Cicadas of the Eighth Day 角田光代 917Words 2018-03-22
Kang Zhi's home was not surrounded by the police.Kang Zhi and Mei Ji stood in front of the sunny entrance.As soon as he saw me, Kang Zhi scolded: "Where did you go? Really! I can't believe that the owner of the house was locked out!" Meiji also imitated: "I can't believe it!" february 7 In the afternoon, I handed Kaoru into the care of Kang Zhi, and went to the housing agency to return the keys.It was the young female staff who took care of it.I thought that there might be complaints about the big garbage, but the other party didn't say anything, and ended the procedure formally.

Then head to Kichijoji and have your hair cut at a beauty salon near the station.I didn't bother to answer the hairdresser who was constantly looking for topics, so I just buried myself in the weekly magazines and women's magazines. I can't believe how every page is a designer label.But just two short years ago, I was still staring at this kind of magazine with wide eyes, confirming the price, thinking about how to match it, and can't wait for the day when the salary is paid.That kind of self now seems like someone else. No matter what kind of fashion I see now, it's just as noisy as a Cindy Luper song being played loudly.

I then picked up the weekly magazine and flipped through it, stopping at a certain page.The title is "The Subsequent Development of Major Criminal Cases".The content includes the Shinjuku bus arson case five years ago, and the "Glico Morinaga Food Company" blackmail case that caused a sensation in the society last year, etc. It reports the follow-up development of the news in recent years. The line "Missing for a month/Osaka boy kidnapping case" came into view.The case where a newborn baby boy was taken away in a private hospital in Osaka is said to have happened two years ago.The suspects were an infertile couple who hid and raised the baby for a full month.

Reading too vigorously will make people suspicious, so I pretended to be reading the above torture and murder case, and only turned my eyes to read the article in the next paragraph.The baby's parents refused to be interviewed on the grounds of "please let us live in peace." According to people around them, the baby grew up healthy and ignorant, and it is common for a family of three to walk on the road during holidays.The hairdresser was about to take off the cape, so I hurriedly closed the magazine. When paying, I tried my best not to shake the hand holding the money, but my hand kept shaking, and the change I got was scattered all over the ground at my feet.

I got on the train without even checking what hairstyle I changed.I felt my neck was cool, and I touched it with my hand, only to find that the hairdresser seemed to have cut me a fashionable hairstyle, pushing the back of my head up to reveal the roots of my hair. As soon as I went back to Kangzhi, he touched the back of my head and laughed.For a moment, Kaoru didn't seem to recognize who I was with the short hair, and she burst into tears as soon as I hugged her. My behavior is no different from what a certain couple did a few years ago, I thought to myself while coaxing Xun.Actually, it's different, it's not like this.Someone, let's say a god, must understand.I'm not stealing babies from hospitals.it's not like that.I thought so in my heart, but the other me kept murmuring: What's the difference?Obviously the same; what is different?Obviously a crime.
