Chapter 52 Section VII

Coming out of the boarding hotel, Noriko went straight to Numata Yoshinari's home. Numata's house is several hundred ping in size, surrounded by high walls. She carefully inspected a circle along the wall, not daring to jump up easily.Because she learned from Meiji that many families, especially rich and wealthy families, have installed alarm devices on the walls because of "Di No. 1" and her own disturbance in Tokyo. When she walked to the west side of the wall, she found a tree about ten meters away from the wall.She decided to jump from the tree into the fence.Although the distance between the tree and the wall was far, the distance was not a problem for her.

Zezi flew up the tree.From the treetops, she could clearly see the layout inside the fence: about four meters away from the fence, there were two low houses, like dog houses.There is a two-story building with a large area in the north. "Numata's bedroom must be in this house." Zezi thought to himself. Zezi jumped from the treetop to the top of the low house inside the wall. No police dogs or bodyguards came in or out. Apart from the lights in the east room of Numata's house, the other rooms were dark and silent. Ze Zifei got out of the room and approached the two-story building on tiptoe.

She first went to the window of the east room, through the curtain, several people were playing cards.Zezi knew that these were bodyguards.She didn't want to disturb them, so she bypassed the window, jumped onto the balcony on the second floor, and entered the room from the study on the south side. Zezi stood in the dark for a while, listening to the movement around him. The surroundings were quiet, so Zezi walked out of the study and searched for Numata Yoshinari's rooms one by one along the corridor. Zezi stopped at the door of a room, and she vaguely heard someone talking in the room.The speaking voice was very soft and intermittent.She put her ear to the keyhole and listened for a while, only to hear "Miki Inoue" in the female voice.

name.Zezi thought, no matter who it is, as long as she knows the whereabouts of Meiji, she is the one she is looking for. So she took out the wire and inserted it into the keyhole.After a while, the lock was opened.A desk lamp in the room was dimly lit.Under the light, two people, a man and a woman, slept on a bed. After closing the door, Zezi went to the bed and ate and drank in a low voice: "Don't move! Anyone who makes a sound will be killed!" None of the men and women on the bed dared to speak. "I'm a 'Ghost Girl'!" There was a creaking sound from the spring bed.

"Tell me honestly, what is your relationship and what are your names?" "Miss 'Ghost Girl', please spare my life..." "Lower your voice!" "Yes, yes." The male Nono repeated, "My name is Mimoto Yoshihiko, and I'm Numata's housekeeper, and she's my wife Kazuko." "What about Numata?" "He's on a business trip to Kansai." "Heh, I heard you talking about Inoue Miki just now, where is she now?" "Ah, we don't know about that." The man shook his head again and again, but his expression was a bit sly. "We only know that Numata Yoshinari has captured a woman. As for where she is being held, only Numata knows."

"Okay then, tell Numata when he comes back: let Miki go quickly, otherwise, be careful." Miki raised the sharp knife in her hand. "Well, I will definitely do it," the man was eager for Zezi - "Ghost Girl" to leave as soon as possible.After Zezi finished speaking, he turned off the desk lamp, turned around and walked outside. Footsteps sounded from the side of the bed to the door, followed by the sound of opening the door, the footsteps were already outside the door, and then there was a "bang", the door closed, and the surroundings returned to silence.

After about fifteen minutes, the man turned on the lamp, went to the door, put two safety chains on the door, and then checked the windows.Feeling that everything is safe now, he looked up to the sky and laughed. The woman sat up puzzled and asked, "What's so funny?" "I laughed at the famous 'ghost girl', but she was just a bratty girl. I, Numata Yoshinari, sent me away with a few words." As soon as the words fell, Numata only felt a cold air blowing from the back of his head.Looking back, I was stunned with a sound of "Ah!" The "ghost girl" appeared before his eyes again.

When Zezi was observing the room just now, he felt that from the furnishings of this room, it didn't look like a servant's bedroom.But the man insisted that he was Numata's housekeeper.Therefore, Zezi set up this trap to deceive the truth. When Numata first saw a woman yelling at the bedside, he didn't know that she was a "ghost girl." It's Miki Inoue.Because the four men who kidnapped Meiji came back and reported to him that they saw Meiji and the "ghost girl" Walking together, they were obstructed and pursued by the "ghost girl".So Numata immediately came up with a nonsense to deceive Nokiko.

For Numata, he will try his best to keep Miki in check.Because the value of Meiji is already equivalent to his company.Once Meiji is rescued by the "ghost girl", it is undoubtedly declaring the company's bankruptcy. But the current situation is different, the "ghost girl" holds a knife in her hand, her face is terribly gloomy. Numata decided to tell the truth. Compared with life, the company is only in a secondary position after all. "Miki is locked in the basement of the Hakone resort." "lie!" "Don't dare." "I'm sorry you don't dare to lie. Come with me now!"

"Where are you going?" Numata turned pale. "Go and release Miki to me!" "Oh, no. Although I know where Miki Inoue is being held, I have no right to order the bodyguards who are holding her. They are under the direct command of my backstage boss." "Hey, that's it!" Zezi thought for a while, "Then, you have to follow me too! As a hostage, let your backstage boss exchange." "..." Numata was speechless, and his small eyes rolled straight. Zezi was worried that when Numata was taken away, Numata's wife's shout would alarm the bodyguards downstairs, so she went over and tied up the frightened Jiajinzi with wire, tore off a sheet, and stuffed it into her mouth. .

Just as Zezi stuffed the sheet into Jinzi's mouth, she heard a sound in the back of her head.Turning around, I saw Numata throwing a stool towards him.She quickly dodges. Numata was throwing the stool down with all his strength, but he never expected that Noriko's dodge was so quick, he couldn't hold back for a while, and the stool fell straight on Kazuko's forehead.Jiajinzi let out a "huh", his head exploded, and his brains and blood splashed everywhere. At the same time, the sharp knife in Zezi's hand was also sent into Numata's chest. Zezi restarted the killing ring! There was an exclamation outside the door—like a woman's voice, and then I heard the footsteps of a person fleeing towards the stairs. Zezi doesn't care about this, her first task now is to rescue Meiji immediately.
