Assistant Manager of Winter Village

Chapter 534 It's Good That You Don't Know

In the afternoon, the sunlight outside the window finally had some warmth, shining in the duty room, making people drowsy.

Yuki Yuichi rested his chin in one hand, staring blankly at a kraft paper bag on the table.

The girls whose fever has not completely subsided have gone back to sleep after taking cold medicine, and Hana gave this to him.

This is exactly what Boss Takahashi left for him.

No wonder he felt he forgot something when he went to bed last night.

He is hesitating now.

Although there was no trace of the paper bag being opened, sister Asuka strongly discouraged him from opening it now, as if he already knew what was inside.
If Boss Takahashi hadn't told him before he left, probably sister Asuka would have kept it from him.

"What's in it? The investigation results of the original owner's father's death? And something about the original owner and mandarin?"

He frowned, thinking over and over in his mind, after eliminating some options that he thought were wrong, these three remained.

He raised his head, looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and couldn't help but think of the time when he just came back to life last year.

Dazed, uneasy, scared, want to cry, but don't know why to cry, so I can't cry, so I can only howl, but after howling a few times, I feel too ashamed, so I have to hold back to the bottom of my heart.

Then until I accepted the fact, accepted the identity, accepted that there is a sister named Mikan, and accepted the embarrassment of being in debt...

He scratched his head. Thinking about it this way, it seems that a lot of troubles were solved last year.

Of course, thanks to that there.

Otherwise, no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to reach this point.

"So many hurdles have been overcome, and even the most difficult things have been solved head-on... Now that there is a brown paper bag, what is there not to dare to look at?" He said to himself, raised his hand to pick up the paper bag, and was about to tear it up. open.

But at this time, there was a soft shout at the door.

"Yuichi..."

He paused and looked up.

At the door, Asuka was holding on to the door frame with one hand, with a complex look in her eyes, she said in an almost pleading tone: "It's better not to read... at least until Mikan has surgery, okay?"

Yuki Yuichi looked at her in surprise, then looked down at the envelope that had been torn a little, and hesitated.

After a while, he said seriously: "Do you know what's inside...can you tell me the reason?"

He could tell that sister Asuka was also hesitating, otherwise, if she really didn't want him to read it, she wouldn't have given it to him yesterday.

Asuka's eyes were obviously tangled, she walked in, closed the door of the duty room, sat beside him, looked at the kraft paper bag in his hand, and whispered: "The past, let it go..."

Yuki Yuichi looked at her and shook his head slightly: "That's not enough reason."

Asuka was silent for a while, and repeated what she said just now: "Yuichi, trust my sister just once... don't read it, wait until Satsuma has undergone surgery."

Yuki Yuichi thought for a while and said, "Are you worried that I will tell her? Please rest assured about this, I will not tell her a word."

"That won't work either!" Sister Asuka shook her head, she couldn't tell whether it was pity or pity in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "If you look at it now, maybe Yuichi won't be able to face Mikan."

"Can't face mandarin again?" Yuki Yuichi frowned deeply: "What do you mean by that?"

"My sister has actually been thinking about this for the past few days. I think it's over anyway, and Yuichi is not a child, so it should be nothing... But thinking about it again, I think it's better not to know for now..."

Asuka's elder sister paused, and suddenly asked: "Yuichi, are you happy with your life now?"

Yuuki Yuichi was thinking about the first half of her sentence, when he heard the words, he hummed subconsciously: "Just wait until the mandarin is cured."

"Yuichi, what would you do if my sister said that after reading the contents now, I might not be able to live like this anymore... what would you do?"

Yuuki Yuyi scratched his head, and said helplessly, "Sister Asuka, if possible, I hope you can speak clearly, guessing riddles is quite tiring."

Asuka pointed to the kraft paper bag: "Inside this is actually Mr. Houxiong's death investigation report, including the cause of Mr. Houxiong's death, and the general life trajectory of Mr. Houxiong after he left Fukuoka... There are three copies of this brown paper bag, one I gave it to the old man of the Yucheng family, one copy is with me, and the third copy is in your hand, what my sister can tell you is that because my sister has already seen it, I don't want you to read it now."

"Teacher Takahashi told you before he left, something that my sister didn't think of."

"In the past few days, my sister has been really struggling... Yuichi, it's better not to read it."

"What has passed, let it pass."

Yuki Yuichi listened quietly, and said seriously: "From what you said, I can roughly guess something, although I don't know if the guess is accurate... But, I think I should take a look, Whatever it is, it doesn't make sense to keep hiding."

Asuka still couldn't convince him, looking at him, her cherry lips moved slightly.

"Then at least think about it for a few more days... three days, three days?"

Yuuki Yuichi fell silent.

Sister Asuka persuaded him so.

Could it be because the death of the original owner's father had something to do with mandarin?
But what can Satsuma, a child who has been bedridden all the time, do?
And after eliminating all the impossibilities, the remaining possibility is not just a possibility...

"Ou, Odo-san's death is not directly related to Mikan, is it? To earn Mikan's medical expenses, what kind of risk did he take to cause the accident?" Yuki Yuichi said suddenly.

Sister Asuka was taken aback, and couldn't help but remain silent.

Seeing her reaction, Yuuki Yu showed a sure look in his eyes.

Although the details are unclear, it is generally true.

It is only because of this that sister Asuka is worried that he might lose control of his emotions or something.

But this kind of worry seems a bit unnecessary...

Thinking about it with his toes, he knew that the original owner's father must not have gone out to have a good time.

But Hana has something to say, if it’s only to this extent, will sister Asuka be so entangled?
Yuuki Yuichi felt something was wrong, and frowned in thought.

The father took risks to earn medical expenses, but he could have come up with an accident...

He looked at Sister Asuka, and guessed again: "Is it because this risk can't be taken at all? The chance of accident is very high?"

Sister Asuka remained silent, with a wry smile in her eyes.

Yuki Yuichi was even more puzzled, as if something was wrong.

He looked down at the kraft paper bag in his hand, and after a while, there was a flash of lightning in his mind, and he couldn't help but tighten his brows: "It can't be that he knew that something would happen, but still..."

Asuka sister pursed her lips tightly.

Yuki Yuichi's heart skipped a beat, he looked at her blankly, and said with a smile, "No way? Sister Asuka..."

"..."

It's a pity that sister Asuka didn't come up with a negative sentence like "how is it possible".

The smile on his face froze instantly.

Guess it right?
How can it be!

How could there be a reason to do so!
Could it be that he wanted to use his own death in exchange for a small amount of unexpected money?
is that so?If this is the case, how stupid must it be to come up with such an idea!

He looked at the kraft paper bag in his hand, and without hesitation, he tore it open, then shook it upside down, and poured out a bunch of things.

There are papers, photos, documents and bloody hand bandages...

He didn't care about anything else, he directly picked up the "Investigation Report on Goo-san's Death" that sister Asuka just said, and read it sentence by sentence.

This is a summary of what Boss Takahashi has investigated during the half a year he has been away.

Although it is very trivial, it can be said that it is scattered, but after induction, the facts are almost restored:

"Hou Xiongsang used to be fighting underground black boxing to make money, and in recent years, the number of boxing matches he fought has increased significantly; at the beginning of last year, he received an invitation to a boxing match with a high appearance fee, and his death The odds were astonishingly high, but after thinking about it for a few days and making a few phone calls back home, he agreed to participate."

Yuki Yuichi was taken aback for a moment, the original owner's father was a black boxer?
The original owner and Mikan probably didn't know about this, right?Otherwise, it is impossible for the original owner to not even mention it in his notes.

Eh?etc!

He suddenly remembered something again.

He had just come back to life last year, and when he was worrying about a stack of bills, someone slipped a sum of banknotes that was trivial compared to [-] million, but actually quite considerable, through the crack of the door in the middle of the night.

Is it related to this matter?

He pursed his lips, his face was terribly quiet, and continued to read.

"...According to the investigation, Goo-sang's phone calls were made to Yuki-kun's school, Dongdu Comprehensive Nursing Home, and the bank; the content of the call is not clear yet, but during the investigation, it was found that Goo-sang's phone is likely to be under surveillance. The state of monitoring, but no trace of coercion was found in Hou Xiongsang, and the specific conclusion needs further confirmation."

"Before Hou Xiongsang agreed to participate, he had an abnormal late-night outing behavior, but his whereabouts were unknown, but after that, he deposited a sum of money into the nursing home account."

"The biggest winner of that boxing match was a local black merchant family; considering that Hou Xiongsang's going out before the match might have something to do with this family, the specific conclusion needs further confirmation; but what is certain is that, Hou Xiongsang's death fight had heavy traces of artificial planning,"

There is a pause here, as if the boss Takahashi who is writing has encountered some confusion.

"It's puzzling. Hou Xiongsang should be very aware of the consequences of participating in the competition, but why did he choose to participate? The specific reasons need to be investigated again..."

The handwriting on the report can clearly see the new and the old, obviously it was not written in one day, and this is obviously not all.

But that's the end of the report.

Yuuki Yu looked at the reverse side, then searched on the table, looked up at Asuka: "What's behind it?"

Asuka was looking at him, looking at the slight paleness on his cheeks, it was an expression that he guessed the truth but couldn't accept.

She said softly: "The following content can't be put on paper... Yuichi wants to ask if Hou Xiongsang's death was man-made, or why he did it?"

"All! Please tell me without any reservations!"

"All of it..." Asuka pursed her lips, and nodded her head humbly: "It was planned artificially... and Hou Xiongsang himself knows it well."

Yuuki Yuichi's heart shrank, and he said in a daze, "Eh? Is that really the case?"

He couldn't accept this fact, and his face was a little scary: "Is he threatened by someone? Or is he desperate because of lack of money? Why didn't he come to Fukuoka? Or was he turned away when he came?"

"Calm down, Yuichi..." Sister Asuka shook her head, "If Goo-san chose to come to Fukuoka, how could it be like this?"

While talking, she reached out and rummaged through the stack of photos on the table, took out one, put it in front of Yuichi Yuichi, and sighed: "This photo is really in this paper bag."

Yuuki Yuichi looked down.

In the photo, there is a photo of young Yuki Kōo and a woman in kimono covering her mouth and chuckling under the cherry blossom tree.

The photo has been damaged, and there are traces of being folded.

"She is your grandma." Asuka pointed to the woman in kimono above.

"She died in the second year after Hou Xiongsang broke up with her family, suffering from heart disease."

"When Hou Xiongsang found out, it was too late..."

"So he has been unable to forgive himself and has not come to Fukuoka."

"Probably there is no way to face that old man and sister Gongzi again?"

"For so many years, he has been living in regret and pain."

"Because of fighting black boxing all the year round, Hou Xiongsang's body has already reached its limit. His bones are broken, his internal organs are damaged, and the optic nerve in his left eye is damaged. He is almost disabled..."

Therefore, Hou Xiongsang chose such a method, hoping to be forgiven and get the care of Yuki's family for your brothers and sisters. "

Sister Asuka closed her eyes and turned her head away: "This is why Goo-san did this, and it is also all the information that Yuichi wanted to know and Takahashi-sensei's investigation."

Yuuki Yuichi was lowering his head, eyes wide open, looking at the laughing young man standing next to the woman in kimono in the photo.

A stuffy feeling in his heart made him uncomfortable.

He clenched his fists tightly, trying to say something, but no sound came out of his throat.

That's right, no matter how self-righteous this person is, no matter how willful, how much he likes to make his own opinions, no matter how stupid, no matter how bastard, it's all for Yuuki Yuichi and Mikan.

Sister Asuka took a breath, pretending to be relaxed and said: "The guy who fought with Houxiong-san died in an accident not long ago, and the guy who planned this boxing match also went to hell because of an accident... How? Knowing this Finally, do you want to relax a bit?"

Yuichi Yuki wiped his face with his sleeve: "Well, thank you for telling me this, thank you very much!"

"Yuichi, Houxiongsang... is not a good son, nor is he a good brother. He is capricious, impulsive, and always likes to be self-righteous, with countless shortcomings... But he must be a good father! So, at least you, don't Resent him for something... okay?"

　Sorry for the lateness.
