Chapter 9 Chapter nine

He returned to the yard, looked at the cardboard box and sighed.It contained corpses, and he was the one who was going to remove the cardboard box next. He still couldn't accept such a reality. This must be the worst night in his life. He closed the lid and lifted the carton.In addition to feeling inconvenient to carry, I also found that it was indeed heavier than carrying the corpse alone.He went outside with the cardboard box and put it on the bike rack.Because the shelves are small, it took a lot of work to fix the cartons.Of course, it was impossible to ride a bicycle. Akio grabbed the handlebar with one hand and pushed the cardboard box with the other, and began to move forward slowly. The street lamp behind him stretched his shadow very long.

It should be about two o'clock in the middle of the night, and there are no pedestrians on the dark street, but there are still lights in the windows of some residents. In order to avoid accidentally causing noise, Akio moved forward cautiously. Now there are no buses, so there is basically no need to worry about people coming from the place where the bus passes.You must be careful with other vehicles, and when buses and trams are resting, the probability of taxis driving into small residential areas increases. As soon as he thought of this, there was a car light in front of him, and Akio immediately dodged and hid in the privately built path next to him.Since it is a one-way street, there is no need to worry about cars coming here.Soon, the black taxi drove away.

Akio walked towards his destination again. The ten-minute journey made him feel suffocated. Located in the heart of the residential area, Ginkgo Park is simply a modest park surrounded by ginkgo trees.Although there are benches in the garden, there is no shelter from the wind and rain, so no homeless people make it their home. Akio pushed his bicycle to the public toilet at the corner of the park.Perhaps it was because it had been raining until this morning, the soil on the ground was very soft, and the toilet didn't seem to be lit. Holding the cardboard box, he approached the toilet while being alert to the movement around him.After a little hesitation, he went into the men's bathroom.Because he thought that in order to make others think it was a perverted act, it would be more appropriate to go into the men's toilet.

There was an unbearably frowning stench coming from the men's toilet. Akio tried not to let out his breathing, and walked in with the cardboard box in his arms.He turned on the switch of the flashlight he brought, and pushed open the door of the only private room.The filth inside was astounding, and he felt that it was too pitiful for the young girl to be abandoned here, even if it was just her body.But now, it is impossible to turn back. Akio held the flashlight in his mouth, opened the cardboard box, and moved the girl's body into a single room. He chose a place as far away from the toilet as possible, and let the body sit there against the wall.But as soon as he let go of his hand, the girl's body fell to one side.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Akio almost dropped the flashlight in his mouth, because he found wet grass sticking to the girl's back, needless to say, it was naturally from Maeda's yard. This grass may become evidence... He doesn't know much about scientific criminal investigation, but he thinks that as long as the grass is tested, it will be possible to know what kind of grass it is and what kind of soil it is suitable for growing. In this way, the police will definitely investigate the lawns of nearby private houses thoroughly. Akio desperately patted the grass on the corpse, which was still stuck to the girl's skirt and hair.However, during the filming process, Akio noticed that even taking the grass off her body was meaningless, it had to be removed from the scene.

In a wave of desperation, he began to pick up the grass that had been slapped on the ground, and threw it into the toilet.He also checked the maiden's hair, now that the fear of the dead was beyond his consideration. Finally, he was about to flush the grass-covered toilet, but no matter how hard he pressed the handle, the water wouldn't come out.Although he tried his best to move the handle, he still couldn't get a drop of water. Zhaofu walked out of the single room to wash his hands and turned on the faucet, only to see a thin stream of water.He took off his gloves, picked up the water with both hands to a certain extent, and quietly returned to the single room, poured it into the toilet, but such a small amount was not enough to flush away the grass inside.

He used his own hand as a container and went back and forth several times.Akio also asked himself what he was doing, and would call the police if he was seen.But now he didn't even have time to be timid, and his unscrupulous mood made his actions bolder. After finally flushing the grass, Akio walked out of the toilet with the empty cardboard box.He went back to where the bikes were parked and refolded the boxes.Although he wanted to throw it directly next to the corpse, he had to worry that this cardboard box might become important physical evidence.After folding it to a size that could be carried with one hand, he rode on the bicycle.

But when he stepped on the pedal hard, he suddenly realized something and cast his eyes on the ground.There are faint traces of tire pressure on the soft ground. It was a close call—he jumped out of the car and smoothed the tire marks with the sole of his shoe.Of course, he also made himself careful not to leave footprints.Then he lifted the bicycle, took it to a place where it was not easy to leave marks, and rode it again. When stepping on the pedals, Akio felt that his whole body was soaked in sweat, and his back and other places were already feeling a little cold from the wet shirt clinging to him.Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead into his eye sockets, and the severe pain made him frown.

After returning home, Shiling Akio felt a headache in handling the cardboard boxes.The girl's excrement was stained in the box, but it couldn't be simply thrown outside.Burning is one way, but lighting a fire at this time will be reported instead. The black plastic bags in the yard were still there as they were, and Zhaofu complained in his mind that his wife didn't even clean up this thing for him while tidying up.He stuffed the cardboard box inside and entered the house. Opening the sliding door of Zhenghui's room from the corridor, it was pitch black inside, and Zhenghui seemed to have already covered herself with a quilt and slept.

Akio opened the small cabinet above the closet, so there is no need to worry about being opened by Zheng Hui without authorization.He put the plastic bag inside and closed the kitchen door gently, but there was no movement from Zheng Hui. After leaving the room, he found that there was a stench on his body, which was stained when he moved the girl.He went to the bathroom, took off his clothes, stuffed them into the washing machine, and took a shower.But no matter how much I wash it with soap, I always feel that the smell still remains. After changing clothes in the bedroom, he returned to the dining room.Yaeko had placed glasses and cans of beer on the table, and the vegetables she bought from the supermarket were also placed on a plate, which seemed to have been heated in a microwave.

"What's going on here?" Zhaofu asked. "I think you're tired too, and you haven't eaten dinner, have you?" "I have no appetite." With that said, he still opened the can of beer.He wanted to at least let himself get drunk, even if he couldn't sleep tonight even if he was too drunk—— There was the sound of a kitchen knife cutting something in the kitchen. "what are you doing?" Yaeko, however, did not answer.Akio stood up and looked towards the kitchen. There was a bowl with minced meat on the cooking table. "What are you going to do in the middle of the night?" Zhao Fu asked again. "He said he was hungry." "hungry?" "Naomi came down just now, and..." The next words became ambiguous. Akio felt the muscles on his face twitching. "He still said he was hungry? He did such a thing and made his parents suffer so much..." He took a deep breath, shook his head, and walked to the door. "Wait, don't go!" Yaeko hurriedly called him, "There's nothing you can do about it, he's so young, he hasn't eaten anything since daytime, it's normal to be hungry." "I have no appetite at all." "Me too, but he is still a child and doesn't understand the seriousness of the matter." "So I'm going to let him know." "There's no need to hurry now." Yaeko grabbed Akio's arm, "It's okay after the matter is over, right? He was also hit, not unconscious, so he didn't mention the matter of being hungry before. Son." "He didn't mention it because he didn't want to hear my accusations, so he saw me going out and felt that the opportunity came, so he came to tell you. If he was really reflecting, why didn't he go downstairs? Why did he still shrink in the room?" "It's natural for a child to want to avoid his father's scolding. Anyway, bear with it tonight, and I'll talk about him in the future." "Will he listen to you?" "Maybe you won't listen, but it won't help if you scold him now. Blaming him won't solve any problems. What you need to consider now is how to protect him." "How do you protect him with all your mind?" "Isn't it okay? I've decided to stand by the child no matter what he does, and to protect him, even if he becomes a murderer. Please let him go tonight, please." Please, please." Yaeko's tears flowed down her cheeks, leaving two traces, and her wide-open eyes were filled with blood. Seeing his wife's distorted expression, Akio's anger subsided, replaced by a sense of emptiness that gradually spread in his heart. "Let go of your hands." "I don't because you..." "If you tell you to let go, let go, I won't go upstairs." Yaeko stared blankly with her mouth half open. "real?" "It's true, well, you can make him a hamburger or something." Akio shook off Yaeko's hand, sat back on the dining table, and drank all the beer in the glass. Yaeko breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to the kitchen to continue chopping her vegetables.Looking at his wife who was concentrating on wielding the kitchen knife, Akio thought, maybe she won't be able to maintain her normal sanity if she doesn't do something. "Make some for yourself too," Zhaofu said, "Since you've made it, let's eat together." "I don't need it." "Don't be wordy, you have to eat too. I don't know when I will be able to eat a meal with peace of mind. I will come with you. If you don't have an appetite, you have to eat hard." Yaeko walked out of the kitchen. "his dad……" "Tomorrow will be tough, and we need to replenish our strength." Yaeko nodded seriously in agreement with his words.
