Chapter 636 Amuro Toru (7)
Unpublished, multiple Moments content.
——That was a recording of Hasegawa Mishizuka trying to save herself.
The recordings recorded how Mr. Hase PUA her. The long recordings, put together, spanned a full year.
She tried very hard to save herself, but in the end she was no match for the devil's whispers and was gradually submerged in the darkness.
"——I heard that Hase-sen, bah, that Hase went crazy after being arrested, saying ghost stories every day." Mrs. Matsushita, who ran into Yunci at the intersection, pulled Yunci aside and started gossiping, "He doesn't think this can reduce his crime, does he? Humph, how ridiculous!"
Ever since she found out the truth, Mrs. Matsushita has been displeased whenever she mentions Hase, and would complain about Yun Ci when she saw her knowing the truth.
Mrs. Matsushita finished speaking and her eyes fell on Yun Ci's face: "Miss Yun, you don't look very well. Did you not get enough rest these days?"
Yun Ci forced a smile: "It is a bit hard to sleep."
"You are still young and live alone, so it's normal to be scared when encountering something like this. Otherwise, you should find your friends to stay with you for a few days, or go out and relax."
Yun Ci thanked the enthusiastic Mrs. Matsushita and drove to the recording studio.

"Why didn't Miss Yun come today?" Enomoto Azusa said with some concern, "She comes to eat something at this time every day."
Toru Amuro looked at his watch and found that it was indeed a little late.
Toru Amuro has been very busy these days. Not only does he have to meet with the people from the Black Organization, but he also has to follow Kogoro Mori to solve cases and "learn". He also has a part-time job, so he hasn't been in touch with Yun Ci much.
"Let's wait and see. Maybe it's because of work. Hasn't this happened before?"
There was no danger around Yun Ci, and he rarely contacted Yun Ci in order to avoid the Black Organization from involving innocent people.
It'll be fine for sure.
'Jingle Bell--'
Toru Amuro's phone rang, and the caller was Yun Ci.
"Xiaoci?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Amuro?"
The unfamiliar voice instantly frowned Amuro Toru's brows.
"I am, are you?"
"This is Mihua General Hospital. You are one of the emergency contacts of the owner of this phone. The other emergency contact named 'Brother Jing' did not answer the call, so we need to trouble you to come here. The owner of the phone is currently receiving treatment in our hospital..."
Hospital?
treat?
Amuro Toru turned around abruptly: "Sorry Miss Azusa, can I leave work early today?"
"Huh? Of course, the busiest period has passed, and I can handle it myself from now on." Enomoto Azusa said worriedly, "But you look very anxious, did something happen?"
"Oh, I need to go to the hospital."
Toru Amuro didn't say much. He quickly changed his clothes and took a taxi to the Beika General Hospital.
"——The patient had a minor car accident. Fortunately, it's not serious. She just hit her head slightly." The nurse led the way and said to Amuro Toru, "But she looks like she hasn't had a good rest for a long time. She may sleep for a long time next. When she wakes up, she may feel dizzy and want to vomit——"
The moment the ward door was pushed open, Yun Ci woke up suddenly, looked towards the door with some panic, and met Amuro Toru's gaze.
"Mr. Amuro?"
Yun Ci's voice was full of confusion, and she didn't quite understand why Amuro Toru appeared here.
She sat up and looked around, only to find that she was in a hospital.
Yun Ci covered her head, recalled the previous car accident, and asked quickly: "I didn't hit anyone before, right?"
"Don't worry, Miss Yun, there are no casualties, but your vehicle was hit quite badly and has been towed away."
Yun Ci breathed a sigh of relief: "The car is a small matter, as long as no one is injured."
As she calmed down, she began to feel sleepy. Her eyelids slowly tried to close, and then suddenly opened again.
Toru Amuro realized something, thanked the nurse, and went to the bedside. He pulled the curtain next to the ward to block out the light and sight.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here with you, you can sleep peacefully."
Yun Ci looked at the curtain and gave a not-so-nice smile: "I always feel like someone will suddenly open the curtain and barge in."
"Even if there is, I will protect you." Amuro Toru tucked the quilt in, pulled a stool over and sat next to him, "You can trust my strength."
Yun Ci looked at Amuro Toru, spoke softly, and moved her hand a little out of the quilt.
"Then...can we hold hands?"
"I need a proof that you are with me."
Amuro Toru paused, then put his hand over and said gently, "Go to sleep."
Yun Ci hummed and slowly closed her eyes.
But she would open her eyes from time to time to take a look, until Toru Amuro tightened his hand around hers, she felt as if she had found support, and her breathing gradually became steady.
Zhu Fu Jingguang's call came back at around nine o'clock in the evening.
"Tou? Why are you with Xiaoci? Is it time to congratulate you guys?"
Amuro Toru looked at Yunci's sleeping face and said in a low voice, "Xiaoci is in the hospital."
Zhu Fujingguang's voice suddenly became serious: "What's going on?" Could it be because of him...
"A few days ago, a murder case happened next door to Xiaoci's house. I didn't think much about it and left after solving it. But it was the first time she encountered such a thing... I didn't get a good rest these days, and a small accident happened when I was driving home today."
"I'll be right there." There was a rustling sound of clothes coming from the other end of the receiver. "What's going on?"
"The car accident isn't a big problem, it's just the issue of rest... I don't know if she can adjust."
"Is she asleep now?"
"Even though someone was by my side, I still couldn't sleep well and would wake up from time to time."
"Yes... I'm a bit busy with cases these days, otherwise I would move back to accompany her for a few days." Zhu Fu Jingguang changed the subject, "Toru, you should have time, right?"
"The dangers around me are much greater than yours, Jing." Amuro Toru's eyes were dark.
Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed softly: "Let's talk about it in detail after I go over. Have you had dinner? If not, I'll bring some."
"Then please prepare an extra portion of food for the patient. She can have some porridge when she wakes up."
"Patient meals..." Zhu Fu Jingguang closed the car door again and went back upstairs. "Then I'll make some at home. I guess you can't buy anything else at this time."
Amuro Toru responded, and seeing that Yun Ci's brows were frowned again, as if she was about to wake up, he said goodbye to Zhu Fu Jingguang and hung up the phone.
His gaze moved from Yun Ci's face to their clasped hands.
His expression was no longer as sunny and cheerful as before, but rather expressionless and cold, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking...
