"What are you..."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Gu Xing couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Gu Xingjun, let me tell you the truth."
Matsumoto Yoshiro raised his head twitchingly, looked at Gu Xing with red eyes, and started to talk,
"I also have an elderly mother to take care of in my hometown, a wife and children to support, and a lot of debts to pay off in business. I am the mainstay of the family. If I leave like this, who will take care of my wife, children and mother... ...There is still a large debt to be repaid... I came to Lidu just to do some things as entrusted by others. I stayed here temporarily for a few days. How could I be so unlucky?
Just now, I was still struggling fiercely as to whether or not I should secretly find Chiyo-san and ask her to change my room. This thought is driving me crazy, I am really ashamed of myself..."
Only then did Gu Xing notice that Matsumoto Yoshiro's eyes were densely bloodshot.
"Your thoughts are perfectly normal. What I mean is that any normal person would have such thoughts when faced with such a situation."
Gu Xing patted his shoulder, "It's fine now, you don't have to worry about it anymore." By the way, you should still bring the contract you originally signed with the landlord. "
"Here." Yoshiro Matsumoto quickly found the contract from the drawer.
"The agreement with the landlord has been voided before," Gu Xing took the contract and turned it over, "Now, we will void the contract in your hand, and then you can sign another agreement agreeing to change rooms, and that's it."
Gu Xing wrote the exchange agreement on a white piece of paper and gave it to Matsumoto Yoshiro to sign.
Yoshiro Matsumoto saw a line that read:
[I, Yoshiro Matsumoto, agree to transfer Room D-004 in the basement of the Nara Apartment to _______ for living. After signing, the agreement will come into effect...]
He couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to transfer the room to someone else?"
"Oh, I don't know. It will probably be transferred to an investigator or something very powerful. In short, don't worry, they have a way to deal with Fujino."
"I can rest assured that."
Yoshiro Matsumoto signed his name on the contract with trembling.
"That's good," Gu Xing said with a smile, "Please leave this room first and wait for the news in my room temporarily. The room number is D-019. The door is unlocked. You can just open the door and go in."
"thanks, thanks!"
Matsumoto Yoshiro bowed to Gu Xingshen, walked out of the room, quickly returned and bowed again, solemnly thanked him again before leaving.
After he left, Gu Xing closed the door and locked it.
At this time, Gu Xing calmed down.
Open the room transfer contract and lay it out on the desk, and write in the blank space of [I, Yoshiro Matsumoto, agree to transfer room D-004 in the basement of the Nara Apartment to _______ for living. After signing, the agreement will take effect...] The word "Gu Xing".
After that, he also signed the signature of the agreement.
The note came with new information: [Wow, Gu Xingjun is amazing, he has committed suicide. Wait...should I look for a new successor to the describer?]
Gu Xing remained unmoved.
The moment Yoshiro Matsumoto left room D-004, Gu Xing felt a warm mental wave coming from the book in his arms.
He looked at the cover of the book. At this time, the title of the book had changed from "Grandma Jichun" to "A Collection of Weird Stories of Grandma Satomi Who Rejected Usury".
Gu Xing firmly believed that this was the code sent to him by Grandma Li Mei, telling him with absolute certainty that he was on the right path at the moment. Gu Xing had a hunch in his heart that grandma would definitely appear.
After writing his name, Gu Xing felt particularly comfortable and comfortable.
He indeed struggled like Matsumoto Yoshiro with great difficulty before making the final decision. But when he actually took the last step, he felt extremely relaxed and his thoughts were clear, as if the decision he made at this moment was the only correct one before him.
Gu Xing couldn't help but watch Yoshiro Matsumoto, who was switched to D-004 because of him, being cut into pieces. Yoshiro's family was still waiting for him in his hometown.
Gu Xing couldn't let Chiyo and Matsumoto Yoshiro switch back to the room without any trouble, and the promise to Ryuichi was still echoing in his ears.
Gu Xing couldn't do it even more. After solemnly promising the old man to be the first to greet Fujino, he turned around and broke his promise.
Since grandma worked hard to overcome the constraints of weird rules and sent him such a warm and strong signal, why didn't he dare to take a brave step forward?
Gu Xing could feel that the small hole was deliberately disturbing his mind, bewitching his desires, and increasing his hostility. Fortunately, he caught this before everything went bad.
"Actually," Gu Xing said to the note, "You want to lead me into hell, Dongsang, I won't go."
【Hey, let's see】
…
At almost the same time when Gu Xing knocked on the door of D-004 room and prepared to commit suicide,
Shiratiao followed Red Shirt into room D-007.
Hong Shi sat on the chair, crossed his legs, put his head in his hands and looked at the ceiling. The damp air caused a large crack in the wall to look like a tree root.
"I don't know what you think,"
Shiratiao took off his police cap, his forehead covered with sweat, "But when I saw the old man being smashed into pieces, I felt very uncomfortable, and I couldn't go on like this!
If this continues, not only the entire basement, but also the residents of this apartment may not be spared. You must find a way as soon as possible. If you can't think of it, apply for support from the police headquarters. If the headquarters can't think of it, ask the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. support. "
The red shirt still looked at the ceiling with some indifference, "Sit up your position, Shiratori-san. When will it be an ordinary policeman's turn to point fingers at the weird investigators?"
"Haha," Shiratori almost laughed angrily, "It's really awesome. The weird investigator can watch the residents die one by one!"
"There are too many weird incidents in this world," Hong Shi replied slowly and leisurely: "It is normal for one hundred and eighty people to die in one case. The reason why it was not widely spread in the past was because the memory of the person involved was manipulated. Do you think nothing really happened?
This case has just begun. There are only three or five victims. It is such a mild and bizarre case that only targets the residents in the basement. And so far, there is no sign of casually harming citizens other than the residents in the basement. Why are you panicking? "
"Mild and grotesque?" Shiratori's voice was so angry that it was distorted, "This is mild and grotesque!"
Shiratori kept pointing to the [Asahi Shadow] on his chest (golden cherry blossom emblem, national police symbol),
“Excuse me, as a weird investigator, are you considered an honorable member of the police force of this country?
If so. Did you solemnly swear when you joined the job - I will faithfully support the country's constitution and laws, abide by orders and regulations, will not be afraid of anything, will not be hated by anyone, and will perform police duties with my own conscience and be fair and impartial!
May I ask, have you made such a vow?
Isn’t it our sacred duty to clear away the haze and make the sky clear, protect the citizens from harm, and seek justice for the victims? Isn’t it our conscience?
If you step back at this time, when will you move forward? When will the world be at peace? What is the truth? Is what we do worthy of this [Asahi Shadow] and the oath we once swore? "
The red shirt looked at the white bird and remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he sneered: "But, how many people can really do this? Especially when protecting the safety of citizens requires sacrificing oneself? May I ask, which of your colleagues from the Criminal Division of Jing'an Police Department can do this? ?
It needs to be emphasized that such sacrifice may not bring about a good result. "
