105 Chapter 105
"The king also died from the poison given by the physician."
Chihoko Hanano was suddenly struck by a stare from Toru Amuro. She took a breath and quickly glanced at the surveillance camera in the parking lot.
"Don't worry." As if he knew what was going on in Hanano Chihoko's little head, Toru Amuro said, "This is a blind spot for surveillance. They can't see anything."
Hanano Chiheko's expression relaxed slightly. She rested her arm on the car window frame and looked up at Amuro Toru carefully for a moment. "How long can you stay?"
Amuro Toru's eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously reached out his hand towards Hanano Chiheko. Then, as if thinking of something, his hand paused for a moment before he simply touched her head and said gently, "We can't stay here for too long."
"Oh." Hanano Chiheko took Amuro Toru's hand off her head and said seriously, "Mr. Amuro, what you said makes a lot of sense."
Toru Amuro understood what Hanano Chiheko meant and reached out to pinch her face.
Hanano Chiheko quickly dodged, frowning: "You're taking revenge on me!"
Amuro Toru looked at Hanano Chihoko with a faint smile, "Is the plan going well?"
Hanano Chiheko's expression remained unchanged. "She needs time to think about it."
Amuro Toru pondered for a moment, "We should be cautious."
Hanano Chiheko was silent for a moment, then looked at Amuro Toru. Although she felt reluctant, she still said, "Okay, you go out. I'll wait a while before leaving. I can't go out with you."
"Um."
Toru Amuro lowered his eyes and restrainedly stepped back a little, glanced at Chihoko Hanano, then turned and left.
Chihoko Hanano waited for twenty-five minutes before coming out of the elevator of the parking lot. She ran into Gin, who had been standing there for who knows how long.
Hanano Chihoko's heart trembled, and her eyes passed by Gin without a trace. Amuro Toru, who was listening to what he said, ran to Gin and said, "Brother, have you... completed the mission?"
Gin looked at Hanano Chiheko's inexplicably flattering smile and did not answer. Instead, he grabbed her and walked away.
"Hey, brother!"
Chihoko Hanano was taken into the car by Gin for no apparent reason. Seeing that it was difficult to capture Gin, she turned to Vodka in the front seat and asked, "Brother Gin, who messed with him again?"
"Hey, this..." Vodka turned his head to glance at the oppressive face of Gin next to Hanano Chiheko, "You should ask the boss."
Chihoko Hanano hit a wall again, and thought that as long as Toru Amuro was fine, it would be fine, so she calmed down, got angry as usual, and kept silent, acting like a wooden man.
The Porsche drove to the door of the house, and Gin took Chihoko Hanano upstairs.
With a "bang", the door was quickly opened and then quickly closed.
In the blink of an eye, Chihoko Hanano was pressed against the door by Gin.
Gin's cold tone, coupled with his green eyes that glowed in the darkness, was inexplicably creepy. "Did you do what happened to Shibata Shoichi?"
Hanano Chihoko's heart suddenly turned cold, and she opened her eyes wide: "What? What happened to Shibata Shoichi?"
"No, how did he, a policeman, get involved with you? What did you do to him?!"
Chihoko Hanano became more and more excited as she spoke. When she said the last sentence, she grabbed the collar of Gin's windbreaker and shouted in a trembling voice.
The dark environment can magnify any subtle emotion of a person. Gin let Chihoko Hanano pull him like this, breathing rapidly, and saw all of Chihoko Hanano's expressions.
Her heart was pounding and Chihoko Hanano could only feel her adrenaline soaring.
"He's not dead."
Gin finally spoke. Hanano Chiheko paused for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Then why did you mention him?"
Gin did not answer immediately, but instead rushed forward unexpectedly and hugged Hanano Chihoko tightly.
The aftertaste of Seven Stars cigarettes instantly filled her nose. Hanano Chihoko froze for a moment, but she didn't push Gin away. She softly asked, "Brother, are you okay?"
Gin lowered his head and breathed much faster than before, "Starting tomorrow, your partner will be Midorikawa Hikaru. Don't see him anymore."
The word "he" was pronounced very heavily, which made Hanano Chiheko suddenly feel a fear of being seen through.
Thinking of the scene she saw when she came out of the parking lot, Hanano Chiheko swallowed subconsciously, "Okay, I'll listen to my brother."
The coldness around them finally dissipated a little. Gin raised his hand and touched the spot on Hanano Chiheko's face where Amuro Toru had pinched her during the day. His expression was terrifyingly focused. "Be good, child. There will be a reward tonight."
Hanano Chihoko inexplicably got goosebumps all over her body, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. "What...reward?"
In the middle of the night, Gin lay down on his side, and Hanano Chihoko finally knew what the reward Gin was talking about.
Gin opened "One Thousand and One Nights" and said, "What do you want to hear? Brother will tell you."
Perhaps because she was frightened by Gin's unusual condition today, Hanano Chihoko inexplicably remembered the origin of the story of "One Thousand and One Nights" and began to doubt the possibility of her successfully surviving to dawn tomorrow.
Whether you can see the dawn or not, you should have a good sleep tonight.
Chihoko Hanano comforted herself for a while, felt much better, and snatched the book from Gin's hand.
From childhood to adulthood, Gin has always told stories from the front, so Hanano Chiheko has heard the first half of the story by heart, but has not heard the latter part much.
Tonight, Hanano Chihoko did the opposite. She turned the book over, starting from the back, and showed the last page to Gin. "I want to hear this—The Story of the King and the Physician."
When Gin tells stories, his voice seems to have lost its usual sharpness and become soothing and gentle, which is very helpful for hypnosis.
Halfway through listening, Hanano Chihoko felt a little drowsy, and her breathing began to become long and regular, at least much slower than when Gin was interrogating her.
"…The king finally believed the slander and killed the physician, who then poisoned him and the king himself died."
After Gin finished reading the last sentence, he looked at the ending of the book for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.
“Hmm…”
Chihoko Hanano didn't know what she was dreaming about. She slept very uneasily and murmured aloud.
Gin shifted his gaze from the page of the book to Hanano Chihoko who was sleeping with her eyes closed.
After a long time, Gin reached out his hand towards Hanano Chihoko in the silence.
【Author’s words】
I feel like the king is extremely perverted. Maybe when he reaches that position, he has nothing to worry about.
