Chapter 43 Section 43

Cheng Shi hesitated while moving his steps.How should I speak?Although he hadn't made up his mind yet, Cheng Shi still looked into the kitchen with his head.Setsuko was sharpening a kitchen knife alone in the kitchen.Looking up at the wall clock on the wall, it was past ten o'clock. "Mom." Cheng Shi gritted his teeth and called Jie Zi. Perhaps because of being too focused, Setsuko didn't seem to notice that Cheng Shi had already walked into the kitchen.She raised her head in astonishment and said, "Ah, I was shocked." "Where's Dad?" "Huh? Probably went to take a bath."

As expected.Of course, everything was actually calculated in reality, and I deliberately waited until this time. "I have something to ask you." Hearing what Chengshi said, Setsuko put down the kitchen knife in his hand.There was no trace of confusion on her face.On the contrary, she had a cold expression on her face.It seemed that she had already guessed what her daughter was going to ask. "What?" Setsuko asked softly. "A junior high school classmate of mine called me just now and had a chat with me. At the end of the chat, she asked me about Ogi." "Ogiki?" Setsuko frowned.

"She asked me if my family lived in Diqi when I was in junior high school. As for why she asked this question, she didn't give any explanation. But I guessed it roughly, she suddenly called me reason." "what reason?" Seeing Setsuko's eyes of giving up, Cheng Shi felt his heart sink.This is by no means self-concerned.A feeling of despair suddenly enveloped Chengshi's heart. She desperately warned herself not to cry, and spoke. "I think someone probably asked her where Narumi Kawabata lived when she was in junior high school. The person who asked her was probably a policeman. That's why she cared so much and called me specially."

"How do you know?" Setsuko had a blunt smile on her face, "It's possible that she suddenly thought of you and called to talk to you?" Cheng Shi shook his head. "No. The timing is too coincidental." "opportunity?" "I heard from Nishiguchi that Mr. Tsukahara, who was killed, was a criminal police officer in Tokyo before his death. He was also a member of the Investigation Section 1 who was in charge of investigating murder cases." The blunt smile before suddenly disappeared from Setsuko's face.She asked, "So what..."

"After that incident, Mr. Tang Chuan asked me about other things. He said that someone had seen Mr. Tsukahara in Dongli's villa before, and said that there was a man arrested by Mr. Tsukahara himself that year. The home of the murderer. Yu Chuan had a friend in the Metropolitan Police Department's search section, and I guess he heard about it from that friend. And the murderer he was talking about...is probably that person." "Chengshi." Setsuko's eyes suddenly became serious, "Didn't we agree, don't mention that again." "This is not the time to talk about this. Although it is not clear what is going on, the Metropolitan Police Department has indeed taken action. They are investigating our situation. Mom, you know what is going on? Put the truth Tell me. What did Tsukahara come to our house for? What happened that night? What was Dad doing?"

Setsuko bit her lip with a distressed expression and lowered her head.Chengshi stared at his mother and repeated "tell me". After a while, Setsuko seemed to have made up her mind.She looked up.But before she could speak, she suddenly opened her eyes wide again.Her eyes were staring at Cheng Shi's back. Cheng Shi turned his head tremblingly.Chongzhi was wearing a T-shirt, with a towel on his shoulder, and a cane in his right hand, standing right behind Chengshi. "Speaking so loudly, are you afraid that people outside won't hear you?" Chongzhi said slowly.After that, he walked into the room with a cane, took out a bottle of oolong tea from the refrigerator, poured a cup, and took a sip.It seems that he didn't understand the conversation between Cheng Shi's mother and daughter.

Setsuko still lowered her head and said nothing.Cheng Shi didn't know what to say. After drinking the oolong tea in the cup in one breath, Chongzhi let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Probably, we can't hide this matter anymore." Cheng Shi looked at his father's face and said, "Can't you hide it?" "husband……" "Shut up." Shigeji interrupted Setsuko, and smiled at Chengshi, "I have something very important to tell you."
