"Then I'll go first."

On the way back to the hospital room, Keiko Hatoyama woke up and put her back on the hospital bed, Kokiyo said.

"Hmmm......"

She didn't say anything, just answered softly, and looked at him deeply, as if to imprint him into her mind.

"Rest for yourself, I'll be back soon."

With that, he was about to turn and leave.

"Xiaoqing!"

But just as he was about to go out, Keiko Hatoyama's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Xiaoqing turned his head and looked at her suspiciously.

"Meet you...... I've never regretted it. Keiko Hatoyama said this.

"Keiko."

Xiaoqing looked at her with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"Are you crying?"

She was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand to wipe her eyes, slowly shook her head, and smiled at him.

"Be careful on the road, ...... later Okay, got it? ”

At this moment, a touch of uneasiness suddenly rose in Xiaoqing's heart.

However, in the end, he did not open his mouth to ask, but just nodded his head and smiled as well.

"Good...... I will be back as soon as possible. ”

With that, he left the room.

Until the last moment when the door closed, Keiko Hatoyama's eyes never left him.

Although Bai Heqing was uneasy, he never opened his mouth to ask.

This is the most regrettable decision in his life.

At the same time, it was also the last time he saw Keiko Hatoyama alive.

“……”

Keiko Hatoyama left.

But what is extremely dramatic is that she did not leave quietly late at night or early in the morning, as everyone had expected.

She did not wait for her real limit to come, but was killed in the early morning of the same day, in the early hours of the day when Bai Heqing left, under the nose of the criminal police in charge of guarding.

There was no trace of a struggle, no cries for help, and she seemed to have been killed in silence.

It was not until the next morning, when the nurse in charge of her care came in to examine her, that she became aware of the fact that she had been killed.

"White River! Wait a minute! Inside is now ......"

"Get out of here!"

In the hospital, the corridors, which are usually deserted and no one can be seen, are now crowded with countless people, most of whom are criminal police officers in police uniforms and medical staff in white coats.

"Wait! White River, Ling Xian ......"

Bai Heqing, who hurriedly came back from other counties, slapped away the criminal police who wanted to block him at the door, and broke directly into the ward.

Unlike the "bustle" in the hallway, this room is still deserted.

In addition to the two paramedics and a criminal policeman, only Kokarasuma who also rushed over after receiving the news was left, and an old man who sat on the edge of the bed and was not angry and arrogant.

The detective knelt on the ground, his face weeping bitterly, looking extremely remorseful and remorseful, even more so after seeing Bai Heqing enter.

And on the bed, Keiko Hatoyama was lying there as usual, looking calm, as if she had fallen asleep.

It's just that for some reason, her face is whiter than ever, bloodless...... For some reason, the other side of her bed was stained red with blood, which fell down the edge of the bed to the floor, congealing into a dark red clot of blood that was half dry and half wet.

His mind went blank, and his pace slowed suddenly.

Shirakawa's pupils dilated, he stepped forward in a daze, his body shook a little, he grabbed Keiko Hatoyama's already cold hand, bent over, tilted his head, and looked at the deep wound on her wrist in disbelief, as if he was looking at something incredible.

He opened his mouth tremblingly, his throat moving several times, and finally only asked in a hoarse voice.

“…… Why? ”

Seeing this scene, Karasuma's eyes moistened and he looked away, and the old man sitting on the edge of the bed raised his hand and gently stroked the back of Shirakawa Kiyo's head like a loving elder.

"I'm sorry! Lord Hatoyama! Officer White River! I'm sorry! ”

At this suffocating moment, the criminal policeman who had been kneeling on the ground suddenly slammed his head to the ground and shouted loudly.

"It's all my fault! I put that doctor in last night! I didn't expect him to dare to attack Miss Hatoyama! It was I who only glanced at the door and didn't open the door to enter! It was my fault! It's all my fault! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! ”

His shout seemed to have finally called Bai Heqing back from his stunned state, and he slowly turned around and looked at the criminal policeman behind him.

"The doctor you're talking about...... Where is he? ”

"He's gone! We've gone looking for it this morning! But he seems to ...... Cough! ”

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Bai Heqing directly kicked him to the ground, he suddenly pulled out the pistol on his waist, instantly pulled out the safe, and aimed at the criminal policeman.

"Wood!" Karasuma hurriedly shouted to stop him.

His eyes were hideous, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent so thick that it almost overflowed.

Killing Intent...... This is the first time that Karasuma has seen such a thing in Shirakawa Kiyoshi's eyes.

"Officer White River?!"

"White River! First, put the gun down! ”

The criminal policemen standing outside the door finally reacted at this time and shouted one after another, but none of them dared to step forward directly to stop them.

And the criminal policeman who was kicked to the ground, although he trembled all over, he did not dodge or dodge, but just closed his eyes tightly.

Bai Heqing didn't seem to hear their voices, he still stared at the criminal policeman in front of him, and there was murderous intent and hatred in his eyes at the same time.

This is not a disguise, anyone at the scene can feel it, he really has a strong desire to kill the criminal police officer in front of him.

"Presumptuous!"

It was at this moment that the old man, who had been silent since just now, suddenly burst out with a hearty shout.

"Who gave you the authority to point a gun at your colleagues?! Put the gun down for me! ”

Shirakawa Kiyoshi's hand trembled violently from excessive force, but the index finger pressed on the trigger never pulled down.

"Wood, listen to me, he's not a murderer, let's put down the gun first, and then go together to catch the bad guy who killed Keiko's sister, he won't be able to run far, we will definitely be able to catch him...... All right? ”

As he said this, Kokarasuma slowly stepped forward and gently reached for the pistol in Shirakawa Kiyoshi's hand.

It's just that without waiting for her to take down the pistol, Bai Heqing put down his hand by himself.

At this moment, he seemed to have lost all his life, and his arm hung down weakly.

"I'm sorry ......"

With a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, Bai Heqing looked at the criminal policeman on the ground and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry...... It was my fault...... Sorry ......"

His bright, beautiful purple eyes gradually dimmed, and he lowered his head, his mouth just meaningless, not knowing who he was repeating the sentence to.

"Sorry...... Sorry ......"

And just like that, it all came to an end in the ward.

Keiko Hatoyama's death was quiet and silent, but it was unexpected by everyone, especially for Sharon and Kiyoshi Shirakawa.

Their sun set.

And with the departure of Keiko Hatoyama, the two of them have a heavier and more rugged road to self-salvation.
