Early morning.
" It stinks…" Iketani was awakened by a pungent smell. He realized that his body was covered in sticky black things. He immediately went to the bathroom to wash himself. After washing himself many times, he finally got rid of these dirty things.
After putting on his clothes and looking at himself in the mirror, Iketani was a little surprised by the changes in his body. He had grown taller, about 1.85 meters, and his skin had become a little whiter. At the same time, he had gained some muscles, and he felt much more energetic than before.
He did a rough check of his strength in the room. There was nothing too exaggerated like crushing a cup. It was about 50% stronger than the original foundation, still within the range of ordinary people. However, this was also within his expectations. After all, it was only a basic strengthening, and it was impossible to become superman in an instant. Now, it was almost 1.5 times stronger than ordinary people. Iketani could now fight four or five ordinary people alone without a problem.
He picked up his phone and saw that there was a text message from Yukiko and a text message from Kenji. After replying to each message, he went out to the gas station. He had delayed some time in the morning and had to hurry over.
By the time Iketani arrived at the gas station, it was already ten minutes after work hours. He was unlucky to have encountered a traffic jam on the way.
"Tuo Hai, did you notice that Iketani Senpai is a little different today? He looks more handsome!？”Seeing Iketani walk into the lounge, Ah Shu moved closer to Tuo Hai and asked curiously.
Tuo Hai nodded,"I feel it too."”
Not only Ah Shu and Takumi, but even the gas station owner was surprised by Iketani's change. However, he gave a random reason to hide it.
"By the way, Iketani, I heard that Riki and the truck driver were seriously injured in yesterday's match. They're still in the city hospital. Do you want to go over and take a look later?”The gas station owner put down the newspaper and said with a serious expression.
"That's what bad luck is all about. Racing is a very dangerous activity. I think Nakari Takeshi should have realized this. As for going over to take a look, I don't think it's necessary.”Iketani changed into his work clothes and said indifferently.
"You should be more careful when you know that racing is dangerous. Not every time the goddess of luck will be on your side. Nakari Takeshi is a good example.”The gas station owner kindly reminded him. To put it bluntly, a racer was no different from risking his life. He had seen many accidents like the one last night when he was young.
"I almost forgot. This is the money I borrowed previously!”Iketani handed over the money he had won from Nakari Takeshi to the owner of the gas station.
"You don't have to pay me back so early…"
Although the gas station owner had said so, Iketani still returned the money to him. It was good to pay back the money as soon as possible. He did not like to owe others anything.
After changing into his work clothes and leaving, he was naturally questioned by Ah Shu for a long time because of his physical changes. This caused a lot of trouble for Iketani. He thought maliciously that he had originally wanted to remind Ah Shu about the difference between 86 and 85 in the future. Now, hmph, he didn't care about him anymore!
If Ah Shu knew, he would definitely cry to death.
When it was close to noon, Kudo Yukiko drove to the gas station. At first, Iketani thought that she was here to have a meal with him or something, but from the look on her face when she got out of the car, it didn't seem to be anything good.
"Did something happen?" Iketani walked over and asked.
"We need to go to the police station. Something happened yesterday, and it might be a little troublesome.”Kudo Yukiko nodded and frowned.
After asking around, Iketani found out that the truck driver from yesterday had died this morning due to the failure of resuscitation! What was even more troublesome was that some of the goods in the car were found to be contraband. After investigation, it was found that the car was also stolen. What was originally a simple traffic accident became troublesome. As one of the parties involved, Iketani and the others had to go to the police station to make a detailed statement.
" Senior Iketani…" Ah Shu and Tuo Hai looked at him worriedly. It was not a small matter if a life was involved.
"Don't worry, this is just an accident.”Iketani comforted him. After explaining the situation to the gas station owner, he got on Akiko's GTL and headed to the Gunma Prefecture Police Station.
"It's probably not that simple. I didn't tell Ah Shu and Tuo Hai what the contraband is.”Iketani asked helplessly after getting into the car.
"It's a batch of precious jewelry that a museum in Tokyo was preparing to ship to a foreign exhibition not long ago. It was suddenly stolen a while ago, and the total value is about 200 million yen! He did not expect to find it in Gunma Prefecture.”Kudo Yukiko said in a serious tone.
Iketani frowned. 200 million yen was not a small amount, especially in Japan in the 1990s. He was unlucky to be involved in such a case.
"By the way, did you go for plastic surgery? Do you feel that you've become much more handsome?”Kudo Yukiko suddenly looked at Iketani in surprise, her tone filled with curiosity.
"If I say it's because of my practice, would you believe me?" Iketani smiled bitterly.”This change in appearance was really a little difficult for him to explain.
"Why don't you believe me? Teach me when you have the chance next time!”Arisu said with a smile, easing the somewhat frustrated atmosphere.
