Chapter 47 Section VI

Sitting under the pale fluorescent lamp, I was silent.After listening to my long narration, the detectives still maintained their previous postures. The screen of the video is still rotating. Once the machine is paused for more than five minutes, it will start playing again automatically. "I don't even know what to say." The bearded detective finally said, "Is there no other way? What you have done can only be called the behavior of a madman." "Yes, I'm afraid so." I turned my gaze back to the video screen.Naomi is still talking. "But this is the only way to maintain the previous life."

"Having said that, you don't have to commit murder, do you? Although you have a well-planned plan, you will still reveal your secrets in the end." "indeed so." I smiled wryly, I didn't have any strength left in my body, and I didn't want to imagine what would happen to me in the future. "But I always thought... my plan was perfect." "Perfection does not exist in this world at all. This time you have experienced it yourself, right?" "……yes." Naomi on the screen has finished telling her suicide method and quietly closed her eyes.Now, those bandages are gone.

Speaking of which, why did I overlook that thing? The point of the whole plan is that no one will be able to tell that the tape was made last year.For this reason, I have checked it many times, and it can be said that it is exhaustive.The bandage on the left shoulder is indeed not very obvious, but I investigated it so carefully at that time, I should not have missed it. At this moment, the two police officers stood up.The younger one put his hand on my shoulder. "Let's go." nodded.It's useless to think about it any further.In fact I did make a mistake. "Can the video be turned off?"

The bearded detective stretched out his hand towards the video recorder.Naomi's figure was still on the monitor.The moment the policeman was about to press the switch, that thing appeared. "Wait a moment." He stopped the detective and brought his face closer to the screen.Under the bench where Naomi was lying, something was crawling. spider. The spider with yellow and black stripes was the one that crawled across Naomi's bow when she committed suicide two days ago. Suddenly, I felt ringing in my ears, followed by headache, rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing. Could it be——

No, it's just a possibility.In this way, everything will come to light. This video tape was actually shot by Naomi recently. Naomi already knew about my plan.It is estimated that this is the conclusion she drew from the analysis of various situations.Maybe I let her cut her hair short, which made her more convinced of her guess. However, Naomi did not stop my plan.Knowing that my love was nothing more than a lie, she decided to commit suicide again, using the method of letting me do it. But she didn't forgive me. She set a huge trap for me, waiting for me to fall into the trap. She must have been in this room the night before she was killed.Afterwards, she took out the videotape from the shelf and looked at what she looked like last year, what she said and what actions she did at that time, because there was a preview before, and she recalled it quickly.

Then she set up the camera and did a scene exactly like last year.It is estimated that she also watched it many times and reshot it many times.In the end, she finally managed to capture a video that was almost identical to last year's.There is only one difference.That's the bandage on the left shoulder. The words on the corner of the report card that the criminal police showed me just now were probably left on purpose by her, in order to let the criminal police see through my tricks. "what happened?" The bearded detective stared at my face.I shook my head slowly. "nothing."

"Then let's go." The detective pushed my back and walked towards the door.Before going out, I looked back at the bench where Naomi once lay. Now I finally understand why she said that in the end... Farewell, Coach—
