Since the little action between the boy and Karasuma was always covered by the table, the Muraki couple sitting opposite did not notice it.
After the boy let go of Karasuma's hand, he looked at Mr. Muraki and asked:
"Mr. Muraki, I learned from Kyoko's classmates at school that during the vacation after graduating from junior high school, one of Kyoko's junior high school classmates seemed to be unable to bear his long-term bullying behavior and finally chose to He committed suicide by jumping off a building, is this possible?"
"Woo!"
As soon as the boy finished speaking, Mrs. Muraki, who was crying softly, cried even louder.
"Bai, Officer Baihe, please don't talk nonsense..."
Although Mr. Muraki's reaction was not so intense, he still showed obvious nervousness. He quickly smiled and said:
"That classmate, that classmate, committed suicide by jumping off the building. This was her own problem and had nothing to do with our Xingzi... Those words out there that she jumped off the building because she was bullied by Xingzi are all rumors and lies. , can’t be taken seriously…”
When the boy heard this, his face suddenly showed a sunny, kind smile like the big brother next door, and his voice was extremely gentle.
"You two, please rest assured that the police always act based on solid evidence, and naturally they will not just listen to unfounded rumors."
The boy's reaction made Karasuma sitting next to him dumbfounded.
No, it turns out that you, a wooden person, can still have such an expression like a normal human being?
It's obvious that you look pretty when you smile, so why don't you smile more?
"That is to say, before Kyoko-san, a junior high school classmate did commit suicide by jumping off a building, right?" The boy asked, not paying attention to Karasumaru's inner fluctuations at this moment.
Mr. Muraki did not directly deny the suicide by jumping off the building, but immediately distanced himself from the relationship between the matter and his daughter.
That means that this matter does exist, and judging from this person's reaction, although he said that it has nothing to do with his daughter, in fact, the rumors about this matter are probably true...
Of course, despite this, the boy had no intention of getting involved in this "suddenly increased case".
After all, campus bullying is a very difficult campus problem to deal with in any country in the world due to its various particularities.
The people involved are all children who are "favored" by the law. For the sake of the school's reputation, the school just wants to minimize the incident. The parents of the bully will try their best to reduce the impact of the incident in order to protect their children. Local officials do not want to do anything for their own future. Lots of trouble...
Under the influence of these various factors, many campus bullying incidents are difficult to be dealt with fairly.
Not to mention that what the boy is encountering now is that both the former bully and the bullied have been killed one after another. Even if he wanted to investigate, he would not be able to investigate.
"This, this, this is indeed the case..."
Although Mr. Muraki was a little evasive in his words, he did not lie about this matter in the end. Perhaps he knew that it was useless to lie about this kind of thing. The boy could find out clearly by looking back.
"But Officer Baihe, this matter really has nothing to do with Kyoko..."
"Mr. Muraki, tell me about the classmate who committed suicide by jumping off the building."
Instead of wasting any more time on these meaningless things, the boy asked directly, his tone becoming tougher.
This was the second thing he wanted to ask this time.
This morning, when he learned from Karasuma's good friend Akina's classmate that the deceased Kyoko's classmate had bullied a classmate to the point of committing suicide when he was in junior high school, he had already had similar speculations in his mind.
Kyoko's classmate committed suicide. If it was just bullying in a general sense, it might not bring harm to herself, but if she had already pushed the other party to the point of committing suicide, and she still couldn't get a relatively fair treatment. , then the possibility of the bullied family members privately seeking revenge against the bully will skyrocket.
And in the test of just two sentences, the boy was even more certain of this.
This time, Kyoko-san, the deceased, may have really driven one of her classmates to a dead end.
"Yes Yes……"
Under the invisible pressure from the boy, Mr. Muraki nodded repeatedly and stumblingly talked about the girl who committed suicide by jumping off the building.
That's what he said, but he didn't seem to know much about the specific situation.
A few months ago, one day suddenly, a man held a black-and-white portrait, ran to the door of their house, and cried loudly, saying that his daughter had been killed by their daughter.
This movement attracted many neighbors to watch, and some even called the police. The police took the man away, and then the news spread that it was the man's daughter who committed suicide by jumping off the building that day. It is said that she committed suicide. The reason is that they suffered long-term bullying from their daughter, and finally suffered a mental breakdown and did this...
Although this incident was widely spread, one thing that cannot be changed is that the man's daughter undoubtedly committed suicide by jumping off the building.
As for the rumors that he had been bullied for a long time, because of the active or passive non-cooperation of the school and informed classmates, it was really difficult for the police to collect specific relevant evidence, and they were unable to conduct further investigations. In the end, the case was simply concluded with suicide...
"I, that's all I know..."
After getting up and sending the three boys towards the door, Mr. Muraki smiled apologetically and said:
"Officer Baihe, this matter has nothing to do with Kyoko. Those are all things that the man deliberately caused because he wanted to extort our money. You must prove our innocence and cannot listen to the lies outside. Rumors..."
"Mr. Muraki, I have already said that the police will only act based on specific evidence, and naturally will not just listen to unfounded rumors."
"Haha, I know, I know, especially Officer Baihe, you are young and promising, and you look like a fair and good police officer at first glance..."
When he reached the door, Mr. Muraki quickly stepped forward and opened the door.
At this time, he was standing with his back against the door, holding the door handle with one hand and looking at the boy with the other hand in a "please" gesture. The smile on his face could even be said to be a bit flattering.
"Then, Officer Baihe, walk slowly."
The boy also showed that gentle smile to him again.
"Thanks."
After saying that, the boy walked out.
Since the door was not wide, and Mr. Muraki was still standing half sideways at the door, when the boy walked past him, the distance between the two people was inevitably very close. .
【Um? 】
It was at this moment that the boy suddenly smelled a faint pungent smell coming from Mr. Muraki's body.
