The tall, thin man was called Minami Tomofumi. He hadn't expected to run into the Metropolitan Police Department's most famous figure, Takashi Sosuke, here. Thinking of the murder he was about to carry out, his heartbeat quickened as he met his gaze.
He couldn't help but ask himself, could he really commit a crime under the police's nose? Or, could he really get away with it after committing a crime successfully?
Minami Tomofumi glanced obliquely at Sosuke Takashi who was sipping iced lemon tea, and recalled his perfect plan. As long as Section Chief Minoru Yasui continued to flatter the president as usual, he would definitely not be discovered.
After taking out a hundred golf balls from the ball dispenser, Yasui Minoru didn't pour all of them into his own hitting area. Instead, he deliberately separated a dozen balls and walked over to Tachibana Eisuke to pour the balls in himself.
"President, these balls are for you."
Tachibana Eisuke was very satisfied to see this scene. He enjoyed the flattery of his employees very much. It made him feel that the company was a castle and he was the absolute controller wearing a crown.
So he was very satisfied with Yasui Minoru's performance, especially when he thought about the guy's ex-girlfriend being his current wife, he felt even more relaxed and even oiled the club much faster:
"Well, thanks, Yasui."
"President, please don't be polite to me. This is what I should do."
Minami Tomofumi noticed Yasui Minoru's flattery of the president, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. As expected, when the section chief accompanied him to play golf, he would give a portion of the ball to the president.
He suppressed the smile on his face, stood at the back and glanced in the direction of Toji Sosuke from time to time. It was not because he was worried that the police would find any flaws, but he was a little worried that the freckled little boy who was very close to the president would be involved in his plan.
After a moment of hesitation, Nan Zhishi obeyed his inner thoughts, walked to the side of the freckled boy, leaned over and reminded him in a friendly manner:
"Little brother, don't sit here later. It's dangerous."
"Hmm? Okay, thanks for the reminder, brother."
After giving the reminder, Minami Tomofumi smiled and nodded at Sosuke Takagi who was looking at him, and left with a natural expression, not realizing that his words had revealed something suspicious.
Fujiwara Yu calmly finished his iced lemon tea and was about to stand up to approach the thin man, but someone patted his shoulder from behind. He looked back in surprise and found it was Watanabe Yukima.
"Officer, I... I found something here. Could you please come over here?" Watanabe Yukima's voice was still trembling, as if he was afraid of something, and even his voice was very low.
Fujiwara Yuu felt something strange in his heart. He nodded and didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he told Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko to stay in his seat and not run around. He stood up and followed Watanabe Yukima to the lounge, where he saw Watanabe Yukima saying with a worried look on his face:
"Officer, I just happened to see a golf ball stuck inside a customer's golf club. After thinking it over, I feel like something's not right, so I'd like you to investigate."
"There's a golf ball in the club? You mean in the golf club head?"
Fujiwara Yu was stunned when he heard this. He held his chin and thought about the size of the club head. If it was opened, it could indeed fit a golf ball, but most people would never put the ball into the club head. Is this some kind of mysterious batting ritual?
No, a normal person would never do such a thing. We really need to be vigilant.
Thinking of this, a man appeared in Fujiwara Yu's mind and asked bluntly:
"Who did you see do that? Was it one of the staff members?"
"Yes, it was the tallest, thinner one. He had been running to the bathroom clutching his stomach. I realized I hadn't put in a new toilet paper roll when I cleaned it, so I went to put one in. But before I even got in, I saw him cautiously opening the golf club head, then closing it again."
Fujiwara Yuu had a vague idea of what was going on. Without hesitation, he pulled out his police ID and ran to the training ground. Seeing that President Tachibana Eisuke was about to change his clubs, he immediately stopped him and said,
"I'm Sosuke Takashi from the Metropolitan Police Department. I order everyone present to stand still and not move! Mr. President, please gently lower your golf club. Remember, you must do it slowly."
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what was going on. When Tachibana Eisuke heard that Sosuke Takashi actually called his name, he was confused but still followed the other party's instructions, slowly squatted down and placed the golf club in his hand flat on the ground.
Yasui Minoru didn't understand why Takagi Sosuke suddenly issued an order, so he asked the doubts of the people present:
"Officer Takashi, what happened? Is there something wrong with the president's club?"
"Someone reported that there were golf balls inside the club heads. As to why this was done, we have to conduct an inspection to find out."
Tachibana Eisuke's face darkened at these words. As a golf enthusiast, he had never heard of putting a ball inside a club head. Furthermore, this club was his favorite, having been used by the previous president, and thus a trophy. How could he possibly disassemble the club head and stuff something inside?
He thought of this and looked coldly at the stadium staff standing at the door. Could it be that these guys wanted to persecute him? But why were they dissatisfied with him?
Yasui Minoru turned his head to look at Okubo Tatsuya beside him and asked in a low voice:
"Okubo, you didn't do that, did you? You were the one handing the club to the president just now."
"Are you kidding? Would I do such a stupid thing? It was probably done by someone in the store. Humph, this guy has been offending people for a long time. Maybe someone in the store just doesn't like him." Tatsuya Okubo sneered. Although he had the idea of revenge, there was no better company for him to switch jobs to, and he would not be stupid enough to go against his job.
Yasui Minoru's expression changed slightly. He gently pulled Okubo Tatsuya's arm and said softly:
"Okubo, what are you talking about? If the president hears this, you'll be fired, you know?"
"Yasui, have you ever had a peaceful life in the past few years? Everyone in the company knows that he stole your fiancée... And how could the former president, who was in such good health, suddenly die? I remember that the former president loved promoting you the most. Don't you hate Tachibana Eisuke?"
Yasui Minoru lowered his head in silence. It was precisely because he had lost his biggest supporter that he had no choice but to swallow his anger and follow Tachibana Eisuke. He needed money for his mother's medical treatment, and if he wanted to continue working here, he had no choice but to flatter Tachibana Eisuke.
In order to survive, he had to bow to the people he hated. There was nothing he could do about it.
