Chapter 12 fourth quarter

Every Tuesday and Friday night, Kawashima Etoshiko and Karasawa Yusho attend English conversation classes together, and she is influenced by Yukisui. The class time is from seven to eight thirty.The cram school is ten minutes away from the school, but Jiang Lizi used to go home after school and go out after dinner.During this time, Xuesui went to practice in the drama club.Jiang Lizi, who is always inseparable from Xuesui, can't join the drama club until the third year of junior high school. On Tuesday night, after tutoring, the two walked side by side as usual.Halfway through the walk, when he came to the school, Xuesui said he wanted to call home, so he went into the public phone booth.Jiang Lizi looked at his watch. It was almost nine o'clock. This was the result of their chatting in the cram school classroom.

"I've been waiting for a long time," Xuesui said after finishing the phone call, "My mother told me to go home quickly." "Then we have to hurry up." "Well, do you want to take a shortcut?" "OK." Usually they would walk along the main road with buses, but now they turned into the small road.Taking this path is equivalent to taking the third side of the triangle, which can save a lot of time.Usually they seldom walk this way, because the street lights here are dim, and most of them are warehouses and parking lots, with few residents.They walked up to a building that looked like a lumberyard warehouse, stacked with lots of lumber.

"Huh!" Xuesui stopped and looked in the direction of the warehouse. "What's wrong?" "Is it our school uniform that fell there?" Xuesui pointed to a certain place. Jiang Lizi looked in the direction she pointed, and there was a white cloth-like thing lying beside the scraps piled up against the wall. "Huh! Really?" She tilted her head, "Isn't it just a piece of cloth?" "No, that's our school uniform." Xuesui walked over to pick up the white cloth, "Look, it's true." She was right, although it was torn, it was indeed a school uniform.The light blue collar was exactly what Jiang Lizi was familiar with. "How could there be a school uniform here?" Jiang Lizi said.

"I don't know...ah!" Yusui, who was checking the uniform, called out. "what?" "This." Xuesui asked her to look at the chest area of ​​the school uniform. The name tag is held there by a safety pin and reads "Fujimura". Jiang Lizi felt fear for no reason, and felt a shiver running down his back, all he wanted was to leave immediately. Xuesui looked around with her torn school uniform.She found a small door in the nearby warehouse half-opened, and boldly looked inside. "Let's go home quickly!" When Jiang Lizi said this, Xuesui screamed, covered her mouth with her hands, and staggered backwards.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lizi asked tremblingly. "Someone... fell there...maybe...dead." Xuesui said. The person who fell on the ground was Fujimura Matsuko from Class 2, Grade 3, Junior High School, Tsinghua Girls' Academy, but she did not die.Although her hands and feet were bound, a gag was tied behind her head, and she was unconscious, she regained consciousness soon after being rescued. It was Jiang Lizi and Xuesui who found her, but someone else rescued her.They thought they had found the body, and after calling the police, they dared not approach the warehouse. They held each other's hand, trembling.

Miyako Fujimura was naked on the upper body, and all the clothes on the lower body except the skirt were taken off and discarded beside her.In addition, a black plastic bag was also found. The ambulance personnel who arrived quickly sent Duzi to the ambulance, but due to her condition, she could not speak at all.Even when she saw Jiang Lizi, she didn't react, her eyes were empty. Jiang Lizi and Xuesui were taken to a nearby police station, where they were briefly questioned.Jiang Lizi took a police car for the first time, but because she had just witnessed the tragic situation of Fujimura Tsuko, she was really terrified.

The one who asked them all kinds of questions was a middle-aged man with a crop cut. He looked like a sushi chef, but his temperament was completely different.Even though he knew that he was concerned about their feelings and tried to be as gentle as possible, his sharp eyes still made Jiang Lizi afraid. The police's questions finally focused on how they found Duzi and whether they had any clues about the incident.Regarding what happened, Jiang Lizi and Xuesui looked at each other from time to time, describing as accurately as possible, and the police seemed to find no doubts.But when it comes to whether they have a clue, the two of them can't provide any clues.Because the night road is dangerous, the school has always advised students that if they come back late due to club activities, they must go together on the avenue that the bus passes by, but in fact they have never heard of an accident.

"When you came home from school, did you see any strange people, or anyone ambushing on the side of the road? It doesn't matter if you didn't meet them yourself. Have any of your friends had similar experiences?" asked the policewoman next to her. . "I've never heard of such a thing." Jiang Lizi replied. "However," Xuesui said, "someone is spying on the school, or secretly filming us after school, right?" She looked at Jiang Lizi for approval. Jiang Lizi nodded, she forgot about them. "Is it the same person?" asked the policeman.

"There were several people who peeked, and those who took pictures... I don't know." Jiang Lizi replied. "But, I think they're all from the same school." "School? Are you a student?" The policewoman opened her eyes wide. "I think it's from Oe Junior High School." Xuesui said.Her determined tone made Jiang Lizi look at her in surprise. "Da Jiang? Are you sure?" The female policeman needed confirmation. "I used to live in Dajiang, so I can recognize it. I think that is indeed the school badge of Dajiang Junior High School."

The policewoman and the middle-aged policeman looked at each other. "What else do you remember?" "If it was the person who secretly photographed me last time, I would know his last name. He had a name tag on his chest at that time." "What's your last name?" The middle-aged policeman's eyes lit up, with an expression of catching prey. "I remember it should be Qiuji. The autumn of autumn and winter, the auspicious auspiciousness." Jiang Lizi was surprised to hear the conversation.Before, Xuesui could be said to have completely ignored the existence of those people, but it turned out that she even read the other person's name so carefully.Jiang Lizi didn't remember whether the man had a famous tag on him.

"Akiyoshi...is that right?" The middle-aged policeman whispered a few words in the policewoman's ear, and the policewoman stood up. "Finally, I would like to ask you to take a look." The middle-aged policeman took out a plastic bag and put it in front of them. "This is something that fell on the scene. Do you have any impression?" The plastic bag contained what appeared to be a key ring charm, and the chain attached to the small tumbler was broken. "No." Jiang Lizi said, and Xuesui also gave the same answer.
