In the past seven years, there have always been only two people at dinner time in the Ishihara family, and only two people.

However, today is destined to be different from the past.

That was Yuko's beautiful wish that was only fulfilled in her dreams. The missing corner was finally made up, and it belonged to the dinner time of a family of three.

Because Yuko and Dazai made an agreement on the way home to eat the dishes made by their father tonight, so when Michiko came home from get off work, what she saw was a table of almost prepared meals.

"All of this...you did it, Aji?"

After getting Dazai's affirmative answer, the first thing that flashed in Michiko's mind was not surprise and emotion, but suspicion and worry.

She thought of the dark dishes that Dazai had cooked, and also thought that Dazai had injured himself several times in the middle of cutting vegetables, so that several rolls of bandages were wasted before the vegetables were cooked, and she was very suspicious of hearing, All this in front of my eyes.

"Qianzi, don't worry. The tofu that is so hard that it can be smashed against the wall, and the chicken hot pot that can't sleep for three days are all special dishes that are only made under special circumstances. I can also make normal dishes." Dazai sat at the dining table with his head propped on one hand, and answered Michiko's doubts with a smile.

"Tofu so hard that it can hit the wall?! Can you really make something like this?" Yuko's curious voice suddenly came.

"Yes~" Dazai turned his attention to his daughter, "If Yuko is interested, Dad will show you next time."

"Then—do you have to eat Spiritual Chicken Hot Pot so you don't have to sleep for three days? In that case, can you have more time and do more things than others?"

"Of course not. Although you can stay awake for three days, you will fall asleep after being so tired that you won't be able to wake up for three days."

After listening to Dazai's explanation, Yuko asked several more questions, her kite-colored eyes were full of aroused interest.

Dazai tilted his head, and met his daughter's big eyes that were exactly the same as his own, and a gentle light appeared in his eyes involuntarily.He explained his daughter's problems one by one without any sign of impatience.

Seeing that the father and daughter had no intention of stopping, they were discussing even while eating, Michiko put down the bowl and chopsticks, tapped on the table with her fingers, interrupting them and at the same time drawing their attention to this side.

"Don't talk during the meal. If you have any questions, you can talk about it after the meal." After finishing speaking, the rich and powerful head of the family swept Yuko and Dazai in turn, stayed on Dazai for a few seconds, and then retracted.

Tacitly silent, Dazai and Yuko looked at each other tacitly, and both obediently lowered their heads and ate honestly.

Michiko naturally didn't miss the small movements of the father and daughter, but she didn't say anything.

After dinner, Michiko went to the study, while Yuko took Dazai to the activity room upstairs to do health exercises.

Ever since Michiko returned from a trip to Kyoto, Yuko never took the initiative to ask her to do health exercises, all of them were with Dazai.Although Michiko used to have a hard time holding back her laughter every time she did the health exercises, she can breathe a sigh of relief now, but Michiko is still a little upset when she thinks that Dazai has squeezed her out of her place in just a few days.

However, this discomfort completely disappeared after peeking at the process of the father and daughter dancing health exercises.In terms of the degree of devotion and the way of interaction, she can't compare with Dazai, and she is willing to admit defeat.

The study room is so quiet that there are only the sound of the clock running and the occasional sound of pages turning. The flow of time seems to be affected by this quiet and serene atmosphere, making it slow.

click.

The door opened at this time, and familiar footsteps came.

"What are you looking at? Your eyebrows are wrinkled into flowers." Dazai's voice came along with the sound of the coffee cup falling on the table.

Michiko looked up at Dazai who was sitting on the corner of the table, said "thank you" with a smile, and took a sip from the coffee cup.

"Milk?" The smell of milk slid into her mouth, she put down the cup and asked in surprise, "Why not coffee?"

"Milk helps you sleep, sleep well, and you may be able to figure out what you can't figure out." Dazai didn't mention any work matters, nor did he ask why Michiko was troubled, but he managed to loosen her decision to stay up late.

"It's so late?"

Michiko glanced at the clock on the wall that had already passed the "12" position, drank the milk in the glass in one gulp, stood up and left the study with Dazai.

"Is Yuko asleep?"

"Sleep. I still struggled to say good night to you before going to bed. I told her that my mother was busy beating bad guys, so she went to bed obediently."

"Sorry, Aji, you have worked hard to take care of Yuko these days."

A dark light flashed across the kite eyes, and the corner of Dazai's lips curved, and he leaned close to Michiko's ear and said softly: "It's not hard work, I should say 'sorry' for not being able to accompany her all the way from birth. If Chiko can If you help me make up for this little regret, that will be the greatest comfort to me."

Understanding the deep meaning in his words, Michiko's ears turned red, and she immediately reached out and pinched the itchy flesh on someone's waist.

What happened in the corridor was just a trivial episode.

After the couple finished washing and went to bed, Michiko thought about it and decided to ask Dazai about the "Radium Bowl Street Church Organization".

"...Aji, you are familiar with Yokohama, do you have any detailed information about the organization of the Radium Boulevard Church?"

"...Radium Bowl Street is a poor street. There are many religious organizations like to preach here, but few of them deserve the attention of the Hong Kong gangsters. If you need it, I can give you their information."

"……thanks."

No sound came from the darkness.

After a while, there was a faint rustling sound of cloth rubbing, and Michiko felt a warm and reassuring heat covering her entire right hand.Immediately afterwards, the fingertips were kneaded a few times with moderate force, just like what she had done to him.

……

The next day, Michiko woke up early.

Maybe it was the effect of the glass of milk last night, or maybe it was the peace of mind that someone helped to solve the problem together, she slept very soundly this time.

After eating breakfast every day, sending her daughter to school, Michiko went to the Ozhu Tower.

The difference from the past is that no one stayed at home today, because Dazai also planned to return to Hong Kong and Heilongjiang.According to his words, it is not only necessary to help Michiko investigate the "Radium Bowl Street Church Organization", but also the periodical fishing is almost up, and it is time to go back and improve the sense of existence.

After hearing the last reason, Michiko couldn't help laughing.She thought in her heart, "As expected, it is him", and walked out of the house without saying anything.

Arriving at the Pillar Pagoda, when she heard that Sister Butterfly had returned, Michiko called all relevant personnel to the conference room.

In addition to Oda Saku and Butterfly sisters, those who attended the meeting were also members of the "Rabbit" who were responsible for investigating Hasegawa's family. Miyata Kazue did not come because he was waiting for the results of Hasegawa's autopsy.

After some information sharing, analysis and discussion, a layer of veil covering the truth of the incident was finally revealed—the church organization on Radium Bowl Street.

Dr. Hasegawa's mental state began to have problems due to the breakdown of his family. In addition, he later took on the important task of "treating members of the ghost killing team", and his psychological problems gradually aggravated.The so-called "doctors don't heal themselves", Hasegawa didn't want his colleagues and assistants to know that he had a psychological problem, so he joined a certain church organization by chance.Then he became obsessed with it and even started affecting the patients he was responsible for.

It was Hasegawa who first discovered the problem

ex-wife and daughter.His ex-wife didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, and simply pretended that she didn't know about it, but his daughter made the exact opposite choice as her mother.In order to rescue her father from this church organization, Hasegawa's daughter risked her life to join the organization and wanted to disintegrate the organization from the inside alone.

Of course, her idea was a bit unrealistic, so before the danger happened, she was persuaded by the "rabbit" people to leave Radium Bowl Street in time.

"Kg, this is the suicide note left by the member of Butterfly House who committed suicide recently. We got it from her friend. You can take a look." Kanae took out an envelope and handed it to Michiko.

After taking the envelope and opening it, and taking out the suicide note inside, Michiko read it carefully.

"I know love.

I, who had nothing left, was actually given love again. This is something that I could never have dreamed of.

I am redeemed.

Nothing is frightening to me anymore, I'm not going to be crushed—no, there's only one thing I'm still afraid of... so scared so scared so scared! ! ! "

Michiko felt uncomfortable after reading only the beginning of the suicide note.

The handwriting on it was scribbled and frantic, enough to imagine how excited and excited its owner was when writing these things, but Michiko thought it was more likely to be "mental disorder".

——What caused the owner of the suicide note to become abnormal?What is it that she keeps stressing about being afraid of?Could that be what prompted her suicide?

The answer might lie in the densely packed and messy text, so Michiko endured the discomfort in her heart and continued to read.

"...

I am very afraid now, dozens of times greater than my own fear of dying.

by that person—

'

"—kg! The autopsy results are out!"

The door of the meeting room was forcefully opened from the outside, making a dull sound.Kazue's voice flew straight, interrupting Michiko's reading of the suicide note.

Folding and putting down the suicide note in her hand, Michiko did not blame Kazue for his recklessness, and asked directly: "What about the result? What is the cause of Hasegawa's death?"

"Organ atrophy and lung necrosis caused by prolonged suffocation."

"asphyxia?"

"Yes." Yizhitiao calmed down his shortness of breath due to the rush, and continued, "There are indications that he suddenly suffered from shortness of breath in the office, and eventually suffocated to death."
