While Asakura was pretending to start a company, Toru Amuro came to the police academy, which he had basically not been to since graduation.
As a public security policeman, he needs to perform undercover tasks. Obviously, he cannot revisit his hometown anytime and anywhere like ordinary graduates.
The purpose of his coming here this time is to confirm whether Asakura's past experience is really what Kiyomoto Masataka said.
Of course, this is not because Amuro has doubts about Kiyomoto, but he has only recently understood the truth that even close friends do not understand each other 100%.
Matsuda Jinping knew about the death of Zhu Fu Jingguang, but refused to tell the source of the news.
You must know that the undercover police officer died in the mission. In order to protect his family and friends, his identity cannot be exposed until the mission is completely completed.
And theoretically speaking, in Toru Amuro's eyes at this moment, the only people who knew about Zhu Fu Jingguang's death were the top brass of the public security police.
If the organization knew the exact information about Zhu Fu Jingguang, he wouldn't be able to hide it for long.
Although out of the vigilance of an undercover agent, he had doubted whether he had been exposed, but after recalling that Brandy lived and ate with him not long ago, and took him to investigate magic-related matters, he seemed not to take him seriously at all. The appearance of an outsider.
Such a performance made Toru Amuro ask himself, if he had stood in that position and faced an undercover agent lurking in with evil intentions, would he be able to do this.
The answer is impossible.
If this is how organizations treat undercover agents, then why do they need to act cautiously and why do they still worry about having their identities exposed?
In other words, Toru Amuro feels that his current situation is still safe, and Brandy has no doubts about his identity.
As a result, Matsuda only had one remaining source of information.
Did you get the news from the police?
From a God's perspective, the only people who knew about Zhu Fu Jingguang's death were Asakura Shin and the top brass of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Bureau. Putting aside the former, Amuro had already eliminated him as a suspect due to misinformation.
Under confidentiality regulations, the latter two cannot disclose information to unrelated police officers in the explosive ordnance disposal squad.
This means that Matsuda must have some kind of relationship with the police.
So what would this relationship be?
It's very simple. As an intelligence agency, it is reasonable to place spies in other systems. After ruling out all other possibilities, even though Toru Amuro felt that this speculation was very inconsistent, after looking over it, it seemed that there was only such an explanation.
only--
He really never thought about how his friend who once joined the explosive ordnance disposal class with Akihara Kenji could have another identity in private.
Not appropriate.
After coming to the conclusion, Amuro Toru himself rejected this idea. There must be some secrets that he didn't know. According to his understanding, Matsuda Jinpei could not be such a person.
However, despite this, he still noticed one thing. He only believed in Masataka Kiyomoto's words about Asakura, but did not know his true appearance.
After realizing this in a flash of inspiration, he suppressed his doubts about Matsuda for the time being and concentrated on the business at hand.
Perhaps it was some kind of alma mater complex. After discovering that Asakura Makoto and himself went to the same police academy, Toru Amuro had a vague feeling that Asakura Makoto's fall into the organization might have a hidden agenda.
Just like Kudo Shinichi felt that people who liked Sherlock Holmes were not bad people, Toru Amuro also felt that he was not a pure person after hearing Asakura's remarks about justice in front of him, and now that he had found out his origin. of evildoers.
If it can be influenced, it will have one more power to defeat the organization.
After dressing up and returning to the school where she had been away for a long time, Amuro looked at the plants and trees on the roadside, feeling nostalgic in her heart. At that time, the five of them were still there, but now...
Forget it, he shook his head, put the messy thoughts out of his mind for the time being, and walked towards the reservation office.
After some time.
"teacher."
Amuro Toru bowed forward and gave a standard salute.
They were the only two people in the office at this time, so he removed the simple disguise on his face.
"Amuro-kun."
This teacher is over fifty years old, with gray hair on his temples, but his body is still strong, and the traces of muscles under his clothes are particularly obvious.
"Teacher, I would like to ask you about one of your students more than ten years ago. His name is Asakura Makoto."
The teacher here is not Onitsuka Hachiburen, who taught the five-person group, and Asakura Shin is not from the same sect as the five-person group.
"Asakura Makoto?" The teacher held his forehead and thought for a moment.
After all, it has been ten years. No matter how impressive it is, it still takes time to react. What's more, although the surname Asakura is not a popular one, you can still encounter some after a long enough time.
Soon, the teacher reacted and looked a little excited.
"Are you talking about Asakura-kun?"
As soon as he heard this tone, Toru Amuro knew that the other person was talking about the person he wanted to know, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, it's him! Please tell me all the news you know."
"No problem. I haven't heard that name for a long time. Let me think about where to start."
The teacher took the thermos cup on the table, used the bottle cap to catch a cup of tea, took a sip in his hand, and recalled what happened ten years ago.
"Your teacher at that time, Onizuka, was the most powerful teacher in the school. He trained the best students every year. And Asakura-kun's grades at that time, hehehehe."
At this point, he laughed out loud, obviously proud to have such a student.
But later on, the picture changed.
"It's a pity that Asakura was about to graduate a year ago. For some reason, he dropped out of school and disappeared from school. Otherwise, he might be an excellent policeman now."
Excellent policeman, this evaluation actually speaks volumes.
If his performance in the police academy was not worthy of this profession, the teacher who taught him would not have said such things.
"Then he has a good relationship with a man named Kiymoto Masataka, right?"
Toru Amuro put aside questions about Asakura's character and conduct, and instead asked about his relationship with Kiymoto.
"Masataka Kiyomoto? I have no impression of this person."
After so many years, Kiyomoto Masataka has not achieved a prestigious position. If he is the police chief, this teacher will definitely remember him, but in the profession of public security police, one cannot boast about his achievements, so naturally he will not be in this position. What impression does it leave on the teacher's mind?
After that, Amuro asked some more questions, and the teacher answered accordingly.
The hour hand of the clock on the wall moved nearly two divisions, and more than an hour passed.
"Well, that will cause trouble for you."
Seeing that he had asked almost all the questions, Toru Amuro stood up and prepared to leave, but before he left, the teacher stopped him.
"The reason why you came to ask him suddenly today must be because something happened to him."
The student who became a police officer came to ask about the past students' experiences in detail. The experienced old policeman immediately understood the reason for the matter. He looked solemn and said seriously.
"If you meet him one day, you can ask him if he still remembers what he said to me on the day he broke the shooting record of the police academy."
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
He is indeed a student of the police academy and the senior member of the Five.
