Chapter 8 Chapter 7 The visitor used to know each other

Yamagata Nao also lost an opportunity in an instant.Hamano saw the whole process not far away. "I'm ashamed to see you!" Yamagata pleaded guilty to Hamano, but Hamano did not blame Yamagata.He said: "It's nothing. You can't do it recklessly. If you can't kill him, he will hide in the den and never come out again. There will be opportunities. This kid, Kakuya, took another life." Yamagata thought: I was the one who took my life!That night, as soon as Yamagata entered the house with his arms full of flowers, Mayumi ran to meet him. "I'm so glad you're back! Ah, so many flowers, thank you! Why do I feel as though you're never coming back?"

Mayumi's cheeks were stained with tears.Yamagata also felt uncomfortable seeing her like this.How could he tell her that he was blocked by an old woman selling flowers during the assassination, and bought all the flowers when he got angry?No, the florist didn't get in his way, but the florist saved his life. "If there is something wrong with you, I won't be able to survive." Although Yamagata didn't reveal a word about his affairs to Mayumi, Mayumi seemed to have noticed something. "I won't have any problems. I'm not a war photographer. I can't live without you. Promise me to be with me forever!"

"Do you want me to be with you forever?" "Yes, you promise me." "Before I promise you, I have a request." "If you have any request, just tell me." "You're such a blunt!" As Mayumi said, she threw her warm and gentle body into Yamagata's embrace. "Mayumi!" "You said you would never let me go!" "I will never let you go for the rest of my life." As Yamagata said, he couldn't help lamenting the shortness of life.The meaning of his life lies in the existence of Mayumi.When he thought of this, his desire rose.

The requirements for each other are very strong, breaking through the mental barrier of abstinence like a tsunami.The floodgates of lust had already broken, and the two embraced tightly. That night, the two broke through the taboo for the first time and joined together.The desire of the two became more and more intense, and they played until the next day.After the libido was exhausted, the appetite came violently. The address of the owner of the clothes storage card is the apartment where Yumiko stayed.The main reason for the loss is that he really lived there, but he left the sign near his home, which is of course not surprising.But if he doesn't live there, then...It is said that the owner of the brand was between twenty-five and sixteen to thirty years old, with a long, pale face, and a very handsome man.

Kiryu immediately returned to Belheim Shoto's apartment.Next to the gate of the apartment is the collective mailbox and nameplate of the residents, but there is no name of Hiroshi Amada. Kiryu asked the management staff again, and the answer he got was that there was no such person here. Is he using a pseudonym?Why is it necessary to use a pseudonym when storing things in a hotel locker room?Maybe just the address is fake?So why? Kiryu wanted to ask the godson, but unfortunately she had guests at this time, so Tongyu had to make an appointment to come again.Although the godson said that he would not accept the person he likes as a guest, but those who make an appointment can see her first.

It was still early before the appointment time, so Kiryu decided to go back to the apartment first and tell Xiong Ze the results of today's half day. When I went back to the apartment, Xiong Ze was not there, neither in the toilet nor in the bathroom.Last night, no, it should be said that the travel bag he brought when he came this morning is still there.He probably wanted to go out for a while and come back.Tell him not to go out.There's really nothing you can do about him. If he is arrested, Kiryu will also be implicated for the crime of harboring.Doesn't he know this?He took the risk to hide him, but he..., Kiryu thought of this, very angry.

Xiong Ze was supposed to come back soon, but he never came back.what is going on actually?Have you been arrested?If he is arrested, the police will definitely come to Kiryu to find out the situation. Was it because he was arrested because he thought of the kindness of "one night, one meal" and didn't confess the things he hid here in Kiryu? While anxiously waiting for Kumazawa's return, it was time to make an appointment with his godson.But because he was always thinking about Kumasawa, Kiryu didn't want to go.Kiryu thought to himself that Xiong Ze might have left a note when he left, but he searched everywhere but couldn't find it.It has been two hours since Kiryu came back.Xiong Ze left before he came back.It doesn't look like you'll be back after going out for a while.

"You daredevil, what's on your mind!" Kiryu changed from anxiety to anger, and then to anxiety.Something must have happened to Xiong Ze, but it didn't look like it fell into the hands of the police.Was there a traffic accident?Ordinarily he wouldn't be that stupid.Besides, the car accident news will be reported. Kiryu checked Kumasawa's purse before calling his former colleague Yamamoto at the police station to find out.It is taboo to rummage through other people's things, but he doesn't care about that much now. The things in the leather bag, one can tell at a glance that they were stuffed indiscriminately in a very urgent situation.There are clothes, laundry utensils, pocket items, and about 300,000 yuan in cash.There was no way he would throw down so much money and walk away.Something must have happened.

Just as Kiryu was about to pick up the receiver and call Yamamoto for news, the phone rang.He picked up the phone and listened, it was Kihara Godson calling. "I know you surprised me by making an appointment." "Sorry, I'm about to call right now to cancel my appointment." "Is something wrong?" The godson has already noticed the abnormal atmosphere. "Xiong Ze is gone." "oops!" "It's been more than two hours, and his purse is still there." "what happened?" "Something must have happened." "If the police arrest him, Mr. Kiryu will be in bad luck too, right?"

The godson understands the nature of hiding Kumasawa. "I don't think he was taken away by the police." "What's the matter?" "I don't know, but I have a bad feeling." "May I come to your place now?" "Are you still busy?" "I rest, we are freelancers, relatively free." "What about the appointment?" "You don't have to worry about those things." Thirty minutes later, the godson came, and came in a hurry. "You came so fast, I was afraid you would get lost! Maybe Xiong Ze will call at some time, so I can't leave here."

"I know this. When I heard you talk about Mr. Xiong Ze's situation on the phone, I understood. You have cleaned up here very well!" The godson scanned the bachelor's quarters, wondering how clean it was. "You are the first woman to visit me here." "Didn't you just move here?" Kiryu lost another point. Kiryu told his godson about Kumazawa's disappearance and what he learned at the Royal Hotel. "That person's name is Amada Hiroshi..." Kiryu said. The godson seemed to be remembering something. "Do you have any clues?" Kiryu asked. "Hiroshi Amada, it seems that once he called to name Yumiko, I conveyed it." "is that true?" "I don't know his name. His surname is either Amada or Hamada. I can't remember." "That's him, yes, have you seen him?" "No, because he named Yumiko, I'll transfer the call to Yumiko immediately. Ah, please wait." From the godson's expression, it can be seen that she remembered something. "What's the matter?" "At that time, I heard the name of Kitamura Naoki being called from the speaker behind Amada through the receiver. Because I know this person, I remember it very clearly." "Naoki Kitamura? I seem to have heard of this name before." "He's a writer, and I love reading his work. I was surprised when I heard his name on the phone." Although Kiryu has not read his works, he has heard that he is a socialist writer. "When did that happen?" "Yumiko quit doing what she did about a month ago, so it's about a month and a half ago now." "Don't you remember the exact date?...I want to ask where Kitamura Naoki was at that time." Kiryu said. The godson understood what Kiryu meant. "Please wait a moment, let me think about it." The godson pressed his hand to his forehead, as if searching for data in the memory bank. “That’s when it’s over. It’s been said that late May to early June is the best time to travel. … A guest brought me Shinto noodles, a specialty there, from Kamikochi. When was that guest Where did you come?..." The godson found the data. "Remember, it's May 27th." Hearing what the godson said, Kiryu sighed and asked: "How do you remember it so clearly?" "I remember when I answered the phone call from Amada, I saw the Shinto noodles that the customer gave me and put them next to me. I took the Shinto noodles home that night. I can be sure that the day Tiantian called, it was my customer The day I came—May 27." "Okay, I'll call Kitamura Naoki right now." Although Kiryu put forward his resignation letter, he thought he might not be a policeman, but the resignation letter was still in the hands of his boss.He wanted to call Beicun in the name of the police, so it wasn't impersonation. "What's the matter?" Kitamura said on the phone.The other party believed Kiryu's words. "I think Mr. went to a place like a coffee shop at around 5 pm on May 27th. Do you remember the name of that shop?" "May 27? Let me check my diary." "sorry to trouble you." Beicun seemed to have gone to the back room for a while, and said on the phone after a while: "I found it. On May 27th, I was in a cafe called 'Unknown' in front of Shimotakaido Station to discuss things with the editorial staff. It's really not very good there, but because it occupies a good location, I often go there .What's the matter with you asking?" Kitamura seemed a little surprised to ask him about the trifles of his life that he had forgotten about a month and a half ago.But he still answered Kiryu's question truthfully. "I want to visit the unknown cafe in Shimotakaido right now." Kiryu said to his godson.Kiryu looked at his watch. "Shall I go with you?" said the godson. "But, what if Xiong Ze comes to contact us when we're not around?" "Do you want me to be on duty at home for you?" The godson showed a startled expression. They just met yesterday, but it seems like they have been together for a long time. "Anyway, you have rested for me today." "If he wants to call, he will always call. If you are afraid that he will come back, why don't you write a note for him?" It seems that the godson still wants to go with Kiryu, and Kiryu has no choice but to agree.They drove an old Corolla car to Shimotakaido.It didn't take long to find Unknown Cafe in front of the station.Probably because of the location, there are many young people here.Because the station and the railway are forced into the residential area, the front of the station, though small, is crowded with restaurants, cafes, pinball machines, movie theaters, etc.The streets are also very narrow. Unknown Cafe is a two-story building with a counter and teahouse downstairs.A middle-aged man with a mustache was sitting at the counter, who seemed to be the boss here, and he was making coffee for the guests.Because it is located in front of the station, guests come and go, bustling.Kiryu and Godko sat by the counter, waiting for a chance to talk to the boss. The telephone at the cash register rang, and a girl answered it, put the receiver down on the table, and shouted into it: "Mr. Yamanaka's phone number from Matsubara." That was the voice the godson heard on the phone.Not long after, there was the sound of footsteps going downstairs. "I'm Shanzhong, do you have my phone number?" The man spoke loudly.Kiryu and Godko looked at each other.They kind of understood what Beicun meant by "it's really not that good" here.But the coffee the boss made for them tasted extraordinarily mellow, and the two looked at each other again. The mustache boss took a look at them as if to say, "How does it taste?" "It tastes great." The godson deliberately speaks so that the boss can hear.The boss smiled.Here comes the chance to speak up. "Mr. Amada Hiroshi introduced us to come here." "Do you know Mr. Amada?" The boss said happily.Kiryu suppressed his excitement and said: "I heard he lives around here. Do you know his address? We haven't seen each other for a while. How is he?" "Mr. Amada lives in the Xiwangzhuang apartment in front of him, but I haven't seen him recently. I heard that he has moved." "moved!" After finally finding this place, it seems that it will fail again. "Do you know where he moved to?" Kiryu asked, holding back his frustration. "I hope the owner of the village may know." The boss finished and went to make coffee again. Kiryu and Godko asked for the address of Nozomi So, and walked out of the Unknown Cafe. Hope Village is a two-story mobile home apartment building.I don't know where the owner lives or which house Tiantian lives in. They randomly knocked on a door with a light on the window, and a man in pajamas poked his head out. Kiryu asked him which room Amada lived in, and the other party replied curtly: "Tiantian moved out a long time ago." "Do you know where he moved to?" "I don't know, he never interacts with others." "Which room does he live in?" "Room 201 upstairs is now occupied by someone else." After the other party finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.Kiryu and Godko had no choice but to leave here and walk towards Room 201.They know that the new residents probably won't know where the old ones are going.Anyway, it's already here, so go ask and try it. The light in room 201 was still on, and when the door was knocked, a woman's voice asked from the room: "Who is it?" "We want to inquire about the old residents here..." As soon as Kiryu explained the purpose of coming, the people in the room seemed to gasp, it seemed that they knew the situation of the old resident. "We have nothing to do with him." The other party showed a flat refusal attitude.Before any questions were asked here, they said "it has nothing to do with him", just because there is no money here, which means that they have something to do with the old residents. "It won't take you much time, could you please open the door a little bit?" Kiryu still refused to give up.When he was patrolling the police, he encountered uncooperative opponents, and that's how he didn't relax. "What's the matter with the old residents here?" A man's voice spoke from inside the door and opened it.The man stuck his head out through the crack of the door. "I'm really sorry to bother you at night. I heard that the previous occupant of this room was Mr. Amada Hiroshi..." Kiryu's tone was low. "Who are you from Tiantian?" The young man stared at Kiryu and Godko intently.The woman who spoke first was peeping from behind the man.The eyes of the woman and the godson met.The two exclaimed in unison: "Yumiko!" "Godson!" The two stood there motionless. "Oh, it turned out to be an acquaintance!" When the master said this, the young woman behind him covered her face and ran into the innermost part of the room.It is said to be the innermost, but in fact they only live in a one-bedroom unit. The Yumiko they were looking for turned out to be the new resident after Amada Hiroshi moved out.what on earth is this kind of happenings?Kiryu and Godko stood outside the door blankly as if in a fog. "You go! You go! I don't know!" Yumiko said in the room.The host who was wondering, heard what she said, and said as if suddenly enlightened: "Since she said so, you can go back today." After speaking, he closed the door.
