I (Tatsumi Sekiguchi) watched Enokizu walk away and was about to open the door and enter the room.
But I saw Ryoko sticking her head out, and she tentatively asked me if she had done something wrong to make Mr. Enokizu angry.
I didn’t know how to comfort Liangzi, and I didn’t know where the courage suddenly came from, and I directly agreed to investigate the case of Mu Lang’s disappearance.
But... I'm not a detective, I'm just an ordinary third-rate novelist.
I followed Miss Ryoko into the room in a daze. Maybe it was because I had just argued with Enokizu, which made me feel a little dizzy, and I even felt that the surroundings had turned into dark nothingness.
All he could see was the weak Gezi lying on the bed, Ryoko standing beside him, and a metallic-like light reflected from somewhere on the floor.
Maybe it's because of the loss of your lover? Miss Jianzi's mental state is very poor, and her whole person is in an abnormal state.
After all, I am not a detective, so I don’t know what I should ask Jianzi to promote the progress of the case. As a result, I suddenly thought of the love letter I sent to Jianzi twelve years ago.
So, I tentatively asked Miss Jianzi about the twelve-year love letter.
As a result, after hearing the love letter, Jianzi's bloodshot eyes widened and she became inexplicably irritable:
"What did you say!...Love letter...Love letter!"
"Why! Why would you ask such a thing! Ask the same thing as him!"
Jianzi's eyes obviously lost their rational light, and she stared at me with a deathly look. This terrifying look made me tremble!
"You...what do you know! Why are you like him, asking about things that only he knows! I have never seen anything like that! I don't know any love letters! I haven't even read them! Why, why are you so persistent? About that kind of thing! What the hell is a love letter about!”
Jianzi's expression was as ferocious as an evil spirit. I was so frightened that I took two or three steps back, but I was still confused because twelve years ago, I had indeed given Senior Mu Lang's love letter to Miss Jianzi.
Why doesn't she remember? Why would she say such strange things?
I felt dizzy and kept retreating into the darkness. The scene in front of me flickered like a movie. I saw Jianzi yelling like a crazy ghost:
"That's right! I received a love letter! It's me! Haha! I'm the one who received the love letter!"
Seeing that her sister was out of control, Liangzi quickly gave her a sedative. At the same time, she got close to me inexplicably and apologized to me. Although she didn't know what happened back then, it was obvious that Liangzi had forgotten everything about the love letter.
Ms. Ryoko's sudden approach made me feel very uneasy. I became aphasic for a moment and didn't know how to speak. The investigation was at a deadlock.
Seeing this scene, Ms. Ryoko didn't say anything and took me out of the room.
As soon as he went out, he saw Chuzenji Atsuko waiting in the hall of Kuonji Temple.
As soon as Atsuko met me, she asked me what happened to Enokizu.
When I mentioned Enokizu, I immediately remembered what that guy said and said angrily:
"That guy is hopeless. Let's take this opportunity to break up with him."
Although this was only a tongue-in-cheek statement, it made me very uneasy.
Because I found that I was simply not capable of investigating the case of the Kuonji family.
It seems that so far, the only thing that can be called a clue is Enokizu's vision.
Without Enokizu's help? Can I really solve the incident on my own?
"Atsuko, what did Brother Enokitsu say to you?"
Chuzenji Atsuko frowned, showing the same expression as her brother:
"It's strange. I just saw Mr. Enokizu coming out in despair. I thought something big might have happened, so I called out to him."
"I just called him twice or three times, but he didn't respond. It wasn't until the fourth time that he turned around and asked me if I was calling him."
I asked: "Then what?"
Atsuko shook her head in confusion, her face full of confusion:
"Mr. Enokizu didn't react until he found out that I called him four times. He muttered that it was like this and seemed to agree."
"Then, he went on to say, 'I couldn't close my ears, but I didn't hear anything. So that's it. It turns out that this kind of thing actually happens in this world, and there's nothing we can do about it.'"
"Anyway, I don't know what Mr. Enokizu saw. He just told me that I must not enter that room and that it would be better to call the police over quickly."
After hearing Atsuko's words, I understand Enokizu's words and actions less and less.
What on earth was he hallucinating? Maybe he didn't see anything at all and just wanted to find an excuse to leave.
I know that my ability alone cannot reveal the truth of the matter.
So he stood up and left, wanting to go find Kyogokudo to see what he thought.
But unexpectedly, he met Miss Liangzi standing in the flower bed in the yard.
As if attracted by her magnetism, I walked up to chat with her, and found that there were many datura flowers planted in the flower beds of Kuonji Hospital.
I suffered from depression when I was young. I briefly studied neurology and psychiatry, and I clearly understood that Datura flowers can not only be used as an anesthetic, but if consumed in large quantities, they can cause loss of mind and produce psychedelic effects.
I reminded Miss Liangzi to be careful about these poisonous flowers, but unexpectedly, Miss Liangzi reached out and held my hand.
"Mr. Sekiguchi, you are very familiar with pharmacy."
Miss Ryoko and I looked at each other. I was like a frog charmed by a snake, unable to move. All I could do was look back at her eyes.
This feeling made me feel bad, and I even felt sorry for my wife.
But I couldn't break free, I could only look at those beautiful eyes and listen to the beating of my heart.
Ryoko's breath blew in her ears, and she said in an almost inaudible voice:
"Please...save me."
I couldn't respond to Ryoko, I just felt dizzy.
——
The next morning, I came to Kyogokudo's used bookstore, intending to tell Kyogokudo about the progress of yesterday's investigation and asking Kyogokudo to help me.
We happened to run into our mutual friend, Detective Shutaro Kiba, at a used bookstore.
At first I thought it was Enokizu who revealed what happened yesterday to Kiba.
But as the conversation progressed, I learned that in addition to the mysterious disappearance of Makuro and the inability to give birth to Kyoko who was twenty months pregnant, there was also an even weirder past event in the Kuonji family.
About two years ago, three strange things happened at Kuuanji Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital.
Three babies died mysteriously in Kuuanji Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital.
The Kuonji family claimed that the child died after delivery and provided help with cremation.
However, this incident did not match the confession of the pregnant woman. However, because the police could not find any useful clues, the family finally had no choice but to reach a settlement with the hospital.
As for why Shutaro Kiba re-investigated this case from two years ago?
The main reason is that recently many fancy magazines reported the news that Jianzi was not giving birth after twenty months of pregnancy, and that Mu Lang mysteriously disappeared.
These magazines specialize in telling vulgar stories to attract attention.
As a result, rumors began to spread that Genzi had no feminine virtues, did not abide by women's conduct, and had sex with men whenever she saw him. His chaotic private life was difficult to describe.
In order to keep his desire and appearance forever, Jianzi kidnapped the baby, extracted the blood and squeezed the juice to make medicine for him!
However, these children cannot be reincarnated and can only turn into resentful spirits and possess them. Now that Jianzi has not yet been born after twenty months of pregnancy, she has obviously turned into a ghost mother and goddess!
And there are more outrageous reports than this.
Some magazines even suspected that Mulang's disappearance was probably caused by Jianzi.
Because Jianzi's desire continued to rise, she sucked Mu Lang into her belly...
I deeply hate this kind of distorted report, although I don’t know why Jiezi was unable to give birth for twenty months, why Mu Lang disappeared in the secret room, and the real cause of the mysterious deaths of the three babies.
But talking about evil spirits, or sucking living people into the belly, this is really ridiculous!
So Kiba and I decided to find the servants or nurses who had worked at Kuonji's house, and investigate the three babies who died mysteriously that year, as well as the secrets of Kuonji's house.
Uyama Hiideomi couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw the three babies who died mysteriously.
Because Maijo Keisuke's story structure is very sketchy.
First, a woman who was unable to give birth for twenty months and her husband who mysteriously disappeared in a secret room were used as a gimmick to uncover a past case.
This method of handling the story structure is very similar to the method used by Henggou Zhengshi teacher.
Coupled with this weird and curious atmosphere, Uyama Hinideomi was even more excited and a little proud.
Because he seemed to have seen through the hidden clues that Maijo Kyousuke had laid in the book.
The three babies who died mysteriously at Kuonji Temple must be inextricably linked to the frog-faced baby that Enokizu had visions of!
