Autumn in Japan always comes quickly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOften, people have not yet woken up from the intoxication of autumn beauty to feel the bitter cold of winter.

For many adults, they may have seen enough of such golden scenery, and even feel a little depressed in their hearts. The yellow branches and leaves fell one after another, forming a sad oil painting, evoking some deep memories in their hearts.

――――――

Osaka's train platforms are bustling with people, a sight that is commonplace in a fast-paced city. Not many people dwell too much and speed up just for something in their hearts.

A middle-aged man slowly weaves his way through the crowd.

The old brown trench coat, and the unrepaired stubble, were a little depressed in every way.

He was dragging an uncommon large suitcase with many scratches on it, and it looked like it had been used for a long time.

The wheel bones of the suitcase slid on the ground, and the palm of the hand carrying the box also showed a piece of innocence.

The box was heavy, perhaps stuffed with clothes.

Because in the hidden gap, you can vaguely see a corner of the clothes accidentally leaking out.

There is also a striking bright red on the corner of the clothes.

――――――

Hitomi has been silently observing this man for a long time.

Perhaps it was the man's vicissitudes of expression that evoked some of his deepest memories. Maybe it was the unreasonable suitcase that filled his heart with suspicion.

"Am I too sensitive? Or ......"

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Xiao Hitomi's thoughts were interrupted, and when she turned to look, she saw Xiao Lan staring at herself with curiosity on her face, smiling a little self-deprecatingly, and then touching Xiao Lan's head: "My brother is learning from my father to solve the case, and I am observing if there are any suspicious characters~"

Xiaolan nodded as if she didn't understand, and followed her brother tightly with her small box.

"It seems that Xiao Hitomi has the potential to be a police officer, but you have to work hard, otherwise it will be difficult to surpass your father and me! Ahh

Maori's brazen voice came from behind, and the smug sound of the waves even caught the attention of several station security guards who might not have gone up to interrogate and check their household registration if they hadn't seen this lewd guy with two children.

Concubine Yingli also walked over slowly with her suitcase, but her steps were a little hesitant, probably not wanting others to see her relationship with this lewd uncle.

"Hey..."Xiao Hitomi looked at his father speechlessly, twitched the corner of his mouth covertly, and then took the box in Xiaolan's hand: "Where are we going in a while?" ”

"Let's go to the hotel first, and we'll go to dinner after we let go of our luggage."

"Hey!"

――――――

The hotels in Osaka are already quite standard, not only have European-style luxury family suites that are rarely seen in this era, but also have a garden buffet restaurant on the top terrace of the hotel.

In the middle of the garden is a small musical fountain that soothes the restlessness of the guests by combining the flowing water with soothing music.

The Maori family is sitting by the fountain, looking at the beautiful surroundings and savoring the exquisite food on the table.

"Dad is so good, he actually found such a great place." Eating the small steak cut by Hitomi, Xiaolan said with admiration on her face.

When Maori heard her daughter's words, she couldn't help but be proud, and she wanted to take the opportunity to praise herself, when she heard Hitomi laugh out loud with a "poof" next to her.

"Although the hotel is set by my father, it must be my mother's credit card!"

"Haha." Concubine Yingli couldn't help but smile too: "Xiao Hitomi is really smart, but how did you guess it?" ”

"It's very simple, such a hotel costs more than 10,000 a night no matter what, how can a little policeman be willing to spend so much money~"

"Ha~~"

"You little ghost!" Maori didn't say a word and gave Xiao Hitomi a burst: "You talk a lot!" ”

"But..."Maori looked at Hitomi a little strangely, "How do you know so much about a little ghost?" ”

"Well... Just guess..."

Hitomi sneered, touched her nose and didn't dare to say anything more.

Maori and Yingli didn't pay much attention, and the topic diverted to tomorrow's tourist attractions.

――――――

Hitomi is not very interested in Western food, so she eats a few bites of steak and is full, and occasionally takes care of her sister and starts to look around boringly.

"It's... It's the guy at the train station! ”

Xiao Hitomi's expression froze, and he saw that in another corner not far from them, a decadent man was sitting there, quietly tasting red wine without saying a word.

This is the man Hitomi saw at the station during the day.

The unnatural suitcase caught his attention at the time - it was too big, and judging by the trajectory of the drag, the contents were definitely much heavier than ordinary clothes.

How can a single man carry so much luggage?

The man's mental state was also very suspicious, there was hardly any anger in his eyes, his expression was happy and sad, and his mood was close to collapse.

And now, this middle-aged man is actually in the mood to sit here and drink red wine, wearing an expensive suit, and even shaved his beard.

Except that his eyes are still dazed, the whole person's state is much better than during the day.

"Is the annoying thing solved, or..."

"Hitomi-chan, we're going back, we have to rest early at night and have fun tomorrow." Fei Yingli's voice came from the side.

"Okay, got it." Hitomi took her sister's hand and walked with her parents to her room.

Towards the end of the restaurant, Hitomi quietly turned her head, and the man was still sitting there, with a smile on his lips.

"Forget it... I hope I've thought too much. ”

――――――

It's late at night.

The lights in Maori and Yingli's room had gone out, and Xiaolan was asleep soundly in her bed, with a little sweetness on her face.

"Headache..."

Somehow, the strange illness that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly flare-up again.

Hitomi had experienced this pain countless times, but she still felt unbearable.

In the darkness, the boy's face was faintly red, and the green tendons that had emerged from the severe pain floated back and forth on the little pupil's scalp like tadpoles, as if they were about to drill out.

"Hold back... I'm going to hold back... Can't let Mom know..."

Hitomi is desperately enduring the pain that even adults can't bear.

He didn't want his parents to worry about him, and he didn't want to see Xiaolan crying in distress.

"Ahh

Finally, this intense pain gradually subsided when Hitomi was about to faint.

Sweat soaked Hitomi's underwear, and the green tendons visible to the naked eye also faded and disappeared.

"Whew..."Hitomi gasped for breath: "This damn illness is getting more and more frequent, it used to be only once every few months, but now it's almost once every two weeks, and it's getting more and more painful." ”

"I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to bear it......"

Xiao Hitomi looked at Xiao Lan, who was still smiling in her sleep, and her face was full of love: "Xiao Lan, don't cry when the time comes." ”

――――――

Hitomi lay on the bed, her eyes open and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The silence of the night sky is more intoxicating, and the evening breeze is colder than the day. The white moonlight pierced through the layers of dark clouds, and finally it still shrouded and sprinkled quietly on the boy's silent face.

His face was full of depression and confusion about the future.

It's just that even he doesn't know what is.

The black pupils, which were larger than ordinary people, were illuminated by the moonlight.

Gradually turning crimson.

――――――

Same for this hotel.

In a very luxurious single room, the figure of a middle-aged man looms in the dark.

"Mieko, my dearest Mieko, you wait, the guy who hurt you will come to accompany you soon..."

"I'll be with you, too... Definitely..."

The man's muffled voice faded away, and the room was silent again.

The oversized, worn-out suitcase lay quietly in the corner of the room.

Because the plug was too full, the gap that could not be closed was finally stretched wider because of time.

An object slipped out of the gap.

It was a miserable white human hand......
