"The following is an international news report that our station has just received. Another bus tragedy occurred in Peacock Kingdom. The whereabouts of the victim are unknown... At the time of the incident, a passenger secretly filmed a video..."
For the first time in her life, Akino Tanami sat in a taxi and listened to the news on the radio.
Her husband, Takehiko Urage, was sitting on the other side of the back seat, yawning and leisurely flipping through the news on his mobile phone.
There was a red rain falling outside the car window.
There hasn't been such a relaxed atmosphere for a long time... Ever since his son Saburo Uragawa was imprisoned in the confinement room of the Lito Police Headquarters, Akino Tagami's life began to be very difficult.
She has always regarded herself as a strong woman, and she often intervenes in the business of her husband's company and makes suggestions.
Tanami Akino is very different from those women who only do housework, shopping, playing billiards, and watching soap operas.
Under her guidance, a medical company under the Uragawa Foundation, headed by her husband Takehiko Uragawa, has prospered.
In time, Takehiko Uragata will definitely benefit greatly from this and be included in the vision of the top management of the consortium.
By then, the whole family will be even more glorious. For some reason, he had always looked down upon Takehiko Uraga's father-in-law, but he would definitely change his mind at that time.
Tanami Akino is never afraid of troubles and difficulties.
Including the matter of Saburo Uragaga, although what his son did disappointed and saddened Akino Tanakami, when dealing with such troublesome and difficult situations, Akino Tanakami could always treat it calmly and make meticulous arrangements with a man's heart of stone. Leave no clue.
Even later, she herself had become an expert at destroying evidence at crime scenes.
Because of what happened to Saburo Uragashi, Akino Tabami specially found some detective crime films to watch and study, and found that they were full of loopholes and many logical links could not withstand scrutiny.
Once after watching a suspenseful crime-solving film that was well-received on the Internet and boasted of its mysteriousness, Akino Tagami couldn't help but said to her husband: "These people take it too much for granted. The twists in the plot are just for the sake of twists. There are many loopholes to catch." Well, if I were to make a movie like this, it would definitely be better than what they made."
"Okay, okay," Takehiko Uragami said, "I have the opportunity to invest in a movie and let you direct and star in it."
This was a double entendre, and Tagami Akino quickly understood.
However, facing that kind of inhuman weirdness and the extremely paranoid investigators who specialize in dealing with weirdness, Tagami Akino is somewhat powerless.
Bidige
Fortunately, everything will be resolved satisfactorily soon.
My son should be back home soon after Mr. Mystery takes action.
The rain outside the window is still falling.
"You haven't arrived yet..."
The reason why Tanami Akino and her husband got into this taxi was to pick up their son, right?
Mr. Mystery has a very eccentric personality, and it is normal for him not to like guests visiting him in a special car.
"Son, son, why can't you argue with me?"
Tagami Akino sighed deeply.
What Saburo Uragawa did was indeed excessive.
For those girls who were deeply harmed, Tagami Akino actually felt guilty. Every time, she would arrange for someone to secretly transfer a large amount of money to the bank account of the victim's family as compensation.
Tagami Akino knew that this was far from enough, but he couldn't let his son Saburo Urageta really go to prison to atone for his sins, right? You have to understand the desperate mood of a helpless mother who doesn't want her son to suffer, right?
Uragisaburo would not remain so confused.
All along, Tagami Akino has wanted to find a suitable opportunity to make a fake show and teach her son a profound lesson. It's just that the company's business is really heavy and it's hard to spare time for special arrangements.
Is the lesson this time profound enough?
Uragazaburo should be able to repent, right?
If he is still so stubborn, Tagami Akino plans to send Uragusaburo abroad to a school with strict discipline built in the deep mountains and old forests, and cut off all pocket money, leaving only daily food and drink expenses. The most severe way to change his character and outlook. The method can be more ruthless, as long as the son can rein in the situation.
If nothing changes, just stay in that school.
"Wife,"
Takehiko Uragoe, who was on the side, suddenly sighed,
"We asked Mr. Mystery to deal with the justice investigator. Didn't we go a little too far? After all, the justice investigator didn't actually do anything wrong... Besides, the price was so high."
He didn't do anything wrong...but he almost killed Uragasaburo.
If it weren't for justice, Tagami Akino wouldn't have reached this point.
"Are you confused? You're still too full. I sympathize with such a cold-blooded character——"
Tagami Akino sneered:
"Do you know that if Zhengyi is alive, even if Saburo can be rescued by Mr. Mystery, he will still be captured by that cold-blooded investigator in the end? Do you believe it?
Do you think I was just temporarily dizzy, so I spent such a large sum of money to satisfy my endless desire for revenge?
If you don't uproot those weeds that are growing unchecked, they will continue to grow in the soil of your heart, annoying you to death! "
"...Why are you so angry?"
Takehiko Uragami picked up the phone again, "I'm not an ignorant person. I just didn't understand it for a moment. As long as you explain it clearly to me, I can understand it..."
After saying these words, the two people looked at the taxi driver in the front seat at the same time.
Tanami Akino immediately felt a little baffled. She didn't know why she would tell such a secret in front of a taxi driver.
Tanami Akino also noticed that the driver's ear on the right side moved.
Obviously, he listened to everything he said just now.
After getting off the bus, deal with the driver as quickly as possible. This thought came to Akino Tanami's mind.
"Nagasaki is a rainy day today"
It also rained in Nagasaki today...
Ming も爱も世てたのに,
Give up your life and love..."
The taxi driver played an old song called "It Rains Again in Nagasaki Today."
After hearing this, Akino Tiangami was suddenly touched.
This song was all too familiar to her. It is a love song between Akino Tagami and Takehiko Uragae.
It was still in the days of the university campus. On a morning of heavy rain, Akino Tanami forgot to bring his umbrella and was trapped at the bus stop, unable to move forward or retreat.
Takehiko Uragata rushed out from a nearby convenience store without an umbrella and was soaked in the rain.
The two of them hid under his large coat and ran all the way back to the convenience store... Under the eaves of the convenience store, Uragoe Takehiko handed her an earphone.
The song playing in the headphones at that time was "It Rains Again in Nagasaki Today". Later, Tagami Akino listened to that song countless times.
It's just that in recent years, she has been busy with the company's business and has gradually rarely listened to music...
Thinking of this, Tagami Akino couldn't help but look at Takehiko Urazuki.
"Wife..."
Takehiko Urazhi grabbed her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I've made you work so hard these years."
"do not talk."
Tagami Akino shook her head.
The two people looked at each other in the taxi in the red rain, their eyes full of tenderness and sweetness.
In fact, she was originally just an ordinary female college student.
It's just that the family situation is a little better than ordinary people. She never wanted to kill anyone, it was just fate that forced her into such a dark corner...
It's going to be okay, everything is going to be okay. Tagami Akino thought.
The company's business will get better and better, the son will become more sensible, the family will become happier, and the husband will become more prominent... Otherwise, for the sake of this song, let the driver go as quickly as possible.
"栬にこぼれるなみだの雨に,
My cheeks are covered with raindrops and tears..."
In the mist and rain, the taxi drove to the entrance of Lidong Expressway.
…
The night is getting darker and darker, in an apartment in Akita District, Lidu City.
"Second puzzle,"
Mr. Mystery, dressed in a red coat, walked silently deeper into the passage. He murmured to himself,
"How will Investigator Justice end his life?"
Xiaomi installed cameras in the corridor and Zhengyi's room. Surveillance shows that Zhengyi is sleeping soundly at the moment.
According to reliable information, Justice is a very difficult character. Not only is he thoughtful and decisive, but he is also very capable in combat. He is the well-deserved number one on the combat effectiveness list of Lidu's Bizarre Investigation Section.
According to the assistant's mystery analysis, with the strength of justice, even among the large number of Dongdu investigators, he will definitely be among the top three.
If justice abandons light and embraces darkness, and embarks on the path of crime, it will undoubtedly be included in the wanted list of black poker. Moreover, the ranking will not be low.
For such a character with good strength and online IQ, Mr. Mystery believes that there is no need to fight with the opponent forcefully.
We must take advantage of the enemy's overt and covert advantages to eliminate the opponent simply and neatly.
Standing at the door of Justice's room, Mr. Mystery raised the red wooden staff in his hand and pointed it at the cat's eye.
"Boom——"
It was the sound Mr. Mystery made himself, like the popping bubbles of a goldfish.
In fact, the attack Mr. Mystery just launched was called [Mysterious Death Impact], and the entire attack was completely silent.
It was a kind of explosive impact on the spiritual level——
The souls of humans who fall within the attack range will be taken away by the shock wave in an instant and become the living dead.
The advantage of [Mysterious Death Impact] is that it is unexpected and difficult to prevent. After the soul of the deceased is taken away, it is impossible to transform it into a grotesque. Saved one Soul Exploding Pearl.
The disadvantage is that the cooling time is very long and it requires a lot of mental strength from the user.
With Mr. Mystery's strength, even after using it, his face turned pale and he was on the verge of collapse.
"Ms. Akino Tagami, it seems you have to pay more."
Mr. Mystery put his ear to the door. There was dead silence in the room.
Taking out a piece of dark chocolate from his pocket, Mr. Mystery held it in his mouth and looked at the empty corridor.
"Viewers, I say..."
Mr. Mystery said, pressing the button on the side of the mahogany cane.
"Zi——"
A mobile phone-sized screen poked out from the middle of the cane.
"Viewers, have you guessed the second answer?"
"call--"
Surveillance video showed that at this moment, Zhengyi was lying on the bed snoring loudly.
"My little mystery,"
Mr. Mystery frowned and turned on the intercom at the end of the cane, "Let me ask, do people who are hit by [Death Shock] snore?"
"Well, justice is just that the soul was taken away," the mystery replied: "The body's functions are intact, that is to say - the snoring caused by the vibration of the palate during his sleep due to the narrowing of the upper airway... is not affected. .”
"Don't say these useless things,"
Mr. Mystery pointed his red cane at the handle of Justice's door, "I'm going in to give him a shot."
At this time, the door opened.
A beautiful lady walked out of the room and smiled charmingly at Mr. Mystery, "Hello, my electric light is broken."
Damn it, the room is clearly very bright.
But unexpectedly, it started to rain...
"boom!"
In a red luxury car, the exquisite doll in Mi Mian's hand exploded again.
"asshole……"
In the red mist, Mr. Mystery, with an ugly face, patted the ashes on his body.
Mystery wisely did not ask Mr. Mystery what happened.
"Boss, two scapegoat dolls have been destroyed."
The mystery driver in the front seat turned around and blinked, "This business is a huge loss."
"I know!"
Mr. Mystery crossed one leg and looked up at the bare roof of the car, "We actually joined forces with Yu Nu... How did we achieve that justice? It was like a mystery for the omnipotent Mr. Mystery. Lidu's Are all investigators so weird?”
"One good news, one bad news," said the mystery, "Which one should I hear first?"
"Stop playing riddles,"
Mr. Mystery said: "I'm not in the mood right now - just say it together, I know... the good and the bad can be combined."
"Uh...Tagami Akino and Uragawa Takehiko were also taken away by that taxi."
"So, the bad news is that the employer is gone, and the good news is...the employer is gone?"
The corners of Mr. Mystery's lips turned up again, "The key point is, no one paid me to protect this family, right?"
"Absolutely not."
"The employer has lost contact and the mission is suspended." Mr. Mystery leaned back in his chair tiredly, "Go back to Dongdu - also, record these two missions in my memo... After all, if you accept money from others, It would be great if it can be completed one day..."
"Aren't we going back to find justice now?" Riddle asked.
"He has seen through me," Mystery said, tapping the red staff in his hand, "He has seen through me! Do you understand... I don't want to waste another doll!"
The red sports car drove all the way to the entrance of Lidong Expressway...
The entrance to the toll station.
Tanami Akino, who had been pampered since childhood, couldn't stand the smell of fried chicken emanating from the corpse lying next to her.
She wanted to change positions with her husband on the other side, but unfortunately neither of them could move.
"boom!"
A red sports car sped past Tanami Akino.
…
【Relieve hatred】
Xiaodong asked in the taxi speeding through the alleys of Lidu.
"Yeah, not bad."
Gu Xing flipped through "Kita Eijiro's Collection of Weird Taxi Stories".
"Is Kubo Shoichi the only one left?"
【Um】
[However, something seems to be wrong with this guy]
Gu Xing also discovered it.
In the latest chapter of "Eijiro Kita's Collection of Weird Taxi Stories", there is this sentence -
"Kubo Shoichi rejected Kita Eijiro's call.
He's enforcing his own rules..."
