Diary of a Coconut

July 26th

Today, this salesman named Murakami moved into my house with his family. They recklessly broke into the home where I grew up, looking like it belonged to them, and changed some of the details I had carefully arranged in the home beyond recognition. I also cut down the persimmon tree that had been planted in the garden before I was born, and the cherry blossom tree where "Little Black" was buried underneath.

July 30th

These people in the Murakami family dared to tear down the flower beds I made when I was in elementary school and uproot the entire blueberry tree I planted in middle school.

August 4th

The Murakami family is my enemy! These guys look happy all day long, and I am disgusted to watch. It is because of these people who monopolize happiness that happiness will not favor me!

……

Kamio walked into the hospital in a state of desperation and yawned profusely.

His family lives far away, and he is on the night shift these days, so he simply makes do with a few nights in the single dormitory of the police station.

Maybe it's because he's been so tired lately that he's having auditory hallucinations or something, and he always feels like he's hearing a "bang" when he sleeps...... Boom...... The knock on the door of the ...... echoed repeatedly in the empty dormitory, and it was a little hollow.

But if you really open the door, there will never be anyone.

The noise was so loud that he didn't sleep comfortably for two days.

And Iizuka This kid doesn't know why, he hasn't come to work for two days, his phone is always unanswered, and no one knocks on the door in the dormitory next door.

But a while ago, I heard that kid said that he had a girlfriend in his hometown, and he was going to come to Tokyo to see him in the near future.

It won't be long before he moves out of the bachelor's dormitory next door.

While thinking about it, Kamio inquired about Nobuyuki Suzuki's hospital room.

Pushing the door in, in addition to Nobuyuki Suzuki and his aunt, there was also a middle-aged man who looked very weak, sitting on the edge of the hospital bed with a sad face.

No one spoke in the ward, except for the occasional sigh, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

Nobuyuki sat on the bed, unresponsive to the sound of Kamio opening the door and coming in, his head lowered, his black hair just enough to cover his eyes, holding an old-looking rag doll in his hand, his arms swaying slightly, and his mouth humming softly.

He was a good-looking boy, and with such movements, he really looked like a woman who was putting her baby to sleep.

"Is it okay to believe? Did the doctor say what was going on? The more Kamio looked at it, the more strange he felt, and he opened his mouth to break the silence.

The middle-aged man saw the police officer's ID presented by Shenwei, walked over quickly, bowed, and said politely: "Hello officer, I'm Nobuyuki's father, Tatsuya Suzuki, I happened to be working overtime that night, so I'm sorry for you!" ”

Hibiki also got up and said hello: "Officer Kamio has worked hard, didn't Officer Iizuka come?" ”

"Ah, Iizuka has taken a leave of absence for the past two days. I really can't see it.,Xinzhi is so old and still likes to play with rag dolls? Kamio put away his papers and went to the bedside to observe Nobuyuki carefully, but he still held the doll by himself and did not look up.

"Well, I don't know what's wrong, I haven't reacted to the movements of the outside world since that night, and I won't agree to him." Tatsuya followed, sighing and saying, "And I don't know where he found this rag doll, and he didn't let go of it all day long, he obviously didn't like to play with these when he was a child." ”

"Have you done a check? What about the hospital's conclusion? ”

"After checking all of them, the doctor said that the physical indicators were normal, and it was probably because of great stimulation, causing the brain to temporarily block information from the outside world."

"And when will it be restored?"

"Doctors can't say for sure."

Kamio was holding a small notebook, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he just saw the rag doll in Nobuyuki's hand and his eyes moved, as if he was glancing at him.

"Do any of you know what happened when Nobuyuki was home alone that night?"

"I was working at the company at the time, and because I've been busy lately, Nobuyuki is often home alone at night, and he's quite used to it." Tatsuya replied seriously, "I also went home to check, and I didn't find anything different except for the broken TV." ”

Hibiki also tried to recall, and said, "When Mr. Qi and I arrived, Mr. Qi was the young man you saw last time, and he was lying in front of the TV, and it looked like he was watching TV as usual. But at that time, the TV was already a snowflake screen. ”

"By the way, this Mr. Qi is not Japanese, right? Where does he live? ”

"He is from China, and I heard that he has been writing in Tokyo for the past few years. He had just bought one of our company's properties, just outside of Tokyo, and the address was here. Tatsuya used a piece of apple wrapping paper to write the address to Kamio.

Kamio took the address and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment.

It's the evil house that I discussed with Iizuka a few days ago.

……

Kamio returned to the bureau, thinking about the house all the time.

Is there a connection between the Saeki family, the Kobayashi family, the Murakami family and the current Suzuki Nobuyuki?

He wanted to discuss it again with Iizuka to see if it was necessary to conduct an in-depth investigation of the house.

Thinking of this, he simply got up and walked towards the dormitory building in the bureau.

It's been more than two days since he left his job, and it's time for this kid to come back.

"Iizuka! Iizuka are you absent? Kamio banged loudly on the door, but no one answered.

He stood in the doorway, figuring out a cigarette and lighting it, a little angry at the lack of news from Iizuka. No matter where you go, you should also talk to your partner, this is the most basic common sense!

Calls to Iizuka's mobile phone are still unanswered.

Just as he was about to hang up, he suddenly felt as if a cell phone was ringing somewhere, faintly, but undoubtedly nearby.

With his ears pricked up to carefully discern the direction of the sound, his gaze moved slowly, and finally stopped at the door of Iizuka's dormitory.

One more call was made, and it was determined that the ringtone was coming from inside the door.

Phone in the dorm?

Where is the Iizuka people?

An ominous premonition rose in Kamio's heart, and he immediately ran to the logistics department and retrieved the key to Iizuka's dormitory from the colleague who managed the dormitory.

"Iizuka! I'm Kamio, if you don't speak, I'm going to open the door and come in! ”

Kamio yells, then uses the key to unlock the door.

This room is in the back of the sun, and there is no light on at this time, which is particularly dark.

Kamio squinted his eyes and used to it for a while. When he saw the situation inside the house, the old policeman, who had seen many corpses in his life, was frightened and his back was cold and his scalp was numb.

He knows what the knock he hears every night is!
