Things always develop beyond human expectations. After Shizuo Komemon took Machiko Dai upstairs, he found that the lights in the emergency room had gone out.
"What's going on?" Shizuo Komemon frowned slightly and asked Suzuki Ayako who was standing aside.
The old curator's condition was fine on the way here. Wouldn't it suddenly deteriorate and disappear?
Suzuki Ayako said happily: "The old gentleman has been rescued. Fortunately, he is fine. It would be really bad if Komemon-san is charged with murder because of me."
As she said that, she noticed Machiko Dai and asked with a slight hesitation: "Is this a friend of Komemon-san?"
Machiko Dai quickly introduced herself: "Hello, I am Machiko Dai from Miki Law Firm. I am here to help negotiate compensation matters."
Suzuki Ayako was startled for a moment, and then said: "Well, I have negotiated with the old gentleman to resolve the matter. Please make a trip to Miss Dai."
Machiko Dai was also stunned, but she quickly responded, "Oh, that's good, that's fine too."
"..." Shizuo Komemon had a dark look on his face, "You are my lawyer now, don't you need to ask for my opinion?"
Machiko Dai shrank her neck, thinking that lawyer Gu Meimen originally meant the same thing, and she defended in a low voice: "But isn't this good?"
"Suzuki-san..."
As soon as Komemon Shizuo opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Suzuki Ayako, "Well, you can call me Ayako. Otherwise, wouldn't it be inconvenient for Komemon-san to call me and Sonoko at the same time?"
The reason is very good.
"Then... Ayako-san, what request did the curator make? If it's unreasonable, I'll ask Kensuke to come over and handle it. And after all, it was me who did this, so it's me who should be held responsible."
Suzuki Ayako had an admiring expression on her face after hearing this, which made Shizuo Komemon feel a little uncomfortable.
"The old gentleman hopes that I can buy that art gallery..."
"Huh???" Dai Machiko's eyes widened, "Isn't this too much? Even for a small art museum, the construction part alone costs more than one billion yen, right? With the scale of that art museum,
There’s definitely more to it than that.”
Suzuki Ayako quickly waved her hands and explained: "That's not the case. The old gentleman does not intend to ask for any shares. He only asked me to promise not to sell those works of art no matter what, and to promise that I will continue to operate the business."
Before Shizuo Komemon could react, Machiko Dai's face turned green.
"This is even more outrageous! Buying at least the architectural part and some artworks of the museum is valuable in itself, but the annual operating expenses are more than 100 million yen!
I also know something about that art museum, but few people visit it, and the ticket revenue can’t cover much of the expenses. The annual losses are a huge sum, so it can’t continue.”
After Machiko Dai finished speaking, she turned to look at Shizuo Komemon, "Komemon Criminal, your deposit, Komemon's lawyer, has already told me. It's definitely not enough. Do you really plan to take responsibility?"
Shizuo Komemon: "..."
Suzuki Ayako said quickly: "It doesn't matter. This incident happened like this because of me. It's natural for me to be responsible."
Shizuo Komemon frowned, "Miss Dai, go discuss it with the curator and see if you can change the conditions and make more compensation..."
Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and said, "Forget it, no need."
He was very aware of the obsession of the old curator, who would even kill someone to save the museum, so he would definitely not miss this opportunity to change his mind.
Seeing that he had to bow his head to the rich daughter, accept the other party's responsible plan, and eat soft food in disguise, Fumikato Shizuo suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
How could the other party just happen to be ambushing there? And then seize the opportunity to strike a chord? Is it really just a pure coincidence?
Shizuo Komemon believes that the other party has a reason for cheating.
If you just overheard the conversation between the two and learned the identity of Suzuki Ayako, and wanted the Suzuki family to take over the art museum, the normal approach would be to identify yourself out loud and then stand up for negotiation, instead of rushing over to scare people, right?
Nothing looks right no matter how you look at it.
In addition, at first glance, even if it is a coincidence, it should be because Shizuo Komemon himself and Suzuki Ayako talked about acquiring an art museum, which caused the old curator to have this idea.
But...his intuition told Shizuo Komemon that even if he didn't mention this kind of thing at the time, trouble would still happen.
Because the whole thing reeks of research!!!
This does not require any evidence or reason. Shizuo Komemon is very confident.
The whole experience of this incident flashed through Shizuo Komemon's mind.
A date invitation...I refused...Kanjie showed up at the crime scene...Misleading words...I went to the art museum to confirm the situation...I talked to the security guards to enter the closed art gallery...The armor suddenly rushed from behind...
There are many possibilities in every link. It doesn't seem like humans can control the direction of the whole thing, but there are indeed many doubts in it.
Shizuo Komemon suddenly focused his thoughts on one of the key points - entering the art museum.
This point was brought up by Suzuki Ayako. If she had not brought it up, the following things would not have happened.
Did Suzuki Ayako know something from the beginning...but it wouldn't do her any good if this happened, right?
Shizuo Komemon didn't want to speculate on this gentle girl with malicious intent, but how did Kensuke do it?
He took a deep breath, pressed his swollen temples, and said with confusion, "Ayako-san, I have a question for you."
"Hi." Suzuki Ayako responded quickly and seriously, "Kumemon-san, please feel free to ask."
"Why did you choose that art gallery as the meeting place? Please answer truthfully."
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Suzuki Ayako said worriedly: "My sister Sonoko suggested it. She said that this art museum is about to close down. If you don't come and see it, you won't be able to see it in the future."
Komemon Shizuo frowned and continued: "Please call Sonoko-san and ask her why she suggested going to that art museum."
"Hi." Suzuki Ayako immediately took out her mobile phone and started dialing Suzuki Sonoko's number.
Machiko Dai was confused and said: "So, what exactly is the Gumeimen criminal going to do now?"
"Just stay quiet." Shizuo Komemon said impatiently.
Machiko Dai was so angry that she was bossed around by Gu Meimen's lawyer in the middle of the night, and ended up being disliked by Gu Meimen's criminal justice. Both brothers were too much!
"Yuanzi, it's me."
"Ah, sister, how's it going? Did the date go well? Did you encounter any surprises?" Suzuki Sonoko's teasing voice sounded.
Suzuki Ayako looked at Komemon Shizuo, who motioned for her to ask.
