Spider Mattress

In the past, the sea surface reflected waves in the sun, and reflected on Kamiya's face faintly, accompanied by the sea breeze, which made Kamiya feel dizzy and kept squinting his eyes.Because he knew the place and purpose of going next, Jiuyu always felt a little sad in his expression.

Kamiya only told himself the name of the place, and after Jiuyu asked his subordinates to investigate in detail, they found out that it was the cemetery where Kamiya's biological father died.Although he knew about the tragic event 18 years ago, he knew nothing about it.

The February sea breeze was blowing, strong and icy.

Even though he was wrapped in a black leather coat, Hisasumi's body was cold quickly.With a clear mind, he returned to the driver's seat, drove from the parking lot onto the marine highway, and drove straight to Kisarazu under the sky covering the vast sea.

After passing through Chiba, head towards Boso.

We had lunch at a small but neat soba noodle shop on the way, and it was mid-afternoon when we arrived at our destination.

At this time, the two were standing in the cemetery.

Kamiya fetched water with a portable bucket, passed in front of Kusumi, and took the lead.Jiuyu stepped on the gravel road and followed slowly.This seems to be a very old cemetery. There are old tombs covered with moss for a long time, and new tombs that have just been built can also be seen.

The cemeteries are divided into different sizes, and the roads are winding and criss-crossing like a maze.There are probably cherry trees planted around the cemetery.

——There are also many cherry trees in the Tama Cemetery.

His parents, who died when Jiuyu was young, were also buried together in the Tama Cemetery.The cause of death was an automobile accident on the highway.Hissumi, who was 13 at the time, was also in the back seat of the car.The memory of that day was only up to the time I came out of the house, and when I woke up again, I was already in the hospital, and my parents had already died.The scar under the left eye is also from that time.

Secretly, many people said that this ugly scar was a wound from a fight, but that was also groundless hearsay.

Even if the memory is lost, this scar also witnessed the last time the family was together, and it would be sad to disappear.

While walking, Jiuyu was immersed in memories, and didn't notice that Kamiya had stopped, and accidentally bumped into him.

From the distance so far, Kamiya was quietly watching the solitary tombstone.

Kamiya walked forward wordlessly, removing the withered flowers in front of the grave.The flower didn't look like it was a long time ago, as if it was placed on it a few days ago.Then he scooped up the water in the bucket and began to clean the graveyard.

Jiuyu himself also visits his parents' cemetery every year, and understands that this series of behaviors is like a dialogue between parents and children.So I didn't bother, I just stepped back and looked at Kamiya's back.

"Thank you for bringing me the flowers."

As Kamiya said, he stretched out his hand, and Kusumi handed him the bouquet.The bouquet, mainly of narcissus, blooming with endless breath of life, was picked up by Shen Gu.

After lighting the incense sticks, Kamiya folded his palms together.Kusumi also naturally folded his palms together.

After a moment of silence, Kamiya turned his back on Kusumi and spoke in a low voice.

"The one lying here is my biological father who passed away 18 years ago. The father whose surname is Kamiya now is my stepfather."

The tombstone of the people who have guarded the house for several generations is engraved with "Seo Family".

"...The previous name was Seo Reishi."

It sounded like someone else's name from the mouth. Until the age of 11, Kamiya Reiji was called Seo Reiji.

"Ah, I really miss it."

Kamiya smiled slightly, but then, the smile quickly disappeared.

"Father committed suicide in police custody."

The faint voice continued to speak.

"18 years ago, my father worked in a large manufacturing factory. The company found that someone embezzled 700 million yuan of public funds, so it launched an internal investigation. The first suspect was the accountant. Suspicions arose. But my mother and I believed in him, that an upright father could not embezzle public funds... At first I did believe so."

Jiusumi also had some understanding of what had happened.

At that time, Kamiya's father was 34 years old and had just been appointed to the deposit business.Considering it from the standpoint of the job, it should be suspected the most, and unexpected evidence has also been investigated.

"At this time, it was discovered that 100 million yuan was transferred from the company's account to my father's account... In the staff apartment where we lived, my father was treated like a prisoner. Rumors spread, and even my classmates in the school Saying my father was a criminal embezzling public funds, of course I denied it, and I fought with them-but one day, when I was fighting with my classmates who were constantly arguing, as usual, I found myself starting to doubt my father..."

The company told Seo that if they returned 700 million yuan and handed in their resignation letter, they would not be prosecuted.

But Seo, who refused to admit it at all, rejected the proposal.Finally, the incident was reported to the police station, and Seo was detained as a suspect.

"The police came to my house and took my father away... Before I opened the door of the entrance, my father asked me: 'Does Yeji trust my father?'--'Yes.' I obviously wanted to answer like this, but I couldn't say anything He hesitated for a few seconds before nodding, the father must have noticed it too. He touched the head of his doubting son, forced a smile from the corner of his eyes...then walked out."

Hisusumi felt heartbroken as if he had witnessed the conversation between the father and son in front of the entrance.

...After that, Seo experienced the feeling of hell.

On a cold winter night, he endured the cold in the detention center, and was forced to confess by the police during the day.

Police in that era were more likely to use violence during interrogations than they are now.This honest man must have been severely interrogated.

Finally...

"We got a call from the police in the middle of the night telling us to come to the hospital. By the time we got there, the father had stopped breathing. He was said to have tied a torn sheet to the door of the detention center and put him in a chokehold. "

Kamiya's voice wavered.

As if trying to regain his composure, his back straightened up again.

"Father... not long after my father died, the real criminal who embezzled public funds was caught. It was my father's friend who also worked in the accounting department. He transferred 100 million yuan to my father's account and planted it on him. "

Even if the truth is found out later, the dead cannot be brought back to life.

The feeling of guilt for not saying "I believe you" to his father in front of the porch was deeply engraved on the soft heart of the 11-year-old boy.

If he had said that sentence, maybe his father could have endured the torture of the interrogation, Kamiya blamed himself more than once.

Father's heart is like a container with a broken bottom, and all the spiritual food on which to survive has been lost. Perhaps this is the reason why he chose to give up life.

"—That's why you are so obsessed with unjust crimes. When I was suspected because of violence, you also wanted to pursue the truth for me."

"Yeah, it's not because of any honest belief, I'm just obsessed with pursuing the lost truth. That's why I alienated my current family and have lived until now."

"What have I done..." said in a low voice, Kamiya laughed self-deprecatingly, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Although he knew that he didn't cry or shed a single tear, he still didn't want him to stand in front of his father alone, so Kusumi strode to Kamiya's side and hugged his shoulder.

"Okay, time to go."

Speaking vaguely, Kamiya raised his face.

His eyes, like stones wet by the drizzle, were lightly moist.

An inn in Tateyama that Jiusumi liked very much, with an elegant and leisurely style, the building seemed to be buried in the depths of the dry forest in winter, standing there quietly.

There seemed to be a stream nearby, and the gurgling of water could be heard.

After eating easy-to-digest fish and wild vegetables for dinner, I soaked in the open-air hot spring in the room.

Surrounded by bamboo forests as a barrier, the sides of the hot springs are piled with rocks, and camellias are in full bloom with thick red flowers.

Kamiya's shoulders were soaked in hot water, and only the top of his head could be seen in the white mist.

The leafless treetops were blown by the wind in the air, making a whistle-like sound.Those voices whizzed up and down, intertwined, and then dissipated.

"Sure enough, I've been driving for too long, and my shoulders are stiff. Shengu, rub it for me."

Hissumi, who was still leaning on the rock just now, walked to Kamiya while wading through the hot water while talking.

Kusumi exposed his back to Kamiya, and the area around the shoulder blades was shrouded in water vapor and he couldn't see clearly, but he could still see the slanted burn and burnt tattoo from the right shoulder to the left waist.

Kamiya reached out to the man's thick shoulders, rubbed the tense muscles with his thumbs. ... Seeing the horrible burn marks, my chest still felt aching.

Gently touching the color-changed and pulsating skin near the shoulder blades, even the texture was burnt, and it felt abnormally smooth to the touch.Remembering the time when he applied medicine to Kusumi's back at night, Kamiya felt his lips become hot as a reflex, and the feeling of the honey spilled from the man's genitals on his tongue vividly revived.

Suddenly, Hisasumi's hand stretched over his shoulder and grabbed Kamiya's fingertips.

"Sorry, does it still hurt?"

"...No, it's all right."

Kusumi murmured in a low voice, and rubbed Kamiya's mouth with his rough fingertips.
