Chapter 10 chapter Ten

Call the Garden Hotel to make an appointment for tonight's accommodation.Then the call was transferred to the front desk. A male hotel attendant answered the phone and asked how many people wanted to stay. I replied that there was only one person. "Yes, a single room will be prepared for you tonight." "If possible, I hope it can be a room facing the main road." "You mean the one on the front of the restaurant?" "It should be. And it's better not to be too high a floor." "Please wait a moment." After waiting for about twenty seconds, the voice of the hotel waiter sounded again.

"Yes, is the room on the fifteenth floor okay?" "The fifteenth floor... not bad. Just this room." "Understood. May I ask your name and contact number?" After casually saying a name and a phone number I hung up. "Which hotel did you book?" Juli asked me while sitting on the sofa. "Garden Hotel. It's not bad near here. The crab roe and shark's fin soup in the Chinese restaurant is superb. The chef of French cuisine seems to be an old gentleman who has won the most medals in Japan." Halfway through my words, Juli began to shake her head and said:

"I'm asking why you want to book a restaurant? It's impossible to book a restaurant for dinner, right? Or... are you going to use it as an underground command office?" "There is no need for a new underground command post. The hotel is only for today." "For the ransom?" I shrugged and smiled and said, "I don't do that kind of thing." "Then what are your plans? For what purpose do you want to use it? What method are you going to use to get the ransom?" Shuli asked a little hysterically. "You don't need to press like this."

"Still, you don't tell me anything, aren't we partners?" "I'll tell you when the time comes." "Now is not the time? Didn't Dad reply online? Said that the money is ready. And the mobile phone number is also written on it. Then we will wait to get the money, right?" I sighed, blinked slowly and said: "I've said it several times. This is a game for a lifetime. It's not that simple. If you don't follow the order step by step, it's impossible to achieve your goal. This action is just one of the steps." "But you were the one who ordered the money... put the money in the golf bag..."

"This is necessary in order to take the next step. You have also played video game consoles, you should know." "I've never played a video game console." "Yes! Shut up now and just watch me do it!" She probably couldn't understand it, so she nodded unconvinced. For breakfast and lunch, I simply finished the thick soup made by Juli yesterday, and I started to prepare things for going out.Pull out the sports bag from the closet and put the camera, tripod and binoculars in the bag.The binoculars were brought from friends who are interested in bird watching.

"Today is Saturday. I think there should be vacancies for double rooms, but even if there are vacancies, there should be no way to specify the rooms and floors." "You mean I can go too?" "Just be careful not to attract the attention of the restaurant. Then, you do a little bit of drag, but in a natural way." After speaking, Juli stood in front of me, put his hands on his waist and looked down. "what?" "Why? Not why. How do you want me to change clothes? No clothes, no makeup. If I want to be able to change clothes, I can only become a young tramp!?"

Hahaha!I laughed out loud.It's really funny! "Or just wait at home. I think the police should already know the clothes you were wearing when you disappeared. And considering that the kidnappers may use the hotel, they might have sent a report." "I must go with you. Although I don't know what you plan to do, I think it will be more convenient for you if I am here." I looked into her eyes, and her eyes said there was no compromise this time.Before that, I kept telling myself repeatedly in my heart that I had to act alone next time.But it's easier to do things when she's around, and I think it's true.

I put down the sports bag in my hand and said, "I really can't do anything with you, let's go out." "Can I go to the restaurant together!?" "Go shopping first before that." I think there is probably no kidnapper like me.Go shopping in a department store in Ginza with the daughter of a kidnapped family. Because of this, it may disrupt the police's investigation, but it also makes people unable to settle down. It seems that Juli’s mood has not been affected in any way. She picks and chooses clothes here and there. She looks like an ordinary young girl, and she is perfectly brought into the surrounding environment. I don’t have anything to say about her. Tell her: Think about what we buy for!

But she wasn't an idiot in the first place, and she didn't dress up enough to impress the clerk.She moved subtly while looking for clothes, so I might be the one who might be impressed.Because from the beginning until now, I have been standing in front of the window and looking at her expressionlessly.From the perspective of the boyfriend who is caught by the young girlfriend to go shopping together, I believe that no matter which director, he should not call NG. Shuli finally came out of the store, holding a paper bag in his hand. "I seem to have bought some things. I thought it might take a little longer." I said sarcastically.

"This is the first time I've bought something so fast, but I've been in the store for a long time, and I'm afraid the clerk will leave an impression, so I just pick and choose." "Well... that's really remarkable." "The next step is cosmetics. Let's go! Go to the first floor." Juli's voice sounded a little excited. I was drinking coffee at the tea lounge while Jyuri was shopping for cosmetics.Leaving her alone is somewhat uneasy, but it's useless if I'm around.Compared with Shibuya, the chance of meeting acquaintances in Ginza is almost zero, and I believe what she said.

She came back about thirty minutes later and my eyes widened looking at her face. "You put on makeup?" "Yeah. By the way." Shuli said while sitting across from me.The waiter came over and she ordered a cup of milk tea. "You didn't ask the clerk to do your makeup for you, did you?" "I have no reason to do this. I borrowed a mirror to transform myself. Don't worry, in that kind of place, no one will visit you. Everyone only cares about the face reflected in the mirror in front of you." "Come on, I already care so much about letting people see your face just to make shops and restaurants, let alone this." "I've already told you it's okay." She took out the cigarettes from her purse, only to realize that this was a non-smoking area, and put them back unhappy. The milk tea was delivered, and I looked at her face drinking tea without question.The makeup was not too heavy, and her delicate skin was more radiant and outstanding after putting on makeup.The eye and nose switches are emphasized more clearly than the original silhouette. "Why are you looking at others together like this? Are you still worried?" "No, nothing." I dodged my eyes and said, "There is one more thing to buy." "What is it this time?" "Necessities for the game." Take a taxi again and drive to Akihabara.In the taxi, I took five 10,000-yuan bills to Shuli. "This? What are you doing?" "The money for shopping, please go and buy." "You say that, I don't know what to buy!?" "I'll tell you what to buy when the time comes, just do as I tell you." Juli puffed up her mouth again, I didn't want the taxi driver to hear our conversation. We got off at the side of Showa Road. Electric Town on Saturday is very mixed, which is just right for us who don't want to impress.And Jyuri also wore a hat to cover his eyes. A little far from the famous electrical shopping street, we walked into an alley, where there were many people, but the atmosphere was a bit different.And the side-by-side shops here can also attract all kinds of fans. I noticed one person right away, an Iranian with a black beard. "You go to that person's side and ask her if she has any tricks." I whispered in Shuli's ear. "Wang Baji?" "It's a cell phone, a human head's mobile phone." "Oh, oh!" She nodded and said, "I seem to have heard of it." "Don't ask the manufacturer, 50,000 yuan should be enough, you have to pay first. Then he will tell you to go with him, don't talk and go with him. I will wait for you here." "Aren't you coming with me?" "It will be troublesome if it is considered to be a disguised search by the police. I want you to buy it to avoid such problems. It may be a little scary, come on!" Shuli's eyes suddenly looked uneasy, but immediately nodded heavily and said: "Got it, I'm going!" She walked towards the man. Juli was talking to the Iranian while I watched from a distance.The guest was a young girl, and the Iranians didn't seem too surprised.There are also rumors among some women that you can buy a mobile phone in this place. I also heard it from one of the women who bought this kind of mobile phone. As expected, they started moving, turning a corner.Shuli didn't look back, it was really amazing. The person holding the product should be waiting in the car.Because if it is discovered, it can escape quickly. About fifteen minutes later, Juli came back.I also breathed a sigh of relief. "The task is completed!" She said over a small paper bag in her hand, "I even got a gift." "Gift?" "Calling cards, they say you can make as many calls as you want. The face value is 50 degrees, but you will withdraw it when you use it at zero degrees, and you can return to 50 degrees to use it later. I smiled wryly and said, "Have you ever used a public phone?" For these Iranians, counterfeit calling cards were their main commodity before.However, after the popularization of mobile phones, calling cards were no longer sold, and the products that replaced them were so-called bullshit phones. "Those people speak Japanese well, how do you recite it?" "Those who survive are desperate. Those who alter phone cards are also desperate. If you don't work hard, wait for them to replace you." "The police are the same. If you want to report their words, you should learn their language desperately." "That's what happened." Just after I finished speaking, I stopped.Jyuri, who was walking while holding my hand, staggered a step. "Why, don't stop suddenly like this, okay?" "I thought of a good way." I smiled at her and said, "The game is about to begin!" After taking a taxi back to the apartment, I started the front-end work again.Finally put the laptop in the bag and you're ready to go! "Then, it may be a bit long-winded for me to contact you later, but definitely don't enter through the main entrance of the hotel." "I know, it's really long-winded." I wanted to say that it was because I doubted whether you knew what you were doing that made me so long-winded, but I endured it for now.I went out first, and the time on the watch was three o'clock in the afternoon. It only takes a few minutes to take a taxi to the Garden Hotel.I got out of the car at the main entrance and walked to the counter.I was dressed in a dark gray suit with a shirt and tie, pretending to be an office worker on a business trip to Tokyo for the holidays.Because the area code of the phone number mentioned casually when booking a room is Nagoya. I wrote a fake name, a fake address, and a fake phone number on the registration card, and paid 50,000 yuan in advance to complete the housing registration procedures.I only looked at the waiter's hands during the day, trying not to raise my head for safety. The room they gave me was room 1526.I declined their guidance and took the elevator up by myself. I opened the curtains as soon as I entered the room, and I could see the Hakozaki Interchange of the Shuto Expressway diagonally to the lower left.I took the binoculars out of the bag and quickly adjusted the focus.A dark blue domestic car coming from the direction of Ginza just crossed the line of sight. The first stage is passed.I let out a sigh of relief.I have stayed in this hotel before, so I know that I can see the interchange.Of course, when I lived in this hotel at that time, I never expected to use it. I picked up the phone and called back to my residence.After three beeps, the answering machine started to speak, and after one beep, I spoke: "In room 1526, please knock when you come in." After saying this, I hung up the phone.After hearing this message, Juli should go out immediately.I told her to take a taxi, but get off at Suitengumae Station on the Subway Hanzomon Line.Then enter the underground walkway from there, and then use the sidewalk to enter the restaurant.The second basement floor of the hotel is next to the subway station, and you can take the elevator directly from the basement floor to the guest room floor.In other words, you can completely avoid restaurant counters and places where people gather. I took off my jacket, loosened my tie, and started front work. First, I set up the camera on a tripod and placed it by the window, then looked at the LCD screen, and adjusted the angle and lens of the camera.All cars coming from Ginza can be included in the mirror. Then take out the laptop.Plug the phone cord you brought into the phone socket next to your desk.In order to meet the needs of business guests, in addition to the in-house return line for telephone use, this hotel has also increased the telephone return line that can use the computer network.This is also what I knew when I moved in last time. I turned on the computer and tried to connect to the internet, so far so good.Just to be on the safe side, I looked at the CPT fan club website. "Julie" left a new message on it. The long wait (Julie) The order is placed and the money is ready, but you haven't had any contact yet. You say you hope to get what you want early, but you don't know what are you waiting for? Golf bag yells at the door: Get me where I'm going. This has always made me admire, in fact, this is really a very well-written article.Anyone reading this will think this is just a dumb girl who really wants a car. In short, it can be seen from this letter that the other party is starting to feel anxious, eager to know what trick the kidnapper is going to use, and it is almost unbearable. I took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and drank it directly from the mouth of the bottle.Start to organize the plan again, you should not miss any steps, and you should not worry about being caught in a loophole. I looked at the clock, and it has been thirty minutes since I made the call, what the hell is Shuli doing? Thirty minutes later, there was finally a knock on the door. "Excuse me who is it?" Or ask first. "It's me!" After hearing such an answer, I opened the door. "What the hell are you doing? Change your clothes..." I can't continue talking here, Jyuri has dyed a head of light brown hair that is close to golden, and it has become shorter! Hehehe, she smiled treacherously, and reached out to fiddle with her short hair. "What are you doing!?" "I dyed it, isn't it good!?" She stepped into the room cautiously, looked around the room, then walked to the window, looked closely at the camera and said, "What are you shooting?" This is not the time to answer her questions. "what do you really want?" "what?" "Your head! It's so eye-catching, don't you think it's dangerous?" "This? Will it stand out?" "Look yourself in the mirror!" "Because you said you were going to cross-dress, I did what I wanted. I put a lot of effort into it. I cut my hair, dyed it myself, and changed my clothes. Look! Compared with me just now, I have completely changed. Be alone!" She was wearing a red sleeveless T-shirt and a black skirt underneath.Jewelry and shoes were also changed, and I was taken aback.When was that bought? "Didn't I say not to be too conspicuous?" I don't know if she was listening to me, but she just sat on the bed, bouncing up and down like a child playing with a spring bed, with a smile on her face. "Hey, are you really an advertising person? It's strange that you make such a fuss because of this!? Now, the black-haired ones are different." "Then why do those people dye their hair? Is it to not attract attention? No, aren't they just to attract attention!?" "It may have been true at first, but it's different now. Black hair makes people feel very earthy. In order not to make people feel earthy, I dyed my hair." I shake my head.Now is not the time to argue about such frivolous matters. "In short, I will dye it back to the original color after I go back. Maybe you forgot, you are a hostage. Isn't it strange that the hair color of the hostage changed during the kidnapping?" "Let's put it this way, the prisoner is a weirdo, so he dyed the hostage's hair as a half-play." "That's the end of the unreasonable trouble!" I used the mobile phone I bought in Akihabara, handed it to her and said, "Okay, the game starts, call your father's mobile phone!" "I hit?" Seeing the surprise on her face, she finally woke up! "I originally wanted to call it by myself, but it's another matter when I'm with you. I try not to let Mr. Katsuragi hear my voice, although the possibility of your father remembering my voice is very low." "What are you going to say on the phone?" "I've already thought about this, come here for a while." I let her sit in front of the computer, and then pressed the keyboard, and an article appeared on the screen.I wrote this while I was waiting for her.This post is divided into several projects. I first pointed to the first article and said: "Start here first. After finishing this content, hang up the phone immediately." Juli read the article written on it with serious eyes.Looking at her face, I can't help but think that whatever she does is a show.Whether it's the strange audacity of shopping, or the dyeing of hair, it's all an act to hide my insecurities. "Is it okay to use this phone?" "Please keep your time as short as possible. If it takes too long, you will be locked in which area." call!She took a deep breath, looked at the phone number keys and said: "immediately?" "Right away! This is the number." I put the note with Katsuragi Katsutoshi's cell phone number in front of her and said, "If you don't hurry up, it's going to be dark." "It's bad when it gets dark, isn't it?" "This camera is not an infrared camera, and the telescope is not a night vision lens." She probably understood the meaning of what I said, nodded silently, took another deep breath, changed to holding the phone with her left hand, and her right fingers were close to the keys.She looked at the note and carefully pressed the numbers one by one. After pressing, she put the phone close to her ear and closed her eyes gently. I could also hear the phone ringing, and after two rings the call was connected. "Hey, it's me! Juli! Don't say anything, listen to me first!" She faced the computer, and then continued: "Now, I will go out in ten minutes from now, please put the golf bag and bags in the trunk. Dad is the only one in the car. Take the Metropolitan Expressway and drive towards Mukaijima Interchange... Mukaishima, Mukaido, the island of the island. If possible, just drive according to the speed limit. I will follow up again You contact... sorry. No time to talk." After hanging up the phone, she looked at me with pleading eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly.I gave her a small kiss on my lips and said, "Well done!" "Is it me who will contact you next time?" "Basically yes, the communication is up to you." "Basically what?" "You'll know later." I operate the computer, go online again, adjust the traffic information website of the Highway Administration, and I enter this website.The LCD screen displays a map of the Capital Expressway. The route is displayed in white. Depending on the traffic jam, it will be red or yellow. Today the traffic is smoother than usual, but there are still some places showing some color. I found the route that Katsuragi Katsutoshi might choose, and there was no serious traffic jam, only a little red near the Hakozaki Interchange. I looked at the clock and the route map of the capital expressway interactively, my throat was quite thirsty, so I could drink up the remaining mineral water for work.Shuli also drank the Coke, neither of them spoke.I toggle traffic info from time to time, but it doesn't change much.If there was a change, there must have been a car accident.I can only pray in my heart that this never happens! Looking at the clock, I flicked my finger and said, "Juri! Phone!" With a nervous expression, she picked up the phone and said: "What's the next step?" "Ask him where he is now, as long as this is fine." She nodded and made a call: "Hey, it's me! Where are you now?...Ah, Bamboo Bridge? Just passed the Bamboo Bridge." I made an OK gesture, and she hastily cut off the phone. "It's a bamboo bridge." "I know." Keeping an eye on the road map of the capital city, the traffic from the Takebashi Interchange to the Edo Bridge is smooth. You can run at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.It's a bit congested from Edobashi to Hakozaki.That's the question - the timing!Timing is everything, I can only trust my instincts! I snapped my finger again and said, "Make a call and confirm the location!" Shuli pressed the redial button, and it seemed that the connection was made immediately. "Where are you now?... We're going to Edo Bridge soon." I stood up and gave her an OK gesture, and she hung up the phone hastily. I stood by the window and checked the camera position again.I waved her over. "Call in a minute and instruct him to get off at the Hakozaki Interchange and hand over the phone to me." "To you? You want to talk to him?" "Hey, I'll tell him from then on." I nodded as I spoke. About a minute later, Juli called.I stood by and took a can of double-toned gas out of the bag. "Hello, it's me. Get off the Hakozaki Interchange. Ah, don't hang up the phone!" After speaking in a hurry, Juri handed me the phone. I took a deep breath before taking the phone. It should be a very light mobile phone, but it feels quite heavy.Heartbeat also started to speed up. Standing by the window, I hold my phone close to my ear in one hand and a telescope in the other.And the camera started rolling. The driver could not be seen as the silver-gray Mercedes slid down the slope.Jyuri, who was looking at the camera screen, exchanged glances with me, she nodded silently, it was Katsutoshi Katsuragi's car! I held the voice-changing gas to my mouth, took a deep breath, and finished speaking in one breath: "Don't get off the highway, go into the circular lane!" Juli, who was listening to me, looked at me dumbfounded, which is not incomprehensible, because my voice suddenly became like Donald Duck.The voice-changing gas toy, I didn't expect it to come in handy one day.This is a prop I bought for a party. Katsuragi Katsutoshi should have been shocked as well. "What did you say? Isn't it going to the direction of Mukoshima?" I took a breath of gas and replied, "Get me into the ring road!" "There is an exit to Ginza on the right, don't you need to go there?" "Get me into the ring road!" After speaking, I cut off the phone and handed it to Juli.I used binoculars to monitor the Hakozaki Interchange, and a silver-gray Mercedes passed by, followed by several cars, trucks, and taxis. Mercedes appeared again.The Hakozaki Interchange is in the shape of a small circle. If you don’t go towards the exit or go in any direction, you can go around in circles as long as you have enough gasoline. I didn't give Shuli another instruction until Mercedes appeared for the third time.She showed a very surprised expression and pressed the redial button on the phone. "Hey, it's me! The transaction is suspended! Go home and wait for the next contact... Sorry. I don't know too much." After hanging up the phone, Jyuri glared at me bitterly, and I sat down by the bed. "What does this mean? Why is trading suddenly stopped?" "Suddenly? That's not it. It was decided from the beginning." "It was decided at the beginning? Was it originally planned to stop trading?" Juli walked up to me, looked down at me and said: "Why do you want to do this?" "In order to understand the actions of the police." I stood up and turned off the camera that was on. -------------------------------- Note:
