[Net King] Daily life of snake essence disease

I was taken back to the police station, not only because I was one of the discoverers of the body, but also because the police dug up a blood-stained glass ashtray in the soil not far from my stepfather's body. Out of my stepfather's DNA and my fingerprints.

In other words, I was regarded by the police as a suspect in the murder of my stepfather.At this moment, I am sitting in the inquiry room being investigated by the police.I don't know if it was to create a compelling atmosphere, the curtains in the inquiry room were all drawn without leaving any gaps. It was clearly late at night, but there was only a dimly lit chandelier in the room.The chandelier flickered above my head, and the flickering light cast long and short shadows on the white wall opposite.It occurred to me that there was a similar chandelier in the apartment that had been destroyed by the fire.I was terrified that it would eventually fall and blow my head off.

"Hey! Name!"

I closed and opened my eyes as if waking up from a dream, and what caught my eyes was the face of a fierce man in front of me.Instinctively afraid, I announced my name in a voice not much louder than a mosquito.

"Three pools are really red."

Who knew, that man suddenly became furious, pointed at my nose and cursed:

"Warning, stop pretending to be crazy!"

As the man said, he kicked the table hard.His chair kicked back with a long clatter, and for a split second the violently shaking table hit my knee.A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on my head, and the pain was excruciating.

I don't know what I said wrong.But the man decided that I was unwilling to cooperate. After cursing for a while, he simply left me alone in the inquiry room.

Just like that, I was the only one left in the cramped and narrow space, and the flickering chandelier was swaying above my head, and I didn’t know when it would fall and smash my head.

I don't remember how I fell asleep. When I got up from the table the next day, I just felt sore all over.Because I don't have the habit of wearing a watch, and the curtains in the room are tightly drawn, I can only judge from the chirping of sparrows outside the window that it is probably another new day.

Not long after I woke up, the door of the inquiry room opened.I thought it was the grumpy police officer from last night, but I didn't expect that the one standing at the door was another gentle man wearing glasses.He pretended to come to the door, walked to the seat opposite me and sat down, pushed his glasses and said to me:

"I'm your attorney, Tezuka Kunimitsu."

Hearing what he said, my hand stroking my bangs stopped immediately.I carefully observed his appearance again, and slowly overlapped with the person in my memory.

Of course, I am not familiar with Tezuka Kunimitsu, but I am afraid that all the students of Hyotei who were a few years ago have heard his name---after all, he was the one who played such a game with Keigo Atobe.

It's just that I didn't expect that the former Qingxue Tennis Minister became a lawyer and met me, an unknown person, in this way.

But what puzzles me even more is why he is here.

"Sorry, I haven't hired a lawyer, may I ask you..."

"Yuji Ninzu asked me to come. He heard about you."

When I got this answer, I was somewhat surprised. In my impression, my relationship with Ninzuzu was limited to seniors and juniors. I never thought that he would lend a helping hand in my most distressed moment.

On the other hand, Chotarou should have also heard about me through Yushi Ninzu.I don't know what he thinks?Also, what happened to Sakaki Taro who was interrogated with me?

"Excuse me, where is Mr. Sakaki?"

"He has gone back after being questioned. Because according to the investigation results at this stage, the police suspect that you are suspected of committing the crime. So you can't go home yet, but I will try to get you released on bail. Don't worry about this."

"I didn't kill anyone!"

Tezuka Kunimitsu's statement made my heart feel like falling into a cold cave. When I thought of being treated as a murder suspect by the police, I ignored my politeness, grabbed Tezuka Kunimitsu's hands on the table, and defended myself loudly.

Tezuka's hand was warm, but mine was too cold to have any warmth.

I think anyone who is suspected of being a murderer would panic like me because I never did!

Tezuka Kunimitsu neither pushed my hand away nor spoke words to comfort me.He just looked at me with calm eyes, maybe the chrysanthemum badge on his collar is too solemn, maybe he looks trustworthy.I slowly let go of his hand and smiled awkwardly, the beating heart finally slowed down.

"Next, I need to ask you some simple questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."

I pursed my lips, clasped my hands firmly under the table, and nodded.

"Your name?"

"Three pools are really red."

I saw Tezuka Kunimitsu's writing hand paused, and then he continued to ask other questions as if nothing had happened.

"Miss Miike, according to the information I have at hand, when you were 14 years old, you were detained for a month at the Tokyo No. [-] Juvenile Identification Center for beating your stepfather to serious injury. Why did you do this?"

I watched Tezuka lower his head to record, and blurted out without thinking:

"To protect my sister."

As soon as my words fell, Tezuka Kunimitsu completely put down the pen in his hand. He stared into my eyes without hesitation, and said to me in an unusually calm tone:

"But according to my information, you should be an only child."

I watched Tezuka Kunimitsu's mouth open and close very frequently, but it was like five thunderbolts.He is right, I am an only child, why would I say such things subconsciously?

After that, I was completely immersed in my own world, and I didn't even notice when Tezuka left.

Because the police believed that I was suspected of committing a serious crime, it was relatively difficult to release me on bail, so I had to stay in the detention center for a few more days.In the past few days, I have been waiting for Hochotaro's visit.

He looked at me silently through the protective glass, and after a while he said sadly:

"True red, why are you doing this?"

Chotaro's decisive tone made me have no doubt that he already regarded me as a murderer.

"I didn't do it!"

I don't know why, but I decided in my heart that Chotaro would not believe me, but I still couldn't help explaining at the top of my lungs.However, what responded to me was his back without looking back.Before leaving, the long silver necklace around his neck flashed in front of me.

My dear Mr. Changtaro, a devout believer in Christianity, is unwilling to give me even a little bit of trust.

I think of that day, he kissed my lips in the classroom, he held me tightly in his arms, and promised that he would never mistake me again.I have to admit that at a certain moment, I really wanted to get back together with him regardless of everything.Thinking about it now, it's really ridiculous.

On the same day, I waited for Sakaki Taro.

He sat in the same position as Chotaro, looking at me through the protective glass.His eyes were cold and his face was expressionless, which made me almost think that the gentle smile on his face that I saw the night the body was found was out of my imagination.After looking at me for some time, Sakaki Taro folded his arms and said in an irrefutable tone:

"Renzu told me that you are not Zhenbai, and I finally believed it, because Zhenbai would not do such a cruel thing."

When Sakaki Taro said this, I suddenly felt another self in my body chuckling secretly.

So, as if infected, I raised the corners of my mouth inappropriately and smiled at Sakakitaro.

It was also from this time that I began to suspect that I had some kind of mental illness, and I was anxious all day and all night.My time in the detention center lasted for nearly a week. Just when I was about to collapse due to paranoia, Tezuka Kunimitsu finally succeeded in releasing me on bail.

Today is my bail day, and I walk down the dark, damp hallway with Kunimitsu Tezuka by my side.

Maybe I stayed in the detention center for too long, and the sun is obviously warm, but it is also very dazzling in my opinion.But freedom and light are so precious, I would rather raise my head and weep in the strong light than close my eyes.

"really red."

I heard someone call my name, followed the voice and looked over, and saw the man standing in the sun.I couldn't see his face clearly, but I knew that this person must be Yushi Ninzu.Even though he never visited me during my detention, he was the only one who didn't abandon me.

I couldn't hide my excitement, I ran all the way to Renzu, and saw his familiar smile.

"Welcome back. I want to take you somewhere."

I nodded heavily, then turned my head with patience and said to Tezuka Kunimitsu not far away:

"Come on Tezuka too, thank you for your willingness to help me, it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

Although I couldn't understand Ninzuzu's words, I still decided to follow him without hesitation.Who wouldn't believe in their savior, let alone when they were abandoned by everyone.

Our destination was a small clinic, and there was not even one man in a suit in the clinic.

The man invited us into his office, which looked more like a hospital room to me.The curtains in the office are drawn tightly, and there is a swaying chandelier on the ceiling, which makes a "creaking" sound from time to time.If it weren't for the bed in the office, I almost felt like I was back in the inquiry room.

Just when I was puzzled, the man in the suit pushed the bed that was leaning against the wall to the center and motioned me to lie down on it.I nervously glanced at Shinobu next to me, and he smiled at me gently:

"You look like you haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. My friend is an expert in helping others sleep better. Let him try it."

My gaze shifted slightly, and I saw Tezuka Kunimitsu with the same calm expression.So I nodded, took off my shoes and lay down on the bed without saying a word.The face of the man in the suit appeared obliquely above me, and he told me in a persuasive tone:

"Now, please stare at the chandelier on the ceiling. You haven't slept well for a long time, and you are very sleepy, very sleepy..."

I obeyed his command and stared at the chandelier, which was creaking, not knowing when it would fall and hit my head.The man in the suit is still talking, his voice is getting softer, and my eyelids are getting darker...

Just a second before I lost it completely, I seemed to hear someone talking:

"You can come out, Zhenbai."

"Long time no see, Doctor Ninzuzu."
