(Four) "Mr. Namiki, Mr. Namiki, it's dawn." Shunsuke opened his eyes in a shake.He was lying on the couch in the living room, and the person who woke him up was Junko Sakazaki. "It seems that I fell asleep." He sat up slowly and looked around.The others haven't come out yet. "No, why sleep here. Don't you have a cold?" "It seems to be fine, what time is it?" "It's just after seven." Junjie's coat fell at his feet, Junzi picked it up for him.Then the whole stack of photographs in the inner pocket fell to the floor. "Oh!" Junzi stopped picking up.

Shunsuke replaced him and began to tidy up, Junzi's expression froze. "Don't you ask what the picture is?" "What picture is it?" "I don't know either, because I didn't take the picture." Junjie showed Junzi a photo, but she didn't want to see it. "It was taken by Miliko." The gentleman raised his head and said, "Why did she take a picture?" "Before I answer, can you tell me? Continuing from yesterday's topic, you said that other people are not normal. You don't want to associate with them. What's going on?"

"This topic has been..." Junzi walked into the kitchen quickly. Junjie stood up and showed the whole stack of photos across the bar. "Almost all the members were photographed this time. It seems that they are gathering together for something. But there is no figure of you in it. What's going on?" "I have no idea." "Ms. Sakazaki, what's the matter? Didn't you talk to me a lot yesterday? Why are you vague today?" "I'm not ambiguous." She put the pan on the stove and fired it up.Then open the refrigerator and look inside.

Shunsuke stared at her back, lowered his voice and asked, "Did Mr. Fujima say something?" Facing the refrigerator, Junzi's shoulders trembled. "What are you talking about?" "I find it strange that your husband didn't want to protect Minako at all at first, and he didn't want to have anything to do with this matter. But after talking with Mr. Fujima, his attitude changed completely. This situation is simply unusual." "So that's because my husband was too excited at first to make a normal judgment." "Is it normal? Logically speaking, it is normal to refuse to agree to help. Thinking objectively, Mr. Fujima's behavior is strange!"

The gentleman closed the refrigerator, turned around with difficulty, his cheeks were a little flushed. "It's strange for Mr. Namiki to say that. Everyone...including me is because they like Minako and don't want her to be arrested for murder. Don't Mr. Namiki think so?" "That's not the problem." Hearing footsteps at this moment, Shunsuke hurriedly left the bar.Minako walked in. "Did not you go to sleep?" "It seems to be sleeping here." "Really." Minako glanced at the table with the bourbon bottle, and then walked to the kitchen. "Excuse me, gentleman. I'll help."

The Fujima couple also walked in. "Morning, are you still up?" "Sleeping is the same as not sleeping." Junjie picked up the bourbon bottle and left the living room first, passing Guan Gu and his wife in the corridor.They just nodded to each other without speaking. Back in his room, he changed into a polo shirt and jeans and went straight to bed.Because of too much force, the bed was a little crooked. After lying down for a while, he stood up and sat on the edge of the bed again.The hour hand pointed to seven o'clock just after the umbrella.He got up and took out the toiletries from the travel bag, and when he was about to walk out the door, he glanced at the floor and stopped.He crouched down.

Because the position of the bed has been moved slightly, there are obvious circular marks at the foot of the bed on the carpet.The surroundings were stained dark red, and Shunsuke showed a distorted expression. Fujima, who was standing in front of the dining table and was about to take stomach medicine, stopped his movements and asked, "Do you have that kind of photo?" "Yes." Junko Sakazaki nodded and said, "There seem to be several." "I found it in the room of Miko Kodai." Fujima clicked his tongue. "There is such a thing, he is so calm."

"Have you photographed anything that shouldn't be photographed?" Guan Gu asked from the side. "I think even if you get it, you can't say anything just by the photo. It's just that you will find it strange." Teng Wen looked at Junzi and asked, "Did he say anything when he showed you the photo?" "He asked me why I wasn't in there..." After hearing Junzi's answer, Guan Gu looked away with a strange face and scratched his hair. "What else did you say?" Fujima asked. "And that's all." "After seeing the photos of everyone gathered at my house, why did he have such doubts? Gentleman, did you say something to him?"

"I didn't." She shook her head in denial. "Really? You can't tell the truth." "I didn't say anything." Fujima looked at her face for a while, her gaze never evading.So Fujima looked away and sighed. "However, if this is the case, it means that he has not discovered anything yet." "But he was suspicious. Especially he was surprised by my husband's sudden change of attitude." "That can't be helped, what can I do." "But he is really strange, everyone wants to protect Minako, most people should accept it obediently." Guan Gu put his hands on the bar counter and said, "What's more, the whole incident was caused by his own affair. It seems that because I like that woman so much, I have no interest in protecting Minako."

"It seems to be strange about the matter we came forward to protect." "Yeah. He seemed to have this question at the beginning." Fujima said, "Yesterday, on the way to her house, he also mentioned it. He also doubted Minako's relationship with me. My answer at the time was both There is no negation or affirmation, maybe I did something wrong?" "Why did you answer that way?" Guan Gu asked. "Because I want him to explain my motivation to me as: I want to help Minako who is particularly fond of me. And I think he has no feelings for Minako anymore."

"I see, but why didn't he accept it?" "Because he has a keen sense." Minako expressed her opinion in the kitchen, "and he has a good mind." "It seems so, but we still have to hide it to the end." While Fujima was speaking, the doorbell rang.The female relatives in the kitchen suddenly started to move again, and Guan Gu left the bar. "Probably the children are here. It's the same as usual." After hearing Fujima's words, everyone nodded. Pasta was eaten for breakfast, and the families sat together to eat as usual.Shunsuke sat opposite Zhang Tai, and Minako sat next to Zhang Tai. "Did you find a good place yesterday?" Zhang Tai asked. "Ah?" "Didn't you go out to find a place for today's barbecue?" "Ah... yes. I think Fujima-san will announce later." "Oh, are there any trees over there?" "Tree?" "Well, because I want to do my summer homework." "Oh. Aren't there trees everywhere?" Minako quietly listened to the conversation between the father and son who were not their own. After breakfast, Fujima stood up and said to everyone: "I am here to announce today's itinerary. As I told you before, there is no need for class this afternoon. We will barbecue next to Hime Kami Lake. Children can bring what they want to play. toy." Fujima's son Naoto clapped his hands lightly, and Sakazaki's son Takuya also applauded softly.The expressions of Sekiya Haruki and Zhang Tai did not change much. "Zhang Tai, are you unhappy?" Minako asked her son, "It's finally time to play." "I'm very happy." "But I see you don't seem very happy." "Because I'm eating." Zhang Tai stuffed the remaining pasta into his mouth.After swallowing it, he asked his father, "Why Hime Kami Lake?" "Huh? What why?" "But didn't you all go to a very far place yesterday? It turned out to be Jishen Lake nearby." "Because other places are not so good." "Oh." Zhang Tai looked at the plate of pasta.Minako observed her son's state. At this moment, Shunsuke saw Tsukumi walking out of the courtyard.He was drinking coffee, but he put down half a cup and left the table. "Teacher!" Shunsuke also walked to the courtyard, calling out to Tsujiujian's back. The young cram school teacher turned around with a look of surprise: "Yes." "You worked hard. I'm sorry I didn't help you last night." "Where, it's okay. But Mrs. Namiki's physical condition is okay? She doesn't seem to be energetic." "Probably because I pushed myself too hard, I was a little tired. But I didn't get sick." "That would be fine." "How are you doing over there? How are you doing in class?" Junsuke put on a friendly smile. "I think it went well. Including Zhang Tai, everyone can understand the class." "Hearing you say that, even if it's a polite word, I feel at ease." "I didn't say polite words." "By the way." Junsuke said in a low voice, "I don't know if all the teachers in the cram school take on jobs outside of the cram school like Mr. Tsukumi... Should it be called extracurricular activities... Are there many teachers like this?" "You mean part-time jobs?" "In general terms." Jin Jiu saw a wry smile on his face and said: "I don't think there are many. And it's not so much for money, it's mostly because of favors, so there's nothing I can do about it." "Would you like to introduce me too?" "Introduction?" Tsujimi showed a confused look. "Who are you referring to?" "For example, tutors or college counselors. Ha! I don't know if there are such tutors." "Hmm..." After Jin Jiujian pondered, he crossed his hands in front of his chest. "No matter which one it is, it can be regarded as our opponent at work, and basically we won't introduce it. Why do you ask this?" "No. It's actually my friend. He has a child in elementary school and he wants to ask if there are any tutors available. I mentioned that our family is in a cram school, and he said that the cram school can't take good care of his family. Stupid kid, just looking for one-on-one teaching." After hearing this, Jin Jiujian opened his mouth and laughed and said: "Then you must persuade him to come to our cram school. We are famous for being able to cope with all kinds of children. There are really all kinds of children, all kinds of children. All kinds." Then he covered his mouth with his hands and said, "Including idiots." When Junjie chuckled, someone called "teacher" behind him.It's Fujima. "Time to take the kids to class." "Ah... yes. Mr. Namiki, I will take my leave first." Jin Jiujian nodded slightly and walked towards the house. Seeing Tsukumi disappear into the villa, Fujima asked, "What are you talking about?" "It's nothing." Shunsuke said, "Talk about Zhang Taihe's cram school. After all, this is the first time the teacher and I have met." "Didn't you ask some unnatural topics?" "What's the unnatural topic?" "A topic that impresses the other party. Think about it from another angle. If the police ask Mr. Tsujiu for questioning, they can't leave him with a strange impression..." Before Fujima finished speaking, Shunsuke waved his hand in front of him to stop him and said, "It's just gossip, what would happen otherwise? Could it be that I will tell him something that is not good for us?" Before Fujima could speak, Shunsuke had already stepped away. (Fives) The clouds that floated slightly in the sky in the morning disappeared without a trace after noon.A total of thirteen people, including the parents and children of four families and the tutor of the cram school, walked to the barbeque ground by the Hime Kami Lake.Along the way, they bought ingredients and drinks from roadside shops, and rented barbecue equipment and other equipment. "Everyone eat as much as you can. Takuya, share the new plate with everyone. There is still a lot of meat!" Sakazaki stood guard in front of the barbecue plate.With a towel tied on his head, he would grab the lifted beer and pour it into his mouth from time to time, adding slices of meat and vegetables to roast at any time.Jin Jiujian stood aside to help him, while the women who were in charge of cleaning and seasoning the ingredients sat and concentrated on enjoying with the children.Fujima ran to the side and smoked a cigarette. Shunsuke sat on a wooden pier instead of a chair with a beer in his hand and looked at the lake.The sun was so strong that it was almost impossible to look directly at the water, so he wore dark glasses. Guan Gu came to him. "Shall I have some?" He held out a snack bag containing persimmon crunch. "Okay." Junsuke held out his hand to take it. Guan Gu lowered his voice and said, "I really don't have any appetite." He smiled slightly. "Is the same for Mr. Namiki? I've been watching you since just now, and you don't seem to touch meat very much." Junjie looked at the other person's face through the sunglasses, and immediately turned his gaze back to the lake.He took a sip of his beer, which was starting to get warm. "I'm sorry, I'm so rude." Yiguan Gu said, "Which area is it?" " "Aren't there two small boats together now? It's probably there." Shunsuke pointed to the front and said, "There are lovers on both boats, and one of them is a woman wearing a red shirt." "Well, I see it, I see it." "I think it should be around there, but I'm not sure. Because the sense of distance is completely different during the day and night, and it's also different from the angle you saw at that time." "Well, that's true." Guan Gu took out the binoculars, looked at it for a while, and said, "It's not something you can see clearly when you zoom in." One person put the binoculars aside as if talking to himself. "Mr. Guan Gu, do you sing karaoke?" "Karaoke? No, I don't sing very much, I just occasionally socialize, and I seldom sing recently. When I go with young people, I just follow suit, and there are fewer and fewer people of the same age. But if Mr. Namiki I want to go, I am willing to accompany you. So, there are several KTVs nearby. Who else might go..." When Guan Gu turned around and was about to call someone, Junsuke stopped him and said, "No, I'm not asking you out. I just want to know how everyone socializes?" "What's the meaning?" "Don't you guys often get together for the children's education? For example, you gather at Mr. Fujima's house or something." Shunsuke looked directly at Guan Gu's face. "Ah, to Mr. Fujima's house. Yes, sometimes, but not so often." After Guan Gu nodded, he shook his head and hands at the same time. "I was thinking about what else to do besides talking about the children when you get together? After all, it's my first time attending, so I don't know how to communicate with you, and I'm a little confused." "Oh, it turned out to be like this. I didn't do anything, just drink tea and chat." "Would you like to sing karaoke?" "I probably haven't sung it before." Guan Gu said while twisting his neck. "Really." Junjie nodded, looking at the lake again.The two small boats that were just ahead sailed in different directions. "By the way, Mr. Namiki." Sekiya leaned closer to Shunsuke's face, and said while paying attention to the movement behind him, "I understand your mood, but I think you should try to change your mood." Junsuke blinked, looked back at the other person's face and asked, "What do you mean?" "Lover...or should I say mistress, whatever you say, but the woman you liked is no longer alive, I think this is a big blow to you. I sympathize with you from the standpoint of being a man; but things It depends on what you think. I don't know how sincere Mr. Namiki is, but I think you have to break up with your mistress in the end. After all, people like Minako will not divorce you obediently. If things get serious, it will save face in society Problems are always troublesome. Instead of tearing your face and losing everything, maybe this result is better. And Mr. Namiki, good women will appear in the future. I don’t think it is absolutely impossible to have an affair, but I think it is the lubrication of life This kind of thing should not be too loud, so I said you should try to change your mood. After all, the important thing is your future life. You not only have a considerable social status, but also a family. Maybe you are planning to give up Your family, but you don’t want to make everyone fall into misfortune, right? Even for Zhang Tai, you have a certain degree of concern, right?” "Of course... what are you going to say?" "So..." Guan Gu said this and looked behind. "I know you still can't see some things, but now we must rely on everyone's strength to survive this difficulty. Isn't there a saying that's as firm as a rock? I think we have to do that." "Are you saying there's something I can't think of?" "No, I don't know what you're thinking. But you seem to be looking for people to ask questions, and you seem to have something you can't figure out." Guan Gu picked up a small stone at his feet and threw it into the lake. Going out caused a small ripple, which soon disappeared. Shunsuke turned his gaze into the distance.Fujima was watching them.When he met Junjie's eyes, he immediately averted his eyes, turned and left. "You all have a good relationship." Junjie said after crushing the empty jar. "What, why did you say that suddenly?" "On this trip, I felt it deeply. It's rare to see such a close group like you. Usually, each other always pulls each other's hind legs behind their backs, doesn't it?" "We get along just because we don't do that kind of thing." "Maybe..." Junsuke stared at Guan Gu's face. "Won't there be love?" "Huh?" Guan Gu opened his eyes wide and stepped back. At this time Zhang Tai came from behind.Shunsuke made a smiling face and asked, "What's wrong?" "Dad, you have a worm on your back." "Really? Catch it for me." "Well, don't move." Zhang Tai stood behind Junjie.Guan Gu took this opportunity to stand up and leave. "Have you caught it yet?" "No, it ran away." "What insect?" "Well, it's a big black bug. But it's not a black beetle either." "Could it be a cockroach?" "I don't think so." Seeing Zhang Tai who was about to leave, Shunsuke asked, "That painting..." "painting?" "It's the painting on the wall of the villa. Did you draw it after you came here?" "Ok." "When did you draw it?" "The day before yesterday. Everyone was drawing pictures the afternoon before yesterday." "The day before yesterday." "What's wrong?" "It's nothing. By the way, why don't you play with everyone?" Junjie looked around.I saw Haruki Sekiya sitting and playing with electric toys.Fuji asked Naoto to follow his mother, but he did not see Sakazaki Takuya. "At least during the playing time..." Zhang Tai said, "You don't need to be with them." Shunsuke looked at his son's face, and the son walked away with his head down. It seems that the barbecue lunch is probably over, and everyone is starting to clean up, and Shunsuke also joins in to help.Because Junko Sakazaki was also at the side, he asked her where Takuya was. "It seems that my husband took him fishing. I'm sorry, my husband is not helpful at all." "In any case, Mr. Sakazaki is already in charge of the barbecue, and it's our job to deal with the aftermath." Guan Gu said with a smile. After cleaning up, there is free time until dinner.Families take their own actions.Shunsuke saw Tsukumi and immediately approached him. "Teacher, would you like to trouble you with something?" "What's the matter?" "Can you borrow the key to my wooden villa? I didn't go to help yesterday, and I'm afraid I won't have a chance to visit it." "Yes, it's Mr. Fujima's turn to be on duty tonight." Tsujiu said "Okay" and took out the key from his pocket. "Husband." After Tsujiu saw that she left, Minako came to Shunsuke and asked, "What are you going to do next?" "I'm going to a place. You and Mrs. Zhang can do whatever you like." "where are you going?" "Why do you ask so many questions?" Shunjie started to walk forward. Minako quickly chased after him, and whispered beside him, "But Mr. Fujima said it's better not to act individually. In case the police ask about today's actions later, the less unnatural actions the better." "I didn't do anything unnatural. But can you leave Zhang Tai alone?" Minako yelled "Ah", and quickly turned her head to look, then just stood there without moving. Junjie didn't stop and continued walking, he looked at the lake again.The reflection of the luminosity on the water surface weakened a lot, so he took off his sunglasses. Guan Gu's family walked into the souvenir shop by the lake.Seeing her husband standing in front of the shelf where the key rings were displayed, Sekiguchi Yasuko came to him. "Where's Sunshine?" he asked. "Playing video games in the store." Guan Gu sighed and said, "Why does he always play video games?" "But it's a bit weird. Anyway, it's a bit like playing like that... Even just now, after eating barbecue, I have been playing with portable electric toys. It seems to be possessed by evil spirits." "He likes it." "But it's not like this usually. And this morning, it looks a little weird." "What kind of weird method?" "I can't tell." "Isn't that just nonsense, I don't know." When Guan Gu was frowning, Qingshu walked in.The two coughed at the same time. "Qingshu, do you want to buy some gifts? Should I give them to my classmates?" Qingshu shook his head and said: "No, there is nothing good." "Really? What do you think of this? When you shake it, it will make the sound of insects." Guan Gu shook the key ring in his hand, but Qingshu didn't even want to look at it. "Is it really possible to stop studying today?" "Yeah, because it's the last night, you can take it easy. You can also come to mother's room." Haruki didn't answer.Guan Gu and his wife glanced at each other, then quickly averted their eyes. The gentleman sat on the bench and raised his eyes to watch her husband bring his son back. "How about it?" "No gains. Probably the time is wrong, it's obviously a place where fish come and go." Sakazaki stood the fishing rod on the nearby tree and sat next to Junzi.Takuya was sorting things not far away.Fishing gear is also rented. "Takuya, are you feeling better?" Junzi asked his son's back. The son didn't stop, just tilted his head slightly and thought for a while. "What, what does that mean?" But Takuya remained silent, and did not intend to look back at his mother. "Because there is no harvest, I'm in a bad mood." Sakazaki said. "It doesn't matter if you don't catch it. Even if you go fishing early in the morning, there are times when you can't catch it. Isn't it nice to be able to relax like this?" "do not talk." "But……" After tidying up, Takuya stood up and faced his mother. "I'm not in a bad mood." Takuya said with a smile on his face. "yes?" "I'm just a little tired because I've been studying all the time." "It's hard work, but it doesn't have to be so hard." "But..." Takuya carried the fishing rod on his shoulder. "Isn't it great if you don't get into middle school?" "what……" Taku also walked away.The gentleman looked at his back, and then at her husband.The husband shrugged his shoulders. Naoto drank a little ice cream soda and started eating cake again.His mouth was covered with cream. The Fujima family is sitting on the second floor of this cafe next to the main road. From this position, you can see Lake Jigami from a whole window.Fujima ordered coffee, while Yizhi drank milk tea. "How is it? The results of the class are not bad." When Fujima asked, Naoto quickly put down his fork and put his hands on his lap.Fujima couldn't help but smile bitterly. "You can eat while you're at it. I'm not going to lecture you." "Now is the time for you to do what you like." Kazeda said with a smile. Seeing Naoto start to eat the cake with a reassuring expression, Fujima said, "Then what happened?" "Can't you ask me later?" Kazuki said. "It's okay." Naoto said and picked up a strawberry with a fork. "Anyway, it's not only a place, but the teacher will teach after seeing it for a long time." "That's right. Naoto, what do you want to do after entering middle school? Do you want to play sports or travel? Or do you want to have fun?" "Hmm..." Naoto stuffed the strawberry into his mouth. "But even if you are admitted to middle school, shouldn't you not play around casually? Dad said it before." Fujima and his wife looked at each other. "Did I say that?" he said to his son. "Well. Dad said that the difference between those who can read and those who can't is that when everyone relaxes, whether he relaxes with him or works harder. So even if you are admitted to middle school, you must continue to study hard and constantly improve yourself The results will do." Fujima didn't answer immediately, but picked up the coffee cup with a smile on his face, took two sips of coffee, and put the cup back on the plate. "That's right." He said, "You must not be careless. Then you should continue to maintain your current efforts. Of course, it would be the best if you can do so." After eating the cake, Naoto swirled the ice cream soda with a straw.Yizhi stared at his son with a disturbed expression, while Fujima nodded slightly at her. (six) When he arrived at the rented villa, Shunsuke inserted the key that Tsukumi had lent him into the keyhole.There is a shoe cabinet next to the entrance, and there are only two slippers in it.Like Fujima's villa, there is also a door inside. After opening, there is a living room with a size of five square meters, with two foldable tables and four chairs.There are also two chairs by the wall.On the opposite wall is a whiteboard. Shunsuke turned on the light in the room, looked around the room, and found a sliding door. When he opened it, it turned out to be a Japanese room with a size of two and a half square meters.It was empty. After five minutes of inspection, he turned off the light and went out. When he came to the middle of the corridor, he found a staircase and climbed up.There is a door in the middle of the first and second floors. When you open it, you can see that there is a room with a size of one and a half square meters. There is a single bed in the corner.There was a large bag for skiing beside the bed, with reference books, notebooks and other things exposed from the pocket.Shunsuke turned on the light and checked the floor carefully before turning off the light and the door. Then continue to go upstairs and come to a space of two square meters, with railings for hand-holding on one side and a high ceiling in front of you. On the other side were two doors juxtaposed, both with brass knobs that were almost antique.One of the doors had a toilet sign on it, and he pushed open the other door. There are two double beds with bunk beds, each leaning against the walls on both sides.Each bed has a curtain, which is now tightly closed. Shunsuke opened the curtain of the lower bed on the right.There are lamps and reference books beside the pillow, and neatly folded blue pajamas are placed on top of the blanket. "Husband." Junjie called out from behind. He turned around and saw Minako standing there in a white T-shirt and jeans, and wearing the hat she wore at the barbecue at noon. "what are you doing?" "Minako, why are you here?" "I asked you first." Shunsuke closed the door of the children's room and faced his wife again. "Did Jin Jiu see the teacher who told you that I came here? So he should have told you the reason why I borrowed the key. I didn't come here for duty yesterday, so I will come to see the place where Mrs. Zhang is studying before I go back. But it is That's all." Minako picked up her chin and said with a pointed look in her eyes, "It shouldn't be like this?" "why?" "Aren't you going to abandon us so that you can choose her? If so, why do you care about Zhang Tailai?" Shunsuke scratched his temples, walked past Minako, looked down on the first floor, put his hands behind his back and said, "Why do you care about me? You shouldn't care what I do. Miriko's body has been disposed of, The concealment of the incident is also going smoothly. Fujima and the others plan to end this trip as if nothing happened. I have done what I should do. I have not disturbed anyone, what else do you have to say?" "But you are the only one acting weird. You actually came here secretly." "I want to ask you, what's wrong with this?" "I hope you cooperate with everyone." She lowered her head after speaking. "I also know how you don't want to help me." Shunsuke sat on the floor.There's a bunch of reference books and profiles and stuff in the corner.He picked up the top brochure, on the cover was printed "School Profile Xiuwenguan Middle School". "What is Zhang Tai doing?" "In the villa over there, it seems to be doing something with wood." "Work. Is he alone?" "Tsin Jiu sees the teacher accompanying him." "Yeah." He leaned against the wall. "Looking at the relationship between you, I really find it incredible. The relationship between the parents is abnormally good, so united. But the children are not like that. After coming here, they can finally play freely. It's normal for individuals to fight together. But after the barbecue, the four children acted independently, as if they were strangers. What's going on?" "What do you want to say?" "I just felt unnatural." "Children may not all play together harmoniously when they are together. It is difficult for children to deal with at this age." "Really, I don't understand. After all, I don't have a biological child." "I know you don't love Zhang Tai at all." "I thought I had my own ideas about him." "You don't even want to call Zhang Tai, but use 'he' instead." Minako sighed. He flipped through the pamphlet in his hand. "How is the relationship between Guan Gu and Fujima?" "What?" Her eyes widened. "Yesterday, when I came back from the outside, I saw Guan Gu and Fujima's wife having a heated fight in the yard. I thought this would be good, so I went in through the gate, only to find that Guan Gu's wife and Fujima were also in the living room. And Sakazaki. In other words, they both have a partner, but it’s no wonder why I feel incredible, and I don’t understand what’s going on.” "Maybe it was just a joke." "Anyway, I'm a mature man. I'll know if I'm joking or serious." Minako crossed her hands in front of her chest, leaned against the wall behind, bit her lip, and frowned.Shunsuke looked up at such a wife from below. "I don't know." Her tone was monotonous and dull, "I can't talk about other people's affairs." "Mrs. Sakazaki said that they are abnormal. I finally understand what it means." Because Minako looked at him, he looked back, and continued: "But she also said that Minako should be fine." "I heard not only what are you talking about?" "They are not only together because of their sons' admission to higher education. I wonder if there is any physical relationship between them?" Minako's chest rose and fell violently, and her throat slid from swallowing saliva. "I should go back." She walked towards the stairs. "Minako." Shunsuke's call made her stop, but she didn't look back. "Did you really kill Miriko?" Minako just turned her head slightly, but she still didn't turn her head to meet Shunsuke's gaze. "Didn't you see it?" "All I saw was her body." "Then..." "What I want to ask is..." He took a deep breath before saying, "Did you really kill Li Zi?" Minako stepped on the stairs without moving.After a few seconds, she went down another flight of stairs. "Why do you just say strange things? You say I didn't kill it, so who is it?" "I don't know, I'm still thinking." "I killed it." She finally looked at Junjie. "I killed the woman you loved so much. Maybe you don't want to believe it, but that's the truth. So it doesn't matter how much you hate me." When Shunsuke was about to speak, Minako had already walked down the stairs. After hearing the sound of her walking out of the door, Shunsuke still sat on the floor.He rubbed his cheeks, put his hands through his hair and scratched it, and then stood up. He still had the booklet in his hand and flipped through a few more pages before putting it back in its place.There are photos of the main entrance of Xiuwenguan Middle School, photos of classrooms and various equipment, followed by the headshot of the principal, followed by the headshots of the school staff side by side. Shunsuke stopped turning the pages, his eyes stayed on the photos of the school staff. He dug into his trousers pocket, and what he managed to pull out was the stack of photos he got in Milezi's room.He sat cross-legged on the floor again, looking at the photos one by one. He took out a photo, which showed Tsukumi meeting a man and woman in a restaurant.He put the pamphlet on it and carefully compared the two. (seven) At six o'clock in the evening, dinner will start again as usual.Tonight's dishes are pizza and salad, which seem to be delivered by a nearby store.It was probably because the female relatives who walked around during the day were tired, and there was a fireworks display after the meal. Of course, the easier the cleaning after the meal, the better, so it was decided. The atmosphere of the dinner was very deserted.Both adults and children ate pizza in silence, almost no one laughed, and even some conversations were lowered. "What's the matter, everyone. It seems that you have no energy? After three days, are you tired?" Fujima's tone was very clear. But no one responded to him.Only Guan Gu looked at everyone with a smile. "The rest of the night and tomorrow, and then I can go home safely. Let's enjoy the summer night in the summer resort tonight!" Fujima's summary words also did not arouse everyone's interest. After dinner, a fireworks display was held according to the plan, but because it is not allowed to set off fireworks near the building according to the regulations, everyone walked to the open space next to the management office. Seeing Junjie playing fairy sticks, Zhang Tai came over. "Dad, can you lend me the car keys?" "Okay, what are you going to do?" "I want to get some stuff from the car." "Okay, I see." Junjie took out the key from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Zhang. He said "thank you" and left. After all the fireworks were played, everyone cleaned up the ground together before embarking on the way back to the villa.Each family formed a group and walked on the dark road. Only Shunsuke walked at the end alone, while Minako and Akita walked at the front. 大家先回到别墅,然后依往例由津久见戴着孩子们回租来的别墅。这天晚上负责当班的是藤间。 “那么各位请好好享受最后的夜晚。我到那边和津久见老师下棋了。”藤间在大门口挥手告别,孩子们已经先到外面了。 “请等一下。”俊介上前一步制止。 其它人都看着他,除了藤间以外没有人脸上有笑容。美菜子眼光严肃地注视着丈夫。 “藤间先生和津久见老师能否等一下再过去那里呢?我有重要的事要说。” 藤间的脸上失去了笑容。 “一定得现在说不可吗?” “是的,应该说十分紧急吧。” “原来如此。”藤间转头看了站在旁边的津久见一眼。“那可以先让孩子们回去吗?” “好的,我先把钥匙交给他们。” 津久见出去了。 “地点在哪里呢?”藤间问俊介。 “哪里都可以。客厅也行,在我们的房间也行。不过还是在放过英里子尸体的房间最好吧?” 藤间的嘴角扭曲了,他就这副表情抬抬下巴示意说:“那就在客厅吧。” 津久见回来了。“我已经跟孩子们说了,叫他们先回去。” “请将门锁好。”俊介说,“万一被孩子们听到这件事可不太好。” 津久见的嘴唇动了一下,结果还是一语不发说地将大门给上了锁。 所有大人都在客厅里集合。围着桌子坐的是藤间夫妻和关谷夫妻,津久见坐在一旁。吧台前坐的是坂崎夫妻,美菜子则是坐在窗边的椅子上。 “那就开始吧。”俊介站着环视大家。“我说有重要的事要说,但说话的人不是我,而是各位。我想听听各位怎么说。” “你说的是什么事呢?”关谷笑着问。 “当然是两天前发生的那个事件啰。” “那件事有什么好说的?”藤间问。 “真相呀。”俊介说,“我要你们说出那一晚真正发生什么事?不说的话,我是没办法跟你们站在同一阵线的。” "husband……" “妳闭嘴!”他不理会妻子,再度看着大家。 没有人出声说话,也没有人看着他。 “如果你们都不说的话……”俊介从口袋拿出了行动电话。“我就立刻打电话通知警方。告诉他们那一晚发生的事,说出我所知道的一切。”
