"Could it be because I met my mother? I always feel that the child suddenly became a lot more lively......"

After the little girl made an excuse to leave, Mina Okino took Sharon and sat on a bench on the side of the road.

"Miss Sharon, Lady Jing used to complain to me that she was very strict with her at home......

Although it may be that I have talked a little too much, I still want to say that as a mother, I should spend more time with my children.

Compared with those bells and whistles that don't have much practical effect on skill training, the most important thing is to have more meals with your child, go out for a walk, cultivate her mind, and exercise her body......"

"Well, teachable......"

did not reject Mina Okino's sincere words, Sharon nodded slightly, looking a little helpless.

"I think so too, but my father ...... him"

As if there was something unspeakable, she paused abruptly as she said this, and finally only sighed faintly.

"Father, he...... She has always been very strict with Ah Jing, and many things ...... Even I, the mother, can't interfere......"

"That's ......"

Mina Okino looked at her deeply.

The father of this Karasuma-sama...... It should be the one who used to be hostile to Miss Hatoyama and tried to attack Shirakawa Kiyoshi a few years ago, the head of the Karasuma family, Karasuma Renya, right?

[By the way, does Karasuma Renya know that Jing Yatou is the daughter of Shirakawa Kiyoshi? 】

His grandfather wanted to murder his father?

It's a complicated family relationship that really seems like a joke......

"Miss Sharon, doesn't your husband care about these things?" Mina Okino asked.

At the same time, she reached into her pocket.

If I'm not mistaken, when she changed into her police uniform this morning, she should have had that thing with her......

"My husband he ......"

Every time Mina Okino brought up this topic, Sharon's eyes would flash a hint of discoloration, and her expression would become hesitant and entangled.

"There are always many unavoidable ......"

She still chose to answer vaguely.

But this time, Mina Okino won't give her another chance to fool around.

[Ah, I found it!] Sure enough, I brought it! It's okay, it's okay......]

"Speaking of which, Miss Sharon, do you know where I first met Jing Girl?"

Continuing to guide the conversation, Mina Okino took out a pair of handcuffs from her waist bag.

"Actually, it's at the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Huh? Ah Jing, she went to the Metropolitan Police Department? ”

Suddenly, Sharon was surprised by Mina Okino's answer, and at the same time a little nervous.

"Well, the kid looked old and pitiful, sitting alone on the edge of the flower bed outside the Metropolitan Police Department, just staring blankly at our Metropolitan Police Department building, so I couldn't help but go up and ask her if she needed any help.

Miss Sharon, guess what she said to me at the time? ”

While using the key to open the handcuffs, Mina Okino said.

"Ah Jing, what did she say?"

Her tone grew tense, and Sharon asked subconsciously, she hadn't even paid attention to why Mina Okino suddenly had to take out the handcuffs.

"Jing Yatou told me that when she was abroad, her mother had always been very concerned about the news of the Metropolitan Police Department, and she secretly kept a lot of newspapers from the Metropolitan Police Department without her.

She wondered if her father could be someone in the Metropolitan Police Department. So she wanted to come to the Metropolitan Police Department to have a look, maybe she could find someone who knew her, and thus find out her father...... This little girl is really smart! ”

As she spoke, Mina Okino looked at Sharon, who was already shocked, with a sunny smile on her face.

"Miss Sharon, I'm actually curious about whether Miss Jing's guess is right or wrong, can you tell me quietly? If so, I'm also working at the Metropolitan Police Department, so maybe I can help......"

"No, that ......"

Basically, she didn't even think about it, and as soon as Mina Okino finished saying this, Sharon subconsciously avoided her gaze and wanted to refuse.

But she was only halfway through the refusal, and she stopped herself.

After being stunned for a long time, she finally just sighed faintly, her expression gloomy.

"These are all guesses by Ah Jing, and please Miss Miyajima don't take it to heart, I just personally like to read police news, so I will collect those newspapers......"

"You ...... guy"

Looking at her cowering appearance, Mina Okino shook her head and sighed.

"It's really small......

Originally, she was going to let Sharon say it herself, but it seemed that she still had to do it herself......

Suddenly, Mina Okino handcuffed Sharon's wrist with the handcuffs that had already been opened, and at the same time quickly handcuffed the other side to her wrist, handcuffing the two of them together.

"Huh? Miss Miyajima? ”

Her behavior made Sharon a little incomprehensible.

"Don't worry, I just thought that Miss Sharon might make a move to escape next, so I just took a little precaution."

With that, Mina Okino threw the key to the handcuffs directly into her shoes.

"After all, I'm different from that guy in Shirakawa, I really don't have any combat power at all, in case Karasuma wants to escape, I'm really likely to not be able to stop it......"

With the reappearance of the name "Shirakawa" in Mina Okino's mouth, and the change in her address to Sharon, Sharon finally realized the current situation.

And...... The true identity of this "Miss Miyajima" in front of you.

Kokarsuma ...... Very few people would call her by that nickname, except for the few people she once knew.

"Miss Miyajima...... Wrong...... Don't you ......?"

Greeted by Sharon's incredulous expression, Mina Okino grinned.

She slowly raised her hand and touched the side of her face.

"It seems that the sluggish and timid little Karasuma finally realized it......"

She suddenly remembered that when she first met Sharon nearly ten years ago, it seemed to be a similar scene.

She was ...... Looks like you've done it too?

There was a sudden force on his hand, and with a "hiss" sound, Mina Okino directly tore off her "whole face".

"Karasuma-chan, we'll meet again."

Finally revealing her true face, Mina Okino said with a smile.

Sharon, on the other hand, had her pupils shrink instantly.

"Okino ...... Miss? ”

"Oh, it seems that you still remember my name, I thought that after all these years, you forgot about me......

Almost subconsciously, Sharon stood up and wanted to leave, but there was an instant pain in her wrist.

Yes, it was to prevent this from happening that Mina Okino would handcuff the wrists of the two in advance.

"Alright, sit down, it's time to get down to business."

Mina Okino shook her wrist, still with a smile on her face.

"Let's talk about you, Kokumara, about Jing Ya, and ...... Your husband's business. ”
