Children in the Sandbox——Tongxiang Wang12

Children in the Sandbox——Tongxiang Wang12

The truth was finally revealed, but it brought more doubts.

Who is the child’s biological father? Why did the child die? Mei Mizuno is only sixteen years old this year. Did she give birth to that child voluntarily?

Hideyoshi Haneda felt like he was opening Pandora's box. The darkness leaking out could pollute all the beauty in the world, but he had to suppress the urge to close the lid and persist until the lowest level of hope was released.

Pretending not to see is never an option.

While Haneda Hideyoshi was still brainstorming how to ask, Sera Masumi took the first step forward.

"Does it hurt, Mei?" Unexpectedly, Sera Masumi's question had nothing to do with the case. The little girl was concerned about Mei Mizuno's previous fear and could only express her concern in a slightly clumsy way, "My mother said that giving birth is very painful..."

Mei Mizuno stared at Masumi Sera in a daze, tears rolling down her cheeks. Such a reasonable concern made the victim burst into tears. She suddenly reached out and hugged the child who was almost the same age as her sister, muttering, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, but I really can't help it..."

"I...I can't..."

Masumi Sera stretched out her hand and responded to Mei Mizuno's hug, and her uncontrollable crying echoed in the room.

.

"Drink some water first," the policewoman poured a glass of water for Mizuno Mei. She was really afraid that she would faint from crying. Fortunately, although Mizuno Mei looked weak, she was still strong-willed and managed to stay awake. "Rehydrate."

"Thank you," Mei Mizuno was still holding Sera Masumi, who was wiping tears in her arms, and thanked her with a heavy nasal voice, "That child..."

She said in a hoarse voice, and Tong Xiang, who had almost become a spectator, looked at her from behind his sunglasses, "Father is that woman's adopted son."

"Ogasawara Ichi?" The female police officer was taking notes. "Can you tell me more about this?"

Neon's regulations in this regard are ambiguous. Mizuno Mei was only fifteen when she became pregnant, and Ogasawara Hajime was nearly thirty. In theory, it is a misdemeanor, but if both parties are willing, it is hard to say whether this situation can be classified as a crime.

But looking at Mei Mizuno's expression, no one present bothered to ask her if she was willing, as that would obviously be adding insult to injury.

"That was a punishment," Mei Mizuno's face was numb. She covered Sera Masumi's ears with her hands. Although the obstruction was almost non-existent, Sera Masumi, who heard it clearly, still showed a confused expression, pretending that the slight weight worked. "Every time that woman punished me, my parents, and Mai, I would become obedient."

"When I found out I was pregnant, I was almost five months pregnant. The woman said I was a disgrace and locked me up until I was about to give birth. She gave my mother a pair of scissors and allowed her to help me."

"The baby was born, and then I was locked up again. The woman always let them beat me. The baby was crying, but I couldn't feed her. I tried..."

"Later, the child died. Wu buried the child in the cat litter my father bought and placed it in my room. After a while, it became smelly, so the woman's adopted son took it out and threw it away..."

Mei Mizuno's words were incoherent, with occasional grammatical errors. She stared blankly at the ceiling from time to time, until the movement of Masumi Sera in her arms brought her back to her senses and she continued.

Although there are many missing pieces, the facts currently known are enough to make every conscientious person angry.

Mei Mizuno suffered severe trauma.

Yamashita Kiyoshi poked Haneda Hideyoshi in the front row. The precocious boy was also suppressing his anger at this moment. He looked at the notebook handed to him by Yamashita Kiyoshi and read out the questions on it.

"Who is that woman?"

Mei Mizuno hugged Masumi Sera tightly in her arms, with an expression of sudden enlightenment on her face, "Nobuko? Ah, no, that woman is not my grandmother, she killed my grandmother."

"It was Mom and Dad who did it, because of that woman's order."
