Tokyo: The Player Behind the Scenes.

Chapter 97, Section 95: To Be Buried With You

An abandoned industrial area.

Due to the hollowing out of the manufacturing industry, environmental policies, and changes in land prices, many industrial parks in Adachi Ward have been abandoned and turned into overgrown weeds.

Moreover, the transportation here is inconvenient, so even homeless people rarely choose to "settle down" here.

As night falls, the number of vehicles passing by on the surrounding roads decreases. Occasionally, some community groups will organize activities that bring some noise, but most of the time it is a lifeless scene.

It is indeed very suitable for burying corpses or conducting any shady transactions.

According to Akabane's memory, Iwasaki found a patch of fresh soil in a field of weeds, its color distinctly different from the surrounding soil.

After reaching out and touching it to feel it for a while, he stood up and gently raised his hand.

Instantly, the soil particles in front of him began to tumble and jump like wet popping candy, slowly but surely, and ripples spread across the soil.

Before long, as the soil loosened, a female corpse with purplish-red lividity and a slightly swollen abdomen appeared in front of Iwasaki as if it had floated up from the soil.

It was his sister, whom he hadn't seen for some time.

Iwasaki's hands trembled almost imperceptibly as he removed his hood, revealing his true form.

He knelt on one knee in front of the corpse, gently stroking the face that now seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

As if sensing something, Iwasaki paused, then gently opened the corpse's mouth as much as possible, reached in with his mage hand, and carefully removed an SD card wrapped in a small piece of plastic from the corner of the mouth.

After staring at the SD card for a while, he put his hood back on, then picked up the corpse and stood up.

"Ya, you've worked hard. Brother will take you home."

Iwasaki transformed back into black mist, using his mage's hand to lift his sister's corpse, enveloping it within, and flew towards the home he hadn't returned to in a long time.

After flying around intermittently for about an hour, he finally returned to his home in Shibuya Ward.

It was an ordinary apartment building, an inheritance left by his parents. He had only returned once since his car accident, and Ya had lived there alone for several years.

Following the shadows, Iwasaki led the body to the balcony, surveyed the house's layout, and discovered several hidden cameras.

It seems she knew her situation was not good from the start.

He covered the camera and carried the body into the house.

The interior decorations have remained almost unchanged, mostly frozen in time from the day of the car accident. Even the note written by my mother on the refrigerator that day has been sealed with tape.

Perhaps it was because she couldn't forget that Ya had been investigating the cause of the car accident from years ago in her spare time, which is likely the reason she was killed.

Based on the timeline, it seems that Yacha uncovered crucial evidence, revealing that the car accident was orchestrated by Iwasaki Toshitaka's faction.

Then he was discovered by Toshitaka Iwasaki, who warned him and threatened him with Kosuke Iwasaki's life.

But the younger sister, perhaps out of deep hatred, did not agree or wanted to delay being discovered, and as a result, she was...
Of course, she has always been smart, and it is more likely that she knew that Iwasaki Kosuke posed no threat to them, and that acting recklessly would only result in more harm than good, which is why she did not care about their threat.

They may even have foreseen their own death, so they would likely have left themselves a backup plan.

She certainly wouldn't have expected that she would be the one looking for clues, so she would probably give the clues to someone she trusts.
Could it be Otomo Iwasaki?
Iwasaki Otomo is the leader of the faction to which the Iwasaki Kosuke family belongs. After his parents passed away, he helped with many things. Miyako currently works at his company.

They are people you can absolutely trust.

At least that's what he thought.

The evidence that Ya Neng collected is most likely related to him.

After a period of silent contemplation, he had already walked around the room but had not found the computer.

And Ya cannot possibly not use a computer.

So it was stolen by someone arranged by Jun-hyo?

Since the computer disappeared, it must have contained something important, and the SD card that Ya hid in her mouth was probably backup data.

Iwasaki thought for a while, then walked into his almost unchanged room and lifted the poster next to the bookshelf.

That was a secret space he designed himself, originally known only to him, but Ya had once stumbled upon it.

Remove the obstruction to reveal a square space containing a tablet and a power bank. Take out the tablet; unlocking it requires a password. Enter the date of the car accident to unlock it.

It was a surveillance video, but it was obscured; it showed the same few cameras he had sensed in the room just now.

Iwasaki estimated the time and began the callback.

Sure enough, just two days ago, there were two people.
No, this person is
Is it Otomo Iwasaki? !

These two people are actually Iwasaki Ohtomo and Iwasaki Toshitaka?

They entered normally, so it's not surprising that Iwasaki Hirotomo had a key to their house; in fact, he had a key even when his parents were still alive.

But why did he come in with Toshitaka Iwasaki?
They didn't exchange any words. Toshitaka Iwasaki even used the device that monitors for recording equipment to scan the area, but miraculously, it didn't detect any hidden surveillance cameras.

Then, Iwasaki Otomo easily found Aya's computer, put it in his briefcase, and left as if nothing had happened.

"Ah."

Iwasaki's face was already icy cold.

It seems that Iwasaki Hirotomo also played some disgraceful role in the car accident.

Everyone knew that the car accident was going to happen, except for their family.

They all deserve to die.

Iwasaki inserted the SD card into the tablet, opened the storage space, but found only one text file named "Last Will and Testament".

My mind is a mess right now.

I finally understand why my parents died.

But I just found it laughable.

They died in vain, and my brother's future was ruined for nothing.

They've discovered my plans, and I'm going to cause a huge scene at that old man's 70th birthday banquet and blow them out of the water!
That is, if I can hold out until then.

Uncle Dayou doesn't support my approach. I've verbally agreed, but I'm still making preparations.

Although I don't think the outcome will be good, my family is just a pitiful bunch of cannon fodder. Even if I give this so-called evidence to the Metropolitan Police Department, they won't be punished. After all, these things are too weak as evidence.

I originally wanted to back up those data, but then I thought better of it. A knife is only useful in the hands of someone who is qualified to wield it.

TNT, all the messages I send will definitely be checked. I don't want to implicate you, so I can only keep them on the memory card. I don't know where this thing will be when I die.

But if you managed to find my suicide note here, please accept my thumbs up! You really are the best!

And please don't tell my brother everything we investigated. Please, thank you!
Ya-liu

TNT? Whose nickname is that?

From the information, Ya didn't seem to realize that Otomo and Toshitaka were in cahoots.

Like Miyabi, Iwasaki no longer cares about why the car accident happened.

But he knew that the Iwasaki family should not exist anymore.

The saying that a knife is only effective when it is wielded by someone qualified to wield it is true, but Iwasaki doesn't need a knife right now.

The old man she was referring to, Iwasaki, was none other than the current head of the Iwasaki family.

Since the younger sister's final wish is to cause a scene at the Iwasaki family head's seventieth birthday banquet.
"As you wish, Ya."

"The Iwasaki family only needs me."

"As for the rest, I will ensure the entire family remains intact."

"Buried with you."
