Chapter 3 Fossil Street Chapter 3

The next day was Sunday, and my wife was still in fear of yesterday, and she thought it would be dangerous for me to go out alone, so she insisted on going out with me.Fortunately, our husband and wife have no children, and we are very free to go out. Where are you going?Usually couples rarely go out together, and now they can't remember where they are going.In the end we decided to go somewhere for a meal or a movie. We finished our breakfast in Yurakucho, and because the weather was rarely sunny, we didn't want to get into the dark movie theater so soon. My wife suggested that we go for a walk in Hibiya Park first.

Walking side by side with my wife by the fountain, I arrived near Exit C4 of Kasumigoseki on the Sendashiro Line in a short while. I immediately thought about treasure hunting, and "C4" was like astronomy, constantly lingering in my mind. "C4, C4..." I murmured this number repeatedly in my mouth, and unconsciously walked in the direction of "Exit C4". I suddenly remembered that when the clown was going to the subway Ginza Station's underground passage, he had first gone up the exit of the Hankyu Department Store.I remember very clearly that the exit was "No. C3".

Then he walked from the intersection of Ginza Fourth Street to the front of Ginza Mitsukoshi Department Store, which is the bronze lion statue... The exit there is "No. A7". Next he went up from the exit of Matsuya.After thinking for a while, I returned to the underground passage, and the exit was "No. A12". Then there is the "C4" exit of Xiazhiguan.Perhaps these numbers represent a code, C-3, A-7, A-12, C-4.What is the meaning behind this? ──If the numbers mean something, what about Shinjuku Mitsukoshi, where the Joker first entered?The first thing he climbed was the "fourth" staircase, and then he stopped at the "first floor", "fifth floor", "seventh floor" and "eighth floor".

Next, he entered the "first floor" of Isetan, then headed towards Ginza, after Ginza and Kasumigoseki, he wandered in Ikebukuro.Finally, the clown went to the "Eleventh Floor" Bookstore of Seibu Department Store. Perhaps it is too much consideration, there is nothing special about listing these numbers.I used to read mystery novels that were often related to numbers, but this time I couldn't see the clues. I walked behind my wife, through the open-air music bar, and before I knew it, I was out of Hibiya Park, waiting for the green light to cross the road.We stood in the corridor of the Iino Building for a while, and my wife asked me where I was going?

"I want to take a look at the underground, okay?" I answer my wife.In front of the entrance of Iino Building is the entrance of the underground passage. I remember that in addition to writing "No. C4", it also says "Exit of Iino Building". I descended the stairs, followed silently by my wife.The walls of this staircase are all made of white, to be precise, gray-green, and slightly transparent marble.I descended the stairs while looking at the rather detailed marble walls.Then I found another person here, who was "treasure hunting". It is a young and beautiful woman.He is a little small, and looks very young at first glance, but if you look closely, he is about thirty-five years old.

I went down the stairs and came to the old shopping street again. I stood in the underground passage and never took my eyes off the woman.The woman stood alone in front of the marble for a long time after climbing the steps, which caught my attention.Because she ignored the curious eyes of passers-by and sobbed there. She was standing upright by the wall, pearly tears kept flowing, and the woman held a handkerchief in her hand and gently wiped away the tears. ※Bandhammer Academy's E-Book※ Soon, the woman went down the underground tunnel in the direction of our couple, passed by me who was pretending to look at the goods, and went in the direction of the underground Chiyoda Line.I chased after him without thinking.

"Acquaintance?" My wife asked me.There is obvious dissatisfaction in the tone. "No! I don't know." I replied to my wife, and I told her to explain to her later. We followed, and the woman entered the ticket gate of the Chiyoda Line, passed the platform of the Chiyoda Line, and walked towards the Marunouchi Line.Is going to Ginza! After leaving the platform of the Marunouchi Line, the woman got on the train bound for Ginza.She had stopped crying and was unaware of our entourage. The wife who was pulling the ring next to me, her dissatisfaction obviously reached the extreme, and asked me to give up this boring follow-up and hurry up to catch up with the next movie.My wife doesn't know anything about my troubles at work... eh.

Soon, the tram arrived in Ginza.Unexpectedly, the woman got out of the car, and I pulled my dissatisfied wife out of the car too.But I don't completely ignore my wife's request, the movie she wants to see is also showing in Ginza! The woman exited the ticket gate of the Marunouchi Line and went up the stairs in the direction of Hankyu Department Store.We still followed, and there were waves of people in front of the department store.The woman stood there for a long time, like the clown and the old gentleman, before returning to the underground passage again.We still follow. The woman is still gazing out from under the chocolate-coloured stone pillars near the ticket gates on the Hibiya subway line.No mistake, this woman walked the exact same path as the old gentleman and the clown, and even stopped to look at the same places.What's going on?Why?What is she going to do?

Still as expected, she continued toward the Fourth Street intersection and climbed the stairs at exit A7. I didn't continue to follow her, but stood at the exit of No. A7 and watched her go.For I knew she would return, and if she did, I was determined to ask her the inexplicable reason for her action.I firmly believe that the three of them must be acting in unison for a certain purpose. Although there is no concrete evidence, there must be a secret hidden in their series of stops, and they are all so keen on mysterious operations, isn't it just to get a lot of money?If this is not the case, there is really no other reason why they are so enthusiastic.The clown has been harassing my yard all night, isn't it because of the treasure?If she returns again, this matter can be 100% certain.But how should I ask more properly?Did they intend to let me join the ranks of the treasure hunt?

While hesitating, a group of hideous men in black suits walked down stairs A7.There were about five or six people.Each of the men's physique was quite strong, and most of their hair was parted in the middle. When they went down the stairs, several pairs of eyes were all looking around sharply. I took a step back unconsciously, the aura of each of them was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe, and I could vaguely feel the atmosphere of being ready for battle emanating from their bodies. The group of people in black clothes went down the stairs of No. A7, and then walked towards the direction of Kyobashi... In addition to a certain joy, there is now a little horror factor... Watching them go up the stairs of No. A12, I can't help but look up to the sky Exclaimed, such a huge treasure hunt?And the infiltration of the underworld?Didn't it get someone's attention?When exactly did it start?

I counted the time and waited for them to leave the A12 stairs, and then dragged my wife to catch up.Sure enough, they were heading towards the Tiger House hat shop with a terrifying aura. The wife's dissatisfaction finally broke out, "Hey! Are you finished!" I had no choice but to give up tracking, give up a possible large fortune, and give up saving the drama school... Holding the hand of my wife, I walked to Yurakucho angrily.
