Hatoyama Keiko naturally knew the boy's character.
If the case had not been investigated to a certain extent, the boy would come to the hospital to see her, but at most he would only ask and care about her condition, and would not have so much free time to stay here and slowly peel apples.
This can only mean that the boy may have investigated this case clearly.
"Everything is basically checked out."
The boy's answer was just as Hatoyama Keiko expected. He cut off a small piece of apple again and handed it to her, and slowly said:
"I think this incident may be related to some cult organizations."
"Chew Chew...is that true?" Hatoyama Keiko nodded upon hearing this, then turned around and ate the third piece of apple that the boy handed over to her.
Yesterday, when she heard Xiao Karasuma's description of the deceased's body being tied into a "praying" position, she already had this suspicion in her mind.
However, because Hatoyama Keiko knew too little about the situation at the time, she herself could not confirm this guess, so she did not say it in the end.
Perhaps influenced by various negative factors after the war, numerous cult groups, large and small, sprang up in Japan at that time.
These groups are hidden in various dark corners of the city, using various but similar methods to brainwash and manipulate so-called believers and make profits.
In the past few years, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and local police departments have invested huge police resources in order to eradicate this phenomenon. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the final results have not been very good.
"If my guess is correct, the death of classmate Kyoko should be a carefully planned murder, and the real murderer who committed this murder may be her parents..."
When the boy said this, his hand cutting the apple paused briefly, but soon returned to normal, and cut off a small piece and handed it to Keiko Hatoyama.
"Perhaps the reason is that the Murakis wanted to drag their daughter into the cult group they believed in.
According to the information we have learned before, a few days before Kyoko was murdered, her mood at school was quite abnormal. According to her classmates, she was in a daze almost all day long, looking like she was out of her mind. appearance.
It must have been during those few days that Kyoko learned for the first time that her parents were members of a certain cult group, and that they even wanted her to join the cult.
But I don’t know why. Maybe Kyoko herself rejects these beliefs, or maybe there are some perverted behaviors in this cult group that she cannot accept.
In short, Kyoko must have refused. Not only that, she may have had a conflict with her parents because of this matter.
This is also the reason why Kyoko’s classmate was in an abnormal mental state a few days before she was killed.
And this conflict also fermented rapidly in those few days. Perhaps Kyoko threatened her parents and asked them to withdraw from the cult group, or perhaps her parents chose to obey the instructions of the cult group and wanted to get rid of them. Missing Kyoko-san who is very likely to threaten this group.
Anyway, after Kyoko's classmate came home from school the night before yesterday, they started.
The overall process is not too complicated, because there is a possibility that Kyoko-san will be killed by someone seeking revenge.
According to the report I received from the forensics department this morning, Kyoko-san has a large amount of anesthetic residue in her body.
They should have stun the unsuspecting Kyoko classmate with anesthetic that night, then moved her to the cemetery, in front of the tombstone of Hanada classmate who had been bullied by Kyoko's classmate and committed suicide, and killed her unconsciously. .
There are three purposes behind this behavior.
One is to use Hanada's tombstone as a cover-up to blame their murderous crime on Mr. Hanada.
After all, although Mr. Hanada was not directly killed by Kyoko-san, he died because of her. Mr. Hanada once asked the Muraki family for an explanation for his daughter's death, but was ultimately dismissed by the police responsible for the investigation at the time.
Logically speaking, Mr. Hanada has sufficient motivation to kill Kyoko's classmates, and he is a perfect scapegoat.
All we need to do is to make Mr. Hanada 'disappear' after dealing with Kyoko-san, to make all this reasonable.
The second reason is why Kyoko was tied up in a 'praying' posture. I don't really understand the situation of these religious beliefs, but based on my personal guess, they risked being discovered by the police in order to get Kyoko. The corpse of the classmate was made like this, probably for some kind of warning purpose to the internal believers.
It's probably like 'See?' This is what it feels like to rebel and go against our God'...
Of course, it is also possible that Kyoko's parents were too brainwashed by this cult group, and therefore had similar thoughts of hoping that Kyoko could "receive true salvation and convert to the true faith" after death. "
What the boy said was not random fabrication. It was not like he had never dealt with cases related to this kind of cult group before.
In his view, this type of so-called religious belief, after going through layers of screening, is indeed very good at brainwashing its own believers.
Things that go against common sense, such as inciting parents to kill their children, are simply childish. They may do more extreme things, and the boy has seen many similar incidents before.
"The third thing is the strange appearance of Kyoko-san's body."
After feeding almost half an apple to Keiko Hatoyama, the boy stopped.
The sugar content of this food is slightly high, and excessive intake is not good for Hatoyama Keiko's body, so the boy will only feed her half of it each time.
As for the remaining half?
"The head of the corpse is very obvious and has been artificially fixed in a raised position."
The boy cut himself a piece of apple and continued to explain while eating:
"I speculate that the purpose of their move may be to correspond to the location of their cult group's stronghold. Their 'god' is on the mountain behind the cemetery. This move is to offend their 'god' My classmates, Kyoko, knelt down and repented to their 'gods'."
"Xiao Qing, do you think that the stronghold of this cult group is on the back hill behind the cemetery?" Hatoyama Keiko asked after hearing this.
"Well, this is just a guess. It was getting late when I thought of this yesterday, so I planned to investigate again this morning."
At this point, the boy finished the remaining half of the apple and stood up from his seat.
"If nothing else happens, this case will be concluded today."
"..."
At the same time, in front of the cemetery where Kyoko's classmate was killed, Karasuma, who had another school day, was standing there, looking at it thoughtfully.
"Is Mr. Hanada just here to take the blame? The real murderer is indeed..."
"Huh? Are you...the female classmate next to Officer Bai He?"
At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Xiao Karasuma.
She looked back and saw that it was the gravekeeper who had reported the crime before.
