As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

At that time, he stared at the long black object in the policeman's hand in confusion. After a moment, he remembered that it was a pistol.

Fortunately, judging from the fact that its frequency of occurrence is becoming less and less, this sequelae should not be permanent.

However, once it appears, Yuanhui will feel like a thorn in his throat, causing certain troubles.

For example, now.

Yuanhui could only stare at his phone in a daze for a moment, not knowing what to do.

And at this moment——

"Hello." A voice that sounded a little cautious rang in his ears, "Excuse me, are you having any troubles?"

Yuanhui looked back and what came into his sight was an 'ordinary' beautiful girl.

The reason why the adjective "ordinary" is used here does not mean that the girl's appearance is not outstanding.

It can even be said to be the exact opposite.

Beautiful facial features, slender limbs, although such a metaphor may be a bit cliché, the girl in front of us is a beautiful woman who can be associated with a blooming spring flower.

But if you really want to find the characteristics of this girl, there are almost none.

The hairstyle is neither long straight black hair nor blonde twin ponytails, but medium-length hair that falls slightly to the shoulders.

The eye color is not the colorful one seen in anime, nor is there [★] or [?], it is just a dark color with a slight purple tint.

Her breasts weren't to the point of being 'regrettable', but they weren't 'praiseworthy' either.

In short, she is one of those pretty but featureless characters that you often see in anime, and you can tell at first glance that she is just a "supporting role".

We can call it the standard template of the term "beautiful girl JK" in people's minds.

Seeing the beautiful girl who spoke to him, Yuanhui's eyes moved slightly.

Thoughts like 'Handsome people are favored by the world' -

Nature did not enter his mind.

"Are you here to ask for a letter of apology?" Without responding to the girl's question, Yuanhui said this directly.

This attitude is not without reason.

From the girl's facial features, he found some outlines of Morikami Yoshiko.

In addition, when he left the interrogation room, he noticed that he seemed to be followed by someone quietly.

The person who followed him quietly was the girl in front of him who hoped to lend him a helping hand.

After taking all the above into consideration, we can conclude that the other party is a relative of Morikami Yoshiko, and considering her age, she should be Morikami Yoshiko's daughter.

The most likely reason why she wanted to please him was to obtain his letter of forgiveness.

From the sudden stiffness of the girl's face, it could be seen that Yuanhui was right.

It is certain that Yoshiko Morikami has been convicted, but the specific length of her sentence will actually be affected by many factors.

For example, social opinion and response.

For example, whether the victims or their relatives have expressed forgiveness towards Yoshiko Morikami.

As one of the victims, Yuanhui's letter of apology is naturally useful.

Thinking of this, Yuanhui couldn't help but look up to the girl in front of him.

My father cheated on me, and then my biological mother killed my biological father and brutally dismembered him...

Even a mature adult would not be able to withstand such a blow, let alone a girl who is in doubt about her adulthood.

As a result, she not only did not become autistic, but was actively looking for solutions to the problem.

Apart from anything else, this strength alone is enough for Yuanhui to look up to her.

“Eh, well, this…” The girl looked a little embarrassed and her answer was a little hesitant.

But after taking a deep breath, her expression miraculously calmed down.

"Yes, I want your letter of forgiveness."

She just admitted it.

"Of course, although I may sound like I'm trying to win your favor by saying this, I would still help you even if this hadn't happened."

"We are neighbors after all."

As she said this, she tried to force a sweet smile.

Sadly, this effort was not very successful.

The girl's smile was very beautiful, but also fragmented and a little fake.

Even if you are crying loudly in sadness in your heart, you can still smile in a way that will not be exposed... This skill is only mastered by adults who have been beaten countless times by society.

She's clearly not skilled enough.

Yuanhui glanced at her smile that was like broken glass.

In fact, after this period of time, he has actually gotten rid of that somewhat annoying state.

Even without the girl's help, he could use the navigation on his phone to find the clothing store he wanted.

but……

He was still too unfamiliar with the city, and he wasn't sure whether the map software on his phone was reliable.

Moreover, Yuanhui knew nothing about the clothing brands in this country.

St. Eden Academy seemed to be an aristocratic school. According to Yuan Hui's certain stereotypes about such schools, if one wore a crudely made scarf on the first day of school, it would most likely cause some unnecessary trouble.

He is not too afraid of discrimination and bullying, but it would be better if trouble could be avoided in the first place.

That’s right, this was not done out of soft-heartedness or lust, but was indeed a decision that was more convenient and more beneficial to oneself.

Putting the phone back into his pocket, Yuanhui asked the girl:

"Do you know of any upscale clothing stores nearby?"

The girl's face suddenly lit up, and then, as if she was afraid that Yuanhui would regret it, she nodded hurriedly -

"Of course I know! Please follow me!"

4. Yuanhui, search for information

"By the way, Yuanjun, what are you going to buy at the clothing store?" The girl walking in front chatted with Yuanhui enthusiastically.

Although Yuanhui gave her a chance to help him, she obviously did not expect to get the letter of understanding just by giving directions.

Yuanhui's attitude was just a signal, telling her that the matter was not without hope.

She was actually very satisfied with this. After all, her mother almost killed him...

"I want to buy a scarf." Yuan Hui did not hide anything, but directly raised his neck and showed the long and narrow [XXX]-shaped scar to the girl.

To "other beings", this scar is just an ordinary scar and there is no need to hide it.

This message was left for him by 'He'.

Since 'He' had no need to deceive himself, Yuanhui naturally tended to believe this information.

The girl's eyes widened, her small mouth opened in surprise, and her steps paused for a moment.

"This is my mother..." She said in a tone of sympathy and guilt, but before she could finish, Yuanhui interrupted her -

"no."

The words that were about to well up in her throat were forcibly suppressed by the word "no", and the emotions that had just begun to brew were suddenly stuck in mid-air... If she was an ordinary person, her expression at this moment could only be described as silly.

But she is a beautiful girl, so this slightly funny expression can naturally be called cute.

"Your mother didn't hurt me."

This was not a word of comfort, because Morikami Miko had indeed not caused any actual harm to him now. The scars on Yuanhui's hands, strictly speaking, should be considered as his "own fault" -

Of course, there is a plan to escape from Morikami Miko's clutches without getting hurt.

The reason why Yuan Hui made such an unwise move of catching the knife with his hands was actually that he wanted to use the pain to see if he was dreaming and whether those "information" were hallucinations in his head.

The result is naturally negative.

"Isn't this obviously an old injury? Moreover, if I was really stabbed on the neck by your mother, how could I still be leisurely giving a statement at the police station?" Yuanhui sighed and expressed some sympathy for the girl's intelligence.

The girl felt her face getting a little hot and was speechless for a moment.

She was emotional just now, and because of what happened today, her thoughts were actually a little confused, so such a big mistake happened.

However, Yuanhui's words did not end.

The young man following behind her spoke in an extremely calm tone, not at all like someone who had just escaped from the hands of a female murderer.

"Although it may not be appropriate for me to say this, your attitude towards me is not right."

This made the girl panic. Could it be that her sympathetic attitude just now had offended the other party, or was it...

Just as she lowered her head, preparing to face the boy's scolding, Yuanhui's answer once again surprised her.

"You are being too humble."

"Huh?" The girl even suspected for a moment that she was hallucinating.

Did she hear 'arrogance' as 'humility'?

"I think you feel that your mother did something really bad to me, so you feel really sorry for me?"

The girl couldn't help but nodded.

"It's human nature to feel guilty about it, but it's not necessary to feel humble about it."

The two of them are now gradually approaching the commercial district.

The huge display screen playing business information programs, the waiters busy shuttling back and forth in the izakaya, the faded bubble bath posters on the roadside, the motorcycles flying out of the parking lot; the lives of these strangers, like dancing glass fragments, kept passing by their eyes.

However, none of these noises could cover up the boy's calm and indifferent voice, which still flowed into the girl's ears like gurgling springs.

"Today's tragedy happened. Actually, both your parents are at fault."

"Your father shouldn't have betrayed the family by pursuing carnal pleasures."

"Your mother shouldn't be controlled by anger and take the lives of others, even involving innocent people."

"Although it may not be commensurate with the mistakes they made, they have all been or will be punished, but——"

"They are them and you are you."

“Do not take their sins upon yourself.”

If you were to ask who the biggest victim of this murder and dismemberment case is, the answer would undoubtedly be the ordinary beautiful girl in front of Yuanhui.

In just one short day, her originally happy, well, maybe not so happy family was torn apart, her father was killed, her mother was thrown into prison...

However, Yuanhui was sure that this day was definitely not her worst day.

Children who have lost both parents are already a vulnerable group, let alone when one of their parents is a murderer?

Once this case is exposed, all the sufferings in the world will truly come upon her like a storm.

"If you keep this mentality, when you meet her family, the result will probably not be very good."

The 'she' that Yuanhui mentioned was naturally the lover who was chopped into pieces by Morikami Miko.

Yuanhui wasn't sure whether she had her own husband and children, but even if she didn't, she must have parents.

Although to outsiders, Yuan Hui's life was hanging by a thread this afternoon.

But family members know their own business. To him, compared with the many evil people he met in his previous life, Morikami Miko could even be described as "well-behaved and cute".

Precisely because of this, Genki does not actually have any hatred towards Morikami Yoshiko and is able to face his daughter in an extremely rational way.

But that lover's parents would definitely not be as calm as Yuanhui.

They would think that the girl's father seduced their daughter, and the girl's mother was the murderer who killed their daughter.

If the girl still holds this mentality at that time, the probability of something very bad happening is actually very high.

For example, using the girl's guilt to set a trap and completely ruin her future life...
