Chapter 13 Section VI

Five days have passed since the case happened, Ogihara Shinji has not returned to school, and the funeral has long been over, so there should be no reason to ask for leave.Hiromi Nagai has already called several times from the school, but no one answered. — Could something have happened? With a worried heart, Hiromi stopped by Ogihara's house on the way home from school.Including the funeral, this is already the third time she has come here.At the funeral, Shinji looked in good spirits. Compared with the last time I came, the house feels much quieter.When I came here before, it was either a crime or a funeral. In short, it was the kind of overcrowded time, but today the sky is suddenly gloomy, and there are no lights in the house. The whole house gives people an extraordinarily quiet feeling.

Hiromi hesitated for a moment, and pressed the pager button next to the gate.I don't know if the bell rang, but there was no reaction in the room.Hiromi stood there and waited for a while, feeling like she was wasting her time. After waiting for two minutes, Hiromi walked slowly, and there seemed to be no one at home. However, at this moment, the voice of "Teacher, please come in" came from the intercom, and it was Shinji who was speaking.Hiromi quickly turned around and spoke into the microphone. "Ogiwara-kun, why are you..." "You go into the house first, and I will explain to you clearly that the entrance door is not locked."

Sighing, Hiromi walked into the courtyard gate.She found two cars parked in the garage, the larger sedan missing. Opening the entrance door, Shinji welcomed her into the house with a smile on his face. He seemed to be the only one in the house. "Why don't you go to school?" "Don't be too busy preaching." Shinji seemed to be very happy. "If the doorbell rings, use this to check first. If it's a guest you don't want to see, then ignore it." Shinji stood by the window with a binoculars, from which he could indeed see clearly. "I called several times and no one answered."

"Just listen to the ringtone, who knows where the call is from. So I don't answer the phone at all." "Where are your parents?" "Not here." Shinji didn't seem to care. "Not here..." "Dad has gone to the company, and that woman has gone somewhere. Neither of them will come back." Shinji sat down on the bed. "Teacher, do you still remember the disgusting man who drove a white crown on the morning of the incident?" "Remember", Hiromi nodded, "Didn't you say that he is a member of your father's company? And he is quite capable."

"That guy was taken away." "what?" For a moment, Hiromi didn't understand the meaning of his words, and asked back without changing expression. "That guy's name is Zhongxi, and he seems to be the concubine of that woman. Although I don't know the situation well, every time my dad goes on a business trip, that guy will come into the house in the middle of the night. Because my dad originally planned to He lives outside, so the police suspect that he may have sneaked in." The stepmother had an affair with his father's subordinates... Shinji's tone of voice sounded as relaxed as talking about the rumors of a classmate's family.

"Yesterday the police went to the company and took Zhongxi away. Dad went back to work in the company yesterday and didn't come back in the evening. The police ran to the house and asked the woman for a while. At that time, I secretly listened to them The conversation between the two. The woman denied her cheating. But since that night, she has gone nowhere. This is completely self-explanatory. I still have a lot of money, so I am happy It's free." "Do you know where your mother is?" "I don't know, and there's no need to find her." "But……"

Hiromi looked at Shinji thoughtfully, "If that Nakanishi is really the murderer, I don't think your mother would deny that she had an affair. If she did so, she would be covering up the murderer." Shinji didn't answer.He lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling silently. After a long while, he finally squeezed out a sentence: "Who knows." Hong Mei didn't know what to say, she turned her head and looked around the room.There were textbooks and notebooks spread out on the desk, and the desk lamp was on.She finds it hard to understand that in the face of such a situation, Shinji can still study actively.

"Then," Hong Meiyi remembered the purpose of coming today, "When do you plan to go back to school?" "School..." Shinji sat up suddenly, walked to the desk, opened the drawer and turned over.He took out a small bottle and handed it to Hiromi. "For you." It was a perfume bottle with the standard "Vol de nuit" on it.Hiromi knew this French perfume, which was called "Night Flight" in Japan. "How do you have such a thing?" Hiromi asked. "Just leave it alone." Letter 2 said, "In short, I will give it to you."

"I have no reason to accept it." "Just accept it." "I can't take it." Hiromi's tone was tough.Shinji's face suddenly sank. "Then you promise me a request." Xin Er murmured, "You can try to wipe it off now." His eyes seemed to be pleading. The gaze was irresistible to her. "This is not an example." Hiromi opened the cap of the vial, sprayed a little on her middle finger, and wiped it behind her ear.The sweet and bitter aroma slowly filled the room. "All right." Hearing Hiromi's question, Shinji hesitated and said, "Can I get closer and smell it?"

Hiromi hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed.What she fears most is this pleading gaze. Shinji walked to Hiromi's side, and slowly moved his face closer.He pressed his nose to Hiromi's face and took a light breath. "It smells good." "Come on." Just when Hongmei capped the bottle and was about to return Xin Er, the other party suddenly rushed up.It's not so much a rush, it's better to say it's a tight hug.She fell backwards as if being hugged and thrown, and Shinji straddled her. "What are you doing? Stop it." Hiromi struggled desperately, but still couldn't get rid of Shinji, he was very strong.Hiromi felt that the other party's lips were already on her neck.

"Stop it, you little brat." Hiromi swung her right arm vigorously, and hit Shin'er's ear with her palm, making a crisp "pop".The blow made Shinji loosen his grip, and Hiromi finally broke free from his arms.The time was short, but Hiromi was already covered in sweat. Xin Er bowed his head and remained silent.Hiromi leaned against the wall, silently looking down at him.Neither of them spoke, and in the silence, there was only the sound of their heavy breathing. "what are you doing?" Hiromi looked down at him and said again, but her voice was no longer as sharp as before. Shinji's back heaved with intense panting.Hiromi noticed that his body was trembling slightly. "Ogiwara-kun..." Xin Er was silent, he clenched his fists tightly, his whole body was stiff, as if he was enduring pain.It was a while before he moaned and said "I'm sorry." "What's wrong with you?" "Sorry." Shinji lowered his head and repeated, "Go back." Hiromi picked up her bag and coat and went up the corridor.Shinji remained motionless, and Hiromi asked the figure lying on the bed from behind. "Tomorrow... will you go to school?" Shinji didn't respond at all.Hiromi sighed, and walked towards the entrance.
