The two people sat on the picnic mat and "talked" for a long time, and finally asked Professor Agasa to come to the rescue and put all the backpacks left by the children in his car.

It was almost evening and the police had blocked information about the drug dealers, but the children's parents still had the right to know. After learning that the Junior Detective Team was in trouble, they all rushed to the hospital.

Matsue Shigure stood at the entrance of the hospital, feeling that he would be surrounded and beaten to death by his furious parents. His already bad complexion turned pale with fear in his mind.

He was so afraid that he had managed to survive in such a terrible place, but would end up dying in such a terrible place.

"I think we should go buy some gifts for the visit before we go in!" he said dryly, "Or maybe it's almost time for dinner, should we go prepare something for everyone?"

Haibara Ai looked at the blond young man speechlessly, who was almost squatting behind Professor Agasa, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Who would have believed that A, who dared to challenge everyone in the organization and even challenged Gin to his face, is now scared by a group of children's parents and dares not go to the hospital!

Dr. Agasa said cheerfully: "Then you two can talk at the door. I'll go check on the children first."

Once the obstruction was removed, Songjiang Xunye's uneasiness became more obvious.

Although she knew that there was something wrong with Matsue Shunya's memory, Haibara Ai still couldn't help feeling tired when watching this scene.

Forget it, don't be angry. A took care of her for so long in the organization, so it's only right that she take care of him back now.

Besides, losing his memory means accepting this world again. She can just regard him as one of those kids in the Junior Detective Team. It's the same to take care of one more child.

Huiyuan Ai convinced herself and instantly felt no longer awkward. She took the initiative to go over and tiptoed to touch his hand: "Let's go, those children and their parents are very easy to get along with, how can this be blamed on you."

Songjiang Shiyu sighed and said solemnly: "But the last time I took their kids out, we also encountered a bomb case."

Huiyuan Ai said "Oh" and asked coldly: "When did you learn how to defuse bombs?"

Of course it comes with the first round [Instructor] card.

Matsue Shigure was imagining the scene in which he was being beaten up and Haibara Ai was shouting "Stop fighting" beside him. He almost blurted out what he couldn't say. Fortunately, the system acted quickly and forcibly muted him.

System: "Pay attention, you idiot! It's not surprising that your brain was exposed!"

Matsue Shigure: “??? How did I know that Shirley would suddenly ask such a thing when she was not here at that time!”

Matsue Shigure: "Snort, Conan, it must be that brat Conan! I'm going to get revenge!! What's wrong with the protagonist? Things change over time, don't bully the poor players!"

System: "Is it necessary to read out something like Leng Heng? Also! It's first the east side of the river and then the west side of the river. Finally, can you not be so dramatic?"

Songjiang Shigure: "Wuwuwu, are you disgusted with me?"

***

From Haibara Ai's perspective, the blond young man opened his mouth but said nothing, and there was some confusion in his eyes.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, wondering how Song Jiangxun had lived alone for so long with such intermittent and erratic memory?

Yes, Haibara Ai already has her own guess about Matsue Shun's current situation.

From the very beginning of her conversation with Conan Edogawa, she had already confirmed that Matsue Shunya had incomplete memory.

He still remembered "Sulli", but past experiences had accustomed him to hiding the truth. Even if he recognized himself, he would not take the initiative to ask.

Haibara Ai guessed that Matsue Shunya himself might not be sure whether he had ever communicated with "Sulli" again during his previous blank memory, so he was afraid that she would misunderstand him, so he pretended to greet her in a half-familiar manner and took tentative action.

Living like this is too tiring.

Haibara Ai couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Matsue Shunye, and received a smile from the blond young man.

The abrasions on his cheek were still obvious, and the sweater was a little loose on his slightly thin body, which made him look even younger.

Compared to the lifeless despair of the past, Songjiang Xunye is now more like a butterfly that has escaped from its cocoon.

"What's wrong?" A butterfly that broke out of its cocoon said, "Xiao Ai, if you change your mind, we can go buy food first!"

"..."The chaotic feelings in Haibara Ai's heart disappeared in an instant.

"No." She said speechlessly, "I've already asked, except for Conan who has a slight concussion, the other children only have superficial injuries and don't need to be hospitalized.

They will be back tonight after they finish the work. If you want to go door to door and apologize later, that’s fine.”

Song Jiangxun also changed his mind in a second: "Then let's go quickly!"

He took Haibara Ai's hand and walked towards the hospital. His back looked particularly lonely, as if he was going to the battlefield.

Huihara Ai remained silent as he led her and continued to sort out her thoughts.

The experimental team in charge of A was abolished due to an accident, and most of the data was destroyed. Although she was an assistant, she still could not access the most confidential part and could not get the countermeasure.

Regarding "memory erasure", it is nothing more than a means for the organization to control its members, which should include not only erasure, but also tampering and filling.

After all, it is impossible for an ordinary person with normal values ​​to accept tasks such as "murder" and "crime" that go beyond his values ​​without hesitation just because his memory has been cleared.

As for why she chose A, Huihara Ai reasonably suspected that this was related to A's previous identity.

Whether it's his natural talent in calculation or his extremely strong willpower, he can't be an ordinary person.

If human memory is a comic book, the contents of each page are connected to each other. When you want to find something, just look for it in your memory.

Then Matsue Shunya's memory is like a comic book with many stains and many irrelevant pages forced into it.

As a result, sometimes when he opened his memory and wanted to find relevant things, he might not be able to open the page because of stains, or he might turn to the wrong page.

And after the memory is closed, it still has the randomness of the next time.

Haibara Ai couldn't imagine what kind of pain it would be if a person had to spend some time thinking about what he had missed and what he had remembered every day when he woke up.

Given A's vigilance, he would never write his memories anywhere.

The only thing that made Haibara Ai feel a little comforted was that Matsue Xun seemed to have unclear memories of his time in the organization.

He couldn't remember his own location, and even had no special reaction when he saw Bourbon, who used the alias Amuro Toru.

Only when he comes into contact with something computer-related or feels a crisis, he is dragged back into the despair that has lasted for many years.

Once he is trapped in those dark memories, all the injuries he suffered in the organization will come back to haunt him.

"When Amuro-nii was looking up information, sparks suddenly appeared on his computer."

"At that time, I felt that Brother Songjiang became much more irritable..."

"Brother Songjiang might be afraid of the dark."

"Habara, he said he was afraid of Mr. Amuro touching the computer, why?"

The words of Edogawa Conan echoed clearly in my ears.

Haibara Ai seemed to see a young man who was forced into a corner by Bourbon and the ignorant Conan.

He sat alone in the dark, shivering from the mental fear and depression, yet he still couldn't make any sound. The only source of light came from his cell phone.

And on the phone, there was no one he could contact, no one who could save him.

I stayed in that environment for thirty minutes.

And when I confessed today, I told her, "There are no negative effects, really."

Stupid liar.

Haibara Ai felt sad and a strange feeling of suffocation filled her chest, making her feel like she was drowning in a trance.

She seemed to realize that this was the biggest mistake she had ever made.

A...or rather, the fact that Songjiang Xun can also appear here means that there must be a force behind him. Whether they want to use him or help him, he has been exposed to the eyes of many forces.

Organizations, the FBI, the police, or other hidden forces, although they are now restraining each other to maintain a balance, what about in the future?

Is she going to be a useless researcher again, hiding in Dr. Agasa's house, watching the tragedy of the past happen again?

Haibara Ai knew very well that if Matsue Shunya encountered any danger, he would absolutely not contact her.

Because she is too weak.

If she could hide away before because she was alone, now...it was time for her to do something.

"Ai, this should be the place, right?" Songjiang Xun's cautious voice woke up Huihara Ai. She raised her head and looked at the room number.

It was indeed here. Even with the door closed, I could hear the children talking inside.

A certain stupid adult now has a bitter face and is still worried about being blamed by the child's parents.

He himself was in no less danger, but he still took all the responsibility on himself...

Where does this sense of responsibility come from?

Huiyuan Ai complained bitterly in her heart, and held Matsue Xunye's hand with her backhand, saying seriously: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

***

Matsue Shigure didn't know what Haibara Ai had been thinking about all the way, because she was really... too short.

He had to bend slightly just to hold her, not to mention seeing her expression as she lowered her head.

He and the system mocked each other all the way until the system ended it with a sentence, "Idiot, you've gone too far!"

Then Matsue Shigure dejectedly led Haibara Ai back the same way, but the little girl didn't know what she was thinking and didn't even notice that he had gone too far.

Matsue Shigure coughed lightly, worried that the idiot in the system was going to trick him, so he asked Huibara Ai again.

This time they made the right choice, but when Huibara Ai raised her head, she said seriously, "I will protect you."

Matsue Shigure: “?”

Matsue Shigure: "!!!"

Matsue Shigure: "Everything!!! Look! What a beautiful goose girl! Hahaha, she's mine, you don't have it!"

System: "... Damn, idiot."

Although I don’t know why Haibara Ai said that, Matsue Shigure feels that he is fine again!

He held his head high and strode through the door, facing a room full of adults and children sitting on the beds.

"Uh...good afternoon?"

Songjiang Shiyu instantly lost his confidence.

***

"Instructor Onizuka! Good afternoon!"

Two hours ago, Date Ko and his two companions entered the campus through the gate, then hid in the office, waiting for Onizuka Hachizo to return from class. They gave them a huge surprise - a scare.

The teacup in his hand almost flew out. Onizuka Hachizo covered his chest with one hand, picked up the teacup with the other hand and smashed it into the faces of the three people.

"You are already so old, why are you still so out of touch!" He roared with full force, "You guys think I didn't die quickly enough after abandoning you, right?"

Three people: "No, no, we don't dare."

After scolding, Onizuka Hachizo looked at the three people standing obediently, and his expression softened a bit: "What? Did you finally remember to come and see me?"

"Is it not possible?"

Jinpei Matsuda walked over to Hachizo Onizuka with a smile, pushed him to his seat, and personally poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.

Facing Onizuka Hachizo's gaze that said "This might be a fake Matsuda Jinpei", Date Ko finally coughed and said, "Instructor, we came back to see you for something."

"I see." Onizuka Hachizo said unhappily, "No one has contacted me in all these years!"

"By the way, where are Suzufu and Jyougu? Why didn't they come with you?"

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and Hagiwara Kenji said calmly: "They are still on a secret mission."

Onitsuka Hachizo had no doubts. He crossed his legs, took the water poured by Matsuda Jinpei, and drank it happily: "Tell me, what's the matter."

Date said: "We suspect that Instructor Songjiang has been resurrected."

“Puff! Cough, cough, cough!”

Before Onizuka Hachizo completely exploded, the three of them explained the whole thing at a very fast speed.

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara produced photos of Shunya Matsue as evidence, as well as secretly taken intelligence materials about the "toy factory bombing case."

After he finished speaking, several people looked at Onizuka Hachizo staring at the photo and fell into silence for a long time.

"Instructor Onitsuka..."

"Instructor Onitsuka!"

"Why are you yelling!" Onizuka Hachizo put Hagiwara Kenji's phone on the table and let out a breath slowly.

Of course, he was very familiar with the blond young man in the photo.

But looking at the young man with his hands on his back and his head down reading a book, Onizuka Hachizo was a little confused and couldn't tell his age for a moment.

Matsue Shigure's parents died in an accident at an early age, leaving him alone in Tokyo. After checking his household registration, he found that he did not have any relatives he could contact, and he was alone from beginning to end.

In the end, even the funeral was handled by Onizuka Hachizo, who was relatively close to him.

He has been teaching for half his life, educating countless generations of students and training countless police officers. Naturally, he knows how high the attrition rate is in this industry.

He had attended many funerals, but after all the twists and turns, the only one he was ultimately responsible for was the Matsue Shigure funeral.

But they were only teacher and student for six months and colleagues for five months.

"What do you want to know?" Onizuka Yazo rubbed his brow and said, "Since you have already asked this child, why do you still suspect that he is Songjiang?"

Matsuda Jinpei said: "Apart from his appearance and surname, he can defuse bombs. It's not like the information says he can defuse bombs with another person. The leader is Matsue Shunye."

"Hagiri and I were there at the time and saw his movements with our own eyes. Matsue Junya's demeanor and movements were very similar to those of the instructor."

Hagiwara Kenji continued, "And Shunya-kun has a strong sense of anti-detection, and his actions sometimes reveal evidence that he has received formal training. He is likely a graduate of our school."

Yi Dahang touched his chin and said, "It's more of my intuition. I always feel that the way he looks at me doesn't seem like it's the first time we met."

Although Songjiang Xunye was embarrassed at the time because he "pretended to be a policeman but ran into a policeman", Yi Dahang still felt that the look in Songjiang Xunye's eyes was somewhat familiar.

And...did he call him Officer Date later? Obviously, Matsuda and the others called him squad leader at that time.

"He must know me." Yi Dahang made the final decision.

With all the doubts laid out so clearly before them, the original three points of doubt gradually turned into seven points. Several people looked at Onizuka Hachizo with sharp eyes, trying to get confirmation from him.

The instructor, who was big and strong but meticulous, was counting on the table with his fingers. He drank water absentmindedly and was not as excited as some people thought.

"So, you guys desperately investigated even though they denied it?" Onizuka Yazo raised his eyebrows and said directly, "Why do you want to find Songjiang?"

"We..." Matsuda Jinpei opened his mouth, and his words disappeared into the air.

What do they want to do with Instructor Songjiang?

Do you simply think that he shouldn't die in his youth?

Want to apologize to him to eliminate the guilt that has accumulated in your heart for many years?

Want to tell him, to prove that they are still on the same path as before? Have they not gone astray because of their youth?

The initial excitement was dealt a heavy blow and the three of them were speechless for a moment.

Kenji Hagiwara had thought about these things, but like everyone else, he still felt unwilling and guilty. These emotions often tormented him late at night and made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

He actually wanted to ask Matsue Shigure another question - about another person.

Although he told others that the misunderstanding had been resolved, Kenji Hagiwara still felt that the way Matsue Shigure looked at him was not as simple as it seemed.

He touched the small Rubik's Cube that had been in his pocket for a long time, the color of its surface having faded a lot, and pursed his lips.

Onitsuka Hachizo sighed: "Whether that guy is the Matsue I know or not, I don't think he wants to confess to you now, right?"

Three people: "..."

That’s true, but also very heartwarming.

"I also have a share of responsibility for what happened to him back then."

Onitsuka Hachizo said: "At the funeral, I only told you a few things briefly, so I'll make it clear today."

He stood up, picked up the phone and said a few words to the instructor next to him, asking him to help teach the last class, and then waved to the three people.

"Come with me to a place."

"Where?"

"Matsue Shigure's home."

[Aaaah! I've been waiting for so long and finally the perspective has switched to the police academy. Although it's also fun to watch Director Ke and Xiao Lan battle wits and courage, I still want to watch the main storyline!]

[Instructor’s wife! It’s a new wife! (Crawling) (Screaming)]

[Okay, is there anyone who wants to make a blind guess? The possibility that Songjiang is the former instructor]

[There is nothing to guess about this. Ai and Matsue have already revealed their cards. He has the Ace and there is no escape.

As for the instructor, isn't Onitsuka Hachizo's attitude wrong? I guess this is the organization's conspiracy, such as stealing the DNA of the former instructor Songjiang to replace A's face, and then using the two of them together to attract hatred.]

[How many times have you been stabbed by knives to become so skilled?]

[Is the brewery's technology that advanced? ? Why do I feel that Songjiang is more likely to be the instructor?

If you think about the plot of the last episode, whether it was when Ai asked, "Can you stand up?" or other events, none of them had the attitude of Ishiba Matsue! ]

[Shit, then the instructor's behavior doesn't make sense? It's impossible for him to disappear for seven years to dye the winery and then come back to defeat the red team from the inside, right?]

[If it's like this, it's a masterpiece (tactical fade away)]

[Don’t be like this, I’m a little scared (hold Song Jiangjiang tightly)]

[Hey, don’t you think the attitude of the police academy team is wrong? Why do they look so guilty? (Alert)]

[Look at Hagiwara's expression! #Picture# His expression of wanting to say something but not being able to is too noticeable! I always feel like there's something big going on (rubbing his hands)]

[The instructor’s home! (Suddenly excited) Does this count as entering someone’s house? In other words, we’re living together!]

***

As the parent of Haibara Ai, Matsue Shigure, who was chatting with other parents with Professor Agasa, suddenly received a prompt from the system.

The system asked mysteriously: "Do you want to see how many of your vests are left?"

Matsue Shigure: "Hmm? Are you working on some new features? I just read the comics and it's a picture of Conan's Dogeza."

System: "Can you open it again?"

Matsue Shigure suddenly had a bad feeling. He opened it doubtfully, then quickly closed it.

…

The parents, who had already talked about the glorious past of the Young Detectives, were completely unable to stop talking. They were all so excited that they didn't notice at all that their children's experience was not like what a first grader should have.

But no matter what, not only did the parents not blame Songjiang Xunye for joining, they were also very grateful for his help and even gave him a portion of their own lunch boxes.

At this time, Ayumi's mother seemed to notice something and said with concern: "Matsue-kun, are you okay? You look a little pale."

"Sorry, I feel a little dizzy." The blond young man held his forehead and smiled helplessly, "It seems that we can't continue the conversation."

The others quickly said, "Yes, it's already late, let's just go home today."

"Conan, we'll see you tomorrow~"

The members of the Young Detective Team went back to their homes, leaving only Haibara Ai and Professor Agasa sitting in the room.

The two fake kids looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

***

"Phew, luckily I managed to get out."

Lying on the hospital bed next to him, Matsue Shigure reluctantly opened the comic and saw at a glance the students he didn't want to recognize as his enemies, standing in front of his familiar apartment.

He suddenly lost his breath and coughed for a long time, holding his chest.

Matsue Shigure: "Is their progress so fast? No, my family is still here?!"

System: "Thank you, instructor. Are you surprised or not?"

Matsue Shigure: "...He is quite rich, but why does he keep this shabby house?"

The player rolled over on the bed and read the comics in a more comfortable position.

Because the main storyline and main NPCs of the first week are all in the police academy, Matsue Shigure didn't pay much attention to this house and had very few things.

The police academy team quickly took a general look and focused on the details - such as the bookcase.

Songjiang Shiyu's hand lingered on turning the page, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "After all these twists and turns, it turns out that I can actually send out my greeting card?"

At that time, he was thinking that his students were about to graduate and that he had almost gained enough experience points, so he was very moved and left them graduation gifts and greeting cards.

As a result, I died too quickly and had to play the second round without sending out the items.

Matsue Shigure originally thought that this apartment had been owned by someone else eight hundred years ago and all the things inside had been thrown away as waste, but he didn't expect that Onizuka Hachizo had kept something else!

Songjiang Shiyu inexplicably felt a sense of joy - the express delivery that had been sent for three years had finally arrived.

He immediately sat up straight and began to draw solemnly.

System: “What are you doing?”

Matsue Shigure: "I am performing a ritual."

System: “?”

Matsue Shigure: "You said they accepted my gift, can you please let go of my vest?"

System: "...I don't think the Buddha will accept it."

Songjiang Shiyu immediately changed the trajectory of his gesture: "It's okay, let's change the teacher this time."

***

When a person like Matsue Shigure who had no ties died, the property would naturally be reclaimed, but for some unknown reason, Onizuka Hachizo chose to apply to his superiors and paid most of the price to keep the house.

Seven years had passed by then, and even the door lock had signs of rust. Onizuka Hachizo opened the door with a key, and several people walked in with their shoes on.

The room cannot be said to be very clean, there is a thin layer of dust everywhere, and you can vaguely see traces of cleaning, but most of it has not been moved in order to maintain the habits of the original owner.

"Is this all you have?" Hagiwara Kenji asked subconsciously.

Onitsuka Hachizo said: "I have not touched anything in there. It is what it was before and what it is now. I cannot even bury that guy's ashes, let alone bury him with the dead."

In fact, he searched the room but didn't find anything suitable for burial. Instead, he saw the things that Songjiang Shigure left for his wronged students.

Hachizo Onizuka had originally planned to keep it sealed like this, and when he could no longer clean it up, he would sell it on, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong along the way.

He shook his head helplessly as he looked at the students who had matured a lot but still had sharp and assertive expressions on their faces.

From some perspectives, Songjiang's goal has been achieved.

But no matter from which angle you look at it, the price he paid was too high.

***

Several people looked around Songjiang Shiyu's small apartment. It had a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and a bedroom, and it was clearly a place where only one person lived.

The apartment was very deserted, with almost no decorations. It seemed that the owner had never considered the possibility of having guests, and did not even buy a few chairs.

The entire living room was furnished with only a wooden table, on which was placed an upside-down teacup. The surface was already covered with dust, and the paper and pen probably could not be used to write anything. Next to it was a bookcase filled with professional books.

Several people saw mechanical theory and chemistry, as well as psychology, which had nothing to do with Songjiang Shigure's profession.

But among the pile of professional books, there was a bunch of cardboard of different colors.

Kenji Hagiwara walked over subconsciously and pulled out the pieces of paper that didn't fit in with the rest of the room.

The handwriting above is very familiar to Long Fei Feng Wu's signature. There will be comments in this handwriting after every review.

——To my dear student, Kenji Hagiwara.

The first one happened to be his.
