Chapter 31 Secrets (Part 2)

"You are asking the right person. Although I was still working as a security guard at Sony Corporation in Tokyo when the accident happened, in fact, there are few people in Aichi Prefecture who know more about the old school building of Dehong High School than me, because Taro told me these things."

The old man paused mysteriously, probably expecting Paine's praise.

As a result, Paine was very disrespectful. Not only did he not ask questions, but he used his eyes to urge him to continue.

So the old man could only talk on his own.

"When the accident happened at Dehong High School 17 years ago, Taro also wanted to expand his convenience store business, so he contracted the convenience store on the campus of Dehong High School through bidding. Therefore, he was the first to personally experience the incident at Dehong High School. At that time, Dehong High School was still a relatively popular school in Aichi Prefecture.”

The old man's mouth felt a little dry as he spoke, so he opened a bottle of soda and poured two sips into his mouth.

"Don't look at what Dehong High School is like now. It used to be a very famous sports school in Aichi Prefecture. The baseball team has the strength to compete in Koshien, and the basketball and judo are also at a level that can compete in national competitions. Come on. There are so many students signing up, and even people from other counties are willing to come all the way to study.”

"It stands to reason that opening a canteen in such a popular sports school is a business that is sure to make a profit. Middle school students are already growing in size, and Dehong High School is a sports school. Students with sports specialties have a huge appetite. So, Everyone is a big patron of convenience stores. That’s why Taro had to risk his family’s fortune to win the convenience store in Dehong High School. But he never expected that this seemingly good business that would make a profit without losing money would not only make him almost Not to mention losing everything, I almost lost my life.”

"Lost his life? What kind of explanation is this?"

The old man made a gesture asking for money, so Paine had to hand over a banknote first.

The old man took it and put it in his pocket.

"Because not long after he opened his business, he encountered several unlucky things in succession. One night, when the students were basically out of school, a boy with some bruises on his face came to his store to buy a skipping rope. Taro Of course I sold it to him directly without thinking about it, and guess what happened the next day?”

Paine did not cooperate with the compliment and stared coldly at the old man who seemed to be about to write a book.

The old man felt bored and could only continue.

"The next morning, the boy hung himself in front of the classroom, using a rope he bought at a convenience store."

Paine knew in his heart that this should be the first boy to die that he saw in the information.

"Maybe he was bullied, but what does this have to do with the store manager? He wouldn't have thought that the rope would be used to commit suicide."

"If it were just this one thing, then it would be nothing but some bad luck. It's just that Taro encountered another bad luck the next week. A girl who came to his convenience store to buy a ballpoint pen died unexpectedly on the way back to the classroom. , the cause of death was also very coincidental - when she went upstairs, she accidentally threw away the ballpoint pen in her coat pocket. As a result, she slipped on the ballpoint pen and hit her head on the sharp corner of the fire door that was not closed tightly. He just died like that."

The old man smacked his lips and said it was a pity, "I heard from Taro that the girl was still the school beauty at that time. She was young and beautiful, but her death was really unworthy... This way of death was really child's play."
