Chapter 44 I like to see you caught in a difficult decision
"You remember this kind of thing quite clearly."
Gu Xing complained.
[Me, I have a bit of a bad personality, but I always keep my word and do what I say, so I value this more]
"You don't need to say it," Gu Xing said bravely: "A true man, once you make a move, it's hard to follow him."
[Hey, but I still want to remind you]
"explain."
[That old man is actually not a Yehe believer. Look at him, he doesn’t even have a cross on his body]
"I know."
Gu Xing looked at the note, "I thought you had something serious to say, is this it?"
[Wow, I’m going to be impressed by you. When did you know that? 】
"I was in the house just now. I looked at the old man and I guessed it when he avoided my eyes. Later, he walked out of the house with blood all over his forehead. I think he also felt a little sorry for me.
"
[You have already guessed that he is not a Jehovah? Then you still agree to the request of that kind of liar...]
"Um……"
Gu Xing looked back at room D-003, as if he could still see the rickety figure of the old man standing at the door.
"He made me feel very comfortable. In fact, I have always had great respect for those who are willing to sacrifice themselves to save others, whether it is for one person or for more people. In reality, how many people can do this.
Moreover, agreeing to the old man's request itself made me feel very comfortable and transparent. After agreeing, I felt much more relaxed than when I was worried before. I felt like I could put down my burdens and travel light."
[Wow, he turned out to be a saint-type personality, but he has become a weird describer. I feel like I have found a treasure]
"You think too much, I can't do it myself."
…
Gu Xing found Shengzi and asked, "Do you know who the residents of D-004 are?"
Because Tomoko is organizing people to collect the detailed information of every user in the basement, the information of the residents in the first few rooms has been temporarily handed over to Shengzi for safekeeping. If the Criminal Division needs it, they can check it with Shengzi at any time.
"Well, let me take a look,"
The Holy Son holds a piece of information in his hand,
"I called him just now, but now I have forgotten his name. I really...oh, he is a middle-aged man in his 40s, named Yoshiro Matsumoto. He just moved to this room a few days ago. He used to live in
D-020, moved to D-004 for some unknown reason..."
"It turned out to be him..."
Seeing the name Yoshiro Matsumoto, Gu Xing couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"Do you also know Yoshiro Matsumoto?" the Holy Son asked.
"Yes, we have dealt with him before."
"I just heard them discussing this person,"
Seiko said: "It is said that Yoshiro Matsumoto changed rooms because a woman insisted on living in D-020, where she and her late boyfriend once lived.
But who would have thought that something like this would happen... Your colleagues in the Criminal Division were discussing privately whether Matsumoto Yoshiro would change rooms with the lady in D-020, but Matsumoto Yoshiro heard it——"
"Oh? What did he say?" Gu Xing was very interested, "Did he change rooms?"
"Absolutely not,"
The Holy Son looked impressed,
"Yoshiro Matsumoto looked very angry at the time. He said, 'What does a grown man have to argue with a woman? The lady's beloved boyfriend just passed away. Life is miserable enough, so why add insult to injury.
Besides, Fujino’s weirdness has no intention of stopping. The tenants living in the basement will face tragedy sooner or later. If they leave late or early, they will leave. It would be better to leave in a stylish way.’
Your fellow policemen in the Criminal Division who catch criminals all day long were very impressed after hearing what he said."
"He is an open-minded person,"
Gu Xing looked around, "Where is the Matsumoto Yoshiro man? Where has he gone?"
"Why are you looking for him? I saw him go back to his house and wait for Fujino to come again."
"D-004?"
"Yes, but you haven't said what you want from Jilong."
"It's okay, just ask."
As Gu Xing said this, he left by himself. When he was in a deserted place, he took out the note:
"Dongsang, what will happen if I am forced to commit suicide by Fujino?"
Gu Xing's idea was that the old man might not be able to trigger Grandma Li Mei's rules, but Gu Xing was the creator of Grandma Li Mei's weirdness, so there should be some exceptions.
[This question is very interesting. Let me think about it... Satomi's grandma is as weird as you described. She probably won't just watch you being forced to commit suicide according to her rules, right? You can try it, I
Am looking forward to】
"In other words, I now have at least two ways to try to deal with Fujino?
The first one is to try to write Grandma Satomi's name on the contract so that Grandma will fall into Fujino's rules.
Second, if the first method fails, you can also try to commit suicide and let Fujino fall into grandma's rules, right?"
[That’s the theory. However, if grandma doesn’t show up, you will be embarrassed. Are you willing to take this risk for a stranger who has nothing to do with you?]
"Didn't you want me to keep my word and fulfill my promise?"
[However, I prefer to see you struggling with difficult decisions. Let me remind you in advance, if you just sign, there is a high probability that grandma will not show up]
Unfortunately, Gu Xing fell in love with Xiaodong.
Although what he said to Xiaodong before was righteous, at this moment, two thoughts were fighting fiercely in Gu Xing's mind.
Morally speaking, Gu Xing naturally should fulfill his promise to the old man without hesitation. To be honest, at that time, he was so touched by the old man's courage to sacrifice that he was dizzy and agreed too happily. He never expected that the old man would commit suicide.
Can trigger grandma's rules.
If you want to make a rational choice, there is no doubt that Gu Xing should remain silent and let Matsumoto Yoshiro take the lead. Gu Xing's room is in D-019, and he still has a lot of time to think about countermeasures. However,
"Dongsang, in the entire basement, besides me, is there any other person who could possibly survive Fujino's hands?"
[That’s not the case. Sequoia might have a little chance. As for Sequoia, I don’t think that guy can take the initiative to step forward. Gu Xingjun, I can’t say whoever is more capable will rush to the front, right? 】
"Yoshiro Matsumoto switched from D-020 to D-004 because of my persuasion, and he hasn't received a penny of compensation yet."
Gu Xing was silent for a moment, "Speak with conscience, can I witness Matsumoto Yoshiro being stuffed into the wood crusher by Fujino?"
[Whose debt will be repaid, you can go and persuade Chiyo and ask her to take the initiative to exchange for D-004]
"You are really capable," Gu Xing said: "Even a stranger like Matsumoto Yoshiro knows not to let a girl who has just lost her beloved stand in front of me. What's more, I made a promise to Ryuichi."
With that said, Gu Xing put the note into his pocket and knocked on D-004's door.
I knocked for a long time, but no one opened the door.
Gu Xing thought for a moment, opened the door and walked in.
I saw Yoshiro Matsumoto sitting on his bed, with his back to the door and facing the wall, looking like he was thinking about his past.
Seemingly hearing the sound of the door opening, Matsumoto Yoshiro turned around and saw that the person coming was Gu Xing. He climbed out of bed and smiled, "So it's you."
Facing the culprit who had just persuaded him to room D-004 not long ago, Matsumoto Yoshiro seemed particularly generous, "You guys, are you here to apologize to me? Haha, no need to."
"I'm really sorry," Gu Xing said, "However, I'm here to inform you that Mr. Hong Shirt has other arrangements. He wants to move your room order to the back. Please wait for notification of which room it will be moved to."
Yoshiro Matsumoto had an incredulous look on his face: "Why."
Gu Xing scratched his head, "I can't explain the specific reason. It seems that Mr. Sequoia has thought of a new way to deal with Fujino, which doesn't require the residents to die at all, so..."
After hearing the news, Yoshiro Matsumoto's legs suddenly weakened and he knelt on the ground, covering his face with his hands. He sobbed softly at first, and then burst into tears.
