Chapter 6 Fossil Street Chapter Six

"Where is the child?" I was taken back to the investigation room, and the police yelled loudly. "What child?" I replied humbly. "You're still stubborn when you're about to die, don't say I'll make you worse!" Then, one person interjected: "How serious is the crime of kidnapping for ransom? Do you know that!" "Kidnapping for ransom?" I groaned again.There must be some misunderstanding! "Still pretending not to know?" The original person became disgusted again. "Wait, wait a minute! I really don't know anything. I went to Shengqiao because I heard that there is a treasure there..."

"Treasure? This?" The detective next to him picked up the black handbag while laughing.Open the zipper, and there are bunches of ten thousand yuan bills inside.He picked up a stack and put it in front of me, took out the first one and threw it on the table. It turned out to be a stack of blank papers.They might have seen my disappointed face, and a criminal policeman managed to hold back his laughter. I murmured, "What's going on here?" "You really don't seem to know, or are you determined not to tell the truth?" "You guys seem to be being used by someone." Another guy looked at me and said, "That guy called 'Sun Action Warfare' underestimates us police, and we are very smart!"

Before I could answer, the door was opened by another policeman, and a short man came in and said, "I've been caught!" "Oh! Really? Great!" There was a consistent sense of relief on the faces of the detectives.The tense atmosphere of the entire interrogation also eased. "Okay, the truth is out, tell me, why did you go to Shengqiao?" I half-suspiciously told the whole story. In Shinjuku, I often saw clowns acting mysteriously, meeting old gentlemen, women, and the group of criminal policemen who I thought were gangsters. After finishing speaking, the detectives showed sympathetic expressions on their faces.

"So it turns out that you found Shengqiao based on the note that the clown gave you. So that's how it is. It's really well thought out and not easy." The policeman said admiringly. "That guy is also very smart! He appointed us the place of Shengqiao to exchange for money. I didn't expect that he designed to trick you and change the place by himself." "Yeah, this good 'uncle' was used to participate in the yang action battle, but it's a pity that his cleverness was mistaken by his cleverness. But why did you wait until the designated time at midnight to do it?"

I said ashamedly: "I have thought about this too, but I just can't figure it out..." "Oh! You don't need to use your brain to figure it out, just use common sense to judge whether it's good or not... Really..." "yes." "Okay, now you're fine. Fortunately, you didn't make a big mistake and become an accomplice. Don't be so reckless next time to dream of getting rich, you know?" "Yes, never!" I hasten to apologize for my recklessness. But I couldn’t be relieved that I had to go home like this. I desperately asked a criminal policeman to tell me the whole story, but the criminal police finally couldn’t get over me and took me to another room to tell me the truth of the incident.So many mysteries were solved one by one, but there was only one thing I still didn't understand.

The criminal police told me that the clown was actually a top-notch college graduate and held a supervisory position in a famous company. I thought he was over fifty years old, but unexpectedly the clown was only in his early thirties. I heard he left the company to start his own business.The so-called business is nothing but "General Asari". I always thought it was a child's name, but it is actually the name of this profession. I think this kind of strange industry only exists in Tokyo!It turns out that the reason why the clown buried his head in the trash bin was to pick up unwanted magazines and sell them.

The Japanese are all rich. The magazines, weekly magazines, and comics bought on the same day are discarded on the same day after reading them. Then the "Azali generals" collect these weekly magazines and take them to a fixed trading place. A copy can be sold for 30 yuan. about. ※Bandhammer Academy's E-Book※ These magazines were quickly transported to second-hand bookstalls, and a copy sold for about 100 yuan.I heard it’s still selling well! And those who are engaged in the business of "Asari General" collect collections in the underground tunnel all day long. Popular magazines can pick up hundreds of copies on the day they are published, and their income is quite lucrative.Therefore, many single men join the ranks of this job.This kind of rare occupation, maybe only the metropolis can have it!People who live in the country probably don't even think about it.I had to sigh again—this is Tokyo.

But as a supervisor-level clown, he used to commute to work near Shinjuku. It must be very embarrassing if he was recognized by his colleagues "at work".So, he thought of a good way to dress himself up as a clown, and put on makeup in the toilet of the Shinjuku underground every day.He deliberately changed his voice and added thick white powder, so no one would recognize him.How can you say this is not a world of drama? He also had acting experience when he was a student. He once learned dance and mime. Maybe he has a strong desire to perform in his heart!As an actor and chair of a drama school, I can deeply understand his mood.

The clown went about his life -- as I saw it -- and one day he helped a schoolboy who fell ill picking up receipts in the underpass.Because the police didn't tell me the boy's name, let's call him boy A for now! The boy picking up the receipt is another strange phenomenon in Tokyo.I have also seen other children doing similar jobs, it can be regarded as a "part-time job"!They pick up the receipts and sell them to businessmen who are ready to evade taxes for 10% of the total receipts... You see!This is Tokyo! The clown brought the sick boy back to his nest. The boy seemed to be suffering from a high fever. After a while, the fever had reached the point where he was in a semi-comatose state and could not speak a word.

At first the boy was able to speak, but the boy told the clown that he was entrusted by his father to pick up receipts in the underground tunnel, and that was all the clown knew.Judging by his attire, he should be the child of a rich man.But the clown doesn't know the name, address or phone number of teenager A at all, and has no way to contact his family.After searching for a long time on boy A, he only found a note with the eleven locations written on it, which became the only clue. The clown originally wanted to take boy A to the hospital for medical treatment, but due to his "work", it was inconvenient to talk to the nearby doctors, so as not to feel awkward when meeting in the underground tunnel in the future. In addition, he did not have the basic information of the boy, so he had to go to the pharmacy to buy some The antipyretics were given to the teenager.

At the beginning, the clown thought of those eleven places to see for the medicine money, maybe he could find some clues, but he found nothing.Then there was my reckless question about the treasure hunt. The clown also came to my house to harass me in the mood of drowning and scratching. He thought I must have some secret, although I really didn't know anything. Because of this, the next day, Sunday, he didn't think it necessary to come to my house again.It happened that the boy's fever also subsided, so he asked for the address and phone number of A's house.The woman I met at Exit C4 of Xia Zhiguan on Sunday was the mother of boy A.She went to those places in search of missing children, hoping to find some clues.Of course the mother knew about the note written by the child, and thought that there might be news of the boy in those places, but of course the mother found nothing. As for the group of "bullies" in black, they turned out to be criminal police. They suspected that boy A was kidnapped by gangsters and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him. The clown who took a lot of effort to get the phone number of boy A's home originally wanted to get back the medical expenses. Unexpectedly, when he called A's home for the first time, A's father nervously thought he was a kidnapper and asked How much ransom does he want? Even though the incident happened unexpectedly, the clown was still ruthless and demanded a ransom of 50 million. As for the place and method of payment, we will contact you later.The clown who hung up the phone started to regret it, knowing that the police would take action, and getting the ransom safely was simply fantastic. Then, I appeared again and told him that I would join the gang to help him hunt for treasure! (I really shouldn't believe that old gentleman's joke so easily.) The clown is a very smart guy, and he immediately thought of using me as a trick to get his ransom back.He asked me to meet at the same place at six o'clock in order to arrange everything. After that, it was what he called "Yang Action War".Use me as a bait to lure the police to arrest me, and when the police turn all their attention to Shengqiao, he will sneak into A's house and ask for a ransom—this is his plan. But the problem is that he thinks the police may bring a fake ransom to Shengqiao, and it is impossible for "I" to find the location suggested on the note. When he was also planning, he occasionally discovered that the connection of eleven locations happened to be a trapezoid, and the apex extending into a triangle happened to be the Shengqiao.So, he wrote another note and made up a set of stories about internal strife in the underworld to deceive me. He appointed the time to delay the time for the police to turn their attention. Before the police realized that I was a "counterfeit", he would have enough time to go to A's house to withdraw money. I admire his thorough planning, but he failed a little bit, if this point is noticed, maybe he will succeed.The policeman is not an outsider, but he asked all the policemen to enter the mechanical room and wait. What does this mean?The police played their tricks calmly, and finally arrested the clown at the door of A's house.
