Chapter 2 Chapter Two Tracing the Roots
Later, around noon, Section Chief Ando called again, saying that they had inquired with their frequent customers again, but there was still no whereabouts of Koichi.
There is also no news from his relatives and close friends.
As time went by, the smell of Haoyi's disappearance became more and more intense.
Before disappearing, Haoyi didn't show any abnormal behavior.Probably the "disappearance" that he and that woman had conspired a long time ago.They partnered to successfully cheat on their wives who were aware of their relationship.
It seems that Haoyi didn't intend to go out with that woman for a trip, have sex and disappear.If he was going to go away secretly for a few days and come back, he should have an excuse.And the fact that he disappeared without saying a word, would it mean that he didn't intend to come back?
"He's never coming back!"
The "emptiness" of her husband's absence made Yoko feel a sense of despair.
However, if he plans to "permanently" abandon his wife and children, he must prepare some money, right?He must have brought his usual items.
If the husband really doesn't come back anymore, then starting tomorrow, he must immediately consider his children and his own life.At this moment, Yaozi felt that she had become a mother, and she thought that she should check the family savings as soon as possible.
In fact, she should have been concerned about these things a long time ago, but because her husband's disappearance was so sudden, she suddenly forgot about these things.
The family has some savings from wages and bonuses.The plateau family has saved nearly 1.7 million yen since they got married.The family of a company employee can generally save 1.26 million yen, and the national average is only 1.6 million yen.Therefore, the savings of Gao Yuan's family are relatively high.
However, these deposits are accumulated six years after marriage, so it is also due to his wife Yoko.
Nominally speaking, this deposit belongs to the husband, but legally speaking, it is also jointly owned by the husband and wife.
If a husband has a lover, he should take it away secretly, and leave nothing for himself and his children.
So Yaozi gradually regained her composure, and returned to her original position of not being an abandoned wife.She immediately opened the drawer where the passbook was kept. There were not only the passbook, but also stocks, Yaozi's jewelry and other family valuables.
"Don't even take my things away!"
Yaozi saw that her diamond ring and jewelry were all there, and her stock and passbook were all neatly placed there.However, maybe he secretly withdrew the money and then put it back?
"Oh! 1695192 yuan! It's not less at all!"
Yaozi opened the passbook, and was very surprised when she saw the amount in the last column, and she remembered this number clearly.In other words, the husband did not move a penny.
"He left all the money to Xianyi and me?"
Could it be that he himself secretly saved a large sum of money that he didn't know about?Or maybe the woman is rich?
After confirming that her valuables were still there anyway, Yoko started looking for her husband's belongings.Maybe the husband will leave some "last words".
But miraculously, all her husband's belongings were left at home.The things in the suit cabinet seemed to be as untouched as yesterday.Shoes, tie, shirt, all are in the closet except for the one I wore to work yesterday.I still have the newly bought handbag and the aluminum case that I bought for a business trip to Europe.
What's important is that Koichi left home in his usual clothes, but Yoko didn't give up, she wanted to find some valuable clues in these things.But she still didn't find anything like the note in the end.From this point of view, it seems that it is not the planned "disappearance" that I expected at the beginning, but where did I go due to the impulse of emotion on the way home?
Judging from Section Chief Ando's words, her husband did not have any abnormal behavior in the company yesterday, so it should be said that Koichi did not "premeditate" to disappear.
"He must have been seduced by that woman and suddenly ran away from home!"
If so, he might be back in a few days.This little bit of hope remained in Yaozi's heart.
But Yoko, who knows her husband has always been well-behaved, can't be happy no matter what.Because even if a husband fell in love with a woman deeply, he would not leave his wife, children and work in the company and go away.
Judging from the husband's character, he shouldn't have disappeared on impulse, there must be other reasons hidden in it.
--what is the reason behind the scene?
As time goes by, Yoko thinks more and more in a bad direction.
Anyway, Koichi's disappearance must have something to do with that Phantom Daughter!Perhaps finding the whereabouts of the woman would lead to finding the whereabouts of the husband.
"Why don't you go to Shangri-La!"
It's not too late to call the police when you get back from there.And it is too early to judge her husband's disappearance at this time.
Yoko pinned all her hopes on "Shangri-La".
She took Kenichi, who was picked up from kindergarten, to Shibuya.Xian Yi, who knows nothing, hasn't been out on the street with his mother for a long time, and he was so happy that he jumped up and down all the way.
Probably any child will be like this, Xianichi also likes trams very much.The closer it is to the city center, the more various trams there are. Xian saw that he was dazzled and became more excited.
He didn't know why his mother had brought him out, and he didn't feel uneasy about the whereabouts of his father, who hadn't come home overnight.
Yaozi looked at his son who was excitedly staring at the tram, and a pity and sorrow suddenly surged in his heart.
(He didn't know that his dad had abandoned him. How traumatized he would be if he knew that he and his mother were tracking down his dad!) "Ah, the green tram! And the one my dad bought for me Same!"
Xianyi didn't know the pain in his mother's heart, and pointed to a tram and shouted loudly.
"Shangri-La" is located in a corner of Shinnan Town.It can be reached by walking towards Shibuya Public Hall from the West Exit of Shibuya Station.There are tea shops and fast food restaurants in the Swiss mountain chalet style buildings that many young people like, full of rich exotic charm.
The "Shangri-La" on the opposite street is very conspicuous, and you can find it just by asking.It was only after Yaozi went that he found out that this "Shangri-La" also operates fast food.There are many kinds of pastry samples in its large glass display window, and it is also the specialty store of several pastry manufacturers.As soon as Yaozi entered the gate, behind the counter was a room with high steps, with colorful tables and sofa seats inside, and the faint colorful lighting made the place more romantic and warm.
There are almost all female customers here.The decoration color of the interior walls is also the beige color that ladies like.
Yaozi suddenly realized, she finally understood why her husband came here to buy dim sum.He was "meeting" with that woman here.
Maybe the waitresses here will remember what the husband and the woman looked like.
"Ah! It's the snacks my father bought!"
Xianyi pointed to a kind of dessert on the counter and said excitedly.It was a snack with the unique shape and color of "Shangri-La", so Xianyi remembered it very clearly.
"Axian, do you want that snack?"
"Well, doesn't daddy have to buy it every time?"
The child said it casually.But he didn't know that Dad might not come, but Yoko couldn't tell him that.
So Yoko walked towards the tea department.She asked the waitress for a cup of coffee?After she ordered another snack like that for Xianyi, she took out a few photos of Koichi and asked:
"Have you seen this man? I heard that he often patronizes this shop."
The waitress was taken aback when Yoko suddenly took out some photos, she looked at them carefully and shook her head immediately:
"No, I don't remember such a person."
"Do the other ladies know?"
Yaozi desperately asked.There are four or five other waitresses in the same overalls that can be seen in this shop.
"Oh, they're all new here."
the waitress replied.At this time, another guest came in and sat at a table next to Yoko.So the waitress hurried over to order some refreshments.It seems that she doesn't want to waste any more time with Yaozi.
"Please, this man is my husband, he is missing, please ask your colleagues!"
Yoko turned around and said to her sincerely.
Yoko's serious look made the waitress turn her head, and the word "missing" also aroused her interest.
"Okay, I'll ask, please lend me the photo."
After taking the photo from Yaozi, she wrote down the refreshment that the customer asked for just now, and walked towards her colleague.
——No, I haven't seen it, I don't know it.
Seeing them, Yoko shook her head one by one and said to the waitress.
Yoko almost collapsed when she saw the last waitress also shook her head after being asked.Maybe the waiter who met Koichi happened to be away today, but Yaozi seemed to have no confidence to ask again.
Yoko, who had nothing to gain, was crushed by this first setback.
"No one has ever seen it!"
The waitress said to Yoko with an apologetic expression and returned the photo.Yaozi accepted the photo after thanking her.Hyun-il, who had finished his snacks, stared at his mother's hand and exclaimed in surprise:
"Ah, it's Dad's picture! Did Dad come back today?!"
He suddenly asked Yoko.Yoko, who was extremely depressed, replied angrily:
"Your father is not coming back today because he was sentenced to death!"
"It's so pitiful that your father was sentenced because of work!"
Yaozi added another sentence.At the same time she suddenly remembered another clue.
"Axian, wait here for a while."
After she finished speaking, she got up and went to the bakery in the tea department, where she showed her husband's photo to the people there.
The staff in the bakery also shook their heads after seeing it.When Yaozi was feeling helpless, an older clerk who came out of the bakery also came over to look at the photos.
Finally someone responded for the first time.
"Have you seen this man?" Yoko asked hopefully.
"I don't know if it is this person, but I have seen a customer who looks like him in the store. But he wears glasses."
Maybe he wore glasses for makeup.
"Is he alone? Does he have a female companion?"
Yoko asked as if grasping a glimmer of hope.This is the only silver lining.If it is broken again, it may not be found anywhere.Yoko's "enthusiasm" aroused the clerk's curiosity,
"Ah, yes. Usually he comes with a beautiful young lady of twenty-one or twenty, frowning. It's always the young lady who buys the cakes, and the gentleman pays for them, and sometimes he asks for more. Three or four muffins. By the way, you all remember, that is the couple who usually meet at around 6 o’clock on Fridays and come back after 9 o’clock to buy snacks and go home! Is it similar to the person in the photo? No glasses."
The clerk asked and looked at his colleagues.
"Is it Friday at six o'clock?"
Yoko couldn't help raising her voice.The eyes of the clerks and customers were all attracted, Yoko didn't seem to care about it.
"It's the guest. The husband in the couple must be the person in the photo. Where did they go from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock?"
The clerk was a little confused by Yoko's inquisition.Yoko realized something from their expressions, so she changed her tone again:
"Does that lady live nearby?"
"Probably not, she is wearing out clothes."
The older shop assistants seem to be observing more carefully.If the "Daughter of Phantom" lives nearby, she can come here in her usual clothes.Or when she came here after get off work, or when she sent Koichi out at 9 o'clock, there was no need to change clothes.
If the woman lives nearby, there is no need for her to meet here, and the man can go directly to her house, which is quick and easy.
Yaozi also wants to ask again, if the woman's house is not nearby, then there must be a place in this area where they can have a tryst.
So Yaozi decided to pursue the victory, and she asked again:
"Is there anything in this area where a lover rests?"
The elderly clerk smiled slyly. Although she seemed to be a married woman, it was still somewhat embarrassing to say it from her mouth.
"If there is, I will find it myself."
"However, there are many in this area."
It turned out that she looked embarrassed because there were too many things in this area.
"I remembered something."
A young male shop assistant aged seventeen or eighteen suddenly interjected.
"what's up?"
"What's wrong?"
Yoko and the elderly clerk looked at the clerk at the same time.He suddenly felt a little embarrassed:
"Sometimes, that gentleman calls the public phone and says he is going to some restaurant."
"what name?"
"I didn't hear it very clearly. It just said 'I usually go to the mimosa'."
"'Usually go mimosa'? What do you mean?"
"It must be the name of a room. You can find it if you look for a hotel with a room with this name."
The young clerk rolled his eyes and replied.
"Understood. Excuse me! I'll do it myself later."
Yoko thanked the shop assistants and left the bakery.For such a long time, Yoko almost forgot about Xianichi.
Judging from their meeting at Shangri-La, their tryst must have been somewhere around here.It seems that they often tryst like this.In order to maximize the use of time, it will not be too far away.
After Yoko left "Shangri-La", she was walking in this area.Advertisements should be visible around if there are restaurants nearby.
"Mom, where are we going?"
Xianichi, who was holding Yoko's hand, asked.Probably he felt strange about his mother's appearance today!
"Well, I'm not going anywhere. I'll go home after a while."
Yoko coaxed Xianichi, who was tired of seeing the surrounding scenery, while looking at both sides of the road.
At last she saw a road sign.An ornate billboard on the exterior wall of a building reads:
"Hanao Hotel has a shower for 2,000 yen for 2 hours." Judging from the sign, this hotel is 30 meters ahead.Yoko saw a hotel-like building beside the avenue ahead.She wanted to call the restaurant and ask, otherwise it would be difficult to go in with Xianyi.
She copied the phone number on the billboard and went to a public phone booth.Yaozi dialed the hotel's phone number, and the other party answered after a while.
"This is Hua Weng Hotel."
After hearing the other party's voice, Yoko asked if there was a "mimosa" room.
"Yes. This is a warmer and quieter room than home." The other party replied.
Yoko suddenly held his breath.She finally found a place where her husband and the "Phantom Daughter" had a tryst.
If you go to "Hua Weng", you will definitely get all the evidence of that woman, and if you find that woman, maybe you will find out the whereabouts of your husband.
Maybe the husband and that woman "live" in this hotel!Yoko was going to ask again.
"Excuse me, is there a guest named Takahara Koichi in the hotel?"
"Is it Mr. Gao Yuan? Huh?"
After the other party finished speaking, he hurriedly changed his words:
"No, no."
Yaozi clearly heard that the other party knew Koichi Takahara, they must think that Yaozi must not be the female companion brought by Koichi, so they hurriedly denied it.
It seems that the husband still uses his real name to check in.This courage is too big!He must think that his wife can't find it here, that's why she is so "presumptuous".
"This is enough!"
Yaozi replied angrily and hung up the phone.
"Ah Yin, should you go find your father now?"
Yoko said firmly to Xianyi.
"Go to Dad? Is it to Dad's company?"
Xianyi thinks that his father is still in the company.Yaozi didn't want the innocent child to be involved in this heartbreaking marital entanglement, but Yaozi couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
She planned to take the child and break into the room of this ungrateful man who had no regard for his family, no wife and children.
She wants the children to always remember the ugly and embarrassing scene of her husband. This is the wife's revenge.But what kind of trauma it will bring to the child's heart, Yaozi has no time to take care of it at this moment.
"It's not going to the company, it's nearby!"
Yoko held Xianichi's hand tightly, and walked towards the Huaon restaurant 30 meters away.
The entrance of Hua Weng Hotel is not luxurious, it doesn't look like a restaurant at first glance, its style is very ordinary.There is a notice board at the gate with a breakdown of the costs of accommodation and short breaks.But anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is a place designed to provide services for that kind of men and women.
There are also ordinary residences around the hotel.If you bring your child in like this, will you be rejected?But at this time, according to her mood, even if she came to the prostitution cave, she would not hesitate to break in with her child!
She opened the door and walked into the restaurant.This restaurant is a typical ryokan.The walls on both sides are Japanese-style earthen walls, making the corridor very dark, and further inside is a hall. It seems that this building has been around for a long time.Maybe walking in like this can completely disguise the real face, and this kind of antique architecture is more and more applied to motels.Because it is more convenient for "couples" to stay here.
Yaozi didn't know if there was anyone inside, so she called softly, and immediately a woman in her 50s with an elegant temperament came out.
"welcome."
While talking, she looked suspiciously at Hyunichi who was being held by Yoko.
Probably no guests with children here yet.When Yaozi heard the woman's "welcome", she immediately remembered that she was the one who answered the phone just now. "I want to see Gao Yuan." Yaozi said unexpectedly.
"what?!"
A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the woman's face, as if she also suddenly understood that Yaozi was the one who called just now.
Yoko could tell from her expression that her husband was indeed here.
"I am Gao Yuan's wife. My husband should have lived here last night. Because he was absent from work without reason and did not go to work in the company, many people have been alarmed. Where is my husband? Please let me meet."
Yoko shouted loudly.She believes that even if it hinders the other party's business, as a wife, she has the right to do so.
"He hasn't been home since last night?" The woman turned from confusion to suspicion.
"Ma'am, are you mistaken? We can't do anything even if he comes to such a place without telling his wife. So I'm very sorry, Mr. Gao Yuan does come here often, but I haven't seen him in the past month, and since yesterday He wasn't here during the night until this morning. It's true. It's not for us to answer everything about our guests, so your call just now was a real misunderstanding."
The woman's expression did not show any deceit at all, but if what she said was true, where did her husband go?
"Does my husband often bring his girlfriends?"
"This..."
The other party's words were a little vague.But it's true from the looks of her.
"His home is in the city center, there is no need for a person to spend money to rest in this place!"
Yoko smiled sarcastically, realizing that her smile might be uglier than crying.
"For us, we can't get involved in all the private matters of the guests. The wife was too excited when she called just now. This is a misunderstanding, because your voice is very similar to that of Mr. Gao Yuan's female companion."
said the woman.This person is indeed a veteran in this field, and she cleverly shifted the responsibility for her mistake to the guest's wife.
"My voice is similar to Gao Yuan's female companion?"
"Yes, very sweet and soft."
"Don't be kidding me!"
Yoko thought that the other party was playing tricks on her.
Is it sweet and soft when a wife who is full of jealousy and anger to catch her husband "rape" calls? !
"I'm not kidding, so I say I made a mistake!"
She said sincerely.This made Yaozi feel ashamed all of a sudden.It seems that I am not myself who broke into her husband's indecent place with the child.No matter how angry I am at this time, it has nothing to do with the child.But in order to avenge her husband, the child was also involved.
Presumably at this moment, my expression must be as ugly as a hysterical patient.
In the eyes of this woman who is used to scenes of love and hate between men and women, she must think that it is natural for such a wife to be dumped by her husband.
"Anyway, I didn't see Mr. Gao Yuan last night. If you are still worried, madam, should you look for other clues?"
The woman's voice sounded very sympathetic.But Yoko had no other clues.
"Please, my husband may have gone hiding somewhere with that woman. If you know where that woman works or lives, please let me know."
"Working place and residential address?"
The woman looked a little puzzled.
"Have you registered for accommodation?"
"Because there are very few guests staying, we generally don't register."
Presumably guests who live in this kind of place hate being checked in.Because they only came here for "reasons", so both parties agree with each other, and there is no need to register.
"But at least it has my husband's name?"
He does make appointments under that name a lot, but I think maybe it's a fake name.
Since the guests who come here do not use their real names, if the husband uses his real name, maybe the woman also uses his real name.
"What does my husband call that woman?"
"It seems to call her 'Little Li'."
The woman replied with a look of "finally remembering".
"Xiaoli?"
Yoko repeated the name in her mind, thinking maybe it was her real name.And she thought that she had finally caught the shadow of the "Daughter of Symphony" here.
But this is too little, just having this "clue" is useless.
"Is the 'Xiaoli' you mentioned just a surname?" Yaozi asked again.
"No, usually he always calls 'Xiaoli, Xiaoli'."
Even Yaozi's little hope was shattered by the opponent.
"What is that woman named 'Xiao Li'? What are the characteristics of her appearance and body? What other small characteristics does she have? She should know a lot about my husband, right? Now I have no other way to find it except to find that woman My husband is gone."
Yaozi continued to question without giving up.
There are no clues to Koichi's whereabouts from his leftover items in Koichi's room, and if the woman's address is known, it is possible to find clues to where her husband went.
Maybe the husband is still living in that woman's house.
"But this..."
The woman had a troubled look on her face.Judging from her professional requirements, she was also unable to answer Yoko's question.Because it is not only related to the privacy of the guests, but also involves their own interests.
But it was the real wife of one of the couple who broke in here today.She thinks her husband is missing and is determined to find him at all costs.Then suddenly the woman felt a sympathy that transcended her professional responsibilities.Especially when she saw Yaozi bringing a five or six-year-old child here, she felt more pity in her heart.After a pause, she spoke:
"It looks like that person is relatively pure and kind. Her eyes are slightly sad, which makes people feel a little depressed. She is twenty-two or three years old, especially from the skin of her neck and hands, it can be seen that she is very young .”
This woman is worthy of being a veteran in this field, and she is very careful in observing words and demeanor.But these have no distinguishing features.After Yaozi asked again, she said that the woman was neither fat nor thin, with fair skin, a round face, and her hair was combed back into a ponytail.
But after talking for a long time, that woman still has no special characteristics.For example, where there is a mole or something.
These are still abstract descriptions.The "Daughter of the Phantom" was still in the fog.But other than that, the woman couldn't come up with anything worthwhile.
"Is the room called 'Mimosa' available?"
Yaozi had lost all hope, but she suddenly remembered this and asked again.
—Look at the room her husband is using, maybe you will find some clues——
"Empty is empty," the woman replied.
"May I have a look at that room, please? I can pay to use it."
It is a very cruel thing for a wife to go to the room where her husband is having fun with other women, but when things come to an end, Yoko has to do the same.At the same time, she realized that Xianyi had brought all of them, and if she missed this step, she would regret it for the rest of her life.And taking the child to that room, it will be a kind of balance psychologically.The woman thought for a while, then nodded immediately, and walked inside with Yoko.This corridor is very quiet, there seems to be no one.After a while, they crossed a small stone courtyard and entered another corridor.
"Mimosa" is in this corridor. The inside looks like a Japanese tea room, with the size of four and a half straw mats, and it is an inner and outer room.It seems to be a bedroom inside, and the bedding on the bed can be seen.
The bathroom is a little further inside the bedroom.
For a moment, Yoko seemed to see the ugly scene of her husband having crazy sex with that woman on that bed.She withdrew her eyes in shame, and turned to the tea room outside.There is a black plant wood table, two chairs, TV, refrigerator in the tea room, and the green in the courtyard can be seen from the round window.This is indeed a secluded and hidden love nest full of warmth.It was the first time for Yaozi to "deep" into the interior of this kind of restaurant, but she also immediately understood that her husband and the woman chose such a place was indeed full of a romantic relationship between men and women.
Xianyi, who was already bored, ran to the TV and picked up the phone to play.This is not a direct-dial telephone, with no dial on it, but an old-fashioned telephone that must be switched by a switchboard.
Without waiting for Yaozi to stop, Xianyi picked up the microphone curiously, and a question came from it.
"Xianyi, you can't!"
Yaozi rushed over and quickly snatched it from Xianyi, and then said "Hello" to the microphone.
"Sorry, I made a mistake."
After Yoko finished speaking, she hung up the phone.Suddenly a thought flashed through her.
——Did the husband also call when he was here?After the two of them secretly love each other, maybe he will remember what else he forgot.So Yoko remembered that sometimes her husband called late at night.Could that call come from here?
(Maybe the husband called, but the woman probably did too, so the switchboard should have their numbers!)
After asking and answering herself, Yoko immediately asked the woman.
"Our switchboard is very small. Usually, calls are transferred to the service desk, and the service desk is responsible for external contact."
"Is the transfer person there?"
"Ah, let me call."
Because she has time now, and she has developed curiosity and sympathy for this matter, she has become Yoko's sympathizer.
She immediately disappeared into the depths of the corridor.After a while she brought a fat woman in her 40s.
"Because I think it's better to ask directly, so she also came."
After she finished speaking, the fat woman replied:
"I remember the phone number, but I don't know who is calling. Because as soon as the other party comes to answer the phone, we connect the phone with the guest."
Since this kind of restaurant does not want to arouse guests' resentment against the possibility of listening to the switchboard, once it is connected, the connection will be closed immediately, and the two sides of the guest will talk.
After Yaozi asked for the phone number and wrote it down in the notebook, she decided to go home immediately.But the woman did not accept the room fee paid by Yaozi.It's not because she was embarrassed, but because the wife's husband did this kind of thing. As the hotel staff who provided this kind of opportunity, they must have a kind of "redemption" mentality.
Yaozi originally wanted to continue to track down the owner of this phone number, but because Xianyi was around, it was really inconvenient, so she decided to call it a day.
And although at this moment I am eager to know who the other party is, but this will arouse the other party's suspicion. If the other party refuses, then the clues I have finally obtained will be lost again. Yaozi also thinks that he has no right to check through the telephone office The owner of this phone number must therefore consider a surefire solution.
I had to hold my breath, and slowly find out what was the relationship with that "little profit" woman by finding the owner of the phone number.
The street has been shrouded in darkness.Usually at this time, I am busy with my husband who has just returned home.However, today I am holding the hand of the child and walking on this unfamiliar street.She eagerly searched for her husband's whereabouts, and at the same time, a feeling of "abandoned wife" quickly came to her heart.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Xianyi, who was being led around by his mother, started to cry.
Early the next morning, after Yaozi sent Xianyi to the kindergarten, she began to look up the phone number she got from Huaweng Restaurant.
Yaozi first judged whether the phone number belonged to the woman's company or her family.If it's from her home, it's easy to find her by calling at night; if it's from the company, the chances of finding her after 9 o'clock will be greater.In order not to alert her, she decided to make a phone call first.
If Gao Gao had been hiding in that woman's house, the number would not have belonged to her house.It is very likely that the call was made to someone other than the woman, such as her family and so on.Because that's when the husband is with her.
However, it is impossible for her to let her family know that she is with a man.Or just call and contact the administrator of the apartment?But why is this necessary?
(Can't wait until evening anyway, try it now.)
Yoko made up his mind. Around 9:30, she dialed that number.Her fingers trembled a little.When she realized that the phone number was the woman who had taken her husband away, she couldn't calm down no matter what.
After the bell rang three times, a female English voice came over, and Yoko could only hear the word "company" in the last sentence.
Yoko was waiting for a question in Japanese.So she was at a loss for a while.She learned English when she was a student, but since she almost forgot it after becoming a housewife, she didn't realize it all at once.
"This is the blood processing company."
Probably the other party realized that Yoko didn't understand English, so the other party repeated it in Japanese.This is a Japanese woman.Maybe it's a foreign trading company, so usually answer in English first.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask something. Do you have a lady named 'Xiao Li' there?"
Yoko asked cautiously.
"Is 'Xiaoli' a surname?" the other party asked again.
"Ah, that's how it's called anyway, maybe it's a surname, maybe it's a first name?"
"There is no person named 'Li' in our company. There was a person named Meicun 'Li'zhi."
"Maybe it's her. I want to ask her."
"Miss Meimura has resigned."
Yoko was stunned for a moment.She must be the "Daughter of the Phantom"!She resigned from this company, she must have hid somewhere with Haoyi!
It was Yaozi who also understood why the other party said the past word "has been".
"When did she resign?"
"Ah, wait a minute."
The other party paused and replied:
"A month ago."
"A month ago?!"
Yaozi was stunned.The husband just disappeared, and the woman quit her job a month ago!Did this drama start a month ago?
