200: Chapter 25: The Second Confrontation with the Policewoman_2 200: Chapter 25: The Second Confrontation with the Policewoman_2 Tang Zheng was about to deny it when Kobayakawa added a comment that nearly scared him stiff.
“You smell like a woman’s makeup.
Did you find the woman who left her address?” Kobayakawa, excited as if she’d discovered a new world, took a few steps toward the carriage.
“Hurry up, lead me to her and tell me how you did it.”
“Damn, won’t this expose us?” Tang Zheng rubbed his forehead frustratedly, then got her to back off.
“But getting caught and beaten up could be worse.”
“What are you waiting for, hurry up!” Kobayakawa beckoned, walking quickly.
“Forget about it, use the Memory Eraser.” Tang Zheng glanced at the passengers in the carriage, and quickly followed.
“Kobayakawa, I have something interesting to show you.”
“What is it?
Oh, you really found her.” As a policewoman, Kobayakawa Yumi had a decent memory, so she immediately saw Chikashima Airi sitting by the window, looking identical to the girl in the photo.
“It’s over, we need to change our strategy.” Tang Zheng was initially planning to forcibly use the Memory Eraser, but when he saw the puzzled gaze of Pang Meiqin wandering around him and Li Xinlan, he decided to slow down, else he would definitely be questioned.
After saying a few words to Chikashima Airi, Kobayakawa Yumi sat down, showing no intention of leaving.
“Where should I sit?” After casting a ‘wait-and-see’ glance at Lin Weiguo and the others sitting opposite him in the aisle, Tang Zheng asked with a smile.
“Here, the three of us can squeeze a bit.” Kobayakawa moved Airi towards the inside of the seat, sat slightly middle, and then patted the tiny spot made available.
She wasn’t afraid that Tang Zheng would brush against her, showing a very carefree attitude.
Little Fan Fan and Bai Guo furrowed their brows in confusion, while Li Xinlan and Pang Meiqin tried pretending not to recognize Tang Zheng.
Who knew what kind of person this suddenly appeared policewoman was?
Lin Weiguo, on the other hand, chuckled; Tang Zheng really was popular with the ladies.
Upon seeing Kobayakawa in her uniform and stockings, Zhang Hao and college student Zhang Yifeng were filled with envy and resentment towards Tang Zheng.
He’d just arrived in the Kyoto Prefecture for a day and a half, and he already hooked up with a beauty — and a policewoman at that.
“Aren’t you afraid of getting arrested?
But when did this guy make his move?
We’ve always been together, right?” Zhang Hao was confused, watching Tang Zheng conversing fluently in Japanese, he sighed.
“Are Japanese women this easy to seduce?
Or are these the advantages of mastering a foreign language?”
Zhang Hao swore to himself that once he got back he’d exchange for a Language Specialization.
He didn’t need Hindi anymore, he had no feelings for dark-skinned girls, they were too scary.
“Uncle, who is she?” Little Fan Fan asked.
“A friend who helped me find Airi’s address.” Tang Zheng didn’t skimp on the praise, as expected, the policewoman was satisfied with his response.
“So you’re Chikashima Airi?
The girl who wrote him the address from more than thirty years ago?
What exactly are your intentions towards him?” Kobayakawa asked, looking at Airi.
Airi looked to Tang Zheng, unsure how to respond; she’d already been warned not to talk about the Alien.
Tang Zheng nodded, then looked at Little Fan Fan and winked at her, signalling her to change the topic.
“Yes, he is a good person.” That was the best Airi could do to back Tang Zheng up, giving an ambiguous answer that could be interpreted in many ways.
Kobayakawa Yumi hmm’ed, looked at Lin Weiguo who was next to her, then her gaze slid towards the towering stack of bento boxes next to Little Fan Fan.
“Kobayakawa, let me introduce you.
These are all tourists heading to Tokyo.” Though he explained calmly to the policewoman, Tang Zheng inwardly cursed his oversight.
On hearing this, Zhang Hao jumped.
Zhang Yifeng muttered under his breath, “What is this guy trying to do?
Is he just losing his mind because he saw a Japanese policewoman?
Was it necessary to expose us too?”
“I see.” After casting another glance at Li Xinlan, Kobayakawa seemed relieved and started talking to Little Fan Fan, who was the only one who spoke Japanese.
Tang Zheng let out a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he hadn’t given Pang Meiqin a signal earlier to pretend not to know him or else he would’ve been exposed.
He grabbed a bento box and handed it over, winking.
“What’s this for?
Are you apologizing?” Zhang Hao caught it, totally confused.
“I get it.
The bento box, the leftovers are obviously eaten by all of us.
How can we possibly say we don’t know each other?” Pang Meiqin had a moment of clarity.
“Stop it, what if she understands Chinese?” Hu Meng cautioned.
“No way, Tang Zheng would have warned us by now.” Lin Weiguo didn’t believe that Tang Zheng would make such a rookie mistake.
Zhang Hao leaned back in his chair, sneaking glances at Kobayakawa’s silk stocking-covered calves, and her taut buttocks due to sitting down.
He felt as if he was enjoying Tang Zheng’s privileges and immensely enjoyed the situation.
Kobayakawa was entirely oblivious and had already joined in a Shogi game with Ai Li and Little Fan Fan.
Tang Zheng, of course, noticed.
So, he lifted the policewoman’s buttocks with his right hand, feigning nonchalance, “Move over a bit, I’m about to fall.”
“Is Fan Fan really playing Shogi for the first time?
She’s too good!” Kobayakawa moved her buttocks, completely unconcerned, and while doing so, her body pressed down on Tang Zheng’s hand.
Zhang Hao and Zhang Yifeng, witnessing all this, were seriously miffed; they covered their cheeks with a newspaper and pretended to sleep, out of sight, out of mind.
“Indeed, this is Fan Fan’s first time playing Shogi.” Ai Li placed a piece, her face becoming solemn as she confirmed it.
“So, you’re losing?” Tang Zheng glanced at the game board and involuntarily took a deep breath; Ai Li had lost most of her pieces and was in a bit of a predicament.
“Hehe, Little Fan Fan is a genius; checkmate!” Little Lolita moved her knight, and the game was decidedly hers.
“I lost.” Ai Li sighed in dejection, conceding defeat.
“She really only learned for less than fifteen minutes?” Kobayakawa looked at Ai Li, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she turned to look at Little Lu Fan.
Little Lolita was waving around the “Introduction to Shogi” book in a highly victorious manner.
“Impossible.
Play another game; I want to watch.” Kobayakawa’s face was full of disbelief.
“Hehe, actually, my chess skills are not as good as yours, but I still won.
Do you know why, Tang Zheng?” Little Fan Fan put away her triumph and, with humility, admitted her shortcomings.
She then started trying to score some brownie points with Tang Zheng.
“Getting two girls to like you in one strike, that’s a great bargain, even if the policewoman’s approval doesn’t seem useful.” Little Fan Fan muttered, suddenly saw Tang Zheng frown, and began to worry.
“Could it be that my uncle can’t figure out why?
Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?”
“Impossible.
Tang Zheng wasn’t here just now.
How could he know the reason?” This time it was Ai Li’s turn to be disbelieving.
Shaking her head, she said, “Even I don’t know why I lost.”
“You know?” Kobayakawa looked at him with curious eyes, full of expectation.
Tang Zheng looked at Bai Guo, who thought he was going to ask her to say something, but she opened her mouth and really didn’t know what to say.
She still didn’t understand the basic rules of Shogi.
“Shall we play another game?” Tang Zheng’s seemingly pointless question was, in reality, a way to indirectly gather information.
“No, maybe I’ll lose this time.” Little Fan Fan wanted to give her uncle a hint, but didn’t know how to go about it.
“You want to wait until the game is over to see the situation?
Where’s the fun in Sherlocking if you know everything?” Kobayakawa pouted, a bit disappointed.
“No worries, anyway, the next game will start soon.” Ai Li didn’t want to see Tang Zheng embarrassed and helped him out of his situation.
On hearing this, Tang Zheng’s eyes lit up, and he burst out laughing.
“You can’t possibly know already, can you?
Wouldn’t that make you more amazing than a monster?” Kobayakawa shook her head, “You were with me the whole time, and you didn’t watch the game at all.
There’s no way you could guess the reason.”
“Aha, I knew my uncle could figure this out!” Little Fan Fan had already started celebrating.
Ai Li, on the other hand, looked at Tang Zheng expectantly.
