"Now, Ayana, you said that there is such a thing as 'human', will it change?"

In the hazy, pale green light, the handsome young man asked sideways, leaning half-leaning on the trunk of a tree.

"What-"

The girl crackled and texted, a little absent-minded, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"I was thinking, what would you think if one day I suddenly became a gloomy and rude guy?"

"Huh?" the girl stopped her fingers, tilted her head to look at him, and laughed out loud, "Fortunately, you don't think you're too elegant and need to change your image, do you?"

"Who knows......"

The boy fiddled with the glove in his left hand and muttered something in a low voice.

"However, as long as you are human, you will always change. ”

The girl turned her head and said while continuing her finger movements, "Anyway, as long as the living environment changes, the future goal changes, and even the people around you change, I will change more or less." ”

"Yes, people are changed, and they are forced to do so......" the young man sighed, "Now, Ayana." ”

"What?"

“...... You say I'm ......"

The wind under the tree suddenly became stronger, and the boy's sigh-like voice almost melted into the rattling of the branches. Akina stopped her movements and tried to hear the unfinished words of the young man beside her, but the voice swayed intermittently like a disturbed radio wave.

“...... I...... What the hell should I do......"

"What?"

The girl turned her head and stared at the young man who was leaning against the tree motionless, and could only see lips rolling in the shadow of the sea, and a sudden panic welled up in her heart. She closed her phone and stood up, reaching for the boy's shoulder, raising her voice in the whirring wind, "Luckily, you just said ......"

“...... But it's okay, at least I have some time. ”

The boy interrupted her, raised his head and smiled at her, his face full of vitality against the light.

"What-"

She was stunned, "What's a little time?"

The boy didn't answer her, and his smile was a little piercing.

"Well, let me ...... in these last few days."

"What are you talking about?"

The deep and shallow light seemed to swallow the young man's body, and the handsome smiling face became blurred. Akina stood under the tree with her hands outstretched, staring blankly as he slowly turned around, his silhouette fading and fading, as if he were walking towards the green light that enveloped the whole world, leaving her with a vanishing back.

Now, Ayana.

She stood alone under the tree, listening to the rattling of leaves.

The outstretched hand......

さよなら。

Still didn't hold him.

"Luck!!"

In the soft morning light, the girl suddenly sat up from the bed. The long hair on her sideburns was soaked with cold sweat, and strands stuck to her face, and her well-developed breasts rose and fell violently, and a heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She looked around a little dazedly, her eyes gradually becoming more focused with the familiar furnishings.

"What, it's a dream......"

She smiled wryly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

"-Ayana, are you up?"

Her mother's gentle voice sounded outside the door, making her cold limbs gradually warm up, and the feelings suppressed by the nightmare also relaxed.

"It's up!" she replied as she changed her clothes.

"Hurry up and come down when you're done washing, there's an officer out there looking for you." ”

"Officer?" Ayana was stunned, and Fuer took a deep breath, "Is it finally here......"

In the living room downstairs, Miwako Sato and Nao sat face to face, the wise black and the sharp golden green flashing at each other, and there was a little helplessness in the eyes of looking at each other.

"Sato, I really didn't expect you to come so early. ”

"There's a lot going on today, so I can't do it sooner. Sato smiled, "It's you, why don't you sleep more on a rare day off?" I originally planned to ask the relevant people before contacting you, but who knew that you arrived a few minutes earlier than me. ”

"It's just an accident," Nao shrugged, "I came home yesterday and found out that this person in question was someone I knew, so I called to make an appointment, originally wanted to rush before you asked, after all, ordinary chatting is easier to make people relax their guard than police officers asking." ”

"Someone you know?"

"Ah, this Sunaya is the sister of a friend of mine. ”

"What a coincidence!"

"yes......"

Before he could finish speaking, a red shadow jumped down the stairs like a camel.

"Early~~~ You're too early, Nao! Yesterday, the guy in Cilang said that he wanted to eat the cake of the Rice Flower Hotel in unlimited quantities, but the guy fell asleep first while eating, and we didn't come back until the evening in order to send him home, and I was tired to death, and I thought about sleeping more today. The red-haired boy walked over to Nao and sat down beside him, rubbing his eyes and yawning, his head slamming on her shoulder, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"Morning ...... I said Yueren, can you please take a look at the surroundings first?" Nao slapped off the red head with a smile and compared it in the direction where Sato was, "This is Sato from the Metropolitan Police Department's search section, who came to find your eldest sister." ”

"Ahh Xiang Higaku slapped his face vigorously and bent over Sato, "Good morning, I'm Xiang Higaku, please advise." ”

"Good morning, good morning. Sato looked at the young man who greeted him in a strange way, and his eyes were full of smiles, "Ah, it looks like you and Nao are really like sisters and brothers." ”

"How is that possible!!"

Yue Ren suddenly came to his senses and protested loudly, "It's definitely brother and sister!!! How can I look smaller than this guy Nao!"

"Really—" Nao chuckled in a long voice, "even if you're lower than me?"

"Yes, yes, even if the height is-" Yue Ren followed Nao's words, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and instantly came back to his senses, "No! Who is lower than you!"

"Hey, you're the highest," Nao waved her hand perfunctorily, "Let's get down to business first." ”

Listening to Nao's words, with Yueren's personality, he should have retorted loudly and jumped up, but who knew that today he was a little unusual, and he was actually stunned for a moment and then quieted down.

"Is that what I said yesterday?" Yue Ren frowned a little distressedly, "My eldest sister and the eldest brother of the Inao family are childhood sweethearts, and they have been together since kindergarten, and they didn't separate until they graduated from elementary school and moved...... Something happened to the eldest brother of the Inao family, no wonder my eldest sister has been a little wrong for the past two days. ”

"What's wrong?" Nao asked.

"What else can I do!" Yue Ren glanced at her, "I often start to be in a daze when I eat, and as soon as I finish eating, I sit motionless in the nearby park until dark and don't come back, I always lock myself in my room and cry, and sometimes I talk to myself...... Until yesterday, her love was a little better. ”

"It's no wonder, after all, it was someone close to me who died. Sato sighed, "I hope her love doesn't get out of control today." ”

"For the eldest brother of the Inao family, my eldest sister actually likes him very much. Yue Ren looked upstairs for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "After hearing the news of his suicide, my eldest sister always cried and said, 'It's all my fault'." ”

"Yes...... ? Nao nodded thoughtfully, "In that case, Ayana Mukai must know something." ”

"I hope so. Sato sighed.

"But Yue Ren, it seems that this incident has no effect on your love. Nao looked at the young man whose face had not changed, and asked with some doubts, "You should also be childhood sweethearts, right?"

"Not really, at most it's just an acquaintance. Yue Ren scratched his head, "I was only in the third grade of elementary school when our family moved out, and I barely spoke anything to my eldest brother of the Inao family, who was four years older than me, and the younger brother of the Inao family also played baseball with his eldest brother all day long, and I didn't have a common language with me who played tennis." Speaking of which, my eldest sister is the only one who has a good relationship with their family, and she still has contact until she goes to high school. ”

"Yes, just listen to what you call them. ”

The few people chatted for a few more minutes, and Ayana Xiangsun, who had not appeared for a long time, finally appeared.

Ayana is a beautiful and cheerful girl.

She is dressed in a neat dress, combed sweet curly hair, and even painted light makeup like every high school student who pays attention to appearance, and her beautiful figure and big blue-gray eyes make her whole person exude a vigorous youthful atmosphere. But even though she had tried her best to cover it up with her clothes and makeup, there was still a hint of exhaustion and gloom between her eyebrows.

"When we first met, I was Ayana Kohi. ”

She nodded to Sato and sat down on the couch beside her.

"I'm Sato from the Metropolitan Police Department, and I want to know something about the incident three days ago. ”

Miwako Sato flipped through the police notes and said to her, "The next question may be painful for you, but I hope you will cooperate with us as much as possible." ”

"It's a blessing. Akina smiled faintly, her expression a little weak, "I know, please tell me." ”

During Sato's inquiry, Ayana Mukai slowly spoke about her relationship with Yuki Inio.

Just like Yue Ren said, the two are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Inao Yuki is very similar to her personality.,Both are positive and optimistic people.,Even the fact that his left hand was injured and he couldn't play baseball anymore.,Although he will be low for a while.,But in the end he returned to everyone's sight full of vitality.,The gentle personality doesn't have anyone resentful of him.。 Therefore, when the Metropolitan Police Department closed the case at that time, she gave an explanation that "she was eliminated from the main election and her feelings were depressed, and she finally committed suicide", and Xiang Sun Ayana did not believe it at all.

But as for whether Yuki Inao had a motive to commit suicide, she gave a different clue.

"After Yuki's hand was injured, he once said something very strange. ”

Ayana recalled what Yuki Inao had said, and said to Sato, "The day after the check-up last week and the doctor said he would no longer be able to play, he asked me, 'Will the nature of human beings change?' and 'What happens if I suddenly change?' But what I was most concerned about was what he said later...... He said, at least he had some time, so let him spend the last few days-"

Ayana Mukai suddenly stopped talking, and the sudden silence made Sato and Nao look at each other.

"'In these last days'?" Sato asked eagerly, "and what did he say after that?"

Ayana shook her head: "I didn't hear it clearly after that, his voice was very small, as if he was speaking to himself." I asked later, but he said that it was nothing, and that I had misheard. ”

"That's really ......" Nao's expression became a little tangled, "Such an ambiguous expression can easily be understood as a confession before suicide, but the actual clues point to another answer, which is really impossible to judge." ”

"Hey, Nao, what's wrong?" Yue Ren looked at the complicated expressions of several people, a little crazy, "Didn't the eldest brother of the Inao family commit suicide, there's no problem in saying such things, what's going on with your 'easy to understand'?

"Whew-" Nao sighed and patted Yueren on the shoulder, "The possibility of Yuki Inao committing suicide is almost zero. ”

"W-What?!" Ayana jumped up from her seat as if she had been pricked by a needle, "Luckily he didn't kill himself?

"Ah, it's a homicide. ”

"It's ......"

Ayana's lips moved for a long time, and she sat back on the sofa as if she had unframed, and let out a long breath, "Great...... Not suicide...... That idiot ......"

Her face changed and changed, as if she was suffering something, and finally she couldn't help but sob softly.

"Hey, hey, big sister!"

Yue Ren hurriedly patted Ayana's shoulder, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, looking at the crying girl at a loss, so he had to turn his eyes to Nao for help.

"Take a tissue, stupid!" Nao helplessly held his forehead.

Ayana covered her eyes with the tissue she had handed her, and after a while, she finally raised her head. She smiled embarrassedly at Sato and Nao, and then picked up the tea on the table under her brother's expectant gaze, and looked at Yue Ren with gratitude and love in the middle of the night.

"Ahh

Seeing that Ayana had calmed down, Yue Ren finally breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his head, "It's really ...... I'm more tired than training!"

"Do you want to die?"

The red-eyed Ayana bared her teeth at him threateningly, and there was finally no thick depression in her expression.

Sato and Nao looked at each other and smiled.

Although the atmosphere was good, they still had to do something.

"Ahem...... Sato regained Ayana's attention, "We've all understood the previous question, but I still need to ask you one last question." ”

Ayana nodded in agreement.

"Where were you on July 20th, the day Yuki Inao died, between 9:20 and 10:20 p.m.," Sato asked.

"It's ...... Is it the time of Yuki's death?, which means that I need an alibi for this time period?" Akina frowned at Sato's affirmative expression, "I went out for a walk after dinner that day. Because I was very concerned about what Yuki said, I was a little upset and wandered around the rice flower park, and I didn't get home until it was close to ten o'clock. Although there were no witnesses, I called my father-in-law around 9:10 a.m., and I did at about 9:40 a.m. before I went home. ”

Nao looked at Yueren, who nodded affirmatively.

"I see. Sato made a note in the police handbook, stood up and said to the two members of the Muri family, "Thank you very much for your cooperation, I will contact you again if you have any questions." ”

Walking out of the house and looking at the closed door, Sato pressed his temples with a headache.

"I didn't expect that it would take nearly a morning just to ask the first person involved, and I didn't gain anything except to know that the deceased had been depressed. Sato said to Nao, "But I always felt that Ayana's alibi was a bit ambiguous...... The ingredients of sleeping pills were found in the stomach of the deceased, and if the deceased had called while he was unconscious, the deceased's brother had not returned home at that time, and no one would have noticed even if he spoke loudly. ”

"No, I think Ayana is innocent. Nao thought about it and said, "I asked Yue Ren yesterday, Xiang Sun always puts at least two spoonfuls of sugar when drinking black tea, almost a sweet lover, and the prisoner is a left-hander, and her hand is right hand whether she holds a teacup or a tissue, so the possibility of her being a prisoner is very low." ”

The key is, how did the prisoner return the key bag to the room and set the crime scene into a secret room?

And the blood stains on that teacup......

"Sato さん, the blood stains on that cup yesterday, have the test results come out?"

"That's the blood of the victim, Yuki Inao, yes. Sato nodded, "And the black tea in that cup has the ingredient of midazolam maleate, which matches the sleeping pill ingredient in the stomach of the deceased." ”

"Then it has been determined that the victim was killed by the prisoner after being poured sleeping pills and then falling asleep, which increases a great possibility. "Nao's eyes gleam with unknown meaning," Sato ...... Perhaps, while Yuki Inao was asleep and his brother was covering him with a quilt, the prisoner was already lurking in the room!"

And in the dead corner of the room, holding the red bat.

If it's discovered,

"I'm glad I wasn't discovered......," Nao muttered with a complicated expression.

The author has something to say: Yue Ren came out to play soy sauce~~~

I've stayed up late, and I have to code a chapter today, so let me go to sleep first......

It's a bit sleepy, probably this chapter is a bit messy.

This case is over in about 2~3 chapters, and then it's time for the bombing of Matsuda Jinpei

I'm having a headache -- !! Matsuda Jinpei is so hard to write -- !!
