After getting the key clues provided by Okino Mina, the arrest of the prisoner doctor became very simple.
The police quickly investigated all the ship entry and exit records of that port on that day, and locked the only cargo ship bound for the United States.
Once you determine your goals, everything falls into place.
In this era, the flight from Japan to the United States takes at least ten days and a half, so although the police were a few days late, they still had time.
Through cooperation with Interpol and the US police, the police launched a successful maritime raid on the freighter.
As they had expected, there were indeed many illegal people hiding on this cargo ship who wanted to smuggle themselves from Japan to the United States, including the prisoner doctor.
The only regret is that the prisoner doctor committed suicide. At the moment the freighter was stopped, he seemed to have guessed his next fate and committed suicide by swallowing a bullet with the pistol hidden in his body.
And his death undoubtedly sank many details of Hatoyama Keiko's murder into the sea.
Why on earth did he murder Keiko Hatoyama? Was he ordered to do so? Or a crime of passion?
Was Hatoyama Keiko still conscious at that time? If so, what method did he use to get Keiko Hatoyama to cooperate with him to complete the murder?
If not, then what happened to the action of Hatoyama Keiko pulling the quilt that the criminal police saw at the door that night?
With the doctor's suicide, no one can answer all these questions.
"..."
A few days later, there was Keiko Hatoyama’s funeral.
Not many people were publicly invited to the funeral. Even so, the identity of the Hatoyama family was here after all, and there were still many people who came to express their condolences.
Sharon also participated in the funeral and watched Bai Heqing receive everyone who came to express condolences as a host, and was busy until nightfall.
Suddenly, she seemed unable to understand the meaning of this behavior.
For those who have just lost a loved one, they should have a good rest at this time, try to adjust their mood, and get over the sadness as soon as possible to welcome the new future...
However, because of the existence of this kind of funeral, not only do the grieving people have little time to adjust, but they also have to pretend to be strong and put on an "I'm fine" expression to greet the mourners.
That's all. What makes Sharon feel even more disgusting is that most of these people are not really here to express their condolences at all. They are just using this name to show off themselves or to be with Hatoyama. Make "reasonable" contacts with others, try to achieve cooperation in certain aspects, and earn certain benefits...
After realizing this clearly, Sharon felt a queasy feeling in her heart. She suddenly wanted to take a gun and kill all these people.
But no.
Because this kind of thing will not be of any benefit to Shirakawa Qing, the Hatoyama family, or the dead sister Keiko.
That's right, even if they don't sincerely condolences to you, even if they don't care about you at all, even if they still have a shy face and desperately want to discuss business or political affairs with you at the funeral of their loved ones. , and tried to use this opportunity to gain benefits from you...
But you still have to put on a smiling and friendly expression.
With the death of Keiko Hatoyama, at her funeral, Sharon finally had a deep understanding of one of the most real aspects of the world for the first time.
And what makes her sad the most is Bai Heqing who has to stand at the front to greet these hypocritical people.
The more Bai Heqing behaved flawlessly in this process, the sadder Sharon felt in her heart.
At such a big funeral, how many people really mourned the person lying in the coffin?
Suddenly, Sharon felt her innocence and childishness again.
She is actually thinking seriously about such a problem that no one else would even think about?
She is indeed not suitable to be the heir to the Karasuma family...
"..."
Sharon stayed at the funeral until late at night, and Bai Heqing also stayed.
After leaving the hustle and bustle of the day, he was sitting alone on that chair, staring intently but expressionless, looking at the coffin in front of him that seemed to contain Hatoyama Keiko's life.
"Officer Shirakawa, I always feel like I'm about to die..."
Sharon stood slightly behind. Beside her, a maid from the Hatoyama family suddenly stepped forward and said.
"Are you..." Sharon turned to look at the maid with doubtful eyes.
This maid looked familiar to her. She should have served at Hatoyama's house all year round. She had also seen her busy figure during the funeral during the day.
It's just the maid's familiar tone that puzzled her. We don't seem to know each other, right?
"It's me, Okino Mina."
Seeing her confusion, the "maid" stretched out her hand and gently pulled her face, explaining:
"After all, I wasn't invited, and it's not easy for me to come in openly, so I can only borrow the identity of this little maid... Tsk, I was really exhausted during the day. Don't look at those big shots all well-dressed. Their ability to create garbage is no weaker than others... It's too far off topic."
After making some remarks, Okino Mina glanced at Shirakawa Kiyo, who was sitting in front, and whispered to Sharon:
"That guy is not in good condition. Why don't you go up and comfort him quickly?"
"I……"
Sharon was a little hesitant. Of course she wanted to go up and comfort her, but she also thought that it might be better to let him sit there quietly for a while...
"Well, in short, you can just measure it yourself."
As if seeing through her inner thoughts, Okino Mina patted her shoulder.
"I think that at this time, men need a warm embrace more than letting men continue to sink alone."
After saying that, Okino Mina turned around and left.
"Stop talking, I'm going back. I was originally worried that the guy wouldn't be able to withstand the blow, so I wanted to take a look. If I had known that I had a good friend like you with me, I wouldn't have come over... Tsk, a whole The heavens are being summoned here and there, and my bones are all exhausted... Goodbye."
After waving her hand, Okino Mina's figure disappeared into the night.
"Thanks……"
After thanking her in a low voice, Sharon returned her gaze to Bai Heqing in front of her.
【Is it sinking...】
She bit her lip, lowered her steps and walked forward, sitting next to Bai Heqing.
During this process, his eyes did not shift at all, and he was still staring at the coffin in front of him, as if he was in a daze.
He has been doing this regularly since Keiko Hatoyama passed away.
"Those people during the day are really annoying..."
Not knowing where to start, Sharon first found a topic that she thought would resonate most with the two of them.
