[Net King] Winter Snow

The whole winter vacation has passed, and the frost and snow that disappeared with the winter wind have disappeared, but even so, the outdoor temperature is still shiveringly cold.The grayish-white tone makes this end of winter look even more bleak, and the land of Kanagawa can feel the harshness of the sea breeze because of the coast.

Genichiro Sanada met that woman in such a freezing weather.

In the flowing water noodles store near the kendo hall, Ami Uemura and Genichiro Sanada knelt and sat face to face on Japanese-style tatami mats.The plain white noodles in front of him had been on the table for a long time, and the two of them sat looking at each other in silence for about ten minutes.I don't know how long it took, Uemura Ami finally broke the dead silence and spoke.

"I'm sorry to ask Sanada-kun to come out so presumptuously, but—" the woman sitting opposite the black-haired boy paused, her eyes had lost Wen Er's past, and at the moment there was only a sharp and piercing gaze, "Some things , I think it's better for you to clarify with Yuriko."

There was no room for maneuver in Uemura Ami's tone. This woman was sitting opposite Genichiro Sanada at the moment, her straight back was the same as the noble and dignified posture she had when she was the wife of a congressman.

"Yuriko likes you, not to mention the classmates at school, even Ichiro and I know about it. I think the elders in Sanada-kun's family should know a little bit." Ami Uemura looked directly at String Sanada Ichiro, with a serious and serious expression from the beginning to the end, "It's shameful for a girl to like someone so much that everyone knows it, but it's because I didn't educate Yuriko well. If her liking is really given to Sanada-kun If it caused such trouble, I apologize for her."

"But, even so, Sanada-kun doesn't have to express your dissatisfaction with her in that way, right?" As soon as the subject changed, Uemura Ami's originally mild tone suddenly became a little tough.

"Ms. Uemura, what are you talking about?" Genichiro Sanada frowned slightly and asked questions, increasingly unable to understand the meaning of Ami Uemura's words.

"The person who proposed to expose Tian Ichiro's corruption and bribery in the first place was not Sanada Police, but Sanada-kun, wasn't it?"

Uemura Ami's words made Genichiro Sanada's body stiff for a moment. The black-haired boy didn't know what words to use to deal with the woman sitting across from him, just as he didn't expect that his actions would later be given to Uemura. Yuriko's family and situation brought about such a big reversal.

"No matter what Sanada-kun's reasons are, you have done nothing wrong with this matter, so I have no qualifications to blame you." Uemura Ami took a deep breath, closed her eyes slightly, as if thinking about something, and finally She opened her eyes slowly, with a determined expression, "But I think Yuriko has the right to know this—the person she likes sent her father to prison. This is an indisputable fact, Sanada-kun."

"The later she knows, the more vulnerable she will be. Anyone who doesn't want to see the person she has loved for many years is the culprit of her embarrassing situation. Compared to learning from others, I hope that Sanada-kun can confess this to Yuriko himself. This incident made her cut off this liking and longing earlier."

Looking at Uemura Ami's unwavering eyes, Genichiro Sanada could clearly understand the determination of the former congressman's wife at this moment.He thinks that the other party's so-called "others" should refer to Uemura Ami herself, so even if Genichiro Sanada did not obey the hope of the woman in front of him and confess to Uemura Yuriko, Uemura Ami will definitely tell the truth about the girl with two ponytails .

The difference between these probably only lies in "whether Genichiro Sanada spoke in person".

"I see, Mrs. Uemura." The black-haired boy was silent for a long time before slowly nodding his head and saying this in a deep and hoarse voice.

Sanada Genichiro felt that he should say something to Uemura Yuriko.

——About the time when he was in elementary school, he had no words to speak before the incident happened.

******

"pat-"

In the quiet classroom, there was only the sound of the uniform bag falling to the ground, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the classroom blood-red through the windows.Yuriko Uemura just stared blankly at the black-haired boy standing in front of her, her eyes widened and she couldn't say a word.

"I'm sorry, Uemura." Facing Yuriko Uemura's speechlessness, Sanada Genichiro had to speak again, "I'm sorry that this incident has brought such a big upheaval to your life."

"Cheat...?" The girl with twin tails opened and closed her mouth several times to say something, but in the end she could only spit out self-deceiving words hoarsely in an unbelievable voice, "Xianichiro, you are lying to me... …right?"

"I was the one who first proposed to my father and grandfather to report the corruption and bribery of Senator Uemura." Genichiro Sanada repeated the words that almost broke Yuriko Uemura.

"Why?" the girl murmured, her lowered head made it hard to see the expression on her face.Her eyes, which had always been bright and dazzling, were now covered by the shadow of her bangs, her shaking shoulders violently and the tears constantly dripping on the ground clearly made it clear that she was crying.

"Why!" Yuriko Uemura's words gradually became louder, until finally she bit her lower lip fiercely, grabbed Genichiro Sanada's shoulders with both hands and shook them like crazy, "Why! Why exactly! Genichiro Sanada Are you crazy?!"

"Uemura! Calm down first!" The girl's intense emotions almost tore Genichiro Sanada's uniform jacket, and the black-haired boy tried his best to suppress him. Don't you think so!"

"It's not your turn to take care of it! There are so many corrupt politicians in this country, Genichiro Sanada, why don't you arrest them one by one!" Yuriko Uemura shouted at Genichiro Sanada with red and swollen eyes, angrily Emotions made her eyes bloodshot, "Madman! Meddle in your own business! Since you have such a sense of justice, why don't you just lock me in together! Anyway, I am the daughter of Kamurata Ichiro, the daughter of a corrupt congressman. For you, it is also a hidden danger of justice!"

"Yuriko Uemura!" Senichiro Sanada yelled at the girl's name loudly, annoyed by the other party's frenzied and vexatious outbursts.Uemura Yuriko, who was still in a state of extreme anger, suddenly stopped her movements, and raised her head tremblingly, only to see Genichiro Sanada's frowning expression.

"The power in your father's hands is not small. If you let it go, it will definitely cause immeasurable consequences." Genichiro Sanada said to Yuriko Uemura with a serious expression, "Besides, at that time, your father's reputation among the public was not good. Not very good, I just don't want Congressman Uemura to make mistakes again and again."

"Keep making mistakes again and again?" Uemura Yuriko repeated what the boy said, and then she showed a mocking smile that was uglier than crying, "Hehe, Genichiro Sanada, do you think you are the savior? You put others in this way." Is it what you call justice and integrity?"

"If your father is not corrupt, you don't need to serve the prison sentence, Uemura!" Yuriko Uemura said in a tone that was almost mocking, Sanada Genichiro frowned and tried to make the other party understand him, "He did something wrong, so he just It will cause you and Mrs. Uemura to lose their original intact family. It has nothing to do with who reported him and who reported him. If I didn't do it at the beginning, someone will do it in the future!"

"Don't say that in that 'I did the right thing' tone!Just because his father did something wrong, does he deserve to be reported by you?Are you trying to say that Ichiro Kamurata is a corrupt criminal anyway, so sooner or later everyone will know how dirty he is! "Fundamentally misunderstood Genichiro Sanada's explanation, Uemura Yuriko couldn't listen to any words at the moment.

"Uemura, do you understand the meaning of corruption?" Genichiro Sanada pressed Yuriko Uemura's shoulders hard, trying to stop the other party from making violent moves, "Your father used the money that other people got from taxes, and he embezzled What is more important is the materials and engineering fees used to build the house. Those are the money that should have been used to make people happy, but now he only makes you and Mrs. Shangcun happy! This is the interest of the country, not his personal! "

"Yes, I don't understand! I'm just a country for a lifetime. Of course, you don't know as much as the savior! What's wrong with my father wanting me and my mother to live happily? It's worth your belittling him so much and going to jail for him There are so many excuses for this matter? Anyway, what you did was right, you reported and exposed Ichiro Kamurata for the benefit of the people of this country, big-hero-hero Sanada Genichiro!"

The great hero who was choked up by Yuriko Uemura's irony and drew a long tone was speechless, Genichiro Sanada took a deep breath, and he paused for a long time before recovering.The scenery outside the window has changed from a blood-red sunset to an inky blue evening tone. Sanada Genichiro calmed down a little bit, wanting to communicate with the other party calmly, "I didn't belittle your father, Uemura, this matter..."

"That's enough, don't say any more." Probably because the other party had been silent for a long time just now, Yuriko Uemura calmed down from anger to strange state at some point.The girl stopped Genichiro Sanada's words with a cold tone, and then bent down to pick up the uniform bag she had dropped on the classroom floor.

"That's it, Sanada-kun, I don't want to talk to you anymore." Patting the dust on the uniform bag, Yuriko Uemura put her hands in front of her bag, and politely said to Genichiro Sanada He bowed, "We will be strangers from now on, goodbye."

Seeing the back of Uemura Yuriko leaving the classroom, Genichiro Sanada closed his eyes, and finally did not catch up to explain anything.

It was impossible to tell who was right and who was wrong in this matter, and he couldn't justify his original behavior at this point.

The black-haired boy still remembers that he was outside his father's study when he first learned about Murata Ichiro's corruption and acceptance of bribes.At that time, he seemed to be only in the fourth grade of elementary school, and he couldn't write beautifully with a brush.

Genichiro Sanada couldn’t remember exactly why he went to find his father that day, but he could vaguely hear the voices of three people coming from outside the Japanese room door intermittently. He remembered one of them when he was young. He is a high-ranking member of parliament who can often be seen on TV.Remembering that his father had indeed said a few days ago that a distinguished guest would come to visit, Genichiro Sanada stayed obediently at the door of the Japanese room and waited for the conversation inside to end, and it was at this moment that the boy heard something that was serious to him.

"Inspector Sanada is so important at such a young age, he will definitely be promoted in the future."

"Where is it, Mr. Fujita is too exaggerated."

"It's not an exaggeration at all. This enthusiasm for promotion is almost the same as that of Uemura Councilor who has been promoted recently."

As soon as the man's voice fell, another man immediately took up the conversation, "However, Councilor Uemura was promoted by improper means through improper means. He is completely different from an honest person like Sanada."

"That's right, it's really my fault to compare Senator Uemura with Police Sanada, it's impolite."

At that time, Sanada Genichiro didn't quite understand what the so-called "improper money" refers to. It was not until later in the conversation between his father and grandfather that he was young that he understood why those two people came here.

"Rep. Fujita is here again?" Grandfather Sanada walked in from the other side door of the Japanese room after the two left.

"Yeah, this time I brought Senator Miyazawa with me. It seems that Senator Fujita was promoted by Senator Miyazawa."

"Hmph, both of them are people who want to bribe the Metropolitan Police Department to embezzle national wealth, so don't be polite to them in the future!"

"Yes, father."

So far, Genichiro Sanada has fully understood the meaning of the two people's so-called improper money, as well as the improper means of promotion.I am afraid that Uemura Yuriko's father, Uemura Taichiro, is also like those two people, constantly looking for various relationships, and using this to rise step by step.

It’s just that Mr. Fujita found his own father and was not moved by it. However, the people Mr. Uemura found through relationships may have been moved by him because of various interests, so they stepped into the wrong field together.

After knowing this, Genichiro Sanada wanted to tell Yuriko Uemura about her father more than once, but every time he was speechless in front of the girl's lively and straightforward smile.He didn't know how to talk to the other party about things like this, and how to get the other party to persuade her father not to make mistakes again.Genichiro Sanada also naively believed that, after all, the other party is Yuriko Uemura's father, so he will definitely change his ways, but things were far beyond his expectations. got a little worse.

Genichiro Sanada actually knew a little bit about this matter.It seems that Ichiro Uemura himself did not embezzle too much, but because some people can't understand him, they keep releasing false rumors that are groundless, which makes the man's reputation continue to decline.

One day in the fifth grade of elementary school, Genichiro Sanada saw from the past newspapers that a member of parliament was sentenced to death for embezzlement.When he was young, he immediately thought of the actions of Uemurata Ichiro, and suddenly, some uneasiness lingered in his heart.

Looking at Yuriko Uemura's energetic smile every day, Sanada Genichiro couldn't imagine that one day in the future, when this lively girl lost her father, how would she face the next thing.The more worried he was, the more he couldn't face Yuriko Uemura's smile, until Genichiro Sanada finally found his father and grandfather.

The two people were stunned for a few seconds after hearing their request.The little boy could hear his father asking him in a deep voice, "The daughter of Senator Uemura likes you, does it really matter?"

"I don't want Congressman Uemura to make mistakes again and again," Genichiro Sanada still remembers his answer at that time, "I don't want Yuriko Uemura to lose her father."

At that time, both his father and grandfather seemed to have spent a lot of energy collecting evidence. As he knew, although Uemurata Ichiro had been corrupt and accepted bribes, he was far from receiving as much as some other congressmen.Those amounts are indeed huge compared to ordinary families, but compared to other people's corruption, they are probably just a drop in the bucket.

Genichiro Sanada also asked his father what punishment Uemurata Ichiro would get if he really reported it like this.At that time, his father thought about the amount shown in the evidence, and said, "I will probably serve more than ten years in prison."

When the final result came down, Kamurata Ichiro was sentenced to ten years in prison.The expected result, but Genichiro Sanada was stunned for a moment.

Yuriko Uemura will not see her father for ten years. The villa she lives in, the car she rides in, and even everything else may be seized.This was a natural result, but Genichiro Sanada began to worry about whether the other party could accept such an upheaval.

When making a decision, he just felt that Ichiro Uemura had made a mistake, and in order not to let him make mistakes again and again, and also for the future of Yuriko Uemura, he had to act justly.But when things really happened like this, he began to worry about how Uemura Yuriko would live in the future, and how to face the strange eyes of others.

Most importantly, the person who caused her such an embarrassing situation was Genichiro Sanada.
