After that, more than a year passed.
Hatoyama Keiko was twenty-three, the boy was twenty-two, and Karasuma was nineteen.
Over the past year, the lives of the three of them in Tokyo have remained as peaceful as ever.
Although that is said, there are actually some small changes.
The first is Wooden Man, who is already a junior in college. Although Wooden Man is already in his third year of college, Wooden Man comes to school less and less often.
In addition to still being active at various crime scenes to accumulate experience and prestige, Mu Ren is also more often arranged by Mr. Hatoyama to attend various gatherings among several political families in Tokyo, and can be seen all day long. Not a soul in sight.
In addition, Woodhead and Sister Keiko are still engaged, which makes Karasuma speechless. He even asked these two in private more than once, when are you going to get married?
As a result, the wooden person was not in a hurry, neither was Sister Keiko, nor did Mr. Hatoyama. It seemed as if she was the only one in the world who was in a hurry...
Tsk!
Karasuma pouted.
There is also sister Keiko. Her health is worse than a year ago.
Little Karasuma still remembers clearly that more than five to six years ago, when she first came to Japan and met Keiko sister, Keiko sister could still run several hundred meters on foot, running from Hatoyama's house to Shirakawa in one breath. Home.
When she returned to Japan for the second time almost three years ago, Sister Keiko was still able to walk and was never absent from class.
But starting more than a year ago, Sister Keiko gradually began to be absent from college, and occasionally went to the hospital to undergo various examinations.
This situation has been increasing over the past year.
Although Sister Keiko told her every time that this was just a "phased" situation, she didn't need to think too much about it.
But Karasumaru is really worried about how long this "phased" situation will last...
Let’s not talk about this for now. In addition to these not-so-big changes, a very important thing happened in Tokyo recently.
wrong.
It should be said that it is something that is not important to others, but is important to the three of them.
Karasuma-chan...is getting ready to go to college.
Karasuma, who is about to graduate from her senior year of high school, has finally waited for this day, but the prerequisite is that she must first decide which university she wants to choose.
Karasuma has been troubled by this matter recently.
Originally, she didn't need to think about such a thing.
After all, Renya Karasuma had made it clear when he brought her back three years ago that after she graduates from high school in three years, she will be directly assigned to the Bokuto and Sister Keiko's school, which was jointly funded by various families in Tokyo. special university.
Xiao Karasuma had no objection to this at first, or rather he was happy to do so. After all, both Woodhead and Sister Keiko were there. By then, the three of them would be in the same school, and it would be more convenient for them to see each other every day.
But the problem is, three years have passed, and Karasuma now has a new idea...
Hatoyama's house, in Keiko Hatoyama's bedroom.
"Ah... So Karasuma-chan, do you want to pursue the path of a movie star in the future?"
After listening to Karasumaru's description, Hatoyama Keiko put down the drawing board in her hand and nodded thoughtfully.
"That's right! I want to go to Hollywood in the future! Be an international superstar! The most popular kind!"
The temperature in Tokyo is a bit low today, and Karasuma seems to be more afraid of the cold. From the moment she entered the house to now, she has been hugging the small stove in Keiko Hatoyama's room and not letting go.
"Why did you suddenly have this idea?" Keiko Hatoyama asked curiously.
It seemed that this was the first time she heard that Karasuma wanted to be an actor.
"Maybe it's related to the case that I went to investigate with me before." The boy beside him replied in time.
The boy also had a rare rest time today. He sat aside and was there.
The case the boy mentioned refers to a murder case among a certain singer group that occurred in Tokyo last month.
This singer group usually conducts concert tours in Japan, but is sometimes invited to participate in various variety shows, film and television shootings, etc. It is considered a multi-faceted artist.
Last month, the group's tour concert happened to be in Tokyo. After seeing the promotional poster, Karasuma was very interested in it, so he ran over to take a look.
By the way, at that time, Karasuma also specially invited the boy and Hatoyama Keiko to go there together.
But at that time, Hatoyama Keiko happened to be going for an examination, and the boy had to deal with an unexpected case temporarily. Therefore, if nothing else happened, she would be the only one to go there in the end.
Then, nothing unexpected happened.
At the end of the concert, one of the singers in the group suddenly fell straight down the stage and died on the spot as he was about to leave.
Then, Karasuma immediately called the police.
Then, the boy who had just finished handling the other case rushed to the scene immediately.
So, the two used this method to attend the concert together...
It was not an overly complicated case. The boy successfully caught the murderer from the scene after a simple investigation.
The murderer was a die-hard fan of another member of the singer group. Because this member had been slandered and suppressed by the murdered member in the group, the murderer secretly sneaked into the scene with the idea of rescuing his idol. The staff poisoned the deceased's drinking water and killed him.
Judging from the complexity of the murder method, the difficulty of this case is not worth mentioning. After the boy arrived at the scene, he solved the case at light speed.
But the point is, during the process of investigation and questioning, the boy inadvertently revealed some of the deeply hidden evils in this group.
Such as overt and covert struggles and bullying between members, various unspoken rules and skin-trading, and even various plagiarism and vicious hot marketing, etc...
It can be said that this small singer group has vividly demonstrated all the nastiness within the film and television industry.
It gave little Karasuma, who was investigating and questioning with the boy at the time, a little bit of a psychological shock.
The boy originally thought that from then on, Karasuma would stay away from these people or things in the film and television industry.
Unexpectedly, not only did she not, but she actually wanted to join in?
The boy didn't understand, but he was a little shocked.
"That's right! It was after I went to see that concert that I decided to become a big star!"
Little Karasuma hugged the stove and nodded her head high.
"Eh..." The boy glanced at her, quite surprised, "It seems that I will prepare a special pair of handcuffs for you in the future."
"Huh? Why?"
"If you break the law one day, you can still use it easily. Remember, you will be lenient if you confess and strict if you resist. Xiaowuwan, you have handled so many cases with me in the past few years. You also know my abilities. Don’t even think about resisting at that time..."
The boy was smiling when he said this. It was obvious that he was joking with Karasuma.
Over the past year or so, the boy's expression has become much more vivid, and he occasionally makes these jokes with people around him.
No, it shouldn't just be said to be more than a year, because whether it is Hatoyama Keiko or Kokarasuma, they have been influencing the boy's behavior intentionally or unintentionally in the past few years, prompting him to slowly undergo this change, but recently The moment finally arrived for a qualitative change.
To be fair, Karasumaru was happy to see a boy who didn't look like a piece of wood.
But she said I was very angry about what the boy said.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Kokarasuma roared, rushed forward and punched the boy's waist.
"How could I become like them?!"
