Chapter 19 Chapter Nineteen
Chang Yu picked up the phone and listened.
"I'm Jim"
"What's the matter with you? . . . "
"Can you come out right away?" Jimu asked hurriedly.
"What's the matter?"
"I'll go to a place with you right away! Why don't you go to 'Takita' today?"
"I see. Where are you now."
"I'm in front of Shibuya Station, a coffee shop called R, I'll wait for you upstairs."
Changzi hung up the phone, washed and dressed hastily, feeling agitated.
Jimi, who is usually very cautious, asked her to go out so hastily, and ordered her not to go to Takita today, because there must be something important waiting for her.
Jim must have had solid information.
Jim was waiting for her upstairs at R's coffee shop.The light coming in from the window made his face look a little pale.
"I kept you waiting for a long time."
Before Masako sat down, Jimu couldn't wait to say. "Everything is clear." Jim leaned his elbows on the table and leaned out to face Masako.
"what--"
Changzi watched Jim's face, and couldn't care about his own expression in a moment of emotion.
"what happened?"
"I'll talk about the details later... Now you go to a place with me."
Jim looked at his watch.
"Let's go first. I have something to say on the way."
Seeing that Jimu was in such a hurry, Changzi hurriedly stood up from the chair.She followed Yoshiki on the Inokashira Line from Shibuya.Jim bought a ticket for her and sat till the terminal.
"When you get there, change to a bus," Jim said. "We're going to a mental hospital."
"Psychiatric hospital?" Masako couldn't help being surprised.
"Yes. When you arrive at the psychiatric hospital, you can tell Mr. Otomo."
"Is Mr. Otomo in a mental hospital?" Masako asked again.
"Yes, he was hospitalized there as a mental patient."
"Uh?--"
Otomo Ryosuke surrendered himself to the police authorities due to international espionage, was held in the detention center for two days, and was released.Why did he suddenly become a psychopath?
"When you go to the hospital to look for him, at first they will say that there is no such person." Jimu said: "At this time, you must insist and say that you are sent by 'Takita', and you will work in Takita. The proprietress told you to come. They will let you in."
"What do I do when I go in?"
Changzi was confused, as if in a fog.
Jimu lowered his head, as if he was considering some method.Masako waited for him to speak.
"What's wrong with Otomo? Why did he go to a mental hospital?"
Perhaps he suffered from neurasthenia while being locked up in the detention center.
"Dayou didn't suffer from any illness." Jim raised his head and said.
"That……"
"He's just hiding out in a mental hospital."
"He's not sick. Will the hospital accept him?"
"Normally he can't get in, but this hospital has a special relationship with Otomo. To be clear, Otomo is the undisclosed operator of this hospital."
"Hey, what's going on here. Isn't Otomo the president of the tourist club?" Masako asked with rounded eyes.
"That's his public title, but in fact, this club does not exist. Or on the surface, it is said that it will run a hotel or a tour bus in the future. This title is a disguise."
The more Changzi listened, the more confused he became.The more I don't understand, the more scared I feel.It wasn't just because the name of the mental hospital left a gloomy impression on her.It was Masako's undetectable conspiracy and the fact that her husband and sister were put to death that filled her with unspeakable horror.
The tram has reached its terminus.
"When we arrive at the hospital—" Jim told Masako while waiting for the bus: "According to the order just mentioned, you can meet Otomo Ryosuke. The problem is that when you meet, something unexpected will happen to you."
"What's up?"
"I can't say the details yet, but based on my imagination, they might give you an injection."
"Injections? What's this for?"
"Yes. They will give you an injection for a reason, but you don't have to be afraid, just let them do it."
"But, am I not sick?"
"You made it a point," Jim said. "Don't worry, I will help you when the time comes."
"Are you going later? So, don't you go to the hospital with me!"
"You go to the hospital first, I still have a little business to do. Anyway, I will get there before you get the injection. You don't have to be timid. Please trust me."
Masako still had many questions to ask, but seeing Jim's expression, it seemed that he couldn't make any further distinctions.There was a sense of tension about him.
The two got on the bus.
The bus was driving on a country road, and since Jim had bought the ticket for her, Masako couldn't figure out where to take her.The scenery outside the car window is not only the field road, but also the forest.
"The next stop is here."
After driving for forty minutes, Jim stood up and said. "Look! There it is."
Jimu pointed to the gloomy forest.A tall white wall appeared in front of him.
"I'm breaking up with you here, Chang Zijun! It's okay! You do as I say, calm down! Then please."
The high walls of the psychiatric hospital are lined with glass sheets.When Changzi saw the wall, he couldn't help feeling frightened.
She pulled herself together and stepped onto the gate of the hospital.
There is a signboard of "Donghua Hospital" hanging at the door.She couldn't believe that this hospital was run by Otomo Liaosuke, and there were several men and women waiting in front of the registration office.Among them was a woman with a terribly pale face, with frighteningly staring eyes. Unlike ordinary hospitals, this place was filled with a ghostly aura.
"I want to see Otomo, Mr. Jie."
Masako told the registration office according to Jim's instructions.A man-like nurse with a long face said that there were no such patients.Masako immediately took out the "Takita" signboard, saying that she was Takita's maid named "Yae" and that the lady boss sent her to see Mr. Otomo.
The nurse immediately changed her attitude and told Changzi to wait a moment.Immediately turned back to ask for instructions, and waited for a long time before returning.Masako imagined that Otomo must have taken a cautious attitude.
"Come in!"
The nurse took a pair of slippers and placed them at Changzi's heels.
Masako followed the nurse through the long corridor.This is a building that doesn't see the sun.In the corridor, there were two or three frail patients walking with difficulty under the support of nurses.
Climbing up the stairs, there are sick rooms upstairs.Changzi was terrified.But since we got here, we had to follow Jimu's instructions.
Coming to a room, the nurse knocked on the door.
Someone inside agreed, and Masako recognized Otomo's voice.
The nurse opened the door to let Masako in.
The room was very beautifully furnished, not like a sick room, but like a luxury room in a hotel.The floor is carpeted.A large desk by the window.Colorful curtains hang from the windows.
The first thing Changzi saw was the fat man sitting in front of the big desk.That's right, he is Otomo Ryosuke.
Dayou suddenly changed his face when he saw Changzi.He was about to question the nurse standing behind Changzi, when he suddenly changed his mind and waved the nurse to quit.
"Unexpected." Otomo Liaojie said to Changzi with a pleasant face. "I didn't expect it to be your wife...the nurse said it was the daughter of 'Takita', but I never dreamed it was Mrs. Horizawa."
"Long time no see." Changzi saluted him. "To tell you the truth, I am working in Takita!"
"Really? Is it true?"
Otomo stared at Masako's expression unexpectedly.
"When did you go?"
"It's been more than a month. This happened to Horizawa. I had no choice but to find something to do. It happened that 'Takita' was recruiting a maid, so I went so hard. In 'Takita' my name is Yae. "
"I don't know at all." Otomo Ryosuke said confusedly: "This is too unexpected. I often go to 'Takita', and it is impossible for the proprietress to show me the new maids one by one, so I told Ben I didn't notice... how should I put it, according to the old saying, where in life do you not meet each other..."
Dayou Liaojie pointed to Jizi.
"Please sit down, you can't stand and talk!"
"thanks."
Masako sat down in front of Dafa Jiejie.
"Just now the nurse said that it was Takita's maid. I always thought it was those people I knew well. I was really surprised when you suddenly appeared in front of me. I thought there was another maid coming. I didn't expect you, Mrs. It's the same person as the maid."
Only then did Otomo Ryosuke seem more natural and said with a smile: "I haven't visited you since then. Since what happened to Mr. Horizawa and your sister, I have been very sad. But I didn't expect that my wife's life would be difficult. , to become a maid."
"Yes. I don't want to cause trouble to my natal family." Changzi said, "Besides, I don't have any special skills, so I can only do this kind of rough work."
"Yes. After the death of your husband, you have to come out and find something to do, but the scope of occupation is very limited. I understand your situation very well." Otomo Ryosuke said sympathetically.
"Then, what's the matter with Mrs. Takita calling you here?"
"I'm sorry," Changzi lowered his head. "That's the lie I told in order to see you, Mr. Otomo."
"Lying?" Otomo Ryosuke raised his eyes.
"If I don't say that, I won't be able to see you."
"Well," Otomo Liaojie stared straight at Masako's face.His eyes were piercing.
"How did you find out that I'm here? It's quite a skill."
"I was working at Takita and overheard that you lived here."
"I see. Since you work in Takita, you should have heard about me and the proprietress. I don't need to hide it. It's not something shameful anyway." Otomo smiled wryly. "Then what do you want from me?"
Masako said nervously, "Horizawa and Reiko died for no reason, and I can't get rid of the knot in my heart. I don't believe they died of love. If they died of love, what is the cause of death?"
Masako said while watching Otomo Ryosuke's facial expression.
"I've been thinking about it and I still can't figure it out. I've asked many people, but I haven't asked you Mr. Otomo. Let's not talk about Horizawa's matter, and my younger sister Lingzi was taken care of by you in many ways before she was alive. I think you must understand my sister Lingzi's mood. But I have been unable to find you, and I am anxious. I heard that you live here in Takita, so I hurried here."
"I see." Otomo Liaosuke nodded, "Yes, it's completely understandable for you to be a sister. However, ma'am, I don't have a deep relationship with Lingzi. Once, Lingzi and I went to The apartment you live in is that Lingzi is so happy that he went out for a drive in my car. It is really difficult for me to answer your question." Otomo Ryosuke's answer was impeccable.
"Then, don't you know anything about my sister's death?" Chang Zi asked.
"I'm sorry. I really have nothing to say."
Having said that, Masako couldn't ask any more questions.
"Really?" Masako sighed, and leaned back on the chair dejectedly. She had expected Otomo's answer.At this moment, she only thought about why Jim didn't come?
"You came to me on purpose, I can't help you, I'm really sorry." Otomo Ryosuke comforted her. "You are understandably distressed by this misfortune. A sister is not saddened by the death of your sister. But it is injurious to your health to keep thinking about it. Besides, a man is dead. It’s irreversible, and it’s important to pay attention to your own health.”
Saying that, Otomo tilted his head and stared at Masako's face.
"Oh, madam, why is your face so ugly?"
"Really?" Changzi lowered his eyelids and smiled slightly.
"No, no, your face is too ugly, what's going on: I run this hospital, and I have a lot of research on people's health..."
Otomo Liaosuke finally revealed that he opened the hospital.This shows that he must take Changzi's sudden visit seriously at this moment.
"Ma'am, are you going home now?" Otomo asked.
"yes."
"Then I'll ask them to give you an injection, and your spirit will be fine!"
Changzi's heart was pounding, and the program of Jimu's prediction was already in front of him.
"You don't have to worry." Otomo Liaosuke was still watching Masako's expression. "The medicine works, just one shot and you're back to life."
"But……"
"Trust me, you'll be fine right away after you get the injection."
Otomo Liaosuke picked up the receiver on the table and said:
"Ask the head nurse!"
Dayou Jie gave the order, and said to Changzi with a smile:
"After a while, a head nurse you know will come. You should stay here for a while today!"
Otomo Ryosuke made a very happy look at Masako's visit.
There was a light knock on the door, and it seemed that the head nurse had been summoned.Masako turned her back to the door and couldn't see her face.
"Sorry."
Otomo Ryosuke stood up.The head nurse doesn't go in.Dayou walked towards her.Both of them were behind Changzi and did not enter Changzi's field of vision.
The door is closed.The head nurse accepted Otomo's instructions and went out.Otomo Liaosuke said to Masako in a friendly manner:
"I have ordered her to come, and she will come soon."
Otomo Liaosuke thought about it and said:
"There is no equipment here, why don't you go to the consultation room downstairs to make a diagnosis...I see that your complexion is not good, is there any discomfort? Maybe you didn't notice it yourself, and you don't know if you got sick unknowingly. What? So, as an early diagnosis, you might as well give it a try?"
It simply dragged her away without saying a word.There is a tinge of menace in the voice that speaks loudly.
Under normal circumstances, Changzi would have to resign as soon as possible.But Jim's words echoed in her ears.
"Then I will trouble you."
"You are welcome. This is our job. You can be casual. I will lead you there."
Otomo Liaojie walked in front of Changzi, and in the corridor, in order to cater to Changzi, he kept talking to her.
Changzi followed him, went downstairs and turned to the left, and there was a ward with iron bars.The light inside was dark and cold.
Otomo Liaosuke led Masako into the diagnosis room, which was a Western-style room with six beds, and exuded the unique smell of medicine in the hospital.
"Please!"
Dayou goes in first.A nurse in a white coat is facing inside, holding a syringe and sucking medicine.
"Please sit in this chair."
Dayou Liaojie waved his hand, and Changyu sat down on a leather chair obediently.
Changzi glanced around.There is a cot for examination in the room.But it is not like a general hospital examination room.Two glass cabinets filled with medical supplies and medicines.According to the scale of this hospital, this examination room is too small.
After a while, a young nurse came in, rolled up Changzi's sleeves, wiped her arm with alcohol cotton pads, and then tied her arm with a black rubber tube to search for blood vessels.This is a common action of intravenous injection.But at this moment, Changzi was so nervous that he couldn't speak, he could only hear his heart beating.
"Don't be afraid." Otomo Liaosuke comforted Masako, then turned to the head nurse and said, "Are you ready?"
"All right."
The head nurse holding the syringe first wiped the needle with absorbent cotton, then turned her head to Masako.
"Ah—" Changzi couldn't help shouting.
The head nurse smiled at her.
"Ma'am, it's been a long time since we saw each other."
It turns out that the head nurse is Kikuko Ono.
"Talk to you later."
Kikuko Ono smiled and approached Masako's arm with the syringe.
"You should be shocked! But this is what I do."
Kikuko grabbed Masako's arm.
"I'm a reporter for a women's magazine, but that's my side job, and I only go once a week. I cover the family section. I'm interested in that. In the past, I've volunteered to be a female reporter. But I I have little talent and learning, so I have no choice but to obtain the qualification of a nurse."
Kikuko Ono took the syringe under the window and took a picture. She was checking the liquid medicine in the needle tube.
"I'm getting old. Thanks to you, I finally became the head nurse of this hospital. But I still can't forget my old dream. Mr. Otomo happened to know the editor-in-chief of that magazine. Thanks to him, I became the head nurse. A part-time reporter."
She carefully observed the liquid medicine.
Changzi didn't know what to say for a while.On the one hand, it was too unexpected, and on the other hand, she was worried that Kikuko would not know what medicine to inject her.
Otomo Ryosuke sat on the chair and laughed, silently listening to Kikuko Ono's chatter.
"When I first met you, the magazine printed your business card, but I'm not an official reporter of the magazine, but the nurse printed on the business card seemed too shabby."
"You can't say that." Otomo Liaosuke interrupted. "The work of a nurse is not inferior."
"That being said, being a nurse always feels inferior, and the magazine reporter is so loud, so the mood is different!"
After she said this, Changzi also felt that her previous impression of her seemed to be more than just a reporter.
"Ready."
Kikuko Ono approached Masako.The nurse wiped Changzi's arm again with alcohol cotton pads.
"It doesn't hurt at all. Just bear with it for a while, and you will feel better later."
"This medicine works!" Otomo Ryosuke stood up from his chair and encouraged Masako.
The medicinal solution is a colorless transparent body.A drop of liquid drips from the needle.
"Okay! Come on!"
Changzi turned his face away, and naturally he didn't want to see his arm being pricked by the needle when he usually had an injection.Even more so today.She closed her eyes and waited for Jim to arrive.
At this time, there was a loud knock on the door.
Otomo Liaosuke turned his face away and shouted loudly.
"Don't come in!"
The door opened automatically.
A clerk panicked and said: "Mr. Otomo. He came to inspect."
"Inspection?"
Ono Kikuko took the syringe and hadn't pierced Masako's vein yet.Both of them changed their expressions.
"What a mess!" Otomo said, "You made a mistake! The inspection should be notified in advance!"
"That's what I said. But five or six officials from the Tokyo Metropolitan Health and Welfare Division have already entered."
"Officials from the Health and Welfare Division? Impossible! We have all given allowances before, and we will definitely notify you before the inspection. Did you make a mistake?"
"No, no. It's not the same people who came this time. There are certificates."
Otomo Ryosuke and Ono Kikuko looked at each other.Otomo was about to step out the door when footsteps sounded in the corridor.
"what!--"
Otomo couldn't help shouting.
"Finally caught up."
Jim stood in the forefront of the officers.
"Great, finally caught up."
Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief.He stared sharply at Otomo Ryosuke and Ono Kikuko.
"Mr. Otomo, we finally caught it on the spot. The medicine in the syringe in Ms. Ono's hand is the evidence. We did a lot of spying, and you finally brought out the evidence."
The police officer in plain clothes took a step forward, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Otomo:
"You are under arrest."
Masako knew that it was an arrest warrant.
Masako seemed to be dreaming.
She turned back the way she came from, and the scenery in front of her didn't stop in her eyes.Riding on the bus, the body also seems to be floating in the air.
She came out of the hospital with Jim just now.The commotion in the hospital unfolded before her eyes one after another.She couldn't figure out the ins and outs of what happened.
"Let's take a walk here for a while!"
Get off the bus, Jim suggested.
"You may still have many questions, and I also have some questions to explain to you."
Masako nodded, and the two of them walked into Inokashira Park instead of going to the station.
The zelkova trees in the park are dense.The two walked towards the pond.The weather is fine today, and the park is full of parents with their children.
"Are you terrified!" said Jim, walking beside Masako. "I don't think I'll say anything first, how about answering your question first?"
"But I still don't believe this is reality. This thing is too unexpected."
The first thing Changzi wanted to know was the truth about Horizawa and Reiko's "death in love".
"Lingzi didn't commit suicide near Tsukunin Hot Spring."
Jimmy answered her first question.
"She was transported by car from Tokyo."
"Use a car?"
"Yes. This car is neither a taxi nor a self-owned car, but a car that is not inspected on the road... It is a special car for this mental hospital."
Jim walked and said:
"Lingzi was anesthetized in this mental hospital and transported there by car."
"Why did Ling Zi go to the mental hospital?"
"It was Kikuko Ono who tricked her. Lingzi had already found that Kikuko Ono was a bit strange, and she was fooled by curiosity. When I knew Lingzi, she once asked me about Kikuko Ono, because I didn't know I understand, but I can't answer her. If I had known, this dangerous activity might have been prevented long ago."
"What kind of person is Kikuko Ono?"
"Before talking about Ono Kikuko, let me first talk about the details of Otomo Ryosuke. Otomo Ryosuke runs this mental hospital. Due to his work needs, he may plan to buy anesthetics. This anesthetic is legally prohibited for mentally ill patients. Allowed, he bought anesthetics and sold them through other channels to make a fortune. The business grew bigger and bigger. The rationed anesthetics alone could no longer satisfy his appetite, so he engaged in the black market trading of anesthetics. Otomo Ryosuke is Friends of Section Chief Takemura. They were the ones who planned the unfortunate incident between Horizawa-kun and Reiko."
Jim sat down on the bench.
"We have to start from the beginning. When Japan was occupied by the United States, an American intelligence agency was funded by selling narcotics. After the occupation was lifted, the trading of narcotics was still going on secretly. This international espionage incident was conducted by Otomo , Takemura intervened, starting with the sale of narcotics. Takemura's public identity is the section chief of the Economic Planning Agency, but in fact he is a member of the Cabinet Intelligence Office. The last Borozov incident involved the Japanese government, and it was the Cabinet Intelligence Office. The United States In addition to this, there is another intelligence agency. This agency has a close relationship with the intelligence agency that sells narcotics during the occupation. Both Ryosuke Otomo and Takemura have connections with these agencies. The so-called Borozov incident, when the US State Department held a reception, It is said that he respected the free will of the Soviet spy Borozov himself and fled to the United States. In fact, the American intelligence agency hijacked him and coerced him into submission. The Cabinet Intelligence Office to which Takemura belongs helped a lot. According to the description of the United States: Soviet spy To create a strong impression on the Japanese people and the people of the world by launching a large-scale campaign on the stage of Tokyo. Borozov first had to name the Japanese official who provided information to Borozov. So they found Takemura's subordinate Hideo Horizawa was used as a scapegoat. Takemura pushed all the crimes on Horizawa. However, Horizawa would not accept it honestly and would definitely resist. So they directed the live drama "Dead Men Tell No Tales", leaving Horizawa alone Suicide, but they couldn't find the reason for suicide, so they created the double suicide incident of Horizawa and Lingyu. Before that, they had to cause Horizawa's psychological shake. That is, when you returned to your mother's house, the house was stolen, and the drawer The secret document hidden in it was stolen. Takemura asked Horizawa to keep it. Then, Otomo Ryosuke hired someone to steal it. Horizawa, on the one hand, set up a trap for him to take advantage of."
"Otomo, Takemura, and Noji had a secret talk in 'Takita', and chose the scene of 'Love Death' near Sakunami Hot Spring. Because Takemura had worked in the county and was familiar with the geographical environment in that area. They first let Horizawa-kun alone Go to Sakunami Hot Spring, and decide to meet Horizawa-kun there with Takemura Noji."
"However, they both had jobs and couldn't get away, so they sent Otomo. Otomo took the Ou Main Line to Tendo Onsen. Because it would attract attention if Otomo was sent to work in the hot spring, and evidence would be left behind when the crime happened. So After he arrived at Tendo Hot Spring, he called Hori Yi-kun and called him out from Tsukunami Hot Spring."
"However, an accident occurred. Otomo's train was delayed by eight hours due to a landslide. Horizawa couldn't wait, so he made a long-distance call to Tokyo's Takita."
"On the other hand, Ono Kikuko transported Reiko, who was in a coma, to the hospital by car. Their original plan was to let Otomo go to Tendo Hot Spring first and wait for the car to arrive. Why not let the car go to the hot spring? Because of such a special Cars passing through the hot springs will attract attention, and I am afraid of causing trouble in the future.”
"Because Dayou was late. The hospital's car arrived at Tiantong earlier. I went to Tiantong to inquire, and I heard that there was an unusual car driving around Tiantong. I followed the clues and found that this car belonged to Donghua Mental Hospital. , and also found out that Otomo is the undisclosed operator of this hospital."
"After Otomo arrived in Tendo, he joined Kikuko Ono. Otomo immediately called Horizawa-kun who lived in Sakunami Hot Spring and asked him to come to the scene immediately. Of course, Otomo borrowed the name of Section Chief Takemura. And the hotel maid Horizawa-kun didn’t realize that he left the hotel after receiving a call from Tendo. When Horizawa-kun arrived at the scene and saw a car parked, Otomo explained that the ambulance was sent because Mr. Takemura suddenly felt unwell. Here it is. The section manager is lying in the car. Horizawa is in a hurry and naturally he doesn't pay attention to whether the ambulance is local or from Tokyo. When he got into the car, he found that Reiko died after being injected with anesthesia .”
"We'll see what Otomo will say about the future. They may forcibly administer anesthesia to Horisawa, put him in a comatose state first, and then inject a strong anesthetic to kill him, and then create the illusion of committing suicide by taking a large amount of sleeping pills. The purpose of two people dying in love together is to avoid an autopsy, because if one person commits suicide, an autopsy must be performed to find out the cause of death. However, if two people die in love, an autopsy can be avoided. This is the purpose of their killing Lingzi.”
"After they killed the two, they threw the two corpses on the rocks, and threw away the empty bottle of sleeping pills next to the corpses. Then Section Chief Takemura instigated the newspaper to publish the love death of Mr. Horizawa and Reiko in the newspaper. ' news. As I said just now, the so-called Borozov incident was a masterpiece of Japan-US cooperation. The name of "Hideo Horizawa" was first announced in the United States, and then published in Japanese newspapers. In order to create public opinion, it was first determined that Horizawa-kun was related to the espionage incident, and then let him and his sister "die in love" together in society. Create an impression: It seems that Horizawa-kun committed suicide out of conscience."
"When Lingzi left home, she said she was going to Sendai. Could it be that this is also when Dayou taught her to say that?"
"No. In order to find out the truth about Ono Kikuko, Reiko has to stay with Ono Kikuko for a night or two. In order not to worry the family, Reiko said to go to Sendai. Horizawa went to Sakuna Onsen and Reiko said to go to Sendai, although they are the same The direction, but this is a coincidence, not Dayou's idea. But Lingzi's words are more conducive to their crimes."
The two sat on a bench by the pond.Masako still has many questions to ask.But the big question has been answered.The truth of Horizawa and Reiko's "death in love" finally came to light.
The smoke from the cremation of Horizawa and Reiko's bodies floated before Masako's eyes.The thick smoke continued their lives.
On the small bridge across the pond, young people walk around, a scene of peaceful life.
Talk about a peaceful life.Changzi's newly married life should also be smooth and stable.But her husband was unknowingly involved in this inexplicable espionage incident, and Changzi couldn't calm down.
Jim felt very dull, got up and walked to the pond.He gave Changzi time to think alone.
Seeing Yoshiki's back, Masako suddenly remembered the scene when Yoshiki and Horizawa climbed the mountain trail in the woods of Yemaxi, Kyushu.
