As Christmas approaches, stores in shopping malls are starting to make preparations.
Some hung up colored lights, some put up stickers of Santa Claus, and some put elaborate Christmas trees in front of their doors, full of small gifts.
But the next moment, the well-arranged Christmas tree suddenly began to shake, and the small gifts broke away from the branches and flew forward.
A khaki van sped past the escalator in the shopping mall. Zhang Heng turned on the wipers and swept away the two greeting cards taped to the window. The rear of the L300 swung past a counter filled with expensive skin care products. , the air flow brought up caused the red waist above to sway.
…………
The driver of the Toyota Voxy was very cunning. He kept turning at the intersection, and after making a big circle, he wanted to secretly turn back to the previous road. But the next moment, the glass of the shopping mall door on his right suddenly shattered without warning. .
A khaki van with Christmas decorations rushed out.
What are you doing? ! Did Santa Claus come so early this year and drive a car instead of riding an elk?
The driver of Voxy was shocked. He had been looking at the rearview mirror and did not see any pursuers. He had no idea where this guy came from, and the way he appeared was a bit too exciting.
The distance between the two cars soon shortened to only six or seven meters. The driver of Voxy's scalp felt numb and he had to step on the accelerator to the bottom, trying to use the speed to get rid of the tail behind him.
But then something happened that shocked him. The Voxy's performance actually lost to the shabby-looking L300 in terms of acceleration.
The two stepped on the accelerator at the same time, but the result was that they were getting closer and closer. Zhang Heng used the front bumper to push against the left rear body of Voxy. Under the force, the Toyota began to tilt uncontrollably, and the driver was sweating profusely. , tightly grasping the steering wheel in his hand, but no matter how fast he accelerated, he could not escape.
Seeing that it was about to tip over, Voxy had to slow down, and as if it was agreed, the L300 behind also slowed down. Zhang Heng could choose to knock over the opponent, but he was concerned that Ameko inside did not push too hard. , and finally the two cars stopped on the side of the road together.
The driver on Voxy knew very well that it was impossible to get rid of the opponent with his own skills and vehicle performance, so he opened the door and pushed the unconscious Ameko to the side of the road. Zhang Heng watched the dark blue Toyota disappear into the night, and He released the bow and arrow in his hand.
He did not continue to pursue him. Firstly, it was because he could not leave Ameko alone on the roadside. Secondly, the group had guns in their hands. Although they were restrained so far and had not been fired, he didn't know if they were really cornered. What will happen.
Therefore, this confrontation between the two sides ended with each taking a step back.
In a sense, the appearance of this group of people made Zhang Heng relieved. When he saw the fire in the aquatic products store, his first reaction was similar to that of Ameko. He thought that Takeda Tetsuya had been killed, and the other party used this method. The method was to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces, but the appearance of Voxy later indirectly proved that the owner of the aquatic product store was still alive.
Otherwise, they don't need to trick Ameko here to kidnap her. The girl's life is very ordinary, no different from that of most Japanese students. This group of people will focus on her and obviously intend to use her to threaten Takeda Tetsuya.
But having said that, what is the background of the guy in the voxy? He was causing trouble and setting fire, and he also had a gun on him. In Japan, a country with extremely strict gun control, the guy who can get a handgun must have a lot of background.
Zhang Heng shot a tattooed man through the calf just because he wanted to keep him for questioning. Unfortunately, they didn't expect that they had an accomplice to help him. Fortunately, Ameko was not lost after all.
Zhang Heng carried the girl to the car and did a brief inspection. He found that the girl had no other injuries except for slight scratches on her elbow and calf, which made him relieved.
At this time, he also heard the whistle of the fire truck in the distance. To be fair, these firefighters arrived very quickly. Although everything that happened before was thrilling, it had only been a few minutes since he called the police.
Zhang Heng took off his coat and covered the girl. Ameko had invited him to eat hot pot several times in the small rented apartment, so he knew where the latter lived, but it was not a good idea to send her back now. She was obviously involved in something. Since the other party could deceive her once, he could also deceive her a second time.
The top priority is to first figure out what happened before we can formulate next steps.
Although the group on Voxy had escaped, Zhang Heng knew that there was still someone who could definitely give him the answer.
Everything that happened tonight was obviously related to Takeda Tetsuya, or Tsuchiya Yosuke, and it was time to listen to this guy's story.
But before that, the right owner must be found.
This was not difficult for Zhang Heng. He drove to the izakayas, custom shops and karaoke bars that the aquatic product shop owner liked to go to, but finally found his target at the abandoned dock where he practiced driving.
By this time, it was already getting slightly brighter. The owner of the aquatic product store wore a wide-brimmed hat to cover his face and mixed with a group of elderly fishing enthusiasts holding a fishing rod.
When he heard the friction between the tires and the ground, he knew who was coming. However, when he stood up and saw Ameko sitting in the passenger seat, he was still stunned.
"Why is she here?"
"I'm going to ask you this question." Zhang Heng jumped out of the car, "I found her in front of your aquatic products store. A group of guys wanted to kidnap her at that time, but don't worry, she just fainted, nothing serious. .”
"Someone kidnapped her? What did those guys look like?" Takeda Tetsuya's expression became unusually nervous.
"There were about three of them. They wrapped themselves up quite tightly and wore sunglasses and masks. But for some reason, the tattoos on their necks were not covered up."
"What does the tattoo look like?" Takeda Tetsuya didn't care about other details but was very concerned about this issue.
Zhang Heng thought for a while, "It's too far away, so I can't be completely sure. It looks like an eye."
Takeda Tetsuya's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, and then he seemed to have lost all his strength and fell to the ground, muttering, "Is it really here?"
"What's coming?"
"It has nothing to do with you, all they want is my life." The owner of the aquatic product store smiled miserably, "I thought I could hide away by staying anonymous and keeping a low profile as much as possible these years, but I didn't expect that they still refused to let me go. But it doesn’t matter, as long as I go find them honestly now, you won’t be in danger again.”
Contrary to Zhang Heng's imagination, the owner of the aquatic product store didn't seem interested in talking about his past.
Zhang Heng was still thinking about how to get the other party to speak, but unexpectedly a voice came from behind him, "So was this the reason why you divorced your mother back then?"
Ameko woke up from the car seat at some point, and she obviously heard what Tetsuya Takeda said just now.
