The fast food restaurant's parking lot is very spacious, and my car is parked straight along the white line of the parking space, which makes me feel good. "Mom, what do you want to ask Mr. Eguchi?" Heng asked. Yu Zi, who was about to get out of the car, turned his head and said, "Don't ask him anything, but to announce something to him. If he gets Yuan Xiang into trouble, I will never let him go. My nunchuck will Breathe fire! Do you want to add this sentence?" "Mom, nunchucks can't breathe fire." "Be tougher with Eguchi." "I don't think Mr. Eguchi is that bad."

"But it's definitely not much better. Anyway, you wait in the car for me to come back." "If you don't let me in, why should I come together?" "It was you who said you would follow me, but I didn't promise to take you in. It's like the coriander in the dish, which comes uninvited, and complains, 'Why don't you eat me?', the diners will also be very troublesome." "You say I'm coriander?" "Anyway, you just wait here." After speaking, Yu Zi got out of the car and went straight to the fast food restaurant without hesitation.

Heng in the passenger seat was not particularly angry. He took out the game console and played it, as if it was a racing game.As the game progressed, his body also swayed from side to side, feeling very focused.The sound of the engine coming from my passenger seat is amazing. "Hey, Ludemi." Huh?Who is calling me?After the light car on the right drove away, I found Hei Ruiyi beside him.His body was washed very clean. "Oh, it's you." "What a coincidence to meet in this kind of place." Hei Ruiyi was overjoyed purely because of the coincidence. In other words, he didn't know Mr. Eguchi was going to meet my master Ikuko.

"No, it's not a coincidence. My Yuzi and your Eguchi made an appointment to meet here." "Oh, that's it." Hei Ruiyi's voice dropped immediately, as if the car was several times heavier in an instant.Not out of disappointment, but out of guilt. "I know someone is looking for him, so it's your master." "She came to remind Mr. Eguchi not to involve my Yuan Xiang." Hei Ruiyi sighed: "Mr. Jiangguchi also..." "I don't want to involve Yuanxiang either, right?" I rushed to say.It can be heard from the recording that Mr. Eguchi is really worried about Enxiang.

"Yes. He has his difficulties too. Very difficult." "That Tokari, is it really scary?" Hei Ruiyi's wiper was distorted—of course, it wasn't really distorted.The bitterness in our hearts is reflected in the front window just as humans show grim expressions. "You know about Tokari?" "I know." I didn't say that I had heard the recording, "Mr. Eguchi seems to have been assigned a very troublesome task by this person." "Tokari has only himself in his heart. He thinks that no matter what he does, there should be a green light all the way ahead."

"Green light all the way?" "That is to say, he thinks he is the law. Anyone who stands in his way is guilty and must be punished. No matter who the other party is, if he wants to, he will find a way to take the other party's money and keep it for himself. The man said Simple and very simple, he doesn't want to dominate others, he just wants money." "Are you asking for money?" "Tokari and the others live for money, and they cannot live without money." I suddenly remembered that Zappa said that Frank Zappa had an album called "We Only Work For Money". "Money is to them what gasoline is to us?"

"Tokari was originally a spendthrift. He spent a lot of money on food, drink and entertainment. However, after he came here, he participated in a suspicious gambling game, and he fell into a big fall." "What a relief." "From the perspective of others, yes." "From the perspective of others?" "Arrears are piling up, and creditors keep coming to the door to demand debts, so Tokari has no choice but to reach out to those things that come with quick money." "Such as investment?" It's impossible to think about it. "It's the simpler methods that harm people, like extortion. This guy is a lawless guy who bullies the weak and threatens people: 'If you want your life, pay me!'"

"It's outrageous." "Isn't that right. Tokari will never let anyone disobedient." "Like throwing a child into a river?" "So, even if my Mr. Eguchi wanted to make a clean break with Tokari, he couldn't do it. He and Tokari lived in the same area when they were young, and they used to hang out together when they were teenagers. At that time, Tokari was bossing Mr. Eguchi. Later Tokari is getting more and more terrifying, and Mr. Eguchi wants to keep a distance from him." Hei Ruiyi talked about the history of his master eloquently. "Mr. Eguchi is too wise."

"Yes." Hei Ruiyi said flatly, "But Tokari still wants to involve Mr. Eguchi. It can be said that Tokari will involve everything." "It sounds like Tokari is similar to a tornado." A long time ago, a neighboring town in Sendai City was hit by a tornado, and it was a hot topic at the time.Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I heard that the huge whistling cyclone swept away the huts along the way. "That's right. Just like a tornado topples roofs and uproots trees, Tokari drags everyone around him into the water." "Mr. Eguchi is holding on to the rope, trying not to let himself be swept away by the wind."

A picture emerged in my mind. Mr. Eguchi was blown by the strong wind so that his body was almost floating, but he still held on to the rope, desperately resisting the strong suction of the strong wind.There was a rope protruding from his body, and Yuan Xiang was tied firmly to one end of the rope.If he was swept away by the strong wind, Yuan Xiang would not be spared either.Moreover, the rope on Yuanxiang's body was tied to the other three members of Mochizuki's family, Yuzi, Liangfu and Heng.If Mr. Eguchi is swept away, Mochizuki and his family will be ruined. "Can't you escape?" I tried to say, "Escape to a place where there are no tokari."

"If you can escape, Eguchi-san won't be in such pain. It's too difficult to escape from Tokari. Tokari is just like that person." "Mr. Tanker?" "Yeah." That incident is indeed a common memory of all private cars, "Tokari is the same as the tanker driver who almost killed the red Plymouth Valiant. First, they can calmly intimidate others ; and secondly, they're all tough." "However, if you want to escape, you can always escape. For example, there seems to be a village abroad that is still unknown to outsiders." I remembered the topic that Yuzi and Heng talked about recently. "I also heard the news. It was told by a certain car. That village seems to be in America, and it is said that a small plane crashed there." Hei Ruiyi said, "It seems to be in South America? Or in Nanpu and Heilongjiang? Come on? I remember that there seems to be a word 'South'." "Forget about the place name." "If you escape there..." "Even Tokari can't catch up?" "However, Mr. Jiangguchi will live in such a remote and mysterious place?" Hei Ruiyi said blankly, "He can't take Shangzi there. She is not in good health and cannot travel long distances." "Who is Shangzi?" "She is Mr. Eguchi's mother. After her husband passed away ten years ago, Shangzi raised her son by herself. She is a very great mother." Naoko is similar to my master Ikuko in raising children alone.Could it be because of this opportunity that Mr. Eguchi and Enxiang got together? "In addition, a few years ago, a tumor was found in Shangzi's stomach, so part of the stomach was removed." Hei Ruiyi said in a proud tone unique to private cars. "Then Shangzi should not go." I agreed with Hei Ruiyi's statement, "Mr. Jiangguchi can escape by himself?" "Ludemi, are you the goodwill ambassador of that village?" Hei Ruiyi smiled, "Do you know? If Mr. Eguchi escapes, his mother will become the target of Tokari's intimidation." "How is it possible!" As soon as the words came out, I corrected them immediately, "It's possible." Think about that Yamamoto boy from Keyakicho Elementary School! "That's right." Hei Ruiyi's tone became extremely bitter, "The Hukari group will put a lot of shrimp dishes in front of the mother who is allergic to shrimp, and threaten her: 'Eat them all, and I will eat them all. Forgive your son.' It's not like Tokari can't do such a crazy thing. Moreover, if something happens to Naoko because of an allergic reaction, Tokari will definitely push the responsibility away without changing his face.'I won't let her Eat, but she won't listen. Probably too greedy.'" "How do you know so well?" "Because Tokari has done similar things before." Hei Ruiyi replied. "It's horrible! Why can this guy still live in this world like an ordinary person?" "He's not like an ordinary person." "what?" "Different from ordinary people, he lives with dignity." Having said this, Hei Ruiyi suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. "Here they come." "Who's here?" "Tokari's companion. Well, it's not considered a companion..." A white van was parked in the parking lot. He wasn't there just now. When did he come?The car is not new, and the body is dirty and covered with bruises. Three men got out of the van.All three of them were wearing white shirts and coats, looking very stylish.One of them has a hulking back, strong chest muscles, and strong arms like tree trunks.The other two were slender and had brown hair, giving them a somewhat decadent look.They both look alike, but have different hair lengths. "Ah, it's this one." The short-haired man approached Hei Ruiyi and pointed, "Look at the license plate, it's absolutely right, it's Jiangguchi's car." "It's quite leisurely to eat burgers early in the morning." Another man said. Without saying a word, the muscular man raised his foot and kicked Hei Ruiyi's license plate.It hurts!Although it wasn't me who was kicked, I almost couldn't hold back my cry. "Is he Tokari?" I looked at the man tremblingly and asked. "No, Tokari didn't come. The three of them just..." "It's just a young man?" Yuanxiang once called Tokari's subordinates like this when listening to the recording. "Yes. They are the ones who have a close relationship with Tokari among the young people. If Tokari is the president, then the three of them are equivalent to the executive director." "I don't know anything about the company. But, are Tokari's subordinates also so fierce?" Heng in the car raised his head when he heard the movement.He narrowed his eyes suspiciously, sat up straight, and stared at the three people outside. "They are also afraid of Tokari, so they are very anxious." The three men walked aggressively towards the fast food restaurant, and I stared at their backs intently.That pressure reminds me of a steamroller on a construction site. "How do they know Mr. Eguchi is here?" "Maybe the clerk told them." Hei Ruiyi said calmly. "This store still provides this kind of service?" "Tokari's men, by the way, are the man who kicked me just now, and the girls he knows work here." "Then why did Mr. Eguchi specifically designate this store?" "Because he doesn't know about it." "have no idea?" "Only I noticed the girl working here. Once, Mr. Eguchi happened to find it when he drove by here, and Mr. Eguchi didn't pay attention at all. If he is lucky, the girl is probably in the shop now. She spotted Eguchi Sir, so I secretly called and reported. It is true that you can still do this kind of thing while working part-time. Recently, Mr. Eguchi has been hiding everywhere in order to avoid the task assigned by Tokari. The three directors have been desperately looking for him. Now that his whereabouts have finally been discovered, the little minions are naturally full of energy and energy. The more the prey escapes, the more excited the hunter will be." "Like the feeling of trying to overtake a car in front of you?" I remembered their attitude just now, restless, bored, but extremely excited.Is this the ecstasy of finally finding prey?I picture the car chasing the car in front and then savagely overtaking, and the dazed expression on the driver's face. "What kind of work was Mr. Eguchi entrusted by Tokari? I heard that he was asked to help transport something." "um, yes." "What the hell is it? By the way, do you know?" I yelled to the van where the trio of directors were riding. no response. Not too far away to hear it.I tried shouting again: "Hey, can you hear me?" "Lu Demi, he probably isn't in the mood to speak." Hei Ruiyi slightly lowered his voice. The van looked sullen, wondering what to think. At this time, I saw Ikuko come out of the store. "Ah, your master is back." Hei Ruiyi also noticed it. While keeping an eye on her back, Yu Zi hurried over and got into the car. "Welcome back." I greeted the host. "Mom, how is it?" Henry asked immediately. "As expected, Eguchi-kun is a likable young man." "As expected?" Henry asked back, "You obviously doubted him before, didn't you? Why did you suddenly call 'Eguchi-kun, Eguchi-kun' so affectionate?" Mother showed no sign of weakness. "Because as soon as I approached the table, he stood up immediately." Eguchi, who was waiting in the shop, noticed Ikuko's arrival, got up immediately, bowed his head politely and apologized. "I didn't want to implicate Ms. Yuanxiang, I'm really sorry." He respectfully reported his family name, "I'm Eguchi who had the honor to associate with Ms. Yuanxiang." "He doesn't look like a bad guy. And..." "and?" "And handsome." "Didn't you always teach me not to judge a book by its cover?" Heng muttered, "So, what did he say about Tokari?" "He didn't elaborate on this, he just told me: 'Tokari asked him to deliver the goods.'" "If it's just shipping, Mr. Eguchi has no reason to be so afraid." "Yeah, I think so too. I asked several times, but Eguchi-kun hesitated and spoke incoherently. It seems that he really doesn't know the inside story. Ah, but his incoherent appearance is also very cute." Ikuko said with a smile. Heng and I pointed out in unison: "This kind of thing doesn't matter at all!" "Mom, you shouldn't let him go so easily. If he doesn't tell the truth, you scare him: 'My nunchuck can breathe fire!'" Yu Zi retorted calmly: "Heng, nunchucks can't breathe fire." Then her expression changed, and she said a little nervously, "Let's not talk about that for now. Three fierce-looking men came here just now." "Ah, I saw them. One of them kicked the black car next to him. Could it be Tokari?" "I don't think so. Because one of them yelled at Eguchi-kun: 'Don't think that you can be lawless if Mr. Tokari is not here!'" "It's scary." "I didn't know what to do for a while. I understand that the situation is critical, but when I think of them as the ones who might get Yuan Xiang involved in trouble, I get furious." "Is this the instinct of motherhood?" "This is the fighting instinct. Anyway, when I was about to shoot the case, Eguchi-kun said to them: 'This lady has nothing to do with this matter.' This is the first time I have been protected like this." "Oh..." Henry responded blankly. "Eguchi-kun said to me: 'Please go back first.' After that, I came back." Ikuko touched his neck with his hand, "However, I still don't feel relieved." Heng nodded, looking eager to try. "Mom, hold this for me." He handed the game console to Yuzi. "What are you going to do?" "I'll go to the store." Heng said calmly, "They will definitely not be wary of elementary school students like me. I just pretended to be waiting for my mother and sat at the next table to eavesdrop on what they were saying." "No, it's too dangerous." "It's okay. If there is any danger, I will run away immediately." Heng looked very happy.He opened the car door and said pretendingly: "Agent Coriander, this task is to find out the content of the work entrusted to Mr. Eguchi." Then, he replied in another tone: "Understood. Coriander will appear in the on the plate." Yuzi still wants to stop, but Heng is very stubborn.In the end, Yuzi gave in.Probably she thought it would not be so dangerous for a child to walk around the store. Heng, who was tasked as an agent, seemed nervous and excited. I watched him walk to the fast food restaurant, and then asked Hei Ruiyi, "What exactly is Mr. Eguchi going to transport?" At this time, the white van, which had been silent all the time, said in a gloomy and low voice that almost dampened our wheels: "It's a dead body. They want him to transport the dead body." There was also a hint of pleading for help in his self-defeating tone.
