It rained all night last night. Although it has stopped this morning, the dark clouds in the sky are still dense, as if they are accumulating rain, waiting for the moment to pour down.
There are very few pedestrians on the road, and even if there are, they are all in a hurry, fearing that the heavy rain that may come at any time will fall on their heads.
A feminine sky-blue car cut from the main road into the lane and drove towards the Beishen family's mansion.
The car quickly stopped at the gate. Haruko Hokami got out of the car, opened the gate and drove into the courtyard.
The door opened, and Haruko Hokami walked towards the stairs on the left. But after walking two steps, she realized something was wrong, but she turned around and walked quickly towards the sofa on the right.
Then she saw it.
There was a suitcase stacked on the edge of the coffee table, and there were also open beer cans and half-drunk wine glasses on the coffee table.
This is undoubtedly proof that someone has been in the house, and the person seems to have just returned from a trip outside.
Looking at the several things in front of her, Haruko Hokami instantly dropped the bag in her hand and ran towards the study upstairs.
When she came to the study room with the door open, the lights in the room and the documents on the desk seemed to indicate that someone had been there.
She walked forward hesitantly, as carefully as if she was looking at some rare treasure.
Then she saw the open computer showing plant information, and the notebook was open. It was obvious that her father had been checking the information before.
Hokami Haruko looked around, trying to search for something, but there was nothing in the room.
Her pupils dilated slightly and her breathing became a lot heavier unconsciously.
She began to search all over the house for the figure that haunted her.
But no matter whether it was the study or father's room, they couldn't find each other.
But suddenly, she seemed to hear footsteps coming from under her feet.
Hearing the noise, Haruko Hokami ran towards the balcony of the bedroom like crazy.
Then she saw her father, wearing a white suit and top hat, walking towards the house.
He seemed to notice that his daughter was looking at him upstairs, so he raised his head slightly, smiled at her, and then walked into the house.
But at this moment, Haruko Beishen stood stunned on the spot like a bolt from the blue.
The face of the man below showed up, and it was the father she had been dreaming about day and night!
"Dad! Daddy!!"
Haruko Hokami ran downstairs from the balcony as if she was crazy, but when she came to the sofa on the first floor again, the white figure before seemed to have completely disappeared, and she could not be found.
She rushed out the door and looked around, but she still didn't see anyone, as if everything before was just her illusion.
"How can it be..."
Hokami Haruko murmured to herself, turned around and went back to the house, looked at the opened beer can, picked it up and took a big sip!
The slightly bitter beer brought the most real feeling from the tip of her tongue. Haruko Hokami thought about the scene she saw on the balcony, and felt more and more that it was not an illusion.
That is his father!
No...it's obvious...
Haruko Beigami felt that she was crazy to think that her father would appear here.
She put the can down, took a deep breath and walked towards the bathroom.
The cold water refreshed people's spirits, and they seemed to wake up a lot.
But when she walked out of the bathroom, she found her father standing next to the sofa and walking toward the door.
She ran frantically towards the door, but after looking around, there was still no figure.
"Ha ha..."
Haruko Beigami gasped and stroked her forehead with both hands. She seemed to hear the phone call coming from inside the house. She shook her head and walked towards the house with some shaking.
When she answered the phone hesitantly, her expression changed drastically.
The next moment, she hurriedly walked to the sofa, picked up her bag that was thrown on the sofa, and walked towards the car.
The car sped off towards an unknown destination, but did not notice a black car following far behind it.
Northern God Haruko galloped all the way, and soon came to the door of a bungalow with overgrown grass in the courtyard. The name hanging on the name of this villa was also "Northern God".
She opened the door and walked into the house. She could see white cloth covering the furniture everywhere. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.
But she had no intention of missing it at all, she just hurriedly turned to the left after opening the door.
She took out a bunch of keys from the cabinet. After identifying it, she took one of the keys and walked towards the basement of the house as if carrying all her expectations and fears.
The two steps were obviously so short, and her steps were obviously not slow, but for some reason they felt unusually long to her.
But the key still opened the lock on the door.
And when everything in the room was displayed in front of Haruko Beigami, she just stood blankly at the door.
The lights were turned on, and there seemed to be a figure lying on the couch in the basement.
"dad!!"
Hokami Haruko's hesitant steps moved forward little by little. How could there be a living person in this wine cellar with only ten degrees of temperature?
The person lying on the chair had already turned into a corpse.
Using a corpse to express it may not be so accurate, because after years of corrosion, this corpse has long lost its complete appearance, and the flesh and blood has dried into a thin layer of black covering the already revealed bones.
Only a layer of shabby coat was left hanging outside.
This scene is even more horrifying than simple bones. Just one look at it can make your stomach churn and cause physical discomfort.
But faced with such a terrifying situation, Haruko Hokami showed no fear at all. Instead, tears flowed from her eyes uncontrollably.
"Dad...I'm sorry..."
Haruko Beishen murmured, but the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door the next moment made her expression change drastically.
When she looked out the door, she saw Karasawa and Naoki Kamei standing outside.
"As expected, this is why you said that your father "cannot kill anyone at all"."
Tang Ze looked at the black skeleton in front of him and sighed: "After all, how can a person who has died kill someone?"
There were two lines of tears hanging on Beigami Haruko's face, but she did not wipe them away but stared at the man in front of her.
Although his face was expressionless, his eyes were as vicious as those of an evil spirit, making people shudder.
"Haha..." Haruko Beishen showed a terrifying smile on her face: "It turns out that all this was arranged by Mr. Criminal."
"Eh? Senior, what have you done?" Uekai Naoki also looked curious when he heard this.
Today, he just followed Karasawa's arrangement and sat in the car near the Beishen family's residence to keep an eye on him, waiting for him to get in the car before taking the next step.
Then he saw Haruko Hokami driving home first, and then within a moment he saw her hurriedly running out and driving out again.
Just when he was hesitating whether to follow or follow Karasawa Criminal's command, he saw Karasawa Criminal also running out of the Beishen family's mansion.
Then the two of them drove all the way and followed each other to this old house.
Seeing everything in front of him, he naturally understood that this was what Tang Ze Criminal did, but unfortunately he was just a tool before and knew nothing.
But it seems that Haruko Hokami was probably tricked by senior Karasawa, and that's why she said such a thing.
"Sorry, if you want to break the situation, I have to find your father." Karasawa did not answer Naoki Uye's words, but instead smiled apologetically at Haruko Hokami.
"I didn't expect criminals to enter other people's houses when the owner is not at home." Haruko Hokami said with a sarcastic tone.
"Just as you desperately try to hide evidence, our responsibility is to desperately pursue the truth."
Karasawa looked at Haruko Beigami with a serious expression and said: "This time I really broke into a private house. Even if you want to sue me, you have nothing to say.
However, I, this junior, did not participate. I just stayed outside your house according to my arrangement, so there is no need to involve him."
"senior..."
Uye Naoki was shocked after hearing what the two said. This time he understood why when he asked Karasawa Criminal what his plans were last night, the other party didn't tell him.
It turned out that the other party deliberately concealed his plan in order not to implicate him. Even today's arrangements were made so that he would not be affected.
"Okay, it's just that you can't be of much help, so there's no need to drag you down."
Seeing the moved look on Naoki Kamei's face, Karasawa patted his shoulder and told him not to pay too much attention.
"Sue you? Is everything still useful now..."
Beishen Haruko sneered, then looked at Tang Ze and said: "You did all this, right? How did you do it?
It actually looks exactly like my father’s face.”
"I just used some small tricks."
Tang Ze explained: "I asked a friend to make your father's disguise mask, and then used your father's clothes to disguise himself."
"It's just a legendary criminal. He is really powerful. He can even use such methods that are only found in novels."
When Haruko Beishen heard this, she was not only sarcastic but also sighed. She looked at Tangze and said quietly: "What a great skill.
If that's the case, then you changed your voice to imitate my father's voice on the phone, right?"
"what phone?"
Even Tang Ze, who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart when he suddenly heard the other party say such words.
He only felt that the hairs on his hair stood up due to a cold wave that came from nowhere, but he still looked at Haruko Kitakami with a serious look on his face and said, "I didn't call you."
"How did you do it? The voice on the phone is exactly the same as dad's voice."
Haruko Beishen had a weird smile on her face: "He said he asked me to go find him."
"this..."
Naoki Uyei couldn't help but feel his scalp numb after hearing what the two said. Looking at the gloomy environment around him, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "It can't be a ghost..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't think nonsense."
Tangze chuckled lightly, then looked at Haruko Beishen with a serious expression and said: "I have no reason to hide it from you. After all, I have already admitted that I pretended to be your father, so there is no need to lie to you about these details.
And even if I can imitate it, I still need your father’s original voice.
But your father has passed away a long time ago, and even I can't get your father's voice.
Besides, being able to let you see it has a greater impact than letting you hear it, right?"
"No, I did hear it..." Haruko Beishen said softly: "That was the call from dad. He asked me to come to him..."
"Maybe it's your imagination..."
Karasawa looked at Haruko Beishen and said, "My appearance pretending to be your father may have stimulated you a little too much."
After all, the other party can be said to have become a demon because of her father. If her dead father suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, it would not be impossible for her to be stimulated and have auditory hallucinations for a while.
"No...that's dad."
Northern Haruko smiled slightly, held her father's hand, and leaned on her father's shoulder.
It's just that such a scene, with the blackened skeleton and the beautiful girl, makes it feel creepy no matter how you look at it.
But Haruko Beishen's face was full of tranquility and peace, and the twisted emotions and vicious calculations had all dissipated.
It was as if she was the real herself at this moment, the quiet girl who loved her father.
However, this short-term peace was broken when the subsequent large forces arrived.
Forensic personnel were busy taking photos and evidence in the wine cellar and collecting information on the skeletons, while Karasawa and the two of them sat quietly on the sofa upstairs with Haruko Hogami.
She looked at the busy crowd with a numb expression on her face, as if nothing could shake her anymore.
"If you don't mind, can you tell me how everything happened?" Karasawa looked at Haruko Beigami and asked.
After hearing Karasawa's words, Beigami Haruko's pupils focused a little. She raised her head and looked at Karasawa, then looked at the wall beside her, but Karasawa knew that she wasn't looking at anything at all.
There is no greater sadness than heartbreak. I am afraid that this is the state she is in at the moment.
Tangze opened his mouth because he wanted her to tell her, so that she would feel better, but judging from the other party's reaction, this method might not work.
The silence continued. Just when Karasawa judged that the other party had no intention of speaking, Haruko Beigami slowly spoke.
"After my mother died, only me and my father were left. I can no longer suppress my love for my father..."
As Haruko Beigami slowly described, her twisted emotions gradually unfolded in the eyes of the two of them.
The death of his mother was a huge blow to Keisuke Kitagami.
She is her mother's daughter, so she is naturally very similar to her mother.
After the death of his mother, the emotions that he had suppressed in his heart surged like a tide and could no longer be stopped.
She wants to be close to her father.
So, she expressed her love and hoped that she could become a substitute for her mother.
But how can normal people accept such feelings?
Kitagami Keisuke was furious, and the harmony between father and daughter was no longer there. The twisted feelings became a thorn between the two, leaving them not knowing how to face each other.
No, or it could be said to be one-sided. Northern Haruko's love is still hot, but as a father, he will naturally not allow her to get close.
Since then, Kitagami Keisuke has been avoiding him.
This situation naturally made Haruko Beigami feel very uncomfortable, as if her chest was about to burst.
What led to all subsequent tragedies was the decision made by my father.
