Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Dark Crossing

Takahara Yoko, who came back from Lie's house in Meicun, understood that her husband's disappearance had nothing to do with Lie.Due to the interference of Rie's father, she broke off her relationship with Koichi Takahara, and under the "surveillance" of her parents, she has not left the house for a month. It looks like there was no connection between Takahara and Rie either.If there had been contact, Rie would not be so surprised.Yoko saw that Rie's shock and sadness when he knew that Takahara's whereabouts were missing was not fake. (So ​​where did the plateau go?)

(And why is he hiding it?) He abandoned his wife and left. If there is a reason, it can only be considered to be for Lizhi.But Lie knew nothing about the plateau. Does he have a third woman besides Rie? "impossible!" Yoko immediately dismissed the idea.He still cared for his wife and children at home, and poured such passionate love into Lizhi, that he would never have the energy to love another woman again. Or is it just acting with Li Zhi? "No, that's not the effect that acting can achieve!" Although Yoko was dissatisfied, she had to admit that the love between Takahara and Rie was serious.Although she didn't ask her husband directly, judging from Lie's expression and her father's conversation attitude, Takahara's love for Lie is sincere.Therefore, he also expressed to Lizhi that it was difficult for him to make up his mind because of having a child.He didn't deceive Rie's father in this regard.

Since Meicun also realized that Takahara really loved Lie, she made up her mind to forcibly break up the couple. At present, it cannot be considered that Takahara has a new love after losing Rie.Gao Yuan is not the kind of man who can change lovers as quickly as changing TV channels.But the mystery of his disappearance is indeed puzzling. Yaozi imagined several possibilities, but they were all denied by herself in the end.So she decided to talk about the matter with Gao Yuan's boss, Section Chief Ando, ​​and then call the police. The company did not understand the reason for Gao Gao's sudden disappearance.He has no trouble at work.Yoko apologized repeatedly in front of Ando as if it was her own responsibility.

But if a missing person notice is put forward, there will be no clues at all.The police believe that more than 100,000 people run away from home every year. Even if they accept the case, the actual situation cannot be confirmed. The police only asked about Gao Yuan's appearance, what he was wearing when he left home, etc., and promised to search for it, and then persuaded Yaozi to go back.At the same time, because he was worried that he would commit suicide, he also sent a notice to the police in each tourist area, but if it was a disappearance that had nothing to do with Riede, in this case, he would probably not commit suicide.

If you want to die in love because you can't get married, you generally walk with your lover, or at least say goodbye to your lover before committing suicide, which is inconsistent with the fact. Therefore, the notice of missing persons on the plateau can only be a general notice to the police in surrounding cities to search for this person.But for Yoko, it's better than not being accepted. Yoko came back from the police station and found that there were guests waiting for her in front of the door. "Ah, Miss Rie!" Yoko's house lives on the third floor.As soon as she reached the stairs on the third floor, she found someone standing at the door of her house.When she saw that Jing was Lizhi, she was very surprised, because she never thought that Lizhi would come.

"Have you been waiting for a long time? I'm sorry, because I didn't know you were coming." "No, it would be presumptuous to come here suddenly." The two women were thus having a wonderful conversation at the door.Because they should be rivals in love, they are incompatible rivals on both sides of the plateau. But at this time Yaozi hurriedly found the door key from the handbag, ready to let Lie in, and Lie's expression was also very happy when Yaozi came back. There is no hostility between the two, and they regard each other as the friend who can best understand and soothe their sadness.

"Ah, come in quickly, you are tired of waiting for so long." Yoko quickly opened the door and welcomed Lie in. "You can finally go out!" "I said I would go to the company to apply for unemployment insurance, and then I came out." Li Zhi looked curiously at the first time he stepped into the house of his loved one, and said to Yoko. "I'll make tea right away." "You're welcome, madam." "I went to the police station to submit a missing person notice in Gaoyuan, but they said that there was probably no result, but it was better than not being accepted!"

"So, there has been no Mr. Koichi... no, the whereabouts of Mr. Gao Yuan?" When Rie realized that it was inappropriate to use a pet name in front of Koichi's wife that was only used when she was with Koichi, he hurriedly changed his words. "Where does it seem to have gone?" The two of them looked at each other and sighed deeply.The two picked up their teacups one after another, and took a sip of the freshly brewed tea.But they couldn't suppress their uneasiness about the disappearance of that "common" man.This strange silence lasted for a long time.

At this moment, the common need of the two women to bear the pressure that one woman cannot bear, turned the former "rival in love" into a "comrade in arms", and the resulting peace of mutual trust filled the two. However, this could not calm their nerves, and this calm under the weight would soon collapse. Even so, this brief peace made Yaozi forget the depression of losing her husband. (Am I confused?) Yaozi suddenly felt that his calmness was a bit inconceivable.Lizhi came to the door worried about Gao Yuan's affairs. It is a bit ridiculous to say this: Lizhi is the rival in love who took away her husband.In order to find her lover, she openly found her lover's wife's home; and as a "victim", she also received it with peace of mind.

Rie's visit was to announce to herself that despite Kogen's disappearance, she still cared deeply about him.This should be unacceptable to Yoko. But Yoko welcomed her, and didn't arouse any hatred in her heart.Perhaps this should be a shameful thing for a wife, but she does not have such a sense of shame. Instead, she has a feeling of being dependent or having an "ally".The event itself is anomalous.And this visiting Rie is also unusual.The friendly affection expressed by their intersecting glances is unreasonable.But they are as eager to be companions as a helpless person who suddenly sees a like-minded person.

Although it was not the soldiers who were injured together who were healing the wounds and licking the blood for each other, but because the wounds of the other party were also deep and blood was flowing, they felt sympathy. "I know it's very rude of me to come today..." Lie said while sipping tea while trying his best to ease the embarrassing situation that might arise. "Since I don't know the whereabouts of Mr. Gao Yuan, I want to look for it seriously." "Looking for the plateau?!" "Yes. When Madam came to my house a few days ago, I realized that Mr. Gao Yuan didn't come home. Madam was very angry at that time. The matter between me and Mr. Gao Yuan was really rude. But Mr. Gao Yuan really didn't say anything to me. Hiding away, of course you won't believe it. Because of this, my father and I also fell out. So, once you have news about Mr. Gao Yuan, please tell me, and I will also..." "Understood." Yoko interrupted Rie's words.Just hearing her "deeply loving" concern for her husband made Yoko unbearable. Rie didn't realize that his confession hurt Yoko's feelings, but he just confessed his opinion.But she did tear Yoko's wound again, probably because she was still young. But Yoko didn't want to "lose" Lie at this time, even though she knew that Lie had hurt herself, but at the same time she knew that the blow to Lie was also very serious. "But you're looking for it, how can you find it?" Yoko followed Riede's topic and asked. "Mr. Gao Yuan is a very well-behaved person." Not only Lie is aware of this, but of course, as his wife Yoko, he also understands Takahara's character very well.Because of this, she was even more worried about Gao Gao's whereabouts.Since he got married, he has never gone anywhere without saying goodbye in his work unit and family. Rie went on to say: "Madam said last time that the last day Mr. Gao Yuan left the company was around 7 o'clock." "right." Yoko didn't tell Rie about this.But when she went to Lie's house that day, Lie had been hiding outside the door and eavesdropped on the conversation between Yoko and Meicun Tokuzo. "So, Mr. Takahara went somewhere on his way home after get off work that day." Rie had to preach to those she loved as casually as she did to others.In fact, her heart is also very painful, but Yoko can only allow it to this extent.Because at present, Yaozi, as a wife, cannot tolerate another woman saying her husband's name in an intimate tone, this is her minimum right. Rie knows this very well, and she must keep in mind not to show her feelings for Takahara in front of Yoko, even though it is very cruel to her. "So can it be considered that Mr. Gao Yuan didn't go somewhere on his own initiative?" "Didn't you take the initiative? It was forced by something..." Under Rie's prompt, Yoko suddenly felt a field of vision opened up in front of her.She had to consider whether her husband's disappearance was kidnapped. Unlike children and women, a grown man can be kidnapped?Yaozi really didn't think about this from the beginning.Moreover, Gao Yuan is a man who likes sports, has a relatively strong body, and is not a person who obeys and accepts the force of others. So there is no news about Gao Yuan so far. Is it true that an accident happened to him in order to resist the invasion of gangsters? Why?what is this?Yaozi, who was used to a life as peaceful as water, could not believe that any misfortune would happen to her husband.He never fights with people, nothing like that will ever happen! Except for the love affair with Lizhi (of course, it is absolutely forbidden to Yaozi, but he does this kind of thing secretly), Takahara is still a well-behaved person. But this just "confirmed" what Lie said, because Gao Yuan would not succumb to the evil forces, which would lead to an unfortunate incident for himself, and has disappeared to this day.Other than that, there is no other explanation. (Why didn't I realize this earlier?) Only after Lizhi mentioned it directly did he become suspicious. Doesn't it mean that his greed for comfort, neglect and arrogance towards her husband unknowingly reduced the sensitivity that a woman should have? No, that's not the case.After her husband disappeared, she immediately thought of the existence of "another woman" as a wife.Apart from the fact that "this woman" is Rie, it is not conceivable that there will be "another woman".A husband's love for his wife is more important than expressing it in words, it is a sense of responsibility and stability.And this kind of stability is care and compassion, not love. For Rie who loves a married man, this kind of stability was not or was not needed from the beginning.Of course, she and Gao Yuan are seriously in love, but it is a love that "tramples" human ethics.She wants to avoid people's eyes and ears, which is a kind of uneasiness that no one can find out once.This kind of love is deformed, but it is more exciting and thrilling because it is forced to hide. This is the love game rules that girls of her age like.Therefore, that kind of love will "burn" a fiery love every time they meet. It is impossible for the wife of a betrayed husband to develop passionate love for her husband.The stability of the wife (even if it is an illusion) prevents this enthusiasm from burning. The "other woman" who is burned physically and mentally by the troubles of unstable and unrealistic love may use some force to force the man she loves to disappear. Lie has this kind of "braking" effect on Takahara, but Yoko also understands that this incident was not done by Lie.And Yoko also knew that even though Takahara left Rie without saying goodbye, this did not weaken Rie's love for Takahara in the slightest. Although his wife's status has not been shaken, Yaozi already feels that she has become a "barren love" like chopsticks without any colorful colors. Such a wife is different from a woman with a "heat source" and a "burning body". Yoko realized from Rie's feeling that she had failed. "For Madam, is there any clue that Mr. Gao Yuan will have such a situation?" "No. Takahara is not a hated person, and Ms. Lie knows this very well." "But will there be any special circumstances? Could it be that he wants to contact but can't?" The more they talked, the more they developed in the direction of "kidnapped from the plateau".But what is it that makes Gao Gao unable to get rid of his shackles and connect with his family?Ominous thoughts flashed in Yaozi's mind one by one. "I thought about it this way. Could Mr. Gao Yuan's restricted freedom be somewhere between his home and the company?" Yoko also finally understood what Riede meant.I am so stupid!It has become the number one "wooden head" in the world. "That is to say, if we investigate the route to and from get off work on the plateau, we may find some clues? Madame, why don't we look for it together? Maybe we will find some clues along this route. Compared with one person, two people Your vision should be wider and more accurate. Madame, please allow me to search with you! Please!" Yoko walked around the table between her and Rie and came to her side: "Miss Rie, thank you." Yaozi temporarily gave up the idea of ​​finding a husband with a rival in love, and was about to agree when she suddenly felt someone at the door, as if her son from kindergarten had returned. The route to work in Gaoyuan is as follows: Depart from the home in a residential area in the capital, take the subway K line S station to Shinjuku, and then transfer to the central line to Tokyo.During the walk, there are two sections from home to S station, and from Tokyo station to the company.Compared with the distance between these two sections, the section from home is slightly longer, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk on the plateau. Due to work, Gao Yuan has more opportunities to go to dinner and discuss business, but he often goes to restaurants in the city center and bars in Ginza.Yoko just knew that he used to go to bars that "spend your money".But places like that aren't what the plateau was born to love. Both Yoko and Rie understood this very well.Yoko thinks it is a pity that her husband has Rie besides her own wife, but at the same time she is confident that her husband will not have another woman besides Rie. After breaking up, Lie will immediately throw herself into the arms of another woman.Rie also has this self-confidence, and her self-confidence is similar to Yoko's. She has such confidence in front of the wife of the man whom Rie loves, which shows her trust and understanding of Takahara. Therefore, she believes that Gao Gao's disappearance is caused by other reasons, and this reason can only be found from the working relationship. However, Section Chief Ando said that he has searched all the business-related places that Gao Yuan has been to, and there is no clue. Is Ando lying?Yoko, the boss who is her husband, has met him several times, and he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who lies. Gao Yuan also respects Ando very much.He often boasts to Yaozi that he "is often taken care of by his superiors".This business trip to Europe was also agreed upon the strong recommendation of Section Chief Ando. Is Ando's investigation not rigorous?But he called around 11 o'clock that night, saying that he was asking if Gao Gao was there because of work.Because some work will be affected by Gao Yuan's absence, Ando should try his best to find Gao Yuan. Still got nothing.Then it can only be considered that the plateau is still missing in the events related to "life".Where did the plateau come into life?If so, what is life like? If this is true, then it is very likely that he was drawn into an unknown life circle somewhere on the way from his home to the company. If there is a third circle of life besides his relationship with Lie, then it can also be said that he may have a fourth circle of life. Most of the way to work in the plateau is in the commuting tram. The time to go home is not fixed, but the time to go to work is basically fixed.Sometimes I go out at 9:00 a.m. one or two days a month, but most of them leave the house around 7:30 a.m. Moreover, Yaozi heard from him that when taking the tram, she usually boards the two or three carriages behind.But the most suspicious thing is that Gao might disappear on his way home from get off work.The morning commute is the peak period, and the off-duty time is quite rich.The life of a single employee only changes greatly when he gets off work at night. Plateau's "last departure from the company" time is around 7 pm.That night there was no business dealing with other agencies, no date with Rie (after breaking up with Rie), and no telling Yoko that she would be back late that day. It was later confirmed that Takahara and Section Chief Ando went to Tokyo Station together that day, and Takahara, who was supposed to take the Chuo Line, broke up with Ando, ​​who was going to take the subway, and walked towards the station through the underground passage. There is no further information on where he went afterwards.The company and family, including Lizhi, have never received any contact from him. According to what Lizhi said, this seems to be a relatively sure direction to find the whereabouts of the plateau, but it also indicates that this incident may develop in a worse direction. "Nothing happened from the company to Tokyo Station. From the words that he and Mr. Ando went to Tokyo Station together, it can be concluded that. However, after he broke up with Mr. Ando, ​​did he really get on the train? Or was he in front of him? Ando's face made him watch him walking towards the station, but actually went somewhere else?" "If it wasn't his will, he was kidnapped." Rie believes that if there is another woman in Gaoyuan, then he will meet "her" on the tram, or meet "her" after getting off the train.Of course, maybe he didn't get on the tram at all, and went to his "fourth circle of life". If this was not the case, then he would have taken the same route to and from get off work as usual.Yoko also has the same opinion. "Although we don't know which tram Mr. Gao Yuan took, we can roughly get on the tram during that time and walk along his commute route?" Rie suggested to Yoko.Since she is still under the "surveillance" of her parents, she is not free yet.And Yaozi said that she would put the child in her mother's house, and then tried to find it according to what Li Zhi said. "If there is any news, please let me know." Rie added another sentence.She hoped that Yaozi would not be disgusted.It seems that Rie's request is a bit strange.Because of the relationship between Gao Yuan and her, due to the opposition of her family, she has begun to split.So after that, I had no choice but to give various suggestions to the wife and the plate who were planning to find a husband, and then begged her to inform me of the news she got.However, this strange relationship was something she had no choice but to do. Thanks to Gao Gao's disappearance, the two women were able to get close. Yoko got on the tram from Tokyo Station at around 7:00 pm every day.But nothing for a few days.She thinks there is nothing special during this period. The station, the flow of people, and the scenery outside the car window have been the same for a few days without any change. When Yaozi thought of her husband repeating such a monotonous process every day, she couldn't help feeling sorry for him.Every day, he goes into the "pig room" that connects the company and his family, repeating the boring itinerary, and he doesn't know how depressed he is. How boring life is in this monotonous repetition.Yoko herself also worked as a company employee.After interrupting that kind of life for a long time and suddenly entering the carriage, I immediately imagined the commuters flocking together in a simple, uniform and expressionless manner, and then thought of how boring life on the plateau is. Is it because the plateau is tired of this monotonous life and is looking for a new life?Yoko suddenly realized this possibility from the expressionless indifference of these commuters. What would she think if Lie was there?Isn't it because of her that the life on the plateau is more exciting and colorful? But today the plateau lost this colorful life!A month after losing this passionate life, he suddenly disappeared. Yoko doesn't think Takahara is the kind of person who finds another woman a month after losing a woman and enters another life circle, but what if he really reclusive after losing Rie? From Yoko's point of view, these commuters are enduring this boring life.No, not patience, but forgetting this boring life in patience.You can clearly feel this from their expressions.That is to say, a person will gradually wear away his feelings in the boring repetition process every day, and become a cold-blooded animal that does not respond to any stimulation. So none of them will feel the pain of this life.Rather than saying that they are enduring, it is better to say that as human beings, they have a strong instinct to adapt to the external environment. Takahara has revived his innocent virginity because of his love affair with Rie; and because of losing it, restoring it will hurt him a lot.Perhaps the bleeding in the depths of the spirit is not serious, but after all he wants to stop the bleeding and heal the wound. Yoko seemed to see the blood flowing in and out of Gao Yuan's heart, and at the same time desperately tried to stop the bleeding with her hands. Rie also knows that Takahara's trauma is deep.In this regard, she is no less than Yoko as his wife.Because Takahara's injury is also Riede's injury.The same blood spurted from the same wound. Unlike Rie, Yoko doesn't seem to see that her wounds are connected with her husband's.Since her husband's wound was torn apart by two women, Yoko knew that she could not heal her husband's wound. To heal the wound, you have to find a hand other than the husband and wife.The husband endured the pain face to face, and went out of the track of life to find someone who could heal his wounds. Didn't Rie also express her inner unease?Just this point, in order to eliminate the uneasiness in the hearts of the two women, Yaozi must stand on the "front" with her. But if Gao Yuan "disappeared" according to his own wishes, then Yoko would be out of reach no matter what.Before the disappearance, there is a new world of her husband.Therefore, in this sense, what Yoko and Rie present in front of them is an endless and vast horizon. "I haven't reached the point of despair yet!" Yaozi was admonishing herself.From the very beginning, she had no intention of finding her husband's footprints in the carriage.She couldn't determine which compartment her husband was in, and she couldn't leave any special marks under the "trampling" of many passengers. No matter how you look at it, the faces of the passengers on the tram are not the same every day.It is impossible to faithfully reproduce the same scene in the same environment. But his walking path is almost "residual" in the same state.Even though it is affected by the changing natural conditions of wind and rain, the land remains unchanged. Yoko gave up on the search for the commuter train.She decided to look for it on the path her husband was walking.For most commuters, the walking path is basically the same. Yoko carefully observed her husband's commute to and from get off work like a microscope.She repeated it several times, and the road from home to the station has been stepped on many times by the residents here, but she still took the trouble to follow the flow of commuters in the morning and evening after get off work, to confirm the specific route that her husband might take. According to this road, it takes Yaozi twelve or thirteen minutes to walk from home to the station.10 minutes is enough for a man.This is the shortest path. To be on the safe side, she found another road that people often take, which is slightly longer. But there are thousands of people working in this community, and if there is no special event, she will not take this road far away. of. However, no trace of a possible plateau could be found on these two roads.At this time, the neighbors finally realized that Gao Yuan hadn't shown up for many days, and Yaozi's strange behavior in the past few days. Xianyi also misses his father very much.This made Yaozi very embarrassed.She finally began to despair.The only consolation for her is talking to the neighbor's couple. "I said, the light bulb in the toilet is broken, can you buy one for me from the street when you come back from get off work today?" "Aren't there any shops in the neighborhood?" "Oh, they only have fluorescent lights." Yaozi had just returned from sending Xianyi to the kindergarten, and when she was walking at the door, she heard the conversation between the neighbor couple.Immediately after hearing this, she walked into the room, closed the door, and leaned stiffly against the door. On the morning of the last day Gao Gao went to work, he himself said the same thing to him. "I said, there's no more coffee at home. If you don't have anything special today, don't forget to buy it from the street." There are food stores and supermarkets in the community, but it is troublesome to go there specially.You have to walk 10 minutes to the shops around the station to get the kind Yoko is used to drinking. Supermarkets in the community also have instant coffee, but those who want to buy coffee beans or special coffee pots must go to the street to buy them. A shop in S-cho has a variety of coffee, instant, coffee beans.Plateau likes to drink coffee, which is absolutely indispensable at home. Because the family was gone, Yaozi asked Gao Yuan to buy it when he got off work.Takahara nodded in agreement that morning. The shop specializing in coffee beans is a little further away from the center of S Town.If you go to that store, you have to take a road that people don't usually take. (If he was going to buy coffee, he should have gone that way.) The plateau circles so far because of this "special thing".So Yoko immediately went to that shop. "Is it Mr. Gao Yuan? I saw him. Around 8 o'clock, he bought a newly imported African coffee." The shop owner replied. "What day is it?" Yoko asked holding his breath nervously. "Wait a minute. The coffee beans were just approved that day. Let me look at the ledger." He walked into the back room and came out with a ledger after a while: "Ah, I see! Mr. Gao Yuan came that day. He bought I took 100 grams and went home happily." That day was the day when the plateau did not return overnight.Gao Yuan has indeed come to this shop. The time of disappearance was the time between the shop and his home, and it seems that his disappearance was not his intention. A person who intends not to go home will not agree to his wife's request and actually buy something to take home. So the road from the coffee shop to home became the focus of Yoko's observation.At first she pays much attention to the left side.But found nothing.The next time she looked to the right side again, she still found nothing. (Is it a cover for him to go to the coffee shop?) Yoko had this question.But she immediately dispelled the doubt.He didn't need to create such a pretense.Because there will be no neighbors in this area.From the coffee shop to the house is a narrow north-south road through the crop fields.Halfway through a railway crossing; after this crossing is an asphalt road parallel to the railway. Yoko began to wonder if there might be a car accident here.But if it is a car accident, many people will definitely come.Originally, this area was full of crops. Later, with the expansion of urbanization, it gradually took on the appearance of a city.In the past, every household worked in the field in scattered and sparse ways.But there are still not many pedestrians at night. From the coffee shop to the neighborhood, there is no other way but this road.But I didn't find any clues here... (It has been several days since Gao Yuan disappeared, so even if there were any traces left at that time, they are gone now, right?) Yaozi gave up completely, and repeated several times of searching all ended in vain.On this day, Yaozi dragged her legs that seemed to be filled with lead and walked back to the community. Just as she was about to walk to a fork in the railway, a tram whistled suddenly.So she took a few steps back and waited for the tram to pass.After a while, with the roar of the tram, the tram drove over. The speed of the car was very fast, and a strong wind was rolled up after passing by.Yaozi let out a terrified "ah", and quickly covered his head with his hands.But the scarf blew up with the huge wind, flying in the air. Fortunately, the scarf was not blown too high, and it fell in a patch of grass between the tramway and the asphalt road after a while.Yaozi hurriedly walked towards the grass, was about to pick up the scarf, and accidentally glanced at her feet, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock. There are a few pinches of chocolate-colored powder under his feet.She suddenly felt a heat in her head.She quickly stretched out her hand to pinch it, then put it close to her nose and smelled it.There is a definite coffee smell to it, although some dirt. Perhaps it was not discovered because it was sprinkled in the grass next to the tramway.Fortunately, the "wind" blew the scarf, otherwise it would not have been found. "He's been here before!" Yaozi stared at the coffee powder in her hand, and was stunned for a moment.It's only a few minutes away from home.Her husband disappeared right under her nose.Where did he go? "Look again, maybe you will find some clues!" Yaozi gradually returned to normal, determined to look for this area again. Coffee powder fell to the roots of the grass.Probably because of the scouring effect of rainwater after the disappearance of the plateau. Yoko took out the tissue paper she carried with her, and collected the coffee powder.Occasionally, people in the passing vehicles kept looking at Yoko in the grass: they felt that the appearance of a housewife squatting in the grass was strange. But she doesn't care what other people think.With coffee powder found beside the road, she has to reconsider her connection to Kogen's disappearance. There are quite a few people who like to drink coffee, maybe someone will just throw it away.Only by ascertaining whether the powder is the new one from that store can we determine whether it is a plateau. So she planned to take the powder to the coffee shop for "identification". As many days had passed and it was blown by the wind, this amount was far too small.Maybe too few to identify, so she looked for it in the grass again in earnest. "Hey, what is this?" Yoko found that the soil in the grass had pressed a small piece of paper.Yoko picked it up carefully.There was still coffee powder on the little piece of paper.It still looks solid. This is a piece of paper cut from a newspaper. It has probably been discarded for a long time, and the paper has turned dark brown.If it wasn't for the coffee powder, it would have looked like blood! Yaozi accidentally glanced at the back of the piece of paper again, and couldn't help but see again: the back of the piece of paper is not soil, but a lot of coffee powder. The coffee powder on the back may be that this piece of paper just touched the coffee powder on the ground.The piece of paper may have been thrown from the window of the tram, or the wind may have blown the piece of paper over from the side of the road and stained it. But what Yaozi paid most attention to was someone's shoe print on this piece of paper.The man's weight must have been on the piece of paper, staining the ground coffee underneath. So, the coffee powder dropped in the grass, and a piece of paper was "covered" on it, and then someone stomped heavily on it. Was it all accidental? (Did these three things happen at the same time?) If yes, then it must have something to do with the plateau. (That way, that piece of paper might still fall out of Plateau's pocket. With coffee!) So Yaozi looked at the piece of paper again and again.This is a flyer for an apartment builder soliciting funds. "You will be the owner of the apartment!" This is a very touching sentence.And there are several reasons why the investment is so good. Yoko remembered the name of the boss of this company.Some time ago, it was reported in the newspaper that this apartment construction investment company deceived many people with sweet words, and then took a huge sum of money and declared bankruptcy and fled. After her husband disappeared, Yoko never read the newspaper carefully.Seeing this piece of paper today, Yaozi couldn't help but think of it. This flyer looks like it was written before they went bankrupt.With so much printing going on, it's no surprise that one gets dropped here and there. But Yaozi paid attention to the date: it is said that the day when the company went bankrupt was around the time of her husband's disappearance. Maybe it was the same day, or just a day or two away from bankruptcy.This clue must not be ignored.If this piece of paper fell out of Gao Yuan's pocket, why did he have this thing in it? The husband and wife never talked about buying a house.The community they live in now is a low-rise building, and they are not interested in high-rise apartments. Is Gao Yuan going to buy it for Lie?No, he can't have that much money, and he didn't participate in this fundraising. Wasn't Gao Yuan's disappearance kidnapped by someone?Yoko remembered what Rie said again. (If it wasn't something from the plateau, it might have been from the kidnappers.) That is to say, Gao Yuan met someone in this place, and the coffee bought by Gao Yuan and the paper of that person fell in this place.The problem is after the encounter.Gao Yuan's whereabouts are unknown, it should be that something happened to him after the "encounter".
