Chapter 34 Section VIII

Three days have passed since Sano was involved in an accident while driving.There was an inexplicable gloomy atmosphere in the materials department.The reason didn't stop at the deaths of the two people. It was unknown where the news came out. The rumor that the murderer was among the staff quietly spread in the company.The company stipulates that every employee must wear a badge with a departmental position on his chest.Even when someone in the company sees the name of the material department of the purchasing department, their eyes will change accordingly. As a result, the atmosphere in the company has also become uncomfortable, and the number of staff members staying to work overtime has also decreased significantly recently.

As soon as the day came, Morita walked out of the room.But his reasons for leaving were different. After going out for a few steps, Morita caught up with Yukiko Nakamachi.Seeing Morita's face, Yukiko's black eyes began to shake non-stop. "I found a coffee shop that no one in the company would go to." Morita looked around and said in a low voice, "Let's go there and continue talking about what we said last time." "I don't have much time..." "Just hold you up for a while." After listening to Morita, Yukiko replied softly, "Okay".

After walking for about ten minutes, the two came to the store.It's a coffee shop with dim lighting.As expected, there was no one I knew in the shop.Although she is still young, Yukiko is a widow after all.And after her husband died, only about four months had passed.If she was forced to go to the appointment, the company would obviously issue a warning. Morita took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, smoking half of it silently.Yukiko lowered her head and looked at the ground.The lines of the cheeks clearly emerged in the dim light. "I know it's a bit overwhelming to do that."

Morita put out the first cigarette in the ashtray, and then he took out another one and said, "But I really can't wait any longer. How long should I wait? One year? Or two years? ?” Hearing his words, Yukiko smiled slightly and tilted her head. "I haven't thought about that kind of thing yet." "I know that. Then you don't have to think about it. Can't you stop dating me for a while?" "But……" "Of course. I'll avoid the others as much as possible." "..." Yukiko stopped talking.But she didn't seem offended by it either.Perhaps a little tired of Morita's toughness, she looked down diagonally, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her lips.

Leaving the cafe, Morita offered to see her off, but she did not refuse.Morita thought, although the other party did not give any definite answer, it was not hopeless. Ever since she was transferred to her current position, Morita has been completely obsessed with her.Although she is not a beauty, she has a simple light on her body.For Morita, who used to hang out with those luxurious women, this light was so fresh. He didn't care that Yukiko was married.On the contrary, the miscarriage incident last month had a greater impact on him.The ghost of her dead husband seems to have been haunting her forever.

Walking to the small two-story apartment, Yukiko suddenly stopped in her tracks.On the narrow parking lot, a tall and thin figure was walking towards her.The light illuminated the other person's cheeks. Although he was tall, he was still a childish young man with a big bag in his hand. "Sorry, Shin." Yukiko said, "I took a detour, so I came back late. Did I keep you waiting?" The boy shook his head and silently handed out the bag in his hand.Yukiko took the bag and said, "Come on." The boy looked at her and nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Morita, but Morita didn't seem to be in his gaze.The boy saluted lightly, walked past Morita, and disappeared on the road of the night.

"This is the younger brother of the deceased husband." Seeing the boy's figure disappear into the darkness, Yukiko said, "Nian Ye was a freshman in high school. He works in an auto repair shop, with full board and lodging, and brings a change of clothes every week." "Shall you wash him?" There was a tinge of accusation in Morita's tone, but she didn't answer. "goodbye." After speaking, she walked towards the building.
