My Partner is Shiina Mashiro

Liu Sen raised his head to search for the tender voice of Lolita, and at some point, all three girls from his family appeared in front of him.

"Xiao Ai, why are you here?"

Liu Sen hugged Hui Yuanai into his arms, then looked at the time on his watch, and found that it was almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Generally speaking, well-behaved children are already asleep, while bad-behaved children still keep their eyes wide open.

"It's late now, my good boy must go to bed."

"But after drinking this drink, I don't feel sleepy at all."

Hui Yuanai handed the drink in the paper cup to Liu Sen. Liu Sen sniffed it carefully and found that it was espresso black coffee.

"Gill, I'm afraid you are poisonous." Liu Sen complained to Gilgamesh angrily, "What's wrong with you for giving children black coffee?"

"Well, isn't this Xiao Ai who has been clamoring for a drink?" Gilgamesh scratched his cheek with some embarrassment, "It shouldn't matter much if it's a glass and a half."

The caffeine contained in coffee can stimulate the central nervous system of the human body and make the human body feel excited. If it is ingested in a small amount, then of course it does not matter.

But the problem is that Xiao Ai is only six years old this year.Not to mention whether Xiao Ai's body can break down the excess caffeine, just because of the lack of sleep caused by coffee is quite troublesome.

"Forget it, drink it if you don't drink it, what else can you do." Liu Sen curled his lips angrily, "You guys stay here for a while now, I still have something to do."

"Sen, where are you going?"

"Brother Liu Sen, what does forensic medicine mean?"

Zhenbai and Xiaoai's question stopped Liu Sen, who just wanted to continue investigating.

"I'm going to talk to Hiratsuka Jing." Liu Sen answered Zhenbai's question first, and then slowly squatted down in front of Xiao Ai, "Adults and children should not talk too much." First, his mind collapsed The flick hit Xiao Ai's forehead, and Xiao Ai's pouting was so cute that it was a foul, so Liu Sen had no choice but to say something perfunctory to her.

"Forensic medicine is to find any strange wounds on the bodies of brothers and sisters. It is a very sacred profession."

"Is that so?" Hui Yuanai showed a thoughtful look, "Brother Liu Sen wants to be a forensic doctor?"

"It's not that I want to be a forensic doctor." Liu Sen corrected Xiao Ai's speech, "If I have to say—"

"It would be great if one of the three of you was a forensic doctor."

......

Zhenbai, Gilgamesh and Xiao Ai were placed in the public rest area of ​​the hospital by Liu Sen. According to Police Officer Mumu, the extracurricular tutor of the second grade of Sobu High School should be in this hospital, but Liu Sen searched for it more than half a circle. , but did not find the woman's whereabouts.

Just when Liu Sen was about to call and consult with Police Officer Megure, Liu Sen returned to the hospital lobby and unexpectedly found Hiratsuka Jing crying outside the hospital gate.

"Liu, Officer Liu..." Hiratsuka Shizuka looked blankly at the man who suddenly appeared beside him, and then, under Liu Sen's surprised eyes, rushed towards Liu Sen, "Hayama Hayato, he... Hayama Hayato, he will never come back!"

Liu Sen didn't know that Hiratsuka Shizuka would have such a cowardly side, but he knew that no matter how he comforted Hiratsuka Shizuka at this time, it would be useless.

Although he doesn't have many friends, he knows very well what it feels like to lose a former best friend by his side... It's as if something has been stuck in his heart and he can't get it out no matter what.

Maybe as time goes by, the painful impression will be weakened, but the thorn will always be in my heart and will never disappear.

Therefore, what Liu Sen can do is to give Shizuka Hiratsuka a shoulder for tears, hoping that this good teacher who is both a teacher and a friend with the students can temporarily get rid of that pain.

"I'm sorry, Officer Liu...I've been crying too much."

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who has always been strong like a gangster boss, is now docile like a sheep.

"It should be Officer Megure who told you I'm here?"

"It doesn't matter... Isn't it normal to cry?"

Liu Sen patted Shizuka Hiratsuka's back, signaling her not to care.

"Okay, it's okay...then why are you here?"

"I, I'm here to take care of Yumiko Miura—Officer Liu, you must find out who killed Hayama Hayato, right?"

"Isn't that of course?" Liu Sen nodded firmly, and gave Hiratsuka Jing an affirmative answer, "So you have to tell me everything you know, and I can't help you if you don't let me. Hayama Hayato in the sky."

"Everything..."

A glint of hope flashed in Hiratsuka Jing's eyes, but soon she broke free from Liu Sen's arms, and squatted on the ground with her head in pain, as if there was a huge burden accumulated in her heart.

"...I suppose you must have some reason—want one?"

Under Hiratsuka Shizuka's surprised eyes, Liu Sen did not choose to continue asking, but put a cigarette in her hand.

"I don't know if you are used to men's cigarettes. If not, I'll go to the convenience store and buy another pack."

"No thanks."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice was muffled and deep, but judging from her voice, her mood was much more stable than before.

"why..."

Lighting a cigarette one by one, a man and a woman who looked like no one else completely ignored the disgusted eyes of the people around them.Not everyone will like the smell of cigarettes, but cigarettes are some people's favorite smell.

"Why didn't you ask, right?"

Liu Sen asked back, Hiratsuka nodded quietly.

"Then if I ask, will you answer me?"

"..."

"Silence means no, so my questioning is naturally meaningless."

Liu Sen gave Shizuka Hiratsuka a warm smile, and exhaled a puff of smoke heavily, and he exhaled all the troubles together.

"No one is obliged to speculate on what you are thinking in your heart, the pain and unwillingness accumulated in your heart, if you don't tell me, I will definitely not know - of course, even if you don't tell me, I will do everything possible to know. "

"You—do you not trust the police that much?"

"So, why should I trust the police?"

"Is it because I have to believe that the police will definitely help me?"

Liu Sen couldn't answer Hiratsuka Shizuka's words. When he thought of Ebina Himina and Hayama Hayato who had passed away, he didn't know what kind of emotion to say with the word "yes".

"...But if you don't say anything or do anything, aren't you afraid that you will spend the rest of your life in sorrow and regret?"

"Anyway, it's much better than being sad and regretful now."

At this point in the topic, Liu Sen didn't know how to continue the conversation.For a person who has closed her heart, it is impossible for outsiders to understand her inner world without using special means.

It's just that I was a little unwilling to give up like this. Just when Liu Sen was about to try for the last time, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was squatting, suddenly stood up.

"I'm sorry, Officer Liu, please forgive me, an older female teacher, for my last willfulness."

Shizuka Hiratsuka who stood up straight showed a smile that was pretending to be strong.

"I've always believed that, even if I can't tell you certain facts and truths—"

"You will definitely let all of this come to light."

......

After smoking a cigarette, the female teacher who regained her emotional stability left the gate of the hospital. Liu Sen did not prevent her from leaving, because he had no reason to prevent her from leaving.

After tonight's farewell, there are more and more mysteries about this woman, Shizuka Hiratsuka.Her behavior was so weird, so weird that Liu Sen wanted to wonder if the real murderer behind the scenes sent her to set off smoke bombs to cause trouble.

Otherwise, Liu Sen really couldn't figure it out, Hiratsuka Shizuka's actions tonight almost wrote the words "I've been coerced" on her face.

If Liu Sen was the intimidator, he would have shot her in the head long ago.

There is no intimidator who allows the victim to contact the police unscrupulously, unless the intimidator is so courageous that he has no fear of the police.

"Is it stupid and bold or is it confident? What is this inexplicable sense of expectation?"

The night covered the light, Liu Sen analyzed while looking up at the stars all over the sky.

"Guys who pursue unrealistic dreams... If this is really just a joke, it will be too much noise."

"Either realize the dream... or die for the dream, and I will be free tomorrow!!"

Muttering the frantic and scribbled sentences in Ebina Himena's diary, Liu Sen, who was sitting at the entrance of the hospital, saw Mori Kogoro walking out of the night.

"Uncle Maori, it's so late, what are you?"

Liu Sen stood up straight and greeted Kogoro Mouri.

"Hmph!" Mori Kogoro snorted coldly with his arms folded, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't rush here because of you."

"I didn't say it was because of me..." Liu Sen held his forehead with one hand, speechless, "Don't you feel disgusted when you are still arrogant at your age?"

"Ao, Aojiao, I am not Aojiao!"

"Yes, yes, no, no, no." Liu Sen nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, "Then what does the arrogant Uncle Mao Li want to come to the hospital in the middle of the night?"

"No, this is what Police Officer Megure asked me to give to you, and this, you should take it together."

"This is a file bag... Is this a bag of clothes?"

Liu Sen looked at the two things Moori Kogoro handed him. He could understand what the document bag might be, but what was the bag of clothes for?

"I ran into that woman named Shizuka Hiratsuka by chance on the way here."

"She asked me to bring you this bag of clothes."

"You make me more confused by saying that..."

Liu Sen sighed, looking puzzled.

Shizuka Hiratsuka actually asked someone to hand over a bag of clothes to him, and judging from the model and size of the clothes...they might not be Yumiko Miura's clothes?

"Again, how is that Yumiko Miura's condition?"

After the delivery of the things, the spirit of detective (ba) and detective (gua) in Mori Kogoro began to erupt again.

"Ah, he should still be in a coma, but I heard from the nurse at this hospital that his life was saved because of the timely treatment."

"There should be no sequelae in the future, and you can live a normal life."

"That's it, isn't that good." Liu Sen's words made Mori Kogoro heave a sigh of relief, "This can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune."

Is it good?Not necessarily.

If Liu Sen's guess is correct, Miura Yuiko, who was already quite lonely, should become even more lonely after losing the person she likes.

Compared with the physical pain, the spiritual harm this incident brought to Yumiko Miura was even greater.Liu Sen couldn't even imagine how Yumiko Miura would survive...Although he was very worried, Liu Sen also knew at this time that he could do nothing but try his best to solve the case.

"Yeah, it's really good." Liu Sen showed a forced smile, and while smiling, he echoed Mouri Kogoro, "Do you want to look at this document together?"

"You should also care about this case, right?"

"If you insist on asking me, a famous detective, to give you some advice, it's not impossible."
