Chapter 10 chapter Ten

At 5:10 in the morning, the sky outside the window finally brightened. Akio sat in the dining room.Although the curtains are still drawn, the light that penetrates through the gaps continues to increase in brightness. There was a plate of leftover hamburger patties on the table, and there was still half a glass of beer in the glass, but he was in no mood to eat or drink.In the end, Yaeko barely ate a third of the hamburger patty, and couldn't eat any more.She said that she was not feeling well, and now she is resting in a Japanese-style room.Naomi was the only one who ate everything, and just now, Yaeko brought down the empty plate.However, Akio no longer has the energy to complain about this anymore. Just thinking about how to get through today has distracted him.

There was a sound from the entrance. It was someone stuffing something into the mailbox, probably delivering newspapers. Akio was just about to stand up, but sat back down again.If you go out so early, it will be troublesome if you are seen.Today is Saturday, Akio seldom goes out early on Saturday morning, he doesn't want to be suspected because of his abnormal behavior.Moreover, today's morning paper is useless. The news that is very important to them is first published in today's evening paper. At this time the door creaked open, startling Akio, it turned out that Yaeko came in.

"What's wrong?" The other party asked in surprise. "No...why is the sound of this door like this?" "Door?" She tried to push the door back and forth slowly, making a faint grinding sound each time, "Oh, you said this, it was there before." "That's right, I really didn't pay attention." "It was like this more than a year ago." Yaeko said as she glanced at the plate on the table, "Have you finished eating?" "Well, take it." Akio watched her take the dinner plate to the kitchen, and then turned his gaze to the door.He had never cared about the various equipment in the house before, and he didn't know any changes in the house at all.

Zhaofu glanced around the house, it was clearly the place he was used to living since he was a child, but it seemed like he was seeing everything for the first time. His eyes stopped at the glass door facing the courtyard, where there was a rag on the floor. "It was killed here." Zhao Fu said. "Ah? What did you say?" Yaeko poked her head out from the kitchen. She seemed to be still washing things, with her sleeves rolled up. "I said he killed someone in this room." "……Ok." "Did you wipe the floor with that rag?" Akio pointed to the floor in front of the glass door with his chin.

"No, this has to be cleaned up." Yaeko was carrying a shopping bag from the supermarket, grabbed a rag and stuffed it in. "Mix it with other garbage, and don't be discovered after throwing it away." "I know." Yaeko entered the kitchen, and then there was the sound of opening a trash can with watery trash. Akio stared at the floor where the rag had been left, imagining the scene when the girl's body was lying there. "Hi," Akio called Yaeko again. "What's wrong?" The other party frowned impatiently. "Did the girl come into our house?"

"Yeah, so Naomi didn't force her to come here, the girl herself is somewhat responsible—" "Since she is in the house, why is she still wearing shoes?" "shoe?" "That girl had one shoe on, or only one shoe off. Isn't it strange to have shoes on now that she's in the house?" Perhaps because she didn't understand the meaning of Akio's question, Yaeko's eyes wandered uneasily, and finally she nodded with an expression of understanding. "You mean the sneaker, I put it on her." "you?" "The shoes were at the entrance at the time, but later I thought I couldn't let her go barefoot, so I put them on for her."

"Why are you only wearing one?" "Because it took an unbelievably long time for just one, and it's not good to be found if it's too dawdly. Then I hid the other one under the plastic bag, you didn't notice it ?” Yaeko’s eyes widened. "I noticed, that's why I put it on her." "I can rest assured that." "You didn't lie, did you?" Akio looked at Yaeko contemptuously. "what?" "Could it be that she was only wearing one shoe from the beginning? Could it be that Naomi forced her into the house and the other shoe fell off?"

After hearing this, Yaeko raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Why should I tell such a lie? I really put it on her." "...That's good." Zhaofu no longer looked at his wife's face, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was irrelevant. "I said," Yaeko asked, "what about Harumi?" "Chunmei?" "Didn't you not let her come yesterday? What about today?" Akio frowned, he forgot about it. "I told her today that I don't need to come. The reason is that it happens to be Saturday. It's a rare day for me to take care of her."

"Will she suspect?" "What's there to doubt? Chunmei doesn't know about it at all." "……Too."
