Chapter 36: Seemingly Confused and Sad (Additional 4)

Mayu Sakugu opened the secret door of the bookshelf, walked out quietly, and then closed the door.

Then she wiped the sweat off her face, tidied her hair, and deliberately threw a book to the ground.

The sound of "bang" was neither loud nor soft, but loud enough to attract the attention of people outside.

Zuo Gu Zhenyou prayed that the two thieves would hear the sound and leave quickly, while he increased his footsteps and walked towards the door.

“Pah.”

“Pah.”

Every step she took was telling the people outside that she, the owner of the house, was about to come out.

Zuo Gu Zhenyou pricked up his ears to listen to the sounds outside, but heard nothing. No matter how slow his steps were, he had already reached the door.

She took a deep breath and opened the door.

The moonlight shone into the living room, which was empty.

Zuo Gu Mayu turned on the light, her heart beating rapidly, and looked around.

Have you left yet?

Very good!

But... isn't it a bit fast?

She instinctively felt something was wrong.

"Hey, good evening." A warm and smiling voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Zuo Gu Mayu was startled and turned his head suddenly to look!

However, I saw the door on the other side was slowly pushed open.

A figure she had seen during the day appeared there with a smile on his face.

"It's you!" Mayu Sakugu remembered that this was the student in the restaurant during the day!

"Why are you here?" She took two steps back and asked in a trembling voice.

"As for me..." Miyakawa Ling tilted his head, his handsome face showing an extremely harmless expression: "Is he here to be the flower protector?"

What?

Before Mayu Sakugu could react, she saw two figures falling to the ground behind the door that Miyagawa Rei had pushed open completely.

"them……"

"He's a thief." Miyakawa Ling kindly explained, "A scumbag who targeted single women."

"You...you...what about you? How did you get in?"

The unexpected situation made Mayu Sakugu retreat to the study. The presence of the police officer would make her feel more secure.

"What are you talking about? Aren't you the only one in this house tonight, and the two thieves?"

Miyakawa Ling picked up the two men and forced them into the study.

"..." Mayu Sakugu was almost scared to death by his words!

"You... you want money? I'll give it to you! No matter how much you want, I'll give it to you!"

Miyakawa Ling pretended not to hear them, threw the two men to the ground, and continued: "You had an argument with the thieves and were killed by them, and they were on the run when they felt guilty and committed suicide."

Zuo Guzhen's hair stood on end and his back had already retreated to the table.

She picked up the kitchen knife on the table and held it in front of her: "Don't come over here!"

Why?

What does it mean?

Is this guy going to kill her? Why? Is he here for the USB drive? But isn't he just a student?

Mayu Sakugu restrained herself from looking in the direction of the bookshelf. Her heart was pounding so hard that it almost exploded, and her hand holding the kitchen knife was shaking.

"You want to hurt me? Why? I told you, I can give you any amount of money! If you want something else, no matter what it is, you can have it too!"

Miyagawa Ling had no intention of scaring the other party any more, he just wanted to put on an act in the eyes of the organization.

He said directly: "Take out the USB drive."

USB flash drive!

He really came here to get something!

Maybe, he was the one who killed those people before...

Zuogu Zhenyou's legs trembled and he fell to the ground, almost getting cut by the kitchen knife.

Sweat broke out on her forehead. "What USB drive? I don't know!"

"Stop pretending," Miyakawa Ling looked down at the woman, "I don't have much patience today."

"But I can promise that I won't kill you if you hand over the USB drive."

Zuo Gu Zhenyou widened his eyes and some hope arose in his heart.

However, at this moment, the words of the half-long-haired police officer rang in her ears again.

——"You have handed it over to me now. As long as I take it back to the Metropolitan Police Department, I can use it to save millions of people!"

She breathed with difficulty, trembling and sobbing, "I don't know, I really... really don't know! Please! Let me go!"

Miyakawa Ling sighed in his heart, and he kicked the thief next to him. The kick was merciless and powerful, and the thief was awakened.

He jumped up instantly and looked at the scene in panic.

Miyakawa Ling pointed his gun at him and said, "Come on, if you don't want to die, just listen to me."

The thief was so scared that he almost fell to his knees: "You, you... I know!"

"Now, I have three ways to die. Choose one for your companion."

The thief looked at Miyakawa Ryo in horror.

Behind the bookshelf.

Kenji Hagiwara recognized Miyagawa Ryo's identity as soon as he spoke his first sentence.

He was a little surprised at first, but then he realized something and his expression dropped.

Komiyagawa...

The USB flash drive placed on his chest suddenly became so hot that it burned his heart.

Hagiwara Kenji stared at Miyagawa Ryo, his sense of responsibility as a police officer and his unreserved trust in his friend, which continued to struggle with each other, neither giving in.

"The first is that I'll smash you to death with a hammer."

"The second option is for me to hang you on a tree."

"The third option is to be killed by me with a kitchen knife."

"Come on, choose one."

It was nonsensical and abrupt, but no one at the scene could laugh.

Kenji Hagiwara put his hand on the switch of the secret door - he couldn't just watch someone being killed in front of him.

but……

but……

He thought about the conclusion he and four of his friends had reached when they analyzed Miyagawa Ryo's situation in the room before graduation.

Komiyagawa, due to some accident, is now lurking in an organization.

And the situation is quite bad.

During the day, whenever he wanted to talk to the other party, he was silently stopped.

Now...is Komiyagawa still under surveillance?

Will it harm him if I go out by myself?

as well as……

The organization's current mission for Komiyagawa is to obtain this USB flash drive...

How would Komiyagawa be treated if he didn't get the USB drive?

Kenji Hagiwara stretched out his hand towards the secret door and clenched it into a fist.

He doesn't know.

How to choose?

The importance of this USB flash drive is obvious. If the person who came was not Miyagawa Ryo, Hagiwara Kenji would have found a way to return the USB flash drive to the police even if he died.

But……

But……

The person who came was Miyagawa Rei, who had made an appointment with Xiao Zhenping to be police officers together.

It was Miyakawa Ryo who felt guilty and pleaded quietly in response to his concern.

"Brother Yan'er," the young man with golden eyes looked at him half jokingly and half seriously: "Although you saw through me at a glance, I became a policeman not because I wanted to be a policeman...but I want to protect other people's hearts, and there is no falsehood at all."

——It was Miyagawa Ryo who became a policeman because of someone else's wish, but when it came to saving people, he would rush to the front and the most dangerous position without hesitation.

They are not ordinary classmates, but comrades who once fought side by side and close friends who understand each other's thoughts.

Kenji Hagiwara's purple eyes flashed with a struggling emotion.

If he didn't go out, he might not be discovered. After Komiyagawa left in the evening, he could take the USB drive back to the Metropolitan Police Department.

But in that case, he was not sure whether the three people in front of him would really be killed.

What kind of punishment will Komiyagawa face?

And if he went out... no matter if he carried the USB drive with him or hid it in a secret door, it would definitely be found.

The USB disk fell into the hands of the organization...the consequences are unimaginable.

What should we do?

…

The thief was very savvy and chose to kill him with a kitchen knife.

Miyagawa Rei looked at Sakugu Mayu, and the kitchen knife in Sakugu Mayu's hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

"If you kill someone... you will definitely be caught by the police!" She struggled in vain.

Miyakawa Ling walked up to her and picked up a kitchen knife: "Watch carefully. After he dies, if you don't hand over the USB drive, you will be the next one."

Zuo Guzhen shrank back madly, her tears blurring her makeup and making her look extremely shabby.

She screamed, "I didn't take any USB stick! I don't know! Don't kill me!"

Miyakawa Ling ignored him, turned around and walked to the unconscious thief.

The young man's sickly face revealed a happy and contemptuous expression, and the curve of his mouth had a creepy effect.

Raise your hands.

fall.

Just one knife ended a life.

Blood splattered on the floor.

Kenji Hagiwara's pupils shrank. From his angle, he could see Miyagawa Rei's expression very clearly.

Kenji Hagiwara has always been very good at analyzing people's emotions, otherwise he would not have concluded that Miyagawa Ryo, who often smiles gently, has no fondness for the police profession shortly after they met.

But now...

He would rather his analysis was wrong.

Enjoyment, lack of interest, contempt and indifference.

There is no falsehood and every emotion is truly real.

His eyes gradually widened. How could this be?

How is that possible?

The Komiyagawa I saw during the day seemed normal... was he normal?

Is this really normal?

The recording brought back by Matsuda Jinpei rang in my ears again.

[“If I don’t feel a sense of participation, I will find one myself! I hope the organization will understand this sooner!”]

[“No, if it attracts the attention of the cops, just kill them too!”]

Crazy smile, unstable mental state...

Also, the lack of hesitation in taking action now...

Before Kenji Hagiwara could even react, the person had already been killed - because the Miyagawa Ryo he knew would never be like this.

Even if he was forced by the organization, he would not have such no hesitation.

The temperature in the small space was very high, but Kenji Hagiwara felt an unprecedented coldness.

The coldness made his throat dry and he couldn't even blink.

What happened? Why?

This... this is not right.

How could someone who tried so hard to protect others go to the opposite side of light and enjoy the joy that death brings?

At this moment, there was an indescribable dark aura about the young man, like a deep-sea shark, bringing a deep sense of oppression and fear.

That's no pretense.

Or in other words, can someone really pretend to be someone like this?

Miyagawa Rei, can she really pretend to be so good that Kenji Hagihara can't see any flaws in her?

“Ahhhhh!!!” Mayu Sakugu screamed and shrank under the table.

"Now, talk." Miyagawa Ryo walked towards Mayu Sakugu.

Kenji Hagiwara's expression was stiff, and his eyes showed confusion and sadness, but he reached out and pressed the switch of the secret passage.
