"He's on TV"

Shifting his gaze, Sakaki looked at the public TV hanging on the wall of the hotel lobby, which was broadcasting the shogi competition.

"The popular winner of this shogi competition is none other than the famous shogi player Haneda Hideyoshi. Let us invite him to the stage to explain the rules of this competition."

As soon as the scene turned, a tall and thin young man with round-rimmed eyes walked onto the stage, took the microphone handed by the host, and said with a bright smile:

"Hello everyone, my name is Haneda Hideyoshi."

"He is quite famous. He is a genius in the world of shogi. Like Haneda Koji, he comes from the Haneda family."

Miss Miyano said.

It is not difficult to collect information about the Haneda family. At that time, Haneda Koji was known as the genius chess player closest to the seven-time champion, and the media rushed to report on it. Even now, many TV stations plan to dig deeper into 17 years ago in order to break the news. A bizarre case occurred in the United States.

A few years later, Haneda Hideyoshi came out of nowhere. With his superb chess skills, he won consecutive championships in just a few years. He was as popular as his adopted brother and became the focus of the public again.

Sakaki Makoto doesn't care much about the news in the shogi world, so he didn't know much about the relationship before he learned about the Haneda Koji case. Now Haneda Hideyoshi's name suddenly appeared on the hotel list, and Akai Mari knew Haneda Koji 19 years ago.

It is not difficult to guess that there must be some kind of special relationship between the Haneda Hideyoshi who suddenly appeared and Akai Marie.

After learning this, Sakaki finally understood who Akai Marie wanted to protect.

It has to be said that Akai Marie was too cunning. She opened a room in a Tokyo hotel in her own name, luring investigators into a trap, while she hid in another hotel opened under someone else's name. .

She was already invincible.

pity

Sakaki came prepared this time. He had too much key information, so he could immediately deduce that Akai Marie and Haneda Hideyoshi were related.

If Ishikawa Hidekazu's obscene incident hadn't happened yesterday, he would probably still be at a loss as to who the enemy was hiding in the dark.

However, a wise man must make mistakes. Akai Marie missed Ishikawa Hide, who was involved in the case 17 years ago, exposing the relationship between herself and Haneda Koji, and sowing the seeds of crime.

"You stay here and monitor the hall. I'll go up through the safe passage to see if I can intercept them."

Sakaki returned the check-in list to Miss Miyano and made a detailed plan.

Only staying on the 27th floor through the elevator, Sakaki couldn't be sure that Akai Marie would definitely leave through the safe passage. Maybe the other party would feint, run down a few floors, and then take the elevator?

Leaving one person in the hall is the safest way. No matter how Akai Marie escapes, she must go through the hall.

"Okay, if I find any trace of them, I will contact you."

Miss Miyano knew what her boyfriend was thinking, so she found a corner in the hall suitable for observation and sat down, and asked the waiter for a cup of coffee.

Showing the police manual, Sakaki successfully passed the security guard and entered the safe passage on the grounds of investigating the case.

Da. Da.

The footsteps echoed in the empty passage. It was so quiet all around that you could clearly hear the sizzling electricity under the green escape sign. The noisy people in the hall gradually faded away. Sakaki climbed all the way to the 10th floor and leaned against the railing. went up and took out the cigarette case.

Crack!

The firelight flashed away, illuminating Sakaki's expressionless face.

He smoked a cigarette and closed his eyes. His favorite music seemed to be ringing in his ears. His fingers were tapping rhythmically on his shoulders. His whole body seemed to blend into the railings and escape into the shadows.

"Mom, where should we go next?"

At the entrance of stairs #14, the girl picked up her bag, looked at the cautious back in front of her and asked:

"If we can no longer stay in the hotel, I'm afraid we will have to find the second brother."

"We can't go to Hideyoshi."

The petite figure turned back and said indifferently:

"I'm already very sorry for that child and can't drag him into the water anymore."

"But."

The girl wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the petite figure:

"Hideyoshi is now in a critical period of the game. Don't disturb him. I promised back then that I would raise you up. Now Hideyoshi can take charge of his own business. You should have been studying in school. If it weren't for Belmod, I wouldn't have I will allow you to come to Tokyo with me.”

"Yeah, I know."

The girl nodded and grinned:

"Mom, you don't trust me too much. I'm your and dad's daughter! I'm sure my abilities are not bad!"

"Hmph, don't think that I don't know that your motives for returning to China are not pure."

"No way."

"Shh!"

The petite figure suddenly stopped, raised his hand, and signaled the girl to be silent.

After sniffing, she smelled a faint aroma of tobacco floating in the air, and her muscles immediately tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy.

A person slowly walked out of the shadows below, holding a dying cigarette in his mouth, holding a silver pocket pistol, and a playful smile on his lips:

"We meet again, Mary."

The petite figure's pupils suddenly shrank, she took half a step back in horror, and shouted:

"It's you. It's you!!!"

Sakaki slowly opened his eyes and looked at the man holding a folding fan in front of him, frowning slightly:

"Is it you?"

"You know me?"

The man was a little surprised, then smiled and said:

"It's an honor, Mr. Sakaki Makoto."

Sakaki Makoto looked behind him and asked after not finding anyone else:

"Why are you here?"

"Uh"

Zhang Fan scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"I'm a tenant here. Is it weird to be here?"

"Why don't you take the elevator?"

"Exercise!"

The man bent his arms and acted strong:

"Sitting in front of the chessboard all day will make your body weak. Climbing stairs is a good exercise, isn't it?"

Even though this was the most obvious excuse, Sakaki Makoto didn't expose it. He knew it was meaningless. As long as the man wanted, there were ten thousand ways to deal with his questions.

"You should be accepting an interview."

"It's just a recording, everything was rehearsed in advance. The National Shogi Tournament can't make a fool of itself."

The man pushed his glasses and said with a smile:

"If Mr. Makoto Sakaki has nothing to do, I'll leave first."

After that, the man brushed past Makoto Sakaki, humming a little tune from time to time, not afraid of the MK23 in Makoto Sakaki's hand.

After hesitating for a long time, Makoto Sakaki turned on the safety again and put away the gun.

"Oh, right."

The man who had already walked to the stairs on the next floor suddenly poked his head out and pointed to the sign on the wall with his folding fan:

"Smoking is prohibited here. If you are caught, you will be fined. But I won't tell anyone. This is a secret between us, right?"
