Chapter 12 Section 11

They stayed up all night and sat in Chizuru's room waiting, but Chizuru didn't come back.In the morning, Shisheng found two cake rolls in the refrigerator and asked Tuoshi if he wanted to eat them.Takumi has no appetite at all.Shi Sheng drank milk from a Tetra Pak carton and ate up two cake rolls. "She's not coming back." Shi Sheng said cautiously. Takumi ignored him.He didn't want to start at all, just sat on the bed in a daze, with his hands on his knees. "Any clues?" Shi Sheng asked again. "Clue? What do you mean?" "That's why Qianhe disappeared from the world."

"If I knew, why worry!" Tuoshi sighed. "It's too sudden. Could it be related to your interview yesterday?" Takumi couldn't go back.He thought of that too. "Tuoshi, did you really go to the interview?" Shi Sheng stabbed him sharply. "I went, but I was not hired. What can I do? Is it my fault?" Shi Sheng scratched his head, as if he felt that he couldn't say that. At eleven o'clock in the morning, the door was opened.They thought it was Qianzuru, but the one who poked his head in was a strange fat man in his thirties wearing overalls.

It turned out that the man was recycling waste, as if Qianhe called to move things.Three other young men who worked odd jobs also entered the house.They moved out all the furniture and electrical appliances one after another with the usual swiftness of a professional mover. Even the books on the bookshelves, the dishes and spoons in the cupboard, and the curtains on the windows all remained intact. take away.Within an hour, the house was an empty shell.Takumi and Tokio remained in the empty room. "She told me to put this in the mailbox..." The fat man handed over the key to the room, and Tuoshi took it.

"It was Hayase Chizuru who called you here?" "yes." "No contact address?" "I stayed, and said that if there is anything, I can find it here." The fat man took out a note.Tuoshi was disappointed when he saw it. It was his name and address written on it. Back to my residence, the feeling of loss is still the same.Tuoshi sat cross-legged in the middle of the room, thinking about the reason why Qianhe left: her departure was not without reason.She didn't leave suddenly until now, it should be said that she was lucky, but I couldn't figure out why she left so suddenly.

Shi Sheng didn't strike up a conversation with him, he just dealt with it casually.He wanted to smoke, but the pack was empty and he had no money to buy any more.Under such circumstances, it was logical for Qianhe to leave him. In the evening, he went out of the house again, followed by Shi Sheng. "If you want to follow you, just follow, but you have to walk." "Where are you going?" "Kinshicho." Shi Sheng stopped.Tuoshi said without turning his head: "If you don't want to go, go back to the room and wait." After a few seconds, there were footsteps behind Tuoshi catching up.

In an alley in front of Kinshicho Station, there is a bar called "Violet", opposite the coffee shop where Takumi worked.Violet's door has a "Open" sign. Tuoshi pushed open the door, and saw the bartender and mother Sang chatting enthusiastically across the counter.Qianhe said that the two had an affair.There is no one in the store. "Welcome." The bartender raised his head.This man has a praying mantis face. "Sorry, we are not customers." Tuoshi bowed his head and saluted, "Is Qianhe here?" "Qianhe?" The bartender frowned and looked at Mama-san.

"Are you..." Mama Sang, who was wearing heavy makeup, asked. "Chizuru's boyfriend." "Oh——" She looked at Tuoshi from head to toe, "Where is that little brother, is he a friend?" "Yes, please take care of me." Shi Sheng bowed politely. Mama-san turned her gaze back to Tuoshi's face. "Qianhe quit, just yesterday, quite suddenly. Don't you know?" "Why did she quit all of a sudden?" "How do I know? She's gone, and we're also in trouble. Where can we find someone to replace her? She said she didn't want her daily salary, maybe there was something important, so she let her go."

"Daily salary, is it the part up to today?" "yes." Half of the month is over.This amount is not insignificant to Qianhe, why would she rather give up and leave in a hurry? "Speaking of which, two or three days ago, Qianhe said something inexplicable. He said that he wanted to ask a friend to go for an interview with a company that recruited security guards. Was it you?" "what." "Well, it really is you." Mama-san smiled maliciously, "The personnel director there is our guest, and Qianzu asked him to take care of her friend. So, how did your interview result go?"

Takumi was speechless. Mama-san and the bartender looked at each other and smiled again. "Failed? That would be a waste of Qianhe's hard work." Tuo Shi's heart was on fire, but he still held it back. "Did Chizuru say where he was going?" "I didn't say anything. We don't care about the whereabouts of this kind of person. Really, we used to take care of her like that." Takumi wanted to say, Qianzuru said that you always tried every means to deduct wages, but she held back. "Then, I'll take my leave." Tuoshi lowered his head, ready to go out.

"If you know where Qianhe is, can you tell us?" Shisheng asked. Tuo Shi scolded in his heart, is this damn old woman so kind? Mother Sang slightly hesitated, but nodded reluctantly. "Okay, then leave a call." Tuoshi took a paper coaster next to him, and wrote down the address and phone number with a ballpoint pen.Mom Sang looked at it, curled her lips and said, "Is it a public phone?" "I'm going to put it on myself soon." "Then you have to work before you can buy it." She said, throwing the paper coaster on the counter. Tuoshi and Shisheng came out of the bar, and two men walked towards them, both wearing black suits.They passed Takumi and entered Violet.

"This kind of guests also come." Tuo Shi whispered. "What guest?" "It's not a serious person, you can tell it at a glance." He recalled seeing people with the same eyes in the sales company. "Underworld?" "Almost. There are people in the world who are neither hooligans nor decent." It's one of the things he's learned from his constant job-hopping experience. They have no money and just walk home.The two walked side by side listlessly, and there was still a long way to go back to Asakusa. "About the interview, you said someone went through the back door, right?" "Yes, I said so." "But just now I heard from Mama-san that Qianhe has already made an agreement with others. What's going on here?" "Who knows? How useful a barmaid's words can be?" "Tuoshi, did you really go to the interview?" "What, you mean I lied?" "No. But if you didn't go to the interview, maybe Chizuru already knew about it. She might have asked the HR director." "I went, of course I went." Tuoshi quickened his pace. In fact, he is also thinking about it.Chizuru will definitely do this, and if she knows her attitude in that company, she may feel that it is pointless to live together again.But it's not like you have to move out of the apartment. "Yes, now I understand." Shi Sheng murmured. "Understand what?" "The situation of breaking up with Qianhe. I used to think that she is really nice, even if she married you, it would be quite natural." "Hey, don't keep talking in this past tense, okay? Whether to break up or not, hasn't the final decision been made yet?" "It's over, now it's fate—" Tuoshi grabbed Shisheng's neckline, clenched his right fist, and swung his arm back violently.Shi Sheng twitched his face and closed his eyes.Seeing this, Takushi couldn't make a move for some reason, and a wonderful feeling similar to pity and affection surged up. Tuoshi let go, and pushed Shisheng away.Shi Sheng put his hand across his throat, coughing continuously. "You don't understand my feelings at all." After speaking, Tuoshi walked forward. When I went down the Agatsuma Bridge, my legs were exhausted.After walking by, Takumi stopped in his tracks. "Ah, it hasn't changed at all. It should have opened in the 13th year of Meiji. Oh, and the signboard is still the same," Shi Sheng was very excited, "although twenty years have passed." "Twenty years? Hey, when are you talking about?" "Ah, I was thinking, nothing will change in another twenty years." "Who knows? It will definitely go bankrupt in another twenty years." Tuoshi walked in. "What's the matter!" Shi Sheng responded and followed in. There are a few old tables in the store, and office workers after the day's work are sitting around the tables.Tuo Shi looked around and fixed his eyes on a table in the back. Kanji Sato, in gray overalls, was drinking beer with his companions, and the appetizers were edamame and fried small fish.Toshi stepped forward and patted his shoulder. "Hey." Sato, with his crew-shaven head, looked up at him with blatant disgust. "It is you!" "Don't look at me like that, okay? Aren't we partners who delivered sushi together?" "It's too bad you have the nerve to say it! You stole the money and ran away, which made me lose my job." "Why bring up old accounts? We meet again after a long absence, why don't we have a drink?" "You can drink as much as you want, but please find another table." "How do you talk, so ruthless? Sitting next to you and drinking is not in your way." "I'm sorry. You can't hide your tricks from me. It's no way to want us to count your share when we pay the bill." Sato turned his face away. Takumi scratched the tip of his nose: the idea has been refuted. "Okay, okay, to be serious, I'm suffering from a lack of money now, lend me a thousand yuan, and pay it back immediately, it's considered I owe you." He said softly, holding his hands together. Namaste. Sato smacked his lips and waved his hands like chasing flies. "Go away! How can I lend you any money!" "Don't be so heartless, please." Tuoshi nodded his head in a low voice. "Okay, I can lend you a thousand yuan, but you have to pay back the three thousand yuan you borrowed during the god sacrifice last summer. Haven't you paid that back?" Exactly.It seemed that there was nothing to do, Takushi gave up.Just as he was about to leave the table, he suddenly grabbed a small fried fish from the plate in front of Sato. "Ah, bastard!" Hearing Sato's scolding behind him, Takumi ran out of the store. He ran all the way to Leimen before he stopped, chewed on the fried fish, and looked behind him.He thought Shi Sheng didn't follow, but Shi Sheng was standing not far away, staring straight at him. "What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like this?" When he grew up, he sighed. "It's too embarrassing!" "what?" "Isn't it ashamed to keep thinking about knocking people off? Even I feel ashamed. I thought you would look better." "Then I'm sorry, I'm just like that." Takumi continued to chew on the fried fish. "Stealing other people's things, isn't that the same as a wild dog?" "Yes, I'm a wild dog, just like a cat or a dog." Tuoshi threw the fish bone in his hand at Shisheng, "I want to give birth if I want to give birth, and throw it away if I think it's troublesome after giving birth. Such a child can still be confused." Does it look like a person?" Shi Sheng showed a sad look on his face, and slowly shook his head. "Being born into this world, and for that alone, one should be grateful." "Hmph, don't sing any clichés, who can't have a baby?" He turned around and left. However, he immediately felt someone behind him, and his shoulders were grabbed.When he turned around, he saw that Shisheng was about to beat him up.His body reacted faster than his mind, he leaned back to avoid the fist, and then threw a straight punch. In an instant, he had already reduced his strength, but the punch still crushed Shisheng's cheek, causing him to fly more than two meters away and fall to the ground. "It hurts..." Shi Sheng covered his face with his hands. "What are you messing around with?" Pedestrians on the street thought they were fighting, and surrounded them one after another. Seeing the beating person, they pulled the beaten person up again, and the fight seemed to be relieved again. "Tuoshi, come with me." Shisheng said, still covering his face. "Where are you going?" "Aichi Prefecture, go to Ms. Tojo. Otherwise, the matter cannot be resolved." As soon as he heard "Tojo", Takumi's heart became cold.He stood up, ignored Shisheng's call, and left. When he reached the apartment, he turned his head.Shi Sheng staggered to follow.Takumi sighed: It's still unknown what the origin of this guy is, but he always feels very happy with him, which is really strange. After Shi Sheng followed, Tuoshi went up the stairs, unlocked the door, and walked into the room.The room was pitch black.Suddenly, someone tightened his neck. "Miyamoto Takumi?" A deep voice came from the darkness. -------------------------------- Note:
