"Ayako, what's wrong?"

In the lobby of the State Guest House, it seemed that she noticed the strange appearance of Ayako Suzuki behind her, and Shimizu Jing, who had just picked up the unconscious Suzuki Sonoko, looked back suspiciously.

"No, no, nothing...... It's just, it's just a little scared......"

Instantly looking away, Ayako Suzuki subconsciously clenched her hands.

"Don't worry, just get out of here and you'll be fine."

didn't doubt her words, Qing Mizu, who was half-squatting, smiled and comforted, turned his head to look at Suzuki Sonoko in his arms, and was about to wake her up.

"Yes, yes, Jingjun!"

At this moment, she suddenly plucked up her courage, and Ayako Suzuki looked at Shimizu Jing with a smile but a slightly nervous expression, and asked:

"Remember the first time we met?"

"Well, I was almost sent away by the two sisters at the time."

Shimizu Jing smiled, and under the extremely frightened eyes of Suzuki Ayako behind her, she said slowly:

"Of course, the problem at that time was mainly on me, after all, it was I who crossed the street without looking at the red light, and if it wasn't for Ayako, you stepped on the brakes in time, I'm afraid I would have died by then......"

Speaking of this, Qing Shui Jing's eyes dimmed slightly.

How could he be the kind of person who crosses the street and doesn't look at the red light, this kind of non-compliance with traffic rules is generally done more by gin in the organization.

It's just that at that time, she had just experienced something that made him regret it, so she subconsciously ignored her surroundings.

Some blood-colored fragments flashed back to his mind again, and vaguely, Shimizu Jing seemed to see Miyano Akemi's nightmarish eyes staring at him from these memory fragments......

What Qing Shui Jing didn't notice was that after hearing his words, Ayako Suzuki, who was behind him, subconsciously took two steps back, covered her mouth, and a trace of fear appeared in her unbelievable eyes.

This is not because there is anything wrong with Shimizu Shizun's answer, on the contrary, his answer is completely correct.

Her first encounter with Shimizu Jing began on the night of a few months ago, when she was driving her sister home, and when she passed a red light intersection on a small road, she almost knocked Shimizu Jing, who looked lost at the time......

But it was precisely because of Shizuzu's correct answer that Suzuki Ayako was even more frightened.

The tiny crack on his face, which looked like a "wound", undoubtedly indicated that the fiancé in front of her was wearing a disguised mask.

Suzuki Ayako thought that Shimizu Jing had been transferred by someone after leaving the lobby of the State Guest House before, so she wanted to use what she said just now to test the truth.

After all, the scene of their first meeting, apart from the two of them, was only known to Sonoko Suzuki, who was also present at the time.

If Qing Shui Jing in front of him can't answer, or answers incorrectly, it proves that he must be an impostor.

But Qing Shui Jing replied without hesitation.

What does this mean is that the accomplice of this "fake" in front of her has seized her fiancé and tortured him about what happened between them for some purpose?

Or is this fiancé of hers already transferred at some point in the relationship between the two?

Or, is it Shimizu Jing who is wearing a mask and dating her from the beginning?

Either way, it made Ayako Suzuki feel a chill down her spine, and the fiancé in front of her, who she originally knew, seemed to be suddenly covered with a deep fog that she couldn't see clearly.

Ayako Suzuki has not been without this suspicion before.

Shimizu Jing is indeed very good, but during the relationship between the two, he will suddenly "disappear" from time to time, during which people can't be contacted, and the phone can't get through, although Shimizu Jing will explain to her afterwards, but if this situation is only occasional, and the number of times is too much, Suzuki Ayako will inevitably be suspicious.

It's just because Shizu Shizu has always been extremely considerate to her that Suzuki Ayako didn't think much about these places.

In addition, when the two lived together, Qing Mizuki not only never touched her, but even wore thick pajamas when she slept, and always avoided having very close contact with her.

Suzuki Ayako always thought that this was Shimizu Shizun's conservative personality and was unwilling to make a transgressive behavior before she actually married her, after all, Shimizu Shizune was usually the kind of man who looked a little rigid with honorific titles for everyone except her and Sonoko.

There are also Shizu Shizu's parents, in the past, whenever Ayako Suzuki asked to see his parents, Shimizu Shizune would always be cleverly prevaricated for various reasons......

This pile of suspicions, which had been consciously or unintentionally detected by Ayako Suzuki in the past, were now all rushing towards her like a tide, repeatedly washing over her brain and making her heart numb.

"Brother-in-law?"

At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko, who was originally unconscious, was also awakened by Shimizu Jing.

She had just woken up, she opened her eyes in a daze, looked at Qing Shui Jing in front of her, and after being puzzled for a while, remembering what happened in the hall before she fell unconscious, she couldn't help but hug Qing Shui Jing and cry.

"Wow! Brother-in-law! There was an explosion here, and the ceiling suddenly collapsed, and a lot of people died, and I thought, I thought ......."

"Okay, don't worry, you're fine."

Patting her on the shoulder, Qing Shui Jing pulled her to her feet.

"Uh, I knew, I was thinking about whether something would happen again today, and it really happened......"

Perhaps crying too sadly, Suzuki Sonoko didn't notice the slender crack on the underside of Shimizu's cheek.

"I've been encountering all this mess every time I go out lately, and I'm definitely being targeted by death......"

"No, there is no such thing as a god of death in this world." Qing Shui Jing comforted helplessly, raised his hand and touched her head.

"Even if there really is, it can't be Ling who is targeted by death, after all, you haven't done anything wrong......"

"Woo, but ......"

"Okay, wipe away your tears, or when your friend wakes up, he'll see you crying, you know?"

"Hmmm......"

Helping Suzuki Sonoko wipe away the tears from his face, Shimizu Jing turned around and walked towards the unconscious Maori father and daughter on the ground on the other side.

His reassuring look and tone of voice were like a real brother.

"Sister, you're not hurt, are you?"

Rubbing her eyes, Sonoko Suzuki walked towards Ayako Suzuki, who was standing behind.

"Well, it's okay......"

And Suzuki Ayako hugged her, but her eyes were still on Shizuzu, who was walking towards the Maori father and daughter.

Looking at him, who had already crouched down and was about to wake up the Maori father and daughter, the look of hesitation and struggle in Suzuki Ayako's eyes flashed one after another.
