"Is that so, they went to the office as expected... Well, they just left. They called for an alibi, and they asked me about this... It's not clear, maybe I'm still suspicious. Later, they said they were going to Take a look at the house...yes, even searched the closet...ah, it's a policewoman who did the search, nothing...well, yeah, maybe it's better like this. I see. Okay, tomorrow See." After hanging up the phone, Kimiko smiled wryly at Ye Yue. "Uncle Tui?" Ye Yue asked. "Yes. After I came home, the police went to the office and searched my desk and locker. They must be looking for stolen gold bars."

"Stupid. No matter how poor we are, it's impossible for us to do such a thing." Ye Yue's voice could not help becoming sharper.She had been resentful when the criminal police searched the house before. "I just happened to visit her home that day, and I can't help being suspected. Besides, there are not many people who know about the organ in the Buddhist altar of her home." "But you are not the only one who knows that there is gold hidden in the Buddhist altar of Grandma Yeping's house. Don't I also know about this?" "Stop saying a few words. It's really a big deal this time. I don't know when their family will have a funeral, and I have to go through the insurance procedures for Mrs. Nopera." Kimiko looked at A calendar hung on the wall, an elbow resting on the table.

Ye Yue thought to herself, you have been treated as a suspect by the police, why do you still have time to worry about the funeral and insurance money for the victim.But in fact, the confusion hidden under this seemingly sensitive face is exactly the strength of Kimiko.Otherwise, she might not be able to survive the previous difficulties at all. Ye Yue's father died by suicide.He died from carbon monoxide poisoning using briquettes.The reason is that the company he ran went bankrupt, and the huge debt he was carrying made him miserable. Losing the pillar of the family, the mother and daughter lamented unceasingly, but they could not wash their faces with tears all day long.Kimiko asked an acquaintance to introduce her current job.Before she got married, she had been in the insurance business.

"Uncle Uui is worried, right?" "Yeah, anyone would be surprised when the police came suddenly. He told me that it would be better not to come here for the time being, and I replied 'yes'. Because in the current situation, it is likely to cause him trouble of." It had been a long time since Kimiko had said the word "he".Ye Yue thought to herself, maybe at this time, the more she wants to go to Zui Jing to act like a baby. Usui Toshikazu is the boss at the office where Kimiko works.When she first started working, Sui took care of her in every way.Today, "Without him, how could an ordinary housewife transform into a professional woman?" has become Kimiko's catchphrase.

Ye Yue has also noticed the male-female relationship between Kimiko and Uui.Although Tui was divorced, she had no children, so she had already decided in her heart that if the two were going to get married, she would not object.Because whenever she recalled the hardships that Kimiko had suffered before, she felt that her mother was fully entitled to the happiness of being a woman. Recently, Tsui comes home once a week on average.Of course he wouldn't stay overnight, at most he brought some canned beer and chatted with Kimiko and Hazuki while drinking.Ye Yue always felt that what Zui did was actually preparing for remarriage.

"Why did that dog disappear?" Ye Yue murmured. "what?" "Didn't you listen to the two criminal policemen? The dog raised by Grandma Yeping is missing. I saw that black dog too." "Yeah." Kimiko nodded, "I don't know why, I always thought it was a pretty good watchdog before, but if it disappears at a critical moment, then it's really a waste of money." When her mother was feeling emotional, Ye Yue kept staring at her mother. "Mum, don't you think it's weird?" she asked. "What? What's wrong?"

"First, the dog suddenly disappeared, and then a thief happened to break into her house. How can such a coincidence happen?" "Then what do you think is going on?" "Need to say? The murderer must have taken the dog away." "Take the dog away?" "Ok." "why?" "Didn't you say—" Ye Yue was about to say "I'm thinking about this question", but she swallowed it back.Because, the crystal pendant hanging on her hand started to swing.
