Chapter 33 Section 5

Although it felt like a guest had come in, Changjiang Hideki was still immersed in the sports news.He thought, anyway, they are just casual shoppers, and they don't have any valuables, so they don't worry about being stolen.Even if it was stolen, the item was not his, and it happened that he hated the shopkeeper a little bit. "Wave", a small souvenir shop, mainly sells cheap sunglasses, water balls, beach sandals, etc. Just a few days ago, there were a large number of young men and women wandering innocently in the shop. But now he is restless.The season for sea bathing has passed, so it is only natural that there are fewer people.

"Even so. It's ten days earlier than before." The shopkeeper muttered. In fact, according to the past experience of the Yangtze River, there should be few tourists on the beach across the road. It's been so cold this year. The reason is very simple, that is, the explosion incident a few days ago. Although the pillar of fire blew up the woman who was enjoying the fun of sea bathing, the reason is still unknown.Anyone who wants to take a sea bath is terrified.Changjiang himself also tried not to go to that area of ​​regret, because now there are even rumors of landmines being planted.

"I'm afraid the business will fail this year," said the owner.Changjiang feels the same way. While he was flipping through the sports news, a man quickly stepped up to the front and put something on the cash register.It was a small key chain, a commodity sold in the store. "Welcome." Changjiang put down the newspaper and hurriedly put the money into the cash register.The key chain is 450 yen. "It looks very clear." The customer said while paying. The visitor was a tall man in his thirties, wearing sunglasses and an Armani collared shirt.It can be seen from the basically unstained face that he doesn't come to the beach very often.

"Yes." Changjiang put the keychain in his bag and handed it to him along with the change. "Are you still affected by the explosion?" "If it's not this, what could it be!" Changjiang's answer was a bit blunt.He thought, why bring this up again. "I came here to ask if there is a coffee shop nearby." The guest pointed his thumb to the east, "At that time, you seemed to be nearby." Changjiang raised his head, trying to see the man's eyes clearly, but due to the dark color of the sunglasses, he couldn't see inside.The man's expression was incomprehensible.

"Are you a policeman?" Jiang Jiang asked.He has been investigated several times for this matter. "No, I'm..." The man took out his business card. Seeing the title printed on the business card, Changjiang was a little surprised. "I didn't expect the professor of physics to come here." "Can you tell me something about that time? It won't take up too much of your time." "Forget it, what I said is just saying, and it has no reference value for you. The police also put on a surprised face." "Did you see anything strange?"

"Of course it's strange! It's certainly strange that an explosion suddenly happened in such a place!" "What was it like when it exploded?" "How to put it, it just suddenly spewed out fire from the sea, and the water splashed tens of meters high. It felt like something had split." "split?" "Well. After that, something even more incredible happened, although no one would believe what I said." "what happened?" "The tiny fire beads slid away and spread on the surface of the sea, as if they were alive." "Sliding away on the surface of the sea... well," the man pushed the center part of the sunglasses with his finger, "it's not the same as splashing sparks, is it?"

"It's completely different, because the only thing that changes direction in the middle is the beads." "What about the color?" "what?" "Color, what trembling color?" "Hmm..." Changjiang recalled the situation at that time, "yellow." "I see," the man nodded, seemingly satisfied with Chang Jiang's answer, "Is it yellow?" "The police said it was my illusion..." "But it's not an illusion." "Well," Changjiang nodded, "it doesn't matter if you don't believe what I say."

"No, I believe it." The man put the bag with the keychain in his pocket, "I'm sorry to disturb you during working hours." "Is my answer okay?" "Well, it's totally fine." The man walked out of the shop. Changjiang watched the man's back, thinking about whether he should tell his friends about it for a while.They would be very surprised if they were told that a physicist had come to visit him from Tokyo.
