Startled by the sudden sound, I couldn't help but look at the man.The man looked at me with a troubled face and smiled flatteringly. "I thought there would be some progress with her daughter here today. However, since her daughter has completed the procedures, this place is no longer the old lady's house in legal documents." He said to me as if to defend. "Are you a helper? A relative? Can you help me contact her daughter. If you hang on like this, you may have to sue or something, and you will be in trouble." "I'll get in touch with her," I said.

"You should contact me now." The man still had an amiable expression, but between the amiable expression and impatience could be vaguely seen. "It's a little inconvenient now...the old lady is like that again..." I was vague.Basically I don't even know where her daughter is. "It's really nerve-wracking. Then I'll come back another day, please communicate well first. Otherwise, we will have to take action if we continue to procrastinate. We just want to respect you as much as possible and visit you like this. What's your name?" "what?"

"Miss, just to be on the safe side, give me your name." "My name is Yasuji Nakamura." I lied out of desperation. "Okay, okay, Miss Kang Zhi, right?" The man stood up while nodding, his hand stretched towards the entrance door.At this moment, from the back room, Kaoru's weak crying sounded like a meowing cat.The man turned his head in disbelief.I hurriedly walked down to the place where I took off my shoes. "Sorry, I don't know the situation. I'll contact Ms. Rakako as soon as possible." I pushed and pulled the man out.Did he hear it?Did he find a baby there?That man, do you know how to contact Tomiko Nakamura's daughter?Will he use some method to get in touch in the past few days, saying that he saw a baby and a strange woman at home, and asked her daughter who I am?I slammed the porch door shut and ran across the corridor like a rebound.

Impossible to reveal, a woman with a baby is impossible to arouse suspicion.He couldn't possibly find out.But I couldn't erase the ominous premonition, and my heart was turbulent. I hugged Kaoru who was crying softly to comfort her.I coaxed my obedient, obedient voice to tremble.Kaoru's crying grew louder.I listened numbly to the cry. February 17 At dawn, the phone rang.I opened the paper door and stared intently at the black phone in the corner of the corridor.The paper door of the woman's room also slammed open with a sound that sounded like a crack.I looked away and saw the woman poking her head out and staring at the phone.The phone rang harshly and kept ringing.

"You pick it up." When the woman noticed me, she said so in a commanding tone.Then, slam the paper door shut again.She seemed to turn up the volume, and the leaked enka became louder. The phone stopped after ten rings, then rang again.I left Kaoru in the room and slowly approached the phone.I pick up the microphone.The black microphone is as heavy as a block of iron.
