Chapter 6 Chapter Six

The moment I heard those words, a chill ran down my spine.It was an instinctive reaction.This blow made me completely drunk instantly, and I was stunned. I desperately searched my memory for the scene of seven years ago.correct!I have been a loyal customer of the lottery ever since then.Working in a company that is about to go bankrupt, it is difficult not to pin your dreams on lottery tickets... "You...you mean, the lottery ticket I bought won a special prize, right?" "Is there any other possibility besides this? After you win 10 million yuan, you should go to Ginza for a drink, right?"

I just feel that my throat is extremely thirsty.The manager also put down his glass, dazed in a daze. "I remember! When I was about to open the newspaper to look at the lottery winning numbers that day, that fat old man suddenly appeared..." I muttered to myself while recalling the past.Due to the impact he received, his voice sounded like someone else's. "At that time, I wish I could look at the winning numbers quickly, wouldn't I?" "That old man named Zentaro, didn't he ask you if you often go out with valuables? He was spying on where the lottery tickets are stored."

oops!It turned out to be such a thing! "But, when I got home and opened the drawer, the lottery tickets were still there!" "But you missed it, didn't you?" "yes……" "That's the lottery ticket that was exchanged by Kato." "Kato? But...but when did he steal my room key? To enter that room, you must steal my keychain!" "Of course, because you fell for that old man Zentaro's trick. You put the key chain in your outer pocket after you mentioned it. Didn't you take off your coat when you entered that unair-conditioned room?"

oops!That's why there is no air-conditioning installed! "But that coat has been hanging where I can see it!" "You should go to the toilet at least once, right? Even if you don't, it would be easy for him to find another way to get the keychain. After he stole it, he gave it to the waiter downstairs when he walked out of the room to order pork chop rice. Kato... No! Maybe it's not necessary at all. He might also throw the key down the open window without your eyes while you are concentrating on copying those names and addresses. At this time, he may even lose your driver's license Throw it down together, and then Kato will act according to the plan downstairs. He will first get your address from the driver's license, and then rush to your room as quickly as possible, use the key to open the door, and search for the lottery ticket. In case you can't find it Now, he will rush to your company immediately, and he should be able to find it from your desk. This is their plan."

I want to cry. "After Kato found the lottery ticket in your room, he exchanged it with a lottery ticket that didn't win, and then rushed back to Nakano to make you feel lucky to be able to go back. Didn't that guy called Zenbei help you put on your coat? At that time Probably put the keys and driver's license back in place very quickly." I started cursing my stupidity. "That old man Shanzuo is really an interesting guy. He designed it very well. He even used a fake name. He is obviously a big liar, but he is called Shanzuo (because the young man has a poor memory of names, he called Shanji Another name - Stick School Note), so defiant, so humorous. Next time you meet him, be sure to introduce him to me. This receipt is also well designed, 'The Leaning Tower of Pisa Rescue Committee', is Poetic. After he steals and swindles everywhere, he will probably send a receipt to the deceived person, maybe he thinks this is a kind of politeness. He is really a gentlemanly thief."

I was desperate, but I still asked: "But, why did he know that I won the special prize? No! It should be asked this way: How did he know that I won the big prize with that lottery ticket?" "That's probably from your advertisement." "I advertise?" "Aren't the numbers you wrote on your nails the numbers on the lottery ticket you just bought? Does the lottery ticket number have a total of eight digits? It just happens to be the total number of fingers other than the two thumbs." "what……" I sighed, looking at the numbers on my nails, and almost cried.When I was in college, I played this kind of game once, and ended up winning 10,000 yuan in the lottery.Since then, I have developed this hobby, and it has not changed until now.That's exactly what I did seven years ago.

"It's not difficult to find out where the lottery tickets that won the special prize were sold. After further investigation, we found a strange person who always likes to write lottery ticket numbers on his nails to show off. The special prize for the week just fell into the hands of this guy. So they managed to get the lottery ticket before the guy even knew he had won. So I figured, someone must have come to you that morning and looked at your nails with wide eyes... " At this time, I was too lazy to recall whether it was true what he said.I just feel angry. "But, afterward, didn't you compare the numbers on the fingernails with the numbers on the lottery ticket in the drawer?" said the young man.I don't think I checked.Why should I compare it?Who would have thought that a lottery ticket that had been kept in a drawer in the room could be secretly exchanged?

How I got home next, I don't remember at all, only that when I woke up I was already in the apartment.The drink may have been paid for by the manager in sympathy with me. How confused I am!I sat in the middle of the cramped room, condemning myself again when Kato sneaked into my room and rummaged through the boxes. I was desperately copying names and addresses on envelopes that would never be mailed, writing solemnly and sweating profusely! Nowadays, the lottery winning numbers are usually published in the evening paper, but the situation was different seven years ago. At that time, the lottery was called "Big Mac", and the lottery was held in the evening, and the venue was very large.Although the evening TV news will broadcast the winning numbers immediately, the newspapers will only publish them in the morning paper the next day.

I can't watch the evening TV news because I have to go to work.And I work for a newspaper, and there is no newspaper subscription at home, so those scammers have plenty of time to drill their battle plans. I turned off the light, and lay on all fours in the middle of the cheap apartment room, but I didn't feel sleepy at all, and just lay there motionless.Before I knew it, the sky outside the window gradually turned white, and I just felt extremely empty.Think of yourself as a person with ups and downs of luck.In fact, that incredible experience was the one with the most ups and downs in the pattern.Luck came closest to my eyes, then slipped slipperily through my armpits.

I have been thinking about what would have happened if I had won 10 million won seven years ago.In terms of the currency value at the time, the money could buy a luxury apartment to live in, right?Even if you can't afford it, paying the down payment should be easy, right?Maybe I'll use that money as capital, start a small business, and get out of the office worker's life?Or is it for marriage? ※Bandhammer Academy's E-Book※ I stood up, opened the battered window and stared outside.The sky is gray and the air is cool, and the metropolis wakes up.I looked up at the sky and saw a small red dot blinking, probably a small plane.

I reached into my pocket and found a rectangle of sturdy paper.What it is?I took it out and saw that it was a business card.Who gave it to me?I recalled it, and finally remembered it slowly.It was given to me by a young man I just met in that coffee bar.As we said goodbye, the manager said to him, "That's really impressive! Can we have a business card, please?" Probably he also gave me a copy at that time, because I was in a daze and couldn't remember clearly. I read the business card by the light of the street lamp.There are a few words on it that look like names but have no clear meaning: "Royalwashing". I couldn't help laughing out loud.what is this?Is it a name?Probably!Or is that person joking?What a first-rate joke.Is it similar to the Leaning Tower of Pisa?This city is really diverse, full of strange things, and there are all kinds of ways to fool people.Is this a slogan telling people to clean the toilets?Or is it hiding something? Maybe it's because of laughing that I feel more comfortable.Getting married, buying an apartment, starting a business, etc., isn’t ambition too small?Thinking about the luck that that lottery ticket brought me seven years ago, that's all there is at most.Compared with what Yoshikichi Ozaki told me about his ambition to build a country for the Jews in Manchuria, the scale of these things is too small!I am still moved by that passage he said to this day, and I believe that passage even if the rest is not believable.I believe it was the swindler's youthful dream, his true words. My mood gradually improved.I think, just take the 10 million yen as the price for listening to that passage. Zenkichi O said that the current Tokyo people are too small.What nonsense!If you love money so much, I will give you this ten million small money, but you must... "Zidian Kai must fly in the sky!" I muttered to myself while looking at the red light spot in the sky.Then, I seemed to see Yoshikichi Ozaki with nose glasses appearing in the sky, he was slightly raising the white cap on his head and nodding to me—— (Finish)
