Rooftop of Rice Building.

Noriko Okatani held her handbag and looked down expressionlessly at the railing on the edge of the rooftop.

——There are twenty stories high here. When I suddenly looked down, the cars and trees were as small as crawlers.

Although it is not a name for jumping off a building, anyone knows that jumping down from such a high rooftop will be lifeless.

Quietly enjoying a gust of scenery by the railing, Okatani Noriko recalled the things she had been with her fiancé, and finally took a deep breath and slowly took off her shoes.

This is a customary detail.

It means that the person who jumped was voluntarily self-subsisting, not out of forced or murder.

Unfolded the suicide note and finally took a look. Noriko Okatani carefully pressed it under her shoes, then turned over the railing, held the railing handle, and leaned forward.

"Wait, Da Nan...I'll be here to accompany you..."

For Okatani Noriko, a world without fiancé has no color except hatred.

Now that hatred is repaid, there is nothing worth nostalgic about in this world for Okatani Noriko.

Her only and best ending is to die quietly alone.

Thinking in my heart, my hand holding the railing loosened a little bit.

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind—

"The twenty-story building, tsk, it's 70 meters high after all."

"...If you jump down such a tall building, do you think you can still live?"

Unexpectedly, Okatani Noriko almost couldn't help her.

He turned around in surprise. He saw Yu Shirakawa who had just met her, standing quietly a few meters behind her.

"Mr. Detective, do you want to stop me?"

She huh, asking in a position where she was about to jump down at any time.

I have to say that people stand by the eaves of buildings and speak hard.

In Okatani Noriko's look back, Yu Shirakawa shrugged without comment and spread his hands:

"If you are determined to die, I don't think I can stop you."

"...But then again, why are you going to die?" he asked in a sparse tone.

Hearing the sudden question, Noriko Okatani was stunned at first, and then said without hesitation:

"Of course I'm accompanying Da Nan to heaven. The great revenge will be avenged, but the dead will not be resurrected. What's the point of living?"

"Heaven……?"

Yu Shirakawa was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at? Is it funny?" Noriko Okatani frowned.

"Sorry... I just don't believe in heaven..."

Yu Shirakawa stopped laughing, shook his head, and continued to sigh: "It seems that you have decided to leave Miss. Since that's the case, I can rest assured."

After saying that, he ignored Okatani Noriko and turned around and walked into the back of the rooftop door.

"?"

In Okatani Noriko's gaze in confusion.

Perhaps because of his preparation, Shirakawa Yu pushed out a car cabinet from there, and the things placed on it made Okatani Noriko's heart twitch suddenly.

Red, yellow, green...

One pot after another, full of beautiful flowers.

It was Crab Claw, a flowering cactus, and it was the plant her fiancé loved the most during her lifetime.

...But how could the other party know?

Noriko Okatani stood there in a daze.

As Shirakawa Yu pushed the cart and brought a large number of crab claws to her, Okatani Noriko saw it even more surprised-

Not only ordinary crab claws.

This car of crab claws, the variety that her fiancé had previously raised, was exactly the same color.

It is a relic of Da Nan!

How could this guy have Da Nan’s relics?

If you remember correctly, these claws should have been taken away by the doctor who once was in charge of her, Dr. Sahiro, right?

Yu Shirakawa ignored her shocked expression, but narrowed her eyes and asked her with a smile:

"Miss, you should know, what does this car of cactus mean?"

“…”

Noriko Okatani nodded and said nothing.

Seeing these crab claws, she seemed to see Da Nan's gentle smile.

The sound and appearance are still there, and the laughter is still there.

These beautiful flowers are proof of the other party's life.

Noriko Okatani's heart couldn't help but start to shake.

Is it really right to die like this after you?

What can self-satisfaction behavior bring?

She half lowered her head and glanced at the suicide note behind the railing.

Take a deep breath and raise your head.

Just as he was about to say something to Yu Shirakawa, Okatani Noriko saw a scene that broke her heart before she could speak-

Yu Shirakawa casually raised a brightly colored crab claw orchid, held the bottom of the flower pot, and threw it hard towards the rear.

The next second, with a "click", a short broken sound.

The flower pot hit the cement wall of the rooftop and fell to pieces.

All the red and green inside were mixed with soil, sprinkled on the ground in fragments.

——The flowers that just now gave people a warm and beautiful feeling would be like a pile of garbage, split into pieces.

Noriko Okatani was shocked.

She was stunned for a few seconds in disbelief. She came to her senses and stared at the culprit with an almost fire-blowing gaze, Shirakawa Yu.

This guy actually dared to break Da Nan’s important relics!

What is the difference between this and spitting directly at Da Nan’s grave?

The astonishment turned into anger, and the anger soon turned into an even higher anger.

Okatani Noriko was about to ask loudly, but she heard Yu Shirakawa's face with a little mockery and said:

"Miss, it's not okay for you to show this expression."

"...How can people who are about to jump off the building and commit suicide after a while? They care about this plant?"

As he said that, he took out a pot of crab claw orchids from the cabinet and put it in his hand to weigh it, his face full of eagerness to try.

“…?”

What is the logic of robbers?

Noriko Okatani fell into shock again.

This time, she looked at Yu Shirakawa, and there was a little more incomprehensible.

Just like "the sky is so blue, so I have to kill people", this incomprehensible ghost logic...

Just because you die, you can smash the remains of the dead?

Noriko Okatani didn't understand why Yu Shirakawa did this and why he deliberately broke important relics.

A moment of surprise.

In an instant, Okatani Nobuko could no longer help, and flipped over the railing and rushed to the broken crab claws.

Just when she wanted to reach out and pick up the soil.

But when he saw Yu Shirakawa buckle his wrist, he smiled and threw out a pot of crab claw orchids again.

The flower pot rubbed her fingertips and slapped hard on the fragments that had just broken.

In an instant, the number of fragments doubled.

Okatani Noriko's heart seemed to be shattering with the flower pot, and she shouted in anger like a river breaking the dam:

"What are you doing! Bastard! This is too much!"
