Chapter 2 Chapter two

It was a ridiculously large Western-style building. If it didn't have the number plate of Katsuragi's house, it would have been thought to be some large organization.The gate, which is so large that a car can pass through, has intricately patterned doors.There is a large garage with iron rolling doors on both sides of the gate. Presumably, no matter whether it is a Mercedes or a Rolls-Royce, it can easily park four cars.On the other side of the wall, various trees are planted, which looks like a small forest.It is a bit difficult to see the roof of the main building from the small path, and there should be some distance to the main building. I am afraid that walking from the gate to the entrance will lead to weak feet.

I didn't go near the oversized house because I noticed surveillance cameras mounted on the gateposts.Of course, presumably other places are also installed.That's why I got off the car far away from the house, and my current location is probably 20 meters away from the big house.There happened to be an SUV parked on the side of the road, and I was ducking behind it. I thought to myself, go see Katsuragi Katsutoshi.See him directly, question him carefully, and ask him if he likes Shunsuke Sakuma, and what is called "superficial thinking". Just Kozuka's explanation is not enough, I can't accept it at all.

But looking at this huge fortress-like house, I can only shake my head.When he came to see Katsutoshi Katsuragi at such a time, he might not meet him, and the probability of being invited out could be imagined.Even if you put your name on it, it probably won't be of much use, and it might be said that you are just a past advertiser.Even if I see him, I am smelly of alcohol at the moment, at most it will be regarded as an excuse for daring, and Katsuragi will probably issue an order to evict him immediately. It was originally a daring to borrow wine.When I told the taxi driver where to go, I was already so angry!

In the end, I did nothing.I was afraid of actually killing the enemy, but I was afraid of the humiliation of leaving without doing anything.However, that's the only way to go.Even if he thought of a bunch of reasons for not launching an offensive, it was just a self-justification after all. The anger that followed the humiliation, I was angry with myself.What is this person named Shunsuke Sakuma thinking of doing such a villainous behavior? All over again, after the drunkenness subsided, I made a decision in my heart.This is not running away, I will definitely have a showdown with Katsuragi Katsutoshi!And this duel must have my style, and there must be a thorough plan.

I stretched out my hand and pointed to the big house, and said in my heart: You wait for me, Mr. Katsuragi!I will definitely let you know my strength! At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I seemed to see something moving.I moved my eyes to the other side of the fence. There is a man who wants to go over the wall, not to climb in, but to get out.The figure straddled the iron railing of the fence, hesitated for a moment, and then jumped down. Although the buttocks landed on the ground, it seemed that it was not injured. I thought it was a thief at first, but quickly dismissed it when I noticed it was a girl.Never heard of a thief in a skirt.

This girl should be eighteen or nineteen years old, at most no more than twenty, she must be pretty, and she has a good figure.She looked back and forth while I hid behind the car. She walked forward quickly, I hesitated, and immediately followed behind.In order not to be caught by the surveillance cameras, I walked on the other side of the road with my head down before passing Katsuragi Mansion. I followed her out of an intuition. I don't think she sneaked into Katsuragi's house secretly. A more reasonable explanation should be that something happened and she wanted to escape from the house.That is, what I care about is, what happened?

She didn't seem to notice the movement behind her.Maybe it's because I'm still some distance away from her.When she reached the main road, she raised her hand to stop a taxi.Only then did I feel a little anxious. If I let her get in the car, there would be nothing to sing about! I also hurried to the main road.And the taxi she took was about to start.I wrote down the number and waited for the taxi.Fortunately, there happened to be an empty car passing by. "Drive forward first, as fast as you can!" Although I got in the car, the driver didn't seem to like my instructions to him, and started to drive forward with a displeased look. I took a 10,000 yuan bill and shook it in front of him.

"There is a yellow taxi ahead, and I want to catch up to that car." "Sir, I'm sorry for this trouble." "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. There was a girl in that taxi, and her parents asked me to chase her." "Oh!" This seemed to make sense, and the driver stepped on the accelerator.I put the fare of 10,000 yuan on the small plate where the driver put the money.It will be troublesome if you don't catch up before getting on the circular No. 8 line.Fortunately, the taxi in front of the traffic light also stopped. I checked the license plate number and said to the driver, "That's the car!"

"What are you going to do if you catch her up? Take her home?" the taxi driver asked me. "No, I just want to know where she is going." "Ha, and report to her parents?" "Yeah, that's it." "I see. It must be the baby girl!" The driver seemed to have a reasonable explanation for how to explain the matter. The taxi the girl took was heading southward on the ring-shaped Line 8, and the taxi I took followed closely behind.So the car she took didn't drive that fast, and it wasn't that difficult to catch up. "A young girl, I guess it's going in the direction of Shibuya, but it doesn't seem to be the case." The driver said that because the direction was just the opposite.

After finishing speaking, the car in front turned left and entered Zhongyuan Street. "Is this going straight to Gotanda?" I asked the driver. "Yeah, recently I heard that Gotanda has a lot of places to play!" If you want to go out to play, do you need to climb the wall?Indeed, if you want to go out to play at this time, your parents will not have a good face.But from the expression on her face when she climbed over the wall, it didn't look like she was going out at night, but something more urgent.That's why I follow her. I saw Gotanda Station, but I couldn't see that the taxi in front of me was about to stop. After passing the station, I turned right again.

"Wow, I'm heading towards Shinagawa now." "It seems so." The taxi the girl took drove into the First Keihin Line, and I followed it all the way.After a while, you can see JR Shinagawa Station on the right, and a row of famous restaurants on the left. "Ah, they're turning left!" said the driver.Sure enough, the car in front turned on the turn signal to turn left. "Trouble follow them!" "But... they drove into the restaurant." "It's okay, just follow." After going up the gentle slope, the taxi is parked at the main entrance of the hotel.I asked the driver to stop just a little below the ramp. "Are you meeting the boy here?" the driver said while handing me the receipt.Maybe so, and I coped with his answer. The girl walked into the restaurant through the revolving door, and I followed behind. Maybe the driver's guess was right.It's not incomprehensible that he ran out of the big house like that because he wanted to have a tryst with a boy secretly.If that's the case, I look like a crazy clown for trying to track down a place like this.No!No!No matter where you go, as long as you can know the secret of the house, there is no loss. I have slightly revised my thinking. The counter is on the left when you enter the restaurant.There was no one in front of the long counter.The girl rang the call bell, and after a while, a hotel staff in uniform came out. I took out a 10,000-dollar bill from my wallet and approached the girl behind. "I'm really sorry, all the rooms are full today." The hotel staff said to the girl.She seemed desperate for a room. "Any kind of room is fine," the girl said, sounding tired, and the quality of her voice almost made people sing to her. "I'm sorry, all the rooms are full." The middle-aged hotel staff bowed politely to the little girl, and then turned his eyes to me: "What's the matter?" "I want two thousand yuan in change, can I change it with you? Five is enough." The girl didn't even look at me, she walked towards the door of the hotel with a desperate look.I couldn't lose her here, and turned and left the counter in a hurry.At this moment, a voice behind me stopped me: "Ah, sir!" "Thank you, no need!" Leaving behind the confused hotel staff, I also walked out towards the main entrance. The girl happened to be on the walkway across the hotel's front garden.I was worried about arousing suspicion, so I extended the following distance, but I couldn't tell that she had noticed that someone was following her. The end of the garden trail is just the exit of the hotel, and there are other restaurants across the road.I can already see what she wants to do. As I thought, she went into the restaurant next door.The counter here is on the first floor, and because business customers frequent it, they keep coming in and out in the middle of the night.I found a place where I could see the counter, and watched her from here. After talking to the hotel staff, she immediately turned around and walked in another direction. Judging from her disgusted expression, she could clearly know the result of the negotiation just now. She went into the cubicle of the public telephone.It turned out that, as I expected, I also walked out. She flipped through the phone book desperately inside.You don't need to look to know what category she is flipping through. "Wearing this look at this time, no matter where you find a restaurant, I don't think it will be useful." My voice startled her, and she looked at me with a startled expression. "I haven't booked a room and I'm a girl alone. If I want to stay, everyone will only be wary. For the hotel, the most fear is that they won't make a lot of money from the guests and cause trouble. No hotel will want to be involved in such troubles." .” She probably felt that a man with malicious intentions had seen through her mind and wanted to get close to her, so she closed the phone book and wanted to walk out of the phone booth. "You're looking for a hotel to stay at tonight, aren't you? Miss Katsuragi." She stopped suddenly, and slowly turned her head to look at me like a robot. "Who are you?" I took my business card out of my pocket.She scanned the words printed on the card and my face back and forth. "Cyber ​​plan..." "Advertising, production, mediation, everything. In other words, it is a convenience store for the company. Mr. Katsuragi's company is my biggest client. This is the end of my self-introduction. Can I know your name next?" "I don't have such an obligation." After speaking, he flicked the business card with his fingers, and the business card fell lightly to the ground. "So, I must do my duty," I said, picking up the business card on the ground. "I can't let the thief who sneaked into my important client's house get away!" She widened her slightly phoenix eyes, which was indeed very competitive, but it made her look even more beautiful in this way.Those eyes stared at me without blinking. "Still... you didn't sneak in, but you sneaked out! No matter what, you can't ignore it. I'd better contact Mr. Katsuragi..." I took out the mobile phone in my pocket. "don't want!" "Then, you introduce yourself," I smiled at her. "Even if you let me know what happened, I won't say it casually. It depends on the situation. Maybe I can help you with your accommodation tonight." A bewildered expression appeared on her face.It should not be said to be a calculating expression.She is speculating according to my personality, whether she wants to believe me, or use me, and maybe she can get some benefits. She stretched out her right hand and said, "Please give me the business card just now." "Please." After she took the business card, she stretched out her left hand and said, "Driver's license." "driver's license?" "Yeah, this business card doesn't necessarily belong to you." "Oh, I see." Looking at her up close, she is younger than Missing You.Probably a high school student, and it's quite unambiguous.I took my driver's license out of my wallet.She picked up the paper and ballpoint pen next to the public phone, and wrote down my address. "Be very careful!" I said as I took the driver's license and put it away. "My dad kept telling me to not say names until the last minute." "dad?" "Katsuragi Katsutoshi." "Ah!" I nodded. "That's right. But... the daughter of the vice president of Rixing Motors climbed the wall and ran out. What's going on here?" "It's none of your business." "It's true that it has nothing to do with me. However, it is also true that we met under such circumstances. Next, if you make any mistakes, there will be liability issues. This is related to the life and death of my company." "Then what does it matter to me?" She turned around and was about to leave, and I took out the phone again. "I'll call right now." She had no choice but to turn around with a bored expression on her face. "I said, just leave me alone! Is that okay? Don't you obey the orders of the vice president Qianjin?" "It's a pity. To me, the vice president is much more important than the vice president's daughter." I pretended to press the phone number. "Stop calling!" She wanted to snatch my mobile phone, but I quickly got out of the way. At this time, a middle-aged man who seemed to be an office worker happened to pass by, and he looked at the two of us with surprised eyes. "You don't want to be seen by others in this kind of place, do you? Do you want to find a place to sit down and talk slowly?" She was thinking about it again, it should be said that she was starting to calculate again.After a while, she nodded. We walked into the coffee shop next to the hotel, saying that the coffee shop is actually the kind of self-service shop where you have to bring drinks to your seats.We sat side by side on the long counter-style seats facing the road. How to use her?I can think of two ideas for now.One is to take her back to Katsuragi's house tonight no matter what, and Katsutoshi Katsuragi has the upper hand.It is said that he protected his precious daughter. In this way, no matter how arrogant a person is, he will not be able to put on any big airs. Another thing is to listen to her talk, she would sneak out of that big house like that, there must be some secret in it.Her secret is the secret of the Katsuragi family, and this will be an important weapon in the future confrontation with Katsuragi Katsuragi. "When did you start following me?" After taking a sip of coffee, she spoke first. "It started in front of your house, when I saw you climb the wall." "Why are you in front of my house?" "There's no particular reason, it's just that I happened to be there because of work, and I just wanted to see the famous Katsuragi family mansion by the way." "I originally wanted to say that there would be no one in the alley." "I'm a little far away. If I keep watching closely, I will be caught by surveillance cameras." "Well, you followed me after that? Why? What's the reason?" "It's like a policeman asking questions!" I smiled wryly and took a sip of my coffee. "As I said just now, Mr. Katsuragi is an important customer for us. Someone climbed out of the fence of his house, of course we have to investigate what happened." "Then why didn't you speak to me right away?" "Would you wish to do that?" When I asked her this question, she immediately fell silent.I took another sip of coffee. "Because it seems that there is something inside, I want to observe a little bit before I say it. I didn't expect this chase to become like this." "Mind your own business!" "Our work cannot be done without this spirit. By the way, it's my turn to ask questions. First, may I know your name?" "Didn't you just say that?" "Just say it's the vice-president's daughter. I wish I could know your name. There is always a need to call you, right?" She looked at the road outside through the glass window, and finally muttered "Juri". "what?" "Arborism, the tree of trees, the logic of physics and chemistry." "Oh, it's Ms. Juri. Katsuragi Juri. It's really different. Just by hearing the name, you can tell that it's not a child from an ordinary family." "what do you mean?" "It's a compliment... By the way, what's the big deal that Ms. Katsuragi Juri has to climb over the fence of the house like that? What's going on?" After listening to my question, she sighed softly and shrugged her beautiful shoulders slightly. "Is it necessary to say?" "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it." I reached into the pocket where the phone was placed. "Got it! He said he wanted to contact my father again, right?" "This is the so-called bloodletting of adults. What should we do?" "Let me think about it." Shuli leaned on the table with both hands resting on his ribs.For girls nowadays, the skin is really white ceramic skin, without any unevenness. Looking at her beautiful side profile, she suddenly turned to face me, I was startled and moved back. "Another cup of coffee, your treat?" "a piece of cake." I removed my empty cup and bought two cups of coffee, one for myself.Returning to his seat, Jyuri smoked a Caster Super Mild. "Smoking at a young age, I really can't agree." "I think so too. It's just that if you smoke at an older age, will you agree?" "I don't smoke." "for health?" "More than that, smoking is a waste of time. Let's count it as three minutes to smoke a pack of fireworks. A person who smokes one pack a day spends one hour in 24 hours a day on smoking. Although some people say that they can smoke while smoking Doing things while smoking is nothing but nonsense. Another point is that you must sacrifice both hands in order to smoke. No matter what you do, it is impossible to do it efficiently with one hand than with two hands." Jyuri blew a puff of smoke into my face. "Live it with such thoughts, are you happy?" "It's not that you're not happy, it's just that you don't like wasting time on unnecessary things. Then, have you considered it?" Jyuri carefully extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and began drinking his second cup of coffee. "Simply put, run away from home." "runaway?" "Yes. Because I hated staying in that house more and more, I had no choice but to run away. In order not to let my parents find out, I had to climb out of the wall." "I do not believe." "why?" "You ran away from home like this?" She only brought a small bag. I sighed and looked around by the way, I couldn't bear to think that I was taking girls.And there are as many things I want to ask her as there are mountains. "Well, let me just believe that you ran away from home, but I can't just let you go like this. You have to tell me the reason why you ran away from home. As long as it is really excusable, what happened tonight I'll just see it first." Jyri blew a puff of smoke on me. "Why do I need your permission to run away?" "Because I bumped into her. Just admit it. It's bad luck for you to run away from home and be seen by me. In my opinion, you should recruit. I waved my hands and made a motion to ask her to confess. She held a cigarette in one hand and bit the thumbnails of the other hand.Her nails and teeth have also been taken care of beautifully. She pulled her fingers away from her mouth and squinted at me. "Mr. Sakuma...isn't it?" "Glad you remembered my name," I said sarcastically. "What I said, you promise that you will never tell others?" "I want to make sure, but it depends on the content." "Huh!" She turned her face to me and looked at me carefully. "You are quite honest. I thought you would just say I promise." "There's no point in making such a guarantee, is there?" It's easy to say a promise, but even if she said it, she wasn't the kind of girl who would say what was in her heart. "So your pledge cannot be trusted?" "Yes. But it can also be said that whether I want to tell others or not depends on whether it is good for me; if it is not good, I don't want others to think that I am a broken-mouthed man. Especially when I make an appointment The person in question is still my client's beloved daughter!" Shuli curled her lips, wondering if she felt uncomfortable hearing it. She continued to smoke, and I just watched her continue to exhale gray rings of smoke. "As for me..." Juli said, "It's not really the daughter of the Katsuragi family." "Oh..." I stared at her profile.It was beyond my expectation. "Is that right?" "It can't be completely said that it is not a real daughter, um... It should be said that it is more correct to say that it is a daughter born out of wedlock." "Anyway, this is quite surprising, if it is true..." "Forget it if you don't believe it. I won't say anything more." "Okay, okay." I pretended to coax her and said, "Think about it, it's not unreasonable for me to be shocked! Don't just say half of what you said, just keep telling me?" Shuli snorted softly, with a contemptuous expression on his face, as if I only like to listen to gossip.Da Kefu can bend and stretch, so bear with it first. "My dad remarried, you know that?" "I've heard of it, but that was about twenty years ago." "Exactly twenty years ago, my father and his ex-wife divorced by agreement. He and his current wife have a daughter." "That daughter... doesn't sound like you?" If it was my own mother, she probably wouldn't call her "the current wife".But she also used the term "ex-wife".In other words, she wasn't the ex-wife's child either. "I... am the daughter of my previous mistress." It was too straightforward, and my answer was too slow.My mouth was half-opened for a while! "The statement about the previous mistress may not be correct, and it may not be the previous mistress, maybe it is the previous mistress! Anyway, that person has many mistresses!" She just smiled at the corner of her mouth.That was such a father to her. "Do you mean Mr. Katsuragi's mistress every time he gets married? "That's right. This is also the reason for the divorce for the first time. I heard that the ex-wife is a young lady from a good family background. Even if the husband's family dominates one side, the things they hate will be hated." After listening to Shuli's words, I couldn't help laughing.It's so funny that this Katsuragi Katsutoshi's private life has failed like this. "Then, you, the mistress' daughter, why are you at Katsuragi's house?" "It's easy to say, because my mother died, it seems to be leukemia. To say that my mother is a beauty, this is the so-called unlucky beauty." Shuli didn't seem particularly sad when he said it. "Don't you remember anything about your mother?" "I seem to have a little impression." Hao shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe I don't remember it. I seem to have seen the photos, but maybe it's different from what I remember." A cool analysis. "Then when did you get adopted by the Gecheng family?" "When I was eight. But my mother died when I was three and I was raised by my grandmother." At the age of eight, the formation of personality is a foregone conclusion.I imagined how she felt when she was adopted, and felt a little sympathetic to her. "Before you were eight years old, why didn't the Gecheng family adopt you?" "Well... worry about what the new wife thinks. The legitimate daughter is also born." "Then the other way around, why should I adopt you?" "Because my grandmother fell ill, can't I find someone to raise me? And my father also admitted me, he should think so. Instead of being adopted by others, it would be better to bring him back as his own daughter at this point in time. Home is better." Juli extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray. "Have you been at Katsuragi's house since then?" "It's just a formality." "formal?……" "If you want to know it! I'm already eight years old. Besides, if someone else's child suddenly enters the house, the new wife and the child will not feel very happy. My father is also very clear about this kind of thing, so I was called It has been placed in a boarding school, and it is a school in Sendai." "Since elementary school?" "From elementary school to high school. I only go home during long vacations. But I don't want to go home at all, I want to stay in the school dormitory all the time. The school stipulates that unless there are special things, I must go home. So I especially I hate winter and summer vacations and spring vacations. It would be great if there were no such vacations. Generally, children are happier the closer they get to the holidays, and they sigh after the holidays. I am just the opposite. You know how much I look forward to the end of August." Juli stared at the road through the glass, showing a lonely and empty expression on her face.Maybe she has always spent her childhood with this expression, not necessarily. "Then you are...a college student now?" "Well, sophomore." I don't want to ask her which university she went to.Anyway, it doesn't matter, I want to ask other things more. "Did you come back to Tokyo because you were going to university?" "I originally wanted to stay in Sendai, even if I wasn't in Sendai, I could go to other schools outside of Tokyo. But I was called back, and I had to obey. There's no way, who asked me to be taken care of by my lover all the time?" "Yeah, but I probably know what he's thinking." "how to say?" "That means he's starting to worry about my future. He wants to see who he can marry me to as soon as possible. For this reason, he shouldn't put me by his side." "I see." This statement sounds a bit strange, but understandable. "Because of this, you can't bear the current life, so you finally decided to escape from home over the wall?" "You understand how I feel?" "I probably understand the whole thing. But, does it really bother you so much? You don't get along well with the family, do you?" "It can't be said that we got along well." She seemed to want to get a cigarette again, but it seemed to be the last one just now, and she squeezed the empty box into a ball. "It's not like Cinderella, and I haven't been obviously disgusted, but I have tasted a lot of malice in the dark. After all, I am an outsider. After all these years, I still can't get along with each other. They don't want to accept me at all. If I'm not here, I'll do everything like an actor in a family ethics series, no matter what I say or do, it's like I don't exist, I can hardly breathe." Looking at me, I asked, "Do you understand?" "I seem to understand." I replied. "Then what do you think about this? You don't seem to have any good impressions of the Katsuragi family, for example, what do you think of the new mother?" "What a vicious question!" She sighed and said, "Do you think I will like her? She has been ignoring my existence, and she is a smiling face, wearing a smiling face mask!" It's really well described, I really admire it. "Then what about her daughter? Well...it should be your half-sister." "Her..." Shuli closed her lips and tilted her head slightly, as if she was thinking about what to say.Then he replied with that face: "Super disgusting!" -------------------------------- Note:
