Chapter 150 [Ability Person]

Let's turn the time back a few hours.

On the morning of July 16th.

While Chen Nuo was lurking outside the laboratory of the University of Tokyo, waiting for Hojo Kai.

·

In the morning, he casually found an excuse to ask his partner to go to another place to do some things, and Takamoto drove alone to the door of Xicheng Xun's house.

While on the roadside, Takamoto first carefully observed the surroundings, especially at the intersection. There were no strange vehicles parked there waiting for something. Then he looked around from a policeman's perspective and confirmed that there was no one around.

Stalking.

Takashi got out of the car and pressed the doorbell of Xun Xun's house in Xicheng.

Xicheng Xun came out and opened the door after a long time. The girl was wearing home clothes, but she looked a little haggard and her eyes were a little red. She obviously didn't sleep well.

"Ah, it's Uncle Takamoto." Xicheng Xun showed off his "top student" and "gentle girl" attitude as always, stood at the door and bowed politely: "Why are you here so early today?"

"Can I talk to you?" Takamoto frowned and looked at Xicheng Xun: "Today is not about asking your mother."

"..." Xicheng Xun glanced at Long Ben with some doubts, but still nodded and stepped aside: "Then, please come in."

·

When he sat down in the living room, Long Ben quickly noticed something was wrong.

Although the room had been tidied up and looked very clean and tidy, with the sensitivity of a senior police officer, he still noticed something was wrong.

I have been to Xicheng Xun's house in the past, but sitting in the living room today, I always had a strange feeling: as if someone else had been in this house.

When Xicheng Xun went to the kitchen to make tea, Longben quickly made his own judgment!

He smelled the lingering smell of tobacco on the cushions of the sofa.

This further confirmed Long Ben's judgment and speculation in the past two days.

After the tea was put down, the two of them knelt down and sat face to face next to the coffee table in the living room.

Long Ben picked up the tea and took a sip, then exchanged a few words.

Xicheng Xun was very able to keep his composure, he just smiled gently and did not speak first.

"Xun-chan, have you felt better these past two days?"

"What?"

"You said before that you didn't feel well, so you didn't go to school or work."

Xicheng Xun smiled, the girl's sitting posture was very standard, and she bowed slightly: "Excuse me for your concern, I don't have any problems anymore."

Takamoto simply went straight to the point: "So, have you had guests at home these past two days?"

"..." Xicheng Xun looked at Takamoto, and after being silent for a second, nodded: "Yes."

"Are they relatives? Or..."

"Is Uncle Longben asking this question as a police officer?"

Xicheng Xun's answer suddenly no longer looked like that of a good girl.

This rhetorical question surprised Takamoto. He glanced at the girl, frowned and said, "Xun-chan!"

"Okay." Xicheng Xun said slowly, "It's a friend."

"friend?"

"Well, friend." Xicheng Xun said calmly: "A friend I met before and shared the same hobbies has maintained a correspondence relationship. This time I came to Tokyo for a trip and stayed with me for two days."

After a pause, Xicheng Xun added: "I have left now."

I don't know why, but Takamoto always felt that there was a hint of melancholy in Xicheng Xun's tone when he said "leave".

"So, this person..."

"Uncle Longben, this is my private matter!" the girl said back forcefully again.

Takamoto was a little surprised. Since entering the house, this girl, who has always shown herself as a good girl and treated others with a gentle attitude, has faced his inquiries twice and showed a very obvious resistance.

Takamoto was silent for a while, changed the topic, raised his hand and pointed at something placed next to the TV in the living room.

"Kaoru-chan, since when did you start liking playing games?"

That's a PS game console.

Xicheng Xun seemed to smile: "Isn't it possible? It is normal for children of my age to like to play games."

"But……"

"Uncle Takamoto!" Xicheng Xun suddenly sat up straight: "What do you want to say? You might as well say it directly."

"As you said, let's talk about the friend who has been at your house these two days." Long Ben simply chose to go straight to the point: "I discovered before that there were strangers watching you outside your house, and there were more than one. Also.

Someone parked his car on the side of the road and stayed there all day long.

And...I found that you went out in the middle of the night."

"So, am I a prisoner?"

The cases involved have nothing to do with it."

"Whether it matters or not, it should be the police who have the final say! Hey! Xicheng Kaoru!" Takamoto yelled bluffingly.

Xicheng Xun sat there silently, just raising his head and looking at Takamoto. His eyes were gentle, but he had no intention of giving in.

After looking at each other for a while, Takamoto sighed: "Xun-chan! I have watched you grow up. When your father was still alive, I once hugged you! Your father was also my friend...

I promised him that he would take good care of you."

"Yes!" Xicheng Xun's attitude softened a lot when he mentioned his father, and he whispered: "You have always taken great care of me.

But, my friend, I really don’t want to mention him. Moreover, he really has nothing to do with the case my mother is involved in.”

"Then, can you tell me, why is it that a friend from out of town who comes to Tokyo to travel to you has someone watching you outside your house?

I felt that the guys following me didn't seem to be hostile, but... more like bodyguards protecting me.

And there is...

Is that friend of yours from a wealthy or wealthy family?"

Xicheng Xun looked up at Takamoto in surprise.

Long Ben said slowly: "I checked the license plate number and that car belongs to..."

He reported the name of a well-known company in Tokyo.

Takamoto's attitude at this moment was not that of a policeman. It was more like the attitude of a parent caring for his children.

Although Xicheng Xun resisted this gesture, he was not disgusted with it.

After pondering for a moment, the girl sighed: "Uncle Longben, these are really my private matters."

"The mother got into trouble with the Truth Society, and the daughter got into trouble with an unknown rich man?" Takamoto said solemnly: "Xun-chan! Do you really have nothing to say to me?"

Xicheng Xun remained silent.

After looking at each other for a while, Takamoto sighed, picked up the tea cup in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and stood up to leave.

"It's not that I want to control you too much...but, Kaoru-chan, you are a girl, and I want you to be safe."

Xicheng Xun looked at Long Ben with complicated eyes: "Thank you, Uncle Long Ben, I will protect myself."

·

Long Ben left Xicheng Xun's family, but he didn't leave.

He drove the car to the intersection, chose a corner to stop, and sat there quietly.

Instinctively, he always felt that something was wrong with Xicheng Xun's reaction.

I always feel like I can discover something.

·

In the morning, it is actually the quietest time in the entire neighborhood and the least crowded.

The office workers went to work.

The child goes to school or kindergarten.

Housewives also go out for shopping in the morning.

In fact, during this time period, there are the fewest people in the neighborhood.

Takamoto sat in the car, opened the window a little, smoked patiently, and watched quietly.

Near noon...

Suddenly, two vans came speeding from the far side of the road.

What aroused Long Ben's alarm was that he noticed at a glance that the two vans had very old bodies, and more importantly, they did not have license plates hanging on them!
