The meeting with Asuka Watanabe was just a small episode. When Chihara Hiroshi returned to the hotel room, Takayasu Mizawa had already returned and was squatting in front of his paper plastic chessboard, with a bunch of chess pieces on his hand.

Hearing the movement, he looked up and saw that it was Hiroshi Chihara, and the first sentence was:

"How is it? Have you won?"

Chihara Hiroshi nodded and asked:

"And you?"

"I won, too."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

But then, Mizawa Takayasu turned his gaze to the chessboard in front of him, invited him to sit down, and said:

"I'm reviewing today's game, let's take a look."

As he said that, he sighed:

"To be honest, it was a lucky win today. If the other party hadn't taken a step at the final stage, I wouldn't have won him in the end."

Hiroshi Chihara sat down and looked at the chessboard.

Depending on the situation, the review was only halfway through, but Mizawa Takayasu took back most of the pieces and returned to the opening stage.

"Look," he pointed to a position on the chessboard. "This move, Sansan, last time, Mr. Jiuli said it very much. I thought that using this move would achieve unexpected results. The result was that from here, the situation developed in an unfavorable direction..."

After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly added:

"I'm not saying that this trick is not good, but I just can't use it..."

Hiroshi Chihara told him to rest as he was calm, picked up the chess piece that originally belonged to him, and then the hand continued to move three-three. Two minutes later—

"Look, if this happens, the situation will be much better?"

He put down the chess piece and continued:

"Mr. Sanze, this trick of Sansan is just a new idea. If you are not skilled, there is no need to force this trick, otherwise it may result in backfire like today."

Mizawa Takakang pondered for a moment, held his knees with his hands and said solemnly:

"I've received the teachings, Mr. Chihara, thank you!"

Hiroshi Chihara knew that he was a serious person, so he was not humble and calmly accepted the gift. He stood up and poured himself a glass of water.

"Kun Chihara, do you need to review it?"

"I've already resumed the game after the game, thank you."

After hearing what he said, Takayasu Misawa began to pack up the chess pieces.

Seeing this, Chihara Hiroshi was a little surprised:

He had obviously seen him review only half of the time before, so why did he give up now?

"Manzejun, won't you continue to review?"

Mizawa Takayasu shook his head:

"The next situation is probably the extension after the first move. I didn't make any major mistakes, so there is no need to continue."

After saying that, he showed a mysterious smile:

"Kun Chihara, do you know what I found at noon today?"

Hiroshi Chihara followed his words and asked:

"What?"

"A chess hall!" Mizawa Takayasu showed excitement, "Just on the street near the hostel, I also saw several chess players living in the hotel!

"How is it, Qianyuan Jun, are you going?"

Hiroshi Chihara glanced at the clock on the wall. It was just three in the afternoon and there was enough time, so he nodded:

"Well, let's go together."

To be honest, he was also curious about the chess hall in Tokyo and wanted to compare the differences with the Osaka chess hall.

The two closed the door and went downstairs.

Under the leadership of Takayasu Misawa, they soon arrived at a relatively secluded street, but the noise not far away attracted their attention.

"The chess hall is there?" Qianhara Hiroshi turned around and asked when he saw his pace.

And Takayasu Mizawa also showed doubts:

"It's obviously not like this at noon..."

Generally speaking, chess halls are similar to teahouses. Most people just come in with the intention of spending time. It is not uncommon to talk and chat, but it is strange to develop into noisy.

After getting closer, the two realized that it was not the chess hall that made the noise, but the gallery store next door.

But at this time, a group of people watching the fun were gathered at the entrance of the chess hall.

At the entrance of the gallery store, a young couple was pulling and pulling, one man and one woman, mainly men scolding women.

Although the man was wearing formal clothes, his hair and beard had obviously not been repaired for a long time. He looked a little sloppy, and he was holding a stack of paintings in his arms, all wrapped in exquisite picture frames;

Women are much cleaner and tidy, but they are full of impatient faces and only occasionally say a few times.

After listening for a long time, the two of them were talking and talking about each other, they finally figured out the whole story.

It turned out that some time ago, the two were still boyfriend and girlfriend. During their relationship, the woman encouraged the man to buy a lot of valuable paintings in this gallery, but in the end they got the end of the breakup.

Later, the more the man thought about it, he became more and more wrong. He came to this gallery again, but found that his ex-girlfriend was actually an employee of the gallery?

What's even more traumatic is that this woman is already married and is the wife of the gallery owner!

The man immediately realized that he had been cheated, so he held the painting he had bought before and asked for a refund.

"This man is so stupid!"

Hiroshi Chihara turned around and found that the person who was talking was a young man, Ueda Yusuke, who he met in the first game of the group stage!

The other party obviously recognized him, blinked his eyes, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up suddenly:

"Are you Chihara?"

Hiroshi Chihara was a little surprised that he could meet him here, so he nodded to him and introduced Mizawa Takayasu beside him.

Yusuke Ueda continued to look into the middle of the crowd and introduced to the two:

"In fact, this kind of fraud was very common in the past few years, but those people think it's just a normal product promotion.

"Those paintings are probably printed in factories, but in their mouths, they become works by famous art school students, or works by some county and city painters that few people know about, which makes it difficult to verify and also imply that there is a possibility of value-added.

"Most of people will pay out more than 100,000 yen, but the paintings they bought may not have the frames that are worthwhile."

Yusuke Ueda said a few times, and his sarcasm was beyond words.

"Now that I've been discovered, the gallery should refund the money, right?"

Mizawa Takayasu has some sympathy for this man:

Ordinary fraud is just a loss of money, and the person in front of him is not only deceived by money, but also deceived by feelings.

Double blow, really pitiful!

Yusuke Ueda curled his lips:

"It won't go back. It could have been resolved privately, but now it's already open. The gallery will not set this precedent, otherwise there will be a lot of troubles coming to you.

"And, maybe in a few days, this gallery will be moved away, and there is no place to find someone if you want to find someone."

"What about calling the police or going to the court?" Chihara Hiroshi asked.

"Here, isn't the police coming?"
