white night syndrome

Chapter 155 123. Ah no!You want to treat me to conveyor belt sushi! (Ask for the first order on the shelves! Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a reward!)
【Kyoto Channel 0】

"That's it. (*noise) (*the sound of the phone hanging up) (*long blocking tone) (*quiet)"

When the Highlander passed the gate, a strange but familiar electric sound came from the damaged car stereo. Li Ming helped his forehead covered in cold sweat, panting heavily to calm his mood.

Mika Kurosawa beside her had already driven the Highlander to the side of the road, lying on the steering wheel, feeling grateful for her narrow escape.

The side of her right arm still bears the scar from being scratched by the strange creatures behind her because of slowing down. She let Highlander stand by the side of the road in a casual posture, looking at the few people coming and going, unable to get out of it for a long time. Came back from the previous nightmare.

Li Ming has been looking out of the car window, he turned his head and glanced at the road they passed by, at a glance, the fog cleared away, and only a spacious road appeared in his vision.

"It was just a white dream, right?"

Mika Kurosawa beside her picked up two bottles of mineral water from the side of the car door, took a swig by herself, and said with lingering fear.

As soon as she finished speaking, Kurosawa realized that something was wrong. She took out a silver necklace from the storage box on the side of the car door with great effort. If she looked carefully, she could see a red diamond inlaid on the front of the necklace. Kurosawa took it out Pass it to Li Ming.

"What is this?" Li Ming took it with some hesitation, and put it on his neck under Kuisawa's gaze.

"The items I exchanged with dream points can temporarily ignore prohibited items for a fixed period of time." Kuisawa continued to drink mineral water, and after drinking the cold liquid, her mental state eased slightly visible to the naked eye, "I just forgot to give you gone."

"Your ng is language. With this, you don't have to worry too much, but let me say first, I don't have enough dream points, so I can only exchange them for three days. If you get used to normal life on the fourth day Then trigger ng to die, that's none of my business."

After saying these words, Kurosawa handed one of the bottles of mineral water to the young man in front of him.

"Thank you." Li Ming took the water bottle and did not unscrew it, but looked forward in a dazed way, with a worried look on his face, "It must be a white dream, we cannot have hallucinations, but when did this white dream come from? What started triggering? We are not even aware of the white dream trigger, so can we still be survivors of white night syndrome?"

"Survivor? What do you mean?" Kurosawa raised his eyebrows, and adjusted the skirt of his lower half of the cheongsam. When he found that it was soaked, he turned his head away with a look of shame.

But Li Ming was still immersed in memories, and didn't notice the current situation. He carefully recalled everything he had experienced in the past. Except for those channels that became more and more crazy, he really couldn't think of any trigger points related to white dreams. .

Is it a gate?
Li Ming subconsciously glanced at the screen of the car audio, he remembered that at the very beginning, this Highlander flashed the logo of the hunter organization, could it be because of this logo that the white dream was triggered?So that means...

"Hmm...it's nothing, didn't you say that our destination for a while is Lizhi University? Let's go quickly." Li Ming shook his head slightly, he still didn't have any trust in Kurosawa Mika, right now I can only think about it when I know the details of the other party, "I don't want to stay here any longer, what if those creatures that only exist in the white dream world come to attack us again?"

"makes sense."

Kurosawa had no choice but to divert his attention from the drenched cheongsam skirt. After starting the Highlander, he quickly drove forward.

"But let's find a hotel to stay for a while, and go to Lizhi University tomorrow. Don't you still have some friends you want to meet? I want to change clothes here."

Kuisawa's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally screamed like a mosquito. Li Ming glanced at the girl's cheongsam, understood everything instantly, and nodded silently.

The two were silent all the way. Although Kurosawa was very unfamiliar with Ikebukuro, after experiencing the Baimeng incident before, she still chose to explore based on her own feelings. She no longer wanted to rely on Highlander's car navigation system, let alone touch What is that purple star.

The Highlander bumped and twisted for two hours before stopping in front of a not-so-luxury hotel. During this period, Miss Kurosawa even pulled herself off to ask passers-by the name and location of the hotel they searched on Google, but in the end they got Li Ming couldn't help laughing at the answer that the hotel had been closed for several years.

When he was about to get off the car, Li Ming's cell phone rang suddenly, he turned on the cell phone with some doubts and looked at it, but it was his friend from Ikebukuro who he had contacted on LINE before.

"Wait a minute, Kurosawa, let's go to this place first."

After replying with an "OK" emoji, Li Ming finally smiled, nudged Kurosawa who was anxiously getting out of the car with his elbow, and showed her the phone screen.

"Oh? Your friend?" Kurosawa showed an impatient face, and continued to pack the small things he carried with him nonchalantly, "Can't you wait until we book the hotel and then go in and pack your clothes before going? Really ..."

"It can't be helped, Ms. Kurosawa, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and her schedule is still not fixed, and she didn't see anyone when she came here before." Li Ming paused, raised his brows, and had a deep look. Evil humor arises spontaneously, "I can't wait to meet up to reminisce about the old days, and the other party is a girl, I believe Miss Kurosawa will also find a common topic,"

"Girl? I can't see that you are quite popular with women."

Hei Ze could hear the main point of Li Ming's words at once, with a sarcasm in his tone, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't tell why he was feeling uncomfortable.

"get off."

The tone was strong, and Li Ming, who wanted to explode his anger from nowhere, suddenly reacted, he grinned, nodded to himself, then opened the car door on the left hand side, and walked outside.

Looking at the back of Li Ming leaving, Kurosawa heaved a sigh of relief. She glanced at the suitcase on the rear driver's seat. While secretly cursing the young man who had just left, she took out a change of clothes from the suitcase and pointed at the suitcase. The rearview mirrors started to change.

Thinking of the creatures that came from the depths of the mist before, Kurosawa felt a little terrified. She shuddered inexplicably, looking at the white legs exposed to the air at the hem of the cheongsam, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

If she could, she would never want to take that highway again in her life.

But why is the white dream suddenly triggered?
I clearly remember that Channel Eleven said on the radio before that it is basically impossible for patients with white night syndrome to trigger white dreams for a period of time after seeing a doctor, but what is going on with them?
Thinking carefully about the problem, Kurosawa felt his brain was in a mess, he shook his head self-servingly, and put such thoughts behind him.

Since I can't figure it out, I don't want to think about it. After all, there will be a long period of time to fight against such a disease. If I give up at this time, I'm afraid I will...

Pulling down the handle of the car door on the right, Kurosawa poked her head out, breathing the fresh air outside, glanced at Li Ming who was humming a little song and fiddling with her phone, her voice was a little low.

"Don't you still want to see your female friend? Then get in the car quickly. If you are not in the co-pilot within 5 minutes, I will drive away by myself."

bad woman.

Li Ming snorted softly, walked to the left side of the Highlander, opened the door, sat firmly on the co-pilot and took off the seat belt. All the measures were completed within 3 minutes.

"Let's go, let's go."

During the drive, he was silent all the way, and Li Ming was a little drowsy. After all, he had gone through so many events before, and it was inevitable that he would be exhausted physically and mentally. But because of the thought of seeing his friends, he instinctively became excited again.

In fact, just like what Jiang Wenkan said, Li Ming's longing for the cold and damp and his aversion to warm and dazzling things are just psychological effects. If everything starts from the beginning, and those things in the past don't happen, I'm afraid he will be as normal as a normal person. to continue on his own life path.

Unfortunately, there is no way to turn back time.

Tiredness and unavoidable excitement intertwined, Li Ming was in a trance.

When the Highlander was parked on the side of the road, it seemed that Heisawa deliberately braked suddenly and caused the car to stop suddenly. Li Ming subconsciously sat up straight and rubbed his eyes. The scenery outside the car window turned into a shady street at some point.

The so-called shade refers to a place where the back is shady and the sun does not shine, but if you stand at the intersection of the block, you can feel the warmth of the sun.

The reason why they are called shady is that their current location should be regarded as a gray area. The unlit lights hanging on the wall of the building, and the buildings with people coming and going even in daytime can prove that this place should be a gray zone. The "Red Light District" in the Ikebukuro area.

Kurosawa seemed to be here for the first time, she looked around, and there was a little stupid turbidity in her clear eyes.

She has only seen the concept of the red light district on TV or in novels, so this visit is not a small opportunity to experience life.

Of course Kurosawa knows what this place is for, and he also knows the customs industry in his own country. To be honest, although Kurosawa hates this kind of industry, it is the choice of others after all, and has nothing to do with her. Incurable illness or death from excess is only their choice.

But what makes her most curious right now is about Li Ming's so-called friends, the girls who can have a relationship with the red light district, it's hard not to let people think of that aspect.

Thinking of this, Kurosawa showed a mocking smile, thinking that she was still annoyed by such a woman she had never met before, and she felt extremely ridiculous.

"What? Your friend actually works in this industry?" Not only felt ridiculous, but Kurosawa stretched out his slender jade hand to pat Li Ming's shoulder and then quickly retracted it, rubbing his hands as naturally as possible, as if to put his hands together Wipe away all the dirty things that don't exist, "I really didn't expect it... Tsk tsk tsk."

Of course Li Ming knew what Heisawa meant, he just glanced indifferently at the girl beside him, raised his eyebrows and continued to watch the last farce of the cheongsam girl.

After sending a text message on LINE, Li Ming's friends quickly read the message, and then there was an intertwining of reality and fantasy.

A girl with a good figure in a maid outfit, who should be considered tall among women of the same age, walked out of a strange club named "Club ASH -アッシュ" on the map, stood at the door and looked around and saw something different. Heisawa and Li Ming who were beside the Highlander car in the distance immediately waved to them.

Li Ming raised his hand in response, and then saw a familiar face behind the girl, he raised his eyebrows, a little speechless.

"Yo, long time no see, Li Ming, I heard that you are coming to Ikebukuro, so I will immediately ask the boss for leave and come here to pick you up."

The girl is different from Kurosawa's elegance, she is a bit lively, if this kind of personality is matched with a little fat, she is a standard sports girl.

"Oh, don't stare at me with that kind of eyes, this is the most iconic place in Ikebukuro, so it's right for me to ask you to meet here."

The girl held a cigarette between the two fingers of her right hand, casually brought the end of the cigarette to her mouth, and looked at the cheongsam girl Mika Kurosawa at the same time with a calm and playful expression on her face. Open wide, it seems to be surprised, and it seems that there is an inexplicable hostility between women in my heart.

"Oh? I haven't seen Li Ming for a long time, and I actually got a girlfriend. No wonder I rejected my pursuit before, so I already have someone..."

"Kui Hoshino, you're wrong, I'm not..." Li Ming interrupted the girl, before he could finish speaking, Kurosawa grabbed his waist, and the sudden pain made him gasp , face distorted.

"That's right, I'm his girlfriend." Kurosawa let out a sneering "tsk", raised his head slightly, and looked confident.

"Li Ming told me about you before, but I didn't expect the first meeting to be in this kind of place. It is common sense that he would reject your pursuit. I am different from a woman like you. I am Qianye. The heir daughter of the Kurosawa chaebol in the county, my family property is hundreds of millions, and a guy like you who is involved in the customs industry is no match for me."

"what?"

The girl named "Hoshino Katsura" froze for a moment, as if she was shocked by Kurosawa's inexplicable confidence, or...

"I said, Li Ming, is your girlfriend... what's the problem here?" Gui pointed to his head when he said this, "If you really told her about this, then don't Will pursue such a thing as a fact."

"What do you mean?" Kurosawa asked without understanding.

"It's like this, Hoshino Katsura and I are table friends, and we played TRPG text-playing games together. The module we played last time was a standard Japanese love module. Her and I played the roles of childhood sweethearts, so ..."

Li Ming smiled wryly, and scratched the back of his head with embarrassment on his face: "Actually, I know that there will definitely be same-sex disputes between you women when you meet, but Gui is actually a very cheerful and nervous girl. , I don't mind this kind of thing at all."

"Hey! Nervous, I remember it's not a good adjective, Li Ming!" Gui's voice gradually increased, and he made a noise from the sidelines, "I'm angry, please treat me to a conveyor belt sushi and I'll calm down."

"Although this guy is usually self-willed, she should be regarded as one of the few little suns in my dark life that I can accept."

When Li Ming said the last two words, he took a step back subconsciously, completely shrouded himself in the shadow, and then continued to look at the few people in front of him with a slight smile on his face.

Kurosawa was still silent, tilting his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing this appearance, Li Ming didn't say much, he stretched out his hand to caress Gui's head friendly, and whispered softly.

"I'll take you to eat conveyor belt sushi later, let's treat this as our reunion dinner."

Li Ming lightly smiled and patted Gui's head, the age difference between them was actually not much different, Gui was even a few years older than him.

But due to the difference in personality between the two, many people who don't know will think that Li Ming is the elder brother. As time goes by, they will naturally get used to this identity, and only then will they act like an elder brother comforting a younger sister.

Li Ming's gaze followed Gui to look behind him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a helpless expression.

"As for you, Jiang Wenkan, why are you here? Or why are you with Hoshino Katsura? I still have a lot of questions to ask, so you can come along with me."

"Jiang Wenkan?"

Kuisawa narrowed her eyes and started talking to herself, but she didn't continue talking, just like Li Ming, she just looked at Jiang Wenkan who hurried over with a shy and shy expression, her expression was a bit complicated, but Fleeting.

"Let me introduce you again. This is Mika Kurosawa, the heir daughter of the Kurosawa Zaibatsu in Chiba Prefecture. She is not my girlfriend, but a female friend."

Seeing that all his friends and windfalls had arrived, Li Ming brushed the strands of hair on his forehead, and spread his hands innocently.

"After all, she is a young lady, and her ignorance of world affairs is also a unique characteristic of her, so I hope everyone will take care of her." Li Ming took a deep breath and continued, "In addition, Miss Kurosawa is also a patient of White Night Syndrome, so for a while During the chat, everyone can speak freely."

"Patients with White Night Syndrome? So you are too?"

Kurosawa quickly came to his senses, looked at Katsura Hoshino, who had almost become a sports girl in front of him, and instinctively showed an excited expression.

Li Ming and Jiang Wenkan on the side were a little helpless. Although there would be signs of fighting between women, once they had a common topic or common language, they would be enemies one second before and become best friends the next second. These two men are exemplary examples.

After all, Ikebukuro is a luxurious neighborhood located in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and there are many people coming and going. To be precise, most of the residents here should be from Li Ming’s hometown, so people from his hometown can often be seen here. Can also hear familiar Chinese.

Hoshino Katsura and Kurosawa walked in front, and the two young men followed behind. The atmosphere was like a scene where friends take each other's girlfriends out shopping while the men obediently follow behind. I don't want to.

"Long time no see, Jiang Wenkan, didn't you say you were going to investigate the case? How did you meet you in this kind of red-light district?" Li Ming held the black umbrella he took out from the trunk of the Highlander, and the gloomy black enveloped it. However, he felt a little relaxed.

"The investigation time you gave me is one month, what's wrong with me relaxing during this period?" Jiang Wenkan showed a trace of panic, pretending to be justified.

Li Ming raised his eyebrows, his expression was indifferent, but with a little playfulness, his eyes deliberately glanced to the side.

"But I clearly remember that you just walked out of a men's public relations club? Hoshino Katsura is a girl, so there is no problem for him to go there, and you...you are not a HOMO, are you?"

"What nonsense, my sexual orientation is normal." Although Jiang Wenkan's voice was angry, his expression was still calm, which seemed to be a rebuttal on the surface, but in fact——

After getting along for a long time, Li Ming can naturally know how this guy named Jiang Wenkan's speech is related to the deep meaning, so just after Jiang Wenkan finished speaking, Li Ming's hand holding the umbrella handle trembled slightly. , the volume increased rapidly while worrying whether the two opposite sexes in front could hear their reminiscences.

"Wait a minute, let me tell you Jiang Wenkan, you don't really think so about your reaction!"

Li Ming's voice stopped abruptly, but when Jiang Wenkan took out a folded poster full of words from his pocket and handed it to him, Li Ming's face showed a trace of surprise and bewilderment.

At the beginning of the poster, "Club ASH -アッシュ" is written in huge artistic characters. It is obviously the men's public relations club just now. Looking down, Li Ming obviously subconsciously took a step to the side after seeing the familiar name. .

"Do you understand now?" Jiang Wenkan spread his hands innocently, and continued to follow Kurosawa and Gui unsteadily.

I don't know why, maybe after knowing his current job, Li Ming looked at this guy with a strange look in his eyes, which is the instinctive expression of a normal person in society when he looks at the custom industry.

What's more, Jiang Wenkan's leisurely and careless walking posture fell into Li Ming's eyes, more like a walking dead, just a dried corpse.

"I remember that we came to Japan, a foreign country, three years ago. When we were solving the problem of survival, you went to many places and passed the interviews? There is no need to be in such an industry, right?" Li Ming pursed his lips. , the adjectives that I want to utter stagnate on my lips, making it difficult to speak.

Jiang Wenkan laughed lightly, stretched out his hand and patted Li Ming's shoulder: "You have to understand a truth, the closer you are to the industry in the gray area or even the black area, the more information you will get." He paused for a while. , leaning on the back of the head with both hands outstretched, "We are friends, partners. If you are in the light, then I must be in the dark to cooperate with each other to achieve my goal."

"You bastard..." Li Ming bit his lower lip, unable to express his emotions, in the end he just patted his shoulder heavily to show his respect.

"Of course... this industry is not as bad as you seem on the surface. I also met people who can accompany me for the rest of my life during my work." Jiang Wenkan chuckled, looking forward naturally with his eyes, staying in the Someone between the two girls.

Li Ming frowned, followed his gaze in surprise.

As if sensing the gazes of the two young men behind him, Katsura Hoshino, who was wearing a maid outfit, suddenly turned his head at this moment, met Li Ming's slightly surprised and shocked gaze, and smiled slyly.

"?"

Li Ming tilted his head, and the expression on his face gradually turned towards shock. He wanted to vent his emotions, but he was always stuck in his throat, and the situation of hesitating to speak was vividly reflected in him.

"Hey! You bastard!"

By the time Li Ming realized it, Jiang Wenkan had already run towards a conveyor belt sushi restaurant not far away, holding Hoshino Gui's hand.

On the other hand, Kurosawa folded his arms, with a casual expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something, but also seemed to be reflecting.

After playing around for a while, the four of them stepped into the revolving sushi restaurant, and under Li Ming's strong obsession, they walked to the corner and sat down together.

Looking around at the display in the store, the conveyor belt containing the small plates of sushi made a soft and steady sound, running slowly around the tables and chairs placed on one side, and in front of the board standing on the inside of the counter, carelessly holding the rice and salmon, just blinking In just a few minutes, a plate of sushi is perfectly prepared.

Different from the noisy izakaya, the sushi restaurant is a bit quiet, and it's not time for meal, Li Ming and his group came here only because of the "threat" of Hoshino Katsura.

"I said Li Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you still look like this." Hoshino Gui adjusted the hem of her maid dress, sat on the innermost side of the small sofa, and rolled up the small plate on the conveyor belt when she saw the opportunity. Pick up the sushi and place it in front of him.

Of course Li Ming knew what she was talking about, it was all about the fact that she would carry a black umbrella every day when she went out.

From the eyes of others, it is really hard to understand Li Ming's behavior of carrying a long-handled black umbrella with him no matter it is windy, rainy or sunny. Secondary illness, it took a long time to find out that he seemed to have some kind of mental illness.

"When I call you out someday, I'll ask Xiaokan to fold your umbrella, and I'll see what you do!"

While humming triumphantly, Hoshino Katsura put the thin roll on the plate into his mouth, savored it carefully, and then showed an intoxicated expression, and subconsciously let out a "um~" sound subconsciously.

"But speaking of it, you've been carrying this umbrella with you for a long time, why hasn't it changed for so long? Logically speaking, with your frequency of use, this umbrella should have broken down long ago!"

"You think everyone uses one and breaks the other just like you." Li Ming asked the clerk for a vinegar dish to keep at hand, then glanced at Jiang Wenkan who was snickering, the hidden meaning was self-evident.

Sitting next to Li Ming, Kuisawa folded his arms and leaned against his mouth, quietly listening to their conversation, three of the four knew each other, she seemed a bit out of place as an outsider, obviously she drove Li Ming by herself I came to Ikebukuro to investigate the case, why did I become a light bulb.

Thinking of this, a hint of impatience and anger flashed across Kurosawa's face, but in order to maintain her character as a young lady, she sat quietly on the sofa and deliberately made herself look at the sushi at the counter not far away. Actions.

To be precise, this was the first time she went out alone, and it was also the first time she witnessed Itamae making sushi with her own eyes. This made her change her posture to support her head, and watched the flowing movements in front of her very intently.

There was a cold touch on the side of the lips, Kurosawa came back to his senses, blinked and looked at the sushi next to his mouth, and then followed the hand holding the sushi to look at Li Ming.

"What are you doing?"

"I saw you were staring at the eel sushi all the time, and I was wondering if you didn't want to get it yourself because of your status as the eldest lady, so I brought it for you."

Li Ming held the chopsticks in his right hand to pick up the eel sushi, and his left hand held a saucer of vinegar, as if feeding his girlfriend properly.

Kurosawa also realized this. When he stared at Li Ming, he found that he hadn't awakened at all. While blushing on his cheeks, he became more and more annoyed. Kan, however, looked forward to it, and could only open his mouth to accept it due to pressure and his special status.

Chewing the eel sushi carefully, savoring the soup in it, feeling the layers of taste bursting out from the tip of the tongue, Kurosawa's face was even more shy and flushed.

"Is it tasty?"

Li Ming ruthlessly took out the chopsticks that had been put into Heisawa's mouth, then took out a tissue, and calmly wiped the saliva on it.

"If you want to eat something, just tell me, and I'll bring it for you, but don't want me to feed you again." Li Ming blew on the chopsticks he took out from the wipe of the paper towel, and wiped away the remaining scraps of paper. Clean up, "You are the eldest daughter of the biggest chaebol in Chiba Prefecture, but you have to do it yourself. It is impossible to become an heir daughter by relying on others to feed you all the time."

"Do you need to say that?" Kurosawa angrily picked up a plate of gunkan sushi from the conveyor belt on one side - made of seaweed wrapped with rice filled with fish roe - without even taking chopsticks I grabbed it and put it in my mouth, not knowing who I was angry with.

Li Ming didn't seem to have reacted yet, but he only regarded Kurosawa Mika's behavior as the behavior of a young lady, and after a few wry smiles, he continued to taste other types of sushi.

It is basically impossible for a foreigner to adapt to the diet of other countries, even if it takes three years to restrain the inner rejection and taste it every day.

The same is true for Li Ming, not to mention that he has a unique feeling of rejection when it comes to Japanese food, so for a period of time before that, he only lived on milk and bread every day, which also caused him to watch He was sick, if it wasn't for Jiang Wenkan who would come to report information once a month, Li Ming would really pass out due to malnutrition.

Hoshino Katsura and Jiang Wenkan who were sitting across from each other almost burst out laughing watching the farce of the man and woman in front of them, as if deliberately trying to annoy the two people in front of them, Jiang Wenkan also picked up a piece of sushi with chopsticks and put it into Hoshino Katsura's mouth , and then kissed it.

"Hey~" Li Ming was the first to make an uncomfortable voice, "If you two are tired, can you go to another place to sleep, there are two people here who have never been in a relationship, are you okay?"

Kurosawa, on the other hand, looked ashamed and blushed. She began to put the sushi in her mouth desperately, so as to cover up her inner thoughts. Her gaze was erratic. She didn't want to look at Li Ming beside her at all. The free romance movies can end as soon as possible.

Seeing the appearance of the two in front of them, Jiang Wenkan and Hoshino Gui came back to their senses from the kiss they had just devoted themselves to. They both smiled slyly and looked at each other, continuing their tenderness.

Jiang Wenkan reached out to wrap his arms around Hoshino Gui's waist, and leaned his head on Hoshino Gui's shoulder. Gui also imitated his appearance and approached, sticking his face to his neck, and buried his face in his chest. .

The actions of the two made the corners of Li Ming's mouth twitch fiercely, this disgusting and disgusting scene made him feel his stomach tumbling.

Kurosawa was even more embarrassed, biting his lip tightly, while feeding sushi into his mouth stiffly, subconsciously holding his breath.

Just when they were about to have an in-depth exchange, as if they had made an appointment, the two of them stopped at the same time, with a triumphant smile of a successful prank, Hoshino Katsura licked his dry lips with a very succubus temperament.

Looking at the plates stacked higher and higher beside him, Li Ming suddenly felt a pain in his heart. During the frolicking of the few people just now, he suddenly remembered that he paid for the conveyor belt sushi meal.

Although Mika Kurosawa gave him a large commission, it was basically impossible for people to spit out the rice they had eaten, even though the rice had not been fully digested.

"Speaking of which, Li Ming, why did you think of coming to Ikebukuro to find me? You don't necessarily go out once every few months, right? Did you come to Ikebukuro to investigate the case and that's why you came to look for me as an excuse."

Hoshino Gui stretched out his hand to pick up the black plate on the conveyor belt, the sushi on different colored plates seemed to have different prices, after realizing this, Li Ming gritted his teeth tightly and did not say a word.

——After all, Gui's guess is the same as the fact.

"That must have something to do with Miss Kurosawa." Jiang Wenkan casually picked up the sushi on the plate, held it with his hands, and fed Hoshino Gui, "As far as I know, Li Ming has a driver's license but no car. In addition, he is a straight man, so if he was able to come to Ikebukuro in Miss Kurosawa's car, he must have received a request from Kurosawa."

Jiang Wenkan paused, then chuckled: "I'm right? Li Ming?"

"That's true, but to be precise, it should be related to the Kurosawa family." Mika Kurosawa, who had been delivering sushi to her mouth, stopped at this moment, and interjected vaguely, "My sister has been missing for three or four years. , I entrusted those criminal policemen but found nothing. I happened to meet Mr. Li during the last Baimeng consultation, and I had the opportunity to entrust him after I learned that he opened a detective agency."

"How much is the deposit?" Hoshino Gui asked expectantly with stars shining in his eyes, "Mihua, you are a rich lady, so the deposit must be a lot, right?"

"80."

Kurosawa dealt with the last few sushi on the plate slowly, showing a leisurely expression, as if so much money was just a drop in the ocean to her, and it was indeed the case.

Jiang Wenkan, who was on the side, made a surprised tone that was out of place, and immediately realized that this might reveal the fact that he had never seen the world, so he coughed a few times and continued to pretend to be dead.

"80..." Katsura Hoshino blushed slightly, and looked at Mika Kurosawa with eyes full of admiration, but it was not because of admiration for money, but because she was able to come up with such a huge sum of money worship.

"It's only 80 yen, which is only 4 yuan when converted into the currency of our hometown." Li Ming wiped the chopsticks in his hand with a paper towel, speaking in a disapproving tone, "Besides, Miss Kurosawa is Chiba The heir daughter of the largest chaebol in the county, this amount of money is not a drop in the bucket for her."

To be honest, Li Ming's tone and words always give people the illusion of hatred for the rich, and even a bit of yin and yang.

"Although my family has money, it doesn't mean I can spend it recklessly. Every month, my father will check my account flow as an assessment to judge whether I can take over the Kurosawa Zaibatsu."

Kurosawa had some difficulty swallowing and chewing the crumbling food. He poured out an appropriate amount of the matcha powder that the owner had prepared for each guest, mixed it with hot water, and took a sip with an elegant expression.

"Okay, stop talking about these meaningless and unnutritious topics, and go back to the beginning."

Kurosawa frowned slightly, as if it was a natural feedback from the bitterness of the matcha water. After a while, she raised her head and looked at the two people in front of her.

"I want to ask, have you heard of Lizhi University in Ikebukuro? My sister went to school there before she disappeared. I suspect that her disappearance is related to the classmates in the school, so I did tell Gui about it when I came to Ikebukuro this time. Li Ming and I plan to investigate from the root of the node in order."

"Does your sister have a bad relationship with her classmates at school?" Jiang Wenkan asked tentatively.

"Sorry, to be honest, I don't know."

Kurosawa lowered his head and held the warm water glass with both hands, his eyes were erratic, as if recalling, but also as if he was blaming himself.

"When Xigua was in school, our family was busy because of the corruption and bribery of the high-level chaebol, so we didn't pay enough attention to her." Kurosawa pursed his lips, "And Xigua is not a favorite in front of us." The children who express themselves show a very happy look every day..."

"Watermelon?" Jiang Wenkan looked puzzled.

"Ah, my sister is called Kurosawa Watermelon." Kurosawa chased and added, "She is my only biological sister, and I have an older brother named Mei Huicao."

When he said this, Jiang Wenkan and Li Ming looked at each other in unison, and at the same time gave an untimely "puchi", and then suddenly held back, his face flushed.

"What are you two laughing at?"

Katsura Hoshino on the side asked a little puzzled, she and Kurosawa looked at each other, but saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, Jiang Wenkan and I are from the same place, so the jokes are not the same as you Japanese, and it's not very polite to say it, you'd better not know it." Li Ming pretended Indifferent and reserved, he tried his best to hide the smile that was about to burst out.

"Yes, that's true." Jiang Wenkan on the side also waved his hand in agreement.

This is indeed very rude to Kurosawa, but she is remembering at the moment, so she doesn't blame the two of them for their performance. On the contrary, Katsura Hoshino can't stand it anymore.

After educating his partner and Li Ming in front of him, Katsura Hoshino stacked the plates in front of him and looked at Mika Kurosawa with an extremely serious expression.

"Is your sister studying at Ridge University? I carefully recalled the distribution of my friends. I remember that I have a good friend of the same sex who is a teacher there. If you don't mind, I will take you to find her later. You You can ask her."

"really?"

Kurosawa suddenly regained consciousness from the painful memory. Hoshino Katsura's starry eyes shifted to her face at this time, and she raised her voice excitedly, which made a person at the next table look like a high school student The boy shivered.

Li Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp gaze touched him. The boy's hand that was reaching for the vinegar dish on the conveyor belt froze in the air, and then he lowered his head with an embarrassed smile on his face, and left here after a while.

"What's the matter? I see that you were so fierce to that child just now, is it because you don't like children?" Kurosawa's voice came.

"It's okay, it's just a little naughty."

Li Ming answered irrelevantly, picked up the drink at hand and took a sip.

"You guys have discussed, should you go to Lizhi University later or tomorrow?"
