
"It's a pity that heroes are dying."
19 years ago, the Miyano couple joined the Karasuma Group's research institute. After learning about this, Sakaki Cheng went to investigate the Karasuma Group's information, only to find that the Karasuma Group had closed down 17 years ago, and the retained information There are so few that nothing can be found at all.
The old man's words pointed out that he knew some details about Sakaki and had met Karasuma Oryuki's father, but the two parties had not been in contact for a long time.
This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Sakaki to obtain information.
"Does Mr. Tumen also know my grandfather?"
Sakaki asked insinuatingly:
"My grandfather never mentioned it at home."
"We had a chance encounter. Just after I was elected as a member of parliament 20 years ago, your grandfather was already the chairman of Karasuma Group."
The old man showed a reminiscing look:
"At that time, the power of the Karasuma Group was at its peak. After inheriting Renye Karasuma's wealth, the Karasuma Group surpassed the current Suzuki Group in terms of financial strength and influence. Unfortunately, I don't know what happened. In just a few months, The building collapsed and the Karasuma Group was completely annihilated in the long river of time. The Suzuki family, which was just a small consortium at the time, seized the opportunity and achieved today's glory. "
