"Um, hello, big sister. I can't find the washroom. Can you bring me there?"
Koizumi Keiko's eyes lit up. Her eyes moved from Wan Xinyi to the guards on both sides.
The two men were in a difficult position. Prisoners were not allowed to wander around. "Little girl, where are your parents?"
"They got separated. I'm really in a hurry right now. Please help me, I'm really begging you!"
"This …"
Seeing that the two men were still hesitating, Koizumi Keiko put on a straight face and said seriously, "What's wrong with a lost child asking for help? How can you be so heartless? The washroom is also inside the court. Are you afraid that I'll run away?"
There was no way she could run away. The order they received was to watch over Koizumi Keiko. "But …"
"Alright, just pretend that I'm going to the washroom, okay? Humans have three needs. You can't stop me from going, right? "
The two men were hesitant. They whispered to each other and finally came to a conclusion. "Alright, please wait for a moment. I'll get a female staff to follow you. It's our duty to be responsible to the police station. Please forgive us."
When she dragged Wan Xinyi to the washroom, a middle-aged Caucasian woman in her forties followed her.
No, Wan Qianqian must have something to say to me. I have to get rid of this eyesore.
She stopped and was about to say something when Wan Xinyi suddenly pulled her forward. "Big sister, hurry up. I can't hold it anymore. Let's go!"
As she spoke, she felt Wan Xinyi's little hand moving around in her palm. She was reading a few English words again and again.
Wan Xinyi was warning her not to act recklessly!
Koizumi Keiko could only give up on her plan. She quietly walked towards the washroom, stealing glances at Wan Xinyi from time to time along the way.
She always knew that her student was smarter than her peers, but she didn't expect her to be this smart.
The three of them arrived at the washroom. Wan Xinyi nodded and walked in. Koizumi Keiko didn't know the plan, so she waited in front of the sink. At that moment, two women walked out. One of them was Wan Qianqian! She pretended to nod as if she didn't know them and moved a little to the side.
"Oh, I heard that you bought a new bag recently. The sky blue one is a limited edition, right? It's so pretty. I remember you were holding it when you went to the beach."
Wan Qianqian replied naturally. "Of course. My husband just bought it for me a few days ago. I can't lose such an expensive thing. I'm going to tattoo it with my name in a few days."
The sky blue, the limited edition bag, and the name embroidered on the bag. All these news made Koizumi Keiko excited. She didn't expect the bag to fall into Wan Qianqian's hands. She lowered her head to hide her expression.
When Wen Yuen bent down to wash her hands, she glanced at the woman's expression. She obviously knew what they were talking about. "Sigh, I have a strange story for you. A few days ago, I went to Seton Beach and picked up a doll. I don't know who left it there."
"Is it still with you?"
"Yeah, I have a feeling that there's something strange about it. I have a feeling that it's going to cause me trouble, but I don't know what to do now."
Wan Qianqian said firmly, "No matter who it belongs to, you should keep it safe. When the owner comes, you can give it to him. Keep it safe and don't lose it. Wait for the owner to come."
"You don't have to tell me that. I'm the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others."
At that moment, the washroom door opened, and Wan Xinyi walked out. "Mom! Auntie! You're here! "
"Ah, baby, I've been looking for you for a long time, but I couldn't find you. You've made me so worried."
Wan Xinyi avoided Wan Qianqian's affectionate touch and held her hand to Koizumi Keiko. "Mom, it was this auntie who brought me back."
"Thank you so much. I was so worried when I couldn't find my child."
Perhaps because of what happened earlier, she still hadn't calmed down. She smiled. "It's fine. I should be the one thanking you."
Wan Qianqian was stunned, but she quickly recovered. She nodded and left with the group.
At that moment, the auntie who was watching over Koizumi Keiko frowned and complained in confusion, "They're a bunch of weirdos. What are they talking about? I don't understand a single word! Let's go, let's go back! "
After dinner.
"There's an update at the police station regarding the black man's murder case."
Wan Qianqian, who was folding clothes, was instantly attracted over. "Have they found the murderer?"
Gu Tanfeng stopped what he was doing and asked her seriously, "Do you know that our town has recently opened an underground casino?"
"It's illegal." That was the first keyword that popped up in her mind.
When she went to look for Koizumi Keiko, the auntie there had told her about it. At that time, she didn't think much of it and thought it was just gossip. She didn't expect it to be true. There really was an underground casino?!
"That's not important. The casino was established by the mafia and the government. We just need to stay away from it."
Wan Qianqian also knew that this was overseas, not in the country. Even if it was in the country, there was no need to stand out like this.
"Where is the casino? Why don't I feel anything? "
Logically speaking, since there was an underground casino, the traffic flow and various other things would change.
"It's at the edge of the town, near St. Belle."
It was really a one-stop service. After playing there, she went straight to the hotel to sleep.
She nodded to show that she understood. "What does the casino have to do with the murder of the black man?"
"This man's name is Cook. He has a criminal record and owes a lot of gambling debts. Because he can't pay them back, he often steals things. He is a frequent visitor to the police station. On the night of the incident, he gambled in this newly opened underground casino. The police suspect that he was chased by the local mafia because he couldn't pay back his gambling debts."
Since it was an underground casino, it must be illegal. It was a casino run by a group of outlaws. If you want to take money from them, it was reasonable for Cook to end up like this.
However, what concerned Wan Qianqian was a detail mentioned in the newspaper. It was that Cook had been tortured before. She felt that things weren't that simple.
She couldn't help but confirm again. "So, this has nothing to do with Koizumi Keiko?"
Could it be that Sakai Masao was involved in this casino?
Gu Tanfeng chose his words carefully. "No, it's a little bit related."
Her eyes widened as she waited for him to continue talking about that tiny bit of relationship.
"I found a problem when I was investigating recently. Before this Cook died, he met a Japanese man named Kazuki Fuuma. According to the black man's friend, the two of them had an argument in the bathroom of the casino at midnight. Then, the black man left angrily. Soon after he left, he was killed. After his death was discovered, it was reported in the newspaper."
Wan Qianqian sorted out the entire incident and asked, "You mean the police suspect that Kazuki Fuuma was responsible for the black man's death?"
"Yes, that's what I suspected."
After investigating this man named Kazuki Fuuma, the police began to investigate all the people who entered the country. Then, they found that there was no such person in the entire town or even the whole of Ottawa, which meant that this man should be a stowaway.
Then, the local government contacted Japan, and they showed that Kazuki Fuuma had died in February of this year.
She covered her head. "Wait, so the Kazuki Fuuma that the black man saw was a dead man?"
"In this world, the dead can't argue with others. There are only two possibilities for this. The first is that Kazuki Fuuma has already died, and the stowaway here is using a fake identity. The second is that Kazuki Fuuma faked his death in Japan and came here. "
He suggested a third possibility. "Maybe that friend is lying to you."
"No, she has neither the motive nor the guts. If there's really a mistake, then we're overthinking things. Not every Japanese is related to Koizumi Keiko. Maybe this Kazuki Fuuma is just an ordinary person who got involved in a case. "
Wan Qianqian felt like her head was about to explode. The truth of the case had to be investigated, and the two of them were trying their best to guess what was going on. She hugged her knees and curled up into a ball. "Damn the embassy receipt. Otherwise, we could have just asked Koizumi Keiko if we had any questions. Why do we have to work so hard? Besides, this has nothing to do with us. Why do we have to help? "
Gu Tanfeng listened to her complaints with a smile on his face. She was the type of person who would feel uncomfortable if she didn't meddle in other people's business, so she was just complaining.
"I really can't solve this problem with the receipt. Even so, you're not allowed to look for Sakai Masao again."
"As expected, you still care about this matter! We're just having a normal meal … "Wan Qianqian picked up the phone next to her as she spoke.
Gu Tanfeng retorted, unwilling to admit defeat. "That's just what you think."
The phone was so noisy that she couldn't hear it clearly. She pressed the speaker button and yelled, "Wan Xinyi, what are you doing? Aren't you sleeping?!"
"Mom, save me! I'm in the basement, hurry up …"
Wan Xinyi's panicked voice didn't leave any words, and the phone returned to the noisy environment. After a loud groan from Xinyue Wan, the call ended. The phone was hung up, and only the cold beeping sound could be heard.
