The assassination incident against Renya Karasuma has passed.
Everything was like ripples on the lake. After the wave passed, it became calm again, as if nothing had happened.
But later they all knew that more turbulent waves were brewing under the calm surface of the lake.
"Little Karasuma."
It was another sunny day in the ward. Keiko Hatoyama was not in the hospital bed as usual. She was sitting in a wheelchair, leaning against the window, looking at the patients walking in the courtyard below from a distance.
"Um?"
On the hospital bed behind her, Karasuma was scowling at the apple in his hand.
She is indeed not good at such delicate things as peeling apples. The whole apple was cut into pits after she cut it several times...
Damn it, why can those wooden hands be so skillful? !
"When will Xiaoqing come over?" Keiko Hatoyama asked.
Just now, sister Keiko suddenly wanted to see Namu for some reason, so she asked her to make a phone call to ask him to come over.
"It should be soon, right? I called him almost fifteen minutes ago. I remember that he didn't seem to be busy this morning. He will probably be here soon..." Xiao Karasuma glanced at the watch on his hand. replied.
"Fifteen minutes ago? That was really fast..."
Keiko Hatoyama thought carefully for a while, seemingly calculating the distance from the Metropolitan Police Department to here, and then nodded slowly.
The decline in her thinking ability has indeed had a great impact on her, but it is okay. After getting used to it, it is not a big problem. At most, she will think slower than normal people.
And because she is a patient, she doesn't have to do anything that would waste time, so she has a lot of time to think...
【Then, let’s do it today...】
"I actually have something to say to you today."
After thinking about it for the last time in her mind, Hatoyama Keiko said this.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Xiao Karasuma finally put down the half-peeled, pitted apple in his hand, raised his head and asked.
She could feel that Hatoyama Keiko's tone suddenly became more solemn, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"that is……"
[Just do what you want...]
"Just some time ago..."
[No matter what happens, I can accompany you to the end. 】
"What happened at the airport..."
In her mind, the words Xiao Qing had said before kept ringing. Hatoyama Keiko seemed to have finally gained some kind of courage. She hesitated and finally spoke.
"Ah..." Karasumaru was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The conflict at the airport happened some time ago. Kokarasuma, who had already guessed some of the inside story on the day of the incident, originally wanted to come to Keiko Hatoyama to ask about the specific situation, but in the end, because Keiko Hatoyama repeatedly Due to the onset of illness, the opportunity to speak was repeatedly missed.
After those few days passed, Karasuma gradually gave up the idea of asking.
Anyway, she just needs to know what's going on. It doesn't matter whether she asks about the specific details. Compared with these, sister Keiko's body is more important...
After such a period of time, she thought that no one would mention this matter again, but she didn't expect that Sister Keiko would take the initiative to mention it today...
"That incident... was actually planned by me..."
While saying these words, Hatoyama Keiko suddenly noticed that in the courtyard below, a familiar police car parked outside the hospital, and a more familiar figure walked out of it and walked quickly towards the building where she was. Coming from the inpatient building.
This figure is naturally Xiaoqing who rushed over after receiving the call from Kokarasuma. The temperature seems to be a bit low today. He is also wearing a police coat. At a glance, he knows that he is coming from the Metropolitan Police Department. of.
【The time is just right...】
Seeing Xiao Qing hurriedly walking through the courtyard, the corners of Hatoyama Keiko's mouth raised slightly.
Xiao Qing is a very self-disciplined person, no matter what he does, he is very organized, but it is precisely because of this that she can easily calculate the time for him to come here...
"I originally wanted to take that opportunity to get rid of the head of the Karasuma family."
As the figure below appeared, Hatoyama Keiko suddenly felt that her originally agitated and uneasy heart suddenly calmed down a lot.
She stared at the figure and said slowly:
"But unfortunately, it failed in the end. Although we can find many excuses to cover up, failure is failure, and this result will not change for any reason.
Although the Japanese public security has since cleaned up many of the black forces secretly cultivated by the Karasuma family in Japan over the past few years, as long as the most important target of the Karasuma family escapes, all of this actually does not mean much... …”
"Sister Keiko, you don't need to tell me this."
Karasuma listened quietly, then sighed softly, and continued to lower his head and compete with the apple in his hand.
"As I said before, I don't have any feelings for the head of the family. There is just a little blood relationship between us... If you have to say it, I actually care more about you than his life or death."
"Thanks……"
The figure in the courtyard disappeared, and he had entered the hospital building.
Hatoyama Keiko also withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Karasumaru behind her, with a smile in her eyes.
"However, what I really want to say today is not just this matter... Karasuma-chan."
Looking at her, Hatoyama Keiko said quietly:
"As for the specific matter of the Karasuma family's desire to cooperate with the Hatoyama family, I shouldn't have told you carefully before, right?"
Karasuma's hand while peeling the apple stopped, and she looked up at Hatoyama Keiko again.
Out of an instinctive intuition, Sister Keiko at this moment made her feel vaguely uneasy.
It's like something bad is about to happen...
But she could never grasp the source of this uneasiness.
"Well, it seems not..." she replied subconsciously.
Indeed not, Hatoyama Keiko had only revealed some to her in an almost suggestive way.
"That's about time."
There were faint sounds of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside.
"actually……"
The sound got closer and closer until it stopped outside the door of this ward.
"What the Karasuma family leader really wants..."
Hatoyama Keiko's gaze went beyond Xiao Karasuma and fell on the door handle that was half turned.
"It's eternal life."
As her words fell, the half-turned door handle suddenly stopped.
Outside the door, Bai Heqing, who was rushing in from the Metropolitan Police Department, suddenly stopped after hearing her words while keeping his hand on the door handle.
Now everyone is here.
【Everything is just right. 】
