Lost and Spy

Jingshanzhisuke has investigated all the people living around him before, and did not get any useful clues.

Now, the night is dark.

Jingshanzhisuke suddenly said:

"Taniguchi-kun, please stay here tonight, please."

please!
He is sincerely asking for help.

For nothing else, in the shortest time, he has completely trusted Meng Shaoyuan.

The magic shown by Meng Shaoyuan is something that anyone will be impressed by in the shortest possible time.

And Jing Shanzhisuke's intention is also very clear, to stay and help him find his wife's whereabouts when tomorrow dawns.

Meng Shaoyuan did not refuse.

Not only because the other party is a student of Shintani Takuma.

The more important reason is that Meng Shaoyuan needs the full assistance from Jingshanzhisuke.

Shinya Takuma holds a high position and has too many things to be responsible for.

And he recommended Jingshanzhisuke to himself. Obviously, Jingshanzhisuke will assist him for a long time in the future.

However, Jing Shanzhisuke has a knot in his heart.

To let him do things for himself wholeheartedly, this knot in his heart must be untied!

"Of course, it's so late, and I have nowhere to go."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "But I have a request."

"Please say."

"Don't discuss any issues with me tonight." This was Meng Shaoyuan's request.

……

One night, Jingshanzhisuke knows how he spent it.

Although he didn't make any sound, and didn't toss and turn to show restlessness, his mind was filled with all kinds of scenes.

He misses his wife and hopes she is safe and well.

And the only person who might be able to help him find his wife is the person in the next room.

……

Meng Shaoyuan slept soundly.

Since there is nothing to do now, why not just sleep well?

When you have recovered your physical strength and your spirit, you can wait until dawn before you can do things.

……

No matter how long the night is, it will pass.

When Meng Shaoyuan got up, he saw that Jingshanzhisuke had prepared breakfast.

Two Manila local specialties.

Serve with two glasses of plain water.

The biscuits were dry and astringent, not tasty at all.

But Jingshan Zhisuke ate the cake in two or three bites.

For him, eating is just to maintain physical strength, what he eats is not important at all.

Meng Shaoyuan actually admired Jingshanzhisuke.

He knew that the other party must have had a bad time last night.

He has been searching hard for his wife, but there is no whereabouts.

Now, I suddenly see hope, which has a completely different meaning to a husband.

Just like there was no hope before, but hope suddenly appeared in front of you, that kind of mood is completely eager to act immediately.

God knows how Jingshanzhisuke survived this night.

But on his face, he still couldn't see any fluctuations.

As if nothing happened.

This is the psychological quality that a potential spy should have.

Meng Shaoyuan only ate a few mouthfuls of a piece of cake, then he found a piece of paper, wrapped the remaining half of the cake, put it in his pocket, and got up:
"Go out and see."

"The vast majority of those who live nearby are Filipinos."

As soon as he went out, Jingshanzhisuke said: "They have a natural rejection of us Japanese."

"Then why did you choose to live here?" Meng Shaoyuan asked curiously.

"Didn't you notice that the scenery here is very good?" Jingshanzhisuke was a little dazed: "At least, I can feel some tranquility."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said nothing.

He also started his investigation with the locals.

Jingshanzhisuke can speak relatively fluent local dialect, and temporarily acted as an interpreter.

Just like what he said, the people here have a natural rejection of the Japanese.

Although they looked very submissive, Meng Shaoyuan could still feel it.

No matter what you ask them, they always shake their heads.

They really don't want to have too much to do with the Japanese.

All these seemed to have been expected by Meng Shaoyuan, and he was not discouraged at all.

Not far away, a group was still playing there.

But Meng Shaoyuan suddenly became interested, and he walked towards the child.

Jingshanzhisuke didn't know why, so he followed behind him.

Walking near the group of children playing, Meng Shaoyuan found a place to sit down, without saying a word, took out the piece of cake from his pocket, opened the wrapped paper, broke off a small piece, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly with.

He saw that the eyes of those children were all cast here, and some of them swallowed quietly.

To Meng Shaoyuan, this cake was not tasty at all.

However, for these poor children who probably didn't eat anything in the morning, it was the most delicious thing in the world.

Meng Shaoyuan called several children in front of him, held up the cake: "Want to eat?"

Several children nodded at the same time.

"Whoever can answer one of my questions will get this cake."

Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "On January [-]th, did you see a man leave with a woman? From there."

He was referring to the place where Jing Shanzhisuke lived.

January [-]th was the day Yoko disappeared!

No one answered.

However, Meng Shaoyuan noticed that there was an older child with a strange expression.

He took out some money from his pocket and put them together with the cake: "Who can tell me that the money and the cake belong to him."

"I know."

Sure enough, it was the child who said, "They got into a black car."

"Did you see it?" Jing Shanzhi asked impatiently.

Although he was trying his best to restrain his emotions, after so long, he finally got the news of his wife, and his mood couldn't be without any turmoil.

The child nodded timidly.

Meng Shaoyuan was worried that Jingshanzhisuke would do something too radical to frighten the child, so he asked first, "It's been so long, you'll know as soon as I tell you?"

"Yes."

The child lowered his head: "That day, my mother died. I remember it very clearly."

Any child of his age will remember clearly the day his parents left him.

"What does that man look like?" Jing Shanzhi asked eagerly.

The child shook his head.

It was a little far away, and he couldn't see it clearly.

He couldn't even tell how tall it was.

"Car, where did you go?"

When Meng Shaoyuan asked this question, he didn't have much hope.

"There."

Unexpectedly, this time the child pointed to the west with certainty.

There is only so much information left.

Ask again, and the child can't say anything.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't break his promise and gave the cake and money to the child.

The child let out a cheer, and quickly left with his companions.

"At least, now we have some clues, and this can be seen as a good start!"
