Chapter 69 Section 1

The bowl, which is so big that a human head can fit in it, rotates on the drawing machine. Lai Jiang clamps the side of the bowl with both hands, and slowly presses it outward from the top.She wants to make a big plate. Things are big, so you need to be very careful, but if you don't muster courage and force, the shape cannot be changed. You need to be cautious and bold, and it is difficult to grasp the measure. The mud embryo began to lose its balance in her hands, and she held on desperately.Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out in front of her to assist her in her work, perfectly adjusting the fast-moving mud embryo back into place.

At that moment, Lai Jiang had an illusion, thinking that Ya was also helping him.This has happened many times before.However, the person in front of him was Mifune-sensei.Seeing that the mud on the drawing machine had stabilized, Yu Chuan nodded at Lai Jiang and walked away. How could Ya also be here?Lai Jiang picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After leaving the classroom, I had just walked a few steps when I suddenly heard someone calling "Mrs. Kurata" behind me.Looking back, a man who seemed familiar came over with a smile.The man was bearded and wore a dirty suit, but his eyes were piercing.

"I had a chat with you at the gallery in Ginza. I'm Kato from the Metropolitan Police Department, do you remember?" "Kato...ah." Lai Jiang remembered clearly. "I want to talk to you about something, can I?" The two entered the City Hotel at Shuitiangongqian Station, and the Christmas tree had already been decorated in the lobby.The two sat face to face in the tea room on the first floor.Lai Jiang was full of nostalgia, and it was at this hotel that He Yaye met for the first time. "That gentleman, are you still taking pottery classes?" Hearing Kato's question, Lai Jiang came back to his senses: "What?"

"It's the maker of the jug, whose surname is Suwon. I heard that he is a craftsman." "Oh..." Lai Jiang was very surprised. She didn't expect Kato to still remember Masaya. She thought her heart had been seen through by the other party. "It seems that I haven't come to pottery class recently. Maybe it's because I'm too busy with work." "Have you not seen him lately?" "Well, recently it's been..." "Oh." Kato brought the coffee cup to his mouth, while turning his eyes up to stare at Lai Jiang.The scrutiny in her eyes made her very uncomfortable.

"Half a year ago, you went to Huawu together?" "what?" "Huawu, you talked with Kyoko Soga at the luggage counter on the first floor." Lai Jiang was stunned: How could this policeman know about this? "I did, what's the matter?" "Could you please recall the situation in detail? What did you do after you left Huawu?" "After leaving Huawu?" "Yes, did you and Suwon go to dinner?" Kato asked with a smile. Lai Jiang shook his head. "I separated from him that day, and I went home alone." "affim?"

"affim." Lai Jiang thought, how could he remember wrongly?It was only later that I realized that that day was of great significance—it was the last day I saw Masaya, and I have completely cut off contact with him ever since.Lai Jiang still doesn't understand why.She had even been to his place, but the door was locked and there was no response to knocks. "Is there any problem?" Lai Jiang asked. Kato didn't answer happily. "Where did you and the person surnamed Suyuan meet? I consulted the people in the pottery class, and I heard that you pulled him into the training class."

"How can it be said that it was pulled in...it was just an invitation." "That's why I asked you, how did you meet him?" "I don't understand at all, why are you asking me these questions?" "Why should you hide it? Can't you tell others about your encounter with him?" Lai Jiang felt her cheeks become extremely stiff, and she glared at the policeman with anger in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Kato gently raised his hands, "However, at this stage, I can't explain it to you in detail. We have to keep the secrets in the investigation and have the obligation to protect personal privacy. Please understand."

"You mean that Suwon is related to a certain case?" "I said it just now. I can't tell you now. Maybe I can explain it to you in the future." Lai Jiang took the teacup.Is Ya also involved in some incident?What does this matter have to do with his concealment? "I met him at this hotel." She said slowly. "here?" "Well, but I didn't know him at the time." Lai Jiang described to Kato the scene when he met Yaya in as much detail as possible, and Kato carefully recorded it in a notepad. "That is to say, the person surnamed Shanshen suggested that you invest in a new project, and you are also quite interested."

"There is indeed a tendency to invest." "But at that time Suwon appeared and warned you that you had been deceived. From then on, you started dating." "It's not a relationship... It's a fact that the relationship is relatively close." Kato didn't seem to hear her justification, his eyes were looking into the distance, and he tapped on the table with the tip of his ballpoint pen. "Did anything unusual happen before meeting him?" "Something unusual?" "For example, being watched or followed by others is the so-called stalking."

Lai Jiang shook his head. "I didn't feel it. Why did I have to encounter this kind of thing?" "No better. I ask again, you have no contact with him now?" "Can you give me his cell phone number?" "of course can." Even if you make this call, you won't be able to get through - Lai Jiang wanted to tell the police, but in the end he didn't.He will understand once he hits it. The policeman wrote down the number, closed the notepad, bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you in your busy schedule." "Are you looking for Suwon?"

"Well, yes, I should be looking for him. If I find him, should I let you know?" Lai Jiang couldn't help but want to nod, but he gave up. "I guess he has nothing to look for me. I also have nothing to look for him." As soon as the words came out, she regretted it. It must have sounded like a desolate bravado.
