It was after two o'clock in the afternoon when Michiko Kanno walked out of the building. Oribe, who was monitoring the building opposite, murmured, "It's so strange." "What's wrong?" Mano asked. Mano came here because he was investigating other cases, so he stopped by to have a look.Now there is only one person in charge of monitoring in this building, and it happened to be Oribe's turn today.Kanno Kaiji's expectation of appearing at his mother's place has almost come to nothing. "It's rare for her to go out so early, and she's going in the opposite direction of her usual way out, not towards the station."

Mano looked down from the window, "Come and see." "Of order." Oribe walked towards the door. As soon as he walked outside the house, there was no sign of Kanno Michiko.Halfway through his run, his phone rang.It was Mano calling. "Turn left at the next intersection and don't get caught." "understood." After he turned as Mano said, he immediately saw the back of Kanno Michiko.She was wearing a white shirt and yellow skirt, and was holding a black umbrella. Oribe targeted the parasol and followed her.She didn't seem to notice that she was being followed, and she didn't look back at all.

Soon, she stopped and began to close the umbrella.That was before the credit union.Oribe saw Kanno Michiko walking in. "As soon as I walked into the bank, it was Xinxie Credit Union. She was waiting in line to use the ATM." "Is it a bank? In other words, it is to deal with the affairs of the store. Then, you can wait a little longer--" After a while, Mano said again, "It's strange, the store run by Kanno should not have transactions with the Shinkyo Credit Cooperative , and did not set up an account for drinking money." Michiko Kanno could be seen standing in front of the ATM.She has her purse in front and is operating the machine.

"She's making up her passbook." Oribe said into the phone, "That's all." "Didn't receive or deposit any money?" "Not sure, but I don't think so. She's coming out soon." "If she comes out, stop her and ask her to show you the passbook." "Look at the contents of the passbook?" "That's right, I'm rushing over now." Almost at the same time Oribe hung up the phone, Kanno Michiko came out.When she was about to hold up her parasol, Oribe quickly approached her. "Ms. Kanno." After hearing the sound, she seemed startled and backed away.

She should know Oribe's face, but Oribe still gave his name. "Excuse me, what's the matter? Kuaier hasn't contacted me yet." "It seems that you came to make up the passbook just now, can you show me the passbook?" Lu Zi's face instantly turned livid.Oribe thought he was right.He didn't know what was going on, but Mano's instructions were correct. "Why does this kind of thing have to be shown to you? Isn't this an invasion of personal privacy?" "It's true that it can't be forced, but—" when Oribe said this—"but it's better to show us." Mano walked over.

"If we need to investigate, we can negotiate directly with the bank and ask them to provide you with the status of your money. But this is more troublesome, and we don't feel good about each other, don't we?" Lu Zi glared at each other. "So I ask why you want to see my passbook." Even if the opponent is a criminal policeman, she will not give in at all.As expected of a sensual venue, Oribe thought to himself, no, it should mean that she really deserves to be the mother of Kaiji Kanno. "Our purpose is to find out the whereabouts of your son, so I want to have all the relevant information."

"What does a passbook have to do with this?" "Sometimes it will matter." Mano said in a very heavy tone, "Can you show me? As long as the most recent part is fine." Lu Zi frowned and lowered his head.After a while, I took the passbook out of the purse tremblingly. "Then I'll see." Mano took it over.After looking at it quickly, his eyes stopped at one place, "Two days ago I was paid 200,000 yuan, did you get it?" "Oh... yes." Lu Zi nodded vaguely. At this point in the development of the matter, Oribe finally understood Mano's intentions.

"Did you get it with an ATM card? Do you have an ATM card with you?" "That, uh, at home..." "Really? If that's the case, let's go to the manor now, can you show me that card?" Mano's words made Luzi look very embarrassed, his eyes flickered, as if he didn't know how to answer. "The person who receives the money is the son...isn't it?" Mano stared at her face and said. Yes, she nodded slightly. "Is your son carrying the bank's ATM card?" "Yes, I told him that if he doesn't have enough pocket money, he can get it from here. I asked him to carry it with him." Lu Zi whispered.

Oribe looked at the mother's face in surprise when he heard that his idle son had an ATM card on him.Moreover, he noticed that the deposit balance was still more than 500,000 yuan. "We want to ask you some details, can I trouble you to go to the bureau?" To Mano's request, Kanno Michiko answered yes with his head down. "Excuse me, are you Nakai-san?" On the way home from the comic book rental shop, a man said to Ah Cheng.It was a tall, bearded man. "Yes." Ash replied nervously.The other person was dressed casually, but he thought it might be a policeman.He has long found that he is often followed.The police probably suspected that he might have contact with Kuaier.

"Would you like a cup of coffee? I have something I want to talk to you about." "Who are you?" The man handed out a business card with "Focus Weekly" and Kazuo Odagiri's name printed on it. "I just wanted to talk to you about your friend." "friend?" As soon as Ah Cheng asked, an annoying smile appeared on the corner of Odagiri's mouth, "It's that friend named Kanno, Kaiji Kanno, you know him very well, right?" Ash was startled.Kuaier's name should only be known to the police. "I don't know anything." He was about to walk away.

But his shoulder was grabbed by Odagiri, "Wait a minute." His strength was great. "I've heard a lot of people say that you, Kanno and Banzaki often play together. Give me some time! It won't take you too long." "The police told me not to talk nonsense with others." "Yes, it's about the police..." Odagiri's bearded face leaned closer, "I know you were called by the police, and I know why. If you are willing to help me, I won't mention it in the report. your turn." Ah Cheng looked at the reporter's sly smile.He said that as long as he assisted, he would not write. In other words, if he refused, he would write? "I'm underage, you can't publish my name." "I won't write your name. I will only write that when Ms. Nagamine Ema was kidnapped, besides those two rape demons, there was another person who helped. Maybe I will also write that you and those two people are very close." I don’t know what people around you will think after reading this report.” Cheng stared at Odagiri.But the young man's eyes seemed indifferent to Odagiri, he looked back indifferently. "It only takes ten minutes." Odagiri raised a finger, "Is it okay?" "What I know is not a big deal. The police also told me not to talk nonsense with the media..." Ah Cheng lowered his head as he spoke. At this time, he was destined to raise a white flag. "I won't ask you anything serious, don't worry. Let's go get a cold drink." Odagiri pushed Ah-cheng's back, and Ah-cheng took a staggering step. Although it was said that it would only take ten minutes, thirty minutes had passed by the time Ah Cheng was let go.After returning home, he probably didn't want to see his mother's face, so he rushed upstairs and locked himself in his room. Odagiri knew the case like the back of his hand.But what scares Ah Cheng the most is that he seems to be convinced that Atsuya's accomplice is Kuai Er.Of course, if you just go to the places where they usually hang out, you will know that Atsuya's best friend is Kuaier, but it's not like they don't have other friends, so he probably has no evidence to insist that it is Kuaier. "You don't need to worry about this, anyway, I already know." Odagiri answered this point in this way, his expression was full of confidence. Odagiri mainly asked Ah Cheng about Kuaier's personality and usual behavior.When Ah-cheng rescued him with clumsy sentences, Odagiri would confirm with him again with slightly more difficult words.For example, selfishness, suspicion, violent tendencies, domineering, desire for self-expression—Acheng can only nod vaguely.He could vaguely guess how Odagiri would describe Kaier in the report. Then Odagiri asked Ah Cheng what happened when they kidnapped Nagamine Ema.Can't write this point!A Cheng protested.But the reporter shook his hand with a serious expression. "I'm not going to write about the third young man—that's you. I'll try to play it lightly about that." Although Ah Cheng felt skeptical, he could only believe it.There was no other way, so he had no choice but to give a detailed account of the situation at the time of the kidnapping. After Odagiri asked the question, he said it was all right, and left quickly.Ah Cheng really wanted to confirm with him again whether he would really not be mentioned, but he didn't even give Ah Cheng such an opportunity. What would happen if I was published in a weekly magazine—— Even now, Ah Cheng can feel the cold eyes of the people around him.His usual playmates also do not contact him at all, and everyone tries to avoid getting involved with him.He deeply realized that although everyone pretended to have a good relationship with him, in the end, he still had no friends. Ash was lying on the bed.Just as he was about to cover his head with a towel, the phone rang.He slowly got up and picked up his phone.Displayed on the LCD screen is the public telephone. "Hey?" "Hello?" The voice was very low. Ah Cheng was taken aback because he recognized the voice. "Huh? Hello?" He gripped the phone tightly. "Is there anyone next to you?" the other person asked.This is the voice Ah Cheng is very familiar with. "Hurry up?" "I asked if there is anyone next to you? What's the matter?" In an impatient tone.That's right, it's him. "No, I'm alone." "Really?" He heard a "hoo" exhale from the other party, "how is the situation now?" "Uh... what?" "It's the situation on your side, what's the matter? Have I been discovered?" "Maybe. Atsushi has already done that, so the police should investigate in detail." "Did you tell the police?" A Cheng didn't speak.Then he heard a loud click of the tongue. "Did you betray me?" "No, my dad found out about the car, so I went to tell the police myself, and I can't hide it—" "Don't forget," Kuai'er threatened, "you are also an accomplice." "I didn't attack that girl, did I?" "Shut up! If I get arrested, it will be all your fault." "Even if I don't say anything, the police already know about you. You'd better turn yourself in." "Didn't I tell you to shut up?" Because of the other party's roar, Ah Cheng unconsciously held the phone far away, and then brought it close to his ear again.I don't know if the other party hung up.But the phone was still on, and he heard Kuai'er panting. "Is there any evidence?" "evidence?" "It's the evidence that I killed that woman. Maybe Atsuya did it alone?" Cheng understood why he asked this question - Kuaier wanted to blame Dunya for all his crimes. "But you were captured on the tape, right?" "That doesn't matter, it can't be regarded as evidence that I killed that girl!" "I do not know about this." He heard the tongue click again. "Go check it out, and I'll call you again. I'll say what I said first, if you let others know that I called you this time, I will never let you go." Quickly put this sentence down After speaking, hang up the phone.
