"But why did the murderer take away the eyes of the deceased?"
The snow was still falling outside, and in the cold room, the police officer couldn't help but ask.
Hearing his question, the young man was silent for a while, and then he slowly stood up.
"Because the eyes of the deceased... are very beautiful." When he said this, the boy's originally calm voice finally changed a little.
"very beautiful?"
The young man turned his head and looked at the police officer beside him.
It was also at this time that Belmod finally saw the boy's appearance.
He looked to be a little two or three years older than her, and he was very handsome, so handsome that he could disguise himself as a pretty girl with a certain amount of makeup.
Of course, it was not the boy's appearance that caught Belmode's attention at that time, but his eyes.
Those are a pair of very beautiful pure purple pupils.
【so beautiful. 】
This was the first time Belmode saw pupils of this color, so he subconsciously sighed in his heart.
The only slight flaw is that there is a lack of light in the young man's eyes.
His eyes, just like his low and steady voice, lacked the spirituality they should have and looked extremely gray, destroying the beauty in them.
"The deceased's pupils were purple." Looking at the police officer, the young man spoke word by word.
【Purple? 】
Suddenly, Belmode realized something.
The deceased's pupils were purple, and the boy's pupils were also purple. Moreover, the boy knew the deceased so well that he even knew some of the deceased's living habits...
Could it be that……
Belmode looked at the young man blankly, and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth.
At the same time, the detectives in the room seemed to react at this moment.
"You kid, you and her..." the police officer looked at the young man in disbelief and stammered.
Facing everyone's gaze, the young man's face remained unchanged.
"My name is Bai Heqing, and I am a detective assistant working at a nearby detective station.
The deceased was my mother. "
When the young man said this, his tone was extremely calm, the kind of calm that Belmode could not understand.
She could not imagine that a normal human being could analyze the cause of death of a close relative so calmly, elaborate on it in detail, and finally reveal the relationship between them so calmly. …
Is this person... a monster? Or a real machine?
However, the next moment, Belmod overturned all the labels he had given the boy without permission at this moment.
When the boy turned to look at the police officer, he finally saw Keiko Hatoyama, who had been standing quietly behind him.
At this time, Hatoyama Keiko's eyes no longer had the previous panic. She just stood quietly behind him, looking at him tenderly, with a touch of sadness deep in her eyes.
The two looked at each other, and the expression on the young man's face finally changed.
He seemed not to have expected Hatoyama Keiko's appearance at all, with a look of extreme astonishment on his face.
From this moment on, his originally calm state of mind suddenly collapsed at an extremely fast speed.
"Keiko..."
Tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably. The young man stared blankly at Keiko Hatoyama in front of him, opened his mouth, choked with sobs for a long time, and finally just said that small sentence with a cry.
"She's dead..."
Hatoyama Keiko didn't say anything, she just walked forward and hugged the boy gently.
The young man is not stone-hearted, he just hides his inner emotions deeply and only expresses them to those close to him.
Time seemed to be quiet at this moment, and Belmode stood quietly at the door of the room, watching the two people.
She now finally knows why Hatoyama Keiko was panicking before...
"..."
This was the first time Belmod and Shirakawa Qing met.
But strictly speaking, this was not actually a good first encounter.
Not only because the scene of the first encounter was extremely sad, but also because this time, only Belmode got to know Bai Heqing, and Bai Heqing didn't know her yet.
That day, after Renye Karasuma and the head of the Hatoyama family discussed matters, Belmode was taken back to the United States.
She didn't know what happened after that. She didn't know the story of Hatoyama Keiko and Shirakawa Kiyo, nor did she know whether the vicious murderer had been caught and brought to justice.
At that time, she was still feeling regretful that she could only leave so suddenly. It was not clear yet that her life from now on was actually tightly tied to these two people...
And everything changed three years later.
Three years later, Belmode officially entered high school. Although she was not a super genius, her grades had always been among the best in the school since she was a child, and she had won various awards in the school.
If she continues on this trajectory, she should be able to successfully enter one of the top universities in the United States based solely on her grades. After obtaining a shiny academic degree, she should inherit the Karasuma family's property step by step.
However, fate did not allow her to continue walking peacefully, but completely broke her uneventful life in a way that she had not expected.
In the year when she officially entered high school, the head of the family, Renya Karasuma, took her back to Japan.
Karasuma Renye gave her two explanations.
First, the change in the focus of the Karasuma family's industry made it necessary for him to settle in Japan for a long time.
Second, the traditional big families in Tokyo have jointly opened a special university open only to the children of these families, including the Karasuma family.
Renya Karasuma intended for Belmod to enroll in this university. Therefore, in order to help her adapt to the Japanese teaching methods as soon as possible, he took her back to Japan and enrolled in a Japanese high school so that she could adapt to Japan in advance. teaching methods.
Of course, Belmod later learned that these were actually lies.
In other words, they are just superficial reasons.
The only real reason Karasuma Renya returned to Japan was...
But in Belmod's view at the time, although this decision was sudden, she didn't feel much sadness.
Because she herself is actually looking forward to returning to Japan again.
She wanted to see the two people from three years ago.
Keiko Hatoyama, and the young man named Shirakawa Kiyo.
Of course, the only person she really wanted to see was Hatoyama Keiko.
As for Bai Heqing, it’s just incidental...
After learning about Belmod's idea, Karasuma Renye did not object to her contact with the two people. On the contrary, she also told her something about Hatoyama Keiko.
Sister Keiko's health has been so poor since she was a child that she never really went to school when she was young. All her studies were completed on her own under the guidance of tutors hired by the Hatoyama family. .
As for Bai Heqing, he is already engaged to Hatoyama Keiko.
