"Hey, what happened to the video tape?" Satakako just entered the store, and Shinji behind the counter immediately asked. "I heard they haven't returned yet." "When will it be returned?" "It's not very clear, that person seems to be waiting for news." "That person" of course refers to Kimura, the owner of the video tape.Before coming to the store, Zuo Guizi had just called.Perhaps because of too frequent urging, Kimura was obviously impatient when he answered. "It's been several days, why didn't he ask the TV station?"

"I said I asked, but I couldn't find the person in charge." Shinji smacked his lips and stared at the small calendar on the counter. "Just based on a photo, that kid Yaya won't pay for it." "Didn't you say that he was scared when he saw the picture?" "He was only afraid when he heard about the video tape. There must be something on the video tape. As long as there is that thing, we have the final say." "Let's lie to him that we have the video tape." Zuo Guizi blurted out. "What's the use of that? He's sure to ask what's on it."

"Make up something casually, for example, there is evidence that Dad is alive." "Mystery doesn't work for him. That guy is quite calm when things happen." Xin Er lit his cigarette, took two puffs, and immediately stubbed it out in the ashtray. Zuo Guizi also felt the same way.When they met in the refuge, Yaya's attitude was extremely natural, and her attitude towards her cousin who lost her father could be said to be impeccable.It is impossible for ordinary people to behave so kindly to the daughter of the person they killed.I forgot when my father said that if Suwon entrusted the operation of the factory to his son, the ending would not be so tragic.

The phone on the counter rang.Shinji picked up the microphone, his elongated face immediately filled with a flattering smile. "I'm causing you trouble... well, I know it's within this month... okay... okay... no, I'm trying my best to find a way... well, it's definitely okay..." Zuo Guizi heard that it was a call urging to pay back the money.Recently, whenever the phone rings in the store, it must be about this.The tone of Shinji's defense seemed to be much smoother. Shinji put down the phone rudely, then straightened his face again, took a bottle of brandy from the shelf, poured it into a wine glass, and took a swig. "That person's surname is Kimura. Call again."

"Just fought. Let's not talk about this, what about that thing?" "That thing? What?" "My father's body can't always be left like that." As expected, Shinji's face contorted.Zuo Guizi didn't know how he would yell at him, so he couldn't help shrinking aside.Shinji spat on the ground. "I don't care." He drank the rest of the brandy in one gulp.
