However, it was clearly imprinted in his mind.

When Goto talked to Atsuko for the first time, he imagined in his mind: Ah, I should marry her!

Tsk!What the hell are you drowning in sentimentality!It's so annoying, what is there to be afraid of my wife!Goto then rang the doorbell.

"coming."

Rieko opened a crack in the door to reveal her face.

"Yo!"

"Unfortunately, Atsuko has gone home. She said her mail-order cosmetics have arrived."

Goto breathed a sigh of relief.Anyway, his wife is either here or at home.

"Really, the two of you give me a little too! You are both at this age and you are arguing over such a childish thing."

Rieko kept thinking.That's how this woman nags, that's why her husband is scared away by her.Forget it, I'm not qualified to say that others are fine.

"Don't talk about these things, I have something to tell you about work."

"What's the matter? Do you want to change your career?"

"No! It's serious business."

Sensing Goto's serious eyes, Eriko opened the door and let Goto enter the room.

Goto passed the living room littered with wine bottles and biscuit bags.Even a big man would not make the house into such a virtue.

"Is it your hobby to mess up the house?"

"I'll put my ugly words first, your wife did all of this. Go tell her to clean it up for me before leaving!"

Eriko sighed and complained, threw the magazines on the sofa aside and sat down.How noisy can two women be when they say bad things about a man?Just imagining that scene gave Goto a splitting headache.

"What do you have to say?"

Goto shook his head, adjusted his mood and sat down on the sofa.

"Do you remember that incident?"

"Which one? It's because you keep speaking unclearly that Atsuko will..."

"Rika Sawaguchi."

When Eriko, who was eloquent, heard this name, her expression instantly became stiff.Sure enough, he hasn't forgotten it, and it seems that this incident has also left a shadow in her heart.

"What are you bringing this up for now?"

It is only natural for Eriko to have doubts. After all, this incident has been closed, and it ended with the victim committing suicide and the prisoner being arrested.Goto hasn't mentioned Yakumo's matter to Eriko yet, so he doesn't know how to speak, and he doesn't know how to answer Eriko.

"Could it be related to that young man you know who can see ghosts?"

Eriko looked at Goto suspiciously.

"Hey, why do you know about Yakumo?"

"Papa Hatake told me."

"That perverted old man!"

It's because the old man Hatake is always gossiping, that's why I'm dubbed the "Spiritual Detective" for no apparent reason.

"Hey, is it true?"

Eriko leaned forward with great interest.

"what?"

"About the young man who can see ghosts."

It was too late for Goto to deny it now.

"Really, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it. Yakumo and I have an inexhaustible relationship, and after experiencing many things together, there is no room for me not to believe it."

Goto lit a cigarette.Although Eriko looked displeased, she still put an empty jar in front of Goto.

"Do you still think there's something inside that?"

"I don't know, it's just that her soul still seems to be wandering in the world... I want to know the reason. It's been five years, why is she still wandering?"

Eriko looked away as if thinking about something, and took a sip of the can of beer in her hand.

"I couldn't accept the whole process from the beginning because it was so wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Does she even think so?

"Why was I excluded from the search? What's more, there are two male newcomers who took over. This is too common sense! And the search record said that there was no suicide note left at the scene, but I heard from a person who went to the scene to search In fact, the suicide note was discovered at that time. It always makes people feel that something is wrong when the suicide note disappears out of thin air.”

After Eriko finished talking in one breath with excitement, she took a little breath.In an organization like the police with a strict upper-lower relationship, even if they disagree with the instructions from above, they must accept them.And all kinds of incidents came one after another, and I had to learn to erase that regret.Goto himself did not know how many times he had tasted that bitter taste.

What Eriko said just now intensified Goto's doubts.

"For our friendship, can you do me a favor?"

"You want me to investigate that rape incident again?"

"That's right. I'll investigate the background of the matter, and you should go secretly to find out what the person in charge of investigating the case at the time said."

Eriko bit her plump lower lip.Wouldn't she want to do this?

"Don't do it?"

"of course yes!"

Eriko puffed out her chest and replied.Although she is not beautiful, she is very reliable!

Yu also lay on the sofa, in a daze while listening to music.

He really likes doing nothing and thinking about nothing like this, like floating with water.

Yuya's home is actually not far from here, but since he met Shinichi, he seldom goes home, and almost always stays in Shinichi's house.

Yu also has a disagreement with his father's personality, especially after his mother passed away, he and his father had more opportunities to be alone, but the relationship between father and son deteriorated further.In fact, there was no quarrel or conflict between them, they just didn't know what to say.His father thought the same, right?So even if Yu didn't go home, his father wouldn't say much.

Shinichi also said that living alone in this three-bedroom, two-living apartment was too boring, so he quickly accepted Yuya into his home, and loved Yuya as his younger brother.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.Yu also looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows and found that the curtains were swaying in the wind.Are the windows open?Yu also stood up and looked at the French windows leading to the balcony.

Pat clap clack!Yu also felt as if something passed through behind him.Strange, brother Shinichi should not be back yet, right?

There also seemed to be something passing through the window.what is that?Yu also stood up and walked slowly to the window and opened the curtains.

Just then, the lights went out.

"Ugh—"

There is a woman outside the window.

Her face was stained red with blood.

That was the woman who appeared in the mirror in the bathroom of the bar last night.

Just when Yuye fled to the entrance, Shinichi suddenly opened the door and came in.

"Help! That woman, she..."

Yuuya grabbed Shinichi's foot and wailed.

"What the hell are you screaming? What happened?"

Shinichi shook Yuya's shoulder, but Yuya, who was so frightened, couldn't answer Shinichi's question properly.

"You all go to hell!"

A voice came out of nowhere.Shinichi and Yuya glanced at each other, shouted and rushed out the door.

Ishii walked out of the police station to the parking lot behind.He waited until midnight, but Officer Goto still didn't come back; he tried to contact Officer Goto, but no one answered the phone, he had no choice but to go home first.However, Ishii has been thinking almost every day recently, is it really good for him to live like this?Others don't hesitate to sacrifice their sleep time and race against the clock to handle the case...

Maybe he shouldn't have this kind of thought, but he just can't help thinking, can't there be a more exciting case?However, those as intense as the last consecutive abduction incidents will be avoided.He wanted cases that were a little bit safer, a little bit scary and exciting.

"Mr. Ishii"

"Wow--"

A figure suddenly appeared from the darkness, making Ishii scream out.

"Ah, sorry to scare you. It's me, Makoto."

Makoto bowed deeply and apologized.Ishii's heart made a beating sound of "plop plop plop". Although he has gotten used to Makoto a little bit, he still has a vivid impression of Makoto as having a nightmare.Akira Ishii knew it wasn't Makoto's fault, but he was still afraid of her.

"Ah, so it's Makoto-san. What's the matter so late?"

Ishii spoke as calmly as possible.

"Actually, there's something I want to discuss with you. So I waited here without permission for you to get off work."

"At this time?"

"Sorry, you must be very troubled!"

Makoto lowered her head.

"Ah, no, that's not what I mean. I mean, if you call first and say it, you won't have to wait so late."

An inexplicable sense of guilt welled up in Ishii's heart, so he quickly explained.

"I'm afraid to interrupt your work because I want to talk about a personal matter."

"Is it a personal matter?"

"Yes, I won't take too much of your time."

Makoto saluted again.

"Uh... of course I'd be happy if I could help. But it's already so late, I'll take you home by the way!"

Makoto is the daughter of the police station, he can't just reject her.

And he couldn't take the chief's daughter back to the police station. If other police officers saw the two of them standing here talking at this time, they might be in trouble later.

So Ishii opened the car door and let Makoto get in the car.

As soon as Makoto got into the car, Ishii drove away as if fleeing.

But he recently added a temporary income.He didn't think about what he thought was the legacy of yesteryear
