48 Hours a Day

“What did you do after that?” Zhang Heng asked.

“I... didn't do anything.” Takeda also showed guilt in his eyes, "I shouldn't have left Kobayashi there, I wanted to... get out of the car to check on him, but at that time I heard the siren coming from across the street, I was scared, didn't dare to stop more, turned the car head and rushed off the highway. ”

“What happened to the two of them?” Ameko couldn't stand it.

“The latter, which I also saw on the news, reported that two bad young people were racing backwards on the highway, crashing into a large van that was driving in front of them, and eventually dying and seriously injured, who were still rescued in the emergency room, but three days later were not cured. ”

“Is Kobayashi incurable or..."

“He is Naoto Asano, besides the strongest driver in horse training, he also has another identity, his uncle is the vice president of Tokyo's largest extreme organization, Hitomi Ghost. ”

“So that's why you chose to change your name after you left the garage? ”

“Yes, it was an unpublished competition, and no one but the three of us knew that although there were some other witnesses on the highway at the time, we were poor visibility and we were going the other way, but based on those vague testimonies the police could not determine the existence of a third car because of fear of jail time and revenge by ghost-eyed eyes, I... chose silence again.

“However, there was no pleasure in my heart in escaping punishment. Every day after that, I lived in guilt for Kobayashi. If I didn't mean to use my breath that day and insist on the game that shouldn't have started, there would be no such thing. I was the one who stepped into the ghost gate at the time. Ironically, the first of the three of us to die was the only one who voted against Kobayashi... I later snuck to his house to see it, but Kobayashi's father died a long time ago, only his mother and a sister, and soon after this happened, they moved out of Tokyo. ”

“You met your mother after that, then why not live well?” Ameko.

“After that incident, I was nervous, I couldn't even sleep, I even prepared a suicide note by the pillow, but over time, neither the police nor Ghost Eyes came to me, so after a while I thought it was over, I started to get back into everyday life, I met the woman I loved in that time, we formed a family like other happy ordinary people, and after a year and a half I had you, I sworn I wouldn't drive anymore, and started a fishery store.

“After the initial struggle, the aquaculture store was doing well and everything seemed to be on track, six years after that, enough time to forget many things, so I had no idea that one day the nightmare would come back to me. ”

“What do you mean?” Ameko doesn't understand.

“One night, I processed my order alone at the aquaculture store and suddenly flew in through the window a stone and smashed the glass. I thought it was a prank from a kid in the neighborhood, but when I chased out, I didn't see anyone. When I came back, I found out that the stone was wrapped in an old newspaper, and the front page of that old newspaper was the high-speed car crash of the year, with a line of blood next to the title —— you think you can get away with it? ”

Takeda also shook ash, “No one but the three of us knew about that incident, Kobayashi... died on the spot, Naoto Asano stayed in the hospital's critical care room for three days, he was badly injured, the newspaper said he had been in a coma, but did not rule out that the middle of it would wake up for a while... anyway, when that newspaper showed up, my life was over. So you weren't really into gambling at the time, just trying to force your mom to divorce you, right? ”

“Six years ago I made a mistake pulling Xiaolin into the matter, so I won't make that mistake again.” The owner of the aquaculture store said calmly, “I am not afraid of death, that is the end I deserve, the real Yusuke Tsuchiya died with Kobayashi on that highway long ago, and the surviving Takeda Chu was just his guilt and cowardice. ”

“Better than this, I wonder how you escaped from Ghost Eyes over and over again.” Zhang Heng said.

“If you're asking about that time many years ago, maybe you want to see me depressed, maybe to make me taste it for a longer time, anyway, they didn't come back to me, until nine months ago a mystery person called me, said Ghost Eyes would soon do it to me, prepared me, and he also informed me about last night. ”

Takeda also paused, "Well, my story is over, like I said before, this matter has nothing to do with you, that tragedy was caused by me, and I should naturally end it myself. ”

“You don't believe that either.” Zhang Hengdao, "otherwise you won't pretend to be addicted to gambling again, forcing Ameko to break up with you. ”

Takeda Chu also heard that he was caught in a brief silence. A moment later, he said, “Try it sometime, you can't do nothing. ”

The owner of the aquaculture store seemed determined, Ameko was a little anxious, and she wanted to say something else, but the next moment her face turned red.

Zhang Heng got up and picked up the coat that was sitting next to him, "You taught me how to drive. Whatever person you were before, at least let me give you a ride. ”

Takeda also thought about not refusing, looking at the two of them, "Take care of Ameko for me. ”

The three of them left the breakfast shop and Takeda also walked in front of him. He opened the van door and then glanced at him and pounced straight into the van.

Zhang Heng retracted the bowl of soup in his hand and said to Ameko, staring behind his back, "His guilt about that thing had overshadowed his mind. He had no idea how to deal with the current situation. All he could think about was asking for a death relief. Sorry, this is the only way I can calm him down. ”

“Ah, ah?... oh.” Ameko suddenly wondered why Zhang Heng had suddenly become so light-hearted and secretly squeezed her hand under the table, but almost misunderstood each other.

But what's even stranger is that I didn't seem to be as excluded from this sort of thing as I imagined.

Ameko was in a bit of a trance until there was another Heng voice in his ear, "This car didn't have an annual inspection and related formalities, let's get out of here first. ”

“Mm-hmm.” The girl goes into the back compartment and closes the door.

Zhang Heng started the car and deliberately took an extra turn on the road to prevent people from following him. Fifteen minutes later, he parked the L300 in a large supermarket parking lot, opened the door and extended his right hand.

“Takeda… there are a few questions in the story your father just told. ”
