Chapter 19 fourth quarter

Hiromi Urano's whereabouts are unknown. Wang Tian pretended to be a policeman and asked magazine reporters. As a result, it was confirmed that Hiromi Urano's last whereabouts stayed until he went camping in Merukawa last Saturday.The outline of the incident, which he learned from gossip and newspapers and magazines, is roughly the same as that described by the girl he was protecting. All sources of intelligence described the details of Hiromi Urano's disappearance, but the girl beside him I don't know anything, and the girl's whereabouts are not unknown... What and what... Weird conjectures gradually germinated, making his thinking fall into a dead end, Wang Tian decided not to think about it any more, he was unwilling to think about it any more.He started to loosen his tie while driving. He used to be afraid of wearing a suit, but now if he wants to gain the trust of others, this style is the most effective. Even in the future, casual shirts should not be upgraded to wearable. The point of going to a funeral.

"Where is Hiromi?" asked the girl beside her. "I just want to know." Wang Tian turned left at the intersection, ready to drive onto the national highway. "She's completely missing." "Didn't find it?" "A mere girl is missing. The police won't search seriously." He turned off the smelly air conditioner and opened the window slightly. "It doesn't matter. I didn't intend to hand it over to the police from the beginning. It's me who is looking for someone." "How to find it?" "Well, of course it's based on inquiries." Wang Tian took out the photo from his breast pocket and handed it to the girl.

"It's Hiromi." The girl stared at the photo carefully and only said these few words in a low voice. The photo was obtained just now with 4% courage and trying to get in touch with Urano Hiromi's family.Hiromi Urano's parents just kept repeating the words "Mr. Police, please find Hiromi as soon as possible" like a turntable with jumping needles. Although it was a bit pitiful, he was not interested in responding. "Where are you going?" The girl's gaze left the photo, and then fixed her gaze on the front again. "Ryoko Horii's home." Wang Tian replied immediately, "I want to inquire about something."

"What's up?" "secret." "Oh." What do the police think about Hiromi Urano's disappearance?She is a cadre of the student union, her homework is good, and she has no bad friends. Although this does not mean that she has a good character, at least there are no negative rumors on the stage.The police must think that she was involved in something, or fell into the river, and maybe she is being included in the search for runaways. The motivation for the girl to run away from home... Except for some small troubles and the relationship between men and women, Wang Tian can't think of other reasons, but Hiromi Urano doesn't seem to have these signs, but sometimes the really troublesome things don't want to be discussed with others, if it is related to men It is more likely not to speak.I don’t understand, that’s right, things ended up in a bottleneck like this, basically it’s impossible to understand a stranger, that’s just thinking you understand, it’s wishful thinking.

"What are you thinking?" He glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye, and he did some research on the girl's background (in fact, it was just news on the same level as a magazine report): Her name is Hayama Rika, Sixteen years old, studying in the second grade of the private Millennium National Academy - that's all that can be confirmed so far. The taxi driven by Wang Tian got off the interchange and entered a narrow alley, but found that it was a one-way street, so he had to take a long detour to find the address. "It's over, go back to where you were just now and turn left to see Yoshiko's house." The girl—Rika Hayama offered a helpful response for the first time.

Finally, I found a log house-style residence with the word "Horii" engraved on the house number.Wang Tian parked the car on a slant between the sidewalk and the one-way street, and couldn't help laughing at his civic-minded approach. "I don't want to go." Rika Hayama glanced at Horii's house and said. "As you please." It's better not to go. "Then you just stay here and wait. Ah, don't get out of the car and walk around." "Please have a cigarette." Rika Hayama looked at him. "No." Wang Tian put on plain glasses, adjusted his hair in front of the mirror, confirmed that he had successfully transformed himself, and then opened the car door. "Children who smoke will have holes in their lungs." After speaking, he got out of the car and was surrounded by the lukewarm wind.Wang Tian put on his tie again, and stood in front of the plain gate of Horii's house. It was just after six o'clock, the sky was glowing red, and the sun was setting.

He took a few deep breaths, but he was actually not nervous. To him, this was a small gesture that symbolized good luck. As long as he took a deep breath beforehand, everything would go smoothly.So when he was young, every time he pulled the trigger, he would take a deep breath, but after all, it was related to his own safety, so now when he was about to shoot, he would deliberately omit this little action.He pressed the bell, and after a while, a voice came from the intercom asking who it was. It sounded like a middle-aged woman, so it must be it. "I'm Tsujimura from the Hokkaido Police Station." Wang Tian lied fluently, that's what his job was all about. "Sorry, about the disappearance of Hiromi Urano—"

"Ah, are you looking for Liangzi? Please wait a moment." The middle-aged woman immediately answered fluently. It seems that the real police have come to the door several times. It is strange to search so seriously. "I'll call her over now, please wait at the entrance." After speaking, he cut off the intercom. Wang Tian waited in the porch according to his words, and saw transparent plastic umbrellas standing scattered in the umbrella tube, while the four pairs of shoes on the ground were neatly arranged, forming a contrast.Then the line of sight fell on the pottery of the Golden Retriever placed on the side. Although it was scaled down, it was lifelike. The dog was lying lazily, making a comfortable posture. The part is a little cracked.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." He looked up, and Ryoko Horii was standing in front of him. There was nothing special about her, her appearance and clothes were very ordinary. "Ah, hello, my surname is Tsujimura." After finishing speaking, Wang Tian quickly lit up the manual.As for why I can only glance at it casually, it is because this manual is not a police manual at all, but a cheap notepad bought in a stationery store. "Uh, may I ask, are you Miss Liangzi?" "Ah, yes." "Sorry for bothering you all the time." He scratched his head deliberately. "Hmm... Although it's troublesome, can you please recount what happened the day Urano Hiromi disappeared."

"Do you want to repeat it again?" Horii Yoshiko questioned, putting her body weight on her right foot, shaking slightly. "Yes, I'm really sorry." The woman really didn't hide her disgusted expression. "Just a simple confirmation of work, uh, I think this should be the last time." "Oh, so where do I start?" "Where... well, I think this part has been asked many times, can you describe the scene where Hiromi Urano disappeared." "Should I tell you again?" Ryoko Horii muttered again, seemingly impatient from the bottom of her heart.

Wang Tian, ​​who turned into a police officer, replied: "I'm sorry to ask you to assist in the investigation." He regretted not taking the opportunity to use public power to show off his prestige. "Hmm..." Ryoko Horii looked at the umbrella tube and began to narrate: "It was Saturday, right? I went to camp at Merukawa with a group of friends—Sister Moriguchi, Hiromi, and Satoka. Then at noon When I’m hungry, I cook curry with Moriguchi-senpai.” "What kind of curry?" "You want to ask even this?" Horii Ryoko widened her eyes. "in case the emergency." "When camping, I usually make the most common curry." The atmosphere of the conversation between the two improved slightly. "I see, it's of ordinary taste..." Wang Tian took a pen and doodled on the manual, drawing a cartoon character he liked when he was in the second grade of elementary school. "Ah, please go ahead." "Sister Moriguchi and I were making curry, but Satoka couldn't cook, so she said she was going to see the river, and then went downstream by herself. Satoka, she even put the curry cubes in the pot Said it couldn't be done." "That's really serious, by the way, where's Hiromi Urano?" "Hiromi...about ten minutes later, she said she was going to find Li Xiang, so she ran to the downstream." "Is this where you and Hiroe Moriguchi last saw Hiromi Urano?" "Yes." Yoshiko Horinami nodded gently, touching the back of her neck. "Then the curry was cooked, and I was about to call the two of them, when I saw Lixiang running back by herself, dripping wet." "what?" "She's wet all over. You've heard this several times, right?" "En." Wang Tian nodded to hide his strange thoughts. "Then what happened to Hayama Rika?" "Uh...we were all taken aback and asked her what happened, but Lixiang used her usual tone and said that she accidentally fell into the river. Because she was completely soaked, we said it was okay Dangerous, while drying her hair and putting her into dry clothes—” "Ah, I'm sorry to interrupt." Wang Tian interjected, "Do you remember the clothes that Rixiang Hayama wore at that time?" "Clothes?" Horii Yoshiko narrowed her eyes. "Remember?" he asked again. "Clothes..." Ryoko Horii's eyes returned to the default size, and then lifted to the upper right. "If I remember correctly, it should be a purple dress. She likes that one very much. Any questions?" Purple dress——Hayama Rika said the same thing.But Rika Hayama was naked when she was found, so... who was wearing that dress? "And what about Hiromi Urano?" Wang Tian asked. "Well... After Lixiang's hair dries and changes her clothes, we will ask her what's wrong with Hiromi." Ryoko Horii pursed her lips, as if expressing her dissatisfaction. "In the end, Lixiang said that she didn't see Hiromi, so we told her that Hiromi went downstream, but she still said that she didn't see anyone. Later, we all went downstream to look for Hiromi, but we couldn't find any..." "Rika Hayama said she didn't see Hiromi Urano? Are you sure?" "Well, it's true. If you doubt it, you can ask Moriguchi-senpai." He had to doubt it, because it was completely contrary to what Wang Tian knew about Hayama Rika.So... which side is lying? "Uh, although I have said it several times, this is the whole story, and we immediately called the police." Horii Ryoko suddenly said quickly: "I don't know anything other than that, what other people said It must be the same as me, no matter how many times you ask." "What do you think?" Wang Tian was very satisfied with the completion of the characters he drew in the handbook. "About the disappearance of Hiromi Urano." "Well..." Yoshiko Horii tilted her head and thought, "I don't think it's not running away from home, most people wouldn't choose to run away from home in that kind of place, right?" "Do you think it should have fallen into the river anyway?" "Be generous." Her expression was very impatient: "But this should be something you should investigate carefully, right?" "Yes, of course." Although the answer was so in his mouth, the police didn't even find Hayama Rika floating in the mouth of the Muru River. The so-called search was really unimaginable. "Then assuming she ran away from home... do you have any clues? For example, did Hiromi Urano have any troubles, or was she involved in any incident?" "I don't have any clue." She didn't look like she was lying, she probably didn't know anything, forget it, she didn't expect anything at all. "That's it, okay—" Wang Tian closed the manual. "I got a lot of clues, thank you very much." After finishing speaking, he bowed his head: "Then I will leave." "No." "Ah, one last point—" I almost forgot. "Hayama Rika and Urano Hiromi, are the two of you on good terms?" "Well... not bad. They seem to have hung out together once." "So, besides Urano Hiromi, does she have any other better friends?" "Well... Lixiang is a weirdo, she doesn't have many friends." "Also, this dog—" Wang Tian pointed to the golden retriever made of clay: "There is a crack on its forehead." "Ah? Uh..." Yoshiko Horii showed a surprised expression, and within a few seconds, she became impatient again: "It's the dog at home." "Hey, do you have real dogs?" "This decoration was given to my father by someone else." "It's really advanced, what about this crack?" "Because people in the family only pay attention to the decorations, the puppy felt jealous and made it out." "Thank you for explaining." Wang Tian walked out of the entrance. Loosening his tie and sitting in the driver's seat, Rika Hayama next to him remained silent, his eyes still motionless. "Your favorite purple dress seems to be fine." Wang Tian said jokingly. "Really." Hayama Lixiang whispered: "Who is wearing it?" Some flat eyes shot at Wang Tian, ​​it seemed that he was squinting at others, it should be just Wang Tian's own illusion. "What do you mean?" Wang Tian pretended to be calm. "You know it." Rika Hayama said in a cold voice, "The one wearing that dress now is another me." "Do you want to visit your house?" "don't want--" "Why?" Wang Tian started the car. "Are you just letting the guy who replaced you go like this? Doesn't it matter if you don't get back your identity?"
