Chapter 52: Fear

"Alas, it's not me, it's the request from above, and it's very difficult for me to do it. Takasaki's pretended innocent remarks made Su Meng feel sick to his stomach, and he didn't argue with the other party anymore but angrily hung up the phone. He looked at Song Qingzhi, who was still unconscious in the back seat, and his eyes were full of anger.

Mu Xiang drank heavily all day long, and always looked like a sluggish person. Even a long line of black sedants parked at the entrance of the store didn't attract the slightest attention from her. The Scarface man walked into the store and pulled the bar seats open, and Su Meng sat inside.

"Don't be out of business today, get out. ”

Mu Xiang whispered.

"I'm here to ask you something. Have the people from Zhijiang come looking for you?"

"With so many people coming and going every day, how can I remember who it is. Mu Xiang replied impatiently.

"A year ago, these men didn't visit your shop for a while. ”

Su Meng pulled out the photo of the phone, and in the center of the picture was a middle-aged man wearing glasses with dense red blood on his face. Mu Xiang recognized him, and his fingers touched the flower pattern on the glass and was silent.

"Every day, I will leave until the morning, and I will always be light and flattering to you. You had just left the marriage at the time, so how many times did you make an appointment?"

“…… Right. Mu Xiang grabbed her arm uneasily, nodded a little embarrassedly, and Su Meng laughed lightly,

"It's all stupid, Akio? Let him come out, I'll ask him. ”

Su Meng's people found Akio at a small steel bead shop next to a massage parlor, and he was punched in the face before he could open his mouth. Seeing such a disturbance, the surrounding people hurriedly retreated, and Akio's nose was beaten out with blood again, and he wiped a handful of loud shouts,

"What the hell are you doing!!The bridge of the nose is a soft bone, and it's easy to break!Damn, you're bleeding again!!"

As soon as the words fell, he was punched again. The man crashed into the bullet box with a loud bang. Zhao Fu was a little unconscious when he hit this time, and Su Meng asked someone to drag him into the car and take him away.

When Song Qingzhi woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed, and outside the window was the familiar Tokyo Tower. He returned to Tokyo and was brought back by Su Meng. This time, everything was taken away, mobile phones, guns, money folders, everything was collected by Su Meng, and there was nowhere to find it. His head was still a little dazed, and when he sat up and heard a noise in the outhouse, he hurriedly went out to check, but saw Su Meng taking wine from the refrigerator.

"What's the drink?"

Su Meng asked him softly, her tone calm and gentle.

"Water, you can ......"

Song Qingzhi's throat was a little dry, and his voice was also a little hissed. Su Meng put the wine aside, took out another bottle of soda water from the refrigerator and shipped it. Song Qing single-handedly opened the can and poured most of the bottle on his back.

"Why don't you listen to me?"

"Takasaki is your man?"

The two questioned each other, and neither of them was willing to back down.

When Keiko got home, she locked herself in her bedroom and slept all day. It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that she woke up and walked out of the room realizing that she had returned home, and that the aisle was littered with pencils, toys, and comic books, the work of her three-year-old brother. Mom was cooking curry downstairs, and Dad was watching TV in the living room as usual. Everything is as usual, but Keiko suddenly became unaccustomed to such a life, everything in Sharo was chaotic, strange, dark, but also exciting, and what made her excited, she was no longer too used to being so dull.

My father heard her go down the stairs and said to her,

"The teacher came to visit home yesterday, and you're not here, busy man. ”

"......" Keiko was a little embarrassed, and her mother played a round for her.

"Don't you say she went to a friend's house to learn. ”

"Oh, I just asked, I didn't mean anything else. The father replied with a smile and went from the living room to the kitchen, "Ah, wife, you made fried chickens?

"Don't steal it! That's a meal for Keiko! Oops, I said don't ......."

The mother said and slapped her father's hand, and suddenly heard a burst of sobbing, and the two of them hurriedly turned their heads to look, and found Keiko standing on the stairs, sobbing in a low voice, and then turned into a howl.

"What's wrong? Keiko, what's wrong with you?"

The mother threw down the chopsticks, and before she had time to untie her skirt, she hurriedly passed by, and the father hurriedly rummaged through the paper towel for Keiko.

"Why am I your daughter...... I'm so unbearable......"

Keiko sobbed silently, but her parents didn't understand what it meant.

"Mom, I'm so unbearable...... She's so sensible, she's so good, and the snacks are delicious, and she's beautiful, and her homework is good!

Keiko vented nowhere, and the pain of nowhere to complain poured out like a flood. Her parents and young brother had no idea what she was going through, so they had to surround her, and the younger brother shoved his toy digging cart into her hand and looked at her with big eyes.

After the meal, the family sat together and talked for a long time, and her parents blamed themselves for being bullied at school because they were busy with work, and were about to apologize to her, Keiko smiled and shook her hands,

"I beat it back, and I don't eat it. ”

"Does this child Sharo still have no sound at all? Her father is the one named Akio, right? I seem to know you very well. ”

"Well, I'm a junior high school classmate, and I used to be in charge of shipping. Keiko's father nodded. However, when he later moved back to Kyoto, he became a drunkard, and the other party was seriously injured and hospitalized, but there was no way to get rid of him. ”

"Even though you're an adult, are you still so naïve? I don't want to think about having a wife and children...... So casually because of the beating and losing the job, what to do at home?"

“…… After the earthquake information bulletin was completed, a news item was now inserted, and at 17:47 p.m. in the women's bathroom of the Nishichao Duck Station, a young female deceased was found, and the forensic doctor estimated the time of death at about 13 p.m. ......"

The news anchor on the television read the news release calmly, and the family stopped talking, listening quietly to the news report. Images of police officers being interviewed appeared on television.

"The killer was brutal, and the facial features of the deceased were completely destroyed and could not be recognized. We were able to conduct an investigation of the deceased's remains, and preliminarily determined that it was a junior high school ...... that had been reported missing from Akita Prefecture a year ago."

Keiko sat still, too scared to speak, because she saw Takasaki in the picture.

After eating the evening meal with strong fear, she hurriedly hid back in the room, trembling and rummaging out of the bookbag, a small key opened the bottom drawer of the suitcase, and turned out the gift box that Sharo had given her before, and carefully opened it, and found that it was indeed a key from the storage cabinet of the electric car station.

She also carefully examined the metal inscription on the back of the key, and under the lamp there was a clear lettering—JR-Tokyo-A2Z13, which was the number of the locker.

There was also a letter in the words of Sharo.
