Chapter 32 Section 4

Today's grilled fish set is salt grilled herring.Ya also took a sip of beer and picked up a piece of fish with disposable chopsticks.He has always been good at eating fish, no matter how many fish bones there are, it will not be a problem.An aunt among relatives even called him "Maobuli", teasing him that he eats fish too cleanly, and said that because of this, Yaya is suitable for manual work. Herring is moderately fat and lean, especially delicious.Okada can add rice as he likes, and Yaya finished the bowl quickly, beckoning to Yuko. "You have a good appetite." Youzi took the bowl and smiled, "Are you busy with work?"

"Not too busy. The food here is good." "The boss must be happy to hear you say that." Youzi smiled and went to the kitchen.She called her father the boss in the store. Actually quite busy.After the New Year, orders for parts for small car models increased, and President Fukuda often asked Masaya to make strange parts with unknown uses, so he always had to work overtime.But Ya also feels tired because of these.The work that Meidong entrusts him to do from time to time has become his biggest burden. Not only is it a waste of time, but he also has to be careful not to be discovered by Futian, which is extremely hard.

Meifuyu still brought blueprints of rings or necklaces from time to time, begging him to make them.Recently, what she brings is no longer blueprints, but design drawings drawn three-dimensionally in the computer.I don't know where I learned it. Meidong is proficient in computer operations. Sometimes I process some brand-name products to look like my own originals, and then give him a photo and ask him to make it according to the above.Ya has never formally learned jewelry carving, and can only rely on repeated explorations, exhausted from exhaustion. But every time I saw Mifuyu's happy expression when she brought the finished product to Mifuyu, all these hard work disappeared without a trace.He was sure that for her, he could give everything.

He once asked why he asked himself to make these things, and the answer he got was always the same: "For our future. Yaya, every work you help me make will support our future." Mifuyu did not tell Masaya the meaning of this sentence.She seems to be planning to give it a go in the gem jewelry industry, but he doesn't know the specific steps. The matter of the beautician also made Ya also a little concerned.Without Yaya's knowledge, Meidong actually opened a beauty salon.Knowing that the store manager there is Qingjiang, Ya is also extremely surprised, and really wonders how Meidong wins him over.For Yaya, opening a store is like a bolt from the blue.

"It's nothing, just renting a house and decorating it. The key depends on the future. How to make the beauty salon famous is the key to success." It looks like Mifuyu wins in the end.The MON AMI she runs has now become a well-known beauty salon, Qingjiang is very popular, and she is often interviewed by magazines. A successful career is certainly a good thing, but every time she sees Mifuyu's actions, Masa also feels inexplicably uneasy.Why on earth did she do those things?Where exactly does it want to go?Ya also couldn't see through it at all. He thought of the two side-by-side black moles on Meidong's neck.An Pu, a former worker at the Futian factory, was killed by a strange woman and lost his job.The woman's identity remains a mystery to this day, and the only feature An Pu remembers is the two moles on her neck.

Ya also thinks it is impossible, but she also thinks that Meidong can definitely do it.For a while, the Futian factory was mainly engaged in silver jewelry processing, and now it still has jewelry carving equipment. It is precisely because of this that Yaya can meet Meidong's requirements.He began to wonder, did she suggest that he go to work in that factory after learning about this situation?Moreover, in order to ensure that Ya can also work there, she also set a trap for An Pu, because the nature of his work is the same as hers - is this just her own worry? The grilled fish set meal was eaten cleanly, and the beer was also drained, and Ya also stood up.

"Don't you want rice balls today?" Youzi asked when paying the bill. "Yeah. I want to go to bed right after I take a shower." "Are you tired?" Youzi asked with concern, "You live alone, how do you do cleaning and laundry?" "Do the laundry, do it yourself when you're happy. Never clean up." The occasional woman who comes over to help me clean-this kind of words can't be said anyway. "It's not good for your health if the room is too dirty." Youzi frowned and said in a low voice, "Let me clean it for you, I'm pretty good at it."

A guest greeted Youzi, she turned her head and said goodbye to Yaya.He nodded slightly and left the restaurant. On the way back to the residence, Ya also thought, what would it be like to live with a woman like Youzi?He didn't know Youzi very well, but he felt that if he was with her, he would definitely be able to live a stable and peaceful life, relying on an income that was unlikely to change much, and living on a budget.Youzi should not have any complaints, maybe find fun in ordinary life and build a happy family-at least not put too much tension on yourself. When I returned to the room, I found something stuck in the mailbox on the door. I took it out and saw that it was a letter addressed to him.Ya was also confused and surprised.Never received a letter since moving here because almost no one knows the address.

The recipient's name is typewritten.Ya also looked at the bottom, which was also printed.When he saw the name of the sender, he almost cried out in surprise. It says "Yonekura Toshiro". Ya also never forgot the name.No matter what he was doing, the scene at that time always appeared in front of him like a phantom from time to time-in the morning of the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake, he smashed his uncle's head. Why did you send yourself a letter under this name?Ya also made various guesses about the sender's intentions and opened the envelope. Inside was a letter and a photo.On the letter paper are also printed words:

I want to sell the evidence of that morning, and I offer 10 million yen, and I refuse to make a deal below that price.The remittance account is the general account 1256498 Sugino Kazuo of Shinjuku Branch of xx Bank, and it is expected to be at the end of March 1996. If the remittance is not made within the time limit, the transaction will be deemed invalid and we will not contact you again in the future.Evidence will be handed over to third parties, including those involved in the judiciary. Ya also trembled all over.He looked at the photo, and just glanced at it, and immediately became dizzy.The photo shows the scene that morning.Collapsed buildings, the sloping signboard of the Suwon Factory, and a tall man in a green winter suit.The man was waving something, and there was another man under him, crushed under the rubble.

Ya also slumped to the ground holding the photo.The first thing he thought of was Sakako and her unmarried husband Kotani.They have long suspected that Yaya killed Junlang, and have been trying their best to find evidence. This letter is from them?Finally found new evidence? But they will never be anonymous. Ya also looked at the photo carefully again, the picture is definitely not clear.Ya has seen this video before, and it is very similar to the videotape that Zuo Guizi and his wife want to get, but there is no scene of Ya waving and beating people like this in that video tape. He wanted to compare it with that videotape, but it was impossible: after Meidong handed it to him, he burned it himself immediately. Who is it?Ya was also thinking, when the phone rang suddenly, and he almost jumped up in an instant. It was Mifuyu who said she would come over now.Ya also panicked, hesitating whether to tell her about the threatening letter. "What? Inconvenient?" "No, no." "Then I'll be there now, and I'll be there in about five minutes." After hanging up the phone, Ya also put the photo and letter back into the envelope, stuffed it into the pocket of the overalls, and began to change clothes.While he was changing into sweatpants and an undershirt, the doorbell rang. "Have you had dinner yet?" Meifuyu asked as soon as she opened the door. "have eaten." "Oh, I stopped by McLough." She held up the white bag.When she was with Yaya, she still spoke in Kansai dialect.It is estimated that she would call McDonald's McDonald's only in front of him. "Why did you come here suddenly and want to make a ring again?" Ya Ye asked. "Don't make it seem like I only come here when I have something to ask you, I just want to see you." Mei Dong smiled at him, but immediately lowered her face and frowned in surprise, "What's wrong?" "No, nothing." Ya also looked away. "Your complexion is not good, do you have a cold?" Meifuyu reached out to touch Yaya's forehead. "It's okay." He said and pushed her hand away.She looked up at him in surprise. "I'm sorry, it's really nothing." He waved his hand, "I'm going to make coffee. Meifu, do you eat hamburgers?" She didn't answer.Ya also saw that she was standing there biting her lip tightly. "Yaya," she whispered calmly, "what happened, why did you hide it from me? Aren't we in one mind? Didn't we make an oath that if there is any difficulty, we should help each other." "It's really..." Ya couldn't continue, he was overwhelmed by Meidong's sincere eyes. Ya also took out the envelope from her overalls and handed it to her silently.He didn't want to talk to her about killing Jun Lang, he always felt that it was a taboo thing for both of them. When reading the threatening letter, Mifuyu's eyes widened for a moment.After reading it several times, she sat on the tatami and looked at Yaya. "Can you guess where this photo came from?" "Can not guess." "Can't guess who the sender is?" "Barely speaking, it may be the Sakako couple, but I don't think they will take this approach." "It's not an ordinary photo, it's a printout from a videotape." "I thought it was from that video tape, but..." I don't know if Meifu can understand the meaning of that video tape, but it seems that his worry is unnecessary. "Is there such a scene above?" Meifu immediately asked. "I don't think so. Although my figure is photographed, there is no such scene." Mifuyu turned her eyes to the photo again, and tilted her head.Ya also looked at her face and thought, we are really abnormal, talking about murder is like talking about a trivial matter. She raised her head: "Well, what are you going to do?" Ya couldn't answer either.When he was at a loss, she called. "You want to pay?" Ya also sighed lightly. "How could I have 10 million." "If there is, will you give it?" "I don't know..." Ya also shook her head.He didn't know how to answer.The threatening letter clearly stated that if you don't pay, you will tell the police.That didn't seem like pure intimidation. " "If you want to give money anyway, I can help you." "What..." Ya also looked at her face. "But I don't think you should give money." Meidong pinched the photo with her fingers and said with a slight sway, "This is a trap, and once you fall, it will be hell, a hell from which you will never recover. If you think sending this threatening letter Those who believe will stop here, then you are too naive. In the future, he will make more unreasonable demands, and he will probably haunt you for the rest of his life, okay?" "How can it be good? But if the police find out, it will be over." Mifuyu put the photo on the table. "I don't think the man would do that. At least, if you didn't pay within the deadline, he wouldn't report it right away. It wouldn't do him any favors." "But it can't be ignored. If it continues like this, that person will definitely come up with a new trick." "That's the problem. With the current situation, we have nothing to do, because we don't know who the opponent is. If we want to fight, we must first find out the identity of the enemy. This requires certain clues. Ignore him this time, just As you said, the enemy will definitely react in a certain way. The other party does not want to be ignored anymore, and will probably take a more violent approach next time. This is our purpose. People, as long as you are in a hurry, your shortcomings will definitely be exposed." Looking at her staring eyes, and even smiling when she spoke, Ya also suddenly thought, maybe this woman thinks it's fun to use tactics like this. "Can it be as you think?" "We can't let it go. We also have to rack our brains to find a way, but there is nothing we can do at the moment. The person who opened the bank account can be found, but it must be a pseudonym. You can open fake accounts at will these days." Ya felt the same way. "Let's see what's going on..." "I think it should be." Meidong nodded. "Hey, Meidong, there is something I wanted to ask you for a long time." Ya also shrunk her chin, turned her eyes up, and looked at her. She regained her serious expression. "You want to ask about the tape?" "How did you get that thing? Zuo Takako and the others should have acted too." "That time was particularly dangerous. If you were one step late, someone else would definitely have caught you first. I can only say that you are lucky." "So I asked you how..." "The person who recorded that tape was a homeless person in Osaka. I said that I would broadcast this tape on the TV station, and I easily gained the trust of the other party and got the tape. That person should have nothing to do with this letter." "Hmm..." Ya had never seen that person before, so it was difficult to say anything. Mifuyu picked up the envelope and stared at it. "It's the postmark of the Kojicho Post Office. If you're from Kansai, you wouldn't go to Tokyo just to send a letter." "The designated bank is also the Shinjuku branch." "Fake accounts can be obtained all over the country. Since the account at the Shinjuku branch is specially designated, it must be very convenient for the other party." Ya felt the same way. "But I don't know anyone in Tokyo. The most important thing is that it is absolutely impossible for people in Tokyo to know what happened in that earthquake." "Maybe that person lived in Kansai when the earthquake happened, and now he came to Tokyo, or he has been in Tokyo all the time, and got the photos or video tapes through some means..." Mifuyu seemed to be looking into the distance, "Tomorrow I will go to Nishinomiya .” "To the West Palace?" "Anyway, the enemy must have inquired everywhere in order to find out where you live, and they should have left traces in some places. I'll go and check. I happen to have more time now." "I will go with you?" "You'd better not go, I don't know how the enemy is acting in the West Palace. You are also very busy in the factory, haven't you been working overtime recently? I also always make you do some weird jobs, which exhausts you. " "No, that's nothing. Meifuyu, are you going alone?" "Well, leave it to me." She patted her chest hard and looked at Yaya with sincere eyes, "This is the first difficulty for us, but we must not fail because of this kind of thing, we must break through past." "I understand." Ya also looked into her eyes. The hamburger that Meidong specially bought at McDonald's was completely cold.She roasted it on the stove and took a beer from the refrigerator. "As long as I'm with Yaya, everything tastes good." Mei Dong took a big bite of the hamburger. Ya also drank beer, and then they hugged each other under the covers.The quilt that hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time was hard and cold, but the two of them were naked and pressed against each other, and after a while they were so warm that they were almost sweating. Mifuyu stretched out her hand to Masaya's lower body, but his reaction was not very sharp.She looked up at him inquiringly: "Still worried about the threatening letter?" She was right.Ya also knows that thinking about it now is useless, and the content of the credible is still lingering in his mind. "It doesn't matter, I will definitely find a way to find out the truth and see which guy wants you to suffer." Yaya put one arm around her shoulders and stroked her hair with her free hand.Her hair was fragrant.Ya also guessed that it was left over from the shampoo used in the beauty salon she ran. "Hey, Yaya," Meidong raised her head, "If you find out the origin of the other party, what are you going to do?" Ya can't answer that question either.To be honest, he really didn't know what to do.Even if you find out who the other party is, it doesn't mean that you will no longer be intimidated. Of course, you can't call the police. Mifuyu's fingers started to move on Masaya's chest.It seems to be writing something. "Ya, I'm already mentally prepared." He raised his head and met his eyes. "Mental preparation..." She looked him in the eyes and nodded. "As I said before, the world is full of wars. My only partner is you, and your only partner is me. In order to survive, you must be mentally prepared to do anything." Ya also understood what she meant.If you want to never have to worry about intimidators appearing in the future, there is only one way.It's not that Ya didn't think about it, but that imagination was too terrifying, and he consciously excluded it. "Yaye," Meidong said, seeing that he was silent, "there is no way to get the best of both worlds." "Ok……" "It's hard to forge a path if you avoid things you don't want to do." "I understand this, but there are some things you can do and some things you can't." "But you had already done it then." Meidong's eyes seemed to light up.Ya also understood what she meant by "at that time". "That...was a mistake." "Are you regretting? What would have happened if you hadn't killed uncle then?" Ya didn't know either.What would have happened if uncle hadn't been killed then?Surely the father's insurance money would be taken, maybe that would be better? "Whether it's impulsive or whatever, you're sure to pick the best path right away whenever you want, though I don't know the details. You can do that." "Is that the best way?" "I believe in your ability to judge. Moreover, whether the path is correct or not depends on your future actions. No matter how correct your initial choice is, if your subsequent actions are wrong, it will not work." What to do next... Is it to make everyone in the way disappear?Is this the path I should choose?Ya also wanted to ask Meidong, but couldn't ask. "Hey, you can't think about taking the Sunshine Avenue." Mei Dong's tone was extremely serious. Ya didn't quite understand what it meant, so she looked at her. "We have no choice but to walk on the road in the night. Even if it is as bright as day, it is only unreal day. We have already accepted our fate."
