Mochizuki handed the gift to Ming Mei. Ming Mei hesitated for a moment before accepting it. Of course, this hesitation did not show on her face.
"You're too polite. Actually, I just moved here too.”Ming Mei asked," Do you want to come in and sit for a while?”
"Is it really possible?" If the neighbors were ordinary people, Mochizuki would not have bothered to visit them. But since it was Miyano Akimi and Miyano Shiho, he was very interested in visiting them.
"Of course, please come in." Ming Mei invited Mochizuki into the room. When she looked at Mochizuki's back, her eyes became more cautious. She purposely came into contact with the Moongazer Serpent to see if it recognized her.
The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was not even a chair, only a small low table. The Japanese liked to kneel in front of this kind of table to eat. There was a board in the room, and on the other side was the sleeping area.
As soon as Mochizuki entered the room, he saw a little girl with brown hair sitting at a low table watching TV. She even turned her head to look at him. This little girl was Miyano Shiho, who had become smaller.
Unlike the white coat that didn't fit him, Little Zhibao was now wearing children's clothes. He was wearing a pair of denim overalls, which was very cute.
"Miss Hui Yuan, who is this child?”Mochizuki asked Akami.
"She's my sister," Akira replied."Her name is Haigahara.”
"What did you say her name was?" The Moongazer Serpent was startled.
Ming Mei saw the Moongazer Serpent in a daze and was confused. Why was he so surprised? Was there a problem with this name? "Her name is Ai Haihara, the sad Ai. What's wrong?”
Oshiho…no, Haihara Ai was also puzzled by Mochizuki's behavior. My sister and I both need fake names, so I randomly named myself Haihara Ai. My sister also changed her name to Haihara Mesa. Why was he so surprised to hear my name?
At this moment, the Moongazer Serpent was in a mess.
In the original novel, Miyano Shiho was adopted by Dr. Agasa after she became small. It was Dr. Agasa who suggested that she should be called Ai Haihara, but she changed her name to Ai Haihara due to her chuunibyou disease. It was obvious that Xiao Zhibao hadn't come into contact with the doctor, so why did he still call him by this name?
Was this fate?
"Ah, no, it's nothing. I just feel that the surname Hui Yuan is quite rare. I heard from the landlord that you two seem to be of mixed blood. Your surname is Hui Yuan. I thought your sister would take the surname of the other parent.”Moongazer Serpent smiled perfunctorily.
Ming Mei maintained a smile on her face." We all followed our father's surname. Indeed, the surname 'Hui Yuan' is rather rare. I think there are only about 500 people in the country. But what you said at the door…Aren't you from Japan?”
"No, I'm from Country Z who came here to study. My surname is Wang, and my name is Yue. My surname isn't Wangyue, but I'm already used to others calling me Wangyue, so I accept this title.”
"Did you just come to Country R?"
"I didn't just come here. I used to live somewhere else, but there was a murder there. I felt very unlucky, so I checked out and moved here.”Moongazer Serpent explained.
"Oh?" Ming Mei asked, knowing the answer. Homicide case?"
"Yes, my neighbor is dead. The police found out that he was killed. The names of the murderers seemed to be Akira and Masami Hirota, because they had both hired detectives to find the victims. Unfortunately, their whereabouts were unknown.”
Haihara Ai glanced at her sister.
Ming Mei appeared very calm." I see. No wonder you want to move. If it were me, I would definitely move too. By the way, Mr. Mochizuki, have we met before?”This sentence was already testing the Moongazer Serpent.
The Moongazer Serpent also sensed this. Ming Mei was definitely not sure if she recognized her.
"Hmm? Is there?" Mochizuki looked at Ming Mei carefully and then shook her head." I don't think I've seen you before. Have you seen me before?"”
"Ah…then I must have been mistaken.”Ming Mei smiled and made up a pretense.
The two chatted for a while more before Mochizuki took his leave. Before he left, he looked at Haihara Ai and seemed to have thought of something. "Oh, right, I have a box of desserts here. I was going to give it to Room 203, but the other party didn't want it. I don't really like sweet things. Why don't I give this box to you too?”
Ming Mei declined Mochizuki's kindness and said to her sister," Xiao Ai, say goodbye to Uncle.”
"No, no, don't call me uncle. Call me brother.”Moongazer Serpent quickly corrected him.
Xiao Ai was helpless and could only say,"Goodbye, brother."”
The word 'brother' was so sweet that Moongazer's heart almost melted.
……
After Moongazer Serpent left, Xiao Ai asked warily,""Did he recognize my sister?"
"I suppose he recognized it," said Minmei thoughtfully,"but strangely, he pretended not to.”
Xiao Ai was puzzled." The police suspect that my sister is the murderer. He recognized my sister, so why did he pretend that nothing happened?”
Ming Mei could only shake her head." I'm not sure. Besides, when he heard your name, he acted very strangely…"
The desserts sent by Mochizuki were placed on the table, and the box was covered with a bag. Xiao Ai opened the bag, revealing the box itself. On it were three Chinese characters," Wife Cake ".
"What is this?" Looking at the words "Wife Cake" on the dessert box, Xiao Ai was unable to react.
Ming Mei came over to take a look and frowned."Wife cake…What a strange name. Is he scolding me?"”(In Japanese, wife means old woman or granny)
"No, I remember that the word 'wife' seems to mean wife in Chinese…Could it be that he…likes sister? "That's why he didn't report it…" Xiao Ai looked at Ming Mei in surprise.
Ming Mei was stunned. Then, she smiled and said," How is that possible? I'm six or seven years older than him. Moreover, I only saw him from afar when Qiao Chuan dressed up. If you want to say that you like her, you should be the one who is more suitable.”
"Sister, you've at least seen him once, but I haven't even seen him!”
The two sisters looked at each other and could not help but laugh. " Maybe we're overthinking it," Ming Mei said after a while." He probably didn't recognize me at all. At most, he thought I looked familiar. When he saw you, his suspicion was dispelled."”
Xiao Ai thought about it and felt that it made sense. Usually, people would think that people with children would not be the murderer.
……
The next morning, Mochizuki got up and washed up. Just as he was about to go out for breakfast, he happened to meet Miyano Akimi in the corridor. No, at this moment, her name should be Haigahara Mesa.
" Good morning, Miss Haigahara." Moongazer Serpent greeted her. After asking, he found out that Akira had also gone out for breakfast and had brought back a portion for her sister, Haihara.
Mochizuki came to the street and looked at the dazzling array of shops. In the end, she walked into a ramen shop and ordered a bowl of ramen and a piece of ribs. After a while, the ramen was served.
