Chapter 10 Chapter 9 The Adventures of the Fatty

Near Sunamachi, at the eastern end of Tokyo, where the Arakawa spillway empties into the sea, there is a psychiatric hospital called Kijo. The dean's name is Muchang Wanwan. It's a coincidence that Muchang's pinyin is the same as Fox's. Judging from his slanted eyes and pointed mouth, it also fits his fox's faint name. That was about a week after Dr. Oyamada and others drew up a battle plan at home—— Mr. Mu Chang Wanwan beamed with joy, looking extremely happy.This is because for two consecutive days yesterday and the day before yesterday, two well-known rich men in Tokyo called respectively, asking his hospital to accept their children.

One is the eldest son of Kanano Ginichi, the general manager of Yiliu Bank, a sixteen-year-old boy named Gintaro.It is said that due to excessive study and hard work, his mind has become a little abnormal, and he hopes to be hospitalized for a while. As for No. 16 Bank, it is a big bank with hundreds of branches all over the country. Of course, the general manager of the bank is a rich man.Mr. Wan Wan was really happy, and he agreed without saying a word.Maybe it's a turn of events. Yesterday this one was the owner of Maruya Clothing Store, very famous, and one of the few in Ginza Street.The boss's name is Marui Nagazo, and his only son Akiyoshi is a thirteen-year-old child. It is said that this child is too naughty and does not listen to discipline. He hopes to accept hospital care for a period of time.The boss of Maruya is also a rich man, even included in the national list of rich people who pay high income tax.Mr. Hun Hun also respectfully agreed without saying a word.

"How is it? Juanzi. Look, there are so many rich men asking for my name, and I'm not an easy person!" Mr. Wuhun proudly boasted to his wife Juanzi. "Hmph, is it reliable? If you are too happy, you will be disappointed. Is it true that they say it belongs to the Kanano family or the Marui family? Will someone pretend to be the names of these two rich men?" "Well, we have to be careful. It seems that we have to hang up the phone unexpectedly. If it is really a child of the Kanano family and the Marui family, you can understand it immediately. There is a phone book here. You can call and ask. !"

"What did I say on the phone?" "You just ask: 'When will your young master deliver it?' If you say we are Mu Chang's family, don't say it is a mental hospital, because the other party also has to take care of face." "Know it!" The results of Juanzi's phone check proved to be completely true.In this way, Juanyu was also very happy, and she no longer had any doubts. "It's true that I said that the family is in charge. The Marui family and the Kanano family are both answered by the master himself. I ask you again and again, which is very polite. However, they also said, don't call often in the future..."

"Well, this is completely understandable. But when will you send the young master here?" "Oh, yes, I forgot to mention it. Don't worry, Mr. Marui and Mr. Kanano have both said that they have already sent someone to send the young master away for a long time. It seems that it is about time!" "What a fool, why didn't you say it earlier?" Mr. Wan Wan and Mrs. Juanzi suddenly became flustered, but Mr. Wan Wan said to his wife as if feeling something: "I said, Juanzi!" "Yes, what's the matter?" "The Marui family and the Kanano family both said that their child was mentally ill. Do you think this is true?"

"Well, I've been thinking about this too, and I always feel a little suspicious. There are always some shameful things about rich people. It's inconvenient for children to stay at home, but they can't be killed... so I have to... …Hey, those two locked in the isolation room aren’t…” Mrs. Juanzi slipped her tongue accidentally, and Mr. Wan Wan immediately said sharply: "Hey! Don't talk nonsense, your mouth is not strict. Those two in the isolation room are really lunatics. You can see that the two of them are stupid all day long as if they are dreaming. Not a single word was said here."

"It's like that..." "It's not wrong, it's crazy, it's completely crazy. However, it's strange enough that the two children suddenly left the isolation room and disappeared a few days ago. I don't know what's going on?" "At that time, I was also shocked. The front door was locked very well, but why the two of them suddenly disappeared. I searched inside and outside the house, but I didn't even find a shadow. I went to their room and saw that they had already returned! It was as if they had been fascinated by the fox, but fortunately they had already returned, so they could feel at ease. Anyway, those two children are the cash drawers of our family! But, I don't know the two children of the Marui family and the Kanano family..."

"Uh-huh?" "It's better that those two children are not crazy, so they will give more money." Look, everyone, what kind of psychiatric hospital is this!It turns out that this hospital actually accepts good people as lunatics, and it can make more money by doing so.However, it also fits the meaning of the name Fox Dim. Since it is such a hospital, who are the two children living in the isolation room? ... Just as the faint couple were talking about money yesterday with relish, a car drove up to the main gate. The first to arrive was Gintaro, the son of the Kanano family.He seems to be a very smart young man, but his face is a bit ugly, and his eyes are also very depressed.

An honest-looking old man who claimed to be a servant of the Kanano family sniffled and said: "Our young master is so pitiful. The house is always in a mess, plus he has worked too hard, and his mind is a little abnormal recently..." "You said something is abnormal, what kind of symptoms are it?" Mr. Faint asked pretendingly. "As for the symptoms, I'm fine during the day, but I'm always in a daze, and I can hardly hear anything. Also, look, I'm always drawing something, as if I can't stand it without drawing... Generally speaking Such is the case. But, at night, often--"

"Often? What do you do?" "That's right, I often wander out alone, like a sleepwalker..." Mr. Faintly still asked in a pretentious manner: "Really? There are quite a few teenagers who suffer from such a disease! But, this kid is just going out for a walk, or is he doing something reckless?..." "No, please rest assured that the patient is very honest..." "Ah, I understand everything, it's nothing, as long as you stay in my hospital, you will be fine soon." "Then I really want to thank you. Then, please accept this month's fee first... My master wanted to come in person, but he was rude because he had something to do..."

Seeing a thick bag of money being taken out, Mr. Wan Wan was about to stretch out his hand with a smile, and immediately put on a serious face and said: "Ah, then let's save it first, and I will make the settlement list later..." "Ah, there's no need for a list. Well, I'll take my leave today...Master! You must be honest." The old servant touched Gintaro's head with his hand, but the young man didn't seem to feel anything, he just scribbled something on the table, turned his head to look carefully, and there were a lot of circles, triangles and so on. "Look, he probably thinks it's calculus mathematics! It's so pitiful..." The old servant walked out with a snot in his nose.At this time, Mrs. Juanzi came in from the outside and said quietly to Mr. Hun: "Tell you, I wrote down the number of their car. Check it later to see if it's really Kanano's car. ... Oh, that's the money I just gave? So much..." Mrs. Juanzi smiled happily.At this moment, another car seemed to be driving to the door, and Mr. Wan Wan hurriedly took the boy Gintaro to the inner ward.Mrs. Juanzi hid the money as carefully as a treasure in the closet. This time it was Akikichi, the son of the Marui family.The boy was always walking with small steps, never idle for a moment, like a monkey. "This young master is really pitiful." A young man who claimed to be a servant of the Marui family said the same thing as the old servant of the Kanano family. "To be honest, the master of my family wants to have a new young wife...and this Mr. Zhaoji...you see, he has a very active personality, he is never idle for a moment, always running around, looking around, and no matter what Just grab something and shake it,...if you offend the new wife, it will be difficult. So...this is this month's hospitalization fee, please accept it!" "I fully understand what you mean. Don't worry, put the child with me, and your master can welcome the new wife safely!...Then, I will accept the money for the time being." That night, when Mr. Wanmu and Mrs. Juanzi were happily calculating the money, at the house of Dr. Oyamada in the raccoon cave, there were the police officers from the Waiting Force disguised as old servants and Kyosuke disguised as Marui's servants. , was having a secret conversation around Dr. Oyamada. "Muchang Wanwan is indeed a suspicious guy. He said it was a hospital, but there were no nurses or pharmacists in sight. It is doubtful whether there are any patients." "From the look in Mr. Wan's eyes when he saw the money, you can understand that he is an extremely greedy person." "However, don't be careless. Judging from his wife secretly writing down the car number, it seems that he has to check whether it is the car of Kaneno's family!" "It was the same when I went there. Judging from their careful precautions, there must be ghosts behind it." "Well, beware of this, they will do it. It is said that they also called the Kanano family and the Marui family today. But it doesn't matter, Mr. Marui and Mr. Kaneno have given instructions, and they will not leak it from them what." Both Mr. Marui and Mr. Kanano have received help from Dr. Koyamada.Therefore, as long as it is Dr. Oyamada's request, no matter what, he will agree without hesitation.Besides, it is true that the Marui family has Akikichi and the Kanano family has Gintaro, and these two children have recently gone to the countryside to recuperate due to poor health.Therefore, although Mr. Wan Wan has as many tricks as a fox, he will never find out that he is an impostor when he spy on the situation of the two families. It can be seen that Dr. Oyamada's prior arrangement was very careful.However, whether the two teenagers, Shiro and Fatty, can complete this extremely adventurous task is really worrying, and I hope nothing goes wrong. As monitored by the Waiting Force Police Department, Muchang Hospital is a completely dishonest hospital. There are neither female nurses nor pharmacists in this hospital, and there are only two people living in the spacious hospital, Mr. Wan Wan and Mrs. Juanzi. From cleaning the room to cooking, Mrs. Juanzi is responsible for everything.As long as she has time, she can count money. It seems that this person likes to settle accounts. Although the family background is very poor, the house is very grand - tall red brick walls, with a large iron fence gate, at first glance, I don't know what kind of big rich man's mansion it is!Therefore, one cannot but wonder, how could a person like Mr. Wan Wan own such a big house? Regardless of this, let's take a look at the situation of the two children who were just admitted to the hospital—— Since Shirou and Fatty were admitted to the hospital under the names of Gintaro and Akikichi respectively, they have spent three days without incident.Every night, Shi Lang had to imitate the appearance of a sleepwalking patient, wandering around unsteadily, while the little fat man always walked back and forth in the corridor with small steps like a monkey all day long.Neither of them found anything suspicious. But on the fourth night, that is, in the middle of the night, Shiro was about to sneak out of the house as usual. When he looked out the window to check the movement, he suddenly saw the window of the house on the corner open from the inside, and a figure jumped out of the window tactfully. When he came out, Shi Lang couldn't help being startled, and quickly hid behind the curtain. Thief? ... Shirou's heart was pounding with fright.That's Mr. Hun's house. Did a thief sneak in after paying attention to the money brought by the police department and Gongsuke? ... Shirou immediately figured it out like this. The strange figure stood under the window and looked around for a while, then tiptoed over here.When the figure was walking under Shi Lang's window, suddenly the moon came out from the gap in the clouds and shone on the face of that strange figure.At this moment, Shirou was so surprised that he almost fell into a fight. Oh, isn't that ghostly figure exactly Mr. Faint? ... I saw Mr. Wan Wan tiptoe across the yard, and soon turned around the house and disappeared. Shiro felt more and more strange. Why did Mr. Twilight slip out of the window?Why do you have to tiptoe when walking in your own home?Besides, where was he going in the middle of the night? Shi Lang stood by the window and wondered for a while, finally made up his mind, opened the window and jumped out of the window.Then he also tiptoedly followed behind Mr. Faint, and came to the corner of the house. A little away behind this building, there is a lonely red brick house.Although the house is not too big, it is built very solidly.Ivy's branches and leaves covered the wall, making it very dark. Mr. Wan Wan came to the front of this bungalow, scanned the surroundings vigilantly, then took out the key to open the door, and disappeared into it all at once. Shiro followed him and ran to the door, but unfortunately, the door was locked.So Shiro walked around the building, but all the windows had their shutters down, and there was no gap to get in.In desperation, Shiro turned back to the front of the door.At this moment, the sound of knocking on the wall came from nowhere, and Shi Lang was shocked, and quickly put his ear on the door. I can hear it, I can hear it!There is no doubt that it is the sound coming from this bungalow.Boom, boom, like the sound of knocking on the wall, followed by the sound of slamming, slamming, digging the earth. ... Logically speaking, there is no one else in this house except Mr. Wan Wan. If Mr. Wan Wan made this sound, then what is he doing? Shirou listened quietly for a while with his ears sideways.But as he listened, he suddenly realized that the sound did not come from inside the building, but seemed to come from underground.I get it, I get it, there must be a basement in this bungalow.However, what is Mr. Wan Wan doing in the basement at this time?When Shiro was feeling uneasy about being unable to understand the mystery, a voice suddenly came from the opposite side: "The head of the house, the head of the house!" As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Mrs. Juanzi's voice.Shi Lang was startled, and hurriedly hid behind the house, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Mrs. Juanzi. "I said, where is the head of the house? You are such a weirdo. You have been running out of the window with me behind your back every night. You think I don't know, but I know everything. I said, the head of the house!" Mrs. Juanzi came to the door muttering alone.She was suddenly stunned there, as if she also heard the sound coming from the ground. Mrs. Juanzi probably stood there blankly out of fear, and then she calmed down a bit, as if she understood something, and continued to mutter: "Ah, I see! You are looking for the hole! A few days ago, the two children in the isolation room suddenly disappeared for one day, but they came back the next day. At that time, I always felt as if I was fascinated by the fox. Yes, but after a closer look, there may be a tunnel in that isolated room. Hmph, I thought about it too, this house turned out to be Baron Guliu's mansion!" When Shi Lang heard the last sentence of these words muttered by Mrs. Juanzi, his heart couldn't help beating non-stop. He calmed down a little and thought carefully: Ah, so it is.Sure enough, this house is related to Baron Guyanagi, so the two children locked in the isolation room... there is no doubt that they are Miyoko and Tatsuhiko... "However, you are really a weird person. You can find the hole as soon as you find it. Why didn't you tell me? Why did you secretly come looking for it alone behind my back?" Mrs. Juanzi seems to have a habit of muttering alone, and she feels uncomfortable when she doesn't talk to herself or speak out inappropriately.At this moment, she didn't even know that there were ears beyond the wall—Shi Lang was eavesdropping.He continued to mutter to himself: "Whenever you make such a move, I know what you want to make a fortune. You want to make a fortune behind my back! Do you think that there is money hidden in that tunnel? Or is Baron Guliu hiding something there? Precious things... oh!" The lady stopped suddenly at this point.Then he huddled into a ball like a stone, thinking about something silently.After a while, he suddenly shouted again in a trembling voice: "Ha...haha...gem!" Then, like a madman, he seized the door and shouted recklessly: "The head of the house! The head of the house!" She knocked on the door frantically again. Taking advantage of this gap, Shiro slipped back to his own room from the back of the isolation room.At this moment, a crisp bell sounded with the wind: when! --when! --when! —— When Shiro heard the bell, he held his breath in surprise.Because Shiro has heard this bell every day since he came here, but he never even dreamed that it would have any special meaning.But today, think about it in connection with the soliloquy heard by Mrs. Juanzi just now... Immediately thought of: there is a church near Baron Guyanagi's mansion in Takanawa, and this place is also owned by Baron Guyanagi, and there is also a church near it... Seven bells—seven Virgins—seven boxes—Shiro was even more puzzled when he thought of these. The next day, Mrs. Juanzi's complexion was extremely ugly.Looking at her red, bloodshot eyes and dark circles, it proved that she didn't sleep last night.In the morning, when delivering breakfast to Shiro or the little fat man, he didn't say a word well, as if he was worried about something. Shi Lang tilted his head and thought about what happened after he left there last night.What made him even more strange was that he hadn't seen Mr. Twilight since early in the morning. Shiro used those papers with circles and triangles drawn on them, and put them where the little fat man could find them to get in touch with the little fat man.At first glance, these circles and triangles can only be regarded as the scribbles of a madman, but in fact they are all signs of connection.It was by means of these codes that they communicated subtly and without suspicion by anyone. ——The isolation room is suspicious, you and I will check it together tonight. After Shi Lang finished writing the code note and put it away, he searched around the hospital, but unfortunately, there was no fat man anywhere.I searched every nook and cranny in the yard, but I just didn't find the little fat man. Unexpectedly, when he reached the innermost part of the yard, there was a leisurely bang, bang beating of drums from outside the wall, as if someone repairing wooden clogs had come nearby. Hearing this voice, Shirou couldn't help but widen his eyes.He looked around nimbly, took out a paper and a pen from his pocket, and drew some circles and triangles on it as usual, then twitched it in his hands for a while as if nothing had happened, and unconsciously With a whoosh, a small paper ball was thrown over the wall. At this time, outside the wall, there was indeed a clog repairer wearing sunglasses who was setting up a stall there, and was changing the clog teeth with a dull head.Suddenly a small paper ball fell in front of him. The shoe repairman quickly looked around, picked up the small paper ball smartly, opened it, and it read: "Is there a church near here? If so, please pay more attention." After the shoe repairer finished reading, he glanced left and right from the inside of the sunglasses, quickly tore up the small paper ball, picked up the pick, and didn't know where he was going. Judging from the series of actions of the shoe repairman, it is conceivable that he is Usami Kyosuke in disguise. Let's not talk about it for now.Let's say that after Shiro got in touch with Kyousuke, he continued to look for the little fat man, but the strange thing was that there was no little fat man anywhere.Who would have thought that the little fat man was entangled with Mrs. Juanzi at this time, enjoying a delicious meal. "How about it? Zhaoji, is that candy delicious? If you don't like candy, there are chocolates! ... What, I like everything? Oh, Zhaoji, you are greedy enough! But, it's not a problem, you can eat it Do you want cream-filled desserts?...Also, what would you like to have for lunch? Sixi rice or Western food, which one do you like?" It's simply unbelievable, such a greedy miser, Mrs. Juanzi, why is she so generous today?The little fat man also felt a little suspicious, but the little fat man was by no means the kind of child who would shrink back.He unceremoniously ate the snacks that Mrs. Juanzi brought up.And following Mrs. Juanzi's words, she said: "I like both kinds of rice! Sixi rice is very good, and Western food is also good! I also want to eat eel rice bowl, and I also want to eat fried prawns and buckwheat noodles. Auntie, can you let me eat them? I really want to eat them." Be happy, and don’t forget the fruit after dinner.” "Oh! My child! You eat so much, you're going to burst your stomach!" "Never mind, my belly is made of special stuff. If you don't believe me, try everything! . . . Oh, auntie, bring me the custard!" Mrs. Juanzi sighed deeply.How do you think such a child is entangled?But Mrs. Juanzi, who had ulterior motives and other plans, didn't want to upset him about this matter, so she put a table of sumptuous meals on the dinner table at noon: Western food, Sixi rice, eel rice, There are fried prawns and buckwheat noodles... To Mrs. Juanzi, spending so much money is like cramping her tendons, but the little fat man is really unceremonious. want: "What about the fruit after dinner?" Mrs. Juanzi was so troubled by him that she didn't say a word for a long time. "Yes, yes, yes! Everything is ready!" While peeling the apple for him, the lady said: "Zhaoji, tell me, Auntie is kind enough to you! I've prepared so many delicious people for you, I'm afraid you can't find them with a lantern! Zhaoji, you have to thank Auntie! , eat apples!" The little fat man asked while nibbling on an apple: "Auntie, what do you mean by thank you?" He still asked Mrs. Juanzi with an extremely mischievous expression. "Thank you, just want to know grace!" "Well, so I know you're kind!" "Is it just gratitude? Don't you want to repay your kindness? Zhaoji, those who forget their kindness are not human beings, but animals!" "Well, I'm human!" "Heh, heh! Then do you want to repay your favor? Zhaoji, you are so smart. So, Auntie just likes Zhaoji. Then I can ask you one thing." As Mrs. Juanzi spoke, she moved closer to the little fat man.The reason why Mrs. Juanzi prepared so many delicious things for the little fat man at the expense of cramping and skinning, what kind of ghost is she harboring in her heart? ...
