In Zhu Fu's old house, Wang Yue was placed in a room on the second floor to rest.
The remaining two people ran to the warehouse to look through old photos.
After a day of calming down, Mochizuki's strong desire to get the IOU was actually very weak.
It’s just that I’m holding on to the mentality that I can’t give up halfway.
Seeing the strange atmosphere between the two people, coupled with the mysterious look, Mochizuki stayed in the room to rest without saying a single unnecessary word.
Officer Morofushi and Mr. Midorikawa should have known each other for a long time. Since they had something to talk about, she might as well not disturb them.
Mochizuki yawned, wrapped herself in the quilt and fell asleep.
In the warehouse, Zhu Fu Gaoming moved a pile of debris away and quickly pulled out a few photos from a dilapidated cabinet.
"With these photos, it should be enough for business!"
Midorikawa Hikaru picked it up and looked through it. It was indeed a photo of him, but it was from his childhood, which was completely different from what he looked like now.
"That's enough."
"Want a drink?"
Zhu Fu Gaoming locked the door of the warehouse and picked up the hoe placed aside to signal.
"well?"
Midorikawa Hikaru looked at his brother with some confusion. No one had lived in the old house for a long time. They bought some necessities when they came, but there was no wine in it.
"Did you forget?"
Zhufu Gaoming pointed to the cherry blossom tree in the yard, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
Also, when they buried the wine, nothing happened to their parents, Jingguang was not what he is now, and they were not forced to separate.
"Is it the wine that mom and dad brought us to bury?"
Midorikawa Hikaru's eyes were a little sour, and his voice was a little choked.
The past is still vivid in his mind. He has found the enemy who killed his parents, but his relatives will never come back.
"That's right, we agreed to taste it together at the beginning, but I didn't expect that so many years have passed."
"I just have a chance today, let's have a drink!"
Zhu Fu Gaoming took off his suit jacket, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and walked to the place where he buried the wine with his hoe.
The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and it can no longer be seen that it has been taken care of before. Fortunately, the position of the cherry blossom tree will not change.
The two brothers determined the location and started digging with hoes and shovels.
The two of them were still young when they buried the wine. In order to take care of them, their parents put some rice wine with very low alcohol content in it.
But after such a long time, the originally delicious rice wine had already deteriorated, leaving only the higher-alcohol sake.
The two of them were not disappointed. They took out several well-preserved jars of wine and buried the rest on the spot.
On the second floor, Wang Yue had long dreamed of meeting Duke Zhou, and the two brothers had no intention of waking her up.
Zhu Fu Gaoming took out the photos of his parents from the drawer, arranged the sacrifices, and took out two small wine glasses from the cabinet.
He carefully poured the wine in, then handed it to his younger brother and motioned for him to place it on the altar table. The two brothers knelt on the ground together.
After their parents died, their family fell apart. This was the first time Midorikawa Hikari came to pay homage to his parents, and it was with his brother.
"If you dare to help them, it won't cause any trouble to your work, right?"
Zhufu Gaoming returned to the kitchen and quickly plated the dishes he bought from the convenience store to go with the wine.
He picked up the wine bottle and filled their glasses, and asked with some uncertainty.
He didn't know Jingguang was in such a situation at the time, he just thought he was going to quit his job as a police officer.
And because I couldn't contact anyone for a long time, I asked them to inquire.
"It'll be okay, I can handle it."
Midorikawa Hikaru gently took the glass and drank it all. The danger of the organization was too high, so he never thought about contacting his family since he entered deeply.
"Then what happened to Officer Mochizuki?"
Zhu Fu Gaoming was silent for a long time, still a little worried. It was not a good thing for an undercover police officer to appear next to an active police officer.
"She is a being outside of the situation."
Midorikawa Hikaru smiled slightly. Although he didn't know what she wanted to do and where she came from, Mochizuki was definitely not from the organization.
"Is that so? Then why don't you wake up Officer Mochizuki, so that you can offer incense to your parents?"
Zhu Fu Gaoming shed his usual serious and rigid expression, and there was a rare hint of teasing in his voice.
"ha?"
Midorikawa Hikaru happened to take a bite of edamame when he suddenly heard his brother's words and almost choked.
"What's wrong, isn't she your friend?"
Zhu Fu Gaoming looked at his younger brother who was blushing, and deliberately pronounced a long sound on the word "friend".
"We are just ordinary colleagues."
Midorikawa Hikaru looked at his brother helplessly, wondering if older people were more interested in matchmaking.
It seems that Officer Mochizuki is always being urged to go on blind dates recently, and Kazami even reported this matter to Zero.
"It's really a pity. It seems that you need to return the things to others as soon as possible."
Zhu Fu Gaoming shook his head seriously, with a hint of regret in his tone, but a strange smile on his face.
"What on earth is this? Have I seen Officer Mochizuki before?"
Midorikawa Hikaru was a little unsure. He had been stimulated as a child and some of his memories had been forgotten, so he didn't know what he had taken from her.
However, he and Mochizuki both grew up in Tokyo, so they might have actually met each other.
"It's an IOU handwritten by Officer Mochizuki. When you were in junior high school, I sent you something once, and the IOU was placed inside."
Zhu Fu Gaoming didn't show off, and briefly and concisely described what happened at that time, but deliberately omitted the specific content of the IOU.
"So Wangyue wants to repay the money and get the IOU back at the same time."
Midorikawa Hikaru seemed to understand something, but he always felt that something else was going on inside.
"What she wants to get back is not as simple as an IOU. As for what it is, you can see for yourself. Anyway, the beneficiary on it is you."
Zhu Fu Gaoming was leaning against the wall, his thin cheeks looking a little lonely, and he was looking out the window in a daze.
As dawn breaks and the sun is about to come out, they have to return to their respective posts and work hard for the next tomorrow.
"Jingguang, protect yourself!"
Zhufu Gaoming said solemnly.
As an older brother, he couldn't stop his younger brother from doing what he wanted to do, and as a police officer, he couldn't stop him, because if it were him, he would have made the same choice.
It's just that he doesn't want to experience the pain of loss again, so you must be good.
"elder brother!"
The hand placed under the table was slowly clenched. Midorikawa Hikaru didn't know what to say. He had always been the one being taken care of.
My brother was left alone in Nagano Prefecture, facing the tragedy of his parents' death alone. He finally received a call from himself and had to pretend to be sensible to persuade him.
Now he has his brother to worry about again.
"I will be fine!"
Midorikawa Hikaru whispered back that he would come back safely if he tried his best.
"That's good. Officer Mochizuki should be getting up soon. There are still some ingredients in the kitchen, so I'll leave them to you."
Zhufu Gaoming patted his brother on the shoulder, stood up from the mat, and began to clear the things on the table.
