Become a legend in Hong Kong

Chapter 423 Dark under the lamp

In the suburbs of Tokyo, narrow alleys extend from intersections, twisting and pointing into the distance.

Green trees and bamboos emerge from the walls on both sides of the courtyard. Birds and insects chirp melodiously. Between the pleasing greenery, there are independent houses with obvious Japanese style.

Liao Wenjie and Nogami Saeko came on foot, and the car stopped at the intersection. The latter stopped in front of a residence with a file bag in his hand.

Inside the half-human-high wooden door, you can see the lush courtyard and the retro-elegant house. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the gloomy ghosts.

Nogami Saeko looked through the files and glanced at the blank note in front of the door: "That's right, this is the Saeki House you are looking for."

The so-called nameplates are signs with names written on the walls of every house. They are a product of the neon residential culture and can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Tracing back to its origins, in the Taisho era when the neon postal industry gradually developed, the XO address of XX-chome OO No. 00001 could not necessarily refer to a certain household. There might be several households using the same address, which caused inconvenience in delivering mails. Start putting your last name on the door.

They looked handsome and had a sense of pride in declaring their territory. The culture of expression soon flourished. Later, due to the leakage of personal information, more and more people abandoned the Zhazha culture.

But in this residential area, the house number is indispensable. A blank sign indicates that no one is staying in the house.

"Three years ago, a murder occurred in the Saeki family. Her husband Takeo Saeki killed his wife Kayako Saeki in an extremely cruel way. Their son Toshio Saeki disappeared..." Saeko Nogami told about a strange murder case.

Takeo Saeki not only killed his wife Kayako, but also killed his son's elementary school teacher Shunsuke Kobayashi's eight-month-pregnant wife. He even cut out the unborn baby and broke it into pieces.

Here comes the weird part. Takeo Saeki left the scene of the murder and was killed with a kitchen knife. The fingerprints on the murder weapon were Kayako.

Shunsuke Kobayashi died in the Saeki house, the cause of death is unknown.

For a moment, the police officer handling the case was confused. Who killed whom and which was the correct order of death? No one knew how to solve this problem.

In the next three years, the Saeki family rented out several times, but all ended in inexplicable murders and disappearances.

Liao Wenjie nodded. He roughly understood the situation, but some details were omitted because he was collecting information with his eyes closed at the time.

But it doesn’t matter, just ask the mother and son living inside and it will become clear...

If they can still communicate.

"Dudu! Dududu——"

Just when Liao Wenjie raised his hand to push open the unruly wooden door, the phone in his arms suddenly rang. He was stunned on the spot, thinking that Kayako had added a midnight ring service package.

There is one thing to say, that is, he, anyone else would definitely not be able to handle it.

"Moxi Moxi, why are you calling me suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

"..."

Nogami Saeko raised her ears, wanting to hear who was on the other side of the phone. If she was crying in the next life, she wouldn't mind making a few noises to create the misunderstanding that she and Liao Wenjie were running in the bedroom.

But no, the voice on the other side of the phone seemed to be that of a child.

The caller was Conan, who was kidnapped by Lupine III and his gang. He took the thief's boat back to Tokyo, avoiding the death penalty of being found out by the customs.

In the past, Conan couldn't reveal his identity, and now he can't even do so. Because of Liao Wenjie's highly targeted smear campaign, "Kudo Shinichi" was rolled over by Mizui and Mine Fujiko, and was put on the blacklist of Mao Lilan who was torn into pieces.

What's worse is that on the pirate ship returning to Tokyo, Fujiko Mine did some unspeakable things to him on the pretext of checking his body, but in fact he was exploring the secrets of large and small changes everywhere.

After he was done, he praised him as a delicate and lovely boy.

Childhood shadow +1, about the size of a football field.

Conan wanted to die. As soon as he returned to Tokyo, he took the initiative to contact Liao Wenjie and asked where he was, what he was doing, and whether he was in Europe.

Conan is 100% sure that the mysterious man pretending to be Count Kilard is Liao Wenjie. Reasoning is reasoning, and evidence is evidence. These are two different things. If he wants to reshape the character of a devoted virgin, Liao Wenjie must take the initiative to admit it and change his face in front of Mao Lilan.

It was very difficult and there was almost no possibility of success, but when he thought of the furious Mao Lilan, Conan felt that he could still save something.

"That's right, of course it's Tokyo... let's have a love affair with a pretty girl. Otherwise, how about protecting world peace?" Liao Wenjie snorted lightly. He bet that Conan must have started recording.

Damn it, Conan underestimated him.

A master of time management, a dedicated and good man in the eyes of the wings. He can teleport with ease with one hand. He can give you as many alibi as you need. If you want to catch him with evidence of cheating, just dream!

"Yes, it's quite leisurely, but you can't blame me. I also want to work a nine-to-five job, but the conditions don't allow it!"

Liao Wenjie sighed. He was handsome and relied on hard work to make a living. Both Hong Kong Island and Neon had a rich woman who loved him to the point of death and was willing to give away all his wealth. How could he be an office worker with such strength?

He agrees, but neither do the rich women!

Also, when he first traveled through time, he really liked money, and his life goals were ‘a hut, an acre of land, and a savings of 100 million’. Later, when I embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, my horizons broadened and my spiritual realm sublimated. I became sworn to be inseparable from gambling and drugs, and small money was synonymous with the floating clouds in the sky, which was unattractive at all.

Now he can say responsibly that he is not interested in money.

On the other side of the phone, Conan was asking for trouble. His face was confused by Versailles' quotations, and he ended the call angrily, insisting that the matter was not over yet.

Liao Wenjie shook his head and put away his phone. The scheming boy said harsh words and made it clear that he planned to use his head to attack his fist. The wolf had great ambitions and he would let Conan succeed no matter what.

"You're such a brat. I thought it was your girlfriend who came to check on you."

Saeko Nogami teased, raised her eyebrows and said, "Who is that child? From your tone, it seems like they are friends. I can't tell that you quite like children."

"That's right. If I don't like children, can I have several children with you in the future?" Liao Wenjie asked back, ignoring Saeko Nogami who was stunned on the spot, pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard.

Nogami Saeko rolled her eyes and followed Liao Wenjie. Even though she knew it was a lie, she was still very curious about those children.

On the one hand, I like children very much, especially cute children. On the other hand, out of hostility towards tears in the next life, if she does not have tears in the next life, she will be twice as happy just thinking about it.

But having said that, every time she was alone with Liao Wenjie, she would subconsciously distance herself a little, trying to get the other person to take the initiative.

It's very contradictory.

"Zezi, why are you following me?"

Liao Wenjie stopped suddenly, held Nogami Saeko's shoulders, and pushed her out the door.

"Well, wouldn't it be safer with you?"

"That's true, but it's just like Yamamura Sadako last time. This house is cursed, and the picture is very unfriendly to people who are afraid of ghosts."

Liao Wenjie shrugged: "If I guess correctly, after the murder tape incident ended, you had to turn on the light for several nights in a row to fall asleep."

"Yes, I had nightmares for a few days..."

Saeko Nogami rested her hand on her forehead and lived alone. She felt like there was something under the bed every night. For this reason, she moved back to her hometown. Her father complained about blind dates and boyfriends, and her ears were almost calloused.

I couldn't bear it anymore and would rather have nightmares than listen to my father's nagging, so I moved back to my single apartment.

"Then don't force it. Why bother making trouble for yourself? Just stay here and don't move. I'll be out soon."

"No, I still want to go in and have a look. I believe in your strength. With you here, I will not be in danger."

Nogami Saeko insisted that when fear itself is not scary, the source of fear is her own heart. She does not want to be bound by the fear in her heart, which is inconsistent with her consistent beliefs.

"Okay, remember to cover your mouth the whole time. To be honest, I'm more afraid of you scaring me than ghosts." Liao Wenjie nodded and walked into Saeki's house side by side with Nogami Saeko.

Ten minutes later, a sharp cat meow rang out from the wooden mansion, and the black ghostly mist lingering in the air dissipated.

A group of reasonable ghosts, Liao Wenjie recited a few divine spells to purify the heaven and earth, and they burst into tears, weeping with joy, and left with a smile.

The door opened, and Liao Wenjie walked out with Saeko Nogami's arms around her slim and firm waist. The latter looked slightly ugly, and her steps were a little light and ethereal.

"My legs are weak now. Can I still drive later?"

Liao Wenjie picked up Saeko Nogami, touched the throwing knife beside her thigh, and couldn't help but complain: "The first time I saw you playing with a knife, I wanted to ask, wouldn't such a sharp knife accidentally injure yourself?"

"I also want to ask, why did your hand touch this position when the princess hugged her?"

"That's a good question. I happen to know the answer. You're asking the right person."

Liao Wenjie started to popularize science with a serious face: "According to research, hands have their own independent will. You do it, I do it, everyone does it. If you pay attention, you will find that there are often times when you can't control your hands."

"Haha, can you control it now?"

"Some are trying and some are taking care of it."

Because Saeko Nogami's feet were soft, she was waiting for the car to return from the suburbs and encountered traffic jams on her way to and from get off work. It was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"The difference between the Saeki family curse and the murder tape is..."

Along the way, Liao Wenjie told about the curse of Kayako: "The curse comes from Kayako's deep resentment. People who die after being exposed to this curse will give birth to a new curse. The resentment is absorbed by Kayako, and the curse is like a snowball. It’s getting bigger and bigger.”

"As for Kayako's anger, he is also a pitiful person. Chu Renmei, you remember, she is the female ghost with long hair and wearing a blue costume. Kayako's situation is similar to her, because society and wrong The tragedy caused by Fu Husband..."

"As for the black cat and the all-white evil boy Junxiong, one of them is Kayako's pet and the other is her son. They are responsible for attracting new victims to her, so when you enter the door, you will see There was a child squatting at his feet, and his quacking sound was calling for Kaya..."

"That's it!"

Nogami Saeko raised her hand to call for a stop. She looked up and looked out the window. Seeing the dark windows of the floor where she lived alone, she glanced at Liao Wenjie angrily: "You win, I don't have the guts to go up alone."

"Zezi, I don't understand what you are talking about. What does it mean that I won?"

Liao Wenjie looked innocent, as if he deliberately evoked horrific memories in order to take advantage of others.

"Stop pretending. If you don't go up, I'll spend the night at my father's house tonight."

"Forget it, he's going to nag you about your blind date as soon as we meet, so it's better for me to do the hard work." Liao Wenjie decisively opened the door and got out of the car, followed Nogami Saeko into her apartment.

The second time I visited, the fragrant breeze was still there, making my nose itchy.

"You sleep on the sofa tonight. I know the door is just a decoration for you, so you are not allowed to sneak into the bedroom in the middle of the night, let alone scare me on purpose."

"Zezi, it's my turn to say this. Don't get into my bed in the middle of the night under the pretext of being afraid of ghosts. I'm very weak-willed. If you don't believe me, try it. Once you get in, I'll obey immediately."

Liao Wenjie's face was full of defensiveness. Boys should learn to protect themselves when they go out. The current situation is the best example.

He and Nogami Saeko, one is not nitpicking, the other is not a sure thing. They are both single, and Nogami Saeko took the initiative to invite him to stay overnight. It was rumored that it was calm tonight, and Nogami Saeko did not do anything to him under the dark light. It is estimated that No one will believe it.

From a subjective perspective, Liao Wenjie doesn’t believe it anyway.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Nogami Saeko walked out of the shower room wearing a bathrobe and a headscarf. When she saw Liao Wenjie sitting on the sofa, concentrating on watching TV, she secretly despised him. She took out two glasses of ice water from the kitchen and handed him one.

Liao Wenjie held the ice water in his hand, hesitated for a moment, exchanged a glass with Saeko Nogami, and then drank it in one gulp.

"Stop being so pretty. You're not handsome enough to make people commit crimes, at least not here."

Saeko Nogami took a sip of ice water. Yes, she added ingredients, effervescent tablets to aid sleep, and she had this cup in her hand.

She knew all about Liao Wenjie's tactics, so as to prevent him from playing the victim when the incident happened. The scumbag did not take the initiative or refuse the whole process, and it was the woman who made the first move to kill someone.

In the same way, as long as she doesn't take the initiative, the scumbag will just stare at her tonight.

I get very angry just thinking about it, she is so beautiful, what can happen if a scumbag breaks his vow once!

The effect of the medicine came quickly. Nogami Saeko sat back on the sofa and fell into Liao Wenjie's arms. Her eyelids gradually became heavy. The last scene she saw before falling asleep was Liao Wenjie picking up the glass of water with the effervescent tablets and slowly drinking it.

Nogami Saeko: "..."

It’s incredible that such an operation exists?

A middle finger containing contempt was handed over to her, her arms drooped, and she fell into a drowsy sleep.

"I overestimated you. The female vixen of the Metropolitan Police Department is nothing more than that. I still expect you to have some advanced operations."

Liao Wenjie shook his head, picked up Saeko Nogami and put her on the bed in the bedroom. When he was about to turn around and leave, he fell down next to Saeko Nogami with an oops.

No, I'm too dizzy.

Before falling asleep, his hand with his own will took Nogami Saeko into his arms and covered her with a quilt.

He didn't become an instant hit, he was knocked down by the female fox with effervescent tablets one night, until dawn...

"Nothing better than a beast, get out!"
