Chapter 25 third chapter

Fortunately, there were no abnormalities in Sumino's house.Discarded toys are strewn across the carpet, exuding a peaceful, everyday vibe. Kurita sat at the table in the living room, and after taking a sip of the black tea made by Koharu, his originally high mood calmed down. Kurita and Aoi watched Satoshi innocently as he started playing with toys again. Xiaochun's mother-in-law fell on the way home from the Lantern Festival in September and broke her right foot, and she is currently hospitalized.Now only Xiaochun, her husband, and their children live here, so only Xiaochun and Cong are left at home during the day.

Xiaoharu sighed silently after sitting across from Kurita and sipping a sip of black tea. "Recently, there will be unknown people peeking at our house from outside." Kurita frowned and said, "...Is that the guy just now?" "Although I've only seen the back view, I shouldn't be wrong." Xiaochun put the tea cup back on the saucer, and continued: "That person appeared for the first time almost two months ago. My neighbor told me that when a suspicious man wearing a black wool cap was peeping at our house, I still With a dubious attitude..." Xiaochun lowered his voice and began to describe.

"I'm not lying, I'm not kidding, I did see it a couple of times after that. "Suspicious people always hide outside the cement brick wall and peep inside the house, and they will run away immediately when they find someone in the house. "He was always wearing a black beanie, a black jacket, trying to hide his identity. "That person looks suspicious at first glance, but I have never seen his face, so I can't guess who it is. I don't have a clue in my heart, so I feel even more creepy. "Besides, my son is still so young, it's really worrying..."

"Damn it... the law and order in Asakusa has also fallen." Kurita was extremely angry.As a man, Kurita felt uncomfortable when he saw a guy who would start with women or children. "Let me ask you, does that person also peek at other people's homes?" "It seems that he only peeps at our house. However, maybe he also peeks at other people's houses, but I haven't heard of any victimization in other people's houses." "That is to say—" If the opponent's target is only Xiaochun's family, he can deduce the motive.After all, there are other more powerful families nearby, so the other party doesn't seem to want to break free for money.

"...How is your husband doing?" "Huh? Why do you suddenly ask such a question?" Xiaochun blinked with a puzzled expression, and Kurita frowned and asked, "No, although you just said that you don't have any confidence in your heart...but even if you don't, it doesn't mean that your husband doesn't either. Has he acted suspiciously?" ?” "Oh, that's what you mean." Xiaochun didn't look up, but raised his eyes to look upwards, thinking. Kurita and Koharu's husband don't know each other at all.Kurita didn't go to the wedding, and she didn't see Haru's husband.He had heard that Xiaochun's husband worked in a car dealership, and the two of them only greeted each other a few times, but never had a deep conversation.

Koharu's husband had never been to Kurimaru-do for shopping, and Kurita also vaguely felt that the other party belonged to the type with whom he had no predestined relationship. "Well... I can't think of anything suspicious." Xiaochun shook his head with a puzzled expression. "Straight man...I mean my husband, he should be the same as usual. He's always the same man." "yes?" "The attitude towards this matter is the same. My husband said, I should have thought too much, or tourists are admiring the house, and they really don't have any sense of crisis."

"It does not make sense?" Kurita felt a burst of anxiety in his heart, thinking: "I should have just arrested that person." "However, I just fell in love with Naoto's thorny personality." "what?" Kurita couldn't help but blink.He didn't expect Xiaochun to show his affection in such a scene, and he couldn't help but feel discouraged. "Well... I appreciate this kind of big-hearted people..." Aoi said from the side.When Xiaochun heard the words, she nodded with a look that won my heart. "Have a vision. Compared with a guy with a small nose and small eyes who loves to play tricks, it is definitely better to have a person with a little wit but a cheerful personality. What's more, you have to live with each other for the rest of your life."

"I will remember what you said..." Kurita thought to himself: "A woman's heart is really unpredictable." He coughed lightly with a straight face and said, "Well, that's very good...Did you call the police? Xiaochun." "Well. It can be regarded as calling the police, but it can also be regarded as not calling the police." "What's the meaning?" "I discussed it with my friend who is a policeman, but because there is no obvious victimization or evidence in our family, it seems difficult for the police to take action. However, the policeman friend said that he will strengthen patrols in this area."

"...What do you want the police to do? It's really unreliable." Kurita spat. "Forget it. In this case, you have to ask that policeman friend to really step up patrols. Maybe patrols can effectively deter bad guys." "That's right, I will ask that friend again. Thank you, Oguri." "I told you not to call me 'Xiao Li Li' again." Xiaochun covered her mouth and couldn't help nodding with a smile. After staying for about thirty minutes, Kurita and the others left Koharu's house. Kurita originally didn't plan to stay for too long, and on the other hand, he was also worried about the situation in the store.Although he cared about the suspicious person, staying at Xiaochun's house all the time couldn't solve the problem.

"Then I'll come back another day." When Xiaochun sent Kurita and the two to the entrance, Kurita turned around and said. "Let me know when the peeping tom appears again. Although I keep a low profile, I still have connections." "You mean those punks? I don't want it. You're not going to have anything to do with those guys again, are you?" "Who has contact with them! Although there is no contact, as long as I have that intention, I can still call them." Xiaochun shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile of "nothing to do with you", "...Really. It's all right, you have to manage Kurimarutang well."

"You don't need to tell me, I'm already doing it." "I'll buy Dou Da Fu next time." "Hmph." Kurita waved his hand with a distasteful look, "I'll give you another one then." After Xiaochun narrowed his eyes with a gentle expression, he looked at Xiang Kui this time and said, "Miss Kui is coming to play again." "Okay... Thank you very much for your hospitality today!" The two walked out of Sumino's house, and there was still a bright light blue sky outside.Next to the nearby cement brick wall, several children can be seen playing with juice cans in one hand. Kurita and Aoi walked towards the station for several minutes in silence. Walking in the narrow alley, what happened just now naturally appeared in Kurita's mind. Of course, Kurita also thought of suspicious characters, but Aoi's reaction impressed him even more. Every time Kurita is about to commit violent acts, Aoi will change her usual attitude and stop her. Before today, Kurita always believed that it was purely because of Aoi's gentle personality. But is it really just that?Although Kurita felt hesitant, he still spoke to Aoi who was walking beside him, "Miss Aoi." "Yes... what's the matter?" "Have you... ever experienced any dangerous incidents?" Aoi widened her almond-shaped eyes, turned to Kurita and said, "What do you mean? Why do you suddenly ask such a question?" "...No. How should I put it, I don't have any deep meaning." Kurita couldn't help but feel that his question was very abrupt, and he didn't know how to respond.Seeing Kurita's bewildered look, Aoi snickered and said, "I haven't encountered any dangerous incidents. I should have said that when I introduced myself, basically I am a gentle pacifist. It's just..." "only?" "Maybe—" Aoi stopped suddenly, and Aoi, who had turned her head to Kurita, slowly turned to face the rear. "You, what's wrong with you?" Kurita looked closer in a panic, and found Aoi staring in the direction of Sumino's house while rubbing her chin. Kurita looked over from this angle, and suddenly realized that Aoi might be looking at the location where the suspicious person appeared just now. At this time, Aoi suddenly ran back in the direction she had just walked. "Miss Aoi?" Kurita chased after her in surprise, thinking to herself, "Her actions are often very sudden." Aoi rushed towards the four children who were playing beside the cement brick wall, and called out loudly, "Wait a minute..." "—Wow!" For some reason, the four children seemed to want to run away. It didn't feel like trying to run away because a stranger suddenly spoke to her. Aoi and Kurita came to the side of the four children, and the four children arched their backs as if they were watching their words and expressions, and looked up at Aoi and Kurita from time to time, feeling as if they had done something wrong. "What are you doing here...?" Aoi asked in a gentle tone as she bent down and put her hands on her knees. The four children seemed to be the second or third graders in elementary school. They didn't answer Aoi's question, but just stared at the ground silently.However, there is simply nothing nice in front of their eyes. Some are just asphalted gray floors and concrete brick walls. In addition, there are a few dark brown fallen leaves unique to this season, and the snaking traces outlined by the spilled juice.Around the trace of juice, several ants can be seen coming and going excitedly. Aoi knelt down and touched the ground with her fingertips, then raised her fingers as if drawing a circle in front of her nose. "What were you doing just now?" After Aoi asked again, the boy who took the lead among the four replied vaguely, "...didn't do anything." "Yes... that's good..." Aoi accidentally let the children go, and then added: "You can't waste drinks..." At this time, the children yelled "Wow..." and ran away as if they were bouncing away. Kurita looked at the backs of the children in confusion.He didn't understand the significance of Aoi's series of actions. "Miss Aoi, what's going on?" "...I don't quite understand either. Ah! Please don't be so surprised. It's just how to say it. I don't dare to say anything clearly at the moment..." Aoi was hesitant and seemed hesitant, but not long after, she said, "Let's go!" and took Kurita to Sumino's house again. After Aoi pressed the doorbell, Xiaochun came out from the entrance, and said with a surprised expression: "Miss Aoi? What's wrong? Did you forget to take something?" "It's not that I forgot to take something, it's that I forgot to say one thing." "What's the matter? Something about Oguri Li?" "no……" Aoi said wonderful words to Xiaochun: "It's about that suspicious person just now. Next time the other person appears again, please be sure to check the ground carefully."
