Chapter 35 Loneliness is better



Chapter 35 Loneliness is better

Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda left.

Miyagawa Ling should have let go of his tension and breathed a sigh of relief.

But as he watched the two people walk out of the restaurant, he was reluctant to take his eyes off them.

After staring eagerly for a few seconds, Miyagawa Ling pinched himself expressionlessly.

Wake up, if they could have communicated just now, they wouldn’t have had such a friendly “exchange”!

Ah...but.

It's a bit lonely to be in an organization alone.

If Miyagawa Ryo knew at that time how "lively" his organization would be in the future, he would definitely not say such things.

——Compared to such a horrible thing, loneliness is better after all!

Noticing that the woman had walked out of the restaurant, Miyagawa Ling squatted down, wiped the blood off the ground, folded the blood-stained tissue, put it in his pocket, and then prepared to follow her.

"Classmate..."

Hearing the shout, Miyagawa Ling turned around and saw the young detective staring at him with sapphire blue eyes, without blinking, with worry and suspicion in his eyes.

He thought for a moment and said, "Next time before reasoning, you can wait a few more seconds before making a decision."

"?" Kudo Shinichi: "Why?"

"Because you won't be needed then."

"???"

Ignoring the boy who was full of questions, Miyakawa Ling walked out the door.

The woman had walked about fifty meters away. The police car next to her was still parked. Jinpei Matsuda was standing beside the car, and Kenji Hagiwara was talking to the people in the car.

Noticing Miyagawa Ryo, Matsuda Jinpei glanced at him indifferently, while Hagiwara Kenji did not turn back.

Miyagawa Ling walked along the street and soon left here.

"Miyagawa-kun, there is nothing unusual around point C."

"Spot A is the same."

"There are police officers sneaking in from Point B..."

"Some codenamed members of the organization have left. I heard someone calling the woman 'Chianti'. Chianti was on the phone with a man named Gin, apparently confirming someone's whereabouts."

The voices of several undercover agents were heard in the earphones, and Miyakawa Ryo recorded all this information into his brain.

It seems that the people Chianti wants to kill are the public security officers.

He checked his phone. It was now 9:30 in the evening and the organization had already started to move out.

The time Chianti gave Miyakawa Rei to complete the task was 12:30, but according to Miyakawa Rei's speculation, Chianti and Gin's tasks were different.

Rum asked Miyagawa Ling to find the USB flash drive, but Miyagawa Ling didn't believe that this had nothing to do with Gin's actions.

The USB flash drive must be the most critical point in this mission, and Rum is certain that if Miyakawa Ling finds it, it will be enough to get the code name.

But Rum's information was given too late, and the amount of information was too little. Miyakawa Ling didn't think that Rum was deliberately concealing it, but no matter what, trying to find the person carrying the USB flash drive in such a vast crowd is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Time is urgent and we don't want to make any mistakes. This is a very difficult task.

Miyakawa Ling hid in the shadows and saw the woman he was following open the door and enter the house.

The door closed slowly.

Miyakawa Ryo now has two choices: one is to follow up and interrogate; the other is to leave first, continue the investigation, and take action after confirming the target.

But he might not be able to confirm the target. In three days, there was still too little to find out.

Going in to interrogate her might not necessarily be useful. If the person behind the scenes had placed a bug on the woman and fled, it would be impossible to find him in a short time.

Miyakawa Ling had no choice but to wait in front of the woman's house for an hour.

At ten forty, a middle-aged man knocked on the woman's door.

After that, he went in for about five minutes and left again, looking around.

Miyakawa Ling looked at the man's back. This man was not among the targets...

He followed.

Shortly after Miyagawa Ling left, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and a figure walked silently to the woman's door.

“Knock, knock.”

"who?"

The woman heard the knock on the door and became alert.

"It's me."

Hearing the voice of someone coming, the woman gripped the kitchen knife tightly and opened the door a little. Only after she saw that it was the person she was waiting for did she relax.

She cried with joy: "Officer, you are here?! Come in!"

Hagiwara Kenji walked in and the woman quickly closed the door.

"Officer, has anyone seen you?" she asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, I've looked around and no one is following me."

Hagiwara Kenji: "The note you gave me this afternoon..."

"Come with me." The woman entered the study and turned a switch. Then, the bookshelf opened, revealing a secret door inside.

The woman walked in first. A sharp light flashed across Kenji Hagiwara's eyes. Then, remaining vigilant and suspicious, he followed her in.

It's a cover.

This man is a cover.

In other words, the USB flash drive was really in the woman's hands.

After making sure that the man did not have what she wanted, Miyagawa Ling did not disturb the man and went straight back to the woman's residence.

He didn't think that the woman used a man as a disguise to lure him away in order to take the opportunity to escape, and he was also sure that the woman didn't realize that he was following her.

So she did this... to give the USB drive to someone else?

Or... delaying time?

No matter which one it is, once you have determined your goal, there is no time to hesitate.

Time is running out and he has something important to do later.

After Miyagawa Ling returned to the woman's residence, he climbed directly over the back wall.

There were faint male voices coming from the house, but according to Miyakawa Rei's investigation, the woman lived alone.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and approached quietly.

A few minutes ago.

"I can't hold this thing anymore! I'll die! I'm definitely going to die!!"

In the secret door behind the study, Mayu Sakugu burst into tears and handed a transparent bag to Kenji Hagiwara.

A... USB drive?

"Miss, calm down. I'm here and I will protect you." Hagiwara Kenji took the things, helped the woman up, and said softly, "Tell me what happened slowly."

Zuo Gu Zhenyou sobbed and said vaguely: "A friend of my grandfather came back from abroad not long ago... I don't know why, but he gave it to me... and told me to keep it for a while."

"But the day after I got it, I heard that... the elder had died!"

"Then, several of his children also met with accidents..."

"He said a lot of inexplicable things to me before, and I didn't understand them. But now, no matter how stupid I am, I realized that something was wrong!"

"Within two days, strangers appeared around me and strange things happened... I was so scared! I was told not to call the police, not to tell anyone, and not to do anything different than usual. I had to go to work as usual..."

The woman's tone was full of panic and helplessness. Although many things had not been made clear, just these words were enough to make people feel the terrible crisis hidden behind it.

Kenji Hagiwara's expression became serious. After such a thing happened, he actually told her "not to call the police"?

He lowered his head. The transparent bag in his palm was only the size of his palm, but at this moment it felt extremely heavy.

He was involved in a very horrific incident—he realized it.

"Officer, I haven't slept for three days! My bag is full of notes asking for help! If this continues, they will either kill me or I will go crazy!"

Mayu suddenly knelt down and said excitedly, "Today, I saw you solve the case and care about that student so much. I knew you were a good police officer, so I took the risk to send you a message! Mr. Officer, please save me! Save me! I don't want to die!!"

Hagiwara Kenji put the USB drive into his pocket. "This is what the police should do. Miss, please stand up and tell me the details."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Mayu Sakugu nodded with red eyes.

Just as she was about to speak, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.

She hurriedly took out her cell phone, and when she saw it vibrating, it was because the surveillance camera in the house captured someone walking around. Her face turned pale in an instant.

"Officer, officer? What should I do? They must be here to kill me... I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" Mayu Sakugu lost control of her cell phone and it fell to the ground.

Making a sound now is definitely not a good thing.

Kenji Hagiwara quickly caught it, then calmly zoomed in on the surveillance video.

In the picture, there are two men walking quietly, searching for things everywhere.

"These two people should have nothing to do with the USB drive," Hagiwara Kenji said in a low voice after a man put the wallet on the table into his pocket. "They are thieves."

"?" Mayu Sakugu: "Thief...?"

"Yes, they just come to steal money."

Zuogu Zhenyou survived the disaster, his face covered with cold sweat: "Then...then I won't go out, wait until they finish stealing and leave."

"No," Hagiwara Kenji stared at the woman, encouraging her with his eyes: "You need to go out. If you don't go out, then you are not at home when you should be, and you are likely to become a failure."

Zuo Gu Mayu said in a harsh voice: "But... I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you." Hagiwara Kenji winked at her, looking confident and relaxed, as if he was talking about something that was a matter of course:

"Besides, I have good observation skills. These two thieves are not very courageous. You just need to pretend to be scared and give them the money, and they will leave and won't do anything to you."

"but……"

"Miss, you were able to protect something so important to the police for so long in such a dangerous situation. You are really amazing!" Hagiwara Kenji suddenly looked at Mayu Sakugu with a look of admiration, his eyes shining:

"Even I, no, our top student in the police academy, may not be able to do it!"

Mayu Sakugu blinked blankly: "Ah..."

"You have now handed it over to me. As long as I take it back to the Metropolitan Police Department, I can use it to save millions of people! You are a hero! In the future, the media will surely compete to report your achievements!"

"...Did I really do such a great thing?" Mayu Sakugu said somewhat bewilderedly.

"Yes! It may even be greater than this! On behalf of all the police officers, thank you!" Hagiwara Kenji said solemnly, bowing.

"No, no need." Sakugu Mayu stammered.

"I'm only one step away from quietly returning to the Metropolitan Police Department—" Hagiwara Kenji placed the screen of his cell phone horizontally in front of Mayu Sakugu.

Inside, the two men walked lightly and looked around nervously from time to time.

Mayu Sakugu glanced at the screen, then looked at the police officer who was looking at her expectantly. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Hmm!"

She is the future of millions of people in Japan!

Let’s do it!
