Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

After pouring the ashes in the tea bowl into the tea stove at hand, Sanada Kenjiro methodically poured the water from the teapot into the tea bowl and rinsed it. Finally, he carefully wiped the tea bowl clean with a tea towel and placed it back. to its original position.

After doing all this, Sanada Kenjiro looked at the paper cherry blossoms in the box and fell into a long silence. It wasn't until his son called that he got up and left the tea room through the side door.

Since receiving the transfer letter to Tokyo, Sanada Kenjiro bought a three-bedroom apartment near the Metropolitan Police Department.

As soon as he arrived downstairs, Sanada Kenjiro was keenly aware of the lights on the residential floor.

When I opened the door with the key, as expected, I saw my son Sanada Masahiko, who had hardly been here twice, in the living room.

Masahiko Sanada was selected by the STA after graduating from the police academy. Even though he is now the section chief of the 1st Section of the Security Department and a well-deserved rising star in the police force, he still rents in the police apartment assigned to him by the Metropolitan Police Department.

Even after learning that his father had been transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department and bought a high-end apartment nearby, he still lived in a simple police apartment, even though Kenjiro Sanada specially gave him a key to the apartment.

Today is his second visit to this simply decorated but very stylish house.

Seeing his father come in, Masahiko Sanada stood up and planned to take the gift box from Kenjiro Sanada's hand. He knew that today was the first day that his father officially took office as the head of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department. The gift in his hand was presumably a congratulatory gift after socializing.

However, the moment he took the gift box, Masahiko Sanada was so keen that he noticed something was wrong with his father's right hand. He quickly took his hand and observed it, and then looked up at the calm Kenjiro Sanada:

"what happened?"

"I accidentally got burned by a hot stove. I'll just apply some medicine later and it'll be fine."

Kenjiro Sanada felt the tiny sting coming from his fingertips, but he covered it up without haste on his face.

The phosphorus fire at that time burned too fast. Even though Kenjiro Sanada reacted quickly, his fingers were still blistered by the hot tongue of flames.

Sanada Masahiko agreed on the face, but he didn't really believe this reason in his heart.

This wound doesn't look like it was caused by a burn, but rather like it was caused by a burn.

Afterwards, he stopped asking any more questions and felt the weight of the light box. Suddenly, Sanada Masahiko noticed the Karasuma family emblem printed on the corner of the gift box, and he subconsciously opened the box.

What caught his eye was a bouquet of paper cherry blossoms that looked familiar to him.

He subconsciously wanted to reach out for it, but was stopped by Sanada Kenjiro.

Masahiko Sanada was stunned for a moment, and then he smelled a faint smell of bitter garlic from the box. He suddenly realized something and asked:

"Were the burns on your hands caused by phosphorus fire?"

Moreover, you are not going to attend the entertainment of senior officials of the Metropolitan Police tonight, but to meet your eldest brother.

Kenjiro Sanada did not respond, but Masahiko Sanada had confirmed the mastermind who caused all this to happen. He was a little unbelievable:

"Impossible, it's impossible for eldest brother to do such a thing. Someone must be framing eldest brother."

Masahiko Sanada's words seemed to be explaining to his father Kenjiro Sanada, but also seemed to be convincing himself immediately.

He was holding the box in his hand, which was obviously as light as a feather, but it seemed that he couldn't bear the tremendous force behind the box, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Sanada Kenjiro patted his son on the shoulder, then hung his coat on the coat rack on the side, walked to the wine cabinet in the living room, took out a bottle of whiskey, and then took out two ordinary glasses from the side.

"Let's have a drink. It seems that our father and son have never sat down and drank a glass of wine like this."

Putting the wine and cups on the wooden coffee table, Kenjiro Sanada went to the kitchen refrigerator and took out a box of frozen ice cubes, while asking his son to sit down, as if he didn't see Masahiko Sanada's emotional breakdown.

Hearing this, Masahiko Sanada seemed to be unable to bear the weight of the box anymore. He hurriedly put the gift box aside, and then sat down stiffly.

Even though he had had bad expectations for his eldest brother, he still refused to believe that the eldest brother he once regarded as the object of his lifelong pursuit would do such a thing to his father.

An act with obvious malice.

Kenjiro Sanada opened the wine, poured ice, and wine as usual. Then he filled the glass to seven minutes and pushed it in front of Masahiko Sanada. His movements were so smooth that they were not affected by the wounds on his fingers.

At this moment, Sanada Masahiko has calmed down.

He picked up the wine glass and took a full sip. When the cold wine flowed into his stomach, the wine glass made a crisp impact with the wooden coffee table. Sanada Masahiko raised his eyes to look at his calm father and asked:

"The person you are meeting tonight is my eldest brother, right?"

"Tonight I am meeting the young master of the Karasuma family, Karasuma Sonobu."

"That paper cherry blossom bouquet was given by my eldest brother, right?"

"Master Karasuma sent me a thank you gift to thank me for rescuing him in the Sky Shopping Plaza."

"Your injuries were probably caused by the phosphorus fire."

"The environment in the tea room is quiet, I accidentally got it."

……

……

While the father and son were asking and answering questions, Sanada Masahiko drank most of the bottle of whiskey.

Sanada Masahiko, who was already half-drunk in his eyes, took the bottle and poured himself another glass. Sanada Kenjiro did not stop him, but instead added a few more pieces of ice to his glass.

It's like everything is completely reversed.

When he met Karasuma Sonobu, Karasuma Sonobu didn't take a sip of the tea in his tea cup, but Sanada Kenjiro tasted it carefully.

If he hadn't often stroked the cup of hot tea, causing the temperature of his fingertips to be heated up by the hot tea, perhaps the phosphorus fire wouldn't have been ignited.

During the drink with his son Masahiko Sanada, Masahiko Sanada asked for a sip. As for Kenjiro Sanada himself, he didn't even pick up the wine in front of him, let alone drink it.

Masahiko Sanada looked at his father, whose expression had not changed at all, and finally took advantage of his drunkenness to ask the question that he had been avoiding but had always been engraved in the depths of his mind:

"Brother, is he...will he never come back?"

Sanada Kenjiro did not answer. He just reached out and touched his son's hair, then withdrew his hand, leaving only one sentence:

"Go to bed early. You know where the room is. I have to go to work tomorrow."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the room.

"Why is there no recruitment information for Big Brother in the police academy? Why is Big Brother's photo information completely wiped out? Why can't I find him no matter how I look for him?

Father, brother, is he unwilling to go home, or...can't go home? "

Masahiko Sanada looked up at the back of his father Kenjiro Sanada walking towards the room, and asked softly, as if he wanted an answer, but his voice was so low that he seemed to be asking himself.

He desperately wanted an answer and wanted to know the real reason why his eldest brother ran away from home.

As for why he asked this question, perhaps it was because he subconsciously hoped that the reason why his eldest brother had not returned home for so many years was because of the latter.

In this way, he has enough reason and belief to believe that his eldest brother has never abandoned him, and he will take his eldest brother home.

Kenjiro Sanada paused, turned around, picked up the gift box that his son had put aside, and then seemed to be answering or admonishing:

"Perhaps after An Xing's death, he has always hated everyone in the family.

With your eldest brother's ability, I won't be surprised by anything he does. He has been the most outstanding child among your brothers since he was a child. He can easily do his best in everything he wants to do. .

I know that you have been searching for the whereabouts of your elder brother, but, Yayan, there has been a full 11 years between you. No matter what, he will no longer be the brother in your memory.

Don't get close, don't pursue, that's the attitude he showed towards me tonight.

This attitude also applies to you. "

Kenjiro Sanada knew that with his son Masahiko Sanada's obsession with finding his eldest brother, no matter how much he warned, the child would still find ways to meet Karasuma Sonobu.

However, no one knows better than him the meaning behind the name Karasuma Sonobu.

No one knew the child's hatred for him better than him.

Because, just eleven years ago, it was Kenjiro Sanada who personally sent Getsugamaru, who regarded him as his father, into that dark world.

The so-called disappearance and running away from home, as well as the subsequent destruction of data, are just the aftermath of a transaction that everyone knows very well.

But now, Getsugamaru appeared openly and openly under the identity of Karasuma Sonobu. Naturally, Sanada Kenjiro immediately noticed the close relationship between the Karasuma Consortium and the mysterious organization.

Once Sanada Masahiko foolishly bumped into him, how could Karasuma Sonobu care about the former brotherly love for the son of his enemy.

The child Yue Yawan, perhaps influenced by his family, has been cold-hearted and cold-hearted since he was a child.

Eleven years ago, he might still care about the brotherhood between the two.

But now, there is only one person left that Tsukimomaru, who has been completely silent in the darkness, really cares about.

For Masahiko Sanada, he may let him go when he is happy, but the greater possibility is to bring him harm and pain.

As a result, Kenjiro Sanada and his son Masahiko Sanada revealed a secret from 14 years ago.

He hoped that his stupid son could use this to be wary of Karasuma Sonobu. It would be best to stay away from him and stop trying to get close to him.

"Hate us. Didn't Brother An Xing's death be found out back then...?"

Sanada Masahiko focused on the point he was most concerned about, but as he asked, his voice dropped. He stood up in disbelief, and bumped his legs on the legs of the coffee table, but he didn't care, and just stared in front of him. My father tried to find the certainty in his eyes that he didn't want to believe.

Sanada Kenjiro seemed to recall what happened back then, his expression became a little more serious, and he whispered back:

"If there is really no inside story, your eldest brother did so many things that violated family rules back then, and even went to the police station so many times, why did your grandfather always let it go?

Do you think your grandfather is really the kind of person who dotes on his children regardless of principles? "

Masahiko Sanada was stunned there. He remembered the empty and lifeless look on the tombstone of Brother An Xing when his eldest brother rushed back to the country that year.

Then, the eldest brother he once admired turned into a complete playboy the next day.

The once unruly boy who was so dazzling under the sun seemed to realize the beauty of the game world overnight and became very strange.

Sanada Masahiko always thought that it was the eldest brother's venting after losing a close relative and his passive resistance to an unfair fate. Grandpa and the others did not stop him because they felt sorry for him.

Now it seems that there is something else going on?

However, the case back then had been clearly investigated, and the murderer was imprisoned and received the punishment he deserved.

Could it be that the eldest brother was dissatisfied with the punishment the murderer received was too light, and resented that the family members were obviously capable but did not use their family connections to get the murderer punished severely?

Sanada Masahiko thought back over and over again what happened back then, but he still couldn't understand, even if this was the case, why his eldest brother had to leave for so many years, and he never even came back to see Brother Anxing on the anniversary of his death.

There is also the eldest aunt. The eldest aunt only has two children, the eldest brother and Brother Anxing. How could the eldest brother abandon his mother for so many years without even sending back any news.

Masahiko Sanada, who got the answer from his father, not only failed to solve the doubts in his heart, but fell into more and more mysteries.

Masahiko Sanada, who was deep in thought, did not notice that after Kenjiro Sanada finished speaking, there was something strange in his eyes.

After a while, as the door closed, Masahiko Sanada drank the last sip of wine in the glass.

Feeling the alcohol rising, he seemed to see the figure of his elder brother:

"Brother, I have grown up now. I am no longer the child I was back then. Now I am capable of helping you. So, if you meet your father, please come and meet me too..."

"Brother, do you know? I recognized you from the sniper scope at a glance that day. Although you changed your name and identity, how could I not recognize you..."

"I have always been jealous of Brother An Xing before. Big brother, it would be great if you were my brother..."

Sanada Masahiko talked for a long time under the influence of alcohol, expressing his thoughts about his brother, his concern for him, and his worries over the years through fragmented words bit by bit.

"Brother, don't hate me, please come home with me. We all miss you."

These were the last words Masahiko Sanada said on this drunken night. After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep heavily on the sofa in the living room.

After a while, Sanada Kenjiro, who was still wearing the same clothes as before, opened the door and watched his son half-relying on the sofa, moving into the room that had been reserved for him.

After cleaning up and settling his son, Kenjiro Sanada did not return to his bedroom after leaving the second bedroom. Instead, he came to the living room again. He carefully and methodically began to clean the wine bottles and glasses left in the living room.

After everything was put where it should be, he turned off the light in the living room and walked back to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, a handful of delicate and beautiful paper cherry blossoms were placed in the center of the desk.

Looking at the paper cherry blossom bouquet on the table, Sanada Kenjiro sighed in a low voice:

"Although I have never regretted anything I have done, but, Getsuga Maru, why are you not my son, but my eldest brother's son?"

Through the secret eavesdropping of artificial intelligence, Karasuma Sonobu, who listened to tonight's father-son conversation, did not have the hatred in his eyes that Kenjiro Sanada thought. He just looked at the cherry blossom forest outside the window and said something calmly and quietly. :

"Fortunately, I'm not your son."
