white night walk 东野圭吾 2092Words 2018-03-22
That man came on the Monday after Tomohiko and Kirihara talked about "Super Mario".Kirihara went out to buy goods, and Tomohiko greeted customers alone.Hiroe Nakajima is also there, but her job is to answer and call.They advertise in magazines and advertisements, so there are quite a few people calling to inquire and place orders. "MUGEN" opened at the end of last year, when Hiroe was not an employee, Tomohiko and Kirihara were too busy, she only joined in April this year.As soon as Tomohiko opened his mouth, she agreed.Honghui said that her original job was boring and she was considering quitting. Her previous job was at the store where Tomohiko worked until last fall.

The man entered after the customers who bought the old computer at half price had left.He is of medium build and seems to be under fifty years old. The hairline on his forehead is a bit receding, and his hair is combed back.He was wearing white corduroy trousers and a black suede blazer with a pair of green gold-rimmed sunglasses hanging from the jacket's breast pocket.His complexion was bad, his eyes were dull, his mouth was closed tightly in displeasure, and the ends of his lips drooped a little, reminding Tomohiko of an iguana. As soon as he entered the store, he first looked at Tomohiko, and then spent double the time observing Hong Hui who was talking on the phone.Hong Hui noticed his gaze, and probably felt uncomfortable, so she turned the chair to one side.

The man then stared at the computers and related configurations piled on the shelf.You can tell by his expression that he doesn't plan to buy it, nor is he interested in computers. "No games?" The man finally spoke, his voice hoarse. "What kind are you looking for?" Tomohiko asked programmatically. "'Mario,'" the man said. "Something like 'Super Mario.'" "Sorry, no." "What a pity." Contrary to what he said, the man did not look disappointed at all.He smiled inexplicably and repulsively, and continued to look around.

"In this case, I suggest you use a word processor. Although computers can also perform word processing, it is still inconvenient to use...NEC? Yes, NEC has also launched it. Advanced models include Wenhao 5V or 5N...File Stored in the disk... The cheap models can display very few lines at a time. When saving, relatively large files must sometimes be divided into several files to save... Yes, if your work is to write text Mainly, I think the high-end model is more suitable." Hong Hui's voice speaking into the receiver could be heard in the whole store.Tomohiko could tell her voice was faster and louder than usual.He understood that her intention was to express to the man that the store was very busy and had no time to deal with unexplainable customers like you.

Tomohiko wondered who the hell he was, and raised his vigilance at the same time.He was clearly not an ordinary guest, and hearing "Super Mario" from him made Tomohiko even more uneasy.Is this person related to the incident Jin Cheng mentioned last week? Hong Hui hung up the phone, the man seemed to be waiting for this moment, and once again set his sights on Tomohiko and the others.As if he didn't know who to speak to, his eyes turned back and forth between the two of them, and finally stopped on Hong Hui. "Where is the light?" "Liang?" Honghui looked at Tomohiko suspiciously.

"Ryoji, Kirihara Ryoji." The man said coldly, "He is the boss here, isn't he here?" "Going out to do errands." Tomohiko replied. The man turned to him: "When will you be back?" "I don't know, he said it would be later." Tomohiko lied, and according to the schedule, Kirihara should be back soon.But Tomohiko subconsciously thought that he couldn't let this person see Kirihara, at least, they couldn't just let them meet.As far as Tomohiko knows, the only person who calls Kirihara Ryo is Namie Nishiguchi. "Oh." The man looked straight into Tomohiko's eyes, it was a look that wanted to see through the meaning behind the young man's words.Tomohiko wanted to turn his face away.

"Okay then," said the man, "I'll just wait for him. Can I wait here?" "Of course." He didn't dare to say no, and thought that Tong Yuan would be able to calmly handle the situation and drive this person away.He hated himself for not being able to handle everything properly like Kirihara. The man was sitting on the chair, and was about to take out the cigarettes from his jacket pocket, but he put them back in his pocket as if he saw a no-smoking note on the wall.He wears a platinum tail ring. Tomohiko ignored him and started sorting out the summons, but made mistakes several times because he cared about his sight.Honghui confirmed the order with his back to the man.

"I didn't expect that kid to be quite capable. This store is not bad." The man looked around the store and said, "Is that kid okay?" "Very good." Tomohiko replied without looking at it. "That's all right. He's rarely been sick since he was a kid, though." Tomohiko raised his head, the word "children" made him curious. "What kind of friend are you and Kirihara?" "It's an old acquaintance," the man showed a disgusting smile, "I've known him since he was a child. Not only did I know him, but I also knew his parents."

"relative?" "No, it's about the same." After finishing speaking, the man seemed very satisfied with his answer, and nodded loudly.He stopped and asked, "Is he still so gloomy?" "Huh?" Tomohiko asked a question. "I asked him if he was very gloomy. He has been gloomy since he was a child, and what is going on in his head is completely incomprehensible. I wonder if he is better now." "It's okay, it's normal." "Oh." Not knowing what was so funny, the man laughed silently, "Ordinary, it's really great."

Tomohiko thought, even if this person is really a relative of Tong Yuan, Tong Yuan would definitely not want to have anything to do with him. The man looked at his watch, slapped his thigh, and stood up. "It seems that he will not come back for a while, I will come again next time." "If you need to leave a message, I can pass it on." "No, I want to talk to him directly." "Then I will tell him your name." "I said no." The man glared at Tomohiko and walked towards the entrance. That's fine, Tomohiko thought.As long as you tell Kirihara the characteristics of this person, he will definitely understand.Besides, the first priority now is to let this person leave as soon as possible.

"Thank you for coming." Tomohiko said, but the man held out his hand without saying a word. His hand was still in the air, and the handle turned.Then, the door opened.Kirihara was standing outside the door.He looked surprised, probably because he saw someone in front of him. But as soon as his eyes focused on the man's face, his expression suddenly changed.Although it was the same surprise, the nature was completely different. His entire face contorted, then went rigid like a cement mask.Shadows fell on his face, there was no light in his eyes, and his lips resisted everything in the world.Tomohiko saw him like this for the first time and didn't understand what happened. However, these changes only happen in an instant.The next moment, he actually smiled. "Mr. Matsuura?" "Yes." The man responded with a smile. "It has been a long time. How are you?" The two shook hands in front of Tomohiko.
