[Toru Amuro] Those years when I worked at Poirot

"Have you gained weight recently?" When washing the dishes at night, he suddenly looked back at me and said casually without irony.

I was stuffing the sixth piece of raw fried eel into my mouth, when I heard his unintentional questioning, I almost bit my tongue.

I blushed and tossed the half-bitten eel back on my plate.

I have such a sensitive reaction, mostly because he is telling the truth.This week I did gain a bit of roundness, only in the stomach area.

In the final analysis, he fed it.

I had a bad stomach that day, and as soon as he came home, he saw me lying on the carpet half dead, so in the next few days, I was forced to eat three meals on time.

My tough attitude, which was not very solid, gradually rotted and disintegrated under the intensive bombardment of his sugar-coated shells.

During the time I lived, he didn't make fun of me, and, I don't know if I was delusional, he seemed to be trying to curry favor with me.

What play is this in?

"Don't eat?" He removed the eel plate, poured a cup of stomach-warming ginger and jujube tea and put it in front of me. I touched my belly and sighed. He suddenly stretched out a hand and lightly touched the corner of my mouth with his thumb Dab it.

It turned out to be a piece of white sesame seeds stuck to the corner of my mouth.He scraped off the corner of my mouth and licked the sesame seeds stuck on his thumb into his mouth with his tongue. This very ambiguous operation made me feel a little restless.

Then he turned and went back to washing the dishes.

"Is it difficult for you to sit here and eat?" He turned his back to me and asked suddenly.

I barely needed a reaction to see what he meant.

I bit my lip, and my fingers started to pick things uncontrollably again.Almost half a month ago, right here, he did something too much to me——

"I'm sorry about what happened that day." He stopped his movements and lowered his head slightly, "You may not believe it, but I did lose control. I don't know what happened to me. I only have violent thoughts in my mind. There is something wrong with me in the villa..."

"Really? But even though you were sorry, you still reported me, causing me to lose my freedom like a prisoner?" I stared at his back resentfully and asked.

"It's not me, I didn't report you. Besides, my establishment is in the Ministry of Public Security, and I have no direct business relationship with the Police Department. If I want to report you, I should also report to the entry-exit department of the Ministry of Public Security." He shook off the foam on his hands, Turned around and looked at me and said.

I looked into the depths of his eyes, and what I saw was calmness. I don't know if it's because his acting skills are too superb, or if he is really innocent.

"In the past few days, I also took the time to investigate. Ayumi Utada, who ordered your arrest, has many doubts. He probably arrested you under someone's instructions. This man behind the scenes is terrifying, and he has actually infiltrated the police department." If he Said thoughtfully.

"Is it really not you?" I asked him suspiciously.

He shrugged: "I swear, I didn't do it."

I pursed my lips and continued to look at him distrustfully.

"You said that you did something like that because you lost control that night. Can I understand that you are making excuses for your bestial behavior?" I mustered up the courage to keep looking directly into his eyes, and continued to ask.

He spread his hands: "After all, I made the mistake first, you can be sarcastic, but I have been unable to figure out some problems."

"what is the problem?"

"There have been two strange murders in Tokyo in the past few days. In the first incident, two female college students bit and fought each other in the dormitory. Both of them died of their arteries being bitten. There is an incident, and they have each other's meat in their mouths. Can you imagine how much these two people hate each other, so they choose to work hard in this way? According to classmates, the two are very good friends and often go together travel."

I listened dumbfounded, as if listening to a late-night ghost story on the radio.

"The second incident involved a couple with a lot of jewels sitting opposite each other, swallowing their jewels in mouthfuls and choking to death. Both incidents were recent and—"

He stopped deliberately, and I swallowed desperately, staring at him.

"And these four people are our old acquaintances in the Black Cat Villa. The two female college students are the last two girls who were rescued. The couple who swallowed the gems are the thieves couple who pretended to be the Tamiya couple and finally slipped away."

I had a hard time closing my mouth.

"I analyzed it, and the culprit that caused their madness was the desire lurking in their hearts. The pair of thieves had a strong desire to possess treasures, so they devoured them like crazy. The two female students resented because of the terrible encounter. The other party saw the scene of bloody minced meat flying all over again, so he chose to attack the other party by biting under the madness, and I was also affected. What I did to you was the consequence of my being affected. "

He said with a wry smile.

His analysis made sense, but I didn't understand what he was talking about.

"Because I have a strong desire for you deep in my heart, and this influence has strengthened this desire, so I violated you so violently..."

When he said this, his eyes were firmly locked on my face, just like his own, with invisible aggression.
