"My younger brother's later life can be called wandering, although he studied very seriously at university and did his homework well, but after all, he only studied for two years, and he did not have a formal qualification, so he could only do odd jobs in Tokyo, worked as an apprentice in a bakery, worked in Mitani, and worked as a security guard on a construction site."

"His life was very numb and boring, but it was such a boring life, and my friend also had a great, unknown happiness."

"He often takes time out of his work to peek at the kindergarten and elementary school where the child attends from a distance through the fence, and secretly watches the child change from a kindergarten student to a primary school student and a junior high school student, which is his greatest source of happiness.

"The only time was because the child was bullied by his classmates after school, and he had been secretly guarding him, and he took out the wrench in his arms and waved it to protect the child behind him."

"The bad kids who bullied were scared away by me, and my friend wanted to run away and run away again, but the child grabbed my friend's hand and said that he would treat my friend to a snack as a thank you."

Chef Liudao didn't seem to notice the gaffe in his words, and still said to himself: "The two of them found a snack shop to sit on the steps, eating delicious bars and chatting, from this child's words, my friend knows what kind of childhood the child has spent." ”

"Since the time of sensibility, as long as the child makes a little mistake, the friend's brother will fight, sometimes it is raining heavily, and the child will stand in the rain to reflect on the mistake, even if the fever reaches 40 degrees, it does not matter, and every time such a beating, the child's mother will sadly lock herself in the room and lock the door and cry, and once the child was accidentally scratched by the water on the ground, and the typewriter he was holding accidentally smashed on the father's toes."

"The child was kicked out of the house and tied to a tree in the courtyard of the house to dry overnight, by the way, at that time they had already moved into a new home, that is, the one in Chiyoda, in fact, it can also be said to be the 'hometown', that mansion is the property of the sister-in-law's mother's family, but after the death of the two old people, the property naturally went to the name of the sister-in-law."

"The father of such a beast, even if he is killed, there is no pity!" Nabe Shion was angry, she felt that killing her father was not a problem at this time, but then she fell into confusion again, it seemed that the child was not the father's, such a relationship...... It's messy.

But in any case, it is a beast to fight like this against a child.

In Chef Rokudo's narration, Nabe Shion can be regarded as understanding why Ryota Rokudo murdered his biological father without hesitation.

Just over a decade later, my friend and the child met again, but this time it was the child who walked into the friend's life on his own. On a weekday a month ago, the kid walked into the restaurant where my friend worked, well, my friend eventually became a chef after a series of life events. ”

"My friend's muscles stiffened when he saw this young man with a face that looked somewhat similar to his own."

"After he came in and ordered food for a while, he said, "Uncle, you are my biological father, I have heard about it from my mother."

"This child looks very much like my friend, but maybe because he didn't lack nutrition when he was a child, his adult figure is very strong and strong, hearing his statement, my friend denied it again and again, and didn't dare to admit it."

The kid just smiled dumbly and didn't say much, but after work, the two of them found a U-shaped table outside and ate it.

You even know what the layout is in the kiosk, and when your friend tells the story, he must have explained it in too much detail.

"This is the second conversation between the two in more than 20 years, and it is estimated that the child does not know that when he was a child, he had a long conversation with this familiar stranger in the sunset, and the two of them talked a lot that night, but my friend did not recognize the title of father or anything like that."

"But the kid said that if he had lived with his uncle since he was a child, maybe everything would have been different."

"This sentence made my friend very sad, and my friend even thought afterwards that it would be a punishment for himself to just move out of Tokyo and spend the rest of his life in a place where no one could find him, as long as it could not interfere with the child's future."

"But, but, but I didn't think ......"

The chef pressed the iron plate hard.

But the salmon that grew in the icy water never thought that its final destination would be a hot iron plate.

This accident is too difficult for the fish, who lives in the water and knows what the fire looks like.

"I see, I see."

Mito Yue sighed, his brows furrowed, and the problem that had been bothering him since yesterday was solved.

"Mito-sensei, what do you understand?"

"The fish is paste. I've figured out some joints that I hadn't thought about before, Chef Six, are you done with your story? ”

"......" Chef Liudao's hands trembled and took the iron plate away from the salmon, "I'm done, I'm sorry, I just lost my temper." ”

"Then let me tell you a little bit more about this story, another angle." Mito paused, "Another possible angle is just the product of my subconscious thinking as a person who writes mystery novels. It's like a hexagoprism,"

"Speak, please."

"So let's start with the biggest lie of the story. The Liudao Ryota, who was just taken away, is actually not the son of your friend who fornicated with his sister-in-law, but is the biological flesh and blood of Liudao Zuozhen. ”

"Poof!"

Nabe Shion squirted out the barley tea in her mouth out of her mouth.

"Aren't there always those well-wishers in the world? Orphans who are not related by blood are carefully cared for and nurtured as their own children, and when they grow up, they also repay their adoptive parents wholeheartedly. ”

"But this sister-in-law wants to turn around, let her husband treat her own son as an adulterous son, and treat the son with all her malice."

"She knows that her husband needs to rely on the power of her mother's family, and she is complacent and conceited and cherishes her feathers, so even if she knows the true identity of her son, she will not announce that the whole world knows it, and she will only pretend to be ignorant on the surface, and secretly abuse her own flesh and blood again and again."

"And that child will also grow up with hatred for his biological father in the midst of repeated atrocities."

"This is the greatest malicious revenge from a woman that lasts more than two decades."
