Chapter 32 Chapter Fourteen

April 9.Monday.Afternoon, 17:19. Ye Xiao walked out of Ding Zi's ward, leaned against the corridor wall and took a deep breath.The narration of the senior high school girl just now did indeed make his heart beat violently at certain moments, as if returning to the bottom of the end of the world, facing a group of bloodthirsty and moving dummies, although it did not show on his face at all. A splitting headache.In addition to digging out the secrets from the hearts of the survivors, he also needs to retrieve some memories that only belong to him, but he can't remember...can't remember...opening his eyes again, he saw a few people walking out of a ward. The man, wearing a black suit, looks like a Japanese in appearance and temperament.Ye Xiao followed those people suspiciously until he was stopped by the police at the stairs.

As soon as Ye Xiao wanted to ask a question, the policeman on duty said, "Officer Ye, those are diplomats from the Japanese consulate, and they are here to visit the Japanese mother and son. They have made a request to the Chinese government—immediately lift the quarantine for Japanese citizens, Transfer them to the hospital designated by the Japanese side." "Isn't the quarantine result out yet?" "Well, but when it comes to diplomacy, it's not up to us to decide." "No matter what decision is made, you try to delay the time as much as possible, and you must not let the Japanese leave easily!"

The last survivors who have not been interrogated are Yoko Tamada and her seven-year-old son Shota.Although he was exhausted and really wanted to fall on the ground and sleep, Ye Xiao still tried his best to open the information——Tamada Yoko, thirty years old, born in Kobe, Japan.His surname is Matsukawa, and his father, Matsukawa Guzuki, is a famous Japanese mystery novelist.Seventeen years ago, Matsukawa Guyue and his wife were killed in the Kobe Earthquake, and only their daughter Yoko survived.In the following year, Matsukawa Furutsu's posthumous work "Hell Turned into a Murder Incident" was published. It was a great success and caused great controversy. Some fans even committed suicide after reading it.

Yoko studied Chinese at Kyoto University for two years, and then went to China to study for two years.At the age of 22, she married and became a housewife. Her husband, Eiji Tamada, who was five years older than her, came from a wealthy Japanese family and served as the general manager of a large Japanese company in China.After marriage, she lived with her husband in this city, and soon had a son Tamada Shota.Last March, Tamada and his wife returned to China to visit their relatives. It coincided with the great earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Yoko and Masata climbed onto the roof to escape.Soon, Yoko Tamada took her son back to China to settle down, earning a living by writing newspaper columns, and of course her husband left a rich legacy.

Ye Xiao has also read Matsukawa Guyue's works, which became popular in Japan twenty years ago, and many of them were adapted into movies and Japanese dramas.Now, he put on an anti-epidemic suit and walked into the ward of Yutian mother and son—maybe they will be picked up by the Japanese consulate tonight. This is an interrogation that is a race against time. There were two hospital beds in the room, and the seven-year-old had to be next to his mother. He was almost asleep, and suddenly looked up at the unexpected guest. "Who?" Yoko Yutian yelled nervously, hurriedly straightened her hair, and buttoned her jacket—Ye Xiao thought to herself, Japanese women are not as open as they imagined.

"Sorry, I'm Police Officer Ye Xiao, can I ask you a few questions?" "Oh, can you wait for me for a few minutes, please?" Ye Xiao didn't understand what it meant, although she was fluent in Chinese.Considering that the other party was female and not Chinese, he nodded friendly and left the room first.He waited anxiously outside the door for ten minutes. Any footsteps in the corridor would remind him of the people from the Japanese consulate—don't come to pick her up! When he opened the door again and entered, Yutian Yoko had already made the bed, was in a neat hospital gown, and her hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. She bowed ninety degrees to Ye Xiao: "You saved us! Thank you very much!"

She poured Ye Xiao a cup of warm water, and dragged out the sofa chair to invite him to sit down: "Sorry, there is no tea. When we are discharged from the hospital, we will definitely visit again." It was the first time for Ye Xiao to meet such a polite interrogation subject, and he was at a loss for words for a while and didn't know what to ask.He also noticed something special: it was only 5:30 in the afternoon, and it was still bright outside, but the curtains in this room were tightly closed.Other wards have only thin blue curtains, but the curtains here are dark black and extremely thick, blocking out all the light. If you don't turn on the light, you can hardly see your fingers.

He also noticed the seven-year-old boy's face, which was very handsome, with big and bright eyes, but his complexion was frighteningly white, without a trace of blood - among the piles of corpses he saw in the four underground hells, there were many undecomposed dead That's how it looks. The boy didn't dare to look Ye Xiao in the eyes, and hid behind his mother.Yoko Tamada scolded her son in Japanese, telling him to be polite in front of guests.She has fair skin, long eyeliner, a high nose bridge, and a good figure. She has the demeanor of a Japanese drama actress, but her cheeks are still bruised, and there are several bandages on her hands—presumably in the ruins of the movie theater passage, she used her body to cover Zhengtai. , As a result, her son was unharmed, but she suffered a lot of trauma.

Ye Xiao thought of a question: "Do you believe in the existence of ghosts?"
