Chapter 4 Chapter two

The apartment I made an appointment with my mother is a ten-minute drive from Miss Yingzi's house.Originally planning to take a bus there, it happened that an empty taxi came in front of me, and Ms. Yingzi immediately hailed the taxi. Therefore, we arrived earlier than the agreed time, and I reluctantly bought three rice balls for lunch at the supermarket near the apartment, namely mentaiko fish roe, tuna mayonnaise and plum rice balls; mentaiko is too spicy, tuna mayonnaise is too spicy Salty, dried plums are not sour at all, the three rice balls are tasteless, and I can't forget my mother-in-law's fried pork with ginger, which makes me feel a little bad.

But even if the taste is a little bit worse, it can still fill my stomach. When I ate the three rice balls and drank tea to moisten my throat, my mother came.She was wearing a fluffy overcoat that is popular nowadays, but she wore a thick winter coat because of the cold weather in Asahikawa, which overemphasized her fat figure and looked like a tumbler. I couldn't help being a little disappointed with my mother's appearance. "Oops!" Mom twitched in surprise when she saw the two of us.I thought I should be surprised, and reluctantly introduced Ms. Sakurako. "Uh...Mom, this is..."

"I know! Isn't this the eldest lady of the Kutiao family!" Mom insisted on pulling me away a few steps, then patted my waist dissatisfied, and exclaimed in a low voice. "Huh? Do you know her?" "Of course! The Nanguang area where we live used to rent the land from the Jiutiao family! After World War II, the Jiutiao family slowly released their real estate, but now they are still the big landlords here!" "Well, I know her family is very big." Ms. Yingzi's house is really big. Although there are only her mother-in-law and her living together, there are ten rooms, and the yard is even more amazing. Two dolphins, a minke whale that died young, a brown bear, Three deer and three horses, and plenty of room.

"I heard that the old man sold off a lot of assets before he passed away. It's not as beautiful as before, but the lady of the Jiutiao family is still the real lady!" "Oh……" "Oh what! Why did you bring such a big man here!" "No, she came here on her own." "Ah?" Miss Yingzi looked at us whispering, puzzled, and then began to look around. "Well, anyway, don't worry about Ms. Yingzi's affairs." "How can I ignore it!" "It doesn't matter, anyway, Miss Yingzi always does whatever she wants."

"Do whatever you want?" "Yes, she is as willful as a child." "Little brother, I heard Luo." Miss Sakurako stared at the window of the apartment without even looking at me, her tone was obviously not happy.This apartment is quite old, and it is a second-hand house that my mother is good at renovating and renting out. It is as conservative as other apartments and has no characteristics. "Hahaha...you heard that." "But your judgment is correct, just pretend that I am not here." Hearing what Ms. Yingzi said, my mother faltered in a panic: "Uh...it's so cold here, do you want to find a place to have a cup of tea first?"

Mom seemed to meet Ms. Yingzi's eyes, and quickly pointed to a coffee shop diagonally opposite the apartment. Seeing her bowing and bowing, she was extremely respectful. "Don't worry about me." Miss Yingzi refused straight away, grabbed my arm, glanced at my mother, and dragged me forward. "I'm getting impatient, let's go." "No, how can you open the door casually when the tenant's family members come over?" "It's really annoying, which one is it?" Miss Yingzi kept stomping the ground with her left foot like an angry rabbit. I quickly asked my mother which one it was.

"Oh, the front room on the second floor lives in a young lady named Mizushima." "Huh?" I felt as if I had been hit on the forehead, and my eyes were full of stars. "Miss Mizushima?" "That's right, she said she's getting married soon and plans to move, I really hope nothing happens inside..." "how come……" I thought it was another old man, but I didn't expect the tenant to be a young lady, and she was also Miss Mizushima? "After all, she is still young, and her family will inevitably be poor and nervous." "Yes, yes."

That's right, the family must be nervous, because I know this "Miss Mizushima".I'm not saying that it doesn't matter what happens to people you don't know, but hearing that you're an acquaintance will inevitably hurt you even more. I can't even imagine what kind of trouble Ms. Mizushima has encountered. "She will be fine..." I thought of her slender and pure figure, and told myself that she was sure everything was safe, but suddenly trembled with fear. "The front of the second floor...is that the one? The curtains are not drawn." "true."

"It doesn't make sense not to open the curtains at this time, right? This means that she either went out at night and didn't come home, or died before dawn." "Please don't talk indiscriminately!" Ms. Sakurako seemed to be frightened by me, so she rarely kept her mouth shut. "Hey, why are you talking like that to Miss Kutiao's family!" My mother hurriedly moved her cheeks, and I was so angry that I grabbed my mother's shoulders and pushed her away. "By the way, isn't it already one thirty? Why hasn't her family come yet?" Mom said.

"I think it's almost here..." "I'm not going to make a phone call to confirm!" "It's not good to urge people like this." "Little brother?" "What's up?" Miss Yingzi watched my mother and I go back and forth, pointing forward inadvertently, I looked in that direction, and there was a figure running across the road towards here, and after spotting us, he quickened his pace. The one who came quickly was a woman, wearing a white coat, clenched her hands tightly, about 160 centimeters tall, I don't know if she is following the trend, she has fair skin but wears a conspicuous bright orange blush. She's gorgeous; her hair is not long, with big waves and curls, and even I can tell she's a fashionable woman.

"Excuse me, are you the landlord here?" "Yes, my surname is Tatewaki." The woman quickly let go of her hands clenched in front of her chest, and straightened the collar of her coat. Under the coat, she seemed to be wearing only a thin pink nurse's uniform. Although it was a trousers style, it was not warm at all today. It must be very cold in this way. "Sorry to keep you waiting." As soon as she came in front of us, she bowed her head immediately, and the name tag of "Mizushima" was hung on the swinging coat; when she raised her head, a sweet scent of perfume came to her nostrils. "Excuse me, are you Miss Mizushima's family?" "Yes, I'm her younger sister, Haomei. Mom originally wanted to come with her, but she accidentally slipped and fell on the snowy road the day before yesterday and hurt her back." "Oh...the road was slippery the day before yesterday!" Mom's tone was exaggerated, showing concern, but then she asked, "After all, I'm going to open the door of someone else's house. Can I confirm my ID first?" "Is a driver's license okay?" "Yes, as long as you have your name and photo." The self-proclaimed beautiful woman took out a wallet from her coat pocket, which was a brand-name long wallet.It was cold, and with stiff fingers she opened the wallet and took out her driver's license. "Mizushima...Miss Haomei...Okay, that's fine." "Is that all right?" "Can I ask the name of Mingtang again?" "My mother? Her name is Miyoko Mizushima." "Beautiful beauty, the generation of the times, the son of the child, right?" "right." "I'm sorry, according to the rules, you have to ask the name of the guarantor on the contract." "Won't." Even in an emergency, follow the rules.Miss Haomei accepted her mother's careful identity check, but she couldn't help but glance at the second-floor house, wishing she could go over and have a closer look.I don't know if my mother understands her feelings, but she takes out documents from her briefcase to confirm. "According to the rules, you need to sign a consent form." I can well understand Miss Haomei's anxiety, so I also feel impatient when my mother takes out a consent form and asks someone to sign it. "Is it ophthalmology?" Miss Yingzi suddenly asked. "What?" Miss Haomei, who was taking the ballpoint pen from her mother, blinked in surprise. "I said the hospital where you work." "Why do you ask?" "Looking at you wearing these shoes, the hospital should not be far away." Hearing that, I looked down at her feet—it was a pair of red Crocs waterproof shoes. Even if it didn’t snow today, I shouldn’t wear these kind of shoes that aren’t warm enough to go out in winter. "On the way here by taxi, I saw two hospitals nearby, namely the Internal Medicine Pediatric Hospital and the Eye Hospital. Pink nurse uniforms are usually worn by pediatric nurses. At first I thought you were from the Pediatric Department..." When Miss Yingzi said this, she tapped the end of her eyes. "what?" "There's a little circle in the makeup at the end of your eye." Miss Haomei signed the document brought by her mother, her expression even more surprised and suspicious. "That should be the trace of using the laser cell glare instrument. I know a nurse who switched to the ophthalmology department and secretly told me that the ophthalmology nurses pay more attention to the equipment than to the patients." "Well, maybe, I didn't know when I first started." After signing the consent form, Ms. Haomei let out a sigh of relief and smiled bluntly. She must be thinking about the origin of Ms. Yingzi. "Wow, so you are really an eye nurse Luo!" Mom exclaimed loudly, completely ignorant of how to read words and expressions. "Yes, it's over there at the eye clinic." Miss Haomei nodded, and her mother said to Miss Yingzi with admiration: "Wow, it's amazing, I can't see it at all." Ms. Yingzi didn't care about her mother's praise, after all, her purpose was not to be praised, but to spy on some hidden facts. The only person Ms. Yingzi respects is her uncle. This uncle once said a word to her, and I have heard it over and over again: "Truth is like a bone. Although it is hidden under the skin, fat and flesh, it supports everything silently. Things must be related, just like living things must have flesh and blood." That's why Ms. Yingzi is full of thirst for knowledge, because she likes bones the most, and she can't help but want to find out the unknown parts of society like peeling off the flesh of an animal. "Okay, it's time to go upstairs." Mom was upset by Miss Yingzi's indifference, and blushed a little with anger, but she still politely said to her: "We have business to do, Miss Kutiao should go to the coffee shop a little……" Miss Yingzi still didn't take it seriously, and said without authorization: "The second floor? Let's go." She completely ignored my mother's stinky face, and took the lead to go up the stairs, followed by me, Miss Haomei and my mother. "Come up to the first room, right?" Ms. Yingzi climbed up to the second floor first and stood between the two doors. I nodded first.Ms. Mizushima's room is the door on the left hand side in front of me, that's right, but there is no door plate.Miss Sakurako was wearing black leather gloves, and she was holding the doorknob with one hand. "Sure enough, it's locked." She twisted hard, reconfirmed the sound of the leather gloves rubbing against the door panel, and then looked at me.Miss Haomei next to me looked even weirder, as if she was asking: "Why did you let this person open the door first?" "Is it really impossible to get in touch at all?" I hurriedly asked Ms. Haomei, trying to change the atmosphere. "Yeah, no text messages, no phone calls." "Will you always come back?" Miss Yingzi interrupted suddenly. "Let's think about it... She and her fiancé talk on the phone more or less every day." "How much does it mean?" "It's very normal, why I'm off work, what's for dinner, some irrelevant content." "Ha ha ha ha!" Ms. Yingzi burst into laughter suddenly, and Ms. Haomei was taken aback. She stared at me and hoped that I could explain clearly.She should think that there is nothing to ask, right?Yes, this is indeed normal for couples with mobile phones. "Miss Yingzi!" This attitude is undoubtedly a mockery to me and Ms. Haomei. I hurriedly tugged at the cuff of Ms. Yingzi's coat, telling her to calm down, but she curled her lips casually and said, "Just like the "Manyoshu" said, 'The winter snow disappears in the spring, and your heart is even more snowy, and there is no news at all. 'so?" "what?" "I didn't expect this to be considered normal. It's like the 'Heian Era' unknowingly becoming the 'Heisei Era'." Ms. Sakura sneered. Miss Haomei couldn't understand at all, so she looked to me for help; I was also confused, but the meaning must be to look down on Miss Haomei.Really, that's her bad habit. "Anyway, let's unlock it first." I quickly asked my mother for the key, trying to open the door before Miss Sakurako ruined everyone's mood. "Maybe she just wants to meditate for herself? People often say that premarital depression..." "..." I heard that Ms. Mizushima was about to get married, and I was optimistic about Ms. Mei's gloomy face, so I opened my mouth to smooth things over, but she didn't respond, as if to say: "I am the only one who knows about my sister." Sisters are really different creatures, just like my brother and I have a good relationship, but he doesn't know me very well, and I don't know him completely.I'm not as ignorant as Ms. Yingzi. If an acquaintance suddenly loses contact, it doesn't necessarily mean that a tragedy happened. I opened the lock with complicated emotions, but I was really embarrassed to open the door directly, so I gave way to Miss Haomei to go first.She took a deep breath and grabbed the doorknob. Click!There was a metallic sound, and the door jammed halfway through. "what……" "An anti-theft chain is attached." Miss Yingzi raised her eyebrows and said.Miss Haomei and I looked at each other, our faces livid. "Oh, it's really nerve-wracking." Mom said in a relaxed manner, it seems that she doesn't understand the meaning of wearing an anti-theft chain. "What should I do? Do you want to drive it?" I asked, only to realize how stupid I was. "Troublesome..." "Is it really possible? You will be charged for repairing the chain if you cut it." Mom's tone was troublesome, so I quickly grabbed her arm. "Why?" I dragged my unhappy mother down the stairs. "Think about it! Doesn't the anti-theft chain mean that there are people inside!" "Ouch! It's terrible!" Only then did my mother realize the seriousness of the situation. That's right, there is an anti-theft chain on the door, which means that the door is locked from the inside, and there must be someone inside.Of course, the person inside is not necessarily Miss Mizushima, but there seems to be no movement.Mom hurriedly took out the hydraulic shears from the tool box in the rear compartment. "Uh... I'll leave this to you." Mom handed me the tools, looking scared and bewildered. I had expected that she would entrust me with such a difficult job. I went up the stairs and went back to Miss Yingzi and Miss Haomei. Miss Haomei was shaking with fright. Maybe Miss Yingzi was talking nonsense to her again.I really shouldn't have left these two alone, and I can't help but feel guilty for Miss Good Beauty. But what I should do now is to solve the problem of anti-leech. "I think this should cut it." "Please." I showed the hydraulic shears in my hand, and she bowed to me. This was the last request I ever wanted to ask for help in my life. I first grasped the handle tightly, tried to practice a few times, and then took a deep breath: my heart was extremely nervous and apprehensive, and I felt that the scene in front of me was unreal, and the doorknob was out of reach. This feeling was incredible.But now is not the time to be in a daze. In the current situation, I don't know whether the police will be accepted, so I can only grit my teeth and close my mouth. "..." I slowly pulled the door all the way open, but there was still no movement in the room, and I had an urge to run away.With my trembling fingers, I selected the position where the chain was easier to cut, and firmly aligned the oil pressure cutter. When I was about to exert my strength, Miss Yingzi's warm body came up from behind. "Sakura, Miss Sakurako?" "After the door opens, we should go in first." Ms. Yingzi whispered to me. "what?" "Smell. If you don't want to regret it, let me go ahead." "The taste is..." Ms. Yingzi left behind me without answering my question. Hearing what she said, my heart became even more flustered, and I couldn't help sniffing the smell coming from the house, but I only smelled the lavender fragrance in the porch, which was extremely strong. "..." I can't be fooled by Ms. Sakurako anymore, so I try to concentrate.This thing is not difficult, it just needs some strength, I took a deep breath again, and concentrated on holding the handle tightly. The gazes of Ms. Yingzi, Ms. Haomei and my mother from behind brought me a lot of pressure. I started to exert force. The anti-theft chain is not so easy to cut, but my arm strength is not to be underestimated.I gritted my teeth and tried harder, the anti-theft chain made a muffled sound and snapped in response - Miss Yingzi opened the door and slipped in quickly. "Miss Sakura!" I hurriedly stopped her, but she ignored me and took off her shoes and went into the room.There is no way, I can only sigh secretly, and look back at the panicked Miss Haomei. "If you have no objection... is it convenient for me to go in first?" "..." "If there is any problem, you can't handle it alone...ah, I won't even touch the things inside!" This suggestion was a bit reluctant, but Miss Haomei simply nodded and agreed: "Please." "what?" Miss Good Beauty nodded again—no, closer to bowing. "But... is this okay?" "It's okay, please." "But……" I couldn't hide my confusion, but she seemed to give up, maybe she didn't want to be the first to see the last side of her family. "It must be all right." Miss Haomei choked up for a while, bit her lower lip, blushed and nodded her head twice. I know this is meaningless consolation, but I also hope that is the case. "Then bother you." I bowed to Miss Haomei, entered the room first, and took off my shoes amidst the fragrance of lavender.Miss Yingzi had already gone in, the entrance was quite tidy, there were no other shoes on the floor except ours. "Hmm..." The situation in the room made me have no time to take care of Ms. Yingzi, and through the half-open living room door, I could see the scene of the living room. "It's too miserable... What's going on?" I couldn't help blurting out.Although the curtains were closed tightly, the lights in the living room were turned on, and the scene in front of me was horrible. ——The house was smashed. This is how I feel right now.Of course it wasn't Ms. Yingzi who did it, because she didn't hear the sound, even if she was good at messing things up, she couldn't do it in a short time. Someone must have smashed the house before we broke in. The clean and tidy living room turned into a mess, with shattered glasses, toppled ornamental plants, cut magazines, dropped TVs, and torn first-aid kits—it was as if a small tornado had just blown through the house. Miss Yingzi was no longer in the living room, so I looked for her carefully to avoid stepping on anything; it's not right to peek at other people's personal belongings while passing by the scattered living room, but I still couldn't help but look around.The monthly issue of the cookery magazine with the cover saying "the beauty of homemade jam", a neatly arranged photo album (it turned out to be a scrapbook), tea bags from a black tea specialty store, and a box of British natural soap purchased online... Miss Mizushima Sure enough, even the little things in the house are very elegant. "Miss Sakurako, this is really not good." Miss Sakurako seems to have gone to the bedroom.I found that the sofa cover was half lifted, and there was a pair of pink underwear hanging on it, so I quickly looked away. "Where are you?" "Little brother, this way." I was so ashamed that my cheeks were burning hot, I looked around and found Miss Yingzi's voice coming from inside, so I walked there, and sure enough, through the half-closed bedroom door, I caught a glimpse of Miss Yingzi's butt in jeans. "Don't touch other people's things in the house." I leaned against the half-closed door and warned Miss Yingzi who was squatting in front of the bed. "Miss Sakurako?" "..." She didn't answer, she took off her leather gloves, put on the disposable rubber gloves she carried with her, and tugged on them a few times. "Miss Sakurako?!" This action made me feel cold all over, and at the same time, I saw a scene I didn't want to see. "This..."—how could it be?I can't say these three words.Although I had made some psychological preparations, the ominous premonition came true. "No...it's not true..." My legs softened, and I knelt down on the ground. What came to my nostrils was the smell of urine that had been left for a long time, and a faint smell of corpses. "Is this woman a tenant?" I covered my mouth and kept nodding. Ms. Mizushima's upper body was hanging on the edge of the bed, and her lower body was paralyzed on the ground, falling at Ms. Sakurako's feet. "The smell isn't that bad, and if it wasn't for the ammonia stink from incontinence, I wouldn't have noticed." "what……" I couldn't believe the scene in front of me. Ms. Mizushima's expression was distorted, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was open and her tongue was sticking out. She was in pain. Such a beautiful Miss Mizushima... The originally slender and soft fingers turned black and purple and distorted, showing the pain of the owner before death; the chest of the jacket was torn open, revealing one side of the chest, but I didn't think it was sensational at all, because the blue complexion was very frightening. "Woo..." In the midst of grief, it was as if a fiery claw was clawing at my heart. Fear, anger, and loathing came at me all at once. Tears came to my eyes and I felt sick to my stomach at the same time. I often think, if someone close to us suddenly has an accident, apart from sadness, why do we still feel unbearable fear and physical disgust?And this kind of reaction made me even more sad and unwilling. I was still venting my emotions, so I could only cover my face and lie down on the ground. I was too scared to look carefully, I didn't want to remember her last side, but as soon as I closed my eyes, her staring eyes appeared in my mind-ah, I will never forget her eyes in my life! "Well, lightly pressing the corpse spot will disappear, is the room well lit?" "No, I don't think so..." "The cornea looks a little cloudy, but it's not as dry as expected...but the pupils are dilated." Miss Yingzi pulled the gloves again, and with a snap, it should have been taken off. "The corpse is still very stiff, and the abdomen has not changed color. Judging from the temperature here, the time of death should be less than 24 hours." I looked up, and Miss Yingzi showed a happy expression. I really hate her for making fun of other people's deaths. "Sister!" A sharp voice suddenly came from behind, "Ah... how could this happen! Sister! No..." I forgot that Miss Haomei was still there. "How could it be... Sis! The day before yesterday I was still alive and kicking, I don't believe it!" Miss Haomei came in to check when I couldn't go out. As soon as I entered the room, she rushed to Miss Mizushima's bed and squatted down. "The house is so messy... What's going on? Sister! What's wrong with you!" Miss Haomei cried bitterly while hugging Miss Mizushima's body. I'm so sorry I hurt her, I should have calmed down and conveyed the news of someone's tragic death in a more tactful way... Oh, how stupid I was. "How could this be... what should I do?" Miss Homi caressed the bangs on Miss Mizushima's face, choked up and murmured. "We should call the police first." "what?" "There is a dead body in the room, of course the police will be replaced." "The corpse...you!" The rude tone angered Miss Haomei. "Miss Yingzi!" I also felt very angry, and couldn't help but yell at Miss Yingzi. She opened her eyes wide in fright, then pouted and stared at me angrily. No more empathy. "Well, I also think we should call the police first...and it's better not to mess with the water...uh, things in Miss Qingmei's room." In this case, you should call the police first.I was about to say the four words Miss Mizushima when I suddenly remembered that Miss Haomei was also surnamed Mizushima, and this was the first time I called Miss Mizushima by her name. ——Pure and beautiful. From the first time I heard this name, I felt that it was worthy of the name. Now I am asked to call out such a beautiful name, but I feel sad from it. "What's the meaning?" "Hmm... At present, it looks like someone smashed into the house, and some kind of crime may have occurred." "You mean, my sister was killed?" "There is a possibility." "How could it be! Why did you kill my sister!" Of course, Miss Haomei doesn’t think that her sister will be involved in crimes, and I am the same; but in fact, not only bad people will be involved in crimes. No matter how law-abiding people are, they may suddenly be killed by strangers. Seconds, such a tragic fact may be happening, we just don't want to see it, and we don't want to believe that death is always around us. "Doctor—" The voice of my mother talking to someone came from the door. I was still wondering who it was, and Miss Haomei stood up in surprise. "It's so beautiful? What's going on?" There was a man wearing a shirt and the same overcoat as Miss Haomei. He was shocked when he saw the messy house, and walked into the house while talking. "Doctor! Sister, she..." The man just came to the center of the living room, Miss Haomei ran up to him, lay on his chest and wept loudly, the cry was so shrill, as if she wanted to express the suppressed emotions in her chest, she was extremely sad. "What happened?" "Ah, he said he was Miss Mizushima's fiancé." Mom said at the door. She refused to enter the house to the death, and just seeing the tearful Miss Haomei, she had a clear picture of the situation in the house, and her face seemed solemn.In addition to sympathizing with Miss Haomei, she should also be thinking that this room has become a haunted house, and it will be difficult to rent out in the future.The man is a bit confused, but still caresses her back tenderly and nods to us: "My surname is Hashiguchi. I'm a doctor at a nearby ophthalmology clinic and Kiyomi's fiancé." "Hello." The young man surnamed Qiaokou seems to be a few years older than Ms. Qingmei, with a clean and refreshing appearance, but under the white robe is wearing an unusually conspicuous pink tie. At first glance, it doesn't match Miss Qingmei's style. ...If Kiyomi-san marries this person, I should be very disappointed.In my personal imagination, I think that Miss Qingmei's fiancé should be a more dull person. The character of my fiancé Mr. Hashiguchi is not important now, the important thing is that I hate such a sad reunion. After all, I am heartbroken, but it is too painful to watch her relatives and friends sad. "Where's Qingmei?" "There..." I pointed down to the bedroom. "No way... Qingmei!" Mr. Hashiguchi and Ms. Haomei both entered the bedroom, I lowered my head, passed them, and rushed to the door. "How can you attract Qingmei like this! Qingmei!" "sister!" There were two mournful shouts behind me, and I couldn't help but choked up. "Woo..." I tried to swallow my tears, but suddenly felt nauseous. I quickly covered my mouth, bent down and tried my best to restrain my crying and stomach acid.Ms. Sakurako looked at me and the other two, and sighed extremely bored. Sometimes, I feel that even her heart is a cold, hard bone. "Miss Sakura--" I was about to complain to her when she immediately raised her hand to tell me to shut up. "Telephone." Then, palms up, she urged me to hand over my smartphone. "what?" "Hurry up and call the police, this will never end." "Yes, yes." She was right, the two people in the room were sad, and my mother could only pace the door, we were the only ones left to do things, so we had to move quickly—just as I was about to call the police, Miss Yingzi suddenly Stretched out thin white fingers, snatched my smartphone. "Uh, what's the matter?" She skillfully slid up the phone, and said to the phone in a few seconds: "It's me, little brother, her mother is an apartment renter, and the body of the tenant was found in one of the houses. I don't know if there is any criminal suspicion. He should have died within a day." , I am too lazy to go through the formalities, so I leave it to you. The address is..." Ms. Yingzi glanced at the messy letters on the low table, and read out the address of this apartment fluently. From her tone, the person who answered the phone should be Brother Yuan. Brother Zaiyuan is Ms. Yingzi's fiancé, works in the Public Security Department of the police, is handsome, smart, and sympathetic; the strange thing is, he is submissive in front of Ms. Yingzi.Brother Zaiyuan is older than Ms. Yingzi, and the two have played together since they were young, and they are so-called childhood sweethearts. "After the notification, they should send someone over immediately." Throwing her smartphone to me, she reached for the cluttered letters on the low table and the bag that had been ripped open and falling out. "Miss Sakura! Don't touch it!" "why?" "There is a suspicion of crime here." She didn't care about my haste to stop her, and continued to search for the things in Miss Qingmei's bag. "How can there be? Isn't there an anti-theft chain on the door?" "That's right..." Ms. Yingzi has a strange habit: After taking out all the things in the bag, she will arrange them in an orderly manner. The mobile phone, the key ring with the key on it, the coin purse, the coin purse, and the coin purse—the three sizes are all different. Different coin purses, as well as tissues, towels and ballpoint pens. "Ok." There seemed to be a wallet in the bag, she opened it casually and found that there was still money in it, then closed it again and put it back on the table. "Shouldn't it be a thief?" "Probably, I checked everywhere, and every window in every room is locked properly." The credit cards and other items are still there, which means that the purpose of this case is not to seek money, which makes me shudder from the bottom of my heart-is it a vendetta or a rape?The messy house is clearly a sign of her resistance, and her exposed breasts... "Woo... vomit..." Thinking of how miserable it was when she was tortured and killed, I finally couldn't help but fell to the ground, grabbed the overturned trash can nearby and vomited, and the undigested rice balls gushed out of my throat hotly. Without saying a word, Ms. Yingzi found an unfinished bottled tea from my school bag and handed it to me; I took the tea, rinsed my mouth and took another two sips. My throat still hurt a little, but at least it didn’t Nausea.I put the bottled tea at my feet and hugged my body so tightly that I was afraid to tear off the sleeves of my own coat. "Who did this..." "What do you mean?" Miss Yingzi blinked in surprise, her attitude surprised me. "Why do you ask?" "Didn't I just say that all the windows are locked well, this is a secret room." "Huh?" There was a throbbing pain in my chest. "All the windows in the bedroom, bathroom, and living room are locked, and the door is also locked from the inside. Do you want to say that a secret room murder occurred here?" "The secret room?" I was so stunned that I couldn't speak. Miss Yingzi carefully put Miss Qingmei's belongings back into the bag, and finally put back a bunch of keys. That's right, this is a secret room, the door is locked from the inside, and the windows of the living room are also locked. The windows of other rooms should be the same as Miss Yingzi said. "how come……" The situation like a mystery novel made me lose my soul, and at this time I heard the sound of sirens in the distance. "The action is really fast." "Remember that brother Zai Yuan is from the Ministry of Public Security? You can be a police officer if you want to, right?" "Zoe's father is highly respected in the bureau, so it should be regarded as relying on connections. But he also said that the promotion of the police department is more difficult than the police department and the security department. Whoever teaches that unit is very insidious." Ms. Yingzi got up, handed me a handkerchief, and walked to the door. Only then did I realize that I not only shed tears, but also dripped a few drops of nose water. What a shame!Quickly wiped the handkerchief on his face, and smelled the sweet smell of clothes softener and the calm aroma of Miss Yingzi's house. "Let's go, I don't want to get involved with the police, to save trouble." "That's right, walking around indiscriminately will hinder Brother Yuan's work." Ms. Yingzi put on her shoes and was about to leave. Her handkerchief somewhat calmed me down. I quickly walked towards the door as she said. The door obscured her form, which relieved me for some reason. "etc!" Mom called to stop us, but I just said: "I'll leave it to you again." I walked down the stairs quickly and caught up with Miss Yingzi.I have done everything that should be done, and I will not suffer retribution if I leave it to my mother to deal with it later. "In short...don't just use him around just because he is your fiancé." "It's the matchmaker that my parents said, and I didn't do it voluntarily. He always does some grisly things, and it's just right to use him." "What are you talking about? He works in the third department of foreign affairs, but he wants to fight against international terrorists!" "You are really familiar with this aspect." "Looked up on Wikipedia before." "Well, like his father, he specializes in catching extreme leftists." After going down the stairs and coming to the road in front of the apartment, I thought that not talking about Miss Kiyomi would make me forget what happened just now, but it still couldn't be helped. "Then... where are you going next?" "If you stay here, you will be asked questions, which is very troublesome." "Yes, would you like to come to my house for a cup of tea?" "No need, the weather is fine, let's go to the coffee shop." Ms. Yingzi pointed to the coffee shop in front of the apartment. It turned out that she could see the scene from here. She didn't care about it, but she still cared about the case in her heart.We just dodged the warning lights of the police cars and rushed into the coffee shop.
