A sense of déjà vu that hadn't arisen for a long time suddenly appeared.

Toru Amuro's heart skipped a beat.

He subconsciously stopped at the corner of the upper and lower swimming pools until a man behind him bumped his shoulder and said, "Hey, kid, don't block the road here!"

"Sorry." Amuro Toru responded softly, and quickly went down the stairs holding on to his duckbill cap, but his muscles were unconsciously tense.

From that angle just now, it really seemed like...

It seems like A!

There was even a moment when Toru Amuro almost restrained himself from rushing forward.

In his mind, he imagined Songjiang Shigure with half of his face covered. The eyes were exactly the same.

He hadn't thought about the hacker who was loyal to the organization for a long time.

Apart from the initial attempt in the counselling room, the ghost seemed to have retreated back into the shadows, leaving no trace.

Toru Amuro did suspect Matsue Shigure at first, but after the misunderstanding was clarified, he considered it a frame-up and cleared himself of suspicion.

Later, he encountered a lot of things that kept him busy and he put A's matter out of his mind.

Now think about it, if Matsue Shigure is an instructor, a police officer who seeks revenge on the organization for his partner, then what about A who appeared at the beginning? What is his position?

Why did he only appear for a moment, delete Matsue Shunye's information, and then disappear?

Toru Amuro was sure that technique of that style could not be imitated, and the timing was so well-timed that it was obviously premeditated.

There is an idiom called "a wise son suspects his neighbor."

Birds of Paradise...are afraid of the dark...No!

Amuro Toru unknowingly brought up all the doubts he had considered before, and then suppressed them one by one.

He always felt that he was trapped in a vicious circle. Too many things and ideas piled up together, making his mind like a rope with a knot in it, and he couldn't find the end that could untie the whole situation.

He felt suspicious because this might be his first time facing off against an organization, but he also felt that he should not let go of this rare inspiration.

...But how can I doubt my instructor?

When Toru Amuro raised his head in a trance, he found that he had walked to the edge of the deck, and outside the railing was the blue sea.

Now the ship has set sail, with the Victory and the Goddess moving side by side, with white waves rising on both sides.

A was hit on the boat and fell into the sea.

In the early morning, when the sky is dim.

The lights on the ship were bright at that time, but they could not illuminate the shadow behind the hacker.

Toru Amuro stroked the railing and walked to a corner where no one was around and the sound of the sea could not be heard.

******

"Amuro?" Matsue Shigure was sitting by the pool paddling and was a little surprised when she received the call. "Aren't you busy anymore?"

Next to him were Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, both wearing swimming trunks. These two men were mature, yet very childish. At the moment, they were having a water fight with some kids in the shallow water.

When they heard who Songjiang Shigure was calling, two furry, wet heads came over.

Matsue Shigure pushed Matsuda Jinpei's head away with one hand, signaling them to be quiet.

For some reason, he felt that the student seemed to be in a bad mood. Maybe he couldn't bear it anymore because of the exhaustion from working part-time?

"..." Amuro Toru was silent for a long time before he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Instructor."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Songjiang Shiyu responded, and said gently, "Are you too tired? I can hear that you sound weak."

Amuro Toru took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing. I just thought about the message I received from Instructor Onitsuka. You prepared graduation cards for us, right?"

Matsue Shigure: “!”

The two people who were eavesdropping beside him: "???"

Why would Zero suddenly bring up such a thing? They had secretly looked it up without telling the person involved!

"Yeah...what's wrong?"

Matsue Shigure stretched out his leg and tried to kick Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji aside. The two seemed to be sitting upright, but in fact their ears were standing up wildly.

Amuro Toru: "I... forget it, instructor, I was just wondering if I, Hiro, Matsuda, Hagiwara and the squad leader have met your expectations."

Songjiang Shigure suddenly realized that this guy was so tired from working that he doubted his life and started looking for a way out.

"Of course." He said firmly, "Each of you is excellent, so you will naturally achieve your goal."

Not to mention the Explosion Team who have already become ace and Date Kou who is steadily upgrading, Furuya Rei's undercover career is only one step away from being the second-in-command, a position that many undercover agents cannot reach.

Of course, what made Matsue Shigure feel the most outrageous was Morobushi Kagemitsu. He felt that if he was given a little more time, he would be able to steal the home directly.

"That's good." Amuro Toru's voice softened a little, "Then I won't bother you for now."

He hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Songjiang was about to speak when Shigure held the phone: "???"

Why does he feel so strange?

Matsue Shigure: "Tong, did you think Toru Amuro was so weird just now? He called me all of a sudden and asked me this question. I haven't even started to feed him the spiritual chicken soup yet!"

System: "How should I know? But don't just chat with me now, look at the two next to you."

Matsue Shigure raised his head and met two pairs of sparkling eyes.

Hagiwara Kenji coughed lightly and asked, "Matsue, so the graduation card also flattered us, didn't it?"

Even though they had secretly seen it a long time ago, the two still hoped to hear Matsue Shigure tell them in person.

Especially if it meets expectations!

I didn't expect that Furuya Rei would be like this in private and would even take the initiative to brag.

Songjiang Shigure almost couldn't control himself and showed a look of contempt.

If he hadn't known from the comics that these guys had turned his apartment upside down, he would have believed this nonsense.

The blond young man raised his eyebrows, looked at the two people's expectant gazes, and said coldly: "I don't remember!"

Hagiwara Kenji: “!”

Matsuda Jinpei: “!”

"Why are you looking at me? It's been so many years." Songjiang Shiyu said, "What's the point of talking about the past?"

Matsuda Jinpei shook his head and said, "That's right."

Matsuda Jinpei, whose train of thought had just been distracted by Furuya Rei, has only now fully reacted. In addition to the blessings, the greeting card also contains an invitation from Matsue Shigure to fight.

He looked at the blond young man who was splashing water from time to time, and recalled what he looked like seven years ago.

In fact, apart from the deterioration of his physical condition, Matsue Shigure's appearance, let alone his body shape, seems to have not changed much.

But if we were to fight now...

Matsuda Jinpei felt a little regretful that he had been provoked by Furuya Reiichi and started to investigate.

Kenji Hagiwara obviously thought of other things. His eyes darkened: "The case seven years ago——"

Why talk about emo things when we are having such a happy time!

How come these students don’t know how to enjoy themselves?

Songjiang Shiyu was quick to cover his mouth, then kicked the two men into the water with his feet, and said very quickly: "Don't talk about work during your vacation!"

“Plop! Plop!”

Two splashes of water appeared, and the two people who were caught off guard were floundering in the water, looking extremely funny.

Matsue Shigure couldn't help laughing out loud, but his joy turned into sorrow the next second.

The towel he used to block the sun was just hooked by Matsuda Jinpei, who then pulled it down, causing him to stagger and fall into the swimming pool.

"Ahhhh!" Songjiang Shigure was terrified.

At the critical moment, a hand suddenly supported his shoulders through the bath towel from behind, barely saving him from the pain of getting wet.

"Are you okay sir?"

Matsue Shigure turned around and saw a man about 1.8 meters tall, wearing sunglasses and flowery trousers typical of the beach.

"I'm fine." He shook his head and said "thank you" politely.

The two people who were kicked into the water wiped the water off their faces and swam over. Matsuda Jinpei pushed the soaked towel to the shore and accused, "This is a sneak attack!"

——Matsue Shigure always smashes the filters of several people with one blow as soon as they are put up.

Kenji Hagiwara rubbed his waist and grimaced. He thought it would be better to hand in the review and apologize directly after getting off the boat.

"How can something done right in front of someone be called a sneak attack?"

Matsue Shigure retorted, turned around and found that the man who had just helped him had not left yet.

"Are any of you police officers?" the man looked curious.

Hagiwara Kenji narrowed his eyes and swam back to shore: "Who are you?"

"My name is Aomura Daishi. I just passed by and heard you guys talking about proposals..."

He rubbed the back of his head in a simple manner and said, "Because I often get interested in criminal investigation knowledge when watching TV, I couldn't help asking."

"They are both police officers, but I am not." Songjiang Shiyu said casually.

Aomura Daishi was a little surprised: "But you look like a police officer."

"What does a police officer look like?"

Jinpei Matsuda stood up holding a bath towel, water droplets slid down his healthy honey-colored skin, shining in the sunlight, and his strong muscles looked particularly safe.

Matsue Shigure took a glance and quickly turned his head.

He is not jealous, absolutely not jealous!

Aomura Taishi changed the subject: "It's just an intuition. So what are your names?"

Such an enthusiastic Japanese is actually quite rare, but after all, he just helped Matsue Shigure, so the three of them still exchanged names with him.

Aomura Daishi shook Hagiwara Kenji's hand vigorously, looked at the latter's vigilant eyes, and smiled: "Then we won't disturb the three police officers from swimming. See you at the masquerade ball tonight."

He left politely after saying this. Matsuda Jinpei said in a depressed tone, "Why do I feel this guy is weird? He's too familiar!"

Moreover, he shook hands with Kenji Hagiwara and Shigure Matsue, but not with him.

"I don't know why you're so enthusiastic." Hagiwara Kenji shook his head. "It's just a chance meeting, and I don't think we'll see each other again."

He glanced down at his waterproof watch and discovered that it was almost time to go on duty.

"By the way, Matsue." Matsuda Jinpei looked at the blond young man who moved under the parasol, "Tonight we have to follow the congressman, that masquerade ball——"

"I'll just go with Conan and the others." Matsue Shigure changed a towel and wiped his wet hair, "As for you two, be careful when you patrol at night."

"Also, isn't it time for you to go to work now?"

He stood up with a smile and casually patted the two men's abdominal muscles: "If you don't put on your clothes, the girls behind you will drool!"

It feels really good.

Both of them: “!!!”

*********

"That's a must."

"Each of you is excellent, so you all achieved your goals."

Matsue Shigure's gentle voice came from the phone, with an unquestionable tone and without any hesitation.

Toru Amuro slowly closed her phone and closed her eyes.

He naturally checked the contents of the graduation cards, but the one he remembered most was not the one addressed to himself, but the one addressed to Morobushi Kagemitsu.

[I don't ask much of you, just live your life. 】

This is the most special greeting card written by Matsue Shigure, and it carries the most basic expectations of the cold-faced instructor for Morobushi Jingguang.

After Songjiang Shigure regained his memory, he never mentioned Morobushi Kagemitsu and never asked whether he was dead or alive. I don't know if he had already noticed it at the cemetery or if he just didn't want to mention it.

He has always been passive in accepting everyone's opinions and never takes the initiative to explain anything.

Toru Amuro could not see anything from those eyes that seemed clear but were actually bottomless.

But this time, Matsue Shigure was willing to give him an answer, and he still hoped that Morobushi Jingguang would survive.

Since we want Hiro to live, it is impossible to push him to death.

"I believe it." Amuro Toru put the phone to his chest, his voice hoarse, "I really believe it."

I believe you have nothing to do with Hiro's affairs.
