Chapter 13 Section 12

Tuoshi tried to shake off the opponent's hand, but the strength of that person was beyond imagination, and his hand didn't move at all. "What? Who is it?" He began to shake his body again. "Don't make a lot of noise." The voice came from in front of me again, and then I heard the sound of turning on the fluorescent lamp.The room was lit, and Takumi blinked. In front of him was a man in his mid-forties, sitting on a pair of magazines in the corner of the kitchen with a half-smile.Takumi had seen that face before, it was one of the two who passed by on the road when Violet came out.

"It's you? Just now..." "I met you on the road just now, right? You still remember me, I'm very careful." The man turned his gaze to the man who strangled Tuoshi's neck, "This man is not stupid, he can grasp the essentials unintentionally. he's very clever." Takumi felt the person behind him nodding. "It's natural to be happy to praise me, but Zhuge's appearance is too much to bear now." "Sorry, I did this because I was afraid that you would be ignorant and make a lot of noise." The man moved his jaw slightly, and the arm that held Takumi loosened.Takushi turned his shoulders, turned his head, and saw a man with a mustache, which was the other one he had seen on the road.

The door opened to reveal a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.Shi Sheng was dragged in by that man. "Your friend is with you, right?" the man sitting on the magazine said cheerfully. "What's going on?" Shi Sheng looked at Takumi. Takumi shook his head silently. "Don't crowd there, come in. I say so, but this is the little brother's room." Takumi took off his shoes upon hearing this. "What are you from?" he asked the man. "Sit down first." Tuoshi sat down cross-legged, and Shisheng sat beside him.Bearded men and young men stood behind them.

"This room is really dirty, it should be cleaned once in a while." The man sitting on the magazine looked around the room. Takumi wanted to say "don't mind your own business", but he held back. Although the man had a kind demeanor, he could be seen to have a hard heart.This kind of person should not be messed with, this is the experience that Takumi has learned in his life so far. "Uh, what did you ask just now?" The man patted his forehead, "By the way, ask me who I am. Sorry, I can't tell you my name. You have to ask. I can only tell you a fake name. What's the use of knowing it?"

"It's fine if it's fake, otherwise it won't be called." Takumi said. The man opened his mouth wide and laughed silently. "You don't need to call me, but since you're talking about this, let me tell you. My surname is Ishihara, and my first name is Yujiro." "Oh..." Takumi sighed. "." Shi Sheng next to him suddenly said this.The person who called himself Ishihara glared at him, then turned his gaze back to Takumi. "We're looking for someone, someone you know very well. As soon as the name Hayase Chizuru is mentioned, you know it right away? Oh, your face has changed."

Indeed, hearing this name, Tuoshi was shaken in his heart. "Why are you looking for her?" "Oh, the tone softened all of a sudden. After all, it's about worrying about my girlfriend. Not bad, not bad. Uh, there's no special reason, just asking her to return some things that are very important to us." "what?" "I can't answer this, but it's very important anyway. We went to her apartment just now, but there was only an empty shell left, and then we went to the place where she worked, called Violet, and that's when I found out about you."

"Since this is the case, you should have heard about it. I went to Violet to find Qianhe, and it won't help if you chase here." "Well, it's hard to say." "You think I'm lying?" "That's not true. I'm afraid you didn't pay attention to some things. Don't you often say that a bystander knows?" "Let me know if I missed something, I really have no idea right now." "Well, don't be so anxious." Ishihara took out the cigarette case from his suit pocket, which was navy blue.He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and lit it with a long tortoiseshell lighter.In Tuoshi's eyes, even the smoke that the man exhaled was quite advanced.

After smoking for a while, the man looked at his feet and found a Coke can. He stuffed the cigarette end in it, then reached into his suit pocket again, and this time took out a white envelope, bulging and thick.He threw the envelope in front of Takumi. "Two hundred thousand, let me give you this much first." "What's the meaning?" "Just treat it as information fees and activity funds. It seems that you have some problems with eating, so I want to help you. But if you find a girlfriend, you must notify us immediately. Don't worry, we will not hurt her, as long as she Just return the important thing."

"But where did Qianhe go, I really have no idea, and I can't find it even if I give money." "Well, I will give you the clues we found first. She is in Kansai, probably in Osaka." "Osaka?" "Look, I remembered something." "No. I was born in Osaka, so it sounds kind." "Haha, you are from Osaka? Isn't that good?" "I didn't grow up in Osaka, I was brought here when I was born, and I never went back." "Okay, okay, I don't care about your background. Anyway, for us, as long as you find a girlfriend. Do you think two hundred thousand is too little?"

Takumi's eyes fell from the man's face and stopped on the envelope. "Can you guarantee that you won't hurt Chizuru?" "Oh, you mean what I say doesn't count?" Shi Yuan stared slightly.There was a terrible light in the depths of his eyes.Takumi remained silent.Ishihara smiled and nodded again. "Forget it. Don't you also want to find a girlfriend as soon as possible? If you are worried about her, you should find her before others." Takumi remained silent, but Ishihara stood up. "Let's go," he said to his men. "Wait. Was that important thing stolen by Qianzu?" Takumi asked, looking at Ishihara's back.

While putting on his shoes, Shi Yuan said with a strange smile: "I don't know, then I have to ask her." "So--" Takumi still wanted to ask, but was stopped by the man with the mustache.Immediately afterwards, the young man also came over, grabbed Takumi's wrist, and stuffed something into his hand.Tuoshi spread his hand, it was a note with a string of numbers written on it, like a phone number. "We are waiting for your news, and we will check on the situation from time to time." After speaking, Shi Yuan left the room, followed by two subordinates. Tuoshi came to the entrance barefoot and locked the door.Only then did he remember that the door was locked when he left.How did Ishihara and the others get in?He felt more and more terrible. Shi Sheng was counting the money in the envelope in the middle of the kitchen. "What are you doing?" Tuoshi snatched it. "It's not bad, exactly two hundred thousand." "So what?" "Takushi, just do as they say." "How can I do that? Sell Qianhe just for this little money?" "The person surnamed Ishihara said that he would not hurt Qianhe, you can't believe that?" Toshi nodded.As Ishihara said, we must find Chizuru as soon as possible. "Who the hell are they?" he murmured. "You have no clue?" "Yeah, I haven't heard anything from Qianzuru." Tuoshi sat down on the spot, "What is the important thing? How could Qianzuru have it?" He recalled all the situations when he was with Qianhe, but he didn't remember any possible clues, and his desire to see her became stronger. "Return the money first." Shi Sheng said. "Yeah, I don't want to owe them money." Although Tuoshi said that, but looking at the envelope, his heart was very complicated.Without this funding, how can I find Qianhe? "Didn't you say something about Osaka? Didn't you remember anything?" "Ah, there is one thing." Chizuru once told about a friend who worked in a bar in Osaka.If Chizuru goes to Osaka, it is likely to go to that friend. "Anyway, we have to go to Osaka first." "Ok." Takumi looked at the envelope again.It takes money to go to Osaka, but with this little money, I can’t afford the Shinkansen or even the bus. "I said, how about borrowing it first?" Shi Sheng suggested. "I'll pay back after earning money? I found Qianhe's hiding place and didn't tell them? Are you kidding me? I'm sure they'll beat you to death." "No, let's take this money as the principal and use it to make money. In this way, won't we be able to pay them back soon? If we go to Qianhe again, we will have nothing to do with them." Tuoshi looked at Shisheng's face frequently, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like he was joking. "You mean to use this money to gamble?" "Well, so to speak." Takumi shook his head slowly and laughed. "I'm stupid, and you're about the same. No, it's even worse than me. What if you lose all your money when you do this kind of thing? You owe money to someone, and you have no funds. Do you still have the shame?" However, Shi Sheng also shook his head at him, showing serious eyes. "What day is today." "Today? Hmm..." Tuoshi glanced at the calendar posted on the wall, "Number 26." "Tomorrow is the twenty-seventh." "so what?" "The newspaper said that there seems to be a Japanese derby match tomorrow." "Horse racing," Tuo Shi fell back on his back and quickly waved his hands after recovering his sitting posture. "This is the gamble with the most draws. If you want to play, you can just play the billiards room. If the situation is not good, you can stop immediately and lose less. Besides, I lost a lot a while ago, so I guess my luck should change." Tuo Shi made a gesture of playing the marbles, but his hand was quickly pushed away by Shi Sheng. "What's the time to play such nonsense! That's a waste of time and money." "Then tell me, horse racing..." As soon as Tuoshi said this, Shisheng stood up, took a folded newspaper from the corner of the room, and spread it out in front of Tuoshi. "Know Haiseiko?" "Don't underestimate people. Although I don't play horse racing, Hesek still knows, isn't it the famous horse? There is also a song called "Goodbye, Hessick"." "Haiseiko's son will play tomorrow." Shi Sheng patted the newspaper, "Katsrano Haiseiko, bet on this one." "Bet, how much?" "Two hundred thousand all-in." Takumi was shocked. "You're crazy! Hisak is very powerful, but his son may not be so powerful. No one can say that he will definitely win." "I'm sure that Kazilla Haysek will win. But it's the most popular, so the odds are not high. If you want to make more money, you can only bet all your money." "How can you be sure? You run errands for the rigger?" "There is no match-fixing, this is a fact. I don't know much about horse racing, but I learned a little before, so I just know about it. A typical example of a son realizing a dream that a great father failed to realize..." Shi Sheng Scratching his head, "I said so, you must not understand." "I don't understand. Anyway, I don't do such stupid things. It's like throwing money into the ditch. It's better to play billiards." "That's throwing money down the gutter." "Horse racing? That's the one you're talking about." "Tuoshi, please." Shisheng suddenly sat upright, bowed his head deeply, "Tomorrow you can close your eyes and bet on the horses, trust me." "……What's wrong?" "I can't tell, but I really know. Tomorrow, Hesek's son will definitely win, and betting on it will definitely make money." "No matter what you say, there is still no basis." "If you lose, I will definitely repay you two hundred thousand no matter what I do, even if I take a fishing boat to catch tuna." "You wake up." Shi Sheng kept bowing his head and pleading. Toshi sighed. "Okay, how about this, just bet 50,000, how about it?" "Miyamoto Takumi!" Shisheng raised his head abruptly. Takumi was taken aback by him. "What's the matter? Don't be scary, okay?" "Please believe in the son. Only the son can realize the dream of the father." "Son, son, why...why do you speak for Hesek's son?" However, for some reason, Takumi couldn't continue.He saw an aggressive aura in Shi Sheng's eyes.Shisheng seemed to want to pass something in his body to Tuoshi, and Tuoshi was overwhelmed by it, especially the pronunciation of the word "son" made his heart tremble and he couldn't hold himself back. "How about a hundred thousand?" Tuo Shi said. "Is it possible to make a deal? I have made up my mind to fight to the death." Shi Sheng hung his head for a while, then nodded. "No way, I can't make you believe it, but I will never make you regret it." "It would be great if that's the case." Tuoshi looked at the envelope in his hand, and he had already begun to regret it. -------------------------------- Note:
