The time goes back to the evening of August in late summer fifteen years ago. The evening breeze rustled the sycamore tree in front of the apartment. Zhu Fujingguang, who shared a room with his brother, closed his homework book. With good family education, he habitually finished the homework assigned by the teacher before going to play with his brother.
But today was different, because his brother Morobushi Takaaki went to attend the school's summer camp, so he had to hold the chilled watermelon that his mother had just cut, sit cross-legged on the sofa with an electric fan, enjoying the refreshing and thirst-quenching watermelon while watching the hit TV series "Mobile Suit Gundam".
Less than half an hour into watching, he smelled the aroma of curry coming from the kitchen. He quickly picked up the remote control to turn off the TV, ran to the kitchen, and said with a smile:
"Mom, let me help you serve the food!"
"Then I'll leave it to Xiaojing." Zhu Fushengmei turned down the heat and walked to the entrance. She picked up the mobile phone on the shoe cabinet, dialed her husband's number, and asked, "Husband, why haven't you come home today? Your favorite curry is already prepared."
"I'm already downstairs at home. On the way home, I saw some pretty good blueberries, so I wanted to buy some for my children." Zhu Fu Shisheng looked upstairs with a smile. He looked forward to seeing his lovely son and beautiful wife after get off work every day. This made him more and more positive about life and he looked forward to the future.
After the sensible Zhu Fujingguang put the spoons in order, he did not forget to pour ice chocolate milk into his small mug. When he heard the noise coming from the entrance, he immediately put the slippers in order for his father.
"I'm back."
"Welcome back, Dad!"
"Jingguang, these are the blueberries Dad bought for you! If they taste good, I'll buy some more for Gaoming tomorrow."
Zhu Fujingguang happily accepted the blueberries. Through the transparent plastic shell, he could see that each one was plump and round, and looked very delicious. He thought it must be delicious, so to save some money, he decided to put it in the refrigerator and enjoy it with Brother Gao Ming when he got home.
The ordinary dinner for the family of three began at around 7 p.m., and Zhu Fu Shengmei did not forget to take out the ice beer that had been prepared in advance from the refrigerator. She knew that her husband would drink half a bottle every night to satisfy his craving for alcohol.
But just as dinner started, there was a loud doorbell ring, followed by a hurried knock on the door. I don’t know what urgent matter it was that made the people outside the house unwilling to wait patiently.
"You guys eat first, I'll go see who's here." Zhu Fushisheng stood up and walked towards the entrance, but he never thought that once he opened the door, he would lose the chance to enjoy dinner, and would never be able to fulfill his promise to buy the blueberries that the children liked for them.
Lost in memories, Zhu Fujingguang folded his hands together and said with gritted teeth:
"The man who came seemed to be an acquaintance of my father's. Although I couldn't quite make out the specific content of their conversation, I could tell from their tone that the atmosphere was quite good at the beginning. But not long after, the man's voice became louder and louder, so my mother went to the door to check what was going on."
His father's painful voice emerged in his mind, and Zhu Fujingguang was tortured every time he recalled it, as if the memory could drag him into that terrifying night filled with the smell of rust. He even remembered that he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he didn't know when the iron spoon in his hand fell on the table.
"Soon, I heard my father's painful groans. When my mother came running back to tell me, her expression was clearly terrified. But she still locked me in the closet and told me to face the man alone. She also told me, 'You can only come out when I tell you to.'"
"But after that, I could hear my mother arguing with the man. But eventually her voice died down, and the smell of rust gradually spread. Even I could smell it from the closet."
The smell of rust, the smell of blood, the main component of hemoglobin in red blood cells is iron.
Fujiwara Yu frowned and thought about the scene pictures he saw in the news at that time. If he remembered correctly, the floor was indeed a mess. Even though the police mosaiced the photos when they were released, it was still certain that a large amount of dark red floor on the ground was not the original color of the floor, but a sign of being stained with blood.
"Do you remember what happened afterwards? Didn't the murderer look for you? You know, there were tableware for three people on the dining table. If the goal was to kill the whole family, there would be no reason not to look for you." Matsuda Jinpei looked at Morufushi Kagemitsu with a serious face and asked.
"After that, I heard singing. It wasn't my parents' voice, but a deliberately sharp, seductive voice, singing the same words over and over in a rhythmic manner."
Zhu Fujingguang took a deep breath to calm himself, but he didn't expect that his expression was still terrified. He tried hard to control his voice and continued:
"So I trembled and looked out from the gap in the wall cabinet, and saw a man holding a bloody kitchen knife in his hand, humming words like 'It's okay, come out quickly'..."
Upon hearing this, Matsuda Jinpei quickly grabbed Jingguang's shoulders and said excitedly:
"Where's his face? Didn't you see his face?!"
"No... because I was too scared to look at it."
Yin Dahang held his chin with his hand, pretending to think. He repeated the content of the humming in his mouth. After reaching a conclusion, he raised his eyes and asked:
"Hey, I'm wondering if the person he's looking for isn't Zhufu? But someone else?"
"Someone else?"
Zhu Fujingguang heard this and tried hard to recall the scene at that time. The fragments of memory were gradually pieced together. He closed his eyes and recalled:
