When Namie opened the sliding door, Yuki was still lying on the bed. "I brought Mr. Yu Chuan over." "Oh, is that so?" Xing Zheng hurriedly operated the button at hand.There was a sound of a motor, and the part of the bed used to support the upper body slowly rose. Tang Chuan said "excuse me" and followed into the house.There was a chair beside the bed, and Namie asked Yukawa to sit on it. "Would you like coffee or black tea?" Namie asked. "No, I have something to do in a while, so I won't be here for long." "I don't need it for the time being." Xing Zheng said.

Namie was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should go away or stay, and finally pulled a chair over and sat down.To be honest, she was a little worried about Tang Chuan, and didn't understand why he asked those questions at the scene of the fire. "Are you feeling better?" "Well, I'm fine. It's just that I've been dealing with the police all day since that happened, and I feel a little tired." "I'll go and tell them, it's almost done." "You don't have to worry about me. By the way, I heard that you are assisting the police in searching?"

"It doesn't count as assistance." "I've seen reports about you in newspapers before, saying that a physicist from University T assisted the Metropolitan Police Department in handling the case and solved a big mystery. The signature on the report is, it should be you, right?" Tang Chuan smiled wryly, and lowered his eyes: "It seems that I will be reprimanded by you again, saying that I don't do my research well, and I am messing around all day long." "No, applying the knowledge you have learned to help others is the job of a scholar. Unfortunately, there are many people in the world who do the opposite. That is to say, those guys who use what they have learned to kill people."

Yu Chuan nodded, looking at Xingzheng's face with a stiff expression.Then he looked around the room with a stiff expression. "It feels like you're still doing research." It probably means that there are still many books on the bookshelf, and even the workbench that Xingzheng used when he was working is still there, and the cabinets where parts and medicines are piled up have not been replaced. "No way." Xing Zheng smiled, "Looking at these things will only make people sad, but they are always reluctant to throw them away." "I can understand your feelings." Tang Chuan stood up, looked out of the window and exclaimed, "The scenery is really good, you can see the pond."

"I've been tired of watching it for a long time." "But unlike man-made landscapes, natural beauty changes every day." "That's true." "Can you still see the other house from here?" Tang Chuan said, "You can even see the windows clearly." "I can see it. So when the fire broke out, I have been watching here." Xingzheng replied. Yu Chuan sat back on the chair and touched his chest. "Oops, I forgot to bring my mobile phone. ——Excuse me, can I borrow this phone of yours?" He said and pointed to the landline next to the bed.

"Yes." Xing Zheng said. Yukawa put the earpiece to his ear, showing a little confusion. "Press this button first when making an outside call." Namie stretched out her hand from the side, "Sorry, this is an old-fashioned phone." Tang Chuan smiled and said "It's okay", and dialed the number. "Hi, I'm Yu Chuan... something will be delivered to the laboratory today. I'm sorry, if I haven't returned by then, can you please sign for it for me?... um , then please." After hanging up the phone, he said "thank you", raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, I should leave."

"Are you leaving? I'm really busy." "It's great to see you today." Tang Chuan said and bowed deeply. Namie sent Yukawa to the entrance, and when he returned to Xingzheng's room, he was lying on the bed again. "What happened to Konno-kun? I heard the police asked him for his alibi?" "I heard that the police didn't say anything later because they didn't find any clues from his house, but they still seem to suspect him. I heard that some criminal police went to his work place." "I can't... this..." "It's no wonder the police suspect him, but he's not the kind of person who can do that kind of thing."

"It's okay, his suspicion will be eliminated soon." After finishing speaking, Xingzheng turned his head to look at the sky outside the window. -------------------------------- Note:
