The crowd successfully pulled up Kenji Hagiwara and Shigure Matsue together in the same manner as pulling a radish.
The next moment, Matsue Shigure found himself surrounded. The kids from the Junior Detective Corps surrounded him, hugged his neck and cried loudly. The so-called cold face was of no use at this time.
Oh yeah, he can already switch his ID card.
Matsue Shigure switched back to the reporter's card.
The blond young man paused for a moment, then smiled tenderly at the children and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid. Everyone is fine. It's all over. Don't cry. It hurts me to see you crying."
Yoshida Ayumi grabbed his collar and sobbed, "Next time, you can't do this again, wuwuwu, Brother Songjiang, I'm really scared!"
"No, no, no, Ayumi, smile. You look the best when you smile."
Yoshida Ayumi: “Ugh…”
The crying face that looked like a little cat forced a smile.
Songjiang Shigure wiped the blood on his hands onto his body, and gently touched the heads of each child one by one to comfort the frightened children.
Conan Edogawa never thought that there would be a day when he would not be able to squeeze in with elementary school students, but looking at the police surrounding him, he chose to lower his head and take off his glasses.
Matsue Shigure was busy coaxing the child and did not notice the complicated looks given to him by Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji who were sitting paralyzed beside him.
If Hagiwara Kenji felt relieved and atonement when he caught the man just now, now...
"I think I might have made a mistake." The half-long-haired policeman said numbly, "Is it an illusion?"
When did his instructor smile so brightly and gently? Moreover, he only paid attention to the children and didn't even bother to care about him!
It was exactly the same as how Songjiang Xun avoided him at first.
Matsuda Jinpei also looked numb: "I can't imagine Instructor Matsue looking so radiant, but... he was the one who dismantled the bomb, right?"
"Ahem, you're talking about bombs... Actually, Conan-kun made a big contribution. He said he learned bomb disposal techniques from his father in Hawaii, and that helped a lot."
As soon as he finished speaking, they heard Matsue Shunya talking to Inspector Megure with an embarrassed look on his face, praising Conan Edogawa to the sky, and the young detective didn't know what he was thinking and didn't refute him.
Kenji Hagiwara pursed his lips, the ecstasy in his heart dissipated into confusion as the adrenaline decreased.
Indeed, Matsue Shigure is the most proud bomb disposal police officer. He never allows others to take risks with him, let alone bring a child to defuse a bomb.
And what they just saw was indeed Conan Edogawa and the blond young man working together.
So...did they misunderstand?
The policeman with semi-long hair lowered his head, took out a small Rubik's Cube the size of a walnut from his pocket and held it in his hand.
Matsuda Jinpei patted Hagiwara Kenji on the shoulder and couldn't help but sigh: "Even if Instructor Matsue is in heaven, he wouldn't want us to dwell on the past like this... Hagi, why don't you try to put the gift at home first?"
"You'd better keep it with you. Use it as a talisman." Kenji Hagiwara put the small Rubik's Cube back into his pocket.
Jinpei Matsuda also felt bad, but he was clear-headed compared to Kenji Hagiwara, who had close contact with him and had more wild thoughts.
Knowing clearly that Songjiang Shiyu died alone without leaving any last words, he was extremely determined.
* “I have nothing left in this world, but you are different—there are countless people who care about you, so please live well and don’t do anything risky that will worry your friends and family.”
Those were the words Matsue Shigure said when he punished them to write a 10,000-word self-reflection for the incident in which they crashed into another car to save someone in Onizuka Hachizo's Mazda and ended up crossing a broken bridge.
Matsuda Jinpei and others knew in their hearts that this was indeed reckless, but when it came to matters involving human lives, there was no better measure than theirs, not to mention that - they succeeded.
However, Matsue Shigure didn't even look at the result of their success. He scolded them in a harsh tone and didn't listen to their explanation at all.
This incident, combined with the previous trivial matters, resulted in the accusations that broke out in the final case.
——How can a policeman be so timid and cowardly as you? This is a matter of life and death! Songjiang Shigure, are you qualified to be a policeman like this? !
--Um.
——Sorry... Instructor Songjiang, we were too excited and overstepped our bounds.
--Um.
Even though some people realized Matsue Shigure's identity and apologized immediately after the outbreak, they did think so in their hearts at that time.
It wasn't until the end... when the explosion happened, that they realized how wrong they were.
The one who paid the bill was Songjiang Shigure, because only his strength could guarantee absolute safety, and in his heart, it seemed not a loss at all to exchange his own innocent life for the safety of many people.
Afterwards, they learned about Matsue Shigure's past from Onizuka Hachizo and other places, and realized how heavy the words he said to them at that time were.
Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagihara carefully reviewed the situation and found that there were indeed other safer and feasible solutions based on the risk.
It's just that they rely on their youth and vigor and don't want to think too much.
But it’s too late to apologize, and just like the Mazda that leaped over the broken bridge, there’s no going back.*
Back to the present, the appearance of Matsue Shunya and his choice on the elevator undoubtedly reminded Matsuda Jinpei of the past again.
But it was precisely because of this similarity and the fact that it was impossible to overlap that he became even more alert.
"Even Zero thinks it's a conspiracy..." Matsuda Jinpei said in a barely audible voice and closed his eyes, "I should wake up a little."
***
"A-choo, cough cough cough!" Songjiang Shiyu felt that someone was talking about him and could not help but sneeze, scaring the people around him who were still frightened.
Officer Megure slapped his head and said, "Ah, why are you still talking here? Brother Songjiang, go to the hospital for a checkup. Your hands are covered in blood."
"Yes, yes, let's go to the hospital together!"
Conan Edogawa nodded quickly. He had seen with his own eyes how Matsue Xunye defused the bomb despite the pain and pretended nothing had happened. Now, looking closely, the other person's face had become extremely bad.
Matsue Shigure thought he was pretty good. He didn't feel any pain due to pain blocking. Instead, he was hugged, cuddled and praised by so many chubby children. He felt so happy inside.
He waved to the people who wanted to help him, and tried to stand up by holding on to the ground. However, when he was halfway up, he stumbled and fell back down.
Officer Megure was startled, and hurriedly came over to help him with a frown: "Don't try to be brave in this situation..."
Songjiang Shigure was also confused: "I didn't..."
He looked carefully at his current ID card - was it cut correctly?!
Conan Edogawa walked up to him and lifted up his trouser legs neatly.
"Hiss——" Yoshida Ayumi subconsciously took a breath of cool air.
I saw that Matsue Shigure's right knee was swollen, with purple bruises on it, which looked particularly scary.
The young detective was furious: "Just now you were kneeling on one knee defusing the bomb, and you didn't move at all. How can you be so patient?"
He even had tears in his eyes when he spoke. If Song Jiangxun hadn't fought so hard for them, the consequences of him going up to defuse the bomb alone would be really unknown.
But this looks too painful, doesn't it? How did Song Jiangxun manage to completely ignore his own body and still comfort them?
Songjiang Shiyu looked down himself: "..."
He said to the system quietly, "Tongjie, could it be that he bumped into something while going up the stairs?"
System: “What do you think?”
Matsue Shigure: "Wuwu, how can I say such an embarrassing thing."
——Then let’s not talk about it.
Matsue Shigure was held by Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji who came over with a numb face, and walked downstairs amid the children's hugs and accusatory eyes.
Only then did he remember who had picked him up in the end, and he quickly and politely thanked Hagiwara Kenji: "Officer Hagiwara, thank you for saving me just now."
Hagiwara Kenji had a complicated look in his eyes, but he just smiled and said, "Serving the people~ But Matsue-kun was able to dismantle the bomb in this situation, and his hands are very steady. Is this a natural ability?"
Matsue Shigure: “It should be innate.”
He lowered his head and talked to the children, and mentally scanned the forum. Sure enough, there were updates on the process from their bomb disposal to their rescue.
In the comics, Matsue Xun also threw Edogawa Conan out at a critical moment. His cobalt blue eyes were startlingly bright and unusually calm, which made people want to dig deeper.
[Ahhh! I'm so scared! Hug me tight! Xiao Ke from the detective team and Brother Songjiang! This is really too dangerous.]
[What the hell, can this world have less extreme crime? Isn't it just a cooperation? As for bombing and cutting cables? ? If the detective team hadn't accepted the commission, wouldn't Aihara be left without a mother from now on...]
[His mother probably wanted to buy the toy factory for him, right?]
[The friendship between the Wuwu Detective Team and Xiao Ke really made me cry. They are still children, but in the face of life and death crisis, they chose to let others survive. This is true courage]
[Songjiang Xun also yyds! I declare this to be my new wife! (loudly) (rub against and stick to her)]
[So cool! That tone of voice was like a blade piercing the sky when everyone was at a loss for words!! His command was so cool that I was crawling all over the floor!]
[My pants are flying, my wife is stepping on me!]
[Although, #the cold-blooded bomb disposal man Songjiang Xunya##the tender and comforting child Songjiang Xunya#, isn't this expression changing too fast? ? Why do I feel like I drew two people in the same picture?]
[Maybe you are the type who becomes serious when you are nervous? I am the same. I usually stutter when I speak, but when I really give a speech, I become serious and fluent instantly.]
[Fuck, the wound on his hand and the bruise on his leg, I can feel the pain even through the screen, how did Songjiang brother endure and insist on defusing bombs? I think his identity is definitely not an ordinary person! ]
[#松江珣也见血的莊的眼# I always feel like there's something fishy in it, waiting for a big shot to analyze it]
[You can tell with your toes that this person is definitely not an ordinary person! #The complicated looks of Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda#Looking at the conversation between Matsuda and Hagi, could this be another classmate of theirs from the police academy?]
[Oh my! Another Iron Red? No way! Gin is going to cry!]
[According to the old thief's reversal law, ***the opening result of the villain's face***** is enough to conclude that Song Jiangxun is also an undercover sent by the black side! ]
[Fuck, that makes sense!]
Matsue Shigure felt a little panicked after reading the comments.
The system told him that some things he didn't know would be muted in order to ensure the operation of the world, but that didn't matter.
But! Could it be that the two NPCs, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, whose names remain unchanged, really have memories of the first round? !
Matsue Shigure felt a lump in his heart when he saw the expressions of the two people in the comic.
After all, he didn't want to be associated with the people and things of the past.
First, once his identity card was changed, it was like he was reborn, and it would be too much to continue to be involved in the game character before; second, he had seen with his own eyes how players whose identities were discovered were killed by the evil NPC.
He is now trapped in the game, and because of a game error, he has only one life to complete the game. If he dies in this situation, he will really die.
Songjiang Shigure: "Tell me the truth, do they really not remember me? Do they not remember 'Songjiang Shigure'?"
The system replied again: "According to the operating mechanism, there will indeed be no memory of the player beyond the scope of the game, but dear, the game has gone wrong, and a lot of data has been lost and cannot be retrieved. This is why I am tied to you."
Matsue Shigure: "What if they remember me?"
System: "Think about what you did."
Songjiang Shigure: “…”Forget it, he should just pretend to be dead.
***
"Mr. Fūya, I have already sent you the information about 'Songjiang Xunye' that you asked me to look up, but it is very strange that a lot of his information has been encrypted, and many records are incomplete... Is there something wrong with this person?"
Toru Amuro stood on the fourth floor, leaning against the empty elevator shaft. He lowered his eyes and looked down. He could only see Matsue Shun being carried into the ambulance, sandwiched between his two classmates.
He ran over reflexively when he saw the cable break, but pulled back at the last moment.
Toru Amuro cannot afford to expose his identity, and he has no good reason to appear here.
I can only watch like this...
Almost died.
The blond young man clenched his phone tightly, his purple-gray eyes filled with gloom.
The gentle and brilliant smile on the other person's face when he left formed a sharp contrast with the cold and stern look when he was defusing the bomb. He could see it clearly from above.
But if you say it's all acting, then it's too much - if it wasn't for the second year of graduate school, Songjiang Xun would have been smashed into a pulp by now!
But if they are just ordinary people, why are so many messages encrypted?
He even chose to use the identity of "Matsue Shigure", as if he wanted to reconnect him with his former peers...
"Don't act rashly, Fengjian. Leave this person to me."
Amuro Toru took a deep breath. If he were in his position, he could not think less but more. He had to sort out every condition and there could not be any mistakes.
He is still in the dark and has many opportunities to investigate. As for the things in the open, they can be left to Matsuda and Kenji.
This is a battle! Amuro Toru thought seriously that for the sake of this country, he must also control Matsue Shun.
--------------------
The author has something to say:
Shigure: For the sake of this country (ID card), Toru Amuro must be controlled!
Touko: For the sake of this country (?), we must control Matsue Junya!
A certain level of tacit understanding ：D
ps: According to the setting, the public security agency that sent Shi Yu undercover has no communication or overlap with Toruko, so it is normal that they cannot find out. However, to some extent, they are colleagues.
The red side will definitely quietly shirk and dig little by little, it is impossible to nail it down and A it up all at once, and Shigure is just trying to play dead...
As for the past events, the two sides have different perspectives, and we will slowly dig into them later.
