Chapter 4 fourth quarter

"All in all, it's a pity that after eleven years, what you did was finally exposed in this heavy rain." "Yes, I'm sorry." The little bell bug, clinging tightly to Fukuroya detective's shoulder, was still shaking its tentacles and looking at me. It is said that due to the heavy rain that caused the cliff to collapse, the staff of the public office who went to the site to inspect found the body of S exposed on the ground, and my coat that was buried with S and was stained with a lot of blood. "However, why didn't you empty your pockets? I can understand that you buried the blood-stained coat, because it's too noticeable to wear it back. But, you have to take out your student ID card, library card, etc. .Although I shouldn't say that, but it was a mistake, a mistake."

Detective Fukuoya leaned back on the iron chair, slowly shook his head, and then suddenly leaned forward. "Did you feel flustered and forgot to put those documents in your pocket?" "Well...probably." do not understand anything. This man doesn't understand anything at all. "I suppose that's it." I will bury the contents of my pockets with my coat that day, anticipating that it will come sooner or later.However, I didn't expect this day to come so late. I should be grateful. One Sunday eleven years ago, I had nothing to do, nothing to think, and I was alone in my apartment looking at the ceiling.At dusk, I went out to a natural park not far from the university.The reason is very simple, I just want to see Kyoko - I overheard S and Kyoko meeting over there.In that piece of woods, the only place suitable for men and women to go on foot is the corner of the high platform surrounded by railings and hung with the sign of "Lookout Square", which is worthy of the name.There are two ways to get there, one is the main boulevard, and the other is a grassy path, almost a mountain road.I didn't want to meet them on the way, so I chose to take the mountain road.I want to hide behind the tree and peek at her surrounded by cicadas, I want to watch her squinting and blocking the sunset with one hand from a distance, that's all.That's all there really is.

They sat side by side on the railing of the high platform and talked.The railings are made of logs with a height of about one meter. Kyoko is wearing a T-shirt, with the setting sun on her back, facing S's side face, far away, so beautiful, and her lips move so gently.I leaned against the trunk of the water oak and watched the apricots, feeling a tingling deep in my nose.The sight in his eyes sparkled and dazzled.Gazing at the apricots under a blanket of orange, I was too sad to be myself.Even so, I still couldn't leave.I want to keep looking at Kyoko in the twilight.Forever and ever, always looking at her.

"Here, what are these bellworms doing?" Soon, Kyoko landed on both feet and left the railing.With a bit of emptiness in her eyes, she stepped out slowly, as if she had to move her legs due to the shift of the center of gravity, moving away from S step by step.So, she went one meter forward, another meter forward, and then turned back. "The male and female bollworms look so strange." Kyoko looked directly at S who was still sitting on the railing and spoke, and S responded with a few words.Kyoko nodded, and was about to turn her back, but suddenly turned to S again halfway.

"The female bollworm, it will approach the male bollworm." She ran to S and pushed his chest with both hands.It happened in an instant, S didn't even have time to call, and disappeared on the other side of the railing. "What do you think they're doing?" Kyoko ran out of the observation square and down the dirt-covered steps.I immediately followed her.She pushed through the grass and walked into the woods, as if she wanted to reach the place where S fell. "Let me tell you." Kyoko stepped forward on the grass. "Next, the female bollworm kills the male bollworm."

I chase Kyoko's red top. "Female bollworms give a fatal blow to males that are weakened by estrus and mating." I looked down on them both from the upper floor.I hid behind the thick tree trunk and held my breath, preventing the two of them from discovering my existence.The overlapping leaves above the head are intertwined into a net in the evening sky.The sound of breathing bounced back from the rough bark in front of him, and it sounded extraordinarily loud. "The female will eat the male to survive." S begged Kyoko for mercy intermittently: I will not say who did it, I will insist that I fell accidentally, so call an ambulance for me.But Kyoko didn't agree, she picked up the stone at her feet without hesitation, and hit S twice on the head.

Then, Kyoko turned and left. "However, your wife and son... must be very surprised." The criminal policeman's eyes looked extremely sympathetic. "I'm going to divorce my wife. It's better for them. It's better for my son and my wife. Although it happened a long time ago, it's still better for the family who did such a thing as abandoning the corpse. It's better for them when I'm not around. .” A child cannot live without a mother.As for the father, he can live without it. Suzuki whispered on the policeman's shoulder.Whisper to me in a volume that no one can hear.The sound of the bellworm crawled into my mind, multiplied, multiplied, and continued to multiply, increasing the volume intermittently, while densely occupying the inner side of the skull.I know that something surrounds me, and it's approaching without leaving a gap.For some reason, it reminds me of my childhood.The smell of grandfather smoking.Grandmother dozing, increasingly distant voices.A mole-like ink stain on my father's shirt.The mother wiping the dining table carelessly with a rag.The girl in the stationery store I liked before would definitely give me a glare when I passed by.A secret entrance to an empty building discovered with two friends, we've had countless adventures inside the dirty concrete.Suzuki whispered on the policeman's shoulder and kept whispering towards me.

"shut up!" The detective raised his head immediately upon hearing the sound.I pressed my hands on the table and took a big breath.The deep part of the eye hurts, as if the eyeball is swollen; the heart is beating violently, and every time it beats, the scene in the room flickers on and off. "I know . For every word uttered, something was squashed and destroyed.I pounded the table again and again, again and again.There was a sound of opening the door behind him, someone came in, and immediately went out to shout a few words.Then, the sound of several hurried footsteps came closer.
