Chapter 33 Hagiwara and Matsuda

…

"I'm already sleepy." Jinpei Matsuda yawned, looking tired.

"It's because the class monitor has something to do today and can't come, so Xiao Zhenping wants to be lazy and have a casual dinner." Hagiwara Kenji exposed him.

Matsuda Jinpei glanced at Yu Xunran, and snorted with a terrifying expression: "After graduation, those guys disappeared faster than one another. I think that if I want to drink in a few days, I won't be able to find anyone."

Hagiwara Kenji was filled with anger, and when he laughed, he looked heartless: "Little Zhenping, don't be angry, I'm here to accompany you! Don't treat me like a human being!"

"If it's just the two of us, we can get together at home."

While they were talking, the door of the restaurant was opened and the two walked in.

"There have been so many things going on recently. It's rare to have a day to relax. Xiaozhenping, I'm going to get drunk tonight."

The two walked to a place and sat down, and Kenji Hagiwara said with a smile.

Matsuda Jinpei said "hmm", not in a very good mood.

One seat apart.

Miyagawa Ling was trembling.

He wanted to see them, but not at this time!!

Help, help, help!!

Who comes to rescue him!!

Ahhhhh!

Miyagawa Ling's mind was filled with a string of "Save me", and he couldn't help but turn around and take a look at the two of them.

He suppressed his fluctuating emotions and told himself that he must not have any contact with them now.

It’s bad enough that his every move was monitored, the most important thing is... he was wearing such clothes!

Isn’t this a dark history?!

You must not be seen!!

Miyakawa Ling put his hand on the mask and tried to take it off, but his hand was shaking.

Finally, he took off his mask with all his might, then lowered his head again and again, as if he wanted to bury it in the plate.

"Hello, classmate."

To make matters worse, when Miyagawa Ling was trying hard to reduce his presence, someone came to talk to him.

"..." Miyagawa Ling raised his head slightly and saw a very beautiful girl with a headband on her head, looking at him with a pair of sparkling eyes.

After seeing his face, those eyes brightened even more!

He remained silent, trying to make the other person leave with his indifference.

The girl was not discouraged. She asked more enthusiastically: "Classmate, which school are you from? What's your name? Your school uniform looks familiar to me..."

"..."Miyagawa Ling.

Ahhh! He's going to die!

He lowered his voice, pretending to have a cold, and said in a very low voice: "Sorry, I don't feel like talking."

"Ah... okay." The girl's expression suddenly turned sad.

"Sorry to bother you. My best friend is just a little enthusiastic." Another black-haired girl apologized awkwardly.

Then, she hesitated and looked at Miyakawa Ryo hesitantly.

The only boy couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to say, "Classmate, we actually want to ask if you can switch seats with us. The only multi-person seat we just found was already reserved, so now there are only two seats left... Of course, if you don't want to, it's okay, we can wait a little longer."

Change seats.

Miyagawa Ling hesitated. Standing up would probably attract attention, but if he continued to sit here, there was also the risk of being discovered at any time.

Finally, he nodded.

"Great! Thank you!"

"Thank you, classmate!" Although she was thanking him, Suzuki Sonoko's face showed the pain of being rejected: "Please take care of yourself!"

Miyakawa Ling put on his mask, picked up his plate, and walked to the location the three people mentioned.

When he stood up, his heart was in his throat, but nothing happened. Maybe it was his school uniform that played a role.

Miyagawa Ling sat in his new seat, far away from the danger zone, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Buzz…”

The cell phone vibrated, and Miyagawa Ling took a look and saw that it was a call from Chianti.

His peripheral vision was focused on the woman, while he answered the phone call.

"Where are you?"

Chianti's voice was very angry: "The mission will start in a few hours! Why don't you come!"

The organization's action time is in the early morning of the 20th.

Miyagawa Ling's heart sank, time was running out... He had a premonition that if he didn't find the key person and get the USB drive quickly, something very bad would happen.

"I'm eating outside." Miyakawa Ling lowered his voice and coughed twice, "Sister, I will be home on time, you don't have to worry about me."

Chianti was stunned by his call of "sister". The corner of her mouth twitched, and she also understood that he meant it was inconvenient to talk.

"I don't care what you are doing. If you are late for this mission, you will die!"

"Of course I understand."

…

"Sorry, I don't feel like talking."

Although it was noisy in the restaurant, the sounds from next door, less than half a meter away, could still be heard clearly.

However, because Miyagawa Rei's voice was so low, Hagiwara Kenji could only hear a few vague syllables.

He certainly didn't notice it at first.

Even when the waiter came to serve the food, he glanced at the table with worry.

Kenji Hagiwara instinctively followed his line of sight and looked over.

From his angle, he could only see half of the back of the head; the rest was unclear.

Nothing unusual or noteworthy.

However, police officers are very sharp. Even though he didn't care, he still subconsciously kept some attention on the table when the waiter glanced at him.

Therefore, when Miyagawa Rei changed seats with someone and stood up, Hagiwara Kenji's eyes fell on him.

Wearing school uniform, student.

His walking posture was a little stiff, with his head slightly lowered. He looked introverted and shy, and was not used to being in crowded places.

"What are you looking at?"

Matsuda Jinpei, who had his back to Miyagawa Ryo, noticed the look in his friend's eyes and turned back to look.

"Nothing." said Hagiwara Kenji.

But Jinpei Matsuda looked at the back, his pupils shrinking slightly.

"What's wrong?" Now it was Hagiwara Kenji who was confused.

"It feels a little familiar..." Matsuda Jinpei narrowed his eyes and said based on his intuition.

"Familiar?" Hagiwara Kenji looked over again, but he didn't feel anything familiar until the person was out of his sight.

Miyagawa Rei deliberately changed the way he walked, and his school uniform was a little bigger, making his body shape look different, so it was normal that Hagiwara Kenji didn't feel familiar with him at first.

"Do you know Xiao Zhenping?" asked Hagiwara Kenji.

“…Not really sure.” Matsuda Jinpei withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to drink, but he was obviously a little absent-minded.

…

In the residual light, the woman finished her meal and touched up her makeup in front of a small mirror, as if she was preparing to leave.

Miyagawa Ling touched the mask and felt relieved after making sure it was still there.

At this moment, he recalled Belmode's face-changing technology and was very envious.

The woman was applying lipstick in front of the mirror - to Miyagawa Ryo, it was more like observing her surroundings through the mirror - she was applying it very slowly and carefully.

During this time, his eyes met Miyagawa Ling's.

Miyagawa Ling naturally looked away, his expression a little dazed, as if he was in a trance.

The woman didn't pay much attention to him.

Just as the woman closed the mirror and Miyagawa Ling was about to get up and leave to guard the woman outside, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

As it got closer, there was a sharp scream.

"ah--"

Miyakawa Ling looked back and saw that the woman sitting behind him suddenly fell to the ground, bleeding from her mouth, and lost consciousness.

The woman she was traveling with screamed, and people around looked towards the corner.

Miyagawa Ling's heart tightened, oh no.

"What's wrong?"

Someone went to smell the person who had fallen to the ground, and then said in horror: "Miko is dead..."

"Ahh——" There was another scream in the restaurant.

"Everyone, stay where you are and don't touch the dead!"

The first person to rush over was the boy who had first mentioned the position swap to Miyagawa Rei. Miyagawa Rei remembered his name was "Shinichi".

"No one should leave the restaurant until the police arrive!" the boy said very skillfully.

Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda quickly arrived beside the deceased and revealed their identities as police officers.

"..." Miyagawa Ling's hands were shaking. He sat back in his seat, pretended to be scared, lowered his head, and tried to reduce his presence.

"What is your relationship with the deceased?" Hagiwara Kenji asked seriously.

"I...I'm her good friend."

"I'm Miko's boyfriend."

"I'm her colleague."

While Kenji Hagiwara was asking questions, Jinpei Matsuda was squatting on the ground, examining the body.

At the same time, Kudo Shinichi was also observing the corpse and the scene.

Here, the three were solving the case, while at the other side, Miyagawa Ling was nervous and noticed that the expression of the woman not far away became a little strange.

She looked outside, then looked at Hagiwara Kenji and the others, and seemed ready to make some moves.

Do you want to leave? Do you have anything in your bag? Are you anxious? Are you alert?

There's no doubt about it, this woman must have something to do with the clues provided by Rum.

Miyakawa Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, a lot of information flashed through his mind, his eyes were a little dim, and his face with a mask lowered consciously.

"It's you, Kota Chikada, you killed Miss Miko." Over there, the case was nearing its end, and the three found the murderer.

Just wait until the case is over and leave quietly...

Miyakawa Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that he breathed a sigh of relief too early!

He did nothing, but the man who was accused of being the murderer suddenly rushed up angrily, grabbed his collar and roared:

"Did you kill Meiko? Something happened to her as soon as you came here! What did you do?! Did you know that Meiko just found out she was pregnant! You beast!"

“???” Miyagawa Ling.

He didn't know what the look in his eyes was like when he looked over there. He only knew that when the man met his gaze, his body froze and a look of fear appeared on his face.

Inside the restaurant, everyone's eyes were focused here.

Miyagawa Ling's eyes have become timid.

The man realized that he was frightened, and after seeing Miyakawa Ling's eyes and feeling the gazes of the people around him, his pride and nervousness took over and he became even angrier: "Why are you pretending? It was you who killed Meiko! You hid your identity! You were the one who followed Meiko some time ago!"

He tore off Miyakawa Ling's mask, but Miyakawa Ling was concerned about the woman's presence and did not show any skills that were not appropriate.

The moment that familiar face was revealed, both Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei held their breath.
