“Left behind by your father?” Song Gangdong thought of it immediately.

“Yes, this was given to me by Master Nanami when I went to visit the grave, but I didn’t know where this key was, and my father didn’t leave any other words,” said Shinomiya Mikoto in distress.

“So those people today might be from the Shinomiya Group,” Songgang Dong said thoughtfully as he picked up the key.

“It’s very likely, but it could also be someone else, because I don’t know if other forces or people are involved in this matter,” said Shinomiya Mikoto a little irritably.

Song Gangdong checked the key and nodded: “It is indeed very troublesome. We all need to be more careful recently.”

Chapter 93 Morse Code

In the living room, Songgang Dong carefully observed the key. He always felt that there was something fishy about it. After all, it was impossible that Shigong’s father would not leave any clues.

“Think carefully about anything that might be related to this key,” Song Gangdong asked.

Shinomiya frowned and thought carefully about the time he spent with his father, but there was really no clue. He was quite close to his father when he was a child, but kept a certain distance from him as he grew older.

“There’s nothing special. My father is very busy so we don’t talk much. Wait, it’s Morse code!” Shinomiya suddenly said.

“Hmm?” Songgang Dong waited for her explanation.

Shinomiya explained: “When I was a child, he specially taught me the Morse code. I didn’t want to learn it at that time, but I finally learned it after he promised to buy me a super large toy house. I still remember it clearly now.”

“What does that have to do with the key?” Song Gangdong asked puzzledly.

“I remember that I saw the key on the day when I was taught Morse code. It was in a box and looked very new. It must have been made not long ago,” she said firmly.

When Song Gangdong heard this, he held the key and fell into deep thought. Morse code, key, but there were no patterns or holes on it, only a round hole on the key handle for passing things through.

“How is it? Have you found anything?” Sigong asked anxiously.

“Not yet.” Song Gangdong looked towards the light to see if there was anything hidden, but unfortunately he still found nothing.

Just when he inadvertently lowered his head, he saw the shadow on the table and was suddenly stunned. Then he seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked Shigong to bring him a mirror.

Then he placed the key teeth side against the mirror, and found that dots and dashes appeared in the gaps formed. This was the hidden Morse code.

“It’s very clever. If I hadn’t looked at the shadow and hadn’t had the idea, I wouldn’t have thought of it,” Song Gangdong said admiringly.

“It turns out that father had already made preparations.” Sigong’s eyes were slightly red.

Song Gangdong said comfortingly: “Let’s take a look at what the content is first.”

He really didn’t touch upon Morse code. After all, he didn’t use it in his part-time job. Even when he was running errands to deliver cigarettes to married men or something, he usually just used some code words.

For example, chewing gum, balloons, mineral water, etc., the packaging has to be changed, which is a bit troublesome, but the running errand fee is generally very high.

Shinomiya began to decipher the code with some excitement. Although she had learned it a long time ago, she had not forgotten it until now because her father had always tested her on it from time to time since then.

“Mitsui Bank 43901” she read out slowly.

“It should be the vault number. I might be able to find out some information if I go over there someday,” Songgang Dong responded.

“Hmm…” Si Gong was not very happy but felt disappointed and uneasy.

Song Gangdong had no other choice but to heat a cup of milk for her. No one else could help with this matter.

“You’d better be careful recently and don’t walk alone when going to and from school. I will accompany you,” Song Gangdong advised.

“Thank you,” Shinomiya responded gratefully.

“It doesn’t matter.” In fact, Songgang Dong was also a little curious about what was in the vault.

Afterwards, after Saori came out, the two of them dropped the topic because they didn’t want to involve her, and besides, she usually had club activities so there was no need to worry too much.

After this incident, Songgang Dong and Shigong went to contact a security company the next day after school to install cameras in their home. As long as they found someone breaking in, they would automatically call the nearest police station.

This way they don’t have to worry about the safety of their home. Because they were afraid of being followed in the dark, they didn’t go to the bank to withdraw anything for a few days.

Just like this a week passed, and on Monday the two of them pretended to go to school, then asked for leave from Ohnogi, changed into casual clothes, and sneaked out of the back door of the school.

“Teacher Ohkawa is really difficult to deal with,” Songgang Dong complained.

Sigong smiled and said, “Indeed, it’s thanks to our good grades, otherwise we would not have been able to get out.”

Just now, Ohkouchi looked at them with suspicion, but finally agreed after hearing the call from Matsuoka’s father, and their excuse was to deal with property-related issues.

Ohkouchi knew that one of them was a nouveau riche and the other was a beautiful, wealthy woman, so he did not doubt this statement. He was just curious about when they got together.

She had a bold guess in her mind, that is, the two families might have intermarried, which was a very common thing in Neon, so she let it go.

Of course, Song Gangdong and the others didn’t know that their class teacher had guessed half right, but even if they knew they wouldn’t care too much because their situation was indeed quite complicated.

After disguising themselves, the two finally arrived at Mitsui Bank. This bank is quite famous. After all, it is under the Mitsui Group and is quite large.

After entering the bank and explaining their purpose to the front desk, a female manager led them to the supervisor’s office, where there was a bald, middle-aged man.

“Hello Miss Shinomiya, your father and I are old acquaintances. I didn’t expect something like this to happen.” He looked a little sad.

“Thank you Minister Tiansen for still caring about my father. I came here today to take out the things my father left behind,” said Shinomiya Mikoto lightly.

“No problem, please follow me.” Tian Sen was also very decisive and led them directly to the vault.

However, since only one person was allowed to enter the vault, Songgang Dong had to wait outside. Shigong followed Tian Sen and finally entered after passing through heavy security.

After taking out the safe, Tian Sen also retreated. Shi Gong took out the key and slowly inserted it. Sure enough, this was the place. As the lid opened, the things inside were finally revealed.

There wasn’t much, just a few floppy disks and a letter, nothing else. When she saw the words on the envelope, she knew it was from her father.

However, she did not open it immediately. Instead, she left after packing everything and returned to the bank lobby soon.

“How is it?” Song Gangdong asked when he saw her.

“Yeah,” Shigong just nodded.

Then Songgang Dong approached her and whispered, “Stay natural, we are being watched.”

Although Sigong was a little surprised, he remained calm on the surface, and then whispered: “What should we do now?”

“It’s okay, I’ve already called and someone will come to pick us up soon,” Song Gangdong responded.

Hearing this, Sigong felt relieved, but Tian Sen saw that they hadn’t come over yet and smiled and said, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I’m just waiting for a friend to come over. We’ve already made an appointment. You go about your business and don’t worry about us,” Song Gangdong responded with a smile.

“So that’s how it is. Just wait patiently then.” Tian Sen nodded and returned to his office.

At this time, Sigong pretended to watch casually and found that there was indeed a car with a problem outside. Parking was not allowed where the car was parked.

Chapter 94: Things in Hand

The two of them were standing not far from the bank entrance. There were quite a lot of people in the bank at this time, and most of them were there to handle loan business.

Unfortunately, banks at this time have already conducted very strict loan reviews, and even with collateral, the loan amount is very low.

So many people are very frustrated and go out again. The most miserable are some small business owners who are basically rejected by major banks.

“The economy is really bad. My father collapsed because of a broken capital chain,” said Sigong with a gloomy expression.

Song Gangdong was a little puzzled: “It shouldn’t be like this. Logically speaking, if your father went bankrupt, the Shigong Group wouldn’t have survived. How come only your family was ruined?”

Shinomiya Mikoto sneered: “It seems that my father was researching a semiconductor material, but the board of directors did not support this project, so my father pledged his own stocks.”

“But I didn’t expect the bank to suddenly call in the loan, and coupled with the economic crisis, the Shinomiya Group also faced a crisis. The most important thing was that Shinomiya Ryo betrayed and replaced the chairman, so our family went bankrupt overnight.”

“Fortunately, the family savings, my mother’s dowry and my father’s insurance money were enough to pay off all the debts.”

Songgang Dong then roughly understood the situation of her family. In short, they were extremely unlucky to have encountered an economic crisis and were also tricked by someone.

“I guess there are things we don’t know about it,” Songgang Dong said thoughtfully.

Shigong nodded: “I didn’t think so before, but the things that happened recently and the things my father left behind make me a little suspicious of my father’s death.”

“Didn’t Mr. Shigong commit suicide?” Songgang Dong’s eyes were solemn.

“I’m just suspicious,” Shinomiya Mikoto said uncertainly.

Song Gangdong thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go back and see what the letter says.”

Just at this moment they saw a car coming outside, and the person who got out was Inspector Aoki, who was in charge of investigating the theft case in Matsuoka’s house some time ago.

“Thank you, Inspector Aoki, for coming here,” said Matsuoka Dong gratefully.

Qingmu smiled and glanced outside and said, “As it should be. It seems that things are really not peaceful around you.”

“Well, so please take us home today,” Songgang Dong asked.

“It’s okay,” Aoki responded nonchalantly.

Then the three of them got in the car. The process was safe and nothing happened. No one knew what message the car received and there was no movement.

Aoki glanced in the rearview mirror and said, “It seems that the other party is well-informed.”

“That’s true,” Songgang Dong nodded.

Shinomiya asked curiously, “Officer Aoki, you don’t look too surprised.”

“This is a long story,” Aoki sighed.

Matsuoka Dong quickly said, “Let me tell you. Actually, after the theft, Inspector Aoki and I kept in touch and found some clues, but in the end the case was sealed as an ordinary theft case.”

“It was the Metropolitan Police Department that urged us to do this,” Aoki said with a depressed look on his face.

“But there really aren’t enough clues, and those guys ran too fast,” Songgang Dadong comforted.

“Those bastards up there,” Aoki gritted his teeth.

Song Gangdong said without caring: “It can’t be helped. The other party is reasonable in every aspect.”

“Those people following you should be from the same force,” Aoki said after a while of anger.

“Probably. I thought they might use force so I had to call you,” Song Gangdong replied.

Qingmu perked up a bit and said, “Do you want me to send someone to keep an eye on it?”

“Thank you so much,” Songgang Dong said happily.

“This is what I should do, but this matter has not been filed so this is all I can do. Please be careful about yourselves,” Aoki said regretfully.

Since there was no evidence that anyone wanted to harm Song Gangdong and his team, he was in a passive position officially and could only provide limited help within the scope of his authority.

“It would be great if those guys took action,” Song Gangdong said with narrowed eyes.

“Yes, but you are in some danger,” Aoki shook his head.
