Chapter 1171 Visiting Wife’s Wedding (10,000 a Day, Extra Chapter for the Northern Expedition Cangqiong Alliance Leader!!!)

Sakaki returned to the room with a happy Hongshu, and announced that Hongshu was willing to get into the closet and take on the important task of protecting Yoshio Ogawa.

"Poor kid, everyone is stupid."

Miss Miyano glanced sideways at Hongshu, who was still giggling, and asked her boyfriend:

"When he went out and came back, he seemed like a different person. Did you give him some ecstasy soup?"

"What ecstasy soup? It's called chicken soup!"

Sakaki retorted immediately:

"Besides, I didn't lie to him, I just talked about feelings with him."

"Emotions? What emotions?"

"Friendship, brotherhood."

"."

Miss Miyano touched her forehead and suddenly felt a bruise on her head.

At this moment, Akutagawa Funa came back, followed by Conan and the other four.

"Madam, dinner is ready."

"Um."

The old woman nodded, called her eldest son Masaki Ogawa who lived at the end of the corridor, supported Yoshio Ogawa, and walked slowly towards the restaurant on the first floor.

On the way to the restaurant ahead, Sakaki suddenly noticed that Conan and the other four were extremely silent, their faces were shiny and full of energy, and they refused to meet his gaze no matter what, looking like they were guilty of committing crimes.

"How's your investigation going?"

"Huh? Ah, it's fine. Everything is fine."

Conan responded:

"Ogawa Yoshio's room is in the middle of the second floor. There is no place to climb up from outside. The roof is a slope and is paved with bricks. There will be strange noises when you step on it, so don't worry."

"Oh, did you meet anyone else when you were surveying the terrain?"

"Yes, of course, we met Miss Mari and Chef Nimura."

"Do you think they are suspicious?"

"Hmm"

Conan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said seriously:

"It's hard to say, Miss Mari. Chef Nimura and the others should be innocent."

Behind him, Kidd, Hattori Heiji and Sera Masumi nodded frequently in agreement.

"roar--"

Sakaki sneered and his eyes became extremely strange:

"They are short-tongued and soft-handed. It seems that the food they provide is pretty good."

"What kind of food! Don't say anything nonsense!"

Conan blushed and said:

"We didn't eat anything!"

"Before saying this, could you please wipe off the oil from the corners of your mouth?"

Conan subconsciously raised his hand and wiped it, but couldn't wipe anything. He soon realized that he had been tricked by Sakaki Cheng, his mouth tightened, and he squeezed the air with his little hand:

"Okay, I ate a little, just a little, more or less."

Sakaki didn't see anything at first, but when he looked carefully, he found two big words written in the air between Conan's fingers:

steak.

And it’s two pieces.

Two dollars each!

Who can withstand this?

They were starving and tired, and they wanted to catch the prisoner. Conan and the four of them got there, and took advantage of the investigation to secretly beat the tooth as a sacrifice!

It is unbearable!

Sakaki Makoto wants to eat steak too!

Not to mention steak, Sakaki is already extremely hungry. With his current appetite, he can eat even a whole cow in front of him!

Under Sakaki Cheng's gaze, Conan and the other four turned away with guilty consciences and muttered:

"We will definitely not dispel our suspicions about the chefs just because they ate the steak. They did not poison the food."

"Nonsense, can they still poison you in front of your eyes?!"

Rolling his eyes, Sakaki Cheng didn't bother to argue with them and said instead:

"We have met most of the suspects so far, and there are only two people left who have not been seen."

"gardener?"

Miss Miyano said:

"They asked for leave the day before yesterday and went back to their hometown. I asked you about it when you and Hongshu went out just now."

"Going back to your hometown?"

Raising his eyebrows, Sakaki thought for a moment and nodded:

"Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it. We can rule them out as suspects."

It was impossible for the prisoner to predict the future and guess that Domon Yasutei would come to Gunma County, because in the Boss's plan, Domon Yasutei should have died on the Toriya Bridge long ago.

If the two gardeners are criminals, there is no need for them to do anything extra. Just asking for leave to go home can eliminate the suspicion?

Don't be kidding. Although the Ogawa family's courtyard is large, there are also many people living here. If the gardener on leave suddenly appears at the house, won't it arouse others' suspicion?

In short, the best way for a prisoner to hide his identity is to do nothing and let nature take its course. Any unnecessary actions may attract the attention of Sakaki Cheng and others.

What's more, the four Conan people walked around the courtyard and did not see the so-called gardener. This alone was enough to prove their innocence.

After all, at this juncture, letting Ogawa Yoshio out of his sight was a very dangerous move, and the prisoner would not be stupid enough to do so.

Soon, everyone arrived at the restaurant on the first floor. Other members of the Ogawa family had been waiting for a long time.

Yoshio Ogawa sat at the end of the long table with the support of his son. His consciousness was still hazy and there was no sign of waking up in a short time.

It's no wonder that the 82-year-old man has been hit hard one after another and will definitely not be able to recover for a while.

Sakaki Cheng took Miss Miyano and others to the far corner of the table, deliberately avoiding the members of the Ogawa family, and then asked Hongshu to take out the compressed biscuits and mineral water, tear open the packages, and eat them one bite at a time.

Akutagawa Funa and her daughter and granddaughter carried trays and placed exquisite dishes in front of the Ogawa family members. After the meals were served, they bowed slightly and left the restaurant.

"Huh?"

Conan said in surprise:

"Don't they have dinner together?"

"Strictly speaking, they are staff employed by the Ogawa family. If this place was compared to a restaurant and hotel, would you let the waiters serve the meal together?"

Having said that, Sakaki Cheng is also a little strange, especially the woman named Akutagawa Fuuna. She obviously has a good relationship with the old woman. The relationship between them is not that of a guest and a waiter. Logically speaking, she is definitely qualified to serve on the table. For eating.

"Feng Nai, you stay and eat together."

At this moment, the old woman suddenly spoke. She invited Akutagawa Funa to have dinner at the same table with an expressionless face, as serious as a sculpture inviting a crow to rest on her shoulder.

"yes."

Akutagawa Funa paused, turned around and sat at the table. After his granddaughter brought dinner, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Tsk tsk tsk"

Seeing this scene, Kidd smacked his lips and said:

"Don't you think the atmosphere between them is very subtle? Rather than being superiors and subordinates, they are more like masters and slaves. What kind of society is this? Still doing this?"

"There's a special reason for that."

Suddenly there was a voice behind them. Everyone looked back and saw Ogawa Chengzhi coming behind them at some point. Instead of running to eat, they naturally sat next to them.

After sitting down, Ogawa Chengzhi hesitated and said:

"Have you ever heard of visiting one's wife in marriage?"

"Visiting my wife for marriage?!"

In the brightly lit restaurant, Sakaki and others looked at Ogawa Shigeshi with shocked expressions, doubting their own ears.

"You heard that right, it's to visit your wife for marriage."

Ogawa Chengzhi smiled bitterly:

"My grandfather and Akutagawa Funa were married as visiting wives, but not exactly."

"What? What is wife-visiting marriage?"

Sera Masumi, who has been living abroad all year round, has never heard of this term at all. Seeing that everyone seemed to know its meaning, she suddenly felt like a cat scratching her head and asked eagerly:

"Can anyone explain it to me?"

"Wife-visiting marriage is an ancient Japanese marriage method. It originated in the Kofun period, became popular in the Yamato period, and continued into the Heian period."

Akai Marie patiently explained to her daughter:

"During the period from Yamato to Heian, the marriage between men and women was in a rather strange phenomenon. Although they were married, men and women still lived with their mothers, brothers and sisters. If they wanted to have sex, the man would live in the same room. Sneak into the woman's home at night, leave in the early morning of the next day, or stay for a few days, and then return to your own home and bear the living expenses of your wife and children. This is mentioned in "Kojiki", "Nishoki", and "Man'yoshu" There are records that it developed from group marriage."

"oh"

Shiliang Zhenzhen nodded with half-understanding:

"Wouldn't there be problems with the relationship if couples live separately? They sound like strangers."

"There is no difference between them and strangers."

Miss Miyano took a small bite of the compressed biscuit and lowered her eyebrows:

"The couples who visit their wives for marriage have not been together for long, and the actual relationship is relatively loose. There is not much difference in life before and after marriage. Women are the main body of the marriage and have the right to choose a spouse and the right to name their children, and."

Halfway through her words, Miss Miyano suddenly stopped talking, as if she didn't want to continue talking.

"Huh? And what?"

Sera Masumi looked left and right, his eyes full of curiosity and his heart itching unbearably.

"And both men and women can sleep in the same room with other people."

Glancing at her, Sakaki said calmly:

"Haven't you seen "The Tale of Genji"? In it, the protagonist Hikaru Genji visits some married women at night and has sex with them."

Sera Masumi was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned green.

She was wondering why Miss Miyano suddenly stopped talking in the middle of the sentence. The content behind the relationship was so...

Unacceptable.

Can married couples have sex with other people at will?

No kidding, what's the point of this kind of marriage?

Declaration of sovereignty?

But others are dancing in front of your house!

"I have already said that wife-visiting marriage developed from group marriage. The so-called group marriage refers to a pseudo-marriage group composed of a group of men and women who can freely cohabit with each other. It is the first restriction on the relationship between the sexes in human history. The institution of marriage.”

Akai Marie said:

"Engels once mentioned in "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State" that when material supplies were poor and natural forces were strong, tribal living in groups was an indispensable form of survival for primitive people. Group marriage can ensure the continuation of the ethnic group, and there is no such thing as Right and wrong.”

"But it was already the Yamato era!"

Sera Masumi shouted:

"Towns have appeared. Even if we don't have to visit our wives for marriage, we can still continue the tribe! A group of people mate at will. What's the difference between a group of people and animals?"

"The difference is that both parties are free to choose their mating partners and cannot use coercive measures."

"."

"In a patriarchal society, polygamy is allowed, and in a matrilineal society, polyandry is naturally allowed. There is nothing to worry about."

Sakaki shook his head:

"For now, it is a patriarchal society, but what about one hundred or two hundred years from now?"

"In the final analysis, the reason for the emergence of patriarchal society is food. The vast majority of men are stronger than women. This is determined by the genetic structure. As the main obtainers of survival resources, it is not surprising that men have the right to speak."

"But if human society develops to the point where there is no need to worry about survival, the difference between men and women will no longer be so obvious, and the patriarchal social system will naturally disappear, and the matriarchal society will rise again instead."

Sakaki Makoto laughed again:

"But the matriarchal society will only prosper for a period of time. When technology develops to its peak, there will be no so-called patriarchal or matriarchal society."

"Almost."

Ignoring her daughter's dumbfounded expression, Akai Mary looked at Ogawa Seiji and asked:

"What really makes me feel strange is that the visiting marriage should have completely disappeared after the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Why do you mention this?"

"You only know one thing, but not the other."

Little Kawasei bared his teeth and organized his words:

"During the war, Japan suffered a huge loss of men. It is not an exaggeration to say that nine out of ten houses were empty. In this situation, in order to ensure the supply of soldiers, the government encouraged people to have more children to ensure future expansion plans."

"As a returnee from overseas, my grandfather is an elite among elites. There are many girls who like him, so..."

"So even if your grandfather married your grandmother, he still kept a lover outside, right?"

Tsuchimon Yasuki's voice was low and his mood was very bad:

"If you keep a lover, keep a lover. What's the point of visiting the wife marriage!"

"Yeah."

After being taught a lesson, Ogawasei looked a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and didn't understand why he was the one who was scolded in the end for what his grandfather did.

"Akutagawa Fuuna was also a returnee at that time. To be precise, she and my grandfather went to the same university. The difference was that her grades were better than my grandfather's during her school years. She was a government-sponsored student."

"After returning to China, my grandfather hid in the Akagi Mountains. Akutagawa Fuuna also went to the Teacher Training Institute to become a teacher under the introduction of my grandfather. The two of them often interacted behind my grandmother's back until..."

"Until my grandmother found out."

Ogawa Chengzhi took a sip of the mineral water handed over by Hongshu, glanced at the old woman, and after making sure that she didn't hear the conversation here, he continued:

"According to my father, my grandmother was so angry at the time that she almost blew the roof off. This incident was a shadow of his childhood that he could not get rid of it."

"Did your grandfather break off contact with Akutagawa Fuuna?"

"No. He was going to break off contact, but Akutagawa Fuuna suddenly got pregnant unexpectedly, and finally... Alas!"

Ogawa Chengzhi didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only shake his head and sigh.

Can you let your husband and lover stay at home?

Even if he didn't say it, everyone guessed the follow-up.

I'm afraid that the so-called daughter and granddaughter are actually the descendants of Ogawa Yoshio, but

the old woman refused to admit it.

"Hehe, your grandmother is really good-tempered."

Domon Yasuki snorted coldly.

"She really loves my grandfather."

"Huh? Huh?"

Conan, who was listening, suddenly crossed his legs and interrupted their conversation:

"You... Don't you think this story sounds so familiar?"
