Women only affect the speed of my reasoning!

After all, they are both cities within the Tokyo metropolitan area, so Chiba is not far from Gunma, only 150 kilometers, and it only takes about two hours by car.

However, since they are still minors and are not yet qualified to take the driver's license test, they naturally cannot drive and can only choose to take the high-speed rail.

I have to say that riding the high-speed rail on a sunny day is really an enjoyable thing.

The perspective changed. In the high-speed car, the warm sunshine of winter afternoon shone through the soundproof square window. The countryside scenery outside the window quickly passed away. Qin Mianshu was half-lying on the couch, lazily. Here, he rested one elbow on the armrest of the sofa and held his chin with one hand, looking intently in concentration.

Someone suddenly kicked him lightly from under the table.

Qin Xianshu blinked and came back to his senses, then turned to look across.

Sitting on the sofa on the other side were Yukiko and Mashiro, and judging from their usual behavior, Yukiko was obviously the only one who would do such a thing.

"What's wrong?" Qin Uanshu asked puzzledly.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask if you are nervous." Yukiko smiled with a harmless smile.

"Nervous? Are you okay..."

"Really?" Yukiko looked suspicious.

"Really."

"Aren't you nervous at all?"

"Don't be nervous."

Qin Xianshu was even more confused.

"And why should I be nervous?"

"Well……"

Seeing his appearance, Yukiko pouted a little dissatisfied.

"Please, this is the legendary meeting with the parents. In the plot of the film and television works, it can make a delinquent boy who is originally fearless put on mousse, comb his hair like an adult, and then put on a handsome suit, for fear that someone will Any flaws in your image will make my father-in-law feel dissatisfied! Are you not nervous at all, Xian Shu?"

"well enough……"

Qin Xianshu experienced this feeling carefully and said.

"To be precise, this pressure comes from two aspects. On the one hand, Yukiko, you just said that you are afraid of dissatisfying the girl's parents, and on the other hand, it comes from the suppression of social status, let alone the father-in-law and mother-in-law. "Existence, even when facing people who have nothing to do with each other, such as an ordinary person meeting Buffett, he will always feel extremely restrained."

Speaking of this, the image of Snow Mother suddenly appeared in his mind for some reason.

Shaking his head slightly to get rid of the inexplicable thoughts, he continued.

"As for the latter point I mentioned, there is basically no such problem here. As for the former... I believe Yukiko's parents are not people who like to find fault with eggs."

"Huhuhu..."

The girl who failed in the trick rolled her eyes coquettishly and kept humming.

After a while, she reluctantly uttered a sentence.

"You can speak."

"That is."

Qin Xianshu shrugged and said.

After a total of half an hour and seven minutes, the high-speed train from Chiba entered Gunma Station.

"Hmm~ I'm finally back, the familiar air of Gunma."

Dragging her suitcase from the train to the platform, Yukiko took a long stretch, stretching her body that was a little sore from sitting for so long.

She turned around deftly and gracefully and looked at Qin Ushu and Shiina Mashiro, who were also dragging suitcases from the train.

"Hurry up, let's go..."

Before the girl could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sudden ringtone.

Yukiko followed the sound and glanced at the bag on her waist.

"Uh, bridge bean sack."

She took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID, and she suddenly looked slightly surprised and surprised.

"Hello? Is this Guangmei? Why did you suddenly think of calling me... Yes, you're back. I'm at the high-speed rail station now... Eh? Oh, okay, I understand..."

After a somewhat hasty conversation, Yukiko hung up the phone and put down the phone, but stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xianshu asked.

Next to him, Mashiro Shiina also tilted her head.

"Hmm~ It's not a big deal." Yukiko scratched her face.

"She's a friend of mine. I used to play at her house a lot when I was little. She just called me and asked me if I was back from winter vacation. She said she wanted me to come over because she had something to do. It seemed a little urgent. It seems, so our plans have changed..."

"I need to go to your friend's house first." Qin Sanshu finished for her.

"Yes, that's probably what it means..."

Although Gunma is not even as prosperous as Chiba, fortunately, the taxi driver industry has long been spread all over Japan.

The biggest advantage of not being so in-depth urbanization is that you can still see old-fashioned buildings with strong traditional cultural elements, not all the same pigeon cages in big cities.

Ten minutes later, the taxi slowly stopped in front of a traditional Japanese-style old house with a single courtyard.

This place is not remote, it is also far away from the city, but it is different from Dusk Don't Care, which is built in the high mountains and surrounded by forests like a vampire castle. This old house is surrounded by large wheat fields. It is remote but not deserted. On the contrary, it is very interesting. The atmosphere of rural life, the word "Saunai" is written on the door plaque with iron paintings and silver hooks.

"The landlord's house." Qin Sanshu's first words came out of the car.

"Yes, that's right~" Yukiko explained with a smile, "Hiro Mei's family was indeed a landlord in the past, and it was a well-known wealthy family in our area."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker gently.

After a while, I heard footsteps coming from far away inside the door.

Immediately with a dull sound of "squeak--", the heavy door of the house was opened from the inside, and a female high school student who looked about the same age as Yukiko and had short dark brown curly hair poked her head out from inside.

"Ah ho~ Hiromi." Yukiko smiled and waved.

"You Xizi!"

The girl called "Guangmei" seemed very happy to see her friend arriving. She opened the door and walked out, but was stunned when she saw the other two.

"By the way Hiromi, let me introduce you."

Yukiko waved and introduced them one by one.

"This is Mashiro Shiina. She is a classmate of the same high school as me. Because her family lives in England and it is not convenient to go back during the winter vacation, she came back with me."

"And this is Qin Sanshu, who is also a classmate of the school, and also..."

"I, I, I, I know! It's that famous high school detective!" Hiromi became inexplicably excited for some reason, and her words became incoherent.

"It's my boyfriend~"

Yukiko smiled and completed the last half of the sentence gently but firmly.

Chapter 288 She Gives Too Much

"Hey Yukiko, where did you think you were? That's not what I meant!"

After all, the setting was based on what he had been playing since childhood. Seeing his friend's expression and tone, Yabuuchi Hiromi couldn't understand what the other person was thinking.

She hurriedly wanted to explain, but soon realized that the gate was not a good place to talk, so she had to touch her face in embarrassment.

"Well... come in first anyway."

So the four of them entered the mansion.

The mansion occupies a large area, and just like what it looks like from the outside, the interior of Yabuuchi House also follows the traditional Japanese style. There is a rockery, a pond, and an earth floor in the courtyard. A stone path slightly higher than the earth connects the gate and the elevated building. style house, the roof is entirely covered with blue tiles.

It can be seen that this house is quite old, probably passed down from ancestors. There are signs of renovation and repair in many places, but it still looks very solid and stable, and it is obviously well maintained.

"It's really good." Qin Xianshu looked around and praised.

At this moment, an old man who looked about 70 years old came out of the house, followed by a young Brazilian man who was at least 1.9 meters tall and looked like a bodyguard.

He is very old, his face is covered with age spots, and the hair on the top of his head has completely fallen out, but his figure is still stocky, and his bright and wide eyes flash from time to time.

Seeing the four people coming in from the door, the old man walked up steadily and spoke.

"Oh, we actually have guests."

"Uncle foster brother!?"

Hearing the voice coming from behind, Hiromi looked back and smiled awkwardly when she saw the person coming.

"Uncle foster brother, come and take a look. Do you still recognize her? This is Yukiko who often came to our house to play when she was a child."

"Long time no see, foster uncle!" Yukiko also greeted with a smile, "I haven't seen you for almost 13 years."

"Um……"

Hearing the words, the old man came up and held his chin, squinting his eyes and looking at it again and again, as if he was comparing it repeatedly with the impression in his memory. He struggled for a long time before shaking his head.

"I'm sorry. Maybe I've been in Brazil for too long and I don't remember much anymore. Are you coming back from winter vacation this time?"

"Yes, the school is on winter vacation, and I came back with two of my classmates." Yukiko gestured sideways to Qin Ushu and Shiina Mashiro behind her.

"Oh……"

Yabuuchi Yoshifusa glanced at him and seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated and changed his words.

"It's rare to come back. Anyway, I have nothing to do during the winter vacation. Now you don't have much time to meet each other, so why not stay for a while before leaving, hahaha..."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Yukiko to answer, and left with a smile to himself.

It wasn't until the old man walked away that Yabuuchi Hiromi came up and quietly touched his friend's waist with his elbow.

"How do you feel about your foster uncle?"

"What's going on?" The girl came back to her senses, looking confused.

"Just... the voice, tone, appearance, etc., are they the same as before?" Yabuuchi Hiromi looked a little anxious.

"After all, we were only four years old when my adopted uncle left Japan for Brazil. Now 13 years have passed. To be honest, I don't remember what my adopted uncle looked like. This time, my adopted uncle was born three days ago. He's back, but I always feel that he is a little different from before, so I thought of asking Yukiko what you think."

"Hmm...actually I don't remember much, but it should be about the same. In my impression, my foster uncle was really fat, and he was also very easy-going. He often played with us when we were young..."

Yukiko nodded her lips and tried to remember.

Then she made a sound and snapped her fingers.

"Why don't you just ask Guangmei your father about this kind of thing? After living together for so many years, brothers can definitely tell whether they are the same person!"

"There is nothing we can do about this matter." Guangmei sighed, looking a little sad, "In fact, my father passed away last month due to inflammation. This time, my foster uncle suddenly came back because he wanted to divide the inheritance. matter."

"How could this happen..." Yukiko was stunned, "What about those old friends from the foster uncle's past?"

"I have been unable to contact you for a long time." Yabuuchi Hiromi shook his head, "The only person I can contact now, and the one who was familiar with my adopted uncle in the past, is you, Kiko."

Hearing this, Qin Ushu, who had been silent until now, calmly spoke.

"In other words, you now suspect that this 'adopted uncle' may be a fake, perhaps someone else pretending to be someone with the intention of embezzling your family's property, right?"

"Yes, that's it."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone said from the side.

Looking through the voice, the person speaking was an older middle-aged man, somewhat similar in appearance to Yabuuchi Hiromi.

"Brother Xiuhe..."

"In fact, we all doubt his true identity." Yabuchi Hidekazu said.

"Are you... Miss Yaunai's biological brother?" Qin Ushu concluded with certainty.

"Yes."

Hidekazu Yabuchi admitted his identity.

"But unfortunately, in fact, the only person in our family who was close to my adopted uncle was Guangmei, so I don't have much impression of my adopted uncle after not seeing him for so many years."

"And after all, my father is one of the largest landowners around here, with a good reputation and a rich inheritance. Needless to say, my father entrusted a suicide note to his lawyer before he passed away, and said that he would publish this will in the future. Anyone who is not present will not be able to inherit a penny."

"Hooho-"

Qin Xianshu made two nonchalant laughs perfunctorily.

The other party's words came to this point, and he almost understood why Yabuuchi Hiromi reacted that way when he saw him just now.
