Children in the Sandbox——Tongxiang Wang8
This situation was chilling enough. Hideyoshi Haneda already had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked at his sister with worry in his eyes. Although he supported her to become a detective, she was still a child and he was really afraid that she would have some psychological trauma.
"Brother Ji," Sera Masumi held Haneda Hideyoshi's hand and shook it. They had already said goodbye to the aunt, and followed Yamashita Kiyoshi into the room. "Don't think about leaving me."
Haneda Hideyoshi smiled bitterly. His tomboy sister was always very opinionated. If he asked her to pause now, she would definitely sneak back alone, which would be even more unsafe. Now, he could only continue the search and hope that the bad premonition was just a premonition.
Yamashita Kiyoshi's home is very simple. The only piece of furniture is an old coffee table in the middle, which minimizes the possibility of accidental tripping. What makes it better than apartments that are decades old is that it has a private bathroom. The owner entered first and took out a few clean cushions with patches on them from the side. He hesitated again and planned to take the kettle to make tea.
"No, no, no, that's not necessary," Haneda Hideyoshi quickly stopped him, "No need for tea or anything like that. Masumi will have trouble sleeping if he drinks too much." Sera Masumi cooperated and said, "Yes, uncle, there's no need to be so troublesome." Who would dare to let a blind person make tea for themselves? Both their conscience and reason would go against it.
Just as they were still exchanging pleasantries, a sound came from next door again, as if a man was complaining about something. The soundproofing here was as poor as Yamashita Kiyoshi had described.
"Hey, you guys," a burly man said, "We agreed on 200,000 a day, but you guys haven't paid for a week."
"But, we already..." A weak female voice was then heard. Masumi Sera and Hideyoshi Haneda had to put their ears against the wall to barely hear the voice.
"Kana, I told you not to talk without permission, didn't I?" a slightly old female voice sounded, "Really, Wu, go educate your mother. She is old but not as sensible as her daughter."
Then there was the sound of punching and kicking, mixed with sobbing and begging for mercy, "Wu, no, don't, Mom, I'm sorry, but Lian, he really has no money..."
"That's because he eats too much," the old woman's voice was still kind. Yamashita Qing tapped the two people's shoulders with her cane, indicating that they should move to a place where there were water pipes buried in the wall so they could hear more clearly. "He didn't report before eating. What's the difference between him and a livestock? It's a shame for the family!"
"It really should be cleaned up," the old female voice mocked and insulted unscrupulously, "The garbage should be thrown out."
"Just like the previous one."
Hearing this, Haneda Hideyoshi made a solemn gesture to Sera Masumi to retreat quietly. The poor sound insulation had a two-way effect. He was now almost 100% sure of the nature of the case. He just wanted to quickly pull his sister away and call the police over. Although Sera Masumi looked like she wanted to listen more, she still followed her brother's instructions and pulled the confused Yamashita Kiyoshi out of the room.
"This family is so weird," Sera Masumi couldn't help complaining as soon as they were at a safe distance, "Everything needs to be reported, there's an old woman giving orders, and if you don't obey you'll be beaten, and she doesn't do it herself, she's directing other family members..."
Haneda Hideyoshi's face was not very good. "Masumi, if I'm not mistaken, the Mizuno family should..." He was still considering his words, but he saw Yamashita Kiyoshi next to him always looking in a certain direction. "What's wrong, Mr. Yamashita? Is there anything over there?"
[Taste] In order to facilitate communication, some pages of Yamashita Kiyoshi's notebook have common words written on them. He tried hard to turn over two pages to show Haneda Hideyoshi [Over there]
Sera Masumi also poked her head out. "Garbage collection center?" She ran over there, the wind blowing her hair back. "It might be the smell of garbage. I'll go check it out first."
"Majun!" Haneda Hideyoshi's voice was more severe than ever before. He grabbed the little sister's shoulders and dragged her behind him, "Don't move!"
——A few crows landed at the destination planned by Sera Masumi, and used their long beaks to push aside the plastic bag, causing cat litter to scatter all over the ground.
Half of the little face that had begun to rot was revealed.
