There was a white cloth hanging on the outside of the red brick house, and it could be seen that it should be a dead person.

The crying never stopped.

Guan Hu and Yingcao walked to the door, glanced inside, and didn't dare to stay longer.

"Sister Guan Hu, has someone died?"

After the two of them walked a long distance, Yingcao asked Guan Hu softly.

"Hmm."

"The photo on the mourning hall is a girl."

"Hmm."

Guan Hu nodded and replied.

The deceased was a girl, and Guan Hu also saw the photo on the mourning hall.

"Let's go back first."

Guan Hu said.

"Sister Guanhu, the girl you said died, could it be the girl that Aunt Ruriko said today?"

"Probably."

After Guan Hu finished speaking, he returned home directly with Yingcao.

In fact, Chiba Prefecture at this time gave people the feeling that it was still a little depressing.

After all, there are dead people, and everyone is more or less evasive.

"You're back."

After Chiba Ruriko saw Guan Hu and Yingcao come back, she walked over to the two of them.

"Well, we just passed by that girl's house."

Guan Hu said.

"Which girl?"

"The girl who was stoned."

On the way back, Guan Hu and Yingcao also heard the villagers talking about the dead girl.

So it was also determined that the identity of the girl was confirmed.

"Did you find any information?"

Guan Hu looked at Chiba Ruriko and Fujiwara Youshi and asked the two of them.

"Nope."

Ruriko Chiba squatted down at the door, and then continued, "I just went to Aunt Suzuki's house and wanted to ask about the second daughter. But Aunt Suzuki told me to leave Chiba Prefecture and said that the second girl was just a legend. ”

"Is it really the same as the other villagers?"

Guan Hu said.

People in Chiba Prefecture say that the second girl has never appeared, and it is normal for Aunt Suzuki to answer like this.

But.

Whether they are hiding it, or whether there is really no second daughter, no one knows.

……

Night came quickly.

The roads in Chiba Prefecture are lit with funeral lights, and the smell of incense envelops the entire prefecture.

At the time of the funeral, the men of the entire village are obligatory. Women, on the other hand, are confined to their own children at home.

This is a custom in Chiba Prefecture.

"I'm so hungry."

Chiba Ruriko hugged her alone and said weakly.

In fact, they haven't eaten for a day, after all, they are cleaning and messaging on their phones during the day.

"Fujiwara Youshi, you go cook."

Ruriko Chiba said.

"Okay."

Fujiwara Youishi was not from Chiba Prefecture, so he did not go to the funeral.

Fujiwara Youshi tied up his apron and began to cook, while Guan Hu and Yingcao helped on the side.

"Brother Youshi seems to be very good at cooking."

Yingcao looked at Fujiwara Youshi and said to him.

"There's no way, Ruriko can't cook, so I went to a cooking training course."

Fujiwara Ukishi replied.

Chiba Ruriko was sitting against the door frame, eating an apple, because it was eaten very slowly, and the place where she had just bitten had turned yellow.

"I'll go to the girl's house."

Ruriko Chiba threw the apple off the wall, then stood up and said to Guanhu and them.

"On the day of the funeral, girls can't go to the deceased's house, right?"

Fujiwara Ukishi said.

"It's okay, you just cook, I'll come back later."

Ruriko Chiba walked out directly and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"It's really willful......"

Fujiwara Youshi said while washing the cabbage. However, it can be seen from his expression that Fujiwara Youshi is a little worried about Chiba Ruriko.

……

The lights on the side of the road spread all the way to the end of the sight, where the dead rested.

The deceased in Chiba Prefecture are all buried on the same mountain.

Chiba Ruriko is walking on the road at the moment, and the girl who died, she does know it.

It's the younger sister of his own class.,In the second year of junior high school in Chiba.,The time of death was the night before yesterday.。

Her death is actually controversial.

Some say she fell on her own and died by hitting a rock. Others say she was stoned to death.

But.

Because there is no clue to prove that she was killed, there is no way for everyone to continue the investigation.

"What a pathetic ......"

Ruriko Chiba sighed softly.

Before she knew it, Ruriko Chiba had already arrived at the girl's house.

"Are you so ruthless that you want your daughter to be buried so inexplicably?"

At the door is a scene of a haggard woman blocking the funeral procession.

"Mie, get out of the way."

A man said.

"I won't get out of the way unless that monster pays for our daughter's life."

"The village has decided to get rid of the pine nuts, so let's finish it. Matsuko and our daughter used to be good friends, and our daughter's death will not have anything to do with Matsuko. ”

The men and women pulled away, and the funeral procession came out, moving on the path filled with lights.

Ruriko Chiba did not go into the girl's house, she was a woman, and she was not allowed to enter the deceased's house while the funeral ceremony was underway.

"Is Matsuko going to be kicked out of the village?"

Ruriko Chiba came to Aunt Suzuki's house and asked Aunt Suzuki.

"Hmm."

"Why?"

"Ruriko, you're still young, and there are a lot of things you don't understand, so don't ask again."

After Aunt Suzuki finished speaking, she went straight to prepare the meal.

"Aunt Suzuki, I've already eaten it, so you don't need to cook for me."

Ruriko Chiba looked at Aunt Suzuki and said to her.

After Chiba Ruriko finished speaking, she went back to her home directly, and when she got home, Fujiwara Youshi and Guan Hu had already prepared a large table of delicious food waiting for her.

"Ruriko, you're not happy?"

Fujiwara Ukishi asked.

When Ruriko went home, she was still in a relatively low mood, and Fujiwara Youshi noticed this at once.

"There's a girl in the village who is going to be kicked out, and Chiba Prefecture seems to be getting weirder and weirder."

Ruriko Chiba said.

"Kicked out?"

"Well, it's a girl named Chiba Matsuko, the same level as the girl who died. I heard that the relationship between the two has always been very good. ”

"Did she do anything?"

"I don't know, Aunt Suzuki won't say."

Ruriko Chiba lay on the table in some frustration, looking tired.

Obviously, for these things that happened in her hometown, Chiba Ruriko still felt a little uncomfortable and powerless.

Dead girls or not,

Girls who are going to be evicted are good.

The appearance of the second girl is also good.

These are all things that make Chiba Ruriko feel difficult to accept, and they are also things that she wants to figure out.
