"I'm not so sure either."
Tomoko answered the driver like this.
Of course she knew that Crow had been studying Fujino's weird case files over and over in the past two days, and almost wanted to dig out all the details and read them again. It seems that she is also planning to meet Gu Xing in person to learn more about the issues that were not clarified in the case file.
Gu Xing... Tomoko thought of the most sober and restrained person at the wine table today.
Even after Hong Shi joined and the dinner party turned into a mess, Gu Xing was like an outsider, smiling and watching everyone get drunk.
Work and life are hard enough on weekdays, why should we be so sober when drinking? This poor guy who lives in a basement has too much control over himself.
Having said that... Tomoko looked at the lights of Crow's office again——
In fact, Master Crow should really want to participate in such a party, right? Let's raise a glass and drink with everyone, and then we can rest after getting drunk.
Investigators experience life and death every day, and it seems there are few who don't like to party and drink. Drinking is simply an indispensable tool for investigators to relieve stress and relax.
But at today's party, these people were the police who watched the crow faint at the scene. If you drink a celebratory drink with them, where will the dignity of the investigator rest...
In the past few days, Lady Crow has been going crazy, frequently entering the electric shock enhancement room and repeatedly letting the electric current roll through her body... The administrator of the enhancement room was frightened by her state and kept persuading:
"Sir, please stop. If you continue like this, even if your body's carrying capacity is very high, it will collapse sooner or later."
In the end, the technician simply applied directly to the department and suspended Crow's right to use the enhanced room for one week.
Sure enough, the knock-on-the-eye case still had a huge impact on Crow, and he had to find a way to get through it.
"Master Crow must not have eaten yet..."
Tomoko thought about it, asked the driver to park the car nearby, bought some crow's favorite pork chop rice and canned coffee, and returned to the headquarters building.
Holding the lunch box in his hand... Tomoko suddenly thought that if Adachi knew that Lord Crow was still working overtime at this moment, he would shamelessly follow him to express condolences. That would save money on late night snacks.
"Boom!"
Tomoko knocked on Crow's office door.
After a while, the crow's voice came out——
"Please come in!"
Tomoko opened the door and went in.
Crow's desk was filled with half-opened case files. Tomoko glanced at it, almost all of it was about knocking on the door.
"grown ups,"
Tomoko tidied up the corner of the table a little, trying not to disrupt the order of the files. She made a small space and placed the pork chop rice and canned coffee neatly.
"You'd better take a rest. It's been several days. The investigator's body is also made of human flesh."
"Um……"
After a while, the crow raised its head and said, "It's Tomoko."
Following the smell of rice, she lowered her head and saw the lunch box, with a smile on her face, "Wow, pork chop rice, thank you!"
"After supper, you should go home early. It's not something that can be done in a few nights."
"Um, um...I know..."
Crow was already eating with chopsticks, his mouth was so hot that he couldn't speak, "Well... did you have fun at the party today?"
"Fortunately, the red-shirted man almost blew up the party."
"Haha, I knew it. Do they have two more games to go to..."
"You guessed it right."
"Is Gu Xing here too?"
"Well, I followed until the second game. Looking at the situation, I think there will be three or four games."
"Pity,"
Crow picked up the coffee, pulled out the easy-pull ring, and there was a bang.
"This place is so hot, Gu Xing must have drunk a lot. If I had known this, I would have joined in the fun, and while Gu Xing was drunk, I could have asked him some weird details about Fujino. These few days When I look at the case file, I always feel that he did not explain everything he said."
"Ah...is that so? Does Lord Red Shirt know?"
"It should be clear,"
Crow Crow took a sip of coffee, "It's just that there's no need to go into details. Gu Xing is a policeman, not a prisoner, so why should he cling to other people's privacy."
Moreover, Hong Shi's judgment was probably correct. Grandma Satomi's appearance was probably because someone committed suicide in the first few rooms and triggered the rules. It has little to do with Gu Xing.
What was a little strange was how Gu Xing could be so determined to change rooms with Ji Long. If someone hadn't committed suicide in the front room, his choice would have been death. "
"Didn't Gu Xing say that he signed the contract with Grandma Li Mei's real name? What if this method works?"
"The probability of success is the same as Mars hitting the earth. Unless it is the signature of Grandma Satomi herself, it is not necessarily... Do you think there are people in this world who are really willing to sacrifice themselves for others? I don't think it is possible."
"Tonight, Master Hong Shirt has been trying to trick Gu Xing into becoming her assistant,"
Tomoko smiled and said: "But when the show ended, we still didn't succeed. Instead, Adachi signed the assistant contract.
This Gu Xing is too sober. This party was so hot that he didn't even get high. I think even if you go there, it won't be much different than when you see him again. So no need to worry. "
"That's it..."
When Tomoko left the building, she looked back and saw that the light in Crow's office was still on. She suddenly felt that the investigators she knew were quite cute.
Crow Office.
After Tomoko left, Crow turned over the case file again.
After finally reading them all, she breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head.
Opposite is an open safe, with a black-covered case file on the top floor.
Crow walked over and tried to take out the case file with trembling hands.
The moment her skin touched the cover, a strong sense of fear instantly overwhelmed her, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away in an instant.
"Isn't it still okay?"
"After watching so many knock-knocking cases and experiencing such high-intensity electric shock reinforcement, can't it still numb my subconscious fear?"
Crow collapsed on the ground, the huge frustration almost knocking her down completely.
She struggled and took out the gray family photo from her arms. The colorful girl in the lower left corner stung her eyes and made her cry.
"When will humans be able to conquer the monstrous? It seems like they will never be able to."
This was just one of her countless painful nights, and she didn't know if this pain would ever end.
The night is long and will be longer.
Dawn is the end of who knows how long.
"God, help me."
Saying this sentence again, Crow trembled all over, feeling that his voice became a little strange, ethereal and ethereal, echoing in the office, and then passed through the photo in his hand, running towards a void tunnel...
…
"Who is speaking?"
Hidero Terai, a veteran detective from the Criminal Division of Jing'an Police Station, woke up from a drunken dream and found that he was still in a taxi.
He looked out the window.
Although it was late at night, the street lights were brightly lit. There were no pedestrians on the road and few vehicles.
I don’t know when it started to rain, and the water was misty, like another world.
"Where are we?" he asked the driver.
"We'll be there soon," the driver replied.
"All right……"
Yinglang leaned back in his seat and took out several plastic bags from his arms. The bag contained fresh ingredients previously packed from the barbecue restaurant. He took advantage of the time when everyone was drinking and singing and asked the waiter to add more money. Of course, the money was included in the general ledger.
I can improve my meal for my wife and children.
This is a small wish that Yinglang, who was heavily in debt due to buying stocks, has had for a long time, but it was never fulfilled when everyone was drunk at dinner parties in the Criminal Division.
Yinglang touched the plastic bag and found it was still warm. His heart also warmed up.
"By the way," Yinglang said to the driver: "Remember to leave the payment receipt with me."
"OK."
The driver turned on the car radio, and soothing music sounded in the car. It was "It Rains Again in Nagasaki Today" by Kiyoshi Maekawa——
"It's raining today in Nagasaki,
It also rained in Nagasaki today.
頬にこぼれるなみだの雨に,
My cheeks are covered with raindrops and tears,
Ming も爱も世てたのに,
Give up life and love. "
This kind of song can really make people feel decadent.
Outside the car window, the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
The taxi headed down a dark, unlit street.
…
The red-shirted car drove out of a dark alley. The driver took a shortcut.
In the back seat were Gu Xing and Shengzi, who was almost drunk.
The red shirt sits in the front row.
Although he was already a little dazed, Shengzi was still saying sorry to Hong Shi, "I'm sorry for occupying your seat in the back row, but I really can't go to the front..."
"It doesn't matter, I usually sit in the front row," Hong Shiyi waved his hand carelessly, "I can't see anything from the seat in the back. It's too uncomfortable and doesn't suit my personality."
"Gu Xingjun,"
Shengzi suddenly grabbed Gu Xing's arm, "You know, the transfer application I submitted to Jinghai Police Station was approved today. I'm so happy! That's why I drank so much today."
"You want to go to our place?"
"Haha, yes, that's right,"
When the Holy Son spoke, Xiao Yuan's face turned red and he sneered:
"I just want to go to the criminal class. I have told you a long time ago that it is my lifelong dream to be a criminal policeman and punish evil and promote good. I have applied for it before, but it has never been approved.
Thanks to you and Mr. Red Shirt, I participated in Fujino's bizarre case and made a small contribution. The White Bird Police Department made a special report to the police department on this matter, so...haha, it was approved today. "
"The happy event you told me about last time, and then asked me to keep it secret, is this the matter?"
"Isn't it considered a happy event?"
"Forget it. With a beautiful woman like you sitting in the battle, the old men in our criminal department will probably have no intention of working every day."
"Ah... don't make fun of me." The Holy Son's face turned even redder.
"When do you plan to report for duty?"
"That's not clear... We still have to go through the transfer process, so we don't know for sure,"
The Holy Son tilted his head and looked at Gu Xing, "When I go to work tomorrow morning, I will carry the box and sit next to you, Gu Xingjun, hahaha~"
"I have to ask you to take care of me from now on——"
In the middle of Gu Xing's joke, Shengzi, probably from the alcohol, came to his head, swayed, and fell on Gu Xing, "I can't do it anymore, I want to go home..."
Gu Xing looked up at Hong Shi.
"Don't worry," Hong Shi said, "When we get there later, I'll ask the driver to take her back."
The driver in front was driving. When he heard this, he quickly responded, "Don't worry, sir. I promise to get home safely."
However, Gu Xing was thinking, or he could just slip away on the pretext of sending the Holy Son home.
"Gu Xingjun?"
Shengzi leaned on Gu Xing's shoulder and murmured.
"Um."
"Please walk slower."
"Um?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with you."
