[SKIP] Undercurrent

Chapter3

For me, it was a perfectly ordinary early summer morning.

If it wasn't for the fact that Shou died this morning.

——Excerpt from "He Love, You and Summer"

It is not that Tsuruga Ren has read the so-called girly pink book that she has not read before.He has even read several scripts of dog-blooded idol dramas that surpassed human imagination, and he considers himself familiar with the literary category of "girl romance novels".

But this novel with a small and fresh cover has completely subverted Tsuruga Ren's cognition of this literary category.

The first two chapters of the story follow the routine of an ordinary love novel. An ordinary high school girl, Natsumi Sanjo, met a young man named Hisashi Hanazawa who lived nearby because of her part-time job at a convenience store.After that, they fell in love, and like all ordinary couples, they had a sweet and simple daily life, and they were passionately in love with a little warmth.

Just at the beginning of the novel, in this ordinary love affair, a jaw-dropping turning point finally appeared.

On an ordinary early summer morning, Sanjo Natsumi, who went on a date at Hanazawa's apartment, suddenly discovered that Hanazawa had died.The hero of this book died completely when the story progressed less than one-fifth.

Hanazawa Shou was killed with a watermelon knife, the most common and unexpected weapon.Not only the throat, but even the major arteries on the wrists and ankles were cut, and blood spread throughout the bedroom.But even such a cruel murderer put Hua ZeShou on the bed in a puzzling manner, with his hands folded on his lower abdomen, making an illusion of peace.

Sanjo Natsumi called the police, but the police investigated for a long time, but found nothing in Hanazawa's apartment.There were no fingerprints on the watermelon knife used as the murder weapon, and no relevant clues were left in the apartment. Surveillance cameras in the surrounding neighborhoods did not capture anything, and even the neighbors upstairs and downstairs did not hear the incident.For such a difficult case, even the most experienced policeman is helpless.

As a lover, Sanjo Natsumi was not reconciled.She was not reconciled to get such a blank investigation result, the 17-year-old high school sophomore girl, so she started her stubborn and difficult investigation.

Hanazawa's identity is nothing more than a 22-year-old employee in the development department of an IT company. He is extremely ordinary and has no enemies.His death looked like a sudden accident.However, as Sanjo Natsumi's investigation continued to deepen, she discovered that her lover seemed to be a person without a past.

The so-called no past means that she can't find any tangible traces of his existence.

No relatives, no close friends.Even if he found his file in the university he once attended, when he mentioned him to his former teachers and classmates, he always got an ambiguous answer like "ah, it seems that there is such a person". .

Faced with more and more weird investigation results, Sanjo Natsumi had to overthrow all her previous ideas, and based on reality, she established a guess that even she herself felt terrible...

"...Is this really a romance novel?"

After reading the book, Tsuruga Lian was silent for a while and asked.

Kiyohara Rei, who was typing in front of the computer, stopped what he was doing and looked back at him.While stretching out her hand to fiddle with her bangs, she asked casually: "In the bookstore that sells books, the listing guide it prompts is indeed youth love. You don't think it's a romance novel, Mr. Tsuruga?"

"To be precise, girls these days really like to read novels like this?" Tsuruga Lian felt a little unbelievable. "It's not so much a romance novel as it is..."

"Hunting novels."

The girl's deep voice interrupted the other party's hesitation, and spit out these four words without any emotional ups and downs.

Tsuruga Lian didn't continue to speak, but nodded silently in her heart.

In the first two chapters, he thought it was a romance novel, but the subsequent development of the plot turned into a detective novel, and then it began to have a strong sense of fantasy, but the final ending was so bloody and terrifying that it looked like a horror novel.This had to make him wonder, would girls really want to read such a work?

"Every book of mine is condensed with deep love and malice," Kiyohara Rei raised the corners of his lips, smiling generously and decently, "Perhaps Tsuruga-kun will find it strange, why would anyone want to read such a book?" The book. But you can look back and see, your own reading experience just now—”

How did you feel when you read just now?

Tsuruga Ren subconsciously recalled what Kiyohara said.

How does this story feel?It's probably from being flat at the beginning, then suddenly turning to a climax, and then...

The man's fingers stroking the book cover suddenly stopped.

... Then, he couldn't read on his own.

The sudden death of the male protagonist began to make readers extremely curious and want to know the truth of the case.After reading a little bit, what he encounters is the terrible truth faced by the heroine, so he can't stop wanting to touch the reality.It's just that this time it's just a smoke bomb, and the most core ones are left at the end, just waiting for a "bang" to explode in the reader's head.

A novel has nothing more than a beginning, a climax, and an end.

And what this story has is the beginning, the climax, the climax, the climax.

It is not an overly brilliant narrative, nor is it so beautiful, it can only be regarded as a writing style with personal characteristics.But it is able to combine this story so wonderfully, one link is closely linked to another, every character has the meaning of their existence, and will lead to a deeper level of truth.Each truth is like a layer on the fruity milk ball, which is slowly faded away, revealing the innermost almond.Then, "click".

Bitten to pieces.

Tsuruga Ren suddenly understood why Kiyohara Rei's work was favored, and considered adapting it to a TV series.If it is such an unexpected story, it will not be too attractive to the audience.

"It's ingenious. Teacher Qingyuan's story is very ingenious."

The man sighed sincerely.

Rei Kiyohara looked at him: "So, Tsuruga-kun, would you like to play the role of Hisashi Hanazawa in this TV series?"

The character of Hua Zeshou was in a state of death not long after the novel started.It only appeared in the imagination of the heroine in the middle, and it didn't appear again until the end of the story.From the perspective of the whole story, his role is only about half of the heroine's, but the presence of this character is very strong, even surpassing the story's narrator and heroine Natsumi Sanjo.

What's more, Hanazawa himself is also a very challenging role.From the gentle and handsome young man at the beginning of the story, to the heroine's imagination, and the appearance at the end of the story, the character is completely turned upside down.

Being able to receive such a role, for Tsuruga Lian who happened to be suffering from no job recently, was simply a big pie that fell from the sky, and he had no reason to refuse at all.

"If there is no conflict with the company's arrangement, of course I am very happy." Tsuruga Lian smiled, but said very conservatively.After all, he didn't know the company's arrangements and views on the show. If they had already decided on the actor of the role, it would be very troublesome for him to get involved.

"You don't have to worry about that," Qing Yuanli's expression was very serious, and his round face tensed up decently, "President Baotian wants to sign my book, it's impossible for me not to have the right to speak. Ah , Of course, I need to declare one thing in advance - if Tsuruga-kun's acting skills are not up to my standards, I will still give up supporting you to play the male lead."

Tsuruga Ren nodded: "It's natural."

"Teacher Kiyohara..." Finally hearing that the two of them had almost reached the point of conversation, Nomura Hanami couldn't bear it any longer and said weakly, "It's already 05:30... when is dinner..."

Zha Zha Li has been eating snacks all afternoon, but she is hungry ヽ(;▽;)ノ!

"Then I'll go prepare dinner."

Qing Yuanli said, and stood up.Nomura Hanami presented the blue apron very graciously, and helped tie the knot by the way, and then watched Rei Kiyohara into the kitchen with very expectant eyes.

"Ms. Kiyohara, doesn't she need help?" Tsuruga Lian noticed that Nomura Hanami was just watching, but she didn't seem to have any plans to help in the kitchen.

"Ah, she prefers to cook alone," Nomura Hanami added, "but she really doesn't like washing dishes."

Ren Tsuruga remembered how Nomura stood up skillfully and naturally to clean up the dishes in the morning, so she understood.

"Nomura Hanami!"

The sudden roar startled both of them in the living room.

"Teacher Qingyuan?"

Kiyohara Rei's face was so dark that she ran to Nomura Hanami angrily, and asked loudly, "What stupid thing did you do in the kitchen again!!!"

Tsuruga Lian was a little confused.

Even the person being questioned, Nomura Hanami, showed a bewildered expression.

The little loli wearing a dark blue apron's face was getting darker and darker, and she was almost trembling with anger.The round face was bulging like a steamed stuffed bun, looking like the kind you want to take a bite of.

After being stared at for a long time by such angry eyes, Nomura Hanami suddenly remembered something, she opened her mouth and explained: "Mr. I just took it away, I really didn't mean to..."

Tsuruga Ren keenly noticed that Nomura's expression was very strange.While seeming to cry because of Kiyohara Rei's anger, at the same time, his face almost twisted because he thought of something funny.

"...Where did you put it! Stupid little flower!!!"

"It's, it's on the balcony," Nomura stammered, "I'll go and move that little bench back to the kitchen right away!"

Small bench……

Tsuruga Lian silently glanced at the small group standing there.

——He seemed to understand something _(:з」∠)_.
