Conan, but the winery

The only regret is that the prisoner doctor committed suicide. At the moment the freighter was stopped, he seemed to have guessed his next fate and committed suicide by swallowing a bullet with the pistol hidden in his body.
And his death undoubtedly sank many details of Hatoyama Keiko’s murder into the sea.
Why on earth did he murder Keiko Hatoyama? Was he ordered to do so? Or a crime of passion?
Was Keiko Hatoyama still conscious at the time? If so, how did he get Keiko Hatoyama to cooperate with him in the murder?
If not, then what happened to the action of Hatoyama Keiko pulling the quilt that the criminal police saw at the door that night?
With the doctor’s suicide, no one can answer all these questions anymore.
A few days later, there was Keiko Hatoyama’s funeral.
Not many people were publicly invited to the funeral. Even so, the identity of the Hatoyama family was here after all, and there were still many people who came to express their condolences.
Sharon also participated in the funeral and watched Shirakawa Qing receive every mourner as the host and was busy until night fell.
Suddenly, she seemed unable to understand the meaning of this behavior.
For those who have just lost a loved one, they should have a good rest at this time, try to adjust their mood, and get over the sadness as soon as possible to welcome the new future…
However, because of the existence of this kind of funeral, not only do the grieving people have little time to adjust, but they also have to pretend to be strong and put on an “I’m fine” expression to greet the mourners.
If it were just that, it would be fine. What made Sharon feel even more disgusted was that most of these people were not here to express their condolences. They were just using this name to show off themselves or to have “reasonable” contact with the Hatoyama family, trying to reach some kind of cooperation and earn some kind of benefits…
After realizing this clearly, Sharon felt nauseous and wanted to grab a gun and shoot all these people.
But no.
Because this kind of thing will not be of any benefit to Shirakawa Qing, the Hatoyama family, or the dead sister Keiko.
That’s right, even if they are not really mourning you, even if they don’t really care about you at all, even if they are still shamelessly trying to discuss business or political matters with you at the funeral of their loved ones, and try to use this opportunity to gain benefits from you…
But you still have to put on a smiling and friendly expression.
With the death of Keiko Hatoyama, at her funeral, Sharon finally understood for the first time one of the truest aspects of this world.
And what makes her sad the most is Bai Heqing who has to stand at the front to greet these hypocritical people.
The more Bai Heqing behaved flawlessly in this process, the sadder Sharon felt in her heart.
At such a big funeral, how many people really mourned the person lying in the coffin?
Suddenly, Sharon felt her innocence and childishness again.
She was actually thinking seriously about a question that no one else would even think about?
She is indeed not suitable to be the heir to the Karasuma family…
Sharon stayed at the funeral until late at night, and so did Shirakawa Kiyoshi.
After the hustle and bustle of the day had gone away, he was now sitting alone on the chair, staring intently but expressionlessly at the coffin in front of him that seemed to contain Keiko Hatoyama’s entire life.
“Officer Shirakawa, I always feel like I’m about to die…”
Sharon stood slightly behind. Beside her, a maid from the Hatoyama family suddenly stepped forward and said.
“Are you…” Sharon turned to look at the maid with doubtful eyes.
This maid looked familiar to her. She should have served at Hatoyama’s house all year round. She had also seen her busy figure during the funeral during the day.
It’s just the maid’s familiar tone that puzzled her. We don’t seem to know each other, right?
“It’s me, Okino Mina.”
Seeing her confusion, the “maid” stretched out her hand and gently pulled her face, explaining:
“After all, I wasn’t invited, and it’s not easy for me to come in openly, so I can only borrow the identity of this little maid… Tsk, I was really exhausted during the day. Don’t look at those big shots all well-dressed. Their ability to create garbage is no weaker than others… It’s too far off topic.”
After making some remarks, Okino Mina glanced at Shirakawa Kiyo, who was sitting in front, and whispered to Sharon:
“That guy is not in good condition. Why don’t you go up and comfort him quickly?”
“I……”
Sharon hesitated. Of course, she wanted to go over and comfort him, but she also thought that it might be better for him to sit there alone for a while…
“Well, in short, you can just measure it yourself.”
As if seeing through her inner thoughts, Okino Mina patted her shoulder.
“I think that at this time, men need a warm embrace more than letting men continue to sink alone.”
After saying that, Okino Mina turned around and left.
“No more talking. I have to go back now. I wanted to come and take a look because I was worried that the guy might not be able to bear the blow. If I had known that you, my good friend, would be with me, I would not have come… Tsk, I have been ordered around all day, and my bones are about to fall apart… Bye.”
After waving her hand, Okino Mina’s figure disappeared into the night.
“Thanks……”
After whispering a thank you to her from behind, Sharon turned her gaze back to Shirakawa Qing in front of her.
【Is it sinking…】
She bit her lip, slowed down her pace, walked forward, and sat next to Bai Heqing.
During this process, his gaze did not shift at all, and he was still staring blankly at the coffin in front of him, as if he was in a daze.
He has been doing this regularly since Keiko Hatoyama passed away.
“Those people during the day are really annoying…”
Not knowing where to start, Sharon first found a topic that she thought would resonate most with the two of them.
Chapter 710 Let’s get married
“Those people during the day are really annoying…”
In the funeral hall late at night, Sharon spoke first and tried to start the conversation.
“One or two of them said they were here to mourn Sister Huizi, but in the end they all had their own ulterior motives. It would be great if we could drive them all out…”
“This is normal, nothing to worry about.”
Bai Heqing did not ignore her as she thought. He nodded slightly and replied in a hoarse voice, but his eyes still stayed on the coffin.
“That’s right. If it were Sister Keiko, she would definitely not care about these people… By the way, Miss Okino was here just now.”
“Is that so… say thank you to her for me. The same thing happened to the murderer before. I am grateful for her care…”
“What’s more! Miss Okino is also worried about you, so she came in disguised as a maid from the Hatoyama family. She just complained to me that she was almost exhausted from being ordered around during the day…”
“Really……”
Having said this, Bai Heqing finally turned his head to look at Sharon and gave her a forced smile.
“Little Karasuma, it’s getting late, go back and rest quickly.”
This sentence is a polite farewell.
Sharon was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said sadly:
“Mumu, I’m worried about you…”
“Don’t think too much, I just want to sit here for a while. Everything will be fine. Go back and rest…”
Bai Heqing spoke again, but Sharon still didn’t get up and leave. Although she didn’t open her mouth to say anything, she stubbornly sat next to him.
Maybe Okino Mina was right. Even if he didn’t say anything at this time, just having someone sitting next to him was better than leaving him here alone.
After all, she may be the only one who can stay with him now.
Silence flowed quietly between the two of them. I don’t know how long it took before another voice suddenly sounded.
“I actually…had already accepted all of this.”
Bai Heqing looked quietly at the coffin in front of him and suddenly spoke.
“Originally, I was able to accept the result that Keiko would die of illness and leave me early. I also thought about it. I should live well after she leaves and don’t go to see her too early…”
Sharon turned to look at him.
“It’s just that I don’t understand why things are still like this? Why can’t she even get such a little final stability?”
“wood……”
“I originally had a lot of things to ask that doctor, but he actually committed suicide? Ha…and he committed suicide so decisively, without even giving me a chance. It was as if all the details had been calculated, leaving only The result of Keiko being killed, and a lot of mysteries…
If it weren’t for the clues provided by Ms. Okino, I might not even be able to catch the murderer, just like ten years ago.
Bai Heqing had already reached the edge of collapse. The sudden murder of Keiko Hatoyama dealt him an extremely heavy blow.
This scene was just like the scene where his mother was killed ten years ago. The omnipotent Police Officer Baihe could not even protect the people around him. Two of his closest relatives left him in such a dramatic way. It was as if God was playing a joke on him.
Sharon wanted to comfort and enlighten him, but she didn’t know how to speak.
Unlike the vast majority of people who are selfish by nature, Shirakawa Kiyoshi never seems to put himself first. Not only does he have almost no material desires, but he also has no complaints about being manipulated by Mr. Hatoyama. Since he was young, he has been acting to meet the expectations of others.
In the past, that person was Aunt Shirakawa, and later it was Keiko Hatoyama… In other words, these two people were the spiritual pillars of his life.
Two consecutive dramatic pillar collapses in ten years dealt a fatal blow to Shirakawa Kiyoshi.
As one of the former trio, Sharon naturally knew how important Keiko Hatoyama was to Shirakawa Kiyoshi, and she also knew how pale her words were in this situation…
No, it’s not that there is no way.
Suddenly, Sharon remembered what Keiko Hatoyama said to her during her lifetime.
She wasn’t really helpless.
Sister Huizi had already arranged everything for her. Sister Huizi said that in Baihe Qing’s heart, she also had an irreplaceable position. After Sister Huizi left, if Baihe Qing was unable to recover, she would become the new pillar to support his broken heart to move on.
“White River…”
Instead of calling him the nickname given to him, he called him by his first name.
Sharon met Bai Heqing’s puzzled gaze and raised her hands tremblingly.
Yes, she has the qualifications.
To be honest from the bottom of my heart, Sharon doesn’t really know whether what she does next is correct at this point in time, and she’s not sure whether she really has the courage to do it, and whether she has the responsibility to do it. Determination of consequences.
She was extremely frightened and uneasy inside.
She just felt that maybe she should do this…and this might also be the best way, the way that Sister Keiko left for her…
