Chapter 9 chapter eight

The officer walked out of the building and toward the station.After confirming that he had left by the window, Qian Zuodu took out his mobile phone from his bag and dialed the number marked "Kimura". "Hello." The call was connected quickly, still with that gloomy voice. "The police are here for my mother-in-law." Qian Zuo didn't give her name, and said straight to the point, "Here comes the old people's home where my mother-in-law lived. It's a criminal policeman named Nakaoka from Azabu North Bureau." "Stop." The other said, "You are in your mother-in-law's room now?"

"yes." "Get out of there immediately and go somewhere else." "why?" "Don't ask, just do as I tell you." Although a bit puzzled, Chisato walked out of the room with the phone in hand.There was a sofa in the elevator, and she sat down there. "I'm out of the room." "Did you take anything from that policeman? A souvenir or something." "He handed over a business card, and I returned it." "Well, that's good. Today's chips can even be implanted in a piece of paper." "What's going on? Why do you have to leave the room?"

"Because that cop might have a bug." "what……" Indeed.Although the detective was with Komori, it didn't mean he didn't have the chance to be alone in the room. "Well, then, what are the police here for?" he asked.There was no wavering in his tone. "He seems to be suspicious of me. My mother-in-law seems to have talked to him, saying that her son might be killed by a young daughter-in-law or something." "Well, yes. So what? Any questions?" "Although there is nothing wrong with it, I think I should report it to you."

The other party hummed. "Suspicion from around, that's already baked in, isn't it? And the possibility of police action. But you don't need to panic. There's nothing to scare you. Am I wrong?" Chizuru pressed the phone to his ear and shook his head. "No, you're quite right." "Right? So, you don't have to do anything special, just do as usual. At the end of the year, I went to the hot springs with my husband, and went into the mountains in search of a scenic waterfall. I just made a small mistake of forgetting to bring the battery for my camera. No one will blame you. No matter how much the Azabu North Police officers sniff, they won’t find any traces, as if they were looking for something that doesn’t exist.”

"I know. I've said it all, just to report to you." "If there's a bug, this report could kill you. If you're not careful, I'm in trouble." "Sorry, I will pay attention to it in the future." "However, I just wanted to contact you. Time to move on to the next step." "...has an implementation date been set?" "It's basically settled. Your job is just to lure that person there. The steps are as before. No problem." "Well, no problem." "I'll get back to you when the time is finalized. Just set your phone to reject calls when you're not alone."

"OK." "Also beware of being followed. The police may watch you for a while. If you show your feet, my plan will show a flaw." "I know. Don't worry. I don't want to lose what I have so hard to get." "Yes. Good-bye, then." "I'll be waiting for your call." Qian Zuodu hung up the phone and put the phone back in his bag.My hands are full of sweat.She gets very nervous every time she talks to him. Am I making a deal with the devil——she suddenly had such a thought.
