"You are actually appreciated by Yasuharu Haneda?"
As soon as Ikujiang put down the phone and returned to the living room, he met Reiko Shimizu's shocked eyes. Apparently she had already searched for the name Yasuharu Haneda on the Internet while Ikujiang was on the phone.
"It doesn't count as being appreciated by him." Yujiang was humble for once, "The outcome will depend on my visit to Haneda's house this weekend."
Reiko Shimizu knew that Ikue learned shogi and came into contact with Haneda Yasuharu in order to investigate the truth about the car accident, but she did not expect that Ikue would actually go to this extent.
Not just anyone can improve their shogi skills from a novice to a level that even professional shogi players will look at in a week.
"Do you need me to help you check the preferences of Mr. and Mrs. Yasuharu Haneda?" Reiko Shimizu offered.
Yu Jiang did not refuse.
It is necessary to know these in advance to help improve Haneda Yasuharu's first impression of him. And even if it's not to improve his favor, he should at least know how to avoid sensitive topics that can easily arouse Yasuharu Haneda's disgust - such as Koji Haneda.
Shimizu Reiko was very efficient at work. She had already obtained the most basic investigation results before Yujiang went to bed that night.
"See for yourself." Reiko Shimizu turned the computer screen to Yujiang and showed him the information she summarized.
Yujiang watched and listened to her introduction——
"After the death of their only son, Koji Haneda, the Haneda couple have lived in seclusion over the years. Yasharu Haneda has almost no special hobbies, but his wife, Ichiyo Haneda, in addition to tea ceremonies, especially likes to make various Japanese confectionery."
In addition to this most basic information, the document summarized by Shimizu Reiko also attached a list, which was a record of the most recent purchase of wagashi materials by Haneda City.
Yujie glanced at it and immediately discovered the problem: "It seems that Haneda City has not purchased any of the flowers commonly used in making Japanese confectionery?"
"Maybe it's because there is a garden at home? For a wealthy family like Haneda, the yard must be very big."
"No, if that's the case..." Yujie slid the mouse and turned to the Haneda family's daily necessities purchase list, "Why is there no record of the Haneda family purchasing seeds and flower arrangements?"
"Then...maybe she doesn't like wagashi made from flowers."
"Do you have a shopping list for the Haneda family this spring or in previous years?" Yujie asked.
"I'll have someone look for it."
These records were obtained by Reiko Shimizu who asked someone to contact the merchant who delivered goods to the Haneda family. The merchant might also keep past records.
Half an hour later, Shimizu Reiko got the Haneda family's shopping list for this spring.
Yu Jiang found the missing piece of the puzzle on the first page.
Shimizu Reiko and he looked at the same message almost at the same time——
Allergy medicine!
spring!
hay fever!
This would explain why Ichiyo Haneda never uses flowers to make wagashi - she has a history of pollen allergies, which may even be very serious.
Yujiang looked at the message and gradually laughed out loud.
Shimizu Reiko looked sideways at him: "Why are you laughing?"
"I laughed that this piece of information came on time, as if it was specially prepared for me." Yu Jiang said, closing the document and deleting all remaining records on the computer.
"What are you going to do?" Shimizu Reiko asked again.
But this time, Yu Jiang didn't answer her question.
Yujiang plans to take advantage of this.
Pollen allergy is a problem that bothers many people. It cannot even be called a disease. The main cause of pollen allergy is the body's overly sensitive immune system.
Although the pollen composition of allergy-causing wind-pollinated flowers is extremely complex, in addition to 25% water, there are also polysaccharides, fats, proteins and peptides, all of which can cause allergies.
But the most important allergenic antigen component is still protein.
Considering the circumstances of the Haneda family, including the fact that Yasuharu Haneda once eradicated the chamomile grown on the street next door, it is not difficult to infer that the allergen causing Haneda Ichiyo's allergies is most likely the pollen of that small white flower.
Yujiang knew where to get chamomile antigen analogues.
What he wants is the favor of the Haneda family for saving his life, so as to ensure the trust of Haneda Yasuharu.
…
In a blink of an eye, the day of the scheduled visit with Haneda Yasuharu came.
Yujiang prepared some cakes in advance, mixed the pollen analogue with honey, and brushed it on the surface of the cakes.
With this concentration of chamomile antigen, once Ichiro Haneda comes into contact with pastries, she will most likely develop various symptoms due to allergies, which may even be life-threatening in severe cases.
Of course there are risks in doing so. After all, there is not enough time for Yujiang to conduct concentration experiments, and he does not know how serious Haneda Ichiyo's allergic reaction is and whether it will be fatal.
But...what does Haneda Ichiyo's life have to do with him?
After preparing everything, Yujie set out on the road to Haneda's house.
The Haneda family is located in a villa area on the outskirts of Tokyo. It has a high degree of greenery, beautiful scenery, and a pleasant environment. Most of the people who live here are famous and prestigious families in Japan.
Yasuharu Haneda's greatest fame is his status as a shogi player, but when Yue actually stood in front of Haneda's house, he knew that Yasharu Haneda must have other careers.
Because this family is so rich.
Unlike the surrounding European-style or modern-style buildings, the Haneda house can simply be called a mansion.
It has blue bricks and black tiles, lush forests and bamboos, and dozens of pine trees of different shapes dotted in front of the door.
Yujiang pressed the doorbell with one finger.
After a while, a female voice came from the loudspeaker at the doorbell: "Who is it?"
"Shibata Danya, it was Mr. Katsumata Riki who introduced me to visit him."
"please wait."
Yu Jiang waited for another two minutes or so, and the door to Haneda's house finally opened.
The person who opened the door for him was not Yasuharu Haneda or Ichiyo Haneda, but a middle-aged woman wearing a kimono.
Seeing Yu Jiang, the woman bowed politely to him: "Mr. Shibata, please come in. I am already waiting in the tea room."
"Thank you."
Ikue returned the courtesy politely, and then followed the woman into the quaint mansion of the Haneda family.
If the Haneda Residence peeked from the outside is impressive, then when you get closer, what this residence presents to Ikue is more of an interior show.
Swirling trees, elegant stones, and trickling water can be seen almost everywhere. Haneda House truly changes the scene with each step, and there is something interesting at every glance.
The woman first took Yu Jiang to the guest room to take off his coat and shoes to rest, and then took him to a Japanese room near the water.
She knelt outside the door, and after getting the master's permission, she opened the door of the Japanese room for Yu Jiang.
The people in the room heard the movement and looked at Yu Jiang at the same time.
Yu Jiang raised his head without being humble and met the eyes of an elegant woman.
That's Haneda City.
