kidnapping game 东野圭吾 8488Words 2018-03-22
Living in Tokyo is almost impossible to use a car.It's also rare to drive when you're dating a woman, because you have to refrain from drinking for dinner, and it's not fun to stand in a long queue of traffic jams all the time.And my car is MR-S, which can be turned into a convertible by folding up the hood, so as to show the taste of this car. If you want to go back and forth to Suga quietly, you can't take a taxi.I let Juli sit next to the driver's seat and drove the car out of the parking lot.With a hood, of course.Outside of Tokyo, the air is cleaner to some extent, but only tonight I don't want to open the hood.

"You like this kind of car, don't you?" Shuli asked shortly after driving out. "A car like this?" "Two-seater sports car." "Can't you?" "It's not impossible." "Because there's no need for three people to ride. I'm not interested in driving with boys either. One woman in the car is enough." "Where do you put things when you load them?" "There's plenty of room behind your seat for a travel bag." "But there is always a time when you have to load a lot?" "The car is bought for its mobility."

Shuli said nothing more about this question.She seemed to shrug her shoulders, but I didn't see it clearly. "Can I listen to the CD?" "If you like it, please!" Her reaction to the music played was exactly what I expected. "What is this? Never heard of it." "A jazz pianist arranges and plays the music of Bach." "Oh..." She was obviously dissatisfied, but she didn't turn it off. The MR-S car does not have a clutch. I hold the silver light lever and shift gears to accelerate. Adjust the highway from Hakozaki to the capital, as Juri said, get off Yokosuka Road in about an hour, exit the Yokosuka Interchange, drive on the Honmachi Mountain Road, and you will be in front of Shioiri Station in just a few minutes.

"Put the car over there in the restaurant parking lot." Following Juli's instructions, I drove the MR-S into the parking lot. "You wait here for a while, I will go alone." "Is it near here?" "It's a little far away if you walk. But it's dangerous to park a car as eye-catching as yours near the apartment." She was right.I gave her my cell phone number to call in case anything happened, and watched her leave.She crossed the spacious national road and disappeared into the alleys. I drank the not-so-good coffee in the restaurant and thought about what was going to happen next.Juli was a failure when she left a message on a friend's answering machine.But if it can be eliminated smoothly, it should be no problem to continue with the plan.

The biggest problem is how to get the ransom, 300 million yuan, because the size and weight are not ordinary big and heavy, you need a car to transport it away.But the car is easy to be followed, and now I don't want to use the primitive way of running away with cash. Exchange 300 million yuan for something valuable, and then exchange it back for cash when you get it?For example, you can ask him to prepare diamonds worth 300 million yuan, which will be convenient for transportation.But for fear of causing suspicion when exchanging cash, the value of a diamond must be less than one million yuan.Three hundred million dollar diamonds...

I shake my head.It is still possible to exchange one or two diamonds for cash, but there is a problem with three hundred diamonds.If a jewelry store sells two diamonds, it must find 150 stores, and these stores are closely connected. Rumors of a strange man selling diamonds from unknown sources will spread to all the dealers in an instant, and it doesn’t take five stores. Probably caught by the ambushing police. By bank transfer.This of course requires a head account, and it is not difficult, there are businesses selling head accounts on the Internet.But the problem is how to get the money out.I can't go to the bank counter to get it, but I can only withdraw it from the ATM, but the amount that can be withdrawn in one day is limited, and the method is 300 million yuan. Even if I use several accounts, it will take several days.The police will also ask the bank for assistance to keep an eye on the movements of these accounts. When using the ATM card dozens of times to collect money, they may be surrounded by the police network. Moreover, there are surveillance videos leaving evidence. It is also troublesome.

When I was thinking about this, suddenly the phone at the checkout counter rang, and a young waiter in uniform answered the phone. The waiter looked surprised.He ran outside with the wireless phone, came back immediately, and disappeared behind the counter in a hurry. After a while, the fat man who looked like the store manager and the waiter just came out, and ran outside quickly, and when they came back, both of them obviously had confused expressions on their faces. The two seemed to be discussing something, and then they approached the guests at each table and said something to the guests.Then the young server came up to me.

"Hmm...Excuse me..." He said tremblingly. "What's up?" "Excuse me, did you come by car today?" "yes." "What kind of car is it?" "It's MR-S." "M...R..." He didn't seem to understand. "A dark blue sports car with a hood." The waiter's expression changed. "Hmm...is the license plate Shinagawa?" "Yes." I had a sense of foreboding and was about to stand up. "Did something happen?" "Your car...has been painted as a hoax." I ran out without hearing him finish.

When I saw the car outside, I was stunned.I could only be dumbfounded when I saw a headlight painted red. "Which bastard." I stood in front of the car blankly, looking at the headlights that looked like bloodshot eyes. The waiter ran over with something and said, "Here, I'll bring this first, maybe..." It's benzine and towels.I didn't bother to say thank you. After I took it, I poured the volatile oil on the towel and started to wipe the headlights.It was just sprayed on. The glass part is easy to wipe off, but I can't lift up the energy to wipe the sheet metal part. Fortunately, the part of the car body that was sprayed is very small.

"Well, it's like this..." I don't know when, the fat man who seems to be the store manager stood behind and said: "This store is not responsible for the troubles encountered by the cars parked in this parking lot." "I know, I don't mean to ask for compensation." I returned the volatile oil and towel to him and said, "Thank you." "Should I call the police?" the waiter asked me. "Forget it, I don't want to make a big fuss." If you call the police, you will be in trouble. "Okay, you all go in too." I instinctively turned around and looked around. It didn't make sense that the person spraying paint was still nearby.

"So far, nothing like this has happened in our store." The fat man said in an explanatory tone, and I didn't answer anything. Adding it to the restaurant, the mood of leisurely drinking coffee is gone. I paid the money and went outside, sat in the car and waited for Shuli, but I was upset when I saw the paint marks. This MR-S is still like a new car, but The resentment for it has faded. About ten minutes later, Juli came back.She seemed to be walking into the restaurant and I honked the horn to let her know. When she got in the car, I told her about the car being painted. After she showed a surprised expression, she got out of the car to see the damage. "It's really bad, is it something done by the racers?" She said after sitting in the seat next to the driver's seat again. "Recently, this race has stopped doing such things. It must have been a prank by the elementary and middle school students nearby." "Maybe." "By the way, how are things going on your side? Is it going well?" "That, it's totally fine." Juli made an OK gesture. "The place where the key is hidden has not changed, and it is easy to get in. The recording in the answering machine has also been successfully erased." "It wasn't seen by others." "Do you think I'd make a mistake like that?" "Hmm... I don't know. I still forgot that I left a message on the answering machine until just now. I think this is a big mistake." "But I still thought of it after all, and I've already finished wiping my ass!" "Yeah, I even came to Yokosuka." I stretched out my hand to start the engine. After leaving the parking lot, instead of following the way home, he drove in the opposite direction. "Where are you going?" "Just shut up and leave it to me." I have been to Yokosuka before, and I drove based on my original impression.As long as I walk through it once, I can probably remember about 80% of it, which is also my point of pride. Avoiding the national highway with many cars, take the small road to the mountainous area, the houses are getting less and less, gradually approaching the forest.Finally, I saw the building illuminated by the light green light obliquely ahead, and there was a parking lot sign there, so I slowed down the car. "What do you want to do!?" The voice was a little shrill. "Tell you to shut up." "Why does this tell me to shut up? I never heard of coming to such a place." I ignored the tree, parked the car on the side of the road, pulled the handbrake, and turned off the engine. "Well, let's go." "Where are you going?" "That's pretty clear. Go into that beautiful building." But Juli didn't even intend to unbuckle the seat belt, her forward posture didn't move, and her expression was very stiff.I laughed softly. "It's really strange. So far, you have been alone with me in the place where I live, so you don't care. Will you resist me when you enter the hotel?" "But this kind of..." "It's a place for that kind of purpose, so...huh?" Juli couldn't answer, and I laughed out loud again. "Don't get me wrong, I have something important to do, so I need a room." "What's up?" "Of course it's part of our game play. Just to erase the recording, do you think I will travel all the way like this?" Shuli's face softened slightly, which also showed that she understood, but she still had a slightly surprised expression. "If so, why not park the car in the parking lot?" "This is a surveillance camera installed in the parking lot of the hotel, which will record the license plate number. Thinking about what to do now, then I can't let my car leave any records." "Yes." She nodded ambiguously and looked at me and said, "You know what's going on here!" "I have worked as a consultant for this hotel before." The two walked side by side, keeping an eye on the camera as they walked into the hotel.The room we got had a simple and elegant interior design in a single color.The first thing to do as soon as you enter the room is: open the window and have a look.I thought I was just going into the mountains, but unexpectedly saw the sea, and occasionally heard the sound of sirens. "What are you going to do here?" "You'll find out in a minute. You just sit down on this nice sofa and wait." But Jyuri didn't sit on the sofa, but sat on the bed covered with a bed cover, looking at the interior decoration with great interest.I don't know whether she comes to this kind of place every time, or compares it with places she has been to before, which I can't judge. I sat down on the sofa, pulled out my notepad, picked up the pen in the room, and started writing an article. "what are you writing?" "I told you to wait." She bounced on the bed, as if to confirm the stalactites getting out of bed.Then she picked up the remote control on the table, turned on the TV, and kept changing the TV channel to an adult video station, which happened to be a naked young woman with her legs spread out, and the male actor seemed to be playing a prank on her or something.Of course, there are mosaics, and sensitive places cannot be seen. Juli hastily turned off the TV, and seeing her like that, I couldn't help but not laugh. "It's surprising, it's quite innocent." "Just turn off the show of fighting ghosts. If you want to watch it, I can show it to you." "No thanks. I'm on something important right now." "Oh!" Shuli raised his knees and let it go again. "Men are really perverted, what's the pleasure in seeing that kind of thing?" "Women also like to watch this kind of stuff." "But it's not as good as a man's. Especially Ojisang is the most idiot. He doesn't have any pocket money anymore, but the compensation cost tens of thousands of yuan. It can only be said that the skull is really broken. It's not enough to be played by a girl. do you know?" "Playing? You used a difficult word." I stopped, raised my head and said, "You really think so? Are those Ojisang idiots? Used by those little girls?" "Isn't it?" "Listen, those Ojisangs in this world are almost bloody and competitive societies, and the value of 10,000 yuan is clearer than anyone else. They will pay that price because they think it has that value." "So, I said..." "So what you're trying to say is that paying for sex is an idiot's thing? That's not the case. Usually playing high school girls, a long time ago, it was not possible to play even if you had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars. And Now you can get it for only a few tens of thousands of yuan. Hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars are sold at the end, not only their bodies but also the value of their own souls have collapsed at the big auction." "They won't betray their hearts. They say it's just a business of prostitution." "That's just what they said to themselves. If they didn't say it like this, those Ojisangs would not open their hearts, but so what? Can saying this make those Ogissans take more action? Those Oggy parallel bars hugged those girls and thought: In fact, this girl hates doing it to me to death, but it doesn't matter, I just pay what I have to pay—that is, those Oggy If Sang pays, she has the right to ignore their hearts. In this case, why can't it be said that it is a big collapse of the soul?" I don't know if it's because she spoke too fast like a machine gun, or because she didn't understand the meaning of these words, Juli lowered her head and didn't say a word. I sighed and said: "There are some things in this world that are more valuable than money. I think they are both: people's hearts and time. Money can't touch people's hearts, and lost time can't be bought back with money. So, if you can use these two things to buy If I achieve something, I will spare no expense." I tore it out of the notebook and handed it to her. "Let's get to this point after chatting. Continue our battle. As I said just now, time is more precious than money." "what is this?" "You'll know it when you read it." After reading the content on the paper, Shuli slowly turned his head and said with a little stiff cheeks: "Call from here? Want me to?" "Yes, because the other party wants to confirm that you are okay first. If you call directly, they should be very satisfied." "Then why did you come here?" "There are two reasons for this: one is that there is an anti-detection situation, and the other is that the siren sound is the best, and the police will analyze what it is. If they know it is a siren, they should guess the prisoner The hiding place is near the sea, so maybe you can tell it is the Yokosuka Naval Port from the sound of the siren." "You mean to mislead the investigation?" "That's what I mean." I picked up the phone by the bed and dialed a few numbers. After a while, the phone rang. Then I looked at the screen of the phone and hung up the hotel call. "What are u doing?" "Check to see if the hotel's phone number will be displayed. It doesn't matter if it's not, you can just call like this." I forced the phone to Shuli. She crossed her arms and looked at the phone, moistened her lips before saying: "It's not necessarily my dad who answers the phone." "I think it must be your father. If someone else answers, please ask Mr. Katsuragi to listen. If this is the case, you can only wait ten seconds, and tell the other party that you will be there after ten seconds." Hang up the phone." "But I think papa will ask me a lot of questions." "Yes. But there is no extra time to say anything, so just tell him that there is no time to answer the questions, and you just need to read what is written on the paper." "I see." She closed her eyes slowly and said, "Take a look." Then she opened her eyes. I pointed to the phone.I watched Juli swallow a mouthful of saliva, then took a deep breath before reaching out to pick up the phone. Juli pressed the phone number with trembling fingers, and my heartbeat also started to speed up. I don’t know if there is something I didn’t notice, and I confirmed myself again and again. The phone rang from next to Juri's ear, she gasped three times, and then the phone seemed to be connected.Someone made a sound, but it was impossible to tell if it was Katsutoshi Katsuragi's voice. "Ah! Dad? It's me! You know, I'm Juli." She said while looking at the note I wrote. The other party was talking so excitedly that even I could hear the voice.Juli looked confused, took a breath and said: "I'm sorry, I don't have time to speak slowly, you know. I'm not alone... I can't answer you if you ask me like that. Anyway, you listen to me first, there is no time." I ran with my eyes on the hands of the clock. Fifteen seconds had passed. "I'm fine. Don't worry. I'll let me go when I get the money. These people are by my side... Ah, I'm sorry, it's time." I put my finger on the disconnect button, and the moment I thought about disconnecting in two seconds, a siren sounded in the distance, and I immediately disconnected the phone. "It's done!" I shook my fist and stood up.He closed the window, looked back at Juri and said, "Lucky is on our side, the timing of the siren sound is just right." But Juli looked a little strange, hunching her back as if she was cold. "What's the matter?" I sat down next to her, her body trembling slightly. When I was wondering if it was important for her number one, she suddenly hugged me tightly. "Finally done, there is no turning back!" Juli said softly with her cheek against my chest. "Are you scared?" Shuli couldn't answer, and kept maintaining the same posture, even the trembling of her body was transmitted to my arm. "That's for sure." I said, "What we are doing is not an ordinary thing, it is something that ordinary people cannot do, so the result in exchange should not be small." Shuli nodded slightly, and looked up at me, her eyes were slightly teary. An unexpected feeling surged up from my heart, it could be called impulsive.Something that I didn't notice myself, or rather, I should have noticed and tried to ignore, was swaying in my mind. I hugged Jyuri even tighter in my arms, and she looked at me like she was startled. All kinds of thoughts crossed in my head, many of which were my own interpretations of my problems.Hugging this girl here won't have any big impact, of course it will deepen the relationship between the two and make the plan go in a good direction.This thought came to my mind. But I let go of the strength, and she left my arms.What I want to do is not something like this.What I'm doing now is the most challenging game of my life! "In short, leave here first, I don't think it will be detected by anti-detection, but there is no benefit to staying for a long time." Shuri nodded silently. Back in the car, I started the engine, and when I was about to leave, Juli said, "Wait a minute!" I stepped on the brake. "I have a request……" "What is it?" "I want to go to a place near here." "Is there anything else?" "It's not like that. To a place I like. Before, it was a place my dead mother took me to. It calms my mind... Please." Shuli clasped his hands towards me, I was a little surprised, I didn't expect this little girl to have such romantic nerves. "It's a bit far away, isn't it?" "I don't think so." "I just wanted to get out of this place early." "That's no problem. But it doesn't mean that it's as close as the nose and eyes. I mean it won't be far away if you have a car." "Oh!" I took my foot off the brake pedal and moved the car slowly. "Do you know the way?" "Well, probably." I can only let out a sigh of relief. "Well, we'll have to rely on the navigation system." "Understood, let's go back to the original road first." "OK." I stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel in a big circle. Follow Shuli's instructions, continue to run on the national road, and then go out along the coastal road. The sea is on the left, and the endless hills are on the right. After a while, Shuli said to turn right. becomes very steep. "It will climb very high, is this right?" "That's right." Shuri said in a confident tone. As we walked forward, there were fewer and fewer houses, and the surrounding shelters gradually disappeared, as if we could see the horizon.It seems that after climbing the ramp, the flat road stretches forward. "Park near here." After she finished speaking, I stepped on the brakes, and it was dark all around.There was no car coming before or after, but the car was still parked by the side of the road. "Hey," Juli looked at me and said, "This, can you open it?" She pointed to the roof of the car. "Open it in this kind of place?" After a little hesitation, I finally hit the button that stows the top.The canopy was retracted silently, and the cool wind blew on the cheeks, with the smell of grass and soil in the wind. "Hey, so beautiful!" Juli looked at it and pointed with her index finger. "Wow!" I exclaimed like an idiot.It is such a beautiful night sky!Infinitely wide, in the endless darkness, countless light sources are lined up, this configuration is perfect, just looking at it like this, it feels as if it is about to be sucked in. "Although it's an old saying..." Having just said this, Shuli said in a straight line: "Use whatever adjective you want, just don't say it looks like an astrograph!" I just bowed my head and smiled bitterly. It's really better not to use that description. "I know next to nothing about astrology. It's a shame about that." "I just know the Orion constellation. But, what does that matter." She stretched her hands, took a deep breath and said, "It's really comfortable! It doesn't seem to be in Japan." I re-examined my surroundings, the hills and valleys were ups and downs in the darkness, and what stretched out in front of me was a cultivated land of unknown crops. "Which side is the sea?" Actually, I didn't particularly want to know where the sea is, but I still said it. "This side, this side, and this side are also the sea!" After pointing in three directions, Shuli said, "Because this is the front end of the Miura Peninsula." I nod.Driving here feels exactly like she said. "So... have you calmed down a little?" "Well, thank you!" Juli smiled before looking at me, then blinked twice and said, "Can I ask a question?" "What is it this time?" "Just now... didn't you want to hug me?" I stopped breathing suddenly, avoiding her eyes, and I said slowly: "Is it you who hugged me!?" "That's not what I meant..." She paused for a while before saying, "That's not what I meant, you know that, right?" I didn't answer.Put your right hand on the steering wheel and move your fingers. "Why don't you continue? Will it be dangerous to stay there for a long time? Or will I do it if I have time?" She asked me in a whisper, a question I hadn't thought of. "Then I'll ask you too," I turned my face to her again, and said with a smile on the corner of my mouth, "then why did you hug her? I felt scared after calling Li, but I'm just an accomplice to you, right?" !" Shuli looked down halfway first, then rolled his eyes and said to me: "Because I want to trust you. After things become like this, I think the only person I can rely on is you." The good eyes revealing the sincerity of the eyes confuses me.The bad thoughts that were suppressed in the hotel just now spread in my heart again. "Stockholm syndrome," I said. ah?She parted her lips slightly as if to ask.This is also a childish and innocent expression that she has never shown. "After the terrorist and the hostage get along for a long time, there will be a bond between the two, because both sides hope that the matter can be resolved as soon as possible. This kind of psychological phenomenon seems to be said in this way, the 007 movie That's what Ri said." "I'm not a hostage, and you're not a terrorist." "It's the same, being quarantined in an abnormal state, even though it's a prank, but hoping that the exchange of hostages and ransom can go smoothly, is the same as terrorists and hostages." Shuli shook his head and said, "It's completely different." "What is it?" "The bond between the hostage and the terrorist is unnecessary, and it can be said to be unnatural. But our situation is not like this." I licked my lips, then nodded slightly and said, "A sense of solidarity is indeed necessary." "Is it? So I want to confirm the sense of solidarity between you and me." Juli's eyes caught me, and I couldn't look away.I began to feel that it was a hassle to step on the brakes, and then I thought, stepping on the brakes is already a pointless thing. She held her face with her left hand, and her lips met.It was also confirmed that her eyes were closed before the kiss. This is just a process, but there is no chance to say.If she said that, I was afraid that her temperament would be lost.I lusted after her lips, and it turned out to be Stockholm Syndrome.Did it have a psychological impact on her when she called home and talked to her father?For her, no matter what, she would feel uneasy, so she needed this man in front of her, otherwise, she would not be able to live alone. And what about myself?Do I love this little girl?How is it possible?There will be no such thing as an idiot!My concern for Shuli is not due to this kind of motivation. The reason for being together is entirely caused by other reasons.Because the other party is a young woman, there will naturally be feelings of sexual desire.It's just that I know that such a request would be a stupid behavior, which is why I haven't shown such an attitude until now, and I plan not to show it until the end. It's just that it has come to this point naturally, and it is false to say that it is not welcome.Like her, I also want to seek a kind of peace of mind.To complete such a big game, an absolute sense of trust is necessary. When a man and a woman want to confirm this point, perhaps the physical relationship is indispensable, and it may not be necessary to say that it is an illusion that it is heavier, and it is temporary. It doesn't matter if it's the anger of love or the illusion of love.That's what Stockholm Syndrome is. When Jyuri took out the condom, I was quite surprised.Probably just brought it out of the hotel, so it can be said that she had such expectations.Perhaps she had the idea that in order to deepen the sense of solidarity with each other, there must be a physical relationship.This may or may not be standard practice for her. In this narrow car, our bodies are combined with each other, stimulating each other's mucous membranes.In my eyes, Juli seems to be very used to sex, and knows how to get pleasure from it. After finishing, Juli said that he would take out the garbage and get out of the car, but he didn't go back to the car right away. I also put on my pants and opened the car door. She was standing a little far away from the car, and I called her from behind: "What are you doing?" "Ah, nothing, just looking at the scenery." Where I was also looking towards her, I could see the ocean faintly. When I pulled my gaze back, something caught my eye, and I burst out laughing. "What's the matter?" "Look! There is actually a stone statue of Ksitigarbha in such a place!" She turned around, as if confirming: "Really, I didn't even notice." "I just said that it doesn't look like I'm in Japan at all." "Yeah," Shuli's eyes softened a lot, then she took my hand and hugged her and said, "It's getting colder, let's go back." "Okay." I nodded and kissed her again.
