Chapter 9 second quarter

Hiromi called the Dean of Academic Affairs and said that because she had to go to Ogiwara's house, she would change the first class to self-study.No one at the school seems to know about this yet.She gave a general overview of the situation, and the dean of teaching affairs was taken aback, but then said in a hoarse voice: "But even if the teacher visits the home in person, it won't help at all?" Hong Mei's fire came up immediately. "He has suffered a lot now. At this time, if someone can comfort him, he will feel better. I am going to comfort him." She wanted to lower her voice, but the last words were still very loud.Perhaps it was because her aura overwhelmed the other party, so the dean didn't say anything.

——But how should I tell him? On the way to Shin'er's house, Hongmei has been thinking about this issue.After graduating from university, I have been a middle school teacher for three years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a thing.Of course, there have been two or three times before when relatives of students died and attended funerals, but nothing like this has ever happened.Hongmei thought, even teachers with decades of teaching experience may not have such an experience. In a densely packed group of Japanese-style houses of the same narrow size and shape, the Ogiwara family's western-style house with white walls is particularly eye-catching.The courtyard is spacious, and the parking lot can even park two cars.However, Hiromi didn't recognize that this belonged to the Ogihara family from its appearance, but because of the several police cars outside the door.

Hongmei looked in from the door, and saw many uniformed policemen and related personnel standing in the yard and at the entrance.There were even people lying on the lawn in the yard. Seeing her looking at the door, uniformed police officers came to ask her identity.Perhaps it was because of her behavior that made the other party feel a little suspicious. After reporting his name and identity, the policeman's attitude eased immediately, and he said he would call Xin Er.I didn't expect that the other party would actually help me. Xin Er's figure appeared at the entrance, his complexion was not bad, but his eyes were a little red.Seeing Hiromi, he could even greet her calmly.

"My room hasn't been searched yet." Shinji said slightly indifferently. Shinji has a Western-style room eight folds wide on the second floor.Next to the window with lavender curtains was a desk, clean and tidy.The carpet was spotless and the bed was neatly folded. "You are quite clean." After hearing Hiromi's words, Shinji didn't say anything. Shinji turned on the switch of the electric stove.The faint light gradually became brighter.The two sat down on the carpet and stared at the warm firelight for a while. "How old is your brother...?" After asking, Hiromi remembered the phrase "baby crib" that the other party said before.

"Three months." Shinji opened his mouth heavily. "yes……" Hongmei wondered if she could find some words to comfort and encourage Shinji.Because the purpose of my trip is precisely for this.But no matter what you say, it seems to be useless. To be honest, it makes people feel a little scared.Shinji seemed to see through her mind at a glance, and said. "Teacher, you don't have to worry about it. I'm fine." Hiromi let out an "hey" and looked at his side face. "I'm already very happy that you can come. Maybe it's because there is no sense of reality, and I didn't feel too much of a blow."

"Really... I am relieved to hear what you said." Hiromi felt that the other party seemed to be encouraging herself in turn. Shinji stood up and approached the window.He opened the aluminum alloy glass window and pointed to the left. "My brother was sleeping in that room at the time." Hiromi stood beside him and looked in the direction he pointed. "It was around six o'clock this morning. I was still lying on the bed when I suddenly heard screams. I jumped up and ran to my father's room to see that woman was holding a baby and crying like crazy." "That girl?"

Hearing Hiromi's question, Shinji closed the glass window violently, "Dad's wife. Do I need to say that?" "Oh……" Hiromi recalled that she had heard that Shinji's mother had died of illness and that her father remarried two years ago.But she didn't understand, why "needless to say". "The glass windows to the yard are not locked." Shinji fiddled with the window lock and said. "That's where the murderer appears to have entered and exited the room." "But why give such a small baby to..." "The criminal police said that it is estimated that the murderer originally intended to burglary. He saw my brother woke up and wanted to cry, so he killed him. But the current situation is not very clear."

"Didn't your parents find out then?" "The room is separated by a folding curtain, and my younger brother sleeps alone. In the middle of the night, the father and the woman both slept soundly. And the baby was also unable to struggle." After finishing speaking, Shinji said indifferently, "Ah, that's right." "He appears to have been strangled." "Strangle..." "Well. Suffocated to death, there are still traces on his body, but laymen can't see it." Afterwards, Shinji made a hand gesture with his hands stuck to his neck.

From his movements, Hiromi imagined the baby's delicate neck, and felt chills on his back.The scene of an adult stretching out his long arms to kill the weak life sleeping in the crib is really far from reality. "Then, what about your parents?" Shinji tilted his head slightly. "I don't know... I guess Dad is talking to the criminal police. The girl is probably still asleep. I heard that she passed out." No wonder, Hiromi thought. Shinji sent Hiromi to the door.Although there are still many police officers in the yard, the number of police cars has decreased a little.

A white limousine stopped quietly in front of Ogihara's house without knowing when.There was a sound of pulling the handbrake, the engine was turned off, and a tall man in his early thirties got out of the car.Wearing a gray three-piece suit, the man walked quickly towards Hongmei and the two. "Where's the director?" The man's voice sounded surprisingly young. "at home." Shinji clicked his chin toward the door, and replied indifferently.The man seemed to have been used to his attitude for a long time, and his face didn't change.Chong Hiromi bowed politely, and the man hurried in the door.

"Who is this person?" Hiromi asked.After watching the man walk into the entrance, Shinji replied. "People in the company. Dad's subordinates. I heard they are quite capable." "Hmm... how can I do it?" Xin Er shook his head seriously, "I don't know." Hiromi patted Shinji's shoulder lightly, "Cheer up." Shinji smiled. "It's okay. It's really okay." "That's good……" Turning his back to Shinji who repeatedly emphasized that he was fine, Hiromi took a step forward.Seeing that he was much more energetic than expected, Hiromi also breathed a sigh of relief.But she found that Shinji's eyes were bloodshot and red.Facing his younger brother's death, maybe he also cried once, and must not let the murderer go, Hiromi murmured while looking at her shadow.
