Chapter 408: Visiting the Beastman
Outside Fengdu Prison.
The two motorcycles drove to the gate of Fengdu Prison and slowly stopped.
Shotaro Zuo took off his helmet, turned over and got off the Tough Guy, looked at the gate of Fuuto Prison, and said with a sigh, "I never thought that Ou Yasan's partner would be the first customer of the museum. No wonder Ou Yasan suddenly got angry and kicked me out when I mentioned Spider-Man."
"After all, Odo-san personally sent his best partner to prison." Ming Hai Yajuko got off Terui Ryu's motorcycle with a complicated expression.
"Ming Hai Shouji? He seems like an extraordinary man. I really want to meet him." Terui Ryu took off his helmet and said.
"I say, if I hear something like this, is it really okay?" Sudo Kirihiko got down from the back seat of the Tough Guy and said with a wry smile.
Ming Hai Shouji has recovered his memory and is secretly lurking in Consortium X to gather information.
This explosive news made his scalp tingle.
"We are companions, aren't we? We should trust our companions." Shotaro Sae patted Sudo Kirihiko on the shoulder, then picked up the hat hanging on the side of the Tough Guy, put it on his head, and walked towards the Fuuto Prison in front of him.
"Companions..." Sudo Kirihiko felt a little warm in his heart when he heard this.
"Anyway, let's go visit Ou Yasang's partner first, and then go pick up the client." Shotaro Zuo was full of energy.
This is the commission given to him by Ou Yasang, and he must complete it with Hard Boiled.
With Zhao Jinglong's intervention, they were able to avoid some troublesome procedures and visit the prison directly.
After entering Fuuto Prison, Shotaro Sa looked around the scene inside Fuuto Prison and asked, "Come to think of it, those memory criminals we defeated are basically imprisoned here, right?"
"Well, those memory criminals will be sent here to jail after being sentenced." Terui Ryu walked in front and answered lightly.
"That means we might run into someone we know here?" Ming Hai Yashu asked in surprise.
"Aki-chan, it's not a good thing to meet an acquaintance in prison. You know, when enemies meet, they will be extremely jealous of each other." Sudo Kirihiko interrupted with a smile.
"No, except for visiting, eating and exercise time, the prisoners are basically kept in their cells." Terui Ryu explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Xiangtaro couldn't help but touch his chin. Enemy?
Come to think of it, considering that he has solved so many cases so far, it doesn't seem surprising that he has enemies.
Maybe, they will come to assassinate him?
Shotaro Zuo was beaming with joy, completely lost in his own fantasy.
"Okay, we're here." Zhao Jinglong brought a few people to the visiting room.
Terui Ryu's voice also brought Shotaro Zuo back to his senses from his delusion. He coughed lightly, walked quickly to the seat and sat down, looking at the man sitting in the room, who was wearing glasses and had a slightly thin face.
"Who are you?" Matsui Seiichiro looked at Shotaro Sae and asked in confusion.
"I'm Shotaro Sae, the disciple of Shokichi Narumi." Shotaro Sae introduced himself.
"Shoji's apprentice. I have heard from Shoji that he is a kind-hearted boy, but he is not very mature in doing things." Matsui Seiichiro looked at Shotaro Sae, couldn't help but smile, and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Xiangtaro touched his nose in embarrassment.
"Pfft!" Ming Hai Yashu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When Matsui Seiichiro heard the laughter, he turned around and was also stunned when he saw the appearance of Narumi Akiko.
"Same, so similar. Melissa..." Matsui Seiichiro whispered.
"Eh? What did you say?" Shotaro Zuo didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing. This child should be Shokichi's daughter." Matsui Seiichiro looked at Ming Hai Akiko gently and asked.
"Oh, yes." Shotaro Sae nodded.
"Uncle Matsui." Ming Hai Yashu greeted him obediently.
"Okay, okay." Matsui Seiichiro couldn't help laughing, and then asked, "How is Zhuang Guitar?"
"It's okay. There was an accident some time ago and I couldn't come to see you, so you asked us to come and see you." Shotaro Zuo explained quickly.
"So that's how it is. I thought something happened to Zhuang Jita." Seiichiro Matsui also breathed a sigh of relief.
Ming Hai Shokichi used to visit him often, but in the past one or two years he hasn't come once. He thought something had happened to Ming Hai Shokichi.
"Oyasanto, let me ask you when you will be released from prison. He will come to pick you up when you are released." said Zuo Xiangtaro.
"The shortest is half a year, and the longest is no more than one year," said Seiichiro Matsui.
"I understand. I will tell Ou Yasang the truth." Shotaro Zuo nodded.
Afterwards, Shotaro Sa chatted with Akiko Narumi and Seiichiro Matsui for a while before leaving the visiting room.
"Let's go and pick up another client." said Shotaro Zuo.
……
"Isamu Bito, your sentence has expired. Pack up your things and you can be released from prison." The prison guard opened the door of a cell and shouted to a middle-aged man with a weathered face inside.
"Has it been ten years?" Upon hearing this, Oto Isami got off his bed, packed up his clothes in prison, changed into an old suit and a pair of wooden clogs from ten years ago, and walked out of the prison.
"Oh my god, what a fierce uncle! Is he the client of Odo-san?" When Akiko Narumi saw Oto Isami on his way out of prison, she quickly hid behind Shotaro Sae and said.
"There is no other person named Bito Isami in this Fuuto Prison." said Terui Ryu.
"Just go up and ask." Shotaro touched the brim of his hat, walked up quickly, and asked, "Are you Bito Isao, Mr. Bito?"
"It's me, who is it?" Oto Isamu glanced at Shotaro Zuo and asked in confusion.
"I am Shotaro Sae, the apprentice of Shokichi Narumi." said Shotaro Sae.
"The apprentice of Mr. Ming Hai Shouji? You are just a half-baked person?" Oto Isami looked Shotaro Sa up and down and asked doubtfully.
"I'm so angry! We just met!"
"Where is Mr. Shokichi Narumi? When he came to see me before, he said he was helping me investigate, and that he would use the results of the investigation to congratulate me on my release from prison." Oto Isami looked around and did not see Shokichi Narumi nearby.
"Ou Yasang encountered a very troublesome matter and cannot get away for the time being, so he asked us to complete the unfinished commission of Ou Yasang." Shotaro Zuo explained.
"You're just a half-baked person, stay out of my own way!" Oto Isamu raised his eyes to look at Shotaro Zuo, then raised his hand and tapped Shotaro Zuo's forehead.
"It hurts!" Zuo Xiangtaro covered his forehead and sat down on the ground.
Oto Isami threw the gray bag in his hand behind him, walked past Shotaro Sato, and headed out of Fuuto Prison.
"Hey! Bito-san, wait for me!" Shotaro Sae quickly got up from the ground and stopped Bito Isamu.
Oto Isami looked at Shotaro Sa and said impatiently, "I've already said that this matter doesn't need a half-baked person like you to get involved. I've waited for ten years, so a few days won't make a difference. When Mr. Ming Hai Shouji is free, come and see me."
He didn't want to involve Shotaro Sa.
"Since Ou Yasang has given me this commission, I must complete it no matter what." Zuo Xiangtaro said seriously.
"If you want to follow me, just follow me." Wei Tengyong snorted lightly, but did not refuse.
"It seems that Zuo has been dealt with. Then, Director, please come back to the office with me. I need to borrow Philip and ask him to search for information about the Beast Man." Terui Ryu looked at Zuo Shotaro who was following behind Bito Isami, turned to Narumi Akiko beside him, and said.
"Okay." Ming Hai Yashuzi nodded and agreed.
"Beastman? This seems to be an urban legend that has been circulating for ten years." Sudo Kirihiko thought for a moment, then turned to look at Terui Ryu and said, "Do you think that is Dopant?"
"Yeah." Terui Ryu nodded.
"Maybe the commission that Ming Hai Shokichi gave us is also related to this beast man. I'll follow him and take a look." Sudo Kirihiko glanced at Zuo Shoutaro and Bidou Isami who were about to walk out of the prison, and hurriedly followed them.
After leaving Fuuto Prison, a breeze blew on his face. This familiar breeze made Oto Isamu miss it quite a bit.
"It's been a long time since I last felt the wind of the world."
With his hands in his pockets, Oto Isamu walked along the right sidewalk towards Temple Street.
However, before he walked far, a newspaper was blown to his feet by the wind.
Wei Tengyong bent down, picked up the flying newspaper and was about to throw it away, but when he thought about the fact that he had been in prison for ten years and didn't know much about the outside world, it would be good to learn about the current situation through the newspaper, so he decided to take a closer look.
But, with just a glance, Oto Isami saw the news about the beastmen reported in the newspaper.
Beastman?
Could it be that……
Thinking of this possibility, Wei Tengyong's expression suddenly became serious, and his pace couldn't help but quicken.
……
Temple Street.
"Nothing has changed around here." Wei Tengyong looked at the familiar scenery of Temple Street, his eyes full of nostalgia.
"Isamu Oto, 41 years old. He looks like someone from Oya-san's generation. When I see this man, my heart is filled with excitement. I have a feeling that my life is going to undergo tremendous changes. Haha!" Shotaro Sae touched his chin and showed a self-satisfied expression.
"Snapped!"
Oto Isami looked back at Shotaro Sae who had been muttering to himself, and walked straight to Shotaro Sae who had his eyes closed, and flicked his finger between Shotaro Sae's eyebrows.
"It hurts!" Shotaro Zuo covered his forehead and came to his senses.
"You're making so much noise with your mumbling, kid." Oto Isamu looked at Shotaro Sa and warned him, "Listen carefully, if you want to follow me, it's up to you, but you better be quiet."
After saying that, Wei Teng Yong walked to the stall nearby and said, "Hey, little brother."
"welcome!"
"Can I ask you two questions?"
"Sure." The young stall owner nodded.
"I'm Oto who used to have a stall around here, my little brother Mal, uh no, where should I go if I want to meet Arima Maruo?" Oto Isami asked.
"No, I don't know that person." The stall owner's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly shook his head and said.
"Xiao Xiang!" The intelligence house turned around and waved at Zuo Xiangtaro.
Hearing someone calling him, Shotaro Zuo turned his head and saw the intelligence house waving at him with a smile.
"Oh, isn't this the information house?" Shotaro Sae walked up to the information house, looked at the food in his hand, and asked, "Why are you...ah, taking pictures for the food blog again?"
"Yes, I just heard your conversation. The man named Arima is the president in charge of this construction industry." said the Intelligence House.
"President? Mal?" asked Oto Isamu in surprise.
"Yes, I heard that he is a man who will do anything to achieve his goal. No one who goes against him will have a good ending." The Intelligence House nodded and replied.
Upon hearing this, Wei Tengyong's expression became even more gloomy.
"There's no doubt about it. This guy named Arima Maruo is most likely the Dopant, maybe even the beastman." Sudo Kirihiko observed the changing expression of Oto Isami and combined with the information provided by the intelligence house, Sudo Kirihiko also made a judgment.
After getting Arima Maruo's address from the intelligence house, Oto Isami turned around and left Temple Street and went to Arima Maruo's high-end apartment.
And Sudo Kirihiko also told Shotaro Sa about his guess.
"Beast man?" Shotaro Zuo rubbed the brim of his hat with his fingertips, and a gleam of wisdom flashed in his eyes.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Arima Maruo's apartment. Oto Isami tidied his clothes and rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door of the apartment was pushed open, and a mature woman in a palm-colored kimono, when she saw Wei Tengyong standing in front of the door, also said in surprise: "Brother Sam!"
"Bell, long time no see." said Wei Teng Yong.
"Sam and Bell? What is this..." Shotaro Zuo complained.
Oto Isao looked back at Shotaro Sae, then raised his hand and tapped Shotaro Sae on the forehead.
"It hurts!" Shotaro Zuo cried out, covering his forehead.
"These are the old nicknames. Sam from Yong, Bell from Suzuko, and the other one is my younger brother Arima Maruo, who was named Mal based on the homophony of the word 'Maru'. Sam, Bell and Mal." Oto Yong explained lightly.
"Yada, why do I feel a little embarrassed?" You Ma Lingzi smiled shyly and invited him, "Come in, please."
"Okay." Wei Tengyong walked in.
Shotaro Zuo covered his forehead with his hands and followed him in with a look of realization on his face.
Sudo Kirihiko also followed in and closed the door.
Walking into the hall, Otogi looked at the shogi chess pieces placed on the tatami in the middle of the hall and said, "Let's play shogi as usual."
"This is practice for losing properly. To please that person." Arima Suzuko said with a smile.
"Mal...is your husband okay?" asked Wei Teng Yong.
"Very good." A slightly rough voice came from a man in a gray striped suit, with a strong back and a full beard, looking at Wei Teng Yong and congratulating him, "Mr. Wei Teng, congratulations on your release from prison."
However, the provocative expression on his face did not show any congratulations.
"Mal..."
"This will bother me a lot. What Mal and Bell? We are not children anymore. We are a couple with status now." Arima Maruo walked forward, put his arm around Arima Suzuko's shoulders, and said sarcastically.
"My dear, it's a rare occasion for someone to visit us, so it's not nice to use such a tone..." You Ma Lingzi advised.
"Suzuko, shut up!" Arima Maruo grabbed Arima Suzuko's shoulders with a bad tone and threw her to the ground.
"Mal, Tieme!" Upon seeing this, Oto Isamu reached out and grabbed Arima Maruo by the collar.
"Sam!"
"Can you please go back?" Arima Maruo broke away from Oto Isami's hand, straightened his collar, and said disdainfully: "If I associate with someone like you, strange rumors will spread."
"I have heard some strange rumors about wild beasts." Oto Isamu looked into Arima Maruo's eyes and said coldly.
"Listen, if you're still making Bell cry now, don't blame me later."
“Hahaha!” Arima Maruo suddenly burst into laughter and pointed at Oto Isami, saying, “Are you going to go and cry to that detective again? I heard that he died a long time ago.”
"What did you say?"
"Or did he leave any relics for you?"
"Ah, there should be." Shotaro Sae, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"You mean that one? That one."
"Who are you?" Arima Maruo asked as he looked at Shotaro Sae who was walking towards him.
"I'm a detective, the chief disciple of Ming Hai Shouji. If you're talking about that, I know it very well." Shotaro Sae played with the hat in his hand, looked at Arima Maruo, then patted Bidou Isao on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, Bidou-san."
Oto Isamu glanced at Arima Maruo, picked up the bag on the ground, turned around and followed Shotaro Sato away.
