The white tiled walls glisten.This western-style building has many bay windows and is in new condition. It really looks like a house for a young family.However, the nameplate with the word "Takajo" engraved in steady calligraphy shows that this house was not built with hard-earned loans, and that the neighborhood is where several of Japan's leading rich people live. An intercom is installed under the nameplate.The white mainframe is free of a speck of dirt, which speaks to the family's brand new life. As soon as Zhe Lang pressed the button, someone answered the door immediately: "Who is there?" It was Zhongwei's voice.Zhe Lang originally thought that his wife would come out to answer the door, so he was a little surprised.

"it's me." "Oh, I'll be there right away." Nakao said calmly.About two hours ago, Zhe Lang called and told Zhongwei to come over. Opposite the gate, there is a staircase climbing to the upper left, and the entrance is in front.Nakao opened the door and appeared, casually dressed in a sweater and cotton trousers. "come in." Zhe Lang raised a hand in greeting, opened the door and entered the house.There are several plastic flower pots piled up next to the stairs, none of which have been used.Zhe Lang thought to himself, if the flowers are arranged on this staircase, it must be very beautiful, why are the flower pots left unused?

"I'm sorry to bother you during the holidays." Zhe Lang said. "No, it's okay. Besides, what you want to discuss shouldn't be your business, right?" "Yes." Zhe Lang hasn't told him the details yet, so he doesn't dare to look him in the eyes. Nakao nodded and said, "Come in." Leading him in. The entrance hall was so large that it could be called a luxury, but it gave the impression of being empty.Zhe Lang always felt that something was missing.There is a vase on the big shoe cabinet, but there are no flowers in it.There were no pictures on the walls either.

"Where's sister-in-law?" "She's not here now." "Go shopping?" "No, it's not." Nakao lined up the slippers on the ground. "Well, let's talk about it first." He led Zhe Lang to the living room with the large widescreen TV.A leather sofa arranged in a ㄇ shape surrounds a marble coffee table.In the TV cabinet against the wall, there are foreign wines that Zhe Lang has almost never seen. There is a small photo frame next to the foreign wine, and the photo shows a white bungalow.There is also a garage with iron rolling doors next to the gate.

"This is?" Zhelan asked. "The villa. My father-in-law likes to fish, he didn't like the villa, but he bought it anyway." "where?" "Miura Coast." "That's great." This also made Zhe Lang curious.There are a lot of vacancies in the TV cabinet, and it feels like things have been placed before. Nakao first went to the kitchen to get two mugs, put them on a tray and carried them back to the living room. "Sit wherever you want. Bad hospitality, all I have is a bunch of coffee." "Sorry." Zhe Lang sat on the sofa and reached for the mug.The aroma seems to be different from the coffee I usually drink.He took a sip and asked, "I heard that you have two children, are they sons?"

"No, two daughters. So they can't play football." "It's not that there is no women's team. However, it seems that there is no one now. Are they going out with sister-in-law?" "Well, alas, you can also say that." Nakao raised Erlang's legs and scratched his temples. "To be honest, my wife has brought two daughters back to her natal family." Zhe Lang stopped moving the mug to his mouth. "I never said it, but we might get a divorce," Nakao said briskly. Zhe Lang put the cup on the tea table and carefully looked at his friend's face. "Really?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" "No, it's not..., I was just taken aback." "I think so. However, I don't think I'm talking nonsense. This is the result of my long-term consideration." "why?" When Zhe Lang asked, Nakao smiled faintly. "Do you want to know the reason? Alas, people are indeed curious." "If it's not convenient to say, I won't ask." "I'll tell you later. Well, it won't make you happy to hear about it anyway." "Since when did you separate?" "About ten days ago. This house was built by my father-in-law for us. I had to move out, but my wife seemed to think that it would be easier for her to go back to her natal home. Anyway, after returning to her natal home, she would not have to do housework, and the two children would stick together. I'm an old man. Well, if the divorce is formalized, I have to leave here." Maybe he had already seen it, and Nakao looked like it had nothing to do with him.

"Who do the children belong to...?" "We agreed to be raised by the woman." "Is that so." Zhe Lang wanted to ask: Don't you feel sad about this?But I suddenly realized that I don't have children, so I shouldn't ask this question.So he immediately took a sip of coffee to hide his embarrassment. "You have encountered such an important matter, I am really embarrassed to bother you with troublesome things." Nakao shook his body and laughed. "Nishi Waki, don't worry about it. I am the one who wants to get a divorce. Besides, divorce is not a big deal these days." He lowered Erlang's legs and leaned his body slightly towards Zhelang. "What's the matter with me, let's talk about it. What's wrong with Meiyue?"

Zhe Lang exhaled.Although Nakao's divorce is also a major event, Mizuki's matter is more important, and this issue must be told to him. "She disappeared, I missed the call." "bobble?" "I'm such a failed QB." Zhe Lang shook his head and talked about what happened. After Nakao finished listening, he frowned and thought for a while.Zhe Lang drank his cold coffee and waited for him to speak. "Should we try to find out where Mizuki might go?" After a while, Nakao finally spoke. "I just have a headache because I can't think of where she might go. I tried calling Mr. Guangchuan's house this morning. I think she might go back."

"It's impossible for her to go back." "yes." "Didn't her husband become suspicious when you made that kind of call?" "I inquired carefully, he should have no suspicion." "That's good," Nakao folded his arms. "But it's dangerous to act rashly. I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the police." "I know that. But we must try to find her." "Could it be that Meiyue's disappearance is her plan? At least, I don't think she is surrendering herself." "If that's the case."

"Wait a minute." Nakao got up as if remembering something, and left the living room. Zhe Lang played with the empty mug in his palm.At first glance, Nakao's cup was still full of coffee. After a while, Nakao came back.He held a white note in his hand. "This is the address and phone number of Meiyue's natal family." After speaking, he put the note in front of Zhe Lang. "You mean, has Hiura returned to her mother's house?" "No. I just thought that if she wanted to turn herself in, she would have to contact her natal father in some way." "So that's how it is." Zhe Lang thought to himself: It makes sense, and put the note in his arms. "I will also try to find where she might go. However, in this case, Miyue's possible confidant, I only want you and my wife. If she escapes from your house, it may be harder to find her than going to heaven .” Zhe Lang looked at Nakao and said, "You're really calm, aren't you worried?" "I'm worried. But, I think I know Mizuki better than you. She is not someone who will act rashly." Zhe Lang nodded.It seems that it is better not to tell Nakao what kind of actions Mizuki made before leaving last night. "If Hiura contacts you, ask her where she is no matter what. I hope you can convince her not to take on the problem on her own." "Okay, if she contacts me." "Then, I'll leave it to you. The coffee is delicious." Zhe Lang got up and stretched out his right hand. Nakao took his hand. "I'll treat you to a drink anytime another day." Zhe Lang shook his hand back and looked at him again. "Is this the running back's hand? It just snapped off." "I can't hold anything heavier than a pen recently." He retracted his hand. "Have you eaten well? You're not used to being single, have you suffered a lot?" "My business is not important, you little bitch." Nakao smiled, but there was a hint of anxiety in his voice.Zhe Lang felt that he was indeed a dick, so he decided not to say more. After leaving the entrance and stepping down the stairs leading to the gate, Zhe Lang's eyes stopped on a red tricycle placed inside the gate, and the figure of Nakao looking tenderly at his daughter riding on the bike appeared in front of his eyes. Zhe Lang thought to himself, maybe the family photo was originally placed in the empty space of the TV cabinet. He took a train from Seijo College to Shibuya, then took the subway to Sumiyoshi Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line.This section of the road is quite a distance, and Zhe Lang swayed with the tram, thinking about many things. As for why Mizuki left, he couldn't think of any definite reason.However, what Zhelang heard from Yukio Hirokawa must have contained something that made Mizuki make up his mind. Broken household registration transcript—what does that mean?Why would Akio Tokura have something like that? Mizuki knew the reason for this.Because of this, she must have sensed some danger. Zhe Lang remembered the scene of last night.Mizuki climbed into his bed only after she decided to leave.She must have wanted to tell Zhe Lang something, and wanted to make up her mind before she proposed to have sex with him.She was also mentally prepared when she spread her legs in Zhe Lang's squalid quarters more than ten years ago. Zhe Lang felt a pain in his heart when he thought of her frowning, enduring the pain, trying to get the man's cock inside her.Why can't I perceive that message?It turned out that she was desperately trying to send a hint. As the train approached Sumiyoshi Station, he took out an old notebook from his coat pocket. Zhe Lang originally thought that Mei Yue had disappeared without a trace, but this was not the case.Mizuki left items at Zhelang's house, that is, Akio Togura's notebook and driver's license that she showed Zhelang and the others when she confessed to killing someone.Risako put these two items in a dark cabinet in the closet. Meiyue hid something from Zhelang and the others, of course it was related to the murder case.As such, revisiting the far point again should help clarify the truth.The first step should be to ask Xiangli, she probably grasped Zhe Lang's doubts. Zhe Lang shook with the tram and opened the notepad.In the detailed record of Kali's operation, her address is also recorded; it is located in Room 308, Sumiyoshi Apartment, Sonobe, Sarue, Koto-ku. Go to "Cat's Eye" to see Xiangli.But it's dangerous to ask her inquisitively in the store.I don't know where the Mochizuki detective will be hiding and watching secretly.In addition, Zhe Lang also wanted to see her as soon as possible. As soon as he got out of Sumiyoshi Station, Zhelang started walking with a photocopied map in his hand.Dust was flying all the way.The traffic jam on the bus lane is probably due to the construction of the subway. Zhe Lang turned right at the second traffic light and walked another 200 meters to a small park.He saw the brown exterior of Sumiyoshi's apartment on the opposite side of the park. Surrounded by houses and apartments, no shops in sight.In the middle of the night, there should be few pedestrians on the road.Zhe Lang imagined that if a stalker might be ambushing on the road, Xiangli must be worried about going home alone. Zhelang walked around the apartment, thinking about where Tokura would park his car to monitor the Kali's house.It is not yet known what kind of car it is.In addition, it is also a mystery why the car Mizuki said was left behind "somewhere" has not been found by the police until now.Or, the police already found out, just didn't announce it? Strange, he thought, after walking around the apartment. Mizuki said that while she was walking Kari back to her apartment, Kari's mobile phone rang before entering the house.Akio Tokura seemed to say: Don't let that guy in. In other words, Tokura's ambush must be in a place where the apartment can be seen.But the road in front of the apartment is a dead end, and if you want to park your car, the only suitable place is near the entrance.If they parked in that kind of place, Mizuki and the others should be able to check the face of the driver from the front of the apartment. Mizuki said——Togura parked the car a little far from the apartment. Of course, the statement "somewhere far away" is subjective.But even a stalker, is it possible to spy in such a close place?Besides, will he make a mobile phone call to the other party who is only a few feet away?If it is not done well, there is no guarantee that the man who is with Kaori - Mizuki - will subdue him on the spot.If you were a stalker, you should wait for the other party to disappear before making a call. Zhe Lang entered the apartment with puzzled doubts.It's an old apartment and the door doesn't lock automatically.He entered the elevator and pressed the button for the third floor. Room 308 is located at the end of the corridor and has no nameplate.Zhe Lang originally wanted to press the doorbell installed next to the gate, but stopped.A newspaper was stuffed in the mailbox.Judging from its thickness, it is the Sunday edition, which is today's morning paper. He tried to ring the doorbell, but there was no answer, so he rang two or three more times, but there was no answer.He had a bad premonition, and when he looked at the gate, there was a whole row of electric meters, all of which had stopped.
