[Oh my, my dead CP jumped up and stabbed me]

[Help me, hahahaha, wuwuwu, I forgot about Matsue after I said Akabane died, and now I’m throwing glass candy at people, why do you have to be so quick!]

[Aaaaaah! Matsue Jiangshashaha in women's clothing! How did my sense of incongruity get eaten away!! This kind of lustful, pure, and wet body binding (nonsense)]

[Upstairs, everyone is watching, put on your pants]

[Finally saw Akabane's true face!! I have to say that he does look a lot like Hagi, but their temperaments are easily distinguished. The 1.80-meter-tall girl's outfit is really fun. Also!! Is this how the organization uses their cell phones?]

[I am dying of laughter, how could they come up with this trick!! Orange eh hehe, the policewoman understood it immediately]

[I didn’t want to understand it right away, but I did (choked)]

Before arriving at the lair, Subaru Akabane's phone received messages from the police and school.

After making sure that everyone was awake and there was nothing serious, an inside and outside operation was officially launched.

The only ones who were confused were the two kidnappers who tried to "unload" the truck after parking.

"Brother, did we kidnap so many people?"

"What else? Could it have grown wings and flown out? Hurry up and move! By the way, the drug provided by the boss is really good. No one has woken up yet."

"Tomorrow morning the boss will bring people to pick up the goods. In addition to these police girls, the rest will be taken away as well. You and I will have to work hard tonight to keep an eye on them!"

"Where should we put them?"

"Put it with the others. The police are responsible anyway. Even if he wakes up and sees others, he will probably be restrained and unable to escape."

"Hahaha! Big brother is wise—Ouch!"

"What's going on?"

"I felt someone touch my waist?!"

One of the kidnappers held his waist in fear and looked around, but he could only see the gloomy woods. The blonde policewoman he was carrying on his shoulders was unconscious with her eyes closed and looked normal.

"You've gone crazy thinking about women, haven't you? Hurry up, there are still a few left behind!"

“Ah~!”

"What's the matter?"

"Yes, something is touching my butt!!"

The kidnapper walking in front stopped, looked around, and carefully examined the unconscious policeman, but saw nothing unusual.

"Don't make such a fuss. Not to mention that the policeman is still unconscious, if he wakes up, his first reaction will be to touch your butt?"

"Besides, she is a police officer after all. It's not surprising that she wakes up and beats you up. Why would she flirt with you?"

This made so much sense that even the kidnapper who was touched felt that he was wrong.

He walked tremblingly, but he felt something lightly brushing his back.

There seemed to be a low, hoarse laugh ringing in my ears, coming and going without a trace.

After failing to find the result for many times, the kidnapper was a little frustrated. He began to wonder if he had done too many shameful things and had attracted a ghost. He immediately cried and said that he didn't want to do it anymore.

That startled gesture annoyed the other kidnapper greatly, and as they talked, a conflict broke out between the two.

"...You ask me why I know so much?" Hagiwara Chisu said speechlessly, "I was just carried on the shoulders of another kidnapper!"

She was carried with her head facing the criminal's back, so she clearly saw Matsue Shigure's evil actions.

"At the time, I thought it was too risky for Songjiang to do this, but the two criminals did quarrel and chose to keep watch separately.

Akabane took advantage of the opportunity to defeat the weaker criminal, took his cell phone, and found the specific information about their transaction the next day.

Hagiwara Chisu recalled: "Now that I think about it, they must have made up their minds in advance to sow discord and seize the initiative."

Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows. "This requires at least an understanding of the basic personalities of the two kidnappers. It's unlikely that they planned this in advance, but didn't they discuss it much in the car?"

"No." Hagiwara Chisawa shrugged. "That's why I said at the beginning that Akabane can be seen as an iceberg version of Matsue. The ideas of these two people are really in sync."

Even though so many years have passed, Chisawa Hagiwara still remembers it vividly. Not only was this the first big case she encountered after joining the police force, it also broadened her thinking and allowed her to no longer be bound by conventional problem-solving methods.

Not to mention that she made friends with Matsue Shigure and Akabane Subaru this time, which brought a big turning point to her police academy life.

"So..." The brown-haired policewoman held her helmet and looked up at the roof of the car, saying tiredly, "If one of them gets into trouble, the other one will also get into trouble. I'm not surprised at all."

Because we are so in tune with each other, like another self in the world, it is particularly painful when we lose each other.

******

Hagiwara Chisu and others were taken to a dark cellar. The smell inside was very bad and there was only a very dim light bulb that could vaguely illuminate the small place.

There were five dishevelled young girls imprisoned inside. They had obviously resisted and had many wounds on their bodies, but because they had not eaten, they no longer had the strength to fight.

Even if other people were sent in, they just glanced at them with numb and desperate eyes.

After the noise outside died down, the policemen immediately stood up, untied the ropes, and revealed their identities to the girls' surprised eyes.

"That's great!" One of the girls burst into tears. She grabbed Chisaku Hagiwara's hand and refused to let go. She choked and said, "I thought I would die here."

"Mom and Dad...woo woo woo."

"Go home, can we really go home now?"

The girls were instantly excited, but within a few seconds they were interrupted by Subaru Akabane's cold voice.

Normally, there should be no signal in such a remote place, but Subaru Akabane's hidden mobile phone was working smoothly.

The tall black-haired guy squatted in front of one of the girls and asked, "Do you remember your home address and phone number?"

Girls: "?? Boys?!"

They immediately became alert, fearing that there might be fraud.

The girl who was holding Chitose Hagiwara quickly pulled her hand back and asked warily, "Are you a boy too?"

"I'm a girl!" Hagiwara Chisu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "This is also our classmate!"

The tall, blonde policewoman who had been standing still nearby blinked and smiled sweetly at them.

Then, "she" naturally walked to Akabane Subaru, took his phone, and approached the girl.

The girl who was deceived by the beautiful sister obediently gave her home address and phone number, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard a cold voice.

"Girl, remember this from now on. Not all girls who wear short skirts and long hair are young ladies."

"Well, am I good-looking?"

The blond policeman in front of me had a bright smile, and even his voice sounded like a clear male voice.

girl:"!!!"

"Puff, cough, cough!" The female police officer who was helping nearby was about to burst out laughing, and for a while, the sounds of holding back laughter were heard one after another.

"You are too vindictive, aren't you, Songjiang?" A female police officer said with great amusement, "The little girl is nervous, is it necessary to scare her like that?"

"I'm not trying to scare you! But, in fact, this possibility is very small. After all, few people are as good-looking as me, right?"

Someone spoke confidently and even winked at the girl in front of him.

"Hahaha, my god, Songjiang, I didn't know you had this kind of personality..."

“Indeed.”

"Look, Akabane said—"

“It’s really beautiful.”

"ah?"

"Hahahaha! Of course!" Someone laughed with his hands on his hips.

The female police officers were choked: “…” How could they respond to such frankness?

Hagiwara Chisawa was sitting in the corner at the time, watching the girl next to her fall on her shoulder with laughter. Even though her body was very weak, her smile was as bright as a kitten's.

The tense and even sad atmosphere was completely dispelled. Even when the girls contacted their families, they were not too excited and became much calmer.

It wasn't something that Matsue Shigure did alone, Akabane Subaru was his best supporting actor.

They are two magical people, the most tacit partners, whose thoughtfulness and gentleness are both seamless and imperceptible.

The next day, the police sent enough personnel to surround this hidden mountain village with no signal, and arrested the buyer and the leader who came to "inspect the goods" in one fell swoop.

Parents who received calls late at night also rushed over after hearing the news and gave the missing children a warm hug as quickly as possible.

For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic. Crying, cursing, and the frightened roar of the police academy instructors, accompanied by the sound of sirens, symbolized that the matter was coming to an end.

The rescued girls and their parents thanked the police one by one. When they came to thank Akabane Subaru, they were rejected by the young man who had taken off his wig and looked cold.

"I don't need to be thanked, and don't remember me. Just be okay."

"How can I do this? I have to write something down, or do you want me to take a photo with you, Mr. Policeman?"

"Then just remember him."

Subaru Akabane looked to the side and saw a blond young man standing not far away. He was now telling Onizuka Hachizo excitedly about how they outsmarted the kidnappers. The latter was so angry that he took out quick-acting heart pills from his pocket.

"You guys just go to that kind of store! And you're wearing this outfit! What? You even mentioned my name?!"

"Matsue Shigure, get back here!"

After noticing their gazes, Matsue Shigure ran over to their side and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

The family members and the girl told the story again. Matsue Shigure waved his hand and said, "This guy is socially phobic and doesn't dare to look at the camera. It doesn't matter whether he remembers it or not. After all, the police are supposed to protect the masses, right?"

Social phobia.

Hagiwara Chisu, who was hearing this, almost choked by his saliva.

After the family members left, Matsue Shigure patted Akabane Subaru on the shoulder and said, "You can take a picture with me once in a while, you have such a handsome face."

“…That’s not necessary.”

"You're talking as if you're going to be an undercover agent in the future. Do I have to forget about it in advance?"

Subaru Akabane's expression suddenly turned a little ugly.

Songjiang Shigure noticed it, he paused for a moment, then laughed and said: "It's just a joke, I will never forget you no matter who I forget."

"After all, you are my only partner."

****

The police academy memories in the comics ended here, and Chisawa Hagiwara's words stopped at one sentence -

"So I was really happy to see his new partner. It would be great if Songjiang could come out of the shadows."

In reality, the stumbling stories between Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda did not have many explosive points, and they were all things he knew.

Instead, Matsue Shigure was distracted by what he was saying and started reading comics.

then--

Songjiang Shigure exploded, the system exploded, the forum exploded, and the whole world exploded for a while.

It was as if everyone had swallowed N eight eggs alive!

[Aaaaah! The flag that spanned nine years can still poke me! On what basis?!]

[The idea of ​​cpBE with me was there nine years ago!]

[Woo woo woo, just kidding, but I really forgot about you]

[sos, the interaction between the seniors is so sweet, they are so in sync, the kind that doesn’t require much words, you can understand with just a glance]

[Human traffickers, back off! Seeing the two of them singing together to calm the girls down, and the policewomen were so powerful and reliable, it was really touching]

[So pretty, so pretty! So cool! Songjiang baby, how could you be so sweet before (wiping tears)]

[Now he is pretty sweet]

[It’s different. It used to be a honey soft candy that melted in one bite, but now it’s a knife-shaped candy that pulls your mouth apart in one bite (vomiting blood)]

[However, Akabane's actions, not wanting to be photographed and refusing to reveal his name, really seem like an undercover agent, doing everything very carefully]

[Is the person in front a newcomer? Remember to catch up on the episodes. Akabane has taken out his high-powered cell phone and disguise. I thought he was a little lamb.]

[Actually, to some extent, it’s true, undercover hhh]

[I will take it no matter what the blood sugar level is, just let me take it to death (An Xian)]

As expected, the comic exploded because of the final flag. Especially readers with a bird's eye view know that what Chisawa Hagiwara was talking about was actually Shuichi Akai, and they were not a partner.

It is impossible to get out of it, but if I forget it, I will truly forget it.

This wave made the fan leaders on the forum scream in disgust.

A certain system that was following along also screamed: "You! Actually! Said! Such a thing!"

Songjiang Shigure's eyes widened: "Who can still remember such a thing?"

System: "You actually forgot everything?!"

Songjiang Shiyu felt guilty, but also a little righteous: "In the past, when we played so many games, didn't we always say to each other, you are my little sweetheart, you are my little baby, I will definitely remember you?"

The system was shocked by his scumbag tone and didn't know what to say for a moment.

But soon, it reacted, putting on a vicious face of a wicked mother-in-law: "But now you say you forgot, scumbag."

Matsue Shigure: "Who could have thought of such a thing?! I just wanted to find someone to blame!"

He had no idea that Kenji Hagiwara and the others had gone to look for Chisawa Hagiwara, nor did he expect that this NPC, with whom he had had little interaction in the past, could still remember all these things.

So, Hagiwara Kenji and the others are so concerned about him forgetting about "Akabane Subaru". Are they worried that he cares too much about Akabane Subaru and his mentality will explode?

The system said solemnly: "Since you wrote the 'Revenge Diary' to hone your acting skills, everything has been determined."

"Give up, stop struggling!"

Songjiang Shiyu was dying. He was a little desperate: "What do you think I was fighting for? Did I suddenly have an epiphany and remember everything after listening to their hesitant words?"

System: “…” This sounds even weirder.

But it was not without gain. At least Matsue Shigure now knew that the students cared about whether he remembered Akabane Subaru, mainly because they were worried about his mental state and afraid that he would care too much about his partner and ruin himself.

——Matsue Shigure is in very good spirits.

What he needs to do is to show that there is nothing wrong with him, so as to avoid being treated too specially and affecting the overall situation.

He pointed at the back of the car, and after a moment's hesitation, he said to the system, "Wait a little longer. I'll wait and see. When the time comes, I'll go to bat with Matsuda and the others!"

He still needs to confirm whether Yule is Morobushi Kagemitsu. If it is really the latter, he will talk to Morobushi Kagemitsu before revealing his cards.

Before showing his cards to the students, Matsue Shigure could practice with the readers of the forum.

For example, he could pretend to have a headache after returning home, and pretend to be on the verge of remembering it... Well, he could also think of a reason for forgetting it, so that at least it would prove that his amnesia was controllable.

Then it would be natural for him to recover soon, right?

*****

"That's all we know."

Kenji Hagiwara parked the car downstairs of Matsue Shigure's apartment building. He cleared his throat which was a little hoarse from speaking, turned his head, and looked at Matsue Shigure together with Jinpei Matsuda.

The blond young man lowered his eyes with no expression on his face. He hadn't spoken a word since the two started talking, and hadn't even raised a single question.

He seemed to be completely unfamiliar with the name "Akabane Subaru" and didn't want to be curious about it.

"Instructor...Matsue." Matsuda Jinpei called him and said hesitantly, "Do you still remember your new partner?"

Matsue Shigure knew they were talking about Akai Shuichi, but the latter was an FBI agent whose identity was kept secret and was currently "dead", and he was not his real partner.

If he says "remember", he will either have to label himself as "another dead partner" or he will have to find a partner.

so--

"I don't know. I don't have a partner."

After opening the car door, the sunlight slanted through the gap onto the blond young man, blurring his appearance. Only his cobalt blue eyes could be seen without much emotion, appearing calm and composed.

He smiled at the two of them and said, "Matsuda, Hagiwara, you should go back and report on your duties as soon as possible. I have to go report as well."

"See you next time."

"good."

The car door was closed, and the two of them were stunned for a moment as they watched the thin and straight figure open the door and walk into the empty home.

Matsuda Jinpei rubbed his brows and said wearily, "Hagi, let's discuss the change later."

"Tsk...it feels like more than just memories have been erased."

Hagiwara Kenji asked him, "What do you mean?"

"Just like a patient with amnesia, he would also have a sense of familiarity and emotional fluctuations about things in the past, right?" Matsuda Jinpei tapped his temple. "Emotions are not so easy to lose."

"Yeah." Hagiwara Kenji nodded.

If this were not the case, doctors would not recommend that patients with amnesia visit familiar places often to reconnect with their past.

"But - when we were talking about Akabane-senpai just now, Matsue-senpai was not only unmoved, he was even distracted!"

"ah?"

"It's not just not remembering, it's also - not caring."

It seems that Matsue Shigure now only cares about overthrowing the organization.

The two of them felt a chill in their hearts.

If you just forgot, then you will definitely remember it eventually if you mention it more often. But if you don't even care about these things, is it really possible for you to remember them?

They didn't reveal Akabane Subaru's true identity, fearing that it would backfire if they were caught off guard, and now they don't know how it will end.

"Green eyes, left-handed, black hair." Hagiwara Kenji murmured, "Do you think the instructor's second partner is still alive?"

Matsuda Jinpei said: "It's hard to say... Anyway, those who can work with the instructor are most likely organizations. We can go ask Zero."

"He has completely forgotten about his partner. If there is a chance to find the real owner, there will still be a chance to communicate further, right?"

As long as the second partner is brought over, who knows what Matsue Shigure will be able to remember.

Hagiwara Kenji sighed: "I hope so."

He was still a little unwilling. He had clearly made all the preparations to mix into the muddy water, but was pushed out by Songjiang Shiyu lightly.

But he didn't want to hide behind Songjiang Shiyu anymore.

Every time I looked at his receding back, I felt powerless and hopeless.

The explosion seven years ago...Kenji Hagiwara pursed his lips. They haven't formally apologized yet.

****

Inside the apartment, the young man casually took off his coat and threw it aside, then slammed himself into the sofa.

His hands were tightly grasping the sofa cloth, and the joints were turning blue and white, but he had no time to pay attention to it.

"Akabane... Subaru." He murmured with a trembling voice, "Not Akai Shuichi..."

As A in the organization, the person he finally chose to help was Shuichi Akai, not only because of Miyano Akemi's request, but also because -

aka……

The blurred and fragmented memories can only vaguely construct a warm light and shadow, symbolizing the eternal justice standing in the sun.

Matsue Shigure suddenly understood why he had lost his memory of Akabane Subaru.

He is not a purely qualified policeman. He has fallen into darkness for a long time and has been stained with sins that cannot be washed away.

So, even thinking about him makes me feel ashamed...
