Chapter 4 Section 3

One day in July, the criminal police came to the house and informed me of his death.The detective is more ordinary than I usually write in novels, but has a lot of feeling - and arguably more convincing. "His body was found floating in Tokyo Bay this morning. After being pulled ashore, the things on his body proved that he was Kawazu Masayuki." Said a short detective who was less than forty years old and looked very strong.There was also a young detective standing beside him, but this detective just stood quietly. I was silent for a few seconds, then swallowed. "Have you confirmed your identity?"

"Yes." The detective nodded, "Is his hometown in Shizuoka? From there, we invited his sister to identify the body, and the tooth model and X-ray were also verified." Then the criminal police said very cautiously: It is Mr. Kawazu Masayuki. I still can't speak. "We want to ask you some questions." The criminal policeman said again.They stood in the porch, the door was still open. I asked them to wait in a nearby coffee shop first, so the detectives nodded and left quietly.After they left, I still stayed at the porch, staring blankly at the door.Not long after, I closed the door with a deep sigh, and went back to the dormitory to change out clothes.When I stood in front of the full-length mirror and wanted to apply some lipstick, I was taken aback.

The mirror reflected my extremely tired face, and it seemed that I was struggling to even make an expression. I looked away from my face in the mirror, adjusted my breathing, and reconnected with my face in the mirror.This time I became a little different, I nodded in agreement.It is true that I like him, and it is only natural to feel sad when the person I like dies. A few minutes later, I arrived at the coffee shop and sat face to face with the detective.This is a shop I frequent frequently, and it sells cakes.The cake is refreshing, not overly sweet at all. "He was killed." The policeman said as if he was announcing something.I wasn't surprised by this, though.This is the expected answer.

"How did he get killed?" I asked. "In a very cruel way." The detective frowned. "After being hit hard with a blunt instrument on the back of the head, it was discarded by the port. It was like litter thrown around." My boyfriend was thrown away like garbage. After the detective coughed lightly, I raised my head. "Is the cause of death an intracranial hemorrhage?" "No." He finished speaking, looked at my face again, and said again: "At this stage, we can't draw any conclusions. There are signs of a heavy blow on the back of the head, but there is no way to say anything until the results of the autopsy come out. .”

"Is that so?" That is to say, the murderer might have killed him first by using other methods, and then gave him a heavy blow on the back of the head before abandoning the body!If so, why would the murderer need to go to this extent? "Then I would like to ask." I probably looked dazed, which is why the detective called me, "Do you seem to be quite close to Mr. Kawazu?" I nodded, but there was no reason to deny it. "Is it a couple?" "At least I think so." The criminal police asked about the process of our acquaintance, and I answered truthfully.Although I was afraid of causing trouble to Fuyuko, I finally said her name.

"When was the last time you spoke to Mr. Kawazu?" I thought for a while and replied, "He asked me out the night before." We ate at the restaurant and then went to the bar to drink. "What did you talk about?" "A lot of...among them, I lowered my head and focused my gaze near a glass ashtray," he once said of being watched. " "Being targeted?" "Yeah." I told the criminal police what he told me the night before.Obviously, after the criminal policeman finished listening, his eyes glowed eagerly. "So, does Mr. Chuanjin really have a bottom line?"

"But there's no way to say for sure." Nor did he assert that he really knew anything. "So, do you have any idea about the matter?" I nodded and said, "I don't know." Afterwards, the criminal police began to ask me about his friendship, work and so on.I can almost say I don't know at all. "Then what was your whereabouts yesterday?" The last question is my alibi.The reason why the other party did not mention the detailed time point is probably because the correct time of death has not been determined yet!But even with the precise timing, my alibi did nothing to clarify the case.

"I worked from home all day yesterday," I replied. "If you can provide proof, it will be much easier for us to deal with." The criminal police stared at me. "I'm sorry," I shook my head. "There may be no way. I'm the only one in the house, and during this time, no one will visit." "It's a pity. There are so many things that make people feel pity! I'm sorry to take up your time during your busy schedule." After finishing speaking, the policeman stood up. That evening, Dongzi appeared as I expected.Her breathing was so rapid that I thought she was running wildly.I had my word processor on, and before I could even type a word, I grabbed a can of beer and wanted to drink it.I cried for a while before drinking beer, and waited until I was tired from crying before starting to drink.

"Have you heard?" Dongzi said, looking at my face. "The criminal police have come." I replied.She seemed a little surprised when she first heard it, but soon she accepted my answer silently as if she took it for granted. "Do you have any clues?" "There are no clues, but I know he is being watched." Then I told the tongue-tied Touko about the conversation I had with Kawazu Masayuki the day before yesterday.After she finished listening, she shook her head regretfully like the previous detectives. "Is there anything you can do? Like talk to the police or something."

"I don't know. But since he didn't run to tell the police, there must be a reason for it!" Dongzi shook his head again. "Then you have no idea?" "Yeah. Because..." I paused, then continued, "Because I know almost nothing about him." "Really?" Dongzi seemed disappointed, showing the same expression as the detective in the morning. "I've been thinking about him since just now," I said, "but I still don't know anything. When he and I were dating, we both drew a line around ourselves so as not to invade each other." Each other's domain is the principle. And this incident just happened in his domain."

Do you want a drink?I asked Dongzi, she nodded, and I went to the kitchen to help her get a beer.Then her voice came from behind me. "When he was chatting with you, was there anything else that impressed you?" "We haven't talked much recently!" "Should they still say something? Could it be that you all go to bed as soon as you meet?" "It's almost like that!" As I said that, I felt my cheeks twitch a little.
