Chapter 187: A Gentle Confrontation

The elderly policeman walked out of Koji's office with a childhood photo of Koji and Haruko. After entering the elevator room, he still stared at Xiaozhi's face for a long time, as if he was making a comparison in his heart.

That photo was originally a back that was secretly photographed in childhood. However, on the way to take pictures, Koji and Haruko looked behind them in unison, so they took a clear picture of their faces. Why do you suddenly look back when you walk well? I guess I heard something strange behind me.

After so many years, Xiaozhi really can't remember the specific details. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at a loss, his mind flashing with fragments of memories he was trying to forget. He suddenly envied Haruko, who didn't seem to remember anything now, so she could easily forget all the past.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Impermanence made an appointment with Koji to go to the hospital to see how Haruko was doing. After the two arrived at the hospital, they went straight to the top floor. This floor is an exclusive area for the interior, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. In the corridor, there are security personnel on duty 24 hours a day, and generally only the Xue family themselves will enter and leave here.

Koji and Impermanence both walked into Haruko's hospital room. Haruko looked quiet today, wearing a hospital gown with blue stripes on a white background, sitting in a rocking chair in front of the window and basking in the sun. Haruko's expression was dull, her eyes were not shiny, and her mouth was slightly open.

Koji slowly walked up to Haruko's side, crouched down and smiled at Haruko. Haruko's hair is cut into short hair that reaches her ears, her skin is too pale, and her big round eyes look hollow and confused.

Hi Haruko, are you okay? Koji raised his hand, tentatively patted Haruko's shoulder, and said with a smile.

Haruko heard Koji's words, slowly turned her head, and looked at Koji's face intently. Haruko's cheeks didn't have a trace of expression, and she couldn't see the joy, anger and sorrow in her heart. Like a child who knows nothing, she ventures into another planet, unable to accurately judge and perceive her surroundings for a while.

In Xiaozhi's heart, he suddenly felt a sense of desolation. Koji couldn't bear to bother Haruko anymore, so he slowly stood up and walked towards Impermanence who was standing by the door.

Impermanence has seen Haruko's state, but he doesn't want to believe that Haruko has really gone insane. Impermanence raises his suspicions about Koji, and he suspects Haruko for faking her insanity in order to win Koji's sympathy, so that he can stay by Koji's side forever in this way.

When Xiao Zhi heard the impermanence of speculation, his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. If Haruko really uses this way to try to tie herself up, it's a little too hard, right? Isn't it worth the loss?

Impermanence reminds Xiaozhi not to forget that most women are emotional animals. As long as they can get the man they love, they will do whatever it takes, let alone the cost of sacrifice. Haruko may be because she loves Koji too much, so she will go crazy and can't extricate herself.

Koji muttered, does Haruko really love me, or just want to possess me? Haruko's possessiveness is very strong, no less than a man's domineering in this regard. Haruko's hatred for that Mikoku stepfather could be because he possessed Haruko's mother?

Xiaoji looked at impermanence and whispered, since Haruko loves me, why did she give that photo to the police? This kind of suicidal madness is also very bad for herself?

Impermanence lit a cigar and paced to the door of the hospital room, inhaling hard. He sneered, Xiaoji, don't forget where Haruko is made! In the TV series you watched when you were a child, did you have any impression of the spirit of bushido in Haruko's land?

Xiaozhi said disdainfully, of course I have an impression, and the most impressive thing is suicide by caesarean section. After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, he looked at the weird smile on Impermanence's face, and his heart couldn't help but tighten. Haruko, she won't be so decisive, right? She's still a little girl.

Impermanence snorted coldly and said, Isn't Haruko not decisive enough for you? You don't have any more fantasies about Haruko, okay? Haruko was born to be a devil, and perhaps the blood flowing in her veins was a liquid full of sin. She was able to destroy her loved ones around her at the beginning, and of course she can destroy you now!

Xiao Zhi's heart sank, and his brows locked solemnly. Uncle Chang, why do I hear footsteps, as if they are coming towards our ward? Xiaozhi alertly reminded Impermanence, his eyes looked at the intercom in Impermanence's hand, and it was strange that he had not received a report from the security personnel.

Impermanence looked at the intercom in his hand in wonder, and said in a low voice, it can't be the old policeman who suddenly attacked, right? Therefore, it is inconvenient for the security personnel to report to us immediately. Sure enough, after a short while, a voice came from the impermanence intercom, Brother Impermanence, there is a distinguished guest visiting!

Koji and Impermanence glanced back at each other and nodded tacitly to each other. Impermanence was a little angry, and said, are they a little too much? Don't even say hello to us, just come? Isn't this a clear refusal to believe us? I think that if you don't give them a little more color, they will do something more excessive next, so it is better to tell them to retreat!

Xiao Zhi waved his hand lightly at impermanence, and said in a low voice, Uncle Chang, if you can't bear it, it will be a big mess, we must not act rashly. They are investigating old accounts, and it is an old case that has already been decided. Even if they want to overturn the case, I am afraid that the pressure from within them will not allow them to be so willful. After all, there are all aspects of the interest chain involved, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

Koji gestured into the room. Impermanence understood, followed Koji to the ward, and pretended to be watching Haruko's condition. In an instant, a steady and neat footsteps, from far and near, quickly stopped in front of the door of the ward.

The knock on the door sounded softly, soothing but not urgent. Impermanence personally stepped forward to open the door, and when he looked outside the door, there were two familiar policemen, an old man and a young man, standing. Impermanence quickly smiled enthusiastically and bowed down to let the two policemen into the house.

Xiaozhi also greeted him, everyone exchanged a few words of greeting, and sat down on the sofa outside. Impermanence walked out the door and ordered tea and bright fruit to be served. Only then did he sit down beside Xiaoji.

The elderly policeman said, I'm really sorry, I just went to disturb Mr. Xue in the morning, and I came over again in the afternoon. We were afraid of affecting Mr. Xue's work, so we didn't say hello to Mr. Xue in advance this afternoon, I hope Mr. Xue doesn't mind.

Koji handed the two guests cigarettes and lit them himself, saying with a smile. You're so polite that I'm embarrassed. Gentlemen policemen, they are on official business and do not need our permission, and it happened that this afternoon we all wanted to come and see Haruko.

The two policemen smiled and said thank you. Then, the elderly policeman said, after we left Mr. Xue in the morning, we contacted the doctor here by the way and asked how Haruko's condition was? Whether simple conversations are acceptable. After learning that Haruko's condition was stable, we dared to come over. Mainly because of that photo, I want to ask Miss Haruko to identify it, but I don't know what happened to her memory?

Xiaozhi said respectfully, if there is anything you need us to do in terms of work, just tell us, and we will definitely cooperate. Since you want to talk to Haruko, then please go find Haruko, and we will sit here and wait for you!

The old policeman, after listening to Xiaozhi's words, showed a grateful look on his face, and his eyes were full of a little uneasiness. He picked up the tea bowl in front of him, took a big sip, and said with a smile, Then we are welcome! After saying that, he and the young policeman got up one after another and walked towards the balcony where Haruko was.

Koji and Impermanence sat motionless, meeting glances at each other for a moment, and then looking at the two policemen almost at the same time. I saw them walk up to Haruko with gentle steps and politely greet Haruko.

Haruko heard the voice and turned her head hesitantly, looking at the two policemen in front of her in confusion. Haruko's expression was still stiff and stiff, and her eyes were dull and dull. There was no pandering smile on his face, and no expression of disgust.

The old policeman took out a photo from his handbag and gently handed it to Haruko. He lowered his voice and said softly, Haruko, please take a closer look at this photo, can you tell us who the little boy in the photo is? You'd better recall, was this little boy with you that day?

Haruko unexpectedly took the photo silently, and Mu Ran stared at the photo for a long time, but he was always silent and didn't say a word. Haruko suddenly stretched out her smooth fingers and stroked the face of the little boy in the photo inch by inch, and her eyes suddenly flashed with smart light.

The old policeman kept staring at Haruko's face, carefully observing Haruko's reaction in every detail. He saw that Haruko seemed to be touched, and hurriedly spoke to inspire Haruko. Haruko, look at our house, is there the person in the photo?

Haruko's dark eyes blinked a few times when she heard the policeman's words. She fixed her gaze on the photo again, and her cold eyes seemed to become a little more eager. These subtle changes in emotions are particularly imperceptible, but they are seen by the careful and professional old policemen one by one.

The old policeman almost chased after him, did the little boy in the photo change a lot when he grew up? If you meet that boy on the street, will you be able to recognize him at a glance?

Haruko's round eyes were wide open, and her black pupils rolled from side to side, surging like a tide. She slowly raised her head and tried to reach forward, looking in the direction of Koji.

The old policeman's face instantly showed a look of surprise. The little policeman excitedly patted the back of the old policeman's hand and said with joy, it's really good! Miss Haruko, she still has a memory, and her spirit is also sober!

The old policeman glanced at the young policeman dissatisfied. The little policeman with an excited face immediately restrained his happy smile and lowered his head in embarrassment.

The old policeman leaned a little closer to Haruko and tapped Xiaoji on the photo with his thick fingers. He asked seductively, "Was the little boy in this photo really with you that day?" What did you talk about that day?
