Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

It has been ten days since I successfully got the ransom, and my life has returned to the normal pace before the kidnapping game. I get up in the morning, do simple gymnastics, and go out after having breakfast.Finish the boring stuff at work and hit the gym before going home.Going on a date this weekend, want to have fun sex this time, so need to book a decent hotel room first. It is indeed a stable day, but the staff can't even feel safe in my heart.The matter of Juli is still on my mind, why is there no report at all?I don't think it is necessary for the police to restrict the media.What's more, the message from the CPT fan club also caught my attention, because the last message completely showed that Shuli hadn't come home yet.What happened afterwards?I haven't seen any new messages since then.

If Juli returns home, then forget it.There is no report, maybe you can think of it this way, Katsuragi Katsutoshi used his power to stop the media's mouth.If it is known that a daughter of Hua Mo Nian Hua was kidnapped, there must be some speculation about whether the meat ticket was divided or not.But I always feel that things don't seem so optimistic. One of the things that made me feel uneasy was the previous apartment in Yokosuka.According to Juli, her friend Yuki seems to be renting a female-only apartment, but after investigation, there are also a bunch of men living there, and some of them are dormitories of a certain steel company!After that, I also asked the administrator, but the administrator said that there is no such suite.

Why did Shuli lie? As I tried to recall, when she said it was a women-only apartment, it went something like this: "It would be better if you don't come, because this is a female-only apartment. You can watch the boats at Yokosuka Port and wait." In other words, she didn't want me to tell such a lie all of a sudden.Why doesn't she let me follow? I remembered the last night again, when I went to Yokosuka again.At that time, I also followed to the apartment, but she was so uncertain when she led the way.From setting off to finding the apartment, it was ridiculously lost, why did it happen?

She was probably just looking for an apartment at random, I speculate.She didn't want me to go to the place where Yuki lived anyway, and then found an apartment nearby that was exactly like what she said, which means she was lying to me.Since that apartment wasn't a women-only apartment, it made sense that there wasn't a single room.Now that this statement is consistent, a new question arises, why is it that I am not allowed to go to the place where Yuki lives after it has progressed to this extent?Also, where did her 270 million hide? Is there some secret in Yuki's apartment that she doesn't want me to know, and is it necessary to insist that I not go in front of the apartment building?

Thinking of this made me question a fundamental question, does Yuki's apartment exist?No, does this friend named Yuki exist? Juli said this name at the beginning of the game.Be honest and call your friend's place and leave a message on the answering machine.I suggested to stop the game, but she said that it would be better to go to a friend's place and delete the phone messages, so I drove to Yokosuka. If there is no such person as Yuki, then the phone message is also a lie, why would she tell such a lie? There is only one possible situation, and that is to want me to go to Yokosuka, which is probably the case.But what's the point?In fact, I used Yokosuka to fake a prisoner's hiding place so carefully, but this was my idea, not Jyuri's suggestion.And all she proposed was to go to the hill where the stars could be seen.What does that mean?Why do you do that?

No matter how I think about it, I don't think Yuki's story was fabricated.So what's the rationale for the apartment lie?My mind has been spinning here, trying to find out the answer, but it's like I'm lost. There is another reason that makes me uneasy, and that is Katsutoshi Katsuragi. I heard from a colleague related to Nissei Motor’s new car promotion that Katsutoshi Katsuragi has not attended any meetings since last week, and rumor has it that he didn’t even go to the company!When I played the game with him, he was completely calm, but why didn't he go to the company when the game was over?

The faces of Katsutoshi Katsuragi and Juri and his daughter appeared in front of my eyes, and I couldn't understand what they were thinking, but I could only be chased by this situation indifferently. "I'm sorry, can you raise your left hand a little higher? Ah, that's it. It's almost like this." The bearded photographer kept pressing the shutter. The person photographed is a popular professional golfer who has been active at home and abroad recently, holding a putter and making a putt.He seems to be used to facing the camera, and his expression is rarely unnatural.In this way, you can rest assured that photography will not take a long time.

This is the shooting site of promotional prints of watches exported by a certain German watch manufacturer.I want to express the impact resistance and strong earthquake resistance of the product, so I invite golfers.What they want to show is that they are completely unaffected by the strong swing. The photos were followed by interviews about how golfers feel when they play with their watches on.Of course it wasn't for me to ask, but for the person who wrote the manuscript to interview.The interview took place in the studio's café, during which time I stared at the individual pieces.The interview part was accompanied by a junior named Yamamoto.

When the filming was finished here, the interview seemed to have just ended.After the golfers were escorted out of the gate, we began to discuss the content of the visit.The person who wrote the text had long hair and looked youthful.After talking for a while, I found that the key points of the manuscript she wanted were a bit off, so I had to tell her in detail what key points should be written.The person who wrote the manuscript was a little unhappy, but the article that wanted to show off his literary talent was of no use to us. "Mr. Sakuma hasn't changed at all, his mouth is still so spicy. The person who wrote the manuscript really wanted to write about the golfer's original appearance, so the focus of the interview was also on that." On the way back to the company's car, Shanxi said while holding the steering wheel with a strange expression.

"Advertisements that are so important to us, how can we let this kind of people do it according to their preferences! Probably, people like this also want to become non-fiction writers. People who don't even know the focus of their work, right? It's likely to pop up." "Haha! That's right." After Yamamoto laughed strangely, he lowered his voice and continued, "By the way, Mr. Sakuma, have you heard? About Mr. Katsuragi." "Mr. Katsuragi? Vice President Katsuragi?" I asked in surprise. "Well, of course. His daughter, seems to be in trouble."

My heart beat faster, I adjusted my breathing and asked: "What happened?" "I don't know too well, it seems to be missing." I turned to Yamamoto, and if he turned to look at me, he might notice the change in my expression.Fortunately, he kept looking ahead. "Missing! How to say?" My voice was a little impetuous. "The details are unclear. I also heard it from others, because this is also a rumor inside Sunstar Motors, but it seems quite well-founded. Mr. Katsuragi's absence from the company seems to be because of this matter. Don't report the case to someone." "How could there be such a rumor? Did Mr. Katsuragi tell anyone?" "I should have told someone. If the rumors are true, um..." "When did you hear that?" "This morning, just before leaving the company to come to the studio, I wanted to confirm with Mr. Sakuma whether I already knew it. But Yixin didn't have time to ask. It seems that you don't know." "totally no idea." "That's right, it's just a rumor." Yamamoto didn't know the seriousness of what he said, and continued to drive with an expression that had nothing to do with him. Fortunately, I didn’t hear it during filming. If I heard it at work, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to get into the situation, and I wouldn’t be able to calmly tell that incompetent copywriter that things were wrong and so on. Yamamoto started talking about other things.I just deal with him casually.Thinking about Shuli in my mind.she disappeared?After the kidnapping in a prank, did he really get kidnapped this time?That's too much like a TV show! ? It must have been her intention to disappear.It feels more appropriate to think about it this way.Where did it disappear to?Think here.I'm still haunted by Yuki's apartment, a crucial place. If I think about it this way: In fact, the script Juli has already thought about it from the beginning. She caught up with my game, but she didn't want to do exactly what I said, even if she got the money in the end, she didn't want to go home, she planned to hide her whereabouts, but before she settled down completely, she had to find a place to stay Because of this, I borrowed it, so I borrowed a friend's residence, and because of this, I was not allowed to know the detailed location.She thought that if I knew, I would definitely go to her when she didn't come home, but in fact I also went to Yokosuka. This inference can be justified for the time being, but there are still a few doubts.If this deduction is correct, she will have to explain to me where Yuki lives.No, even if this is the case, then there is no need to hurry to listen to the phone message.Because, if you just plan to use it as a hiding place afterwards, then it would be fine to delete the message at that time. Probably because I have been asking and answering myself in my heart for a long time, and Yamamoto stopped talking along the way. Back at the company, I was shocked when I entered the office, and there was no one in the seat. "Oh! What's going on here?" Yamamoto's voice seemed a little confused. It is an illusion to think that everyone is not there. It turns out that everyone is gathered in the corner.There was a TV set there, and there were so many people in front of the TV that it was almost impossible to see the TV screen at all. "What's going on?" Yamamoto asked a person standing. "Oh, big event! That rumor is indeed true!" "What kind of rumor is that?" "Mr. Katsuragi's daughter! She's gone missing! And it seems like it's been more than ten days." "Ugh!" Yamamoto pushed aside the others and walked forward, and I followed behind, finally able to see the TV screen.But there is only a picture of the announcer who is reporting other events.The incident of Katsuragi Juri seems to have been reported. The colleagues who turned on the TV returned to their seats one by one, and everyone talked about their impressions. "Mr. Katsuragi can't work either." "I thought it was weird before, and I wondered how that meeting was held." "The stock price of Sunstar is going to drop again because of this matter." "What could it be? Run away from home?" "It's okay if that's the case. Could it be that it's impossible to be killed?" It was Sugimoto who said this man's shocking words, and I grabbed his shoulder and asked: "Hey, let's make it clear, what happened to Mr. Katsuragi's daughter?" Sugimoto was a little surprised by my reaction. "It disappeared a few days ago, and the police started searching after that." "Search? What kind of search?" "How would I know? Other TV stations are probably still reporting." Sugimoto returned to his seat with an impatient expression. Suddenly, Yamamoto who was sitting in the back let out a cry.The TV channels were switching together, and the announcer on the screen was different from the one just now.The whereabouts of the daughter of the vice president of Rixing Automobile is unknown, so it is written in the subtitles. The report by the female announcer was similar to what Sugimoto said.Knowing that the whereabouts of Katsuragi Katsutoshi's eldest daughter, Juri, is unknown, the Metropolitan Police Department and the Daejeon Police Station speculate that they may be involved in some cases, and have launched an investigation... certain cases? How does this speed up?Why didn't they say it was kidnapping?No, what's more important than that is the fact that Juri's whereabouts are unknown.What the hell did she do? But the next second made me tremble even more!A woman's face appeared on the TV screen, which seemed to be a photo of a snapshot, and the text Ms. Katsuragi Juri was written under the photo. The female announcer continued to report on the event, but I could no longer hear what she was reporting.I'd be yelling at the TV if no one was around!Just to suppress this impulse, do you know how much effort it takes? The face of Katsuragi Juri on TV is not the face of Juli I know.It was the face of someone I didn't know at all.
