[Comprehensive manga] Ruiguang

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The deep and deep voice fit perfectly with Pu Xia's slightly ferocious appearance. He watched me gradually approaching him, his clear eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Urashita took me to his departmental classroom, a small room with Shinichi Urashita's name plate on the desk.The sound insulation effect of the door is not particularly good, and occasionally the sound of discussions with police officers from the same department as Urakata can be heard outside the door.

I sat down on the chair opposite Urashita, with the workbench between him.Looking at Pu Xia's serious face as before, he looked confident, as if he had predicted that I would definitely look for him again.

This feeling of being calculated in advance made me feel a little uncomfortable, "Officer Puxia seems to know that I will definitely come to you."

"It's not certain, it's just a gamble." Puxia replied, and then he put his elbows on the table and put his chin on the back of his clasped palms, "The result is that you are willing to come to me , that's enough."

The so-called gamble probably refers to the last sentence Puxia yelled at me in front of the hospital elevator.I have to admit that those words were really effective, and even shook many of my previous thoughts in my heart.

"So, I want to know what Police Officer Puxia has always wanted to talk to me about." I didn't beat around the bush and asked directly. My heart was a little depressed, but I mustered up the courage to say the last thing I didn't want to mention, "Please tell me , about half a year ago, about...about my mother..."

Urashita nodded, opened the drawer, and pulled out a video tape from the bottom of the drawer, "Before we talk, I want to show you something."

The content of the video tape is probably a surveillance video of some place. Urashita just motioned me to watch this video, without telling me any information related to the video in advance.

The picture in the video is very blurry, because it is night, and it was raining heavily when this video was recorded, which made the picture even more unclear, but you can vaguely see the blurred lights and buildings that are about to be covered by the rain outline of the object.

After the screen stayed on the heavy rain and the house for more than ten seconds, the first person appeared. Although it only passed the camera quickly, this scene was still recorded by surveillance.The appearance of that person is not clear at all in the video, but he is wearing a raincoat that can be bought at any convenience store, so it is completely certain.

Seeing such a picture, I couldn't help but hold my breath.The memory of going to the bungalow on a rainy night flooded my brain like a flood.The time in the upper right corner of the video happened to be the date Lanyuan Changzhi was killed. This video was probably from a surveillance camera in the villa area.So, that person... is it me?

I didn't dare to speak, and Puxia didn't open his mouth either.The atmosphere was a little stiff, and the silence made my heart beat faster and faster.

Then, Urashita fast-forwarded the video and skipped for about 40 minutes. A second person appeared on the screen. The same thing was that he was wearing the same raincoat as the previous one. Because of the heavy rain, it was not obvious from the video. The difference between the two, or, the body shapes of the two are relatively close.

"This video is the surveillance on the road that Lan Yuan's house must pass through. In other words, anyone captured by the surveillance may be suspected of being the murderer. Lan Yuan, do you have any doubts about this video?"

I didn't expect Puxia to ask me that. To be honest, I can't see anything suspicious.After I arrived at the bungalow that night, Aihara Masaoyuki and Mayu had already been killed. If the latter person was me, then the former one must be the murderer without a doubt.I'm not surprised by the scenes at that time restored by the video.

"I didn't see anything wrong." I expressed my feelings intuitively. Since it was the surveillance video obtained by the police, it must be impossible to fake it.

After I finished answering, Urashita fast-forwarded the video again, this time skipping about an hour, and a third person appeared in the frame, wearing exactly the same raincoat.

"Why is that! Three people..."

While being puzzled, I couldn't restrain the depression in my heart and screamed out.Pu Xia waved his hand at me and told me to continue watching, and he skipped the time by about 10 minutes.Ten seconds after he stopped and fast-forwarded, a vague figure ran past in the opposite direction of the three people passing by, without a raincoat or an umbrella.

After seeing the corpses of Aihara Masaoyuki and Mayu, I was indeed so frightened that I didn't take the raincoat from the entrance and ran away. The last figure who ran back was me...

"The suspicious point is that although three people may have gone to the Lan Yuan Mansion, only one returned by the same route."

After being told by Urashita in this way, the problem of video recording is completely clear.Indeed, as he said, why did two people not come back.The time span of the video is from one o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the morning. If this time coincides with the time when Lanyuan Masaoyuki was killed, then among the three people who went to the bungalow that night and I, the first two people besides me who is it?

After thinking about it, I panicked. Things at that time were much more complicated than I imagined.

"Lan Yuan, what you concealed during your interrogation half a year ago must have been the fact that you had been to the scene of the crime."

Puxia's accent was like the judge's gavel, hitting my heart one after another.While feeling guilty, my body trembled uncontrollably.I didn't dare to answer, I was afraid that the trembling voice I made would betray my shaky state of mind at the moment.

"Don't be afraid, in the investigation half a year ago, the last part of the video was not used in the scope of the investigation, because the time of death does not include the time when the last person appeared." Uraxia continued to speak emotionlessly, like a machine , "If the last person is you, this is the best evidence to prove that you are not the murderer."

Clear... evidence?I silently read the main points of the words in my heart, as if I was touched against the scales, I was silent for a few seconds, and finally broke out uncontrollably.

"Then why didn't you take this out to prove my innocence!" I excitedly slapped down the table and stood up, staring hard at Urashita's rigid face with wide-open eyes.I was so out of breath, so excited that my exhalations were out of rhythm and I was wheezing.

At this moment, I was undoubtedly wronged. For so long, I had the reputation of being a "murderer", being pointed at by everyone, despised everywhere, disgusted and rejected like being treated by bedbugs.If this video can simply prove it, what does it mean to show it to me now!

The palms pressing against the table were clasped hard, and the fingertips began to turn white.Sure enough, it was a mistake for me to come to Uraxia!

"It is impossible to tell which one is you in the video, and besides, you also completely concealed the fact that you went to the Lanyuan Mansion at that time." Pu Xia simply explained, his tone was completely emotionless and calm.

With that said, or did I do it to myself?

The grief and indignation in my heart gradually turned into powerless sarcasm. I shook my shoulders and laughed out loud like a dry cough.Throat hurts deep, nasal cavity is sore.

so ironic...

"Officer Puxia, you are so incompetent, huh? Hahahaha..." At that time, I couldn't do anything, but now I'm here to tell me all kinds of news at that time.

"Lan Yuan, please calm down..."

"Do you have the right to tell me to calm down!" I slapped the table fiercely again, and the eyes that stared at Pu Xia began to ache, "What is the meaning of this for me to see? I want to express that everything is my own fault Do you deserve it?"

"Lan Yuan..."

"What? Do you think I'll be grateful to you if you say you believe I'm not the murderer? Did you deliberately tell me that my mother didn't have an alibi? Did you mean to imply that one of the videos in my video was my mother? I went to the hospital to find Did you miss my mother? Did you come to me because you didn’t get a response? Do you want to get proof from my mother through me?”

My brain felt as if it had been scorched, so hot that my thinking began to feel a little dazed.It is undeniable that there is some anger involved in this series of random questions with no logic. I can't calm down. No matter what Puxia is telling me now, I will not listen to it anymore.

The conversation with Pu Xia broke up again.I slammed the small door of the classroom compartment and walked out angrily.

"Lan Yuan-san."

This cry made me clear my mind a little. Sanada stood upright at the door, and he nodded to me, his expression was still awe-inspiring.

"Has Sanada-san left yet? Where's Akaya-kun?" The slightly calmer tone was still trembling.

"Chi Ye's sister came to pick him up, Lan Yuan-san doesn't know the way, does he?"

"Eh? Was Sanada-san waiting for me just now?"

"Let's go."

Sanada turned sideways and motioned for me to follow, as if to lead the way for me.This surprised me very much. It's just someone I just met, so there's no need to do this, right?

Looking at Sanada's serious and awe-inspiring face, I didn't dare to say a word of refusal, I silently bowed to him to express my gratitude, and then followed.
