The layout of the apartment is somewhat similar to that of Liuxia Apartment, which is 20 square meters larger than the rental house where I live, and has 2 more bedrooms.

Three bedrooms and one living room, Yasuko Ozawa and her sister each have a room, and their parents have a room, as for their brother, because he basically doesn't go home, so when he rents out the house, his father doesn't consider leaving him a room, and if he comes back from vacation, he will send him back to his hometown to live.

"My sister participates in club activities, and I'll be back a little later today, Yasuko."

Mrs. Ozawa spoke softly to her eldest daughter and instructed Yasuko to entertain her guests.

Yasuko Ozawa bowed her head, "Okay, Mom, do we need to wait for her for dinner?" ”

"No need, there is a guest today, we can just leave some dishes for her."

Mrs. Ozawa smiled and exchanged a few words with Shirakawa before entering the kitchen and continuing to prepare for dinner.

Shirakawa and Yasuko Ozawa were sitting in the living room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

At this point in time, Yasuko Ozawa's father was still working at the bank and did not return home.

There were no sofas in the apartment, they sat on a futon with a boxy wooden table in front of them.

Yasuko Ozawa suddenly realized something, she got up, lifted a self-standing fan from the room, plugged it in, turned on the fan button, and moved the fan blades in the direction of Shirakawa,

"Kuraki-kun, do you feel cooler?"

"Well, it's much better, thank you, Ozawa-san."

Bai Chuan smiled and nodded, in fact, his current physique is resistant to cold and heat, and this temperature is nothing.

Yasuko Ozawa did not let her guard down because of this, and after setting up the fan, she trotted to the kitchen again and asked her mother if she had prepared fruit.

She was afraid that because of her poor hospitality, Shirakawa would have an unpleasant dinner today.

Fortunately, Mrs. Ozawa knows her daughter well, and since it is the first time she has brought a friend to the door, it proves that she is a very important friend.

Mrs. Ozawa handed the cut watermelon to Yasuko Ozawa.

"Thank you, Mom!"

Yasuko Ozawa's eyes bent into a crescent shape, bowed vigorously to her mother, and carefully took the plate, walked out of the kitchen, walked to Shirakawa's side with broken steps, and put a plate of watermelons on the wooden table.

"Kuraki-kun, let's eat watermelon."

Entertaining guests with watermelons is considered an ordinary hospitality.

Shirakawa remembered that when he went to Yano Shinmi's house, Yano's mother also prepared watermelon for everyone, and cut it into such small pieces, which is probably the national condition of the island country.

Shirakawa, who used to hold half a watermelon and nibble on it alone, has now learned this very gentle way to eat.

He picked up a quarter-palm-sized piece of fan-shaped watermelon on his plate and took a bite.

"It's very sweet, Yasuko, you can eat it too."

"I'm not thirsty."

Yasuko Ozawa wants to save the best for her benefactor, so she pours herself a glass of water and imagines herself eating watermelon while drinking.

Shirakawa found that the girl was really sensible and distressing.

He picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Yasuko Ozawa, "Eat, it's not fragrant to eat anything alone." ”

"Huh?"

Yasuko Ozawa hesitated for two seconds, but still caught the watermelon.

Because if you refuse, it will make the other person feel embarrassed.

She took a small bite of the watermelon, her eyes lit up slightly,

"I really still have to eat watermelon in summer, it feels cooler than blowing a fan."

"Yasuko, do you want to consider transferring? I can ask a friend to help. ”

Shirakawa looked at Yasuko, who was immersed in the happiness of eating melons, and suddenly asked.

Yasuko Ozawa shook her head, although she also wanted to start over, but what about after the transfer? Can her character really make friends she likes at other schools? Or as always, spend high school with someone you don't like? Then there is no point in transferring schools, right?

Besides, this is also a hassle for Kuraki-kun's friends.

Yasuko Ozawa is not a person who likes to trouble others.

Bai Chuan bowed slightly, changed the topic, pointed to the family photo on the TV cabinet and said,

"Yasuko's parents seem to be very nice people."

"Yes, Mom and Dad are good people."

When Yasuko Ozawa said this, her expression suddenly darkened.

Next to the family portrait, there is another group photo.

Yasuko Ozawa's mother was also among them, and the man standing next to her mother was probably Yasuko Ozawa's father, who put his hand on Mrs. Ozawa's shoulder because he was very close.

The people in the photo are all wearing uniform red vests, like a group of volunteers.

Since Shirakawa had good eyesight, he could see the logo they were wearing.

Alice Mutual Aid badge.

Worried that he had misunderstood, Shirakawa stood up and took a closer look.

"Yasuko, when did this uncle and aunt take it? Are they volunteers with Alice Mutual Aid? ”

"This was taken half a year ago, and Mom and Dad are members of Alice's Mutual Aid Association."

Yasuko Ozawa replied.

She's not talking about members, she's members!

Could this be the reason why all the people in the [Human Death] Association are dead, and only Yasuko Ozawa and another woman are still alive?

The other woman, is it related to Alice's Mutual Aid Society?

Shirakawa looked at Yasuko Ozawa in surprise.

Yasuko Ozawa thought she had eaten the watermelon seeds to her mouth, and wiped them nervously.

"What do aunts and uncles do in the mutual aid society?"

Shirakawa looked at the photo and asked in a nonchalant tone.

Yasuko Ozawa recalled for a moment and said uncertainly,

"Mom used to be a psychiatrist, and she should be responsible for counseling the psychology of members, but Dad's words don't have a specific position, he is busy with his work, and he will occasionally be responsible for recruiting new members."

Yasuko Ozawa spoke of her parents' responsibilities in general terms, with mixed emotions in her eyes, including admiration and adoration, as well as loss and caution.

It's like the look on her face when she says that Mom and Dad are good people.

Shirakawa guessed that maybe it was because his parents were good people in the eyes of others, but unfortunately his daughter was bullied, but no one reached out at all.

Of course, this is related to the education that Yasuko Ozawa has received since childhood, to be a person who does not cause trouble to others, does not cause trouble and burden to others, is kind to others, and forgives everything.

His parents are most likely also such a pleasing personality, so they will educate their children like this, but they don't know how much harm this kind of education has brought to their daughter.

Even if he was bullied, he always struggled to support himself.

Shirakawa began to observe this group photo, a total of 8 people,

From left to right, there are short-haired women with beautiful appearances, Mrs. Ozawa and Mr. Ozawa, blonde men with high appearance, brown-haired women with thin and sweet appearance, but old, Sven men with black-rimmed glasses and indifferent eyes, middle-aged men with a cute smile and slightly chubby body, and young men with short stature and thin body with unhealthy complexions.

Wait, why does this woman in the middle look familiar?

Although Shirakawa is not a genius of the memorable type, he belongs to the type that remembers the people and things he cares about very well.

He took out his phone and flipped through the photos that Miko Ueo had sent to him earlier.

That's right, the first woman is the same person as the woman in the photo, but the hairstyle is different.

In the group photo, this thin, sweet-looking, but elderly brown-haired woman is Miko Ageo's biological mother!

It seems to be getting more complicated.

A student who committed suicide, a [Human Death] Friendship Association, a girl with a twisted mind, a book by the writer's wife, Alice Mutual Aid Society, Miko Ueo's biological mother, the mysterious 20th person, and 7 people in the group photo.

What's the secret? What is the connection?

Why did the number of deaths increase exponentially the first time when it was 6 and the second time? Will there be a third time?

Is there really an instigator behind this? What's the point of such instigation?

One question after another appeared in Shirakawa's mind, like butterflies scattered all over the place, flashing their wings, but never finding the right place, resulting in a layer of impenetrable fog in front of him.

Now he has two options, the first is to take the photo and let the Blackstone Police Department investigate.

If he doesn't want to, he will directly go to Matsuyama's old classmate, the top boss of the Blackstone Police Department, to deal with it.

The second is to use the identification technique yourself.

All things considered, the results of the identification technique are faster and more accurate than the efficiency of the police department, and they only need to consume their own mental power.

"Yasuko, do you have coffee at home?"

"Yes, Dad usually likes to drink coffee, Kuraki-kun, wait a minute, I'll make you coffee."

Yasuko Ozawa guessed that Shirakawa should want to drink coffee, so she asked in a special way, so she ran to her father's bedroom to get a coffee canist.

Shirakawa began to identify the people in the photograph one by one.

The first, of course, is Miko Ueo's mother.

Daughter Miko Ueo, a famous beautiful writer in the depths of her scheming, and the pearl of Tokyo's rich wife circle.

When she was 15 years old, she met her colleague Keisuke Inamura, who was 5 years older than her, and the two quickly fell in love and lived together.

In the process of a deception, she met Shigejiro Miwa, who took a fancy to her talent and asked her to follow her to study abroad, but she refused Shigejiro Miwa's invitation because of her pregnancy.

At the age of 17, Keisuke Inamura was arrested, broke up with her, and handed over her newly born child to a welfare home, intending to turn herself in, but met Shigejiro Miwa again.

Shigejiro Miwa brought her to Italy, where she was re-educated and nurtured, making her the best scammer she could be.

At the age of 20, in order to thank Shigejiro Miwa for his kindness, he volunteered to become his lover.

Since then, he has followed Shigejiro Miwa to carry out high-end fraud in overseas countries, targeting top rich people and making a lot of money.

At the age of 30, Shigejiro Miwa was arrested and all his assets were confiscated.

Keisuke Inamura wanted her to continue to be his lover, and after refusing, he put him under house arrest and exchanged for a year before the two resumed their relationship.

Since then, with her brilliant brain and experience, she has helped Keisuke Inamura transform the Alice Mutual Aid from a small fraud gang into a cult disguised as charity.

Although she is only a cadre and branch president of the mutual aid association in name, she actually controls the real power of the mutual aid association.

Keisuke Inamura relies on her very much and will consult her on everything.

When she returned to the island country at the age of 39, she wanted to find her daughter very much because she could no longer have children, but unfortunately, she couldn't find any information about her daughter, and since then, her personality has become very extreme.
