Hatoyama Keiko has always known that the boy is not really as indifferent as he appears.
He can actually laugh, and he is also a mentally sound human being who is happy and sad, cares about others, and can joke with his friends.
It was only the poor living environment since childhood that passively formed his usual attitude of always rejecting others.
Therefore, when Keiko Hatoyama actually saw the boy squatting so calmly next to his mother's body, using such a calm tone to reconstruct the murder process of his mother bit by bit, Keiko Hatoyama was heartbroken. .
The worst case scenario finally happened.
In an instant, the rosy color on her face caused by excessive exercise turned pale at this moment.
She felt her head suddenly felt dizzy, and she couldn't help but staggered again. This time, fortunately, the old housekeeper behind her helped her in time.
Among the several detectives in the room, two detectives noticed the movement behind them. They turned around and saw surprised expressions on their faces when they saw Hatoyama Keiko.
But Hatoyama Keiko raised her hand to prevent them from making any further reaction.
She shook her head slightly, forced herself to stand firm, and slowly walked towards the boy in the room with his back to her, step by step, and finally stopped two meters behind him.
During this process, her sad eyes always stayed on the boy's figure.
She just watched silently, how the boy perfectly reconstructed the death process of his mother under the questioning of the surrounding detectives.
Including how the murderer approached his mother, how he killed him, and how he finally gouged out his mother's beautiful eyes...
When analyzing this, the boy's tone was extremely calm. He was like a real detective telling a case that had nothing to do with him.
At the end of the story, just when several detectives had vaguely noticed that something was wrong, the boy finally stood up and for the first time took his eyes away from his mother's body.
Then, under the extremely shocked gazes of all the unaware people present, he said those words calmly.
"My name is Bai Heqing, and I am a detective assistant working at a nearby detective station.
The deceased was my mother. "
And the boy's peace ended here.
At the same time he finished saying this, the boy finally saw Keiko Hatoyama, who had been standing behind him for a long time.
At this time, Hatoyama Keiko's eyes had long lost the initial panic. She just stood behind the boy, looking at him tenderly, but there was still a sadness hidden in the depth of this tenderness.
The appearance of Keiko Hatoyama seemed to be completely beyond the boy's expectations, and for the first time there was a look of astonishment on his face.
Then, the calmness that had been maintained on the boy's face quickly collapsed under the gaze of Keiko Hatoyama.
"Keiko..."
Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes. The boy just stared at her blankly, opening his mouth repeatedly, and finally just choked out one sentence.
"She's dead..."
He stood there, crying almost uncontrollably.
But Hatoyama Keiko didn't say anything, she just stepped forward and hugged him gently.
Keiko Hatoyama has asked more than once, why do disasters always like to happen to those who are already suffering enough?
But Keiko Hatoyama has never thought deeply about this issue because she has always been afraid that the answer to the question may be cruel.
It's not that disasters always happen to poor people, but that poor people are often in fragile environments, and it only takes a little accident to break them easily.
Since that day, the boy's heart has been broken. It was only because of the existence of Hatoyama Keiko that he was squeezed back bit by bit.
"..."
After that day, Xiao Karasuma followed Karasuma Renye back to the United States.
The boy's mother's killer has also never been caught.
The murderer was very smart. On the day he committed the murder, the nearby residents did not go out because of the snow. There were no pedestrians on the street at that time. At the same time, the murderer also carefully cleaned up all the traces he might have left at Baihe's house. Leave any clues for the police to pursue.
Even the only newspapers used by the murderer to get close to the boy's mother were eventually investigated by the police. They were snatched by the murderer after knocking out a newspaper seller.
According to the newspaper seller's recollection, he was attacked from behind by the murderer and fell into a coma, so he never saw the murderer's appearance or physical characteristics.
Even the last possible footprints of the murderer were hidden in the snow because the boy's mother was found murdered by a neighbor too late.
The police also tried to find similar cases in the surrounding neighborhoods to identify the murderer.
However, this seems to be the murderer's first crime. Before this, the police had never encountered a similar murder case in which the eyes were gouged out, and there was no way to start.
There are no witnesses, no relevant clues, and no similar cases...
In this way, as time went by, the chances of this case being solved became smaller and smaller, and it was eventually shelved by the police...
After the boy learned the news, he did not have any extreme reaction and just said calmly.
"They've done their best."
Life goes on, and the pain caused by this incident seems to have passed.
But Hatoyama Keiko knew that was not the case.
Since then, the boy has been more devoted than ever to his work as a detective assistant. His reasoning ability, which is far beyond ordinary people, has gradually brought the boy into the sight of the police and into the eyes of Mr. Hatoyama. .
In fact, Mr. Hatoyama has always known about the relationship between Hatoyama Keiko and the boy. After all, he is his only granddaughter. How could he not pay attention to this?
It was just because Hatoyama Keiko had always been very measured in this regard, never spending the night outside, and being accompanied by an old housekeeper every time he went out, so he turned a blind eye and acquiesced. .
In addition, Mr. Hatoyama discovered after a little investigation that the boy who hung out with his granddaughter was actually a diligent and studious person?
Although the boy's mother had some bad rumors in the past, the boy himself is tough-minded and began to share the pressure on his family at a young age.
And no matter how hard life was for the mother and son, they never asked his granddaughter for any money?
As long as this kind of character does not deteriorate in the future, it is perfectly fine to be friends.
Mr. Hatoyama's thoughts gradually changed as the boy gradually showed his talents in solving cases that were far beyond ordinary people.
The old man suddenly discovered that, rather than just being his granddaughter's friend, this boy seemed more suitable to marry into their Hatoyama family and become his successor in the police world?
