Chapter 14: Who are you?
6:15pm
"Here we are." Miura said, pointing to the fenced area near them.
"I do not know why, but I have the impression that our research will be unproductive." Daimon stated.
"To try does not harm, commissioner ... Now let's go down."
I got out of the car and the two men crossed the gate, starting to look around, but found no clue.
"I said it ... The kidnapper, if he exists, will be careful not to leave any clues. We just have to look in the bins. "
"In the bins?"
"Yes, maybe we'll find something."
"I doubt it ... Every morning the rubbish goes to recover the waste, which are sent to landfills or incinerators."
"I had not thought about it ... And yet I was born and raised here."
"An oversight can happen to anyone, Commissioner."
"Let's go back to the central ... I will read the diary of Rio, you question the suspects and see if they have an alibi for last night."
"Yes, sir."
I have the impression that this case will be more complicated than expected.
Masaaki thought seriously.
6.30 pm
Nagisa was having dinner with her mother and her lover, Tony. He ate calmly, and looked thoughtful. He could not get rid of the two events that had enlivened his day: the disappearance of Rio and the embrace that he had with Irina (it did not make sense to call her Professor Jelavic, after what they had done ... At least it made no sense in private because he knew that in public he had to maintain a formal tone, to avoid suspicion).
Damn it ... Starting a relationship with a teacher (which I only knew yesterday, moreover) is like swimming along the Amazon river .. If you're lucky, the piranhas attack you, if you are not attack an anaconda. If we get caught she risks the place and I risk becoming a victim of maltingues. I also smell a burning smell ... The fact that he has repeatedly changed the nation, her vague answers, her nervousness when I proposed to collaborate in the research of Rio ... What is hiding something?
He wondered.
"Nagisa, are you feeling well?" His mother asked him.
"What?"
"You eat little and have a funeral face, when you usually take a few minutes to empty a plate," the woman said, worried.
"I'm worried about Rio's disappearance." He lied.
I can not tell you the real reason, I would have a head like that.
"I suspected him ... Well, staying fasting will certainly not help on her return." Tony intervened.
"Come on, eat, before it gets cold." Mom urged him.
"Ok ..."
He resumed eating, this time with more energy. He had to be careful to conceal his emotions, so as not to make his mother or Tony suspicious.
6:45 pm
Kotaro had just finished dinner, and as usual he was surfing the internet in his bedroom, sitting in front of his PC.
Today was a pleasant day ... Professor Yukimura was really kind, and her friends are not far behind. Too bad he has an unworthy boyfriend.
He thought, bitterly.
The boy in question was Shiro Yanagisawa, an irascible and violent type who often beat poor Aguri for trivial reasons. However, despite the ill-treatment she suffered, the woman remained calm and smiling. Sometimes he wondered why he had not yet reported him. Love? Fear? Lack of evidence? He could not understand it. Suddenly, while he was on FB, he received a message from a person who was not among his friendships, he signed Vermouth and said, simply:
I have to talk to you.
Obviously there, the boy was confused by that statement. It was the first time he received a similar message.
Who are you?
He wrote, passed the initial loss.
A friend ...
And what do you want?
I know that a new teacher has arrived in your high school ... Irina Jelavic, right?
Yes, but how do you know?
It does not matter. I know certain information, certain facts.
He should talk with Asano, if it's something important.
Whoever that woman was (assuming she was a woman, since it was easy to to pass the opposite gender on the social media), she had to be well informed about the high school and who attended it, both teachers and students.
I can not, certainly would not trust a stranger.
And why are you contacting me?
You know the son of Asano, Gakushu; I know you go to the same class. He can convince his father of my good faith.
Look, I do not know you. You introduced yourself to me with a false name, so how can she think I trust you?
Do not trust.
Kotaro adjusted his glasses, nervous. He did not like that.
Show me the information.
I can not on internet, you have to see them with your eyes. You will understand that your sweet teacher has a dark side.
Where? And when?
At Kudo's estate, tonight, alone.
Kudo's estate?
Exact. See not to miss, and delete this chat. I prefer to remain anonymous, as my profession provides.
Kotaro was undecided. What should he do? Ignore the message or go to the agreed place?
