Chapter 747 Congratulations

Okino Mina was killed.

Just as Bai Heqing predicted in her heart, she died in that remote and weird mountain village. She was involved in an incident in which several local wealthy families used folk sacrifices and customs to kill each other. She was eventually killed in order to save a poor innocent child. .

After Shirakawa Qing and Sharon arrived at the local area, they quickly got in touch with the criminal police stationed in the local village who had conducted investigations with Okino Mina.

It is not that there is no means of external communication in that village. There are telephone lines between the police station where criminal police are stationed and the homes of several wealthy families in the village.

After realizing that a serious incident was taking place in this village, Okino Mina originally wanted to contact Shirakawa Kiyoshi immediately.

However, due to a mudslide caused by a sudden heavy rain outside the village a few days ago, the phone line in the village was cut off. As a result, Okino Mina completely lost her means of communicating with the outside world. Isolated and helpless, she was eventually killed and died quietly.

At the end of the incident, Shirakawa Kiyo relied on the clues that Okino Mina had investigated during her lifetime, and step by step completely revealed the truth about the decades-long vendetta between the big families in the mountain village, and arrested all the murderers involved. .

The omnipotent Chief Baihe has once again perfectly solved such a complicated and strange case. It is gratifying and gratifying. It is really gratifying.

On the way back, at the train transfer station, Bai Heqing sat blankly on the waiting bench, holding an urn in his hand.

Because after solving this incident, the two of them left without staying too long. It was late at night, and they were waiting for the last tram of the day.

"Actually, it's not like I haven't thought about this happening before."

Looking down at the urn of Okino Mina in his hand, Shirakawa Kiyoshi suddenly spoke, as if he was speaking to himself, and also to Sharon beside him.

"After all, Mina's character is to be nosy. Although she is very smart, she is not good at reasoning. Although she is good at disguise and transformation, she has no means of self-protection other than that. Not only does she have no power to restrain a chicken, , she herself has no self-awareness about these, and often involves herself in some dangerous incidents, including my affairs...

We obviously didn't meet each other a few times when we were in London, so I just did her a favor. If you really want to say it, it can't be considered a favor, it's just a transaction between us.

Sometimes I really can't figure it out. Is it because she is born to be so enthusiastic about the friends she considers? Why has she been willing to help me so much unconditionally over the years?

Investigate the illegal operations of those companies, sneak into the headquarters of the Japanese police, infiltrate the gang to find out, and even risk your life pretending to be me as a bait...

No matter what I asked her to do, no matter how dangerous it was, she never seemed to realize it. She never refused and always agreed.

Although she said these things without conditions every time, afterward, she would often only ask me to talk to her husband about my previous cases, to help her take care of Yoko, or when she was involved in the investigation again. When a case is unclear, I just go and help her deal with it...

Sharon, sometimes it is really difficult for me to understand the way of thinking of people like her. They don’t seem to understand what the distance between people is, and they will always treat you as a good friend, and then have nothing to do with it. I will keep my sincerity as a friend to you.

I don’t quite understand, has she ever thought about what she would do if I didn’t respond to her? Or was it that she was sure from the beginning that I was the kind of person who would definitely respond to her?

If it's the latter, I can only say that she made the right bet.

It must have been influenced by her emotions towards me. Over the years, although I have never been able to regard her as a possible love partner, I have always regarded her as the most important friend.

Although occasionally I feel that she is quite annoying. She just wants to leave me alone and don't care about me. Why does she want to come up to me and act like my sister? It seems that she will never care about me. A posture that doesn’t work.

But it is undeniable that she has been my best friend over the years. I even thought for a time that I might continue to live like this for the rest of my life.

Mina always said that there was something wrong with my brain and that something would happen if she ignored me, but in fact, in my eyes, she was the same. She is really nosy, and always gets herself involved in many dangerous incidents unintentionally. It's not that I haven't worried about this, but I just haven't been able to find a suitable way to solve it.

It was some time ago that she started to come to the Metropolitan Police frequently because of a little girl, which led to some rumors about me in the department. I seized this opportunity and gave her a new identity as a criminal police officer, and asked her to You have to show up every day, even if you're not doing work.

I want to do it step by step, first let her develop the habit of coming here, and then slowly increase the time, and slowly change her character of loving to run around outside.

In this way, even if she gets into trouble again, she will still be by my side, and I can deal with it in time...

And this time, she told me that she was going out for folklore inspection. I originally wanted to stop her, but considering that it had been a long time since she last went out, she was busy with me all day long during this time. …

I just thought, if I try to stop her, she won't listen, and it's just this time anyway. There can't be such a coincidence in this world, right? It's impossible for an accident to happen just once, right? Even if an accident does happen, I will definitely be able to rush over in time to help her, just like before..."

Speaking of this, Bai Heqing suddenly stopped.

Sharon could clearly see the tears dripping from his eyes onto Okino Mina's urn below.

He suddenly turned his head, looked at Sharon with a very puzzled look, and asked:

"Sharon, tell me, why do everyone around me leave like this?"

He asked a question that Sharon couldn't answer, but Bai Heqing didn't seem to really want Sharon to answer the question.

In just a moment, Bai Heqing narrowed his eyes and looked down at the urn in his hand again.

"I obviously just want to live this life peacefully..."

He lowered his voice, and his tone was full of exhaustion that was enough to crush his spirit.

"I'm so tired..."

His last sigh, the weariness that could not be concealed in his words, deeply shook Sharon's mind.

"Shirakawa!"

Bai Heqing's body seemed to be enveloped by a lingering aura of defeat. Sharon almost instantly raised her hand to hold his face, forcing his head to turn to look at her.

"Don't think so much now, just go home with me. Let's go back and talk about these things first, okay?"

Seeing her worried and frightened eyes, Bai Heqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll listen to you."
