Chapter 7: Mieko
It can be seen that Mieko is really a filial and kind girl, and she is by no means a worldly person who only looks at the appearance of others, which can be seen from my current situation. I put on myself as an old and ugly old man at the time, and under such conditions, Mieko was able to stand by my side and take care of me all the time.
When she saw me slowly standing up from the corner of the elevator, she immediately stretched out a pair of beautiful white hands to help me. I was so frightened that I stepped back and didn't dare to stretch out my hand, because I couldn't make up my smooth hand skin like an old man, and if I stretched out my hand, Mieko could quickly become suspicious of me, so I retreated to the innermost part of the elevator and put my hands behind my body. Mieko thought I was afraid of strangers, but she took another step closer to me and said lovingly, "Don't be afraid, uncle, I won't hurt you." ”
Of course, I knew she wouldn't hurt me, so I looked at her with a lot of nods.
She approached my side and said with affection: "Uncle, I see that you look a little nervous, your breathing seems to be very short, and sweat is still on your forehead. Do you want me to take you to the hospital for a check-up? ”
Do I need to have my bones checked for such a healthy body? The reason why I was nervous and sweaty was because I was very close to Mieko's body at the time, and I couldn't help but react when I smelled the faint fragrance on her body.
Of course, I didn't dare to tell Mieko, I made an old man's voice, and Ai Ai said, "Old man...... Old man, I'm just ...... It's just that my throat hurts so badly......"
Mieko said: "That old man, how many floors does your house live, or Keiko will send you up." ”
I panicked in my heart, and quickly stuffed my hands behind me into my trouser pockets while no one was looking, and muttered, "Seven...... Seventh floor. ”
After Mieko heard me say that I was on the seventh floor, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she asked softly, "You are Officer Johnson's family?" ”
I was so surprised that I thought to myself, "How did Mieko know that Johnson lived on the seventh floor?" She and Johnson had only only met once in my detective agency's office. "All of a sudden, I felt that things were getting more and more strange.
But now that I couldn't ask her directly, I let out an old voice and shook my head at Mieko, "No, I just have one thing to give him." ”
She smiled at me and said no more.
The elevator quickly rose from the third floor to the seventh floor, and I pretended to be hobbling and slowly walked out of the elevator like a snail.
At this moment, Mieko actually walked out with me, and she ran to me and asked with a smile, "Uncle, do you know Mr. Johnson?" ”
I turned away from her and said softly: "How could I not know Johnson, this little rabbit cub, I am friends with his father in life and death, old man, I have watched him grow up since I was a child." ”
As soon as Mieko heard me say this, she immediately ran behind me again, faced me head-on, and said softly, "That'...... Do you know where Mr. Johnson has gone, old man? ”
I couldn't hold back any longer, and asked excitedly, "You...... How do you know Johnson this ...... This kid is gone? ”
Mieko sighed and said, "I don't know what's wrong with Mr. Johnson, every time she sees me, it's like seeing a ghost, desperately running away, telling me not to follow him...... I really don't understand why he's so afraid of me...... I wanted to get things straight, and yesterday I went to Mr. Johnson's house to look for him, and his wife told me he was gone. Won't be coming back, I've been trying to find a way to find him...... Alas! ”
After listening to Mieko's words, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind at that time. I turned to her and asked, "You said Johnson was like a ghost every time he saw you?" Have you met Johnson more than once? ”
Mieko blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle, your old man must not come to Mr. Johnson's house often, I live opposite Mr. Johnson's house, so I can always run into Mr. Johnson a few times occasionally." ”
As she spoke, she took out her key and drove towards a door across the street from Johnson's house.
I was stunned and didn't come to my senses for a long time.
Mieko opened the door and beckoned to me with a smile: "Uncle, it's nice to meet you, my name is Mieko, if you want, you can come to my house as a guest." ”
I nodded, "Ah, good...... Good. ”
Then I heard a slight closing of the door, and I stared blankly at the tight door of Mieko's house, my heart beating violently. Xin said: "Mieko actually lives opposite Johnson, so can it be assumed that Johnson saw a "female ghost" one night, and that "female ghost" is actually Mieko? "The reason I have this strange guess is because I remember what Johnson said in my office, saying that he saw a beautiful female ghost, and the female ghost he described was exactly what Mieko looked like. What made me doubt the most was Johnson's nervous and scared look when he saw Mieko at that time, and the inexplicable words he said to Mieko. Readers, if you don't remember what Johnson said when she saw Mieko, I can re-quote it.
Johnson faced Mieko at the time, and let out an intermittent miserable voice, "Ghost, you...... Don't bother me anymore...... Please, please, I didn't mean to hurt you...... Please spare me! ”
I didn't feel anything strange about this when I was in the office that day, I just thought that Johnson was meeting Mieko for the first time, and at first glance I suddenly mistook Mieko for a female ghost. But now when I learn from Mieko that Johnson and her are neighbors and have met several times, and Johnson hides and runs away desperately every time he sees her, I have to wonder if Mieko has deliberately pretended to be a "female ghost" to frighten him.
Although I guessed in my heart that Mieko was the so-called "female ghost", but after careful consideration, I felt that it was unreasonable, in my eyes, Mieko was so gentle and kind, why did she deliberately pretend to be a "female ghost" to scare Johnson? And what is there about Mieko's appearance as a ghost that would scare Johnson, who is in his fifties?
Could it be that Mieko is just a beautiful woman on the outside, but in fact she is a femme fatale?
It's all just speculation on my part, without any real evidence, and the most important thing now is to get Johnson's traces out of Johnson's wife and daughter, and ask him why he is so afraid of Mieko.
I hummed and made a miserable sound as I slowly walked to the door of Johnson's house.
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock, Johnson, you kid is not at home, open the door for your old uncle Long. ”
Of course, I knew Johnson was not at home, but I deliberately said this in order to mislead Johnson's wife and daughter into thinking that I was really Johnson's uncle.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, the door opened, and it was the ugly woman who opened the door, she looked me up and down, and after a long time, she said coldly: "Uncle, who are you!" What are you doing with Johnson's animal? ”
I said in a dissatisfied voice: "I am a friend of his father in his hometown, I grew up watching him, where is Johnson, this stinky guy died, tell him to get out and see me!" ”
The ugly woman stood in the doorway, crossed her hands on her hips, and yelled at me, the "old man": "Johnson, that dead old ghost, has run away, he has nothing to do with this family now, and Dina and I don't need him at all." Without him, we can live well as a mother and daughter. ”
