Chapter 424: That guy is not human

"Not really", his girlfriend's eyes widened in surprise: "Every time we shoot, I don't know how many people surround and talk, and their words of flattery are strange, you won't be haunted and angry because of this ordinary conversation, right?" ”

"Do you think it's ordinary?" Mizusawa closed his eyes and recalled, "I also felt ordinary when I passed by...... Well, I admit that I had a feeling of excitement at the time, I left him a business card, but he didn't contact me. When I got on the subway and went home, I remembered his warm smile, and it was just a smile.

But after that, I dreamed every night that he was smiling at me, and gradually, I wanted to see that smile again, and my heart ached and I couldn't sleep. So I came, and I met him again in that little noodle shop...... Yes, dieting is the main thing in our business, sometimes I only eat one apple all day, but in order to see him, I eat three bowls of noodles in a row.

I saw it, I saw his smile again, you don't know, how warm I felt at that moment, I kept laughing, I kept eating, I don't remember what I said, I don't remember what he said, I just remember that night I came home alone, I felt very lonely, very cold. So I missed, and I couldn't breathe, and I wanted to run to him, snuggle up to him, and sing a Hokkaido minor...... I feel like I'm crazy. ”

Mizusawa burst into tears when she opened her eyes, and her girlfriend couldn't help but stretch out her soft hand and help her wipe her tears while comforting: "Okay, okay, let's look for him again...... Are you sure he lives upstairs? Why don't we go to the small noodle restaurant and ask? ”

In the small noodle restaurant, the proprietress saw Mizusawa reappearing, and while happily wiping her hands with her apron, she asked, "Have you found Mr. Sato?" ”

Mizusawa shook her head, and her girlfriend immediately asked, "Boss, are you sure that Mr. Sato lives upstairs?" ”

"Of course, Mr. Sato came out of the building several times and came straight to my noodle restaurant for lunch. My sir...... Boss, you said you saw Mr. Sato come out of the building? ”

The boss walked out from behind the counter, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it was noon that day." I was across the road and I saw Mr. Sato come out and go straight into our noodle shop, and when I went out to buy groceries, Mr. Sato didn't see me, and we didn't say hello. ”

Mizusawa asked, "When did Mr. Sato appear...... I mean: how long has he been here? ”

By this time, the noon rush hour had passed, and there weren't many customers in the restaurant - actually. While Mizusawa was waiting at the noodle restaurant, the peak season was coming to an end. At this time, only the workers in the noodle restaurant who delivered food came back to pay the bills. The proprietress had enough time to discuss Mr. Sato's problems with Mizusawa, so she continued to recall: "I don't know how long Mr. Sato has been here, but he appeared for the first time...... Oh, it's the time I met Miss Mizusawa. Yes, I'm sure. ”

"Six days ago!" Mizusawa turned to his girlfriend and said affirmatively.

The phones rang at the same time. It was a work call, and their agent asked the two to report to a certain place immediately. After answering the call, Mizusawa was a little hesitant. The girlfriend immediately persuaded: "Life has to go on, we still have to live, but ...... How much money do you have? ”

Mizusawa tilted his head to look at the other party, and said hesitantly, "About ...... 1,200,000 yen. ”

"The rent is 50,000 yen; For meals, three meals a day cost 100 to 500 yen (500 yen is equivalent to about 33 yuan); Medical insurance and employment insurance are about 15,000 yen...... 200,000 to hire a detective, should be enough, right? See if you are reluctant? ”

Mizusawa's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly, "Do you have a familiar detective?" ”

The girlfriend nodded: "I know a detective...... Keeping an eye on the building should be a small job, and since Mr. Sato lives here, he always has to come out to buy some food, some cigarettes and alcohol. We can go to work normally ourselves. Let the detectives keep an eye on the building twenty-four hours a day, and I believe the results will come out in two or three days...... Now, we'd better get to work quickly, let's go, let's talk ...... as we go"...,

Mizusawa appreciated the idea: "If I can win 200,000, I am willing." I've been working a lot lately. It's a big deal, I can run a few more fields, and I will be able to earn back 200,000 yuan soon......"

Mizusawa's idea turned out to be unreliable, and after two days, the detective found nothing. He responded to Mizusawa's inquiry for the Nth time: "Miss Mizusawa, I'm sorry, I've already checked the residents of the building, and I've checked everything I can, and there have been no new residents in the building in the last two weeks...... You can't let me knock on the door from house to house, then the Metropolitan Police Department will detain me."

I've checked the building's surveillance footage...... Miss Mizusawa, are you sure that Mr. Sato lives in the building? My men went through the tenants of the building almost one by one, and we found more than a dozen suspicious people, most of whom have now been ruled out, and the remaining three, presumably occasional passers-by in the building, are sure that there is no such thing as the guest you mentioned in the building. ”

"How could it not exist? The owner of the restaurant obviously saw him coming out of the building? "Mizusawa is in a hurry.

"We didn't find the suspect in the time frame that the owner said—are you sure you remembered his height?"

Mizusawa thought for a moment and replied frustratedly, "He...... I was sitting when he came in, we never stood side by side, his height ...... I'm not sure. But how so? The owner of the restaurant always remembers what Sato was wearing at the time, right? He is a designer and dresses tastefully. ”

The detective smacked his lips on the phone: "We asked the owner of the restaurant in detail, and the boss and the proprietress described exactly the same, they remembered the costume that Mr. Sato was wearing at that time." But strangely, at that time, there were really no people in that costume in or out of the building. We've even reviewed surveillance footage from the vicinity...... It's hard to say. ”

"Can't say anything?" Mizusawa asked.

"We found your presence on surveillance footage, but...... But there is no one around you. Miss Mizusawa, I beg your pardon, we even saw you raise your glass on the video and see you babbling about something, but there was no one around you. If it weren't for the restaurateur to prove: Mr. Sato was indeed sitting next to you at the time, we would all suspect that you were ...... Talk to oneself. ”

Mizusawa felt a creep: "Ghost?!" …… Sir, you mean, Mr. Sato is a ghost? ”

The detective hesitated for a moment and replied, "Actually, I can't be sure that the surveillance tape I got came from a building across the river from Edobashi, and the surveillance camera on the side of the building happened to sweep to the noodle restaurant." Unfortunately, the noodle shop is not the main picture. I also magnified the background countless times before I saw you sitting in a restaurant eating noodles in a blur, and I could see your movements in this plate of tape, but there was a blank space across from you. ”

"...... in the building," Mizusawa asked reluctantly.

"In order to guarantee the rights of the occupants. There are no surveillance cameras installed in the stairway. There was in the elevator, but we couldn't find the person if the other person didn't take the elevator up and down. ”

"Sato hasn't been to the noodle restaurant these days?"

"Nope! We keep someone in the restaurant to keep watch...... Miss Mizusawa, we have taken thousands of photos these days, try to take a clear picture of each man's face, if you have time, you can come and see the photos. You may be able to find your purpose. ”

"Are you in front of the apartment building now?"

"We're still squatting...... Miss Mizusawa, I would like to remind you that you are almost out of money, and if you continue to monitor, you will need to pay the next fee. ”

Mizusawa flipped his wallet: "I'll go over right away......"

At this time, Wang Cheng was in the room...... Dance.

The soundproofing of the room is very good, and the stereo plays Latin dance music, and the tone is not light or heavy. Wang Cheng is alone. Raise your hands in the air, simulate a hug to your dance partner, and circle around the room to the music. Natasha's soft whisper came from the headphones, "Do you need me to come over to accompany you?" ”…,

Ahem. Perhaps to save money, or to not alarm too many people, Wang Cheng did not rent a room for cover and sniping opposite his apartment building this time. So Natasha slept on the rooftop platform during this time, and this rooftop platform is located on the other side of the Edo Bridge, across the river from Wang Cheng's apartment building. The surveillance tape obtained by the detective happened to be from the surveillance probe installed on the building.

Of course, on the opposite side of the Wangcheng apartment building, almost all of them are financial buildings on this side of the Edo Bridge, so rent a room here. The rent is sky-high and not easy to rent.

At this moment, Natasha was shrunk in her sleeping bag, holding a telescope, and observing Wang Cheng's solo dance through the window. After she finished speaking, she lowered the telescope lens. Locked in a van on the street. There were two people in the van, the window of the van was ajar, and a large camera lens peeked out - these two were the detectives hired by Mizusawa.

"No need", Wang Cheng turned a foxtrot circle lightly, returned to his workbench, picked up a piece of leather and continued: "I've finished jumping." ”

Natasha chuckled softly, her camera pointed at the van, and asked, "You say, who are their surveillance targets?" Will it be us? ”

"They showed up on the first day we started, and the object was probably not us. It would be amazing if the SFC could find out what I was doing on the first day, quickly find out where I lived, and immediately put in place 24-hour surveillance. Everyone has the ability of the Japan Securities Regulatory Commission, and our industry should be extinct. ”

"Guess who hired them?" Natasha asked. During this time, the highly intense work is all during the day, all during the opening of the stock market. Wang Cheng took on a lot of computing work alone, and the rest seemed to have nothing to do. Natasha's main job is to cover, squatting alone on the roof of the building, for fear of being found out that she can't listen to the radio, watch TV, or surf the Internet. The only activity that can relax tension is the period when she chats with Wang Cheng at night, during which she looks very chicken, not at all like a calm and composed sniper.

The chat between the two is actually a means of "behavior control", Wang Cheng doesn't mind Natasha's chicken wife, he sews the leather goods at hand, and buries his head and says: "Who knows, maybe it's to track down the cheating husband, Hongxing's wife, and the cheating boyfriend...... In short, Japanese devils are so fond of detectives, I remember that their TV is full of suspense movies, which shows that they are real chicken women. ”

"Bang", Natasha said in a low voice, "I have rubber bullets, ceramic bullets, and ice bullets in my hands, and I really want to destroy them with one shot." It's an itchy hand. Seeing a few targets dangling around, my hands were really itchy...... I still have zombie guns and laser guns here, why don't you let me have a shot? ”

The headphones used by two people to talk are buried in the ear canal, and they can hear each other clearly when they talk in a voice that is almost like a whisper. This prevents building patrol officers from hearing muttering noises coming over to patrol the building...... Of course, Natasha's building is an office building rather than a commercial or residential building, and no one goes up to the roof platform at night, and during the day, except for the occasional air-conditioning maintenance staff, there is nothing to hang around.

Natasha's sleeping bag sits in the corner of the building, not far from a ventilation column – she takes refuge in the ventilation duct if something unexpected happens.

"Not necessarily". Wang Cheng replied in a low voice while burying his head in his work: "The existence of these people is indeed very troublesome...... Oh, there's no such thing as a perfect or perfect action, and we can't go without a flaw. But the same. How many 'perfect actions' are in the textbooks, because of the excessive attention to dealing with the details, the result is a small mistake into a big basket, alarming people who should not be alarmed.

I believe that no matter how external conditions change, we should do what we have to do and minimize and close the loopholes. Let others have no chance to take advantage of it, then even if there are bystanders, they are not afraid. They don't know the play they watched, because they are ignorant and forget it. At this time, if it is deliberately targeted at them, it will deepen their memory. And hastily arranged impromptu performances are the most prone to errors, and once they go wrong, we are paid attention to......"...,

"You're right......", Natasha shows a taxi approaching the van and stopping, and two people with exaggerated hairstyles jump out of the car. Women with thick eyeshadow and bright costumes, they quickly flashed into the surveillance van. Then they started talking to the people in the car - they were none other than Rena Mizusawa and her girlfriend. The two had just returned from the show, and they didn't have time to change their stage costumes.

Natasha carefully looked at the temperament of the two girls, and it was indeed the temperament of an actor. The two girls talked to the people in the car, and Mizusawa handed over an envelope containing 200,000 yen. Natasha immediately made a judgment: "You're right, the employers of the two detectives appeared, two women, dressed in stage costumes, walking and body movements with a typical performance flavor, presumably actors or models."

That's right, the female employer handed over a pack of bills. The detective takes the money...... Money is being counted. The amount of money is probably about 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, and this should be the detective's fee -- they can't be government employees, and government employees can't collect such a large amount of money when they come out on a mission. ”

"Then it'll be fine!" Wang Cheng sewed the last thread, and the voice of the "clown" came from the earphones: "Since it's okay, I'll withdraw, hehe." It's very tiring to play the role of a stock evaluation expert during the day, and I still have work tomorrow, so I'll withdraw first. ”

As soon as Natasha's telescopic lens was raised, she saw Wang Cheng admiring his work just now, and immediately shouted, "This one belongs to me...... Boss, I didn't expect you to have the potential to be an artist. This bag is really wrong, I love it. ”

"It's all good materials," Wang Cheng exclaimed, adding: "I'm ready for the next cosplay artist, a big artist." Haha, practice your hands in advance. ”

Natasha's camera left the van, and she didn't notice that Mizusawa was sitting in the car and began to rummage through the camera's memory card...... Of course, at this time, even if she finds out about Mizusawa's movements, she won't care. Wang Cheng is a ghost and ghost that the surveillance camera can't find, he is good at concealment, and he is used to walking in other people's blind spots, even if you pass by, you may not notice his existence.

Besides, he didn't come to Japan now to kill people and set fires, so what would he do if he was discovered?

Mizusawa rummaged through the photos for a while, she closed her eyes and recalled Wang Cheng's appearance - closing her eyes Wang Cheng's figure appeared in front of her, and the warm smiling face could be touched, and when she opened her eyes, Mizusawa found that she ...... It is difficult for her to describe Wang Cheng's appearance.

Lack of vocabulary? No, Reina Mizusawa, a graduate of the Faculty of Fisheries at Kaido Imperial University, was able to describe the taxonomic information of each fish in detail, but she found it difficult to describe the man who passed by.

"No, no...... How many households are there in this building? Mizusawa looked up at the apartment building and asked in frustration.

You are in my presence, but I cannot see you. What kind of pain is this.

"The building is 31 floors high, with a total of more than 500 households, and about 3,000 people usually come and go", the detective said: "There are about ...... homeowners who have real estate certificates There are about ...... tenants, and among them, there are ...... men living in the building Women's ......"

"Such a small apartment building, he is obviously in the building, why can't he find it for two days - you are professional?" Mizusawa complained dissatisfied.

The expression on the detective's face did not change: "We also checked the owner of the noodle shop in detail, the noodle shop was bought by them, but the owner and his wife do not live in the building, they close the door in the middle of the night every day, the morning shift is taken over by a hired couple, and the boss and his wife take over from noon......

The owner, who has worked here for more than a decade and is very familiar with the people in the building, can name 70 percent of the residents in the building, and he can say with certainty: Sato is not the original occupant of the building.

We have removed the 60 percent of the known residents in the building, and we have begun to investigate the remaining 40 percent of the residents who do not often appear in the building, and who are relatively unfamiliar and relatively homely, and the person you are looking for is in it, but ...... Please give us a little more time. ”

Mizusawa lowered her head again, quickly flipping through the photos, she shook her head as she flipped over, and her girlfriend asked curiously, "Designer?" Could it be that he has been designing a piece recently, so he is particularly homely? …… Reina, do you think his refrigerator is big? ”

The detective said calmly: "We are already close to him, and even if he doesn't go out, we can find him." ”

The girlfriend answered dissatisfiedly: "That's it!" Although Sister Reina can't tell his characteristics, his characteristics stand out - male, recently moved, very young, well, very handsome. In such a small apartment building, two professionals can't find such an obvious person after two days of investigation, I'm really worried about your business. ”

The detective was annoyed: "I've never seen anything like this...... The guy in the house, what you are looking for is not a person, it is a ghost, such a small building, it is so deeply hidden?!
