Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 674 It’s the maple leaf viewing season again

In the afternoon, Fujiwara had a simple meal with tears in his eyes. The two chatted for a while about their current thoughts. It was also the first time that Fujiwara learned about Michael Hinds from her.

Eighteen years ago, their father left the family for the reason of holding an art exhibition, and there has been no news since then. At that time, their mother had just become pregnant with the next child, so this meant that Xiao Ai had never seen her father's face, and then she never passed away. Their mother also passed away a few years ago, and they moved from their previous home to their current villa.
"Didn't you even keep the photos? Or is it that Mr. Michael doesn't like taking photos..." Fujiwara Hoshikai asked softly, tapping his fingers on the table inadvertently, as if trying to ease the tension caused by this topic.

Laisheng Lei shook her head gently, folded her hands together and put them on the table. She lowered her eyes and said in a weak but clear voice: "My dad really doesn't like taking pictures, but there are still some photos..." Her voice sounded in the cafe. It stood out in the silence, with a hint of regret and helplessness.

After hearing this, Fujiwara Xinghai immediately thought of Kaito.

"Is it possible that your father left because of some special reasons and could not show up?"

Lai Sheng raised her head, her eyes flashing with complex emotions, as if this idea had touched some deep memory. "I have also had such a guess, but there is no way to confirm it. After my mother passed away, clues about my father became even rarer, but there was news before that my father was in Paris." At this point, her eyes became distant, as if Recalling those gradually blurred memories.

Fujiwara Xinghai nodded slightly, expressing understanding and sympathy.

In fact, when it comes to this, he has already had a premonition that Michael Hinds may have passed away. A large number of his paintings are unclaimed. The mastermind behind the scenes needs to release news from time to time to attract painting dealers to buy paintings and make secondary sales.

But seeing Lai Sheng in tears was very sad, and Fujiwara couldn't express his guess.

Things in the company are proceeding in an orderly manner, and Fujiwara is not very skilled in management, so it is not easy for him to make blind decisions.

No wonder I never heard from him again after taking a leave of absence.

"So you are here"

"Okay." Laisheng Lei smiled slightly and responded. Her voice was low and gentle, and her eyes flashed with complicated emotions. She knew that no matter what stories they had in the past, Fujiwara was now someone else's husband, and she could only bury that feeling deep in her heart.

Fujiwara Hoshikai returned to his company by the way. The company was still busy. He walked into the office, made a brief inspection, and communicated with several employees about work matters.

"Let's take a walk together later. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Fujiwara tried to break the heavy atmosphere with this suggestion, keeping his voice as relaxed as possible, even though he had an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

"Are you out?"

Fujiwara didn't really want to stay in a hotel, but he didn't know who would take it tonight, so he couldn't stay at someone else's house.
Thinking about this, Fujiwara drove to the Mori Detective Agency, only to find that the doors and windows of the agency were closed, and it didn't look like there was anyone there.

They walked together on the path in the park, their pace was leisurely, and occasionally the wind would blow by, bringing a bit of coolness. The two tried to talk about light topics and avoid touching each other's scars.
. However, the silence between topics is particularly prominent. It is the echo of past emotional entanglements, heavy and difficult to ignore.

At the end of the walk, the two reluctantly said goodbye. Fujiwara Xinghai smiled slightly at Laishengtei, a smile full of gratitude and apology. "Take care, and if you need help, please contact me at any time." He said softly, then turned and left, leaving him standing alone with tears in his eyes, watching his back gradually disappear into the crowd.

"Let's take a walk together later. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

He gave the villa on the 2-chome side to Mary and the others. It turned out that the house opposite the Mori Office had been vacated long ago and could no longer be occupied.

So after a brief tour, I thought about going back, but after getting in the car, I didn't know where to go.

"Okay." Afterlife responded with tears.

Suddenly she realized that someone was staring at her. Azusa Enomoto glanced back subconsciously, but when she saw that the person outside the window was Fujiwara, she was so frightened that she immediately turned her head to cover her face and hid behind the bar, not daring to show her face.

Fujiwara, who was a little unsure, was about to go into Polo Cafe to ask, when he suddenly saw Azusa Enomoto here.

This made Toru Amuro, who was concentrating on making sandwiches, very confused. He glanced at Azusa, who was hiding his face in an apron, and looked up at the door. He was a little surprised when he saw Fujiwara Hoshikai, but he was still very polite. He nodded and smiled:
"welcome."

Fujiwara was a little surprised to see Bourbon working part-time at Polo Cafe, but looking back, he seemed to have such a plot, as if he was here to get information.

So I didn't think there was anything wrong, so I nodded and ordered a matcha latte. "Okay, please wait a moment." After saying that, Toru Amuro looked back at Azusa Enomoto, sighed, and started working alone.

After a while, Xiaozi looked up at Fujiwara again, but Nouchi breathed a sigh of relief after looking at her. Just as she was about to slip away, Fujiwara stopped her.

"That little Zi, why are you here?"

What has to come will come back.

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Xiaozi told him why she didn't go to his house during this period. It turned out that when she went back after the vacation, she found that there was an extra maid at home. She thought she was fired, so she ran back to Bo Working part-time at Luo Cafe.

"Ah, I didn't fire you, that girl was..."

"Big brother, your matcha latte."

At some point, Toru Amuro brought the matcha latte to Fujiwara's table.

"Senior brother?"

"Yes, I also became the teacher of Detective Mori last week and became the teacher's third student." Toru Amuro said with a smile.

"Third place? Who else is there before you?" Fujiwara asked doubtfully. He didn't remember the plot.

"Master Wakida from the sushi restaurant next door is also a very interesting person." Azusa Enomoto added on behalf of Toru Amuro.

What is this and what? Fujiwara complained in his mind.

I have been away for a while, why are there suddenly so many unseen plots?
At this moment, Fujiwara suddenly saw a courier truck parked in front of his house, and right after this, Fujiwara's cell phone rang.

"Hello" Fujiwara answered the phone, stood up and walked to the door.

"Hello, is this Mr. Fujiwara?"

"it's me."

After Fujiwara walked out of the door, he went directly to the courier. After informing him of his identity, he got his express delivery.

After returning to the restaurant, Fujiwara opened the express box and found that there was only a maple leaf in it.

"Is this a prank?" Xiao Zi, who was watching from the sidelines, whispered.

"I don't know, maybe only the senior brother himself knows."

Fujiwara felt a little surprised at first, but when he saw Kyoto, the place of shipment, he understood what was going on.

The water in the leaves has not dried, indicating that the leaves are freshly picked.
Fujiwara subconsciously glanced at the calendar and found that it was already the end of October, which was the season for viewing maple leaves.

"It seems it's the season to see maple leaves again."
