【Taizhong】The Aesthetics of Legs

Chapter 17

In one's life, one always has to think clearly about three questions.

First, who am I?

This is a room of about ten square meters, the walls are made of dark gray cement, the floor is ordinary white tiles, and a hanging light bulb hangs in the sky, emitting a faint chirp.

Tick, tick, there was no clock in the room, but voices came from all directions.

Second, where am I from?

There is a huge glass window on the left side of the room, which occupies at least two-thirds of the entire wall. The glass is single-sided, and people outside can observe you through it, but you can't see anything inside, and It also has soundproofing properties.

In the center of the room is a table made of plastic, with iron legs firmly nailed to the ground to prevent criminals from lifting the table to attack during the interrogation process.

On the table was a glass with a small amount of water in it.

Third, where are you going?

The surface of the water in the glass trembled suddenly, and ripples rippled a few times.The door on the opposite side of the room that had been closed was suddenly opened, and a man with a plaster cast walked in from the outside, with a stack of documents under his armpit, wearing a sand-colored long windbreaker.

The other party smiled and waved the other good hand at her, but the pair of dark pupils under the fluffy black hair had no warmth.

"I really didn't expect us to meet again so soon." Osamu Dazai put the documents on the table, pulled out the chair in front of the table and sat down, staring intently at the thin woman with her head bowed in front of her, "Miss Akiyo."

Qiu represents Mei as another leg thief.

Faced with this conclusion, Nan Kimura firmly does not accept it.Leaving aside how the culprit could be inside the police, Akimi is one of the victims who was just kidnapped by Yuichi Takeuchi.And what can she do?She is nothing more than a newcomer to the police force with mediocre abilities, a cowardly personality and not much experience.How could it be a murderer?It's impossible, he doesn't believe it.

Then Osamu Dazai showed him the graduation grades of the Akimi Police Academy, which had been quietly lying on the desk of Namiki Village since the other party reported for duty. The grade column, without exception, was all A grades. .

This proves that Qiu Daimei is an out-and-out top student, fully equipped to commit crimes from mind to body.

Nan Kimura clenched the report card in his hand, and for the first time began to face up to this newcomer who had been ignored by him from the beginning to the end, but it was not face to face, but separated by a layer of glass.

He was still wearing a police uniform, but his hands were handcuffed, which added a bit of irony to the opponent's image.The corners of Akiyodaimi's mouth were still red and swollen due to the fight with Takeuchi Yuichi not long ago, but her eyes looked very calm, yes, too calm, and her eyes were even a little creepy after taking off her glasses.

It wasn't until this time that Nan Kimura began to believe Dazai Osamu's words.This man is a criminal.He was the criminal who brutally murdered nine young girls with blood on his hands.

"Since Yukina Yuko four years ago, a black-haired girl similar to Yukina has disappeared about every six months. They all have amazing similarities in appearance, age, and body shape." Osamu Dazai transferred the information to the flat Spreading out in front of Qiu Daimei, she propped her chin with one hand, "Counting Akitsu Yoko, there are nine lives in total, and the eight of them have not been found so far. They were all killed by you, Miss Qiu Dai."

Akiyomi, who was sitting opposite her, blinked, tilted her neck to the right bit by bit, and said in a confused tone: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dazai. Although I have been thinking about it since I came here, but I really don't understand your question..."

If the other party is not the murderer, she should be confused. Just after sending her father home, before she had time to change her clothes or treat the wound, the police officers—her colleagues knocked on her door. Without saying a word, he handcuffed the thing in her hand.One second he was an excellent police officer who received sympathy and admiration for fighting criminals, and the next he became an important criminal suspect.The rapidity of this reversal will indeed confuse those involved.

"I can understand that you and Officer Nan must have some difficulties, so I will try my best to cooperate with you within these 12 hours." Aki Daimi's considerate words deepened the shadow in Osamu Dazai's eyes. The interrogation of criminal suspects under certain circumstances shall not exceed 12 hours.That is to say, if Osamu Dazai fails to catch substantive evidence of Akimi's crime within 12 hours, the other party is likely to be acquitted.

But the trial dragged on for less than 12 hours.Osamu Dazai thought, Aki Daimi smiled at him for some reason.

She has an ace in her hand.

Zhongyuanzhong also lost contact.

The police officers who went to the house of Akimi to search helplessly reported that Chuya Nakahara was nowhere to be seen.But his car parked downstairs in Qiu Dai didn't move at all, and the phone couldn't get through.Concerned that he might be in a state of unconsciousness, searchers searched for all possible hiding places in the rented house, but found nothing.

Even if she questioned Qiu Daimei, her answer was "Mr. Zhongyuan left after delivering us".

Such an obvious lie makes people unable to catch the flaw.

"What do you want?" Dazai asked.

"Mr. Dazai is the one, what exactly do you want me to answer?" Aki Daimi put her hands from the bottom of the table onto the table, and the chains of the handcuffs rustled on the plastic table.While looking directly at Osamu Dazai, she slowly wrote with her fingers at an angle that Namki Village could not see outside the glass.

と—う—ち—ょ—う—き—を—け—す—し—て—く—だ—さ—い.

[Please turn off the monitor. 】

Her name is Qiu Daimei. Li is the theory of theory, and beauty is beautiful beauty.She is a police officer with excellent graduation grades but poor on-the-spot skills.That's why he was assigned to the patrol department before.Recently transferred to the criminal department, the only thing that hasn't changed is that she is still always blamed by her boss.And, as is now being identified, she was a murderer.

This is her answer to the first of three questions in life.

She watched the man who was covered in bandages and was dubbed a "suicide habitual criminal" go out. He is a warlock who is very proficient in manipulating people's hearts. This is not only reflected in his profession, but also in his dealings with others.After a while, the small red light on the ceiling, which symbolizes that the monitor is on, will go out, and Nan Kimura will not have any complaints.Even his thinking process will be controlled by Osamu Dazai.

What a formidable opponent.

She sat quietly in the room, knowing that someone must be watching her reaction through the glass that reflected her figure.In fact, she can put in a little more acting skills, people's emotions will always be expressed through various expressions and body movements, so as long as she forges these, she can turn back into the autumn that is always surprised because of a little thing. Acting beauty, she was able to deceive everyone before, and she can do it now.

But she doesn't want to do that.

Once again, the door on the opposite side was opened, and the red light on the listener was turned off.The interrogation room became a real, completely soundproof space where no one would know their ensuing conversation or disturb them.

She came from the barren and complicated "outside".

This is her answer to the second question.

"Officer Aizawa, the sofa has been disassembled and checked, and there is no problem."

Aizawa Yugo nodded, now the last places in the room where people could hide were ruled out.He looked around the cramped room, because too many people squeezed in, the air circulation was not smooth, and the collar around the throat made people unable to breathe.

In terms of personal affairs, he is not willing to take over the task of finding Zhongya in the Central Plains, but deliberately evading it shows that he does not care about the overall situation.

"Please, may I ask..." Mr. Akiyo stood outside timidly—he was obviously a tall man, but some of his behaviors were somewhat feminine, and his timid appearance was more like Akiyomei's male version.His complexion was not only pale, but even blackish.

"Did Rimi do something wrong?" Mr. Akiyo asked uneasily, and Aizawa Yugo hurriedly helped him into the room to prevent him from fainting.

This poor father must know nothing, and Aizawa Yugo looked at him with unabashed pity.When asked about the whereabouts of Chuya Nakahara before, Mr. Akiyo’s reaction also seemed very bewildered, saying that he was resting in the room at the beginning and did not know where the other party went.

"We also believe in the character of police officer Akiyo. Although I...have never dealt with her, this kidnapping incident is enough to show that she is a police officer with a sense of justice. If there is nothing wrong with this investigation Big problem and we will get her back safely as soon as possible...."

This is of course comforting words, but Mr. Akiyo grabbed Aizawa Yugo's hand excitedly, and the sweat on the palm of his hand rubbed on the back of his hand: "Rimi is a good child! She is really a good child!"

"I know, I know." Aizawa Yugo replied repeatedly, Mr. Akiyo's mood seemed very unstable, he hesitated for a long time before he spoke slowly, "But before that, I have a few questions about Akiyo The police officer may need to ask you a question, and it would be great if you could cooperate with the investigation."

"Ask! As long as it can help Satomi, I will answer anything!"

"The main problem is...well, please wait a moment." Aizawa Arima took out a small notepad from his jacket pocket, opened it, and pressed the attached ballpoint pen, "About Police Officer Akishiro’s mother, Mrs. Akiyo Kumiko, she disappeared when Officer Akishiro was 12 years old, right...Mr. Akiyo?”

As soon as the name came out of Aizawa Yugo's mouth, Mr. Akiyo stopped, his mouth opened slightly, and his pupils vibrated continuously, as if he had been greatly stimulated.

"Yes... I'm sorry..." He suddenly said such a sentence without thinking, then turned his face away stiffly, and began to cover his head and murmur in pain, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry sorry Sorry........"

If not for him!

Tick, tick.The pendulum swings from side to side at the center of the world.

"I always knew that there would be a day when you and I would sit face to face and chat at the same table." Acting Qiu put her hands on the table and said sincerely, "Although I didn't put you on the table when we first met In my eyes, I just feel that this 'frivolous and stupid man has no value at all', for which I want to apologize to you."

Qiu Daimei was very humble when she said these words, and even apologetic, but the darkness of the words used gave people a strong sense of incongruity.

"I have to say, Ms. Akiyo, your acting skills are very realistic, and we have suffered huge losses because you were too gullible." Osamu Dazai exaggeratedly held his chest, showing a painful expression, "So I can trouble you to put my Is your partner back?"

"It's useless to show weakness, Mr. Dazai." Agent Qiu smiled with a good temper, but what he said was threatening words, "I really want to have a good chat with you, if you want to continue the topic, please change it .”

Osamu Dazai withdrew his smiling face, looked at Akiyoyumi who didn't change his facial expression, clicked his tongue as if he was bored, and slapped Akiyoyumi with the back of his hand a few times: "You are not Takeuchi Yuichi at all. Companion, you've been thinking all along about how to send him to prison."

"Exactly, Mr. Dazai." There was a gleam of excitement in Akiyomi's eyes, like a child who won the first lottery, "Takeuchi's threats are not painful to me, he didn't even see that I was a woman .Poor guy, what exactly does he want from me? But sympathy is all sympathy, his ostentatious and high-profile behaviors give me a headache, after all, it violates my criminal aesthetics."

For the first time, the word "aesthetics" popped out of Qiu Liaimei's mouth, so natural and smooth, as if she had already regarded it as some kind of deeply believed creed.Although she doesn't fit the tone of the word in the slightest.

"It was not easy to figure out his identity at the beginning. He was a very insecure man. No matter how I asked him, he would only say that he was my 'loyal believer', but he was also a very smart man who knew how to use Aizawa Yugo's loopholes are counter-tracing. There is also a surprising point that he has a wonderful creativity, you see? Kamiki Yuriko created out of my mold, he gave her a new life Meaning, it is simply a rare masterpiece, even if this kind of generosity is contrary to my aesthetics, but this kind of artistry is worthy of praise."

Aki Daimi made no secret of her admiration for Takeuchi, even her tone was gratified, as if seeing her child grow into an outstanding adult—even though she designed to ruin him in the end.She glanced at Osamu Dazai, pretending to be surprised and said, "You don't seem to be touched at all. Doesn't this topic arouse your interest?"

"How could it be? Takeuchi's feelings for Shenqi are obvious to all." Osamu Dazai held his head, neither interrupting Akiyoyomi's chatter nor showing a trace of anxiety. He didn't know what he was thinking in his dark eyes. He tilted his head, "Please continue."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, and please forgive me if I speak poorly." Qiu Daimei nodded, as if they were really just having a daily chat in a coffee shop, she used her unique The delicate voice said, "Do you believe in fate? I think it is fate that I caught a sneak shot of Aizawa Arima on the street. At that time, I was still in the patrol department. When I checked Aizawa Arima's camera, I found that there were only human legs in it. There are also photos of the TTOL case. The shivering young man standing in front of him is so afraid that his father will know. Just show him a little kindness at this time, and he will take all orders from you. At that moment, I knew I won Now, Takeuchi and I have been guessing each other's identities, and I found his fatal pass."

"But just knowing Takeuchi's identity is not enough. I want to find someone who can see through his identity. I can't go to the front of the stage. Police officer Nan is too reckless. I need someone who is meticulous and strong... In other words, a combination." Akira's agent Mitomo Dazai raised the corners of his lips in an unclear manner, "The interaction between you and Mr. Nakahara really deceived me when we first met, and it made me sad and disappointed for a moment. But then I discovered that maybe only you can do it. Solve the case."

The water glass on the table shook, and Qiu Daimei stared straight at the rim of the glass.

"Tacit understanding is scary. It is not a hit-and-miss on the surface, but a deeper and more subtle involvement, like a spider web that connects to another person from the end of every blood vessel in the body. There is Sometimes it can even transcend emotions, ethics, and rationality. It is an instinct." Qiu Daimei's smile collapsed from his face in an instant, and his voice was so cold that it could fall out of ice scum, "So I hate this kind of thing very much."

On the other side, Mr. Akiyo, who was in a sleepy state, finally recovered from Aizawa Yugo's pat on the shoulder, and his eyes regained clarity.

"Ten, I'm very sorry, I don't want to say anything about my wife's matter for the time being..." Mr. Qiu Dai was sweating coldly, as if he was about to fall down in a second.If it goes on like this, you won't be able to ask anything.Aizawa Yugo also wiped the sweat off his brow, feeling that the room was terribly stuffy.

"I see, you should take a good rest first, and we will deal with the matter of the police officer Akiyo." Aizawa Yugo patted the other person on the shoulder, and Mr. Akiyo remained unresponsive like a dead person.He looked at the gradually sinking sky outside the door. When it got dark, it would be more difficult to search for Zhongya Zhongyuan. At that time, Qiu Mei and Chuya Zhongyuan had not been away for a long time. If she wanted to hide Chuya Zhongyuan, she would either be at home or Near here.

After again telling Mr. Akiyo to relax, Aizawa Yugo led a group of police officers to evacuate Akiyo's house.

The noisy room suddenly became deserted. Mr. Akiyo held his head, as if he was still immersed in the aftertaste of that nightmare.The tick-tock on the wall is so clear and frightening in the huge space.

Blood... blood spread on the ground...

"Stop pestering me..." he seemed to be sobbing.

It's all his fault, if it wasn't for him, Rimi wouldn't be like this.He wants to protect Rimi, absolutely must protect her.Feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, he stood up and walked quickly to the bathroom, breathing heavily.

This bathroom with yellowed tiles has just been inspected by the police.He took a deep breath and walked towards the bathtub that took up one-third of the bathroom. It was a long-abandoned bathtub covered with moss, and there was nothing in it except some dirty water.He squatted down and pressed his hands against the edge of the bathtub. The edge was slippery, not to mention that his hands were still sweaty. He grabbed it several times before he grasped it firmly. Moved by him!Little by little, it moved to the side, revealing the narrow and deep space inside.

A dark-bodied person curled up underneath, with orange-brown hair, closed eyes and drooping eyelashes, making this small man less arrogant than usual and more delicate. His hands and feet They are all tightly bound by the iron ring at the bottom.

It is also in the Central Plains.
