Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

Outside the narrow door frame stood a man in a dark uniform.The man appeared to be in his mid-thirties, and the sun had darkened his sharply defined face.When the man saw Akio, he greeted him naturally. "I'm very sorry to disturb your rest." The man's tone was brisk, "Excuse me, is it convenient?" He pointed to the door. It should be because he wanted to come in and have a talk, so Akio said "please". The other party opened the door and walked in. When he reached the door, he took out his police work card. He claimed to be Kaga, a criminal policeman from the Neima Department. His tone was gentle, and he didn't see the majesty of a criminal policeman at all, but he exuded an aura that was not easy to get close to.

There was also a man in uniform standing in front of the door of the opposite house, talking to the hostess of the house, probably also a policeman.This shows that there are many police detectives doing large-scale visits in this area. "Excuse me, what happened?" Akio asked.He thought it best to pretend not to know anything about the case, because if the other party asked him how he knew it, he would not be able to answer it. "Do you know Ginkgo Park?" Kaga asked. "Know." "That's right, someone found a girl's body there this morning." "Oh?" Zhaofu replied, although he knew that it would be more beneficial to pretend to be a little bit surprised, but he really didn't have the mood, he could feel that his face was expressionless.

"After you mentioned that, I remembered that I did hear the siren of the police car in the morning." "That's it, I'm so sorry for being so early in the morning." The criminal policeman bowed his head and apologized. "No... Excuse me, where is the child from?" "It's the daughter of a family in 4-chome." Kaga took out a photo from his pocket and showed it to Akio. Maybe the police have a rule not to disclose the name of the victim. "It's her." Seeing this photo, Akio suddenly became unable to breathe, and he felt horrified.

On it is a cute girl with big eyes. It is winter. She is wearing a scarf, and her black hair is tied with a woolen decoration. Her smile is full of happiness. Akio couldn't imagine that this girl was the corpse he had transported to the dark and dirty public toilet in a cardboard box last night, and then he recalled that he hadn't actually looked at the corpse's face carefully. To give such a lovely child to him——Thinking of this, Akio almost fell down.He wanted to squat down and yell, and even more wanted to rush up to the second floor immediately, and drag the son who escaped from reality and hid in the privately created barren world to the police officer in front of him. Of course, he also wanted to pay for what he had committed. sin.

However, he didn't do that, he just barely supported his body and tried his best not to stiffen his expression. "Have you seen her?" Kaga asked, although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the eyes that stared at Akio made him feel extremely uncomfortable. "It's hard to say." Zhao Fu tilted his head to one side. "I often see girls of this age nearby, and I don't pay attention to everyone's faces, and I'm not at home when they are active..." "Are you a company employee?" "Ok." "Then I'd like to ask your family as well."

"family?" "Are you home alone right now?" "No, it's not." "Excuse me, who else is there?" "My wife." He deliberately didn't mention Zhenghui and Naomi. "Can I have a chat with your wife? It won't take up too much of her time." "It doesn't matter...then please wait a moment." Akio temporarily closed the door and let out a long sigh. Yaeko sat at the dining table, looking at her husband with eyes full of anxiety and fear. After listening to Akio finish the detective's request, she shook her head with a disgusted expression.

"No, I don't want to meet the police, you help me find a way to push it away." "But the police said they wanted to ask you something." "This kind of thing can always be prevaricated, right? You can say that I have nothing to do now, but I don't want to see him." After Yaeko finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the room. Zhao Fu told her that she should not answer, but walked up the steps on her own, it seemed that she wanted to lock herself in the room. Akio shook his head, rubbing his face as he walked towards the entrance. After opening the door, the detective smiled politely, and Akio continued to talk to this smiling face.

"She seems to be empty-handed." "Oh, that's right." The detective looked disappointed, "I'm sorry, can I trouble you to show this to your wife?" He took out the photo of the girl just now. "Oh...that's no problem." Zhaofu took the photo, "Just ask her if she has seen it before?" "Yes, thank you for your trouble." Kaga bowed his head in apologetic salute. After closing the door, Akio walked up the stairs at home. There was no movement in Naomi's room, at least he was not playing video games. He opened the door on the opposite side, which was the bedroom of the couple.Yaeko was sitting in front of the dressing table, but she was naturally not in the mood to put on any makeup.

"The policeman, gone?" "No, he said he wanted you to see this." Akio showed the photo. Yaeko turned her eyes away. "Why did he come to our house?" "I don't know. It seems that they are visiting all the nearby houses. It is probably to collect witness information." "Go and tell the policeman that I've never seen it before." "That's all I can say, of course, but you have to see it too." "why?" "Let you see what atrocious things we have done." "Why are you still talking about this? It's up to now." Yaeko said, she didn't turn her face to her husband.

"I tell you to watch it and you watch it." "No, I don't want to see it." Akio let out a sigh, and Yaeko also knew that if she saw the girl's angelic face, her spirit would collapse. He turned and walked out of the room, trying to open the opposite door, but he found it locked.It turned out that there was no such hasp lock on the door, but Naomi installed it on his own. "Oh, his dad, what are you doing?" Yaeko pressed her husband's shoulder. "I want that kid to see it too." "What do you gain by doing this?" "I want him to reflect, to understand what he has done."

"If you don't do this now, Naomi is already reflecting on himself, so he just stays in his room." "It's not like that, he's just avoiding, closing his eyes to reality." "Even so..." Yaeko shook Akio's body with a distorted expression, "You can let him go now, when everything is over...after we get this matter out of the way, can't we have a good talk with him? ? You don't have to rush to stimulate your son at this time, do you? Are you his father?" Looking at the tears in his wife's eyes, Akio let go of the doorknob and shook his head feebly. He agreed with his wife's view that the most urgent task now is how to overcome the immediate crisis. However, Akio thought, can they really escape this disaster in the end?Will he really be able to have a long conversation with his son who has committed such a stupid mistake one day? He returned to the entrance and returned the photo to the criminal police, and naturally added a line that his wife said he had never seen before. "That's right, I'm sorry to bother you." Kaga put the photo in his arms. "Is there anything else you need?" Akio asked. "Yes." Kaga nodded, and then turned his gaze to the yard not far away.This startled Akio, and he tentatively asked, "Is there anything else?" "I want to ask a question that may be a bit strange." Kaga made a statement first. "What type of lawn do you have?" "Lawn?" Akio's voice became sharper. "Don't you know?" "The... lawn has always been there, I think it was planted a long time ago, and the house used to be my parents'." "Oh." "What's wrong with the lawn?" "It's nothing, please don't mind." The criminal policeman smiled and waved his hands, "One last question, from last night to this morning, has anyone been killed in your family?" "From last night... to this morning? I don't think... probably not."
