"Although I don't know the reason, I know that that night, Yaji and Aunt Hui stood here and wanted to jump off." Huang Jie's voice was very gentle. "That's right!" Aki was still looking at the stars, only his lips opened in response. "That's right...we were going to die together. My mother and I tied our hands together and wanted to jump down together." At that time, Aki's right wrist was tightly tied to Kei's left wrist. "The thing you use to tie your wrists is the light blue headband of the sports meeting, isn't it!"

"My mother took it out of the laundry basket in the dressing room before going out. There was nothing else in the house that could be used as a rope, so my mother took that headband and went out." "Aunt Hui and you tied your wrists together with a headband and climbed over this railing. But at the moment you jumped down, you..." Huang Jie paused for a moment, then continued: "You made a correct decision. " Such a statement made Aki look at him in surprise. "Huang Jie thinks my decision is correct?" "Aki, you decided not to die, you decided to live, so you grabbed the railing. I think it was the right decision, really."

Huang Jie moved his eyes down, looking at the railing beside the bouquet. "The reason I came here is to take a look at this railing. I want to make sure that the railing on the edge of the top floor can be held tightly by Aki with a grown woman hanging on the other hand. And, I also want to make sure the distance from the railing to the edge of the top floor is not too long." "After actually seeing it..., what do you think?" "I think it should be possible. The distance between the railing and the edge of the top floor is only 40 centimeters, and the vertical iron railings are also 30 centimeters wide. When Aunt Hui jumped from here, if you turned around immediately and hooked the railing with your left arm Vertical railing, you will not fall yourself. Next, if you hook your feet through the gap between the railings, at least for a short time, you can stabilize your body. Although the right arm hangs Aunt Hui, but your left hand can move at this time."

Aki was very surprised.The situation Huang Jie described was exactly the same as what she did that night. "The left hand can move freely, what can it do?" Aki asked tentatively. "For example..., take out a utility knife from your pocket, and cut off the headband tied around Aunt Hui's wrist." "That's right..." Sure enough, everything was seen through by Huang Jie. Aki recalled in his mind that the moment Kei jumped, he turned around and grabbed the railing.Binding Kei's headband pulled Aki's right arm down violently, causing Aki's wrist to hit the concrete floor hard.Yaji felt that her whole body was about to be dragged down, and her feet quickly passed through the gaps in the railings, and finally supported the force of the fall.So Megumin was tied to Aki's arms and hung from the edge of the roof.Aki desperately hooked his feet on the railing, turned his head and looked down, and at that moment, Aki and Kei's eyes met.Hui at that time...

"My mother's expression is so gentle, there is nothing between her and the ground, but her expression is so gentle." Aki tried to pull Hui up, but she couldn't do it with her strength.Megumi, who was hanging in the air with only one left hand, also tried to stretch her right hand upwards, but no matter what, her fingers couldn't touch the edge of the top floor. "Cut it off." Hui said tremblingly. "faster." Aki hastily took out a utility knife from his pocket, and pressed the blade against the knot on Hui's wrist. The utility knife slid horizontally, and at that moment, Yaji suddenly felt that his right arm became lighter.Kei's body fell along the dark wall of the research building, getting smaller and smaller.Aki closed his eyes.Then, a dull sound shook her tympanic membranes, and she slowly opened her eyes. Hui's body was far below, on the dark concrete floor, motionless.

"The cut on Aunt Hui's left wrist was actually caused by Yaji when she cut the headband." "It should be. At that time, I was very flustered and didn't have much memory." "Aki, your right arm..." Huang Jie looked at Ya Ji's right arm. "The fracture was not caused by a car accident, but it was broken while hanging Aunt Hui, but you have been hiding it. The next day, when my dad went to your house, you endured the pain of the fracture and sat on the sofa all the time .So when my dad wants to touch your hand, you will throw him away." That's right, Aki hastily shook Yoichiro's hand away with her left hand.At that time, Yaji was enduring the incomparable pain, it seemed that as long as there was a little impact, his whole body would be shattered.Her right arm was already swollen and purple under the long-sleeved blouse.Every time the heart beats, the pain-sensing nerves let out a silent howl.

"Later, you couldn't bear the pain in your right arm anymore, knowing that you must get treatment in the hospital, so you thought of a way, as long as everyone thinks that your right arm was broken just now." There is only this way.Ya Ji couldn't ask her father to take her to the hospital, because if she did, she would have to explain the fracture to her father.Yaji told his father that he had been at home since noon the day before, so he couldn't honestly tell the cause of the fracture. "So, you run to the road below the apartment building. In order not to inflict additional damage on yourself, you find a car that is moving very slowly, and deliberately run out to be hit by the car, so that you can push the broken arm to the car accident. "

Huang Jie's expression became sad. "Aki, when you talked to me about the car accident in the park, you said you wanted to kill yourself. But if you really wanted to die, why didn't you jump from the window of your house? Aki's house is on the tenth floor, Suicide by jumping off a building is obviously much more practical. It can be seen that you lied at that time, but in fact you..." "I did not lie." Yaji couldn't help interrupting Huangjie. "It's true, I really wanted to die at the time. At the beginning, just like Huang Jie said, in order to go to the hospital, I planned to crash the car on purpose. But when I came to the apartment building, I stood on the road and watched When the car was passing by, I suddenly felt that there is nothing wrong with being dead, anyway, my mother died too..., everything made me feel disgusted... scared... In the end, I didn't think about anything, just closed my eyes. Get to the middle of the road."

But by accident, it was a very slow car that hit Yaji. Except for the concussion caused when her head hit the car body, she did not suffer other serious injuries.After the hospital examination, no other abnormalities were found except for the fracture of the right arm. "I see. You're not lying..." Huang Jie lowered his head apologetically, Ya Ji patted him on the shoulder and said: "I'm sorry, you can continue talking." It feels amazing.Why did Yaji urge him to continue talking?Maybe in Yaji's heart, he wanted someone to know everything, and wanted someone to understand him.

Huang Jie raised his head, obediently followed Ya Ji's words, and continued: "After Aunt Hui fell from the top floor, you went home alone and didn't know what to do. You wanted to talk to someone, but you didn't find Uncle Shuicheng. You knew that Uncle Shuicheng was working in the building at that time, but you I don't want to ask him for help at all, because...he always ignores you at home?" "Yes..., no matter what, I don't want to rely on my dad. Too many things happened at that time, and my mind was in a mess, but this is the only thing I know very well, and I absolutely can't discuss it with him. "

After Hui fell, Aki sat on the top floor for a while, she just stared blankly at the headband still wrapped around her right arm.Finally, she finally stood up.At this time, she heard the sound of a hard object colliding under her feet. It turned out that the utility knife fell to the ground.Yaji didn't pick up the utility knife, because once she let go of it, the utility knife suddenly made her feel so scary that she didn't dare to touch it again.Aki walked away from the top floor, walked down the stairs, walked out of the research building, and returned home.She keeps worrying, what should I do?what to do?Who should I contact?I didn't want to rely on my father, but I didn't dare to call the police. "Later, Yaji finally thought of someone to discuss with, and that was my dad." Huang Jie was right. "The only adults who can discuss this matter are uncles." "You didn't call my home at that time, you didn't want me to know about it?" Aki nodded honestly. "I don't want Huang Jie to know about this, I don't want you to know that I wanted to die, I don't want you to know the reason, and I don't want you to know that I cut off the headband tied to my mother's hand..." "So, after I go to bed at ten, you come to my house, and you know very well that I go to bed at that time." Yes, Aki is very clear.Usually when chatting with Huang Jie about TV programs, Huang Jie is always unable to talk to the programs after ten o'clock in the evening. His reason is "I was already asleep at that time". "In the same way, you can't ring my house's electric bell because you are afraid of waking me up. Two years ago, my mother was worried that my father's illness would recur, so she gave my house's backup key to Uncle Shuicheng. You took that key with you when you went out. The key, used it to open the door of my house and walked into my house. You wanted to discuss this with my dad secretly without waking me up. But that night, my dad was already asleep. " Yaji interface said: "I opened the door and walked in, and found that all the lights in your house were turned off. I froze for a moment, wondering why uncle went to bed so early." "You went into my dad's bedroom and shook him to wake him up. Like you were on the bus trying to wake me up when we got home from the university hospital during the day." "what……" Aki couldn't help crying out.At that time, the bus was about to arrive at the stop where the two of them should get off. Yaji shook Huangjie's shoulders, but when Huangjie woke up, something seemed wrong. His eyes turned to a certain point in the sky, and the expression on his face It was like seeing something incredible. "So that's the case, you already figured it out at that time." Huang Jie stared at Ya Ji and nodded. "When you shook my shoulder, I thought there was an earthquake. It reminded me that the morning after Aunt Hui passed away, my dad asked me if there was an earthquake last night. It must be because he felt it in his sleep. Someone's shaking him." "But why didn't uncle wake up at that time? I shook it several times." "Since my mother passed away, my dad couldn't sleep every day, so he would take sleeping pills before going to bed. It must be because of the effect of the medicine that he didn't wake up." "I see……" The mystery was finally revealed.Why Yoichiro didn't wake up at that time has always puzzled Aki.Of course, when Yaji was shaking him, he was still confused. He didn't know whether he should tell what he had done, so he didn't use a lot of strength. Perhaps this was one of the reasons.But even with a slight shake, ordinary people would wake up, Ya Ji always found it incredible. "My dad didn't wake up, you were very distressed and didn't know what to do. In the end, you decided to put everything..." Speaking of this, Huang Jie faltered.Yaji waited for a while, and found that he didn't know how to continue, so he said: "I decided to keep everything a secret. Me and my mom went to the top floor of the research building together, we tied our arms with a headband, and then I cut the headband and my mom fell downstairs, and..." This time, Chang Yaji faltered and hawed, but it was useless to conceal it now. "The real reason we kill ourselves, and the suicide note to write that reason." After a moment of silence, Huang Jie spoke again. "Sure enough, Aunt Hui's suicide note does exist." "Yes, before going out that night, my mother wrote a suicide note. That suicide note is still in my room." Even Aki himself didn't know what to do with the suicide note written on the note paper, should he wear it forever?Or sneak it away? "I couldn't wake my uncle up, so I used his computer to write a fake suicide note, which looked like it was written by my mother, and it was a suicide note that made everyone think that my mother was planning to commit suicide alone. However, I don't know what to do. How to write, in the end, I wrote the first paragraph of the real suicide note." "Toru, I'm tired. I will never forgive you." This is the beginning of Hui's suicide note. "When I was typing on the computer, I was really worried that my uncle would wake up suddenly or Huang Jie would be woken up by me. When the printer was printing, the sound was louder than I imagined. I was really scared." In a pitch-dark room, the laser printer makes a loud fan noise, ejecting the printing paper.Aki couldn't help but froze all over with fright.Even thinking about it now, it still makes my feet go weak. "But why do you even know about this? I secretly use my uncle's computer, this matter should..." "Because I found out that Yaji had an oversight." Huang Jie's expression was filled with inexplicable sadness. "When you have finished printing and closed the file, the message 'Do you want to save' should appear on the screen. At that time, you accidentally pressed the Enter key, and the file was saved on the computer .Not long ago, I also made the same mistake when I was writing an essay. When I closed the file, something seemed to appear on the screen, but I pressed the Enter key without looking at it, so the file was stored in 'My Document' .” "However, I found out right away, and then hurriedly opened 'My Document' and deleted the suicide note files inside." "Even if you choose 'Delete', the file will not disappear from the computer, but will be moved into the 'recycling bin' on the desktop." Yaji was taken aback. In retrospect, this matter was indeed taught in the school's computer class. "At that time, Yaji must have been flustered. If you were normal, you would never make such a mistake." "Huang Jie..., have you seen the suicide note file?" "Yeah, I saw it. At first I thought it was my dad, it scared the hell out of me." Anyone would be surprised that the suicide note written by a friend's mother before committing suicide would appear on his father's computer. "Later, Yaji was still stealing from my house." "Steal something?" "You stole my headband, didn't you?" Huang Jie seems to be deliberately using words such as "stealing" and "stealing" that are common in everyday life, perhaps hoping to make Yaji feel that what he is doing is "no big deal" by using such words. "Yes, I stole it. Because my headband is already broken. Of course, it's no big deal if the headband is broken. Just throw away the broken headband and apologize to the teacher. But if someone breaks my headband If you associate it with my mother's suicide..." "Maybe it will be seen through." "Yeah, so I stole your headband. At first, I looked at the laundry basket in the dressing room, but the headband wasn't in it. I wondered if it was in the washing machine. I opened the lid of the washing machine and it was in there." .” "That day, I forgot to take out the laundry to dry." The moment Huang Jie smiled, the warm night wind blew across the roof.Yaji's skirt fluttered slightly, and her bangs gently caressed her forehead. "Yaji, why did you write a suicide note at my house?" Huang Jie asked: "My father and I may wake up at any time, isn't it? Wouldn't it be more at ease to write at your house?" "Because I was afraid that the police would investigate the suicide note I wrote." Perhaps because the explanation was not clear enough, Huang Jie showed a dazed expression.Aki added: "I am worried that after the police investigate the printed suicide note, they will find out which computer and which printer it was written on. If the police find out that it was written on my home machine, the police may Will investigate my computer and printer in detail. In this way, they may find evidence that the suicide note was written after my mother died. If they find such evidence, they will know that I wrote the suicide note, Because I was the only one at home during that time.” Looking back now, these have become unnecessary worries.After Watertown found the suicide note under the whiskey bottle, it never turned it over to the police.But for Yaji at the time, she couldn't predict how the situation would develop, and she couldn't be sure whether the police would launch an investigation.She doesn't even know if the police have a way of finding out from a suicide note which computer it was written on and which printer it printed on. "To be on the safe side, I decided not to write the suicide note at home. I wanted to use computers and printers that the police would never investigate. In the end, I borrowed my uncle's machine." After Aki finished speaking, he fell silent.Huang Jie showed the same expression as before again, staring at Ya Ji in a daze. Finally, Huang Jie squinted and smiled. "Sure enough, your mind is really good." It was windy again.Perhaps Huang Jie's smile brought the breeze, Ya Ji thought.
