Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 312 Empathy
  After lunch, Fujiwara chatted with the three of them in the cafe for a while. The topics of conversation were all about sports suitable for winter, and they all cleverly avoided the cat-eye topics.

In the next life, she stared blankly at the white snow outside the window, feeling an infinite chill in her heart that seemed to flow from her body, slowly suppressing her heart, and then it became difficult to breathe.
  She had obviously drank a lot of water just now, but now she felt very thirsty, as if everything was beyond her knowledge.

(It’s so strange, why is this happening? Why is this happening? Why is there a snowy scene outside the window? Is it my imagination?)
  Although she had noticed that the calendar was torn apart a bit too quickly before, it was definitely not this mysterious.

She didn't believe in evil, so she got up and went to take a look outside the house.

"Where are you going, Xiaotong?"

First of all, he noticed his sister's strange tears in the next life and asked anxiously.

Afterlife Hitomi didn't answer, and walked out of the door with only a short sleeve and bare feet. The snowy scene in front of him, and the tingling sensation from his feet further confirmed this fact.

"How could this happen? How could it happen all of a sudden?" As she said this, she took a few steps forward, stopped at the edge of the road, and was put on her coat by Lai Shengli who came over.

The next life, with rare tears, asked, "What should you do if you catch a cold like this?"

Afterlife Hitomi turned around and responded with a slight cry, "I'm sorry, I really am."

Seeing that Xiaotong was about to cry, After Life Tears understood the problem, "Did that situation happen again?"

"Well, I actually don't remember how we got here in winter. We all went to see the cherry blossoms together yesterday."

Xiao Ai, who had come down from the inquiry, was also looking at the two people at the door, her eyes full of helplessness.

Fujiwara sympathizes with Hitomi Afterlife. After all, for non-travelling aboriginals, the abnormal change in time is shocking enough. Now even the seasons have become abnormal, so it’s okay if they don’t have a psychological breakdown. And Fujiwara is also troubled by this matter, but he doesn't want to say it out, so no one thinks he is 'sick'. I am afraid that he is the only one in this world who can empathize with the afterlife, but Fujiwara has long looked away.

Everyone fell into silence when they returned to the room. Xiao Ai and Laisheng Lei gathered around Xiaotong, holding her hands and body to comfort her. However, Fujiwara, who was the only male present, was a little at a loss.

After recovering, Hitomi realized that she had seriously lost her composure. She wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I've been too tired recently, and I've become a little strange again. I'm sorry for making everyone worry."

"You are indeed a little tired. Let's take a bath together tonight."

"Okay, okay." Afterlife Aiya agreed, "We haven't taken a bath together for a long time. I miss this feeling so much."

Seeing that the topic had deviated, Fujiwara coughed twice and prepared to leave. It would be inappropriate to stay any longer.

"I'm leaving first. Don't be too tired, Xiao Tong. If you have anything, you can come to me and I will definitely help."

I'm afraid no one will believe me if I directly say that I also have this problem, so the best thing to do is wait until I have the opportunity to talk about it alone in the future.

"I'll see you off."

On the way back, Fujiwara kept thinking about what happened at noon.

Some things can never be further confirmed without verification. It is useless to just stay in the preconception stage and think wildly. It is not only nerve-wracking but also heart-wrenching and makes you feel uncomfortable. Fujiwara was a little curious about whether the Maoyan Cafe was related to the Maoyan group of phantom thieves. In fact, according to simple logic, Maoyan has been stealing Heinz's paintings. In the next life, the three sisters have more or less expressed their appreciation for Heinz, especially once when Xiao Ai talked about them. It was revealed in the past that they had also been looking for their father. At first, Fujiwara thought it might be because of her missing father, but now after checking, Michael Hinds was in a state of missing contact. After learning these clues, Fujiwara Hoshikai immediately did what he did. One judgment is that the sisters in the next life may be Heinz's daughters.
  As for the motive of their search, it should be similar to Kuroba Kaito's, using stealing to lure out the group of people who caused their father's disappearance, or for other reasons. Although Fujiwara has mentioned cat eyes before, the sisters in the afterlife did not show any obvious nervousness or disgust before, but looking back now, I still feel that they have slightly avoided relevant discussions at certain moments.

To be precise, there is a 60% chance that the sisters in the next life will be Maoyan, and the rest need further confirmation.

Of course, these are all he can imagine at the moment, and Fujiwara doesn't quite believe in the correctness of this idea. There would be such a coincidence.

Fujiwara pondered this possibility, and when he returned home, he decided to further investigate the relationship between the sisters and the cat's eye in the afterlife. He turned on his computer and began searching for relevant clues and intelligence.

Fujiwara thumbed through Heinz's writings, news reports, and cat-eye-related events. He noticed that when Maoyan carried out thefts, they always seemed to choose precious works of art that were related to Heinz. This caught Fujiwara's attention, and he began to sort out the information, trying to find more common ground.

By the time he finished all this, it was already close to 9: pm. Fujiwara Hoshikai also turned off his computer and lay on the bed, thinking back to his original confrontation with Maoyan. In fact, in addition to the reminders being somewhat similar, the voices were also somewhat similar. , but Fujiwara didn’t have time to listen carefully because he was fighting.

"Dip zero zero!"

The sudden ringing of the phone made Fujiwara a little irritated. He thought he could get rid of it, but the phone rang for twenty seconds without listening.

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have installed a phone in the bedroom."

Not only did I not use it much, but I also used my mobile phone to make phone calls. The landline phone then became an annoying decoration.

"Hello, I'm Fujiwara, please speak."

"Fujiwara-kun, it's me Kazuma Ueki."

Fujiwara didn't remember who this person was for a moment, but since he was able to hit his home, he must be someone he had contacted before but had no impression of.

"Mr. Ueki, I almost didn't recognize your voice when I heard it. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"That's right. We haven't seen each other for a while. We haven't seen each other since the movie was confirmed to be over."

After being reminded like this, Fujiwara instantly remembered the identity of this person. Director Ueki was the young director responsible for the live-action version of Death Note.

Fujiwara had a hunch that the other party might want to talk to him about the movie's box office. After all, the movie was about to be released. As a person who switched from TV dramas to join the film industry, this was his film debut.

"My mentor Mr. Terao invited several young talents to visit Mr. Akira Sakemaki's studio to visit and learn. I thought of Mr. Fujiwara who is also interested in movies."

Akira Sakemaki is a well-known director who has won many awards in the world of film. His fame has not diminished at all after his death. Fujiwara often sees columns about this person.

"I also respect director Sakemaki, and I still miss that rainbow-colored handkerchief."
