Chapter 5 4

The doctor stared directly at a document, his light eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he didn't speak for a while.Shinsuke was particularly concerned about the way the doctor frowned.He wanted to guess the result by the doctor's expression, but the light of the fluorescent lamp was reflected on the lenses of the doctor's metal-rimmed glasses, so Shinsuke couldn't see the doctor's eyes. Soon, the doctor put the documents on the table, and scratched his head with a little white hair. "You don't have a headache anymore, do you?" "Yes, it doesn't hurt at all."

"Only judging from the results of the inspection, there is no abnormality at present, and there is basically nothing to worry about." "So, about my memory..." "Well," the doctor tilted his head slightly. "Your brain has not been damaged. Is it possible to suffer a mental blow? Most people have memory impairment, and this is usually the reason." "Will it be cured after a while?" "I can't guarantee that." The doctor folded his arms. "Don't think too much, just go on with your normal life. Even if you lose your memory, it's only a small part, right?"

"That's right." The only memory he lost was the car accident he caused a year ago.Although he may have lost other parts of his memory as well, for Shinsuke now, the most important memory is that car accident. "Maybe you can ask the people around you to get information related to that matter. Anyway, it will not affect your daily life for the time being. In short, you should relax your mind. Maybe there will be unexpected opportunities, Let you find your lost memory." "I see." After Shinsuke left the consulting room of the brain surgery department, he walked back to the ward.He has been in the hospital for a week.Although there is still a bandage on the head.There is no inconvenience in the movement of the body, and it does not seem to cause worrying sequelae.

Shinsuke returned to the ward and saw Chengmei put a big bag on the bed and was packing his things. "what did the doctor say?" "He said it's nothing serious. It's just that it's best not to do strenuous exercise for the time being." "That means you can be discharged from the hospital on the scheduled date." "Ok." "Great!" Cheng Mei moved her hand that had stopped. "Xiao Shen, hurry up and change into your clothes." "Too." Chengmi has already prepared the clothes that Shinsuke will wear after being discharged from the hospital.The striped shirt and light brown slacks were neatly folded and placed on the folding chair.

Shinsuke walked towards the window while unbuttoning his pajamas.The ward was on the third floor, and he looked down at the road in front of the hospital.On the other side of the road with two-lane lanes, trucks piled up with dirt and rocks, dirty white box cars, and taxis with lantern-shaped light boxes on their roofs were waiting for a red light. car? - The criminal who attacked Shinsuke is almost certain to be Reiji Kishinaka.After investigating the room in Kishi, the investigators found a bloody monkey wrench from the inner pocket of Kishi's jacket.The blood on it is exactly the same as Shinsuke's.In addition, Kishinaka's fingerprints were also found on the wrench.

There is no doubt that he committed suicide.After confirmation, it was his handwriting that was left on the suicide note.Before his death, he also notified the newspaper to suspend delivery.According to the confession of the female clerk of the newspaper store who answered the phone, Kishinaka said that she was going to travel for a while, so she asked to stop delivering newspapers. Shinsuke heard the above things from Detective Kotsuka of the Nishi Azabu City Police Department.When Otsuka stopped by the hospital to complete the documents, he explained the details to Shinsuke.The case of Shinsuke's attack was resolved, and there was nothing suspicious about Kishinaka's suicide. Kozuka spoke in a calm and unhurried manner.

When Shinsuke asked if the motivation was revenge, Kozuka nodded repeatedly. "It should be revenge. According to the current investigation results, Kishizhong loves his wife deeply. Since his wife passed away, he has become distraught. According to Kishizhong's colleagues, he used to be a very cheerful person. , the popularity is also very good, but after that incident, he became a depressed and silent man. I heard that he hadn't spoken to anyone for several days. Some old colleagues even said privately that Kishizhong gave people It felt terrible." "He should hate me."

Otsuka did not deny what Shinsuke said. "According to people close to him, after his wife passed away, he blurted out that he wanted to kill you, and that he would do anything for revenge." "Does he want to kill me...?" Those words sank deep into Shinsuke's heart. "It's just..." the policeman added, "someone said that he seems to have become more energetic in the past two or three months, and occasionally even looked cheerful. That person thought that the gloom had come out of the bank." "Didn't come out at all?" "That's right. Compared with when it looks really painful on the outside, on the contrary, when others seem to be full of vigor, the sadness that exists inside the person is deeper. This is the so-called human being." The detective stared at Shinsuke and said. This kind of literary line that does not match the identity of the criminal police, "The question is, why did he decide to take revenge today, more than a year after the car accident? This is still incomprehensible. Maybe he has been suppressing his emotions. , I couldn't bear it and finally broke out, but there should be some opportunity."

"For example, the first anniversary of his wife's death has passed." Shinsuke tried to express the thoughts that came to his mind. "Also a possibility." "Did he commit suicide because he thought he had succeeded in revenge?" "It should be. According to the results of the forensic autopsy, the time when Reiji Kishizhong attempted suicide happened to be the night when he attacked you. He saw blood on your head, and he was convinced that his wish was fulfilled, so he took poison." "Maybe he will change his mind the next evening." Shen Jie said.The incident of his attack was slightly published in the evening paper the next day. "If he knew that I was still alive, he should be regretting it in that world."

"When a person dies, everything is over. There is nothing to regret." The policeman said in a cold tone. When Shinsuke was thinking about his conversation with Otsuka, Narumi's voice sounded behind him. "Xiao Shen, if you don't change your clothes quickly, you will catch a cold." Shinsuke turned his head and saw Chengmei standing with her hands on her hips. "What are you in a daze for?" "No, nothing." Shinsuke unbuttoned all the buttons of the pajamas and took off the pajamas. After paying the hospitalization fee, the two left the hospital.The timing was just right, when an empty taxi passed by, Cheng Mei raised her hand to stop the taxi.

"Go to Monzennakacho," she said. "Is it okay to take Yongdaitong?" The middle-aged driver asked while starting the car. Cheng Mei answered yes. After driving for a while, the driver asked, "Is your injury due to a traffic accident?" The driver looked at the bandage on Shinsuke's head through the rearview mirror. "That's right!" Shinsuke said, "...was hit by a car while riding a bicycle." "Hey, it's really unlucky. Is the wound stitched?" "Ten stitches." "Wow!" The driver shook his head, "A traffic accident is the most unworthy. People who were alive and kicking suddenly went to that world. If it is sick, at least I and the people around me can be mentally prepared , only accidents can’t be predicted in advance. Especially car accidents, even if I am a very cautious person, if the other party insists on bumping into me, I can’t dodge it if I want to. However, I can’t stay at home all the time. It's scary. But it's weird for a taxi driver to say something like that." This man talks a lot.It's just a topic for chatting, Cheng Mei still looks worried, and glances at Shinsuke from time to time.After a while, the driver changed the topic to complaining about the government's policies.Cheng Mei thought that this topic was better than discussing the car accident, so she cooperated with the driver to echo a few words. Shinsuke looked out the window, staring at the criss-crossing traffic on the road.What the driver said didn't affect him too much.When he heard the words "traffic accident", he didn't have any real feelings, but felt confused. Shinsuke's mind flashed the scene before he was attacked.Kishinaka entered the store before closing time, drinking Irish cream whiskey and talking in a low voice. Actually, there is one thing I want to forget.I want to forget that incident, and I will never forget it, but I want to free myself from it... Shinsuke recalls Kishinaka curling his back and muttering to himself.When I first listened to it, I thought he was just expressing his depressed mood.Looking back now, those words were clearly aimed at Shinsuke.What he wanted to forget was definitely the death of his wife in a car accident. In order to free himself, he decided to avenge his wife. The taxi drove into Yongdaitong.Pass Tokyo Station and walk through the business district lined with tall buildings.Soon you can see a bridge in front of you, that is Edai Bridge across the Sumida River. "Mr. Driver, sorry, we want to change the destination. Do you know Kiyosumi Garden?" Shinsuke said.Cheng Mei beside her was taken aback, she was dumbfounded. "Kyosumi Garden? You know, you know..." the driver stammered.Obviously, I couldn't think of the correct location for a while. "It doesn't matter, I will lead the way. In short, first pass Yongdai Bridge, and then go directly to the left. Yes, go directly to the small road on the left." Chengmei has been staring at Shinsuke, but Shinsuke deliberately ignores Chengmei's sight. They got off the taxi beside Kiyosumi Garden.Scattered figures of housewives and children can be seen in the garden.The buds of the cherry blossoms are expanding, and in about two weeks, there will be a large group of tourists to enjoy the flowers every holiday. However, Shinsuke's footsteps did not go to the garden, he walked along the road. "Xiao Shen, wait a minute." Cheng Mei chased after her. "where are you going?" "No particular destination, I just want to take a walk around here." Shinsuke said after looking around.The spring sunlight reflected on the concrete pavement, which was very dazzling, and he subconsciously squinted his eyes. "Why?" Cheng Mei asked.What is hidden in her voice is not anxiety, but an emotion close to anger. "The place where my car accident happened is near here. That's why I want to go around here." "Why?" Cheng Mei's eyes turned fierce. "Why do you have to do such a thing?" Shinsuke put his hands in his pockets and shrugged. "I was thinking, if I come here for a walk, maybe I will remember something." "The scene of the car accident?" "yes." Cheng Mei sighed deeply and shook her head. "Isn't it good that you can't remember it? You don't have to force yourself to remember such a bad thing." "No, only a certain part of the memory has disappeared completely, and this feeling is even more terrifying. If you don't want to follow me, then go home first. You should go back to the store to get ready, right?" Shinsuke looked at watch.It's a little past four o'clock now.It's about time for Chengmei to take a shower, put on makeup and go to work. "Leave Xiao Shen here alone, and then go back by yourself. I can't do this. If you accidentally have an accident, you may be seriously injured, and you may die in the end." "I'm fine. Ah, that's right. I'm sorry to ask you to carry the luggage. Let me do it." Shinsuke held out his hand to her. "It's okay, I'll get it." Cheng Mei hid the big bag with a change of clothes behind her. Shinsuke put his hands back into his pockets again, turned his back to her, and walked out again.Cheng Mei thought, how could she just give up like this?So silently followed behind him. The single-lane road winds its way north-south.There is a section of the road that crosses the creek, and the terrain is higher than other places.In other words, the road surface curves up and down and left and right.Once it gets dark, the visibility will of course also get worse.Shinsuke had driven past here several times, but never felt it was dangerous.He wondered if he was being too careless. There is a traffic light ahead.The single-lane road is directly connected with the expressway interchange to form a crossroad. Maybe it was because the traffic signal turned green, and in order to quickly turn into the intersection, maybe he pressed the accelerator a little bit to speed up—such a thought suddenly appeared in Shinsuke's mind.He immediately remembered that this was what he had said. When was it said to whom?The target should be the police.So is it time to search for evidence on the spot?Or at the police station when taking notes? Shinsuke shook his head.He couldn't recall anything. Going further, a building that looks like a warehouse appears on the left.He stopped when he saw the gray walls of the building. He knew it was here.The car accident happened right in front of this building.The woman named "mei cai hui" in Kishi was caught between the gray wall and the bumper of the car. In Shinsuke's mind, a vague image of a woman riding a bicycle appeared.He drove the car and approached from behind the woman, and then heard wailing, crashing, and blood spattering—— Why? Although the image of the female stepping on the bicycle is hazy, it truly exists in his memory.In other words, Shinsuke knew that someone was riding a bicycle in front of him, but he didn't avoid it.Why is this so? Are you in a hurry?And for what reason are you in a hurry? Shinsuke put his hands on his temples.The headache that should have been cured came back again, and he couldn't help frowning. "Xiao Shen!" When Shinsuke realized that Narumi was calling his name, his body was leaning against Narumi.He saw Chengmei's handbag on the road, probably thrown out by her in a panic. "Are you okay?" She looked up at Shinsuke's face from below. "I'm fine, just a little tired." "Don't force yourself." "You wait here for a while." After Cheng Mei finished speaking, she ran out in a hurry. After she ran to the intersection, she immediately raised a hand vigorously.It seems to want to hail a taxi. There is a road from Kasai Bridge Road, and the building where Shinsuke and Narumi live is built facing that road.It takes more than ten minutes to walk from the building to the subway station, and you will pass Tomioka Hachiman Shrine on the way.The house they live in is 1LDK, 50 square meters, and the rent is 130,000 yuan, which can be said to be an unprecedented low price in this area.But if you see the Metropolitan Expressway passing directly above the building, you can understand why the rent is so cheap. Shinsuke opened the door and walked into the house first, he immediately noticed that something was wrong inside the house.First of all, the furnishings are different.What's more, the house was originally so messy that there was no place to step on it, but now every corner is neat and tidy. Shinsuke stepped into the house and looked around the house. "What's going on here? How did it become so clean?" "Doesn't it look like your own house?" "Yes." He nodded. "I don't recognize it at all." "It's all because Xiao Shen is not at home. In order to pass the boring time, people will change the furnishings in the house. It is really hard enough." "I think so." Not only cleaning, Chengmei is not good at all kinds of housework.She probably doesn't like doing housework either.Shinsuke couldn't imagine that she would endure boredom and tidy up the house so cleanly, even tidying up the bookshelves.Shinsuke would never throw away his favorite magazines, even if they expired, he would keep them all, but he was too lazy to put the magazines on the bookshelf one by one, so all the magazines were piled on the floor.It didn't take long before the magazines piled up like a mountain.There have even been five or six stacks of magazines before.However, apart from the ones on the bookshelf, there is not even a single magazine on the ground. Shinsuke explained that Chengmei did this for him.When Shinsuke comes home from the hospital, if the house is messy, he will not be able to calm down.Perhaps Cheng Mei had this kind of thinking in mind, and that's why she tried her best to clean it.Thinking of this, Shinsuke felt that he fell in love with Chengmei even more. Shinsuke sat on the loveseat by the floor-to-ceiling windows, and although the carpet under the glass table was cheap, it was replaced with a new one. There is a round white pottery ashtray on the table, and there are unopened SALEM cool cigarettes and a disposable lighter on the ashtray. "You are so sweet." He said to Cheng Mei. "Xiao Shen was able to quit smoking for more than a week." She said with a smile. "Since that's the case, why don't you just quit like this? Many people quit smoking successfully because they were hospitalized." "It's because you want to quit, that's why you say that." Shinsuke reached out to the cigarette, slowly unpacked it, and took one out of the pack.When he lit the fire with a cigarette in his mouth, his fingertips trembled a little. He exhaled white smoke in the brand new house. "It's refreshing." "I'm going to take a shower." Cheng Mei lifted up her clothes. Shinsuke watched Narumi's gradually revealing skin while smoking Salem cool cigarette.Chengmei noticed Shinsuke's gaze when she was halfway off, saying "I hate it, why are you staring at him lewdly!", and threw the socks on her hand towards Shinsuke. Shinsuke extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, got up and grabbed Narumi's arm as she walked to the bathroom.Cheng Mei was a little surprised, but did not resist, and handed over her body to him.Shinsuke hugged her exquisite body and stretched his hands to her breasts.Although Chengmei has a slender figure, her breasts can still be called plump.He felt the gradual swelling between his legs, and rubbed Chengmei's breasts with his right hand.The nipple in the palm gradually hardened.Narumi smiled coquettishly, and Shinsuke's lips pressed against Narumi's. Suddenly, a scene inadvertently awakened in Shinsuke's mind.A certain woman was standing in front of him wearing a shirt, but that woman was not Chengmei.Chengmei doesn't know how to wear a shirt.So, who is she? Shinsuke pushed Narumi away.Perhaps Shinsuke's actions were a bit rude, and she showed a surprised expression. "Ah, that's right! I'm taking Yuka home." "what?" "That night, I was taking Yuka home, and there was a car accident on the way back. Is that right?" Yuka is a hotel lady who often goes to "Sirius".That night, Yuka was so drunk that she was still kept awake at closing time.Shinsuke had no choice but to borrow a car from Edo to take Yuka home.She lives in Morishita, and she goes in the same direction as Shinsuke from Ginza. "Yes." Cheng Mei nodded, "Of course I didn't see it, Xiao Shen told me about it." "I remember myself saying that once." "Do you remember that car accident?" Cheng Mei looked up at him worriedly. "A little bit. But..." Shinsuke pressed the corners of his eyes, as if pinching the bridge of his nose with his index and middle fingers.He sat back on the sofa and began to feel a slight headache again, "I don't remember the specific circumstances of the car accident. Why did I drive so fast on that road? I saw a woman riding a bicycle, but I still hit it , Then I must be in a hurry to do something! Why was I so anxious at the time? I don’t understand all this.” "You really can't remember?" Cheng Mei asked. "Yeah." Shinsuke looked up at her, "Didn't I tell you why I was in such a hurry at that time?" "I remember you said that you wanted to go home quickly or something." "Will I drive so fast for that reason that I get into an accident?" "Well... I don't know either. I didn't ask more carefully. After all, I was full of how to reconcile with the other party at that time." Cheng Mei had her upper body bare and folded her arms.She had goose bumps on both arms. "You'll catch a cold like this, go take a shower." "Ah, good!" Cheng Mei rubbed her arm and hurried to the bathroom. Shinsuke took out a new cigarette from the cigarette case of Salem Liangyan, and lit it.At this time, his buttocks had completely returned to their usual state.
