Chapter 27 Section 26

There are more than a dozen large plates covered with seasonings at a time.Sweat was pouring out of his face, and he could only wipe it off with his arms.I kept washing desperately, but it was still too late, and the dirty dishes in the sink piled up like a mountain. "Can you be more agile? Next is the peak, so it's shameful to be exhausted." Zhefu said from the side.He tied a towel around his head. "Aren't you washing desperately?" "Just wash desperately, and children can do it too. Time is precious, and hands and feet need to be quick. You have to wash carefully. Most of my customers are tasteful and clean."

Takushi wanted to say, would customers with taste and love for cleanliness come to your dirty store?But I held back, and moved the hand holding the sponge quickly——I couldn't offend Zeff. The mistake was that when the pawnshop owner asked for the contact address, he should have handed over Bailong's advertisement for a long time without thinking.In this way, Tuoshi and Shisheng couldn't leave Bailong.Takumi told Zhefu that he would wait in the shop for a call from the pawnshop, but was rejected. "The phone is an important business tool in my store. How can I lend it to a nonsense person like you? I'm not a customer, and staying in the store all the time will affect the business."

What Zeff said made sense.So Takumi said that while he was waiting for the call in the store, he could help him wash the dishes.Zeff considered for a while and agreed. After discussing with Shisheng, Tuoshi decided to take turns washing the dishes.Shi Sheng was in charge during the day today, and he won the boxing game, so he asked to wash first.He picked it right.Few people come to eat barbecue during the day.Since Tuoshi started washing, the number of customers has increased. Peeking at the clock on the wall, it was fifteen minutes to six o'clock.Just wash until six, and then there's no point in waiting for a call, because Arakawaya closes at six.

Last night they stayed at the business hotel in Shangliu introduced by Zhefu.It is said to be a hotel, but it is actually just a cheap hotel with walls between the rooms and locked doors. There are no beds, and the bedding smells musty, and you have to make it yourself.Needless to say, bathrooms and toilets are shared.In this way, it is quite funny to say "check in" (check in) and "check out" (check out).This may be the chicness unique to Osaka people. Before going to bed, Shi Sheng talked about the manga artist named Yumezuka Yumezuka again, but he didn't say much.

"In short, this manga artist is full of mysteries. He only knows that he was born in Osaka, but his real name is unknown. It is said that if you go to the publishing house in Tokyo to investigate, you may be able to understand something." "Not interested." Tuo Shi lay on the quilt and said coldly.He didn't want to investigate this kind of thing. "I'll go to that place called Gaojiang tomorrow." Shi Sheng said. "Probably gone." "Just changing the name, the place won't disappear. Maybe we can find something." "It's up to you." Tuoshi covered the quilt and turned his back to Shisheng.

Today, Shisheng really went out after washing the dishes, and he didn't know what he was doing in Gaojiang.The manga has already been sold, so there should be no clues. At six o'clock sharp, Zeff came. "Oh, that was hard." "Is there a call from the pawnshop?" Tuo Shi wiped his hands and put down the rolled up shirt sleeves. "No. In this way, you can wash dishes for free tomorrow." Zhefu said with a sly smile. "Tomorrow we will change the contact location, let's go to the coffee shop and wait." "Not good, not good. The coffee shop here doesn't condone customers who sit for a long time. It's better to wash the dishes and wait for the phone here. Can't you still eat barbecue?"

"It's disgusting." Tuoshi sniffed the smell on his clothes. "If you eat too much barbecue, you will become addicted. I said, there are guests coming." "Looking for me?" "Well, just go and have a look." Zhefu pointed to the store with his thumb. When Tuoshi came to the store, it was already half full of customers.Takemi and Jesse were sitting side by side in the corner.Seeing Takumi, Takemi waved her hand excitedly. "Why are you here?" Seeing that they were empty, Tuoshi sat down. "Can't tell? The meal before work."

"Just take this smell to work?" "You have to care about such things, how can you live in Osaka?" Zhumei puffed out her cigarette, and she seemed to have finished eating.Jesse is still roasting pork belly. Tuoshi understood that there were only so many dishes to wash just because she came.He was a little irritable. "I heard from Zhefu that there is a clue about Qianhe." "Well, so to speak." "Thank you for thinking it out, using this place as a contact point, you guys are obliged to wash the dishes, it's really a reasonable suggestion, I admire it."

"mock me?" Takemi shook her head. "I'm serious. You, who are only interested in any job for five minutes, are really working hard for Qianhe." Jesse gave a thumbs up, showing her white teeth.Takumi turned his head to the side. "You don't know me, why do you say that?" At this time, the phone on the counter rang, and Zeff picked up the receiver.Takumi and Takemi looked at each other. "Please wait a moment." Zeff looked at Takumi and nodded wordlessly. Tuoshi hurried over to take it, and said in a low voice, "It's me." "Little brother, I'm Arakawaya. The girl is here." The voice was so low that it was barely audible, as if she didn't want Qianhe to hear it.

"When did you come?" "Just now, it seems that I came here specially before closing." "With a man?" "I don't know, I entered the shop alone." "You hold her back." "That's not okay. If you want to catch her, come here quickly, I'm dead." "etc--" The phone was hung up. When Tuoshi put down the phone, Zhumei and Jesse both stood up, as if they wanted to ask what happened.There was no time to talk, Tuoshi rushed out of the barbecue restaurant. As soon as he ran to the road, he bumped into a person.The opponent also walked in a hurry, almost knocking Tuoshi over.Tuoshi stood up straight, only to see Shisheng fell to the ground.

"Ah, Takumi, great. I found it!" "Qianhe?" "No, it's the house." "House? It's inexplicable!" Tuo Shi ran up. After passing through several intersections, he didn't even look at the traffic lights.Finally, I saw the signboard of Arakawa House.He was suddenly discouraged and ran away without strength. Just then, a girl stepped out of the pawnshop, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, jeans, and sunglasses.It must be Chizuru!She didn't seem to notice Takumi, and walked in the opposite direction. Takushi wanted to call her to stop, but on second thought, he gave up, worried that Qianhe would run away when he heard the shout.He trotted after them. A black car is coming.Chizuru moved to the side of the road to give way to the car.She seemed to be looking back, Takumi hurriedly lowered her head.He suddenly heard a short exclamation coming from the front, he hurriedly looked and saw two men in black suits stuffing Qianhe into the car. "What are you doing?" Tuoshi rushed forward again.But he ran all the way just now, and now he is unable to do what he wants. Chizuru was stuffed into the back of the car, and the car sped into action, narrowly missing Takumi.When he dodged to avoid the car, he met Qianzuru's eyes.She was wearing sunglasses, and it was unknown whether her eyes met his, but her face was undoubtedly turned to Takumi.She seemed taken aback. As the car was about to drive onto the avenue, Shisheng and Jesse on a bicycle appeared, and Zhumei was sitting behind Jesse. "Stop that car!" Takumi yelled. Jesse tried to stop in front of the car.But the car knocked off the front wheel of the bicycle, the tires screeching against the ground, and then drove onto the avenue. Tuoshi looked at the license plate, but there was something stuck on it, and the plate number could not be seen at all. When Tuoshi ran onto the main road, the car had disappeared.Jesse and Takemi, who were knocked to the ground, were slapping their clothes, and Takemi's elbow was bleeding. "Tuo Shi, who is that?" Shi Sheng asked. "Who knows? Qianhe was captured by them as soon as he came out of the pawnshop. It seems that they are also hiding here to monitor the pawnshop." "This is too bad, I have to get her back quickly!" "What do you say? But how can we find them?" Tuoshi scratched his head.After finally finding Qianhe, the situation worsened, making people restless and unable to calm down.What to do next? Jesse waved his thick arms and yelled something in English. "What did he say?" Takumi asked Takemi. "He got angry and said: 'To get revenge, hurt my beloved BAMBI, I can't spare them.' It's okay, Jesse, Don't Worry." Jesse looked at his girlfriend's wound with sad eyes, and then yelled something. "The one who drove the car just now was the man from yesterday." Shi Sheng said suddenly. "Who?" "On the way to Arakawa House, didn't I say that I saw a person calling a public phone? It was him." "See clearly?" "It's not wrong. I've seen it somewhere before. Where is it?" Shi Sheng bit his lower lip. "I'm afraid they are the ones you mentioned. Somebody with the surname Ishihara is looking for Qianhe." "Probably. How did they find this place?" Tuoshi crossed his arms. Shi Sheng suddenly punched his left palm with his right fist and said, "I remembered. In the elevator." "elevator?" "Did you take the elevator from time to time when you went to BOMBA? We just entered, and someone squeezed in, and it was him." "That's what happened." Tuoshi also had some vague impressions, the man seemed to be very thin, and he couldn't remember his appearance. "So they went there too. Why do they keep showing up wherever we go?" Shi Sheng shook his head in bewilderment.At this time, Takemi started. "It's not a coincidence, so there is only one possibility." She pointed at Takumi and Shisheng in turn, "You are being targeted, probably as soon as you leave Tokyo." "Us? No way?" "No, it's possible." Shi Sheng said, "So he squeezed into the elevator in a hurry, and he couldn't know which bar we entered just by monitoring outside the building." "So what? They've been watching us since then? They've been watching us while we're killing time in the coffee shop and waiting outside the BOMBA?" "I'm afraid it's more than that. When we follow Zhumei and the others, I'm afraid they are also behind us." "There's no such thing..." Tuoshi swallowed the words halfway through.He remembered what the taxi driver said—"That car followed me all the way. Isn't it like you, following that girl?" "Is that a Crown?" Takemi asked. "Well, like." That's right!What the taxi driver said was exactly right.They followed Tuoshi and Tuoshi. I am afraid that Zhumei's apartment was also monitored by them that night, and Tuoshi and Shisheng were also followed when they went to Bailong. "But if this is the case, why are they here? To monitor us, they should stay near Bailong. Why are they ambushing here at the pawnshop?" Tuoshi muttered. "I know Chizuru will show up at the pawnshop, so there's no need to spy on us." "How do you know? The old man at the pawnshop said it?" Shi Sheng shook his head. "As long as you monitored our actions yesterday, you will know. You pretended to read in the bookstore and stared at the pawnshop for hours. Everyone guessed that Qianzuru would come." It was very conspicuous—Takumi remembered what Shisheng scolded him yesterday.At that time, he was only staring at the pawn shop, and he never thought that someone was watching him. He clenched his right fist, desperately wanting to hit someone, but there was no one here to hit.He could only stare at his own figure on the tarmac.
