Chapter 173 Promotion Completed

After Ooka Kiyosaku invited Takato and others to have lunch, Ayukawa Tatsuya said goodbye and left, leaving only Takato and Ooka Momiji here. At this point, Ooka Kiyosaku finally began to answer Takato's questions.

"Asami Taro. I haven't heard this name for a long time."

Ooka Kiyosaku said with a sense of sadness, "I really didn't expect that the question you asked me, Detective Akechi, would be this."

It seems that Gao Yuan's question brought back the old man's memories, Ooka Kiyoshi said with great emotion.

"Taro Asami, he is a student who has left a particularly deep impression on me over the years of teaching. Even after more than twenty years, he is still fresh in my memory."

"So, Professor Ooka, do you know where Taro Asami is now?"

Gao Yuan asked again with some anxiety.

It's a pity that Ooka Kiyosaku shook his head.

"No, I don't know exactly where Taro Asami has gone, whether he is alive or dead."

Ooka Kiyosaku said, "If I have to say it, I haven't heard any news about him for more than ten years, since the fire in the laboratory."

"Labor fire?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan noticed many details revealed in Ōoka Kiyosaku's words - there was a fire in the laboratory more than ten years ago, which shows that Ōoka Kiyosaku knew that Asami Taro had gone after graduation. where.

"That's right."

Taro Asami said with some regret, "About sixteen years ago, there was a fire in the drug laboratory where Asami worked. Since then, I have never received any news about Asami."

"That is to say, after Asami Taro graduated, you still had contact with him, right?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"That's right."

Ooka Kiyosaku said with some regret, "He is my most proud student. He showed extraordinary talent in pharmacy when he was a graduate student at Toto Medical University. It can be said that with his ability, he can definitely enter a university with better conditions." "

Karasuma Group?

It’s really surprising to hear this name in a place like this!

Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but the fact that Asami Taro might be related to the organization was not unexpected. But just with these news, Gao Yuan still couldn't clarify his thinking.

"By the way, Professor Ooka, do you know if Taro Asami had a close friend of the opposite sex more than twenty years ago?"

Gao Yuan thought for a while and asked tentatively.

"When you say that...it seems like there is one."

Ooka Seisaku tried hard to think and recalled, "Asami was very popular in school, and many female students had a crush on him, but he had never had an overly close relationship with any female student. Until that day, I saw I met a young woman from outside the school and had a close chat with Asami for a long time. I remember it was late at night..."

One night more than twenty years ago, in the experimental building of Dongdu Medical University——

Ooka Kiyosaku had just completed an experiment and was already exhausted. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Ooka Kiyosaku was already over fifty years old. Such a laborious and time-consuming experiment was not suitable for him. He shouldn't have done it himself, but because his favorite disciple Asami Taro suddenly left during the experiment, Ooka Kiyosaku had no choice but to do it himself.

Now that the main experiment is finally over, all that remains is for the students to continue staring at the data in the laboratory. Looking at the sky getting so late, Ooka Kiyosaku just wanted to go back and rest quickly. After all, there was an academic conference to attend early tomorrow morning.

However, after leaving the laboratory and walking in the experimental building, Ooka Kiyosaku suddenly heard the sound of someone talking at the corner of a staircase not far away. And listening to the voice, one of them seemed to be Taro Asami who left midway through the experiment.

I thought Taro Asami left midway because of something, but I didn't expect that others were still staying in the experimental building. So why didn't he come back earlier to continue the experiment?

Thinking like this, Ooka Kiyosaku was a little angry, so he walked in the direction of the sound. Ooka Kiyosaku wanted to see what his favorite disciple was doing.

"Louis, don't embarrass me!"

As soon as he leaned over, Ooka Kiyosaku heard what Taro Asami said.

"But! Cointreau! Apart from you, I have no one I can rely on now!"

At this time, a woman's voice sounded, with a hint of sobs in her tone.

At this point, Ooka Kiyosaku has also reached the stairs, where he can see the two people talking. At the corner of the stairs with dim lights, his student Asami Taro is pressing his hands on On the shoulders of a beautiful woman in her twenties, there was a trace of tears on that woman's face.

But at this time, Asami Taro and this woman also naturally discovered the appearance of Ooka Kiyosaku.

"teacher!"

Seeing Ooka Kiyoshi, Asami Taro retracted his hand and said so. The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then left seemingly shyly.

"That one is..."

"She...is my girlfriend."

Facing Ooka Kiyosaku's question, Asami Taro replied with some anxiety.

Hearing this, Ooka Kiyosaku was a little surprised, "A fight?"

"Well... almost."

Asami Taro said a little embarrassed.

In this regard, Ooka Kiyosaku couldn't say anything. He wanted to have a good talk with him as an elder, but after all, he was tired. Faced with the emotional entanglement of a young man, he really couldn't blame him casually, so Ooka Kiyosaku only mentioned that Taro Asami should not forget his experimental subject and left.

"Louis? Is Taro Asami's girlfriend a foreigner?"

Gao Yuan asked slightly surprised after listening to Ooka Kiyosaku's narrative.

"no."

Ooka Kiyosaku said, "This should be just a nickname between lovers. That's what Asami told me later."

Then, seemingly a little disappointed, Ooka Kiyosaku said:

"But unfortunately, Asami's later marriage partner was not the woman I met that day."

But Gao Yuan was already a little absent-minded—Louis? That's exactly what a person's name sounds like. But what Louis said, the strangely pronounced word that sounded like "frame", was it really a nickname that showed affection between lovers?

"Detective Akechi, do you have anything else to ask?"

Ooka Kiyosaku looked at Gao Yuan's expression at the moment and asked.

"No...no more. I'm really troubling you this time, Professor Ooka."

Gao Yuan came back to his senses and said.

Then, after briefly staying at Ooka Kiyosaku's residence, Takato followed Ooka Momiji and left here.

Sitting in the car, Gao Yuan began to take out his mobile phone, preparing to search for something. However, how to spell the word that sounded like "frame"? Of course, it may also be a problem with Ooka Kiyoshi's English pronunciation. Therefore, Gao Yuan had to give up the search first.

However, Taro Asami went to the Karasuma Group after graduation. From this point of view, this person should have something to do with the organization. In this case, if the person Hanada Kochi was looking for back then was him, then the whole thing would Things are a little thought-provoking!

"By the way, Mr. Mingzhi, please accept this."

At this time, Ooka Hongye took out a check and handed it to Gao Yuan.

"My uncle asked me to pass this on to you. Because my father and my uncle discussed the matter of rescuing me yesterday and what happened today, I still feel that I can't say nothing, so I must ask you to accept it!"

In response, Gao Yuan took the check with some fear. Looking at the amount of 30 million written on it, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suppressed the joy in his heart.

"All challenge tasks have been completed, now the settlement phase three begins."

At this moment, the settlement panel appeared!

USA, New York, in a high-rise apartment——

The spacious flat-floor apartment was now brightly lit, and a blond girl wearing a pink suspender skirt and pajamas was packing her luggage in the bedroom. But it seemed that there were too many clothes. The girl looked at the clothes covering the bed, and then at the suitcase with hooks beside her, and couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.

However, just as the girl continued to struggle, a phone rang, interrupting the girl's thoughts.

Barefoot, she lazily walked out of the bedroom, letting a strap of her pajamas slip off her shoulders. She came to the mobile phone placed on the table in the living room. Looking at the caller ID of the unknown number, the girl answered impatiently. Picked up the phone.

"Louis... I heard that you are coming back?"

As soon as he answered the phone, an old male voice rang from the other end of the phone. When hearing this voice, the girl showed a wicked smile:

"It's you, Camus. Why, are you still alive?"
