Chapter 24 Section 7

"I thought about it, and I think your situation may not be considered very special." I took a bite of the rice ball and said, "Ordinary people will forget everything when they were children, let alone the things before elementary school." " "And then?" Sayaka looked at me. I mixed the onigiri with canned green tea. "Let's stop here. Personally, I don't think we have the right to continue to dig out the secrets of the royal chef's family. All this was buried with great difficulty." These words had some effect, and Sayaka also showed an epiphany look.

"Buried in this tomb?" "Yeah" I nodded, "in this grave" Sayaka folded her arms, leaned on the sofa, and stared at my expression. "I find you a little strange." His eyes were full of suspicion. My face became a little stiff, "Strange? Where is it strange?" "How should I put it, it seems to have become negative all of a sudden. Before that, you have been actively reasoning... What happened?" "It's nothing, I just suggested that since the mystery has been solved, shouldn't we stop here. Like I said just now, we have no right to dig the grave of the royal chef's family."

"That's really all there is?" "Of course, otherwise what else?" I looked straight into her eyes. After looking at each other for a few seconds, she looked away. "I don't think the mystery is all solved" "Really? We already know almost everything about the tragedy of Michu's family. Miku Keiichiro gave up on his eldest son Masaru and raised his grandson Yusuke as his own son. After Keiichiro died, he abused Yusuke, and in order to escape this torture, Yusuke planned a fire to die together. Don’t we know all of this? Besides, what else do we need to know ?”

“Always feel like something is missing” "You think too much" "No." She stood up from the sofa, looked up at the ceiling of the bedroom, paced back and forth, and stopped in front of the piano. "I didn't appear in the story you told just now." "Of course." I pretended to be calm, "You are basically an outsider, and have nothing to do with Yusuke's abuse and the burning of the house" "yes?" "Yeah, what do you want to say" Sha Yejia sat down on the stool in front of the piano and took a deep breath. "I remember seeing it"

"See what?" I asked. She replied after a pause, "The scene of... after the house burns down" I gasped, "The scene after the burning? Is it the royal chef's house?" "I don't know, but I think it's very possible. There was thick black smoke all around, and many people gathered around, and there was a burned-out house over there..." She closed her eyes lightly, "I and another alone together" "Auntie, that is your mother, maybe you witnessed the fire scene at Yuchu's house at that time." Sayaka opened her eyes and took another deep breath, her chest heaving sharply.

Suddenly, her eyes seemed to be catching something, and finally stopped on the table in front of me. "What are you looking at?" I looked at the table and her face respectively. Sayaka looked at me, then picked up a rice ball rolled with seaweed from the table, then clasped her hands tightly like a baby, and focused her eyes on the rice ball as if looking into the distance. "Hey……" I called her, but there was no answer.She knelt on the ground like this, muttering non-stop.I listened attentively, and Sayaka was saying this: "Don't feed it, you will be scolded, don't feed it"

I shake her body. "Cheer up, what's the matter with you?" She looked back at me with an angry look that forcibly interrupted her thoughts. "Please, leave me alone," she suppressed her anger. "I can't leave you alone, just tell me what's on your mind" "I want to be alone for a while, ten minutes, no, five minutes is enough, let me be quiet" A strong sense of anxiety came over me, but I couldn't shake the situation. "Then I'll go to the next room, call me if you need anything" She nodded silently. Although I was panicked in my heart, I still walked into the Japanese room.Sitting cross-legged on the dusty tatami mats, arms folded.

don't feed it- It is undeniable that Sayaka's memory is recovering bit by bit, but I can't decide whether I should stand by and watch.I really want to get her out of here immediately if possible.But is this really the best outcome for her? She said that I became negative. For her with a keen intuition, poor acting skills can't be mixed.Indeed, I became negative and timid. Looking at my watch, I have been in this room for eight minutes.I tried not to make any noise, and went to the bedroom to see what was going on.But Sayaka was not there. "Sayaka!" I yelled loudly and ran towards the stairs.After rushing upstairs to the couple's room, she was found squatting in front of the closet.

Sayaka turned his head, just like the slow motion in the video, holding the zoo ticket that should have been included in the Bible. "Sayaka..." I called out again. Her lips moved slightly, at first it was a panting sound, and then she made a sound. "Why?" she said, "the day the house caught fire, Mrs. Yuchu went to the zoo, but why?" "what why" "Why, did I go to the zoo with my wife?" "You? How is it possible?" I tried to laugh it off, but failed, my face twitched unnaturally. Sayaka stared at me intently and shook her head.

"I did, I remembered, a long time ago, when I was very young, the woman who held my hand, although I don't remember her face, was wearing a kimono. It wasn't my mother, because my mother couldn't wear a kimono of" "This is an illusion, you must have misremembered" "Then what is this?" As she spoke, she took out the ticket, "February 11th, the day the fire broke out. Adult tickets and children's tickets, it was also written in the letter just now, someone saw it at the zoo Arriving at Mrs. Royal Kitchen" I was speechless and had to think of a decent excuse.But because of his impatience, he couldn't find an excuse for a long time.

"Madam went to the zoo, did she go with her? Who is this kid? Isn't it me?" "It's hard to say anything now" "Don't lie to me," she said in a low but harsh tone, "you didn't show me this just now, did you?" She stretched out her hand that was tightly holding the side ticket, "I noticed You hid it, but I wanted to see it later, so I pretended not to see it" "Calm down, you're a little confused now" "It's not a little bit, but very confused. But—" she looked at the side coupon in her hand, "Maybe I've already remembered, everything" "What do you mean?" I asked. Sha Yeka raised his head slowly. "Like a trailer for a movie, I've got a few scenes in my head. It's just that I'm not sure if it happened before, no, I don't want it to be real. Because those things— "She pursed her lips tightly, blinked, and continued, "It's really terrible." "Sayaka..." I knelt down and grabbed her hand. "This is crazy thinking, because you are too tired to think so, so today we will go back to Tokyo—" "I want you to tell me something" she cut me off. "What's up" "I hope you answer me honestly and don't lie" After some hesitation, I replied, "I see." Sayaka kept staring into my eyes, "That cross in the basement" "……Ok" "It said 'rest in peace' over there, and there was a shoveled mark on it. It was like erasing what was written on it" I swallowed, but my mouth was dry. "Is that what you shoveled?" "no" "I just said, don't lie to me." She stared at me with bloodshot eyes. "The end of the flashlight is still stained with concrete powder. You used that to erase the writing on the wall, right? Tell me the truth." talk" I fell silent, Sayaka continued. "I'm not going to ask why you did this, I just want to ask, what's written on it?" Seeing that I still refused to speak, she sighed softly. "Then let me ask in another way, is there a person's name written on it?" No, I wanted to say that, but a voice in my heart stopped me: I can't hide it anymore, everything is over. "That name—" she said quietly, "Sah, ya, ja... right? It says 'Sayaka,' right?" Immediately, there was a surge of waves in my heart, and then I retreated, leaving only a sense of exhaustion. I moved my mouth, but I couldn't make a sound, I couldn't make it.Sayaka seemed to have an answer to my reaction. "It really is like this." She immediately shed two lines of tears, and stood up without wiping them. "It's so strange," she said, "Sayaka, please rest in peace. The woman named Sayaka is dead? Then who am I? So far, I thought I was Sayaka. Who was the me who you called Sayaka in high school? Woolen cloth?" She stood with her back to the window, the sun was already shining outside, but the room was still very dark, and her body became a black shadow. "In that zoo, I tried to feed the elephant. And the woman who took me there said, don't feed it, you'll be scolded, Kumi" "Kumi..." "Maybe it's written in Chinese characters as 'Jiu Mi' which is eternally beautiful, but I don't remember, but only that person calls me Jiu Mei, and everyone else is called by nickname, that is——Miao Mei"
