Chapter 21 Section 20

They hung out in the coffee shop until two in the morning, then returned to the building where BOMBA was.At this time, the soliciting person was gone, but another kind of suspicious person began to wander around.If you make eye contact with them, you don't know what trouble you will get into, so Tuoshi lowered his head as much as possible, and he also warned Shisheng in the same way. It was nearly three o'clock in the morning when Sakamoto Kiyomi and the woman with ponytails came out of the building.Takushi, who was smoking in the shadow of the building, threw away the cigarette butts and stamped them out as soon as he saw them coming out.Shi Sheng cast reproachful glances at him, but he ignored them and walked away.

The two women walked side by side, with Takumi following behind.The path is very narrow, but there are still many drunk guests at this time, and it is not too difficult to keep track of them.The two of them had no intention of looking back at all. On the main road, they hailed a taxi.Toshi ran up.The taxi was about to start, and he raised his hand to stop one. "Follow the car in front." Tuoshi ordered the driver. "You don't know where you're going." The middle-aged driver said.Seeing that this errand was a little troublesome, his tone was also very uninteresting.

"I asked you to follow me because I didn't know. Don't be so wordy! Just do as I tell you." Tuoshi looked at the driver's face from behind and saw that his facial muscles were very loose.The driver didn't speak anymore, but maybe it was a psychological effect, he seemed to be driving very rough. "I'm sorry, there is a reason for this." Shi Sheng said. Is it necessary to apologize?Takumi looked at him with pretended eyes. "It should be like this. Are you still following the women in the southern district at this time?" He seemed to see the two women getting into the taxi ahead. "But you are not like the police, and you are not even from Osaka. I guess there must be some special circumstances, so I will honestly listen to you."

"I'm sorry, thank you very much." Shi Sheng bowed his head and saluted, but the driver couldn't see it.Shisheng turned his gaze to Tuoshi again, as if to say, "You also apologize a little bit", but Tuoshi naturally turned a blind eye. There was a big intersection ahead, and when I drove a little further, the taxi ahead passed by, and the brake lights came on. "Have you reached the finish line before running too much?" The driver was a little disappointed. "Where is this place?" Shi Sheng asked. "Like Gu Jiu." "Gu Jiu?"

"Tanimachi 9-chome. Uh, no—" the driver shook his head, "This is Kami-roku, the full name is Uehonmachi 6-chome." Tuo Shi didn't know anything about these place names, and he didn't know what was going on, but he nodded as if he understood. Their car stopped some distance from the car in front.Takumi took out his wallet.The fare seems to be cheaper than expected.However, only the short hair got out of the taxi in front, and the rear door was closed. "Shisheng, get out of the car," Tuoshi said, "you know what to do, right? "I know, isn't it the crab's signature front horse-Mr. Driver, there is only one next here."

The door opened and Shi Sheng got out of the car alone. "Hey, quickly close the door and start driving. The car in front is about to run away." Tuoshi yelled at the driver. " "Stalking? I really made a troublesome customer today." The driver reluctantly engaged the clutch and started slowly, as if on purpose. "Stop talking nonsense! Keep an eye on the end, consumption will not treat you badly." The driver shrugged vaguely. After going straight for a while, the car in front turned left.The driver of Tuoshi's car also has a large turn signal.The signal light has turned yellow, but the car speeds up and rushes into the intersection.The tires slipped slightly, but he still made a successful left turn.

"Really!" Tuo Shi whispered. "Are you from Tokyo?" the driver asked. "Ok." "There are plenty of good women in Tokyo, why bother to chase after women from the Southern District?" "A good woman from Tokyo came here." "Oh, the girl in the car in front is from Tokyo?" "She's local, but she might know where the man I'm looking for is." "Oh." Takumi felt the driver smile with ulterior motives. "What? What's so funny?" "Uh, it's nothing, little brother, men who pester endlessly are not popular with women."

"Whispering! Shut up and drive your car." After a while, the car in front slowed down and turned into an alley.The driver of Tuoshi's car also followed carefully.As soon as I turned the corner, I saw the car parked there. "Stop." Takumi said. The driver drove straight past the car. "Didn't you hear me? Tell you to stop!" "Stopping so close, no matter how stupid people are, they will find it strange." The driver drove until the next corner before stopping, "Okay, it's safe to stop here." Tuoshi took out a 10,000 yuan note from his wallet and put it on the passenger seat.When he looked back, Mawei had already got out of the car and walked into a nearby apartment.

"Wait, there's too much money." "Didn't I say that tipping won't treat you badly?" "Who wants a tip?" "Is it annoying? Can you take back what Edoer took out?" "What kind of show are you playing with a driver? I'll charge you five thousand." The driver handed over a five thousand yuan note. "don't want." "Take it. Let me say," the driver leaned closer to his face through the backrest, and said in a low voice, "Isn't there a small black car parked behind? Probably a Crown." Tuoshi looked behind, and there was indeed a car parked beside the road.

"That car followed that girl all the way. Couldn't it be following that girl like you?" "how come……" "Maybe I'm overthinking. Anyway, be careful." After Tuoshi got out of the car, the taxi drove away immediately.Tuoshi ran back the same way, watching the suspicious car while running.As if trying to avoid his sight, the car moved silently.When passing by, Tuoshi looked at the driver's seat, but the glass was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Tuoshi ran into the apartment building and saw the administrator's room on the left, with curtains on the windows, a row of mailboxes on the right, and an elevator in front of it, which was stopping on the first floor.

There were footsteps coming from the mailbox.Tuo Shi hurriedly hid behind the stairs.A woman with a ponytail came over.She didn't walk towards the elevator, but walked towards Takumi.He tensed his body and remained motionless, thinking that he couldn't hide, so he had to go out. However, she went upstairs.Tuoshi listened to her footsteps and followed her. Her room appears to be on the second floor.Up the stairs, she walked into the corridor, then stopped, and took the keys from her handbag.Seeing this scene, Tuo Shi immediately ran over.Ponytail seemed to have noticed something, and raised his face. "Ah, you are—" Her red-painted mouth opened wide. Takumi didn't answer, but first looked at the nameplate on the door - "Sakata".The thing to confirm is the name.He discussed it with Shi Sheng, but it might not be clear just by looking at the brand name.The two have also agreed on how to respond in such a situation. Ponytail was still dumbfounded.Takumi snatched the letter from her hand. "What are you doing? Give it back to me!" Ponytail immediately grabbed Takumi's arm.Takumi looked at the recipient's name while shaking off her hand.But for some reason, the names of the recipients of several letters are written in English. "Bastard, don't you want to pay it back?" Ponytail grabbed Takumi's jacket sleeve. Finally, I saw a letter with "Sakata" written on it.But at this moment, under the pull of the ponytail, this important letter fell to the ground. "Ah, shit!" He hurried to pick it up.But then, he was hit hard on the nose.When he fell on his back, he realized that the toe of the high-heeled shoe appeared in front of him just now. "Is it necessary to kick someone so desperately?" He covered his nose with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to grab the other person's neckline, but his hand was twisted immediately. "Ah, it hurts!" Tuoshi turned around and knelt down on the ground. "Who do you think I am? Don't underestimate people." "I don't know who you are, that's why I want to read the letter." "You're always inquiring about nonsense in the bar. Talk! What do you want?" "We're just looking for a girl named Bamboo." "Didn't I tell you that this person quit long ago?" "We know it's a lie. One of you is Bamboo and somehow you're hiding it. BOMBA isn't taken from TOKYO BOMBERS either, it's taken from BAMBOO in English, right?" The girl immediately eased the strength on her hands. "Is this what you came up with?" She asked softly. "It's that guy." "Well, I guess so." What's the meaning?Just as he was about to ask, his eyes suddenly fell on a letter on the ground.The upper part of the recipient is covered, only the word "beauty" at the end can be seen. "You... aren't bamboo?" Tuoshi let out a cold snort above his head. "I'm not a bamboo." "Really? The guy I was with said you might be, so I presupposed that. Sorry." "That's the end of apologizing? You're an adult, so you won't be more serious?" Tuo Shi was furious, but the current situation did not allow him to refute.He adjusted his breathing and whispered, "I'm sorry." "Accordingly, I shouldn't forgive you like this." Mawei let go of his hand. Tuoshi moved his arms a few times, while Mawei was picking letters aside. "You are not bamboo, then you are another one." Ponytail shook his head. "She's Kiyomi. Sakamoto is a fake surname, but her real name is Sakata Kiyomi. It's not bamboo." "The store's name comes from bamboo, right?" "This," she put her hands on her hips, looking straight at Takumi, "you guessed it, it's amazing. So far no one has figured out the origin of the store's name." "But--" Tuoshi opened his mouth to ask, but Mawei held up an envelope in front of his eyes.Looking at the recipient, he couldn't help being dumbfounded. "Bamboo's bamboo plus beautiful beauty, the beauty of bamboo, is not bamboo at all." -------------------------------- Note:
