There is only one hospital in the village, and there is only an old doctor with white hair and a youthful face, who looks very well maintained.
After a conversation, I found out that the other party had basically spent his youth in Tokyo, and now that he is older, he has returned to his hometown to return to his roots.
Because there was no doctor in the village, he opened a small clinic in his hometown to make it convenient for everyone to see a doctor, and at the same time to avoid being idle.
Because there are not many people in the village, and the illnesses they suffer are common among the elderly, life is relatively leisurely.
However, perhaps because he had been away from home for so many years, he seemed to be separated from the village by an invisible barrier.
So when they met Tang Ze and others, they did not feel xenophobic. Instead, they seemed very enthusiastic and asked about the changes in Tokyo. After a conversation, the two sides quickly became familiar with each other.
"By the way, I heard that the village was almost demolished before?" Tang Ze watched the doctor prescribe medicine for Takagi and began to inquire about the situation in the village.
"Ah, that's true. If it weren't for you, the village would have been submerged in the lake by now." The doctor replied casually as he wrapped the medicine in a small piece of paper.
"Almost drowned in the lake?" Tang Ze feigned interest and asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"
"Those guys in Tokyo wanted to turn the village into a dam."
The doctor smiled proudly and said, "It was the master who led people to negotiate with them, and finally prevented the village from being submerged in the lake, and took the lead in building dams to prevent flooding.
It can be said that it was because of the master that we fought against the bureaucrats that the village is what it is today."
"So this kind of thing has happened." Tang Ze thanked the other party and said, "I wonder where I can find the master now?"
"I wonder what you want from me?" At this moment, a man in a suit with gray hair walked in and asked Tang Ze.
"Who are you?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at the man and asked.
"The current village chief." The man introduced himself and looked at Tang Ze and asked, "You haven't told me what you want from me yet?"
"I just want to ask you something in person." Tang Ze ignored the other party's aggressive tone and smiled casually.
"For the missing woman?"
The village chief asked, then said, "That's exactly why I called you here. Please call your companion to the inn as well. I'll explain everything."
"I understand." Hearing the other party say this, Tang Ze nodded calmly, then took out his cell phone and contacted Jing Zhishu: "We will go over after we get the cold medicine."
"That's it for now." Seeing that Tang Ze was calling someone on the phone, the village chief did not stay for long. After delivering the message, he left.
After Karasawa finished his call with Kamii Naoki, Takagi walked out of the clinic with the medicine and couldn't help but ask, "What should we do now? It looks like they're up to no good."
"Just counter your moves. If you plan to lie low first, I'd love for you to do that." Tang Ze smiled nonchalantly and said, "You don't think that these people can kill the three of us by force, do you?"
"Uh..." Thinking of Tang Ze's skills, Gao Mu felt that he might have to worry about the old men on the opposite side...
It seems that only the owner of the specimen museum is younger, and most people seen in the village are old people with gray hair...
Even though there are quite a few middle-aged people, that's not enough for Tang Ze to fight...
After seeing Naoki Kamii who had hurriedly returned, he discovered that Shihu and Takagi held the same attitude.
He was clearly going to the hotel for an appointment, but he walked out of the "Hongmen Feast" posture...
Entering the hotel, seeing the hotel owner, the specimen museum director, the village chief and the dense crowd behind them, the two men felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
It was as if they were on guard against the village chief smashing the cup as a signal and several warriors jumping out to chop the three people.
Although Tang Ze appeared calm on the surface, he had actually been on high alert and could take out the ceremonial clothes at any time.
Confidence and arrogance are not the same thing, and Tang Ze doesn't want to fail miserably.
But what they didn't expect was that the next moment, everyone, led by the village chief, bowed 90 degrees to apologize to Tang Ze and the other two.
"I'm so sorry! I've caused you all so much trouble! Please forgive me!!"
Seeing this sudden reversal, the three of them didn't even react for a moment.
However, Tang Ze had seen many storms like this before, and he quickly came to his senses.
He politely walked over and helped everyone on the opposite side up one by one, while asking:
"You are all so kind. To be honest, I am still confused. I don't know what your intention is in doing this."
"Actually, we all lied." The village chief looked at Uei Naoki apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. Yesterday we said you were the only guest in our village, but in fact there was another woman."
Naoki Kamii's face lit up when he heard the other party admit it. He never expected that the other party would admit to deceiving him so quickly. Does that mean the matter is resolved?
"What's going on? Why are you lying?"
Naoki Kamii, who was eager to know the truth, immediately started asking, but soon this young rookie who had just graduated from the police academy saw the darkness of society.
"It's a misfortune for our family..."
Upon hearing this, the village chief sighed and said, "Actually, all of this is my fault. To be honest, that woman is my niece.
Her parents died early, and I raised her by myself..."
"Wait..." Before the village chief could say anything else, Kamii Naoki was confused: "Niece?"
"Well, she married and moved to Tokyo two years ago." The village chief sighed, "But her husband abused her, and she couldn't stand the beatings anymore, so she ran back."
Well, domestic violence is quite common in Japan, and the rate is increasing every year.
The Metropolitan Police Department also has corresponding protection measures. As long as you apply for protection, after you move to a new place to settle down, the patrol officers in the area will keep your situation confidential while also giving you special care and protection to prevent you from being caught up by domestic abusers again and having your new life disturbed.
However, this is only applied by some desperate people. Many people subconsciously run back to their parents' home to seek shelter as soon as possible.
However, this is not the point now. After hearing the village chief's words, Naoki Kamii was stunned.
He had never imagined that she was actually married and so unhappy, but at the time he didn't see any sadness in her...
No, could it be that she found out about his criminal identity and asked him if he had a gun because she felt insecure?
So that's why he approached me? To get my protection?
Because the impact of this news was too great, Naoki Kamii was extremely confused for a while.
