Chapter 54: Missing (1/2)

Driving a motorcycle, Masashi finally arrived at Aiko’s apartment and saw three of her classmates anxiously waiting for him at the door. Seeing Masashi, the three girls immediately gathered around him.

“Did you call the police yet?” Masashi came and asked.

“I’ve already reported it, but the police said that they could only file an investigation if the person has been missing for more than 24 hours. In the end, they just told us to wait.” Asami said very angrily.

“Did you notify Aiko’s family yet?”

“No, because we don’t know her parent’s phone number.”

Masashi thought for a while, “Are you sure she’s really missing? Tell me from start to finish what happened again.”

Asami after a pause said: “In the morning after you left, Aiko went with us to the cinema to see a movie. By noon, we ate out, then in the afternoon, we went to shopping at Roppongi. Until about 7 in the evening, right?” She looked at Ryoko, who was at her side.

Ryoko thought for a moment, then nodded.

“Aiko was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest. So, we just ended the day.

At 9:00, I called her at her home’s phone, but no one answered. So I called her cell phone, but still no one answered. I thought there was a problem, so I called their phones, but they also didn’t know where Aiko is. Tell me where’s Aiko, she’ll be all right, right?” Asami was getting more and more anxious. The other two also looked anxious.

“Calm down. Maybe things aren’t as you think. Did you go inside yet?”

“We don’t have the key to her house.”

Masashi thought for a moment, and along the house, there was a semi-circular balcony. Then he said: “You wait here, I’ll go in and open the door for you.”

“But how will you get inside?” Ryoko asked.

“Have you watched Spider-man?” After Masashi had finished speaking he went underneath the balcony, then stepping back, he suddenly forcefully jumped up, putting his hand up he seized the column of the second-floor balcony. Then immediately jumping to the balcony, every movement being proficient.

When Masashi opened the door from the inside, what visit him were three girls in a daze.

“Are you a monkey?” Asumi said in surprise.

“Miss, say it nicely okay? Call it agile.”

“You’re exaggerating, right? If you had said that you’re a thief, I’d believe you.”

The other two girls couldn’t help but laugh.

Masashi snappily looked at her.

Entering the hallway, Masashi turned on all the lights, carefully observing everything inside the house.

“Aiko, are you in there?” Asami shouted a few times, and then the three girls divided checking the kitchen, bathroom and other rooms inside the place.

Masashi stood for a moment, then hastily went to the kitchen pulling out Ryoko, “Take me to Aiko’s room.”

Ryoko nodded and went with Masashi to the second floor.

Arriving at the room, they saw Ai who had just come out from inside.
