Chapter 31

Three o'clock in the morning.

After receiving special training, Shen'er was about to go out with a cup to save his wrinkled police uniform when he saw Furuya Rei sitting at the door next to him.

With his arms covered in bruises from both new and old injuries, the good student Furuya Rei propped himself up and stood up: "Sugawara, are you still awake?"

Jiner knew that Furuya Rei was probably here to get some bandages from Morobushi Kagemitsu: "Furuya-san, who has straight A's, Morobushi isn't in the dorm."

Furiya Rei covered his lower ribs with a worried look on his face. Where else could Hiro go if he wasn't in the dormitory at this hour?

Looking down at his classmate with a bruised face, Shen'er turned around with a smile on his face, went back to the dormitory, took out his medicine box, and threw it to Jōgō Rei.

"Hey, thank you." Fūya Ling, carrying a medicine box, stared at the back of Shier. He seemed to have seen a sense of arrogance in the eyes of this classmate. Was it an illusion?

Then Shen'er, who was boiling water, started humming a song. Some single stupid guys couldn't even win a fight late at night, unlike him who could accept one-on-one guidance from his beautiful wife.

The corridor was very quiet late at night. When Shen'er returned with a cup of boiling water, he saw Jiang Gu Ling, who had already bandaged the wound and was waiting for him at the door with a medicine box.

"Tsk, you are too serious. Just put the things at the door." Shen'er rubbed his hair and said.

Furuya Rei noticed the small red mark on the side of his neck as Jiner moved: "Sugawara, have you ever gone out at night?"

Jiner paused and looked up at Furuya Rei.

"Although it's not as severe as it was in July, you still need to be careful about mosquito bites." Fūya Rei pointed to the side of his neck and said, "I'll get you some mosquito repellent tomorrow morning."

Shigeru curled his lips and said, "Thank you so much, Jyougu."

"Sugawara, do you know where Hiro went?" Furuya Rei asked in surprise, looking at the books spread out in the room. "From the looks of you, you probably didn't sleep at night and are reviewing your lessons."

Tsk, Shen'er was beginning to find this overly serious blond boy annoying. He hadn't expected his observation skills to be so sharp.

Although Shen'er didn't sleep at night, he was not in the dormitory either. He had just climbed back through the window.

"Damn, he might have gone to the phone booth." Shen'er said after guessing.

In fact, Zhu Fujingguang really went to the phone booth. It was mainly because after searching, he learned that there really was such an authoritative organization and membership list in the UK, so he decided to accept the kindness of his classmates and give it a try.

Although it might be a scam, Zhu Fujingguang didn't want to wake up every night and recall that painful nightmare.

Jin was so surprised when he received the call that he didn't react for a few minutes, but he quickly got into the mood and recorded the meeting time.

The twin brother, who was very interested in Jin's work, couldn't help but ask after the other party finished speaking: "Jin, is the commission you received difficult? What surprised you so much?"

"It's just that a new friend I met married my boss and became his wife's wife. I was a little shocked." Jin rubbed his face. The young man didn't expect that they had made such rapid progress after he had been away for only a few days.

Nalu showed a thoughtful expression: "In that case, next time you and I will go visit together and give you a wedding gift."

Jin glanced at his younger brother and knew that his brother, who depended on him for everything, did not accept his words and always felt that Miss Sugawara was a liar. The reason was that if Sugawara Yoshiyo was a good person, then why would she, as his boss, not let him go home?

The joy of reuniting with his brother was diluted by bitterness. Jin knew that he could only keep finding excuses, because he could hug and live with his long-lost brother, but he could never go back to England to live his previous life.

"You can't refuse. It's just right that I will join you in this spiritual ceremony. You need help too, don't you?" Nalu said.

Zhu Fujingguang, who had an appointment with a psychic on the weekend, quietly walked upstairs and saw his childhood friend coming down. The pale-faced young man was stunned for a moment: "Zero, did you just look for me? I just went to the phone booth downstairs."

"Are you in contact with Officer Morobushi?" asked Rei Furuya. He knew that Hiro had a poor relationship with his adoptive parents, and the only relative he could consider close was his older brother Morobushi Takaaki, a police officer in Nagano Prefecture who was regarded as Hiro's idol and role model.

"Yeah." Zhu Fujingguang answered and touched the back of his neck: "My brother is very happy to know that I was admitted to the police academy. He wants to meet me this weekend."

Rei Furuya noticed his friend's little gesture, which was an unnatural gesture Hiro made every time he lied.

However, Furuya Rei didn't say it out loud, but smiled quietly: "I originally wanted to invite you to attend the police academy social gathering, but it seems that you don't have time, Hiro."

This was also a lie, because Rei Furuya only heard about this event from his classmates, but he had constant friction with his classmates and naturally had no chance to get invited after getting along with them.

But it was obvious that Fūya Rei found that his friend was relieved after he finished speaking.

There was a relaxed smile on Rei Furuya's face, but he felt depressed inside. What happened that made Hiro lie to him?

The famous detective Furuya Zero who was online showed a sharp look to his friend who looked sober. In an instant, various thoughts flashed through his mind, such as whether his friend had encountered some difficulties, or was he a bad guy.

Zhu Fujingguang was completely unaware of his friend's increasingly unreliable speculations. The blond and dark-skinned man, with his Bourbon face revealed in the moonlight, decided to secretly follow his friend to investigate the matter over the weekend.

The first week passed quickly, and Shen Er found that although he didn't like this place very much, the people here didn't have complicated ideas. He and everyone were familiar enough to remember each other's names.

In addition to his outstanding academic performance, he received many invitations from classmates, including invitations to join a fraternity, to help with coaching at the gym, and to have a manly boxing fight.

Seeing that everyone was wearing police academy uniforms, Shen Er swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, "It's easy to talk about, just pay first," and instead showed the ring on his ring finger: "I'm so sorry, I have to spend my weekend with my wife, I think you can understand."

Of course I understand,

The students who were eating exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect that there was a married man among them.

Some female cadets who had a crush on this classmate with tactile muscles even wailed, "How can a handsome guy like Sugawara marry so young? Why don't our classmates marry so young just because they look too mature?"

Sensitively aware of being called out, squad leader Ida Ko raised his head with a smile and said, "Actually, I have a girlfriend too, and she's about to meet her parents."

The classmates exclaimed again that Captain Ida was not single.

Hagiwara Kenji stroked his chin and looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu beside him: "Are you interested in the social gathering this weekend?"

Zhu Fujingguang shook his head: "I have a date, sorry."

"What? You have a girlfriend too?" Hagiwara Kenji, who thought he was quite popular among the girls, took a breath. Could it be that when he organized a social gathering and asked around for single men, only he and his brother were there?

"No, it's with my family." Zhu Fujingguang shook his head, still saying the same thing as last night.

Kenji Hagiwara didn't ask any further questions, but he didn't expect that they would meet again in the evening.

In the evening, Hagiwara Kenji, who was standing outside the izakaya waiting for his classmates to arrive, saw this scene: Sugawara Yoshiyo and Sugawara Shinji holding hands, followed by a pair of twin brothers and Morofushi Kagemitsu.

Kenji Hagiwara was not that curious at first and had no intention of exploring his classmates' privacy until he noticed Rei Furuya secretly following the back of the crowd not far away.

Hagiwara Kenji, feeling like a kitten reaching out its claws, couldn't help but pull out his phone: "Come out, Jinpei-kun, let's see something strange going on."

"Why do we have to go to a convenient hotel?" Zhu Fujingguang was a little puzzled. Going into such a place with a minor was a torture for him who had a high sense of morality.

"Because there is a cemetery behind the Convenient Hotel, the effect will be better if we choose this place." Jin replied.

"Don't worry, we are not scammers." Sugawara Yoshiyo comforted the classmate who looked very nervous.

The huge diamond was so dazzling that it hurt Zhu Fujingguang's eyes a little. "I just never thought of seeking help from this aspect before." The young man paused and his breathing became a little rapid. "Can I see my parents?"

"Jin is a real psychic. If he can't summon souls, no one in Japan can do it." Naru said.

They were even glad that they were in a convenient hotel instead of outside. You know, although Japan's economy is still relatively developed, psychics were once very popular and had a huge market.

Sugawara Yoshiyo opened the door with the key. After everyone went in, she looked at the corner of the corridor and said, "You've been following me for so long, why don't you come in?"

Furiya Rei walked out from the shadows, his expression serious: "Sugawara-san, what are you doing?"

"You can go in and take a look, but you have to keep quiet and not talk the whole time," said Sugawara Yoshiyo.

Fūya Ling nodded, and when he stepped forward to the door, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you coming in?"

Sugawara Yoshiyo shook her head. She didn't know whether the experience of the summoned soul would be recorded in the files of the Death Office. It would be best if it didn't appear.

Thinking this, Sugawara Yoshiyo walked downstairs and saw Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei who were caught looking embarrassed.

The situation was actually a little awkward, but Sugawara Yoshiyo remained calm, crossing her arms as she glanced at the two of them: "Hagiwara, is this the kind of social gathering you were talking about?"

"Ha." Hagiwara Kenji rubbed his hair and said, "Don't get me wrong, our gathering place is the izakaya downstairs. We should be the ones asking, Sugawara, you and Morobushi-san, to meet at this place."

Matsuda Jinpei, with his hands in his pockets, looked at the place behind her and asked in disbelief, "Did that guy Furuya Rei go in too?"

For a moment, the faces of Sugawara Yoshiyo and Hagiwara Kenji turned strange and they looked at the black-haired curly-haired boy together: "Is this all you care about?"

The door opened again, and Shen Er looked at the two people outside with a sour expression: "If you are so worried, you two should come in too."

The curtains in the dark room were all drawn, and there were restraints/chains on the four sides of the transparent round table. There was a circle of candles and a photo on the table. Jin Zheng used a lighter to light the candles for the final preparation.

As someone who often dates girls, Hagiwara Kenji's first reaction was that this was a divination ritual similar to Tarot cards, and the scene was very pure, without anything that would embarrass Sakura: "Is this divination?"

Furuya Rei frowned. He didn't believe in these things, but he had no choice: "Hiro, will this really work?"

Naru placed an A4 paper next to the table, and then sprinkled the prepared black powder evenly on it.

"The ceremony can begin." Jin said.

When the strange black-haired boy lowered his head and muttered to himself, Kenji Hagiwara keenly realized that the temperature in the room had dropped and strange air currents were blowing from all directions.

"What do you want to ask?" Naru looked at Zhufu Jingguang.

Zhu Fujingguang's attention was attracted by the black-haired boy who looked up at him. Although his appearance and facial features were completely different, the inexplicably familiar look in his eyes made Zhu Fujingguang suddenly recall the memories of his time with his parents.

"Fifteen years ago, the murderer who killed my parents at dinner has not been caught yet." Zhu Fu Jingguang took a deep breath. "I was hiding in the closet that day and didn't see clearly. Please, if it was really my father or mother, can you tell me what the murderer looked like?"

The police academy team, who were originally skeptical, opened their eyes wide in horror, because the black powder on the white paper was moving. After some of it was blown away, it could be seen that what was left on the white paper was a portrait of a person.

Jinpei Matsuda couldn't even help but look at the bottom of the table immediately. According to his common sense, the most likely scenario was that the table had been tampered with, and the black lead powder was probably caused by magnetism or wind.

But there was nothing there, just an ordinary glass table top. However, after accidentally pressing a button, the whole table began to tilt at a 90-degree angle and everything fell down.

The atmosphere was completely ruined and everyone rushed forward to extinguish the candles.

Matsuda Jinpei, who hadn't expected this development, simply apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll pay for the damaged carpet."

Zhu Fu Jingguang felt lost. Actually, he wanted to say a few words to his parents just now. Even if they didn't talk about the guy who ruined his life and childhood, it would be nice to have a chat.

But thankfully, they now have pictures.

Zhu Fujingguang picked up the picture and looked at the man in the picture, and suddenly his whole body froze. Jiang Gu Ling looked at him worriedly and found that his childhood friend had a very complicated expression on his face.

"I've seen this guy when I was looking up case information on the computer in the police academy. His child used to be my father's student." Zhu Fu Jingguang said weakly.

His heart was beating fast, and Zhu Fujingguang realized that after using such an absurd method, he might have reached the closest place to the truth.

Before leaving, Jin couldn't help but look at the young men in the room. "Summoned souls, due to their spiritual power, often possess powers unimaginable to ordinary people. Mr. Zhufu, your father left a message for you."

"We" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked puzzled.

"Your father is very concerned about you. He told you and your friends to take care of yourselves. He also said," Jin paused, "that you all look like you will not live long. He hopes you will take care of yourself."

Shen'er in the crowd showed a gloomy expression. The sorcerer who could kill him probably had not been born yet. Tian and Tyrant were full of confidence in their own strength.

"By the way, this is a wedding gift. Congratulations." Nalu took out the prepared gift and said, he still had great respect for the man and woman who helped his brother.

The police academy team, who had not yet walked far, also noticed the movement here. Zhu Fujingguang showed a surprised expression. He did not expect that their classmates would be a newlywed couple.

"Congratulations to you, newlyweds, for choosing to come and participate in the police special training. You are truly a couple with character." Everyone sent their blessings.

Amidst the blessings, he put his arm around Sugawara Yoshiyo's waist. He was very satisfied that he could finally show his love openly, and the blessings he received made him feel very good.

"Is it really okay for you not to go to the social gathering now?" Sugawara Yoshiyo couldn't help but ask.

After being reminded, Hagiwara Kenji urgently pulled his friends outside. It was obvious that they didn't want to leave a bad impression on the cute girls.

"We haven't found friends to celebrate with after registration. Do you two have time later?" Sugawara Yoshiyo looked at the remaining two classmates.

"Of course, I'm starving." Furuya Rei patted his friend on the back: "Hiro, eat and drink enough, then cheer up and investigate!"

The dinner was chosen by voting at the izakaya where Hagiwara attended the social gathering. The reason was that everyone placed bets to see which boy would be the most popular in the end.

Jiner bet on Matsuda Jinpei, Naru and Furuya Rei followed suit, Morofushi Kagemitsu chose to forfeit, and Sugawara Yoshiyo and Jin bought Hagiwara Kenji without thinking.

While waiting, Sugawara Yoshiyo's cell phone rang.

From Kong Shiyu The woman was found, 23-year-old full-time housewife Yuji Kaori.

Sugawara Yoshiyo clicked on the picture, which seemed to be a screenshot from a surveillance camera.

A short-haired woman with sutures on her forehead was stroking her belly and talking to a doctor. The wall next to her showed their location: Miyagi City First Maternity and Child Health Hospital.
