Chapter 24 Section 23

When I got off the train at Heqiao Station, I smelled a smell of barbecue.Referring to the map on the small advertisement, they walked along the narrow road in front of the station.Bailong BBQ is located in a densely populated area. "BAMBI called and said that there are two weird Tokyo people coming over, let me say hello." Zhefu was tall and tall, and his permed hair was messy, maybe it would be more appropriate to comb it back.He was wearing a white blouse and clogs on his feet. There is not a single customer in the shop with only one big counter.Tetsuo seemed to be the only clerk there.

Takumi shows a photo borrowed from Takemi. "Qianhe came here the night before yesterday." Zhefu said without hesitation. "With someone else?" Shi Sheng asked. "With a man." "how is it like?" "Around thirty years old. Or a little older, looking poor and trembling." "Where is she now? Did you mention where she is going?" "I didn't talk much. I was very busy at the time. Although she is a friend of BAMBI, I only met her once before. Do you want to eat barbecue? I will give you a discount." The latter sentence was said to Shisheng.Shi Sheng refused.

"Do you want to introduce a pawnshop?" Tuo Shi asked. "Pawnshop? Why, Qianhe has no money?" "not sure." "Uh……" Just when they were discouraged, Zeff said again: "But... I saw the wallet." "what?" "When paying the bill, the man opened his wallet. I glanced at it. There were a lot of ten thousand yuan bills. With so much money, I usually wouldn't go to a pawn shop." "That's natural." Tuoshi said to himself. "Maybe," Zhefu patted his thigh, "I came here after going to the pawn shop. Maybe I got some money from the pawn, so I came to eat some barbecue to gain strength. However, barbecue is usually eaten when there is no money."

"Ou Possibly." Shi Sheng looked at Tuo Shi and said, "If you come here at night, you won't be able to go to the pawn shop anymore." "Too." "Is there a pawn shop nearby?" Shisheng asked Zhefu. "Yes, there are plenty in the pawn shop." He said, he turned and walked inside, and when he came back, he spread out a map in his hand, which looked like a map of the community. "The pawn shop in this area is 'Arakawa House'. Well, there are really not many." "Not necessarily nearby." "No, I guess Qianzuru and that man are not familiar with Osaka, so they asked Zhumei where there is a pawn shop. But Zhumei didn't introduce it, so they had to find one by the way. At this time, compared to a completely unfamiliar place, they will usually be in Look for places you know a little bit about.”

"yes?" "Go and talk first." Shi Sheng thanked Zhe Fu, and asked if he could borrow the map. "Okay, take it." "Thank you, thank you." Shi Sheng bowed his head and carefully folded the map.Suddenly, he stopped moving. "Oh, this is the wild area." "Yes what's the matter?" "Do you know the place Takae? Takae, Ikuno District." "Gao Jiang? I seem to have heard of it, but I don't seem to have it." Zhefu said to wait a moment, and went to the back room again. "Hey, is this the time to inquire about this?"

"By the way. Didn't I accompany you to find Qianhe?" Zeff came back with a traffic map spread out in his hand and an atlas under his arm. "It seems that there is no such place name." "Look, it's still a fiction, and it's useless to look for it." "Don't worry, you are still impatient." Zeff opened the atlas.The map is quite old, and the edges of the paper are discoloured and curled. "Yes, Takae Ikuno." "Ah, really!" Shi Sheng's face suddenly lit up. "The name of the place was changed many years ago, and it was changed at that time."

"No wonder I couldn't find it." Shi Sheng showed a very embarrassed expression, and said to Zhefu, "Uh... I'm very sorry, this map..." "Understood, understood, take it away, it's useless to keep such an old map. But, next time you come, eat a little bit." "Thank you very much." Shi Sheng lowered his head deeply. After leaving the barbecue shop, the two went straight to Arakawa House, passing by a cigarette shop, where a man made a pay phone call.After passing by that person, Shi Sheng twisted his neck and said, "Strange..."

"how?" "I seem to have seen the person who called at the cigarette shop just now." "Cigarette shop?" Tuoshi looked back, but there was no one there, "I'm afraid you are overthinking. How can there be someone you know here?" "Well, that's why it's weird." Shi Sheng's face was gloomy for a long time Arakawaya is a small store with glass display cases sandwiching the entrance, holding gems, precious metals, clocks, brand-new home appliances, as well as musical instruments and general merchandise. The two pushed open the door.There is a counter on the front, and there is an old man with white hair who is doing abacus.When the two came to the counter, the old man just raised his head and looked about sixty years away.

"As a thing?" he asked in a low voice.
