Chapter 38 Section 37

Tuo Shi returned to the old woman's house and saw that everyone was sitting in their original positions.Shi Sheng still sat with his knees hugged.Everyone looked up at Tuoshi, and then looked away. Takushi cleared his throat and said, "Uh, what should I say? I'm sorry for delaying everyone's time because of my personal affairs. Let's study how to get Qianzu back." He sat cross-legged beside Shisheng. "The words are good, but I don't know where she is." Zhumei muttered. "It looks like a row of warehouse-like buildings by the sea." "How can these alone be enough?" Zhumei brushed her long hair.

Tuoshi patted his knees and stood up, walking to the next door. Hiji is already awake.His hands and feet were tied, and he fell on the tatami, staring sharply at Takumi. "Can I contact you from time to time?" Hiji snorted coldly. "Tell me, where is your hiding place?" "I won't say it, didn't you just say it yourself?" "But if you spend so much time, you won't get Okabe." "You don't want to hand it over anyway." "I don't know where they are, and I can't hand them over even if I want to. Takakura doesn't want to hand over Okabe, but I'm different. I just want to exchange Chizuru back. How about it, let's make another deal."

Riji remained silent, with a hostile expression on his face, but he was undoubtedly making various balances in his heart. "Wouldn't it be clear after a little brainstorming? You won't be able to achieve your goal if you spend so much time, you might as well take a gamble, maybe you can get Okabe." "That person," Hiyoshi pointed at Takakura with his chin, "will he agree to your proposal?" "What he wants to do has nothing to do with me. The important thing is to get Chizuru back. Aren't you the same? Bringing Okabe back is the most important thing."

"what do you want?" "Need to say? That's it." Saying that, Takumi pulled Hiyoshi over to untie the rope from his hand. "Tuo Shi!" "Hey, what do you want to do?" "Otherwise what else?" Takumi looked at Shisheng and then at Zhumi, and untied the rope that bound Hiyoshi's feet. With his limbs free, Hiyoshi immediately stood up, leaning his back against the wall in a posture.As if echoing it, Jesse also stood up and assumed an offensive posture. "Takemi, you told Jesse not to make a move. I'll go back with this guy and take Okabe with me." Takumi looked back at Hiyoshi, "Is this the way to go? That's what I said at first."

Hiji licked his lips and nodded. "Okay, but you go alone, and the others don't follow." "Okay, all right." "Tuo Shi!" "Don't be so long-winded! What kind of extension, extension, is there any other way?" "You go to danger alone." "I know." Takumi turned to Hiyoshi, "I also have a condition, don't let them come up to you, and don't cover my eyes." Hiji thought for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Understood. Accept your terms." "This is a promise between men." Tuoshi stretched out his hand and pulled Okabe, "Let's go."

Hiji walked to the gate first.Takemi and Jesse reluctantly make way for them.Takumi followed Hiyoshi.He stopped when he met Gao Cang's eyes. "sorry." Gao Cang nodded with a bitter face: "Well, there is no way." "In exchange for Qianhe, I will do my best to assist you." Gao Cang scratched his head with a wry smile. The three put on their shoes and went outside.Hiyoshi grabbed Okabe's arm and left. Tuoshi was about to follow, when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind. "Wait." It was the old woman's voice.Tuo Shi stood still and looked back.The old lady handed me something. "This, you take it."

It's a purple amulet bag from Ishikiri Shrine. "what is this?" "Amulet, there is a note inside that can keep you safe." "I don't want this kind of thing." "Take it." The old lady stared at Tuoshi closely, "Take it." Tuoshi took the bag and opened it, and saw a folded note inside.He took it out and unfolded it, and there was a line of words scrawled on it with a ballpoint pen: If you find it, please call immediately: 06-752XXX Ezaki store. "Look," the old woman smiled, "does it work?" Takumi bit his lip, refolded the note and put it back in its original place. "Understood. I'll take it."

"Hi," Hiji greeted, "what are you dawdling about?" "Well, just come." Tuoshi turned to the old woman and said, "Grandma, take care." "Tuoshi," the old lady grabbed his hand, "be careful!" "understood." Zhumei and Shisheng came to the door and watched him worriedly.Tuoshi waved lightly at them and walked forward. On the main road, Hiji called a taxi.All three were sitting in the back seat, with Okabe caught in the middle. "Go to Tennoji." Hiji said to the driver.The elderly driver agreed in a low voice and started the car.

"Where is your hiding place?" Riji didn't answer, but looked straight ahead. "The mouth is still so strict." Takumi smacked his lips, "If I were in Tokyo, even if I was blindfolded and my ears were plugged, I would know where I was by feeling. But in Osaka, I wouldn't be able to tell where it is." He lightly prodded Okabe's flank. "It's all about you, you have to escape to Osaka." Okabe frowned and snorted. "It's by the sea," Takumi said, watching Hiyoshi's reaction. "It's probably near the biscuit factory, right?"

"Biscuit factory?" Riji frowned, "What do you mean?" "I just remembered, coming out of there this morning, it smelled of biscuits, freshly baked biscuits." After a while, Hiji smiled. "There is a mistake in the important place. It is because of this that this kind of man robs his woman." "What did you say?" "It's not biscuits, it's bread." "Oh?" "There is a bakery nearby that produces cheap sandwich bread. Let me tell you another clue, there is no sea nearby, and the direction is the opposite."

"Huh? It's bread. I don't like bread very much." The speed dropped. "Where to park?" the driver asked.They have come to the intersection of traffic and traffic. "It's here." Hiji took out money from his coat pocket. Tuoshi held the amulet bag in his left hand, trying to pass it to the driver when he saw the opportunity.The Ezaki store written on the note must be the place where Gao Cang and others are waiting.If the driver had called, they would have known where Takumi had gotten off, making it possible to find Ishihara's hiding place. "Hey, what are you doing? Get out of the car." After paying the fare, Hiyoshi pushed Okabe, and Takumi was almost pushed out by him. "Ah, wait, the foot is stuck." Tuoshi pretended to pull his foot under the seat, and took advantage of the situation to keep the bag under it.Please, driver man, you should find out sooner! After the taxi drove away, Hiji remained where he was, motionless. "Why don't you go? Go to your den." Hiyoshi smiled secretly at Takumi, looked into the distance and raised his hand.Another taxi pulled up beside him. "Get in the car." Hiji said. "What? Taking the car again?" Tuoshi stared wide-eyed. "Stop talking nonsense, get in the car quickly, or it will be too late." After the three got into the car, they were still tightly huddled together. Hiji quickly said where they were going, and all they heard was "Hanoi Matsubara". "Why don't you go directly in the car just now?" Tuoshi asked. "Just in case." Riji said. "what?" "Your partner may have seen the license plate of that car. I don't want them to look up whereabouts." "Huh? I'm still kind-hearted, but..." Tuoshi pretended to look out of the car calmly, his heart was extremely anxious, and his armpits were covered with cold sweat.Changed to a taxi, and the amulet bag was useless. The taxi seems to be driving on the main road, but it seems to be getting farther and farther away from the town.Even though he couldn't distinguish east from west, north from south, Takushi knew that he was in the suburbs. Something is wrong.Without any clues, foreign aid cannot be counted on.He made up his mind that he had to give it a go on his own. At a bend in the main road, Hiji asked the driver to stop.There was a factory-like building nearby, and there was a faint smell of biscuits, no, bread. "Go, it's right ahead!" Riji urged. "Your boss is still waiting?" Tuo Shi said, "After the regular contact is cut off, will he feel bad and leave you and run away?" "If you underestimate him, there will be no good fruit to eat." "Really?" The road gets darker the further you go.There are no street lights, and a concrete fence runs along the road.When he reached the end of the wall, Hiyoshi turned in, followed by Takumi and Okabe.The scene in front of him is still fresh in his memory. "It's here." Takumi said, "That's right. It's on the second floor of that warehouse." "Do you think it's kind?" Hiji walked forward, seeing that Tuoshi didn't follow, he turned around and said, "Why? Why don't you come here soon?" "We'll wait here and bring Qianhe back." "Hey..." Hiyoshi looked at Takumi's face for a while, then nodded slowly, "We are not reliable, are we?" "Is it possible for me to trust you?" "That's true." Riji smiled strangely, "You have the guts, well, let me tell you." "what?" "Our boss doesn't want to return that girl to you." "Maybe." "That girl and this kid stay together all the time, and it's better for her to think she knows all about those scandals. Then, what's the point of arresting this kid but letting that girl go?" "Chizuru doesn't know anything, really." Okabe said.Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse. "Go talk to the boss." Hiji said coldly, then looked at Takushi and said, "If you want to get that girl back, it depends on your ability. I don't hate you, but I won't help you either." "Understood. Bring Qianhe quickly." Riji curled his lips, shook his coat, and walked away.After a while, the sound of footsteps on the gravel disappeared. "He's right." Okabe said, "They didn't want to return Chizuru. Is there any good way? They are not just one or two people." "You don't have to worry about it, I know it all." With that said, Takumi untied the rope that bound Okabe's hands, "Can you trust your own legs?" "leg?" "Ask you if you run fast." "You suddenly asked this... Well, it's normal." "Then you should be mentally prepared, and you will be asked to run away later." "what?" "Run as soon as I give you the signal later, run as hard as you can. If you don't want to be caught by them, just do what I say." "Not exchanging Chizuru?" "I would like to exchange, but they don't seem to have that meaning." Several figures emerged from the house.Takumi opened up his posture.It was Ishihara, Hiyoshi, and three subordinates, but there was no Chizuru. "Ah, Miyamoto-san, a lot of things have happened, and Hiyoshi has heard about them." Ishihara said with great interest, "Mr. Okabe, we finally met. Everyone is looking for you." "It seems that my words have not been conveyed. I said that I would bring Qianhe over." "Well, don't worry. Hey, take Mr. Okabe up first." Ishihara ordered. Two people came in response.Takumi whispered in Okabe's ear, "It's now." "what?" "Run!" Okabe yelled and ran towards the main road. "Hey, boy, don't run!" "Stop!" Shi Yuan's subordinates also yelled and chased after him. Ishihara and Hiyoshi were at a loss for a while.The opportunity is only now!Takumi ran towards the building.When Hiyoshi noticed it, he immediately stopped in front. Takushi slammed into him with all his strength, and his body lost his balance, but he immediately stood up again, not knowing how Hiyoshi was hit. Takushi ran into the building and ran up a staircase in front of him.There were already footsteps coming from behind.There were cardboard boxes and carts on the stairs, and Takumi pushed them down.Amidst the sound of metal crashing, there were several screams, followed by the muffled sound of something falling to the ground. The door of the office on the second floor opened, and the eyebrowless man came out. "Boy, what are you doing?" He yelled and punched. Tuoshi dodged it, and swung a straight right fist, which hit the opponent's nose directly, with a feeling of bursting.No eyebrows yelled, covering his face with his hands and squatting down.Blood dripped from his face. Takumi rushed into the office and saw Qianzuru standing there with a look of despair.He closed the door and locked it again. "Brother Tuoshi..." "Open the window!" Chizuru opened the window beside her.Takumi looked down from the window.It's next to what looks like a used car center, and the roof of the warehouse is just below. "Qianhe, jump down quickly." He called. Qianhe was taken aback, but left the window instead, with a frightened look on his face. "Bastard! What are you afraid of? Is this the time to be afraid?" "But, look at such a place." Qianzuru shook her head like a drum. There was a sound outside the door, as if someone was picking something that Shi Shi had thrown from the stairs.Someone was scolding angrily: "What are you doing here, kid!" The scolded person probably had no eyebrows. "hurry up!" Takumi grabbed Qianzuru's hand and finally dragged her to the window frame.Chizuru was still shaking his head. "No, absolutely not!" Hearing the sound of the door lock being unlocked, Takumi pushed Chizuru on the back.She screamed and fell, rolling over the warehouse roof.Seeing this, Takumi also jumped onto the window frame, and almost at the same time, the door opened and Hiyoshi broke in. "Not good!" Tuoshi jumped down and rolled forward continuously on the roof of the warehouse. "Ah, Takumi-san, are you alright?" "Hurry up! I'm chasing you, run!" He quickly stood up and grabbed Qianhe's hand. "Where are you running from?" "Jump from here." "Huh? Still want to dance?" There was a "dong" sound from behind, and it was Riji who jumped down.He bared his teeth and seemed to sprain his ankle. "quick!" Running to the edge of the roof, Takumi grabbed Chizuru's hand and jumped down. There happened to be a Toyota Corolla underneath.The two landed on the engine cover, making a loud noise, and the front cover suddenly sank. "Run!" Takumi pulled Chizuru and ran away, but due to the exhaustion brought about by the escape and the impact of imprisonment, Chizuru's body seemed extremely heavy, and the shoes she wore were not suitable for running. The two navigated through rows of used cars.They could feel that the pursuers were approaching, Takumi kept running forward, and when Chizuru fell down, he pulled her up with all his might. The main road was already in sight, but they had to slow down.Because there is a barbed wire fence between it and the main road. "Bastard!" Tuoshi looked for the exit of the barbed wire fence, but the exit was closed and locked. The two stood in front of the barbed wire, and the sound of footsteps on the gravel came from behind.Tuoshi turned his head and saw that Ishihara and his men were walking over in a leisurely manner. "Mr. Miyamoto, I admire your courage and integrity again. The young people here really should learn from you. This is the truth, not a compliment." Ishihara said and took a step forward. "Stop saying nice things, why don't you let us go?" Tuoshi said out of breath. Shi Yuan smiled wryly and said, "If I have such authority, it's not that I can't consider it. Unfortunately, I'm not authorized. That's all right, man, if you think about it, leave that lady to us." "Didn't Okabe hand it over to you? It was agreed to return Chizuru to me." Ishihara frowned impatiently. "What's the point of saying such childish things now? Didn't you just realize that it doesn't make sense, so you acted like this? Since you've done a good job so far, let's be good to the end." "Okay." Tuoshi hid Qianhe behind his back, "Then let me accompany you to the end. If you want to get Qianhe, you have to pass my level first." "Look," Shi Yuan scratched his head and put on a helpless posture, "I don't want to waste time on such boring things, but there is nothing you can do if you don't agree. Who is going to play tricks with him?" Ishihara stepped back, Hiyoshi stepped forward.He stared at Takumi, took off his shirt, and twisted his neck left and right. "still you." "Just now I was lenient, this time I have to play for real." Hiyoshi lowered his waist and lowered his left arm in a stance. Tuoshi also put on an offensive posture, but he secretly thought: It's too bad, only Jesse is his opponent.But how could he hand over Qianhe without giving it a go?Until you get knocked down, no, you won't let go even if you get knocked down.He made up his mind. Hiji approached with his feet dragging the ground, and he seemed quite confident.Tuo Shi strictly defended. At this moment, loud music sounded from nowhere, and the volume seemed very uncoordinated in the middle of the night.Takumi's concentration was disturbed.Hiyoshi also showed surprise, and took a few steps back, as if he wanted to wait for the peace to return before fighting Takumi. However, instead of going away, the music is getting closer and closer.Tuoshi heard it was hard rock, mixed with the roar of motorcycles. After a while, dozens of motorcycles appeared on the road, and they were a group of gangsters at a glance. In the middle of them was a fancy van with a big speaker on the roof, and the rock music came from there. The group stopped behind Takumi and the others.Tuoshi knew who they were when he saw "BOMBA" painted on the body of the van. The music stopped, and the sound of motorcycle engines also stopped. The door of the van opened, and Takemi stepped out.She is wearing a black black leather jacket and is holding a chain.She stepped forward, and the chains rattled. "I kept you waiting." She winked at Takumi. "Who are these guys?" "Help me. It's urgent, and I can only call so many. They are all my former playmates." Takumi looked around.All of these people were unusual in appearance. "I was taken aback." Takakura and Shisheng also got off the van.Gao Cang nodded to Takumi, then looked at He Shiyuan and said, "Let's end it here, everyone doesn't want to make things big." "Bring these little kids to scare me?" Ishihara said with a strange smile. "No. I have contacted the country with your employer, and the matter has been negotiated. I will hand over the Okabe to you. These two young people, don't make things difficult for you." "I haven't heard of that." "Just decided, you can listen to this if you don't believe me, this is a telephone recording. Tuoshi-kun, continue." Gao Cang took out a small tape recorder and passed the barbed wire. Takushi reached out to catch it, and handed it to Hiyoshi, who in turn handed it to Ishihara.Ishihara pressed the button and placed the speaker against his ear. "Is it your employer's voice, can you hear it?" Gao Cang said. Ishihara turned off the tape recorder, tilted his face, and pouted his lower lip. "Where's Okabe?" he asked his subordinates. "Caught it." "Oh." Ishihara touched his chin, and slowly approached Takumi.He wrinkled his nose and let out a breath. "It's a draw, how about it?" "If you say so, let it be." Ishihara squeezed his fist and touched Tuoshi's chest lightly, then turned and left, and his subordinates followed.The last one to leave was Hiyoshi, who silently pointed to Takumi's face and left too. Tuoshi leaned against the barbed wire and slid down, only feeling tired like a tidal wave. "Tuoshi!" Shisheng shouted through the barbed wire. "Oh, you really found it here." "Grandma's amulet helped a lot, I must thank her when I go back." "Amulet? Isn't it useless if you change to a taxi?" "The driver who called told me," Zhumei said, "I heard that it was going to be near the bakery or something. When Shisheng heard it, he said it must be here." "Shisheng?" Tuoshi turned his head and looked behind, "Do you know this place?" "It's a place to keep memories." Shi Sheng said, "The park next to the bakery... I've been here once." "Park? Where's the park?" Shi Sheng smiled and said, "Not now, but in ten years." "What are you talking about? It's inexplicable. I'm just being blind. There are not bakeries everywhere." Tuoshi wanted to stand up, but a burst of pain hit him, and his face was distorted. He just found out he sprained his foot.
