Chapter 19: Keiko's Past

"Don't touch him!" Yan Junli slapped away the skeleton's hand and said sharply, "Mingren doesn't say dark words, I'm here to ask you, where is Keiko Nakano now?" ”

The skeleton who heard this was a little surprised, took his hand back, and changed it to a serious expression, "Keiko? What are you looking for her for? ”

"Your wife is suspected of a murder," Yang Wenbin replied on behalf of Yan Junli, "she has been missing for two days, and you don't want the police to issue a wanted warrant because of this." ”

"Impossible." The skeleton sneered, "I'm her husband, I know her best, she can't have anything to do with the murder." ”

"You know her?" Yan Junli raised his eyebrows upward, "But I know you." Mr. Skeleton is active in the stock market, black market, and drug market every day, and there are a large number of subordinate brothers to support, will he have time to take care of his wife? Forget about others, don't fart with me here. ”

The skeleton laughed and paused for a moment before saying, "Good, good...... It's a black cat, no matter how long it takes, it can make me admire it so much. Then I'm sure you know what I mean, my skeleton's territory is not just going in and out casually, and doing things for people casually. ”

"Zhang Yuliang, Jia Yincheng, Feng Feng, Wu Yongcheng," Yan Junli said quietly, "these four people were imprisoned for drug trafficking, and now they have been released on parole because of their good behavior in prison." ”

"Well, it's worthy of the black cat I know, and I know what equivalent exchange is." The skeleton curled the corners of his lips, lit a cigarette, smoked another, and handed it to Yan Junli, but the latter refused. The skeleton didn't care, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly exhaled a smoke ring,

"Black cat, what do you guys want to know?"

"Let's talk about this Japanese woman first." Yan Junli said, "We all want to know about her. ”

The skeleton nodded, and spat out another smoke ring, "You're right, I don't know much about this woman, maybe I'm not much different from you except for her." I met her three years ago, and she appeared in the city out of thin air like a ghost. Except for the fact that she was born in Red Maple Mountain and her ex-husband was a corrupt secretary who was in prison, all of her previous files were completely white. ”

"What?" Yang Wenbin said in surprise, "Didn't you erase her record?" ”

"I wish I had done it." The skeleton sneered, "In this territory, there are only a handful of people who can make me unpredictable, and Keiko is one." It's just that you don't think too much, few people who were born in the small mountains of Hongfeng Mountain in that era have clear files. ”

The skeleton took a drag on her cigarette and continued, "Keiko is a virtuous and gentle woman, and most importantly she is smart, she knows what I'm doing, but she never asks or wonders. In the same way, what she doesn't want me to know, I won't ask, it's a respect between us. She and I met from this area, when I was about to go out to buy goods, when I saw a woman crouching in the corner and crying. She cried very quietly, without any sound at all, just the tears of the bean big fell straight out. ”

I went over and asked her why she was crying. She looked up at me fixedly, and asked me if I had any powder. I was a little surprised, I didn't expect such a dignified woman to take drugs, so I asked her if she could smoke. She told me no, she just wanted to see if the drugs and products were really like what others said, which can make people drunk to death and forget their grief. She refused to tell me why she cried that night, and it was only now that I learned a little bit about this woman's past. The skeleton raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Junli, "I'll say it first, I don't know the truth of this story, I'm just hearsay, whether you believe it or not, it's not my business." ”

Yan Junli nodded.

"Keiko Nakano has an older sister named Hanako. If you're well-informed enough, you should know that she was killed by bizarre means twenty years ago, just like the murder case in Red Maple Garden that you were investigating. I heard that Hanako is a widow, married to the mainland is a second marriage, her husband Du Yong is very bad to her, basically to the point of beating every day, Hanako can only swallow her anger, and even can't sit at the dinner table when eating, she can only squat on the ground like a dog to eat. ”

"How can such a thing happen?" Yang Wenbin whispered.

"In those days, it wasn't surprising that anything was going on in that dilapidated place." The skeleton said unhurriedly, "Just one time when Hanako wanted to run away from home, she was caught by Du Yong, beat people to death, and poured corrosive liquid on her face, buried under the maple leaves on the mountain, and when the body was found, her face was as terrifying as a ghost." ”

"You mean, Hanako Nakano was killed by her husband Du Yong?" Yan Junli asked, "Then where did this Du Yong go later?" ”

"I don't know, Keiko didn't mention this person either, it seems that he hasn't appeared since the Red Maple Mountain tragedy." Skeleton said.

"What about Xie Mingqing?" Yang Wenbin asked, "In Keiko Nakano's story, did she mention this name?" ”

Hearing this, the skeleton furrowed his eyebrows, as if he was carefully recalling, and finally he shook his head, "I don't remember her mentioning it, maybe she did, but I forgot." ”

"By the way, the current Red Maple Garden is Keiko's property alone?" Yan Junli asked.

The skeleton nodded, "I contributed a little money, but the industry was built by Keiko alone, saying that she couldn't go home often, so she would experience the Japanese style on the mainland." She has a secretary surnamed Liu, named Liu Yang, I don't know if you have seen it. ”

Yang Wenbin nodded and said, "I've seen a person who is five big and three thick." ”

"Liu Yang is not my person, since I knew Keiko, he seems to be doing things for Keiko. I don't know how they met, but Liu Yang made a lot of efforts to establish the Red Maple Garden, and Keiko trusted him very much. At this point, the skeleton paused, "But I think this man is far from that simple. He is a low-key person, there is always a way not to make people suspicious, and his identity allows him to do a lot of things, if you want to investigate this case, pay more attention to this person. ”

Yan Junli nodded, indicating that he had received a warning.

"So where is Keiko Nakano now?" Yang Wenbin asked, "I heard Liu Yang say that she went up the mountain to worship, but no one has come back until now. ”

"Sacrifice? No way. Keiko only goes to the festival on the other side and the Obon festival. The skeleton insisted, "If she lied to avoid the limelight, then she should be in the aquarium." From here, go straight south, walk for about 500 meters, you can see the road sign, turn right, you can see the sign of 'Blue Bird Aquarium'. It's an industry in my name, and I don't usually have anyone, so I leave it to her to take care of it. ”
