Chapter 7



"Miss Xiaozi, I think I've had enough rest. Dinner tonight..."

"No, don't even think about it! You have to eat light food!"

In the ward, Azusa Enomoto put her hands on her hips and chattered seriously to Matsue Shigure who was lying on the bed. Her eyes full of regret seemed to turn into a knife and stab him in the face.

Azusa Enomoto muttered: "I thought you would be safe with Conan outside, but I didn't expect you would encounter a bomb..."

Matsue Shigure said weakly: "Nothing happened to me in the store? Also, why did Conan-kun take me with him?"

Azusa Enomoto: "Just think about how many sandwiches you've ruined!"

Matsue Shigure: “…” He was really just curious about why the sandwiches made by Amuro Toru were completely different from the ones they made, so he just tried a few more times.

Woohoo, Miss Xiaozi is so fierce.

System: "I said that people treat you as their son."

Songjiang Shigure: "You are also mean to me QAQ, I am going to make a scene."

System: "...Shut up."

Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda, who happened to be visiting, also laughed out loud when they heard the rather contrasting conversation between Azusa Enomoto and Junya Matsue.

"Ah!" Enomoto Azusa jumped in fright when she heard the voice, and patted her chest to greet the two people, "Officer Hagiwara and Officer Matsuda, good afternoon."

"We are here to visit Mr. Matsue," Hagiwara said with a smile, "After all, this incident was successfully resolved thanks to him."

Matsuda Jinpei was a little curious: "Are you siblings?"

Enomoto Azusa waved his hands: "No, Songjiang-kun is a new employee in our store. The manager asked me to take care of him, but this guy..."

As she said this, she glared at Matsue Shunye angrily. With Amuro Toru being such a perfect example before her, Matsue Shunye's failure was really a headache for her.

Hagiwara Kenji: “But you two are very close.”

Azusa Enomoto did not refute this statement. She smiled and said, "Matsue-kun is a very easy person to get along with."

We get along very well...

Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei looked at each other and began to collect information.

Having said that, the two found that when they entered the room, the blond young man leaning on the bed suddenly became much quieter, and his cobalt blue eyes like the sea looked at them, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

The two of them greeted each other in a familiar manner, found a small stool and sat down. Seeing that they seemed to have something to say, Enomoto Azusa found an excuse to leave.

Songjiang Shiyu: "..." Erkang hand.jpg

Xiaozi, Xiaozi, how can I live without you!

He is now 80% certain that Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji are sick of cats, and are suspicious of everyone they see.

For example, Toru Amuro. The character modeled after him in the first game was "Furiya Rei", a serious and conscientious good student; the character modeled after him in the second game was "Bourbon/Toru Amuro", a member of a criminal organization who kills decisively; and now... a part-time worker in a cafe?

Compared to Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, whose professions and names have not changed, Toru Amuro can be said to be constantly changing.

This gave Songjiang Shigure some invisible comfort - at least the target of his mission was not in trouble and was innocent - a potential criminal.

But what should he do with the two gorillas squatting in front of him?

"What do you want to ask?" Matsue Shigure remained calm on the surface and said to the two with a smile, "I thought it would be Inspector Megure who asked me to take a statement."

Matsuda Jinpei replied: "Conan has already gone to the police station to give a statement and has a clear understanding of the entire case. The reason we came here this time is to tell you the result and secondly..."

"We felt like we had known each other for a long time, Mr. Matsue, and we want to make friends with you," Hagiwara Kenji added decisively.

Matsue Shigure's smile froze: "Ahaha, is that so?"

Matsue Shigure: "System, everything, grab it!"

System: "Great Compassion Mantra Loop.mp3"

A trace of sadness flashed across Hagiwara Kenji's face: "Does Mr. Matsue dislike us?"

——Yes. Matsue Shigure wanted to say this, but with his current appearance, he couldn't refuse so bluntly.

He could only scratch his head and pretend to be embarrassed and said, "No... I'm just a little nervous when I see the police."

Matsuda Jinpei stroked his chin and asked, "Are we serious?"

Matsue Shigure: "No, just as an ordinary citizen, I would feel nervous when I see the police."

Hagiwara Kenji: "It seems that's true... But then again, Mr. Matsue, do you have any other relatives here? Why don't you see anyone accompanying you in the hospital?"

Songjiang Shiyu's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but ask the system: "Tong, I don't have it, right?"

The system was indifferent: "Didn't you check it using hacking techniques?"

That's it!

Matsue Shigure thought that this game had a bug in this aspect. Since the background was complete, why did every ID card show him as an orphan, so lonely that he could only sign his own name when he was sick? Isn't that too unscientific?

But it's better this way, because he must consider more things before tearing the card.

“…I don’t think I have any.”

The duo of the Explosion Virgin Group who were sitting by the bed heard Songjiang Xun's hesitant and slow answer.

The blond young man's usual bun had now fallen down and was hanging over his shoulders. He was wearing a somewhat loose hospital gown, revealing a section of his fair neck. He seemed a little conflicted and bit his lip subconsciously.

Is this question so difficult to answer?

Hagiwara Kenji put his hands on his sides, subconsciously tightened them, and then quietly loosened them. He pretended not to see the embarrassment on his face, but still asked, "Don't you have any parents or sisters?"

Matsue Xunya: "Well... I have been alone since I can remember, and I don't know the information of my parents."

"Bang!"

"Hey, Xiao Zhenping, what are you doing!"

Matsuda Jinpei pressed down on Hagiwara Kenji's head, causing it to hit the edge of the bed, causing the latter to cry out in pain.

The curly-haired police officer apologized to Matsue Shigure with a stern face: "My colleague is not very smart and always likes to ask some strange questions. Please don't mind it, Mr. Matsue."

Hagiwara Kenji also covered his forehead with his hands, tears almost streaming down his face: "I'm sorry, I overstepped the line."

Matsue Shigure: “…” Do you think he is a fool!

Look at how they play the good cop and the bad cop, it's obvious that these two guys were the most expressive about their emotions when they were in the police academy!

He just smiled gently and said, "It's okay. I'm living a happy life now. I like it very much."

"Being a waiter at the Poirot Cafe? Actually, Mr. Songjiang is really talented in bomb disposal and has steady hands. Can you consider joining the Explosives Unit as an outside helper?"

The blond young man quickly refused: "No, no, no, forget it, this time it was just an accident... I don't want to come into contact with something as dangerous as a bomb again. Uh, that's not what I meant. You are very brave and powerful!"

"Anyway, I want to work at Café Poirot now!" Matsue Xunye's face was so pious that it seemed as if holy light was emitting from it.

Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji were speechless for a while.

——You actually have such an aversion to bomb disposal.

In the end, Kenji Hagihara explained the follow-up of the entire case, which was indeed very similar to what Matsue Shigure had imagined.

"The vice president of the toy factory was negotiating with Ms. Aihara about the acquisition of the factory. When the contract was about to be signed, Ms. Aihara found out that the other party had not informed other shareholders and was just trying to hide his money from her. She flatly refused and wanted to expose his behavior, so the other party wanted to kill her today to silence her."

"Ms. Aihara's son particularly likes the Happy Bomber. She is too busy with work to spend time with her child, so she wanted to make him happy, but she almost got herself into trouble. Oh, by the way, this is a thank-you gift that Ms. Aihara asked me to pass on."

Kenji Hagihara handed the gift box to Shigure Matsue.

"Thank you."

Songjiang Shiyu looked at the exquisite packaging and felt itchy. He wanted to open it! !

However, there are outsiders here now, so it would not be a good idea to just tear it down. We still have to coax Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda out first.

The few of them chatted for a while, and seeing that Matsue Xun was really not in the mood to chat with them, Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei also very tactfully said goodbye and left.

"Goodbye, officers. Thank you for your help."

"Don't be polite with us. If you don't mind, Mr. Songjiang, please just call us by our last names."

"...Then you can just call me Songjiang."

***

After the two left, Songjiang Shiyu excitedly hugged the gift box in his arms and quickly opened it.

After removing the soft pad covering the upper layer and digging deeper, Matsue Shigure saw a sapphire the size of a pigeon egg lying in an exquisite package!

Matsue Shigure: "Wow! I'm rich! I love rich sister!"

Songjiang Shigure: "What kind of successful woman is this in the new era? She gives gems to her son whenever she asks, and she sponsors a toy factory when her son likes toys. She's amazing!"

Matsue Shigure: "Yijie, this is so beautiful and worth the money!"

System: "...Calm down. Will Song Jiangxun also sell the gemstones?"

Songjiang Shigure: "..."

Yes, as a waiter in a cafe with a hidden identity, if he really wants to sell the gemstone, he might be questioned by his superiors in the public security department. If they ask him how his work is going...

"Miss Azusa's pasta is delicious, and Mr. Amuro's sandwiches are amazing. What? Where is the black workshop?"

——He’s probably going to be snapped off!

Since it couldn't be sold, the sapphire could only be kept there for its beauty, and Songjiang Shigure instantly wilted.

“But it’s still very beautiful.”

He got out of bed, dragged his injured leg wrapped in a thick bandage to the window of the ward, and looked up at the sky with the gem in his hand.

The sapphire refracted a strange light under the bright sunlight and became exceptionally translucent, turning into the deep blue color that Matsue Shigure liked the most.

His mood suddenly became very good, and the annoyance of being caught and interrogated just now disappeared in an instant.

The system looked at Songjiang Shiyu's happy expression, wanting to say something but stopping itself, and still not interrupting him.

He actually wanted to tell the host to be more restrained now. For example, his action of leaning against the window to look at the gemstone had been seen by the owner of a Porsche 356A parked next to the hospital.

The system analyzed calmly and thought rationally, and felt that it was impossible for all the NPCs in the second round to have additional memories, not to mention... now that they have seen it, the host cannot escape no matter what.

It’s better to talk to him later and let him laugh for a while.

***

"Brother, what happened?"

Vodka, who was sitting in the driver's seat, saw Gin suddenly order the car to stop, looked outside, and also poked his head out of curiosity.

Gin didn't say anything. He raised his hand and took a picture of the young man standing by the window not far away.

"Click", the phone faithfully reproduced this scene.

The blond young man held his chin with one hand, raised the azure gem, and smiled very happily. The background was a clear sky with no clouds.

It's like a free bird flying in the blue sky.

"Brother? Um, the mission..."

Gin closed the cover of his phone and told Vodka to continue driving. When his younger brother asked him curiously again, he answered indifferently.

"Just saw a bird escape from the cage."

"So do you want to catch him back?"

"House sparrows that are used to being kept captive either die of hunger in the wild or come back home obediently."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Shigure's face is actually the same in all three rounds, but in Round 2A, he always wore a mask and hood, so Touko and the others never saw his real face.
