Chapter 401 Isn’t the Mermaid Beautiful?
Nobushige unoccupied the disk and placed it back in the box.
He was careful throughout the process, making sure he didn't leave his fingerprints or skin flakes on the disk.
Epcott didn't hear his answer and asked again.
"You can ask Gin for the assessment results after a week, and you should be able to check them on the organization's intranet." Nobuhiro said very fairly, without any good intentions in telling students their results in advance.
At the same time, he also placed the box containing the disk on the coffee table, but this position was different from the position where Epcott threw it before.
As the person in charge of this operation, it was only normal that Mescal would examine the samples individually. And he had tampered with the sample after all. If Epcott had left a trap on the box that he hadn't noticed, she would have become suspicious once she found out that the box had been tampered with by Mezcal but deliberately put it back in its place.
For the next time, Nobushige kept monitoring Shimabukuro Kimie and Kadori Saori in both his left and right ears until Epcot came out of the bathroom.
She noticed at a glance that the sample had changed position, but she was not surprised. Instead, she asked: "You have seen the sample, why is it a disk?"
Nobushige glanced at her. Epcott's cheeks were red due to the heat, but he was a little more angry than usual.
"Your cell phone is over there, you can contact the gentleman yourself."
"Tsk, don't tell me you're not curious."
Epcott turned on the TV and put on a program in which a housewife taught viewers how to make bento.
Nobushige had no interest in this kind of program at all. Even though Kadori Saori's family was cooking now, his ears were filled with the sounds of pots and pans.
Seeing that Mescal was still listening to music, Epcott glanced at her curiously. But that was all her curiosity. The woman seemed too lazy to explore. She leaned on the sofa, only her eyes moving.
After a while, when the housewife put the last piece of stew into the packed lunch box and received exaggerated exclamations from the audience, a rapid ringing sound passed through the earphones and fell into Nobushige's ears. .
Saori Kadori received a call from Shimabukuro Kimie.
Shimabukuro Kimie invited her to worship the mermaid statue at the shrine, and said a lot of things like "from a metaphysical point of view, tonight is the best time."
At this time, Kadori Saori was convinced of the mermaid and was even obsessed with it. She almost agreed the moment Shimabukuro Kimie invited her.
In fact, the reason why Kadori Saori believed in the existence of mermaids was probably to avoid their act of setting fire to kill Mingzhu. Maybe in her heart, Saori Kadori realized that the "mermaid" who was burned to death in the warehouse many years ago was a human being, but she didn't dare to admit it, so she could only continue to paralyze herself and make herself believe in the existence of mermaids and fate.様 will not die. As if this could change the fact that they killed people.
Hearing that Saori Monori had already gone out and walked towards Shimabukuro Kimie's house, Nobushige also put away his computer and said to Epcot who was watching TV with gusto: "I'm going out to buy supper, what do you want me to bring?" Anything for you?"
"It turns out that trout can also be used to make miso soup. I always thought that miso soup could only contain tofu, scallops and the like." Epcot stared at the TV and sighed with great seriousness.
After a long while, she finally realized that someone seemed to have spoken just now, so she looked at Nobuyoshi with an innocent face: "What?"
A string of black lines fell from the back of Nobuhiro's head. He didn't speak anymore, but turned and left the room.
Behind him, Epcott shrugged inexplicably and quickly became immersed in the TV show again.
The hotel was quite far away from Shimabukuro Kime's house, but Kadori Saori was much closer to her.
Not long after Nobushige went out, he saw Saori Kadori's figure on the screen of his mobile phone. It was a miniature camera installed at the door of Shimabukuro June's house. It clearly recorded the young woman's night visit.
"Is Mikoto here?" Saori Kadori's first words when she saw Shimabukuro Kimie were to greet her great-grandmother.
"In the room, she has rested."
Kaori Saori immediately fell silent.
Seeing this, Shimabukuro Kimie laughed: "Don't be so careful. Great-grandmother is old and her ears are not very good. As long as we don't go behind, she won't be able to hear us."
"That's good." Saori Kadori breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and even Nobushige could clearly hear the sound of airflow, "Then let's go and worship the mermaid as soon as possible. Where did Mingzhi put the statue?"
Shimabukuro paused for a moment, then said softly after a moment: "The warehouse, the statue is in the rebuilt warehouse."
Saori Kadori was stunned almost immediately. Her heart was beating hard: "Why, why do you put the statue in that place?"
"What kind of place is that kind of place?" Shimabukuro Kimie murmured to herself. Her voice was very low, so Kadori Saori didn't hear her clearly.
"What?",
"Nothing." Shimabukuro Kime smiled, "My great-grandmother didn't like that statue very much, so she had it put in the warehouse."
"Why doesn't Mingzhi like mermaid statues?" Saori Kadori suddenly raised her head, "Ah, I understand. It must be because Mingzhu has seen a real mermaid, and she thinks that all statues cannot show the true appearance of mermaids. , that’s why I don’t like that statue!”
Kadori Saori became more and more excited as she talked, but Shimabukuro Kimie remained silent for a long time.
When Nobushige arrived at Shimabukuro Kime's house, the two girls had already entered the warehouse.
The wall of Shimabukuro Kime's house was very high, and there was no place to rely on around it. Nobushige took a look at it and quickly gave up on the "unconventional entry method".
He took out the tool from his pocket and pried open the door of Shimabukuro Kime's house in less than a minute.
Nobuyoshi is very skilled in picking locks and can even do it without leaving any traces.
After opening the door, he walked straight towards the warehouse.
Kaori Saori had just finished worshiping the mermaid statue.
Shimabukuro Kimie stared at the back of her head and suddenly asked quietly: "Aren't mermaids beautiful?"
"What?" Kadori Saori was stunned, "I've never seen a mermaid, how do I know?"
"You've seen her." Shimabukuro Kime laughed softly.
The dull expression on Kadori Saori's face gradually turned to panic amidst this weird laughter!
Shimabukuro Kimie knelt down and looked directly into Saori Kadori's eyes: "When you set fire to the mermaid, did you hear her desperate screams? That scene must be beautiful, right? What's more, the mermaid was reborn from the ashes in the end. .”
"W-what are you talking about? I don't understand..." Saori Kaori's legs went weak, and she fell to the ground, trembling and hiding behind her.
But how could Shimabukuro Kimie let her escape successfully?
She grabbed Saori Menari's arm, her eyes wide open: "Don't act stupid, you were the ones who started that fire!!"
