Chapter 87
The Cyan Curse 2
"Oh, it's Ryuui and Tomoyo, welcome."
When Daterui followed the steps of Kinomoto Sakura and Daidaiji Tomoyo, Kinomoto Fujitaka had already gone home and was in the kitchen preparing dinner.
He also smiled and said hello after seeing Idarui and Daidoji Tomoyo.
"Good evening, uncle." Daterui and Daidoji Tomoyo said in unison, "Excuse me."
After the three of them greeted Kinomoto Fujitaka, before heading to the living room, Kinomoto Fujitaka stopped them. Kinomoto Sakura in front of the two of them said: "Sakura, I have prepared the ingredients for making waffles. I will work hard on you later."
After hearing this, Kinomoto Sakura shook her head and said: "Okay dad, it won't be hard." "
Then she, Liu Yi and Tomoyo came to the living room, and while letting them wait, they went to the kitchen to get busy.
Daterui heard Kinomoto Sakura say: "Wait a moment, it will be quick."
Although Daterui and Daidoji Tomoyo were also ready to help, it was not until Kinomoto Toya and Tsukijo Yukito came to dinner that they After returning from the past, Kinomoto's house became even more lively.
Just after dinner at the Kinomoto family, and before Idarui packed up her things, Tsukijo Yukito was the first to notice the fire in the neighbor's house next door.
"..."
Yue Cheng Snow Rabbit was still looking at the next door. He was not sure what was happening in the room opposite, until he was sure that it was the fire and smoke. Yue Cheng Snow Rabbit pointed in that direction with a panicked expression. He stood up and told everyone in the living room: "Uncle, Toya, something happened over there."
Just because of Yukijo Yukito's words, their attention turned to the next room, which was Ueno Jasmine's home.
In less than a second, Kinomoto Fujitaka took the two of them to put out the fire next door. During this period, they also asked Sakura and the three of them to call the police immediately.
None of them knew why there was a fire next door and whether Ueno Jasmine had gone home. If the other party didn't go home at this time, how could there be a fire?
Idarui, who learned the news, was just as surprised and confused as they were when they saw the fire next door.
After calling the police, she followed Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidoji to the door of Kinomoto's house. They could directly see the house that was almost burned by the fire. Even if Fujitaka Kinomoto and the others extinguished it temporarily with water, they could not control the fire.
"Auntie..." Idarui whispered. She was not sure whether Ueno Jasmine was at home now. If not, it would be fine. At least she could ensure her safety.
Although Ueno Jasmine didn't like her, she adopted her for a year, so that she wouldn't live on the street.
Suddenly Daterui seemed to have thought of something. She hoped to temporarily borrow Kinomoto Sakura's phone number to contact Nomoli.
In this way, she could be sure of Ueno Jasmine's safety.
Of course Kinomoto Sakura was very happy, but after Idarui borrowed her home phone, Ueno Jasmine didn't answer her call.
Idarui called the phone number from memory, but Ueno Jasmine's phone was always busy, which made Idarui secretly complain.
Kinomoto Sakura and Daidaiji Tomoyo comforted Idarui after seeing her lost look.
It took them some time to extinguish the fire until police and fire crews arrived. At this time, some neighbors had gathered around, and they were whispering about the fire at Ueno Jasmine's house.
The police have set up a cordon, and the police officers are also coming in and out because they need to investigate. Kinomoto Fujitaka and the others are taking notes in front of the police, while Ida Rui is looking at the situation inside worriedly.
Suddenly, in a corner where no one was paying attention. An unknown creature was standing on the wall, and Idarui saw a creature that looked like a rabbit looking directly at him.
That [rabbit] looked very much like the doll that disappeared before.
Idarui asked Daidaiji Tomoyo and the others beside him, but the other party said that they did not see any rabbits or other creatures in that place.
Not to mention how [Rabbit] could run so high.
After listening to what the two said, Idarui rubbed her eyes, thinking that she had seen it wrong. But she looked up and saw that the rabbit was still there, but the next second it ran behind the wall and disappeared.
Idarui felt that he was hallucinating. Even if the rabbit was a doll, how could it move?
"Rui-chan, are you okay?" Kinomoto Sakura asked when she noticed Date Rui's condition. She was worried that the other party's mood would be worse because of Ueno Jasmine's incident.
Idarui shook her head and did not answer. She also said in her head that she was fine.
After the fire, Kinomoto Sakura was also worried about Idarui's future, and the expressions of the two of them were also visible to others, especially Daidaiji Tomoyo and Kinomoto Momoya who had just finished writing the transcript.
During this period, Idaliui saw the police officers bringing evidence to the leader. Only then did she have the opportunity to see the appearance of those people clearly.
"..."
Idarui was surprised. The police officers leading them had appeared in her dream. Although she was not impressed, she always felt that this was not a coincidence.
But judging from the situation of Kuroko Tetsuya and others today, there is no situation where they know Ogiwara Shigehiro.
She couldn't tell the difference for a moment.
What followed was bad news for Idarui.
"Officer Megure, we found a body from the house. After testing, the victim is the owner of this house, Ueno Jasmine." The police officer's words were heard by everyone present.
Sakura Kinomoto was the first to say in disbelief: "Huh?! It can't be possible..."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Idarui next to her, who was also stunned when she heard the news. Darui did not expect such a thing to happen, and as an adult, Fujitaka Kinomoto asked the police: "Police officer, may I ask the cause of the fire in the house...?"
This is what Officer Megure and others need to understand. source of fire.
"Ah, it was because the electrical equipment was in disrepair and had poor insulation, causing a short circuit in the wires, which caused the fire." The police officer said after getting a nod from the Megure officer, and then he said what he thought The strange thing is, "But the source of the fire was in the kitchen at first, but the place where Ueno Jasmine died was in the bedroom. We found no signs of struggle or resistance on her part. The last place she died was on the bed, but Ueno Jasmine died." There was no sleeping pills in his body. "
That's strange. Could it be a premeditated suicide?" Officer Memu was puzzled. The police officers beside him said this, but they later dismissed the idea. .
As usual, Daterui was also questioned, but because she was a child, and Daterui and Kinomoto Sakura were staying at Kinomoto's house at the time of the crime, the suspects involved would naturally not go there. They think about it.
This time, Idarui also met Takagi Wataru, who was suspected to be his father's colleague during his lifetime.
Although Idarui said she couldn't remember clearly.
Various clues from the incident indicated that Ueno Jasmine's death was suicide, but Daterui did not believe it. Unbeknownst to Daterui, Conan Edogawa, who had become young, also found it strange when he learned of the case. .
The onlookers at the scene had left one after another, leaving only Idarui and the Kinomoto family, as well as those from the police who stayed behind.
"But what will Ryuui-chan do next?"
Ueno Jasmine's death led to the issue of Daterui's stay, which worried Kinomoto Sakura and Daidaiji Tomoyo, who were already friends with her, but it was obvious that Daterui also It's impossible to stay here alone.
The only way is to stay in the orphanage.
Because he knew Idarui and her parents, this matter was left to Takagi Wataru to handle. However, Idarui's opinion had to be sought, after all, it was related to her future.
Takagi Wataru considered that Daterui had been in contact with Ueno Jasmine for nearly a year, and now that this happened again, frequent changes of places might cause a psychological burden on her, so Takagi Wataru thought about it over and over again. I was thinking about how to mention this to Idarui.
He knew that there was a reliable orphanage near Tomoeda Town, and the accommodation problem could be solved. As for whether Idarui wanted to change schools or something like that...
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Police Officer." Idarui clenched his fists tightly. Finally, after thinking about it for a while, he looked at Takagi Wataru, whose expression changed as he half-crouched in front of him, and said. "I listen to you, Mr. Police Officer... you are a good person..."
Idarui didn't know what he could do, and the fire in Ueno Jasmine's house and Ueno Jasmine's death were indeed beyond his imagination, even The real reason cannot be found by myself.
The police officers she could rely on concluded that Ueno Jasmine committed suicide.
Suicide?
Idarui was dubious, but she also had mixed feelings because Ueno Jasmine's departure in the morning did not seem like she would commit suicide today.
And why was it suicide...
Her thoughts were a little confused. Idarui looked at the houses that had been burned to ashes and sighed one last time.
Idarui felt that he was causing trouble again.
It was impossible to contact the people at the orphanage immediately tonight. Just when Takagi Wataru asked Idarui for his opinion again, Kinomoto Sakura, who had finished talking to the adults, came to the two of them and said nervously: " Mr. Police Officer, Ryuichi-chan, if you can... Ryuichi-chan can stay at my house for one night."
Kinomoto Sakura also had worries on her face. It happened too suddenly, and they might not be able to help with anything else. Although they were busy because of Ueno Jasmine's strange temper, they had been in contact with Idarui for a long time, so it was not a troublesome thing to let the other party stay temporarily for one night.
They were also afraid that the other party would take care of him. Kinomoto Fujitaka stood behind Sakura and said with a smile: "Although it may not be of much help in other ways, it will be okay for this child to temporarily live in our house until a solution is found."
