Chapter 20: An Encounter in the Sky (End)
Hitomi shook her head and smiled at Judy, "So Sister Mariko may have said two words to Mr. Yamamoto at that time. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"Two sentences? Which two sentences? β
"The first sentence should be, 'The plane is about to land, aren't you going to go to the bathroom?' , and the second sentence is, 'I just saw Yoshiko Kitagawa plattering sushi with your favorite flavor in it.' ββ
"It seems that this is really the case, I remember that as soon as Mr. Yamamoto came out and saw me, he asked if there was salmon sushi, and after I nodded, he just took a... Because he used to like the salmon sushi I made the most..."Kitagawa Yoshiko said immediately after getting rid of suspicion, her mind cleared up.
Still a little puzzled, Yamao asked, "But that's not right, even if Mr. Yamamoto likes Miss Kitagawa's salmon sushi, he just needs to take the sushi, why does he have to go to the bathroom?" Also, what does the first sentence mean? It must have been around five o'clock Tokyo time, and the plane was still an hour away! β
Xiao Hitomi blinked: "This is a truth that only people who often fly or deal with airplanes all day long understand~"
"Could it be..."Another flight attendant, Karina, who was also suspected of being a criminal, suddenly opened his eyes wide: "The bathroom will be closed during the descent of the plane?!" β
"That's right! I remember that Brother Xiuyi said that Sister Mariko went to the bathroom first around five o'clock. That's when she smeared potassium cyanide to the handle of the inner door, I think. Back in her seat, she whispered to wake Mr. Yamamoto and tricked him that the plane was about to land. Because he works in the airline all the year round, Mr. Yamamoto knows that the bathroom will be closed and cannot be used during the descent of the plane, and Mr. Yamamoto, who slept all night, should have some convenience, plus he knew that there was his favorite flavor of sushi prepared by Kitagawa's sister, so he really went to the bathroom, and then stepped into the death trap woven by his wife step by step! β
Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, the truth was actually like this!
Will also slowly asked at this time: "But what if there are still people in the back who want to go to the toilet?" Because the plane is not really in a descending state after all. Or, if I hadn't noticed Mr. Yamamoto's abnormality at the time, wouldn't I have been poisoned too? In this way, her methods are exposed. β
Although it was a possibility, she should have considered it as well. Don't forget, Mr. Yamamoto and Mariko's seat is the first row and the closest seat to the bathroom. As long as anyone goes to the toilet at this time, Sister Mariko will know, and if Grandpa Will hadn't noticed Mr. Yamamoto's abnormality at that time, I think she would have screamed loudly before you entered the bathroom. Since potassium cyanide is an acute poison, as long as the amount is sufficient, there is basically no possibility of saving life, and the plane was still in the air at that time, so even if Mr. Yamamoto is not dead, she doesn't care if others find out that he has been poisoned. β
"And Mariko's sister is very lucky, no one went to the bathroom before Grandpa Will, and when Grandpa Will found the body, it was exactly around 5:30, and when everyone came forward to check, the bathroom was already closed because the plane was descending. Sister Mariko only needs to find a way to erase the traces of cyanide*potassium after the plane lands. β
"Am I right? Sister Mariko? β
The little boy's gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and Mariko only felt a blank in her mind.
No, why is this happening...
It's a perfect murder tactic, and I have their help...
There's no reason for this little boy to see through the truth...
Just when she wanted to cast a look at someone for help, the little boy's voice sounded faintly: "You won't ask me what evidence I have at this time, right?" I don't know how you plan to dispose of all the evidence after the plane lands, but we're still flying, and the container with potassium cyanide must still be on you, right? β
"Nope! You don't know anything at all! Mariko suddenly shouted hysterically: "I don't want to kill him at all, I don't want to do it at all!" β
Tears dripped from Mariko's distorted face like a wellspring of tears, and she leaned weakly back in her chair, as if she had lost any strength in her body. In the eyes of everyone, either angry or regretful, this once beautiful woman seemed to be talking to herself like a madman: "If it weren't for Yamamoto's wealth, how could I have married him who is old and ugly!" Just like you guys! looks like he has been abandoned, but in fact, he just cares about his identity as a rich man! β
Mariko's resentful gaze swept over Karina and Kitagawa Yoshiko's faces, only to hear her continue to roar, "Then what's wrong with me pursuing what I want? Moreover... Besides, I wouldn't have been able to find out... Woo..."
"So... Sister Mariko, did you just blame everyone else for all the faults? β
This sentence was not said by Hitomi, he turned his head to go, and Yoko finally walked out from behind him, only to see that this weak and shy little girl in the impression was so resolute at this time.
"Everyone's pursuit of happiness is different, so I can't blame you for being right or wrong. But will you be happy if you take the life of others for the sake of what you are after? β
"My father taught me from a young age that I must work ten times and a hundred times hard to experience the joy of success in the end! And you, Sister Mariko. When you carried out your murder plan, did you think about how much of an impact it would have on Grandpa Will, Hitomi Kotomi, and even everyone on this plane?! β
This girl who is as pure as water exudes a clear but undaring light at this moment, like a flower bud that finally blooms, revealing her beauty in front of the world.
Judy and Shuichi Akai looked at each other tacitly, and their expressions were full of exclamation: Today's children are really not simple!
"Sister Yoko..."Hitomi looked at Yoko, and suddenly felt a little distressed in her heart, this carefree girl seemed to have grown up overnight.
Mariko looked at the angry little girl in front of her, and her cold eyebrows were a little familiar in a trance.
"It's familiar, where have you seen it?"
She wouldn't know that in those most brilliant years, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, with the purest and simplest yearning.
She wouldn't have known that once upon a time, her smile was like a crescent moon, on the path of happiness, thrown into the arms of a lucky boy.
She just felt that Yoko was a lot like a person, someone who was very familiar but couldn't remember faces.
It's like those fragments of memory forgotten in the long river of time, which can no longer be pieced together into a complete memory.
She wouldn't know that that person was herself.
ββββββ
The announcement of the plane's landing sounded again, and everyone was still standing in the aisle at this time, looking at the lost Mariko without saying a word.
The first to speak was the young security officer, who smiled a little awkwardly: "Since Mrs. Yamamoto has admitted that she is the murderer, then please go back to your seats, the plane is about to land." β
As he spoke, he walked over to Mariko and wanted to take her back to the staff rest area, but Shuichi Akai stood in front of him at this time.
"Don't want to explain?"
"Huh? What to explain? β
The security personnel looked at the sharp-eyed man with some strange eyes.
Shuichi Akai pursed his lips disdainfully, but his body was still in front of Mariko: "Explain those poisonous sushi." If Ms. Yoshiko Kitagawa hadn't been poisoned, why did the sushi you brought back has traces of potassium cyanide*? I think her accomplice is you, the one responsible for helping her clean up all traces of crime after getting off the plane! β
"What! And accomplices? β
Everyone, including Hitomi and Judy, was shocked, they never expected that there would be an accomplice on the plane.
"Aha, what are you talking about! I've only been working here for a month, so there's no way I've met Mariko. The security guard hurriedly smiled and shook his hand, and said to Mariko behind Akai Shuyi, "You say yes, Miss Mariko." β
Although the young man looked smiling, Mariko clearly saw a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"If exposed, you die!"
In such murderous eyes, Mariko suddenly remembered the sentence on the note, and her back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Akai Shuichi didn't care what the young security guard's expression was, and before he could speak again, he bullied him and came up with a knee bump, thinking that he could make a move, but he didn't expect that this powerful attack was actually blocked by this security guard with one hand, and there was a muffled sound of "poof".
"Sure enough, there is a problem!"
Akai Shuichi no longer hesitated, twisted his body, and leaned forward with an elbow strike. And the young security guard was no longer clumsy, he took a step back to dodge, and then his body sank slightly, and he immediately met a punch, which was firmly imprinted on Akai Shuichi's chest, and he took Mariko behind him and took a few steps back and leaned on the back of the chair.
"Hey, you're good, but it's a pity that you're a little worse than me."
The corners of the young security guard's mouth showed a hint of mockery, and he was about to step forward to attack a few more punches, but he felt a tightness in his waist, and a huge force threw his body off the ground, and then fell to the ground solidly.
"Wow! Uncle Yamao, you're so handsome! β
Under the admiration of Yoko and Kotomi, Yama raised his arms and smiled proudly: "I'm the elite of the bodyguards!" β
Akai Shuichi also gave a thumbs up to Yama Yu depressed at this time, he was still a little careless, he didn't expect this guy's fighting level to be on par with himself.
Just as a few people wanted to step forward to control the young security guard, they felt a violent tremor under their feet, and the plane finally landed!
The old Will didn't seem to stand firm, and one stumbled into Yamao's arms, and Yamao didn't react and fell on Akai Shuichi, and the two of them tripped over each other and fell on the sofa seat with Mariko.
"Not good!"
As soon as the two of them reacted, they saw the young security guard who had fallen to the ground quickly get up, parryed Judy's hastily punch, and then dodged next to Yoko with a dazed face, and his thick and powerful fingers tightly clasped her throat.
"Miss!" "Sister Yoko!"
Amidst everyone's exclamations, the young security guard smiled evilly: "Be careful, if I'm nervous, I might crush this kid's throat!" β
"Damn... Do you know what you're doing? The plane has landed, and the New York police will arrive in a moment, do you think you can still run away?! β
Shan Xiong looked at the young security guard angrily, the eldest lady, who was regarded as the pearl of the palm of the whole family, was actually taken hostage, or under his nose, if the young lady made any mistakes, he couldn't make up for such a mistake by cutting his stomach!
"Calm down!" The young security guard shook his finger and looked arrogant: "After the plane docks on the covered bridge, as long as I take this little girl to get off the plane first, if you don't say a word, who will doubt me wearing such a uniform?" β
"You two, oh, and you, beautiful young lady, it hurts me so much from your punch~ The three of you sit in the last row, stay in my line of sight, don't make any small moves, otherwise I will really work hard!"
Akai Shuichi, Yamao and Judy had no choice but to move slowly and walk towards the back row.
Hitomi didn't say a word at this time, and he looked at Yoko, who had been strangled with red marks on his neck, and his heart became more and more angry.
It's just that this scene seems to have been vaguely seen somewhere.
Even among those fragments of memory that are within reach but can never be traced, there seems to be a girl standing in front of her with such a weak posture.
In the haze, he was helpless, but full of anger.
Who is she... Why do you feel distressed when you think of her...
"Ahh What a headache! β
In the trance, the indescribable intense pain in his head swept over again, and the sharp pain spread rapidly, piercing his nerves more and more fiercely each time.
In the eyes of Judy and the others in the back, the little boy who seemed to know everything distorted his face in an instant, he held his head tightly with both hands, and his blood-red pupils were becoming extremely bewitching for some reason!
The young security guard was also stunned in his heart, and he saw that Xiao Hitomi's eyes were undergoing some kind of astonishing mutation, gradually exuding an indescribable color.
Gradually, the little boy's movements softened, and he stared at the red pupils, looking at the young security guard and making a faint hoarse voice:
"Put... Open... She..."
"You little ghost, stop pretending!"
The young security guard was inexplicably frightened, and just wanted to take action, he heard Xiao Hitomi roar angrily: "Let go of her!" β
A second? Or a minute? Or is it longer...?
The young security guard felt himself in the little boy's red pupils, caught in a silent and endless whirlpool.
He saw a fragment of his childhood, a gloomy room, where he stood trembling among the corpses of several of his companions.
He saw the scene where he had completed his mission for the first time, and the woman who had his brain popping out of his head seemed to be silently mocking him.
He also saw the man he feared most in his life, the man with a hideous smile on his face covered in the flesh and blood of a traitor, and was called "that gentleman" by everyone.
Finally, he saw himself when he died, the blonde man named Gin stepped on his head, and cut off his nose, ears, and everything he could feel with a knife...
So, under the surprised eyes of Shuichi Akai and Judy and others, the arms of the young security guard suddenly hung down weakly, and his strong body fell to the ground with a bang...
ββββββ
Hitomi walked up to Yoko, looked at the delicate little girl and asked with a smile, "Did it scare you?" β
Yoko shook her head, she did have the panic after being held hostage just now, and the distress when she saw this boy in pain.
It's just that after everything is over, all that remains in her heart is the warm smile reflected on the boy's face.
"Hitomi-chan, thank you!"
Yoko decided to give the little brother a big hug, but when she hugged him into her arms, the girl's first kiss also fell gently on the boy's forehead, in the moonlight of New York.
"This stinky little ghost..."
When Shan Xiong saw this scene, he quietly scolded on his lips, but he was also a little relieved in his heart: "It's good to be young!" β
On the other side, Shuichi Akai was checking on the condition of the young security guard, and Judy saw that his face was a little wrong, and asked curiously, "Did you faint?" β
"Dead, scared to death."
Ignoring Judy's incredulous gaze, Shuichi Akai's eyes drifted to Hitomi: "This little guy, how did he do it..."
"Ahh Hitomi-chan, what's wrong with you! β
In Yoko's exclamation, the boy, who had accomplished a miraculous feat, fainted as if he had collapsed.
The small body in the moonlight, like a knight who has completed his mission.
ββββββ
Ambulances and sirens whistled as they drove toward the quiet behemoth in the puzzled gaze of JFK.
The cacophony of people and the shouts of the police instantly boiled over the entire area, like a classic Hollywood movie.
No one noticed that an old figure was shuttling through the crowd, and his graceful and vigorous steps did not seem to be at all appropriate for his age.
In the dark corner, the old man connected his mobile phone, and his voice came out from the corners of his wrinkled mouth, which was so charming and gentle.
"It's me, the infiltration plan failed, and Seven is dead..."
"As for the reason... Hehe, please forgive me for keeping it a secret for the time being..."
"Why? Because secrets make women more feminine..."
