Chapter 17 What He Understood

Even Furuya Rei's teeth were chattering, but he rationally continued what Hagiwara Kenji said: "If Ling knew it was Matsuda, it meant he was asking for help or sending a message. If it was the latter, it means Ling's situation in that organization is very bad... He is almost on the edge of a cliff."

On the edge of a cliff.

Fūya Rei turned to look at Koujinran: "Right?"

It must be wrong, right?

But Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded: "Yes."

The young man with cat eyes looked dazed, giving people the feeling that he himself didn't know what he was talking about: "But even if it's the former, he can't communicate with the public security himself. He can't ask for help from Matsuda who he ran into by chance, and he can't say it openly... Ling's situation is not much better."

"..." An even heavier atmosphere enveloped the entire room.

"How can I help Ling? How can I help?" Furiya Ling murmured. The pervasive coldness in the room made him almost unable to feel the presence of oxygen.

He kept telling himself to stay calm, but when he thought about the fact that every second, there was a pair of hands pushing Miyakawa Ling off the cliff...

Fūya Ling's throat was dry, and his eyes fell on Matsuda Jinpei. He suddenly rushed forward and pulled him up: "Matsuda! Since you have met Ling, why don't you bring him back?"

Matsuda Jinpei was forcibly pulled up. He looked at the cold eyes of the blond and punched him: "Do you think I don't want to? Leaving there is equivalent to giving up Miyakawa with my own hands! Do you think I don't want to save him?!"

Fūya Ling was hit in the face by a punch, but he did not dodge or evade. He continued to question with red eyes: "What are you afraid of? As long as we call the police, the police will surround us and they will definitely be able to take Ling away!"

Matsuda Jinpei's chest rose and fell violently. He sneered, "What am I afraid of? Furuya Rei, don't you know? Apart from killing Miyakawa on the spot, is there anything more terrifying?"

"..." Fang Gu Ling looked at him intently.

Matsuda Jinpei looked back with the same cold eyes.

Morofushi Kagemitsu stood up and calmly pulled Furukaya Rei.

He didn't say anything, but Furuya Rei suddenly let go of Matsuda Jinpei, then bent down and punched him!

Jinpei Matsuda didn't even blink.

"Bang!"

The punch hit the ground beside Matsuda Jinping with a heavy sound.

After that, Furuya Rei seemed to have lost all his strength and fell to the side. He asked absentmindedly: "Why didn't you stop him when we were only a few meters away?"

Why? Rei Furuya.

Matsuda Jinpei kicked him and laughed in anger, "That's because it was Miyagawa's own idea to leave alone at that time. Do you want me to punch you again to wake you up?"

Fūya Rei closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Sorry, Matsuda."

"You were the one who deliberately rushed over to get beaten, and you were also the one who got beaten. Apologize? You should thank me!"

"Everyone calm down..." Hagiwara Kenji took a deep breath and looked at Date Kou who had been silent the whole time: "Captain, have you thought of anything?"

Idahang clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention. There was deep worry in his eyes. "Just now, I have been thinking about one thing."

"The day before yesterday, when I went to look for the instructor, I heard him making a phone call in his office. The instructor asked, 'Is that child okay?' I thought he was asking about a relative's child, so I didn't pay much attention and planned to look for him later. But just as I turned around to leave, I heard the instructor say, 'I don't have the right to know.'"

"I didn't hear what he said afterwards..." Ida Kou looked at his four classmates and said, "What do you think the instructor was talking about? Could it be Miyakawa?"

Morofu Jingguang was shocked: "It's very likely!"

"If that's the case, it means that the police are well aware of the organization that Komiyagawa is currently in, and that mission information related to the organization is highly confidential," Hagiwara Kenji analyzed.

"Organization" "Highly confidential"...

Hearing this, a scene from not long ago suddenly flashed through Fūya Rei's mind.

The Public Security Bureau invited him to join Team Zero and participate in the mission of undercover in the black organization.

The Black...Organization?

Could it be that?

Such a dangerous and dark place?

While his companions were still analyzing, the blond young man lying on the ground suddenly turned over, blocked the gazes behind him, and took out a cell phone from his pocket.

He quickly found the police number he had added not long ago, and tremblingly sent a message:

[My contemporary Miyagawa Ryo, in the Black Organization]

There is no doubt that it is an affirmative sentence.

It was as if he already knew some decisive evidence and was telling the police this information.

"Zero?" Morofushi Jingguang noticed his abnormality.

Furiya Ling turned his back to everyone and said, "I'm fine."

As soon as I finished speaking, I received a reply.

The reply was a random mess of words. Rei Furuya translated it word by word using what he had learned in the police academy:

【Please contact us by phone at your convenience】

Furiya Rei put down his phone, his purple-gray eyes were covered with a layer of haze. He seemed to understand something, and seemed to have made some decision.

…

The next morning, in a laboratory.

"What?!"

The girl jumped off the chair like a frightened bird.

She was in a state of confusion and gritted her teeth as she said, "Sister, how can you take him back?!"

Although Miyano Akemi had already guessed her sister's reaction, she still lowered her voice with a guilty conscience: "Shiho, he was interrogated by the organization because of me... and I only brought him back temporarily because he fainted. Don't worry, I will let him go as soon as he wakes up!"

"Sister!" Miyano Shiho emphasized, "He approached you on purpose! Didn't he send you a message last night in advance, asking you to come over?"

"I guess Hane-kun sent me a message to go to the base because he wanted to tell me about Aida Jōji."

"Can't I talk on my phone?! Just by coincidence, I sent you a message before entering the interrogation room? You saw him lying outside the base right after you arrived?"

Miyano Akemi said helplessly: "I also have doubts, but..."

She thought back to last night, the young man's last look, and the inexplicable promise that sounded like a vow.

"...Anyway, Shiho, I'll be careful. Don't worry about me. After all, my sister has been in the organization for many years."

"But, sister..." Miyano Shiho was about to say something, but a researcher behind her said coldly:

"Shirley, your five-minute call time is up. Please return to work immediately."

The next second, the phone was automatically hung up.

The girl put down her phone in a daze, with reluctance and worry flashing in her eyes.

And Miyano Akemi, looking at the call that was forced to be hung up, also sighed deeply.

She put down her phone, went back into the house, and looked at the young man who was still unconscious.

"Yu Renling..." She murmured silently: "What on earth do you want to do?"

"No." The person on the bed suddenly said.

Miyano Akemi was startled, thinking that the young man had woken up, and quickly adjusted her expression. However, when she got closer, she found that the young man's eyes were tightly closed, and his expression was filled with helplessness and fear.

"No." He murmured unconsciously.

Are you having a nightmare?

Miyano Akemi looked at the expression of the black-haired young man, and a deep empathy welled up from the depths of her lonely heart.

If... he was pretending even when he was unconscious, that would be too unfair.

This is real.

After making the judgment, Miyano Akemi's eyes gradually softened.

Never mind... I'll trust you just this once, Hane-kun.

…

Miyagawa Ling suddenly opened his eyes.

"Did you have a nightmare?" a questioning voice came from the side.

His eyes, still somewhat dazed, fell on the woman beside him.

"Miyano...senior."

Miyano Akemi poured a glass of water and walked to the bedside. "It looks like a terrible nightmare."

Miyakawa Ling was silent for a moment, sat up, and continued, "That's right."

Miyano Akemi handed him the water and asked casually, "What did you dream about?"

He thought for a moment and said, "My cat fell into the water while trying to save a very unpalatable dried fish. I fished it out and scolded it, but it didn't realize what it did wrong and kept meowing at me."

"..." Miyano Akemi.

Although it sounds fake, one can still hear the resentment of the speaker from the description of "extremely unpalatable".

After Miyagawa Ling finished speaking, he held the cup and took a sip of water.

His headache had eased a lot, but after the injection of the drug, the pain, which was not severe but always present, spread all over his body.

Miyano Akemi turned around and picked up something on the table:

"It fell out of your pocket."

She opened her palm, and an exquisite and expensive pocket watch lay quietly on it.

Miyakawa Ling smiled: "Thank you."

He took the golden pocket watch, and although his expression didn't change much, Miyano Akemi vaguely sensed something.

This pocket watch... must be something very important to him, right?

The next second, the young man on the bed said it himself: "This thing is very important to me."

Miyano Akemi followed up on his question and asked, "Was it given to you by an important person?"

"No." Miyakawa Ling opened the pocket watch and checked whether the inside was intact: "When I was a child, I accidentally helped a wealthy foreign businessman solve a case. To express his gratitude, he gave me this thing."

"I see. It's very commemorative, isn't it?"

"No, mainly because they are expensive, a pair costs $600,000."

"???" Miyano Akemi.

How many??!

As if he said this just to see Miyano Akemi's expression, the young man smiled brightly: "You heard it right, 600,000 US dollars."

"...So you're carrying $300,000 with you?" Shouldn't something like this be kept at home as a display?

"Is there a problem? Isn't a watch something you carry with you to tell time?" Miyakawa Ryo said as if it was a matter of course.

"..." Miyano Akemi.

She said numbly, "You're right."

Then something occurred to me: "A pair? What about the other one?"

"I don't know. Since it was given to two people separately, it's normal that one of them will never see the other in his lifetime."
