murder door 东野圭吾 6572Words 2018-03-22
It may be the so-called emotional agitation, or it may be a murderous thought that has not appeared in my heart for a long time. The hatred gushing from the depths of my body dominated my body in an instant.News programs often use words like "the emotions that have been suppressed for a long time finally exploded" to describe it, and I was exactly like that at the time.At that moment, there was only one thing on my mind: to kill the other party.I have no time to think about what to do after killing the other party. I pushed Miharu to the ground and grabbed her by the neck. I didn't care even if I knocked down objects around me and made a loud noise.I just kept choking her hard.

Miharu resisted desperately, trying to pull my finger away but couldn't, so she twisted her body and kicked my stomach and groin.Even so, my hands still refused to let go. Instead she scratched my face.She poked my eyes with her finger with long nails, and I couldn't bear it anymore, so I had to relax.She wants to take advantage of the gap to escape, but I think if she escapes at this moment, all previous efforts will be wasted.So I grabbed her arm vigorously, and with the other hand, I poked at the eye she had poked. "Let me go!" Meiqing choked suddenly after she finished speaking, panting heavily in my ear.

I yelled loudly, but couldn't think of any specific words in my head.There is only one thought in my heart, that is, I can't let this woman go. I reached out and grabbed her neck again.Miharu twisted her whole face into a ball in fright.She probably figured out that I was serious. "It's not me!" she cried. "I didn't come up with that plan." I heard this sentence, but I didn't have the strength to think about the meaning of the words.I just felt like she was begging for my life.She called again, "It's Sam. Sam told me to do that. It's true. I'm telling the truth!"

At this moment, the strange name suddenly appeared, and my attention finally turned to what she said.Meiqing desperately pulled my hand away, fled to the wall on the ground.She was facing me, her arms folded over her chest, covering her neck. "Sam? Who's that?" "Someone you know too." "So I ask who you are!" "Mr. Kuramochi. Osamu Kuramochi. I call him Sam." I remembered what Yizheng had said, and looked down at Miharu. "It's true. I heard from your brother that you seem to have been in a relationship with Cang Mo. You are so shameless that you are hiding this from me..." I couldn't think of what to say next.

"He set it all up. Sam's trying to get money out of you." "Why did he do that?" "I don't know why he came to you. Anyway, he just wanted to push the hot potato on someone else." "Hot potato?" "It's the relationship with me. If this matter is exposed, it will also destroy his relationship with Yukiko." I approach Miharu.Her face twitched with fear.Could it be that my whole body exuded such a terrifying aura at that time? "I know that guy pushed the woman he abandoned to me. But what about you? Did you marry me knowing his intentions?"

Hearing my question, Miharu looked away from me and bit her lower lip.I grab her by the chin and turn her face towards mine. "Answer me well!" Miharu looked at me hostilely, then sighed.I let go of her jaw. "It doesn't matter if you get married or not." She blurted out. "I knew Sam was trying to push me to someone else. She even used Yukiko. Honestly, I felt angry and ashamed. At first I thought, how can I get what he wants, but gradually my mind changed. Now that things have come to this point, it doesn't matter who you marry. But, I definitely don't want to leave Sam."

"So you married me because you didn't want to sever your relationship with Kuramo, did you?" She turned her face to the side instead of affirming, and exhaled with a "huh". I have the feeling that someone is rubbing salt in a bleeding wound.But, never mind, our married life has been a mess from the beginning anyway. "Then why is it necessary for Cang Po to frame me?" Miharu was silent about my question.I realized that there might be something unspeakable hidden in it.I grabbed her chin again. "If you don't answer, I will kill you!" At this time, my murderous intentions have actually faded.However, the fact that I really wanted to kill Miharu allowed me to maintain my advantage over her.

"I discussed it with him and said that I wanted a divorce... Then, he helped me think of a way to get you to have an affair. What I said was true, it was a trick proposed by Sam. Believe me." "Why did he help you come up with that kind of scheme? Hasn't he already broken up with you?" "I think he probably didn't want me to be angry. He was probably afraid that if I got angry, he would tell Yukiko about our relationship." "Do you have evidence that he is the mastermind?" "That apartment... the apartment where the young master seduced you was prepared by him. You should know that the company he worked for also dealt with real estate, right? He was looking for a rental apartment managed by the company, and he used a room where the tenant was not at home for a long time without authorization. The house. If it's just me and the young master, we shouldn't be able to do that kind of thing, right?"

Meiqing is right.It would have been a gross negligence on my part for not investigating the real estate company that managed the house.If I knew that it was the company where Kuramochi worked, maybe there would be a completely different plot development. "In addition, Sam also thought of a way to extract money from you. He said that even if he asked for alimony from the office worker, it would not be a large sum, so just borrow as much money as possible before the divorce, and then repay the debt. Just push it all to you. This is what he instigated me." I don't know if it's because Miharu sensed that my anger was gradually turning towards Kuramochi, but this passage sounded like she was speaking ill of Kuramochi.

"Are you telling the truth?" I said, glaring at her. She nodded trembling slightly. "I said it was true. If I hadn't been instigated by Sam, I wouldn't have done such a bad thing. Everything was his instructions, and I just followed them." Obviously, Miharu just apologized verbally.If she really feels sorry for me, she should just stop following Kuramochi's instructions.However, I was not even aware of such an easy-to-see inconsistency.The hatred for Kuramochi makes me feel that other things are insignificant. I stand up.Miharu shrank her body and looked up at me.There was still a look of fear on her face.

"I won't give you any more money until I die. You can pay back the loan yourself!" "But……" "If the debtor comes to me again, I will kill you first and then commit suicide. I have already prepared myself. Do you understand?" She nodded silently. "Do you know where Kuramo is?" "I don't know. We haven't seen each other recently." That doesn't sound like a lie.I sighed, turned and headed for the door.Then before opening the door and leaving, he turned back to her and said, "It's useless for you to run away! No matter how far you run away, I will find you and kill you!" Miharu's face was livid, and I left her house immediately. If there is a line, deciding whether to become a murderer or not, I think my heart should be wandering on the edge of the line.If Miharu hadn't mentioned Kuramochi's name, I'm afraid I would have killed her already.As I walked, I thought back, that was the real killing intent. My hatred for Miharu gradually turned into the idea of ​​killing Kuramochi.I can no longer stand the man playing with my life. I went to Nihombashi Kofunecho.The sun has already set, and Kuramochi is probably no longer in the company. However, when I walked to the company, I saw a group of unknown men moving corrugated boxes.The men wore armbands all over their arms.At first I thought those people had nothing to do with me, but when I saw a few of Kuramochi's subordinates beside them, I realized that something had happened. I walked up to a work-study student who had spoken to me a few times.He also noticed me, with a slightly surprised expression on his face. "Ah, Mr. Tajima..." "What happened?" I asked. "I heard it was a compulsory search. Those people suddenly came to the company... and kicked us out. Mr. Nakagami and the others are still there." "Where's Kuramo?" The work-study student shook his head. "He's been on leave lately." I thought to myself, he took the first step and ran away.The situation at this time is exactly the same as that of Hozumi International and Tozai Shoji.However, the mastermind was finally replaced by Kuramochi himself. A man in a suit walks up to me.Before he could stop, he took out a manual. "I'm a member of the Metropolitan Police Department's Life Division. Are you an employee of 'Create Opportunities'?" "No, I'm not a regular employee." "How do you say that?" There was a frightening light in the investigator's eyes. "Kuramo asked me to help him with some accounting matters... However, I know almost nothing about the company." The investigators acted as if they were guessing whether what I said was true or not.Then he said, "Would you please come with me?" I had no reason to refuse, so I had to agree.What's more, I also want to confirm with my own eyes how things have evolved. He took me inside the building.There are more than a dozen searchers in the office, stuffing all documents and folders into corrugated boxes.I saw Nakagami and the others, they just stood there blankly. Nakagami glanced in my direction, but didn't speak to me, just lowered his eyes. I was questioned by the investigators in a corner, such as the process of entering the company and what I have done so far.Their choice of words, although polite, has a strong feeling.I thought there was no need for me to lie, so I told the whole story.However, the searchers didn't seem to fully believe what I said. "According to what you said, you are here to help without knowing the actual business content of the company? Although you have not gone through formal procedures to join the company, you are treated at the director level, aren't you?" "That's up to Cangji. I just want to earn a little pocket money..." "But, your job is to manage money, right?" "It is said to be in charge of money, but it is actually just a formal title. In fact, warehouse holders can freely use funds, and I just look at the amount of funds flowing in and out." The search personnel didn't seem to accept my words, and they didn't even squeeze out a wry smile on their faces, with an expression of wanting to say "who would believe your nonsense". The purpose of the mandatory searches appears to be to gather evidence that the company violated securities exchange laws.I learned from the investigators that Cang Chi was engaged in securities trading without a license. "Did you know Mr. Kuramochi doesn't have a license?" "I have absolutely no idea. I asked him personally before and he told me he had a license." "He said yes, you believe it?" "yes." After hearing my answer, the investigators tilted their heads suspiciously. The next question is mainly about the location of Kuramo.The investigators said that Kuramo did not even return to his home.Of course, I don't know where he went.On this point, the investigators believed it. They didn't let me go until after ten o'clock at night.I shuffled home exhausted.Too many things happened in one day, and I didn't have time to sort out my mood, I just wanted to sleep well. However, once lying on the bed, the head is inexplicably awake.My heart was filled with anger, resentment, and suspicion towards Kuramochi.I also recalled the past eight hundred years ago, and I only regret why I didn't kill him so far. Just when I was tossing and turning in boredom, the phone rang suddenly, which startled me.Before picking up the microphone, I glanced at the alarm clock. It was almost one o'clock in the morning. I picked up the receiver and said in a low voice, "Hello." After a while, the other party responded. "Hello, Tajima?" The moment he heard that voice, his head that had been in a trance suddenly woke up. "Kuramo...where are you?" "I'm in the phone booth. As far as the place name is concerned, it should be near Fukagawa. Around Monzennakacho." "What are you doing in that kind of place..." "I just passed by here. Is there anyone around you?" "It's just me. Do you know what happened to the company?" "Compulsory search, right? I know." I couldn't hear a sense of crisis from Kuramochi's tone. "Everyone is looking for you." I want to say that I am looking for you too.But endured it. Kuramo chuckled on the other end of the phone. "If I show up now, there will probably be a lot of trouble in the city." "Don't act like you have nothing to do with yourself..." "I know. I can't come out now. However, I want to see you. I have something to ask you." "How about you turn yourself in to the police?" "Stop joking. Let me ask you, can I meet up later? I'll go to your side." "Wait? Now?" "It would be best if we could meet in broad daylight, but now is an extraordinary time." Hearing his unconcerned tone, I really wonder if this guy has figured out his situation. "Okay. Come over to me then. Do you know where?" "I've been there before, so I know where it is, but we'd better move to another place, because maybe someone is watching your house too." "My house? Who's watching? The police?" "The police may be watching, but there may be others... Well, don't say so much, it's better to be somewhere else anyway." I thought about it a bit, and then made an appointment with him at a nearby gourmet restaurant.Kuramochi hung up the phone after confirming the place and time. I got up from the bed and began to change clothes slowly.As my thoughts became clearer, I slowly remembered what Meiqing said.At the same time, the hatred for Kuramochi gradually deepened.I don't know what he wants from me.From the sound of the phone, though, he seemed unsuspecting of me. I inadvertently thought: "This opportunity cannot be let go." I went to the kitchen and opened the drawer.There are kitchen knives and fruit knives inside.Fruit knives are the ones that come with a sheath.I took it in my hand and drew the scabbard.The thin tip of the knife shone coldly under the sunlight.Someone had to do it, I thought.That man made too many people suffer.Of course, the biggest victim was me, so I was the perfect choice to strike. I put on my coat and hid the knife in the inner pocket.Such an action made my heart start beating wildly and my body temperature gradually increased. There is still a little time before the appointed time, but my heart can't calm down.I took a deep breath and left the house. As soon as he walked out, the night wind was like water.However, the chest holding a knife felt inexplicably hot, and I checked the position of the knife several times through the jacket. I walked into the American restaurant, ordered coffee and waited for Kuramochi. At this time, Kuramochi, wearing a black leather jacket, appeared in front of me with his back hunched.He looked at me and walked towards me with a smile. "Excuse me, I asked you out in the middle of the night." He sat down across from me and ordered a cup of hot cocoa to the waitress. "Where do you live?" "Lots of places. Mostly in business hotels." "When are you going to escape to?" "Well, when the time is right, I'll turn myself in to the police. But I have things to do before then." "Is there anything to do?" "It's like dealing with money. If all the hard-earned money is confiscated, wouldn't it be a waste of work?" I stare at his face.He said before that he would not be able to do things and business, that kind of deceitful business, he was really deceiving.This man has worked for a lot of crooks before; he's walking the same old path they walked. Kuramochi took out two thick envelopes from his jacket pocket and stacked them in front of me. On the top of the envelope was written with a ballpoint pen: "Accepted by Kiko." "I said I have something to ask you, and that's what I meant." "what is this?" "I hope you will give one of them to Yukiko. I think there must have been a lot of headaches for her when I was away. Can you tell her for me that I will definitely pick her up, and I hope she will be patient before that. " I slightly opened the envelope and looked inside. There should be about one hundred ten thousand yuan bills inside. I thought to myself: "He still has money by his side even when he runs away." "Another one of your subordinates. It probably will cause you trouble in all aspects. How should I put it, just take it as a little favor from me." Kuramochi drank the hot cocoa brought by the waiter with relish. I really don't know what he's thinking.On the one hand, he used Meiqing to set such a cruel trap for me, but on the other hand, he acted as if his friend was in trouble, and he would not hesitate to do anything.The face before me always puzzled me and made my murderous thoughts languid away. "I want to confirm something with you," I said. "A license to buy and sell securities, right? It was my fault for deceiving you about that. But I figured I'd have to tell you sooner or later." "Not that." I shook my head. "It's Meiqing's business." "What's wrong with her?" "I heard she was your old lover, isn't it?" Cang Chi opened his mouth halfway, his expression frozen, then took a sip of hot cocoa, and pulled the ashtray over. "Did you find out?" He didn't care at all. "What's going on here? You actually hid it from me and asked me to marry her..." "So, do you think that when I introduce her, I should say that she is a woman I have dated before? Then you will only feel unpleasant if you do it? In this world, it is better not to say some things. " "Then why don't you introduce her to me in the first place? I know what's going on in your mind. You just want to push the difficult woman you have to me, right? I know you're What are you thinking?" "Hey, wait a minute. The reason I introduced her to you is simply because I thought you would get along well. Unlike me, you are honest and have planned a stable and reliable life path. In fact, you also have similar personalities Just got married." "What a stable and reliable way of life! It's not that you screwed up." "Hey, Tajima, why are you so angry. I should have apologized to you for introducing Miharu to you before. I just feel sorry for you, so I told you that I will help you as much as possible. , isn't it?" "I heard that you were the one who designed to trap me." "Huh?" Kuramo frowned. "what are you saying?" "Meiqing talked to you and said that she wanted to divorce me, right? Then you came up with the trap and used a woman named Gongzi to lure me into it. I heard that you also prepared that apartment, didn't you?" When Kuramochi heard my words, his expression twisted.He put his hand on his forehead and shook his head slightly. "Is that what she said?" "yes." "Tajima, I did something wrong. She is such a vile woman. This is nonsense." "What did you say?" "Listen to me! I did discuss divorce with her. However, I didn't propose or design to trap you. That's what I told her at the time. As long as Tajima doesn't have an affair, you can even mention it Divorce is useless. Meiqing probably thought of letting you fall into a trap after hearing what I said." "Don't talk nonsense! You are the one who prepared the apartment." "Then I admit it. However, I never dreamed that she would use it like that. At that time, Miharu just asked me to prepare a room for her that she could use freely for one night. So I taught her the key to that room. She. Afterwards, I found out that you were seduced by a woman in that room, and I was shocked. However, I can't tell you about that, which really gave me a headache. " "You are lying!" "I'm not lying. Believe me! Or, Miharu is more trustworthy than me? It's that woman who brought you to such a miserable state!" I stared at Kuramochi's black pupils.In the pupil, there is a serious look that can fool the whole world.Before this, I don't know how many times I cheated with my back to my eyes. "I regard you as my best friend. You are the only person I can trust in this world. It is because of that thought that I risked my way to meet you." Cangchi stretched out his arm and held my hand.His body temperature came from the palm of his hand. "Trust me! I will explain this matter to you in the future. I think the misunderstanding will be cleared up." He glanced down at his watch and frowned. "It's getting late. It's almost time for me to go." "Wait a moment." "Sorry. As you know, I am wanted by the police now. I will contact you again." Cang Chi grabbed the bill, got up and walked to the cashier. My head is full of chaos.I'm always like this, even if I question him, I'm just being led by the nose. On the table was the envelope he left behind.I hold the envelope in my hand.The one under the envelope that says "Accepted by Kiko" seems to be for me.The other envelope also had words written on it. The moment I saw the words, my whole body felt as if struck by lightning. It says - received by Mr. Tajima and Mr. Xin. I recovered and checked again, it was correctly written "Mr. Kazuko Tajima".However, the word "lucky" at that time became the word "Xin" in my eyes. Disgusting scenes from the past flashed through my mind again.I stood up, ran after Kuramochi, and rushed out of the restaurant. He is walking in the parking lot.I reached into the inside of my coat and found the paring knife. Just when I was about to catch up to him... Suddenly, a black shadow sprang out from the side.is a man.That man was like a beast, swiftly pounced on Kuramochi.Kuramochi fell to the ground.He didn't even hum, the man had already run away. I rushed to Kuramochi in panic.A lot of blood flowed from his neck.
