Chapter 53 Section 53

Open the aluminum alloy window, and a gust of warm wind with the aroma of the sea immediately blows into the room.Under the illumination of the street lamps, the outlines of the embankment and the streets emerged in front of my eyes.The sea in the distance was so dark that it was impossible to see clearly. Cheng Shi took out his phone and checked the time.It will soon be nine o'clock at night. There was a sound of brisk footsteps rushing up the stairs outside the door, and then the door was suddenly pushed open.Yongshan Wakana walked into the house with a convenience store bag and a portable freezer in his hand.

"I kept you waiting. Uh, but there is nothing delicious, just some sandwiches and onigiri. Then there is some instant miso juice. By the way, I also bought some appetizers." Wakana put the bag The things in the room are placed on the tatami mats one by one. "Sorry to trouble you." Cheng Shi apologized repeatedly. What are you polite?Wakana's face was tanned by the sun.She waved her hand.Even that arm was equally tanned. "When you are in trouble, you have to help each other. Besides, I am very happy that you come to me. The room is not wide, but if you don't mind it, you can stay longer. Here."

"thanks." "What should I do? If you're not used to drinking, then I'll go downstairs and pour you some warm water." Wakana picked up the cup of instant miso juice. "Well, no need. I said, is there anything to drink?" "Of course." Wakana opened the freezer, "Beer, shochu and soda, what do you want to drink?" "Is there any tea?" "Tea? Yes." Wakana took out a bottle of green tea. Chengshi stared out the window and moistened his throat with ice-cold green tea.Looking back on what happened today, it feels like a nightmare, and I always feel a little unreal.

It was after eight o'clock in the night that Cheng Shi left the Glass Pond Police Station.After hearing Sawamura's self-confession, although the police dispelled their suspicions about Chengshi, they made her repeat the story for a while, and made her wait in vain for a while, which wasted a lot of time.When he left the police station, Cheng Shi was so tired that he just wanted to squat down on the spot. However, Chengshi couldn't just go home and lie down.Because right now "Green Rock Village" has been blocked by the police.Not only that, but the criminal police also arrogantly ordered Shishi to notify them as soon as she found a place to stay.As for the situation of the parents, the police are unwilling to tell Chengshi even a word.

Cheng Shi thought about it, and finally she decided to contact Nagayama Wakana who works in the store of Malin Sports.Wakana is studying at a university in Tokyo, and in the summer, she will go to that store to work part-time.Two years ago, Wakana passed the test as a self-contained oxygen diving instructor, and the person who guided her to obtain the qualification at that time was Cheng Shi. Cheng Shi called Wakaca, and she told Wakaca everything, including the fact that her parents were arrested by the police.After hearing Chengshi's story, Wakana said that she "will be there soon".Half an hour later, Ruocai drove the van in the store to the police station to pick up Chengshi.In the car, Wakana did not pester Chengshi to ask questions, on the contrary, she seemed to be more concerned about Chengshi's physical condition.Cheng Shi felt that he really did not find the wrong person when he came to seek refuge with Wakaca.

After recovering, Cheng Shi realized that Wakaca had also picked up a bottle of green tea. "Wakana, don't you drink?" In fact, Wakana is a person who is addicted to alcohol. "Uh, this..." "Leave me alone. If you always say this, it will make me feel uneasy." "Really? Then, I won't be polite." Wakaca put the green tea back into the freezer and took out a bottle of beer.After saying "I'm starting", Wakana lifted the tab of the can and took a sip along with the foam that spewed out.She said softly, "It's delicious."

Looking at Wakana in front of him, Cheng Shi remembered what Yu Chuan said before.You don't seem to be the kind of person who is willing to abandon the bustling city and choose the sea.If Yu Chuan was facing Wakana at that time, I wonder if he would have said the same thing? Regardless of these things, what should we do in the future?Although Shigeharu said that "Green Rock Village" should just be sold.But would anyone really be willing to pay for this dilapidated hotel that had had fatal accidents?Even if it is to be demolished, it will cost some money.Moreover, the more important issue than these things is Chengshi's future residence.Although Wakana said to let herself live longer, she can't always live here like this, can she?Moreover, after a while, she will still go back to Tokyo.

"Wakana, can you lend me your car?" "Car? Okay. Where are you going, or should I drive you there?" "No, didn't you just drink beer? It's okay, I just went home." "Oh, you're going to 'Green Rock Village'..." "I want to go get some cosmetics and a change of clothes. I'll also bring some money. The criminal police told me before that as long as you tell the police on guard, you can go in." "Really? Well, indeed, I really don't have anything here that you can use." Wakana put down the can of beer and stood up.

Wakana's room is on the second floor of the store.The two walked down the stairs, walked through the dark storefront, and came to the door.The car is parked outside the shop.Cheng Shi took the car keys from Wakana and got into the car.Although Wakana's car is slightly different from that of "Lvyanzhuang", Chengshi has long been used to driving a van. "Be careful on the road." Ruo Cai told Cheng Shi. Passing the coastal road with no one in sight, Chengshi drove uphill from the station.Immediately, "Green Rock Village" appeared in front of her eyes. In front of the entrance of "Green Rock Village", there are several red lighting lamps used on the construction site.A young policeman in uniform was sitting on a steel pipe chair outside the door. When he saw Chengshi's car, the policeman stood up immediately.

Chengshi stopped the car and explained the situation to the policeman.The young policeman opened the door of the entrance, chatted with the people in the house, and then let Cheng Shi into the house. A middle-aged fat policeman was guarding the lobby.The TV in the lobby was on, and the comedian was talking loudly on the screen. "I'll go with you. If I let my superiors know that I let you enter the house to take things, I will be severely scolded." The fat policeman said. Cheng Shi nodded and walked towards the back room.The fat policeman turned off the TV and followed behind Chengshi.

Cheng Shi walked into his room, dragged out a large travel bag from the closet, and put a few changes of clothes into the bag.When stuffing underwear into the bag, Chengshi deliberately blocked it with his body, lest the fat policeman see it. "Speaking of which, it's really troublesome now, what are you going to do next?" The fat policeman asked without hesitation.Cheng Shi silently tilted his head.Seeing this, the fat policeman continued, "That's true. Asking you now, you probably don't have any idea. A long time ago, I worked in the police station in front of the station. That was about twenty years ago. Right. At that time, Glasspool was really bustling. The business of your hotel was also pretty good. However, after the economic downturn, the poor did not want to travel, and the rich either went abroad or went to have a good time. It's a sad day. Even if you feel that the building is dilapidated, you can't afford to repair it. You are really unlucky, and I actually sympathize with you. It's just that you really shouldn't put the dead body It was dragged and thrown away. If you hadn't done this before, it would probably be easier to handle." This policeman is really talkative.After only half listening, Cheng Shi decided to ignore him and concentrate on what he was doing.Even though Cheng Shi didn't say a word, the fat policeman continued talking non-stop. After packing his luggage, Chengshi left the room.As soon as he returned to the lobby, the fat policeman turned on the TV again and sat down on the wicker chair.From the looks of it, he didn't seem to be planning to send Chengshi out. When reaching out to open the entrance door, Cheng Shi heard someone talking outside.The speaker seems to be arguing with someone. "That's it, this is the rule. Right now, irrelevant personnel are prohibited from entering here." "I have told you many times that I am not an unrelated person. I have been living here until this morning." "This... With this level of relationship, I can't let you in." "Then what level of relationship do you need? Tell me about it." Walking out the door, Cheng Shi was taken aback.It was none other than Yu Chuan who was arguing with the young policeman just now.Cheng Shi called Tang Chuan. "You came just in time. You can also say a few words for me. I told the policeman to let me go into the house to have a look, but he told me some things, and refused to let me in." "It's not me, it's you who said something. Anyway, I can't do it, please go back." After finishing speaking, the policeman walked into the hotel. Tang Chuan folded his hands on his hips and sighed, "What is this all about?" "What are you going in for?" "I guess the appraiser should have carried out a reproduction test in the house, so I want to go in and check the traces. According to my reasoning, their test is impossible to be successful." Chengshi stared at the physicist's face for a while.After that, she blinked and said, "The experiment was unsuccessful? Why?" Tang Chuan only adjusted his glasses, but did not answer Cheng Shi's question. "It's really annoying. If I had known this, I wouldn't have walked here." After speaking, he took a step. "Please wait a moment. I came by car. How about I take you to the hotel." Cheng Shi walked to the van. After Tang Chuan sat in the passenger seat, Cheng Shi started the car. "Green Rock Village" is not too far from the resort hotel where he lives, and it's only a few minutes away by car. In the car, the two were speechless to each other.Although Cheng Shi was thinking about the question just now, she knew very well that even if she asked, Tang Chuan would not answer. Not long after, the hotel appeared in front of the two of them.However, before Chengshi could drive the car into the courtyard, Tang Chuan said, "I'll just get off here." "Why? I'll drive the car to the front porch." "No, Gongping and the others also live in this hotel. It would be embarrassing if you ran into them." "Ah..." Cheng Shi put his foot on the brake pedal and stopped the car on the side of the road. "I'm so sorry. Please be considerate of me." "Besides, I still have something to ask you." Tang Chuan said, "If you don't want to answer, you can choose not to answer." Cheng Shi turned his head and glanced at Tang Chuan.There was an ominous premonition in her heart. "What's up?" "Do you think this case is just a simple accident?" Cheng Shi was taken aback, and the expression on his face became stiff. "If it's not a simple accident, then what is it?" "Now I'm asking the question. So let me ask you this. Your parents still insist that it was an accident?" "It wasn't my parents, it was my father. I heard from my father that it was an accident." "Then you believed what he said?" "Can't you? What do you want to say?" "It's really puzzling. Why do you not doubt at all? You must have a lot of things you don't understand in your heart? Even so, you still choose to believe. Then, as far as I guess, you may be out of Two reasons. One, that's how much you believe your father, and two, that you want things to be exactly as he says they are. Or maybe both." Every word of Tang Chuan gently stimulated Cheng Shi's heart.But his words did not bring any fatal harm to Chengshi.Cheng Shi couldn't figure out whether he did it on purpose or not. "Indeed, there are indeed some unnatural things in what my father said. But please think about it, sometimes he may not remember clearly. Moreover, if it is just some subtle contradictions , then it shouldn’t be a big problem. The suggestion to surrender was put forward by my father himself. This is the crux of the problem, so there is no need to hold on to some small details.” Cheng Shi’s mood It seems a little excited.She was actually telling herself that her father hadn't lied to her. "I see. Maybe you're right. By the way, how much do you know about that unfortunate victim—Tsukahara?" "Barely have any understanding... I just heard that he used to be a criminal policeman in Tokyo." "Really? Remember that I told you before that I have a friend who works in the first search section of the Metropolitan Police Department. As long as you ask him for help, you will definitely be able to contact Tsukahara's family. If you are willing to replace you parents to apologize to Tsukahara's family, then I will find a way to contact you. What are you going to do?" Cheng Shi felt a chill go straight down his spine.Right.I should really apologize to Tsukahara's family. "The interrogation has just started today. I plan to wait until everything comes to light before making any plans." Cheng Shi managed to hold back such a sentence. "I understand. Then I will pass on your words to my friend. Thank you for taking me back." Tang Chuan opened the door on the side of the passenger seat.But he didn't get out of the car immediately, but turned his head again and said, "What are you going to do in the future? Do you want to stay here?" Cheng Shi felt a little puzzled.She didn't understand the true meaning of Tang Chuan's words. "I haven't thought about this yet. After all, I don't know what the situation will be like in the future..." "But didn't you say that you want to protect this sea?" "of course." "Then, until when do you plan to guard it?" "Uh," Cheng Shi looked back at Tang Chuan, "When and when?" "Do you want to stay here until you die, guarding the sea here? Don't you plan to get married? If you meet your true soulmate in the future, but he wants to stay away from here, what are you going to do? ?” "...Why are you asking these questions?" Through the thick lenses of the glasses, Yu Chuan's eyes looked directly at Cheng Shi's. "Because, I feel that you seem to be waiting for someone. Until someone comes back, you plan to keep guarding, aren't you?" Chengshi clearly felt that his whole body had become cold.She wanted to say something, but couldn't speak. Tang Chuan took out a small notebook from his pocket. "Welcome to the crystal sea. The sea is the jewel of Glasspool. Allow me to claim to be the custodian of this jewel. Come and see for yourself the beauty of the colors of this sea. You are always welcome - this is I copied it from the homepage of your website. I always feel like you are sending an invitation to someone. Could it be that I am too sensitive?" Cheng Shi shook his head and said tremblingly, "You are too sensitive. Actually, it's not as deep as you think." "Really? That's fine. Finally, I have a request." "So what?" "It's actually not a big deal." Tang Chuan took out a digital camera from his pocket, "I'm leaving here soon. Before I leave, I want to take some photos as souvenirs." "Shoot me? Excuse me." "Don't worry, I won't post it on the Internet." After speaking, Tang Chuan immediately pressed the shutter.In an instant, the lights of the flashing lights filled the entire car.Tang Chuan looked at the LCD screen, said "Well, the shot was good", and then handed the camera to Chengshi.Cheng Shi on the LCD screen opened his eyes wide, with a look of surprise on his face. "Good night." After speaking, Tang Chuan got out of the car and walked towards the hotel without looking back.Cheng Shi looked at Yu Chuan's back and started the car.
