At three o'clock in the middle of the night, there is no sound at this time, and everything is silent.
The stars are hidden, the moon is gray, and the night sky is a deep black.
Only the neon lights of Tokyo are still bright, rendering the night colorful.
clatter…
Da da…
From the corridor on the 20th floor of Minghu Apartment, there was the sound of crossing steps. The sound was especially loud on this silent night.
With the sound of footsteps, the corridor lit up with bright lights, reflecting the two people in tandem.
Walking ahead was Mr. Matsune in a black jacket.
Even if there was no one in front of him, he kept the same humble smile on his face, as if he wanted to greet people at any time.
In his hand, he also held a rice-washing pot.
The seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy who followed was naturally Shinji Kamhara who had been following him.
Watching Mr. Songnai open the door to return to his home, he also opened his own door and entered the room.
He has been following Mr. Matsune since yesterday afternoon.
Back home, Shinji Kamhara recorded the message he just got.
At this time, the paper in his hand had already recorded several pieces of information.
At more than six o'clock last night, he discovered an important piece of information.
That is Mr. Nakano, who lives upstairs with house number 2102, and was directly skipped by Mr. Matsune.
Yes, just skip it.
After borrowing the pot from Mr. 2101 Ishikawa's house, I returned it. The next one to borrow is Mr. Xiaoli from 2103.
Mr. Nakano of 2102 is not in the category of Mr. Matsunei's strong loan.
As for why, Shinji Kagawa has already speculated.
When Mr. Matsouchi went to Mr. Nakano's house with a gift, Mr. Nakano was rushing to draft. So there is no good face for the arrival of Mr. Songnai.
In addition, Mr. Matsune came to the door three times, and Mr. Nakano was about to go wild. In that case, Mr. Nakano hated Mr. Matsuo, how could he accept the gift.
so…
Mr. Nakano was lucky enough to escape? Avoid death
Although I guessed so in my heart, even Shinji Kanhara thought it was so, but still wrote the word 'suspected' on the paper.
As for the second message.
That is, every neighbor who accepts a gift is very familiar with Mr. Matsune.
This was guessed by Mr. Nakano's disgust expressed in Mr. Matsuchi's words during the conversation with Mr. Ishikawa when he opened the door to take takeout.
The other party did not receive the gift, so he remained in a normal state.
And those who received gifts would basically not refuse Mr. Songnai's request to borrow things.
but…
Shinji Kagawa recalled the day when Mr. Matsuochi moved in. When he came home, he heard some wives downstairs dissing each other.
But now, no one spoke ill of Mr. Matsune.
He speculated that it was possible that Mr. Sonnet became more familiar with his neighbors each time he borrowed something.
Of course, you are an exception.
His mind has always been very clear, and when Mr. Songnai came to borrow something, he sometimes didn't want to borrow it.
The reason why he borrowed was because he took into account the relationship between the neighbors, otherwise he would not have been able to lend to each other at all.
He guessed that it might be because of spiritual power to keep himself awake.
And even if he refuses, Mr. Matsune can still borrow it.
The most important thing is, no matter what time Mr. Songnai knocked on the door, or even just now, that is, after three o'clock in the middle of the night. Mr. Matsune went out as usual to borrow the rice-washing pot.
The person who opened the door was obviously sleepy.
But as soon as he saw Mr. Songnai, he greeted him with a smile, without the slightest impatience or anger between his brows.
The neighbors were very kind to Mr. Sonne. Friendly, somewhat abnormal and weird.
Following this journey, Mr. Songnai didn't know how many pots he had borrowed.
In other words, after receiving the gift, you are already in the other party's killing rules. Refuse the gift, and there is a high probability of death.
Shinji Kanbara put down the pen, he hesitated for a while, then got up and went out directly to the door of Mr. Matsunei.
He followed the other party into the room before, but as soon as he entered the door, a certain rule was obviously triggered and he was killed once.
And now, the reason why he came. Naturally, I want to test the conjecture in my heart.
Shinji Kagawa let out a breath, and without hesitation, he pressed the doorbell of Mr. Matsunei.
Almost as soon as the doorbell rang, Mr. Matsune's voice came from behind the door, "Who is it?"
"Song Nai-san, it's me."
Every time Mr. Sonay pressed the doorbell, he was asked who it was, and that was what Mr. Sonay answered.
Shinji Kagawa felt that this might be some kind of ritual.
The next moment, the door opened.
Seeing Shinji Kamhara, Mr. Matsune smiled humbly, "It's Kamhara-san, what's the matter?"
Shinji Kamhara pondered for a while, he stared at Mr. Matsune, hesitantly said, "I want to come into your house and see, can I?"
"sure."
Hearing this answer, Shinji Kanhara breathed a sigh of relief, he thought he could only borrow things.
When Shinji Kamhara stepped into Mr. Matsune's room, his body was tense, and his eyes were fixed on Mr. Matsune in front of him.
This time, Mr. Songnai didn't turn around suddenly to look at him, and he entered the room unharmed.
Seeing this, Shinji Kagawa completely relaxed.
After entering, Mr. Matsune did not turn on the lights. The whole house was pitch black, but Shinji Kamihara didn't need to turn on the lights now, and he could see the surroundings clearly.
He began to look around and found that Mr. Songnai rented a house with a similar layout to his home.
And when he came to the living room from the entrance, he glanced at it and his pupils shrank.
gift box.
Under the walls of the living room, there are a large number of gift boxes.
The style is exactly the same as the one that Mr. Songnai specially sent out before.
Shinji Kanbara came to the side of the gift box, counted it carefully, and found a total of one hundred and seventy-six gift boxes.
Frowning slightly, why one hundred and seventy-six? Not another number
At this time, he still didn't know what these boxes represented.
Thinking about it, he reached out his hand to pick up the gift box, to see what was inside.
But thinking of something, his hand paused.
As soon as he turned around, he saw that Mr. Songnai was less than one meter away from him, looking straight at him with a humble smile that had never changed.
Shinji Kagawa was taken aback.
The house had no lights on, it was pitch black.
Coupled with the constant staring at him of Mr. Matsune, it was terrifying.
Especially seeing Mr. Matsune's smile, I don't know why there is a chill in my heart.
However, he quickly adjusted.
He is not dead, then it means it is safe now.
"Mr. Matsune, I'm short of gift boxes for wrapping gifts at home, can you lend me one?"
"OK."
Mr. Sonne nodded in agreement, without any hesitation.
"Thank you." Saying that, Shinji Kagawa picked up a gift box. Realizing that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He guessed that if he just touched or took something without saying hello, he would most likely die.
Then he felt the gift box in his hand, it was very light. Apparently, nothing was in it.
Next, Shinji Kamhara kept looking around in the room. And Mr. Matsune, who has been following him, is like a supervisor.
Or... he was waiting for Shinji Kamihara to do something.
"Kannahara-san, I'm going to Mr. Gao Yan's house to return the pot."
After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Matsune, who was following Shinji Kanbara, suddenly spoke up.
Is this an eviction order
Do you want to stay here
Shinji Kagawa thought for a while, but finally did not stay.
If Mr. Songnai goes out and he stays, there is a high probability that he will die. And even if he stayed, he couldn't find anything.
He has just walked around the whole house, and everything is normal except for the strange gift box that has just arrived in the living room.
Thinking, Shinji Kamhara nodded, "Then I won't bother."
Soon he was out with Mr. Sonne.
Looking at Mr. Matsune who entered the elevator under the light of the light, this time he did not keep up.
Carrying the gift box back to his home, he placed the gift box on the coffee table in the living room, and Shinji Kamhara looked at it carefully.
The gift box in front of me is very ordinary in style.
He thought about it, opened the gift box in his hand, and saw that there was nothing inside.
After that, he watched with his soul, but even if he watched frame by frame, he could not observe anything.
Ordinary, nothing strange at all.
He took something from the drawer, packed it in a gift box, and nothing strange happened.
Shinji Kazuhara frowned.
Then he remembered something.
He came to the study and picked up a gift box of the same style from the corner, with a heavy feeling in his hand.
He hasn't taken it apart since Mr. Sonnet sent it.
Put this gift box on the coffee table, and compare the two boxes with the same color and size.
He carefully opened the gift box he took out from the study.
When it was completely taken apart, Shinji Kagawa sighed.
In front of him was a small bronze clock.
In an instant, Shinji Kanbara's eyes went black, and he fell directly on the sofa.
He is dead again.
