murder begins in summer

The appointed Turkish restaurant was on a deck, facing the sun at this moment, and there were a dozen snow-white round tables scattered here and there, most of which were empty, except for the one in the center. .

Risako Eguchi was sitting there, wearing a pure black turtleneck sweater dress and a beige wide-shouldered coat, her long and dense waves curled into a high ponytail, which swayed slightly as she stood up. .

"It's really you, cousin." Risako said.

Shao San pushed Shi Zhanyang to the table, put an old-fashioned glass hourglass on the table, nodded at Shi Zhanyang, turned and left.As soon as he went out, the iron door at the entrance was closed, and the cook and waiter were also absent, so there were only two people left on the deck.

"Miss Eguchi, long time no see." Shi Zhanyang also spoke Japanese, got up and shook hands with Risako. After shaking hands, the two sat back on both sides of the small round table.Between the table full of wine and dishes, Risako looked at the hourglass with a shallow layer of black sand on the bottom from the corner of her eye - this was the object of their Eguchi group, and this was also the rule of their Eguchi group when talking about things. Applicable to one-on-one "gentleman's talk", whenever the sand in the upper glass ball is drained, the matter at hand must also be determined to a result-otherwise the two parties can only fight to the death on the same day.

Such old habits with too much meaning can sometimes effectively avoid procrastination, and sometimes they are so extreme that they seem unnecessary.Eguchi Risako had no such plan at first, and making the atmosphere so tense would not do her any good, but Shi Zhanyang never thought that Shi Zhanyang would do it for her.

Roughly estimated, this hourglass can run for half an hour at most——Shi Zhanyang did such a wonderful job once he made it.

"Is my cousin going to kill me directly?" Risako smiled, forked a piece of cantaloupe, and took a small bite of a corner.

"Are you going to kill me?" Shi Zhanyang also laughed.

"I can't do it. My cousin killed all the people I brought. This is a... family gathering between us. I came alone."

"Me too." Shi Zhanyang lowered his eyelashes, and carefully cut off the cap of the cigar. This cut, he cut it perfectly, and then he slowly lit it, and took the first puff slowly.

A thick layer had accumulated at the bottom of the hourglass, and Risako couldn't keep him so leisurely, "This lighter..." She looked at the shiny mane of the lion on the metal surface, "You have been using it since many years ago. use."

"Yeah." Shi Zhanyang put the lighter back into his inner pocket.

"Is it from Brother Nana?"

"I heard that you have been looking for him," Shi Zhanyang asked back, "In this year alone, counting the anonymous ones, the Eguchi group sent him 42 emails, [-] phone calls, and hundreds of messages, right? "

Risako stabilized her wrist and took a sip of Xiashan green tea, "Ah... so my cousin knows everything, no wonder my little brother never received it once. I've been thinking how much he hates me as an older sister. You won’t even give me an answer?”

Shi Zhanyang narrowed his eyes, "You said you were his sister."

Risako nodded, "He's from our Eguchi team."

"He does hate you, he hates the whole 'Your Eguchi Group'."

Risako's eye circles turned red in an instant, she covered her mouth and lowered her head, she was quite efficient, and thin tears hung on her cheeks.

Shi Zhanyang looked worried, "Why are you crying?"

"My elder brother has passed away, my husband is in prison, and both of his hands are crippled. Our Eguchi group is... indeed nothing." Risako raised her face and smiled, "Cousin, of course I want to come cry for you."

Shi Zhanyang said softly: "Didn't you kill the Jiangkou sparrow yourself? Back then you borrowed someone from my father."

Risako didn't seem to hear this sentence, no matter what happened, no matter how embarrassing or untenable, she could always pour out what she wanted to say, she always regarded this as one of her advantages, "I only have this younger brother," she said firmly, as if she was upright, "Hongsheng is my younger brother."

"Really? As your family member, Eguchi Hongsheng is dead."

Risako didn't react for a while.Her gaze came across the hourglass again, and at least [-]% of it had run out.

Shi Zhanyang went on to say: "He died in the early morning of the third day after he was born, in the hands of Lingtang, together with his mother who robbed Lingtang's husband. The reason why he didn't choose to kill while pregnant was because Lingtang thought that would not be enough to relieve hatred How could a dead body and two lives be resolved sequentially, Lingtang seems to have peeled his mother's skin in front of him and nailed it to the roof of a kennel." After a pause, he stared at Risako smoking vigorously, and said again , "Fortunately, people generally don't remember what they saw when they were babies."

In front of his artificial calmness, Risako appeared to be in a state of disarray.Those words just now are correct, she does remember the huge dirty kennel in her childhood, where several drug-sniffing dogs brought by her father were raised.

What impressed me the most was that my mother often fed those big dogs some red meat from unknown sources, with a nervous smile on her face. Another time, because of a mistake, she and her brother were whipped and bruised, and they were stuffed together. Closed inside, no one came to ask a question even after crying, only the Eguchi sparrow desperately strangled a black back that was trying to attack her, brushed off the sticky dirt from her hair, and secretly told her that the top of the kennel The stinky flocs that were scratched on the bed were all human skin.

At this moment, even if she just thought about it for a while, the chill suddenly squeezed into the bones of Eguchi Risako. She had no way of knowing how Shi Zhanyang learned about these family affairs in detail. She must have spent a lot of effort to find out what, or because Is this also related to that little brother?Risako couldn't even think about it.

Stop talking, stop talking!She just thinks so.

Since taking this position at the age of 19, Risako has skinned a living person. Of course, she has long since ceased to be afraid of those vicious dogs with foul-smelling saliva. Now she has encountered this situation of isolation and helplessness many times. , but now she feels cold.

It was exactly the same as the coldness when she pierced Eguchi's skull with a bullet.She was ready to celebrate.Her ambition has clearly come true.

"I'm sorry." She said subconsciously, grabbing the tablecloth.

Shi Zhanyang was satisfied, and brought up the bloody past that happened to Qiu Shili, and said the last sentence, it was like stabbing himself with a knife. So the pain that could never be redeemed deepened by another scale.But it turns out that he is better at bearing than his opponent.The feeling of being in charge is always inspiring.

Looking at Risako's trembling eyelashes, he didn't give much room for buffering, and smiled again: "Cousin, what a coincidence, that day your godmother Chiharu also adopted a little boy who was mutilated and abandoned by his family, and later And gave him to the care of the eldest daughter, who is my mother."

Risako murmured in a low voice: "Aunt Kazue..."

Shi Zhanyang interrupted: "Now, that child is my younger brother."

He puts a lot of emphasis on the word "mine".It's not the Shi family, it's not anything else, it's his.

The tears that Risako just squeezed out just now have been dried by the sea breeze, but she seemed to be half a beat behind, showing a sad expression, "I swear I never wanted to hurt him, that time bomb in the cave... was the second cousin. Brother pretended it himself, I don't know..."

"Isn't it your husband?"

"...It was my husband's own idea, it was an accident," Risako was stunned for a moment, "Cousin, you should believe it, I don't want little brother ナナ to die."

"Yeah, he still has some effect on you at the moment, you just want me to die, I believe it very much."

Risako insisted: "At least let us meet once."

"Then you should go find it yourself after getting off the boat, and make an appointment," Shi Zhanyang brushed the cigarette rod on the edge of the table carelessly, "instead of wasting our energy here."

"You won't let me find it, you won't let us be alone, cousin, you have tried your best to intercept those news, you are most afraid that he will know your life experience. But paper can't contain fire, paper can't contain fire. "Risako said in a low voice, and also took out a cigarette in her bag. She rummaged through it irritably, found the cigarette case, but there was no lighter, and Shi Zhanyang looked at her coldly, with no intention of making excuses at all.

"Well, it was indeed like this before. I thought it was so cruel, and it didn't do me any good. But these days, I suddenly realized one thing. If he knew about the so-called 'life experience', the Eguchi group would be in a worse situation than me. Oops."

Risako tightly squeezed the slender white cigarette, "How to say?" She stared into Shi Zhanyang's eyes vigilantly.

"Let's go through our train of thought first." Shi Zhanyang was patient and persuasive, "Dr. Qin has been hidden by you for so many years and kept his mouth shut. Now he has been robbed by me, and you meet me again. Finally What do you want?"

"I want Hongsheng to come back to Japan with me."

Shi Zhanyang was silent.

"I want information on him."

Shi Zhanyang remained silent.There was no wave in that look, as if mocking her poor cover-up.

Risako clenched the armrest of the seat, "I want money, I want... rubidium ore!"

"Oh! That's right." Shi Zhanyang clapped his hands between the cigarettes, "Then I have been looking for Dr. Qin for so many years. At first, I had to be careful not to let my father find out. What do I want?"

"I do not know."

"That can't be discussed." Shi Zhanyang picked up the hourglass and was about to throw it.

Risako immediately jumped up to stop her. She pressed her hands to the top of the hourglass and pressed it down. When she saw Zhanyang also withdrew her hands, she sat back on the chair, "It doesn't matter if you want to take out that chip. Nana's health."

"Am I a philanthropist?" Shi Zhanyang laughed.

Risako seemed caught off guard, with doubts, she frowned and looked at Shi Zhanyang's face, although she was smiling, she still couldn't see any emotion. "In my opinion, that's the only thing you need."

"I also want rubidium ore. Who doesn't want a cash cow."

Risako suppressed her shock and the urge to stand up again.

Shi Zhanyang crushed the cigarette butt in his hand.He can usually smoke such a cigar for more than an hour, but now, after just over 20 minutes, the smell of the smoke has bottomed out.He knew that he was pumping too fast, but only such intensive intake could keep him awake, thus building the perfect shell now.

"Give me the mining technology and funds, and when the profits come out, I will seven you three," he also looked straight at Lisazi, "you don't have to worry about the government making documents to grab resources from you, all you have to do is let The one surnamed Qin speaks up, manage his subordinates well, and don't destroy his family."

Risako suddenly smiled: "Cousin, you are threatening me again."

Shi Zhanyang said he was all ears.

"Of course I can ask Dr. Qin to speak. That chip...is it placed in which ventricle, atrium, or valve? You have been looking for it for more than ten years. I just need to ask. How can you be sure whether I have Got it? As long as I meet with my little brother ナナ and get it, all the profits will be mine," she continued with a smile, "You forced it in, and once you open your mouth, you want so much more."

Shi Zhanyang breathed a sigh of relief.He said he wanted money.Risako had already begun to believe it.He made a thoughtful look.

Seeing him frowning, Risako felt a little proud in her heart, she felt that the initiative had slipped back into her hands, and said: "Actually, you are the only one who needs to know the location, I just need to know that the chip is in the body of little brother ナナ, I just need to take him to Japan."

"Then? You burn his storage cabinet to ashes, and pick out what you want from the ashes. You really don't need to know which drawer the key is in." Shi Zhanyang was as relaxed as telling a joke, or It means it will rain tomorrow.

Risako folded her arms and laughed loudly, "At least, you should be the one being threatened. He knows his life experience and what he is being used for. How can it be me who is in a bad situation?"

Shi Zhanyang stopped laughing, poured tea for himself, it was already cold, he took a sip, "cousin, you forgot one thing, I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you still haven't remembered."

Risako's fingers froze, she was still holding her thin cigarette, Shi Zhanyang finally turned on the lighter, turned the wheelchair closer, and pressed the flame on the cigarette, "Your storage cabinet was raised by me. Now, he seems to only believe in me. Do you think he is willing to listen to me and die?"

When he said this, Shi Zhanyang was in severe pain, as if the damn broken chip had pierced his heart, but he didn't show it, he just watched the tongue of fire silently scorching black on the thin white smoke rod, and said He pondered the established lines all night last night, "Why did Grandma Qianchun put your precious chip in an unstable living body, because the chip would die without the beating of the heart, you are so happy from the ashes Pick it up, and then pick out a piece of invalid waste."

The paper and tobacco curled up into black ash and fell on Risako's lap. She stared blankly, "Would you... want him to die?"

"If he knew that his surname was Jiangguchi, the Jiangguchi he hated the most, and I told him that only death can prevent you from making money carelessly through him, what do you think he would do? He would never help You guys." Shi Zhanyang looked into the eyes of the silver lion, propped up a bone in his body so that he could continue to sit up straight, and continued without revealing his flaws, "By the way, you are the one who is responsible for Yushou. Could it be that you haven’t found it? You can try to be a good sister from now on, and coax him to say, can you show me grandma’s guardian? But of course you can’t see it.”

Risako's cold sweat had unconsciously soaked her back, "I can't see it." She repeated.

"Well, ナナ gave it to me, I have been keeping it very cherished, and I plan to keep it for a lifetime," Shi Zhanyang's fingers were burned, and Risako's fingers had already touched the flames, and they were still together Unable to move, "So who is it? If you hadn't been able to pry the old man's mouth open and let him tell the truth, how could I ask your Eguchi group to do charity. The great benefits are there, One is for us to share, and the other is for none of us to get it, you can only choose this matter.”

After finishing speaking, he waited patiently, and Risako was silent for a long time, at least, the hourglass was about to drain the black hourglass, her cigarette disappeared, and her fingers were burnt red and blistered. "Deal." She said suddenly.

Shi Zhanyang closed the lighter and put it back into the inner pocket of the suit again.

Risako stood up, she tried to express a little expression on her stiff face, "Cousin, just follow what I said before, I'll give you 5 minutes, Doctor Qin will definitely tell the truth," she said again Picking up the handbag, "You can search your body, or you can ask someone to watch over you. If I do something wrong, you can just kill me."

"Okay." Shi Zhanyang smiled kindly. The handful of fine sand on the table just fell to the end. He said so many things, but they were all lies. He made himself sick enough, but it also achieved the expected effect. A step-by-step successful deception!What chip guards, what rubidium mines, what [-]% are all bullshit!

Risako's initial answer was actually correct. He just wanted to hold full confidence and return the health that was brutally deprived in the previous generation to Qiu Shili, so that he could live a good life.For this reason, he was prepared to kill the donkey after a while, although this was something he despised originally.

"You can also let the gentleman who aimed at me on the upper terrace take a rest." Shi Zhanyang said again as he pressed the speed button of the wheelchair with his finger.

Eguchi Risako's expression can be called panic, it seems that at this second, she really realized the futility of all her calculations, but it was also at this second that the person she brought on board as a guaranteed secret The gunman, who had been on duty for half an hour, rolled down from the upper deck like a sack clutching his throat, fell straight onto the pure white deck, collided with his own clear shadow, and knocked over two high-backed chairs.

He couldn't even scream, but Shi Zhanyang was covered in hot blood.

Shi Zhanyang's head buzzed, he looked up suddenly, wiped the plasma on his eyelashes, he saw that the sky was still covered with a dull red.

His eyes only caught a fleeting green shadow.
