Chapter 14 Kurosawa's Online Memories of Going to School
"You really passed! You're in the professional group!" Matsuda Jinpei exclaimed in disbelief, shouting towards the kitchen.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Kurosawa Jin poked his head out from the kitchen.
Matsuda Jinpei was speechless, but he gave Kurosawa Jin a thumbs up.
"No wonder he's a top student from the University of Tokyo." Kenji Hagiwara sat on the carpet, playing with several kittens.
"Jinpei, I think I won the bet. A bet's a bet, but you..."
"Tch, here you go, here you go, all of it is yours..." Matsuda Jinpei glared at Hagiwara Kenji.
"Pfft—hahaha, it's rare to see Jinpei get his comeuppance." Kenji Hagiwara put down the cat toy in his hand and mocked it mercilessly.
Seeing that the second-year graduate student had stopped, Tuanzi meowed in protest: Why did you stop! Continue for me!
"Okay, okay, coming right away."
After several months of meticulous instruction from Kurosawa Jin, Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei have become proficient in understanding and caring for the cats and dogs and are able to take good care of them.
Matsuda Jinpei glared angrily at Hagiwara Kenji, then casually picked up a small ornament from the cabinet and began to examine it, completely ignoring Kenji.
A few minutes later, Kurosawa Jin came out of the kitchen carrying a plate. "Let's eat."
"Look at the Chinese dish I just learned to make today—Kung Pao Chicken." He took off his apron, gazing at the golden-yellow dishes on the table with a hint of pride.
The aroma of the food filled the air, tantalizing everyone's taste buds and making them eager to eat.
Little Gold hovered around the base of the Black Swamp, trying to get a taste.
"Woof woof woof!" I want to eat too! I want to eat too!
"No, Little Golden Retriever, you can't eat this." He put the food on the table, picked up the Golden Retriever and placed it next to the food bowl, and poured food for the other animals.
Since the kidnapping incident, Kurosawa Jin has adopted two cats, a cow cat and an orange tabby.
The black and white cat was a stray. That day, it stayed at the door of Kurosawa's house and refused to leave. In desperation, Kurosawa had no choice but to take it in.
The orange cat was abandoned by its owner at the veterinary hospital. Because of a previous promise, the hospital contacted Kurosawa, hoping he could adopt it.
After feeding them, praises rose and fell from the dining table.
"Delicious, so delicious!" Kenji Hagiwara shoved a big mouthful of rice into his mouth.
"Eat as much as you like. I might not have time to come back after I go to police academy." Kurosawa Jin walked to the chair and sat down.
"But I can promise to cook you a meal this weekend."
“It’s a deal. If you don’t come back, Kenji and I will go to the police academy, kidnap you, and carry you back.” Matsuda Jinpei’s eyes blazed with fury, as if he really wanted to try it.
"Haha, then I'll leave Little Gold and the others in your care."
Kenji Hagiwara nodded confidently and said, "Don't worry about leaving it to us."
"Speaking of police academy, do neither of you really want to be a policeman?" Kurosawa Jin asked the two of them this question for the first time, feeling uneasy.
"think!"
"In no mood!"
The two answered at the same time, but gave two different answers.
"Huh? Kenji, you want to be a policeman? Why didn't you tell me?" Matsuda Jinpei's expression changed, and he looked at Hagiwara Kenji with suspicion.
"Uh, I didn't tell you because I was afraid..." Kenji Hagiwara hesitated.
At this moment, Kurosawa Jin interjected, "Jinpei, are you really not going to give it a try? You have a real talent for mechanical assembly."
"That's right! Don't you know who I am?" Matsuda Jinpei said boastfully, raising his head after being praised.
However, Kurosawa Jin changed the subject, "By the way, is the ornament I gave you last time fixed yet?"
"Ahem... this..." The curly-haired man's expression faltered, and he awkwardly didn't know what to say.
"Almost fixed, almost fixed! I guarantee I'll give you a perfect piece of furniture."
Kurosawa Jin looked at him suspiciously, and Matsuda Jinpei, seeing that he couldn't evade the question, quickly changed the subject.
"Where were we? Police, yes, I will never be a policeman!" He slammed his hand on the table, expressing his determination.
"Jinpei, you should think of it this way: when you become a policeman, you can beat up the Superintendent General of Police. Haven't you always wanted to beat him up?"
Upon hearing this, Matsuda Jinpei was taken aback. "It seems so..."
"No way, you actually believe me?" Kenji Hagiwara said jokingly, not expecting his childhood friend to actually start considering the feasibility of this method.
This made him burst into laughter, "Hahaha—"
"Hey, second-year student, what are you laughing at?" Matsuda Jinpei looked at him speechlessly.
"Hahahaha!" As if infected by the laughter, Kurosawa Jin couldn't help but laugh as well.
The room was instantly filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, and the pleasant atmosphere lifted everyone's spirits.
Having eaten and drunk its fill, Tuanzi gracefully hopped onto the windowsill. It looked up at the sky, its eyes wide, staring at the full moon outside the window.
The jade disc on the black screen was particularly dazzling, and the window frame, like a picture frame, forcefully captured the beautiful night view.
The night, the cat, the moon, and the tall buildings create a tranquil picture.
Looking through the window, the three people at the dining table were enjoying themselves. The young man with medium-length black hair seemed to say something, and the curly-haired young man suddenly jumped up and punched the other man on the head.
Peaceful and serene...
"Ah ha~ What a heartwarming scene!" On the rooftop of the building opposite Mihua Apartment, there was a man dressed in a black cloak, completely covered up.
Looking from his perspective, one can see the entire view of Room 301.
With a wave of his hand, a transparent panel appeared in mid-air, clearly not belonging to this world.
“Number One, I think I’ve found the target we need to eliminate.” He shook his head slightly, a tuft of chestnut hair peeking out from under his hood.
He raised his hand, and a blue-glowing pistol appeared in his hand. He pointed the muzzle at Kurosawa Jin's head.
"Hahaha, I'll kill him right now." His voice was like a venomous snake crawling on the ground, chilling to the bone.
"Number Two, there are still characters from the original work here. If you make a move, I won't be cleaning up your mess!" A cold warning came from the transparent panel.
"Tsk, boring."
Just as Number Two was about to put down his pistol, a bullet grazed his arm, leaving a bloody mark.
"who!"
He crouched down and cautiously scanned his surroundings.
Following the trajectory of the bullet, Number Two turned his gaze to a building in the distance.
A figure, no less dark than him, stood there silently warning him.
The black figure seemed to have something hanging from its waist, which reflected a ghostly blue light under the moonlight.
"There's actually outside help!" His voice was no longer as confident as before, but filled with astonishment.
If you could see his eyes, Number Two would definitely be experiencing a pupillary earthquake at this moment.
"It's him!" Number One recognized the person who fired the shot.
"Number Two, get out of here quickly," Number One's voice warned. "If you don't leave now, he might really kill you."
Number Two clicked his tongue in extreme resentment. He turned around and launched himself into the air, leaping hundreds of meters in a single bound, comparable to a superhero who had awakened superpowers.
"You ran so fast!" Tanaka Hitomi said, putting down his gun.
——
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for Kurosawa Jin to go to the police academy for training.
In order to seize the last opportunity to boost his rating, he specially invited his childhood friends Kenji Hagiwara and Rei Furuya to a big meal.
Finally, the approval ratings of all four people were raised to 50 points.
After doing all this, Kurosawa Jin, satisfied, pulled his luggage and headed to the police academy.
The doorknob turned, and Kurosawa Jin walked in, past the dormitory room with his name on the outside.
A simple bed sits on the west side, along with a desk, wardrobe... It's small but complete.
As a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, Kurosawa Jin must be familiar with the police academy, as he himself graduated from there.
He placed his suitcase beside the bed, then relaxed completely and lay down on the bed.
The pure white ceiling came into view of Kurosawa Jin.
In this alternate world, Kurosawa Jin once again steps onto the police academy campus, which evokes a flood of thoughts and emotions within him.
With the ceiling as a screen, countless scenes of memories appeared before him like a movie.
In her memory, at her graduation ceremony in her previous life, he was wearing a police uniform, sitting upright in a chair, handsome and charming, instantly captivating any uniform enthusiast.
"Hey, Jin, are you really going to the police station?"
At the same time, Inoshita Yo cautiously approached Kurosawa Jin, saying, "I've heard that the Public Security Bureau has a very bad reputation!"
His eyes are large, and paired with his light orange hair, he gives off the feeling of a vibrant little sun.
Kurosawa Jin grunted in response, without turning to look at him.
"Aren't you going to become a police officer too?" he countered.
"The Public Security Division of the Metropolitan Police Department is different from the Public Security Division of the Police Department you are going to."
"They're all the same, they're all police officers," Kurosawa Jin said with an unquestionable tone.
“Fine, you can say that.” Inoshita Yao had nothing to say and turned to look at Ichihara Haruhiko, who was sitting to his left.
"Haruhiko, you still haven't told us where you're going?"
“Second Investigation Division, I studied finance, that’s the best place for me.” Haruhiko Ichihara pushed up his glasses.
This person is tall and thin, and wears glasses. He looks like a highly educated person, and even sitting there, he gives off a faint sense of being a corporate slave.
"Hey, you know what, it actually suits you quite well!" Jingxia Yao's eyes widened, sparkling with excitement.
The Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division is the department where Ginzo Nakamori, the father-in-law of Kaito Kid, works in the world of Detective Conan.
It is primarily responsible for cases involving fraud, embezzlement, and corporate crime.
"Haha, then let's work together to make the world a better place!" Jingxia Yao seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, bursting out with a burst of energy.
Young people are full of passion and vigor, looking forward to a bright future.
Unafraid of difficulties, undaunted by death...
He wrapped his arms around the necks of Haruhiko Ichihara and Jin Kurosawa, one on each side.
His voice was so loud that it successfully attracted the attention of the students around him.
"Hey, let me go!"
"open!"
After that day, Kurosawa Jin joined the Public Security Bureau and successfully infiltrated the organization. He worked his way up to a high position over several years.
He always believed that of the three of them, he was the closest to death.
Kurosawa Jin was the most likely to be sacrificed first, but the truth is...
Jingxia Yao...
