Chapter 999: Guests at Night
Rice flower street.
Yuya and Miyano Shiho came to the cinema hand in hand, stopped at the door, looked at the colorful posters and chose the movies they wanted to watch.
"It seems like there haven't been any new movies released recently." Youya watched them several times and found that they were all films that had been released for a while, and he was a little disappointed.
At this time, Miyano Shiho pointed to a poster in the corner and said, "That seems to be a new movie?"
Yuya looked over and saw a poster with a big new word written on it, surrounded by lightning patterns, which seemed to attract the audience's attention.
"That's weird. If it's a newly released movie, why is it placed in such a corner?"
The two walked over with doubts, but halfway through, Miyano Shiho's steps became hesitant.
It’s just because the promotional picture on the poster is a little too scary.
No wonder it was put there, it turned out to be a horror movie.
Yuya glanced at the name and lowered his head to read the introduction.
The film is about a group of people who accidentally discover a missed call message on their mobile phone screen.
What’s weird is that this message actually came from a call on his own mobile phone number. What’s even more frightening is that the call time was shown to be 3 days later.
When listening to the messages, I could clearly hear my own voice filled with helplessness and fear.
Does this mean that whoever receives this message three days later will definitely die?
"Well," Miyano Shiho looked to the other side with a lingering look in her eyes, and pointed at a movie casually, "Let's watch that one."
Yuuya looked over and couldn't help laughing: "Didn't we just watch that movie the day before yesterday? You complained to me at that time that it was boring."
"Are you too scared to watch this movie?"
Miyano Shiho's expression was a little stiff, and she stammered, "No, no... I just suddenly don't want to watch it anymore."
Youye smiled and whispered in her ear, "It's okay, I'm here with you. If you don't dare to watch it, you can look at me! Besides, we're not the only ones watching this movie tonight."
"Who wants to look at you!" Miyano Shiho rolled her eyes at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
The way they talked was as if a boyfriend had tricked his timid girlfriend into watching a horror movie, and was planning to do something while taking advantage of the darkness and the scary plot.
They look like a standard couple.
So, the two bought tickets for the nearest show, waited for a while, and entered the theater with Coke and popcorn.
Shortly after the two entered, a man and a woman also arrived at the entrance.
However, the woman's face was full of resistance, and she was forced to go in by her companions.
···
The Kudo family.
Amuro Toru stood at the door with his hands in his pockets, a dangerous smile on his face: "I have something I want to talk to you about, do you mind if I come in and sit down for a while?"
Okiya Subaru, wearing a mask, coughed softly and said, "If you are alone, of course it's no problem, but..."
His eyes fell on the wall of the courtyard gate, where half of a head was visible.
"I'm so sorry, your friends waiting outside, please don't come in. We don't have that many tea sets at home."
Amuro Toru's mouth curled up slightly: "Please don't mind it, they like to wait for me outside. But..."
Amuro Toru slightly turned his head to look behind him and continued, "It depends on how you answer. If you don't answer well, everyone might come to disturb you."
There was a lot of threat in his words.
···
On the highway in the mountains.
Kamal drove the car, staring closely at the road ahead, and asked Judy in the passenger seat: "Are we going to the place where Mr. Akai was killed by those people?"
Judy nodded: "Yes, I feel that as long as we go there, we will definitely find some clues."
When the information that Kusuda Rikumichi committed suicide with a pistol leaked out, Judy keenly caught the flash of nervousness and anxiety on Yuya's face.
She had never seen similar emotions in the young man, even at the Beihu Central Hospital, when they were facing the possible attacking organization at any time.
There must be something wrong! Judy's eyes gradually became firm.
···
The living room of the Kudo family.
Okiya Subaru went to make coffee.
Toru Amuro walked around the living room, looked up and around, and finally sat down on the sofa, waiting quietly.
Soon, Okiya Subaru came back with coffee.
As soon as he saw Okiya Subaru coming back, Amuro Toru asked, "Excuse me, do you like mystery games?"
"Consider it that I like it." Okiya Subaru replied and put the tea on the coffee table.
Amuro Toru said: "Then let's start with a certain story. Well, it's just a simple trick of swapping bodies."
"Oh?" Okiya Subaru narrowed his eyes, showing interest, sat down, and crossed his arms. "This is an indispensable part of suspense and reasoning. Then I'm all ears."
Amuro Toru smiled and said, "A man was shot in the head with a gun in Kurehayama. His body and his car were burned. The fingerprints collected from his right hand, which was barely intact, matched the fingerprints left on a cell phone that the man claimed to have held before his death. This proves the man's identity."
Okiya Subaru nodded slightly, looking like he was listening carefully.
"But, it's strange." Amuro Toru looked closely into Okiya Subaru's eyes.
Okiya Subaru asked in a cooperative manner: "What's strange about that?"
Amuro Toru did not notice the change in the other person's facial expression, so he continued: "The man is left-handed, but the fingerprints left on the phone are from his right hand."
"Don't you think it's strange?"
Okiya Subaru took off his mask, picked up his coffee and took a sip: "Maybe when he wanted to pick up the phone, his left hand was inconvenient, so he picked it up with his right hand?"
Toru Amuro stared at Okiya Subaru's face, but the mask was only half pulled down, so he couldn't see anything.
He picked up a piece of sugar with his right hand, looked at Okiya Subaru and said, "That's because he has a reason to use his right hand." After that, he threw the sugar into the coffee, splashing a small water drop.
Okiya Subaru asked in confusion: "What kind of reason is that?"
Amuro Toru stirred his coffee with a spoon and said, "That's because someone else picked up the phone before that man, and that person was right-handed."
"You said there was someone else?"
"Yes," Amuro Toru raised the cup to his lips, "Actually, the original plan was to let three people take the phone."
Amuro Toru took a sip of coffee and looked at Okiya Subaru with a stern look in his eyes: "Now, I want to ask a question."
Okiya Subaru made a gesture to ask a question.
