As early as 20 years ago, Ryunosuke Sakaki had investigated Gunma Prefecture and probably went to the library. The missing page in the album that Miss Miyano found was the one he tore off!
After obtaining the key information, many things that were previously incomprehensible suddenly became clear, giving people a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Sakaki Makoto has been investigating Karasuma Renya for a long time, but the clues he knows are obviously not as good as those of Sakaki Ryunosuke.
The deeper he went, the more traces of Sakaki Ryunosuke he found. It seemed as if it was destined.
"I will go and confess my crime. Please let Cheng Zhi go."
Seeing that Sakaki Makoto's face was uncertain and he didn't say anything, the old woman spoke first:
"He will definitely reform himself in the future. Please give him a chance. I will tell you everything you want to know."
Sakaki Makoto and Miss Miyano both understood the old woman's desire to protect her grandson, but that was not a reason for him to escape responsibility.
"Grandma, I won't let you take the blame for me."
Ogawa Chengzhi suddenly said:
"Before I took action, I had already prepared myself mentally. No matter what happens, I will bear the consequences alone."
“Shut up!”
The old woman scolded:
"You have no right to speak here!"
Ogawa Chengzhi obeyed his grandmother's order and immediately shut his mouth, but his eyes remained stubborn and he did not compromise.
"Don't push him anymore."
Sakaki Makoto sighed:
"Ogawa Chengzhi's original intention was to protect you, so he committed the crime. If you come forward to take the blame for him, how will he deal with himself in the future?"
"Will he feel that it was his fault that his grandmother went to jail, and will he live with the guilt for the rest of his life?"
Hearing this, the old woman was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at her grandson, and saw him nod with a firm look, and immediately fell into deep thought.
Throughout her life, she always felt that she owed her husband because of Karasuma Renya, and that was indeed the case. So she had been trying to make up for her husband for many years, but even at her old age, she still could not get out of the shadow in her heart.
Because she couldn't hear her husband's forgiveness.
Now, she is faced with the same choice again. If she takes the blame for her grandson, it will certainly allow Ogawa Chengzhi to escape from prison, but what next?
Although Ogawa Seiji was physically free, he was mentally imprisoned and might not be able to free himself for the rest of his life.
This is more unbearable than physical pain.
The old woman knew this best.
But she didn't want to let her grandson go to jail. She was torn between the two and felt tormented, as if she was thrown into boiling oil and fried.
“Have you ever thought about…?”
Sakaki Makoto quickly struck while the iron was hot and said in a warning tone:
"Who put you and your grandson into an irretrievable situation?"
The old woman raised her head slowly, a tremor flashed across her aged face. She did not answer, but the answer was already lingering in her heart.
"The choice you made was certainly wrong, but fundamentally, you were oppressed by the wicked. Where there is oppression, there should be resistance!"
In an impassioned tone, Sakaki Makoto said loudly:
"If it weren't for Karasuma Renya, would you be so conflicted today?"
"Not only has he ruined your life, he will also ruin your grandson and the Ogawa family!"
"Right now, Domon Yasuki outside the gate has also experienced unnecessary suffering because of Karasuma Renya, including me, Ai, Kudo, Mari, Hiroki..."
Names were uttered one after another, all of them were people who had been hurt by Karasuma Renya. It was precisely because of this that they gathered together to fight against the Black Organization.
"We put everything on the line. Everyone put their lives at risk and was ready to sacrifice themselves, just to kill the heinous Karasuma Renya!"
Sakaki became more and more excited as he spoke, looking at the old woman, as if his emotions were ignited:
"What about you? You are 80 years old this year. Are you still afraid of Karasuma Renya?"
"I...."
The old woman's heart trembled, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know how to answer.
However, Ogawa Seiji, who was standing next to him, seemed to be moved by Sakaki Makoto's words.
"Grandma, I don't think Karasuma Renya will let us go."
Ogawa Chengzhi gently placed his hand on the old woman's shoulder:
"Grandpa is not dead, so Karasuma Renya will definitely clean up the mess next. We... have no way out."
This was probably the so-called last straw that broke the camel's back. The last bit of hope in the old woman's heart collapsed in an instant. She knew Karasuma Renya too well. If she didn't know his character clearly, she would never have obeyed his orders.
All of a sudden, years of pent-up guilt and bitterness came flooding back. She had already done something wrong, so was she going to make the same mistake again?
"Karasuma Ren'ya's reign of terror did provide him with many favorable conditions, but when people are afraid to a certain extent, they are like animals that are cornered. Even if they have to tuck their tails between their legs, they will still rush over and bite you."
Holding his girlfriend's hand, Sakaki Makoto said with a deep gaze:
"Throughout history, there have been many cases of people being forced to rise up and fight against tyranny. But strangely, people often fail to realize that they are stepping into the abyss. Even the extremely cautious Karasuma Renya is the same. He will definitely pay for the mistakes he made."
“But I see her...”
Miss Miyano glanced at the old woman with flickering eyes, and was a little worried:
"She doesn't seem to have made up her mind yet."
"Determination is actually a seed, a seed that can grow wildly in a short period of time."
Sakaki Makoto smiled:
"It's like the desire hidden deep in people's hearts. Once the thought arises, it's too late to stop it. It's like the devil's whisper, bewitching you all the time."
As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman made a decision. She sat down at the table with the help of her grandson. Sakaki Makoto saw something like flame in her eyes, burning fiercely.
The emotions that had accumulated over the years turned into anger at this moment, anger towards Karasuma Renya.
"What do you want to ask?"
"Where is Karasuma Renya hiding?"
"You want to go straight to Huanglong?"
Frowning, the old woman shook her head:
“It’s impossible to do.”
"Why?"
"Because he is hiding in a completely safe place, no one can invade."
"There is no such thing as absolute security in the world. Everything has loopholes. I just need you to provide an address, a detailed address."
“.......”
The old woman thought for a moment and said:
"I haven't been in contact with Karasuma Renya in the past 40 years, but my father was his trusted subordinate when he was alive, and he would often go to a place after receiving a call."
Sakaki Makoto's eyes lit up and he quickly asked:
"Where?"
"Yokosuka."
