"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later …"
Wan Qianqian hung up the phone. Even if she was overseas, she would still say the same thing over the phone. It was probably used all over the world.
The problem was that she still couldn't get through to Koizumi Keiko's phone. Wan Qianqian couldn't sit still any longer. She asked for her address from the school and went to the apartment.
It was an open apartment, so the security factor was practically zero. She arrived at the door without any obstructions.
The door was closed, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Wan Qianqian knocked on the door and called for a few minutes, but there was still no response. She accidentally alerted the neighbor next door.
A Caucasian woman in a nightdress walked out with sleepy eyes. Wan Qianqian immediately apologized. "I'm here to look for a friend. I didn't know you were resting. I'm really sorry. Do you know where this family went?"
The woman looked at her suspiciously and asked, "You're her friend?"
She quickly checked her attire. "Yes, she's my kid's teacher. She didn't go to class yesterday, so I'm here to ask if she's feeling unwell."
It turned out that no matter which country or race one was from, aunties were born with a radar for gossip.
Perhaps the fact that she had a kid made her lower her guard, but the woman came out of the door and grabbed Wan Qianqian's arm. "Hurry up and help your kid transfer to another school. This family was taken away by the police."
"What? Police? Why?! "She had already prepared for the worst, but she didn't expect the police to take her away.
But that was fine. In that case, Koizumi Keiko's life shouldn't be in danger.
"I don't know. It was really noisy that night. When I opened the door, I saw a lot of people with guns entering her room. Not long after, the police came and took them all away. I think they're involved with some triad organization. I heard that there's a big casino in our town recently …"
Wan Qianqian didn't have time to listen to the woman's gossip. She smiled and nodded. "Thank you. I understand. Thank you very much."
"That's why I said, don't go out at night. It's really unsafe!"
"Alright, thank you very much."
With a smile on her face, she escaped from the evil clutches of the aunt. Why would a man in black come looking for Koizumi Keiko?
Was it because of the documents he picked up? Why are the police here? Did Koizumi Keiko send them here on purpose?
He felt that the whole thing was wrapped up in a huge mystery, and he had just barged into it blindly.
Forget it! Since she was already here, she would take things as they came. Since this matter had come to her, she would definitely not let it fall into her own hands.
"I'm sorry, miss, but we don't allow visitors!"
Looking at the righteous police officer in front of her, Wan Qianqian almost couldn't suppress the evil fire in her heart. She scratched her head in irritation. Needless to say, her hair must be messy like a chicken's nest. "Why?!"
The police officer was confused by the question. He lowered his head and flipped through the information. "I'm sorry, this lady's situation is a little special. She's a special detainee. She's not allowed to have any visitors during the fifteen days of detention."
"First, except for political criminals, there are no circumstances in which visitors are not allowed. Second, Ms. Koizumi is an international friend. I'm not sure if you've informed the embassy of Japan about this. Third, I'm Ms. Koizumi's relative. You can just use my name to ask her. Based on these three points, I have the absolute right to visit. Please allow me. Otherwise, I don't mind informing the government in Ottawa. "
The police officer was stunned for a moment before he helplessly spread his hands. "I'm sorry, miss. Please wait a moment. I'll go and ask for instructions."
Not long after he left, a middle-aged man returned and said in a domineering manner, "I'm sorry, miss. Koizumi Keiko is not allowed to visit. We've already contacted the embassy of Japan. Her crime is indeed related to the government's privacy. Here are the relevant documents. Please take a look. If you insist on visiting, you can go back to Japan and ask for a reply from the government."
Wan Qianqian lowered her head to look at the documents. They were all stamped and signed. It was indeed done by the embassy of Japan.
She couldn't help but feel nervous. Koizumi Keiko, what have you gotten yourself into this time? You've already implicated the government of your country.
Wan Qianqian remained calm on the surface. She smiled back and said, "Okay, I'll contact them. Thank you."
When she walked out of the police station, she was overwhelmed by a sense of defeat. She was about to call Wen Yuen. That sly guy might have some bad ideas. It was better to have an unreliable method than no one.
Just as she took out her phone, a black luxury sports car slowly stopped in front of her. The car window rolled down, revealing a mature and wise face.
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet Miss Wan here."
Wan Qianqian looked at him in confusion. "May I ask who you are?"
"Haha, Miss Wan, you're really forgetful. You've only left Japan for a short time. How could you not remember?"
At the mention of Japan, she suddenly remembered something. She bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Sakai, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you here."
She really didn't expect to meet this Buddha in Kangaroo Country. Sakai Masao was a famous figure in both the underworld and the underworld in Japan. His underworld group could be on an equal footing with the government. The underworld group laundered money for the underworld group, and the underworld group worked for the underworld group. They complemented each other and grew stronger and stronger.
Why was he here? Did the Sakai family have a lot of business here?
Wait a minute, Sakai Masao, Sakai Sakura, did his appearance have something to do with Koizumi Keiko?
While she was in a daze, Sakai Masao took the initiative to mention, "I just came here to deal with some affairs. There's an old saying that the joy of life is to meet an old friend in a foreign place. Meeting Miss Wan Qianqian here is indeed a celebration!"
The Japanese people were implicit and spoke in a roundabout way. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to invite her to dinner.
Thinking of the three people who were crying piteously at home, she was about to refuse, but then she thought of Koizumi Keiko. Even if there was no relationship, the man in front of her was so powerful, he must know something.
Wan Qianqian smiled generously, "Of course. Mr. Sakai has just arrived here, so you must not be familiar with this place. I'll treat you to dinner under the guise of being the host."
Perhaps Sakai Masao didn't expect that she would really agree. His eyes were full of surprise and joy. He opened the door for her in person, "Miss Wan, please come in. I'm not as polite as I am, so I'll let you spend a lot of money."
The place for dinner was the revolving restaurant on the top floor of St. Belle.
After she sat down, she looked at the prices on the menu and thought that she should let Gu Tanfeng spend money again. They were not familiar with each other. She had planned to find a topic to ease the atmosphere, but she found that she couldn't find it at all.
To his surprise, Sakai Masao directly said, "Miss Wan, you came here to eat. Maybe you want to know about Koizumi Keiko?"
"You just came out of the police station when I met you?"
Because of this, he knew what she said in the hall. Relying on Sakai Masao's strength and means, Wan Qianqian boldly guessed and added a sentence, "Or the receipt from the embassy that I saw should be sent by Mr. Sakai just now."
Sakai Masao smiled dotingly and helplessly, "I always thought that Miss Wan was a very smart girl, but now I think I underestimated you."
"Do you know Miss Koizumi, Mr. Sakai?" She tried to make herself as natural as possible when she asked.
Sakai Masao was absolutely frank and didn't hide anything, "Yes, we have some relationship. But why do you care so much about her, Miss Wan?"
"Because Koizumi Keiko is my child's teacher. I didn't go to class yesterday, so I went to her house. When I learned that she was in the police station, I came to ask if she needed any help. It should be very reasonable."
The man nodded and admitted this statement, "As a friend, I advise Miss Wan that you'd better not interfere in this matter."
"It sounds like Mr. Sakai is going to interfere. Teacher Koizumi is very kind and gentle. I don't think she will do anything criminal."
"You can't judge a book by its cover. She stole something, so she should pay the price." Sakai Masao said casually and then raised his glass of red wine, "It's not easy to meet again. Don't let this kind of thing spoil your mood. Come, a thousand cups are not enough for a bosom friend."
The look in Wan Qianqian's eyes changed. She thought of the tracked information. Could it be that Koizumi Keiko stole that thing from her?
She raised her glass naturally and said with a smile, "Mr. Sakai is really knowledgeable."
After three rounds of drinking, Wan Qianqian was a little drunk. She stopped in time and directly refused Sakai Masao's offer to send her home. What a joke. If the jealous god at home knew about it, the washboard in the bathroom would be hers.
Sakai Masao, who showed great regret for not being able to send her home, still sent her downstairs. Wan Qianqian planned to stop a taxi and tell Wen Yuen to throw this big pot on them. Everything was perfect.
According to Murphy's Law, the more you were afraid of something, the more likely it would happen. When she was about to stop the taxi downstairs, a familiar license plate got closer and closer and finally stopped in front of her.
Before she came to her senses from the extremely terrifying familiarity, Wan Qianqian saw the face behind the car window darkening. In an instant, her blood flowed backward. She felt the cold air rushing from the soles of her feet to her brain, and her legs were a little trembling.
Damn it, what a coincidence that Gu Tanfeng would appear in this place!
