Chapter 422 - ANGER AND DISGUST (1/2)
As Seiji went up the driveway, he was waved to a stop by a police officer. The strict law enforcement officer looked at the two people in the vehicle with a deep ȧssessing eye. There was suspicion in the dark eyes.
”Who are you?” He questioned.
Daiki was a little unsatisfied at being treated so poorly at his own home. The officer acted like he had no idea who he was. Even if his homeownership was unclear to this policeman, he was also a prominent figure in the Mountain Ridge community. The question showed utter disregard for him.
Of course, he was already in a poor mood.
Seiji noticed his father was about to speak up and knew the words would not be pleasant. Therefore, he decided to get ahead of the situation.
”This is our home, officer. I am Yamazaki Seiji, and this is my father. Can you tell us what is going on?” He asked without aggression.
He hoped he could get information as soon as possible, so he maintained a polite tone. He could not imagine what could have caused the scene.
The police officer's face changed as he looked at them. The shift was not into one of the expected fear and respect. It was one of pity as if they had experienced the greatest misfortune without their knowledge.
”Please go on to the house. Someone will brief you immediately.” The tone was polite.
However, the policeman did not say anything more in the way of explanation. He turned and walked away with another pitiful glance at the vehicle.
”Dad, what is going on?” Seiji asked as he started the vehicle again.
”I don't know.”
”I know something is going on. When you went outside to check on your phone, you decided to return home despite Grandma's protests. What did you see?” Seiji did not let it go.
”Let's just wait and find out the truth from an informed person. What a mess!” Daiki responded with irritation.
When the two people pulled into the parking lot in front of the house, they found a man in a black uniform waiting for them. He did not look like a regular police officer, but he seemed to be involved in law enforcement.
He looked at Daiki and Seiji with anger and even some disgust as they stepped out of the vehicle.
”Are you Yamazaki Daiki and Yamazaki Seiji?” He asked even though he knew.
”Yes, and I would like to know what is happening in my home.” Daiki was tired of the looks.
He wondered if everyone knew about the messages on his phone. The strange looks implied that they were pitying him and looking down on him. He could only imagine it was because they knew that his wife was cheating on him.
”Please come with me.” The man did not give Daiki any face.
The two men were led into the dining room, which had been turned into some sort of situation room. Two women in black uniforms were standing outside the door guarding the room. When they entered, they found two other people, a man and a woman, using the table as a work desk.
The two were working on computers and did not look up even with the intrusion. There were also paper files on the desk in multiple neat piles. Seiji and Daiki were allowed to sit down on the chairs. The person who brought them in looked down at them.
”Are you aware of the crimes committed by members of your family, Mr Yamazaki?” The man asked.
Daiki felt his heart sink. He had skimmed his emails, but he was too focused on the message about his wife with incriminating photos. He knew the emails had something to do with the Ito family and their evil actions.
