1 The express train Pigeon, departs from Tokyo Station at 12:30. The executive director took this train to Osaka, and Tatsuo also went to see him off.The short stature of the executive director, surrounded by everyone, seemed even shorter.Before driving, the people around were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed to be very clear, but for some reason, it always looked a little sad. The executive director was transferred to Osaka as a branch manager.In fact, it was an overt and covert surrender, apparently for the sake of being defrauded of 30 million yuan, and he was required to take responsibility.This is a punishment for him.

Needless to say, the people who saw me off were all employees of the Showa Electric Manufacturing Company.In this kind of occasion, the interest of seeing off the person will not be very high, but the person concerned must not be rude.In some people's eyes, there is still an air of gloating.Although there were bursts of laughter, there was something false about it. Long Xiong stayed away from the group and stood behind.He hadn't had a chance to speak to the managing director yet.Instead of standing in the crowd and saying hello casually, it is better to stand behind and see off silently.

The train moved on.Everyone waved their hands, while the director leaned out of the window and gradually left from the waving hands.Directors are waving too.Suddenly his eyes widened, and he saw Long Xiong standing behind the crowd.The director stretched out his hand and shook it as best he could.Only then did Long Xiong wave his hands vigorously at him.Emotions set off waves like a whirlwind. When only the red light at the rear of the car could be seen, the people who saw him off had already dispersed.There was nothing left on the platform.People in twos and threes lazily walked up the exit stairs.

Long Xiong plans to go back tonight to write his resignation letter.The vacation period has long passed, and it is up to the director to maintain it until today.Long Xiong relies on his care for everything. Although Long Xiong is full of vigor, he still doesn't have a clue, he just wanders in vain.Exactly when the path will be glimpsed is hard to predict.However, he is not discouraged.The reason why he resigned was to free up time to find this path.The guy hiding in the dark forced one person to commit suicide and kicked another person out of power, and he will never give up until he chases him out.Stubbornness is certainly stubbornness, but how could he allow that kind of person to swagger in the street and swagger through the streets!When the director's lonely figure disappeared from Long Xiong's vision, the anger in his chest became more intense.

He thought there was always a way to deal with the problem of living.At such times, celibacy has its conveniences.Fortunately, I am alone, and it is not a problem to live on the severance pay for a year.Thinking that he was still in the prime of life made him even more determined to resign. Long Xiong was walking forward, suddenly someone pushed his shoulder lightly from behind. An elderly man, well dressed, smiled at Long Xiong.It was the company's Senuma legal counsel, but Tatsuo didn't recognize it right away.Lawyer Senuma usually goes in and out of the office of the corporate tycoon. Long Xiong knows him, but has never talked to him.Seeing him pat himself on the shoulder kindly, Long Xiong didn't know what to do for a while, so he bowed.

The director also finally went west.Senuma and Tatsuo walked side by side while talking.He also came to see him off. Thank you for seeing me off, thank you. Long Xiong thanked him as a company employee and bowed again.Senuma also nodded in return, looked at Tatsuo's face, and asked as if saying something polite: I haven't seen you much in class lately. Yes, I took more than two months off. In the rushing crowd of passengers, the two walked slowly. Is there something wrong with your body?Senuma asked. No, I'm on vacation. Well, that's good. As soon as the chat was over, the lawyer suddenly said something:

Take care of yourself.You are still young, and dangerous things should be kept as far away as possible. Long Xiong turned to look at him, the lawyer let go of his voice and laughed. Ha ha.OK, bye. Laughter seemed to replace the words of farewell.Senuma leaned forward slightly, and hurriedly walked away in front of Longxiong.His hunchback was swallowed by the crowd in an instant. It was as if an invisible hand had slapped him violently.How should we interpret the ambiguous words of the lawyer?Although Long Xiong was a little confused, his heart was shocked.Before recollecting the meaning of the words, he first had an intuition.

The lawyer knows about me. Is this advice, or a warning? Long Xiong wanted to know, were those words out of good intentions, or out of malice? Thinking about it carefully, it is not unreasonable for Senuma to know what Longxiong is doing.He may have listened to the managing director.But why didn't he use ordinary words to persuade himself?It's kind of weird to be evasive like that. Long Xiong thought again, maybe it's inconvenient to talk about it directly?It might not be possible to conceive this way.That is something that cannot be said in public.Didn't the lawyer say that after some deliberation?

At the exit ticket office, Long Xiong subconsciously handed in the ticket, and only then did he feel thirsty.The weather was extremely hot and stuffy.The sun was scorching hot, shining on the Maru Building opposite the square and the station, looking from the dark station, it looked like a landscape painting embedded in a mirror frame. Long Xiong stopped his steps suddenly.Just now, he didn't pay attention, it turned out that Lawyer Senuma's back was in front of him, turning to the right.Long Xiong didn't see clearly, the lawyer had already pushed open a door and disappeared inside.Long Xiong knew the words written on the door without looking at them. It was the waiting room for first-class and second-class cars.

Long Xiong's heart couldn't help but thump.Is this a coincidence? On the eve of the case, he and Section Chief Sewano had been there.The section chief is there waiting to meet someone.The other party kicked off the prelude there, pushing the section chief to the point of committing suicide.Now, Lawyer Senuma hunched over and walked into the waiting room where there was a relationship. Since it is the waiting room, of course it is not surprising that anyone goes in.When he walked through the door, although he thought it was just a coincidence, Long Xiong's heart was still in a mess.He took out his cigarette and lit it, making an excuse to stop.His fingertips trembled, showing his inner restlessness.

He stood for a minute or two, and couldn't help but walk slowly to the door.Next to the door and peering through the glass door. Foreigners in blue military uniforms, some standing, some sitting on the sofa.Once upon a time, I came here with the section chief, but now things have changed, and the station has not changed at all.Unexpectedly, Long Xiong gasped. He saw the lawyer's characteristic back standing there.The person who was facing the lawyer, Long Xiong only saw half of his face, but it was also a person he had seen before. Before he could see the man's face clearly, Long Xiong had already recognized the hat and the fedora.Exactly, it was the customer sitting next to him in the Red House bar. The lawyer's back was more rounded, and he was listening to the cap. The two always stood and talked.Long Xiong kept his eyes on them all the time, and suddenly remembered that the woman in black was looking in through the glass that night. Isn't his current posture exactly the same as hers? Sure enough, the woman looked in like that at the time. Long Xiong knows from personal experience that certain beliefs of people are often inspired by accident.From this he had another intuition. The section chief was under surveillance at that time. Indeed, this conjecture cannot be wrong.In a trance, Uesaki Etsuko and the female shopkeeper of the Red House Bar came to his mind. Perhaps the conversation was over, and the lawyer sat down on the sofa with difficulty.The skullcap walked over.Long Xiong quickly escaped. It would be strange for others to walk suddenly, so Long Xiong walked slowly towards the platform.It turned out to be a miscalculation. Footsteps followed behind her. hello?He said hello behind Long Xiong. Long Xiong knew that he had just been discovered, so he turned around.There was a smile on the stern face of the skullcap.It was still the smiling face sitting next to him in the Red Mansion Bar. Oh, Hello.Long Xiong had no choice but to respond. Sorry, I remember your suit, so come over and say hello. Ah, no!Long Xiong smiled wryly.It's no wonder that I always wear this outfit at ordinary times. It's not common these days.I go almost every night.said the skullcap pryingly.He was referring to the Red House Bar. You go often, that's good.Long Xiong said with a smile. Even small employees can't go there often.The fees are too high. is too expensive.Long Xiong agreed. However, fortunately, I went often, and finally got a girl.Haha, you need to spend money. He opened his mouth and smiled, revealing his cigarette-stained teeth.Long Xiong was heavily guarded, it seemed that the other party had no other intentions. Aren't you going to play horse racing? The question was very abrupt, and Long Xiong suddenly remembered that he had talked about horse racing with the bartender in the Red House. No, not at all. That's regretful.The beanie looked a bit regretful, staring at Ryuo, I'm going to Fuchu Racecourse now. He took out a folded horse racing watch rustlingly from his pocket.Already wrinkled, he shook it in his hand and said: The game this afternoon was quite interesting.How about, just watch the excitement, why don't you come with me? No, I'm really not interested. There will be something that interests you.Let's just go together. A little too rigid.You seem to have said these words to Long Xiong on purpose. I do have something else to do.Long Xiong thought he was too annoying, so he said so. Yeah?Then there's no way.It's a pity. At any rate, he gave up thinking, raised his hand, said goodbye, left Longxiong, and hurried up the stairs of the No. 2 platform. Looking at his back, a suit is cheap, and it has already worn out.However, it looks like how much money there is.How did he act all the way?After getting acquainted with Lawyer Senuma, Long Xiong couldn't help but feel that there was an invisible clue in it. In a cafe on the shopping street, Long Xiong drank a bottle of orange juice in one gulp.There was a great thirst in the throat.Absently listening to records and smoking a cigarette, all kinds of thoughts rushed into my mind. The desolate and lonely figure of the director was still swaying in front of his eyes when he left.He recalled the words Section Chief Guan Ye told his family on the phone that he would not go home for the time being before committing suicide, and vaguely saw the figure of the Section Chief wandering in the dark forest of Nei Yugawara. However, at this moment, isn't it just me who is wandering around?How many clues have you got so far?It's just that I vaguely feel that a huge sum of 30 million yuan has flowed into the coffers of right-wing organizations from the hands of check fraudsters, and there is no real evidence.Since there is no conclusive evidence, it is helpless to be ridiculed by others as a fantasy. Although some suspicious characters appeared, such as Yamasugi Kitaro, Funasaka Hideaki, Uesaki Etsuko, and the female shopkeeper of the Red House, if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible to say that they were guessed out of thin air.Because I have no basis for it.As for the check crook, Horiguchi, the key person, there is not even a single clue. So, am I chasing a completely illusory shadow, busy for a while?No, absolutely not, there are signs of it.Walking out of the bar in the red building, wasn't he being assassinated for no reason?That just shows that the enemy is not a cloud of ethereal air.Things are tough, but never lose heart.There is nothing wrong with the direction.The opponent has already revealed some clues. Thinking of this, Long Xiong was startled. After meeting with Mr. Iwao, I felt that this was a rash move, but now it seems that this may not be the case.If Yanwei is indeed an accomplice, he must go to inform the news.Didn't the result show symptoms?This is opportunity.Yes, unexpectedly, that meeting had the effect of testing.Wonderful!This is not only a rash move, it is an unexpected success.Long Xiong's heart beat violently. He stood up immediately and walked over to the telephone.Could Tamura have grasped the symptoms?Long Xiong thought about it in his heart. Immediately, Mikichi Tamura's voice came over the phone. Just in time.I'm trying to figure out how to get in touch with you.Tamura's voice was low, but quite excited. What, what happened?Long Xiong was startled. No, nothing.I know a little bit about the situation. What's up?It's inconvenient to talk on the phone, I'll be right there. No, you can talk.By the way, let's talk on the phone, I'm in a hurry to publish the manuscript. Then you go ahead. Um.About the bill cheater.I now know where the gang traded. Where? The waiting room of Tokyo Station.They mostly use the first-class waiting room and meet there.This is reliable information.Hello, did you hear me clearly?Hello! First-class waiting room at Tokyo Station! Long Xiong stood there in a daze, forgetting to put back the receiver.His mind was spinning all the time. What he thought of was not only the scenes of Section Chief Sewano's first visit to the station that night. The section chief mentioned in his suicide note that Lawyer Senuma strongly advocated that the matter should be settled in secret; the two events that happened after the cap was drinking in the Red House bar and he was attacked after he came out of it, can now guess the reason. Aren't those two people talking about something in the waiting room just now? The lawyer's words seemed to be a warning to himself. Long Xiong regards everyone he meets as an enemy. However, after a while, Long Xiong regretted that he had inadvertently rejected the skull cap's invitation and did not go to the racetrack. 2 The sun was shining overhead.Huge Himalayan fir trees, with sparse branches and leaves, cast a circle of thick shadows around the roots.Countless pieces of paper were scattered on the ground, and people wandered on it. When the cap arrived here, the ticket office was empty, and there was no one at the ticket cutting office.The game seems to be on.He walked slowly towards the playing field. Horses are galloping in the distance.To the absent-minded, the galloping sound seems like a void.Only the loudspeakers were reporting the game.The skullcap looked down onto the stage. Thousands of faces stared at the horse racing scene.It is not easy to find him from the faces.With his hands in his pockets, the cap moved slowly.In the eyes of others, his movements are too slow, and he looks listless. Suddenly there was an uproar of voices, and people's heads moved.The colorful racehorses reached the winning point.People in the stands surged in all directions. The weather appeared to be very clear.The lawn is green and grassy.The white fence sets off the green grass to make it extraordinarily green and eye-catching.The sun is shining on the roof of the farmhouse in the distance. The skullcap lit a cigarette, changed the direction of his steps, and followed the crowd.But the eyes kept searching him. The ticket office was full again, and the caps squeezed in.With his hands in his pockets, he had no intention of buying betting tickets at all.Just squeezed in and out with the crowd.He leaned sideways so that he could see other people's faces clearly. There is a long row of windows at the ticket office, some windows are busy while others are idle.The cap walked slowly past these windows. Others thought he was hesitating and didn't know what betting ticket to buy. Another crowd poured out from the ticket gate.The ticket office was even louder and louder.The skullcap was jostled, and his eyes darted back and forth, making the pursuit even more urgent. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a certain place and stopped moving.He never noticed that there was also a ticket office.The audience is small.There is a sign of the thousand-yuan coupon ticket office hanging on it. The skullcap went and waited for him there.By the way, he will definitely come here.There is a kind of confidence in the eyes of the cap. The number of people gathering in front of the window is gradually decreasing.Time passed minute by minute.Everyone who bought betting tickets was in a hurry.The bell rang for the last five minutes before the ticket deadline.But he hasn't appeared yet. The cap was about to walk towards the racetrack when it stopped. At this time, a man ran over.Wearing a striking blue suit.Angrily, he went straight to the window and reached into the round window with one hand.After a while, I retracted my hand, holding six or seven pieces of paper in my hand. The beanie patted the back of the blue suit with a broad smile. Hello, are you here? The man stared at the cap for a moment, then said with a grin: Scary, hello!Sir, do you also buy betting tickets? Looking at the situation, you are not bad luck, are you?The beanie said as if counting a few thousand yuan betting tickets in the opponent's hand. Where.He has been losing since early in the morning.Just now a guy in the stable made a show, so I hurried over to buy some of these, not sure if they were right or not. Make no mistake, there will be a windfall. The two walked side by side to the stands.The person walking beside the cap is the one that the cap is looking for. The horse has started to run.The scenery of the racecourse is beautiful, lush and green, just like a park.The horses lined up neatly, galloped forward, circled around, and finally came back again. He didn't have a moment of peace, and after a while he began to stamp his feet anxiously.There was a din of people all around, like a tsunami. brute! He tore off the betting ticket in his hand, and it was broken into many small pieces of paper, scattered under his feet.The people around began to surge again.He was still standing there, watching the horses trot across the finish line. Missed again this time?The cap asked as if to comfort him who had lost seven thousand yuan. What the guy told me is so unreasonable! He clicked his tongue, and his face didn't look very depressed. Are you looking for unpopular people and want to make a fortune? Where and where.I thought his intelligence was solid. He walked away.The skullcap followed. What number did you buy? Number three and number five.The runner-up and the defender each asked for two.All blown. No wonder. The skullcap said nothing more. How are you sir?he asked. I'll take a break today.It's been like bad luck since morning, I have to be cautious. You are so steady. The two of them walked to the ticket office, and the horse that appeared on the stage was slowly turning in circles. He took out a crumpled racing watch and compared them one by one.The expression on his face was extremely serious, and the tip of his nose was sweating. In your opinion, what number should I buy this time?he asked suddenly. Hard to say.A look of embarrassment flitted across the cap's face. Numbers two and four might do.Not interested?There was not much confidence in his tone of voice. Hey, you're also playing tricks.He said something in a nonchalant way. They went to the ticket office again.Only one window was opened on the 2nd︱4th, and no one came to buy.The female conductor was looking at her hands, playing with them. At the one hundred yuan ticket office, he didn't even look at it.He walked straight to the thousand yuan window, and stretched his hand in again.When he pulled it back, the skullcap saw that he was holding a stack of papers in his hand, there were a dozen or so. He made his way to the stands, the cap still at his side. Sir, did you buy it? Bought three one hundred yuan.I can't do it with a big deal like yours. He snorted and looked at the horse that had just started. However, at the end of that game, his fingers tore a dozen or so betting tickets to pieces.In an instant, the 10,000 yuan banknotes turned into a pile of confetti, which fell to the ground one after another. Lost again. He clicked his tongue again, his voice was much louder than before, and his complexion was not very good. It looks like I won't hit today.He licked his lips with his tongue. Throat is very dry.He invited the cap again and said, sir, how about a glass of beer? The small shop was empty. Have two beers. After finishing speaking, he would make money, lit a match, and lit the cigarette in his mouth.He was very angry, and his behavior was very rough. How much did you lose? The cap poured him beer and asked.He holds up three fingers. Thirty thousand?Well, the loss is not small.The skullcap squinted at each other. How much money do you usually carry? That's about five. five.Is it fifty thousand?A lot of money, really a lot of money.It can be said that it is a world of difference from my generation.sighed the skullcap, the beer froth still on the corners of his mouth. After all, you are rich. That was accumulated from the previous wins.He chewed the beans and said, anyway, wins and loses, loses and wins, and it goes round and round, back and forth. You are very good at buying.The skull cap praised. There are mixed shadows on the door, reflecting the rolling crowd. Do you want to buy it later? Let's take a break first.It won't work if you don't change your luck.He picked up the cup and said with a big gulp. You said rest, and you won't go to the store tonight? Hearing what the cap said, he looked at his watch. Oops, it's already this time?A little late.Shall I say hello to the store? He stood up, asked the hostess where the phone was, and strode quickly over.The skullcap watched his back and sipped his beer. He is on the phone.Can't hear anything on the phone here.At first he straightened his body, gradually he arched his back, put his ears on the microphone, and even bent his waist. He seemed to be listening very attentively to what the other party said.The skullcap sat far away from the phone, so it was impossible to know what expression was on his face at that time.Of course there will be some changes. He hung up the phone and stood there in a daze for a while.For a minute, his eyes were fixed on a certain point on the wall without moving.However, as if on a spring, he turned and strode back to the skull-cap table. The cap stared at his face, but did not notice the change in his demeanor. I'm not going to work in the store tonight. If we want to talk about change, it is in this sentence.However, the skullcap was treated indifferently and ignored. What, you want to rest? For some reason, I can't lift my spirits. Depressed? A little.Are you still going to buy it? Well, it doesn't matter if you buy it or not.The skullcap answered vaguely. I'm going back and looking for a place to have a drink.Excuse me. wait a minute.The skullcap slammed the glass down on the table.Don't be so heartless and leave me alone.I don't seem to be interested anymore, let's go back with you. Then let's go together. A gleam flashed in his eye, but he was only too eager to finish his last glass of wine. OK, let's go. The game started again, and the loudspeaker was broadcasting.Near the ticket office, there are few people buying tickets.Himalayan fir trees cast long shadows, and handymen are sweeping. The two walked out of the gate of the racetrack side by side.He walked to the taxi parking lot. to Shinjuku.As soon as he got into the car, he spoke to the driver. Shinjuku.Oh, want a drink in Shinjuku?asked the skullcap sitting beside him. It's comfortable and happy there.where are you goingOr the old place Ginza? Well, the answer is not very clear, how about it, I will also go to Shinjuku.Let's have a drink with you, what do you think?Fine? That's fine too.His eyes flickered again. The car was speeding down Koshu Street.The scenery has been stained with twilight. How is your luck today? Did you ask about horse racing?the skullcap asked back. Hey, did you win today? No.Haven't hit it since morning. How many numbers did you buy for the fourth game? In the fourth scene, the skullcap made a thoughtful look, what size did you buy?I remember it was number three and number five. number three.Oh, is it sunrise?At the critical moment, fell behind. Hearing what he said, the expression on the cap's face showed a look of relief. That horse is going to be a strong horse in an important racecourse.The last time at the Zhongshan Racecourse, it was raining, and it ran first.The horse started fast.Number five is Fengguang, right? right. After running fourth, Bi Yingyi fell six horses behind.According to the strength of that horse, the gap should not have been so wide.Did you watch the match in Fuchu last time? No, that opportunity was missed. Same as Hamakaze, only one head difference.That horse has strength, but it is afraid of being squeezed, and it will not work if squeezed.So, what did you buy for Game 5? Game five?The skullcap looked a little uncomfortable.Is it number two? number two? No, it's number six. Moon King?That one wasn't much better either. Yes, it's number six.Two three makes six, and I bought a serial number three.For a moment, the cap seemed to be confident. The number three is Xingyuan.The horse was on the third corner, so jammed that it couldn't get away.When taming a horse, it is said that it can run quite fast.When it comes to the racetrack, it doesn't work. Exactly.The skull cap cautiously echoed, as if he had no idea. Are you good at horse racing, sir? Not to mention an expert, just like it. His eyes were cold, and there was an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth.The high-rise buildings of Shinjuku are already in sight. 3 On Kabuki Street in Shinjuku, the cap and he went into a tavern for a drink. Before he knew it, it was already dark outside.The store is full of customers, all of them are off-duty employees and men who are obsessed with the feasting and feasting of Shinjuku at night. There are two plates of wine and dishes on the table, cold dishes mixed with vinegar and cuttlefish slices mixed with sea urchin sauce, and three jugs of wine are placed in front of them. I thought you only drank foreign alcohol, but unexpectedly, there are also a lot of Japanese alcohol.The skullcap picked up the jug and said while pouring wine into his glass. Can you have both? good.But I am more suitable for Japanese sake.Drink it slowly tonight. Do you drink slowly?All right all right, he glanced at the cap briefly, but I already wanted to go back. Is there anything else to do? Nothing happened, and I was not very happy. You won't be like those laymen who lose a few betting tickets and feel dejected, right?Or two more glasses.If you're drunk, I'll take you home.Where do you live? my home?At this time, his eyes flashed complicatedly again, in Meguro. Well.Meguro?Which side of Meguro? You are simply torture me! A look of embarrassment flashed across the face of the rimless hat. I'm sorry, I just asked because I wanted to call a car to take you home.I live in Shinagawa, and I'm on the way. Live in Meguro near Yutenji Temple. The skullcap nodded, not daring to ask further questions. If there is nothing else, then drink two more cups.I am also alone, so it would be too deserted to go back here.I'll pay for it. No, I have the money. In the end, he wanted two jugs of wine, so he rushed to pay for it.He took out a stack of 1,000-yuan banknotes from the inside pocket of his jacket, but it was not in the wallet, and the bag bulged out after stuffing it back. The two walked out of the diner.At the moment, there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, some carrying musical instruments to the hotel to sell and sing from door to door, and some walking with their shoulders on their shoulders and making a noise while walking, the city is full of noise. It's so lively.Just go back?asked the skullcap. If you want to go back, you don't have to send it away.he said. In my opinion, let's continue drinking, you are not drunk yet.Drink it with me and get drunk. It's a good show when you're drunk, isn't it?There was a smirk on his lips. Is the universe big when drunk?said the cap, you are a good opponent.I hate to part with you like this.For me, I have to take turns to drink a few to feel happy.Have another drink with me.There's a shop over there in Ikebukuro, the wine is pretty good, I'm paying you back, let's go. Is the skullcap drunk?Hold on to him tightly.Seeing an empty taxi, the cap waved desperately, took him by the arm and got into the car. I will never let you go.Hearing the sound of the cap was drunk. He didn't say a word.The beanie put a hand on his shoulder.He looked at the street lights passing by outside the window, wondering what thoughts he was thinking. After drinking two taverns at the west exit of Ikebukuro, the two were already very drunk.He came out of the last tavern, very blue in the face, and said: I was really drunk and wanted to sleep.Sir, I am taking my leave. Yeah?going back?OK, I'll see you off.The cap swayed and patted his back and said. No need to send it off, I can go back alone.he declined. That won't work, you're already drunk.We agreed, I should send you. One can go back. No no no, I'll see you off. It's a long way, and it's troublesome to deliver.It doesn't matter if I'm alone. What are you afraid of!It's on the way, to take you home. Two drunk men were at loggerheads, and it happened that a taxi saw that it was a business, stopped and settled their dispute.The driver reached for the door and the cap pushed him inside.At this time, he unexpectedly felt that his opponent was quite strong. Go to Meguro.The cap told the driver first. The car drove back west along the ring road.Headlights swept across the dark road one after another.Ten minutes later, we drove into Shinjuku, which is brightly lit and bustling. When he passed the intersection in front of Isetan, he had been leaning on his seat as if he had fallen asleep, and suddenly raised his head and shouted: parking! What is it?The skullcap also sat up. I'm going to get off here. He opened the car door and was about to put one foot on the ground.The cap also rose up. What, don't go back to Meguro? Want to drink here again.goodbye. wait a minute! Skull also got out of the car after him. Then, I also accompany.We have been partners with each other, don't dislike me. Guest, car money! The driver calls to pay the fare.The cap agreed, and took out two crumpled one-hundred-dollar bills from his trouser pocket.The other hand held his arm tightly. Sir, you are too obsessive. He clicked his tongue and said.Skull hats are ignored. Don't say that.When I'm drunk, I don't want to be alone.Where is the house you are going to? He didn't make a sound, just strode forward unhappily.The skullcap followed closely behind. Is it this way? He walked across the street and down a few alleys.Although he was drunk, his steps were long and fast.The strange thing is that the skullcap didn't admit defeat, and walked very fast. Walked through a dark road and entered a small alley.The road is very narrow, and the shops on both sides hang rows of lanterns as signboards.The small hotel was crowded with people.It is a temporary board room built of wood, and the hostess at the door is attracting customers. There were as many as three or four good brothers who came to say hello in a low voice. It's an interesting place. The skullcap sniffed and sniffed.The smell of cooking is mixed with the smell of urine.Next to the house is a public toilet. He walks into a hotel.Naturally, the skull cap followed suit.A middle-aged woman with a cigarette in her mouth stood at the counter to greet them and said: You two are here.The store is packed with five or six people. The two guests who came first looked like workers, their faces were tanned, and they were drinking soju.A woman next to him moved to sit down beside him and asked: What would you like to order? beer.he said. me too.The skullcap spoke, took out a cigarette, and looked sternly at the shop.The pavement is very narrow, and all the places that can be used are used.Stove, shelves, and a TV set. your beer. Two people took the foaming wine glass.When the glass was half left, he called the young waitress with his hand, leaned towards her face, bit her ear and didn't know what to say.The mid-mature woman turned a blind eye, pouring beer into her cap and asking: What do you think of this beer? The young woman smiled coquettishly, glanced at the cap and said: Does that agree? He patted her hand.The young woman stood up slowly and quietly walked in behind the customer. Sir, he whispered to the cap holding the glass, I'm going upstairs to play with that girl.Are you waiting here, or go back first? He has a hippie smile on his face.The skullcap threw back his head, staring at the ceiling.As if savoring the meaning of the words, there was a look of embarrassment and hesitation on his face. Can't you finish drinking? asked the skullcap, but he laughed. Well, wait for you.Unlucky for me.When will it be over? half an hour. I'm waiting for you, let's go back together. He left the small chair, opened the door and walked out.Then he walked sideways along the aisle of the shop next door, opened the side door, and entered inside.After seeing him go in, the cap turned and went back into the shop. The proprietress's eyes were wrinkled and said with a smile: Are you really waiting?How ridiculous. The cap took the beer and asked: The whole area is doing this kind of business? almost.You have trouble telling people. Will not.Does my partner come here often? No, it's the first time. Seriously? it is true.The proprietress said solemnly. Oh, he is quite familiar with this place. A thoughtful look in a skull cap. Looking at his watch, he had only been gone for ten minutes.So he chewed beans and drank beer again.Looking at the watch for the second time, twenty minutes have passed. Hee hee, are you in a hurry? It's outrageous. After seeing him for thirty minutes, the expression of the cap began to become uneasy.He slammed the cup and asked: Hello, there are only two doors in your shop, right? Startled, Lao Guanniang looked at the face of the cap.His eyes became very sharp. Yes. The proprietress guessed that the guest must be nailing someone, so she couldn't help but change her face and said. Good guy! The cap pushed back the chair, stood up, rushed inside, and thumped up the narrow stairs. The paper sliding door is at the stairway.The skullcap knocked hard on the door.The paper door was very weak, so it shook. Hello! No one answered.Knock again. coming.The woman replied inside. I'm about to open the door! please. The skullcap pulled the door open.The woman was standing next to the flowered quilt, buttoning the buttons on her short skirt.Not even a shadow of him. What about him?The skullcap growled. gone back.The woman covered her head and looked at him and said. The cap's eyes scanned the room.The size of three mats is clear at a glance.The red bedding took up half of the room.On the shelf above the little table were dolls.Photos of celebrities are pasted diagonally on the wall.In addition, there is a pajamas hanging.The red neon lights outside can be seen from the window. When did you leave? just go. The cap ran down the stairs, trying to get out of the alley quickly, but the alley was narrow and he couldn't run fast.After finally reaching the street, looking around, there was no one who looked like him among the pedestrians.He was about to run to the side when he stopped his feet suddenly. He rolled his eyes, as if remembering something.The room did have a closet. The cap then walked back slowly, and walked sideways into the aisle.When I was about to lift my feet up the stairs, it seemed that a singer walked into the hotel, and the guitar played a rapid mambo (Note: a Cuban dance music.) dance music.The customers clapped their hands and sang along. The music drowned out the creaking footsteps going up the stairs. The skullcap yanked open the door.The quilts were still spread out there, but there was no one there.He lifted his foot and stepped in. Something bright and shiny flashed in front of his eyes.Just as he was about to pull back, he rushed over.The skull felt something hard against the edge of his stomach. Slow down! The skullcap's eyes widened.Downstairs seems to be very lively, playing guitar playing guitar, clapping hands clapping.He didn't say a word, he didn't need to say anything, the gun pressed tightly against the opponent's body, and there was a snap.Unexpectedly, the gunshots were very dull. The man in the cap fell on the quilt, and the cap flew aside.There was gunpowder smoke in the room. He stared at his opponent.The fallen man was holding on and crawling.The hands and feet are like the tentacles of a bug, scratching here and there. The guitar downstairs kept playing, but the clapping stopped. Someone was talking. He rode the squirming man.The man pressed down, opened his eyes in shock, and rolled out the white eyeballs. Beast, are you a spy?賽馬你不懂裝懂,還不怕窮酸,想請客,誘我上鉤?見你的鬼去吧。 他滿頭大汗,一手按住那人的腦袋,一手拿槍想撬開他的嘴巴。那人閉住嘴,咬緊牙,抗拒著。 他像擺弄機件似的,硬撬開那人的牙。槍口捅進嘴裡。那樣子像是嘴裡銜著一把手槍。砰然一槍,聲音比方才大得多。硝煙瀰漫下,那人的嘴像石榴開了花,鮮血四濺。 吉他聲如同斷了弦似的戛然而止。他跑下樓去,仰面撞倒正要上樓來看情況的年輕女人。奔進小夾道,側著身子,想快又跑不快。急得像扒泳一樣,剛出夾道,便撒開腿,一溜煙跑掉了。 這裡的人剛吵吵嚷嚷,亂作一團的時候,他早已溜之大吉,不見踪影了。
