The assassination of Karasuma Renya has passed.

Everything was like ripples on the surface of the lake, and after the waves had passed, it was calm again, as if nothing had happened.

But then they all knew that even more turbulent waves were brewing beneath the calm surface of the lake.

"Kokarasuma."

In the ward, it was another sunny day, and Keiko Hatoyama was not in the hospital bed as usual, she sat in a wheelchair, leaned against the window, and watched the patients who were walking in the courtyard below.

"Huh?"

And on the hospital bed behind her, Karasuma was frowning at the apple in his hand.

She is really not good at such delicate things as peeling apples, and this whole apple has been cut into potholes by her several knives......

Damn, why is that wooden hand so skillful?!

"Xiaoqing, when is he going to come over?" Keiko Hatoyama asked.

Just now, Sister Keiko, for some reason, suddenly wanted to see the wood, and asked her to make a call to call him.

"It should be soon, right? I called him almost fifteen minutes ago, and I remember that he didn't seem to have any busy business this morning, and he probably was about to arrive......" Karasuma replied as he glanced at his watch.

"Fifteen minutes ago? That's really fast......"

Keiko Hatoyama thought carefully for a moment, as if calculating the distance from the Metropolitan Police Department to here, and then nodded slowly.

The decline in thinking ability has indeed had a great impact on her, but it's okay, after getting used to it, it's not a big problem, at most, it's just that when she thinks, it's slower than normal.

And because she's a patient, she doesn't have to do anything that would waste her time, so she has a lot of time to think......

[So, let's do it today......]

"I actually have something to say to you today."

After thinking about it for the last time in her mind, Keiko Hatoyama spoke.

"Huh? What words? ”

Kokarasuma finally put down the half-peeled, pitted apple in his hand and looked up and asked.

She could feel that Keiko Hatoyama's tone suddenly became more solemn, which made her feel a little uneasy.

"It's ......"

[Do what you think......]

"It's ...... some time ago"

[No matter what happens, I can accompany you to the end. 】

"That incident at the airport ......"

In her mind, the words that Xiaoqing had said before kept ringing, and Keiko Hatoyama seemed to have finally gained some kind of courage, she hesitated, and finally opened her mouth.

"Ah......h

The conflict at the airport was already some time ago.,On the day of that incident, I had already guessed some inside information.,I immediately wanted to come to Hatoyama Keiko to ask about the specific situation.,But in the end, because of Hatoyama Keiko's recurrent illness, he repeatedly missed the opportunity to speak.。

After a few days, Karasuma gradually gave up the idea of asking.

Anyway, she just knows what's going on, and the specific questions are actually the same, compared to these, or Keiko's sister's body is more important......

Originally, after such a period of time, she thought that no one would mention this matter anymore, but she didn't expect that Sister Keiko would take the initiative to mention it today......

"That thing...... Actually, I planned it......"

At the same time as saying this, Keiko Hatoyama suddenly noticed that in the courtyard below, a familiar police car was parked outside the hospital, and a more familiar figure walked out of it and walked quickly towards the inpatient building where she was.

This figure is naturally Xiao Qing who came in a hurry after receiving a call from Xiao Karasuma, the temperature seems to be a little low today, and he is still wearing a police coat, and at a glance, he knows that he is from the Metropolitan Police Department.

[The time is just right......]

Seeing Xiaoqing's figure hurriedly walking through the courtyard, the corners of Keiko Hatoyama's mouth raised slightly.

Xiao Qing is a very self-disciplined person, no matter what he does, he is very orderly, but it is precisely because of this that she can easily calculate the time when he came here......

"I originally wanted to take that opportunity to get rid of the Karasuma family master."

With the appearance of the figure below, Keiko Hatoyama suddenly felt that her originally turbulent heart suddenly calmed down a lot at this moment.

She stared at the figure and said slowly:

"But unfortunately, in the end, it still failed, although there are many excuses to cover it up, but failure is failure, and this result will not change for any reason.

Although the Japanese public security has cleaned up many of the black forces that the Karasuma family owner has secretly cultivated in Japan in recent years, as long as the Karasuma family master, who is the most important target, escapes, then all this is actually of little significance......"

"Sister Keiko, you don't really need to tell me this."

Karasuma listened quietly, then sighed softly and continued to bow his head and compete with the apple in his hand.

"As I said before, I don't have any feelings for the head of the family, and there is only a little blood relationship between us...... If I have to say, I actually care more about you than his life and death. ”

"Thank you......"

The figure in the courtyard had vanished, and he had entered the inpatient building.

Keiko Hatoyama also withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look at Kokarasuma behind her, with a smile in her eyes.

"But there's more to me today than that...... Kokarsuma. ”

Looking at her, Keiko Hatoyama said quietly:

"As for the specific matter that the head of the Karasuma family wants to cooperate with the Hatoyama family, I shouldn't have told you carefully before, right?"

Karasuma's hand peeling apples stopped, and she looked up at Keiko Hatoyama again.

Out of an instinctive intuition, Sister Keiko at this moment made her feel vaguely uneasy in her heart.

It's like, something bad is going to happen......

But she couldn't grasp the source of this uneasiness.

"Well, it doesn't seem to be ......," she replied subconsciously.

It's true that no, Keiko Hatoyama had only revealed something to her in an almost suggestive way before.

"That's about the time."

Outside, in the hallway, there was a faint sound of hurried footsteps.

"Actually......"

The voice grew closer and closer, until it stopped outside the door of this room.

"The ...... the Karasuma family master really wants"

Keiko Hatoyama's gaze passed over Kokarsuma and fell to the half-turned doorknob of the door.

"It is eternal life."

Her voice fell, and the half-turned doorknob snapped to a halt.

Outside the door, Bai Heqing, who hurried from the Metropolitan Police Department, maintained the posture of holding the doorknob after hearing her words, and suddenly stopped.

Now everyone is here.

[Everything is just right. 】
