white night syndrome

Chapter 190 158. He must have been threatened by others!

"The white dream about the restless people in the new world is completely over... Now I'm finally back to the topic. I just used my special authority to read the basic information about the white dream we are experiencing now. It seems to be the above-mentioned Ying University built for the background."

Li Ming squinted his eyes and sat on the sofa. He was the only one in the room at the moment, and the phone window was the dialogue window between him and Yuan Qingyu. Ever since he fell into the complication of heavy dreams, he would encounter strange white dreams. , and Yuan Qingyu came to the rescue just in time.

only……

"I said... why did my heavy dream complication end just like this once you joined?" Li Ming tapped on the phone, gnashing his teeth slightly, and added an angry expression, "Although the previous ones There is no regret that the world has ended satisfactorily, but it is always better to have more dreams.”

"Don't worry, I didn't say that this daydream was not part of your dream complication."

Yuan Qingyu paused for a moment, and shortly after the word "the other party is typing" appeared, a new message popped up.

"Generally speaking, after the complication of heavy dreams is over, the effect of white dreams will definitely end immediately, and return to normal life, but...you don't have this, so I suspect that the white dreams you and I are experiencing now are also heavy dreams. Part of it."

"Based on this, is it possible that a certain district dean used dream points to construct a white dream of the background of the above university degree?"

Li Ming tapped on his phone, and asked anxiously.

"So... about the secrets behind Shangying University, after returning to normal life, can we use this key point to investigate and get more clues?"

"That's right, let's see how to escape first, but speaking of it, dreams are generally constructed based on scenes that appear in reality, and they are still in the complication of heavy dreams."

Yuan Qingyu paused and continued to send messages.

"If I understand correctly, we will probably meet Kurosawa and the others in this dream, and finally decide on the next course of action."

"So, can you tell me now? What role do you play in this white dream world?"

Li Ming raised his eyebrows, and tapped the screen lightly.

"The Metropolitan Police Department."

"Huh? You are actually asked to be a private detective as a policeman in the Metropolitan Police Department? Isn't this status a bit too funny?"

As expected, Yuan Qingyu almost laughed out loud, expressing the same thought and attitude as Li Ming, making it difficult to hold back.

"As for my identity... I am an ordinary private detective, and when I woke up from a coma, I had already received a commission from an employer named Yamashiro Taro, I think it should be related to the white dream we are experiencing now It’s related, so I came to send you a message to confirm.”

Gee.

Yamashiro Taro.

The standard Japanese citizen mentality casts a wide net to obtain the final clues in one fell swoop, and from his behaviors, we can see the background of the rich man.

If he wasn't a rich man, he wouldn't have the idea of ​​casting a wide net, because entrusting other people would require payment of entrustment money, and because of the urgency of the situation, it was impossible for him to entrust only Yuan Qingyu.

"About the fire that broke out in the suburbs of Ikebukuro on April [-]?" Li Ming asked tentatively.

"That's right, Yamashiro Taro expressed his doubts in the text message. He thought that his father's death was not that simple, so he hoped that I would help him investigate this matter." Yuan Qingyu paused, "Then give it to me A copy of his home address...no, temporary residence."

"Interesting, I have also received an order from the Metropolitan Police Department, and it is still a death order. I need to visit Yamashiro Taro's residence and help find the cause and truth of his father and mother's death."

Li Ming pondered for a while, then continued to tap.

"And this incident seems to have affected the large-scale meeting held at Ying University a few days later, so the Metropolitan Police Department was so anxious to be asked to investigate thoroughly."

"Then our next task is to go to Sanbaitaro's temporary residence together?" Yuan Qingyu looked a little eager to try.

Li Ming chuckled, folded the thrown police uniform and put it aside, and continued to wear the overcoat he was used to wearing.

"No, it's about getting there first."

……

Man's fun is that simple.

When Yuan Qingyu and Li Ming came to a hotel near Shangying University together according to the agreed time, they met an unexpected person.

"Jiang Wenkan?"

Li Ming frowned, looked tentatively at the young man who was playing with the phone, and asked tentatively.

The young man showed a puzzled expression, and after looking Li Ming up and down for a while, he made a sound in surprise.

"Li Ming? Why are you here? Didn't you say...you will follow me to Japan later? Why are you here..."

It was only then that Li Ming noticed that the Jiang Wenkan in front of him didn't seem to be the real Jiang Wenkan he was familiar with, but the former boy who went to Japan alone two or three years ago.

just why...

Will he also receive a commission from Yamashiro Taro?
Jiang Wenkan didn't tell Li Ming about the specific job he held in Japan as a celibate, now it seems that he is also a private detective?

But why should he hide himself...

There is definitely some secret hidden in it.

Li Ming pursed his lips and pretended to be embarrassed: "It's like this, I've been feeling upset since you went to Japan...so I followed you to Japan, I wanted to give you some surprises Yes, but..."

"Are you surprised? There are a lot of shocks." Jiang Wenkan squinted his eyes, his attitude was a little cold, which was completely different from the current him, "But then again, Li Ming, don't you hate the sun? You don't like to talk too much. , why now..."

As Jiang Wenkan spoke, he glanced at the necklace on Li Ming's chest.

"What is this? Didn't you say that you don't like, hate these women's jewelry?"

Speaking of these words, Jiang Wenkan raised his eyebrows.

"who are you?"

He didn't know to avoid NG's necklace?
It seems that the White Night Syndrome Hospital did not have the concept of exchanging dream points three or four years ago, or this kind of necklace did not exist at that time.

"Haha..." Li Ming looked a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang Wenkan...my name is Li Ming, and it's the dawn when the sun rises, so it's not the Li Ming you know."

"I just said... Li Ming can't be like you at all." Jiang Wenkan clicked his tongue contemptuously, "If it's a prank, stay away from me, I'm investigating the matter now, in line with the principle of business, I don't want anyone to interfere with my work while the investigation begins."

"Is it about Taro Shanbai's commission?" Li Ming asked softly.

"Oh? The new client?" Jiang Wenkan's eyes sharpened, "Mr. Shanbai is really thoughtful. I said that it is enough to entrust me alone. I didn't expect to entrust so many stinky fish. shrimp."

"Haha... I hope Mr. Jiang Wenkan's attitude can be more respectful. I am from the Metropolitan Police Department." Li Ming took out an identity document that he had prepared from the inner lining of his coat and showed it to the young man in front of him. , looking like a torch, "If Mr. Jiang Wenkan speaks rudely to me again, I can arrest you for assaulting the police."

"Huh? A bunch of idiots in the Metropolitan Police Department are also among the commissioned? This is simply the funniest joke I've ever heard today."

Jiang Wenkan laughed out loud for a few minutes, calmed himself down, wiped away the tears from the corners of his brows, and then straightened up his attire.

"Mr. Liming... or Mr. What, or the police of the Metropolitan Police Department, I don't care who you are or what your status is. As I said, based on the principles of my work, I don't want anyone to disturb me."

"Otherwise?" Yuan Qingyu raised his eyebrows.

"Otherwise you can try it." Jiang Wenkan stretched his sore muscles, threatening.

On the other side, Yuan Qingyu pulled Li Ming aside: "Hey...have you always been so proud since you were young?"

"I also find it very strange, compared to now, there are completely two people... I feel that there must be some secret hidden in it." Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, and whispered.

At this time, the door of the hotel room was opened, and a man appeared in front of everyone, that is, the client Yamashiro Taro.

The death of his parents made this middle-aged man look haggard. Seeing everyone coming, he silently stepped aside and invited them into the living room, where several chairs were already set up in the background.

Jiang Wenkan glanced contemptuously at Li Ming and Yuan Qingyu who were behind him, and took his seat, and the two just sat in another corner lightly, waiting for the client to speak.

"First of all... welcome to all the private investigators and people from the Metropolitan Police Department, tsk..."

When talking about the Metropolitan Police Department, Yamashiro Taro seemed a little impatient.

"The police in the Metropolitan Police Department are really ineffective as rumored. I should have listened to my friend and went directly to a private investigator to investigate..." Taro paused, "They actually confirmed the death of my parents To fire by accident . . . is unforgivable."

"Mr. Shanbai... I am really sorry for the death of your parents, but because there was an important meeting to be held a few days ago, in order to temporarily stabilize the emotions of all parties, so the death of your parents was determined as an accidental fire. I am really sorry Feel sorry."

It has to be said that Li Ming is really not good at communication.

When he said these words, Li Ming faltered, not at all dignified like a policeman from the Metropolitan Police Department, which also attracted Jiang Wenkan's discriminating gaze.

"Did you even ignore the truth for holding those bullshit meetings?" Shan Bai said coldly, "Aren't my parents human? Are your Police Department worthless?!"

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Sanshiro."

Li Ming lowered his head to meet the anger, but in his heart he was complaining about the efficiency of the police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department. He had been mocking him when he was a private investigator. From his perspective, if the police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department would When the time comes to investigate directly, these things will not happen, right?
"Does it work to apologize?"

Shan Baitaro said angrily, waving his hands, looking aloof.

"Forget it... I can't say much to you bastards now, so let's get back to the topic as soon as possible."

"That's right, you can't let these wastes interfere with your mood." Jiang Wenkan interjected at this time, "So can you start telling the reason for your suspicion?"

"Reason for suspicion?"

Yamashiro Taro narrowed his eyes, lost in memory.

"In my eyes, my father is a very confident person. Known as the modern Da Vinci, he has made countless achievements in engineering, medicine, chemical industry and other fields. Although he is in his later years, his enthusiasm for scientific research remains undiminished."

"And on the evening of the 4th, I suddenly received a call from my father. In my father's words, he vaguely revealed his intention to retire."

"I asked my father the reason for retiring, but my father just said to me such inexplicable words as "I don't know what the consequences will be if I continue." When I asked him again if he was threatened, my father His tone suddenly became urgent, and he said, "Don't think too much, it's not something you can know!""

"An inexplicable phone call?" Jiang Wenkan recorded in the notebook he carried with him, "This is indeed a suspicious point."

"I think my father is clearly out of order at this moment, so I eagerly want to ask what happened, but my father only told him that he has made a decision and will not change it, then hung up the phone.

After this, I called back a few more times, but apart from the first few rings, it was followed by a busy tone.

Then on the afternoon of the 6th, I received the police notification of the death of my parents, so I rushed over from other cities overnight. "

"So what's your suspicion?" Yuan Qingyu asked.

"I think my father must have been threatened by others!" Shan Baitaro's voice became high.

“How come you see?”

"Because before receiving this call, my father was still promoting the research and development of an AD (Alzheimer's disease) treatment drug called Dalin Thiazole, and planned to present it at a university conference in the near future. If it is not threatened by others, it is impossible to announce the withdrawal at this juncture.”

"So I suspect that my father's death was caused by the person who threatened him, so I hope you can help me investigate this matter. Parents who have died in peace will definitely have a hard time in heaven."

These professional terms really made Li Ming a little flustered, he glanced at Jiang Wenkan who was also recording something, his expression was a little ugly.

"So do you have any suspects?" Jiang Wenkan asked.

"Yes, of course, Naoki Kurosawa, the boss of the arboreal drug company in Chiba County." Yamashiro Taro snorted softly.

"Because as far as I know, some time ago, my father and Kurosawa Naoki had a dispute over the sharing of drug profits, and there were many disagreements between the two parties in terms of historical cooperation. As the Japanese chaebol, the Kurosawa family is quite powerful. .

If anyone can make my father want to retire, then I believe only Naoki Kurosawa can do it. "
