Chapter 28 Residents of 304
Chapter 28 Residents of 304
At noon the next day, in Room 102, Kuramae Apartment.
"What? You cosplay as Diablo, tie them up as 'Jesus cars' for racing, and sit on the hot tires behind them? Hey, hey, the chief store manager of the 71 convenience store in the Kanto region who tortured customers, I am The first time I saw it, it was really brutal, hahahaha."
On the phone, Higashino Kohei laughed exaggeratedly.
"Hey, don't mention it, at the convenience store, even if those three guys go to clarify and apologize early in the morning, I will not be able to be the manager of the reserve store. It will be good to let me work as an hourly worker in the future."
Araki Sousuke, who said "convenience store career is ruined", rolled around on the tatami with a phone in his hands, sighing.
"You can't just look for a job so blindly. How about discussing it with the guy before the second and learning from it... I don't have a position to give you advice... That guy is a full-time civil servant after all."
Higashino Kohei suggested.
"Before two? I haven't seen you for a while, I heard that guy is doing well..."
Sosuke Araki thought so, and dialed the number on his cell phone called "Ryoma Nizenzen".
Two years ago, Ryoma was also one of the sworn brothers who grew up in the orphanage with Sosuke Araki and Kohei Higashino.
Unlike the violent idiot duo like "Yokohama Two-Headed Dog", the two-headed Ryoma, who is a few years older than the two, is surprisingly talented in learning.
After graduating from high school, that guy was admitted to the Japan Metropolitan Police Academy in Tokyo as a recommended student.
Currently working as an inspector at the police station next to Shinjuku Gyoen... that is, an ordinary patrol.
On the other end of the phone, Ryoma Er said enthusiastically that he was free now and made an appointment to have lunch together.
Just then, someone rang the doorbell of the room.
On the screen of the video doorbell is a man in a police uniform.
The note came to the door... Could it be that I was found out for illegally disposing of garbage?
Do you want to pretend you're not there?
Impossible, I have fully confirmed that there are no items that can reveal my identity.
Calm down, Sousuke Araki, as a habitual criminal, you still need to have some dignity and confidence.
Thinking of this, Araki Sosuke opened the door with a guilty conscience but without changing his face.
"Residents, that's great. We knocked on many doors, but no one seems to be living here... May I ask if you have any contact with Ms. Okimoto Rika in Room 304?"
304, seems to be that tall woman.
"I just moved here not long ago, and I saw it a few times through the window from downstairs. It seems to be a tall woman with short hair... What's wrong?"
"Is it a new resident? Then I don't think we can get any useful information... What a pity..."
While recording the testimony in his notebook, the young policeman sighed.
"It's a bit of a mess in the room, let's go out and talk."
Araki Sousuke closed the door, handed him a cigarette skillfully, and walked outside.
There are still a lot of "goods" in the room that haven't been delivered in time. If someone finds out the clues from the packaging, they will be in jail.
The uncle in the house diagonally opposite was also being questioned by another policeman through the crack of the door.
In front of the Zangqian apartment, several police cars and ambulances were stopping at the door with their sirens flashing.
Many residents of the surrounding communities and passers-by were looking around outside the apartment gate.
Araki Sousuke lit the cigarette for the other party, and then answered some routine questions according to the other party's request, most of which were about the situation of the 304 residents.
At this moment, several medical staff came down carrying a body bag on a stretcher.
Judging by the shape, it should be a petite woman inside.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
The two who were standing under the eaves smoking a cigarette hurriedly stepped aside.
Seeing the body bag, Araki Sousuke curiously asked in a low voice.
The young policeman whispered hesitantly: "Hey, Ms. Okimoto Rika's mother has been unable to contact her for more than a month, so I came here from my hometown to check the situation, and found that the door was locked from the inside. Wait for the police to open the door. It was found that she had hanged herself by the window long ago...
"Eh? That's really a pity."
Araki Sousuke also had a look of surprise and regret. Although he only said a few words through the door, the person he had only seen recently would disappear if he just said that.
The suicide rate in Japan is extremely high, and the police are already familiar with handling suicide cases, and the corpses are quickly loaded and transported away.
After leaving a business card for Sousuke Araki, telling him to contact him at any time if he remembered any information, the young policeman also left with the team.
"According to the degree of decay of the corpse, it has been dead for at least a month. The smell in the room is really... young, like bacon, what a pity..."
What Araki Sousuke didn't hear was that when he left, the young policeman was still looking at the information recorded in his notebook and murmured something in a low voice.
……
"Life is really impermanent."
Half an hour later, Sousuke Araki squatted at the gate of Kuramae's apartment, smoking a cigarette in depression.
Although I've only met her a few times from afar and said a few words through the door, I can feel that the lady in 304 is a very gentle person, so it's really a pity that she committed suicide just like that.
Just when he was sad, a latest black BMW stopped in front of him. The smooth and delicate paint surface reflected his frowning face.
"Park your car in front of other people casually. Is it amazing to be rich?"
Araki Sousuke, who was already in a bad mood, immediately put on a bad face.
"Hey, Zongsuke, why does he look like he's had a bowel movement in the middle of the day?"
The window was rolled down, and the person sitting in the driver's seat was a man with a hard face and a sense of justice, with "I am a policeman" written on his face.
"Dragon... dragon horse?"
Araki Sousuke looked at the other party in surprise, the cigarette dropped from his mouth.
The man in the car, wearing a police uniform and looking upright, is his best friend, Ryoma Erqian.
After working together in the orphanage for so many years, he never thought that Long Ma would pick him up in a BMW one day.
"The newest BMW is just different...the interior, the sound of the engine..."
"This is the latest model with a 360-degree camera...Hey, be careful, don't suddenly speed up in the urban area...The paint is very expensive..."
The black BMW was driving on the road, and the person in the driver's seat had become Sousuke Araki.
Soon, the two drove to pack some Chinese food and arrived at the single apartment next to the police station.
Ryoma's bachelor's apartment was as messy as Araki Sousuke's "kennel" before.
The two often packed food and had dinner here before.
Because you can take off your shirt and shake your arms to play.
As soon as he entered the door, Araki Sousuke immediately opened the small refrigerator in the corner familiarly, and rummaged through it.
In addition to beer, there are all kinds of suspicious bottles and cans in the refrigerator.
"You're lucky, I just happen to be off today... What kind of wine do you want to drink..."
Seeing Sousuke Araki curiously checking the contents of the refrigerator, Ryoma explained them one by one for him two days ago.
"These bottles are sake, red snake wine, eel wine... What do you mean? This is the snake whip wine I just brewed and I can't drink it... What, you don't know what snakes have? The scales are uncovered under the chrysanthemum Just one... that one can't be touched, it's a high-tech product from "Qiang" when I cracked down on the illegal organization last time, it is said that eating one pill can drive piles continuously for a whole night..."
Saying so, Ryoma crossed his hands in front of him in a dignified manner before Er, and gestured for a twerk movement.
