Keiko Hatoyama has always been clear that the boy is not really as cold as he appears.

He can actually laugh, and he is also a mentally sound human being who is happy and sad, cares about others, and jokes with friends.

It's just that the bad living environment since he was a child has made him passively form the attitude that always rejects people thousands of miles away on weekdays.

Therefore, when Keiko Hatoyama really saw that the boy was squatting next to his mother's body so calmly, and with such a calm tone, he restored the process of his mother's murder little by little, Keiko Hatoyama's heart was like a knife.

The worst has finally happened.

In an instant, the ruddy flush on her face that was originally caused by excessive exercise instantly turned pale at this moment.

She felt her head suddenly dizzy, and couldn't help but stumble two steps again, this time, fortunately, it was the old butler behind her who stepped in to help her in time.

Two of the detectives in the room noticed the movement behind them, and they looked back and looked at Keiko Hatoyama with a look of surprise on their faces.

But Keiko Hatoyama raised her hand to prevent them from reacting further.

She shook her head slightly, struggling to her feet, and slowly walked to the boy in the room with her back to her, and finally stopped two meters behind him.

In the process, her sad gaze always stayed on the boy's figure.

She watched silently as the boy perfectly restored his mother's death process under the questioning of the surrounding criminal police.

Including how the murderer approached his mother, how he killed, and finally how he gouged out his mother's beautiful eyes......

As he analyzed this, the boy's tone was extremely calm, like a real detective, telling a case that had nothing to do with him.

In the end, when several criminal police officers had already faintly sensed that something was wrong, the boy finally stood up and took his eyes off his mother's body for the first time.

Then, under the shocked gaze of all the uninformed people present, he calmly said that sentence.

"My name is Bai Heqing, and I am a detective assistant who works part-time at a nearby detective office.

The deceased is my mother. ”

And this calm of the boy also ends here.

It was at the same time as he said this that the boy finally saw Keiko Hatoyama, who had been standing behind him for a long time.

At this time, Keiko Hatoyama's eyes had long since lost the initial panic, she just stood behind the boy, looking at him tenderly, but in the depths of this gentleness, there was still a sadness hidden.

Keiko Hatoyama's appearance seemed to be completely beyond the boy's expectations, and for the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Then, the calm on the boy's face that had been strong quickly collapsed under the gaze of Keiko Hatoyama.

"Keiko ......"

Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes, and the boy looked at her in a daze, his mouth opening repeatedly, and finally he only choked up and said a word.

"She's ...... Dead"

He stood still, crying almost uncontrollably.

And Keiko Hatoyama didn't say anything, just stepped forward and hugged him gently.

Keiko Hatoyama has also asked more than once why disasters always like to beclose those who are already miserable enough.

But Keiko Hatoyama never thought deeply about this question, because she was always afraid that the answer to the question might be cruel.

It's not that disasters always befall people who are suffering, but that people who are suffering are often in a fragile environment, and it only takes a small accident to easily crush them.

Since that day, the boy's heart has been broken, and it is only because of the presence of Keiko Hatoyama that he is pinched back little by little.

“……”

After that day, Kokarsuma followed Karasuma Renya back to the United States.

The killer of the boy's mother was also not caught.

The murderer was very shrewd, on the day of his murder, the nearby residents did not go out because of the snow, there were no pedestrians on the streets at that time, and at the same time, the murderer also carefully cleaned up all the traces he may have left at Baihe's house, leaving no clues for the police to follow.

Even the only newspapers used by the killer to get close to the boy's mother were eventually investigated by the police, who had robbed a newspaper seller after knocking him unconscious.

According to the newspaper seller's recollection, he was in a coma after being attacked from behind by the murderer, so he did not see the murderer's appearance and body characteristics.

Even the last possible footprints of the killer were hidden in the snow because the boy's mother was found dead by neighbors too late.

The police have also tried to find similar cases in the surrounding neighborhoods as a way to identify the killer.

However, this seems to be the first time the killer has committed a crime, and the police have never encountered a similar homicide that would gouge out his eyes before, and there is no way to start it.

There were no eyewitnesses, no clues were left behind, and there were no similar cases......

In this way, as time went by, the chances of the case being solved became smaller and smaller, and it was finally shelved by the police......

And after the boy learned the news, he didn't react excessively, just said calmly.

"They've done their best."

Life goes on, and the pain of this incident seems to be over.

But Keiko Hatoyama knows that this is not the case.

Since then, the boy has been more engaged than ever in his detective assistant work, and his reasoning ability is far beyond ordinary people, so that the boy gradually enters the police's field of vision, and also into the eyes of the old man Hatoyama.

In fact, the relationship between Keiko Hatoyama and the boy, Old Man Hatoyama has always been clear, after all, it is his only granddaughter, how could he not pay attention to this?

It's just because Keiko Hatoyama has always been very measured in this regard, and there has never been a situation of spending the night outside, and every time he goes out, he will be accompanied by the old housekeeper, that he opens one eye and closes the other eye and acquiesces.

In addition, after a little investigation, the old man Hatoyama found that the kid who mixed with his granddaughter was still a diligent and studious species?

Although the boy's mother had some bad rumors in the past, the boy himself was resilient and began to share the pressure on the family at a young age.

And no matter how hard the mother and son lived, they never asked his granddaughter for a little money?

This kind of character, as long as it does not deteriorate in the future, it is completely fine to be friends.

And this idea of the old man Hatoyama has gradually changed as the boy gradually shows far beyond ordinary talents in the detection of the case.

The old man suddenly found that this kid seemed to be more suitable to join their Hatoyama family and be the successor of the old man in the police world than just being a friend of his granddaughter?
