Chapter 19
Today is the day my exhibition starts. As soon as I entered the gallery, I felt nervous and as if what I was feeling now had been something I wanted for a long time. I felt that there were several things that had previously been stuck in my mind quickly starting to melt away. At the same time I saw everyone who attended this event and they also looked very happy. When everyone looked at my work with admiration, my heart immediately became happy. However, at the same time, I accidentally saw something that immediately shocked me. At that time I saw someone who then made me feel curious about it. My grandmother is currently telling me to stay here, but my curiosity always haunts me. I couldn't stop thinking after that and I quickly ran out of this room and then headed to one of the places that seemed to be near the previous room. I slowly tried to check something and suddenly I was surprised because it was strange that there was no one here. Although previously I saw someone sneaking around and that made me curious. Not long after that, I found a red spot and when I looked again it wasn't colored paint. At that moment I saw another red spot and now I continued to follow the trail until finally I was very surprised by what I had just found. I quickly shouted and at that time the people attending this event were shocked when they heard my scream. Seeing that, they immediately looked at me with a very worried look. I tried to say something to them and at that moment they looked at the place where I had found something and it turned out that they were also very surprised when they saw it. Grandma also pushed through the crowd and then saw this and shocked Grandma.
"Good grief! What is this? Impossible!" said grandma.
The day that was previously looked forward to, now everything has gone awry. The police immediately went to the location and they also took away the body of a woman. They then closed this gallery and put up a police line. At that time I felt very sad. Many people were immediately surprised and felt sorry for me. As if they wanted to tell me something. At the same time, my grandmother and my aunt are currently demanding what happened and they only received a warning from the authorities who are planning to carry out an investigation at my grandmother's gallery. This time, I went home and I also felt a little upset about today's events. When I got home, not long after, I heard someone calling my name and when I opened the door, it turned out it was Yuko.
“Yuko? Why did you come here?” I said.
“I heard about it from the police who were at the location. They believe there was a murder there. You already know that too, right?"
"Ah, yes, I already know. Because I was the one who found the body.”
"What?"
“I also don't understand why someone died there. I thought my exhibition would go well and it turned out to be all wrong. I think this will be the end for me.”
“Why are you suddenly so pessimistic? I knew something was wrong there. But this shouldn't be the end for you. You can get up again and exhibit again somewhere else.”
“The problem is that everyone in Tokyo already knows about this incident. it will definitely have a big influence on me in the future. Ah. Unlucky."
"But, do you know who killed him?"
"No. The police will just carry out an investigation. How could I know."
"Good grief. This is very troublesome.”
“That's the problem. Now I feel like I'm going to die."
"Hah? Why do you say that?”
“Maybe someone deliberately killed him there. But who would commit such a terrible act?”
Many questions crossed my head. Right now I can't think clearly. Yuko continued to encourage me and not long after that I got a message from someone. When I saw it, I could only remain silent because this was a message sent by the police and told me to come to the police station. As soon as I saw this, I felt confused again and at that moment I immediately got up from where I was sitting and went together with Yuko to the police station. When I got there, I was immediately confronted by a man who seemed very experienced in dealing with cases like this.
“Anne. That's your name?”
“Ah, that's absolutely true.”
“Gosh, this is really unfortunate. Previously you found the woman's body in your grandmother's art gallery?"
"Yes. That's right."
“You know what that means?”
"What? I do not know."
“You have just witnessed a murder. That way, there will be many things I will ask you. Understand?"
“But, I really don't know anything. I only found a red spot and when I followed it, I found the body. I didn't see who killed that woman at all."
"Stop it. I already knew you would say something like this and for now just answer honestly.”
"What?"
Yuko continues to be silent and I still don't understand this situation. At the same time in other places. Harumi was seen together with other friends. They seemed to be talking to each other and not long after that, one of them was playing on his cell phone and then found out very shocking news. This person loudly told them all that an unknown murder had occurred in one of the galleries belonging to a famous artist in Tokyo. Harumi then asked the person to show him the news and it turned out that when he saw it, it was true. At this time they also couldn't understand this incident.
"Wow, this is terrible," said Harumi.
"I'm also very curious about how Anne is doing now."
“Why are you curious?”
“That obviously must have really upset that person. "Just imagine, Anne said she was doing an exhibition and then someone died, that would definitely be a nightmare in Anne's life."
“Then what are you going to do?”
“Eh? Ah, I guess I won't do anything.”
"Because of that, it's best to let the parties concerned handle all this."
"Actually, I just feel sorry. Isn't that natural?"
"Hah?"
“I mean aren't we friends?”
"What do you mean?"
"Listen Harumi, maybe you still don't understand because you're new, but for me we have to help," said the person and then Harumi fell silent.Download Novelah App
