Chapter 26 chapter 2

Three nights after Sakagami was murdered, I sat in the car with Toko. "Have you thought it through?" Fuyuko, who was holding the steering wheel with her right hand, asked.As she spoke, her eyes were still fixed on the front.About tens of meters ahead along the road where we parked, there is a white bungalow. Dongzi's eyes are looking at that house.The Mercedes-Benz that Yumi Yamamori took entered the parking lot about an hour ago. "I'll take the responsibility, don't worry." I said to her profile. "I'm not worried! If President Yamamori knew that we did it, he probably wouldn't have contacted the police! If he was worried, he probably only had this car—I've been worried about it since just now, for fear of it being scratched. "

After saying this, Dongzi tapped on the steering wheel.This car, a white Mercedes, was borrowed from a writer she knew well. Even if I use a tougher method, I have to meet with Yumi Yamamori and ask the matter out-this decision itself is very good, but as I have always worried, meeting Yumi Yamamori is not so easy. There will be that white Mercedes-Benz car to pick you up at Qiming School.During the violin lessons twice a week, the teacher personally picked her up in the parking lot, and took her back to the car after class. She was very well protected. Other than that, she hardly ever goes out at all.I heard that the church I would have gone to hadn't been there since the day I pressed the question last time.

Therefore, after repeated discussions with Dongzi, we decided to set the goal on violin lessons.That being said, there is actually no particular reason.If I have to say it, it may just be because the violin teacher's house is located in a mountainous area, and there are fewer pedestrians. We can expect the darkness of the night to help a little bit! Not long after, the clock on the Mercedes showed 8:40. After I saw it, I opened the door on the right and got out of the car, and then walked quickly to the house where Yumi Yamamori should be practicing the violin now. The Western-style bungalow is surrounded by a very impressive brick wall, and there is a parking lot that can accommodate two cars next to it.The only thing parked there now is the white Mercedes.I peeked into the driver's seat and found the driver dozing in the reclining chair.

I went around to the driver's seat and knocked on the window.Looking from his direction, my face should be hard to see because of the backlight. The driver slowly opened his eyes a slit, then suddenly jumped up in a panic and opened the electric window. "That... I'm sorry, can you move the car away first?" I said in a very apologetic voice. The driver seemed to be wondering who I was, but in the end he didn't ask anything, and just said with a slightly incredulous expression: "Is there any inconvenience?" "Because the truck that will load the goods will come in later." I said, "So we have to move the goods in from here."

In fact, there is an entrance and exit similar to that for unloading at the rear of the parking lot. The driver looked back at the entrance and said, "I see." He nodded understandingly, "Then where should I park this car?" "There is a coffee shop a little ahead of here," I pointed to the distance of the road, "You can park in the parking lot there for a short rest. We will call you after Ms. Yumi's class is over." Then I took out a thousand-dollar bill and gave it to him.The driver accepted it while saying sorry.Then he revived the engine. After confirming that the white Mercedes had left in the direction of the coffee shop, I turned in the opposite direction and made a big circle with my hands.The same engine sound as the Mercedes just now came from a distance. After the two headlights came on, the car slowly approached me.

Our white Mercedes parked in front of me. "It seems to be going smoothly!" Dongzi said. "The good show is about to start now! In a short time, the violin class will end." "Do you want to keep the engine running?" "OK!" So Dongzi got out of the car without turning off the engine, and then opened the rear door.After doing these things, we hid in the parking lot. If you listen carefully, you can hear the melody of the violin fluttering.This should be from Meera!The powerful and smooth timbre may be said to be her hidden inner expression. Unexpectedly, we enjoyed a musical performance.After a while, the violin music disappeared from our ears.We watched the surrounding situation in the parking lot.

The sound of the door opening came from the hallway, and the sound of conversation also came out.After we nodded to each other, we walked out slowly. "Huh? I didn't see Mr. Zhongshan! Where did he go?" A tall woman said while holding Yumi's hand and looking at us. This woman is the violin teacher, and Zhongshan is probably the driver's name!She looked at us, but there was no interest in her eyes.I think she may think that the two of us are just passers-by! The tall woman put Yumi in the back of our Mercedes and slammed the door.Then, as if saying something, he raised his head and looked around.It seemed that she had no doubts about the white Mercedes in front of her.

"Let's go!" I said. "No problem!" Dongzi replied. The two of us took big strides and approached the Mercedes-Benz directly.The teacher originally looked at us with suspicious eyes, and then his expression became a little suspicious.But what made her face change decisively was the moment when Dongzi sat in the driver's seat in a normal way.The violin teacher opened her mouth wide, but she didn't seem to know what lines to say in such a situation. "Here's my business card." I tried to sound as calm as I could, and held the card in front of her.She reached out to take it, her mouth still open.It's really interesting how humans react when they encounter things they don't expect.

"Please tell Mr. Yamamori, we will definitely send his daughter back safely." When I finished speaking, I also sat in the back seat.Yumi who sat in first didn't seem to understand what happened. "That, that, wait a minute!" "Please say hello to Mr. Yamamori for us." Leaving the violin teacher with my business card in his hand, our white Mercedes drove away. Not long after the car drove, Yumi realized that the person sitting next to her was the female reasoning writer who had talked to her at church a few days ago.Might recognize it because of my perfume smell.

"I have to do this," I apologized to her, but Yumi didn't reply. The place where Dongzi parked was next to a park less than one kilometer away from Shanmori's house.It was a simple park with only swings and concrete blocks in the shape of animals.Because it was too sunny, there were not even couples in it. "I want to continue what we talked about the other two days," I said, "will you talk to me?" Yumi silently touched the violin case.Maybe through this action, she can calm down her emotions! "Father, he..." After a while of silence, she finally opened her mouth and said softly, "You can't talk casually... He said that I was not conscious at that time, and it was impossible to remember anything clearly .” Her voice trembled slightly.

"But you are confident that your memory is correct?" There was another silence. "are not there?" She shook her head. "I don't know. Dad said I was mixing up dreams and reality..." "Yumi!" I grabbed her hand.Her wrist was so thin that I was surprised, as if it would break if I squeezed hard. "Did I say it before? People may be killed all the time! There is only one way to save them, and that is to catch the criminal first, and your memory is very necessary for this matter. Even if this memory, like It doesn't matter if the dream is the same as the eight-treasure porridge in reality, because there must be another clue hidden in this eight-treasure porridge." I stared at Yumi's face, and Toko seemed to be staring at Yumi through the rear-view mirror.The uncomfortable atmosphere inside the car, which was not very spacious, made me feel even narrower. "You should know Mr. Sakagami, right?" Because Yumi tilted her head, I added, "Takato Sakagami! He is an actor, and he was one of the people who went to the beach with you last year." Her lovely lips moved a little.I looked at her lips and continued, "He was killed too." Her lips twitched again, then she looked at me and said, "You lied to me?" "It's true, it's also reported on the TV news!" I said as I thought, it seemed pointless to tell her about TV.The same goes for newspapers.At Shanmori's house, someone should read the newspaper news to her and tell her the social dynamics!If this is the case, maybe Feng Sakagami's death was deliberately concealed from her. "You may not know it, but it's true. Mr. Sakagami was killed, and the criminals are killing everyone involved in the shipwreck last year one by one!" There was an all-too-clear fear in the girl's eyes.I saw through Yumi's confusion—her heart was shaking. "Your father may also be targeted!" I deliberately said in a voice without cadence.Then she gasped deeply. "Dad, he was also..." "Mom, too!" Said Dongzi, who had been silent all along, sitting in the driver's seat.The words she said could be said to be the most effective blow, because Yumi's body trembled for an instant. "Well, that's right." I said, "Indeed, mother may also be the target of the criminal! And Yumi—you too." Yumi lowered her head deeply and maintained this position for several seconds.Then she lifted her head, took a deep breath, and turned her head to face me. "That... If I say it here... will you help us find a way?" I exchanged glances with Dongzi through the rear-view mirror, and she in the mirror nodded slightly. "We'll figure it out," I said. "In short, as long as it's within our capabilities, we'll do it." Yumi lowered her head and whispered, "Please don't tell anyone!" "I promise you." I nodded.
