Chapter 42 41

After Shinsuke left the Garden Palace building, he first went to a coffee shop, and then watched a movie to pass the rest of the time.But the plot of the movie couldn't get into his mind. After all, what Kiuchi said shocked him too much. He kept thinking about those things in his mind. After thinking for a while, he was so tired that he dozed off in the movie theater. What to do next? —— Shinsuke was thinking after leaving the movie theater. The current time on the watch is 11:30 in the morning. He actually wanted to go back to the building where he lived and continue to pack his luggage, but the fear of a few hours ago had not disappeared from his mind.

Where did Ruriko disappear to? Shinsuke pondered the possibility that she was in ambush inside the house, and he was not confident that he could escape from the other party's incredible power.Even so, he couldn't just stay home like this, what should he do? At this moment, the phone rang. "Hey." "Is it Shinsuke? It's me." "Ah!" He immediately recognized Jiang Dao's voice. "About the previous transaction," Ejima said on the other end of the phone. "I've got the money ready." "As expected of Mr. Ejima. Such a large amount of money was prepared so quickly."

"Don't be ridiculous! Even I can't easily raise it, and I still have to give a sum of money for unknown purposes." At this time, Jiang Dao's tone is still easy to handle. "So, where am I going to take it? Personally, I think it's best to stay out of the way." "I think so." "Then come to the place I'm talking about." The place Ejima mentioned was a cafe in the middle of Ginza. "Isn't it going to be in an unobtrusive place?" "It's very unobtrusive! Or, do you think someone is watching us?" Jiang Dao laughed softly. "The timing is up to you."

"Just a little!" "One point, I know." After Shensuke hung up the phone, he took a deep breath, thinking to himself, the critical moment has finally arrived. He arrived at the cafe about fifteen minutes earlier than scheduled. In this cafe overlooking Harumi Road, there were many men who looked like office workers.If the two men make an appointment to meet here, it will indeed not attract attention. Ejima appeared about five minutes later, wearing a plain jacket and holding nothing. "It's so early!" "Because I'm free!" The waiter came over and Shinsuke was already drinking lemon tea.So Ejima ordered coffee, and Shinsuke noticed that he was trying not to look up.

"Did you come here empty-handed?" Shinsuke asked tentatively. The corners of Ejima's mouth raised slightly, he reached into the inside of his jacket, and took out a brown envelope. "You can open it and have a look." Shinsuke held the envelope in his hand and looked at it, there was a key inside. "I put things in the basement locker at Shimbashi Station." "I need to check what's inside." "You can count slowly later." Jiang Dao lit a cigarette with a cigarette in his mouth, and his attitude was still calm and unwavering. The coffee was delivered, Ejima added a little milk and took a sip, then grinned.

"Drinking coffee in Ginza at this kind of time, I don't know how many years ago! We must cherish this kind of time in the future!" "Mr. Ejima," Shinsuke said after stuffing the key of the locker into his pocket, "About the one-in-10,000 chance you said before, is that your truth?" "One in ten thousand things?" "It's the probability of death in a traffic accident. Didn't you tell me before?" "Oh, that thing..." Jiang Dao flicked the cigarette ash into the ashtray, "What happened to what I said?" "Mr. Ejima said it! A car accident is like throwing dice. The victim just happened to roll a bad number. At that time, you said those words to comfort me who thought I was the perpetrator? Or do you really think so? "

Ejima showed an expression of disbelief, as if he couldn't understand Shinsuke's intention in asking this matter. "Of course I really think so! Don't I?" "Haven't you ever thought about Kishinaka Minae who was hit and killed by a car?" "What can I do if I think about it? Can anyone be saved?" "But the victim will always resent the perpetrator!" Even after death, Shinsuke didn't say that. "That's why I have to pay!" Jiang Dao's tone became a little rude, "I have already paid generous compensation to the victim's family, and I will also give the money to you who pretended to be the perpetrator like this. To be honest, I It's the victim!"

"But what the victim wants is not necessarily money!" "Then what do I have to give the other party? Sincerity? If the other party says that sincerity is all they need, I will show it to the other party no matter how much they want! If the other party only wants me to bow my head and admit my mistake, I can bow down and admit my mistake hundreds of times. But, Can the family members of the victims be happy in this way? The last thing they want is money? So it’s not good to save all the troubles that are not constructive and just discuss the matter directly? Don’t you think so?”

Shinsuke couldn't answer anything, so he could only keep silent. Ejima stood up. "The transaction ends here. Let me declare first. You'd better not dig deeper into the soft soil. I'm not your cash cow. If you continue to force me, I can't guarantee your personal safety!" "I understand, this is the end." Jiang Dao nodded, picked up the bill and walked away. Shinsuke left the cafe and went to Shimbashi Station. He hadn't walked in Ginza during the day for a long time.He didn't have the sense of reality that he was about to get 50 million yuan. Instead, after hearing what Jiang Dao said just now, the depression in his chest lingered for a long time.

Shinsuke, who has fully recovered his memory, can already recall the scene when he was sentenced.Two years in prison, suspended for three years— When he heard the sentence, two thoughts came to him. The first one was, great!Although the lawyer will definitely receive a suspended sentence, if the sentence is not as predicted by the lawyer... Shen Jie still feels a little terrified when he thinks of the prison life in the movie. Another idea is the exact opposite. The sentence is really light!he thought so. Shinsuke has a female friend who works part-time at a jewelry store in Shibuya.Once, she was short of pocket money, so she took away goods worth about 100,000 yuan from the store and sold them to friends at a low price. Then she confessed to the store manager that the store had been stolen.Unfortunately, her crime was finally exposed, and the jewelry store filed a complaint against her. She was sentenced to one year and two months in prison, suspended for three years.In other words, her judgment is not much different from Shinsuke's.

Although it was said that Jiang Dao was responsible for the crime, Shinsuke was accused of killing a person, and his crime was the same as stealing 100,000 yuan in jewelry. Although Shinsuke thought he was saved, he also thought that the survivors of the victim could not accept such a verdict after all. But for all traffic accidents, the same situation will only repeat itself again and again!Just like Jiang Dao said, the perpetrators will only think that "I am just unlucky!".Ten thousand people die in traffic accidents a year, which means that there should be a number of perpetrators close to this number. They may breathe a sigh of relief because of the minor crimes and accidents, and completely forget about the disasters they caused.As a result, because of the forgetfulness of the perpetrator, the victim was injured again. Shinsuke suddenly remembered the scene of Reiji Kishizhong coming to "Myoga" that night. At that time, he asked a question, in case something unpleasant happens, how can we forget those things? Try to maintain a happy mood and optimistic thoughts - Shinsuke replied. "For example?" "Like... imagine owning a store or something." "Oh, so. That's your dream." "That's right." Could it be that Rei Kishizhong decided to take revenge at that moment?Maybe he was a little confused at the beginning, so he came to the bar where the perpetrator worked to try it out, but the perpetrator seemed to have completely forgotten the original upset, and said to try to maintain a happy mood and thoughts—how did he at that time What mood do you feel when listening to these words? Kishinaka must have wanted to express the feeling that the victim would never let go of for the rest of his life.The image of him talking intermittently reappeared in Shinsuke's mind. "Actually, there is one thing I want to forget." The guest said. Because the other party suddenly changed to a very serious tone, Shinsuke couldn't help but stop what he was doing and look at him.The guest also looked up at Shinsuke. "Actually, there is one thing I want to forget... No! I want to forget that thing, but I will never forget it, but I want to free myself from it. I was thinking about it, and I was walking down the street in a trance, Just saw the signboard of this store, this store is called 'Minghe', right?" Probably even the name of the store "Minghe" made him sick! After Shinsuke arrived at Shimbashi Station, he checked the number and looked for the locker where Ejima kept his money, and finally found the locker next to the drink vending machine. Shinsuke put the key in the lock and turned it. When he opened the door, his heart beat faster. There was a black leather bag in the locker, and he took it out and looked around for the nearest restroom. After finding the bathroom, he entered the toilet cubicle, then locked the door, his hand trembling as he unzipped the bag. Several bundles of banknotes were scattered in the bag, exuding a unique smell of banknotes.Shinsuke picked up one of the bundles and made a rough check, but he didn't think Enoshima would be so boring as to put counterfeit bills in from the beginning. There were fifty bundles of banknotes, and Shinsuke unconsciously swung his right fist. At 2:30 in the afternoon, Shinsuke returned to the front of the building of his own house.He put the bag of money in the locker again, and the key is now safely in his pocket. Shinsuke thought to himself, it's best to pack up the luggage before the sky turns dark.He had a premonition that Ruriko would come here again after nightfall. He took the elevator upstairs, stood in front of his house, turned the doorknob tremblingly, and tried to pull the door.Sure enough, the door was unlocked as it was this morning. Shinsuke opened the door and looked inside, because the dim light made it difficult for him to see clearly. When he took another step forward, he felt movement behind him. Too bad, it was too late when he thought so. Accompanied by a violent shock, the pain in his head quickly made his consciousness go away.
