Shinji set up his bicycle, walked up to Kuronaga, and bowed politely: "Father."
Kurunaga nodded without saying much.
Mrs. Kuranagi came over. She seemed not to care about her husband fighting with others. She came straight to Shinji and said warmly: "Shinji, your birthday is over so soon?"
"The scene was too noisy and I'm not used to it. I came back early." Shinji replied.
Mrs. Kurunaga smiled and said, "My Shinji is still the little boy who likes to be quiet and not be disturbed."
"yes."
"You come back early, Yumi will definitely be unhappy, right?"
"fine."
"How can it be okay? It's Yumi's birthday. She must hope that all her friends are here..."
They speak Japanese, which most people can't understand.
At this time, Matsumoto Ueki raised his Japanese sword high, made a very peculiar starting position, and slowly circled around Kuranaga, preparing to find a flaw and strike with one strike.
Kuronaga frowned and suddenly said: "Wait a minute, what is your relationship with the Shinin-ryu Sword Sect?"
"You have good eyesight. As for the relationship between me and Xinyinliu, I will tell you when I cut your neck!" Matsumoto Ueki said with a smile.
At this time, a young man came to Matsumoto Zhishu and whispered a few words.
Matsumoto Ueki's expression changed suddenly. He immediately put away the knife, took a few Japanese ronin with bruises and swollen faces, separated from the crowd and left in a hurry.
This was something no one expected. An inevitable bloody conflict disappeared in an instant without any warning.
Soon, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Xu Siqi noticed that the young man did not say hello to Kurunaga, but quickly crossed the road and got into a black car parked on the street.
After a while, the car's lights came on and quickly disappeared into the night.
Shinji seemed completely unaware of all this.
"Shinji, since you are back, please accompany us for a walk on the Bund."
"yes."
The Chenghuang Temple is very close to the Bund, only a ten-minute walk away.
Xu Siqi stood in the dark, watching the family of three go away.
"Miss, everyone has left, can you return the door bolt to me?" The noodle shop owner stood on the street and said to Gu Qingcheng from a distance.
Only then did Xu Siqi realize that Gu Qingcheng beside him was actually carrying an iron door bolt.
He couldn't help but ask: "Qingcheng, what are you doing with it?"
"This is a weapon for the old gentleman. He will definitely suffer a loss if he fights with his bare hands. Oh, this thing was lent to me by the noodle shop owner." Gu Qingcheng explained seriously.
Xu Siqi said: "If those Japanese rogues really dare to take action, I can let them stay in prison for a year and a half on the charge of armed murder."
"Then why don't you catch them?"
"The Japanese are very difficult to deal with. You must have sufficient evidence to catch them."
"Has he already drawn his sword?"
"It's not enough to draw the sword, you can do anything with the sword. I'm just waiting to catch them and reveal themselves."
"Oh, I understand. When the critical moment comes, you will take out your pistol and shout, don't even move. I am Detective Inspector Xu Siqi of China!"
Gu Qingcheng held up the door bolt as a pistol, and her voice was very interesting.
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "Yes, that's it. It's a pity that they didn't fight in the end."
While talking, the two returned to the noodle shop.
"Thank you." Gu Qingcheng returned the door bolt to the boss.
"You're welcome."
It was time for dinner and the boss was at leisure.
Gu Qingcheng said: "I mean, thank you for lending me the door bolt."
The boss waved his hand: "A Japanese can stand up for the Chinese, so what does it mean if I do a little favor..."
Xu Siqi thought for a while and asked: "Boss, are you familiar with Mr. Kurunaga?"
"It's familiar. Mr. Kurunaga is a regular customer. He comes here every now and then to have a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and sometimes noodles mixed with scallion oil. Oh, his home is on West Street." The boss pointed to the west.
"What's his name?"
"Kura Naga Soen."
"How long has he been in Shanghai?"
"Let me do the math, one year, two years, three years, four years, five years..."
The boss clapped his fingers and sighed: "It has been at least ten years, so we are now old neighbors."
"Do you know his son?" Xu Siqi continued to ask.
The boss became alert, looked at Xu Siqi and Gu Qingcheng, and said, "Sir, why are you asking about this?"
Xu Siqi took out his detective certificate, waved it at his boss, and said, "I'm worried that those Japanese ronin will retaliate against Kuranagi Sogan. Learn more about the situation, and the patrol room can provide protection if necessary."
The ID was half in Chinese and half in English. The boss didn't see clearly Xu Siqi's position. Anyway, he knew that it was the ID of the patrol room, so he said: "Shinji has come here a few times. He doesn't like to eat noodles. He always comes with his parents. He
He has an introverted personality, and I haven’t spoken to him a few times over the years.”
"He is a student of Zhenhua Middle School?"
"Yes."
"How many people are there in the Kurunaga family?"
"Just three people."
"Mr. and Mrs. Kurunaga, they look to be fifty years old, right?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Kurunaga are the same age. They are both fifty-one years old this year."
"How old is Shinji Kuranaga?"
"Fifteen."
Although he felt that the police officer's question was too trivial, the boss still answered truthfully. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped to help the Kurunaga family.
"My parents are fifty-one years old and my son is fifteen years old..."
"Isn't that right? The couple was very happy to have a child in their middle age. When Mrs. Kurunaga was pregnant, Mr. Kurunaga stood around and waited on her very attentively."
"How thoughtful?" Xu Siqi asked.
The boss recalled: "One time, Mrs. Kurunaga went out to buy things, and it happened to catch up with a sudden heavy rain. She had no time to buy an umbrella, so Mr. Kurunaga used his body to protect his wife from the rain, and he was soaked all over."
"At that time, how many months was Mrs. Kurunaga pregnant?"
"At least six or seven months old, with a big belly..."
After leaving the noodle shop, Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment and said, "Siqi, why do I feel... are you acting weird tonight?"
"What's wrong?"
Xu Siqi was a little absent-minded, he was still thinking about what happened just now.
According to the noodle shop owner, Mrs. Kurunaga walked around the market many times with her pregnant belly, and many nearby residents saw it.
That means that Shinji Kuranaga has nothing to do with his younger brother Sigen.
Could it be that the clues will be cut off again this time?
Gu Qingcheng continued: "What you asked your boss just now seems to have nothing to do with providing protection, right?"
"It really doesn't matter."
Xu Siqi didn't hide anything and simply told what happened.
"So that's it..."
Gu Qingcheng sighed: "Well, it would be great if we could find that human trafficker. He must know who sold Siyuan to in the first place..."
