Chapter 61: Clarification of the Reason
When Mieko returned to the hospital room, I carefully placed the sake crockpot in my hand on the table and sat down next to her. I'm going to tell her more about it right now.
I took a deep breath, breathing rapidly, and rubbed my hands nervously, but I didn't know where to start when the words came to my mouth, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart.
After Mieko wiped away her tears, I swallowed my saliva, nervously put my hand on my thigh, and then glanced at Mieko's fair and haggard face.
My voice trembled, "Keiko, there is one thing that must be told to you as it is, and it may be difficult for you to accept it, but no matter what, I think you should have the right to know all this." ”
After listening to my words, Mieko glanced at me and said softly, "Mr. Long, I know that it is difficult to find my mother, because we have also searched for her by various means for more than 20 years and have not been able to find her, and it is really difficult for you to find her in this week's time. So I'm not surprised that you didn't find her. ”
After listening to Keiko Perfect's words, it dawned on me that she thought I hadn't found her mother.
After all, it makes sense for her to think so, because I didn't bring any middle-aged women to see her except for a crockpot.
Think about it, how could she have thought that her mother had become a ghost, and the ghost was attached to this crockpot in front of her desk?
I shook my head, let out a long sigh, and whispered to Mieko, "No, Keiko, I've found your mother, and I've talked to her several times. ”
As soon as Mieko heard me say this, she immediately stood up excitedly, and her seductive eyes widened, and her eyes were full of surprise and excitement. She gasped for air, breathing heavily, looking extremely nervous, and her voice trembled, "Really...... Mr. Long, are you right? You're not kidding me. ”
I paused and said, "Really, I've really met her already." ”
Mieko said excitedly: "Then where is she now?" Why didn't you bring her to me? ”
I looked at Mieko with a anxious look, and I couldn't help but feel sad. I breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "This matter needs me to start from the beginning, it is very strange, I am afraid that you and your father will be difficult to accept for a while, because your mother is ...... She is completely different now than before, and I hope you can be fully mentally prepared when you meet her. ”
Mieko hurriedly said: "Then you hurry up and explain the matter now, what is going on, why didn't you bring her back to see us." ”
I stood up, looked around the door, and then reached out and closed part of the door, which would have been considered ill-intentioned in the eyes of the average person, and the men in black who were guarding the door looked at me with their eyes, and at that moment I felt like an angry pack of wolves, staring at me deadly.
I'm not a person who cares much about other people's thoughts, so I ignore their expressions, and in order to make them even angrier, I simply close the other side of the door shut.
When Mieko saw this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she quickly sat up straight, staring at me with an extremely serious expression.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, thinking that even she thought of me as ill-intentioned.
I sat down in my chair, cleared my throat, and said, "Keiko, your mother is not actually missing, do you know why you haven't found her all along?" ”
Mieko looked at me, reached out and gently brushed her long hair, frowned, and said, "Not missing?" Then why didn't she come to us for more than 20 years? ”
I scratched my hair and said, "Because there's no way for her to come to see you?" ”
Mieko asked, "Why can't you come and see us?" ”
I lost my voice and said, "Because ...... Because she's not human anymore. ”
After Mieko listened to my words, she quickly stood up, glared at me, and then waved her hand and said, "Mr. Long, stop joking with Keiko, please tell me where she is!" I'm going to send someone to fetch her right now. ”
I was stunned, leaned up to her, and said softly, "Keiko, I'm not joking with you, the reason why you didn't find her is entirely because she is already dead......
After Mieko heard my words, her body suddenly shook violently, and she stared at me with her eyes.
I paused and continued: "She was raped and killed by an American traffic policeman during an outing, and after the American traffic policeman killed your mother, in order not to leave traces of the crime, he burned your mother's body and buried it in a mass grave on a barren mountain. I have seen your mother's ghost twice, the first time in her grave. ”
Mieko squatted on the ground and cried bitterly, her voice trembling, "Impossible...... This is absolutely impossible, how can there be ghosts when people die. You're lying to me, you must be lying to me......"
I half-crouched on the ground, facing her, and sighed, "It's true, it's all true, you have to accept this fact." Your mother has really been killed by that American traffic policeman. ”
Mieko is essentially an extremely simple person, and she trusts others very easily. She looked at me with a serious look, knowing that I didn't look like I was lying to her at all.
I handed her a tissue from the table and comforted her by patting her on the shoulder.
I faced her and said, "Don't cry, I've brought your mother's ghost with me." ”
Mieko quickly stood up, looked around, and exclaimed, "Where?" Where is it? Where did you place her ghost? ”
I pointed to the black crockpot on the table and glanced at her.
Mieko walked up to the sake crockpot in fear, slowly picked it up, and looked the sake crockpot up and down carefully.
She lost her voice and said, "Is my mother's ghost really in here?" ”
I nodded heavily at her, and said, "Yes, your mother's ghost is in there." ”
Mieko shook her body and asked slowly, "How can I get my mother's ghost to come out to see me?" ”
I replied, "Only when it is completely dark and there is no light can I open the lid of the crockpot to release her ghost." ”
Mieko said softly, "It's still a while before the night, Mr. Ryu, can you tell me why my mother never came to see us after she became a ghost?" ”
I smiled wryly, "She actually wanted to come to see you for a long time, but then because she didn't have a physical body, no one helped her bring the ghost to you, so she never came." It wasn't until recently that she got a treasure from the underworld that she was able to come and see you at night. ”
Mieko whimpered, "I see...... I see, no wonder I haven't found ...... after more than 20 years of searching."
Mieko wiped away her undried tears and asked in a whimpering voice, "By the way, Mr. Long, do you know who that American traffic police officer is, and why is he so ruthless to kill my mother." ”
I blinked and said, "You know this American traffic policeman, she is Johnson who lives across the street from your house." ”
Mieko heard me say this, suddenly stopped crying, and quickly got up from the ground. Lost his voice and said: "How can it be...... Will it be him...... Mr. Long, have you investigated clearly! ”
I looked at Mieko solemnly and said, "Your mother told me about this matter herself, so I don't think it should be false." And didn't you notice that every time he saw you, he was so frightened that he looked like he had seen a ghost? That's all because you look too much like your mother, who is a thief and is naturally afraid of you. ”
Mieko sighed: "I don't know people but don't know my heart, I really can't imagine that a dignified American police officer would do such a beastly thing, I must avenge my mother, send him to prison, and punish him severely with the law." ”
I shrugged my shoulders and smiled wryly, "What proof do you have that he killed your mother?" ”
Mieko raised her eyebrows and asked me, "Do you have any good ways to get him to confess his guilt?" ”
I replied, "I came back with three people, one of whom was a colonel of the FBI, and the other was Johnson, the culprit who killed your mother." They are waiting for me at the entrance of the hospital now, you can rest assured, Johnson will definitely be responsible for his crimes, he will definitely be severely punished by the law, you don't have to worry about this. It's your mother who really worries you, because your mother ...... She...... She has become a ghost, and her humanity has completely changed. I'm afraid she's going to be a bloodthirsty devil......"
