Kuroki Jin walked into a phone booth, searched for it in his wallet, took out a phone card, and inserted it into the phone.
After dialing a number, the person picked up the call quickly, as if they had anticipated the call.
"Sorry, my fault." The voice over there was as gentle as jade, and just by listening to the voice, I felt that the other person was a polite and gentle young man.
"What's going on?" Heimuren asked.
"Yes...he knows what happened today. He just said to take a look, just take a look."
Kuroki Jin was silent. If he just took a look at it according to what he said, it would really not matter, but his whereabouts were now exposed. The state in which Sato Miwako came back made Kuroki Jin very uneasy. This would cause problems in the future. A series of events exceeded his expectations.
"Potter, we are the companions who know each other best. Even if he is exposed, he will not betray me." The person on the phone was anxious to explain, "And he doesn't know your existence yet. As long as I It’s okay, nothing will happen to you.”
"...," Kuroki Ren called the other party's name, "You know I never take any risks."
"He's coming back soon. Let me ask you about the specific process and see if it can be remedied, okay?"
Kuroki Ren was silent. His silence made the person on the other end of the phone more and more uneasy. Hearing the sound of the door lock ringing, he quickly said: "I'll hang up first. I'll go find you tonight."
"Don't come to me." Kuroki said quickly, "There's no need to call. Use the method we agreed on before and send the incident via coded mail."
"I see."
Kuroki Ren hung up the phone, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed deeply.
He never regrets what he has done, so he can only find a solution to his current situation. Fortunately, things are really as that person said. As long as they believe that the friendship between them will not be betrayed easily, then there is room for remedy.
Almost everyone in the search section participated in the interrogation of the bomber, and even some people from the bomb disposal class witnessed the result of sending the bomber to prison.
Sato was lying on his desk. He didn't feel it during the day, but now he felt a dull pain in the place where he jumped from the car and fell.
Images kept replaying in her mind, some from three years ago and some from today. Three years ago, Matsuda Jinpei disappeared before her eyes, and three years later today, on the day she caught the prisoner, he appeared again.
Sato would not admit his mistake. That person was Matsuda Jinpei. Although he could not see his appearance clearly and his voice had been processed after thinking about it carefully, his behavior, his eyes, and his attitude towards her were all the same. It doesn't mean he is Matsuda.
Just - why?
Why did you fake your death three years ago? Why not tell the police that he was still alive? Why are you here, trying to escape after stopping her from committing a crime? Who was that person who was talking to him? Who is threatening him?
No, it won't be a threat. A policeman like Matsuda Jinpei will not be threatened by criminals. He would rather sacrifice his own life to save a person in the hospital. He is the most upright and fearless policeman.
That person...maybe be his partner, maybe they are doing something very important. Just because she doesn't know that Matsuda is alive doesn't mean that no one in the Metropolitan Police Department knows.
Secret mission?
If it was really a secret mission, Matsuda's appearance today obviously violated the regulations, and he didn't know if anything would happen.
…
Something will happen.
In the apartment, Matsuda Jinpei looked obedient and was being scolded.
The man opposite him changed his usual smiling face. His fair skin was already stained red due to anger, and he was sweating all over.
"Okay, okay, I know I was impulsive, but if I didn't stop him, Sato would kill someone right in front of me."
Matsuda Jinpei comforted his friend, "No matter what, it's because of me. If I were really dismissed from the police and imprisoned because of this incident, I would be uneasy for the rest of my life."
Seeing that his friend was still a little unhappy, Matsuda quickly said with a playful smile: "Okay, okay, I bought your favorite Taiyaki when I came back and ate it to relieve the fire."
Faced with the temptation of delicious food (bushi) and the sincere apology from his friend, he finally compromised. After eating snacks, he returned to the room, wrote the matter clearly in tactful words, sealed it, and told Matsuda Jinpei He shouted and went out.
Matsuda Jinpei sat slumped on the sofa, looking at the ceiling. The white light was a bit dazzling, and he couldn't help but cover most of his eyes with the back of his hand.
He knew that his friend had a secret, and after saving him who was about to die, he asked him not to tell anyone that he was still alive. In order to prevent him from being bored, she would dress him up and go out in different ways from time to time using makeup techniques I learned from nowhere.
But this was just drinking poison to quench his thirst. Matsuda Jinpei was almost tired of this kind of life, and he could only endure it because his good friend saved him again.
His friend had a secret, and he knew it. My best friend is away from home for half the year. Sometimes when I come back, there is a faint smell of gunpowder smoke, and it’s self-evident what I’m going to do.
It was the same today. I didn't know who he was talking to on the phone before he came back. It seemed that his sudden appearance alerted the person, so he came to ask his friend about his specific situation.
But there were only three people present except Sato who knew about his appearance.
The bomber, Wataru Takagi, who is also a policeman, and a young man who doesn't know who he is.
The bomber was so frightened that he almost peed. Takagi Wataru should have been following the police after catching the bomber, but the only one who had the chance to make a phone call was...
Matsuda Jinpei shook his head and didn't think about it. He still believed that his friend was still the same as before, just, brave, and kind, just as they said when they swore an oath to the cherry blossom emblem together.
"I will always give everything for this country and its people."
It was already the next day when Kuroki Jin received the letter. After checking the integrity of the envelope, Kuroki Jin opened it and read it.
The letter first briefly talks about what happened between Matsuda Jinpei and Sato, and then begins to describe what happened after Sato chased him. It is vivid and can easily arouse people's empathy. At a glance, you can tell that the person who wrote the letter is the following person. Kung Fu.
Sato... I'm afraid he has noticed something.
But precisely because it was Sato, things turned around.
Kuroki Jin destroyed the letter, closed his eyes and meditated, then opened his eyes for a long time, with a sharp look in his eyes.
Those two people can't live together anymore.
No one knew what happened on Kuroki Jin's side, but on the police side, Miyamoto Yumi pulled Sato to a corner during a break and asked in a low voice: "How are you now?"
"How about what?"
Miyamoto Yumi observed her best friend's complexion and said, "It seems that you are in a good mood. Is it because you caught the criminal?"
Yes, but not entirely. Catching the criminal was certainly a happy thing, but what made her happy was something she couldn't tell anyone.
So she could only nod and acquiesce to her friend's guess.
"I thought you would hold your phone and cry and then be completely relieved."
"..." Sato thought about the scene silently for a moment. She thought it was too beautiful so she decided not to think about it. Then she subconsciously asked, "What are you relieved about?"
Miyamoto Yumi looked like she was pretending to be stupid with me, "Just what happened to Matsuda-kun. I thought you would completely let go of Matsuda and switch to Takagi's arms."
"I..." Sato blushed slightly because of her, "Don't talk nonsense, Takagi and I have nothing to do with each other."
Indeed, Sato's treatment of Takagi is not much different from others, except for the extra attention he pays because he subconsciously thinks he looks a bit like Matsuda. But maybe this little bit of attention means something in the eyes of others.
Yumi Miyamoto is this “other person”.
