[Comprehensive manga] Ruiguang

A person's world is the result of connecting the known or invisible things bit by bit by the people and things he is familiar with.So sometimes, people usually think that the world is so small, and make such exclamations.

My world is as small as a cage, and what is locked inside is the past that cannot be broken free and forgotten.I know this may be my too negative view, but this is an undeniable fact.After moving to Kanagawa, I did not accept new things in my own world. I resisted spontaneously inexplicably, and sometimes I even wanted to, but I didn't dare to really step out.

Eriko was injured and admitted to the hospital, I unconsciously wanted to go and see her.

After class in the afternoon, I asked the head teacher which hospital Eriko was in. Coincidentally, she, like my mother, was in Nishimidai.This made me wonder whether I should be lucky that I didn't have to make another trip, or should I worry about whether my past would be known because of this.

With mixed feelings, I still decided to visit Eriko.

I thought that there would be other people in the class who, like me, went to visit Eriko in the hospital out of love from their classmates, but the reaction of the class teacher surprised me a little.The only one who asked to visit Eriko was me.

It seems that Eriko, like me, doesn't interact much with the rest of the class.In the eyes of the class teacher, Eriko and I belonged to the same category of people, unknown existences like mysteries in the class.

As in the past, squeeze on the bus, get off at the familiar stop, turn right after crossing the overpass and walk about 200 meters to reach Nishimidai.

Standing at the entrance of the hospital, you can feel a cold wind that doesn't seem to be found in other places. Even in summer, the hospital is still cold enough to fit its original atmosphere.

Eriko's ward is on the third floor, and the elevator is still going up. I was a little impatient and chose the stairs instead of waiting.

The distance to the third floor was not difficult and I got there in no time.The corridor of the hospital was as quiet as ever. I found the ward with the label of Eriko Shannan at the door, and knocked gently on the door.

After waiting for a long time, just as I was about to knock again, the door was pulled open, and the person who opened the door was Urashita Shinichi, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.His tall figure blocked the light from behind the door, casting a shadow on me.

I couldn't believe my eyes, I took a step back and reconfirmed that Eriko Shannan's name was indeed written on the label at the door of the ward, then I stood in my original position again, facing Urashita directly.

Urashita was also slightly surprised when he saw me, maybe Eriko had mentioned me to him, and for my arrival, he seemed to turn his burly body sideways quite understandingly in the next second, "This is indeed Shannan's ward."

I leaned forward slightly, skipped over Urashita's body and looked into the ward.

Eriko was sitting on the hospital bed, with hanging needles on the back of her hands, and white bandages all over her body, even her face, most of her face was covered by gauze.

The moment I met her eyes, she nodded to me, but didn't speak.I couldn't see Eriko's entire face under the cover of the bandage, but the blue eye circles under the eyelids were undoubtedly the best proof of her poor complexion and condition.

In addition to Urakata, there was a young man in a suit in the ward.The man is holding a booklet with a black cover in his hand and is recording something.

"That's my colleague Shimabara." Urashita caught my eyes, and then explained my doubts.

The police officer, Shimabara, looked to be in his early twenties, with the kind of hairdo that is popular among young men these days, which made him look shaky, even flirtatious.I nodded to him politely, he is probably a junior of Urashita, a newcomer to the first search section or something.

"Is this an acquaintance of Urashita-san?" Shimahara looked at Urashita who was following me and asked, and soon his eyes stopped on the uniform I was wearing, "Ah, you are a student of Kaichang ...Excuse me, are you Shannan-chan's classmate?"

I couldn't help frowning... Shannan's address like "ちゃん"... really seems a bit frivolous.Or maybe it's because the police officers I've come into contact with are only reliable and stable types like Urakata, so they feel this way.

"Yeah." Even though I didn't have a good first impression of this young and frivolous police officer, I nodded in affirmation.

Because of Urashita, I started to dislike people like police officers. After answering Shimabara's question, I stopped talking or making eye contact with anyone among them, but directly Approaching the hospital bed, he only looked at Eriko.

"Junko." Eriko called me softly, her voice seemed very weak, even a little strenuous.From her half-closed eyes exposed outside the bandages, I could see that she was smiling at me.

I unconsciously lowered my eyebrows and asked softly, "Eriko, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thanks Junko."

At that time, Shimabara suddenly read the contents of the black booklet in his hand as if he was broadcasting news: "There are seven stab wounds all over the body, one of which is still on the face."

After finishing speaking, Eriko's eyes changed.She grabbed me with the hand that was still outside the quilt and tied with hanging needles. The temperature of her palm was cold, and I held her back very cooperatively.

Shimabara wanted to continue to say something, but Urashita patted him on the shoulder and shook his head with a serious expression.

This rookie police officer really can't read the air.Tell the truth so directly in front of the injured Eriko, at least consider the victim's feelings...

For the impression of Shimabara, I can't help but draw another big cross in my heart.They will be in Eriko's ward, probably for routine questioning.

I should have thought about the reason why Uraha appeared here. After all, he was a county policeman. I have met him many times and I should have noticed that this is part of his jurisdiction.How could the police not intervene in the investigation of Haichang students being attacked again and again.

Like Endo, Eriko didn't know what kind of person was being attacked. She didn't see the attacker's face, and she didn't even know the outline of her body.

I didn't stay in Eriko's ward for long. After saying goodbye, my plan was naturally to go directly to the seventh floor and visit my mother as usual.

Shimabara stayed in Eriko's ward and continued his work, while Urashita followed me out of the ward.

"Lan Yuan." Pu Xia stopped me, his deep voice filled with a sense of cruelty that could never be ignored.

I stood in front of the elevator, just looking at my unclear silhouette reflected on the steel door of the elevator, "I have nothing to say to Police Officer Puxia."

Suddenly, I wondered if the police officer Shimabara who worked with Urashita had been influenced by Urashita to say such KY words in front of Eriko.

The conversation between Pu Xia and I really ended at the meeting at the police station. He showed me a surveillance video from more than half a year ago.That image made me shake my heart, yes, it was Urakata who made me take the initiative to doubt my mother who was no longer in a normal state.

For my unfriendly attitude, Pu Xia was not angry, and even impatient, slowed down his speech, but still said in an imperative tone that was probably out of his habit: "You just need to listen to me. good."

Seeing that the elevator hadn't reached the third floor, I pressed the up button several times irritably, even though I knew it would have no effect at all.

Urakata stood by my side, his burly figure had such a high presence that I couldn't ignore it.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that he was about to say something to me, and I hurriedly interrupted: "If Officer Urakata has the time to take care of me, he might as well focus his energy on tracking down the prisoner who stabbed Eriko."

After finishing speaking, I turned around and walked quickly towards the safe exit.And Puxia's pestering degree was really beyond my imagination, and he also followed my turn, as if he must tell me those words.

"I don't want to hear what Police Officer Urakata said." I said the words of refusal again behind his back.

What can I do with this person, should I point at this person and say something like "If you follow me again, I will call the police as a stalker"?He is a policeman himself...

Pu Xia didn't miss any chance to be with me. While walking with me, he said directly: "Following the topic last time, I have shown you the monitoring. The other two other than you Everyone is suspected of killing your father and Shibai Mayu, and the identities of the two are temporarily unclear, but judging from the time difference, there is no accomplice between the two."

Urashita's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the slightly dimly lit stair steps. Regarding the key point of his words, I did not grasp his analysis of the case, but "Shibai Mayu".

I couldn't help but stop, and turned to face Urashita.They subconsciously frowned, and looked at each other with the same serious expression as him.This is the first time I heard Mayu's full name from Urashita.

Although I have communicated with Puxia many times, I have never been able to carry on a normal dialogue with Puxia. I resist and reject him from the bottom of my heart.And the conversation that has always failed to go on, is it because of this that I missed Shibai's surname, and it was not until Shibai Yayu appeared that I connected the two people together.

Seeing me stop, Puxia's expression softened a little.He stood like a vertical measuring stick behind his back, standing at the bottom of the steps with his back straight, looking up at me and meeting my eyes.

"Officer Urashita, do you know Ayu Shibai?"
