There are less than five hours until sunrise.
The Ao Sui Hotel next to the Ao Sui Racecourse remains under construction. No construction team will bear the consequences of disturbing the public at this time. Besides, the construction team is also human beings and naturally needs to sleep.
Maybe it was because I slept for too long, or maybe it was because the evening breeze was too cool.
After a gust of cool breeze blew across her cheeks and lifted a few strands of hair, Miyano Akemi wanted to raise her hand to brush away the naughty hair, but she did not complete the action. The part below her wrists could move freely, but the part above her wrists was tied up by something.
Was this a dream? Could it be sleep paralysis?
With doubts in her mind, Akemi Miyano slowly opened her eyes and looked at everything unfamiliar around her. She looked at the night view of Tokyo, and stretched her neck to see a flashing neon sign in the distance that read "see you tomorrow club". Below the sign, she could also see the word "Aoho".
Okuho-cho? How did I end up in a place like this… Where is this?
Her head felt a little dizzy, so she shook herself hard to wake herself up. Then she looked down at her hands and feet that were bound with chains. There was a metal lock on the outside of the chain, which could not be unlocked without a key.
Akemi Miyano realized that she had been kidnapped, and the person who kidnapped her might be related to the Beika Museum.
He was so angry that he kidnapped me because I refused a part-time job offer?
That's too overbearing.
Her refusal was very tactful, not arrogant. There was no reason for the other party to force her to work part-time in this way. Unless... they were already engaged in a shady business, and whether they agreed or refused, they would still be in this situation.
Akemi Miyano suddenly remembered that she was not visiting the Beika Museum alone. She looked around but did not see Sayuri Kakizaki. She felt relieved to think that her friend was not implicated by her.
But just when she relaxed her guard, she heard light footsteps from behind the door leading to the rooftop. If it weren't for the fact that the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard, she really wouldn't have noticed it.
Da, da...da.
Crunch——
The iron door was pushed open, and what appeared in front of Miyano Akemi was a small cart. On the cart was a transparent glass box, and in the box stood a strange man with his hands handcuffed and in a standing position.
The man had many wounds on his body and was not very conscious. It was obvious that he had been beaten by the gangsters. However, Akemi Miyano didn't understand why the gangsters would kidnap men.
Isn't it what you think?
As Yamada Gongkei was pushing the "goods" hard, he noticed that Saito Masami had woken up. He raised the corner of his lips, casually pushed the "goods" aside, and quickly approached the chips with a vigilant face:
"Huh? You're awake? It seems the anesthetic wasn't very effective. It doesn't match the time I expected."
There was no response to what he said, and Yamada Gongkei touched his chin with interest. He was very curious why Saito Masami didn't ask him. A normal girl should not react like this when encountering such a thing.
It's quite interesting. She is worthy of being the woman he likes. She is as interesting as he is.
Ignoring Saito Masami, Yamada Kimikei turned around and took out a bunch of things from the toolbox in the corner, and used a soft water pipe to connect the water tank on the hotel rooftop to the transparent glass box.
When Miyano Akemi saw this scene, she guessed what the criminal wanted to do. He wanted to pour water into the transparent glass box and drown the person in the box alive... This behavior was undoubtedly cruel.
After completing all these operations, Yamada Gongkei turned his head to look at Saito Masami who was staring at him. He played with the remote control in his hand, raised an eyebrow and asked:
"Aren't you curious about who I am? Aren't you curious about why I brought you to this place? Aren't you curious about what I'm going to do to this police officer?"
The three consecutive questions made Miyano Akemi realize that this person was eager to ask and was curious. His expression looked calm, but in fact there was a hint of dissatisfaction, which came from the fact that she did not show an expression of panic.
People with antisocial personality usually take pleasure in the suffering of others. When facing such people, staying calm is the best self-protection. You must not be led by their rhythm, and you must not show emotions that excite them.
Miyano Akemi shook her head calmly. There was no fear on her face at all, and her tone was even calmer, as if she was not the one being kidnapped:
"There's no point in being curious. If you want to ask and answer your own questions, I won't stop you."
Yamada Gongkei narrowed his eyes, suddenly losing interest in chatting. He didn't like chips that didn't know how to cooperate. Since the chips couldn't entertain him, he could only rely on the players' performance.
With an expressionless face, he took out a cigarette box from his pocket, lit a cigarette and leaned against the railing on the rooftop. He didn't want to be the unlucky guy who fell off the building before the game started... If that happened, he would probably be laughed to death by those guys.
He smoked one cigarette after another until the pack was empty, and then the sound came from the walkie-talkie on his waist.
"Boss, they are coming."
When Yamada Kimikei heard this, his eyes lit up. He threw the cigarette aside and quickly walked to the TV at the entrance of the rooftop. Like a magic trick, he took out a bag of still hot caramel popcorn, turned on the TV with the remote control, and the surveillance footage of the hotel lobby appeared.
The picture showed Fujiwara Yu and Matsuda Jinpei walking into the hotel cautiously. He licked his dry lips excitedly, grabbed a handful of caramel popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth. The crunching sound was irritating.
