The photo album turned over again, showing photos from the hospital ward.
The girl with reddish hair and pupils had her hair tied low, and she was sitting on the hospital bed with a haggard expression but a smile on her face. She looked sideways at Mizuno Nobuma, who was holding a newborn baby next to her, and Mizuno Nobuma had a chin. He had some beards, his face and expression looked a little more mature, he carefully and awkwardly held the baby with red pupils in his arms, and smiled tenderly at his wife on the bed.
On the same page, there is a photo of a girl sitting on a hospital bed, looking down at the baby in her arms, and a photo of the baby being a little older and being held by Mizuno Nobuma for a family photo.
Mizuno's eyes turned red as he looked at it. When he saw the mature-looking and happy-smiling Mizuno Nobuzhin in the photo, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it before turning to the next page.
A photo of a child with red eyes sitting on the ground playing with building blocks...
Mizuno Nobuma squatted on the ground and stretched out his hands, guiding the child to stumble towards his photo...
The child is a little older, and there are photos of Mizuno Nobuma letting the child ride on his neck when the family of three was traveling...
In the garden, there are photos of a five- or six-year-old child covered in mud and a couple giggling...
Photos of seven or eight-year-old children trying to ride a bicycle...
In these photos, the old feeling gradually becomes new, the children grow up little by little, and the faces of the couple become more and more mature, but both of them are smiling happily without exception.
Especially Mizuno Nobuzhin in the photo, both the way he purses his lips implicitly when he smiles and the happy gleam in his eyes, all overlap with the smile of his son in Mizuno Oo's memory.
Mizuno Xiong lowered his head and wiped away his tears before continuing to read.
On the last two pages of the photo album, another baby with purple eyes appeared, also with photos in the hospital ward. This time, not only the couple were in the photo, but also an eight or nine-year-old baby with his head thrust into the woman's arms appeared beside the hospital bed. Baby looking boy.
Feimo waited quietly for Mizuno to finish reading the photos.
The color of his eyes is similar to that of Anko Koizumi, except that his pupils are as red as blood, while Koizumi Anko’s pupils are darker. It’s not surprising that they are relatives, plus Sawada wants to use purple pupils for activities. Hiroki, purple pupil is rare, but if the mother has red pupil bloodline, it is possible to give birth to a child with purple pupil. Anyway, both pupil colors are rare, and the issue of inheritance is complicated, and no one can verify whether it is true or not. There is a correlation, which is much more reasonable than 'two black pupils give birth to a purple pupil and a red pupil'.
Therefore, it is more appropriate for him and Hiroki Sawada to be half "hanging out" in the Koizumi family.
The last photo is a family portrait of four people.
Mizuno turned back further and found that the next two pages were blank. He quickly reached the end of the album, and suddenly felt a sense of loss.
Fei Mo Jian Mizuno stared at the photo album and said, "According to the agreement, the couple died unexpectedly shortly after Xiao Shu was born, so the photos only ended there."
"It's really like a dream," Mizuno murmured, flipping the photo album gently with his loose right hand, turning the album to the beginning, looking down at his son with a smile on his face in the photo, "A lethargy. A dream that I am willing to indulge in and not want to wake up from.”
Feimo: "..."
The photos are all synthesized... Forget it, let old man Mizuno indulge in it for a while longer.
Mizuno looked through the album from beginning to end again, wiping tears from time to time. After flipping to the end, he adjusted his mood, closed the album, raised his head and apologized to Feimo, "Sorry, I lost my temper. These photos... …It’s synthetic, right?”
"That's right, but with the current level of those appraisal institutions, it is impossible to detect synthetic traces, and the storage years of the detected photos will also match the time they should have." Fei Momi Mizuno calmed down and looked up. The photo album said, "As for the woman's identity, she was born in the Koizumi family in Tokyo, Japan. It is a mysterious family. The family currently has a seventeen-year-old cousin and niece living in Tokyo..."
Mizuno thought of the happy couple in the photo and couldn't help but sigh, "She is a good girl. Can her identity... stand up to inspection?"
"Some people in the United States may have an impression of her. After all, she is a beautiful girl. Their impression of her is probably that of a beautiful woman living in the suburbs. As for whether she got married and when she died, those people may not know much about it. Those who know will agree with us." Feimo paused, "As for the Koizumi family in Tokyo, no matter who asks, they will admit her existence, and they can also say something about her husband and her family. It’s about the two kids.”
That woman was actually created by Koizumi Anko to deceive others when she went to the United States to collect magic materials in her early years. Because she was worried that she would encounter inconvenience as a child while collecting materials, Koizumi Anko specially adjusted her appearance at that time so that she could see her. She looks like a young woman in her twenties, and her hair and eye color are darker than her original hair and eye color, with only a faint hint of dark red.
In the past two years, Koizumi Hongzi also used this identity to perform activities in the United States. In order to appear natural, her face was also adjusted to look seven or eight years older.
If someone really has the ability to rely on vague clues to trace the place where Koizumi Hongzi lived, others will only give some uncertain answers.
'I seem to have an impression... I must have encountered him when I went home for a few days in a row...'
'I seem to be living in a house in the suburbs... Are you married? I do not know about this……'
"Child? Maybe, although she doesn't look like it... That house is too remote, we don't go there often..."
Since in the story, Mizuno Nobuma decided to remain anonymous and keep a low profile, it is normal. It is not surprising that he lives with his family in a remote place and is not enthusiastic towards strangers.
The couple couldn't find a friend who knew them well, so they seemed suspicious? No, Joshua has some believers in the United States, including gangsters and successful people, who can serve as friends of the couple.
"That's good." Mizuno Xiong did not ask how Feimo was able to collude with so many people and attributed it to the 'power of the gods.' "Although even I, who know the inside story, can't help but suspect that this is With everything Ashin has gone through, it is even less likely that others will doubt it, but if it can withstand investigation, it will be safer after all."
"Then, let me tell you what happened after you investigated the whereabouts of Mizuno Nobuya this year." Feimo looked at the little Sawada Hiroki who was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. "Her name is Koizumi Yuki. Mizuno Nobuma and her family are There was no contact, but she had more or less contact with the Koizumi family in Tokyo. After the couple passed away, the Koizumi family in Tokyo found out about it and asked people to take Xiaoshu to Tokyo and take care of it temporarily. The inheritance procedures need to be completed. After staying in the United States for a while, the detective you commissioned found that Xiaoshu had been taken to Tokyo when he investigated us. You asked the detective to tell me about his father's life experience. The two of us were talking to each other. After confirmation and discussion, I will go back to Japan to meet you, and come to Kyoto, where I will stay at the Oike Hotel and wait for you."
Let Hiroki Sawada be "taken back to Japan first". First, it is more reasonable. After the couple passed away, if the woman has relatives, she should take care of the two children. The eldest son needs to go through the procedures in the United States, so he should be about one year old. The child was first sent to Japan to help take care of it. Secondly, it also corresponded to what Chi Feichi told Conan and others before, "My friend entrusted me to take care of the child at home." That friend was Koizumi Hongzi, and she once went to pick up Sawada Hiroki. The person is also Koizumi Hongzi's housekeeper, so he can correspond completely, and he can also help Sawada Hiroki to find out his identity.
Sawada Hiroki will definitely use his human body to play out more than once in the future. If Conan and the others dig deeper, they will be able to have corresponding identities to deal with it.
Xiaoshu has an elder brother, mother’s niece, grandfather, uncle, and a large number of relatives. His deceased parents also have a bunch of friends in the United States, so no one who hears this will doubt it.
Just like the owner said, if fifty people out of one hundred people are telling the same lie, it will make people doubt whether the lie is true. If there are one hundred people out of one hundred people telling the same lie, the lie will become The truth, and in the life of a human being, there are never more than a hundred people with close relatives, friends who know each other, and casual acquaintances with deep impressions. They only need thirty people telling the same lie for the lie to spread. Others there come true.
"I was entrusted by the Koizumi family to pick up Xiaoshu who came to Kyoto with their high school girl. In the afternoon, I took Xiaoshu to Mizuno's house. I made an appointment with you to let you see Xiaoshu first," Enkai He took the words with a smile, "After that, I will come here with you to see Xiao Mo... If anyone asks, we can just say this."
Mizuno thought of the two entry records with different times and knew that even the entry times of the two children, 'Xiao Mo' and 'Xiao Shu', had been taken into consideration. He nodded, "I understand."
"We can speak Kansai accent," Feimo looked at the little boy Sawada Hiroki again, "However, considering that my father is anonymous and will deliberately conceal the Kansai accent, and my mother was born in Tokyo, so we only speak Kanto. This It shouldn’t be a problem at all, and it will also make life easier for us after we return to Tokyo. I don’t want people to always notice me because of my speech problems.”
Moreover, Sawada Hiroki has been in contact with people like Conan before, and his speech does not have a Kansai accent at all. It is only reasonable to use this excuse to make up for it.
Mizuno was a little surprised, "Are you going to Tokyo next?"
A girl's chuckle suddenly came from the balcony outside the living room.
After the sound of the door and window being pulled, Koizumi Anko reached out to lift the fully closed curtains and walked into the room. Although she was wearing a sweater, jacket and short skirt that high school girls would wear, her long red hair and burgundy eyes were particularly distinctive. Liangyan looked at Mizuno who turned to look back, with a proud smile on his lips, "Don't be so surprised, I have been helping you relax on the balcony. It would be bad if someone lurked on the balcony and overheard what you were discussing. Yes, and of course our children from the Koizumi family will go to Tokyo to live with me."
Mizuno Yu: "!"
【ヘ! 】
He already had the feeling that his daughter-in-law's parents were competing with him for custody of his grandson. To be specific, he was very unhappy with this arrangement, and he was also unhappy with Koizumi Anko. No matter how he looked at this girl, he always had a smile on his face. A sense of arrogance and arrogance, which is far worse than the impression given by his 'daughter-in-law' in the photo.
If he hadn't repeatedly reminded himself, 'Don't get too involved in the drama,' and 'These two children are essentially two weird gods, and he can't control where these two children go next,' he would have really wanted to break up with this red-haired girl. For a moment - these two children should stay at their Mizuno home!
