Chapter 967: It is better to have a son-in-law than a son-in-law
Just as Fujino was thinking, a woman came up from behind Kusaka Hironari: "This is Akiyoshi Miwako. She is the deputy chief engineer of the ship design team. She was the one who named the ship Aphrodite..."Akiyoshi Miwako is a capable woman who wears glasses and has short black hair that is slightly green and falls below her chin. She wears a green suit with an orange shirt underneath, giving people a formal yet somewhat strange feeling.
Maybe this is just personality...
After all, suits are not only black and blue, other colors can also have different effects.
Akiyoshi Miwako glanced around at the group, bowed slightly and said, "Hello, I'm Akiyoshi, please give me your guidance."
“This is it.”
Fujino replied politely: "My name is Fujino, this is my younger sister Huiyuan Ai, and the one next to me is my older sister Mingmei..."
Everyone greeted each other, and the middle-aged man from before came over at a very timely moment, indicating that he had prepared a seat.
And Kusaka Hironari seems to be very familiar.
Just ask for a seat at Fujino's table.
Fujino stared at him and felt that this guy was too awesome. Not only did he flirt with the Death God team, he even dared to sit at the same table with the Death God... What a tough guy.
I just don't know if he was the murderer or the victim.
After all, according to past rules, something will happen to those who are close to the Death Team.
…………
Hironari Kusaka is a screenwriter and he only met Akiyoshi Miwako recently. He came here mainly to write a copy about a luxury cruise ship, and then he was invited here to write promotional information about the Aphrodite.
His motive was very clear, and as for why Fujino came here, Kusaka Hironari pretended to be mysterious and said in a sneaky manner: "So, Detective Fujino, are you here on this yacht for a case?"
"Will we encounter pirates during the voyage, or are there terrorists on board this ship, or is there a criminal organization using this ship to transport drugs..."
Fujino: "..."
No, man, am I that outrageous?
How come they talk about pirates and terrorists the first thing they say is the big business of drug smuggling and transportation?
Fujino was somewhat helpless and explained, "I came here with someone else this time. Strictly speaking, I am here to attend the opening ceremony on behalf of someone else."
"That's right, I'm the one accompanying you!"
Yuanzi, who was sitting over there, responded cheerfully and waved his hand: "My father and mother don't have time, so I came here on their behalf and brought a friend with me..."
"That's it."
Kusaka Hironari narrowed his eyes and replied, "The second daughter of the Suzuki Group... I remember it should be like this."
"That's right!"
"But the people who came today are all dignitaries."
As Kusaka Hironari said this, he looked behind him and said, "However, among this group of dignitaries, I think the real protagonist should be that one."
Several people followed his line of sight and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and a steady-looking woman with light brown curly hair wearing a light green skirt.
"Former Prime Minister..."
Ooka Momiji didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, she said in a nonchalant tone, "He's just a prime minister who quit after one year. There's nothing to see."
Upon hearing this, Fujino looked at Ooka Momiji and thought that to her, the position of Prime Minister might really be very ordinary. As the saying goes, families are permanent, but dynasties are transient.
You can change prime ministers a lot, but that’s all there is to aristocratic families.
At this time, Xiaolan noticed three figures behind the two men: "Aren't those the Li sisters?" The three people were two women and one man. The men were wearing white crew uniforms, while the two women were dressed up.
The woman on the left looks more energetic, with her light blonde hair tied into a ponytail, a huge gem hanging around her neck, dark red sleeves on her hands, and a chest-length dress with a line clearly visible.
The one on the right is more quiet, with long brown hair. Her slightly loose clothes are lifted by suspenders, revealing her cleavage, and her arms are decorated with wide light pink ribbons.
Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly and was subconsciously attracted by the exposed thunder.
"Cough hum!"
Huibara Ai, who was sitting next to her, coughed.
Hongye looked over and said nothing. Yuanzi on the other side spoke up with a somewhat resentful tone: "I didn't expect that these two big stars would come here, and they are dressed up so gorgeously..."
"They were all invited by the eighth president."
Kusaka Hironari sneered, "Who knows what he wants to do? The old man actually invited two celebrities with great bodies. He is still strong and healthy. But think about it. After all, he is like this. His wife died, and he got the family property. Now he starts to spend it... But speaking of that old guy, he and his daughter are right behind those two women."
"The eighth-generation chairman, Yashiro Entarou, and his daughter, Takae, became the chairman of the Yashiro passenger ship after marrying into the family. To put it bluntly, they found a capable son-in-law to inherit the throne."
Fujino quipped, "Isn't this the norm in this part of Japan?"
"That's true."
Kusaka Hironari nodded: "Sons cannot be chosen, but sons-in-law can be chosen. Sometimes, for people like them, having a daughter can be a better way to inherit the family."
As he said this, he looked at Fujino and said, "For someone as capable as Detective Fujino, I guess those wealthy families would fight over him, right?"
"I don't want to be a son-in-law who marries into someone else's family. It's better to have something of my own than to have it myself..."
Fujino shook his head helplessly and said, "In the final analysis, this is nothing more than a choice. If you really like her, it doesn't matter even if she marries you. After all, sometimes ideals have to compromise with reality. Born in an imperial family, there is no freedom."
"That's all right with me."
Hongye beside him smiled and said, "My grandfather never made any mandatory requirements on me. He didn't care about my surname or anything like that... What he wanted most was to have a great-grandson in his arms before he died."
"After all, the emperor may come and go, but the family remains..."
Fujino first made a joke, then said helplessly: "To have a great-grandson in one's lifetime, this wish... is really common to all old people."
"Well...it's still a little early, but I think..."
"Cough hum!"
At this time, Sonoko coughed and said, "Come to think of it, President Guijiang's husband is indeed quite capable."
As she spoke, her tone changed: "But unfortunately, that person died in a traffic accident a few days ago."
Kusaka Hironari then brought it up: "Come to think of it, that's who Miwako's boss is?"
Akiyoshi Miwako nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Yasiro Hideto was my boss and the chief designer of this ship. Unfortunately, he died before he could see the ship sail."
"Is it an accident?"
Fujino asked, "Or was it an accident that someone deliberately arranged?"
Akiyoshi Miwako sighed: "The police are still investigating. The current result is that he had a heart attack while going downhill and rushed directly off the cliff."
