Chapter 223 191. The surge of sorrow (please order in full)
No one knows what Yuzi’s family environment is like, but just looking at her father’s evaluation of her, they seem to have some clues.
"Then can we go to Yuzi's room and have a look?"
"That's the room." The man frowned to express his disgust, then pointed in a random direction, and then He slumped back on the sofa and continued drinking. "If you have any questions, ask them as soon as possible. Maybe I won't be able to answer them later."
"I have asked all the questions now."
Li Ming nodded slightly, ignored the man's shouting and anger, and walked straight to Yuzi's room.
As soon as I entered, a smell of dust hit my face.
Yuzi's room is not big, but it is warmly decorated. On the left is a desk and bookshelf, and on the right is a wardrobe and bed. There is a big bear doll on the bed.
Li Dang walked gently to the desk, where Yuzi's diary and a photo were placed.
A large part of the front of the diary has been torn out, and the entries for the past few days are written in delicate handwriting:
"January 3rd, golden sun, sunny
Today I came home and my father was drinking again. He has been like this since his mother passed away. The smell of alcohol has never disappeared from him, completely. I can’t see the shadow of the gentle man before, why? Why has my father turned into a devil?
I have worked hard to work outside, why? Why can't you let me go? If only my mother had not passed away, things wouldn't be like this."
"January 16th, Thursday, yin
The drawing of the comics happened again. It's going to be postponed. The script written by Natsume was thrown away by the group of people today. When they found it again, it was covered with footprints and sewage, and it was impossible to see what was written on it.
Although Natsume has been comforting me, is it too much to waste other people's hard work like this? "
"January 21st, a sunny day, cloudy
The gang came to me again this morning. Can't they let me go? What are they going to do?! How can we escape from here?"
There are water stains on this page, as if water drops have fallen on the paper, and the handwriting looks particularly dark.
"February 12, Sunday, heavy rain
The umbrella I had been using all day today was taken away by that group of people again, so I had to go home in the rain.
Sure enough, when he saw me coming home in the rain, the man started scolding me again, with a bad smell of alcohol on his body. I lay back on the bed and wished I could sleep forever, as long as I didn't wake up. "
"February 19th, a sunny day, cloudy
The rooftop of the school is surprisingly cool."
The photo on the table is of my mother. The portrait stands out in the dusty room because its surface is very clean and it looks well-preserved.
There was a big bear doll on the bed, and the bed was made very clean.
Li Dang carefully checked the bed with grief. He found an object wrapped in cloth sandwiched between the bed and the wall. After removing the cloth, there was a well-bound picture book inside.
It should be the one mentioned in the diary...
The picture book is bound with ordinary lead drawing paper. It can be seen that it has been well preserved, and the picture book tells a story. It’s a very mediocre story about a hero saving a beauty. Turn to the last page and it says, “When will my hero come to save me?”
The picture book only has a cover, but no back cover.
At present, all the clues obtained can prove that Yuzi is not happy at school and at home. Under such double torture, she is forced to choose the path of suicide.
But as the circumstances of the case gradually became clearer, the suicide became more and more ambiguous.
"This way..."
Looking around, Kurosawa was standing near a very well-made stuffed bear doll. She found that the color of the sewing thread on its neck was incompatible with the surroundings. , Li Dang pinched the neck of the doll curiously, and he felt that there seemed to be some paper-like object stuffed inside.
After taking it out, I found that it was a folded piece of paper with beautiful handwriting written on it——
"Don't believe their words, don't believe what you see before your eyes, don't believe this world!"
What does this mean...?
Looking elsewhere, there are rows of comics and drawing books neatly placed on the bookshelves in the room. There are many categories of comics, and they all seem to be popular comics recently. They are all complete sets and appear to be well preserved.
And Li Dang soon discovered that there was a storybook on the bookshelf that seemed out of place with the other comics.
The story book is an ordinary chicken soup book, the kind where a story tells you a truth. One of the pages is folded with corner marks. That night is such a story:
"One day in the 1970s, three British scientists, William, Mushint, and Hedy, went from London to Scotland to attend a scientific research conference. Shortly after crossing the British border, they discovered a black goat.
“It’s really interesting. "Astronomer William said, "The goats in Scotland are all black. "
"Mr. William, it is unreliable for you to infer something without extensive evidence. Physicist Musint said to William, "As for the black goats in Scotland, we can only draw the following conclusion now: some goats in Scotland are black, not all." "
The logician Hedi immediately went on to say: "Mr. Mussint, your conclusion is not rigorous either. The only conclusions we are really sure of at this time are only in this area of Scotland, at least. There is at least one black goat living in one place. ""
There is only one sentence at the end of this chicken soup story——
"This story tells us that we cannot be preconceived and look at things one-sidedly."
Li Ming squinted his eyes. He seemed to be caught up in obtaining scattered clues again. Perhaps he had been drifting around in a daydream. , which made his spirit a little tense and his state a little mixed, so he didn't react for a while.
At the same time, he saw a black and red cloth strip in the closet with some words written in gold. Investigation found that it was a Taekwondo belt, which had reached the level of a red and black belt. Going further That's a black belt.
Is Yuzi actually a red and black belt in Taekwondo...
Then why is she being bullied?
She obviously had the ability to protect herself, but she still came to an end under these seemingly trivial tortures.
Li Dang thought of a metaphor that was not very appropriate. A thousand-mile embankment collapsed due to ants.
When everything in the room was investigated, everyone heard a whisper. The sound was very subtle, as if it was about to disappear at any time.
The voice seemed to be a female voice, she was pleading and crying.
"Help...please...you..." A sense of sadness arose spontaneously, and everyone realized that they could no longer stay in this room. The longer the time passed, the more intense the sadness in their hearts became.
Back in the living room, the alcoholic father has fallen asleep again and burps from time to time.
Hoshino Kei wanted to go up and beat him up, but was stopped by Li Ming.
"Don't forget the identities we are playing now. It's no wonder that you, Hoshino, can't be a policeman in your life." Li Ming smiled bitterly, "Although we know the specific situation of Yuzi, we can't do anything about it. To interfere in other people’s families.”
As soon as they left Yuzi’s house, everyone saw a petite figure walking towards them in the distance.
It was a female high school student wearing glasses, braided and carrying a bag, walking towards Yuzu's house.
"What are you..."
Seeing the people standing at the door, the girl took the initiative to ask.
"Miss Zecheng invited us here." Li Min pursed his lips, "We are currently investigating the root cause of the Yuzi incident. Can you answer some questions for me? Let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Ming, from Ikebukuro Police Station."
"I am Natsume Haru. , is Yuzu's friend. To be honest, I often can't find Yuzu recently. We used to go home together, but now I always go home alone. Ikebukuro is so big, I don't know where Yuzu has gone..." After talking about it, Natsume's voice became softer and softer, and his mood seemed very depressed.
What's going on?
Isn’t everyone aware of the Yuzi falling incident?
Natsume and Yuzi are in the same school, and she should also know about this situation. Why does she still look like this...
"Didn't Yuzi fall from the building?" Jiang Wenkan held his hands. , asked, "Isn't it normal that she didn't go home with you? "
"Isn't Yuzu alive?" Natsume was very confused by Jiang Wenkan's words. She blinked, "But if you fall..." Natsume didn't continue, "I... …I’m here to deliver homework to Yuzi.”
Natsume answered the question and quickly took out the key, opened the door to Yuzu's house, and walked into the room. Not long after, she walked out with her bag on her back.
Li Ming looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"So Natsume, can you take us to school? We want to know how Yuzu behaves in school, and this is what Miss Zecheng entrusted us with."
"Hmm..." Natsume thought After a moment, he nodded, "Then come with me."
The few of them were speechless all the way to Yuzi's high school——
Liye High School.
Under the guidance of Natsume, everyone came to Class A of the second year, which is located on the second floor of the new classroom.
The five people acted together and became a sight in the university. Everyone's eyes were focused on them. After seeing their destination, their doubts turned into indifference.
Just like an ordinary class, the classroom is neatly arranged with tables and chairs. Because it is after school time, the students in Class A are playing and playing in the class.
Li Meng immediately noticed that there was a table in the corner, which seemed incompatible with the eager atmosphere in the class. The table was far away from the other seats.
At the same time, he noticed that although the students around him occasionally looked at the five strangers, they quickly averted their eyes, and then whispered to their companions, showing mocking expressions from time to time.
“Um, is he a friend of Ibi?”
“I don’t know, but if you are friends with Ibi, it’s better not to get close. Hehe, you might get into trouble. ”
The sense of desolation emerged more and more...
Li Ming resisted the anger and turned away, and continued to check the tabletop of the desk, and finally he found a crumpled book inside. 's book.
The book is a very ordinary lined book, but it is full of comics. Although the entire comic is very simple, there are only rough storyboards and notes. There is basically no outline in it, and the notes only mention a few words like "Write the outline when the project is done" Good to fill it in~~!" and other words.
This is the picture book in the diary.
Next door to the classroom is the art room. On the left side of the art room are the students' lockers. In the right corner are drawing boards and easels, with many stools stacked up.
A few scattered students are practicing sketching in the classroom. Beside the wall in front of them, leaning against a transformation wrapped tightly in cloth.
On the locker, Kurosawa found a black bag. Hanging on the bag was a plastic bear pendant that was exactly the same as Yuzu's doll, with Yuzu's name paper on the side.
Opening the bag, in addition to the utensils that had been opened for a long time, there was also a box of brand new paints. The paint box was tightly wrapped in a transparent plastic film and had not yet been opened.
The back of the paint box was written with a black marker, "Happybirthday! Yuzu~!" The signature behind it was Hayami.
It can be seen that Yuzu still had some pure friendships with Hayami and Natsume in school.
Li Dang quietly walked to the painting and opened the painting wrapped in cloth. The painting was an oil painting with very delicate brushstrokes. In the painting, a knight in armor slashed at the devil with a sword. scene.
The photo frame of the painting is gold, and there is a note on the right side of the photo frame, "The 20th Tateno Middle School Art Competition Gold Award "Baptism of Blood"", signed by Ibi Yuzu.
Li Deng stared at the knight in the painting, and felt inexplicably that his charm was somewhat similar to that of Yuzu, but could that Yuzu really "swing a sword"?
"Um...excuse me, classmates, can you tell me about Yuzi? The incident we are investigating has something to do with her." Jiang Wenkan raised his eyebrows and slammed his hands to make a loud noise. , trying to attract the attention of the students in the classroom, "I will first Let me introduce you. My name is Jiang Wenkan. I am from the Ikebukuro Police Station and I am a police officer, so I hope you can tell me everything."
"Really? Police officer..." The students present put down their pens and started a heated discussion.
"It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake." Jiang Wenkan laughed.
"Yuzi stopped coming to the art room in February or March. Her painting tools have been kept in the art room and she didn't come to pick them up..."
"By the way, Yuzi is still the favorite student of the school's art teacher. That painting is also Yuzi's work. He won the gold medal in the school competition before. There is no reason for him not to come to the art room for class."
"Always. You can't get any more clues by asking us. Why don't you ask Yuzu's class teacher, Mr. Takeuchi, who is on the fourth floor of the new school building?" A boy wearing glasses raised his hand and said.
