Chapter 15 third chapter

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry...!" The girl apologized frequently. The scene that Liuping secretly wished to see in a corner of his heart finally became a reality.Sayaka, who tearfully begged for forgiveness, is so pitiful that people want to appreciate it forever, but if Liuping keeps admiring it, of course he is just a sadist.So Liuping readily forgives and gives her the barley tea. Then, finally back to the topic. "I'll check on Mr. Kido's house. Not sure if he has anything to do with the beer crate theft, but he's a regular so I'll check on the situation."

"That's it." Ukai drank the remaining beer and threw the empty can into the trash can. "So, is it convenient for me to go together? Don't worry, it won't hinder your chat. Liuping, you come too. It's okay? Anyway, the client missed the appointment today." In this way, Ugai, Liuping and Sayaka Yoshioka walked towards Kido's house on foot.While walking, Ukai took out a piece of paper from his pocket and examined it carefully. Sayaka, who saw this scene, drank the barley tea sent by Liuping, showing a puzzled expression. "Excuse me, what are you looking at...?"

"Well, you're asking this?" Ukai picked up the fax paper and gestured to Sayaka. "This is car navigation, navigation." Most people can't understand his answer. "Well, it looks like we're heading east along Dream Street." "Is that so..." Sayexiang seemed to regret asking the question, her voice suddenly sank. "It turned out to be navigation!..." According to this navigation that gave Sayaka a headache, Mengmeng Street stretches along the river bank, and the alleys of Mengtai and Mengmeng Street intersect at right angles, which is a common unified planning in early emerging residential areas.Looking around here, I found that the houses here are similar, just like side-by-side strands, full of featureless scenery.

At this time, the only open space appeared in front of the three of them.This is the second alley from the Maruyoshi Hotel, and the open space is at the corner of the alley.It seems that it has been abandoned for a long time, and the tall weeds are lush and strong. "No..." Sayexiang squinted at the corner and whispered.She seemed to expect the beer crates to be among the thick weeds. The three of them turned left next to the open space and entered the narrow alley, and then saw a distinctive car parked in front of the third house in the alley. "It's glass." Ukai looked at the building. "The window on the second floor is broken... No, it should be said broken."

In the corner of the second floor, a man in overalls was replacing the window glass.On the other hand, a middle-aged man stood in the yard, looking up at the window replacement project with a sad face.Wearing knee-length pants and a sweatshirt, he appears to be the owner. "This is Mr. Kido Keisuke, who works as a high school teacher." Sayaka told Ukai softly, and then called through the wall: "Mr. Kido, good afternoon... What happened to the windows on the second floor...?" "Ah, Sayaka." Kido Keisuke suddenly relaxed his expression as soon as he recognized Sayaka, and walked to the side of the fence. "It's nothing, it was broken by a drunk last night."

"Wow... that's amazing, can you tell me the details at that time...?" "Who are you by the way? I haven't seen you around." Ukai imitated Sayaka's tone and asked, and Kido Keisuke cast a serious look. "Ah, excuse me, my surname is Ukai. I'm not a suspicious person, but a guest of Maruyoshi Hotel." "Really? It's just a guest of the Maruyoshi Hotel. Why do you want to inquire about my family? Could it be a reporter or a police officer? If so, please go back. I don't want to make this matter a big deal." "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the usual cases of vandalism either."

"What!" Kido Keisuke's expression twisted slightly. "Then what are you interested in..." "Actually, I was looking for the missing beer crate. The beer crate was stolen from the Maruyoshi Hotel." "Stolen beer crates? Sounds more like a common case?" "It's not common, it's an extremely rare and intriguing case. May I ask for your assistance?" No one will obediently help after hearing this statement.But Sayaka sensed that the atmosphere was sinister, and said "Please... I beg you..." cutely folded her hands together, and Kido Keisuke's originally stubborn attitude softened immediately.The middle-aged high school teacher showed a personality that is common to men in an instant.

Kido Keisuke tells Sayaka what happened last night. "It was around three o'clock in the morning. There was a knock on the door suddenly, and a male voice that seemed to be moaning. The volume was so loud that my family and I, who were sleeping on the second floor, woke up. I knew immediately when I heard the sound. It was a drunk man messing around, and he must have mistakenly thought this was his home. I was thinking on the bed whether I should drive him away immediately, or leave it alone until he found out that he had gone to the wrong house. At this moment, there was a sound of glass breaking. Throwing stones at the window. It was the small window of the toilet on the second floor that was broken, and no serious damage was caused, but if the window of the bedroom was broken, my wife and I would be seriously injured.”

"This is really terrible..." Sayexiang looked sympathetic from the bottom of her heart. "So, what happened to that drunk man...?" "Run away. I opened the bedroom window and yelled... 'Hey, what are you doing!' The guy probably got scared and fled down the road to Dream Street. Of course I rushed downstairs to give chase, but I ran By the time I dreamed of the street, I could no longer see the drunk man, and I didn't catch him in the end." "Didn't you call the police...?" "Well. If the police car comes late at night with its siren sounding, it will disturb the peace of the neighbors. Besides, I am not good at dealing with the police, and I don't want to make a big deal out of small things."

"I feel the same way, I'm not good at dealing with the police either." After speaking, Ukai stretched out his right hand to shake hands, but the other party ignored it. "By the way, what does this matter you're talking about have anything to do with the beer-crate theft?" "I don't know! It's just that you think it's related without authorization?" Kido Keisuke yelled and defended. "No, the 'you' I said were the two of you except Sayaka." He inexplicably defended the female high school student he admired. "Anyway, I don't know anything about the beer-crate theft. It must have been some drunken prank."

"Yes, I think so too, that's why I came to inquire about information." After Ukai finished speaking, he looked up at Kido Keisuke's two-storey house again. In short, don't stand and chat, come in for a cup of tea, but of course only Sayaka - Sayaka categorically rejected Kido Keisuke's eccentric kindness, and the three left Kido's house. Ukai took out the map called navigation again, and wrote while walking. First of all, the four alleys extending from Mengmeng Street like a comb are numbered sequentially from the left. "The Maruyoshi Hotel is next to the entrance of the second alley, and Mr. Kido Keisuke's house is the third on the right of the fourth alley... What about Mr. Fujiwara's house? Next to the entrance of the first alley... Ah, is that the house of the house?" Ukai marked the residences of each person on the map, and these are the places mentioned so far.At this time, Liuping suddenly had an idea, he abruptly grabbed the map from Ukai, pointed to a certain place on the map and asked Sayaka. "Is this also a home? What kind of people are the residents?" Liuping pointed to the location of the third house on the ⑶ alley, which was not mentioned at all until now.Sayaka didn't seem to know why he asked, but answered him immediately. "It's Gangan's family there. Mother and daughter depend on each other. The mother's name is Eriko, and Xiaowu's daughter is called Fengcai." "Well, there are only two women living here? It's strange, it shouldn't be like this..." Liuping was dejected for a moment as if his speculation had failed, but he immediately cheered up. "Anyway, go and have a look." He urged the two to move forward quickly. The three entered the alley (3) from Mengmeng Street.Gangan's house is the third room on the right.Looking at this two-storey house with no personality, Liuping couldn't help but relax his cheeks. "Hey, Mr. Ugai, it's exactly as I expected." "Oh, really? Anyway, I can roughly guess what you're thinking." Ukai is not a taste, looking at the small yard from the front of Gangan's house.There is a rough bulldog inside, and next to it is a little girl who is very suitable for carrying a schoolbag. It must be the elementary school student Fengcai that Sayaka mentioned.Fengcai is wearing a yellow T-shirt and denim skirt, her long hair is braided into a beautiful long braid that is rare now. Seeing this scene, Ukai blew a happy whistle rarely. "It's so cute! Little sister, can I touch it?" "..." The hot and humid air in midsummer froze instantly.Ukai felt the cold gaze piercing his body, and quickly said with a twitching smile. "No, no, don't get me wrong, it's a dog I want to pet, not a little girl." "Eh, ah, a dog... it's a dog, so that's what it means..." Liuping heaved a sigh of relief. "That's great...for a moment I thought it was the speech of a super pervert..." Sayaka no longer misunderstood. However, Ukai has not completely got rid of the suspicion of pedophilia.Leveling increases alertness. The primary school student Fengcai didn't know what the adults were thinking, so she ran up to Ukai and asked with an innocent expression: "Uncle, who are you?" For the next few minutes, "We are not uncles, but brothers", "That's right, even if this I can barely be regarded as an uncle, and I am still an elder brother" This kind of regular interaction, in the end Yukai finally got his wish, and got Huai to pat the bulldog's head.Liu Ping asked questions next to him. "Actually, we want to ask little sister Fengcai, who else is there in the family besides little sister Fengcai? Only mother?" "No, and grandpa." Fengcai's response made Liuping confident, and he raised his arms in a victory posture.Sayaka was greatly surprised. "Hey, Fengcai, don't you only live with your mother?" "No, there are three of us now. Doesn't Miss Sayaka know? Grandpa will start living with us this month. But the reason is very complicated, so don't ask now..." "Ah, um, I see, I won't ask! I won't ask, so Fengcai, don't frown!" Elementary school girls who seem carefree at first glance may also be shadowed by complicated family problems in their hearts.Regardless of this matter, the Gang'an family must now be lived by three people, mother, daughter and grandfather.Liuping continued to ask for further evidence. "Where was your grandpa last night? Was he at home all the time?" "No, grandpa went to the busy area in front of the station yesterday, and I didn't come back until I fell asleep." "What is grandpa doing now?" Fengcai replied in a very innocent voice: "I've been sleeping in bed since morning. Grandpa said he was hungover and had a headache that was about to burst!"
