Chapter 73 But he is dead!

Miyagawa Ryo already knew that Morobushi Kagemitsu was not in the Police Department's Zero Division.

However, Morobushi Jingguang must have gone undercover; it is impossible for him to suddenly give up being a policeman.

Miyagawa Rei asked his superiors to investigate, but the information was not shared between different departments, so Miyagawa Rei could only make a guess: Morobushi Kagemitsu was also in the latent period of the same experience.

As for the specific situation, there is no way to know.

There was no point in him worrying, because this world was small enough that he could meet Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda by completing a mission, but it was also big enough that he hadn't seen Shuichi Akai who was looking for him for twelve years.

I can only hope that Jingguang can save himself again and again in times of danger.

In fact, Miyagawa Ling was equally worried about the pair of childhood sweethearts.

Worrying about Fūya Rei is more of a personal emotion.

But Morofushi Kagemitsu... is his character.

Miyagawa Ryo has gradually understood and accepted the fact that Furuya Rei jumped into the river to save a stranger, and if he were in the same situation now, he would do the same.

But as for Sumire Kagemitsu's act of saving his enemy... I'm afraid Miyagawa Ryo will never be able to do it in his lifetime.

If the person who shot Akai Shuichi back then was standing in front of him now... Miyagawa Ryo couldn't guarantee what he would do.

Someone like Jingguang, who is willing to save even his enemies...can he really have the heart to kill someone?

Being an undercover investigator is a profession that requires you to get dirty if you want to protect Sakura.

They hold swords in their hands for redemption.

But no matter what, the sharp blade was finally swung, and life disappeared in their hands, carrying resentment and pain.

"Oh, by the way! Mr. Miyagawa! One more thing!"

Mayumi Akira, who was about to leave, suddenly thought of something and turned back to say.

"Please go ahead."

…

On a weekend without sunshine, even though the streets are bustling with people, they don’t seem as lively as before.

"It's getting colder."

"yes."

Takajo Chika retracted her gaze from the sky and turned to look at Umei Yuki: "Xiaoxue, is the wound on your face okay?"

Mei Jingxue was in a good mood and smiled: "It doesn't matter at all!"

There was a long scratch at the corner of her mouth.

Takajo Chikako asked cautiously: "Xiaoxue, the wound on your face, is it from that night..."

Mei Jingxue quickly shook her head: "It has nothing to do with that night..."

Although, that Sekizawa Kazuki did give her a scare.

"But..." She paused and said, "Actually, I was injured before that night, and the cold was just an excuse."

Takajo Chika was stunned.

So...is that so?

But……

"Since you hid it from everyone that night, why don't you continue to wear a mask now?"

Mei Jingxue smiled and said, "Because later I thought, even if my face was injured, it's nothing to be ashamed of!"

Takajo Chikako was stunned.

She looked at her good friend in front of her. Her appearance had been praised by countless people, and many people even came to the hotel because of her.

But...she doesn't mind being seen by others with her disfigured face?

Chika Takajo suddenly felt like crying, she turned her back so that Umei Yuki wouldn't see her expression.

Umei Yuki didn't notice it either, because she was relieved that Takajo Chika didn't ask any further questions.

The wound on her face...was caused by accident when she was using tools to break down the fence...

That night, she wore a mask because she was afraid that Nakagami Akita would notice something unusual.

Now that the plan has been abandoned, it doesn't matter anymore!

"Welcome."

The shop door was pushed open and someone walked in.

Another waiter went to receive the guests, so Takajo Chikako and Umei Yuki just stood there chatting without moving.

The man who came in was wearing a peaked cap and was dressed casually. He was a handsome man with great temperament.

Takajo Chikako bent her knees unconsciously. She looked at the other person with a smile on her face, but her mind was on talking to Umei Yuki: "Xiaoxue, have you been to the hospital for your injury? What did the doctor say?"

Mei Jingxue said happily: "Don't worry about me! I've already checked it out, it's nothing serious!"

"Sir, are you alone? Please follow me." said the waiter on the other end.

The visitor shook his head and pointed in the direction: "I can just sit over there."

The direction he pointed was next to Umei Yuki and Takajo Chika.

The two of them could have chosen not to go to receive the guests, but now that they had come over, they naturally had to show their appreciation.

Umei Yuki helped pull out the chairs, and Takajo Chika handed over the menu: "What would you like to eat?"

The visitor sat down, without raising his head, and ordered a few dishes at random.

"OK."

The two left with the menus.

"Is she a foreigner? She has dark skin, which is rare," said Chikako Takajo.

Umei Xue shook her head: "I don't know, but he speaks Japanese pretty well."

Takajo Chika nodded: "But that position allows me to see every customer who comes into the store clearly, but I won't be noticed by the customers... If he sits there, I can't stay there."

After hearing this, Mei Jingxue was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing: "Qianxiang, with your height, you are obviously the most conspicuous person under the spotlight, why do you want to hide yourself?"

She pointed at the celebrity poster on her phone screen and said, "You don't need to work hard, you've already attracted a lot of attention!"

Takajo Chikako pursed her lips, smiled, and said nothing.

She glanced at her friend's injured face and clenched her fingers a little tighter.

…

Fūya Rei pressed down the brim of his hat.

"Please enjoy your meal." A waiter with a sweet smile brought the dishes to the table.

"Thanks," he said.

"You're welcome. Just call me if you need anything." The waiter walked away.

Furiya Rei started eating leisurely, his eyes fixed on the store door.

At a certain moment, his hand stopped in mid-air.

…

"Welcome."

Four people walked in.

Mei Jingxue smiled and raised her head, then her eyes widened instantly: "You..."

"Ms. Umei, what's wrong?" Mouri Ran asked curiously, and Suzuki Sonoko poked her head out from behind her.

"I..." Mei Jingxue covered the scars on her face, her voice trembling.

"?" Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko looked at her blankly.

Kudo Shinichi turned slightly and looked at the boy behind him.

Guan Zehexi tilted his head with a puzzled look.

“……” Mei Jingxue swallowed her saliva.

Wasn’t Nakagami Akita arrested by the police?

Why is Kazuki Sekizawa here again?

"Ms. Umei, what happened to Kazuki?" asked Kudo Shinichi.

"No, nothing." Mei Jingxue took two steps back and smiled stiffly: "Come in."

Kudo Shinichi was a little suspicious. It was obvious that something had happened.

After everyone sat down, Kudo Shinichi found an excuse to leave and met Umei Yuki alone.

"Shinichi..." Mei Jingxue was speechless. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and organized her words: "Sekizawa Kazuhiro... he is a good boy... but..."

"but?"

But he is dead!

Mei Jingxue didn't dare to really say this, she finally managed to say: "Stay away from him from now on! The farther the better!"

"Will you be in danger because you're close to him?" The boy's eyes fell on the wound at the corner of her mouth.

"Yes!" Mei Jingxue answered immediately.

After listening to this, the boy left thoughtfully.

Umei Xue stood there, feeling a little weird, but it was true that if she got close to Sekizawa Kazuki, she would be in danger!

But Shinichi’s understanding...seems a little different?

No matter what, in terms of the results, there is no difference!

Here, Kudo Shinichi returned to his seat and asked the same question to Sekizawa Kazuki.

"Is there any misunderstanding? Hasn't your relationship improved?" asked Suzuki Sonoko.

After a moment's thought, Kazuki Sekizawa replied, "The last time I came here, the hotel suddenly lost power for a few seconds."

"And then?"

"And then... Miss Takajo's phone got disconnected."

"Ah? What else?"

"The day after her last visit, Ms. Umei caught a cold and wore a mask."

"Well," Mao Lilan comforted, "this has nothing to do with you, right? It's just a coincidence at best."

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly thought of something: "Last week, when Nozomi and I came together, it seemed that a waiter accidentally spilled soup on Ms. Umei."

“……” It was nothing at first, but when all these things were added together, it suddenly became subtle.

The three of them looked at Sekizawa Kazuki at the same time, and Kudo Shinichi's gaze was particularly subtle.

Guan Zehexi was still saying foolishly: "The waiters in this hotel are all a bit unlucky."

“……”Three people.

"Yes! It's bad luck! It has nothing to do with you!" Suzuki Sonoko said affirmatively.

Although there are a lot of coincidences, this must be because Beihu Hotel has had bad luck recently!

How could it be related to Hexi!

She has been playing with him for so many days, and she has never met any bad luck...

"Get down in the corner! Otherwise, I'll shoot you to death!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout from not far away, followed by loud gunshots.

"..."Suzuki Sonoko.

"It's a coincidence," she said firmly.

"Bang!" The bullet shattered the decorative chandelier in the center of the ceiling, and screams began to ring out in the restaurant.

"Just do as they say first." Kudo Shinichi said urgently.

The four of them mixed into the crowd and squatted in a corner with their heads in their hands.

It was a little early today, so there weren't many people in the restaurant, only about ten at a glance.

The gangsters who rushed in were wearing hoods, leaving only their eyes exposed. They had guns in their hands and would threaten anyone who moved slowly.

"There were only a few waiters inside, and they all rushed out." The other two gangsters walked out.

Kudo Shinichi secretly observed them.

There were three of them, all with their faces covered and carrying guns.

He seemed to be quite familiar with the hotel's structure and came well prepared.

"Now, hand over your cell phones! If you dare to do anything tricky, I will shoot you to death!" The man who spoke was tall and thin, and his tone was very aggressive and emotional.

The other one, who was a little fatter, ran over and locked the door.

The last person remained standing far away, pointing his gun at everyone and watching them.

The customers squatting in front all handed over their phones obediently.

Kudo Shinichi, who was behind him, put his hand into his pocket, but within two seconds he took it out, the tall and thin criminal pointed the gun at him: "What are you doing?"

Kudo Shinichi quickly took out his cell phone: "I didn't do anything."

The criminal snatched it away, took a look, and when he saw that it was not on the dialing page, he sneered and put it in his bag.

"Hurry up!"

The criminal was tall and strong, and he was carrying a gun. In addition, there were few people in the store, so any movement would be obvious. Therefore, no one else dared to move, and everyone handed over their phones.

"Go and have a look." said the tall and thin gangster.

The gangster who had just closed the door took out an instrument and scanned everyone.

"All handed in." After scanning, he put away the instrument.

This series of actions was very quick and smooth, which made Kudo Shinichi more certain that they were well prepared.

only……

The detective's eyes were shining as he rushed towards a restaurant. What was his purpose?

As for money, either a bank or a jewelry store is a better choice.

Moreover, the guest just now was wearing very expensive jewelry, but neither of them even glanced at it.

It's not about money...it's about something?

But they were not in a hurry to look for it.

So... it was directed at someone?

But who were they targeting?

"You, come out." A gun was suddenly pointed at Kudo Shinichi.

His pupils shrank. Coming towards him?

Ran Mao Li beside him grabbed his arm tightly.

Kudo Shinichi's heartbeat soared, and he signaled to Mao Li Ran to let him go. The criminal's emotions were unstable and he couldn't be provoked, otherwise he would really dare to shoot and kill people.

Damn it...the last person was standing too far away. Even if I wanted to deal with them all at once, it would be impossible.

Mao Lilan let go, and just as Kudo Shinichi was about to stand up, a figure walked out from beside him.

He looked up in surprise and saw the pale profiles of Guan Ze and Xi.

Kazuki?!

"No..." Kudo Shinichi was about to say something, but the gangster who had pointed the gun at him just now had already moved the gun away and pointed it at Sekizawa Kazuki instead.

The criminal was not angry, which means that he was calling out to Sekizawa Kazuki just now.
