Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 68 Life is full of surprises
  In the field of private detectives in Japan, Mizuo Kaname is not very famous. Except for people in the industry, the bosses of big businesses probably only know of such a person when they are in need.

But if you ask him what he is good at, the bosses don’t know much about Shui Wei’s specific business.

This kind of thing is what Shui Wei has to do deliberately, because unlike his colleagues who have corporate backgrounds, or are simply retired police officers, they have connections in the police industry.

It's just that the most important thing that a single person who works alone needs to be low-key is to keep a low profile. On the premise of keeping a low profile, he can still survive in this industry and make money because of his excellent background investigation ability.

Because of this excellent ability, Mizuo has a good relationship with many members of the violent gang. For example, Mr. Daisuke Inoshita of the Oshima-gumi is one of his long-term customers, and the latter often needs his help with business.

What business?

Investigate the borrower's background, check his financial ability, family conditions, relatives and friends.

Collection is also a technical job, and the demand for intelligence is very large.

Mizuo Yao relies on this kind of business to make a living, so he attaches great importance to Mr. Inoshita Daisuke's business entrustment. He just came out of the Metropolitan Police Department and went to work that night.

But as soon as the work started, Mizuo Kaname spent a week conducting a detailed background check on the person named Anaka Umeko, and Mizuo Kaname felt that something was wrong.

When investigating Anaka Umeko, Mizuo Kaname easily found out that the woman was dead. He was a little surprised, but he continued to investigate.

Umeko Anaka is from Adachi Ward, Tokyo. She grew up here, studied and got married here. When she was young, she was a well-known beauty, and many people pursued her.

This is the chuuni culture in Japan. Whenever there is something special about a person, it will be publicized by people nearby. Umeko Anaka is a product of this.

Because of her fame, some talent scouts came over and threatened to take her to become a star. However, Anzhong Meizi's family was very traditional and her parents strongly opposed it. Anzhong Meizi finally completed high school.

Then she got married quickly after high school.

Here, Mizuo Kaname found the first anomaly that he felt was problematic.

The person who married Anaka Umeko was not from Tokyo. This was not surprising. The largest group of people in Tokyo were not from Tokyo. It was just that Kaname Mizuo realized that he had not been able to find out the name of the man.

From asking his neighbors, Mizuo Kaname learned that the man who married Anaka Umeko was named Fujiwara Kazuki.

But when he started with this name and conducted a detailed investigation on "Friends", Mizuo Kaname was surprised to find that the name Fujiwara Kazuki was not included in the Adachi City resident record database.

And when Mizuo wanted to investigate the marriage certificate of Fujiwara Umeko and Fujiwara Kazuki, it was real and valid, and Fujiwara Masato's household registration was indeed recorded in the government files.

At this point, Mizuo had to be sure that the name Fujiwara Kazuki was a pseudonym, but since a pseudonym could also lead to marriage, there was a problem.

If Mizuo couldn't continue to investigate, with his connections, it would be the limit to be able to find out here. He only had a few friends working in the government, and he couldn't cut off his relationship with them because of this business.

Therefore, Mizuo must quickly adjust his direction and investigate the life of Fujiwara Umeko after she changed her name back to Anaka Umeko.

The following days were very smooth and quiet. Anaka Umeko ran the Fujiwara Cafe. Fujiwara Masato started high school and had excellent academic performance. Until the latter's senior year of high school started, Anaka Umeko became addicted to drugs.

During this period, Fujiwara Kazuki never appeared, but his figure never seemed to be far away from Fujiwara Masato.

This was a turning point. When he conducted the investigation more seriously, Mizuo Kaname discovered that the person who made Anaka Umeko addicted to drugs was a member of the Maple Leaf Club, and the person who provided her with flour was still the Maple Leaf Club.

There is no doubt that Anzhong Meizi quickly deteriorated after becoming addicted to drugs... It is not convenient to go into details here about how.

In his depraved life, Mizuo Kaname also discovered that Oshima Lending Company was also involved. Because Daisuke Inoshita was a client, he did not conduct much investigation into the matter.

The fall of Umeko Anaka did not affect Masato Fujiwara's performance until the latter failed the entrance examination to the University of Tokyo due to illness.

The death of Anzhong Meizi seemed very sudden to Shui Weiyao. The death certificate issued by the hospital was meaningless to the latter. It was obviously a false certificate. There must be something wrong with the former's death.

As for why she died, it must have something to do with Masato Fujiwara's failure in college.

Not long after Anaka Meizi was buried, something happened to the Oshima Lending Company. The company's nominal owner and two debt collectors disappeared, and the company's business was suspended for a period of time.

Although they recovered quickly, there are still many people who borrowed money and took advantage of the opportunity to cheat, and then they repaid the money honestly after being punished.

If Mizuo didn't need to ask Mr. Daisuke Inoshita, he would know that some bloody conflict must have occurred here, and the three missing people must be dead.

The reason why the latter hired himself to conduct background checks on certain people must also be related to this matter.

At this point, Mizuo Kaname knew that he could no longer investigate. He was already on the verge of "missing".

So far the best.

However, curiosity killed the cat, and Mizuo was that cat now. His curiosity, professional ethics, and confidence that he would not be discovered drove him to continue investigating.

Then there was the assassination of the former leader of the Maple Leaf Club and the death of the Maple Leaf Club tiger. Both incidents broke out within two days, leaving Kaname Mizuo overwhelmed.

It was the latter who led him to visit the Metropolitan Police Department as a guest.

After reading the news, Shui Wei was in a cold sweat.

It was so dangerous. The two policemen who arrested me at that time planned to take the blame on myself. If Maple Leaf Club had not provided three scapegoats in time, I am afraid that one of the photos of the three people that appeared at the press conference was myself.

Then, the former big boss Gobayashi Keisuke died even though he went to the United States. Mizuo Kaname used his own personal channels to find out that this man died miserably. He and his son were shot to death in the car with four submachine guns.

Kaname Mizuo personally believes that the three things that happened to Maple Leaf Club, like the disappearance of Oshima Lending Company, can be related to the death of Umeko Anaka.

In addition, Mizuo Kaname also noticed that Masato Fujiwara was working part-time in a cafe called Jasmine. The owner of the cafe was Asami Inoshita.

As for Asami Inoshita and Mizuo, when they were about to investigate, they were shocked to find out that this was his client's wife.

Coincidentally, based on the resident record data, Mizuo Kaname discovered that Fujiwara Masato was very good-looking.

Oops, Mr. Daisuke Inoshita's head is in danger!
  However, all of this is conjecture. Whether it is the disappearance of Oshima Lending Company, the three attacks and assassinations of the Maple Leaf Club, and the possibility that Fujiwara Masato put a hat on Daisuke Inoshita, they are all conjectures without evidence.

It is also very simple to obtain evidence that proves the conjecture. It just requires Shuiwei to take a risk. What's the danger?
  Drive around Fujiwara's house a few times and conduct surveillance. As long as you find that unknown persons are present in Fujiwara Masato's residence and his neighborhood, it will prove that the latter's identity is different, and there are big doubts about Fujiwara Kazuki.

There is a problem with the true identity of Fujiwara Kazuki, who has not shown up since his divorce from Anaka Umeko, so the death of Anaka Umeko is definitely not normal. The latter must be angry that his ex-wife was corrupt and his son failed to get admitted to the University of Tokyo. Death is a punishment.

The three missing persons at Oshima Lending Company were also the result of Fujiwara Kazuki's revenge. Since my ex-wife has fallen into corruption and led to the destruction of my son's promising future, if you dare to get involved, then go to hell.

Kaname Mizuo's hatred of Fujiwara Kazuki can be felt from the current experiences of the families of the three missing persons. The latter are now collectively unemployed and unable to go to school. They are basically forced to leave the metropolis of Tokyo. Don't know where it went.

His hatred was so strong that even the Maple Leaf Club could not escape the disaster. The big boss and his son died tragically on the streets near the American airport.

Therefore, Mizuo Kaname was really curious whether his guess was correct.

……

Fujiwara Masato did not go home after work today. Instead, he took Inoshita Keiko's car to go to Mr. Iwaji's house.

At noon today, Naoto Iwaji made a phone call to Masato Fujiwara. There was nothing strange about the beginning of the call. The old man was asking the young junior about trivial matters about work and life.

While they were talking, Mr. Iwaji naturally asked how the relationship between Masato Fujiwara and Keiko Inoshita was developing.

At that time, Fujiwara Masato was standing next to Inoshita Keiko. The latter also heard the conversation broadcast through the loudspeaker of the mobile phone and was looking at the former with burning eyes.

Fujiwara Masato thought about how Keiko Inoshita pleased him during this period, and thought about the night the two played games together, so what else could he say?

of course……

"Very good." Fujiwara Masato pinched his throat and deliberately said in a tone that made him feel a little shy.

"It's good, haha... how good the relationship between you two is." Mr. Yanlu on the other end of the phone was very happy and laughed.

"Our relationship is developing steadily..."

"Are you free tonight? If you have time, please come to my house with Keiko Inoshita. I have some things I want to discuss with you. It's a serious matter."

Combined with Mr. Iwaji's teasing on him just now, Fujiwara Masato naturally combined the two things, thinking that the former wanted to use his identity as Inoshita Keiko's grandfather to interfere with his relationship with Inoshita Keiko.

Unexpectedly, even though I was reborn in Japan, I still couldn't escape the urging of my elders to get married.

Sure enough, there is a price to pay for playing games.

What can I do?
  Of course I'm going to Iwaji's house with Keiko Inoshita.

Now that things have come to an end, do you still want to escape?
  Fujiwara Masato and Inoshita Keiko came to Iwaji's house. After entering, the first thing that greeted them was not Mr. Iwaji's inquiry, but a Japanese-style family dinner.

The dining table in the hall was filled with dishes, and four sets of cutlery were placed beside it. From the rattling kitchen and the lively conversations, Fujiwara Masato knew that the dishes were cooked by Mr. Iwaji himself. results.

Let alone whether the dishes on this table are delicious or not, at least it can be seen from this incident that Mr. Yanlu really treats himself as a family member.

Masato Fujiwara, who was not a hard-hearted person, was naturally a little touched by the old man's attitude.

Because of this touch, Fujiwara Masato decided that no matter what Mr. Iwaji said later, he would not directly refute him.

Then it was a normal meal. Fujiwara Masato, Inoshita Keiko, Iwaji Naoto, and Iwaji Ryoko, just like a family, sat together and happily ate all the sumptuous dishes tonight.

After we had had enough wine and food, it was time to talk.

As women, Keiko Inoshita and Ryoko Iwaji naturally started to clear the table. Mr. Iwaji took Masato Fujiwara's hand and sat on the sofa and started chatting.

Before the topic even started, Fujiwara Masato subconsciously thought that he would start talking about himself and Inoshita Keiko, and he was also mentally prepared for it.

However, the first words spoken by Mr. Iwaji had nothing to do with what Masato Fujiwara thought.

"Fujiwara-kun, it's June now, and it's time to register for university exams. Are you going to take the national unified examination, or are you going to apply for the University of Tokyo through recommended admission?"

If I sign up for the national unified examination and recommend admission, can I still take the latter route?

There is nothing to say about the former. Anyone over the age of 18 is eligible to register for Japan's unified national examination. Anyone who is a fresh graduate, a social examination candidate or a college entrance examination repeater can register to take the examination.

Then after passing this exam, you can register for the university you want to attend based on your ideas and test scores, and take the entrance exam between mid-February and the end of March.

If you arrive, you can enroll. If you don't, you will be unsuccessful and please wait for the next year.

Fujiwara Masato was surprised that Mr. Iwaji gave him the second path. He was no longer a student at the school, so he could still get a recommendation from the school?
  The value of recommended admission is that it can help candidates avoid the first exam and invest time and energy in the second exam.

Does such a thing comply with the regulations?

Fujiwara Masato is not sure.

“Can I get a recommendation?”

"Your previous school has recommended an exam spot for the University of Tokyo. I can help you get it." Mr. Iwaji said.

"You don't have to worry about how to get it. I have the methods and connections... The question now is whether you are willing to take the exam at the University of Tokyo next year."

Regarding this issue, Fujiwara Masato fell into deep thinking.

　PS: Don’t go into details about Japan’s household registration and examination system, because I have never studied in Japan, so I only know about it through hearsay.

　　Just treat it as parallel Japan, original setting.
