Chapter 20 Moonlight Sonata 3st Movement
Kazuaki Hirata was so angry that he ran to Hideo Kawashima's house and banged on the door.
Hideo Kawashima had just returned home and hidden the drugs, and was about to take a shower and go to bed when he heard such a violent knock on the door. His heart began to beat wildly. Could something have happened?
"Who is it, late at night?" Kawashima Hideo asked loudly.
A familiar voice came from outside the door: "It's me!"
Kawashima Hideo breathed a sigh of relief, walked out, opened the door and asked in confusion: "What are you doing here?"
Hirata Kazuaki was furious: "Where's the money?"
Kawashima Hideo was stunned: "What money?"
Although Hirata Kazuaki looked a bit cowardly, what kind of character would dare to sell drugs? He gave the goods but didn't get the money, and his face became a bit ferocious. He risked his life to bring back the drugs!
He lowered his voice and said, "Don't play dumb! You took the things away, where's the money?"
Hideo Kawashima was confused. Did he just put the money into the secret compartment with his own hands?
"In the old place."
Hirata Kazuaki angrily said, “No!”
Kawashima Hideo sensed that something was wrong. Unless he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, it was impossible for him to misremember that much money: "How is it possible! Haven't we been doing this for the past few years? Are you sure you saw it clearly?"
Seeing that Kawashima Hideo's expression did not seem fake, Hirata Kazuaki panicked: "That place is so small, how could I be wrong! There is no money!"
Kawashima Hideo's face turned ugly, and he pulled Hirata Kazuaki to a corner and said, "Did you really see it clearly?"
Hirata Kazuaki was anxious: "Look carefully! There is not a single banknote!"
Kawashima froze. Who took the money? He didn't even notice anyone following him when he left.
"Come in first." Hideo Kawashima didn't care about anything else and brought Hirata Kazuaki into the house.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Mrs. Kawashima walked over wearing her coat.
"It's okay. Secretary Hirata said the village chief wants to see me about something. You should go to sleep first." said Hideo Kawashima.
Mrs. Kawashima grumbled a few words, but still went to bed obediently.
Hirata Kazuaki panicked and asked anxiously, "What should we do now? Have we been discovered?"
"Don't be impatient, let me think about it." Kawashima Hideo paced on the spot.
Yuya stood in an empty corner and observed Kawashima Hideo's house. He knew that these two people would definitely not be able to hold back and would take action. It was certain that they would go to find the village chief, but it was hard to say whether they would go to find that gangster.
After a while, I saw Hideo Kawashima and Kazuaki Hirata walking out with anxious looks on their faces.
Yuya's eyes lit up and he followed quietly.
The two walked anxiously along the way and soon arrived at the village chief's house.
You was also a little disappointed. Why didn't he go find that gangster?
When Kuroiwa Tatsuji heard that the money was missing, his face was filled with shock and panic, but he quickly calmed down.
"Don't panic. Maybe someone just sneaked in to play in the middle of the night, accidentally discovered the money inside, and took it away out of greed." Kuroiwa Tatsuji analyzed.
"But..." Hirata Kazuaki was still a little scared.
Although there have been no accidents in the transactions in the past few years, once there is any disturbance, these drug dealers will definitely be scared to death, not to mention that the money in the transaction has disappeared. Several people will definitely get together to discuss countermeasures.
And You was just waiting for them to find the last person.
And these three people did not disappoint Youye and soon set off together.
Moon Shadow Island was extremely quiet at night, and You didn't dare to follow too closely.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji was not wearing daytime clothes, so he couldn't hear what the three were saying.
But none of that matters. All he has to do next is wait for them to find the gangster, and then his goal will be achieved.
The three of them came to a detached house and continued to ring the doorbell.
Yuya saw a light on the second floor and the curtains were opened a corner and then closed.
After a while, the door was opened.
I couldn't see his face clearly because the light was shining on his back, but I could tell that he was tall and thin, with a spiky hedgehog hairstyle.
After a few words, they suddenly started arguing, and three of them pushed the fourth person, the gangster, into the house.
There were only these four people in the gangster's house. They were arguing loudly, but there was no light in the other rooms.
Yuya pushed up the non-existent glasses on his nose and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
···
The next day
I pretended to be shopping and passed by the gangster’s house, and saw the word "Xiben" written on the doorplate.
You also found a convenience store nearby and bought a few things. When paying, he chatted with the cashier familiarly: "Speaking of which, I just saw a tall and skinny hedgehog-headed guy running over in a panic. Did something happen?"
"Hedgehog head?" The cashier was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You mean Mr. Xiben, that shouldn't be the case, he hardly goes out normally."
Youya was a little confused: "Not going out? Are you staying at home?"
The cashier shook her head. There were no customers at the moment and she was bored, so she started gossiping with Youye.
"I heard it from others, too."
Here it comes, the standard beginning of gossip, heard from others.
"That Xiben, although he's a gangster, he's very rich. He likes gambling and playing games with women." The female cashier looked mysterious.
Yuya immediately became interested: "What game is it?"
"Oh," the female cashier waved her hands, her face slightly red. She suspected that the man in front of her was trying to hit on her. "Actually, I don't know much about this man. I just heard that he has endless money and is very generous. He changes women every few days. I heard that he also brings back very beautiful women from other places."
···I asked you to elaborate, not like this? Yuya was a little speechless, but he still made a gossipy expression on his face: "Then what?"
"Then?" the female cashier said mysteriously, "Since the previous village chief died suddenly two years ago, he seemed to be frightened by something and rarely went out. Now he has completely become a stay-at-home."
Youya remembered that there was only one room with lights on despite the noise last night, so he asked, "Does he live alone?"
The female cashier nodded and said, "Yes, because everyone on the island knows his character, no girl is willing to date him. His parents died a long time ago, and he has been alone until now."
“I see…” Youya nodded, with a satisfied expression as if he had heard some gossip.
Just at this moment a customer came in to buy something, Youya smiled and left.
Okay, now the identities of the three drug dealers have been confirmed, and by luck we also know the existence of the fourth person.
As for whether there are any fish that slipped through the net... You doesn't care too much. He came here just for the three old drug dealers. Hirata and Ming are just gifts, and the rest are none of his business.
Back at the hotel, Youya took out his cell phone from the system space and spoke the old man's voice again.
"Hey, it's me."
"The identities of the drug dealers have been confirmed. They are the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji and his secretary Hirata Kazuaki, the candidate for the next village chief Kawashima Hideo, and the remaining one is a tall, thin man with a spiky hair named Nishimoto who lives alone."
"Notify them to find a chance to take action, and don't leave any traces."
"If you are discovered, you should know what to do."
After putting away his phone, Youya let out a long sigh and lay down on the bed.
In this way, it should be possible to prevent errors from occurring, right?
···
Yuya didn't have to wait too long.
That night, the mansion near the sea suddenly caught fire.
The mansion is a wooden bungalow, built close to the sea and very conspicuous.
Yuya followed the residents and hurried to the scene, and found that everyone was holding buckets or basins, as well as fire extinguishers, trying to put out the fire.
However, wooden houses like Gongguan are more flammable, and this season is very dry. There is no fire station on the island, only on the main island opposite, for such a big fire. Someone has already called the police.
Now there is no way to put out the fire except by relying on residents to collect water and simple fire extinguishers.
After trying for a while, seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, everyone had to give up the idea of putting out the fire and just watch from a distance.
After a while, with a loud bang, an explosion suddenly occurred in the activity center. A round object flew out, rolled a few times on the ground, and stopped right in front of Youya.
Youye took a closer look and found that it was actually a burnt black head!
Youya and the villagers nearby were startled and screamed and crawled away - Youya was just pretending, but the villagers were really scared.
A few brave young men went up to identify him and exclaimed, "It's the Black Rock Village Chief!"
Everyone started talking in surprise.
Yuya heard this, and a dark light flashed in his eyes——
If his guess was correct, the fire must have been caused by someone in the group. Kuroiwa Tatsuji, whose head was blown off, must have been dead. The other three people should also be in the fire...
I think it’s ripe now?
