Children in the Sandbox——Tongxiang Wang11
Perhaps it was the immature detective aura of Sera Masumi that came into play, or perhaps it was because the girls of the Mizuno family were so obviously resistant to the police, that Sera Masumi and Haneda Hideyoshi actually participated in the interrogation.
Several people in the Mizuno family seemed to be suffering from varying degrees of malnutrition, except Mizuno Nobuko, Ogasawara Hajime, and Mizuno Mai, who seemed to be in good mental and physical condition, and were therefore skipped first. Haneda Hideyoshi suggested questioning Mizuno Mei first, as he still suspected that the baby's biological mother was one of Mei and Mai. Although DNA testing has already appeared, some things are more effectively explained by the parties involved.
Mei Mizuno is very thin. Hideyoshi Haneda even suspects that she is the same weight as Masumi Sera. At the age of sixteen, her wrists exposed by her sleeves are as thin as sticks. The police initially planned to send her directly to the hospital, just like they did to her parents. But Mizuno Nobuko opened her mouth and said that her granddaughter was mentally ill, often talking nonsense, going crazy and hitting people. If they were sent to the hospital, she would also ask to go with them. When Mei Mizuno heard this, she stuttered and said that she could be questioned here.
The landlord gave them a larger empty room with much better soundproofing. Mizuno Mei leaned against the wall with a weak look on her face. Sera Masumi, who looked the most harmless, was the first to try to break the ice.
"Hello, big sister," liveliness is Sera Masumi's characteristic, "Can you tell us what happened in your family?"
She looked at the bruises on Mizuno Mei's wrists. The landlady's hot porridge brought some color to her face. Sera Masumi's enthusiasm and sincerity were not rewarded. On the contrary, she was depressed to see Mizuno Mei shrinking back. Like Yamashita Kiyoshi before, she couldn't hide her fear.
This really hit the little girl hard. Although not everyone likes her, generally no one hates her either.
"Majun," Haneda Hideyoshi pulled the corner of her clothes, signaling her to step back first, "Don't scare Miss Mei."
Masumi Sera and Mai Mizuno are the same age, and looking at the comparison of the physical conditions of the two sisters...Hideyoshi Haneda sighed secretly. It seems that Mai Mizuno has gained a certain status in the family by pleasing Nobuko Mizuno, and was even ordered to abuse her sister. The so-called killing the chicken to scare the monkey, Mei Mizuno was the one who was pushed out to show how miserable the end will be once you go against the ruler in the family.
"...You guys," Just when Haneda Hideyoshi and the female police officer who was watching were still worried, Mizuno Mei's weak voice rang out, "Who called the police?"
"Who discovered the problem in our family?" Her voice was a little hoarse, as if she had been injured, but she still asked stubbornly, "Who?"
"I was the one who called the police," Haneda Hideyoshi glanced at Yamashita Kiyoshi who was sitting in the back and took the initiative to explain, "It was Mr. Yamashita who discovered the problem in your family."
He briefly explained the records of Shimoyama Shita Kiyoshi and the bodies found at the garbage disposal site. Mei Mizuno listened quietly and a smile slowly appeared on her face.
"Thank you," Mei Mizuno spoke to Yamashita Kiyoshi first, "Thank you, I didn't pretend I didn't know and tried to find someone to help."
She tried to sit up straight and faced the others. "I will tell you what you want to know." She placed her hands on her knees and clenched them into fists. "That child is indeed ours."
“That’s my daughter.”
