Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

Dongju and Hengdu resolutely decided to test Yasugi Kyoko directly.It is not wise to go directly to the suspect when there is insufficient evidence, because it may scare the enemy. However, for now, Yasugi Kyoko has not been included in the ranks of suspects.Dongju and the others were going to test her directly, but they only used it as a means of finding clues.Yasugi Kyoko is a popular figure in the news circle, and she can't tell when she will be at home. In order to catch her off guard, this kind of temptation is more effective than a sudden attack. Yasugi Kyoko has a role on an "early morning show" on a private TV station, where Toi and Yoko decide to "ambush" her.

When she finished the show and came out of the studio, Dongju stopped her in time. "It's Ms. Yasugi Kyoko, right?" "Yes, I am." Yasugi Kyoko greeted Touju with the kind of smiling face typical of journalists, but there was a look of cold scrutiny at the other party in the depths of her eyes. "I have something to talk to you about, and it won't take up much time." Dongju said in an involuntary tone. "Well, you are..." The charming smile that Kyoko put on her face just now disappeared immediately, and her expression became tense instead.

"We are the police." Dongju waved the police card at her.He didn't like to use this method at first, but it is more effective when the other party is busy with work or domineering. "Oh, the police? What do you want me for?" Yasugi Kyoko showed an uneasy expression on her face. "No, it's nothing serious, I just want to know something about your son." As long as Morito's confession is true, Yasugi Kyoko will not be indifferent to Toju's words.With no other excuses, Dongju had no choice but to use Morito's appeal as a breakthrough point of attack.Yasugi Kyoko stopped in her tracks.

"Gongping has gone overseas now." The alert look on Yasugi Kyoko's face was replaced by a skeptical look. It's really hard to tell whether this is her acting skills or her natural expression. "It's okay, just ask you." "I'm busy, but if it's ten minutes..." Yasugi Kyoko couldn't refuse Tojuna's mandatory request, so she had to lead them to a corner of the TV station's internal restaurant.It's like a cafeteria, which is perfect for their conversation. "So, what's the matter with you?" Yasugi Kyoko said after sitting down opposite them, and then glanced at her watch.This is probably to remind the other party that it is only ten minutes, and there is no way to spare another minute.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Does Madam know the place 'Wuji'?" Dongju felt that this sentence contained all the meaning, so he stared closely at the other person's expression. "Fog accumulation?" Kyoko Yasugi blurted out a reply, but there was no abnormal change on her face. "A hot spring located in Gunma Prefecture, has Madam ever been there?" "No, this is the first time I've heard of this place name, which side of Gunma County is it?" Yasugi Kyoko has a natural expression, and it can't be seen that she is trying to restrain her feelings. This may also be that, as a very popular critic on family issues, she is already good at posturing.

"Enter from Yokogawa in front of Karuizawa, which is near the border with Nagano Prefecture." "I don't know at all. What's the matter?" "Did you not go there in July 1949?" "It's the first time I've even heard the name, how could I have been there?" Yasugi Kyoko looked dismissive. "If I'm not mistaken, my wife grew up in Yao Town, Toyama Prefecture." Touju changed the subject slightly. "I remember it so clearly." "I saw it in an essay you wrote. However, there is a waitress named Zhongshanzhong in Wuzu, who also grew up in Yao. Does Madam know her?"

"How could I know her! As I said just now, I don't know! I have never been to a place I have never heard of, no matter who is there, it has nothing to do with me." Yasugi Kyoko seemed a little excited, but maybe this was because she thought it was counter-natural to do so, so she deliberately did it for others to see. "I still have an appointment, goodbye!" Yasugi Kyoko was about to stand up from her seat as if she couldn't continue talking with such a boring opponent.Dongju couldn't think of any excuse to stop her from leaving. "lady!" Crossing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"You know that 'straw hat poem'?" "Straw hat poem?" Yasugi Kyoko cast a puzzled look at Hengdu. "Mom, what happened to my straw hat now? The straw straw hat that fell in the valley on the road from Subing to Wuzhu that summer!" Crossing began to chant Saijo Yasuo's poem.Yasugi Kyoko's face changed immediately, just halfway up, she bowed and froze there, staring at Yotsuwa's face with wide eyes, as if she was staring at some unbelievable object. However, that was only a moment, and she immediately recovered her well-trained professional expression.

"I don't know what kind of poem this is. Excuse me." She threw down such a sentence, bowed her head in a salute, and left straight away.After Yasugi Kyoko left, Dongju and Hengdu were still sitting there blankly, staring aimlessly at the direction she left.It took a while for the two of them to come back to their senses. "Dongju, did you see that?" "Saw." They both looked at each other and nodded. "That's right, Yasugi Kyoko responded to that poem." "That's enough. It seems Yasugi Kyoko does know this straw hat poem." "Clearly know but say you don't know."

"The place name of Wuji appears in the poem, which proves that she knows Wuji's place." "Why is she hiding the fact?" "It's really suspicious." "It's not just these things that are suspicious. At first you said that you wanted to know something about her son, but she didn't ask what it was at all. It's not that she forgot, but that she was too focused on the matter of Wuji. On the main issue, she didn't have time to think about that issue at all. From a reasonable point of view, the police came for her son's matter, and if it was an ordinary mother, her attention should be focused on this point."

"Well, according to what you said, I remembered that Yasugi Kyoko was about to get up and leave before you recited the straw hat poem." "The criminal police came here for her son's affairs, but the mother would leave without asking. This is very abnormal." "It can be understood that she wanted to run away from us." "Yes, she did want to escape. No, she has already escaped." After following the intermittent clues, they now seemed to feel that they were finally getting close to the real target. However, no arrows for that target have yet been obtained. Crossing and Dongju brought Yasugi Kyoko as an important suspect at the search meeting. "So, in your opinion, Yasugi Kyoko is involved in the murder of Johnny and the old lady Nakayama." Nasu said with narrowed eyes. "We thought she was suspicious." "If Yasugi Kyoko is regarded as a murderer, what is her motive?" This was, of course, what they both expected. "We believe that she killed Zhongshanzhong because the old lady knew what happened to Johnny's murder." "Well, to silence. But why did she kill Johnny? There doesn't seem to be any connection between Johnny and Yasugi Kyoko..." "This is exactly the issue that needs to be investigated carefully. Maybe there is an unknown secret relationship. But..." Dongju hesitated to speak. "But, but what?" "The postcard written by Nakayama to Omuro Yoshino said that in July 1949, she met a Mr. X who grew up in Yao in Kirizumi." "Do you think that Mr. X is Yasugi Kyoko?" "It can't be determined yet. Kirizumi is not a very famous mountain hot spring, and there won't be too many people going there. If you limit it to people who grew up in Yao, then the scope can be greatly narrowed." "therefore……" "We can assume that Mrs. X is Yasugi Kyoko, because she tried her best to conceal the fact that she had been to Wuzu at that time." "Why is she hiding the fact?" "Based on the content of Zhongshanzhong's text on the postcard. It can be seen that Mrs. X seemed to have a companion at that time. Therefore, did she go because she wanted to hide that fellow?" "The person traveling with her is not Jun Yangping. If Mrs. X is Yasugi Kyoko, she would definitely not want her husband Jun Yangping to know about it." "yes." "However, that was a long time ago. She wouldn't kill an old woman because of this old thing." "About that fellow traveler—although it is not certain that he is a fellow traveler at the moment—Zhong Shanzhong wrote that he is a very rare and rare visitor. After all, could he be a foreigner?" "A foreigner, you say? But what does that have to do with Johnny Howard? Johnny wasn't even born in 1949." "The key to unlocking this secret lies in this poem by Yasuo Saijo." Dongju unhurriedly took out the copy of "Straw Hat Poetry", and everyone turned their attention to Dongju. As soon as Morito was "released", he went to report to his client Shinmi. "It's bad luck this time," Xinjian said. "It's really useless." Morito said embarrassedly, scratching his head. "The police pressed me desperately to tell me who ordered me to pretend to be such a thief, but I kept my mouth shut and did not reveal your name, Minister." "Actually, it's not a big deal to say my name. It is said that the police went to Oyamada to check, and his answer was exactly the same." "At that time, I was desperately taking pictures, but I was caught coldly. Anyway, fortunately, the evidence was caught. There were indeed marks left by the collision on the car." "However, those photos have been confiscated." "Before arresting me, I was worried that they would confiscate the film I shot, so I was more careful and hid the first film I shot in advance." "What? You brought the film back?" "This is called shooting right. There was a roll of film in the camera, and there were only a few pictures left. Of course, the filming was finished soon. I hid the roll and brought it with me. The police didn't seem to expect that two rolls would be shot, so they only took the film. The roll in the camera is confiscated." "Let me see!" "There are already washed ones here, and I brought them here." Morito handed him several negatives and developed and enlarged six-inch photos, with a very smug expression on his face. Xinjian looked at each photo carefully. "How's it going?" Morito asked, guessing that he had already finished reading. "There is indeed a dent in the car body." "That's right, this is the most powerful evidence that someone ran away." "Can this be evidence?" "You mean?" Morito thought that he had made great achievements with great difficulty, and hoped that Shinkami would give him a big compliment, but who knew he would say that, so he was full of dissatisfaction. "The dent on the car body is not limited to being caused by a collision. It cannot be infallible evidence." "However, it took a lot of effort just to take that photo." "You did a great job, and I'm not going to make it harder for you." Shinmi said for the first time in a consoling manner.That expression means, don't worry, you will definitely be rewarded accordingly.Only then did Morito feel that the risk was not in vain. After Xinjian sent Morito away, he went to see Oyamada. "The one who crushed your wife can be roughly concluded to be Jun Gongping." "Then go to the police right away." Oyamada immediately stood up bravely. "That can't be done!" Xinjian explained his reasons. "We still don't have any evidence to link the damage on Jun Gongping's car with the stains on Bu Gou Xiong's body. Let's just say that this photo was obtained through illegal means. Once the validity of the evidence is denied, it cannot be obtained. Use it in court." "Having obtained so many suspicious materials, why didn't the police do anything? Check Gongping's car thoroughly. If Wen Zhi's hair or blood stains can be found, wouldn't that constitute indisputable evidence?" "It's not that simple. It's not clear whether the run-and-run is a fact, it's just our opinion. If there is no definite suspicion, we can't just check private vehicles, not to mention Gongping's father is a powerful figure in the political circle, the police are even more concerned. Be careful." "There is evidence, and the 'bear' is the evidence." "Whether that cloth dog belongs to Gongping or not has not been confirmed yet." Oyamada was lost in thought. ——Ah, is this the only way we can do our own investigation! ?Anyway, we've done a great job.Without Xinjian's great help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today.However, I have already reached this point, but I am so helpless, so heartwarming. "Xinjian, is there no other way? I also think that the one who crushed my wife must be Jun Gongping. It has come to this point, so it is a pity to let it go." "I feel sorry, too, just like you. However, the police cannot be called at this stage. Morito's secret weapon is also inconvenient to use again." The two looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling very sorry.Thinking about it carefully, the cooperation between the two of them is really wonderful.One is the victim whose wife was stolen, and the other is the perpetrator of the stolen wife. The two are jointly tracking the same woman.However, they don't feel how wonderful this is now.His beloved woman was not only killed, but also concealed. The extreme anger and hatred towards the murderer made the two forget the starting point of their union. "By the way, there is another way." Xinjian raised his head and said. "Is there any other way?" Koyamada stared at Shinmi as if he had grasped at straws. "Go directly to Jun Gong and talk casually." "Looking for Jun Gonghei? But he is in New York now." "New York, it's just a short flight away, there are flights every day." "But……" From Oyamada's point of view, even though he can get there quickly by plane, he always feels a sense of distance. "He is now traveling overseas, which may be a good opportunity for us. In a foreign country, if you suddenly throw that 'bear' in front of him for questioning, maybe he will confess immediately." "That's what I said, but I really can't catch up to the United States." For Oyamada, he has neither the confidence nor the capital to go there alone to track down the murderer in a foreign land where he can't tell the difference between the southeast and the north. "If Mr. Oyamada will let me go, I can go." "you?" "I have been to the United States several times. I have acquaintances in New York, and our branch office is also there. With a Saturday and a day or two of rest, we can run back and forth." "Mr. Xinjian, do you really think so?" "Can this be a joke?" "Oh, it's hard for you to care about my wife so much." "I feel it's my responsibility." Needless to say, Xin Jian's proactiveness was not entirely due to responsibility, but for other reasons, but this could not be said to her husband. "When Gongping will come back, we don't know. Therefore, instead of waiting for him like this, we might as well go to him. If we go, it's better to go sooner rather than later. And if Gongping is innocent, if we want to find supplementary evidence from the car, You also need to move quickly." "As a husband, I can't do anything." Oyamada's words were full of self-deprecating tone.In fact, he was lamenting that as a husband, he was useless and incompetent. "It depends on where you said, I am willing to take it, because I happen to be familiar with the place, and I am prepared. I have a passport that has been used many times, and the epidemic prevention certificate is also within the validity period. Now if you go to go abroad, you have to ask Two weeks. Don't worry about it." Shinmi said as if to comfort Oyamada. After Gongping and the others arrived in New York, they immediately felt bored.Some in New York, almost all in Tokyo.Compared with Tokyo, although the streets and cityscapes are quite different, the appearance of the huge mechanical civilization that has developed to the limit is exactly the same as Tokyo. The functionalization of the city, the huge gap between the most noble and the lowest, the distrust among people, the heavy traffic, overpopulation, public nuisance, frills, decadence, these things in Tokyo make people feel like It's like moving to New York forever. Gong Ping soon got tired of all kinds of things called "the world's first".Once he got used to the towering skyscrapers, he didn't think much of it, and art and art had nothing to do with him.He is most interested in the porn shops and porn theaters around New York's Times Square, but his partner Asoe Michiko doesn't like these. In Tokyo, the city is full of lively and bustling places, while in New York, the downtown area is all concentrated in Manhattan, which seems too small.It seems that the playgrounds are also organically and efficiently concentrated in one place, and the lack of changes in places makes people feel like they are always playing in one place. If they search around, they may be able to find a good place that ordinary people don't recognize that they are interested in, but they are not familiar with the place, so they dare not rush in easily.Coupled with the language barrier, their freedom of movement is further restricted, so they have to play in famous and safe places. "Oh, I never thought New York could be such a boring place!" Jun Gongping suddenly lay on his back on the bed in the hotel, yawning loudly.He was tired of going to Fifth Street and Broadway.Even when he woke up in the morning, he felt that he had nowhere to go, but he still had a lot of money on him.Locking yourself in a restaurant all day long, and indulging in sex between men and women has a limit. Within three days, even the face of the other party will make you bored.This is not to say that the other party has become annoying, but just like the prisoner in the same room, the other party's face looks like it has become moldy.Now they are looking for freshness to the point of hunger and thirst, as long as it is fresh, no matter what.In their eyes, New York is like a huge freight yard made of steel and concrete, which has become a prison to imprison them. The layout of New York is entirely geometric, everything is made of straight lines and sharp angles.The streets are neat and tidy like a checkerboard grid. The boulevards run straight from the north to the south, and the city streets run from east to west. Almost all the roads are numbered. In principle, the lot area is incremented every 100 house numbers.In the same block, there are even numbers on the south side and odd numbers on the north side.These have to make Gongping think of the number of the prison house and the number of the prisoners. New York is like a huge prison. Kyohei began to miss Tokyo, just like Setagaya and Suginami, the streets of Tokyo are as intricate as a maze, and as long as the house number is wrong, the difference will be very different.He missed it there, and missed those friends who often gathered in Kichijoji and the teahouses in Shinjuku.The dullness in New York is probably also due to the lack of friends. "So, didn't I tell you, it's better to go somewhere else. The United States is big, and you can also go to Europe. Why do you have to suffocate in New York?" Lu Zi held back his yawn and said.She also had a disinterested expression. "It's boring to go anywhere. I'm tired of those big noses and western food, and I want to go back to Japan." "Didn't you just come out? If you really want to go back, you will be haunted by nightmares again. You will be chased by people all day long." "I'm not afraid of being entangled, I want to go back to Japan." Gongping really couldn't bear it, and his face was unhappy.Now, as long as he takes a step out of the hotel room, he will encounter a language barrier. The little English he learned in school is useless, and he is not good at foreign languages. Because of the language barrier, I couldn't express what I wanted to say, and I was always flustered.Originally, big cities generally recognize rich people, but this is not the case here in New York. Here, as long as you have money, you can get what you want, but these are like buying things with an unmanned vending machine, and they have no taste at all.Not once have I been treated as a "customer" when I've been here in Tokyo.Even when entering first-class clubs, restaurants, and theaters, they are timid, even afraid of being despised as "yellow monkeys" by servants and waitresses. In fact, people of color in New York are discriminated against by white people.For the same money, the good seats are often taken by white people, and the hospitality is their priority, which cannot be protested.There is absolutely no such thing in Tokyo. As long as the staff makes a slight mistake, the boss can be called to apologize. However, the daimyo of "Gun Hinata and Yasugi Kyoko who are well-known in Japan" does not work at all here in New York.I am clearly a customer, but in turn I have to be respectful to the staff.This kind of pressure is like rushing to the heart, and it has reached the point where it is unbearable.However, staying in a place where white people have power may not eliminate this pressure. Therefore, Kyohei knows very well that, except for going back to Japan, no matter where he goes, he is "boring". Taking a step back, as long as you lock yourself in a hotel room, even if you have nothing to do but make love, at least you don't have to worry about it, and the language is enough in Japanese. Gongping is different from ordinary people. He does not have the exuberant curiosity that is unique to young people. No matter what he sees, he feels the same. Even if he comes into contact with first-class art or fine arts, he has never been moved or fascinated by it.In the process of growing up in an environment with extreme material and spiritual imbalance, his ability to feel has long been damaged. On this point, his partner Asao Zhiluzi is similar.The only difference is that she doesn't have Gongping's aura of "famous parents", so she is somewhat more patient than him. "Anyway, it's meaningless to stay here and be bored, let's go somewhere." Lu Zi advised Gongping.Being locked up in this kind of hotel room with no sunlight and closed windows makes people feel moldy in the depths of their hearts. "Let's go, where are you going?" "This can be decided after we go out." "Is there any good place to go?" "But I can't bear to be here all day." "Then come here, we can sleep again." "Have had enough sleep." "This morning, we haven't played yet!" "Tired of playing! From yesterday until this morning, we have been...hating!?" "It's okay to come a few more times." "I'm not in the mood." "Then go out by yourself." "If I let the hooligans drag me into the alley, it doesn't matter if my whereabouts are unknown?" "OK OK." After the two quarreled for a while, they finally got up lazily and walked aimlessly towards the streets of New York. Xin Jian immediately took action.There are daily flights between Tokyo and New York. At 10:00 am on Friday, Niimi boarded the JAL flight via Anchorage and embarked on a journey to New York.It takes 7 hours to get to Anchorage, where the plane stays for about 1.5 hours for refueling and airframe inspection, and then it takes another 6 hours to fly to New York. Due to the 14-hour time difference between Tokyo and New York, I arrived in New York around 11 am on the same day. Morito has grasped the whereabouts of Jun Gongping.I managed to find out the hotel that Gongping had booked from the travel agency that arranged for Gongping to travel overseas, and then immediately made an international phone call to find out that although he had been there for more than two weeks, he was still staying at that hotel. It was precisely for this reason that Xinjian acted in a hurry.Once Gongping checks out of the hotel, it will be difficult for private individuals to track his activities.If you go now, maybe you can catch him in New York.So Xinjian hurriedly boarded the direct flight to New York. It's easy to fool the company, but it's not so easy to fool your own wife.To go abroad to find the whereabouts of the mistress who has been hiding from his wife is impossible to say directly.Since Xinjian was busy in the company all day long, his wife didn't doubt that he suddenly wanted to go abroad, but the problem was that she was afraid that if she went to the company to ask, it would be exposed.Just in case, he lied about gathering intelligence and said that only a few people in the company knew about it. At this time, the nature of his occupation really helped him a lot. On the plane to New York, Xin Jian was also surprised by his extraordinary and persistent actions.No matter how close they are, the two are in an endless love. I never intend to sacrifice my family and wife for her, and the other party has reasons why he cannot abandon her husband. For the two of them, this is the first "real love" in their lives, but it can only be a secret affair. Especially Xinjian, who has nothing to lose in his extramarital affair with Fumie Oyamada.Just stealing someone's wife, greedily enjoying a mature and plump body. His action may be for redemption.If this is the case, Xinjian has done a great thing that is not in line with his personality. He has always been careful and careful when dealing with situations, so this is an action that is very contradictory to his personality. In short, although this matter is an extramarital affair, it is an "adult love" that both parties understand. It is nothing more than satisfying each other's desires, and the other party is a waitress who sells her looks for a living.The husband must have been fully aware of the danger when he sent his wife to such a place. Xinjian traveled thousands of miles to the United States this time to find Wenzhi's whereabouts, not at the request of her husband, but on her own initiative.His trip this time was full of danger no matter from which point of view. If his wife found out the purpose of the trip, the family would inevitably be turned upside down and lose the trust of the president.In short, there is no benefit in doing so. Nevertheless, he still flew to the United States by some strange circumstances.As for why he did this, even he himself couldn't explain it clearly.However, he felt that the present action was the most true to himself. Xinjian was born in an upper-middle-class family. Ever since he was pushed on the "road to success", he has been living a life that seems to have lost himself. He has always been the hope of the whole family and the sustenance of his parents.He was very upbeat and successfully embarked on the road of success from a first-class school to a first-class enterprise, and was appreciated by the top management of the enterprise.Therefore, everyone placed high hopes on him. Thinking about it carefully, Xinjian seems to have been living under people's expectations so far, and has worked hard to live up to this expectation, and he probably will not live up to this hope in the future. This kind of life is actually not your own life, what you are following is just the life path set by others.In order to fulfill someone's expectations, he embarked on the road to being famous, but what is at the end of that road?For these, I never even thought about it.Just always believe that this is your own life. However, Fumie Koyamada shook his belief.He didn't have the will to die for falling in love with her. In fact, he had too many burdens in life to dedicate himself to love. However, when he was with Wenzhi, he felt a joy that shook his body and mind, but once he was separated, he felt an infinite emptiness. This feeling made him fascinated, making him not like a person who is over forty and well-versed in the world. In the past, he lived for others, but only this time, for the first time, he felt as if he was living for himself.Although it looks like a love that has been carefully calculated and wise, it is so serious.Maybe this kind of love will never happen again.If you only inhale the sweetness of this kind of love, you may be safe, but if you don't sink deeply, you will never be able to brew the honey of love. In short, it was Koyamada Fumie who gave Xinjian a taste of the ups and downs of love. Although it was limited to a certain frame, it taught him to taste the joy of being faithful to his own life. She suddenly disappeared, and he wanted to find her whereabouts within all ranges within his power.This makes people feel that the enthusiasm and persistence that Oyamada should have seems to have all been transferred to Shinmi now. At around 10:30 in the morning, the flight arrived over New York City, but JFK Airport was very chaotic and was ordered to hold in the air for 30 minutes.The plane hovered in the sky, the smoke passed the windows, and the skyscrapers below appeared and disappeared in the smoke, almost like the skeleton of a huge city, which was poisoned by the poison of machine civilization and was dying.The sea water was also polluted to the point of blackening.It was like looking at Tokyo Bay and the soot-shrouded Keihin industrial area from the sky. When it was finally time to land, the plane began to descend.Although the plane waited in the air for a long time, it landed immediately once it began to descend. The immigration formalities had been completed in Anchorage, and there was no checked luggage. Xinjian got off the plane briskly and left the airport, and immediately took a taxi waiting in front of the airport building to go to the city. You must first go to the hotel where Jun Gongping lives to confirm whether they are still living there, and then decide on the following combat plan.Xinjian didn't have more time, he had to subdue Jun Gongping within a day or two. After Gongping and Luzi wandered aimlessly in the bustling downtown area for a long time, they returned to the hotel.They hadn't walked much, but they were exhausted.In fact, they had nothing to do when they returned to the hotel. When I returned to the room, I found that it was still the same as when I went out, and the room was still not tidied up. "These bastards are really bullying!" Gongping was immediately angry, but he couldn't pick up the phone and get angry, because his English was already very bad, and he couldn't speak it when he got angry. "Oh, look, there seems to be a message." Lu Zi pointed to the phone on the bedside table and said.The red light on the phone is blinking, it is the message indicator light, telling the customer that there is a message at the service desk below. When they went out these days, because they were too lazy to hand over the keys to the service desk one after another, they put them in their pockets and went out.Therefore, they seldom go to the service desk, and the messages are left there. "Strange, there should be no acquaintances here in New York." Lu Zi tilted his head and began to think. "Probably urging us to pay the bill." "No, there should be quite a lot of deposits for the accommodation in advance." "So someone is here?" "I don't know. Don't you have any idea?" "No, did some friend come from Tokyo?" "Did you tell anyone about our being here?" "No." "Then it's impossible for anyone to come." "Then go ask." "Me? I don't want to go! I'm afraid." "Don't say that please, please, your English is better than mine, and those guys are more polite to women." "I really can't do anything about you, well, you are the master, so I'll go there for you." After Gongping arrived in New York, he completely changed himself and became a coward who hesitated before and after.Due to the language barrier, he tried not to speak as much as possible, and tried not to do things that needed to be expressed in more complicated language.Like eating, shopping, etc., all go to self-service restaurants or self-selected shopping malls where no one sells goods.When encountering a situation where it is absolutely necessary to speak, push the way forward. In fact, Luzi's English level is not much better than Gongping's, but she can try to express herself with gestures.And after staying for a few days, she became bolder and calmer, which may be due to women's ability to adapt to the environment. But on the contrary, Gong Ping shrank. He couldn't even tell where he was going when he got in a taxi these days. "I'm almost becoming a 'guide girl'." Luzi said with a wry smile, but she really got the point. She knew that Gongping had nothing to do now, so she had to go and see what the message was. ——Maybe I made a mistake, or the hotel has something to inform the guests. Gongping thought very simply, so he took this opportunity to take a shower. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Luzi just came back.She was pale. "What's the matter? Looking at you like this, it's like meeting a ghost." Gongping said in surprise.Looking at Lu Zi again, she found that her body was shaking slightly. "Ghost, ghost is coming!" "Don't talk nonsense, what's going on, what are you afraid of." Gongping encouraged her. "Look!" Lu Zi handed the things in his arms to his eyes and said.When Gongping saw this thing, his face immediately turned pale. "This, this is..." "Damn it, remember? 'Bear', it's your cloth bear." This is indeed Gongping's patron saint - "Bear".Its whereabouts were unknown after it ran over Fumie Oyamada with its own car.They've been inseparable since childhood, and they're sure to be unmistakable. "Where did you get it?" "It's from the front desk clerk." "Who actually brought it here?" "I don't know. About an hour ago, a Japanese man came and told me to give this to you, so I left it there." "Did you really say it was for me? You didn't make a mistake." "What are you talking about? This is clearly your 'bear'. If you don't give it to you, will you give it to someone else?" "What is the Japanese man like? Do you know how old he is? What are his characteristics?" "The waiter couldn't remember. That's right. It's impossible for such a big hotel to remember a specific guest. Even if it wasn't, I heard that Japanese people look the same to Americans. " "Then who is it, and why did you bring it?" "How would I know?" "Luzi, what should I do?" "You ask me, I don't know either." "Luzi, I'm so scared, someone must have caught up from Japan." Lu Zi's shivering has now also infected Gong Ping, who is overwhelmed with fright. "Gongping, don't be so worthless, even if someone sends 'Bear', what will they do to us!" "No, it must be that good people don't come, and those who come are not good. This person must be a witness to the accident scene, and he picked up the bear near the scene and used it to scare me." “恭平，你这人真怪！这儿是纽约呀，你不想想，难道还会有人特意地飞越太平洋千里迢迢来恐吓吗？就算是这样，'狗熊'也不一定就是掉在事故现场，说不定还是掉在与事故完全无关的地方呢？” “不，一定是掉在那儿了，而且肯定被谁看见了。这下我完了，怎么办？” 恭平害怕得不知所措，全身发抖，生怕那追踪者拎着手铐踏进房间里来。 “不管怎么说，这里是不能呆了。” “不能呆了？到哪儿去呢？” “无论哪儿都行，赶快逃出纽约。” “别那么疑神疑鬼了，等弄清了送东西的人是谁再说吧！” “那就晚啦，你不走，我可就一个人走啦。” “你一个人能上哪儿去？” “那求求你啦，和我一起走吧，别抛下我一个人不管。” 这回他死死缠住她苦苦哀求起来。 “事到如今，也只好同生死，共命运了，不论到哪儿，我都和你一起去。”路子怄着气说道。 他们就像大祸临头似地慌慌张张收拾着行李，准备结账后逃走。即使在这时，恭平仍不愿将那“狗熊”扔掉，担心把它留下会引起麻烦。 打点行装后，他们就到服务台去结账，说要走了。出纳员将房间号码键入计算机，计算着住宿费用。就在恭平正等计算结果的时候，有人在后面轻轻地拍了拍他的肩膀。 一位中年日本男人站在他身后，目光锐利，身体结实。 “急急忙忙的，要到哪儿去啊？” 日本男人带着一种胸音很重的口气问道，眼睛紧紧地盯着恭平和路子的一举一动。 “你，你是……什么人？”恭平结结巴巴地反问道。 “我叫新见。” “我不认识你。” “我可认识你呀。” “有什么事儿？我很忙，马上……”说到这儿，恭平意识到自己尚未定下来要去的地方。 “打算从这儿到哪儿去呀？”新见抢先一步问道。 “去哪儿不用你管！” “何必这么激动，我只不过是随便问问。” “我讨厌不认识的人问我。” “我不是说了么，我认识你，而且给你带来了你心爱之物，还中意吧。”新见扫视着他们身边的行李，看一看那布狗熊是否装在里面。 “将那玩艺儿拿来的原来是你啊！你到底想搞什么鬼？” “搞什么鬼，你比谁都应该清楚的。” "you you……" “那熊是你的吧。” "no!" “我可是在你们隔壁房间里一直听着哪，墙壁很薄，听得很清楚。你们的对话已经用录音机录下来了。美国的饭店可真方便哪，给点儿小费就能到想去的房间。你隔壁的房间空着，真是你的不幸啊。” "asshole!……" “郡恭平，你不要抵赖了，我掌握了你的全部罪证。” 新见本来和蔼的语调里突然显出了威严。
