"He's on TV..."
Shifting his gaze, Makoto Sakaki looked at the public TV hanging on the wall of the hotel lobby, which was broadcasting a shogi tournament.
"The favorite to win this shogi tournament is none other than the shogi player known as the Taiko Master, Haneda Hideyoshi. Now let's invite him to come on stage and explain the rules of this tournament..."
The scene changed, and a tall and thin young man wearing round-framed glasses walked onto the stage, took the microphone handed over by the host, and said with a bright smile:
"Hello everyone, I am Haneda Hideyoshi..."
"He is quite famous, a genius in the shogi world, and like Haneda Hiroshi, he comes from the Haneda family..."
Miss Miyano said.
It is not difficult to collect information about the Haneda family. At that time, Hiroji Haneda was known as the talented chess player who was closest to the seven-time champion. The media rushed to report on it. Even now, many TV stations are planning to dig deep into the bizarre case that happened in the United States 17 years ago in order to get breaking news.
A few years later, Haneda Hideyoshi emerged out of nowhere and won consecutive championships in just a few years with his superb chess skills. He was as famous as his sworn brother and became the focus of public attention again.
Makoto Sakaki didn't pay much attention to the news in the shogi world, so he didn't know much about the relationship until he learned about the Haneda Hiroshi case. Now Haneda Hideyoshi's name suddenly appeared on the hotel list, and 19 years ago, Akai Mary knew Haneda Hiroshi...
It is not difficult to guess that there must be some special relationship between Hideyoshi Haneda who suddenly appeared and Mary Akai.
After learning this, Makoto Sakaki finally understood who Akai Mary wanted to protect.
It has to be said that Akai Mary is too cunning. She opened a room in a Tokyo hotel under her own name, luring the investigators into a trap, and hid in another hotel opened under someone else's name. In this way...
She was already invincible.
pity...
Makoto Sakaki came prepared this time. He had a lot of key information in his hands, so he was able to guess at the first moment that there was a connection between Akai Mary and Haneda Hideyoshi.
If it weren't for Hidekazu Ishikawa's indecent incident yesterday, he would probably be confused now and have no idea who the enemy hiding in the dark is.
However, even the wisest plan can make mistakes. Mary Akai overlooked Ishikawa Hide who was involved in the case 17 years ago, which exposed her relationship with Haneda Hiroji and planted the seeds of crime.
"You stay here and monitor the hall. I'll go up through the safe passage and see if I can stop them."
Makoto Sakaki returned the admission list to Miss Miyano and made a detailed plan.
The elevator only stopped at the 27th floor. Makoto Sakaki couldn't be sure that Akai Mary would definitely leave through the emergency passage. Maybe she was just faking it and then ran down a few floors before taking the elevator again?
The safest way is to leave one person in the hall. No matter how Akai Mary escapes, she must pass through the hall.
"Okay, if I find any trace of them, I will contact you."
Miss Miyano knew what her boyfriend was thinking. She found a suitable corner in the hall to sit down and asked the waiter for a cup of coffee.
Showing his police handbook and using the excuse of investigating a case, Sakaki Makoto successfully passed the security guard and entered the safe passage.
Ta... Ta...
Footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. The surroundings were so quiet that even the crackling sound of electricity under the green escape man sign could be heard clearly. The noisy voices in the hall gradually faded away. Sakaki Makoto climbed all the way to the 10th floor, leaned on the railing, and took out a cigarette box.
Snap!
The fire flashed, illuminating Sakaki Makoto's expressionless face.
He smoked a cigarette and closed his eyes. His favorite music seemed to ring in his ears. His fingers tapped rhythmically on his shoulders. His whole body seemed to merge with the railing and disappear into the shadows.

"Mom, where are we going next?"
At the 14# staircase, the girl picked up her bag, looked at the cautious figure in front of her and asked:
"If the hotel is no longer available, we may have to go find our second brother..."
"I can't go find Hideyoshi."
The petite figure turned around and said indifferently:
"I'm already very sorry for that child, I can't drag him down any further."
"But..."
The girl wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the petite figure:
"Hideyoshi is in the crucial period of the competition now, don't disturb him. I promised to raise you to adulthood. Now Hideyoshi can stand on his own, and you should be studying in school. If it weren't for... Vermouth, I wouldn't agree to let you come to Tokyo with me."
"Yeah, I know."
The girl nodded and grinned:
"Mom, you don't trust me enough. I'm your and dad's daughter! I must be capable!"
"Humph, don't think I don't know that your motives for returning to China are not pure."
“No way…”
"Shh!"
The petite figure suddenly stopped, raised her hand, and signaled the girl to be quiet.
She sniffed and smelled a faint scent of tobacco in the air. Her muscles suddenly tensed up as if she was facing a great enemy.
A man slowly walked out from the shadows below, with a cigarette about to burn out in his mouth, a silver pocket pistol in his hand, and a playful smile on his face:
"Hello again...Mary."
The petite figure's pupils suddenly shrank, and she took a half step back in fear, shouting:
“It’s you…it’s you!!!”
