Chapter 18 second quarter

On Sunday afternoon, since it started to rain early in the morning, I thought everyone would not go to the villa, so I was reading manga in the room, when Emili came.We don't get along very well, so I was surprised that she came to my house alone.When they reached the entrance, Emili lowered her voice and said in a panic, "Mom is looking for a ring. Yuka, please go to the villa with me to get it." The ring refers to the one that Emi hid as a treasure.I asked, "Did you secretly take your mother's?" "It's usually in my mother's closet, but it's mine." Emili's answer was a little inexplicable.At my house, my mother also said that she would give her wedding ring to my sister, and give me the ring my grandma gave her. She often said: "I will give it to you when you grow up." So I think the situation in Emi's house should be the same .

I soon understood why Emili came to me, because only I could open the lock of the villa.Seeing that I took off the hairpin on the bangs and opened the lock, everyone said they would try it.I don't know why, but after trying a round, they couldn't open it.The hairpin is the same, as long as you hook it to the recessed place in the keyhole and turn it around, but no matter how I explain it, no one can find where the recessed place is.I was surprised that not only Akiko, but also Maki and Emili, who were able to solve difficult problems at school, couldn't open it.At that time, Saying said: "Yuka is really smart."

I wasn't good enough at anything I did, and I didn't feel smart enough.Come to think of it, it seems like I've always been good at this kind of hands-on work.I don't have strong hands, but I can open strong bottle caps, untangle tangled strings, and assemble bonus pictures for comic magazines. I went to the villa with Emili, and easily opened the back door into the living room with the fireplace. "Yuka, thank you, just wait for me." Emili poked her head into the fireplace as she spoke, and after a while, she turned around and said, "No." She said the biscuit tin was in the front right corner, and I looked inside, and there was nothing there. "Not really," I said, looking up from the fireplace to find Emery staring at me.

"You did it?" I didn't understand for a while, but seeing her cold eyes, I knew she was suspicious of me.I didn't understand why this happened, and retorted loudly: "It's not me." As a result, Emili also raised her voice. "Absolutely you. Aren't you the only one who can open this door? I didn't let you wear the ring and you got mad and you did something like this. That's what thieves do, and I know you've stolen other things too , You stole Saying’s eraser, right? I’ve seen you secretly use the eraser that Saying lost. If you don’t return the ring, I’ll tell Dad.”

After speaking, Emili burst into tears and shouted: "Ring, give me back the ring, you are a thief, a thief..." I had a lot to explain, but I thought that nothing would work. Are you asking me what to explain?For example, something about erasers.The erasers that Saying lost were all the girls in the West District.At the Kids Club Christmas party the year before, everyone got a piece as a present.Emili only occasionally saw me using the same thing after Saying's eraser was lost, and I didn't use it secretly. Now that I think about it, if it was Maki or Akiko who used the eraser, I wonder if Emily would have the same suspicion.

What kind of eyes do you show when you feel hungry?Since I was a child, my mother said that I always have longing eyes.Both my sister and I have single eyelids, but only my mother said so. Once when I was walking with my mother on the road, I met a classmate holding an ice cream. I just raised my hand to say hello, but my mother said angrily: "Don't look at what others are holding with that kind of eyes. Really, you are always so Shabby." It was very hot at the time, and I was really envious of seeing others eating ice cream, but I didn't particularly want to eat it. I was very wronged and thought to myself, why don't you make my eyes better?When I was in the third or fourth grade of elementary school, my eyesight began to decline sharply, and the prescription of my glasses was not suitable. I often had to squint my eyes to see, so others would have this impression.

Sorry for digressing.We were talking about the thief just now, right? Emily kept crying, and I was so angry that I said "I don't care," and left the villa and went home. Emily and her dad came to our house that evening, and my mom was the host.I thought they must have come to sue, and hid in the toilet in fright. Unexpectedly, when my mother came to call me, her voice didn't sound angry. In the living room, I made eye contact with the star with big eyes. The star with big eyes is your husband, and the children in the town call him that behind their backs.Don't laugh, that's what the kids call you.

Sorry, let me continue. The two came to return the "treasure".It is said that after I left Emili at the villa, she panicked because the ring was lost, and she would not lock the door of the villa.If her mother knew that she would be angry if she took out the ring, she didn't dare to tell her mother, so she called the Adachi factory from a public phone near the villa, and asked her father who was still working on the day off for help. Her father came quickly.In front of the villa, Emili told her father the general story.At this time, a car from a real estate agent in a neighboring town drove over.The intermediary brought a Tokyo client who wanted to run a free school to the villa in the morning. After going to other places in the afternoon, he sent the client to the station.He returned to the villa to install a strong lock to prevent unscrupulous intruders from entering through the back door.

It is said that the customer found the jar containing the "treasure". The broker returned the jar to Emilia and said, "You are not allowed to go in casually in the future." Emili returned my bookmark and handed me a very The big box is a box of famous brand western snacks produced in Tokyo.She smiled and said, "This is delicious, try it." But she didn't apologize for treating me like a thief.She may think that she is the one who has been hurt the most, that no matter what she said, others will forgive her, and as time goes by, everything will be forgotten.In this regard, you two are really alike.

I never told anyone about it.I think Emery's offer of the snack is actually a bribe, asking me not to tell her that she thinks I'm a thief.At first, I pushed back the dim sum and said, "I don't want it." Although I really wanted to eat the exquisitely packaged dim sum, I made up my mind that if Emily didn't apologize, I would never accept it.However, my mother accepted it.The mother also said: "Emily came to the door with Dad, don't be rude." She also bowed her head to apologize to them: "Please forgive me, this child is very naive, but please play with her well in the future." The father and daughter I went back satisfied, but my heart was full of grievances, and I felt that this matter was unreasonable.Then, however, I was reprimanded again.

It wasn't because of Emily's incident or the fact that she sneaked into the villa was discovered, but because my sister asked: "I want to go in and have a look at the villa too, why didn't you tell me?" I replied: "There is too much dust, So..." My sister began to cry: "I always use my illness as an excuse." "Why are you showing off in front of your sister?" Mom scolded me, but where was I showing off?After Emily and her dad went back, the older sister came down from the second floor and asked, "What's wrong?" It was the mother who revealed, "The kid sneaked into the abandoned villa behind the farm." After my sister started crying, I wanted to argue with my mother, but my sister said first: "It's not Yuka's fault. I should have been more patient." After hearing this, my mother said: "I can't blame Zhenyu for this." And let my sister pick any snacks brought by Emilia. My mother has always felt guilty because my sister was born unhealthy, and I was sorry that I didn't give birth to a boy for my father, but I never expressed my apology because I was born with short-sightedness. Myopia may be a family inheritance on the father's side.Whether it's the sister's illness or not giving Dad a boy, it shouldn't be the mother's fault, and neither of them has ever blamed the mother.Mom must just love blaming herself.Masochism - is it okay to say that?It's that feeling. However, even though the daughter was involved in the homicide, she didn't come to see it in time, don't you think it's too much? ...Finally, let’s get down to business and talk about the murder case. Can you wait another five minutes?
