Chapter 356 Twelve-year-old tape

The day of the funeral was three days later.

Hinata Riki finished a cleaning task before standing on the roadside to give Miyano Akimiya instructions to "depart" them.

He took a taxi to the funeral.

The sparse little snowflakes were finally not floating in the sky, and it started to rain heavily. The taxi radio was driving and the driver was listening to a funny variety show.

The host and guest of the variety show were chatting about the "Tokyo Fireworks" a few days ago in a very exaggerated tone. A man said seriously that he was taking a shower when the explosion occurred. He thought it was an earthquake, and rushed out with bubbles on his head. If his wife hadn't been holding him urgently, he might have been in the police station today.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of hilarious voices broke out from the radio station.

The taxi driver couldn't help laughing.

Hinata, who was looking outside the window, glanced at the driver, then continued to look out the window, observing the rain hitting the glass car window and the street outside.

The driver seemed to take this look as a signal and immediately spoke tentatively, "It's very funny, right?"

"I heard that many people didn't take it seriously when the news was introduced before, and there were quite a lot of funny things, hahaha," he laughed a few times, and seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the car had eased a little, and then asked tentatively, "What you are going to is the villa area, why, it's..."

He lowered his voice and carefully investigated, "There is a murder?"

Hinata Riki turned his head to look at the driver.

The question is, why did the taxi driver mysteriously ask him, "Is there a murder in the destination?"

Answer 1: The taxi driver is a lunatic and will suddenly ask every guest, "Yeah, how to go to xx, is there a murder case?"

Answer 2: The taxi driver thinks he is a detective, and naturally thinks that a detective is traveling in formal wear to solve the case.

The taxi driver's face is very clean and there is no sign of being beaten by a customer for many years. It is most likely that the second answer will be the second answer.

...How did you recognize this?!

Hinata looked at herself in the rearview mirror, unable to understand why she went to New York for half a year and returned to Tokyo again, there was still someone who could recognize her.

And he is not a police officer, he is a taxi driver.

He has never taken a taxi before, so he can rule out the possibility of "doing something unusual during a taxi ride, which impressed the driver and recognizing him at a glance".

After a brief silence, Hinata Hiroshi replied perfunctorily, "It's not a murder, it's a funeral."

"Oh, funeral!" After receiving the response, the taxi driver immediately became excited. He looked at Hinata's reasonable expression and tried to inquire without a trace. "It was the poor guy who helped the poor guy break the murder a few days ago, so did the family of the deceased invite you to the funeral?"

He sighed, "You are such an amazing detective!"

What is this guy talking about?

Hinata responded reasonably and simply, "No."

He raised his cell phone tactically and called Akimi Miyano?

The opposite side quickly connected, and Miyano Akimi's gentle voice came down the microphone, "Hey, Lily?"

Before she knew it, she naturally changed the 'Heli Jun' to 'Lily'. Hyuga had no requirements for the symmetrical symmetry, and he responded, "Well, I'm here."

Then he remained silent.

The other party's quiet breathing came from the other side, the sound of vehicles moving, the sound of rain hitting the windows and the sound of wipers sweeping back and forth.

The silence lasted for about two or three seconds, and Miyano Akimi asked tentatively, "Is there anything wrong, Lily?"

She guessed, “There is a change in the mission?”

"No," Hinata Riki made a serious expression of listening to the phone, and isolated the taxi driver who looked at him frequently, "No change."

"Huh?" Miyano Akimi listened to the radio variety show on his side, thought for a while, and asked again, "Are you in a taxi? Where are you now?"

"Yes, I'm in a taxi now," Hinata Heiri looked out the window again. He judged the current location and the destination. "It's about twenty minutes left to reach the destination."

The opposite side was quiet for a few seconds, and it was probably counting the distance.

Miyano Akimi said: "It will take me about half an hour, and you may need to wait for me at your destination first."

She added, "It's still raining now, so don't wait for me on the road. Just get off the bus at the door, and someone will recognize you."

‘Someone will recognize you’.

Hinata Reasonable: "."

"Since it's not a change in the mission," Miyano Akimi thought for a while and slowed down his voice, "It's the driver who talks to you, don't you want to talk to him?"

"Or there are other passengers in the car talking to you, and you don't want to pay attention?"

Very sharp.

If Miyano Akimi went to be a detective one day, Hinata would not feel too surprised. The only surprise was not "She could actually be a detective?", but "She actually became a detective?"

He admitted, “Yes, the former.”

"That's it..." Miyano Akimi listened to the radio station again and guessed, "It's about the live broadcast of 'Tokyo Fireworks'. The driver recognized you, and thought 'Tokyo Fireworks' was unusual, so he asked you about 'the truth'?"

When she said 'The driver recognized you', she used a statement, and when she said the next few sentences, she used a question sentence to indicate that she was guessing.

Hinata Riki once again admitted, "Yes."

"So I called you," he thought for a while and said, "You're driving, forget it, I..."

"It's okay," Miyano Akimi said, and she paused for a moment, and then said, "By the way, I was still trying to give it to you just now."

"I found another tape."

She explained deliberately, "After learning that I was going to attend the funeral, I went to search for some miscellaneous items to see if there were any clues about the funeral owner, but unexpectedly found a tape."

"Do you want to listen?"

Miyano Akimi added, "Since I don't want to talk to the taxi driver, I can listen to it, and I don't have to care whether I'm disturbed by driving."

Hinata Riki once again: "."

He moved his eyes, sighed without calmly and said directly, 'You can actually just say that you took another tape left by Elena Miyano'. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay."

A slight rumbling sound came from the other end of the phone, followed by a clicking sound, and a slight thrilling sound during the tape reading.

Then, a female voice came, "Hi."

This sound was obviously filled with an electric current, and the sound of a very light tape running like a gurgling water.

The other party smiled and said hilariously to Hinata, "Lily."

Hinata Riori didn't move. He ignored the taxi driver's gaze that was coming over at high frequency, lowered his gaze and looked at the wet ground outside the window, and responded in a low voice, "Yeah."

"Hmm? It's great," the other party's smile became more obvious. "I really kept my promise and didn't ignore my mother. Even if I knew it was a tape, I would respond seriously to my mother."

This sentence was so responsive. Hinata subconsciously sat upright, and then realized that the sound of the tape running was still there, and the other party's tone was too familiar. It was [Ma Miyano Elena], not someone wearing a vocalizer to disguise himself as Miyano Elena.

The reason why the tape can say such strong response is that when recording, the other party predicted his response and made a response to him based on predicting his response.

He moved his eyes again.

The other party smiled again and said, "Okay, I'm so sorry, well, let me think about the main thing, this time the tape should be..."

She paused, "Twelve years old."

"But if there is no accident, when you hear this tape, you must not be twelve years old, maybe twenty-two years old, thirty-two years old, forty-two years old, eh?" Miyano Elena suddenly paused for a while. She was silent for a few seconds before smiling, "Sorry, sorry, I was wrong, it must be before the age of twenty-two."

She said lightly: "Before you are twenty-two, 'that gentleman' will definitely die."

"If you want."
