Although it is a bit rude, criminal work requires thick skin.
So at this moment, Tang Ze and the other man followed Mrs. Matsushita to pick up their daughter.
As they walked down the street, in the awkward silence, Tang Ze spoke first, "Excuse me, is the fur on your coat made of chinchilla?"
"No, it's mink." Mrs. Matsushita asked back, "What's wrong with this coat?"
"I feel like I've seen it somewhere before." Tang Ze said, "Is it the one your mother left you? It really has been passed down from generation to generation."
"Well, it's quite old, though." Mrs. Matsushita smiled, touching her coat. "But I really like it, so I've taken good care of it."
"I wonder if Mrs. Matsushita has any other coats made of fur?" Takagi asked at the right time.
"I only have this one fur coat." Mrs. Matsushita replied with a smile.
"So, are there any other leather clothes besides coats?" Tang Ze asked.
"No, this is the only leather garment I own." The man denied, straightening his clothes. "So you see, this coat is so old, but I'm still wearing it."
"It suits you very well."
Tang Ze's praise was not a compliment, but the truth. Although the other person's coat was old, it was well preserved. Combined with the other person's temperament and appearance, it gave people a luxurious feeling.
But before Mrs. Matsushita could express her modesty and courtesy with a smile on her face, Tang Ze's words came again the next moment.
"I want it too."
The next moment, the smile on Mrs. Matsushita's face immediately disappeared. She looked a little grim and asked, "What did you say?"
"I guess if it were Mrs. Santori, she would most likely say the same thing." Tang Ze ignored her increasingly unpleasant expression and said calmly, "And yet you always respond to her requests."
"According to our investigation, Mrs. Mitori seems to be very greedy and has asked for many things from you." Takagi added, "May I ask why this is so? I think most people would not be able to tolerate such a thing."
Mrs. Matsushita was a little flustered by their words. She immediately said something that seemed "natural" but seemed absurd to Tang Ze and the others: "Why... because she said she wanted it."
"Is it that simple?" Tang Ze pressed on, "She said she liked him, and you didn't refuse at all?"
After a moment's silence, Mrs. Matsushita nodded and admitted, "Yes."
"Then may I ask if there's a reason?" Gao Mu gave an example. "Could it be that she has something to threaten you with?"
"There's no reason, and the threat is nothing."
"Then can I ask you for it too?" Facing Mrs. Matsushita's answer, Tang Ze stood in front of her and extended his right hand with a smile, "Please give me that coat. I really want it."
As Tang Ze spoke, the typical rejection reaction of "You must be joking, of course not" did not appear at all. Mrs. Matsushita just looked at Tang Ze with an ugly expression and remained silent.
You can see her inner hesitation and struggle, and that in itself speaks volumes.
"Sorry, I take back my previous request. I just wanted to test you."
Without waiting for the other party to make a decision, Tang Ze took the initiative to stop the other party from hesitating, but even so, the other party naturally did not give Tang Ze a good look and left with a grim look.
Tang Ze and Gao Mu looked at each other, and naturally expected to test each other's reaction, but they didn't care and followed with a thick face.
As for criminal cases, handling them is actually very similar to sticking with a dog-skin plaster. There are many cases where the other party is annoyed by the entanglement.
Although you have the right to refuse to answer and cooperate, it is normal for me to perform my official duties normally, and there is no conflict with your civil rights. You can't get rid of me even if you don't cooperate.
However, Tang Ze and the other man were not so shameless. In response to Mrs. Matsushita's cold face, they just stayed far behind her.
Only when Mrs. Matsushita entered the cram school floor did Karasawa and Takagi stop.
But it’s not that they lost each other, but that they had already seen each other’s daughter, but there were some "ripples".
"Kaori, stop crying!" A lady was comforting her daughter. "I'll buy you another one like this."
The girl named Kaori was crying loudly and didn't listen to her mother's comfort. She just cried loudly. And May, the daughter who was at Mrs. Matsushita's house yesterday, just stood silently by without saying a word.
"Ah, hello, what happened?"
When Mrs. Matsushita saw this, she thought there was a conflict between the children and hurried to her daughter's side.
"I want that!" the girl cried, pointing at the small bag in May's hand.
"Alright! Stop being so willful!" The lady comforted her daughter and said, "That's May's thing. Mommy will buy you a new one."
"But it's very beautiful, Kaori wants it too!" The girl shook her head and cried.
But before Kaori's mother could say anything, Mrs. Matsushita took the small bag directly from May's neck.
"May, can you give this bag to Kaori?"
Although Mrs. Matsushita spoke in a negotiating tone, her actions left no room for negotiation. After taking her daughter's bag, she opened it and prepared to take out the contents.
"Eh? That's really not necessary, Mrs. Matsushita." Kaori's mother waved her hand quickly after seeing this and said, "I don't like that."
"It's okay," Mrs. Matsushita said as she handed the contents of her bag to May and said, "Didn't I tell you not to be too attached to things?"
As she spoke, Mrs. Matsushita handed the small bag in her hand directly to Kaori who was standing beside her.
"I'm so sorry," Kaori's mother said, "How can I accept it?"
"It's okay, here you go." Mrs. Matsushita smiled and placed the small bag in front of Kaori.
The crying girl named Kaori stopped crying when she saw this and took the small bag with both hands.
"Let's go back." Matsushita hugged his daughter and said goodbye. "Then we'll go first."
"Mrs. Matsushita! Thank you so much!" Kaori's mother thanked her while helping her daughter bow and said, "Kaori-chan, you should thank me too..."
While Mrs. Matsushita was standing there talking to the other person, May ran out with her schoolbag.
"Hello~"
After arriving outside, May saw Tang Ze and the other man standing outside and greeting her with a smile.
"Hello!"
May said as she quickly pulled out a hat from her schoolbag, "Please hold this for me!"
