Chapter 505 [Chapter 2] 65
She moved her lips, and it took a little effort to make a sound normally.
"...The one who is completely obedient and does not think for itself is a puppet."
She said in the same voice calmly.
"Director... do you want me to be a puppet?"
Reji Munakata seemed a little surprised.However, in her position with her back to him, she couldn't see his expression.He paused before saying: "... I thought you would fully agree with all my choices... Didn't you say that you think I have done a good job, and no one can do better than me?"
Because he remembered the scene in which he said such words, Liu Quan grinned silently and gave a wry smile.
"Of course I will support all your choices, as long as you think it is the best choice." She replied unexpectedly.
Reji Munakata didn't seem to expect her to answer like that, raised his eyes slightly in surprise, and his eyes fell on her back.
"what?"
Liu Quan didn't give him time to comment on this sentence, and continued: "...But, this doesn't mean that I won't have and express my views reasonably on all things."
Munakata Reishi was silent for a long time, and then said in an unusually serious and thoughtful tone: "Is...is that so?"
His over-intelligent brain was clearly thinking about her words.However, "knowing" is one thing, "accepting" or just "getting used to it" is quite another.
Liu Quan didn't think this problem was a key point that could shake their relationship, she just felt that this kind of problem that would arise during the running-in period came at a bit of an inopportune time - there was a Stoka foreigner floating on the street outside. who! ——However, it is not easy to obtain evidence for this kind of thing before the other party has actually committed any crime. After saying "then I'm resigning", he continued to walk forward and left the office of the chief, leaving room for the chief to think carefully.
So this stagnant atmosphere continued for several days.
At noon that day, taking advantage of the chance that the head of the room went out again, Liu Quan made a phone call on the rooftop again.
"Senior Zhou Fang? It's me, Liu Quan Xinya.... There is something I want to ask you."
She paused, as if being sprayed unceremoniously by the person on the other end of the phone, with a wry smile on her face.
"Okay... Mr. Zun." She changed her address and her tone was more casual.
"Thank you for reminding me that day. That person's super power is very interesting. If you hadn't reminded me in advance, it would be really difficult to notice such a person behind me..."
"I just want to ask, since this person appeared in Zhenme Town that day, do you and everyone in the Akagumi have any impression of the person 'Ichimura Zero'? Did he appear in Zhenme Town for a while, or Appeared by chance near HOMRA that day?"
The person on the other side of the phone seemed to answer a few more words, and Liu Quan's face became serious.
"Is that so... Akazumi doesn't have a clue... This is interesting."
The corners of her lips curved slightly, revealing a bit of a stern smile.
After hanging up the phone, she didn't stay on the roof too long, she walked towards the fire door leading to the stairs, opened the door and entered the building.
However, when she was walking up and down the huge staircase inside the SCEPTER4 building, which was so gorgeous that it hardly seemed like a small sub-room, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Seri Awashima happened to appear around the corner, as if he came out of another corridor, and was about to go downstairs as well.Seeing Liu Quan, she seemed to be slightly taken aback. After nodding to her, she pondered for a moment, and then stopped Liu Quan who was about to go downstairs.
"Liu Quan..." Awashima called her by her surname, with his left hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, with a worried expression on his face.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered to ask about it... but I think that if things are left to run freely, it will sooner or later affect public affairs."
Upon hearing this kind of opening remarks, Liu Quan realized what Awashima-san was going to talk to her about.She stood still on the stairs, turned her head to look at Sister Awashima, and wanted to sigh in her heart.
Speaking of which... the current situation is indeed a little tricky.
She and the head of the room seem to have no quarrels, and it seems that neither of them has the wrong idea, but they are screwed at a certain point, as if they are competing with each other, and they don't think they have any reason to give in; because if you give in here , then the other party can gain the upper hand in one fell swoop, and take their concessions for granted, and form a thinking inertia when dealing with problems in the future-this is much worse than simple concessions.
In other words, just like what a married cousin of hers in this life said inadvertently when she was showing affection, "When I got married, I thought that I could wash his clothes for him, but the underwear and socks must be Let him do it himself! This step is the bottom line, and he must never back down! If he does, he will treat me as a servant and old lady who can do everything for him from now on, and it will be useless to treat me as a yellow-faced woman in the future. Mental block!"
Liu Quan still remembers that after making such earth-shattering remarks, my cousin continued to elaborate on the question of who would wash the dirty underwear and dirty socks, and a long-term offensive and defensive battle broke out between her and her cousin-in-law.When the battle was fierce, my cousin wore plastic gloves and piled up my brother-in-law’s unwashed dirty socks and threw them directly into the trash bag, while my cousin’s husband bought new pairs of socks at home; but in the end, the war ended with my cousin ended in victory.A few years later, my cousin-in-law still had the lazy style of painting when he came home, but he also began to wash clothes by himself besides underwear and socks—and then he knew how to go shopping and repair plumbing I changed the light bulb, I know I have to pay the water, electricity and gas bills...
Well, this kind of parental short story doesn't seem to fit the style of the head of the room.However, the truth of the matter is the same.Things don't last long when one side is always giving in and the other is always attacking.It is necessary to find a balance point that everyone finds acceptable in the continuous temptation of both sides, and can also get along with this model in the future.
Thinking of these, Liu Quan also slowly sorted out his thoughts.
The key is not in the amount of love, nor in quarrels or cold wars, but in how to get along with each other for a long time, how to maintain yourself and those beautiful qualities that made the other party fall in love with you in the long-term relationship , Keep fresh.
If the head of the room insists on his idea after all kinds of weighing in the end, of course she will respect his opinion.
But she won't just say "Anyway, your opinion is always right, so I don't need to use my own brain to think in the future, and everything will be done by you."
How many times will she still say "that's my opinion".
Director, to use a popular saying in my life world, you may disagree with me, but you must defend my right to speak to the death——
Because I'm ready to risk everything at any time to defend your ideals, your righteousness, and your safety——
Awashima in front of her seemed to be considering her words, so she didn't notice Liu Quan's long silence.She thought for a while before saying: "...From the standpoint of a friend who has known you and the room chief for a long time, I think you should know about this."
Liu Quan:? ?
Awashima said: "After the Pillar Pagoda incident, I visited the apartment of the head of the department... because the head of the department had already moved out of the SCEPTER4 residence due to the dismissal of the prime minister."
Liu Quan:? !
Awashima hesitated for a moment.
"I went to hear if the head of the office has any countermeasures for the current situation after the stone slab was taken away by the Green King... However, I saw—uh, an unexpected fact."
She seemed to pause for a moment because she thought of something, and raised her eyes to look at Liu Quan, her expression became very earnest.
"At that time, the head's sword of Damocles...was severely damaged in the Pillar Tower incident the night before, and it was already obvious that cracks and fragments were falling, and it was irreparable..."
Liu Quan:! ! !
Awashima noticed her shock, a slightly relieved smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"Then, we heard... the song from the next door."
She looked directly into Liu Quan's eyes.
"You must know that song."
Liu Quan was silent for a moment, and slowly curled the corners of his lips.
"...Is it the song at the Christmas party in Chaowei Middle School?"
Awashima nodded silently.
Liu Quan was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"It's really... completely OOC, isn't it? Director?" She said softly as if she was talking to herself.
The head of the room also remembered this song after they parted, of course she knew about it a long time ago - after they reunited that day, she had already discovered that the stereo in the head of the room was set to play automatically when it was turned on, This is the song.However, when this fact was spoken by an objective third person other than the two of them, it was unexpected and had a double impact on her.
Liu Quan looked away slightly and lowered his head.
"...Please think about it, Liuquan-kun." Awashima did not criticize or lecture her at length, but said to Liuquan concisely and earnestly.
"Think about the meaning behind this incident...Think about what the head of the office means to you." At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the identity of [Chaowei Middle School Qingbu Guidance Teacher] at this moment, speaking with a sincere heart In a sincere, powerful tone, he said to Liu Quan word by word.
"No matter at what time, even if you have disappeared and your whereabouts cannot be found—but, such a person...he will always remember you, and cherish those memories...Otherwise, he wouldn't be here At that moment, I still listened to that song quietly for so long..."
"I thought so."
After Awashima finished speaking, Liu Quan was silent for a long time.
Then he raised his gaze and looked straight at Awashima without avoiding it.
"I see." She replied simply.
She reached into her pocket straight in front of Awashima, and took out the terminal.
"The head of the office went out to have a meeting with those so-called 'government princes' again today...it's really troublesome." She said to herself.
"Is it really okay to say such things to him without authorization at this moment... forget it."
Awashima: "..."
However, before Liu Quan found out the number of Mrs. Room Chief and dialed it, the terminal suddenly vibrated in her hand!
Liu Quan looked at the caller ID on the screen, and it turned out to be a call from the hospital.
She answered the phone with an inexplicable face, and it turned out to be—an unbelievable lost and found call!
"Is it Ms. Liuquan?... Hello, this is the XX District General Hospital. The purpose of my call today is to report to you that the lady you sent here five days ago has died I've been discharged from the hospital..." The other party said on the phone, it was a very calm female voice, probably someone like the attending physician.
Liu Quan felt a little strange. "Oh... Speaking of which, she didn't suffer any injuries... Well, it's normal to be discharged from the hospital..."
But the female doctor interrupted her.
"No, Ms. Liu Quan, I don't know if you understand what I mean... That lady didn't go through the normal discharge procedures and was discharged from the hospital. She left on her own."
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment.
"Huh?!...Then what you mean by calling me is...does the other party owe the hospital the treatment fee?"
The female doctor gave a rare pause on the phone.
"It's true that the lady didn't settle the treatment fee...but that's not the point of my call today."
"Because Ms. Liu Quan is the one who sent her here, I would like to ask you... Did you know her before? Do you know... She has a tendency to physically harm herself or suffer from serious domestic violence?"
Liu Quan was really shocked this time.
"Self-harm?! Domestic violence?!"
It is true that she thinks that if the girl goes to the nightclub to drink too much at night, maybe anything will happen. It is not like she has never seen a drunk girl hit her head against the wall or forcefully break the wine bottle and slap her arm. If the doctor deliberately mentions the word "self-harm", the matter must be more serious than the ordinary pursuit of pain and pleasure.
Moreover, why is there domestic violence... Did she accidentally discover some problem that must be dealt with by social workers? The girl is still a victim of domestic violence!
"No," her voice became serious, "I didn't know her before. When I sent her to the hospital, I also explained that it was because she was accidentally involved in a violent incident where bad elements threatened passers-by. , that’s why we sent her to the hospital.”
The female doctor sighed slightly.
"So... should I call the police?" she said to herself, as if seriously considering the possibility.
Liu Quan:? !
"What happened? Why did you come to such a conclusion?!"
After the female doctor gave a simple explanation on the phone, Liu Quan hung up the phone, and then turned to Awashima, whose expression was also serious because of the two key words "self-harm" and "domestic violence".
"Awashima-kun, I have to go out now. A few days ago I met a witness of occasional violence on the road, and now the doctor suspects that he is suffering from severe domestic violence and self-harm, and left the hospital by himself. The whereabouts are unknown." She explained the cause and effect in a few words, and slipped the terminal into her pocket.
Awashima nodded with a sullen face, and said, "Handle this matter well, if you need support, you can contact the station", then watched Liu Quan run down the stairs in three steps at a time, and pushed away the stairs of the SCEPTER4 building. door, into the bright midday sun.
