Chapter 720 Hope and Despair (23)
Today’s theme color is gray. The sky is covered with a thick layer of clouds, making the air sultry. Fortunately, it didn’t take long before it began to rain. The drizzle made a little sound on the tombstones, making this cemetery no longer look so deserted.
Heita Inuyama held an umbrella and stood blankly in front of a tombstone. There was a bouquet of flowers placed on the tombstone, which seemed to have been placed by him before. He didn't know how long he had been standing here, but he didn't know how long he had been standing here. No one would bother him when he was idle.
It wasn't until the sky got a little dark that Heita Inuyama turned around and left the cemetery.
What he didn't know was that when he was standing in front of the tombstone, there was a man watching him quietly from a distance. He didn't even open an umbrella because he was afraid of being discovered.
The man watched Inuyama Heita leave step by step, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took a deep breath, as if to cheer himself up, then he mustered up the courage, took out the bouquet he had prepared, and came to the tombstone where Inuyama Heita was standing. In front of him, he presented the bouquet he had prepared.
"Mayuko... Heita has grown up." The man squatted in front of the tombstone, closed his eyes, clasped his hands, and muttered something, letting the raindrops fall on him.
"He grew up in Ping An, just like his name. Although he recently worked in a detective agency, the boss didn't seem to be a bad person. I asked other people about the detective. The reputation seems to be good..."
"Oh? Thank you very much for the compliment, but I am not a detective, Mr. Jun Inuyama."
The man trembled and became quiet. When he opened his eyes, he realized that there was a transparent umbrella above his head. The Chinese named Qian Xiaoyi was standing behind him, holding an umbrella to protect him from the rain.
"You..." The man panicked. He was so frightened that he stood up immediately, but because of the rain, he stepped on the slippery bricks and fell to the ground.
"Am I so scary?" Qian Xiaoyi shook his head and stretched out his hand towards the other person, trying to pull him up.
"I...I am not Jun Inuyama! You have the wrong person!" The man did not grab Qian Xiaoyi's hand, but covered his face, stood up and wanted to escape from here.
Qian Xiaoyi looked at the other party's embarrassing movements and did not stop him. He just said: "Is this really good? You obviously care about his condition, right? Why don't you leave without hearing about his recent situation? In order to report the situation to you, the parent, I have been investigating for a long time."
The man stopped. , he turned his back to Qian Xiaoyi, was silent for a while, and then said: "I...I am not worthy to be his father. It is enough to know that he is living a good life now. I can't appear in front of him. This will make him feel uncomfortable." What bothers him...just think of me as dead. Anyway, thank you for taking care of Pingtai.”
"Oh? Really? Do you think he has been doing well recently? Who told you?" Qian Xiaoyi said: "You know, that guy has been very distressed and angry recently, because... he already knows about himself and hope "
" The man turned around in disbelief. Come, look at Qian Xiaoyi, and shout in surprise: "He knows?!"
"Yeah, I know." Qian Xiaoyi looked at the weather and said: "This is not a chat. It’s a good place, let’s find a place to hide from the rain and talk.”
“…” The man hesitated.
Qian Xiaoyi added: "Pingtai doesn't know you are here." The man breathed a sigh of relief: "...I understand, I will go with you."
After a while, they came to a nearby fast food restaurant. The man was sitting on the seat, soaked to the skin, his movements were a little awkward, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
Qian Xiaoyi ordered him a set meal, French fries, hamburgers and so on. Judging from the look on the other side, he probably hadn't been able to have a serious meal for a while.
"Thank you..." The man picked up the burger and took a bite. The smell of fried chicken and fat made him squint his eyes. He choked a little. He quickly took a sip of Coke and swallowed it, and then he put it down. Hamburger looked at Qian Xiaoyi and asked: "I...I am indeed Inuyama Heita's father. How did you do it?" "How did you find me?"
"Ever since Pingtai met you at the racecourse, I have been looking for you." Qian Xiaoyi took out the photos taken by Kuroda's friend. , handed it to Inuyama Jun, and said: "Do you still remember this photo? I entrusted a friend to take it before."
Inuyama Jun looked at the photo in confusion and said: "But...I obviously escaped and changed my residence..."
"There is a part that was not captured in the photo. The direction you were looking at at that time , it’s a flower shop.” Qian Xiaoyi said: “I went to inquire and you always looked at the door for a while, so I thought about Pingtai’s mother’s death anniversary.”
"As expected of a detective..." Inuyama Jun lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "I really can't hide it from you."
Qian Xiaoyi's eyelids twitched, but he did not argue with him on such a boring topic.
"So, does Heita really know what Hope teaches?" Inuyama Jun lowered his head and asked: "He...how did he know?"
Qian Xiaoyi said: "The commission I did recently involved the cult and caused a little trouble, so they wanted to deal with me, and then they wanted to start with the people around me."
"So Did they find Heita? Is he okay?" Inuyama Jun stood up. Come on, causing everyone else in the fast food restaurant to look at him. Inuyama responded immediately, sat down and said, "I'm an idiot. I obviously saw him just now. It's okay."
Looking at the other party’s reaction, Qian Xiaoyi probably didn’t know the recent events, so he said: "It's just that there is nothing for the time being. In fact, I think he may go to the other party for revenge."
"No, no! No!" Inuyama Jun's emotions became excited again: "Their power is too huge No, he can't do it alone! Please stop him!"
"For what reason?" Qian Xiaoyi said: "To put it bluntly, I am just his part-time boss, not even a guardian. What qualifications do I have to stop him? This kind of thing should not be done By his real guardian - you? ”
"I..." Inuyama said calmly: "I should not appear in his life again. I have ruined the first half of his life, and I cannot ruin the rest of his life..."
"So, what happened back then?" Qian Xiaoyi asked aggressively: " Why are you obviously supposed to be a successful person, able to send Pingtai to a good school and live in a good apartment, but now you are in this desolate state, but you dare not recognize your son even though you are in Tokyo?”
