Chapter 892: The Root of Opposition
A group of people stayed in the Room for another half an hour, explaining the Situation to the two Police Officers.
“Well then, the Thief’s Purpose is likely not for Property, but for Demonstration?” the Middle-aged Police Officer asked Mr. Chi seriously, “Mr. Chi, can you think of anyone who might do such a thing?”
“There’s been a bit of unrest among the Shareholders of Field Group for a while now. I can't rule out the Possibility that they hired someone to Take Action against me. Although my Safety hasn't been a Problem so far, it's always Better to be careful,” Chi Feichei said calmly, subtly guiding the Pace, “As for personal grudges, my Social Interaction circle isn't Complex. Perhaps there are some, but I can't think of any at the moment…”
The Middle-aged Police Officer Nodded, “Were you acquainted with Miss Katori before?”
If it was a Demonstration, stealing the Ring was likely to disgust Chi Feichei or to Demonstrate against Chi Feichei, meaning it was aimed at Chi Feichei. However, it couldn't be ruled out that the other party was targeting both of them at the same Time, so it was necessary to Ask about any Connection between the two.
“No, I don’t Know her.” Chi Feichei said definitively.
The Middle-aged Police Officer Observed Chi Feichei’s Expression, and seeing that he couldn't discern anything, he Looked towards Shinya Oga, “Then Mr. Zenya, do you Know if Miss Katori has any enemies? And who might do such a thing?”
“Akane has a very good Personality, and she rarely even argues with people…” Shinya Oga recalled, secretly Glanced at his Family, and still said, “I still can’t Think of anyone who would do such a thing.”
“Because Mr. Chi said not to alarm Others, and we heard that no one’s Safety is being threatened, so,” the Middle-aged Police Officer Looked at Chi Feichei, and said to Oga Tae, “only the two of us came over…”
Oga Tae breathed a sigh of relief in her Heart and said seriously, “Please prioritize people’s Safety, you two.”
Investigating the Ring theft could be put on hold for now.
“That’s for sure!” The Middle-aged Police Officer Nodded emphatically, and added, “Since you intend to Pause the Wedding, could you have Miss Katori Come Over as well? Before Matters are clarified, it’s Better not to engage in Activities alone.”
“I’ll go find her and bring her over,” Shinya Oga said.
“I’ll go too,” Suzuki Sonoko volunteered to Get Up, “I want to go See her.”
“Me too,” Mouri Ran said quickly.
Shinya Oga Nodded and led Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran out the Door.
Conan secretly Followed.
This Hissashi Fellow’s Paranoia tendency must have resurfaced again. He didn’t Think it was Weird, but that Photo…
Haibara Ai didn't Follow, listening to the Police analyze the Situation.
About twenty minutes passed, and Mouri Ran and the Three People returned in a hurry, but Akane Katori was not with them.
“Something’s wrong!” Suzuki Sonoko said anxiously, “Older Sister Akane is gone! She took off her Wedding Dress and put it on the Chair, and she’s already left!”
Chi Feichei Sense that a trace of Disappointment flashed across Oga Tae’s Eyes. Although it was quickly contained, he wouldn't misread it.
“This…” Oga Masayo Looked at her Husband in Surprise.
“This is Might As Well!” Oga Tae said coldly, “Having lost the Ring, she has no Face to continue with the Marriage, right?”
“Could that Ring be…” Mochida Hideo hesitated for a moment, not finishing his Words, but everyone present Knew what he wanted to Say—
‘Could it be that Akane Katori took it?’
Although compared to marrying into a Wealthy Family, the Value of a Ring was much lower, it couldn't be ruled out that a con artist came to scam some Money and then run away.
Especially since Akane Katori was getting married, and almost no one from the Woman's Family and Friends came.
“No way! Akane is not that kind of Person,” Shinya Oga said directly, annoyed by his Family’s Thoughts about his beloved Woman, “I wanted to Say it Just Now, I Don’t Know what’s going on with that Paper Doll that very likely alludes to Hissashi, but that Photo of Akane was taken in June when we came here together, and I took it for her. Only Family members could get that Photo!”
Oga Tatsuya frowned, “Zenya, are you Suspecting Family members of stealing that Ring to prevent you from getting married?”
Oga Tae stood up with a sullen Face, “Since Zenya Suspects us, then let’s Search! Let’s See if we have that Ring on us or in our Rooms!”
The two Police Officers Looked at each other, feeling immense Pressure. They only agreed to be witnesses and let this Family Search themselves.
Not long after the Search began, Shinya Oga left to find his Fiancee. Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko also went to other Places to Help Search. Conan also Felt that he Should Go Out to find Clues and Followed them out.
After the Search ended hastily, Oga Tae dismissed the Others, brewed Tea in the Lounge for the two Police Officers and Chi Feichei, Glanced at Haibara Ai who had been Following Chi Feichei, hesitated for a moment, and still Spoke Out, “I Know where the Ring is…”
The Old Lady confessed in front of the Police, Chi Feichei, and Haibara Ai.
The Ring was stolen by Oga Miwa at her Request. Her Purpose was not to prevent the Wedding from proceeding, but to Test Akane Katori.
“Actually, I Know Akane’s Father. He was an excellent Glass Craftsman. I admire his Works and once had the Bank lend him Money to maintain the Operation of the Glass Workshop, but he was too insistent on his own Ideas. I asked him to try to create Works that the Public could appreciate, but he said that those people didn’t Understand how to appreciate his Art and refused to accept my Opinions. As a result, he kept owing Oga Bank one sum of Money after another,” Oga Tae sighed, “The Oga Family started with Sea Transport, and it has Developed quite well in recent years, but the Liquid Funds in those years were really not much, and it was Just a small Bank. In order to keep the Bank running, we asked Akane’s Father to repay the Money. Originally, we wanted him to compromise and make a Profit, but Unexpectedly, he couldn't bear the Pressure and directly chose Suicide. Afterwards, that Glass Workshop was mortgaged to me, but I never Saw Akane again…”
Haibara Ai Spoke Out, “Then the Glass Workshop owned by Oga…”
Oga Tae Nodded, “It’s Akane’s Father’s. Initially, I opposed their Marriage Because when I Saw her, I would Feel guilty. Later, I also accepted her. This Time, I had Miwa steal the Ring, not intending to prevent the Wedding, but to give her a final Test. The Information about the Ring’s Location is actually hidden in the Photo…”
“Photo?” Haibara Ai Turned Head to Look at Chi Feichei, who was sitting beside her.
Chi Feichei Looked down at the Desktop, looking like he was waiting to hear the End of this Story.
He didn't want Oga Tae to probe his Details, so naturally, he wouldn't analyze what Riddle was hidden in that Photo.
Even if he wanted to analyze it, he wouldn't Ask, let alone discuss it with Oga Tae.
As for the Reason why Oga Tae opposed the Marriage between the two, Oga Tae only told half of it.
Initially, Oga Tae might have expressed her Disagreement with the Marriage Idea Because of guilt, but Due To Oga Miwa’s tendency to Follow Others’ Attitudes, and Looking at the Old Lady’s appearance, she usually had the most say in the Home, so it was even more impossible for Oga Miwa not to Follow the Old Lady’s lead and express her Dissatisfaction with Akane Katori, and without any Restraint.
Shinya Oga Felt his Family’s Rejection, Disdain, or other Emotions towards his beloved Woman, Felt hopeless to gain support, and was not mature enough himself, so he Spoke Out Words like ‘Run Away From Home’.
And Shinya Oga’s Behavior also made the Old Lady Feel that this Marriage was not Okay.
As Family members, even if the Old Lady was used to making decisions, she might be a A Bit Dissatisfied with her Grandson’s Disobedience, but if Shinya Oga’s Disobedience convinced the Old Lady, afterwards, the Old Lady would also Feel that her Anger had completely Subsided, and even Feel gratified that there was a successor.
Unfortunately, Shinya Oga’s Disobedience was not wise. To make his Family accept the Woman he loved, the Best Method Should be to Understand his Family’s Ideas and Communicate to Solve his Family’s Concerns. If Communication failed, then it would not be too late to disobey, but it Looked like Shinya Oga had not Considered this. As Long As he was Heartfelt and Expressed his Responsibility to Communicate, Shinya Oga would not be so unable to Understand that the Reason for the Old Lady’s Opposition was actually Easy to Solve.
Shinya Oga couldn't even See clearly the Personalities of his Older Sister and Grandmother, and used ‘Run Away From Home’ as a Threat like a Child to force his Family to agree to his Choice.
In this case, the Old Lady’s Disappointment was necessary, and it was no wonder that in front of Shinya Oga, who was good at treating people, she would Say Words like ‘there is no Heir who can Take Over’.
He could Probably Guess that Shinya Oga had been spoiled by his Family since he was a Child. The Education at Home made him gentle, kind, and polite to Others, and he also had a Graceful demeanor, but he himself didn't Understand his Family enough. He Looked mature, but his Mentality was still immature.
At least when it came to Matters related to Akane Katori, Shinya Oga’s Actions were Indeed impulsive and childish. For Ordinary Person, this Impact was not significant, As Long As the two were happy, but for the Heir of the Ooga Foundation, such Shinya Oga was far from qualified.
And Due To this Reason that her Grandson was not mature enough, Oga Tae was Probably Considering letting Shinya Oga marry a Girl who was decisive or Insightful and could persuade Shinya Oga to listen. The former could serve as Shinya Oga’s ‘capable assistant’ to Develop or maintain the Family business together, while the latter could serve as a ‘virtuous wife’ to Help Shinya Oga Grow.
A large Family business passed down from ancestors like the Conglomerate was difficult to collapse, but it was not impossible. Taking a step back, choosing a Girl with a good Family Background would also give Shinya Oga more Assistance or a way out in the Future.
Akane Katori’s Personality was too gentle and weak. Although she was two years older than Shinya Oga, it could be Seen that she relied on Shinya Oga more. Naturally, she did not meet Oga Tae’s Expectations for a Granddaughter-in-law.
However, Probably Feeling that Opposition was useless, the Old Lady defaulted to this Marriage in her Heart and Decided to give this Girl a final Test to See if she was smart.
Of course, such a couple would have a Hard Time in the Future, but As Long As they could Grow together and be considerate of each other, they might not necessarily be unable to find happiness.
As a Result, after Akane Katori lost the Ring, she took off her Wedding Dress and left sadly.
The Old Lady was Disappointed.
To put it sentimentally: My Grandson disregarded everything to be with you, why can’t you persevere for him? Even if you can’t Solve the Mystery, at least you Should express your Determination and Attitude, right?
From a rational Point of View, one could also See Akane Katori’s evasive and overly weak Personality, which was far from the Old Lady’s Psychological Expectation.
And Afterwards, Shinya Oga once again lost his Temper with his Family in front of Outsider for Akane Katori, and Suspected Family members of having Problems in front of the Police. This made the Old Lady even more Disappointed. Therefore, the Old Lady’s Face was so ugly and cold when she proposed the Inspection.
“The Ring is on the Statue in the Fountain Pool, which is the Statue of Psyche finally gaining Aphrodite’s Recognition,” Oga Tae directly Spoke Out the Answer, “I wanted to wait for her to find the Ring before expressing my Acceptance and Blessing…”
“Then why put that Paper Doll and Photo together?” Chi Feichei asked the Problem he wanted to Know.
As for the follow-up, it will be supplemented in a few days… Wait for the Full Moon Arc to be supplemented at once. (Coding words, coding words, coding words…)
