Chapter 35 Color is Empty
Mashima remained calm, but Ouyang Kai caught the shock and panic that flashed in his expression.He didn't intend to waste time, so he gently raised his left hand. On the cuff, the string of rosewood-colored prayer beads glowed red under the light of the tavern.

Country R, ​​Xijing City, the night is getting darker.

In a tavern located in a small alley in the urban area, the loud shouts of drinkers kept coming. A drunk man from R country took off his shirt and sang "Yiyi Yaya" at the gate of the tavern that no one could understand. Drunken song, heard from a distance, the sound is more like the low growl of some omnivorous domestic animal in heat.

A silver-gray Toyota sedan slowly stopped by the side of the road, and the drunk man stopped singing immediately, obviously attracted by something.His sleepy eyes widened suddenly, and a lewd smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved towards him with a half bottle of green wine in his hand.

What attracted him was Luo Hong who got out of the car. She was dressed in tight white casual clothes, which perfectly set off her fit and yet sexy figure. She had short ear-length hair, light makeup, and a perfect match. The facial features are more beautiful and spiritual.

Luo Hong clearly sensed the obscene look of the drunk man, and couldn't help frowning, looking at Ouyang Kai who just got out of the car.

Ouyang Kai smiled slightly, unexpectedly slowed down on purpose, and lit a cigarette by the side of the road, as if he had nothing to do with himself.Luo Hong glared at him fiercely, then turned around, the drunk man was already very close.

"Little...sister, you... are so beautiful...haha..." The drunk man looked at Luo Hong lewdly, and rubbed his sweaty chest with his free hand, smelling strongly of alcohol. Come on.

"Go away!" Luo Hong shouted in R mandarin expressionlessly.

"Hehe, why are you so...serious? Do you want me...I buy you a drink?" The drunk became more energetic, and suddenly turned his gaze to Ouyang Kai across the road, suddenly became hostile, and shouted at him, "Mom Yes! What are you looking at? Tell me... get away... woo, you are her... lover? Haha, you dare to come here... Lao Tzu... I will kick-fly-you..."

The three words "kick you away" were uttered by the drunk in mid-air, so that the voice dragged on a bit, and the tone changed completely, which was even harsher than when he sang just now.However, he woke up quite a bit from the wine, and when he landed, he let out a scream, and he couldn't see his lewd eyes, and his facial features were distorted together, like a dried eggplant, and he tightly covered it with his hands. Hold the crotch.

On the opposite side, Luo Hong took out a tissue from her handbag, wiped her famous sneakers in disgust, and walked towards the tavern.

Ouyang Kai walked over with a smile, the drunk man became even more frightened, and subconsciously rubbed his back.

Ouyang Kai squatted down with great interest, and asked with concern: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts..." The drunk man's answer was very rational, and he didn't seem to be drunk at all.

"Oh...then stand up, I'll teach you a trick, and you won't be beaten by a woman next time." Ouyang Kai got up and said seriously.

"You..." The drunk man felt that these words were inexplicable, but he still struggled to stand up and looked at Ouyang Kai in surprise.

"Look good, I'll demonstrate once." Ouyang Kai said seriously, "You kick it here, kick it now, use your strength, use all your strength!"

"Hmm... that's good!" The drunk man became ruthless and kicked with all his might.

Ouyang Kai quickly grabbed the leg kicked by the drunk man, swung it sideways, and added another kick in mid-air.The drunk man from country R made a big circle first, then was thrown out, got kicked again, and flew out more than ten meters away with full power, and landed in a small swill ditch not far from the tavern, covered in mud , completely fainted.

"Food!" Ouyang Kai tidied up his clothes and walked into the tavern.

Luo Hong, who was standing at the door peeking back, burst out laughing, seeing Ouyang Kai approaching, immediately put on a straight face, and walked in angrily.Ouyang Kai smiled and quickly followed in.

The tavern named "Wild Chrysanthemum House" is doing really well. The small space is filled with enthusiastic drinkers, and the sound is a bit noisy.

Two middle-aged women greeted the guests chatteringly, and kept serving food and wine, shuttling among the drinkers.Behind a long counter facing the door, a slightly fat man lowered his head and was busy settling accounts for a table of guests. He suddenly looked up and saw Ouyang Kai and Luo Hong, with bright smiles on his face, he nodded and bowed to them .

If it weren't for the detailed information on Muramasa Hayao, no one would have thought that the smiling owner of the tavern would be a gold medal killer of the pterodactyl organization who had followed Muramasa Hayao for more than ten years. It's a bit like the plot in some spy TV dramas, but now it's really in front of the two of them.

The proprietor of the tavern has already settled the bills of the drinkers, and now he is graciously walking around the long counter and greeted him with a bow: "Both, please sit down! What would you like to drink?"

"Mr. Mashima, your business is really good!" Ouyang Kai said with a smile.

Mashima looked at Ouyang Kai in surprise, because of his occupation, he had a habitual instinct - he would remember every face he had seen, but the handsome man in front of him who was much taller than himself, he was sure that he never seen.

That's what he thought in his heart, but his unexpected gaze changed suddenly, with a smile on his face, and his tone didn't change at all: "Hehe, you know me? Excuse me, may I ask you..."

"We're from Cinsinas in Country F." Ouyang Kai's answer was short and clear.

"Oh... it must be far away from country R, ​​right? You two have worked hard... what do you want to drink?"

Mashima remained calm, but Ouyang Kai caught the shock and panic that flashed in his expression.He didn't intend to waste time, so he gently raised his left hand. On the cuff, the string of rosewood-colored prayer beads glowed red under the light of the tavern.

Mashima's face really changed this time, and he couldn't calm down any more. He took a good look at Ouyang Kai again, looked around subconsciously, and then smiled and said: "Then, please go to the private seat at the back, I ... coming right away."

"Thank you." Ouyang Kai smiled, and walked with Luo Hong in the direction indicated by Mashima, passing through three rows of wine tables, where there was a small alley, passing through the alley, and then pushing open the wooden door at the end, Arriving at the backyard of the tavern, there is a small round wooden table under two cherry blossom trees, four wicker chairs are placed around the table, nothing else.The two sat down at the round table, looked at each other, and had a simple exchange with each other.

At most 5 minutes later, the small wooden door was hastily pushed open. Mashima walked in, quickly closed the wooden door, and added a latch. After walking a few steps, he quickly came to Ouyang Kai, pointed at his wrist and said: "Let me see!"

Ouyang Kai calmly took off the beads and put them in Mashima's hands. Mashima couldn't wait to take the beads, inspecting them over and over again like appreciating a priceless antique, two drops dripped down his flushed face. Line tears.

"Muramasa-kun...is he alright?" Mashima's voice trembled a little.

"He's fine." Ouyang Kai nodded, watched Mashima sit down opposite him, and said seriously, "Mr. Muramasa said that you are his most loyal brother and the only organization that was not purged by Harumi Nakata back then." Veteran. Over the years, you have been sending him information from within the organization, and he bluntly said that you may be the only one who can help him within the pterosaur organization!"

Mashima nodded with emotion, and looked at Ouyang Kai with piercing eyes: "What do you... need me for?"

"We must determine the exact location of Harumi Nakata as soon as possible and find her as soon as possible." Ouyang Kai said bluntly.

"This..." Mashima frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Please forgive me, at the moment, I really don't know the exact location of that woman. In recent years, she has been wandering around some countries in Southeast Asia, and her whereabouts are unknown Fixed, the people who follow her are all her cronies, and it is almost impossible for us people to see her... Alas, if I knew this, I really shouldn't give up the opportunity to go to Southeast Asia with her, in that case , I can directly help Muramasa-kun!"

"Did you voluntarily give up leaving Country R back then?" Ouyang Kai asked with interest.

"Yes." Mashima said, "Back then, the pterosaur organization was banned by the government of country R, ​​and many brothers were arrested or killed. Nakata took the backbone and smuggled out of country R overnight, but there is also a need for people here. To stay, I voluntarily asked Ying to stay in the country, spent a lot of trouble to clear my criminal record, and opened this tavern, which can be regarded as a liaison station for the organization in the country. A few years ago, I also arranged several reliable Her brother is by Harumi Nakata’s side, but in the past six months or so, her place of residence has been constantly changing. Some of my people were inadvertently transferred away by her, and some of them had accidents while performing tasks. Counting, I have not been here for nearly half a year. Know her exact whereabouts."

"Then is there any other way for you?" Ouyang Kai asked urgently with his heart sinking.

"Let me think about it..." Mashima frowned and thought.

At this time, there was an urgent knock on the wooden door leading to the tavern, and a woman who was serving guests in the tavern just now shouted loudly: "Mashima-kun! Miss Miko is here!"

"Ah? Ah! I'll be right there!" Mashima stood up from his seat and said hurriedly in a low voice, "You two, please hide in the house quickly, and don't let Miko...they find out!"

"Miko? Is that Muramasa Miko?" Luo Hong stood up and asked.

"You know her?" Mashima was taken aback, then nodded quickly, "Yes, it's Muramasa-kun's daughter Miko... Hurry up, both of you!"

Mashima involuntarily led Ouyang Kai and Luo Hong into a room in the yard, closed the sliding door again, and hurriedly walked outside. After taking a few steps, he quickly backed away and took the room where Ouyang Kai and Luo Hong had sat. After moving the chair back to its original place and putting it away, he walked towards the small wooden door.

"Muramasa Toshio's daughter is here, why is he so nervous?" Luo Hong asked in a low voice in the room.

Ouyang Kai shook his head, noncommittal.

The two stayed in the dark room, looking out at the situation in the yard through the gap in the door, and saw Mashima hurriedly opened the door, and immediately there was a crisp voice coming from the small wooden door: "Mashima Uncle, the business is so busy outside, what are you doing with the door closed?"

"You girl, don't tell me before you come." Mashima said kindly, "I just came in from inside, I'm too tired, I'm sitting in the yard to get some air...Tagawa, you're here too?"

In the yard, first a girl with a short stature but a beautiful face walked in holding Mashima's arm. It should be the only daughter of Muramasa Hayao, Miko.Behind the two, a tall and handsome man followed closely behind.Mashima turned on a switch next to the cherry tree, and a lamp hanging between the two trees immediately lit up.

"Sit down." Mashima said, and stroked the tip of Miko's hair with a smile, "Miko, why have you lost so much weight?"

"I'm doing exercise to lose weight. Tagawa always said that I have a fat baby face." Miko said with a smile, and glanced at the handsome man again, her eyes were full of love.

"Don't listen to his nonsense! Miko's face is the most standard, why lose weight? It's not good to be hungry!" Mashima said, and glanced at the man named Tagawa.

Ouyang Kai and Luo Hong saw it very clearly from their perspective: Mashima was not that friendly to this Tagawa, and even annoyed him a bit.But Tagawa didn't seem to mind, and smiled at Miko, "Look? You just want to lose weight, why did you mention me? I got scolded by Uncle Mashima."

Mashima ignored Tagawa, and supported Miko's shoulders to let her sit down. Before Miko could sit still, she chirped again: "Uncle Mashima, I'm here to say goodbye to you for a short time. The school will be on holiday soon. , I want to go on a trip with Tagawa and a few classmates!"

"Travel? Where are you going?" Mashima immediately cast a wary glance at Tagawa.

"It's going to Southeast Asia!" Meizi said with a smile, "I heard that the scenery in that area is beautiful, and there are tropical jungles, it's fun..."

"What are you doing so far? You are not allowed to go anywhere! Come to Uncle when you are on vacation and help me manage the tavern!" Mashima suddenly interrupted Miko's words angrily, and at the same time turned his disgusted eyes to Tagawa again, angrily Said, "Tachuan, did you hear what I said?"

"But...we even booked the air ticket!" Miko said reluctantly.

Tagawa smiled, and said with a pun, "Uncle Mashima, how can the scheduled itinerary be changed?"

"You..." Mashima was at a loss for words for a while, but he didn't know what to say. He paused and said angrily, "Anyway, don't go! What's the matter... I'll solve it!"

"Uncle Mashima——" Miko stretched her small face, and coquettishly grabbed Mashima's arm, "Uncle Mashima, just let me go, I promise nothing will go wrong, Aritagawa is here, he Will take good care of me!"

Mashima's face turned livid, and he couldn't speak for a while, so he pointed to the front and said, "Miko, go to the front and help me first, I want to talk to Tagawa alone, um... I have to tell him a few words!"

"Got it!" Miko smiled innocently, ran up to Ta Chuan and scratched his nose playfully, then ran to the front, Ta Chuan smiled smugly.

Mashima quickly closed the door with a cold face, and when he turned around, he grabbed Tagawa's collar and growled viciously, "Damn it! What are you doing?"

"Mashima-kun, you'd better let me go." Tagawa's tone was full of arrogance, not at all like when Miko was present just now, "It was Madam's order to take Miko to Southeast Asia, Madam personally explained, she will take Miss Miko always with you..."

"What...what is she going to do?" Mashima was stunned for a moment, and said incoherently, "What...what is she going to do? She promised me back then that she would not tell Miko...I will tell her personally ... Miko had an accident, how could she explain to Muramasa-kun?"

"Mashima-kun, why are you so worried?" Tagawa sneered sternly, "Looking at you now, I doubt that you are really loyal to Takao Muramasa. Ok?"

"Don't use your wife to pressure me!" Mashima already felt that his words were wrong, but he still said angrily, "Don't you know what I did for my wife back then? I just didn't want anything to happen to Miko. Tagawa, I warn you, don't think about Miko!"

"It can't be helped, Miko loves me so much now!" Tagawa smiled triumphantly.

"Bastard!" Mashima was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him, but the wooden door suddenly opened, and Miko ran in smiling again.When Mashima saw it, he quickly changed the fist gesture into stroking his neck, and gave Tagawa a vicious look behind Miko's back.

"Uncle Mashima, have you finished your instructions? You agreed, right?" Miko ran to Mashima and said expectantly.

"Uncle Mashima only cares about you. How could he really object to our trip to Southeast Asia? Miko, when we come back, we must bring some specialties from Southeast Asia to Uncle Mashima." Tagawa said ambiguously.

"Of course!" Miko jumped up and down happily, "Uncle Mashima, then it's settled, let's go!"

Miko grabbed Tagawa's hand and walked out without looking back. Mashima hesitated to speak, and after they went out, he punched the cherry tree hard.Ouyang Kai and Luo Hong came out and asked Mashima what was going on.

Mashima sat weakly on the chair, and said with a cold face: "That Hirojun Tagawa is one of the killers sent by Harumi Nakata to control Miko. When Harumi Nakata left country R, ​​I wanted to take Miko away with me. She strongly opposed it, and volunteered to help her control Meizi. But this suspicious woman was still wary of me, and soon stopped letting me interfere in controlling Meizi, and specially sent a few people to Xijing University to monitor her. And controlling Miko, this Tagawa is one of them. On the surface, he is Miko’s classmate, but in fact he is Nakata’s confidant, but Miko, a silly child, has no idea, and actually fell in love with this Tagawa... Alas! Sometimes I really want to tell her the truth, but in that case, I just..."

"Mr. Mashima, I have always had a question. Since Harumi Nakata is going to kill Mr. Muramasa, why does she keep Miko? Does she still have compassion?" Ouyang Kai asked.

"Hmph! This femme fatale who wants to kill her own husband, how can she have any conscience?" Mashima said angrily, "She kept Miko only for Mr. Muramasa's inheritance!"

"Inheritance?" Ouyang Kai and Luo Hong asked in unison.

"Yes." Mashima said, "This is actually the cleverness of Muramasa-kun. At the beginning, Mr. Muramasa made a will. If he died, all the inheritance in foreign banks would be inherited by Miko. If Miko After death, the inheritance will be automatically donated to international charities. The woman was crazy about the inheritance. On the one hand, she tried every means to kill Mr. Muramasa; on the other hand, as long as Mr. Muramasa died, the inheritance would go to Miko At that time, she could easily kill Meizi, and according to the laws of country R, ​​as Meizi's stepmother, she is of course the final heir of the estate!"

"Did Mr. Muramasa not divorce her?" Luo Hong asked.

Mashima smiled and said, "Of course we can't leave! Think about it carefully?"

Luo Hong suddenly realized, and explained to herself: "That's right, if Muramasa divorced Nakata, Nakata would not be able to count on the inheritance, and she would still kill Miko to vent her anger. Mr. Muramasa is indeed a smart man, see It turned out that he had seen through Nakata's greed and thought of this method, otherwise, once Nakata gave up the idea of ​​inheriting the inheritance, Miko would be equally dangerous."

"Give up?" Mashima sneered, "Not to mention someone as greedy as Nakata, even an ordinary person would never give up that inheritance easily! It's the half-life savings of Mr. Muramasa, it's an astronomical figure." !"

"What we heard from your conversation just now is that Nakata is going to bring Miko to Southeast Asia?" Ouyang Kai asked.

"Yes!" Mashima became worried again, "It seems that this woman is still worried about Miko's absence, now that she has gained a firm foothold in Southeast Asia, she is going to put Miko by her side, what should I do!"

"I think it's a good thing!" Ouyang Kai suddenly laughed.

"What? What do you mean?" Mashima looked at Ouyang Kai in surprise.

"Because if this is the case, maybe we can easily find Harumi Nakata!" Ouyang Kai said.

"No! Absolutely not!" Mashima roared suddenly.
