Children in the Sandbox——Tongxiang Wang10
The first person to come out was a man in his thirties, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. He looked like an ordinary office worker, and there was nothing wrong with his body. He had just opened the door casually, but when he saw a large group of people outside, he subconsciously closed it.
"Police," Officer Megure showed his ID, and his assistant blocked the door with his foot, making it unable to close. "Are you from this house?"
The man did not answer, but looked into the room with a look of panic when he realized that the door could not be closed.
"He should be the adopted son, right?" Sera Masumi and Haneda Hideyoshi whispered to each other, "Mr. Mizuno seems to be always hungry, it's definitely not him."
"Yi, what's the noise outside?" Sera Masumi recognized the old female voice. An old lady with silver hair but still fashionable clothes came to the door, "Who's here..."
Officer Megure turned to the old lady, his officer ID in his hand clearly visible, "Hello, are you Ms. Nobuko?"
The name of the householder registered with the landlord is Mizuno Nobuko, who is Mizuno Kana's mother and Mizuno Mei and Mizuno Mai's grandmother.
But Hideyoshi Haneda noticed that when the name Nobuko came out, there was a flash of contempt in the old lady's eyes.
"Yes, that's right," the woman nodded happily after accepting the name. The man in his thirties seemed to have found a backbone when he saw her. "This is my adopted son, Ogasawara Ichi. Officer, what can I do for you?"
"A baby's body was found in the garbage disposal in front of the apartment building," Officer Megure put his ID back into his pocket, "someone testified that the baby's crying that had been heard in your house had recently stopped."
"How pitiful... What's that crying sound?" Xinzi covered her mouth in surprise, "My two children are grown up," there was no trace of disguise on her face, "We don't have a baby, who said this was..."
Her eyes were fixed on Kiyoshi Yamashita who was downstairs. "Ah, is that what Mr. Yamashita said? He probably confused the sound of the TV with reality. After all, it's really inconvenient not being able to see anything..."
Feeling the gazes of others, Yamashita Kiyoshi subconsciously dodged to the side. Nobuko's mouth, which was covered by her palm, widened, "Mr. Yamashita, we are neighbors. There are many people at home, and we are sorry to disturb your rest, but there is no need..."
"No," Officer Megure interrupted Nobuko directly. The old detective was not shaken by Mizuno Nobuko's words, and even became more suspicious. "Mr. Yamashita has been questioned, and his confession is fine. Now, can you ask the rest of your family to come out and be questioned?"
"And we'll interrogate them separately," Haneda Hideyoshi's voice rang out. He protected his sister behind him and took a step forward to block Nobuko's sight towards Yamashita Kiyoshi. "Don't worry, the police won't wrongly accuse any good person."
The boy smiled frankly and confidently. Nobuko's expression twisted for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. "But I don't want my two children to have bad memories..."
"Then I'll come too," Sera Masumi raised her hand high, revealing two little canine teeth, "No problem." The girl smiled brightly and sunny.
"I will play a game with them where only the truth can be told."
