"Senior Shangang, are you still leaving?"

"Ah... I'll leave when I clean the sink..."

"You are really serious, no wonder the manager has always regarded you very highly!"

"Ha... it's just a trivial matter, I just do it casually, that... go back quickly..."

"Hey, see you tomorrow, Senior Shangang!"

"See you tomorrow!"

After greeting colleagues who were familiar with him in the same store, Shangang Shengzheng continued to lift the iron fence on the floor, and then carefully cleaned the aluminum alloy sink below. The reason for this is because if there are food or vegetable residues left in it, it will not only produce terrible mold, but it may also attract creatures such as mice or cockroaches over time. of trust.

...

"Ah...it's so much more comfortable!"

Half an hour later, looking at the sink in the kitchen, which had regained its metallic luster, a satisfied smile appeared on Shangang Shengzheng's face involuntarily. So he put the iron fences covering the sink that he picked up one by one back to their original places, and then silently returned to the bathroom attached to the staff locker room to rinse his body, until after all this was done, Shengzheng Yamaoka Only then changed into clean clothes, and then... the last one left Songan.

Since its opening, Shangang Shengzheng has been the last employee to leave almost every day. The reason for this is actually not because Songan is too busy to do things. The reason is mainly because Shan Gang Shengzheng is unwilling to let colleagues see his tattoos. It's really strange to say, when he was young, Shan Gang Shengzheng wished that everyone could see his tattoo with meaning, but at this age, the tattoo on his body has become a big part of Shan Gang's life. burden.

Because in Tokyo, there are only a few bathrooms that allow people with tattoos to enter, and the apartment rented by Shangang, because the price is cheap, it is naturally impossible to have a bath, so the staff bathroom of Songan can be borrowed every day. , for Shangang Shengzheng, it really helped him a lot. After all... if there were no bathrooms here, he would have to take the risk of going to the bathrooms specially set up for the yakuza organization to take a bath, in which case he would inevitably meet people he knew in the past. This is the last thing Shan Gang wants to encounter now.

"Ah... Another fulfilling day!"

Shangang Shengzheng sighed and walked all the way to the convenience store near his residence. As the most anticipated moment of the day, a snack with wine. A can of beer is enough for Shangang Shengzheng to enjoy an evening. Unlike the young people in Songan, Shanggang Shengzheng didn't know how to use the current mobile phone. And his only pleasure is to lie down in his small apartment and drink as much as he likes, but until now, his economic conditions have not been able to satisfy his little hobby.

Perhaps it was because it was late at night, when dragging his tired body back to his apartment, Shangang Shengzheng suddenly heard faint footsteps coming from behind him. This made him a little vigilant, and after he suddenly stopped, the voice behind him stopped abruptly.

This time, Shangang Shengzheng can already be sure that the other party should be following him, but... he still doesn't know who is following him like this. I saw Shangang Shengzheng first slowly turned around, and then asked the empty street in the most normal tone possible:

"Who is there, come out!"

When Shangang Shengzheng finished saying these words, he silently stared at the empty street behind him. I don't know how long it took, a figure slowly stood under the street lamp with a little melancholy, and finally showed his true body.

"Really...I'm really sorry...Although you may not know me, but...I need your help, Senior Shangang..."

Seeing a figure appearing under the street light, Shan Gang Shengzheng immediately raised his vigilance. However, when he carefully identified the other person's appearance, he found that he didn't seem to know the person in front of him, so... he asked the other person in a puzzled way:

"Excuse me... do we know each other?"

"I'm really sorry, I don't think you can remember me. A month ago, outside President Futian's office... I saw you once, at that time... your hand... so I remembered your name. !"

Seeing that the other party was sitting a little cautiously and cutting his fingers, Shangang Shengzheng could now confirm the identity of the other party. If he guessed correctly, this person should also belong to Sumiyoshi.

"Excuse me... is there something wrong? I have left the organization, I'm afraid... I can't help you?"

"I'm sorry, may I ask... can I go to your house and talk about it, I... I..."

Seeing the other party's reluctance to speak, Yamaoka Katsumasa was ignoring it, but he was afraid that Sumiyoshi would involve his own affairs, so... After weighing it for a while, he slowly nodded and agreed to the other party's request. , Immediately afterwards, Shan Gang Shengzheng returned to his residence with this stranger.

"Come in, the conditions are a bit rough, if I don't mind, I'll go get you a glass of water!"

"Hey, sorry to bother you!"

When Shan Gang brought the other party into the room, the unfamiliar man sat restrained at the small table in the middle of the room, and then looked at Shan Gang nervously. Shan Gang picked up a glass from the pool, filled it with water, and put it on the coffee table.

"Please use it! I'm sorry, I live alone, and...no one will come to see me...so...there is no tea at home!"

"Ah... it's okay!"

When the man heard what Shan Gang said, he picked up the glass and drank it. Shan Gang Shengzheng could see that the other party must be thirsty.

"Ah... I'm so sorry! I'm so rude! Thank you for your hospitality. In fact, I came to you today to ask you something in person... Excuse me... Did you receive one a few days ago? key?"

"Key? What key?"

"Eh? Didn't you receive it? I have confirmed your address again and again~lightnovelpub.net~ I think...I must be right!"

Hearing what the other party said, Shangang Shengzheng suddenly remembered the envelope that the postman who had sent him the acceptance letter had sent him a few weeks ago, and there was indeed a key in it.

"That letter... is it from you?"

"Hey! At that time, the situation was urgent, because I couldn't carry any important things with me, so I kept him in a place that was not easily noticed by outsiders. That key... You should still keep it!"

"Who are you and why do you send me that kind of thing..."

"I'm really sorry, because I can't think of anyone who can safely save these contents for a while. My name is Tianto Zhongzheng, and I have been helping President Fukuda with financial problems all these years. But... If I talk about it. , you and I were both detained in the Tokyo Detention Center more than ten years ago!"
