Chapter 28 Chapter VII

At this time, the hospital's ambulance came to carry the corpse. According to the law, all those who died abnormally must undergo an autopsy. Before loading the car, Mrs. Matsushiro and Matsuko had to bid farewell to the dead body. This is the saddest moment in the world. Mrs. Matsudai's grief was invisible, and her face was very calm, but when her eyes touched the face of the deceased, her tightly closed lips trembled convulsively. The young Miss Songzi could no longer control her emotions: "Brother!..." She only yelled, and then fell into the arms of Shozo next to him crying.Sheng San silently stroked her shoulder.

The farewell ceremony in the larch and birch forests was not completed, and then another dramatic scene appeared. Matsushiro, struggling to control her grief, said: "Then..." She urged the police to take the body away. At this moment, Miyoko, who came from Xiongzhiping together by car yesterday, suddenly stumbled and ran over from the forest path. Seeing a large group of people around the pine tree, she stopped timidly, her face pale. "Ah... Miyoko!" Hearing Mrs. Matsushiro's harsh reprimand, Miyoko shrank her shoulders as if she was half lower than others, but immediately returned to normal. She stared straight at the pine tree that had been put on a stretcher, and begged the police: "Excuse me, can you put the stretcher back on?"

"No, it's too late, we need to load the car immediately!" Mrs. Matsushita blocked the others' mouths seriously. "Please! Please put the stretcher on for a while..." Miyoko begged bitterly. The two policemen carrying the stretcher, not knowing what to do, glanced at each other.Miyoko bent over, lowering her head almost to the ground.The police were moved by her bitter plea, and put the stretcher back on the grass. "Miyoko! You..." Miyoko didn't seem to hear Mrs. Matsushiro's stern reprimand, she cried silently on Matsushi's body, crying like broken pearls.

"Miyoko!..." Because Matsushiro's voice calling Miyoko was a bit abnormal, Kindaichi Kosuke couldn't help but turned around and saw Mrs. Matsushiro's face full of panic and confusion. Miyoko ignored Mrs. Matsushiro's scolding at all, put her face against Matsushi's, hugged his cold corpse tightly, and moved his head over like a child, crying silently.Because she was holding back her sobs, swallowing her sad sobs down her throat like a sneeze... Kosuke Kindaichi and the other power inspectors looked at each other in surprise.Shouzo hurried forward, stroked Miyoko's shoulder, and said something. Miyoko nodded obediently, wiped her tears, took out a nail clipper from her handbag, cut off a strand of pine tree's hair, and wrapped it solemnly in paper. Putting it in the handbag, kissing Song Shu's lips heavily, and with the support of Shozo, he staggered to his feet.

"Miyoko!" Mrs. Matsushiro called Miyoko with a trembling voice.But she silently looked around at the people around her for no reason, bowed deeply aimlessly, covered her eyes with a handkerchief, turned around quickly, and ran crazily along the path in the forest up... Mrs. Matsushiro stared blankly at her back.
