Chapter 10 No. 13, Beihua Town



“No. 13…No. 13…”

5-chome 39, Yoneka-cho.

Sakaki Makoto was walking on the street, his eyes flashing across the house numbers on the roadside, looking for his own residence.

But the house numbers here really dazzled him, not because there were too many numbers, but because the way they were arranged was very unique.

Usually, house number 1 is at the intersection, and house numbers 2 and 3 are next.

But No. 39 is different. No. 1 is in the middle of the alley, opposite No. 2, and next door are No. 3 and 5.

This order of arrangement is like a pyramid.

Odd and even numbers are separated, with numbers 1 and 2 being the top of the tower, and numbers 3 and 5 on the next level next to number 1, followed by numbers 7 and 9.

As for house number 13, it is not far from house number 1, with only a few houses between them.

Number 5 is the Mouri Kogoro Detective Agency...

Number 9 is the Poirot Café...

No. 13...A slightly old residential building appeared in front of us.

The air conditioner outdoor unit was simply placed outside the wall, with wires tangled together for unknown purposes. Trash cans were piled up in the alley beside the building, and a few wild cats looked over vigilantly with their oily green eyes.

After realizing it was Makoto Sakaki, the wild cats put away their vigilance, meowed, and lay down at his feet very docilely.

As an animal lover, Makoto Sakaki would naturally not miss the opportunity to get something for free.

In the neighborhood where he lived before he traveled through time, all the wild cats in the neighborhood were stroked bald by him.

While I was playing with the cat, a middle-aged woman carrying a basket passed by.

"Ah! It's Mr. Sakaki Makoto!"

"You haven't been back for several days."

Sakaki Makoto stood up, scratched his head, and found that he didn't know the other person's name at all, so he could only call him "Oh Basang".

But it's a bit disrespectful...

I don't know if his brain crashed or what, but Sakaki Makoto actually called out, "Miss, what can I do for you?"

"Ah, calling me Miss or something like that, when did your mouth become so sweet!"

The middle-aged woman's face turned red, and she immediately covered her mouth and chuckled modestly, while also giving a wink.

Sakaki Makoto's face turned pale, and he felt that he had made a very serious mistake.

"Ahh, I'm just going home."

He quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, that's what I was going to tell you!"

The middle-aged woman reacted.

"When you were not at home a few days ago, several men in black sneaked to your door. I don't know what they were doing."

“I was afraid it was a thief, so I called the police, but when I came back they had left.”

"You'd better be careful."

Sakaki Makoto's heart trembled. Man in black? !

There were also two men in black sitting in the Porsche 356a that I saw this afternoon!

They must be in the same group.

And there seem to be quite a few...

He came to my house specially, he must have bad intentions...

Thinking of this, Sakaki Makoto felt that he could not go home through normal means, so he turned his attention to the alley on the side.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

After saying this, Sakaki Makoto walked towards the alley.

"She called me Miss just now..." The middle-aged woman curled her lips and went upstairs with the basket.

................

The height of the trash can is 1.2 meters.

The thickness of each wall brick is about 20 cm.

My height is 1.83 meters.

The height from the ground to the lowest air-conditioning outdoor unit is 4 meters.

The alley is 1.6 meters wide.

In other words, you need to make two turns between the two walls to cross a distance of nearly 1 meter.

It's not that difficult...

Sakaki Makoto stretched his arms and legs, pushed the trash can under the air conditioner, took a run-up and jumped, stepped on the trash can, kicked the wall with his left and right feet, drew an arc in the air, and firmly grasped the supporting column under the air conditioner!

After much effort, Sakaki Makoto finally climbed to the third floor.

301 is the number on his key.

In ordinary residential buildings, the stairs are built on the right side. After going up, you will reach Room 1, which is exactly on the side corresponding to the alley.

Sakaki Makoto carefully exposed half of his head and looked inside through the dusty window.

Silent and dark.

Not a single person.

Sakaki Makoto breathed a sigh of relief. After making sure it was safe, he returned the way he came and jogged up the stairs.

Insert the key into the keyhole and turn it.

Click!

The dusty door was open, and inside was the entrance hall. On the ground was a pair of men's slippers with the toes facing outwards, which were left behind by someone when he left.

There is only a pair of men's leather shoes in the shoe cabinet, which means that only one person lives in this house.

And this person is him.

Sakaki Makoto breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, a sister he didn't know ran away from home, otherwise he would have been exposed immediately.

In addition, there was a letter on the ground. The envelope was blank, with neither the sender's name nor the recipient's address.

It could only have been put in by the other party himself.

Thinking of the sneaky person the middle-aged woman mentioned a few days ago, it is not difficult to guess the origin of this letter.

It turned out to be delivering a letter.

Sakaki Makoto changed into slippers, took the letter and walked into the living room. The floor was littered with leftover lunch boxes, which made him frown.

711 convenience store discount sale....

It seems that the original body eats cheap lunch boxes from convenience stores every day, which cost 380 yen.

After 10 o'clock in the evening, the remaining bento boxes will be sold at half price.
