The white bird finally calmed down and looked directly at the redwood tree.
"Whether it is changing rooms or keeping the original order, we must obtain Miss Chiyo's consent. If Miss Chiyo has no intention of changing rooms, then I will defend her right to live to the death."
Hong Shi's expression was stagnant. He looked at the leader of the Criminal Division in front of him and suddenly felt that he exuded a contradictory temperament of loyalty and rebelliousness, gentleness and competitiveness, hot-blooded and calmness that only existed among men in the Showa era.
This kind of temperament became extremely rare in the Heisei era among the so-called decadent generation of Heisei abandoned houses.
Although Sequoia appreciates this temperament, she never gives in easily - at least in words.
"Hand the knife to the victim and let the victim decide whether to live or die?"
Sequoia stopped, avoided White Bird's gaze, and shook his head, "It's a barely passing answer. However, I will defend to the death the choice I gave you."
After saying that, he asked Tomoko: "Where is Chiyo?"
"Miss Chiyo works part-time at a nearby restaurant,"
As soon as Sequoia asked Tomoko, she found that her speaking speed was astonishingly fast, and her reaction speed doubled. Sure enough, Lord Crow was still too kind to her?
"When you mentioned Miss Chiyo just now, I arranged for the traffic police to notify her to come back as soon as possible," he said, looking at his watch, "This time is almost here."
"Wow," Sequoia patted Tomoko on the shoulder, "You should get a diary to write down these rare moments when your IQ is online."
"はい(Hiyi)!"
"Idiot, I didn't ask you to remember it."
Shiratiao walked out of the door by himself until he reached the exit of the basement passage, opened the door and walked out.
The Kyoban police were still maintaining order at the scene, because the blockade started from far away and there were almost no people walking around.
Outside the apartment, the blue sky and white clouds, the flower pond and the path, the scenery is bright and bright, but the gloom in Bai Niao's heart has not been relieved at all.
Suddenly, a woman with a curvy figure wearing a tight-fitting black leather jacket and pants, riding a particularly stylish motorcycle, drove over at lightning speed. Then, with a cool drift, she stopped at the entrance to the basement of the Nara apartment.
The woman took off her helmet and looked at Shiratiao, "Hello, Officer Shiratori."
Shiratori looked at this beautiful and delicate face. It was Chiyo Hasegawa whom he had met once at the funeral of the young man named Ryuichi.
"The police called me,"
Chiyo got off the motorcycle and took out the key, "What's the emergency?"
"Miss Chiyo,"
Shiratori looked at Chiyo and sighed secretly, "This matter is important, so I will try to keep it short, but please remember that you have the absolute power to make the final decision, and no one can impose orders on you..."
…
It was completely beyond Shiratori's expectation. After hearing the whole story, Chiyo agreed without much thought.
"I agree to change rooms."
"this……"
This answer was too quick.
Shiratori wished he could think it over for Chiyo, "I think you'd better think about it carefully, because what you are about to face is not an ordinary monster..."
"Didn't you say that time is very tight? We still need to sign those contracts and so on,"
Chiyo looked at Ryuichi's motorcycle, "Actually, the night before Fujino came to the basement, I had a feeling."
Chiyo's expression was very calm,
"At that time, I was a little uneasy and a little strange. I was thinking, isn't Fujino definitely dead? Why do I still have that strange feeling? I never expected that today he would behave in such a bizarre way.
The way found me again.”
"We are sincerely sorry that something like this happened and made you have to make such a difficult decision." Shiratiao said.
"I should be the one to say sorry,"
Chiyo shook his head,
"Fujino had been haunting me before he died, and it was no surprise that he turned into a monster after his death and found me. To be honest, I was the one who troubled the tenants in the basement of the Nara apartment and also troubled the police.
I still remember the tenant in room D-004. It seems that he was the gentleman who was persuaded by Gu Xingjun to switch rooms with me not long ago because he sympathized with my situation. If he had been approached by Fujino before me and died, I
I'm afraid I'm going to die of guilt. Now that I know it in advance, I couldn't be more lucky to be able to avoid such a tragedy.
Moreover, I don’t think those so-called weird investigators you mentioned will find a way to solve the problem without me sacrificing my life during this time. Those words are obviously meant to increase the burden on your heart.
So be it--"
Chiyo hung his helmet on the motorcycle and walked straight into the basement passage.
"Since Fujino came to the basement of the Nara apartment because of me, let it end with my departure. It can be considered a beginning and an end."
Shiratori looked at Chiyo until the other person's back disappeared into the doorway, still unable to recover from his guilt and surprise.
…
After Chiyo walked into the passage, she returned to her room first.
Tomoko said that the contract for changing rooms would be brought over soon, and then she and the middle-aged man named Yoshiro Matsumoto would each sign the signature.
Taking advantage of this short gap, Chiyo found a piece of letter paper and planned to write a letter to Gu Xing.
In fact, in the face of Officer Shiratori's frankness, Chiyo happily agreed, but how could she not feel entangled in her heart——
Long Yi resolutely left this world in order to let her live a better life. In the end, she inevitably followed in Long Yi's footsteps. How sad it would be if Long Yi knew about it.
There is also Gu Xingjun. He was entrusted by Long Yi and took great care of him. He definitely did not want to see himself die tragically. In this way, it seems that Gu Xingjun has passively failed Long Yi's trust.
But if his death can really bring Fujino's weirdness to a perfect end, it will be truly worth it. Ryuichi, who has always been kind-hearted, will definitely support her if he understands the whole story.
As for Gu Xingjun... It seems that I didn't see him among the busy policemen in the underground passage just now, so I might as well hide it from him.
Speaking of which, Gu Xingjun also lives in the basement, and the rooms are ranked ahead of hers.
If Fujino keeps knocking like this, sooner or later he will reach Gu Xingjun's room... In this way, Chiyo can be regarded as saving Gu Xingjun's life and indirectly repaying the kindness that was originally difficult to repay.
That's it.
With such complicated feelings, Chiyo started writing quickly.
After a while, Tomoko knocked on the door and came in.
Chiyo just finished writing the letter and stuffed it into the envelope.
"Give this letter to Gu Xingjun." Chiyo handed the letter to Tomoko, "Also, is the contract ready?"
"The contract is fine," Tomoko said, "but the door of D-004 is locked. Matsumoto Yoshiro is hiding inside and saying nothing, and refuses to open the door no matter what."
"Didn't you tell him that I voluntarily changed rooms with him?"
"As I said, Matsumoto Yoshiro didn't react at all. We were planning to force the goal."
At this moment, there was a burst of exclamation from the corridor.
Someone shouted: "Fujino is coming!"
"That's wrong, how could it be so fast?" Tomoko's expression suddenly changed and she quickly looked at her watch, "It's ten minutes ahead of schedule!"
