Chapter 33 Section IX

Night fell completely. No one said anything.Only the footsteps of five people echoed in the deserted alley. What did Mahiro and Yahiro think about what Huokou said just now?The two of them haven't said a word since then.Wu Ze could only remain silent. They understand.The two of them, after listening to those short words, even if they didn't think that the murderer who killed their mother was Wu Ze, at least——Wu Ze had done money collection work in a loan shark organization in the past and caused one person to commit suicide. I can't hide it anymore. Wu Ze looked forward to what the two of them could say.whatever.However, whether it is true search or eight search.Just keep silent and move on.

Overhead, the hazy spring moon painted the surrounding sky pale. Looking up at the crescent moon, Zhenxun suddenly stopped.Her face was bathed in moonlight, and she finally looked at her sister standing beside her.Feeling his sister's gaze, Baxun slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.Then, both of them— Turn to Wu Ze. "We already knew that." It was Mahiro who spoke first. "I already knew that Lao Wu made my mother commit suicide." The surrounding scenery disappeared.Only the faces of Mahiro and Yahiro remained.The two had gentle smiles on their faces.

"I also know that you have been sending us money. Although thank you is hard to say, at least we understand Lao Wu's mood." I don't know what to say.Because he didn't know what to say, Wu Ze could only close his lips tightly, and there was a slight sound of a car engine coming from the direction of the main road. "...Since when?" The only thing that finally came out was this short sentence. "When Lao Wu and Lao Tie were talking, I heard it. Here, it is in the kitchen. At night, you two drink, right? At that time, I just wanted to talk to Lao Wu, so I went downstairs secretly. Then listen When two people talk—"

Wu Ze immediately remembered.The Japanese wine bottle was placed in the middle, and Lao Tie and he sat on the ground.The night when Wu Ze revealed the relationship between Zhenxun, Baxun and himself.Have those words been heard by Zhenxun? "Surprise, I—" "I'm not too surprised." Shinzo's answer surprised Wu Ze a little. "I just thought, sure enough." "really?" "I just said that, I have something to say to Lao Wu, so I went downstairs, right? This is what I want to talk about." Really looking for, did she realize it?How did you realize it?

"In Kantaro's anagram game, Lao Wu wrote the word 'Pulsatilla' ('Pulsatilla' in Japanese is written as 'ムタドリ', and 'Dream' is 'ドリーム'), right? I just happened to see that Page. The other spaces are all written by Kantaro. As for this place, the characters are different, and they are somewhat similar to the characters written on the envelopes that have been sending money over. I feel that, so I am a little strange, and I happen to have a letter at hand. , I compared it, and it was really similar. You see, the place we live in is called 'Dream Adachi', right? ド, リ, ム, these words are very similar. So I asked Kantaro , who wrote the word 'Pulsatilla'—right?"

"Ah, yes." Kantaro seemed a little confused about the situation. "Kantaro said it was written by Wu. In this way, I have figured out many things. In Ueno Park, when I heard that I was about to be kicked out of the apartment, why did I move to live in my own house; Yes, why did you ask me, what would happen if I met the person who forced my mother to commit suicide, etc., and when my sister and Kantaro moved in behind me, why did you explain to Lao Tie that we were all taken in ,Etc., etc." Zhenxun smiled lightly. "I know what Lao Wu did in the past, but I don't know what will happen to me. Maybe I want to kill you, I think. If I see you put on a hypocritical and kind attitude, maybe I will curse you You, rushing to hit you - thinking that I will do this, I am also uneasy. In a word, it is better not to see Lao Wu, I think. It is better not to stay together. So, at that time, I proposed to move out .”

—I think I'm about to move from here. In this way, Zhenxun suddenly said that, just the next morning after Wu Ze had a drink with Lao Tie in the dark kitchen.But halfway through the talk, a tidier appeared outside the window, so the conversation stopped.Then that evening when the backyard was set on fire, the situation suddenly changed—and then it took a sharp turn for the worse. "Then... until now, what did you think, when you were with me?" Wu Ze felt very disgusted with himself who could only ask such boring questions.But Mahiro answered frankly. "I believed in the conclusions I came to. I thought desperately by myself, and thought and thought... Finally, I figured it out."

Shinzo looked straight at Wu Ze. "I don't hate Lao Wu now—this is the conclusion. The object of my hatred is not Lao Wu. Lao Wu is not a bad person. The bad ones are those guys in the loan shark organization who ordered Lao Wu and made Lao Wu do cruel work. I like this Tell yourself. Our mother was forced to commit suicide by loan sharks. Lao Wu was just forced to do hard work by the same group of people at the same time. I think about it separately. In this way, it will gradually become true. You can think so. So I told my sister. I told my sister everything about Lao Wu and the conclusion I drew. My sister was very surprised at first, but finally accepted my idea. It must be because That's the right conclusion to make."

Wu Ze couldn't say anything. "But at this point, I suddenly started to care about money again." "Money means—" "Here, the money from Lao Wu. I've been thinking about throwing it away, but I've never been willing to throw it away... It's like carrying a heavy burden." Hachiro next to him nodded.Shinhiro continued, "That burden is getting heavier—because the money is nothing but linking Takeshi to Mom's suicide." Maybe it is. Zhenxun changed his tone and faced Wu Ze with a cheerful look. "So this battle, for me and my sister, is killing three birds with one stone. For the loan shark, it is to avenge the death of mother and cockscomb; if all Lao Wu's money is disposed of in the battle, the heavy burden will also be It’s gone; you see, it’s like an exchange, exchanging the money you have with usable money. Well... although it didn’t work out in the end.”

There was no regret on Zhen Xun's face.It seemed as if something had been blown away, and it seemed as if some agreement had been signed.The expression is very relaxed. "Old Wu also concealed the truth from us, and we also concealed it——right, sister?" Really looking for my sister.Ba Xun nodded and said, "Old Wu lied to us, and we are also old Wu." It's almost as if the two are saying "each other".Those words pierced Wu Ze's heart sharply, and he was obviously the one who should never forgive.The weight of what I have done in the past and the small things that the two of them concealed is obviously completely out of proportion.For some reason, in Wu Ze's eyes, the faces of the two of them seemed to have changed into that of Sha Dai.It seemed that when he came home from the outside, when he entered the entrance, Sadai ran happily from the room and told him about the school and the books he had read.

What should I do?How should I answer?Wu Ze could only stare blankly at the gradually blurred faces of the two people in front of him. "Ah, Lao Wu." Lao Tie suddenly called out, "I think of something good, do you want to hear it?" "……what?" "Operation Albatross, how about changing the last part now?" "……change?" "You see, isn't it strange that such a grand plan failed to get money in the end? At least I think so, isn't it?" Wu Ze understood what Lao Tie meant. I'm talking about that.To get that. "Money..." Quickly swept around.Really looking.Eight search.Kantaro. Judging from their expressions, the three of them should have understood.Opponents - it seems there are none. "Do you accept it?" It's really funny. "Thanks for the kindness." Baxun also said. "Then can I have a share too?" Kantaro asked the two of them. "Of course it is equally divided." The two replied in unison. "Then let's divide!" When Lao Tie gave an order, the five people turned right at the same time and ran back to the alley at night.Rectangular windows passed by, and the sound of pattering footsteps echoed on the walls of the building.Finally, the two-story building appeared in front of him.They rushed into the foyer of the small building in a group, and then went straight to the stairs.Five people scrambled to the roof, where the white paper bag was still there.The old iron was the first to grab it and shouted happily: "The battle is over!" He opened the bag on his chest and showed Wu Ze and the others what was inside.Many ten thousand dollar bills.That was the rest of the money that Mahiro and Hahiro packed in their travel bags.Although it is the remainder, it is not a small amount.In any case, the operation did not cost much money. "Those guys are at a loss." Old Tie looked up at the corridor on the tenth floor. "Yeah, I didn't expect real money to be put in here." Of course, the paper bag will not be full of cash.About twenty or so bundles are mostly blank papers, only the upper and lower ones are genuine.A lot of loose banknotes were thrown on top of the paper bundle.The money here is not a small amount.The money that should have been snatched from the firm's safe was about 20 million, and although the money here is not that much, it is at least more than 2 million. What Wu Ze and the others are worried about is that if the enemy comes to the roof here after the exchange of Shinhiro and Yahiro, and wants to see the contents of the bag, it will be difficult to handle if the stuff is exposed at that time, so they made such a thing.Of course, it was Mahiro and Yahiro who made this point.They had made up their minds a long time ago that they would spend all their money in this battle, so they proposed to spend the remaining money in this way.No one objected to this proposal.It is a pity to throw money away for nothing, but in any case, this paper bag is like a safety rope in battle, and it is the greatest guarantee of success. "The money is divided into five parts, which can be used as the start-up capital of each of them. Ah yes, since it is divided equally, Lao Wu will also take it." "I?" What Zhenxun said made Lao Wu flinch. "No, if you don't take it." Baxun patted Wu Ze on the back. "Because it was a battle involving five people." There was a smile in his voice, but his eyes were serious.Wu Ze was wondering why the two wanted to share a portion of the money themselves.Think about it, this is not a rash opinion, but a sincere decision between the two. "--I see." It seems that he has been waiting for Wu Ze's answer.Lao Tie yelled in a low voice: "Retreat!" I don't know if the clouds had dispersed, but the roof suddenly became bright, and the shadow of the moon slowly flowed around the five people. I will never forget this scene, Wu Ze thought. So, the battle is over.
