Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 246
In the Public Security Bureau, the atmosphere here seems to be the lair of some kind of monster.

There was something depressing about it.

The vigilantes exuded a certain—primitive smell.

Xia Tingfei looked at these security guards carefully for the first time and looked at their eyes.

The eyes of these security guards are dangerous - the civilized atmosphere in them is constantly dissipating, and the primitive ferocity is spreading.

——These are the guys that the old man Sakuma came here for. He wanted to use these beasts to bite Naquma Ai.

Arriving at the gym, Sakuma Seimei is practicing sword practice here.

She raised the wooden sword high and swung it down again.

Finally there was stagnation again.

"How about it?"

She asked Xia Tingfei.

But it's hard to say how good Xia Tingfei's swordsmanship is.

He himself is just a guy who takes shortcuts, so his evaluation is not limited to the subtlety of his moves.

The main thing is to pay attention to the meaning of the sword.

"It's barely possible, but there isn't much determination. The entanglement mixed with it makes your blade no longer sharp. No matter how subtle your moves are, they are nothing without the courage to use them."

Sakuma Kiyomi doesn't care too much about such comments.

She loosened her ponytail and sat across from Xia Tingfei: "Are you here to ask about the hospital?"

"Yes."

"There have indeed been several missing cases in the hospital. Some were taken away after giving birth, but some were taken away after miscarriage. The connection is indeed fascinating. But this time period , spanning several years, even the Public Security Bureau was unable to find out everything."

Sakuma Seimei said: "Moreover, several of the girls have already left Qingchuan. We only have two confirmed names, and they are still living in Qingchuan. If there are traces, then they can only be found from Qingchuan." Look for it in these two women."

Sakuma Seima told Xia Tingfei a name - Aso Yoshiko

This woman is already in her 30s and is now a clerk in a newspaper.

Although life cannot be regarded as a gift, at least it is not bitter.

After telling Xia Tingfei the address, Sakuma Qingmei said that he would investigate the other girl.

"Who is that girl?"

Xia Tingfei asked, but Sakuma Qingmei did not say anything.

She said she would investigate.

After all, she was a security guard, and she wanted to slap old man Sakuma with her investigation.

Instead of relying on other people all the time.

After Xia Tingfei got the news, he did not leave directly.

And asked about those security guards.

"To me, those security guards don't look like security guards, but they look like Yakuza."

"Ha, it turns out this is the case." Sakuma Seimei said nonchalantly: "They, it turns out, can barely be called security guards. But what can they do if they make a mistake? They have to be dismissed. Have you gone to a village in the mountains?"

"You also know what it is like in the mountains. It is almost isolated from the civilized world. There are also various religions and belief in monsters and ghosts. The most convincing among them are witches and old people, while the security guards are Others crowd out.”

"So, the security guards can only continue to deteriorate and develop such brutal and rough characters."

She sighed.

Xia Tingfei said he understood, "So, have you really found any trace of the love between Qujian?"

Sakuma Seimei's expression changed again and again. She looked left and right, then stood up and closed the door of the gym.

Sitting next to Xia Tingfei, she whispered: "There is indeed a trace. Old man Sakuma has noticed that Qujian Ai has returned to Qingchuan again and is wandering around this area. I suspect that it is still Coming towards you."

Xia Tingfei frowned.

This news is not a surprise.

But, after all, I feel annoyed.

It made him feel manic and wanted to bite Qu Jian's neck.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing this irritable desire in his heart, he said, "Thank you, Sheriff Sakuma. I'm going to investigate this Yoshiko Aso."

When he walked out of the security station, Xia Tingfei could feel the security officers staring at his back.

Yoshiko Aso's newspaper is indeed a small newspaper.

The entire newspaper office is only a two-story building.

There was a vague wooden sign with an unclear name hanging at the door. If it hadn't been for the photo and accurate address, Xia Tingfei would not have been sure that this was the location of Yoshiko Aso's newspaper.

Open the door and walk in.

There is a small reception space on the first floor, and most of the space separated by plasterboard is the office space.

"Hello, I'm here to see Yoshiko Aso."

Xia Tingfei was wearing detective clothes and a wide-brimmed hat on his head, covering the upper half of his face.

The raised high collar also covered most of his chin.

At the front desk, he seemed a little surprised by Xia Tingfei's appearance.

But he still asked with a standard smile: "Who are you from Yoshiko Aso?"

"detective."

"Then can I see your ID?"

Xia Tingfei took out his ID and showed it to the lady at the front desk.

After the front desk lady confirmed that it was correct, she smiled apologetically at Xia Tingfei, then ran into the office next to her, calling softly: "Aso, Aso, someone is looking for me."

A woman with short hair raised her head. Her expression was confused and she didn't understand what was going on.

The front desk waved to her, and Aso sighed and left the station.

She had her work badge hanging in front of her body and her back was slightly hunched.

The aura on his body is just like that of an ordinary social animal.

Full of exhaustion and exhaustion.

【Social Animals】

There is such a label on the top of the head, and the characteristics of other parts of the body are all worn away by this part.

When she walked out of the office, she saw the detective standing at the front desk.

After sighing slightly again, she slowly walked over.

"Go out and talk, if you have something to do." After Aso Yoshiko said this, she walked out of this small newspaper office.

Sitting on a bench outside and lighting a cigarette, "What do you want to know?"

Xia Tingfei was a little confused about Aso Yoshiko's attitude: "About the matter of your child's loss."

His fingers shook slightly, and the cigarette ashes fell on his suit pants.

She tried her best to wipe it off, but it left a gray-white mark on her black suit pants.

Extraordinarily dazzling.

Looking at the gray-white Daozi, she was extremely tired.

After sighing deeply, he said, "Do you have the money?"

Xia Tingfei was stunned.

Before coming, he had thought about Aso Yoshiko's various reactions.

Maybe it's resistance, or maybe it's fear.

The only thing I didn't expect was her reaction.

Xia Tingfei touched his pocket and found only three or four ten thousand yen bills.

He took it out and handed it to Aso Yoshiko.

Yoshiko Aso didn't dislike it, she took it directly and stuffed it into her pocket.

"That was four years ago and I made an unforgivable mistake. I got pregnant."

Yoshiko Aso's eyes were a little hazy: "That was an unforgivable mistake. It really shouldn't be done, but that's how it happened."

With her eyes lowered, she looked at her palms: "If it were possible, I would strangle my past self."

"I am not here to listen to your regrets and self-blame." Xia Tingfei said silently: "I am not the pastor of the church and I am not responsible for listening to your confession."

Yoshiko Aso glanced at Xia Tingfei and said: "Four years ago, I went to the hospital alone. At that time, I wanted to abort this child. Because my work, everything about me, and my life cannot be ruined by this child. .”

"But when I walked into the hospital, I saw the pregnant women queuing up. They were all very young. For them, they probably have a lot of time to enjoy life and youth. This child is very important to them. It was a mistake."

Yoshiko Aso's expression was gloomy, and the original grayness on her face became more and more obvious. The faith and energy in her body seemed to be being extracted by some kind of monster.

——with a hint of despair.

"But, what about me? I am no longer young. Work makes my eyes dizzy, my skin becomes rough, and my hair becomes withered. Things that I could be proud of are constantly being lost. Time It’s really a disgusting thing. When I was a child, I longed to grow up, but when I grew up, I missed my childhood.”

"So, I am the one who did this hopeless thing and did this bad thing."

"Anyway, when I saw those little girls, I was shaken. I doubt that if I abort this child, what will be left of me."

"I thought about it and realized that I would have nothing left."

"So, I walked out of the hospital."

"To this day, I still regret it. Why did I choose to do that?"

Yoshiko Aso's head was lowered, and her short hair was swaying.

Like a broken flag, full of helpless decadence: "I sit back and watch the child in my belly, like a crazy juicer, slowly absorbing my life and everything."

"In order to welcome this child, my only support in life, I quit my job in a big company."

Aso Yoshiko raised her head, her eyes dim.

It should be a part of her pride when she works in a big company.

"It's the city center, and I work on top of a high-rise building. Standing by the window, you can overlook the entire Qingchuan. Watching the flow of people flowing in the narrow streets - I never thought about it at that time I would be one of those disgraced people I looked down on at the time."

"But, this is my own choice. After all, I am pregnant, so I have to leave."

"Although I have a pregnancy leave, after the pregnancy leave is over, if there is still a position for me in the company, I have to start from the most basic part, starting under my former subordinates. I can't accept it, So leave."

"At the beginning of my pregnancy, I was a little nervous. But gradually I felt familiar. I could wear very tacky maternity clothes, move my body to go shopping in the supermarket, and also learned techniques such as making soup. "

"I gradually felt a sense of joy. I couldn't wait to give birth to it and watch it cry loudly."

"But, one night, I woke up from a nightmare. It was a rainy day. The raindrops hit the glass, making the window scream horribly."

"I got up and prepared to close the curtains, so I slowly walked to the window."

"My palms were holding on to the curtains, and I kept gasping for air."

"I was too tired. After I rested, I straightened up and looked out the window."

"I felt that the darkness outside the window was too thick, and it actually blocked the trees." Yoshiko Aso's hands trembled slightly, and she looked ahead dullly: "I was just thinking and curious. A bolt of lightning exploded suddenly, and suddenly It lights up the sky."

"I - finally saw what that darkness was."

Aso Yoshiko turned her head stiffly and looked at Xia Tingfei slowly, her neck cracking.

"It's a huge bird! The black feathers are messy, and the rain is constantly falling from above. It has a pointed beak and red eyes. There is also a huge bird head on its shoulders."

"The bird's head was dripping with blood."

"I was extremely scared at the time, and even felt terrified." Aso Yoshiko said: "I almost collapsed on the ground, and there was severe pain in my stomach."

"I even fell into a coma. When I woke up, I was found in the hospital. When I asked the doctor, the doctor did say that I made the call myself. However, I definitely did not do that."

Aso continued: "At that time, I just felt scared. I didn't know why I would provoke such a monster. I went to a psychiatrist, but was told that it was a hallucination during pregnancy."

"I believed it was true. I was back home again."

"Later, the weird monster didn't appear as expected. I thought I was really hallucinating, and I was really under great psychological pressure."

"In looking forward to it day by day, I finally waited until it was time to give birth to my child."

"During the difficult and painful battle, I finally heard the child's cry. But at this time, the monster appeared again."

"She took my baby."

After saying this, Yoshiko Aso seemed to have lost all her power.

She talked about her experiences in a long way, but at the end, she only ended with a short sentence.

"Did you really see two heads on that rainy night?"

Xia Tingfei asked carefully and looked at Aso Yoshiko.

Other women only saw the head.

And definitely not two heads.

"Yes, two heads. That head was huge, as huge as a wooden stake, and it was incompatible with the monster. It was like a wedge nailed to his shoulder."

Yoshiko Aso said with great certainty.

That scene is still her nightmare.
