Chapter 49 first quarter

I was simmering tofu in a mini electric hot pot, drinking beer and watching a funny show on TV when the phone rang ominously.Knowing that the ringtone of the phone is absolutely emotionless, but at that moment, I felt like a catastrophe was imminent. "Hi," I said into the cordless phone, "I'm Kawashima." "Hi," said a man, "So your surname is Chuan Dao?" This person speaks inexplicably, and calls me on his own initiative, but no one even knows my last name? "Yes, I'm Kawashima." I responded again, "Who are you?" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of uncomfortable laughter on the phone.

"Sorry, it's not convenient for me to report my name." The man's words were sticky and vague, showing an artificial taste. The ominous premonition was experienced.Living in the city, it is inevitable that you will receive a call from a pervert. "What's the matter? If it's a harassing call, I'll hang up. I don't have time to accompany you." "Oh, don't hang up in such a hurry. Anyway, I pay for the phone bill. I have something to discuss with you. Please listen to it." "What's up?" "Honestly..." The man deliberately paused before saying, "I'm taking care of a child."

"Child?" "A very cute child. Seeing that he is so well-behaved, the parents must be proud. I am taking care of such a child. If you say it too radically, it can be regarded as abduction and imprisonment, which is commonly known as kidnapping." "etc!" "Don't worry, I haven't made it difficult for him right now, and I have taken good care of him. But my hands and feet are tied up, please bear with me. If he runs away, I won't be able to deal with it. Oh, and also, keep your mouth shut Don’t let me get into trouble by shouting.” "I told you to wait!" I shouted, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about kidnapping," the man replied. "I kidnapped a child." I hum and sneer. "If you want to play the kidnapping game, you have to do your homework first. I'm sorry, I don't have any children at all. I haven't even married yet. Where did the children come from? You should call someone else." After finishing speaking, I was about to hang up the phone, but the man spoke first. "It's none of your business." I put my ear close to the phone again: "What did you say?" "I said, this has nothing to do with you, Mr. Kawashima. It doesn't matter to me whether you have children or whether you are married or not."

"Then why are you still calling me?" "I'll explain it to you right now, don't worry, don't worry." His tone was still ambiguous, and I couldn't help but feel agitated. The man said: "Actually, I am in urgent need of money. No matter what, I have to raise 30 million yuan as soon as possible. But there is nowhere to find such a large sum of money, and no one can ask for it. So I thought Kidnapped." "Oh? You actually confessed your feelings to me. Which one are you acting?" "I haven't finished yet. After making up my mind, I tied up a child. According to the usual development, the next step is to ask for a ransom, right?"

"yes." I couldn't figure out what he wanted to say, so I could only agree tentatively with uneasiness. "But don't you think it's despicable?" "what do you mean?" "It's this kind of practice of taking advantage of parents' love for their children to extort a huge amount of ransom. It's really despicable." "You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing, and I know it." As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly nodded, "Oh, you realized this and decided to stop halfway, didn't you?" "No, no, that's not the case. Wouldn't you get no money? I will never give up halfway."

I was dizzy for a while.There are really all kinds of weirdos in this world, I thought to myself. "But don't you think this approach is despicable?" "I'm talking about demanding a ransom from the child's parents." After that, the man smiled sinisterly. I have a bad feeling. "what do you mean?" "Extorting ransom from the child's parents, I always feel guilty in my conscience, so I thought, it's better to find someone else to pay. Then, Mr. Kawashima, I decided to ask you to pay." "Ah?" I was dumbfounded, "Why did you find me?"

"Well, in one word, it's fate." "fate?" "Just now I just dialed a random phone number, and I ended up calling you. I don't know how many people in Japan have phones, but you are definitely chosen from a million. This can only be said to be fate, and I cherish it Such fate." "Stop joking! What kind of fate is this!"
