Creating Urban Legends In Japan

Chapter 79: One hundred and seventy-eight

Views:

Although there are two kinds of guesses, Shinji Kagawa guessed that the second possibility is most likely.

At this moment, his mind was clear.

The bell has an excellent meaning in Japan. In addition, it is also related to time, and it is a metaphor for punctuality.

Every time Mr. Matsune borrowed something, he would return it.

When he observed at the other party's house yesterday, the other party borrowed the pot at that time.

After a certain time, the other party directly told him to go to Mr. Gao Yan's house to return the pot.

Now that I think about it, every time I borrow something, Mr. Matsune will return it at a certain time. This means being punctual, and borrowing and repaying.

After borrowing it yesterday, he didn't return the gift box to Mr. Matsune within the stipulated time, so he died.

To confirm this guess, it is very simple, just borrow it again.

but…

Shinji Kamhara looked at the small clock placed on the coffee table. He thought it was the small clock that killed him.

It doesn't seem to be the case now, but he still has to try it out.

Thinking about it, he reached out and picked up the small copper clock on the coffee table.

fine.

Thoughts arose, he held the small clock and shook it.

Deng Deng Deng! —

The sound is crisp and clear, not as heavy and dull as the temple bell.

Shinji Kagawa put down the bell, but he did not die. Obviously, the conjecture he just made was most likely correct.

Thinking about it, he went straight out. Once again came to the door of Mr. Songnai's house.

ding dong—

"Who?"

"Mr. Matsune, it's me."

Shinji Kagawa spoke calmly, and the monitor seemed to be non-existent in the face of the strange enemy and cautiousness.

The door opened.

"So it's Kamihara-san, what's the matter?"

Mr. Matsune smiled as always, with a cautious and humble feeling.

"Mr. Matsune, I want to come and see your house, can I?"

"sure."

In the exact same conversation as in the middle of the night, Shinji Kanbara followed Mr. Matsune into the room.

It was afternoon and the sun was just starting to set. So it's not as dark as it is in the middle of the night.

It was noticeable when he entered the house. Mr. Songnai walked in front of him and slowly followed behind him.

Obviously, this is waiting for him to do something.

However, Shinji Kagawa, who has died twice, is no longer ignorant, and naturally he will not act rashly.

He came under the white wall, and in front of him was a pile of gift boxes.

He counted silently.

At the end, his face gradually became solemn.

Unlike yesterday's number, today's box is one hundred and seventy-eight.

Added two.

In an instant, Shinji Kanbara thought of something.

Today, a young couple moved into their first apartment.

This is what he just learned from a conversation with the manager, Kintagi, in the property room.

My guess is true. The gift box represents the number of people living in the apartment.

Can…

How could it be one hundred and seventy-eight.

According to Kintagi, before the couple moved in, the number of people living in the first apartment was 171.

Now that he has counted the number of boxes, he has added two without reducing the family who moved out.

Apparently...

Even if you move and leave, you can't escape the fate of death.

Gift boxes will only increase, not decrease.

But according to this, the gift box should also be one hundred and seventy-three, not one hundred and seventy-eight.

Besides, there was another doubt in his mind.

The number of people mentioned by the property manager must include Mr. Nakano on the 21st floor.

But according to his guess, the other party didn't accept the gift, didn't he avoid death

Is it not

And what do the five extra gift boxes mean

Pregnant? Frog Party

Shinji Kagawa didn't think for too long, he didn't forget the business.

He turned his head, looked at Mr. Songnai who was staring at him, and smiled slightly, "Mr. Songnai, my house lacks a gift box for wrapping gifts, can you lend me one?"

"OK."

Shinji Kamhara picked up a gift box and said goodbye to Mr. Matsune.

When you get home, put the gift box on the coffee table.

Then, he picked up Kondaki's business card and called directly.

"็ Hello Who are you?"

"I'm Kamhara, we just met in the property room."

"It turned out to be the Kamhara Police Department." Kyodagi's voice became more cautious, and he said cautiously, "Is there any question for the Kamhara Police Department?"

Kintaki didn't ask what Shinji Kanhara was investigating, he knew that curiosity could sometimes kill people.

"I have a question." Shinji Kagawa paused, "Is there a pregnant woman in the first apartment."

Even though he asked, he didn't offer any hope.

After all, the property management is not everything, especially the high-end apartment area of Minghu Apartment, which is mainly based on service.

"Kannahara Police Department, I'll check it out for you." Kintaki said with a smile as he walked. "Three days ago, people from the town council came to condolences to the pregnant woman in the Minghu apartment, and I'll lead the way."

Town meeting

Shinji Kagawa was stunned.

The so-called town meeting is actually the neighborhood committee. However, the Town Council has little to do with the government.

The chairman of the town council is re-elected every two years, and the cadres of the town council are rotated by the residents, and all are voluntary labor. Residents can voluntarily choose to join.

However, most residents will choose to join.

Because Japanese people like groups and are afraid of being single, there are many activities organized in the town, and you are not a member to participate in.

Like cherry blossom viewing activities in Japan, most townships will organize them.

After the two chatted for a few minutes, Kintagi told him the news.

In addition to the other three apartments, only one person was pregnant in the first one, where he now lives.

Mrs. Hitani on the 16th floor.

"I see, thank you."

"You're too kind." Although Shinji Kanbara looked much younger and was still a student, Kintaki didn't dare to neglect.

High school students are the police department of the Metropolitan Police Department.

After hanging up the phone, Shinji Kagawa was lost in thought.

Only one person is pregnant. Could it be that Mrs. Higu is pregnant with five babies

Although it is not impossible, the probability is too small, right

If he is a normal monitor, he doesn't need to think about the gift box at all. Just investigate an outline and find a way to avoid death.

However, the reason why Shinji Kamhara made such a detailed investigation was to understand the rules of Mr. Matsunei.

After the other party is contained in this way, all the legend points and good and evil points can be obtained.

Looking at the time, seven or eight minutes have passed.

I'm not dead yet... It seems that there is still no time to return it.

In order to determine the exact time, Shinji Kagawa did not plan to return it this time.

Time passed second by second, and soon, when the time came to ten minutes.

Tick tock!

A second moved slightly, and another second passed, before Shinji Kagawa's eyes darkened, and he fell directly on the sofa.

After a minute, he stood up.

Picking up the notebook, he silently wrote this rule on it.

If there is a loan, it must be returned, and the time limit for returning things is…

ten minutes.

Of course, in order to verify, he went to borrow it again. This time, after five minutes, he returned the thing.

Ten minutes passed, and Shinji Kamihara was not dead.

ding dong—

While thinking, the doorbell rang.

Mr. Sonne is here? Shinji Kaguhara raised this thought and was a little surprised.

I just borrowed it yesterday, and it's here again today? Don't need a cooldown

You must know that Mr. Songnai borrowed things once every few days.

However, Shinji Kamhara soon realized that it was obvious that Mr. Matsouchi borrowed things more and more frequently.

When he came to the entrance of the entrance, he opened the door directly.

"Kanhara-san, I'm sorry. The shower equipment at home is broken. Can I borrow your bathroom to take a bath?"
