At 4:30 in the morning, Shuichi Akai put his pen on the table and shook his hands.

The A4 paper in front of him was densely covered with words, in a clear and orderly manner. Next to it, a hand was resting crookedly on it, with some ink stains on the fingertips.

The blond young man was resting his head on his arms, having fallen into a deep sleep. His untied blond hair hung down along his ears, covering most of his face.

Shuichi Akai couldn't help but sigh - it was his first time writing a report for the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

Very novel.

Of course, no one would know about this except Matsue Shigure and him.

However... Shuichi Akai really wanted to know what happened during this confrontation between Matsue Shigure and the organization.

But he never expected that Matsue Shigure would speak up so naturally and "trouble" him in this way.

Akai Shuichi thought about it a little more out of habit.

It was impossible for Matsue Shigure to ignore Haibara Ai's emotional outburst, so it was impossible for the latter not to guess at all about the content of Haibara Ai's conversation with him.

So he guessed what they talked about and used this method to even things out and alleviate his guilt?

Or do you just want to vent your anger on Haibara Ai?

Both possibilities are possible.

But according to this person, he hides everything and appears to be bright and sunny on the surface, so it's impossible to find out anything by asking him.

Shuichi Akai didn't think about it any further. He stood up first, rubbed his stiff wrist, and then picked up the blond young man with very light force.

He was not expecting Matsue Shigure's sudden visit, and since he was staying at Kudo's house in hiding, it was impossible for him to touch other rooms.

Therefore, Shuichi Akai could only temporarily move Matsue Shigure to the second bedroom where he slept.

This was not the first time that he had picked up the blond young man. Shuichi Akai adjusted his position skillfully so as not to wake the sleeping man.

When walking out of the door, the bandage on Songjiang Shiyu's hanging hand was caught on the door handle and was pulled off as he walked.

Akai Shuichi stood at the stairs, his eyes flickering for a moment. This should not be considered as his action.

#What the hell is this got to do with him#

So, after putting the person on the bed and taking out some clean clothes from the closet, Shuichi Akai quickly completed the necessary steps before going to bed.

It seemed that because he was too tired, Songjiang Shigure did not wake up during the whole process. Instead, he felt cold because he was changing clothes, so he quickly curled up in the quilt.

Looking at the young man who had curled up like a baby in the quilt, Akai Shuichi seriously pulled Matsue Shigure's hand out.

Then, he held Matsue Shigure's hand and his pupils shrank.

"..." Akai Shuichi was thinking.

It was not a pinhole mark. He had thought about this. After all, it had already been exposed, so there was no need for Songjiang Shigure to be overly defensive. However, the marks that appeared were beyond his expectations.

From this angle, it doesn’t look like Matsue Shigure made it himself. To leave such a deep bite mark... could it be that this was a confrontation with the organization?

But why is it a bite mark, and on the wrist, a very sensitive and conspicuous place?

According to what Matsue Shigure said, it was just a game between "friends"...

Thinking of the young man who even downplayed death, Shuichi Akai discounted the authenticity of this report.

He...felt indescribable sadness and powerlessness.

The FBI's ace agent looked at Matsue Shigure quietly, and finally just sighed and used his hand to push away the hair that was blocking his face.

#Flooding: Who has read the latest episode? The progress of forming a team to take down the FBI is 1/100!! #

1L (OP): I can’t hold my 800-meter-long sword anymore!! (pulling the sword from under my crotch)

2L: Check in 2/100!! Wuwuwu, Ai-chan, my Ai-chan, she must be feeling really bad, it’s not so much because of A-gang Akai Shuichi, but because of her, these two directions are heading to the brother-sister group yyds!

3L: ...Why do I feel like they are a bit like a mother-son team (nothing else to say, just analyzing their personalities) Song Jiangjiang usually has a magical power that makes people worry about him. 3/100

4L: All thumbs up, Xiaozi will be a mother painlessly. But how should I put it… his worrying is based on his own indifference to himself. It’s actually a bit painful to watch. I can only watch the flying bird fly away without being able to catch it.

5L: Damn 555, I was still reminiscing about the emo kill, but this wave directly exposed Songjiang’s physical problems.

When he closed the lid of the medicine box, I really wanted to jump into the comic and beat him up. How can a student's emotions be more important than his life?!

6L: The knife was slashing, and he swallowed it with tears. It was really more important than his life. For Songjiang, being a student was probably his only remaining thought. If he knew Akabane Subaru's identity, he would be devastated.

7L: I shed a few tears watching this. I don’t know why I want to be a fan of a paper man who is destined to die, but Song Jiangjiang is really cute (whispering) and suitable to be a wife

8L*: How do cats meow? Meow.

How do sheep bleat: bleat.

How do dogs bark: Songjiang wife, I love you!! Sticky! Have you eaten? Who are you staying with tonight? Do you want me to buy breakfast and send it downstairs? Good morning, good afternoon, good night, muah!

…

87L (OP): Stop going off topic, eh? Pull it back!! I killed that stealing Akai! He stayed overnight, he stayed overnight!! Why is no one taking care of this big tail wolf Akai!!

88L: I'm back after watching, I'm awesome, wearing oversized pajamas with messy hair, rubbing my eyes in a daze, Song Jiangjiang opened the door! Outcall! Buy outcall! (Tear off pants) (Running against the wind)

89L: Damn, I was still immersed in the knife slag in the front, why did the style suddenly change like this in the back? ? I have the same expression as Touko now! (The subway old man looks at his phone) (The gorilla is furious)

90L: Help! ! So what did they do last night? Did the pinhole under Matsue's wrist get exposed, and Akai Shuichi was so angry that he punished him? Why don't you give me a close-up of his hand! ! (Unconscious)

91L: The FBI shouldn’t be that beastly (mumbling) Ahhhhh! I don’t even believe that I said this wrong!! Kill him! Touzi, kill him! (with a ferocious face)

92L: I don’t believe it. It’s impossible for Lao Zei to officially announce some weird CP at this time. Moreover, Songjiang was very cautious about the bandage being seen yesterday, which means that there must be tooth marks.

A blind shot, could it be that he bit himself when the pain was unbearable?

93L: +1 to the above. Songjiang's health is now supported by special medicines. With his allergic constitution, he can't even take painkillers. If he keeps resisting, he will collapse, right?

94L: Wuwuwu! Why does lifting my sleeves cause so many injuries? ! Could it be that all of this was done by Songjiang herself? I'm so scared!! P.S.: 88/100! (Akai Shuichi must be beaten, thank you)

******

Songjiang Shigure was completely sober.

At this moment, he was pressed on the sofa in the living room by Amuro Toru, with his sleeves rolled up. The latter pulled his arm and looked him left and right with a scorching gaze.

"Where's Akai Shuichi?" Amuro Toru said in a tense voice, "Matsue, when did you come here? Yesterday Matsuda and the others took you away--"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Songjiang Shiyu rubbed his temples with his free hand. "I'm just here to hand over the mission. It's too late, so I'll just stay overnight to rest."

"Security Bureau mission?" Seeing his tired look, Amuro Toru pursed his lips and lowered his voice, "Instructor, you don't have to work so hard. We can help, right?"

When those purple-gray eyes look at people seriously and intimately, it's as if the whole world can only see you, with MAX destructive power.

But this trick can only be used once.

Songjiang Shigure saw through it. When he was being aggressive towards him, he called him Songjiang, and when he was pretending to be pitiful, he called him instructor. These guys really had the same routine.

But he was relieved and somewhat glad that he came to see Akai Shuichi last night.

Otherwise, if Toru Amuro showed up so early in the morning, the two of them might be discussing something, and his true identity would be exposed.

"I won't do that again in the future." Songjiang Shiyu replied seriously, not being shocked at all.

Amuro Toru knew when to stop and his expression changed instantly: "Wait, this is not the point. Where is Akai Shuichi? What happened to your injury?!"

He frowned and looked at the tooth marks on Songjiang Shiyu's hands. The marks were very deep and it would probably take several weeks for them to disappear. It was hard to say whether they would leave scars or not.

The anger in his heart grew stronger, especially when he thought of what Shuichi Akai had done to Matsue Shigure before, Toru Amuro really wanted to shoot the guy who took advantage of him!

But at the same time, Toru Amuro's remaining rationality told him that Matsue Shigure was not such a foolish person - most of the time.

Amuro Toru silently thought to himself that everything that Instructor Songjiang looked like was just a disguise, just a disguise...

“I don’t know where he is now.”

Matsue Shigure pulled down his sleeves, looking embarrassed: "This injury was not caused by him... I think it's better for you not to know the truth."

This matter is really too oolong. I'm afraid that Jinpei Matsuda is even more socially dead than him.

Amuro clenched his fists subconsciously and gritted his teeth: "Is it that Yul? I knew he was——"

He looked at Matsue Shigure, not knowing what he was thinking, and his eyes became complicated.

"I'm sorry..." After a while, Amuro Toru spoke softly, and the guilt on his face was quickly replaced by murderous intent, "I will kill that Yule with my own hands!"

Matsue Shigure's pupils were shaking: "...!!"

Ahhhh stop your brain! Stop your brain filling!

That guy was your childhood friend! There is nothing wrong between us!

But at this time, Matsue Shigure didn't want to cause trouble and expose Morobushi Kagemitsu's identity, and he didn't tell Amuro Toru about Morobushi Kagemitsu's appearance, so he must have his considerations.

"Not him!"

Matsue Shigure spoke very quickly. He slapped Amuro Toru on the thigh with one hand, trying to wake up this student who had no idea what was going on in his head.

"This has nothing to do with him. If there is a reason, it should be my own fault!"

Toru Amuro was a little bit in disbelief and didn't even have time to care about the pain in his legs. He didn't expect Matsue Shigure to actually protect Yule!

But Matsuda Jinpei clearly told him that Instructor Matsue had even forgotten about Akabane Subaru, and he was very sober when he was trying to extract information!

"Instructor..." He said harshly, his eyes full of worry, "Youl is from the organization."

Matsue Shigure: “!!!” That’s not what he meant!

Should Morofushi Kagemitsu take the blame, or should Matsuda Jinpeisha be killed?

Think about the already heavy burden on Morobushi Kagemitsu, and - delicious cookies.

After a difficult balance, Matsue Shigure reluctantly sold out Matsuda Jinpei.

"…That's what happened." Matsue Shigure said in one breath, his old face flushed. "But compared to me, Matsuda should be more seriously injured."

Uhhh! It really makes me feel socially frustrated when I say this!

Wait...it seems like nothing happened?

Seeing Toru Amuro looking dumbfounded, Matsue Shigure suddenly felt that it was not him who was doomed to be socially dead.

Someone's toes suddenly relaxed and pretended nothing had happened.

#Social Death Transfer Law#

#It's Toru Amuro who's embarrassed, what does it have to do with me, Shigure Matsue#

But thinking about the daily confrontations between Matsuda Jinpei and Furutani Rei in the past, Matsue Shigure added another sentence.

"Besides, don't blame Matsuda. He cried for a long time in front of everyone because he was worried about me this time."

Jinpei Matsuda cried in front of everyone - for a long time???

“……?” Amuro Toru’s expression gradually turned blank.

He suddenly wanted to use his cell phone to record the conversation.

*******

Nine o'clock, Rice Flower Hospital.

After Akai Shuichi finished the handover, he pretended to have just finished seeing a doctor and walked out with a bag of cold medicine.

Songjiang Shigure's plan was very risky, but he agreed after weighing the pros and cons. For this purpose, his boss James contacted him offline.

"Xuichi, this plan is very risky. If you want to cooperate with the Japanese Public Security Bureau to activate this, you must at least convince me."

Shuichi Akai explained all the reasons why he had prepared the draft, avoided risks as much as possible, and took the responsibility of everything himself.

James was silent for a while after hearing this: "This is not in line with your usual code of conduct. If you were not standing in front of me, I would suspect that you were impersonated."

Akai Shuichi said calmly: "But if it succeeds, the value will be very high."

"But is that the whole reason you proposed it?" James hit the nail on the head.

Akai Shuichi was silent.

"I am willing to hand over the command to you." James' eyes were sharp, "But Shuichi, I hope you can always remain rational, and if the mission fails, you may face more than just demotion."

"I understand." Akai Shuichi's tone remained calm and calm as always, "It won't fail."

It was not because he was worried about the so-called punishment, nor was it because he was sure of victory. It was simply because he had promised that he would definitely protect Matsue Shigure.

Before he died.

*****

Matsue Shigure looked at the comic with some curiosity.

Above, the promotional trailer for Goddess of Victory has been released, and it is obviously a typical theatrical version, but it is the first time that Matsue Shigure has come into contact with a true theatrical version.

The red and black characters are arranged around two cruise ships side by side. Combined with the clues and spoilers that have been brewing in the main storyline for a long time, readers are very enthusiastic and even started betting.

#Place your bets. By the time the movie is released, let’s bet on whether Matsue Shigure will die in this movie.#

Someone who is about to die again is calm and peaceful - what the hell!

He is a man with the aura of a protagonist! Songjiang Shigure is angry and will not die!

System: "This is a sea with a whole fish pond! Song Hai Hai, where are you pressing?"

Songjiang Shiyu sneered: "If you are jealous of my charm, just say it directly. Also, be more respectful to me. You are a lonely widower. I am the only one accompanying you now, okay?"

System: “Giao!”

In the middle of the argument, Songjiang Shigure saw the target of this time.

As expected, Rum did not plan to take action himself, but only planned to watch the "fireworks" in a skyscraper not far from the cruise ship location. Of course, it is unknown whether he has any other plans.

"Rum doesn't want to get on the boat? How can this be!" Matsue Shigure was waiting to take action against him.

System: "After all, he is the guy in power."

Songjiang Shigure: "This guy must come up, and he must come up honestly! Look, I'll find a way to get him up!"

"I am dying because of these people. Why should they live well?"

System: “…But they are also having a hard time right now.”

The organization has been ripped apart like a sieve.

Songjiang Shigure didn't want to listen: "By the way, if I succeed in dealing with Rum, the red team should also be able to see my ability, right? What's the point of being controlled by students every day!"

System: "... You better save your energy! Don't sprint in the opposite direction! Look at how many times you've done it, and every time you've scared people to death!"

Songjiang Shigure recalled the past and thought that it was due to force majeure and had nothing to do with his own strength.

He said, "This time it will definitely work!"

Songjiang Shigure said seriously: "This is my counterattack!"

As long as he could take down the rum steadily and achieve results in front of everyone, the red team members who treated him as a glass man would definitely not be so serious anymore.

System: "Stop talking."

It was a little worried that Songjiang Shiyu would flip over, and then some stupid player would make a scene and need it to comfort him...

Wait, the system reacted belatedly, how come it seems to have become a fish in Songjiang Shiyu Fish Pond? ?

*******

"Hahaha, Xiao Zhenping, you really look like an old man in his seventies or eighties!"

"Shut up, you bastard! Damn it!"

"Hahaha--!"

Suddenly, Shuichi Akai heard a familiar voice. He looked towards the source of the sound and found it was Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara.

He had dealt with these two policemen quite a few times. The last time he met them was in the ward of Matsue Shigure, who was also his student.

Looking at the two people bickering with each other, Shuichi Akai suddenly felt a little emotional. These guys might not understand in the end how much Matsue Shigure cares about them.

Perhaps, even the illness is still a secret?

When Akai Shuichi thought of Matsue Shigure begging him to keep it a secret and even preferring to recall that dark past, he felt a pang in his heart.

For some reason, he stepped forward and said hello: "Officer Matsuda, Officer Hagiwara, good morning."

Hagiwara Kenji looked at him in surprise: "Mr. Okiya?"

They only knew that this graduate student seemed to have a good relationship with Songjiang Shiyu, but they were not sure about the details.

"Officer Matsuda, what's going on?" Akai Shuichi looked worried. "Did we encounter a brutal criminal?"

Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He chuckled and was elbowed by Matsuda Jinpei in anger.

"What's wrong with my sister? There's no need to worry!"

——My cheeks were so swollen that I couldn’t even speak clearly.

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and wiped away the tears from his eyes: "It's really nothing. This guy just accidentally fell yesterday and sprained his waist and also happened to hit his tooth."

Akai Shuichi: "Then why did you come to see me this morning?"

Hagiwara Kenji waved his hands: "He is so shy. He tried not to tell me last night, but today his face was so swollen that he had to go to work - Ouch!"

Matsuda Jinpei punched him in anger: "You're holding it back!"

Jinpei Matsuda had not expected it to be so serious.

Because everyone's attention was on Gaba's sprained waist and Matsue Shigure at the time, he didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere for a moment, but just felt a sour taste in his mouth.

But that evening - after dinner, Matsuda Jinpei felt that his dentures were a little loose, and soon after, his gums began to swell.

Jinpei Matsuda tried to apply an ice pack, but it had no effect except making the pain worse. He finally made it to the morning, but ended up looking at his swollen cheeks and falling silent.

It hurts. It really hurts.

Come to think of it, yesterday Matsue Shigure's wrist was bleeding from his bump, but the latter just gasped twice and didn't show any sign of it at all.

This pain tolerance is too strong...

But it seemed normal. Any injuries that Songjiang Shigure suffered seemed to be more serious than this, but he never mentioned it. Instead, he would act coquettishly and pretend to be pitiful over some trivial matters that were not serious.

When Jinpei Matsuda couldn't sleep all night yesterday because of a toothache, he thought for a long time about what to do with Matsue Shigure.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is really only one way to go.

——Ignore his pretending to be pitiful, just lock him up, preferably lock him up! Don't let Songjiang Shigure go out and do anything!

"Hahaha, Mr. Okiya, you should also take care of your health. It's true that it's easy to get sick now that the weather is getting colder."

Kenji Hagiwara, who was chatting with Shuichi Akai on the side, had no idea that his childhood friend was plotting some heinous and evil plan.

In fact, Kenji Hagiwara didn't sleep last night either.

What Chisu Hagiwara said to him made him have a complicated thought: "Can I play the role of Akabane-senpai well and restore Instructor Matsue's memory?"

After finally mustering up the courage to try, Matsue Shigure suddenly popped out "Has forgotten about Akabane Subaru".

But how could he forget this? Not to mention that the graduation gift was still in his hands and he hadn't given it away yet, he had to at least find the information that contacted the criminal organization!

Kenji Hagiwara struggled with this for the entire night but couldn't figure it out. What kind of attitude should he have when appearing in front of Matsue Shigure?

But one thing is certain, in the coming period of time, they must find a way to keep an eye on Matsue Shigure.

Because if we defeat the organization now, they might strike back...

However, he and Matsuda were recently assigned a task to board the "Victory Goddess" with the guard team next week to protect the safety of the congressmen.

Then I will definitely not be able to go to see Songjiang Shigure for several days.

Kenji Hagiwara was wondering if he could find a way to tie the instructor over as well, as he would feel uneasy if he wasn't under their watch.

"Officer Matsuda, you should have a good rest. I won't disturb you anymore." Akai Shuichi said politely.

Hagiwara Kenji also nodded: "Then let's say goodbye now."

"goodbye."

"goodbye."

,

"…Debt."

Because of a guy who didn't sleep all night, the three of them split up and went their separate ways, continuing to have a brain storm.

But at this moment, their thoughts were strangely synchronized.

——How can we make Matsue Shigure behave himself? !
