Magic Night 东野圭吾 2169Words 2018-03-22
The setting sun covered the western sky, and there were row upon row of high-rise buildings below, and the surroundings were crowded with various buildings of different sizes.This is a city built by people with ambition and hope.In reality, people live like crawling through the gaps of these buildings, exhausted all day long. Ya also think, I am one of them. He was on the bank of the Sumida River.The boat passed slowly in front of the eyes, and a few ripples were drawn at the stern. Ya also thought, what am I doing here?Why are you here?Five years have passed in the blink of an eye since that nightmarish earthquake.When he thought of what he had done during this period, he felt the cold wind blowing through his whole body.

Did I come to this city to kill my own soul? No, not like that.My soul was dead before I came here, dead the morning of the great earthquake.When I smashed my uncle's head, I wasn't the same person I used to be. She took the initiative to approach this empty-skinned man.Only now do I understand that she approached me precisely because I was such a man.Only those who have lost their souls and lost their way forward can become dolls in her hands. Ya also suddenly laughed at herself, took out her sunglasses from her pocket and put them on.The sky, which was dyed red by the setting sun, suddenly turned gray.

Ya also thought, there is no one more stupid than herself in this world.Crazy infatuation, only with yourself to use yourself, it's like a ridiculous comedy.All her confessions of love are based on deliberate consideration, and her words are no more than spells to keep the puppet she manipulates at its mercy. I looked at my watch, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.A man and a woman walked past him.The three people walking across the river carrying supermarket bags looked like a mother taking two children to buy ingredients for dinner, looking very happy. On the right is a man in his early twenties, wearing a black jacket, with a black beanie pulled up to his eyebrows.When the man saw Ya Ye, he obviously slowed down his pace, then looked around as if observing the movement around him, and then walked over slowly.

"Can I sit next to you?" The man pointed to the bench Yaya was sitting on with his chin. "Please." Ya also moved slightly. After the man sat down, he looked around again, looking very cautious.He seemed to confirm that there was no suspicious person around, so he said to Yaya, "Mr. Suginami?" "Yeah." Ya also nodded slightly. "What did you say?" the person asked. Ya also put the paper bag beside the man: "It's inside, please check." The visitor picked up the paper bag nervously, but before opening it, Ya also said, "Don't take it out, I don't know if it will be seen by others."

"Well, of course." The man looked around again, and then slowly opened the paper bag.Ya also heard him whisper "Yo". Yaya had been smoking as the man reached into the paper bag to examine it.The Sumida River shimmers.Walking along the river, you can go back to the apartment, the room where you have had all kinds of nightmares.Perhaps the landlord has noticed that there is no one living there, but there should be no uproar, and he will find a suitable time to tidy up the house and rent it to others.In Tokyo, no one cares whether someone disappears or someone dies. He suddenly remembered Yuzi.how is she nowStill helping out in the shop, waiting for the man of few words to arrive?

"Great," said the man next to him. Ya also turned her head.The man's eyes lit up, his expression was full of surprise, "You did this? Where the hell..." Ya also smiled lightly, and shook her head: "Didn't you agree to avoid talking about the details?" "Indeed, but..." The man looked inside the paper bag again, and shook his head lightly, "It's far beyond expectations, I thought the workmanship would be rough..." "How about you? You won't bring me something to fool people, will you?" The man seemed quite surprised when he heard the words, closed his mouth angrily, reached into his jacket pocket, and took out a small square bag.

Ya also took it, stamped out the cigarette butt, and stood up without saying a word. The man looked up at him in surprise: "Don't you check?" "No need, do you need to check?" "No, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. If it doesn't matter to you, I don't mind either." "Then we won't meet again in the future." Ya also walked a few steps, stopped, and looked back at the person, "My email address is no longer used." "Yes, mine too." Ya also nodded and started to walk forward.He put the small bag into the pocket of the short windbreaker.

The sun has gradually hidden under the horizon, and the city is slowly being shrouded in darkness. Yaya walked to Kayabacho, got on the subway Hibiya Line, sat on the side seat, and stared blankly at the advertisement.One of them caught his eye. Opening at the turn of the century! The HANAYA 2000. This advertisement is not the first time I have seen it today, it has been seen everywhere about a month ago, and it is sometimes broadcast on TV. In such a bad world, this is really a big deal.Huawu is undergoing a bold large-scale renovation. It is said that it has acquired a nearby building and expanded its business area. As before, it is still engaged in the sales of gemstone products and decorations, but it has also set up a beauty department represented by a beauty salon.Very ordinary women, as long as they enter the magic box of the luxury house, they will emerge as elegant and charming beauties-this is the content of TV commercials.President Akimura also said in an interview with a TV station that in the future, the scope of business will be expanded to all fields related to beauty.

To a beautiful magic box. Ya also heard this sentence from other people.Needless to say, that person was Mifuyu.She often said that her dream is to pursue beauty, and she hopes to get involved in all fields related to beauty and make a series of magic boxes. Ya also realizes again that she must have said the same thing to her husband Akimura.This project is not a plan proposed by Akimura, it must be manipulated by Meifu behind the scenes, and it seems that Akimura is also a doll manipulated by her. Why is she doing this?What force is driving her?Why can she be calm and calm, calculating, and extremely cruel from beginning to end?

The train arrived in Ginza.Ya also stood up and touched the small bag in the pocket of the short windbreaker. Coming to the ground, Yaya walked slowly along Ginza Chuo Avenue.It was already dark, but the lights of various shops illuminated the street like daytime, and the lighting decorations of several shops already had Christmas colors.This pedestrian street is bustling with people, most of whom are company employees or female white-collar workers. Ya also stopped.There you can see the Chinese houses across the road. When she finds that the days with her are phantoms, Ya also decides to disappear from Mifuyu.He couldn't live with her anymore, but he couldn't turn everything into blank paper.The hurt in his heart was extremely deep, and the past he had experienced was too dirty to become a blank sheet of paper.

After leaving the residence, he first thought of exploring Shinkai Mifuyu's past, but it wasn't that Mifuyu, but the real Xinkai Mifuyu who was replaced by her. Who is she? It must be investigated without delay.Kato of the Metropolitan Police Department also knows that Meifuyu is a fake.Ya also wanted to put an end to all this before Kato took real action.
