Chapter 40 Section VI

The city was devastated. After Jia Shi's funeral, Shi Xiang had his internal organs ripped out, and he sat alone in an empty room all day long.There are photos of Jia Shi on the closet, and the electric lights and incense sticks are always on day and night, accompanying Jia Shi. The city even lost the strength to die.He was going to die with Ka-shi, but he had to give Ka-shi a funeral.He felt that Jia Shi's soul had gone somewhere.Even if he died now, he would not be able to catch up with her. He is strongly aware that he cannot die so easily. It was early March when Kashi's right knee was bruised.By the middle of the month, the wound started to hurt, and I went to the doctor in the middle of March.

Another three months passed since then, and Kashi disappeared from this world. Every day, Jiashi lives happily.Cleaning, bathing, and cooking are all taken for granted by herself.During this period, she studied at school and participated in basketball training. She is a restless person, everything must be done by herself, a hardworking and strong child. That's how Kashi died. The city thought, what is going on?He seemed to feel that something was wrong, like a nightmare.Won't Kashi come back at night? ——Is it because the father is a thief? The city guesses like this.Of course, others don't know Shi is a thief.The city said that he was engaged in the real estate industry.He rented a room in a building in Shinjuku, where he went to work every day.This is an office without a clerk.

This is just an office for Kashi to see. Needless to say, the city is rarely in the office.Thieves always sit in the office, that's the biggest joke in the world. After Kashi was born, Shi became cautious.If caught by the police, he will be disqualified from being a father.Although he didn't do much more, the police have been keeping an eye on him for a thorough investigation of the perpetrators because of his past convictions for theft.Since the city had already guaranteed it, he had to prove the credibility of his guarantee.For more than ten years, the city has come here like this.It is for these reasons that he does not relapse into old habits.

Naturally, Jia Shi would not know that his father was a thief.There is a parent visit day at the school.The parents of the students are not as old as Shi, but most of them are presidents, important government officials, rich men, doctors, etc. In short, other people's fathers are more handsome than Shi. The city doesn't even have a private car that anyone owns. Even so, Kashi was still willing to come to the school.The city was also very happy, and he also went to the school on the parents' visit day, and happily took on all the chores.He felt that doing so was for Kashi.At least, he wanted to relieve Jiashi's loneliness through this.

Now Kashi is dead. Shi felt that this might be retribution, God's punishment. Shi just sat, crying and muttering to himself from time to time.He felt that there was probably no worse father in the world than him.Jia Shi felt inferior because he couldn't show off his father like other students, and every time he thought about it, Shi felt like a knife was twisting in his heart. The city repented of his sins and locked himself in the room. I've been stuck at home for half a month, I can't eat well, I'm skinny, my face looks like a dead person's, and I don't have any vitality.

The city first returned the rented house and sorted out all the things. All that's left is Kashi's tablet and a photo. The city is already sixty years old, and there are not many years left.He planned to take Jiashi's tablet to pay homage to all the holy places in the country in his lifetime. Naturally, he had to do the business of stealing. Although Shi thought that it might be the retribution of heaven, he was still a materialist when analyzed.He doesn't believe in gods or Buddhas. On the contrary, he is full of hatred for this world that gave birth to Kashi and killed her.

Before leaving Tokyo, the city infiltrated a well-investigated family. In the middle of the night, the city was as light as an ape, climbing up the clothes pole of the house to the second floor, and entered the house through the window on the second floor.The second floor of most people's homes is not locked. In the bedroom, a middle-aged couple was sleeping on the bed, standing by the pillows, holding a kitchen knife in their hands, and calling for someone.He woke the woman up first, and when she opened her eyes, he gagged her. "I'll kill you if you make a sound!" he threatened hoarsely.He's used this approach to success before.He asked the other party to put their hands behind their backs, and then tied their thumbs with wires. Usually, the host would just stand by and watch, fearing that the robber would hurt the hostess with a kitchen knife, so he dared not act rashly.

Moreover, even if the hostess screamed, the host did not dare. This couple is just that. He used a kitchen knife to force the hostess in transparent pajamas to tie her hands behind her back, and the hostess who was trembling blankly was also tied up.The couple was then tied to the legs of a bed and stuffed in their mouths.The market is out of the bedroom, and the matter is not over yet.He found out in advance that there was an old man and two children in the family. He went downstairs quietly. There is a room on each side of the corridor.Lights were on in the hallway.The city tiptoed forward, and a sliding window in front suddenly opened.

A middle-aged man was inside the window. Shi was stunned and didn't know what to do for a while.The broad shoulders of this middle-aged man were casually dressed in the bathrobe on his body, and the hair on his chest was knotted. This man had a fierce look. "Don't shout, or I will kill you!" Shi finally stretched out the kitchen knife. "Don't yell." The man didn't seem alarmed. The city felt ominous in his composure.Generally, when people encounter this kind of scene, they will be taken aback, and they will be so frightened that they can't speak for a while.

"Put your hands behind your back." "What are you doing in the back?" "Don't piss me off with nonsense!" He had never met such a person before, and he couldn't help being furious.He was also angry at his cowardice.He's never experienced anything like this.If the opponent is calm, he will not be able to escape.If you want to escape.The other party will definitely chase after him yelling. He regretted his carelessness.In the past, he had to go through a detailed understanding of how many people were in the family that night before he acted.He planned to get some travel expenses before going on a long trip, and he did not conduct a detailed investigation. He regretted it and broke out in a cold sweat.

This is also due to Kashi's death, which caused him to be in a trance. "Stop! Do you hear me?" The man took a step back, and calmly took off his bathrobe and wrapped it around his hands. His body was naked and his muscles were knotted. "Idiot!" the man taunted, "I'm a detective." "Interpol—" "No, you dare to do it?" "..." "how?" "Kill you!" "Attempted murder, bastard, put the knife down." "brute!" The city resisted.If arrested, it will be published in the newspaper.And it will also affect the tablets and photos of Kashi hidden in his arms.In this way, Kashi's classmates will know that her father turned out to be a robber. The city rushed over. The detective covered the kitchen knife with his yukata.Then there was a startling sound. Sliding windows were blown away and furniture fell down.How all this happened, the city is not clear, he just waved the kitchen knife indiscriminately.The criminal policeman was kicked down by him, including the person and the window; everything was over, and a wave of terror surged in Shishi's heart.There are also old people and children, if only this guy is easy to deal with.But it won't be long before the police will receive a report. The two wrestled together. The police officer suddenly let out a scream, and Shi jumped aside. The criminal policeman had a knife in his ass.The city picked up an overturned ashtray and hit him hard on the head.Seeing him collapse, Shi escaped desperately. The city believes that the criminal policeman will be seriously injured if he is not dead.The ashtray is glass and quite heavy.The skull was shattered, and the thought flashed in Shishi's mind. If the criminal policeman died, he would become a murderer. It's over, it's over. A kitchen knife was left at the scene and there were fingerprints on the ashtray.So far, the city has not left fingerprints at the scene.After a detailed investigation, you can prove that you are involved in this matter.Maybe kill that detective and leave fingerprints everywhere. The police checked the files of those with criminal convictions, and it didn't take long for the police to know that the city did it.Even if he took pains to go, people would know that the bandit was Ka-shi's father. Before Ishi's eyes, Kashi's classmates and their fathers frowned. The incident was reported in the evening papers the next day. The criminal police did not die, but the intermediary was slashed with a kitchen knife.Not a single word was mentioned about what was going on in the head. The city breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered that he was finally freed from his fear.But he couldn't quite relax. Although he didn't kill the detective, he might not be able to escape the fact that Kashi's father was known to be a thief.That worry still haunted him. The police must have identified the culprit from the fingerprint file as Shi.Although the Evening News did not mention the name of the city.But he fidgets.He thought maybe it wasn't such a big deal, that's why the morning paper didn't reprint it immediately.But this kind of wishful thinking does not give him much comfort. City left Tokyo. "So, what did the papers say later?" Reiko asked. The city described what happened in detail.Rather than telling Reiko, it is better to say it is confession.His voice continued in a low voice without stopping. Dawn came unconsciously. "There's nothing in the papers anymore." the city whispered. "Isn't it all right?" Reiko understood Ichi's inner pain.The city of thieves is completely different from the city of yearning for Kashi.She hated Ichi who was a thief, but she had no dislike for Ichi who missed Kashi so much.What will happen to Kashi's classmates and their parents if they learn that Shishi's father is a robber who has been in the real estate industry for a long time?In this regard, Reiko also found it difficult to accept. This would hurt Kashi's young soul. Ichi cried and called Kashi's name in his sleep because of the extreme pain.She felt that many crimes of theft committed by the city would be forgiven because of these tears. Compared with those gangsters who ganged up on humiliating Hanchuan's mother and threw both mother and daughter alive into the roaring sea in the storm, The theft in the city is nothing more than a trivial matter.Compared with the inhuman ugliness of five prosecutors and one lawyer, there is something cute about the city. The city leaned against the wall and looked at the window stained with dawn.His face looked old. "Do you have the tablets and photos of Kashi with you?" "Take it." "In the future, shall I burn incense for her?" "thanks." The city closed his eyes. "Then, why don't you settle down somewhere, and the tablet called Kashi also has a quiet place?" "I think so too. Ever since I stabbed the criminal policeman, somehow I have lost my strength to be a robber. I think it may be because of my age. Therefore, after worshiping the holy places of the whole country, it is time to be young. I used to live in Niigata at the time. This happened about ten days ago. As soon as I approached the station, the police suddenly surrounded me. The police remembered the photos on the arrest warrant. More than a dozen policemen chased me... " Shi opened his eyes and smiled wryly. "It's really dangerous." Reiko also smiled. She felt that she was so clear about the psychological dynamics of this old phantom thief who had something transparent deep in her heart—Ichigo.
