The next day, Hanyu Kiyosu took Toru Amuro to see Director Hakuba. The location was in a quiet villa area, not far from Suzuki's house.
While waiting for someone to pick him up at the door, he looked in the direction of Suzuki's house, wondering if he would stop by for a visit later.
Not long after, Director Hakuba arrived, still using the familiar "long-lost greeting". Hanyu Qingyasu felt that this was probably not the mantra of the old fox. The two of them had seen each other in such a short time in Tokyo.
After exchanging pleasantries, we finally got to the main topic.
"The situation this time is indeed very special, so we bothered Master Hanyu to come to the door in person. However, in order to reduce Master Hanyu's trouble, we have brought another client here."
Talking about two commissions at the same time, and a funeral commission, is a bit outrageous. Could it be that two rich people would sit together and ask Mouri Kogoro to investigate the mistress?
Hanyu Kiyosu suddenly wanted to ask about the Mori Detective Agency. What if there really is one?
Director Baima first took him to a guest room on the first floor, where the bed had been removed, and in the center of the empty room was a freezer - the kind specially used to store corpses.
"The client's body is a little incomplete, so I would like to ask Master Hanyu to see if it can still be awakened, so that he can have time to explain his funeral and so on."
Director Hakuba was a little vague, and Hanyu Qing'an felt that something was not right. He stepped forward and took a look. The transparent coffin lid was tightly covered with white cloth.
Director Baima signaled his accompanying subordinates to come forward and open the freezer. He lifted the white cloth and took a look. Sure enough, it was incomplete and the head was missing!
Hanyu Qing'an stared at Director Hakuba without saying a word, Headless, you want me to be resurrected as a ghost?
Director Baima also knew that this was a bit unreasonable, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master Hanyu also knows that I am just an ordinary person, so I don't know much about those mysterious things. I really don't know where the soul resides in the head or the body.
Clearly, I have no choice but to ask Master to come in person..."
Hanyu Qingxin said that this was just to let him verify their conjecture, right? Did they really kill someone just for this?
For a moment, there was something wrong with the way he looked at Director Baima.
Director Baima felt his gaze and quickly explained: "The name of the person who passed away unfortunately was Shigehiko Tonkou, and he was a member of parliament. Because the cause of death was related to some sensitive cases, the news will not be announced until some time later.
"
Hanyu Qing'an nodded slightly. If he really wanted to do experiments, he shouldn't have such a status, but...
"Mr. Ganshan from last time..."
Director Baima nodded, "I have something to do with him, so the problem now is very complicated and involves many aspects."
Hanyu Qingan is clear. It seems that the possibility of coincidence is higher. At most, these people took advantage of the situation, which is understandable.
And Japanese politicians...even the aborigines here can't stand it, so...whatever.
"Then...Master, look at this client..."
Hanyu Qing'an didn't say anything. He thought in his heart that it shouldn't work, but who knows about the system? Let's give it a try.
Put on blue hunting clothes, summon the peach blossom demon, green light falls on the corpse, nothing happens...
So, it feels right, but it really doesn’t work.
Director Baima witnessed it with his own eyes and said nothing more, "In that case, please ask Master to arrange a funeral date for Councilor Tunkou."
Hanyu Qingan nodded, and Toru Amuro would naturally discuss the rest, including the cost and so on.
"Another client is upstairs, please follow me."
Director Hakuba led Hanyu Qing'an upstairs and explained: "Actually, if it was just Councilman Tunkou, we would have visited him directly instead of bothering Master Hanyu to come in person."
Hanyu Qingxin said that there was no need for it, as there was no one who would come to ask for a coffin.
"But the client upstairs is currently in critical condition and cannot come to see the master in person."
When Hanyu Qing'an heard that the client was still alive, he was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no problem, and it was not a taboo to arrange funeral arrangements in advance, but he was used to talking about commissions with dead people, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.
Already.
Following Director Hakuba, Hanyu Qingan walked through the long corridor and came to a gorgeous bedroom. The room was very large and had the feel of a room that could fit a "300-square-meter bed" - of course it was not that exaggerated.
Already.
But I can clearly hear the echo when I talk here, and I don’t know if it’s too scary to live in such a big room.
Director Hakuba respectfully walked to the bedside and said hello to the old man lying on it, and then asked Hanyu Qingan to come forward and chat with the patient in person.
"These days, thanks to Master Hanyu's blessing, I have been able to survive until now."
The patient was very angry when he spoke, and he looked like he was indeed dying. The general meaning was that he had been relying on Hanyu Qing'an's new business to survive recently, and he had solved some things.
You can even use the time at night when your vitality is slightly more abundant to carry out some more radical treatments. However, because you are still weak during the day, the effect is still not very good. Your body is getting worse and worse, and you can no longer endure it.
Informed doctors finally came up with two plans after research. One is to perform the surgery at night when the vitality is strong, but it is very likely that the patient will die at dawn due to the rapid decline in vitality, which will lead to an instant deterioration of the condition and direct death.
Second, relax, don't think too much, and spend the last period of time happily.
They are already lying in bed and tortured by illness every day, and they are really old. Even if they regain their vitality at night, they are too old to do anything. What else can I choose?
So I asked Hanyu Qing'an to come and settle the funeral arrangements first, and then do the surgery. By the way... I also asked if there was any other way.
For example...can't you really "bless" during the day?
The patient was a little tired, so Director Hakuba took Hanyu Qingan to the study next door for a chat, allowing the patient to calm down before explaining the funeral arrangements.
Director Hakuba bowed and said: "This is an elder whom I respect very much, so please leave it to Master Hanyu."
Hanyu Qing'an couldn't help but start to wonder if it was time to take a tough stance again. From the beginning, he never expected these people to stay peaceful. His previous purpose was just to get rid of those blatant harassments.
So the current situation is expected.
He had already thought of a plan to deal with the subsequent long-term tension from the beginning - to use soft and hard tactics, to be tough when necessary, soft when necessary, and to maintain a good rhythm.
So, is it time to be tough again?
At this moment, the door to the study room suddenly opened, and Suzuki Sonoko walked in. She looked at Hanyu Qingan in surprise, "Why are you here too?"
Hanyu Qing'an glanced at Director Hakuba, who was still bowing, and thought to himself, yes, this old fox is really cunning and knows who can make him soften.
Before Hanyu Qingan could answer, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly understood and couldn't help but cover her mouth, "If you come, does that mean that Grandpa Fujiwara has..."
"No, but... it will be soon." Hanyu Qing'an shook his head slightly, and then asked, "You have a good relationship with that... old man named Fujiwara?"
Fujiwara? Why does this last name sound so familiar?
