Chapter 13 second quarter

Originally, he wanted to talk about the events of the day when the crime happened, but it seemed that he was talking about topics that had nothing to do with the case.You may think that I am deliberately diverting the topic, or that I will have a splitting headache when I recall the case, so I deliberately avoided the important ones... Let's talk about what happened after the body was found, okay? Oh, by the way, there seems to be another point that should be said.I think the suspect didn't lead me there less because I looked heavy than because I looked like a bear. That's all... Then, I will start to talk about the situation after the body was found.

"You run fast, you go." Maki still ordered me with the same old saying, so I set off to Emili's house.This time it was indeed running.Yuka and I ran to the back door of the gymnasium, and after we got out, we ran in the opposite direction. Something happened, something happened, something happened... This thought was repeated over and over in my mind, and I didn't feel afraid.At that time, I must have not realized the seriousness of the matter. If I had used my brain a little more, I might have cleared my mind on the way to Emili's house and figured out a better way to report the cruel fact of her daughter's violent death to Emili's mother. Maybe I will think of going home first and ask my mother to come with me, or ask an adult to inform me, maybe I will realize that I don't have to say the word "death".

However, at that time, I just ran with all my heart, and I didn't even notice that I passed my brother in front of the tobacco shop on the way.The uncle of the administrator was guarding the entrance of the apartment, but I went straight in and rushed into the elevator. There was a door to Emily's house, and I immediately rang the doorbell several times. "Hurried, what's the matter? It's really rude." Emili's mother opened the door while talking, and seeing me, her voice changed in shock, "Ah? It's Akiko." I was out of breath He caught his breath, but at that moment he was still thinking about how cute Emili's dress was.No, now is not the time, I shook my head and said at the top of my voice, "Emily's dead! Emily's dead! Emily's dead!" Don't you think that's the worst way to announce it?So bad that Emili's mother thought it was a joke.She looked at me and sighed softly, put her hands on her hips, and said to the open door, "Emily, are you hiding there? Don't be kidding, come out. Be careful that you don't get dinner."

However, Emily couldn't come out. "Emily!" Her mother called out her daughter's name loudly again, but there was no response. Most of the people had gone back to their hometown to visit relatives, and the building was surprisingly quiet. Emili's mother looked at me without any expression on her face, for three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds... no, maybe just a split second. "Where's Emery?" she said hoarsely. "The primary school's swimming pool." My voice was also a little hoarse. "Why Emily?" A heart-piercing sound penetrated my head, and my body was knocked aside.Emili's mother pushed me away with both hands and ran out.My face slammed into the wall, and my body fell forward due to inertia. With a "boom", there was a sharp pain in my forehead, and the "Parthenon" collapsed.

It may have hit the face, and the nosebleed came out.Severe pain in the forehead, bleeding nose... I felt like my head was broken, and the blood gushed out, flowed down my chin to my neck, and continued to flow down.I'm going to die, help... My head drooped in severe pain, and the blood-stained blouse on my chest jumped into my eyes. Smock, smock, my precious smock... Whoa... It's like falling into a bottomless dark abyss.At this moment, a loud voice "Ah Jing!" came from my ears. It was my brother who rescued me who was falling down the abyss at a critical moment. "Brother! Brother! Brother!" I threw myself at my brother, crying loudly.

My mother asked me to go home before six o'clock, saying that my cousin would bring friends. My brother who came back from my friend's house saw me running in the opposite direction from home after the "Green Sleeves" played at six o'clock, and wanted to tell me to go home. Home, just find it all the way.He saw Emili's mother running out of the apartment with disheveled hair, and thought something might have happened, so he came over to check on the situation. My brother borrowed wet towels and tissues from the administrator uncle to wipe my nosebleeds. "Am I going to die?"

I thought it was very serious, but my brother smiled and said: "It's just a nosebleed, and people will die somewhere." "But my head hurts." "Oh, that's a bit of a broken forehead, not much bleeding, nothing serious." After hearing what my brother said, I finally stood up and looked at the collapsed "Parthenon". My brother asked me: "What's wrong?" "Emily died in the swimming pool." After hearing my answer, My brother showed a surprised expression, but he took my hand and said softly: "Go home first." Walking down the slope, looking up, the sky at dusk was blood red.

Did you mean the wound?You see, no scars left. My brother sterilized my wound and put adhesive plaster on it. When I returned home holding hands with my brother, my mother screamed when she saw that I was covered in blood.When I heard that something had happened, my mother said she was going to school, and ran out without me. She fell into chaos all of a sudden.Obviously I was right in front of my eyes, but my mother thought I died at school. I only heard about these things after the fact. The wound was burning and painful, but because the bleeding stopped, the injury was not too deep, so I didn't go to the hospital in the end.

Fifteen years have passed, whenever it rains or the air humidity is high, and whenever I think of that incident, my forehead will feel hot pain, and then gradually spread, the whole head seems to be split open.It's also raining today, and with so much talk about that case, I always feel like I'm going to repeat my old problem. Ah, it has begun, the burning pain has begun again. That's all for that, okay?What does the suspect look like?Sorry, don't ask any more, please forgive me. Regarding the suspect's appearance, all four said in unison: "I don't remember."

In fact, not to mention the suspect's appearance, I have been quite vague about other things.It seems that I can’t say that I don’t remember it. As I said just now, when I recall the murder case, especially when it involves the core of the matter, I will have a splitting headache.It was indeed unbearable pain. Once I wanted to recall the whole experience desperately. When the man’s appearance vaguely appeared in my mind, a burst of pain suddenly hit me. I couldn’t help worrying. If I continue to remember like this, I may never Couldn't get back to my normal mental state, so I gave up.

You may think, is it enough to make it clear when investigating and collecting evidence? I was still wearing sticking plaster, and if I said I had a headache, the fact that Emili's mother would push me down would be known, so I hesitated because I was worried about that. The investigation and evidence collection were carried out several times, and the same thing was asked each time. The first time I echoed what others said, and from the second time I waited for others to finish speaking, and pretended that I had the same memory.Maki often uses English. I used to be confused about whether the overalls were gray or green because I couldn't tell whether it was green or gray, but you probably didn't notice it. Everything that happened at Emilia's house after the incident was not described in detail, and no one asked.I didn't even tell my brother about being run over by Emili's mother, because I thought it would be pity if Emili's mother was blamed for it.Anyone who hears of a child's death is thrown into confusion.The injury was my own fault, I stood there blocking the door, so it was my fault.When someone asked me about the injury, I replied that I fell because of panic.Since the incident happened not long after the body was found, no one suspected it. And, compared to my wounds, don't you think the damage from the collapse of that white ceramic pot is tens of thousands of times greater?By the way, I have never discovered this. Maybe the reason for the burning pain is that the fragments of the ceramic pot are still in the head. The pain caused by the fragments in the head should be this feeling.But now it can't be removed, right?Still, at the time I probably wouldn't have gone to the hospital even if I'd been aware of residual ceramic shards. How could the bear go to the hospital?Oh, by the way, there is an animal hospital.But bears can't go by themselves, can they? The bear understands the way of life that suits him, but I don't. People should live a life that suits their identity. This point, my grandfather often told me since I was sensible. Don't think that all people are equal, because everyone is endowed with different things from birth.The poor cannot pretend to be rich, and the fool cannot pretend to be a scholar.Poor people seek happiness through diligence and thrift, and fools can do what they can.To seek something beyond one's identity only leads to unhappiness.God looks down on all beings and controls everything, so be careful, or you will suffer retribution. These words used to be just words, but on the day of the third grade of elementary school, everything became a reality. Akiko, you don't have to worry about your ugly looks. Weird, right?How come this is connected?Maybe grandpa wants to comfort me, but don't you think it hurts me more?And, despite my stocky build, I never considered myself ugly.Although I am not good at studying, my athletic talent is not bad. Almost all the children around me are the same as me. I have never felt that the world is unfair.Therefore, I always pretended not to hear what my grandfather said, and blamed him for "repeating the same old routine". However, after Emili moved here, I began to understand what Grandpa said.Emily was beautiful, fit, smart, dexterous, athletic, and rich.It is not equal.Compare with Emily.It will only make yourself more miserable, but if you have a thicker skin, it's no big deal, because the things that God bestows on people are different.Emily is Emily and I am me.I don't know what the other kids think of Emili, but I like her and see her as someone from another world from the beginning. However, I was different that day. I was wearing cute designer clothes, and even Emilia envied me. My parents always complained that I was not a boy. When I learned that Emilia’s mother had said something similar to her that day, I was very excited and even wanted to Get closer to Emily. Pursuing something beyond one's identity only to be met with retribution. The pink house blouse was handed over to the dry cleaner, but the brown blood stains could not be washed off and could no longer be worn out. This was evidence of retribution.If it's a cute little girl, maybe she will know how to cherish it, because it was worn on the body of the ignorant bear, so it was dirty like this in just one day, and it's a pity that I can't wear it again!I felt so sorry for the smock, hugged it tightly to my chest, and cried and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Also, Emili, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm just a bear and I wanted to be friends with Emili, so she got killed.
