Chapter 26 third quarter

Since Wang Tian was in elementary school, he has been used to putting the things he dislikes the first to deal with first—eating vegetables as soon as they appear on the table, and finishing homework on the first day of summer vacation. It hasn't changed since I was a teenager, so I should have gotten used to it.And the current primary goal is the whereabouts of Hiromi Urano, and the simultaneous hallucination incident of Rika Hayama (I have seen such a strange similarity with my own eyes, and I have nothing to say.) Is there a connection between the two?It should be... It can't be said that it doesn't exist.Rika Hayama was the last person to witness Hiromi Urano, and there were many doubts in the unclear testimony, which made people think that something might have happened to Hiromi Urano, or something he had done.What did you do?So... what is it?Wang Tian deduced that the person who attacked Hayama Rika was Urano Hiromi, which was very reasonable according to the case description, but after confirming the existence of another Hayama Rika with his own eyes yesterday, he had to give up this assumption.

"What are you thinking?" asked Hayama Rika, a girl standing in front of a large glass window looking at the tall buildings in the city. "It's been upgraded a lot. It's really different from the hotel last time, isn't it?" Wang Tian sat on the bed and spread his hands, as if telling her that this room was specially prepared for her. "But it's not me who pays." "Can I have a cake?" Rika Hayama turned around in the purple dress that Wang Tian bought for her, and straightened the hem of the skirt. "Please use." Wang Tian compared the strawberry cake on the dining table.

The girl walked around the bed and sat on a chair, then poured mineral water into a cup, brushed her long hair behind her ears, and began to eat the cake. "I said—" Wang Tian turned his body and said to her back: "Who are you?" Hayama Rika's information has been thoroughly investigated: she was born in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido in 1979. Her father is an unknown architect, Hayama Kiyotoki, and her mother is a housewife, Hayama Misaki. She has no siblings.Academic level is above average, no boyfriend, not many friends around, never had weird behaviors or thoughts.Three years ago, a car accident broke her right foot and she was sent to a nearby hospital for treatment, but the perpetrator who hit her was not arrested.Other than that, there is no special record. In a very ordinary life, why would such an ordinary person be attacked by another self?Wang Tian put aside his ordinaryness for the time being, thinking about these questions in his mind.

"I am who I am." The expected answer.The only thing he didn't expect was that Rika Hayama ate the strawberries on the cake first. "Do you have any idea about that clone?" "No." She took a sip of water to wash away the cream in her mouth, and continued: "Impossible, I just want to know what it is." "Could you please think about it carefully?" "What are you thinking?" "Urano Hiromi... As long as you can remember what she did, you will be really thankful." Wang Tian brought the ashtray over and lit a cigarette. "Let's do each other a favor."

"each other?" "I was ordered to find Hiromi Urano, you know that, right? Hiromi Urano has a lot to do with your own affairs." Wang Tian said affirmatively. "If I could remember it, I would have already thought about it." Rika Hayama turned the chair around to face him, with no concealment on his expression.Wang Tian has been in this industry for a long time, and he knows very well that when people are hiding something, they will show a special expression. "What's your last memory of meeting Hiromi Urano?" "It's still the same, until we look at the river together, I can't remember everything that happened next."

"That would be nerve-wracking." Wang Tian was smoking a cigarette. "If Urano Hiromi is so close to you, it stands to reason that when you are attacked, she should do something, like screaming or running away." "Maybe she has." Hayama Rika sneaked a glance at the cake. "It's just that I don't remember." "But since the distance between the tent and the downstream is less than 100 meters, if she yells or runs away, Horii Ryoko and Moriguchi Hiroe should both hear the sound." He said while puffing: " But I didn't get such a clue at all, so it means that when you were attacked and fled, Hiromi Urano has been watching silently?"

Rika Hayama didn't seem interested in this, and turned her chair back to the front to continue eating the cake. "You, did you do something to offend Hiromi Urano?" Wang Tian looked at the bandaged arm outside the purple dress. "I don't have that impression." "real?" "Hey, you..." Rika Hayama didn't even look at Wang Tian. "Do you think the person who attacked me was Hiromi?" Wang Tian didn't answer. "Did you see it too? The other me—" the girl continued nonchalantly: "It was that thing that attacked me, that thing that took everything away from me. If you want to know the truth so much, just ask that guy Wouldn't it be alright?"

"Because she doesn't look friendly." Wang Tian stood up holding the ashtray. "And that guy doesn't know what we're doing, which is in our favor, so it's not wise to approach her now." "It's really well-intentioned." "Is this a compliment?" "no." Wang Tian walked to the window and looked at the street scene in the daytime, looking at a society that never changes, and it can be said to be changing rapidly.It was only recently that he realized that he was just a cog in society. It was embarrassing for his younger brother to realize this long ago.He looked back with a cigarette in his mouth, and Rika Hayama was still eating cake, so he probably didn't care about Wang Tian at all.He wanted to pretend that he was the protagonist of Tanizaki Junichiro's novels, which was sad and self-pitying, but in fact Wang Tian had never read Tanizaki Junichiro's novels at all, so he had to give up hastily. what changed.

So... shall we start with Hiromi Urano first?Or should I contact that clone first?No matter what action you take next, you can only take one step at a time.
