dying eye 东野圭吾 1922Words 2018-03-22
On Monday, the fifth day after being discharged from the hospital, Shinsuke went back to work.He hoped that there would not be too many guests on the first day of work, but a large group of guests appeared, leaving him almost no time to rest.Although mother Sang Qianduzi sympathizes with Shinsuke, but the business in the store is booming, she can't be unhappy. When several groups of customers left the store and Shinsuke finally breathed a sigh of relief, Koichi Ejima from "Sirius" appeared.It's a rare thing. "I heard that you started coming back to work today, so I'm here to encourage you." Jiang Dao sat down at the bar.He had a strong, broad-shouldered physique that matched the brown shirt he wore.

"make you worry." "It's nothing." Jiang Dao leaned out slightly, "I heard that you have memory impairment?" Shinsuke thinks that Chitoko should have told Jiang Dao about this.Of course, he didn't tell Qian Duzi about his memory loss.So maybe Chengmei told Qian Duzi.Shinsuke thought to himself that women are so tongue-in-cheek. "It's just that some memory fragments are missing." Shinsuke believes that Jiang Dao's purpose is actually to talk about this matter. "What is it that you forgot?" "Well, it's the accident before, the car accident that happened earlier."

"Is that so..." Ejima stared at Shinsuke, "Have you completely forgotten?" "I only remember part of it. Things like the discussion with the insurance company after the car accident, the police taking notes on me, etc. But once I try to recall the most critical part, which is the situation at the time of the car accident, what's in my mind As if covered with a thin layer of mist, the relevant memories became ambiguous, and fragments of various scenes emerged like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, but they could not be put together completely." "It's really annoying. You should feel very anxious."

"I was so agitated that I almost wanted to dig my brain out." Shinsuke's joke made Ejima laugh out loud.After laughing he took a sip of lime vodka. "But that's not bad. For you, that car accident was an unpleasant thing. It's best to forget this kind of memory as soon as you can. Unlike a broken love, this kind of memory can never be beautiful. If Isn't it a very lucky thing that this kind of memory can disappear completely?" Jiang Dao said.His smiling face changed to serious. "I think so too, but I always feel that something is not right. There are also many situations that I can't figure out."

"What are some things you can't figure out?" "There are many. For example, why did I drive so fast on that road? Why did I notice someone riding a bicycle in front of me, but I still crashed into it?" After hearing what Shinsuke said, Ejima was a little surprised. "You said you noticed someone riding a bicycle?" "yes." "Do you have this impression? In other words, do you have a memory fragment of seeing a bicycle?" "Well, in my memory, I saw the back of a woman riding a bicycle unsteadily on the night road." "Hmm..." Ejima frowned, and his eyes fell on the wine cabinet behind Shinsuke, who was drinking.After a while, his eyes returned to Shinsuke. "From the situation at the time of the accident, it seems that the speed of the car was simply too fast. But there is such a thing, have you seen the other party riding a bicycle? However, if the speed of the car is too fast, it is also possible that when you confirm that there is someone in front of you At that time, it was too late to get out of the way, right? This should be the case with you, right?"

After hearing Ejima's explanation, Shinsuke still couldn't let go.Since he witnessed a friend in a car accident, he has been very cautious in driving since then.So why was he so careless that night? "I want to go to the police station to find the policeman in charge of the car accident and ask about the situation at that time." As soon as Shinsuke finished speaking, Ejima frowned and waved his hand. "Don't do such boring things. Deliberately recalling the situation at the time of the car accident will not do you any good. Compared with this kind of thing, you should have many other things to consider? For example, your future Category?"

"future?" "When are you going to open your own shop? Didn't you mention that?" "Ah, it would be great if you can open your own shop." "What are you talking about? You're so leisurely." Jiang Dao tilted his wine glass and smiled wryly. future-- Shinsuke realized that he hadn't thought about this question for a long time.Since this incident, he has never thought about the future.In the past, he should have thought about this question more frequently.He even thought about the time to find a store, and set a budget, figuring out how much turnover the store would need to sustain.

Budget? Shinsuke's heart seemed to be pulled by something.But he couldn't figure it out.So he decided to think more deeply about the budget.How much savings do I currently have, and how much should I borrow from the bank—— Shinsuke's mind was in a mess again, he couldn't remember how much money he had, how much money was left in the bank?Do you have a fixed deposit? "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Dao called him. "It's nothing, I'm fine." Shinsuke shook his head, and then began to wipe the washed glass.However, a bunch of doubts gradually expanded in his mind like a dark cloud.

At this moment, the entrance door opened silently.Shinsuke looked over reflexively.It's almost twelve o'clock now.Several faces of regular customers who might appear at this time appeared in his mind. The person who opened the door and entered was not who he expected.Shinsuke didn't know that person at all.Mama-san, the girls, the guests, and Enoshima all fell silent when they saw this person. This guest, whom Shinsuke had never met before, was a woman who looked less than thirty years old.She has pretty short hair and may have just attended a funeral. She is still wearing a black velvet dress and black lace gloves on her hands.

As soon as the woman stepped into the store, she walked towards the corner of the bar without looking around the store first, as if she had made a decision from the beginning.There was silence until she sat on the high chair. "Welcome!" Shinsuke said to her. "What do you want?" The woman slowly raised her head and stared at Shinsuke.For a split second, he felt some kind of emotion explode inside him. Shinsuke has an intuition - I'm in love with this woman.
