Chapter 64: Cross-examination
When Sato woke up in the hospital bed, I was sitting on the edge of her bed napping, the early summer sun shining on my body, warm and comfortable, a lazy feeling of burnout welled up in my heart, and I fell asleep before I knew it.
"Ahra, what an incompetent caretaker. A teasing voice came to my ears and woke me up from my sleep. When I opened my eyes, I saw Sato sitting on the bed, tilting his head to look at me, the corners of his mouth with a slight curvature, his eyes soft, and his pale face with a hint of sickly flush.
"Ah, are you awake?" I rubbed my sleepy eyes and was about to get up, "I'll call the doctor." β
"No need, I know my body, just take a break, there's no big problem. Sato grinned reluctantly and smiled.
"Oh, forget it," I scratched my head at Sato's words and sat down again.
"Takagi-kun...... When is the funeral?" After a long silence, Sato suddenly opened his mouth and asked me, "I want to ...... Go and send him ......"
"Huh?"
"Don't play any white lies with me, I'm not a child," Sato smiled at me, as if trying to prove it to me, "He's already killed in the line of duty, right?"
"No, he ......"
"I don't mean anything else, after all, my colleague has been doing me for so long, and he has helped me a lot before, so it's also appropriate to go and see her at the end......" As if afraid that I would misunderstand, before I could speak, Sato hurriedly said a lot.
"Well, Takagi will cry when he hears it......" I sighed.
"Well, we have no chance in this life, I hope he can be reborn into a good family. Sato nodded in agreement. Is the topic unconsciously distorted?
"No, I think his family is pretty good now. I hurriedly waved my hand, trying to turn the tide of this weird topic.
"Yes, it's a pity that his parents raised him for so many years, but he died so early......" It's obvious that Sato misunderstood what I meant.
"No, I mean to say ......"
"I understand, you're worried that I can't stand it, but it's okay, I'm used to it, since I was a child, as long as it's someone I cherish, it will always disappear suddenly, and so is my father, and so ......is Takagi" Sato's feelings began to slowly become low as the words began, but then he seemed to be excited, and he looked up at me and smiled: "But don't underestimate me, I'm very strong!"
"No, you're mistaken, I mean Officer Takagi didn't ......" I hurriedly interjected.
"Eun, I understand that Takagi did not die in vain, his sacrifice was glorious, and he interpreted the sacred profession of the police with his actions. Sato interrupted me again: "So you didn't have to knock me out at the time, but thank you for caring so much about me." Sato's smile at the moment was like an angel......
I took it, I really took it, how could I not have Sato have such a powerful ability to distort the facts before, and the heroic Takagi-kun was actually wiped out by Sato lightly in these few words.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about my body?" Seeing that I looked frustrated and didn't move for a long time, Sato was a little strange, but then suddenly realized: "It's okay, my body is very good! I must be able to go to Takagi's funeral." β
"So, when exactly is Takagi's funeral?" Sato looked at me inquiringly, hiding the sadness in his eyes well.
"Finally it's my turn to say?" I looked up speechlessly and looked at Sato's smiling face, "If I said that Takagi didn't die, wouldn't you be happier?"
"Uh, eh, you're not dead?!" Hearing my words, Sato was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I hate it, I said don't play white lies with me......"
"I'm serious!" I looked into Sato's eyes seriously, "Do you look like I'm joking?"
Sato was stunned, and the atmosphere at the scene froze.
"No?!!!" In the stalemate between me and Sato looking at each other, the door of the ward was suddenly opened, and a policewoman dressed as a traffic police officer rushed to us like a gust of wind, and shouted at us with a fuss: "Xiaohui actually confessed to Miwako?!!! this is really explosive news!! do you want to play sister and brother love?!But the age difference is too much, right?!Oh, no, no, the so-called height is not a problem, age is not distance, as long as there is love, everything is a floating cloud! I'm rooting for you!!" Before Sato and I could react, the policewoman crackled and said a lot, and put on a look of "Long live understanding".
Hey, aren't you tangled up in "taking a screenshot" of my conversation with Sato? Why does a normal conversation inexplicably turn into dialogue when it comes to your mouth?
"Ah, I didn't expect that although Xiaohui looks like a little child, his mind is so mature! He is so serious about Miwako! Could it be that there is really love in this world?!" Yumi Miyamoto has completely reveled in the world of self-delusion.
"Yumi, why are you here?" After a long time, Sato's sluggish brain finally turned around a little more, and he pointed to Yumi Miyamoto who was babbling there in a daze.
"I hate it, aren't we good friends?My good friend is sick, how can I not come to visit?" Yumi touched Sato's face in a funny way, and said with affection in her eyes: "Only at this moment can the sincere friendship between friends be reflected!" In other words, judging from Yumi Miyamoto's movements, eyes, and tone now, this is already more friendship at all, and I can even see the lily flowers blooming brightly...... This is already a petty crime, right?
"However, what I didn't expect was that Miwako actually had a boyfriend and didn't tell me, which really worried my good friend......" Miyamoto Yumi made a sad look and said, "Sure enough, if you have a man......, you forget your friends?"
"Stop me! What a mess! What a boyfriend!" Sato finally reacted and slapped Yumi on the head hard: "What are you talking nonsense?!
"What?!For the sake of his underground relationship, he did not hesitate to kill people and kill his childhood sweetheart?" Yumi sobbed "weeping".
Sato and I don't mess around with her like this, it's already full of black lines.
"Can't you be serious, Yumi?" Sato looked at Yumi weakly.
"Also, what do you mean by 'brave Shang'" I covered my forehead with a headache and said, "There is nothing between us at all, don't say that I seem to be interested in Sato." β
"Eh, do you still have to hide it now? I hate it, anyway, I already know, it's useless to hide it!" Yumi nodded my head playfully, and then grabbed me violently, rubbing my face desperately: "Ah~ Sure enough, the more you look at it, the cuter it gets! It's a pity that Miwako took the lead, damn it, it would be nice if I could raise a Xiaohui......
Me: "......"
"Then, I'll go out and buy some drinks, and I'll be back in a while!" Yumi said as she let me go, ran to the door and turned back to me, "If Miwako doesn't want you, you can come to your sister! As he spoke, he hummed a little song and ran out with a "da-da-da".
Me: "......" I can now understand why Sato and Yumi can become close friends......
"Did she treat me as a pet just now, and still want to 'get one'?" I asked stiffly, turning to Sato.
"Sa~ Who knows?" "Hey, don't turn your head, look at me!!
"Sure enough, like gathers like. β
"What do you mean by what you just said?!, "Don't say it, I seem to be interested in Sato??, am I not attractive?!" Sato, who had no way out of my forced gaze, suddenly shouted at me in annoyance.
"Come on, I'm still a kid, I don't know anything......" I said stupidly.
"Kid, huh, you?" Sato squinted at me.
Silent. I don't want to admit it, but I can't deny it. The atmosphere cooled down again.
Half a day.
"Takagi, are you really not dead?" Sato said softly, looking out the window. Maybe it's because of the beauty of the love xΓΉ that infected Sato, who finally remembered what I just said again, and now seems to believe it a little.
"Well, I wanted to say it a long time ago, but you never gave me a chance. I nodded and handed the phone to her: "Make a call, or you won't be at ease, right?"
"Hmm. Sato nodded and took the phone: "Hey, Takagi-kun? I'm Sato." Well, I'm fine, are you okay?...... Okay, you have a good rest, goodbye. After a few minutes, Sato exhaled with a sigh of relief, hung up the phone, turned to me and smiled, "Thank you, Xiaohui." Sato's smile at this time was no longer as pale and desperate as it was just now, but it was full of bright vitality, and even the entire ward seemed to have become much brighter because of Sato's smile.
"Trust me now, huh?"
"Hmm. β
"Actually, it's a shame you didn't wake up last night. I picked up an apple from the fruit basket at the bedside and sliced it with a knife.
"Why?" Sato looked at me puzzled.
"You don't know, last night this place was almost stuffed with police, almost every department of the Tokyo Police Station had people coming, and Shiratori was even more undressed to guard you all night, and you left at dawn in the morning. I just hope you can wake up yesterday. β
"They all care about me so much, what a bunch of good people. Sato smiled happily: "Then I'll give them a call to report their safety now." "Is it a good person card?
"Ah, that doesn't have to be, because it's useless after yesterday. I smiled and handed the apple in my hand to Sato: "Here." β
"Ah, thank you. Sato took the apple and took a bite, and said vaguely, "Why did you say that it was useless yesterday?"
"Because the first thing the princess saw when she woke up was not that they were princes and were guarding them here. β
"What do you mean?"
"Forget it, when I didn't say it. "Tell Sato this, my brain is really funny, this woman doesn't have anything in her head that belongs to a woman.
"It's really inexplicable," Sato gave me a strange look, and said, "But thank you for coming to see me, you know Yumi, don't you have to go to school today?"
"I met and met Yumi's sister at the door of the ward, you don't have to worry about going to school, it seems that the school board of directors has a heavy meeting today, and the school is all in self-study, and I have already asked for leave. I snorted. School is important, but my own life seems to be more important.
"Well, I'm here to see you, but there's one more thing......" I said to Sato.
"What's the matter?" Sato tilted his head to look at me.
"That...... Although Takagi didn't die, you know, I stunned you that day for your own good, so ...... "Even if I don't look up, I can feel Sato's increasingly oppressive gaze."
"Ah, there's still this thing!" was silent for a long time, and Sato's sudden words almost made me fall headlong on the bed......!
"That ......" I looked at Sato cautiously.
"In that case, for your honesty's sake, I won't care anymore. I was just relieved to hear Sato's words, only to hear Sato say again, "You can come and help me move as an apology." β
"Huh?"
......
Sato didn't actually have any injuries, but at that moment he thought that Takagi had died of a fire, and he suddenly fainted under the anger of his heart, so he lay in the hospital for a day, and in the evening, he went through the procedures for discharge.
I have been to Sato's original home, and this time she is going to move from that small room to a nearby white-collar apartment with slightly better conditions, it is said that it is because she cracked the old backlog case this time, and she is very happy, and a lot of bonuses have come down, and even her salary has risen a lot, so she has to change to a better living environment.
"As for the furniture, it's all ready-made, so you just need to help me move some personal things. Sato said to me, who was being wrapped and pressed so hard that I couldn't see my face while holding a few bags.
"You're using child labor, aren't you? You're breaking the law, aren't you? Hey, as a detective, is it really good for you to do this?" I said with difficulty as I carried my things.
"There's no way, Yumi said that Shibuya limited edition cosmetics are on sale today, Takagi is lying in the hospital now, Shiratori is a little embarrassed, and Chiba-kun is not very familiar, so I can only look for you," Sato counted them one by one with his fingers, and finally said to me: "Hey, manly man, don't worry about it, right?"
"Actually, I've been wanting to ask for a long time, have you been deliberately ignoring my age? I'm only a seven-year-old child!" I looked at Sato dissatisfied. Chronological age, well, don't care......
"Ah, it seems like that's really what you say. Sato covered his mouth and bent down to look at me in surprise like a new big 6: "Yes, why, even though I'm just a child, I always subconsciously treat you as a peer." It's puzzling......"
No, I'm not your peer, even if I'm not small......
"Well, what's the matter, boy, what's wrong with taking care of a little girl? "I have to say, Sato's nerves are really strong, and strong things are usually very thick...... Ahem, I didn't say anything......
"Huh~ That's all, right?" I put a mountain-like thing on the tatami mat of the new house, and sat softly on the ground against the wall.
"Ahra, can't you do it so much?" Sato looked at me defiantly.
"A little, that's not a little problem anymore, is it?" I gasped, pointing to the hill.
"I think you have a lot of strength, especially when you were in Mr. Bian Dongtian, your strength is not lost to adults. Sato said with his face on his hands.
"Was that a blast?" I said, rolling my eyes.
"That's how you explained when you caught the prisoner who hurt people continuously?"
β...... Exploded again. β
......
"Thank you so much this time, I'm going to have to run back and forth several times. Three hours later, Sato sat on the sand and fanned the wind with his hands. It turned out that the old fan fell apart on its own when we moved, and if you want to buy a new one, you have to wait until tomorrow.
After tidying up the new house, Sato left me behind, made a pot of tea, and said that he would invite me to dinner tonight to express his gratitude to me. This time the room is much better than the previous one, not only the room has become a lot bigger, but also the room layout, location and lighting are very good, and the rent is not expensive.
"Well, you don't need to eat, as long as you don't deliberately retaliate against me for knocking you out in the future. I chuckled and quietly moved out. I've always felt that Sato left me a little ill-intentioned, and although it was just a gut feeling and there was no evidence, my instincts were always accurate.
"No, no, no, it must be, let you work so hard, so you can not express your gratitude. The smile on Sato's face made me even more uneasy.
The disturbing dinner passed in my care.
"Well, I have something to ask you. "For dinner, Sato knelt on the tatami mat, straightened up, and looked very serious at me.
I swallowed nervously, "Come on, come on." "I think that the righteous men of ancient times should be in a similar mood to me now when they were about to be killed.
"The man...... It's the big brother you said, I want to know what you know. Sato stared at me with unusually serious eyes.
"Huh?" Listening to Sato's question, I frowned, and my heart sobered up in an instant: "You have only met him once, why do you have to chase him?"
"Hmm? Did I mention that I had only met him once? How did you know?" Sato's eyes suddenly sharpened as he looked at me.
"Well, he sued me. I turned my head uncomfortably. This woman, when it comes to reasoning, her brain becomes extremely clear, it's not easy to fool......
"Oh, he even told you about such a trivial matter, is your relationship very close?" Sato's oppressive momentum intensified.
"It's okay......"
"Is he Chinese? What does he do?"
"I don't know. β
"What is the purpose of his coming to Japan, and where is he now?"
"I don't know. β
"How does he usually communicate with him, and what are his preferences?"
"I don't know. β
"Bang!" Sato slammed the table and forced him to look at me: "Hey, you did it on purpose, aren't you a little sincere?!"
"Officer Sato, are you intimidating, or are you trying to extract a confession?" I picked up a toothpick and picked my teeth absently.
"Xiaohui, you have eaten my food too, haven't you heard the phrase "cannibalism?" Sato's face changed, and he immediately changed his strategy, trying to get information about "Ling Xiao" out of my mouth.
However, this is impossible, because in this world, there is no such person as "Ling Xiao", and even if she uses her police authority, she will not be able to find this person. I'm afraid she's already aware of this, so she's trying to use me as a breakthrough point. But the only thing that puzzles me is why Sato is so obsessed with "Ling Xiao", who has only one side.
Could it be that I suddenly became angry and made Sato fall in love at first sight?,Impossible?,Just think about it.,If I really had that kind of bug-like thing like the male protagonist in the dog-blood animation.,Xiao Wai would have been taken down by me a long time ago.,I don't have to remain a virgin until now.γ
"Well, officer, your cooking tastes good! You'll be a good wife in the future." "I'm deliberately.
"Xiaohui. Sato looked at me strangely.
"Huh?"
"Honestly, weren't you a bad boy before, did you go to the police station?" Sato looked at me suspiciously.
"Well, I did, but it was from a previous life.
"You give me the same feeling now as those bad teenagers I once tried, slippery and unsparing, it's really infuriating. Sato clenched his fists, and the veins on his head jumped. It looked like my rambling was running out of patience.
"Sister Miwako," I put away my cynical attitude and looked at her seriously: "I really can't say, I don't know anything, I don't know why you have to find him, but I still have to advise you, give up, he is not from this world, there will be no more intersections between you, never." β
"Yes...... Is that so?" Sato sat there dumbfounded.
"Can you tell me why you're looking for him? Maybe I can help you. I asked Sato softly. If I knew why, I could have found a way to get her to give up.
"Why?" Sato smiled bitterly, "I don't know." β
"Huh?" Now I'm really confused, should I say that this woman is inexplicable? I don't even know the reason, so I'm desperately trying to find someone.
"Or else...... Tell me your number, maybe he'll see it, and maybe call you. Looking at the deep loss on Sato's face, I opened my mouth in a ghostly way, and by the time I reacted, the words had already been spoken. Alas, sure enough, beautiful women are woe......
"Really?!" Sato's eyes lit up when he heard this, he stood up suddenly, and said to me urgently, "Will he call me?!Are you sure?!"
"Ahem, I just said maybe, maybe......" I said with a feigned cough. It's impossible to see her in real person, and it's still okay to change your voice and make a phone call.
"I know, I know," I mean, maybe, but Sato didn't seem to mind at all, and happily copied a copy of his cell phone number to me, "Then please, you must pass it on to him!"
When I came out of Sato's house, it was already past nine o'clock at night. I stood downstairs, looked at the lights upstairs, looked down at the note with Sato's mobile phone number written on it, and sighed: "If I sell this to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, I probably won't have to worry about living expenses in the future......"
