" If I'm not wrong," he said, pretending to be deep in thought." Negishi-kun should be going to Kansai. I remember that he's been reading some books about Kansai recently."”
"Kansai?" Jin Sheng looked troubled." The Kansai region is so big. Where can I find Mr. Negishi…"
" Oh, right, right. When he was chatting, he seemed to have mentioned his Kansai tourism plan. Let me think about it…" As if he had remembered something, he said while hammering his left palm with his right hand.
"I think…I'll go to Himeji City first, then I'll go to Yoshino Mountain in Nara, drink Kobe sake, eat Matsuzaka beef, and finally…Ah, right, right, I'll go to Yukoto Hot Spring before coming back.”
Jin Sheng had already fished out a small notebook from somewhere and was seriously memorizing what he had said.
In fact, he was sneering in his heart. There was clearly something fishy about this Abefeng. The trip he was talking about was obviously to make them run around Kansai.
The most obvious result of this was that they would delay the best time to find Negishi Masaki and eliminate interference for his final design.
This conversation allowed him to further confirm who was the real ghost in this strange commission.
Now, it seemed that it was almost certain that it was him. When he heard that Jin Sheng was here to find Negishi Masaki, his expression changed subtly, and then he began to randomly point in the direction.
"Ah, thank you so much! Thank you!" Jin Cheng had an excited expression as he bowed several times to express his gratitude.
"Aiya, this is just a small matter. It's not a big deal." It's getting late. I'll go to the publishing house first. Please go ahead.”
Abetoya's words and actions gave off a kind and amiable feeling, making people unable to feel disgusted or wary.
If Jin Cheng hadn't come to see him with suspicion, he might have really thought that this was just an honest elder.
"Ah, a famous person in Taige." When he walked to the door, he seemed to have seen someone familiar and greeted him in surprise.
" Good morning, Mr. Abu." The voice belonged to a gentle man. He was at the corner of the door, but he could only hear his voice and not see him.
"With your strength, it's only a matter of time before you become the best player in the Go world.”said Abetoya with a smile, as if he hadn't sensed the change in tone.
The person's tone suddenly became very serious."Mr. Kabe, there are still many outstanding players in the Go world. I would never dare to call myself the best.”
"It's him?" Jin Cheng saw a person who made him slightly surprised.
This guy was the one Jin Cheng had met at the Mi Hua Library the last time. He was the man sitting opposite Jin Cheng and reading the game manual.
He still had a sloppy appearance, and the beard on his chin looked like it had not been shaved for a long time.
"Good morning, Mr. Haneda." The administrator was very tactful. When the man was in a bad mood, he did not mention the title of "Taige Celebrity", which was easy to provoke.
"Mr. Administrator." Haneda-san greeted the administrator. Perhaps it was because someone called him Haneda-san instead of Taiko Celebrity, which made him feel a little more relaxed.
He registered on the registration form and nodded at Jin Cheng before entering.
"And this is?" Jin Sheng asked the administrator.
The administrator looked at Jin Cheng as if he had seen an alien."You actually don't know a famous person from Taige?”
"Is he…very famous?" Jin Cheng was a little embarrassed. Could the person who just passed by be a very famous guy?
"This is the youngest Shogi Triple Champion in Japan, Hideyoshi Haneda. He was already trying to get his fourth title.”The administrator looked at him like he was a country bumpkin and then told Jin Cheng about Hideyoshi.
"…Because he is an outstanding shogi player, everyone calls him a celebrity out of recognition of his strength. Then, because his name was similar to Taige Hashiba Hideyoshi, he ended up being Taige Mingren.”
"So this gentleman is so powerful!”Jin Sheng didn't know much about shogi, nor did he know how good shogi was in Japan. He didn't even know what the Triple Crown or the fourth title meant.
However, in the current situation, as long as he agreed with the administrator and said that Hideyoshi Hanada was awesome, it would be fine.
"By the way, is Mr. Abe-san a close friend of Mr. Negishi? From his tone, it sounded like they were brothers.”Jin Cheng took advantage of the administrator's pause to forcefully change the topic.
" Mr. abe and Mr. Negishi..." The administrator thought for a moment." Actually, they don't have a good relationship."”
"Eh? Then why would Kishi-san tell him about his travel plans?”Jin Cheng was shocked, but he thought to himself, The key thing is coming!”
"The two of them seem to have been close friends for a long time. I remember them saying that the two of them came out of the mountain village in Gunma County to work together.”The administrator recalled.
"About one or two years ago, the relationship between the two of them became a little delicate. They would occasionally quarrel.”
"How did this happen?" Jin Cheng continued to ask.
" Well, I'll just..." The administrator looked troubled and stopped talking all of a sudden. It was obvious that he did not know the specific reason.
"Because Mr. Abe-san's publishing firm was running out of cash, they wanted to borrow money from Mr. Negishi but were rejected.”Suddenly, Hideyoshi's voice rang out.
Jin Sheng turned around and saw Hideyoshi standing behind him with a bag of trash.
"Too…Ah, no, Mr. Haneda.”Jin Cheng and the administrator almost called him Taige Mingren, but fortunately, they managed to change the situation in time.
"Yes." Hideyoshi nodded.
"I live near them. I heard some things when they were quarreling.”Hideyoshi adjusted his glasses and lowered his eyes slightly.
"Mr. abe's publishing firm has been running out of cash for the past few years, so they asked Mr. Negishi for help. However, Mr. Negishi rejected them and even scolded them.”Hideyoshi said. Then, he raised his head and pressed his fingers to the side of his chin.
"If I remember correctly, he should be saying,'You don't even know how to do such a small business, go back to Gunma County and plant cucumbers!'”
"Ah, yes, yes. I heard from Mr. Abby that he used to grow cucumbers in his hometown.”The administrator suddenly thought of something.
"This isn't considered an insult. The cucumbers in Gunma Prefecture are the best cucumbers in Japan, both in quality and production.”the administrator said.
Jin Sheng could only laugh awkwardly at the administrator. The meaning of planting cucumbers was obviously to say that Abetoya had no ability and could not survive in Tokyo.
"In these few days, Mr. abe's publishing firm should be going bankrupt. This is probably all I know.”After Hideyoshi finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Jin Cheng and left with the trash bag.
"If he's a Taige celebrity, he should be going to the Mi Hua Library again.”The administrator sighed." What a hardworking and talented shogi player.”
After Jin Cheng received some information, he did not have the mood to talk nonsense with the administrator, so he chose to leave.
"Then, Mr. Administrator, I'll take my leave first.”
"Hello, I'm from the Mi Hua Mall." Jin Cheng hailed a taxi. When he arrived at the rice market, he saw Maori Kogoro following the fake Negishi Masaki out of the rice market.
Jin Cheng took a few steps through the crowd at the entrance of the mall and arrived beside Maori Kogoro.
"Mao Li, I…"
"Wow!" Maori Kogoro suddenly shouted and looked at Jin Cheng in horror. Everyone around him was shocked and looked at Maori Kogoro in shock. The person who was being followed in front also looked over.
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He's a coward and was scared by me. Hahaha…" Jin Cheng smiled apologetically at the people around him and then pulled Maori Kogoro to a corner.
"Why did you come back so quickly? You gave me a fright just now.”Maori Kogoro patted his chest and said," And you suddenly said something to me without anyone noticing. Seriously."”
"Alright, alright, I apologize. Let's get down to business first.”Jin Cheng apologized without any sincerity and then began to talk about serious matters.
"I heard that Negishi Masaki went out this morning. It looks like he's going on a trip.”
"And then, there was a conflict between him and that Abbe Feng.”
"What do you mean?" Maori Kogoro became spirited.
" The capital flow of Abel's publishing firm is not enough. Recently, it has even reached the point of bankruptcy. He has borrowed money from Negishi Masaki several times and was even humiliated by him.”
Maori Kogoro pinched his chin." There's already a motive here, but it's not to the extent of killing someone, right?" Moreover, killing Negishi Masaki did not seem to be beneficial.”
"Then, the two of them came out from Gunma County to work together.”Jin Cheng said.
" Yes, yes..." Maori Kogoro did not care much about this and was prepared to continue listening, but he did not hear Jin Cheng's voice for a long time.
"What's wrong? Continue?" Maori Kogoro looked at Jin Cheng with a strange expression.
Jin Cheng tilted his head and said,"I'm done."
