Chapter 6 Chapter Five The Secret of Young Henry

The girl was startled and stood still, showing a slightly panicked expression on her face, but then calmed down: "I heard that you have been looking for Henry?" I nodded: "Yes, who told you?" The girl said: "Henry's friend, but they don't know a secret, I am Henry's best friend." There was a sudden movement in my heart, Henry and this girl were about the same age, between boys and girls of this age, if they were "best friends", there would be no secret! I immediately said: "It seems that you have some news for me about Henry?"

The girl bit her lower lip and nodded. I saw that the sky was getting dark: "Then, I can treat you to dinner and talk slowly!" The girl happily said: "That's great! I've always wanted to sit in Mai's old shop and eat their roasted lamb leg with honey sauce!" I laughed: "Okay, let's go to Mai's old shop to eat their roasted lamb leg with honey sauce!" The honey-roasted lamb leg from Mai's old shop is indeed extremely delicious, but more importantly, I got an extremely important clue from Lila (the girl's name). Lila told me: "Before he left, Henry came to me and told me many secrets. He said he was going far away and told me not to tell anyone!"

I looked at her: "Tell me it's okay, I won't say it!" Lila nodded: "Henry said that he knew a man who had a lot of money and was willing to buy back some of his lost things, but Henry refused to sell them!" I was a little surprised: "Why! Henry doesn't want money?" Lila said solemnly: "No, Henry saw that the man was very anxious to get the thing back. He said that he could force the man to pay a higher price, and the man agreed, and took him to get the money! Henry took the bag back Put it in a friend's house! Henry said that he could get tens of thousands of yuan, and at that time, I could come here to eat roast leg of lamb every day!"

I sighed, feeling sorry for Henry. Lila said again: "Henry also told me that it was a large package of films, and a piece of paper with many lines drawn on it──" I was taken aback suddenly. I got that piece of paper in the desk drawer of Henry’s house. I never thought this piece of paper was of any importance, and I didn’t expect it to be useful! Lila looked at me and continued: "Henry said that he also saw that the man was difficult to deal with, and he said that if he had any accident—" My heart sank, and I wanted to tell her that Henry was dead, but I held back the words.

Lila said: "Henry said that he had overheard the man calling. He has a phone number. If he has an accident, he can use this phone number to find the person who caused him!" My heart couldn't help beating wildly, what an important clue this is! I looked at Lila, but Lila said again: "However, I promised Henry that I would not tell anyone about these things!" I took a breath: "You should tell me!" Lila was eating dessert and lowered her head. I saw her eyelashes beating. She was obviously blinking constantly, so she asked, "Why, did Henry have an accident?"

I found it hard to tell Lila that Henry was dead, so I kept quiet. Lila still bowed her head: "Henry promised me that no matter where he goes or under what circumstances, he will call me, but until now, he still has no news, I think he must have Surprised, isn't it?" After saying this, Lila raised her head and looked at me. It wasn't until this moment that I realized that this little girl is really a very intelligent and brave little girl. I nodded and said nothing. Lila immediately showed a wry smile: "I know, Henry did have an accident, so I should keep my promise and tell the police this phone number!"

I said: "You can tell me that although I have no direct relationship with the police here, I am doing my best to investigate the cause of Henry's death, please believe me!" Lila nodded, dipped her fingers in water, quickly wrote a number on the table, and immediately wiped it off with her palm. She was quick, but enough for me to jot down the number.I stood up immediately, Lila lowered her head, but she was not eating dessert, but crying! For a child of Lila's age, if she has feelings, they should be the most sincere feelings, so I felt very sad when I saw it. I pressed Lila's shoulder and wanted to say a few words to comfort her.

But Lila spoke first: "Don't comfort me, I already knew this would happen. Henry wants people to pay him such a high price, I already knew this would happen!" I heard her say that, so naturally I couldn't say anything more, I paid the bill, told her that if there was anything to come to me, I was at the hotel, and then, I left the Mai's old shop alone. At this time, I was extremely excited, because I got an extremely important clue. Although, that is just a phone number, but a phone number can reveal too many things! When I walked forward in a hurry and passed a telephone booth, I stopped and wanted to try to make a call based on this number.However, I was afraid that if this love came, I would startle the snake, so I had better find out the location of the phone first, and go to the door by myself!

I went back to the hotel and tried to check with the phone company, but the phone company wouldn't answer my question, and I knew I had to wait for Baker to come back.When it was time for me to contact Bai Ke on the phone, I said to Bai Ke: "Come back immediately, I already have important clues." To my surprise, Bai Ke also said: "I also have an important clue, you wait for me at the hotel!" I wanted to ask him what clue he got, but he had hung up the phone, so I had to wait in the hotel. Two hours later, Bai Ke was already in my room! As soon as he saw me, he handed me a piece of paper. It was a copy of a small aircraft company's air rental bill. It said that the person who rented the plane was a Mr. John.

Bai Ke said excitedly: "Based on the time and the description of the aircraft company, this Mr. John is the mysterious man we are looking for. Look, there is his address on it." I took a look, shook my head and said, "Bai Ke, if I were this mysterious gentleman, and I rented a plane with the purpose of killing people, I would never leave my real name and address!" Bai Ke said: "I have thought about this too, but this is the only clue we can get." I said: "My clues may be more useful." I told Baker how I knew Lila, and Baker's eyes sparkled as he listened.

When I finished speaking, he called out: "Come on, let's go to the telephone company and find out the address of this number!" He and I left the hotel immediately, and we went to the telephone company together. With Baike's ID, things went smoothly, but when we saw the registered name and address of this phone number, both of us couldn't help being surprised Eyes wide open. The registered name and address were clearly written. What surprised me the most was the name, which was the name of a Japanese: "Tanaka Shoichi"! Bai Ke and I looked at each other. For a while, we really didn't know what to say. After a while, Bai Ke said, "Wei, you came here because Dr. Masaichi Tanaka invited you?" I smiled wryly: "He suggested to the Science Association to invite me, I really don't understand──" Bai Ke also frowned, he didn't say anything, and we walked out together. At this time, it was drizzling outside, and we walked along the street for a while, before Bai Ke said: "If the matter has something to do with him, then he It may have been done on purpose." I raised my eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?" Bai Ke said: "He underestimated your ability, he thought you wouldn't find out anything, and as the person who took the initiative to invite you to come, of course he will never be suspected!" I nodded. What Bai Ke said made sense. I said, "What we have to do now is, you go to collect information on Dr. Tanaka, and I will go to his house to meet him." Bai Ke said: "If he is related to this matter, he is an extremely dangerous person, and you alone—" I said: "I have to go alone, your status is special, and I am his friend. If your estimation is correct and he underestimates my ability, then he will definitely not guard against me, and I can get more You can call me after you get his information." Bai Ke hesitated for a moment before shaking hands with me. We parted hands. I hailed a street car and drove straight to Masaichi Tanaka's residence. At that time, it was already close to dusk, and I rang the bell in front of the door, and the rain became heavier. After a while, a housekeeper came to open the door, and I said, "Is Dr. Tanaka there? I'm his friend, Wesley." The housekeeper didn't seem to be very talkative, she turned her face with a long face and shouted loudly: "Doctor, someone is looking for you, and his name is Wesley." Following the yelling of the housekeeper, I saw Tanaka in a kimono coming out with a pipe in his mouth. When Dr. Tanaka saw me, he seemed very surprised. He said "Hey", "Didn't you leave already?" I laughed and said, "Since you saw me again, it means that I stayed and did not leave!" Dr. Tanaka didn't ask me why I stayed, he just opened his hand as a sign of welcome: "Come, please come in and sit!" The housekeeper looked at me with big eyes as if she still didn't want me to go in. I felt a little strange in my heart, but I didn't care, so I went in. Tanaka Masaichi led me into his study, and we sat down Coming down, Tanaka shook his hand and said, "Why, how long do you want to stay?" I looked at his study room, but I couldn't see anything unusual, so I just said in passing: "Not necessarily." Dr. Tanaka leaned forward: "Is there something wrong here? Can I help you?" I smiled: "It's not because of Dr. Connors' death, I'm always a little bit unwilling to give up." Dr. Tanaka didn't express anything special, and I said again: "Although there is no doubt that he committed suicide, why did someone keep following him in the past year?" Tanaka frowned: "It's too difficult to explain!" I stared at Tanaka Masaichi: "I think there is a major conspiracy in it." Tanaka smiled "hehe", he seemed to be laughing at my rich imagination, but, in my opinion, he was more like trying to use his dry laughter to cover up his inner panic. I said again: "We have launched various investigations, and we have obtained certain information about these conspiracies!" As I said that, I was paying attention to Tanaka Masaichi's reaction. I saw his fingers twisted together. Usually, only people who are nervous will have such small movements.I deliberately pretended to be nonchalant: "Also, we already know that poor Henry, the kid who discovered those movies and handed them over to Professor An Qiaojia, is dead!" Tanaka was shocked. I concluded that the reason why he was shocked was definitely not because he heard the news of Henry's death, but because I already knew the news of Henry's death. If Masaichi Tanaka is related to Henry's death, then the murderer arranged so meticulously that Henry has become a charred corpse thousands of miles away. If the murderer thinks about it, this matter should be unnoticed. , suddenly said out of my mouth, how could the murderer or the person related to the murder not be greatly shocked?Tanaka Masaichi's surprised reaction is naturally very normal! After being shocked, Tanaka lost his voice: "Henry is dead? Who would murder a child?" I straightened up abruptly, and said, "Dr. Tanaka, I just said that Henry is dead. How do you know he was murdered?" I immediately asked, if Tanaka Masaichi had something to do with Henry's death, then he would be at a loss in an instant. This is one of the ways in many detective novels to make the murderer confess. However, after Tian Zhongzheng heard what I said, he was just stunned for a while, and said naturally: "You said it was a conspiracy. Of course, there were crimes involved, so I thought Henry was killed!" His explanation like that can naturally be justified. However, I came to the door because I had a clue a long time ago. Naturally, I would not believe him so easily. There was a mysterious man who appeared at his house, and later, Connors went out with him again, and this mysterious man has never appeared since then." Tanaka seemed very disturbed, he changed his sitting posture: "I know that, you also showed me the portrait of that mysterious man!" I said: "That's good, this mysterious man, I'm sure, he is the murderer who murdered Henry!" Tanaka opened his mouth wide, and let out a very low exclamation sound. Immediately, I leaned forward again and looked directly at him: "Who is this mysterious man?" After hearing my sudden question, Dr. Tanaka must have an unusual reaction. I had already expected this, but his reaction was so strong, which was beyond my expectation! We were sitting face to face. When I uttered that question, in order to shock him, I leaned forward and got very close to him. As soon as I said this, I saw Tanaka Yi's face became extremely pale in an instant. While I was waiting for his next reaction, he suddenly let out a strange cry, and turned his palm up abruptly. When I saw his palm turned up, the shape of his fingers was an authentic karate move, it was already too late. Shoichi Tanaka is a high-level intellectual, although I know he will have an abnormal reaction after listening to my words, but generally speaking, there is no connection between karate and a doctor. So I didn't expect him to make a move at all, and his move was so fast.It was only then that I saw clearly that his palm had already been cut on my neck. It was a very heavy blow, moreover, it was hitting the vital point of my neck. In an instant, I felt my world was spinning, gold stars shot out in front of me, and my body turned backwards abruptly. As I rolled backwards, I fell together with the chair I was sitting on, and the blow was so severe that it was impossible for me to even struggle to get up after the fall. But Tanaka Masaichi stood up immediately, and then, my head was stomped heavily again! That blow almost made me faint immediately, but after all, I am a person who has received strict martial arts training. Although the two heavy blows in succession made my situation so bad, in such a situation, My counterattack was very weak, I just reached out my hand abruptly, and the moment his foot left my head, I pulled a pull on his calf.
