Chapter 26 Chapter fifteen

The detective work went fast, and three days later, Yamamoto got off the train at Narashino station. I couldn't live in my natal family anymore, and I didn't want to be too far away from my elderly parents, so I chose Xi Zhiye.Jingjiang rented a cheap apartment with her son and settled down. Yamamoto walked out of the station and entered a cafe in front of the station.This morning I called Nozaki to ask for leave, saying that I had a bad cold and asked for a day off. Nozaki said coldly, let's take care of it. Yamamoto ordered a cup of iced coffee and drank it slowly.It was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still too early.He planned to stop Jingjiang at the gate of the company when she got off work, and didn't plan to go home because there was a son at home.

150 10,000-yen bills in his pocket.When I came out, I shaved my beard twice and dried my hair with a hair dryer.The suit is brand new, and the shirt, tie, and leather shoes are all new.No matter how you look at it, it's like working for a big company. However, Yamamoto was not at ease at all. Thirteen years are like a thick wall.What has become of Jing Jiang's face?What will you say when you see him? At around 4 o'clock, Yamamoto had already started walking around the insurance company where Jing Jiang worked.The sun was still high, emitting an annoying heat. Throat parched with thirst.Although I still don't know what to say when I see Jingjiang, but one thing has been decided, that is, to apologize to her immediately after meeting, and ask her for forgiveness... No, no, I should call her name first.

It was 5 o'clock, and more people came out of the company.Yamamoto's heart was beating wildly, and he consciously stood a little far away from the company's gate, but his eyes did not let go of every woman who came out of the gate. Fifteen minutes passed, and there was still no sign of Jingjiang. 20 minutes passed, 30 minutes passed, and Yamamoto began to feel hopeless—it was a waste of time today.The salesmen of the insurance company don't necessarily stay in the company every day. Jingjiang may be running business outside today. Discouraged and somewhat relaxed at the same time.Like the nervousness just now, he might not even be able to speak when he saw Jingjiang.

"Come back later!" Thinking of this, Yamamoto planned to go back to the station.Suddenly, a group of women came chattering through a door on the side of the building.It turned out there was a side door!Yamamoto took a closer look, and found that the women were all very well dressed, just like the salesmen of an insurance company! Yamamoto put on his sunglasses and walked towards the women, desperately searching for Shizue.There is a parking lot behind the building. The women quickly dispersed and walked to their cars, before disappearing in a blink of an eye. Yamamoto let out a long breath, turned around and was about to leave when he stopped suddenly because he saw another lady in a white coat coming out from the side door.

Jingjiang! Yamamoto's heart was beating wildly, and his whole chest was throbbing. Jingjiang is so beautiful!The sun-tanned face, neat hairstyle, light makeup, beige skirt, white high-heeled shoes, and decent attire made her graceful lines more distinct and more beautiful. Jingjiang said goodbye to the guard and walked straight towards Yamamoto. Yamamoto subconsciously stepped to the side of the road.The heart is commanding: go!past!But the two feet didn't listen at all. "He was a good husband to me!" "Thank you!" These two sentences inspired Yamamoto: "Jingjiang will be happy to see me, and will miss the time we spent together in the past, and must have been waiting for my appearance!"

With trembling hands, Yamamoto took off his sunglasses and walked towards Jingjiang. Jingjiang turned his face to Yamamoto and glanced at him. Yamamoto gathered everything that was in his mind into his eyes, but Jingjiang looked away from Yamamoto's face expressionlessly, and passed by Yamamoto. Yamamoto's eyes widened, and he turned around to look at Jing Jiang's back.He thought that Jingjiang would stop, that Jingjiang would turn around and take a serious look at himself. However, Jingjiang did nothing.Seeing Jingjiang going away, Yamamoto's ex-wife's name stuck in his throat was about to be washed out by the turbulent emotional waves, but he still didn't call out in the end, only knowing to stumble behind Jingjiang.The heat reflected from the asphalt road scorched Yamamoto's bones.

Jing Jiang walked across the parking lot, looked at her watch, and quickened her pace, completely oblivious to the fact that someone was chasing her behind her. Yamamoto's expression became dazed: "Why did you pass by? Those eyes didn't ignore me on purpose, nor did they show anger." Did you not pay attention?Could it be that you don't remember what your husband looks like?Or simply forget that there is a man named Yamamoto in this world? Jingjiang turned a corner and walked onto a small road, looked back and forth as if looking for something, immediately showed an expression of finding it, and walked towards a dark blue car parked by the side of the small road.Walking to the car, she smiled mischievously and knocked on the window glass, then opened the door and got in the car.

The dark blue car drove past Yamamoto quietly.The driver was a well-proportioned man in his 50s.Jingjiang smiled at him, and he smiled at Jingjiang. Since then, Yamamoto didn't even know which way he should go, but just wandered aimlessly on the street.His own shadow was seen in the shop window, and the shoes and tie seemed to be glowing strangely, reminding him of a clown on a stage. An hour later, Yamamoto came to a quiet residential area, and successfully found the residence of Shizuka's mother and son according to the address provided by the private detective.It was a half-new two-story house. On the door of a family near the corner on the first floor, there was a piece of spleen written "Sakai" nailed on it.Only Jingjiang's surname is written, and the names of the mother and son are not written.

Yamamoto hid behind a telegraph pole and stared at the door of Jingjiang's house. He didn't know what he was going to do, and he didn't know what he wanted to do, he just stood there blankly in a daze.The dim bicycle lights flickered, and a boy riding a bicycle came over.It was a boy wearing a junior high school uniform. Because of his small stature, his trousers looked a bit long. After getting out of the car, he put the car away, took out the schoolbag from the car basket, and looked back at Yamamoto. A pair of straightforward eyes showed no dislike for the suspicious man hiding behind the electric pole.Those eyes are exactly the same as Jingjiang's eyes, slender and shining with kindness.

Even degenerating into a bad boy will arouse people's sympathy.Father is a murderer. The boy disappeared into the room with the "Sakai" sign on it, and the lights came on.Yamamoto looked at the light coming from the window, neither excited nor stirred up emotional waves in his heart. Today, blood ties have little meaning.No matter from the child's point of view or from Yamamoto's point of view, both sides are outsiders. Yamamoto returned to the station silently along the original road, bought a train ticket, and just caught a slow train. Loneliness finally came, albeit a little late.

The miserable appearance of the old man who died in the mental hospital appeared in his mind.The purple bloodstains on the wrists and ankles that were drawn by the rope clearly appeared in front of his eyes. "Who will collect my body after I die..." Tears welled up, and he really wanted to cry.He pressed his forehead against the glass of the car door, trying not to cry out.In this world, he is the only one left.The sense of loneliness gripped his body and also his heart, as if his chest was being strangled by a thick rope, getting tighter and tighter. —In a blurry world, he saw scenes from his childhood.In an open space, there are remnants of air-raid shelters left over from the war years.He got into the hole, and the more he got in, the more he wanted to get in.I saw all kinds of reptiles and bats inside.When I got home and told my mother, she was scolded by her. College days are the happiest.I met classmates who spoke various dialects, went drinking in Shinjuku, wandered in Shibuya, dated my girlfriend, and listened to my father telling his own life experience... It's also fun after work.There are young and vigorous colleagues in the company, a boss who has surpassed singers in singing, and a good wife Jing Jiang at home.Watching TV with Jingjiang, and taking a bath in a bathtub... That day, when I met that woman, everything was over... It's over, it's over since that day, not today. The scenes of life in the past were fragmented one by one, and disappeared from sight. At around 9 o'clock, the familiar neon lights appeared outside the window.Yamamoto didn't go home after getting off at Omiya Station, but went directly to the billiard room he often went to. It didn't take much effort to find the woman named "Young Master". "Young Master" lost his red eyes again, his lower lip protruded, and his bloodshot eyes stared at the slot machine.Without saying a word, Yamamoto pulled up "your son" and walked out.Pulled to a nearby love hotel, hugged "your son" madly, kissed and bit for a while, opened the refrigerator in the room and took out all the alcohol, ordered takeaway sushi, and ate and drank After talking about it, she slept with the "Young Master". Money rules everything.Money can control the "noble son" under the body, and can control Nozaki.Kasai's money will be used to arrange Yamamoto to kill people. He thought again of the high school girl he had killed.I gave her 20,000 yen, wouldn't there be nothing wrong with taking it home?If you want to make trouble, if you want to make trouble, what is it for? money!money!money!It's all about money! Yamamoto tossed and tossed on "Young Master" all night.This pile of obscene meat was bought with money, so if you don't do it, you won't do it for nothing!However, after finishing the work, Yamamoto felt even more lonely.
