Chapter 29 Epilogue I Yoichiro Shigeru

Saturday, June 10 at eleven o'clock in the morning. "Don't worry about worrying in your heart anymore, you know?" In the lobby of the psychiatric building, Takeuchi patted Yoichiro on the shoulder and said.Yoichiro raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "If you get sick again next time, can I ask you to treat me again?" "Don't say such stupid things." "You are a very good psychiatrist. Three years ago, you were able to cure the disease that Mr. Tian Di found very troublesome in just three weeks." "It must be because your symptoms are milder than last time. My ability is still far behind that of Mr. Tiandi."

It's been three weeks since Field died. The person who took over the treatment of Yoichiro was Takeuchi. She believed in Tiandi's ability, so she had no doubts about Tiandi's diagnosis.Of course, the drama Yoichiro put on in front of her also worked.Including several dialogues, and the farce that Yoichiro staged when he entered Takeuchi's consulting room to clean up - grabbing a staff member who happened to pass by the corridor and claiming that the other party was his patient.Therefore, Takeuchi believed in Yoichiro's "disease" 100%. About a week earlier, Takeuchi had revealed to Yoichiro during his treatment sessions that Tada's cause of death had been determined to be suicide.This is the conclusion drawn by the police.Therefore, Yoichiro was "cured" according to the plan, and will finally be discharged from the hospital today.

You don't have to pretend to be sick anymore. "Anyway, thank you for your care." Yoichiro left Takeuchi and walked to the corner of the hall, where there was a plastic trash can.Yoichiro took out an envelope from his pocket. On the envelope, the addressee was written as Harano Fusae, but the sender was not specified.This letter was written by Yoichiro on his computer in his room in the middle of the night when Osuke and Aki were asleep two days before he murdered Tianji.If the police came to the hospital to arrest him because of Tian Di's death, he would entrust someone to deliver this letter on his behalf.There is no need for this now, Yoichiro rejoiced in his heart, while tearing up the letter and throwing it into the trash can.

Then he remembered again. The night the fields were murdered. Yoichiro called Tanji to the top floor of the research building.Although the door leading to the top floor was locked with a code, Yoichiro had seen the criminal police surnamed Kumajima unlock it when he went to the top floor to investigate, so he wrote down the code.When Yoichiro arrived there, he placed the bouquet he had bought from the sales department of the hospital in advance where Kei jumped off the building.In this way, Tian Di will definitely stand there and look down.Then, Yoichiro hid behind the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, waiting for Tada to show up.There is an air conditioner outdoor unit on each side of the attic, and Yoichiro chose the one on the right.In fact, he was still a little confused.Is killing Tiandi really the right choice?Is this really the method I should take?Yoichiro stared at the door of the attic with bewilderment.

However, it was not Tiandi who came, but Huangjie and Yaji.Yoichiro was stunned for a moment, he hadn't expected that Huangsuke and Aki would come to such a place.But no matter what, with these two people present, the plan to kill Tian Di cannot be carried out.The problem is, I can't show up and tell them to leave immediately.In any case, they cannot be allowed to find themselves here. Yoichiro stood in a daze behind the outdoor unit, listening to the conversation between Osuke and Aki.At this time, Yoichiro heard the shocking fact.It turns out that Hui's suicide was not the act of one person, Hui originally wanted to commit suicide together with Aki.However, Aki changed his mind the moment he jumped, and only Kei fell to his death.The blood left on the top floor was not from Hui cutting his wrist at all, but Ya Ji's menstrual blood.If the police carefully test the composition of the blood, they will find that the blood has the characteristics of menstrual blood-it does not contain proteolytic enzymes and cellulose, and is not coagulable.However, the police determined that the cause of Hui's death was a simple suicide, so they did not conduct a rigorous on-site search and evidence.Then, Yoichiro learned the more terrifying truth from the conversation between Aki and Huangsuke.It turns out that not only Sakie, but also Aki has become a victim of Tian Chi's evil desire.At this time, Yoichiro finally knew why Shuicheng saw toilet paper stained with semen in the trash can in the living room two years ago.Back then, when he first heard about it from Shuichengkou, Yoichiro once wondered if Kei had done something wrong to him when Shuicheng was not at home.It turned out that it was really just a misunderstanding.And the truth is even more terrifying and serious than the misunderstanding itself.At this time, Yoichiro was no longer confused about whether Tian Chi should be killed.

Soon, Tian Di finally appeared on the top floor.Huang Jie and Ya Ji quickly hid behind another outdoor unit, which can be clearly seen from Yoichiro's position. As Yoichiro expected, Tada saw the bouquet of flowers by the railing and walked over.The bouquet of flowers was not chrysanthemums but roses and baby's breath, and the bouquet was not placed on the ground where Hui died, but on the jumping place on the top floor.However, Tian Di didn't seem to notice these irrationalities, he just stood by the railing and looked down.Yoichiro is caught in a dilemma, this is the best time to kill Tian Di, but this matter must not be carried out in front of Huang Jie and Ya Ji.

In the next moment, Aki's figure flashed in front of Yoichiro's eyes, and he rushed forward, slamming into Tian Di's back in one go.Tian Di's body climbed over the railing and disappeared beyond the edge of the top floor.However, the moment he fell, he grabbed Aki's left hand.Yaji quickly hooked his feet to the railing, so as not to let himself fall.At this time, Huang Jie also rushed over, raised his fist, and swung it down towards Tian Di's hands.Seeing this scene, Yoichiro hurried forward.There is only one thing in his mind, and that is absolutely not to let Huang Jie become a murderer.So, he pushed Huang Jie away and punched Tian Di's hands.

Tian Tian fell from the building and died on the spot.This sudden and unexpected development made both Huangjie and Yaji dumbfounded.Yoichiro did not explain the reason to them, but hurriedly led them away from the scene.A group of people tiptoed to the gate of the University Hospital, and Yoichiro instructed the two to walk home.When parting, he reminded the two of them that they must never tell anyone what happened tonight, and no matter if asked by anyone, they had to say that they had been staying at home.I have been to the research building, I have met Yoichiro, etc., these things must be kept secret.

Since then, until today, Yoichiro has not seen the two of them again. I don't know what kind of thoughts the two of them have towards Yoichiro?That night, when they parted in front of the gate of the University Hospital, Osuke and Aki seemed to think that Yoichiro had just returned to normal for a while and happened to be on the top floor.They thought Yoichiro just happened to be there and did a great favor. Today's discharge from the hospital means that the plan has come to an end, but Yoichiro's chest seems to have opened a big black hole.His own plan involved two children in such a terrible incident.The two children were in danger and witnessed a murder scene, all of which were due to myself for deceiving the field to the top floor.

"what is that?" Yoichiro tore the letter into pieces and discarded it blankly. At this moment, Takeuchi poked his head out from behind and looked towards Yoichiro's hand. "It's just miscellaneous notes written by some mental patients." After Yoichiro tore up the letter, he turned his head and said to Takeuchi. "I can already make this kind of joke, it seems that I don't need to worry about it." Takeuchi smiled, his shoulders in the white robe shook slightly. "Having said that, this is the first time I've seen a cleaner throw garbage."

From next week, Yoichiro will be able to continue working in the hospital again. "Cleaners can throw rubbish, just like psychiatric researchers can get mentally ill." "Are you referring to Water City?" "Yes, that's him." According to Takeuchi, Shuicheng's hallucination symptoms have been greatly reduced, and there should be no need to take chloramphenicol. "My Mao, what do you think is the reason for Shuicheng's hallucinations?" "I don't know... I'm just a cleaner." Yoichiro was perfunctory.Shuicheng did not tell Takeuchi the reason for seeing the hallucination. Yoichiro thought to himself that Shuicheng is no longer disturbed by hallucinations, which is the best proof that he has admitted that Aki is his own flesh and blood.There should be two reasons for him to return to normal.The first point is that the driver who hit Yaji with his car claimed that Yaji ran over and crashed the car by himself. This incident made Shuicheng deeply reflect on his indifferent attitude towards Yaji.As for the other point, Shuicheng agreed to let Aki live in Yoichiro's house.At that time, Shuicheng did not find that Yoichiro's disease had "relapsed" again.But since that night, after Yoichiro staged a "projection" scene at Shuicheng's house, Shuicheng realized that he had made a serious mistake.He thought to himself that he had let his daughter live in the home of a patient with delusions, so he began to worry about Aki.At this time, Shuicheng finally realized how much he loved Yaji in his heart.In this way, he was finally freed from the illusion. Yoichiro had mixed feelings that his plan had brought unexpected benefits. "nice weather……" Yoichiro looked towards the exit of the building. The other side of the automatic door was flooded with dazzling sunlight. The yellow tulips that were originally neatly arranged had been pulled out at some point, and a row of petunias had been planted instead, with pure white flowers blooming. "With you, the soul can rest." Takeuchi suddenly said something wrong with the horse's mouth, which made Yoichiro turn his head to look at her in bewilderment. "What did you say……" "This is the flower language of petunias." It's a surprise that Takeuchi has research on the language of flowers. "The mind is rested..." Yoichiro shifted his gaze back to the petunia, trying to picture someone's face in his mind.He tried to exhale slowly, relaxing his shoulders.But this seems to be very difficult for him now. "What is the flower language of tulips?" Yoichiro asked casually. "Tulips have different flower language according to their colors." "Where are the yellow tulips?" "Uh, the yellow one is..." Takeuchi looked up at the ceiling, narrowed his eyes, and kept searching in his memory.After a while, she nodded slightly, looked at Yoichiro and said: "Should be 'hidden emotions'." The words that Takeuchi said with a smile were like being sucked into the huge hole in Yoichiro's chest, causing a pang of pain in the deepest, darkest part of his heart.He didn't know what to say in response, so he turned his head and looked at the other side of the automatic door. "Is someone coming to pick you up?" "I called Huangjie yesterday, and he said he would come to pick me up, and he also said that he would go to Shuicheng's house first and bring Yaji with him." In the past three weeks, Fang Jiang frequently traveled between his distant hometown and Yoichiro's apartment to help take care of Huang Jie.Today, she has some personal affairs that must be dealt with no matter what, so she went back to her hometown first.There must be a day to thank her. "Actually, Huang Jie doesn't need to come to the hospital to pick me up." "Huang Jie must be very happy." "yes?" "Does it matter? He can finally live with his favorite father. Yaji has always admired you, and he must be happy to pick you up." Yoichiro didn't speak, just looked outside the building.At this time, he saw that there seemed to be a small white piece of paper dancing with the wind in the sunlight.For a moment, Yoichiro thought it was the letter paper he had torn up just now, but he immediately realized that he was wrong. It was a butterfly, a pure white butterfly attracted by petunias, fluttering delicately in the sun. "This is the first time I've seen a butterfly this year." "Really? Those butterflies are everywhere." Yoichiro nodded silently.Of course, this is not the first time a butterfly has flown past my eyes, but it is the first time that I understand that it is a butterfly. Two small figures appeared on the other side of the butterfly. They were bathed in the sun, running on the path, getting closer and closer. "Dad, you have worked hard." Huang Jie stepped into the automatic door first and said so.It's kind of weird to say that to a discharged patient. "Uncle, good afternoon." Ya Ji also came to Huang Jie's side.The plaster cast on her right arm has been removed. "My dad will come later." "Water City?" Yoichiro froze for a moment, not expecting Shuicheng to come.Wait a minute, how should we face it? "Isn't it great to be able to reconnect with old friends earlier?" Takeuchi said with a hearty smile.At this time, Takeuchi's name sounded on the hospital radio.Takeuchi gave a "tsk", and curled the corner of his mouth. "Okay, I'm Mao, goodbye. Say hello to Shuicheng for me." As the footsteps receded, Takeuchi gradually drifted away towards the depths of the corridor.Huang Jie and Ya Ji stood in the corner of the hall, playing guessing games, and took turns drinking water from the drinking machine.Yoichiro looked at the two children, and suddenly a warm hand touched his left shoulder.Turning around, Shuicheng was standing beside him.The stubble on his face had been shaved clean, and he looked several years younger. Before Yoichiro could ask, Mizushiro said first: "Under the treatment of Dr. Takeuchi, you look much better. That guy, who only prescribes medicine for me, treats you so carefully." "Shuicheng... I have caused you trouble." Yoichiro bowed his head, apologizing for throwing him on the road that night. "Why, my Mao, do you still remember that incident?" Shuicheng seemed rather surprised. "Yeah, the memory of the illness was unexpectedly deep. I'm really sorry." "Each each other." Shuicheng shook his head, then whispered: "Aji's matter has also caused you a lot of trouble." "How are you and Aki doing recently?" "Relationships are slowly recovering." Shuicheng glanced at Aki. "At least I think so." "It's the most important thing that you can feel that way." The relationship between the old friend and his daughter gradually repaired, which made Yoichiro let go of the big stone in his heart. "If you think about it carefully, I am actually quite similar to Aki. You are right, the curve of the jaw is almost exactly the same." As Shuicheng spoke, he stretched out his hand to caress his bare chin, then took out a bunch of incense from his jacket pocket, and said: "I'm going to offer incense sticks to Teacher Huiji Tiandi... Do you want to come together?" "Of course." The four stood beside the research building, silently clapping their hands together in worship.Shuicheng lit the incense, and the cigarette rose vertically in the windless air.Yoichiro's eyes kept moving up with the light smoke, up, up, up...but when he saw the railing on the top floor, he couldn't help closing his eyes. At this time, Huang Jie suddenly pulled Yoichiro's shirt sleeves, raised his head and smiled at him, and gestured with his eyes to let Shuicheng and Aki be alone, and Yoichiro agreed.So, the two left Shuicheng and Yaji at the scene and walked to the edge of the miscellaneous forest. "Dad, did you notice anything different?" Huang Jie asked while standing under the shade of the oak tree.Yoichiro looked at his son's face, not knowing the meaning of this sentence. "Today is the day Dad is discharged from the hospital, so I brought Mom along." As Huang Jie said, he tugged at the collar of his shirt.A nostalgic aroma mixed into the surrounding soil smell, this is the fragrance of Saki branch... "A long time ago, my mother told me that when people die, they disappear, and when they disappear, there is nothing..." Huang Jie slowly inhaled the air into his nasal cavity, as if he wanted to inhale his mother's fragrance into his body, he continued: "However, I don't think so. In the future, if I find that the mother in my heart is about to disappear, I will borrow that bottle of perfume from Aki, open the lid and ask... Dad, why don't you do the same, I will ask Aki Borrow yours." "That's a good idea..." Yoichiro also took a deep breath, feeling as if Sakieda was standing beside him.Osuke, himself and Sakieda stood side by side.Sakie's fragrance, Sakie's presence; Yoichiro's wife, Osuke's mother. "I think I will never hate someone from the bottom of my heart again." Yoichiro turned his head to look at his son, not knowing why Huangsuke said such words suddenly. "That night, I really wanted to kill Teacher Tian. Even if Dad didn't do it, I would. At that moment, I hated Teacher Tian from the bottom of my heart." "Huang Jie..." "However, after three weeks of thinking and thinking, I finally figured it out. If you hate someone in your heart, the hatred will come back to you in some form. Dad, you are the same, right?" Yoichiro didn't know what Huangsuke meant by saying this. "Dad, because of Mom, you hated Mr. Tiandi. Even though you killed him in the end, you didn't feel well. Besides, you will always have regrets for involving Yaji and me in this matter, right? !" Yoichiro was too shocked to speak.Huang Jie looked up at his father with a gentle smile, and said: "So I decided not to hate someone from the bottom of my heart. Hatred won't do any good, and if my mother sees me in that mood, she won't be happy either." "Why are you……" Why do you know these things? After a moment of silence, Huang Jie said apologetically: "I watched 'Recycling Bin' again." Yoichiro suddenly realized.That night, after he printed out the letter to Fang Jiang on the computer, he deleted the file.But whether it has been completely cleared, he has no impression.From this point of view, probably not. "Dad, you must be too tired to be negligent. This time, you have thought through the details of the plan, but you left the letter with all the secrets in the computer. It's a hundred secrets. .But don’t worry, I’ve cleared the files for you.” "When... when did you find the letter?" "Two days after Mr. Tiandi died. I remembered that the night when Yaji came to live in our house, I heard the fan of the printer again. So I wondered, would Dad print something again that night? , so I turned on the computer to take a peek, and I found out. Although some sentences are too difficult for me to understand, I still barely understand the gist of the letter." Huang Jie smiled lonely.The breeze blows gently, bringing the fragrance of Saki branch. "Dad, you told me on the day of the sports meeting... that the first place may not be the greatest. I can also understand the meaning of that sentence now. Teacher Tian Di is such a powerful doctor in the hospital, but I didn't expect that he was a doctor in private. Bad guy." "Huang Jie, Dad..." The words seemed to be stuck in the throat, unable to speak.Yoichiro took a deep breath and continued: "Dad didn't want you to know what happened to your mother, and he didn't want you to know that Dad did such a terrible thing." "I already know, what can I do?" "Huangjie, what do you think father should do...?" Osuke lightly held Yoichiro's hands.Like all ordinary people, his palms were dripping with sweat. "One day, we'll come up with the answer together." Huang Jie's eyes under the lens smiled softly.His son's gentle words deeply touched Yoichiro's heart.When did Huang Jie become so strong?Not so long ago, someone who needed to be protected was completely different now. Yoichiro was too moved to say a word. At this time, Shuicheng and Aki stood up, turned to look at Yoichiro and Huangsuke.Huang Jie approached Yoichiro, and quickly said a word: "I didn't tell Yaji about these things. She thought it was just a coincidence that Dad saved us on the top floor at that time." Yoichiro nodded. The father and son walked out of the shade of the oak tree side by side, the sun shone on their faces, and they could hear the conversation between Yaji and Shuicheng. "Dad, how many months have you been able to buy watermelons?" "I don't know... what's wrong?" "I made an appointment with Huang Jie to eat watermelon, half of which is eaten by a spoon." "Eat one for two? Won't you have diarrhea?" "Even if you have diarrhea." The four walked along the edge of the woods and left the research building.The sunlight shining through the leaves is like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, scattered under the feet, the chirping of insects can be heard from time to time, and the fragrance of new buds is everywhere. At this time, Yoichiro found that Aki's hair was tied with a red rubber band. "Aki's hairstyle is so cute." Hearing what Yoichiro said, Aki turned around and stroked the rubber band on the side of his head. "Well, because..." Yaji paused for a moment, as if searching for a suitable word in his head.After a while she said this: "I feel stronger." Aki made an "L" gesture beside her face and smiled.This action surprised Yoichiro. "I told Yaji the code...will you be angry?" Osuke looked up at Yoichiro.Yoichiro shook his head. "of course not." At this time, the sun shining through the leaves fell on Yoichiro's face, making him feel that the summer sun seemed to be closer to him than before.In the sunshine, a butterfly is dancing, I don't know if it is the one just now. "Huangjie, can you catch that butterfly?" "Maybe there is no way..." Huang Jie ran towards the butterfly and jumped with all his might.The butterfly easily avoided Huang Jie's fingers in the air, and quickly flew higher in the air.The figure of the butterfly overlapped with the sun, and the dazzling light made Yoichiro close his eyes.
