Mifuyu's language is absolutely correct.Shortly after entering April, I received a second threatening letter.The sender's name was the same as last time, Yonekura Toshiro. Last time I suggested that you buy a certain product, but you did not receive the payment within the time limit. I am very sorry for this. I guess my brother may have special circumstances, so I decided to give you one last chance.This time, instead of remitting money through the bank, the goods and cash are exchanged directly. Time: April 8th at 7:00pm Venue: Ginza 2-chome Chuo-dori Osmanthus Cafe Only one person is allowed.I know you, and I will take the initiative to say hello to you.Suspicious behavior in the store was never allowed before.

Be sure to stick to the time.Even if you are one minute late, the transaction will be suspended immediately. Again, this is the last chance.Sincerely look forward to your presence. After reading the letter, Mifuyu nodded vigorously. "As this man wrote, this is indeed the last chance. If missed, there will be no way to find out his true identity." "How to expose the other party's identity? Even if I give him the money, he can't tell me the truth." Meidong leaned back slightly, shook her hands in front of her eyes and said, "How can I give him money? As I said last time, there is only one rule in this case."

"rule……" "It is to make the other party impatient, make him completely impatient. In this way, he will definitely expose his weaknesses." Mei Dong's lips curled up. April 8th, at six fifty in the evening. Masaya and Mifuyu were sitting in a coffee shop in Ginza, but it was not the designated Osmanthus Hall, but a glass-walled one across the road.Even if you don't stare at it, you can clearly see the scene in the Guihuatang store. "There are so many people." Ya also said Osmanthus Hall.The opposite is also a glass wall. There are five tables on the side of the road and four on the opposite side.Eighty percent of the seats are already occupied.It is still too early to conclude that one of the men is the intimidator. That person may be observing from a distance, intending to confirm that Yaya has arrived before appearing.

"When I was in the West Palace, I heard people say that the man is neither fat nor thin, neither tall nor short, he is considered to be of medium build." Mei Dong who was sitting opposite said in a low voice. "Then, the person on the right can be ruled out." Ya also stared at Osmanthus Hall.The man sitting at the table on the right is much fatter than average. Another man was sitting on the seat inside, his face was not clear.Ya also took out the small binoculars he brought and focused them on him.It's a man with glasses. "I never heard that that person wears glasses." Meidong shook her head.

"It doesn't look like he is either." "Never jump to conclusions. Maybe I don't wear it at ordinary times, or I usually wear glasses, but I took them off when I was inquiring about the situation in Nishinomiya." Ya also nodded silently and continued to observe.A man in glasses placed magazines or something on the table. Just then, another man appeared.This person was wearing a gray suit, and he looked like a company employee.As soon as he sat down on the only vacant seat on the left, he made a gesture of looking at his watch, and then suddenly cast his eyes outside, as if looking at Yaya and the others.Ya also hastily put the binoculars away.

"Another person appeared on the stage." Meifu said. She looked at the watch, and Yaya also followed her gaze on her watch.Exactly seven o'clock. The next five minutes didn't change much, except that the fat man sitting on the right waited for the woman he had met. "I'll go." Meifu stood up, "The next steps will be as we discussed." "Where are you calling from?" "There's a public phone down there, I'll call from there." "understood." Mifuyu went down the stairs.After watching her leave, Ya also observed the Osmanthus Hall again.

She wants to call Osmanthus Hall.Not knowing the name of the intimidator, she asked the clerk to ask if Mr. Yonekura was there.In this way the intimidator cannot turn a deaf ear and must react in some way.Naturally, Meifuyu would not say anything, and would hang up when the intimidator picked up the phone. Three minutes had passed since Mifuyu left her seat.Have you already made a phone call? At this moment, there was a change in the Osmanthus Hall.The waiter appeared, saying something to the guests, and it was the man on the left who responded immediately.He stood up, was led inside by the waiter, and disappeared from sight.

In less than a minute, the man came back. Instead of returning to his seat, he picked up the bill on the table and seemed to be planning to leave. Ya also hurriedly stood up from her seat, paid the bill, and came down the stairs, just in time for Meidong to appear. "How?" she asked. "It's the last person who appeared, and it looks like he's going back." "As expected, he really became suspicious." When the two walked out of the coffee shop, the man also came out from Osmanthus Hall, and walked along Chuo Avenue in the direction of 4-chome.Masaya and Mifuyu also walked in the same direction.

Today, Yaya is wearing a dark blue suit with a white shirt. Meifuyu said that this kind of outfit is the most inconspicuous, and she bought it from a wholesale store specially for this day.Meidong is dressed in a sweater and jeans, a cotton hat covering her eyes, and sunglasses.Huawu is nearby, and she is worried about meeting acquaintances. After a while, the man went underground and got on the Marunouchi Line tram.Masaya and Mifuyu got into the adjacent carriage.There were so many people that it was difficult to keep an eye on him.At every stop, Meidong walks up to the platform, and boards again after seeing that he has not got off.

"Where is he going?" Meidong shook her head slightly: "I don't know, when he gets off the tram, let's split up." "OK." Ya also nodded. Many passengers got off the bus in Shinjuku, but the man was still on board.The train passed by Nishi-Shinjuku, Nakano Sakagami, and Shin-Nakano, but the person did not change.He grabbed the handrail, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed not at all vigilant that he would be followed.Ya also felt that something was wrong.Could it be that someone who left a coffee shop in a hurry after receiving a suspicious call would be so unsuspecting?

Before he could sort out the doubts in his heart, the man started to act.When the train was about to reach Minamiasagaya, he came near the door.Ya also looked at Meidong, and the eyes of the two collided. When we arrived in Minami Asagaya, the man got out of the car as expected.Seeing this scene, Meidong got out of the car first, and Ya also followed after a while. The man left the station and walked along Nakasugi Road towards JR Asagaya Station.Meifuyu followed about ten meters behind him, and about ten meters behind her followed Yaya.There are many pedestrians on the road, so don't worry about being spotted by him. Ya also had doubts in his heart again.Things are going too well.Why do people who are ready to intimidate themselves with fake accounts show up so easily?He always felt that something was wrong, perhaps with the wrong person.But when Meifu called, he was indeed the only one who responded. The man turned left.Meifu quickened her pace, and when turning a corner, she glanced at Yaya. When we came to the small road, there were far fewer pedestrians.In order not to attract the attention of the other party, the distance between them was farther than before.If the distance is too far, once the person suddenly walks into a certain building, he may be lost.Ya also concentrated on following behind. The man suddenly changed direction.Ya also thought he was going to look back, and couldn't help being startled, but the man walked into an apartment on the right. Meifuyu looked at Masaya, stretched out her hand and waved it, as if ordering him not to follow.Indeed, since the other party knew Masaya, it would be too dangerous to get any closer. He stopped, bought a box of cigarettes from the vending machine next to him, lit one immediately, and waited for her to come back while smoking. About five minutes later, Mifuyu walked out of the apartment.Seeing her, Ya also walked over.Just right on the way back to Minamiasagaya station. Arriving at Zhongshan Road, Ya also caught up with her. "Find out his name." "What's your name?" Ya Ye asked while looking ahead. Mifuyu handed over a business card. "do you know it?" "No, I don't know you at all." He shook his head. It says "Zengga's filial piety".
