Chapter 124 - Negotiations
Time goes back to the moment when Kimura was called. (See the end of Chapter 120, Haibara and Qianyu’s perspective)
"Wait a minute, Mr. Kimura."
"Huh?" After hearing the surprising sound, Kimura turned around and instantly aimed his shotgun at the head of the source of the sound...
Because Kimura subconsciously aimed at the chest height of an adult, and the person speaking was a child.
Haihara Ai held the notebook in one hand and several pieces of paper that were obviously from the notebook in the other hand, looking at him quietly.
"Are you here to fall into a trap?" Kimura approached Haihara Ai with a grin.
"I plan to make a deal with you," the corners of Haiyuan Ai's lips raised slightly, as if he was mocking the other party's naivety. "I'll give you the notebook. You can see if there's anything missing in it."
"What's missing?" Kimura was surprised. After catching the notebook, he hurriedly opened it and began to check. A moment later, when Kimura raised his head again, there was an angry expression on his face. "Where did you get those pages?
went?"
"Our little piece of paper is a song that records where the treasure is," Haibara Ai said calmly. "The signature and content on the notebook indicate that a pioneer named Jiubao Chun has analyzed the meaning of the treasure song.
However, I have torn off the paper that recorded Mr. Kubo Haru's analysis."
"Where did you hide those papers?" Kimura's tone raised an octave again. "Are they the ones in your hand!?"
"Look," Haihara Ai showed the paper in his hand to Kimura - it was written in a font that Kimura was very familiar with, and he was very sure that it was the writing in the notebook. "Say goodbye to these pages!"
Before Kimura could react, Haihara Ai picked up the pieces of paper and swallowed them in one gulp!
"What!" Kimura was stunned. After reacting, he rushed to Haiyuan Ai like crazy, then lifted Haiyuan Ai up with one hand, and put the other hand into Haiyuan Ai's mouth.
Inside, he tried to pry open Hui Yuan Ai’s clenched teeth. “Asshole!”
After Kimura chose to scratch Haihara Ai's gums with his nails, Haihara Ai still didn't open his mouth even though his whole body was shaking.
When Hui Yuan Ai finally opened her mouth, she had already swallowed the notes.
"Asshole!" Kimura took out the hand that was originally in Haiyuan Ai's mouth and strangled Haiyuan Ai's neck.
In a state of near suffocation, Haibara Ai chose the strongest counterattack - she grabbed Kimura's hand that was strangling her neck with both hands, and pressed the weight of her whole body on one point on Kimura's arm.
"You're too light, little girl," Kimura said sarcastically. "You're so light that I don't even need to—"
The sarcastic words were cut off. When he lowered his head, his face turned livid when he saw a foot that hit a critical point, and his hands were released with a cry of pain. Haiyuan Ai took this opportunity.
He fell back to the ground and took a few steps back.
Men are really fragile... Haiyuan Ai curled his lips. As long as he was kicked below, no matter how strong he was, he would suffer a fatal blow. However, at the same time, this would also arouse the man's overwhelming anger.
"Go to hell!" When Kimura roared again, his anger could not be increased, and the shotgun in his hand seemed to be about to fire at the next moment.
"If you kill me, you won't get the treasure." What Haihara Ai said next made Kimura calm down instantly.
"What do you mean by this?" Kimura took a deep breath and turned the muzzle of the shotgun away from Haibara Ai. "Do you have a way to find the treasure?"
"There are only a few pages of notes," Haibara raised his head and looked at Kimura without fear. "It's very easy to memorize it."
"You mean..." A spark of fanaticism flashed in Kimura's eyes.
"If you can meet my conditions, which are not extraordinary," Hui Yuan Ai said, neither humble nor overbearing. "Then I will be happy to help you find the treasure."
"What conditions?" Kimura was slightly surprised by Haihara Ai's fearlessness in the face of danger, and his tone became calmer.
"I can take you to find the treasure, but I ask you not to affect my companions and not harm them." Haihara Ai showed a smile because he had the upper hand in the negotiation. "If you violate this,
I will risk my life to cut off your wealth."
"The premise is that they can't take the initiative to cause trouble, otherwise it would be unfair to me." Kimura was slightly surprised when he put forward his conditions - it's really scary... This girl actually has such courage...
"At the same time, although I think this is difficult, I still hope you can make a promise," Haihara Ai continued. "Let me go after you find the treasure."
"Does this promise mean anything?" Kimura raised his eyebrows. "With all due respect, this promise is not very fair to you."
"A promise is better than no promise. You don't mind making a promise anyway, right?" Haihara Ai spread his hands. "What do you think of this deal?"
"Heh," Kimura shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Yes, I promise you, as long as there are no problems with the path you pointed out, I can abide by these conditions. However, I want a proof, a proof that you memorized that note.
."
"Where do the brilliance of the morning sun and the afterglow of the setting sun fall?" Haiyuan Ai said calmly - her words were very slow, because during the period before the treasure was found, she was absolutely safe, and she was also
She needs to buy time for a boy who ran away with her to escape safely.
"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, which means that this sentence contains both directions: east and west." Haibara Ai continued to state. "Jiu Baochun found these hints in a secret room.
, and if you go due east from that secret room, you will find a soul-soothing Jizo statue not far away - it is a unique soul-soothing Jizo statue, because the stone statue was already built in the Takeda period.
There, only Kurofuchi Shrine is as old as it."
"Next, Mr. Kubo Haru used the map to measure the distance between the Soul-Calling Jizo Statue and the secret room. It was about 2100 meters. The prompt explained the east and west directions. The East is the Soul-Calming Jizo Statue, so there is probably something in the west.
Something of value. Eventually, Mr. Kubo Haru found another Jizo statue in the West."
"So, how did Mr. Kubo Haru make sure he went this way and not the other way?" Kimura asked, like a primary school teacher.
"This needs to involve the analysis of the second sentence," Haiyuan Ai smiled. "I will tell you later what is 'chasing the mouse, jumping in the middle, and taking a few steps at intervals'. But now I need you to fulfill your promise.
."
"Okay." Kimura nodded helplessly. "Let's go back to the car first."
