did you see my dad

On the street with people coming and going, someone pushed open the door of the coffee shop and sat by the window to start ordering.

The blond young man who was a coffee shop clerk showed a friendly smile, glanced at the notebook on the stool, and brought a cup of hot drink for the female police officer who often came here to refresh herself.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood. Has there been any difficult case recently?" Because there were not many customers in the store, Toru Amuro asked in a familiar tone. His voice made people relax. The policewoman He squeezed his brows wearily, and did not deny his words, "There have been two murders this month, with similar techniques and shortened time intervals... If he is not caught, it is very likely that he will commit the crime again."

"Don't put too much pressure on it, it will always be caught."

He bent down to comfort him, his eyes fell on the exposed corner of the paper calmly, and the address written on the scrawled handwriting looked familiar.

That happened to be the place where he delivered food last time, in the area where he met that kid.

He retracted his gaze, returned to the background where he was resting, turned on the phone and operated it for a while, and after a while, he received the specific information of the case on the phone.

[No.1 deceased: Japanese male, 23 years old, found dead in a trash can at the back door of the bar. 】

[No.2 deceased: British male, 19 years old, found dead in a small park near Senyuan Apartment. 】

Looking at it this way, it seems that there is nothing in common.

But the next page—

The No.1 deceased had worn blue colored contact lenses, and the No.2 deceased had blue eyes. The two deceased had no intersection before, and the only thing they had in common was this.

blue eyes.

that kid...

The kid who waved him goodbye also seemed to have blue eyes.

Amuro put his phone back into his pocket, and another clerk who came in bumped his arm: "Why are you so preoccupied? There are a lot of customers outside, come quickly."

"coming!"

He wondered if he might be too sensitive, even if she had the same blue pupils, it might not be a coincidence that she happened to be the murderer's next target.

But even though he thought so, when he received a delivery from Senyuan's apartment in the store, Toru Amuro, who was holding a coffee, took the lead to take over the job: "Please let me deliver it!"

Putting on the helmet and riding the car, Toru Amuro gradually walked away amidst the store manager's praise: "What a hardworking kid..."

And Huali is still struggling with this candy.

She wasn't greedy, but if Zhizi said so, it would be impolite for her not to agree.

Fujii Zhizi's eyes were dark, she put her palm on the glass and talked to Huali, frowning slightly: "Does Huali not want to be friends with me? Or do you hate me?"

This is the first time Huali has heard such a question.

Only the three-year-old Huali was too sensible, and immediately denied it after hearing such words: "That's not it!"

Tomoko Fujii still lowered her eyes, and was not relieved by her rebuttal. She turned around as if she was about to leave: "I see, I won't bother you again in the future."

Huali was stunned for a moment, then opened the door without thinking, ran out and grabbed her: "Don't go..."

It's a gloomy day today, and there's no one around.

"Then—" She peeled off the outer wrapping paper with her delicate fingers, and Zhizi handed her the candy, "If you eat it, I will treat it as if you don't hate me."

Huali took a bite, her cheeks were bulging, she squeaked twice to show Tomoko Fujii: "Look!"

The girl laughed.

She caressed Huali's face, looking at her blue eyes and muttering something in a low voice, Huali couldn't hear clearly, she only knew that she had saved a little friend, and seeing that Zhizi was not in a good mood, she invited her to sit in her home. Sit down and share your sucking jelly with her by the way.

But she refused.

Tomoko Fujii pulled her hand away without a trace, and she pushed Huali: "You should go back."

Huali asked her to wait while she was eating candy, and Tomoko Fujii stood in the shade of a tree and waited for a while. She looked around and found someone, then lowered her head and covered her face with her long hair.

She began to count the time with her fingers, and when she counted to 1 minute, a pair of little feet appeared in front of her.

"Hey!" Huali still had the candy in her mouth, but she held five sucking jellies in her hand and handed it to her.

Tomoko Fujii looked at her.

Huali thought she was embarrassed, and moved the jelly closer to her: "Because Zhizi gave me candy, so—"

The candy is a bit big, Huali's tongue adjusted the position of the candy in her mouth to avoid the saliva from falling down.

She continued: "So, here's your return gift."

After a pause, Tomoko Fujii smiled a little, took one from her hand and held it in his hand: "Thank you..."

Huali wanted to say something else, but Tomoko Fujii suddenly raised her hand and pinched the candy stick in her mouth: "Open your mouth."

Huali let out a cry.

Tomoko Fujii threw the red candy into the trash can. Seeing Huali's puzzled look, she just smiled: "Suddenly remembered that you should eat less candy at your age, otherwise you will be prone to tooth decay."

Huali nodded with half understanding.

"Go back quickly," Tomoko Fujii turned her back. When the wind blew, the skirt seemed to be very thin against her body. "Don't go out at night."

She had just taken two steps, and when she saw someone in front of her, she immediately moved away. Tomoko Fujii looked up. It was a young man with a wheat complexion. When the two looked at each other, she quickly looked away and walked towards the path. go.

When Huali was about to close the door, she happened to see the big brother she had met before, and she waved at him with the unfinished sucking jelly: "Big brother!"

The young man trotted over with a smile, knelt down and greeted her: "Long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

"Of course," Huali nodded vigorously and looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a smile, "Dad has been very kind to Huali recently."

As he said that, he stuffed the sucking jelly in his hand to him.

Amuro laughed, but still put the child's gift in his pocket. He looked at the darkness of the house: "Are you alone at home? Are you not afraid if you don't turn on the light?"

"The power went out," Huali pursed her mouth unhappily, "Dad went out to earn money, Huali can only stay at home alone, but the TV is asleep."

"Is that so-"

Toru Amuro scanned the surroundings: "It seems that there is electricity on other floors. It may be tripped. I'll go and have a look."

Huali couldn't understand tripping, but she understood Amuro Tonengxiu, so she brought him in in a brazen manner, completely forgetting what Gin said.

Perhaps because of his experience, the young man took almost no time to fix it, but he checked the electrical appliances used in the house, and it didn't seem like a trip, but rather like someone pulled it down on purpose.

Huali held the cup with both hands and handed it to Toru Amuro outside the door: "Brother, drink tea!"

He jumped off the stool, took Huali's water and drank it all in one gulp.

It's just that he didn't tell a three-year-old child his doubts. Even if he told her, he probably wouldn't understand. He just reminded her to remember to tell her parents: "It's not peaceful recently, please pay attention to safety."

Huali nodded, Amuro Toru's goal had been achieved, seeing that she was intact, he didn't stay any longer, the coffee shop was still waiting for him to go back to work, so he waved his hand and left.

And the man in the distance turned on his mobile phone, and his face immediately sank when he saw the door of the house was open.

Huali walked in and closed the door, and without knowing it, sat back on the sofa and continued watching TV.She also didn't know that the man stepped on the accelerator tightly in order to come back sooner, and the cigarette on his lips never stopped.

Huali watched TV all afternoon, rubbed her sore eyes and fell asleep on the sofa.

It was almost dark when he came back.

The moment the key was inserted into the lock, Huali was still awake.

There was a dull sound of leather boots stepping on the floor, and the sound was getting closer and closer. Huali felt something rough and hot on her face, so she twisted her buttocks and turned her head away in displeasure.

The man pinched her cheek again, and the faint pain on her face made her wake up gradually. When she opened her eyes, the expression on the man's face was no longer enough to be described as cloudy.

He's angry, and it's serious.

Huali hadn't fully woken up yet, she habitually grasped his fingers with both hands, rubbed her cheek against his rough palm, and leaned her whole body against him after calling papa delicately.

Like a sticky puppy.

Gin Jiu didn't like her today, and pinched her collar to lift him up and stood on the sofa to look at him. Huali hasn't seen him so fierce for a long time, but because the sleepiness hasn't dissipated, it's reduced Responding to the danger, she leaned over again: "Hug..."

"Tell me what you did today." The man lifted her limp body, ignoring her current needs, "Stand up."

He seemed to have suddenly changed into the cold look he had when training members of the organization a long time ago, staring at her with ice-cold eyes, Huali only then realized something was wrong, with her little hands behind her back, looking at him anxiously.

"Dumb?"

Huali's deflated belly was poked by the man's fingers, and she let out a grunt in a very uncomfortable way.

Gin glanced at the time, eight hours had passed since the only meal of the day, let alone a child, he felt empty at this moment.

But now is not the time to eat.

Qin Jiu took off his hat, closed the curtains in the house again, and walked in front of Huali again.

He looked a little tired, but his eyes were still sharp: "Why did you open the door today?"

Only then did Huali know why her father was angry.

She blinked her eyes to sort out her chaotic thoughts, because Amuro Toru's memory was closer, she explained in a chaotic order: "Before, ah... Huali met the big brother who ate a sandwich, he..."

Huali pointed to the light on her finger: "Because there is a power outage!"

Gin squinted at her expression to see if she was lying.

"Big Brother said he needs to fix it," Huali felt that she was speaking very clearly, "Yes, Huali remembered correctly! Big Brother fixed the electricity! Huali poured him a glass of water..."

The child's explanation was one sentence at a time, and she spoke very finely, and the gin extracted useful information from it, but he did not forgive her behavior for that.

"Did I ever tell you?" Gin paused for a moment before uttering stern words from his thin lips, "No one can open the door casually!"

Huali, who was about to tell Zhizi, was suddenly interrupted from thinking. She was so fierce that she bit her lip and nodded slowly.

"Then why do you still do this?" Gin's head was throbbing, he took out the cigarette irritably, lit it up and took two puffs, Huali closed his mouth after wanting to say something, and lowered his head as if he had done something wrong Not sent.

But the smell of smoke came under her breath, and after taking a puff, Huali couldn't help but choked and coughed, Gin glanced at her, squeezed out the cigarette with two fingers, and threw it into the trash can.

He lifted Huali off the sofa: "Go back to the room."

Huali tugged at the hem of his clothes, she thought her father didn't want her because he was so disappointed in her, so she called out in a low voice but hastily: "Dad..."

Gin gave her a push, and waved away the smell of smoke with his other hand.

"Go to your room and stay."

Huali staggered and managed to stabilize her body.She looked up at the gin, and the man turned his back as if he didn't want to see her, and his nose felt sore for a moment.

"Dad, I was wrong...don't want me..."

With a wow, Huali rushed over and hugged his thigh, tears streaming down her face, crying pitifully.

Gin's pants were stained with tears.

The child cried like a flood, Qin Jiu clicked his tongue and tried to grab her off, but Huali hugged his leg tightly, unwilling to let go no matter what.

"Huali, let go." When the man said her name, Huali couldn't help but stop crying. The tears on her face even wet the hair on her forehead. She sobbed and slowly let go of her hand, aggrieved and Stand up.

"It's so ugly," the man wiped the tears off her face with his smoke-stained palm. There was a cut on his sleeve. When Huali pulled him, she noticed it. Her eyes became cautious, as if she still Worried that the gin would drive her out, her voice twitched, "Dad, Dad... Huali knew it was wrong, it was wrong..."

"Next time—" the man sneered, "I'll just throw your jelly out."

Huali opened her eyes wide and looked at him, thinking she had heard it wrong, but two seconds later she smiled through her tears, and whispered to him, "Dad, don't be angry."

"Yeah." Qin Jiu looked down at her pitiful appearance, wiped away the tears in his hands with a tissue, but accidentally hit his arm against the sofa with too much force, hissed, and sat down covering his arms.

"Dad, where is your pain!?" He said looking at his arm.

He shook his hands and asked her to go back to the room impatiently: "What can I do."

Huali squatted firmly at his feet, but didn't go back to the room.

He didn't hide anymore, he took off his windbreaker and threw it on the ground. The sleeves of the dark shirt were already wet, and the smell of rust got into Huali's nose. She stared at the man unbuttoning his clothes, but she didn't know Why, Gin unbuttoned halfway and made her turn around.

Huali pouted and turned around.

The wound was not deep, but he hurried back and didn't have time to deal with it, which made it look serious now.

It's not easy to do with one hand, but it's not impossible.

Huali obediently brought the bandage, and he had already treated the wound. The blood-stained cloth was thrown on the table, and the slit was turned outward, which looked terrible.

Gin took the medical gauze and wrapped it around his arm, and he pressed it with his chin and wound it inconveniently.

Huali stretched out her little finger to hold him down, indicating that she could help.

The final knot is tied by Huali. She learned how to tie it from Yiermi, and it is very beautiful.

at night--

Toru Amuro stuffed food into his mouth, and casually checked the surveillance cameras nearby when the two deceased appeared, but the places where the corpses appeared were all in the dead corner of the surveillance, or the surveillance was aging, and no effective information was captured at all.

This is...

Strange.

Although it doesn't matter to him, how should I put it, because he happened to have something to do with that child, and he was in a state of peace as a Japanese police officer who was placed in the black organization. It doesn't matter.

When he was looking at the surveillance around the bar, he happened to see a little girl.

A red dress made him feel a little familiar.

It seems that I encountered it when I was looking for a child today.

strangeness.

What do kids do near bars...

Amuro got through the phone: "Check someone for me, um, I'll send you a photo to see if there is any information about her in the database."

After a while, he received information about this person in his mobile phone.

【Tomoko Fujii, was discharged from the mental hospital two months ago...】
