Chapter 113 Stars
Aoi Makoto and Fu Jixianri came to Ikebukuro, then found a cafe to sit down, and then Fu Jixianri had a question.
"Sister Kui, why do you have to go to such a place to wait for the client? If you are looking for a store to wait for the other party and discuss things by the way, then we can just go directly to Agatha and other clients."
Fu Jixianli felt that there was no need to come here.
"It's very simple. I just don't want to spread more personal information, including the address, during this period. Li Jun, I've probably been targeted by dangerous people, and the contact between you and me is relatively frequent, so you definitely don't want the other party to follow the clues to find your home, and then throw some poison into your refrigerator due to interest, right?
Trying to choose some unfamiliar places to do activities is equivalent to a little more safety guarantee, which is good for us... and it seems that it is closer to the client here." Aoi Masaru explained a little.
Fu Jixianli nodded. He didn't agree with this statement, but...
"This is the reason, but I think if the other party really wants to check, my address should have been found. After all, it is not difficult to find out your life pattern of Sister Kui. If you are the target of the other party's careful selection, then he won't even know the store where you often work, right?
If this person has such a carefree personality, he will not be able to survive in theory."
"Is it the same thing to know where I work and know that the owner of that store is also 'same'? This is considered to be a repairer. Yu Shi is not too late... You don't talk so much nonsense, or do you hate Ikebukuro?"
"That's not."
Some people sometimes just complain habitually, but they are idle anyway.
"The time is almost over, the client is coming."
As she said that, Aoi Masaru tidied up her clothes a little. It seemed that she still attached great importance to the so-called "commission". After all, this is her substantial "work", so she pays great attention to her "business image" at this time.
But no matter how much she pays attention, she will only make her demeanor more correct. Anyway, she will not be able to show any "good and masterful" temperament.
The customers in the store were in and out. After a while, a young girl pushed the door and walked in. After scanning the store for a week, she locked it onto Ma Nakakui.
Then she walked straight to this side.
"May I ask...is it a real teacher?"
She hesitated, but finally asked like this.
The reason why I was able to find Mazu Aoi accurately was that when someone introduced her to this "master", he accurately described Mazu Aoi's appearance and age characteristics, and especially reminded her that she should never underestimate the other person because of these appearance characteristics.
The appearance of Zhen Zhongkui, who is too "young", is probably understood by those who have only a slight understanding of certain things as a situation like "every strange person, there must be a strange phenomenon". She just looks a little younger and looks far from the description of "small melon and cracked dates", so it is nothing.
After this description spread among the principals, the disadvantage is that Zhen Zhongkui's reputation seems to have been lost a lot. The advantage is that she no longer needs to explain it extra when she meets a new principal, and spends time building trust. It can be said that there are gains and losses, and there are losses and gains and losses.
"Hello, Miss Zhu Xing, please sit down."
Aoi Masaru greeted the other party, and while proving her identity, she also confirmed that the other party was the client this time.
I don’t know if it was my own illusion, but Fu Jixianri felt that when Shin-kui was talking to the other party, she seemed to be deliberately stern.
"yes."
The girl named "Zhu Xing" sat down carefully like a primary school student named by the teacher... She didn't seem to dare to sit next to Zhong Kui, but instead sat opposite her, which is Fu Jixianli.
Zhu Xing nodded to Fu Jixianli and said hello, but Fu Jixianli took the cane that he rested on the chair to his side.
"You don't have to care about him. He is my assistant... Miss Zhu Xing, can you explain what happened to you? I have decided to accept your entrustment."
As she said that, Makazumi took out a notebook and a pen, and signaled the other party to explain the matter and the content of the commission... When she spoke, she went straight to the point and went straight to the point. Her purpose was very clear. At first glance, it made people feel that she was a decisive person.
It is obvious that this is different from Sister Kui’s usual image... Under normal circumstances, she is a very normal person who is sometimes careful and gentle, sometimes confused, and sometimes deliberately poses an elderly person.
However, Fu Jixianli then understood the purpose of Zhen Zhongkui creating this "business image". They were not chatting with the client to contact their relationship, and it was appropriate to say something.
The two sides are completely strangers, and there is no connection between them at all. Logically speaking, this attitude of Zhongkui may not necessarily get the other party's response. However, what Fu Jixianli did not expect was that Miss Zhu Xing really started to talk about things - it seems that Zhongkui is a very reputable person in the "industry", and Fu Jixianli could not imagine other explanations.
However, since he is already an "assistant", he bears the fate of being ignored, so at this time Fu Jixianli only needs to listen to it, and there is no need to talk too much.
"This is the thing, Master Zhenzhai..."
Well, okay, Fu Jixianri could only complain in his heart... The title of "Teacher Zhenzhong" made him feel awkward, and he could easily think of the direction of "Teacher Aoi".
"I'll introduce myself. My name is Zhu Xingxian. It happened more than a month ago.
At that time, my brother and I received an invitation from a friend, who invited us to Hokkaido to attend the local autumn festival. Because we were free at that time and were interested in the autumn scenery of Hokkaido and the special local folk activities, we accepted the invitation without much consideration.
We took a plane to Hokkaido, then rented a car from Sapporo and continued northward to the village where we were going.
I thought it was just an ordinary trip, but…and then the problem happened.”
"Problem? What's the problem?"
Zhu Xingxian's expression fell into deep thought, while Aoi Shin-sama interrupted at the right time, indicating that she was listening.
"Our destination is a village called Kashishikawa-cho. It is located slightly behind the snowy mountain in Hokkaido. The problem is... My memory only stays when my brother and I drove into the village. As for what happened when we were in the village, how did I return to Sapporo in the middle, I don't know anything now.
In other words, I have clearly experienced some things, but I don’t have the corresponding memory in my mind…”
Fu Jixianli looked at the other person with sympathy. The girl looked only about twenty years old, and she was young and had such a bad mind.
Daxue Mountain should be the central mountain range of Hokkaido. Just thinking about it this way is indeed a bit mysterious.
Fu Ji-ri Hokkaido knows very little about it. If he talks about the place, he only knows that there is a place called Sapporo and Otaru... When it comes to Otaru, he has to mention Shunji Iwai's famous movie "Love Letter", or it is precisely because of the "Love Letter" that many people know that there is a place called Otaru.
But now seems not the time to recall such things.
"Is it just that the memory has become blurred?" asked Aoi Maraka.
"No, actually, although the disappearance of a memory made me feel panicked,... that's nothing. The key problem is that I was the only one who returned to Sapporo, and my brother... disappeared, just like that memory of mine."
"Your brother went to Kashiwakawa-cho with you, but he didn't come back?"
"Yes, he disappeared like that suddenly."
If that happens, Fu Jixianli thinks that Miss Zhu Xing is not amnesia, perhaps she has encountered some kind of "memory disorder".
But this kind of missing population incident should be called to the police, right? You should choose a good partner for help.
"After your brother disappeared, have you called the police?" As expected, Aoi Maru thought the same way.
Zhu Xingxian nodded, "I called the police immediately, but the police investigation did not find any clues. In the end, they concluded that they were... killed or committed suicide.
If these two possibilities are eliminated, the police are also wondering if I have done anything to my brother.”
"Murder", the two words Zhu Xingxian did not express it.
"Because your memory is blurry?"
"Not only that, I drove away from the village alone and returned to Sapporo. According to the statements given by the corresponding witnesses and contacts, I even calmly completed the refund procedures and returned the car and got the deposit back." Zhu Xingxian continued.
Losing a part of the memory is a very frightening thing for the parties involved, because she doesn't know what she has done. The description of her behavior by passers-by also feels that it has nothing to do with her... Just like for a certain period of time, her body was controlled by some foreign will.
Zhu Xingxian even doubted whether he had been hypnotized.
The two entered the mountain, one returned and the other disappeared, but the person who came back looked unconscious. Fu Jixianli felt that the police were definitely suspected that Zhu Xingxian had murdered her brother, and that Zhu Xingxian could still move freely now, which means that the police did not catch any evidence.
This case should have been classified as "missing" by the police.
Aoi Makana thought for a while, then said, "Have you ever returned to that village afterwards?"
"No, actually, whenever I mention Kashiwakawa-cho, I feel a feeling of palpitations, like... something terrifying happened there."
"Where are your friend, do you still have any contact with him?"
"After my brother disappeared, we were in Sapporo, we used the phone number more than once, but after I returned to Tokyo... I could no longer contact her."
Fu Jixianri and Zhen Zhongkui looked at each other and felt that there was something wrong with it. But it is hard to say whether there was a problem in that village or Zhu Xingxian himself had a problem. If you think rationally, it is actually more likely that the latter.
This incident sounds more like a criminal case than a supernatural case. It is possible that Zhu Xingxian murdered her brother, and now he pretends not to remember anything... Of course, it seems unlikely that she really doesn't remember it.
If she pretended not to remember, she would not be so active in investigating this matter now.
"Two questions, what is your brother's name?"
"Zhu Xingchi."
"What is your friend's name?"
"Morishita Tomoko."
Aoi Makana recorded these two names, "I understand, what about your request? Do you want us to go to Hokkaido to investigate your brother's whereabouts?"
"Of course, my brother's whereabouts are the most important, and besides... if possible, I want to regain my memories of that time.
I…want to know what I did.”
By this, it seems that Miss Zhu Xing actually doesn’t trust herself so 100%... Is she still herself without memory? She must have a question mark here.
"I understand your request. We will try our best to find your brother's whereabouts, but we cannot give a guarantee. As for your own memory... in fact, this is even more difficult, because now we don't even know the reason for you to lose your memory.
To put it bluntly, the investigation may not necessarily have results. For the time being, hiring us is not much different from hiring private detectives... If this is the case, do you think it is OK?"
Although she listened to the other party's explanation, Aoi Maru still couldn't give a clear guarantee - of course she couldn't give a clear guarantee.
Such an answer will definitely not satisfy the client, but Zhu Xingxian must have tried various efforts over the past period of time but did not get any results. Now that she has found the true Kazukui, it can almost be regarded as the last glimmer of hope for this matter.
“I got it, I can accept it.
But... can I go to Hokkaido with you?"
Aoi Matsu (deliberately) frowned, "You have to participate in the investigation yourself? Didn't Miss Zhuxing have psychological disorders in that village? It's best not to force such things."
It is obvious that she didn't want to take the client to act together. She felt that this person is likely to be a burden... Many times, even Fu Jixianli is a burden. Can you expect an ordinary person not to drag him down at critical moments?
This is unrealistic.
"Maybe overcoming this fear is the key to regaining my memory. I escaped for so long and finally had to face it." Zhu Xingxian took a deep breath and finally said.
"Then you have to think about it. If things are really something that is very conscious, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no accidents in you in the middle."
Although this is true, Ma Nakakui seems to be deliberately intimidating no matter what.
"I've thought about it, will Teacher Shizu feel it's very troublesome?"
"That's not."
