The other side of the perfect world

Chapter 24 Invitation

#24 INVITE

The thick night seems to be diluted by water, and the cool and hazy symbolizes that the sky is about to open its eyes from a deep sleep.

"In other words... Do you think that something happened to the real Hasegawa Haru on the way to escape, and then Hasegawa, who loves his brother deeply, began to play the image of his brother's pianist, and at the same time launched revenge on the fans, that's it. Bar?"

"That's right!"

This is the only answer that can be obtained by combining all the information that can be obtained, and Kou is convinced of this.Unknowingly, he and Makishima studied Hasegawa Haru's incident all night, but neither of them looked tired at all.

"What's lacking now is the evidence."

"evidence……"

Makishima's drooping eyelids suddenly lifted up, revealing a pair of bright golden pupils.

"How about getting Hasegawa Wataru's sheet music?"

"Does he have the sheet music?"

"Well, when he was playing "Double Helix", he kept looking at the score. Although I don't know why he didn't memorize the score and destroy it, but this is just right. If he gets the score..."

"Analyzing the 'hypnotic instructions' in it is conclusive evidence!"

Qiao Yao smiled, like a cheetah that had been hungry for days and nights and finally caught a sika deer.

"But, have you thought about what to do next?"

"what do you mean?"

A silent sigh spit out from Makishima's mouth, "Even if it can be proved that Hasegawawa is a murderer, if the Sibyl system judges him to be exonerated, then the Dominator cannot be activated, right?"

"At that time, it's time for it to show its talents!"

As he said that, Qiao Nian patted the gun pinned to his waist, his movements were crisp and neat.Makishima, who witnessed this behavior, couldn't help but smile wryly: "Sure enough, killing people is addictive..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by Qiao Niu as expected.

"It's only four o'clock, let's sleep for a while! Recharge your batteries, we will be busy in the daytime."

The cunning who looked down at his watch murmured.

Nodding, Makishima came to the bed from Shan Ruliu, stretched out his hand and gently pressed the mattress with moderate loft.

"How about... want to sleep together?"

"cough……"

Almost choking on his own saliva, Qiaognae coughed twice violently.He really couldn't figure out whether Makishima, who offered such an invitation calmly, was serious or just making fun of him.

"I didn't expect you to be so easy to see through..."

A pair of golden pupils narrowed into unscrupulous slits, Makishima left the bed, and when passing by Qiao Yao, said considerately, "I think I'd better sleep on the floor, if we really sleep together, I'm afraid there's no way to recharge your energy." Rui'... it will only make you more tired."

"..."

His cheeks were instantly reddened, and his heart was pounding with excitement when he heard Makishima's overtones.

"I'm going to bed!"

Throwing down these words coldly, feeling that he was being teased, he got into the quilt without looking back.

Soon, the sound of well-proportioned breathing drifted into Makishima's ears.

Falling asleep really fast...

Thinking this way, he had just spread out the quilt on the ground, when suddenly, the discordant vibration broke the tranquility before dawn.

"This is……"

The pop-up screen of the mobile terminal displayed a series of unfamiliar numbers and a familiar photo——

Makishima's complexion darkened, and was soon replaced by an elegant smile.While pressing the answer button, a male voice came out.

"Well, this is Makishima Shōgo's number, right?"

"Ah……"

Meaningful laughter curled up into the air, passed through the glass window embraced by a layer of mist, and scattered towards the pale sky——

Its daybreak.

boom--

Huo Ran sat up, between his widened eyes, a drop of sweat flowed from his forehead, and slid along the bridge of his high nose, a streak of bone-piercing coldness.

Cunning is having a nightmare!

However, I can't remember.

Uneasy, like a shadow that cannot be shaken off—uneasy.

"Makishima..."

He couldn't help calling Makishima's name, he turned his head back and forth, his gaze seemed to be shot from a machine gun bullet, and immediately turned the room into a hornet's nest.

He doesn't know what's wrong with him. Makishima is obviously not a child, but he has to confirm the existence of this man like a teacher confirms the number of students. It seems that if he doesn't do this, his body and mind will collapse, and he will be shocked by unreasonable anxiety collapse!

"Makishima..."

not in-

Jumping off the bed with a bang, Sly Nie hurriedly draped his coat over his shoulders, his feet slid straight to the door as if stepping on soap, and opened the door with a click——

"what are you doing?"

Makishima Shōgo was standing at the gate.

The pupils dilated instantly, and the brain had no time to react. The body rushed forward without authorization, and directly hugged Makishima Shenghu in his arms.

"?"

Suddenly, the heart seemed to be stabbed by a question word, and Qiao Niu felt an unprecedented pain.

Where... not quite right...

The question was unclear, and what was even more unclear was that the uneasiness in my heart did not disappear because of the appearance of Makishima Seigo, on the contrary, it continued unabated.

How is this going……

Letting go of the man who was almost out of breath from being hugged, Qiao Nian probed in a doubtful tone: "Makishima, where have you been?"

"Ok?"

Tilting his head, Makishima Shenghu raised his hand, shook the convenience bag in his hand, and smiled: "I just went to buy breakfast."

"Come in please come in!"

Wearing loose and bulky silk pajamas, stepping on somewhat ill-fitting cotton slippers, wearing the name of Hasegawa Haru, in fact it is the man Hasegawawa who is inviting a distinguished guest into his home at this time.

As far as the eye can see, it is projected into a classical European-style living room, resplendent and luxurious, accompanied by a matching piano piece and the aroma of lavender.

The man who walked in slowly twitched the corners of his mouth gracefully, with a tolerant smile, as if he was forgiving the owner of the house for his unoriginal layout concept——

Makishima Seigo was at Hasegawawa's home at this time.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to come here. Don't you know that my trick is called inviting you into the urn?"

Turning around and walking back to the living room, Hasegawa Wataru approached Makishima, putting a hand on Makishima's shoulder familiarly.

"Hey, you're really interested in me, aren't you?"

"Ah……"

While laughing, Makishima pushed Hasegawa Shepherd's hand away, put one hand into the coat pocket, and said slowly: "There used to be an idiom, if you can't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's cub..."

"Huh? I'm not such an unlovable large animal! And when you said 'tiger', you mean this?"

The hand reaching down opened a drawer, and quickly pulled out something from it.

When seeing this thing, Makishima's face didn't change at all, and the only reaction was that the pupils deep in the golden pupils contracted, which was not easy to be detected by the naked eye.

This thing is the score of "Double Helix".

"You saved me a lot of effort by taking it out so directly, I'm very grateful!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

Hasegawa Tsubasa waved his hands while saying "You're welcome" in a non-standard Kansai accent, and shook the piano score in his hand a few times, making the sound of paper rubbing against each other.

"Anyway, I'm not the type who likes to beat around the bush. Just like playing baseball, straight balls are the easiest to throw into the strike zone, right?"

"Oh? So what kind of straight ball do you like to throw?"

Sensing the approaching danger, the smile on Makishima's face became vigilant and cruel.

"me……"

Holding the piano score with both hands and stretching his waist, Hasegawa Wataru looked bored.

"I know that the wolf who escaped from the Public Security Bureau wants to kill me. In fact, I am not afraid of death. Really, life should be like fireworks, short and brilliant... If it looks like an old woman's foot wrap , then there will only be a stinky smell left.”

As he spoke, he pinched his nose and pretended to fan the wind.Makishima, on the other hand, is like an audience enjoying a comic drama, watching Hasegawa's performance attentively.

"but……"

The brisk voice suddenly dropped several octaves, Hasegawa Tsubasa is like an actor who can change his face, and puts on a ghost mask in an instant.

"I can't die now, because my goal in life hasn't been achieved yet, I can't now, absolutely can't die! So..."

Pop, pop!

The sudden clapping sounded like a knife, cutting through the music and aroma that whitewashed the room.Immediately afterwards, there were several successive door opening sounds——

From the master bedroom, second bedroom, guest room, kitchen, bathroom... a group of people rushed out at the same time!

Looking around, the men with thick backs and waists covered with tattoos are like three layers of city walls inside and outside——

Makishima in the center is surrounded.

"Why are you so leisurely? Aren't you going to catch Hasegawa Wataru?"

In a safe room less than two tatami mats in size, staring at Makishima who was flipping through the library of "Chun Qin Chao", cunningly confused.

"I... have always wanted to read this book, but I didn't expect to see it here."

"what?"

His eyes were widened by surprise, and even his voice changed slightly.

"You mean, you haven't read the book?"

"Yeah! Because I was too busy before..."

After flipping through it quickly, Makishima Seigo, who inserted the book back into the bookshelf, turned around, and his soft eyes fell on the cunning left wrist.

"Hey, what time is it?"

"...8:20."

"It's almost there..."

"What do you mean?"

"nothing……"

Shrugging his shoulders, Makishima Shenghu put on the coat that he had taken off once, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a place."

Sword eyebrows frowned slightly, Qiao Nian always felt that the Makishima Shrine in front of him was a little different from usual, but he couldn't tell exactly what was different.Exactly the same height, exactly the same face, exactly the same clothes, exactly the same temperament...

So, what is the difference?

"Makishima, what tricks are you playing?"

"It's nothing, don't you want the piano score in Hasegawa Shepherd's hand? Then come with me!"

The methodical voice penetrated into Sly's left ear, and then passed out from the right ear. Just like this, he had the illusion that his brain was pierced by a steel cone.

What the animal's sense of smell smelled was a dangerous smell, and this smell was emanating from the man who had lived with him for nearly a month——Makishima Shenghu.

What's the matter……

The order of going out is completely opposite to the usual one. This time, Makishima Shōgo left first. His long back line looked like a tall and straight tree trunk, standing at the door, only throwing a white side face to the cunning.

My heart was up and down, and I was as calm as a cunning, and I couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat at this moment.

"Aren't you going?"

Makishima Shōgo is asking.Pursing his lips, Qiao Nian took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, his sharp eyes seemed to have absorbed ink, and became even darker.

The darkness, perhaps just because of being too focused on the darkness.

Stepping forward, even knowing that the road ahead to meet him is dangerous and unpredictable, he must follow up, because there must be a key to the truth ahead, waiting to unlock the shackles called doubts in his heart.
