Chapter 4 Fossil Street Chapter 4

I never knew that the movie was so long and it was finally over. I think I might still meet a clown when I go back to the underpass at the west exit of Shinjuku.My wife originally wanted to have a full meal in Ginza, but I somehow dragged her back to Shinjuku.Unfortunately, I wandered around the underground passage at the west exit for a long time without seeing the clown. Back at Okubo's house, my emotions were very different from last night, and now I am eagerly looking forward to the appearance of the clown.If he comes beckoning again, I'll definitely go out and talk to him, and let me join them on their treasure hunt if possible!I really made such a bad move because of the difficulty in running the school!

But things are not always as smooth as I imagined.The clown didn't show up all night, and I went to sleep disappointed. On the way to work on Monday morning, I took a ride to the underpass at the west exit of Shinjuku as usual. It was a coincidence that I heard two men standing under the pillars talking among the roar of office workers' shoes, so I pretended to lean on the pillars and watched frequently. Make a table to wait for the bus.I heard the two whispering. "Do you know that clown?" one of the men said. "I hear he's doing pretty well financially!" "Really?" replied another.

"Hmm. I heard that there are a lot of real estate in Jinyuan, and there is a deal of land sale!" "Land sale? Impossible!" "I think it's probably true!" "Maybe it's his ancestral property!" "Silly melon, of course it's because of 'Asali'! The income is very good, don't you know?" "What Asari General?" "The news is so ill-informed, you!" "Betting on horses?" "What and what! That is simply a 'big treasure mountain'!" I'm distraught to hear this, the clown treasure hunt has paid off and the word has leaked.

My drama school is still struggling, and it would be nice to have some success.I'm tired of borrowing money from relatives and friends... What did the mention of "General Asali" mean in those two men's words?name?Object name?Or the code word of Baoshan?I walked away from the pillar while thinking, and hurried to the ticket gate of the Odakyu Line, and rushed to Seijo. All day long, my mind was not at school, and in the afternoon I got a loan from a Ginza merchant. Running around for money was not what I wanted when I founded the drama school. In the afternoon, returning to the underpass at the west exit of Shinjuku, I saw the clown for the third time.

I walked forward without hesitation, as if the money would be at my fingertips as soon as I opened my mouth, and I also felt the possible danger. The group of bullies in black suits might not let me go easily, but drowning and scratching, I also care about the danger. Not so much.I patted the clown who was still looking for weekly magazines in the trash can, and said straightforwardly: "How is it? The treasure hunt seems to be going well, doesn't it?" The clown convulsed in surprise and turned to look at me suddenly, I felt a slight stench. "Do you remember me? You came to my house a few days ago! I've been waiting for you in the yard."

The clown kept looking at me wordlessly, and I looked back at the thick powder on his face without fear. "Didn't you always want to talk to me? It doesn't matter, I want to talk to you too; can I borrow a step to talk to the pillar?" The clown has been following me silently.I stood under the pillar first, staring at him with shrewd and capable eyes, and said decisively: "How is it? Although I don't know what it is, but you are too cunning to swallow it by yourself? I probably know the situation." Oh, there are other guys in Tokyo walking around in the same place, so I don’t need to repeat the so-called same place? Shinjuku Mitsukoshi, Isetan, Ginza Underground Exit C3, A7, and A12 , as well as Toraya Hat Shop, the 11th floor of Seibu Department Store in Ikebukuro, and Mitsukoshi in Ikebukuro. I know all about it. This is the way you hunt for treasures, isn’t it? Is there any secret in it? Has the secret been solved? No, maybe we can discuss it, I am the best at solving puzzles, and it will definitely help you."

Of course, the tone revealed that I also wanted a share of the pie.It is not easy to get a cooked duck from others with just a few words. Sure enough, the clown also wanted to weigh my "weight", he said: "Boss, who do you think you are looking for?" So, I told him all about the group of men in black, the well-bred old gentleman and the beautiful woman about thirty-five years old, and the clown listened carefully. "How about it? Tell me some news too? What kind of treasure is it? Whose is it?" Maybe I showed a salivating face, the clown seemed to be very afraid that I would rob him of his treasure, he would not reveal any information to me from his appearance, when I was thinking of any other way to get out his secret, the clown didn’t know why Muttering such a sentence: "It's still too late..."

"Huh?" I asked him back, not knowing what he meant. "No! It's nothing, it's just that you are really smart, boss. It is indeed as you imagined. We are looking for treasure in Tokyo, and there is a note revealing the way to hide the treasure!" "Is there a note?" "Oh! Thank goodness, God must have sent you to help me, sir! Will you help me?" "Of course, if I can, but you must let me join you. Tell me how things are going?" "I'm sorry, I can't do it now, I still have something to do!" "About General Asari?"

Although I don't know the meaning of General Asari, I tentatively asked.In an instant, the clown's face seemed to change, and he smiled wryly. "The boss knows it very well!" I was a little proud and nodded vigorously. "If you want to know the inside story, come here again this evening?" "come here?" "Well, under this pillar, at the same place!" "What time?" "Time...about six o'clock?" I nodded, why must it be in the evening?I'm a little displeased, but that's what I have to do. At six o'clock, I arrived at the place I had agreed with the clown without missing a second.It's not that I don't understand the danger of my own situation, but in a place with so many people, I forgive him for not daring to do anything to me!

The clown has not come yet, and I gradually feel uneasy.But ten minutes later, he showed up. "I'm late, tell me quickly!" I said straight to the point.As if rushing it, he took advantage of my weakness. "Boss, the boss seems to want money very much!" I felt that I was seen through by him, and I felt slightly unhappy.I answered him: "Who doesn't like money?" "The boss misunderstood, I mean that treasure is money!" There was a cry in my heart, almost uncontrollable joy. "I heard it was 50 million or 100 million yuan. I don't know the correct amount!"

The heart is beating like a morning bell in a church. "A gangster stole money from their organization and planned to abscond with the money. He was going to flee from Narita Airport to a foreign country. He wanted to take the money with him but was afraid of danger, so he hid in Tokyo first!" "Where's the money?" "Hiding somewhere." "Of course I know this!" "No hurry, listen to me." "To make a long story short, just focus on the key points!" "After that gangster hid the money, his whereabouts were discovered by the organization, and he was killed because of it..." "Killed?" "yes." "So, what about the money?" "did not find." "when did it happen?" "last month." "Where was he killed?" "Harukai." "Oh-" It has been a month, and the whereabouts of such a large sum of money have not been found out, so I must quickly find a way.But there are so many eyes and ears, how to investigate secretly? "Are you sure it's in Tokyo? I'm referring to the place where the money is hidden. Is it possible that it's in the hands of a third party? Does that hooligan have no other relatives or friends who know about it?" "This is certain. Because when the gangster was killed, the money had just been hidden for less than an hour." "I see. Then, the money is probably near Harumi. But why does everyone keep wandering around Shinjuku and Ginza?" "this……" Speaking of this, the clown took out a note from his sloppy trousers. I think it was the note he was reading while walking around Shinjuku and Ginza. "Only this piece of paper was found from the hooligan who was killed, with a lot of locations written on it!" I looked at the note that the clown handed over, and it turned out that it read: 1. Shinjuku Mitsukoshi, Staircase No. 4, floors 1, 5, 7, and 8. Staircase number one, first floor. 2. Shinjuku Isetan, 1st floor. 3. Ginza Underground, near Marunouchi Line, underground of Nishi Ginza Department Store. 4. Tram access, in front of Hankyu Department Store. 5. Ginza Underground, near the entrance of Ginza Station on the Hibiya Line. 6. Ginza underground passage, A7 stairs. 7. Ginza Underpass, A12 stairs. 8. Ginza, Toraya Hat Shop. 9. Subway Chiyoda Line Kasumigoseki Station, Exit C4. 10. Ikebukuro, the stairs next to Mitsukoshi Department Store station. 11. Ikebukuro, Seibu Department Store 11th Floor, Seibu Book Center. Obviously, this is the path the Joker follows when I follow him.And not just the Joker, but everyone else is taking the same route. "what is this?" "I don't know either, maybe it has something to do with the location of the hidden treasure!" That's it, I now understand why everyone stops at these places and thinks for a long time. "So, these places are not places to hide money?" "Neither. None of these places. These places are full of people, and there is nothing but smooth stone walls!" "So, what meaning do these places contain?" "This is where I asked you to help me, boss. Here is another note, which was also found in his pocket." The clown took another note from his pocket.This piece of paper is still fairly new.It just said--May 22nd, at midnight, at the apex of the triangle--and it was scrawled and ugly. "What is this? What triangle?" "That's the only thing I can't figure out. It makes my Zhang Er King Kong confused, and my head is about to explode!" I thought about it and had no idea.Even though I graduated from college, I'm as good as a clown. "May 22nd, at midnight... What's the date today?" "The 21st." "At midnight on the 22nd...isn't it midnight today!" I couldn't help shouting, I looked at my watch and it was almost half past six, and I didn't have much time: "I don't have much time, what should I do?" "I've given up and can't think of anything. I'll give you these two notes. You should be able to figure it out if you have a better mind." The clown said slowly, with a very serious attitude. "Give me?" I thought that a large sum of money was about to enter my pocket, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness. It turns out that having money is also happiness! "It's all for you, it's useless for me to keep it!" He shook my hand and walked into the crowd.
