Get rid of the crumb boss and go back to your hometown to get married

"Hi, I'm Keiko's friend. I haven't heard from her for a long time. I take the liberty of visiting her. I'm sorry."

Someone knocked lightly on the wooden door, and the girl's clean and gentle voice came, and the quarreling people in the yard stopped looking at each other—Keiko's friend?

Mrs. Yamashita looked at her husband, then stepped forward to open the door in surprise and suspicion.Standing outside was a petite girl with slightly velvety hair. Her skin was very fair, her eyes were dark and bright, and she was full of love.

"Please come in." Mrs. Yamashita looked outside to confirm that the girl was alone, and then she stepped out of the way: "Sorry, I didn't know Keiko had friends."

"Ah, there are always some little secrets among girls." She laughed, her big eyes were dark and bright with a hint of red, and Mrs. Yamashita looked at her and felt that her daughter did have such a friend, but there were many things recently. She forgot: "I remembered, you are Keiko's friend, called... called..."

She turned her head to think hard, Kaoru lowered her head and "reminded": "I am Kaoru, Mrs. Yamashita hasn't rested recently, okay?"

"Yes, yes, you are Kaoru, I have a bad memory these days, and I haven't been able to sleep well since Keiko's accident. My daughter..." Her sadness is not fake, but there seems to be something different in her expression s things.

The girl following her was surprised: "What happened to Keiko? What happened to her?"

"It disappeared all of a sudden, just like encountering a monster in a ghost story." She looked around in fear, as if some monster would suddenly pounce.

There was a strange smell floating in the yard mixed with the scent of flowers, but I couldn't tell what it was.

Mrs. Yamashita lowered her eyes and her voice gradually became lower: "It was the same day as today, except that it was not as hot. At night, Keiko went back to her room to rest. The next morning, before she came out of the room for breakfast, I opened the door to see. There was no one in the room. It's cold here, where can she go?"

While talking, they walked through the corridor and entered the room. The new blue-gray tiles were still stained with moisture from the past few days, and four men of different ages were sitting in the room arguing about something.

"Keiko will never disappear without reason. Something terrible must have happened!" The young man who said this was a young man who looked somewhat similar to Mr. Yamashita sitting in the middle. Kaoru noticed that Mrs. Yamashita frowned when he spoke. frown.At this time, the fancy-dressed young man sitting opposite him opened his mouth to retort: ​​"Didn't you say that she disappeared at home? You are all well,

Why did only Keiko have an accident? "

The dispute was interrupted here, and Mrs. Yamashita led Ms. Keiko's "friend" into the room: "My child's father, this is Keiko's good friend Kaoru. He came to visit because he was worried about Keiko."

Kaoru stared into the man's eyes and smiled, and the other party vaguely responded, "Oh, it's Kaoru...why are you here?"

"What happened to Keiko?"

You can't control your mouth when you look into her eyes.

Mr. Yamashita looked dazed: "She suddenly disappeared a few days ago..."

"Did anything happen before Keiko disappeared? A quarrel or something unpleasant."

She asked Mrs. Yamashita just now, and she said that she didn't know anything. In Mrs. Yamashita's description, Miss Keiko has always been gentle and shy, as silent and lacking in presence as every girl raised according to secular standards.

"Keiko and Shunsuke had a quarrel. She was about to get married, and Shunjie didn't want to let her sister go out for a walk at night." Mr. Yamashita explained.

The girl begged with a soft and non-aggressive smile, "Can I go to Keiko's room?"

"No!" He immediately refused rudely, as if he felt that this attitude was a bit suspicious, and then changed his tone: "The room has been rearranged in the past few days, and you won't find anything even if you go in."

The other party strongly resisted, so it is not easy to continue to insist on the proposition.

Kaoru turned to the young man who spoke first: "Mr. Shunsuke, Keiko is getting married, going out for a walk with her fiancé, as long as she comes back in time, it's fine, right?"

The young man's face was flushed: "If you are not married, you can't do it. How can a woman be so self-respecting! And you too, don't you feel embarrassed to knock on the door and run into other people's house at such a late hour?"

Mrs. Yamashita let out a snort, stomped her feet and turned to leave. Mr. Yamashita was a little embarrassed: "This kid is outspoken. Kaoru, don't be as knowledgeable as he used to be with Keiko."

The man sitting opposite Mr. Yamashita, who has been silent for a long time, let out a short laugh: "Come on, it's not that Keiko will be scared by you and obediently. You are not Keiko's real brother, why are you so leniency!"

The man who was arguing with Shunsuke turned to Kaoru, bowed his head very politely: "Sorry, I didn't know Kaoru would be here today. Do you know anything about Keiko's disappearance?"

A Xun turned his eyes and looked at him quietly: "I came to visit because I don't know anything."

The man fell silent immediately.

Five people, each of them is very interesting.

"In order to find Keiko sooner, please

Tell me one by one what happened when you last saw her? "

She found a corner and knelt down and bowed to the four people in the room, first looking at Keiko's fiancé: "Please."

In terms of appearance, this girl is not aggressive at all, sweet, soft, well-behaved, and cute. Only those eyes seem to be able to see through the black mud surging in everyone's heart.

He seemed to be looking at her through a layer of frosted glass, and his thinking became dull: "The last time I saw Keiko, she was crying. She said that Shunsuke had no good intentions for her, and begged me to advance the wedding date. I comforted her and said anyway It's only been a few days, just be careful, there is no need to bother everyone because of such a small matter. Then Shunsuke suddenly appeared, we fought, Keiko ran away crying, I don't know if she came home, I don't know if she is The one who disappeared at home is just what everyone said. For a beautiful lady like you, I..."

"Okay, please sit there and be quiet."

The girl's gentle voice turned cold at this moment, she coldly threw him aside and looked at Junjie: "It's your turn."

"I didn't do anything to Keiko, she was too sensitive." The young man was a little irritable, but under the influence of the pupil technique, he was not so irritable that he couldn't communicate with bad words, "This guy is not a good person. Tian also saw him flirting with the female general in the kiosk, just reminding Keiko kindly. The last time I saw her was at dinner at home, because I had a fight with that guy, I told her to stay at home Go out. She will cry because she knew that her fiancée was of poor character, and she was not married, so she had time to save her. Who knew something would happen that night!"

Kaoru turned his eyes to look at the last person, and he gave a third, completely different answer: "Keiko and I are childhood sweetheart neighbors," he raised his hand and scratched his arm in some discomfort, his sleeves were raised to reveal his forearms. It was quickly covered: "Toshisuke is Mr. Yamashita's nephew and adopted son. He is a stingy and old-fashioned person. Keiko, as the original only daughter, has a generous dowry, otherwise that guy would not be so considerate." He was talking about Keiko's fiancé, this person He snorted again: "Junjie was afraid that Keiko would get married and divide the family property, so he obstructed it in every possible way, and that guy just coveted her dowry, neither of them is a good thing."

"So what about you, when was the last time you saw Keiko?" The girl's tone increased, and the man couldn't help scratching her arm a few more times: "The night she disappeared, she cried to me across the flower wall, saying she was at home Molested by brother, fiancé

He was messing with flowers and grass outside again, and he was so desperate for life that he might as well die.I comforted her a few words, but I didn't see her the next day, and later I heard that she was missing. "

"Could it be that she couldn't bear to run away by herself?" The man scratched and guessed in distress.

Kaoru took a deep look at him, then turned to Mrs. Yamashita who had gone and returned, and said, "Sorry, can I go and have a look by the flower wall? Maybe I can find some clues. Keiko and I are best friends, I know what she's thinking."

Mrs. Yamashita didn't have any excuse to refuse, but Mr. Yamashita's tone was impatient and even threatening: "Go home as soon as you want, little girl like you, don't stay outside at night, in case something terrible happens Not good."

Is this again, a terrible thing...?

"Understood, thank you for reminding me." She replied nonchalantly, and followed Mrs. Yamashita to walk around the flower wall.In this season of late summer and early autumn, the huge camellias are in full bloom, and the air is filled with a strong aroma. I don’t know what is mixed with the fragrance of the flowers.

"This flower is really nice. Keiko likes it very much." She walked through the flower bushes with fresh floating soil, stood here and looked there - the neighbor's house arranged a firewood house in this place, and the wooden door was half-opened and half-closed , there are some strange drag marks on the ground.

"So that's the case, I know." She lowered her eyelashes and turned to look at Mrs. Yamashita: "You have already guessed where Keiko is, right?"

"Please, don't say it, it's just like this, just like this!" The woman looked at her pleadingly: "Just let me think that my daughter has escaped."

Kaoru stood on the patch of flowers that were dug up and replanted not long ago and looked at her sadly: "If even you, as a mother, think so..."

I have nothing to say.

"That's it, that's the best. Keiko's accidental disappearance is better than..." She shook her head and refused in despair like a small animal stuck in a corner.

——It's better than dying innocently and wrongly before getting married, isn't it?

Even though it was the end of summer, there were bursts of chill in the hot wind.

"I understand."

The evening wind blew, and the blooming camellia suddenly fell from the branches in the wind. Mrs. Yamashita covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice. The girl who claimed to be Keiko's friend did not go back to the main house to say goodbye, but went straight out of the yard and turned around at the door to look at her. Eyes: "Ma'am, it's cold underground, there's water, endless darkness, and gnawing insects and ants. No matter who is lying down there alone, no matter how gentle their personality is, they can't help but resent."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh-

! ”

The poor woman let out a long wail, raised her hands to cover her face, knelt on her knees, gritted her teeth and endured it. Seeing her like this, Kaoru didn't say anything more, and left the Yamashita house and walked to the place agreed with Ganluji Mitsuri in advance. .

An hour later, the pink-haired girl came back, obviously finding nothing: "I checked again, there are no ghosts here?"

"There are indeed no ghosts. Not everyone died at the hands of ghosts. Let's investigate in another place. Do you want to find a place to rest for a while?"

She gently raised her eyes to look at her companion, and Miri frowned very worried, and raised her hand to touch her forehead and then her own: "What's the matter, is there any discomfort in your body? Just tell me if you feel uncomfortable, I will carry it on my back." with you."

"I'm fine, how about you?"

It is precisely because there are such high-spirited people who are as bright as the sun that the world is worth saving.
