Four days have passed since the incident.The criminal police are investigating with all their strength, but there is no criminal target. Miyuki participated in the tennis training that had been absent for a few days. She hoped to reduce some sadness through training.The other players made louder noises than usual, as if in response to their teammates, and Miyuki swung her racket vigorously. After training, she and her teammates walked into a cold drink shop.It is a very pleasant thing for Miyuki and her friends to drink and chat here. For some reason, the topic turned to cars, and everyone was talking about their favorite models.

"Mei Xing's father drives a nice car." A girl named Zhimei said. "yes." Miyuki tilted her head and said.Yosuke drives an Audi. "It's really a good car. My family's car is made in China, and I have bought it for many years. The design and everything are very backward. I don't feel like going for a ride with such a car. It's really bad." "Speaking of which, I saw Meixing's father driving a car a few days ago." Another classmate named Houzi said. "By the way, it was the day when I injured my foot and didn't participate in training. I saw it on the way to the hospital when I was waiting for the signal light at 1-chome."

The day this classmate didn't participate in training was the day Miyuki's mother was killed. Miyuki remembered what happened that day, so she closed her mouth and drooped her head.Knowing this, Zhimei poked Houzi with her hand. "Ah, I'm sorry." Houzi lowered his voice and said. "I'm really out of my mind, sorry." "It's nothing, don't mind." Miyuki raised her head, showing her white teeth. "So, who was my dad with that day?" Dad said that he met Aunt Dianzi after he came out of the company that day.If Atsuko saw his father at 1-chome, then he should have been with his aunt.

But Houzi showed an incredulous expression and said, "No wow, he's the only one." So was it after he sent Aunt Dianzi home? "What time was it then?" Hearing Miyuki's question, Atsuko thought for a while and said affirmatively, "It's just past one thirty," and then said, "I arrived at the hospital at one forty, so it can't be wrong." "One thirty..." Miyuki thought.According to Dad, he came out of the company before two o'clock and arrived home at half past two.In this case, he shouldn't be driving the car on the street around 1:30.

"Is there anything wrong?" "Oh, nothing." Houzi probably realized that he had said something wrong, and a disturbed expression appeared on his face. After breaking up with friends, on the way home, someone patted Miyuki on the shoulder from behind.Meixing looked back, and it turned out that her sister Tingzi was catching up from behind. "elder sister……" "What's wrong? What are you thinking?" Tingzi asked. Miyuki hesitated, but told her sister about her doubts about her father's actions.After all, this is something that can only be said to my sister.

Because he was talking while walking, Tingzi didn't say anything until Miyuki finished speaking, but just moved silently in the direction of home.After entering the gate and entering the entrance, she put her hands on Miyuki's shoulders, lowered her head, and stared straight into Miyuki's eyes.Miyuki felt that her sister's eyes were a little scary. "You can't tell anyone about this." Tingzi said to her in a low voice but very powerful. After seeing Miyuki nodding, Tingzi nodded as if relieved, and then let go of her hands. "Promise me, you will never talk about this matter again in the future. You have to tell your friend that she is wrong, and tell her not to talk about it anymore."

"What's going on here?" Meixing asked, "Auntie, she knows Dad, I don't think she could have mistaken him. And the car is the same..." Before Miyuki could finish speaking, Tingzi put his index finger to his lips to stop her. "Understood? Dad came out of the company before two o'clock and arrived home at half past two. On the way, he sent Aunt Dianzi back home. It's true! You can't think about those useless things." "But……" "Anyway, that's what you're going to tell your friends. You know?" With that said, Tingzi went straight into his room.

That night, Dianzi came to help prepare dinner.Her husband has a lot of work and entertainment, and often comes home very late.Dianzi also had dinner here this day. Miyuki sitting next to Noriko would be taken aback from time to time, because Aunt Noriko's unintentional actions and voice were so much like her mother Taeko. "Aunt," Miyuki called Dianzi, "the day Mom was killed, did you go shopping?" Noriko was taken aback as if suddenly attacked, and subconsciously glanced at Yosuke. "Ah, yes." She replied a little flustered. "What did you buy? Is it a suit?"

"Mei Xing!" Tingzi called out in a low but powerful voice. "Don't ask, it has nothing to do with you!" "I was just asking." Miyuki looked at her sister and pouted. "There's no need to ask." "Hey, hey, what are you guys doing?" Yosuke, who had been silent all this time, said as if he couldn't stand it anymore. "Mom is gone. If you two don't get along well, it will be really troublesome." Miyuki slammed the knife and fork onto the table and stood up. "Beauty!" Tingzi called out again. "Understood! You only treat me as an outsider!"

"What are you talking about!" "Stop talking!" Miyuki left the table and rushed into her room.
