Chapter 4 third quarter

The director didn't say anything, and he didn't know what he was thinking. When he got home, it was past two o'clock, and Kayo immediately explained the situation to him, told him his future plans, and added: "Anyway, don't lose your temper with Shiko right now." "I know." The director nodded.His hair didn't turn white overnight as I feared, but a large black circle appeared under his eyes. "Can I confirm that Fuko is safe and sound?" Dad, I'm sorry.It's okay, people are fine.After a few brief conversations, the department locked itself in the room again, and the director and Kayo went back to work.

At about eight o'clock that night, the owner of "La Shina" came to visit with a bottle of bourbon. This is the first time, presumably the boss is also very concerned about that matter. "The store is closed today. I thought that Mr. Hasumi might want to have a drink, so I came to bother you." "I'm so sorry." The director arched his back and suddenly looked old. Compared with the tall and strong boss, the scene was really unbearable. "How is Miss Xizi?" After sitting down in the living room with Xiao Jiadai and the director, the boss asked.Little Kayo glanced at the back room.

"Stay in the room all the time." Xiao Kayo said, explaining to the boss what Shinya and Xiaokei said, and that he would investigate on their behalf.The boss laughed after hearing this: "That's how it is... No, I can rest assured that way. Ms. Kayoko is an expert in the investigation." "What does the boss think about this matter?" The boss took Xiaojia's blended whiskey, thought for a while, and said calmly: "I don't think they're lying." He took a sip of the pale amber liquid. "If they really have that kind of intention, they should make up a more decent lie. And, don't look at it like that, he is a complete romantic." After the boss finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing. "If that guy knows what I said about him, he will definitely be furious."

"He wouldn't go to a place like a hotel, would he?" Little Kayo laughed too.Only the director is lonely and close friends with Bourbon Whispers himself.The boss continued: "Among the regular customers in our store is the owner of a large hotel chain. In the past, he would give and answer a riddle: 'You know? In a place like a hotel, no matter how good the business is, there will always be an endless stream of customers. When the next couple comes in, there's absolutely no sign of the previous couple. Not a drop of water on the bathroom floor. Do you know how we clean it?'”

"Wipe it with a bed sheet?" Hearing Kayo's answer, the director abruptly tore up the friendship treaty with bourbon whiskey. "Kadako! How do you know such a thing?" "I saw it on TV." Kayo-chan replied nonchalantly, and added an ice cube to the director's cup. "and then?" "Shin couldn't answer. After listening to the boss's answer, Shinya showed a disgusted expression and said, 'Well, even if you wash it afterwards, you still have to use it after all? It's used for cleaning--'" Kayo-chan interface: "'It's so dirty!'—Is that so?"

The boss and Kayo-chan laugh together, while the director sips whiskey. "He's quite sensitive about that," Kayo said. "Although this alone is not enough to prove anything." The boss said. However, I was a little relieved to hear that. "However, if what the two of them said is true, what happened to the girl in the luggage compartment? This incident makes me more concerned. If it is a drunk college student, forget it, normal people will not let People can sit in the luggage compartment, let alone children." The boss said. "Yes. But they say the child opened the trunk and climbed in by herself. Could it be that she was joking?"

"In the middle of the night?" Little Kayo shook the ice in the glass in his hand: "It's true... No matter who the other party is, not only the child was present at the time, but also a person whom she called 'Dad'. It must be the person who drove Noko and Shinya to that hotel?" I can only think so.They were both unconscious at the time, and I think the other party is pretty good at that.In my experience, it is not easy to knock out a living person without causing serious injury. I looked at the boss's pure white T-shirt and his swarthy face; he was by no means a handsome man, but he looked very charming.That is the appearance that has been created by winning all the way in many fierce battles.

"Please be careful. Actually, I just wanted to remind you of this, and I only came here to disturb you tonight." Xiao Jiadai smiled and thanked.The boss became ashamed and drank half a glass of whiskey in one go. "Honestly, although I said I wanted to investigate, I didn't know where to start. Seiko was sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle and didn't see the little girl; Shinya also said that he couldn't remember the girl's appearance or model. He said that if he saw it again , should be recognized, but it is really impossible for him to describe the appearance of the other party out of thin air. But this cannot be blamed on him. "

"What do the people in the hotel say? However, that kind of place usually doesn't pay attention to the faces of the guests, and they may not be able to ask anything. Doesn't anyone remember that someone moved two people in?" Little Kayo laughed softly and said: "Actually, I went to ask about it this afternoon, but it was all in vain. The hotel is operated by automation. Guests choose the vacant room shown, put money in it, and a key card will be thrown out." "Oh," the boss scratched his short hair. "I really don't understand, is this society becoming more convenient or more inconvenient?"

"That's right. It seems that we have to start from the place where the two saw the little girl crawling into the luggage compartment." "What color is the car?" "They said it was white." "Do you know the location?" "Well, roughly." The boss put down his glass and said: "Is it a car parked on the side of the road? Although I can't say 100%, but if it is the vehicle of the residents of the building in that area, there should be clues." Little Kayo opened his eyes wide and looked at the director, who was leaning against the back of the sofa chair half asleep.

"That night, before Shinya went to pick up Miss Kazuko, he was chopping garlic." "Garlic?" "Yes. A group of office workers who participated in the banquet after the banquet ordered Japanese-style pasta for six people, so—" Allow me to explain here. The Japanese-style pasta specially made by "La Shina" is a Japanese-style flavor with a lot of mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and it is delicious.Every time little Kayo went to "La Shina" to drink, he always had a plate at the end; and I, as a member of the Hasumi family, had the natural right to get a share.The boss said before that the trick to good food is to add enough olive oil and a lot of garlic. "I see." Kayo blinked. "So, Shinya's hands smell like garlic?" "Well, he was still complaining about 'hands stink' when he went out. As a result, there might still be a smell of garlic on the trunk of the car that Shinya opened. Although we can't smell it, if it's its nose—— " The boss put his hand on my head.You are right! "Also," the boss raised his index finger. "Miss Kayoko, no matter who it is, the person we're looking for should be able to ride a motorcycle. Because when Shinya and Miss Notoko woke up in the 'Hotel City of Love', the motorcycle was there." "Well, I thought of that too—" Xiao Kayo said halfway, showing a puzzled look. "It should be impossible to prepare a vehicle to carry the locomotive in advance, and it would be very troublesome to tow it with a car. Without steel cables and iron hooks, there is no way. But, must it be someone who can ride a locomotive? There is plenty of time. Is it okay to push the locomotive to the hotel?” The boss shook his head. "Can Miss Kayoko ride a motorcycle?" "No, not at all. Not even touched." "That's it, no wonder you think so. Please think about the situation of bicycles. For people who have never ridden a bicycle, it is very hard to just push the bicycle forward, let alone a heavy motorcycle. If you are a layman, even It's a light motorcycle, and I can't push it around as I like. In addition, Shinya's favorite car is a 400cc motorcycle. If you are not careful, you will be crushed by the car as soon as you kick the kickstand. , even if you are a beginner, you must be someone who can ride a motorcycle.” The boss's hobby is long-distance travel by bicycle, and Shinya also met through motorcycle enthusiasts, and Kayo-san trusts his judgment. After the boss helped Xiao Jiadai to help the drunk director to the bedroom upstairs, he left.It was close to midnight at this time. It's rare for the director to get so drunk.The fact that his youngest daughter, who he regarded as a child, might spend the night with a man really hit him hard.I kind of want to sleep with him. Little Kayo was careful not to make a sound. After finishing the quilt, he brought a kettle and cups from the kitchen downstairs on a tray and placed them next to the director's pillow. When the light was turned off and was about to leave the room, little Kayo was stopped by a vague voice: "Kyoko." "What's the matter, Dad?" Little Kayo quietly squatted down and looked at the director. He closed his eyes and murmured: "It's okay for Shizi to follow up. It doesn't matter if you don't need to investigate." Little Kayo knelt beside the director's pillow, staring straight at his face.After a while, the director said: "Shiko is considered a half-adult, and Shin is also a good boy, dad—" "I see." Xiao Jiadai replied softly, and arranged the quilt for his father. "Good night." "—Dad is very worried, but," said the director vaguely. "It's like what kind of friends Xiezi has made, and Xiezi really wants to be a painter, but there are many different people among the artists. It would be bad if she met strange people." "I see, Dad." "You too. Although you are willing to inherit Dad's job, Dad is very happy, but this job is very dangerous, and you can't play as much as other girls—" "I love this job." "Will you be lonely? What if you fall in love with a bad man or a married man? Dad has been very worried..." Sister Ren Jian’s mother passed away when the two were young, and the director, a man, brought up the two daughters, and the job he was engaged in made him see the sinister nature of human beings. Anxiety seems to pour out through the power of bourbon. "Dad, Xiezi and I will never do anything to make Dad sad. I made an appointment with you." Little Kayo assured his father.Five minutes later, the director began to snore.On the other side of the amber mist, he may be dreaming of the dream of taking Kayo by the hand and going to the zoo with Xiaoxi on his back.
