Chapter 137
"I'm back!"
When Arata got home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Looking at her mother who was watching TV and folding clothes in the living room, Arata said hello and planned to go back to her room.
"Oh, by the way, Arata! Just now, Mr. Tanakura said that there will be some interviews with wild boars this week, and he asked you to contact him as soon as possible after you come back!"
"Wild Boar...ah...it's "Wild Boar Makeover", I know mom!"
After Arata finished speaking, he quickly took out his cell phone, only to find that it had long been out of battery. No wonder Mr. Takura called home!
Seeing the puzzled looks on his mother's and Ryoko's faces, Arata just smiled and returned to the bedroom. After he fell on the bed, recalling the dinner he had at Miki's house, he suddenly felt an unfinished feeling in his heart.
Feel.
"Kobe steak really deserves its reputation! It would be great if I could eat it more often in the future!"
After savoring the lingering aroma of Kobe steak between her teeth, Arata had to put aside her worries about Miss Takamatsu's family and then charged up her cell phone.
After about a quarter of an hour, Arata turned on his cell phone. Who knew that as soon as he turned on the cell phone, four or five missed calls from Mr. Tagura appeared on the screen.
"Moses? Moses? New Tai, you finally called me back!"
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Tamakura! My phone ran out of battery just now and I just got home!"
"Why so late?"
"Forehead!"
Although it was Mr. Tagura's casual question, Arata still realized that he had been careless just now. After all, there were many unspeakable things about Miki's relationship with him, and this matter must not be known to the office.
"Ah... our school's field team is conducting special training recently, and there is no work during this period, so I practiced a little more!"
"Oh, that's it! Let's not talk about it for now. "Wild Boar Makeover" invites you to come for an interview this Friday. You should take the time to prepare. After all, this is an important supporting role!"
"It's so fast! Please rest assured, I will definitely do my best!"
When Shinta heard Mr. Tanakura's encouragement, he naturally agreed. But at the moment, he still couldn't figure out what the relationship between this new drama and the wild boar was. It couldn't be that he was actually acting with the wild boar!
That night, Arata had been thinking about Miss Takamatsu. Suddenly, she saw that her parents had lost contact, and a group of strangers were looking for her everywhere. This made Arata think that there might be some complicated reason behind this incident.
So he thought of asking Ichiro about the case.
At breakfast the next day, Arata finally met Ichiro, who had come back at some unknown time last night. Seeing that his father was busy again, Arata knew that there might be another troublesome case.
"Oudou-san, when will the results of the promotion exam come out? Are we still waiting for your good news?"
After Liangzi put down the soup bowl, she couldn't help but ask Ichiro about the exam with some anticipation. It had been almost a week since the last exam ended. She didn't know when good news would come.
"Ah... there are new cases at work recently! I don't have time to care about the results of the promotion exam now. However, it is said that those who pass will be notified to participate in the next interview. To be honest, I am not interested in this time.
I have no hope of getting promoted!"
"No! I'm still looking forward to Odou-san giving me a gift after he gets promoted! I bought my coat last year and I've wanted to change it for a long time!"
"Ah... As for the jacket..."
As Ichiro spoke, he carefully glanced in the direction of his mother, Junko. It wasn't until he saw his wife turned away that he lowered his voice and whispered:
"You see how much you need, Odousang will give it to you secretly!"
"Long live! I knew you were the best!"
…
"Eh!"
Watching the conversation between his father and Ryoko, Arata felt goosebumps rising. However, when he thought of what happened to Miss Takamatsu yesterday, Arata pretended to be casual and said:
"Ah, by the way, Odou-san! I thought I saw on the news yesterday that another person died in the capital!"
"You kid, why do you worry about these things all day long? In such a big city, what's so strange about dead people!"
"No, Odou-san! The gentleman who died seemed to be the director of the Plaza Win Club. In fact, not long ago, I went to the horse farm of their president, Mr. Takamatsu! Tell me, is this a coincidence?"
"Have you been to the Takamatsu family's horse farm? When was it? How do you know such a big shot?"
"Well, I went with Sanji, so it's part of the job!"
Arata said casually, but saw that his father seemed to be hesitant to speak. It seemed that... he was indeed involved in this case!
"Actually, the situation that night was like this. That day, Sanji and I were invited to attend the birthday party of Miss Kana of the Takamatsu family. But what was a little strange was that we didn't see Mr. and Mrs. Takamatsu that whole night. You said... this
Isn’t it a little strange? Even though it’s my daughter’s birthday, I have to come out to receive the guests no matter what!”
"Hey, this is actually happening? Then tell me, what did you do that day?"
"Eh? Odou-san, are you in charge of this case?"
"I……"
Seeing that his expectations were suddenly seen through by Arata, Ichiro couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. But since Arata was also one of the parties involved, Ichiro naturally wanted to know more things from Arata.
"Let's not talk about my work. Tell me, that day when you went to the Takamatsu family's horse farm, who did you see and what did you do?"
"Uh... I remember meeting the two young ladies from the Takamatsu family, Kana and Shizuka, but there were too many people that night, so I didn't talk to them much. Ah, and... I was at her house that day.
In the garden, Ms. Takamatsu Kana performed a wonderful equestrian performance. As for the rest, it seemed nothing special!"
"Oh...didn't their father show up that day?"
"No, the housekeeper is responsible for the reception. However, it is indeed a racecourse owned by a wealthy family. It is really luxurious there!"
"Hey... I really want to see it too!"
Just when Arata and Ichiro were talking about the Takamatsu family's birthday party, Ryoko interrupted the conversation between them with a look of longing. Then, her mother Junko urged:
"Okay, if you don't leave, you'll be late!"
"Ah...really, I almost forgot the time!"
