Chapter 29 28

As soon as he left the building, the venomous sun scorched Shinsuke's body unceremoniously.He raised his hand, trying to cover the dazzling golden needles with his palm, and walked towards the subway station, the morning traffic rush hour had already begun.Dust of tar stained his slightly sweating body. Kotsuka remained in that room, saying he still wanted to investigate something.Shinsuke didn't want to stay for even a second, so he ran away first, Kozuka asked him where he was going, and his answer was to go home, after all, there was no other place to go. "Don't run around! I'll contact you later." Otsuka said to Shinsuke who was about to leave the room, wearing shoes.

Speaking of which, what was Kishinaka Reiji doing in that weird room?Although it has been confirmed that he is making a doll based on his dead wife, what exactly is "MINA-1"?According to the records in the notebook, Kishinaka intends to create a work that is very similar to human beings, which can be called an artificial human, and it seems that it has really been completed, but is this really possible? The photos left in the computer reappeared in Shinsuke's eyes. The photos recording "MINA-1" were different from "Doll 1" or "Doll 2". A perfect face does resemble a mannequin.

That was Ruriko.So, Ruriko is a doll made by Reiji Kishinaka?Shinsuke thought to himself, how could such a stupid thing happen, she is definitely human.It's not acting in a sci-fi movie, how could there be a doll that can act, talk, and even have the same emotions as humans? So what is her true identity?Kishinaka Minae has no twin sisters, and Kozuka says she has no relatives who look like her. Shinsuke recalled the contents of Rei Kishinaka's notebook.The last sentence he wrote lingered in his mind. "Don't leave me again" I said. I'm not leaving, she said. Who is Kishinaka Reiji talking to?

I always feel that the last time I went home was in the last century. As soon as Shinsuke opened the door, a musty smell rushed in. He stretched out his hand to open the curtains, and opened all the windows, trying to let the air circulate and take away the pungent smell as soon as possible. musty.Because of the reflection of the sun, the room full of dust can be seen flying on the cheap glass table. Shinsuke opened Chengmi's dresser drawer, and inside was a screwdriver with a plastic handle. He picked up the screwdriver and headed to the bathroom.A crude, dusty mirror is mounted on the wall, secured with plastic screws at the four corners.

He inserted the screwdriver into the screw groove, turned it in the opposite direction, and easily loosened the screw. Obviously, the screw had been locked and loosened several times. After Shinsuke removed the four screws, he carefully removed the mirror.There is a big hole behind the mirror, and the damaged part of the wall forms a square about 30 centimeters in size on each side. Shinsuke remembered. There is money hidden here, a very large amount of money, I remember that it is indeed 30 million, and it is hidden in newspapers.Shinsuke didn't tell anyone about hiding the money here, not even Chengmei...

Shinsuke suddenly felt dizzy. Holding the mirror in his hand, he knelt down on his knees and felt a severe headache, which even caused him to want to vomit. A large number of memory puzzle pieces were pieced together and gradually took shape in Shinsuke's mind.The outlines of the originally blurred memories gradually became clear; the messy memories were rearranged, and the missing parts were filled in. Unfortunately, his memory was still incomplete and lacked the most critical parts. After the dizziness and nausea subsided, Shinsuke felt a little more relaxed, so he stood up slowly, returned the mirror to its original position, and re-fastened the screws.

Shinsuke thought he had to find Chengmei, she should have fled with the 30 million sum. He couldn't quite figure out today's date, but it should be Thursday, and Shinsuke called Sentoko after noon. "Where did you go? I didn't come to work yesterday and the day before yesterday without asking for leave. I was very worried!" Qian Duzi's tone seemed displeased, and the reason should not just be sleepy. "Sorry, I'm in a hurry." He thought to himself, he couldn't say that he was under house arrest by a mysterious woman, even if he told her, she wouldn't believe it!

"What's the hurry? At least make a phone call!" "My friend died in an accident. He has no relatives. From vigil to preparations for the funeral, I have to take care of it, so I accidentally forgot to contact him when I got busy." Chizuko sighed on the other end of the phone. "I can't say anything more when you say that. Remember to contact me next time!" "Well, I know. I'm really sorry." "Are you coming to work tonight?" "Well, I'm not sure, maybe there's no way to pass. Can you let me rest for a while?"

"Huh, is that so?" What a hassle, Chitoko is complaining. "Sorry, I haven't slept well these days." "There's no way." After Shinsuke told Chitoko that he would go to work at the store tomorrow, he hung up the phone. Until the evening, there was no news from Kozuka. Shinsuke tried to dial his mobile number, but the call was not connected. A thought suddenly came up in his mind, so he left the room, stopped a taxi, and told the driver, "Please go to the Universal Tower in Nihonbashi." As soon as Shinsuke arrived at the skyscraper, he walked into the foyer, and there was a man in a gray uniform at the counter on the left.As Shinsuke approached, the man raised his head.

"What's the matter?" the man asked, his hair neatly combed. "I'm a nerd, Mr. Okabe lives in No. 4015 here, right?" "Okabe? No, no." The man's eyes fell on his hand. "The 40th floor is all owned by Mr. Uehara. I haven't heard that it is rented to someone named Okabe." "Mr. Uehara?" "It's the president of Imperial Capital Construction." The man showed a regretful expression just halfway through his words, probably because he realized that he was talking too much. "Speaking of the construction of the imperial capital..."

"Anyway, there is no one named Okabe in Room 4015." The man said coldly. The entanglement of questioning might make people suspicious, so Shinsuke hurriedly left after thanking him hastily, and he was also worried that if he stayed there for too long, he would be discovered by Ruriko. After he left the building, he thought again.Thinking of the construction of the imperial capital, he recalled one thing, that is the company Haruhiko Kiuchi worked for. Why is Ruriko free to use that house?Why did Kishinaka make dolls there? Shinsuke stopped on the way to the subway station. He took out his mobile phone and called Okabe Yoshiyuki while standing there. Shinsuke thought that Okabe's voice might be impatient, but he didn't expect the tone to be sharper than he expected. . "It's you again, what's the matter this time?" "I would like you to introduce me to your friend who works in 'Water Mirror'." "Do you want to investigate the matter of Kiuchi again?" "You can say that too!" "He didn't tell you everything he knew before, and it doesn't make sense for you to meet him again." "Whether it makes sense or not, you won't know if you don't ask." "I really can't do anything about you." Okabe let out another breath, "If you want to know about Kiuchi so much, and there happens to be a man who meets your requirements, why don't you try to talk to that guy, how about it?" "What kind of man is the other party?" "Didn't Kiuchi come to our store before? Do you remember the man who came with him at that time?" "That guy with glasses who looks like a salesman?" "Yes. That man liked our store very much, and brought a lady from a certain hotel over the next day." "Aren't you with Kiuchi?" "It's just him and the bar girl. He didn't leave a business card at that time, and his business card is in my hand now." "What's his name?" "The name is Kashimoto Mikio, the 樫树's 樫, the original book, Kano is the stem of the tree trunk, plus the man of the man. I work for a computer software company, a company called HeadBank." "What's his relationship with Kiuchi?" Okabe laughed softly. "You can ask yourself this kind of thing." "Okay! Tell me his contact information." "Business card with his company and cell phone number, and his email address. Which one do you want to know?" "A mobile phone number will do." "OK! But you can't say that I told you!" "I know!" Shinsuke took out the house key, and used that key to engrave the eleven numbers that Okabe said on the iron railing next to him. After hanging up the phone, he recorded those numbers in the phone book of his mobile phone. He immediately dialed the number, and after five beeps, he answered. "Hello." Kashimoto Mikio's voice was slightly high-pitched. Shinsuke apologized for his sudden interruption, and after a few polite greetings, he introduced himself, but of course he concealed his real name and gave Otsuka's name instead. "Actually, I have something to ask you." "What's the matter?" Kashimoto was wary of him, which was natural. "I want to ask you about Mr. Kiuchi." "Kiuchi? What's the matter with him?" Kashimoto only called Kiuchi by his surname, indicating that they were quite familiar with each other, not just partners in work. "Can I meet you outside?" Shinsuke asked as politely as possible. "I'm really sorry to disturb you during your busy schedule, and it's okay after your work is over." "I don't know when things will be done." "Then I'll call later, is it okay in an hour?" "Hmm...please wait a moment." Kiuchi may have gone to confirm the work list, but Shinsuke waited for about three minutes. "Okay, I can spare time around seven o'clock, is it possible at that time?" "Okay, so where do we meet?" "There is a cafe called 'Harmony' in front of our company." "'Harmony', I see, see you at seven." After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Okabe. "What's wrong this time?" His tone was slightly sullen. "You just said it's called HeadBank... well, tell me the address of Kashimoto's company."
