Paine's game

"You are asking the right person when you ask me. Although I was still working as a security guard at Sony Corporation in Tokyo when the accident happened, in fact, there are few people in Aichi Prefecture who know more about the old school building of Dehong High School than me.

Because these things were all told to me by Taro."

The old man paused pretending to be mysterious, probably expecting Paine's praise.

As a result, Paine was very disrespectful. Not only did he not ask questions, but he used his eyes to urge him to continue.

So the old man could only talk on his own.

"When the accident happened at Dehong High School 17 years ago, Taro also wanted to expand his convenience store business, so he contracted the convenience store on the campus of Dehong High School through bidding. Therefore, he was the first to personally experience the incident at Dehong High School.

At that time, Dehong High School was still a relatively popular school in Aichi Prefecture."

The old man's mouth felt a little dry as he spoke, so he opened a bottle of soda and poured two sips into his mouth.

"Don't look at what Dehong High School is like now. It used to be a very famous sports school in Aichi Prefecture. The baseball team has the strength to compete in Koshien. The basketball and judo are also at a level that can compete in national competitions. Come on.

There are so many students who have signed up to study, and even people from other counties are willing to come all the way to study."

"It stands to reason that opening a canteen in such a popular sports school is a business that is sure to make a profit. Middle school students are already growing in size, and Dehong High School is a sports school, and students with sports specialties have a huge appetite. So,

Everyone is a big customer of convenience stores. So Taro had to use his family's financial resources to win the convenience store in Dehong High School. But he never expected that this good business, which seemed to be a sure profit without losing money, would not only make him almost

Not to mention losing everything, I almost lost my life.”

"Lost your life? What kind of explanation is this?"

The old man made a gesture asking for money, and Paine had to hand over a banknote first.

The old man took it and put it in his pocket.

"Because not long after he opened his business, he encountered several unfortunate things in succession. One night, when the students were basically out of school, a boy with some bruises on his face came to his store to buy a rope for skipping. Taro

Of course I sold it to him directly without thinking about it, and guess what happened the next day?"

Paine did not cooperate with the compliment and stared coldly at the old man who seemed to be about to write a book.

The old man felt that he was not interested, so he could only continue talking.

"The next morning, the boy hung himself in front of the classroom, using the rope he bought at the convenience store."

Paine knew in his heart that this should be the first boy to die that he saw in the information.

"Maybe I was bullied, but what does this have to do with the store manager? He wouldn't have thought that the rope would be used to commit suicide."

"If it was just this one thing, then it would be nothing but some bad luck. It's just that Taro encountered another bad luck the next week. A girl who came to his convenience store to buy a ballpoint pen died unexpectedly on the way back to class.

, the cause of death was also very coincidental - she accidentally dropped the ballpoint pen in her coat pocket when she went upstairs, and she slipped on the ballpoint pen again, and hit her head on the sharp corner of the fire door that was not closed tightly.

He just died like that."

The old man smacked his lips and said it was a pity, "I heard from Taro that the girl was still the school beauty at that time. She was young and beautiful, but her death was really unworthy... This way of death is really child's play."
