[Soul of Chess] What if

"Mr. Ogata, have you visited the school festival held by Haze Middle School this year?"

"Eh?"

Ogata, who was secretly observing the change in the other party's expression, suddenly heard such a question, and didn't react for a while.He froze for a moment before replying: "No. Why do you ask such a question?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Masao smiled gently, "It just suddenly occurred to me that this year seems to be the 40th anniversary of the founding of Haze Middle School. Participating, now that I think about it, I still feel a little pity :)”

He said, returning the phone to Ogata very naturally.

This development was completely beyond Ogata's expectations.

Although he has a lot of questions in his mind that he wants to ask clearly, but under the current situation, it is not easy for him to ask too many questions. Once the other party becomes wary, everything he has done before will be in vain.

Knowing this, when the other party handed the phone back, he could only pick it up as if nothing had happened.

It's just that once this opportunity is missed, it will be too deliberate to ask the other party about it in the future.

So, to ask, or not to ask?Ogata was a little hesitant for a while.

After hesitating in his heart for a long time, Ogata couldn't help but said: "... Excuse me, do you have any impression of this recording?"

"Huh? Are you referring to the content of this recording?" Masao looked at Ogata as if confirming, "No. Ah, I mean, I don't have any impression of this recording."

"And, to be honest, with such a voice full of classical charm, no matter how I think about it, it's impossible for me who is in front of the computer all day to be able to say it." At this point, the other party couldn't help laughing.

The other party's reaction seemed flawless.Just when Ogata was thinking about how to proceed——

"Section Leader Shinto."

Not far away, a head poked out from the door.Also sticking out is a stack of documents and the like.

After seeing Ogata, the young man realized that the Section Chief Shindo he was talking about should be talking with someone else, so the expression on the young man's face suddenly froze.

"Sorry, I still have work, so I'm sorry." Zhengfu said with an apologetic expression on his face, "I'm really sorry that I couldn't provide you with any useful information."

"No, it's nothing, you are too polite." Ogata replied.

After that, the other party left, and the conversation ended.

Looking at the figure that was gradually going away, Ogata lowered his head and gently pushed his glasses, and covered the meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth with his hands.

Interesting, I didn't expect that I would be swayed by the other party.

Well, although I don't know what went wrong with my disguise, the other party gave the answer in a disguised form.

Because the other party didn't deny his problem immediately, which shows that the owner of this recording should be him.Those rambling content will only cover up the truth.

The other party should also know this.

Even so, it took such a lot of trouble, presumably it was to protect an important person, and I wanted to use this to keep my eyes from turning to the protected object as much as possible.

And that person must be the key person who can solve all the mysteries.Ogata was so sure.

Wait a moment.Since the language is hastily organized, there may be useful clues in the seemingly meaningless content.

What could it be?

Ogata played back the conversation between the two just now in his mind repeatedly, and after some deliberation, he finally found it: Yes, it is the school festival that the other party suddenly mentioned!

That's right, the other party didn't answer his question immediately after listening to the recording, but asked if he had visited the school festival at Haase Middle School, which showed that in the other party's subconscious, this recording should be related to that student. What does the garden festival have to do with it, that's why he unconsciously turned the topic to this.

The change in the attitude of the other party happened after he answered that he did not visit the school festival, which made Ogata more convinced that this recording had something to do with the school festival.

Now the answer is much clearer.Because there is only one person who is more important to the other party, needs to be protected, and has a relationship with Haze Middle School, and that is-Shinto Hikari.

Heh, is this the so-called "you can't find anything when you step through the iron shoes, and you can get it without any effort"?The corner of Ogata's mouth could not help but rise a little.

However, the person here is already on guard against himself. Once the two of them connect, it will be difficult for him to figure out anything.

Therefore, we must act as soon as possible.Thinking of this, Ogata's pace unconsciously quickened.

Here, after bidding farewell to the other party, the husband is looking for information about Sai on the Internet after finishing his business.

He has an impression of that recording, after all, he recorded it several times over and over again.There was also his own reason for not telling the truth to the other party.

In fact, Masao just felt a little strange when he heard this recording from the earpiece at first, because he remembered that Xiaoguang said it was needed for the school celebration performance.Although the scene of the school celebration may be much grander due to its special significance, no matter what, it is not possible to save the recording of the stage play performed by the junior high school students in the mobile phone, right?Not professional.

In addition, when I was listening to the recording, I always felt that someone's eyes stopped on me from time to time, as if they were observing me.And there is no one else in this corridor except the two of them, so the owner of that line of sight should be the other party.

Although it is a little strange that the other party's behavior, but if what Xiaoguang said is true, then as long as Mr. Ogata has visited the school celebration, no matter what the reason is, there is nothing unusual about this recording.

The problem is, Mr. Ogata didn't go.

Since I didn't go, it stands to reason that I wouldn't have heard this recording.However, now that the other party has not only heard this recording, but also deliberately saved it on his mobile phone, such a cautious attitude seems a bit weird.

Recalling the previous conversation between the two of them carefully, Zhengfu realized that the other party was obviously approaching him deliberately with the purpose of looking for someone.Relying on his superb disguise and ingenious conversation skills, he didn't realize it for a while, and almost fell into the other party's trap completely!Thinking of this, he couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat.

So, who is the other party looking for?

First of all, it is definitely not a small person who can make the other party look for it so carefully.According to the existing clues, that person should have something to do with this recording, and it is related to Go.In addition, Xiaoguang should know something about that mysterious person, otherwise he wouldn't have specially exchanged his birthday gift for asking himself to record this passage.

Thinking of the name in his memory, Masao entered the three letters "s", "a", and "i" in sequence in the browser, and then hit the enter key.

The author has something to say:

In the next chapter, Ogata-sensei will take action.
