In the end, this murder case without death allowed the murderer to escape legal punishment under the deliberate cover of the victim.
Just when Karasumaying wanted to tell Officer Megure the truth, Hoshino Terumi stopped her, and then in front of her, she dialed the number of Kaoru Kusano who had woken up.
On the phone, when Terumi Hoshino asked who the murderer was, Kaoru Kusano was silent for a while, and then said it was a fat and short stranger who broke in from outside the apartment.
It was obvious that Kaoru Kusano was lying and that she was protecting the murderer Yue Yexue.
Karasumaying, who was listening next to her, chose to remain silent.
She does not have a very persistent sense of justice, nor a strong desire to make the truth known to the public.
Therefore, if even the victim, Ms. Kaoru Kusano, chooses to protect the murderer, then she will naturally not say anything else.
In this way, in Karasumaying's silence, Officer Megure and others finally identified the murderer as someone outside this apartment.
Karasuma Ying is convinced that as time goes by, this case will eventually become an unsolved case.
"Here, little sister."
In the parking lot below the apartment, as the police left, Terumi Hoshino, who had been waiting there, waved to Karasumaying.
"Ms. Hoshino."
"Would you mind taking a walk there with me?"
"good."
Faced with Hoshino Terumi's invitation, Karasumaying agreed without any hesitation.
The two walked side by side in the open space surrounding the parking lot.
"Actually, Koyuki, she has always been secretly in love with Kenzaki." Hoshino Terumi suddenly said.
"The crime was committed out of jealousy and hatred." With just this sentence, Karasumaying understood Yue Yexue's motive for attacking Kaoru Kusano.
Tonight's engagement party is a farce in itself.
Kaoru Kusano doesn't really want to get engaged to Osamu Kenzaki. Although the two are friends, they are not in that kind of relationship.
What Kaoru Kusano really likes is actually her manager, Atsushi Ma.
But Maxiong Atsushi seems a little weak in this regard. He has never been willing to take the initiative to express his feelings to Kaoru Kusano.
So, an angry Kaoru Kusano found Kenzaki Osamu, hoping that Kenzaki Osamu could cooperate with her in staging an engagement farce to force Xiong Du to speak.
There is another insider of this farce, Hoshino Terumi, which is why Hoshino Terumi wrote "Sorrows and Changes" on the cardboard.
Hoshino Terumi thought that Kaoru Kusano's plan to force Kumon Atsushi to propose to her had failed, so she could only wish her peace and good luck.
However, Yue Yexue was unaware of all this.
Not only that, Yue Yexue has been secretly in love with Kenzaki Xiu.
She didn't know the inside story at all and out of jealousy, she finally attacked Kaoru Kusano, but maybe she wasn't strong enough, or maybe she was still thinking about the sisterly love back then. In short, Yue Yexue didn't kill her completely.
After waking up, Kaoru Kusano also chose to protect Yue Yexue...
Human feelings are really complicated, and Karasumaying is not willing to think too deeply about it.
And her intuition told her that when Hoshino Terumi stopped her, she probably didn't just want to say what happened tonight.
Sure enough, Karasumaying didn't have to wait too long. After Hoshino Terumi lit a cigarette for herself, she finally got to the main topic of the night.
"Little sister, why do you want to be a detective?" she asked.
"Detective?" Karasumaying thought for a moment and replied truthfully: "It just happened like this. I didn't deliberately want to become a detective."
When she first came to Japan, she was looking for a part-time job and met Kogoro Mori, so she became the great detective's assistant.
For Karasuma Ying, the current situation is indeed just a choice she made according to the situation, nothing more.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Hoshino Terumi smiled helplessly, looking a little sad.
"It's really enviable..."
When Karasuma Ying heard this, she didn't ask, she just looked at Hoshino Terumi curiously.
In fact, when she was in the apartment before, Karasumaying had noticed that Hoshino Terumi herself had certain reasoning abilities and the necessary knowledge of criminal investigation.
But that's all.
Hoshino Terumi is an actor after all, not a detective.
Although it seems like she wants to be a detective?
"When I was very young, I once met a police officer."
Suddenly stopping, Terumi Hoshino looked up at the starry sky and spoke slowly.
"It must have been twenty years, right? I was still very young at that time, and I can't remember many details now.
I remember that day after a quarrel with my parents, I quietly ran out of the house in anger. I was alone on the street and didn’t know how I met him.
The police officer seemed to have asked me a lot of questions at that time, but I can’t remember them now. He probably asked me about my parents and where my home was...
But I definitely didn’t answer him properly at the time, because that whole day, he took me everywhere, including the beach, amusement parks, and foreign restaurants...
I thought at that time that he must be a senior official in the police, because my father said that ordinary police officers are very busy and cannot have time to play with strange children.
I remember that in the evening of that day, a murder seemed to have occurred in the restaurant where we were eating. The police officer hugged me and quickly solved the murderer's tactics and subdued the murderer.
In my opinion at that time, he was the most powerful person in the world, so I told him that when I grow up, I also want to be a police officer. What do you think he answered me? "
Hoshino Terumi suddenly turned to look at Karasumaying. Of course, she didn't seem to really want Karasumaying to answer, so she withdrew her gaze, looked up at the night sky again, and said:
"Police? Or not? If you really want to, Xiao Huimei can become a detective, because the word police is very strong."
Hoshino Terumi said, and lowered her head again. The cigarette in her hand had burned out at some point, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes.
"At that time, I didn't know the meaning of this sentence, but simply out of admiration for him, I simply changed my words and said that I wanted to be a detective when I grow up.
He told me that detectives need to have their own offices, and I asked him to help me fix one. He laughed and said that if I still have this idea when I become an adult, he would come and help me. I……"
"What happened next?" Karasumaying couldn't help but ask, immersed in the story told by Terumi Hoshino.
Although, she had already anticipated the ending of the story.
"There will be no future..."
Hoshino Terumi gradually stopped. She still lowered her head and stood there, seemingly smiling.
"Because half a month later, the police officer died in the line of duty... He could not come for a long time... It is really sad..."
Raising her hand to wipe her eyes, Hoshino Terumi took a deep breath and smiled at Karasumaying.
"I'm sorry for suddenly saying these useless things to you..."
"No, these are not useless things. For Miss Hoshino, these are precious memories." Karasumaying retorted.
In response, Hoshino Terumi just smiled.
"No matter how precious the memories are, if you are too immersed in them, you will get stuck in them.
Today, when I saw your reasoning, little sister, I suddenly thought of him again for some reason, so I couldn't help it and wanted to tell you about him... I'm sorry. "
"it does not matter."
"However, I have hidden this matter for twenty years. Now that I have told it, I feel a lot more comfortable... Okay, it's getting late, let's go back early."
"Well, Miss Hoshino, please be careful on the road."
"Ah, you too."
Without much words, the two waved goodbye, Karasumaying got on her electric car, and Hoshino Terumi got into her car.
However, after watching Karasuma Ei leave in the car, Hoshino Terumi did not go home directly. Instead, she slowly started the car, first bought a bouquet of flowers at a roadside flower shop, and then headed towards the police cemetery. The location is open.
She is very familiar with this road because she has been coming there once a year since she was very young, from when her parents took her there to when she came alone.
The time of arrival may vary each year, but she will definitely come.
Parking the bridge car outside, Hoshino Terumi held a flashlight in one hand and a bouquet in the other. She walked straight to a tombstone in the middle of the cemetery, bent down and put down the bouquet.
"I saw a very powerful child today. I don't know why, but I always feel that she is very similar to you. Maybe it's because she is a very powerful person like you, right?"
Hoshino Terumi raised her hand and took out a yellowed old photo from the inner pocket near her heart.
In the photo, there is a man who looks to be in his thirties. The man looks gentle and handsome. He is holding a little girl of five or six years old in his hands. Judging from the background behind the two of them, this photo should have been taken at an amusement park. .
Putting the photo back, Hoshino Terumi squatted down and picked up the fallen leaves that fell in front of the tombstone one by one.
"I'm sorry to disturb you so late, because I really want to see you tonight, please don't be angry with me.
Of course, I think you should also be happy that I will come. After all, I am the only one who comes to see you every year, and you must be counting on me to help you clean up these fallen leaves. "
The tombstone is very simple. There is nothing superfluous and there are no names of family members. It is so simple that it only has the name and police rank of the owner of the tombstone.
"Am I right? Officer Shirakawa?"
