Chapter 18 Work Kurosawa Online Inspection
"My God, this is so cool!" Jingxia Yao exclaimed, his eyes sparkling and his mouth forming an "O" shape.
Today is the day the class flags for the sports meet are finished and delivered. The four of them gathered in Naoto Eikai's room to inspect the results.
Naoto Hideaki grasped the top two corners of the class flag with both hands, spread his arms, and displayed the flag completely in front of everyone.
The deep blue fabric is printed with images of cherry blossom petals fluttering down, symbolizing "freedom" and "police officers rushing forward one after another." A golden lightning bolt splits the square flag in two, signifying "the thunder of justice shattering the darkness." The rest is decorated with scattered lace.
"This fabric feels wonderful," Haruhiko Ichihara remarked, stroking the fabric with his fingertips.
Then, he bent down, got close to the flag, observed it carefully, and finally came to a conclusion.
"Very good!" He was very satisfied with the flag.
"I never expected Naoto to be so capable!" Kurosawa Jin praised, hands on his hips.
Upon hearing this, Naoto Hideaki felt slightly guilty, but he didn't show it on his face.
Actually, he hypnotized the person in charge of designing the class flag from the next class and ordered him to make it.
Well, it's... a bit unethical...
"Ahem, thank you," he said gratefully.
"Hahaha, then I, the flag bearer, will take over this class flag." Jingxia Yao picked up the flagpole from the wall, and the way he held it gave off a feeling of the Monkey King wielding his golden cudgel.
He neatly tied the flag to the flagpole, waved it twice, and felt very satisfied.
"I'm going to take it for a walk so the other classes can see it!"
Before he could finish speaking, Jingxia Yao rushed out of the dormitory.
Haruhiko Ichihara sighed, looking at Yo Inoshita's eagerness to display the flag, "That's too ostentatious."
"He's been like this for a long time," Kurosawa Jin said, unable to suppress a laugh.
"Hey, why aren't you guys catching up yet?" Jingxia Yao poked his head out from the door frame, calling to his companions to catch up with him.
He grinned, showing his big teeth, "Anyway, the sports meet rehearsal is this afternoon, and we'll have to show it off to others sooner or later, so we might as well go and show off now."
"Understood," Haruhiko Ichihara replied, and walked towards the door.
"Haruhiko, you understand me best."
"You go first, we'll be there soon," Kurosawa Jin said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, hurry up." With that, he grabbed Haruhiko Ichihara and they left quickly.
Only Kurosawa Jin and Hideaki Naoto remained in the room. Kurosawa Jin's upturned lips disappeared, and the atmosphere became unusually quiet.
“They’ll definitely make a move at the sports meet. What are you going to do?” Naoto Hideaki asked, his brown eyes gleaming.
About three days ago, Kurosawa Jin received news that Beika's second assassin had escaped from prison.
He had reviewed the surveillance footage of the first assassin from Mikasa escaping from prison. That night, someone drugged a prison guard and opened the cell door of the second assassin from Mikasa.
Strangely, the surveillance cameras didn't capture anyone's image, as if the person were invisible.
Or rather, he can actually become invisible.
After learning that Naoto Hideaki's brother's special ability was invisibility, Jin Kurosawa naturally realized that it was Naoto Hideaki's brother, the second assassin sent by the Alliance's second executive officer.
As for the purpose, it's obvious: to use Mika's second assassin to eliminate Kurosawa Jin.
"That foolish assassin thinks we don't know he infiltrated the construction team? He's full of holes," Kurosawa Jin sneered.
Just like the kidnapping plan of Mika's second assassin, his murder plan this time was completely exposed to Kurosawa Jin.
At the opening ceremony of this sports meet, the police academy leaders planned to emulate the Olympic Games by holding a torch lighting ceremony.
Therefore, the school hired a construction team to renovate the platform and install mechanisms.
This provided a good opportunity for Mikasa's second assassin to infiltrate the police academy.
The opening ceremony consisted of three parts. The first part was the entrance of each class carrying their flags. The next part was the speeches, in which leaders, instructors, and student representatives spoke in turn. Finally, the torch was lit.
As the student who entered first and had outstanding academic performance during his time at the school, if Kurosawa Jin is not the student representative, then who is?
Therefore, it can be inferred that Mika's second assassin will carry out his assassination mission at this time.
"I will go to the site to check it out during the rehearsal this afternoon."
Kurosawa Jin walked to the window. The azure sky was dotted with fluffy white clouds, and magpies occasionally flew across the sky.
“I know my brother; he doesn’t trust anyone.” Naoto Hideaki frowned. “He prefers to do things himself.”
"That assassin might just be one..."
"A decoy?" Kurosawa Jin said before he could. "That's a possibility."
"Hey! Jin! Naoto!" Suddenly, a loud and deafening voice came from outside the window.
Looking in the direction of the sound, downstairs in the dormitory building, an orange-haired youth was waving a dark blue flag. The bright sunlight made his hair shine, like a vanguard fighting against evil.
"Why are you so slow? Hurry up and get down—" he laughed, revealing his signature eight big teeth.
Haruhiko Ichihara stood below, his body turned to the side, a smile in his eyes.
"Understood!" Kurosawa Jin replied, then left the window.
"Who will win and who will lose is still uncertain!" His eyes turned fierce, filled with murderous intent.
——
In the afternoon, the sports meet rehearsal was briefly conducted, and after it was completed, everyone dispersed.
"Jin, aren't you going back to the dorm?" Inoshita Yao grabbed Kurosawa Jin, who was trying to walk back.
"No, Instructor Zhongdian asked me to check on the construction progress. You guys go back first." Kurosawa Jin waved his hand.
"The squad leader really has a tough job," Jingxia Yao sighed. "Alright, go ahead."
"There's no other way," Kurosawa Jin said, feigning reluctance.
He turned around and caught a glimpse of Naoto Hideaki's deep, yellowish-brown pupils out of the corner of his eye.
The podium for the sports meet faces east, with an exposed staircase on each side leading to the upper level.
The lower level of the building consists of two rooms. The southern room is narrower and contains various broadcasting equipment, serving as the place to manage the sound microphones.
The room on the north side occupies one-third of the entire lower level space. It was originally a place to store miscellaneous equipment, but in order to facilitate construction, everything inside was moved out and placed behind the stage.
Kurosawa Jin pushed open the door from the south side of the podium and entered the broadcasting room. Pushing open another door in the broadcasting room led him into what used to be the storage room.
"Squeak—" The old wooden door, which was not often opened, made a jarring sound, reminding the people inside of Kurosawa Jin's arrival.
The room was dimly lit, with only a small window and a light bulb hanging in the middle providing illumination. Dust in the air rushed into Kurosawa Jin's nostrils.
"Student, this place isn't finished yet, it's best not to come in." The voice from the neighboring class softened when they saw that it was a handsome young man.
"Hello, my boss asked me to come and check the torches that will be used in the lighting ceremony." Kurosawa Jin said with a friendly smile.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Mika, disguised as a worker, immediately looked up and saw the person he hated to the core standing against the light at the door.
After a moment, he hurriedly lowered his head and hid his face.
“Okay, the torches are here.” The student from the next class pointed to three torch-shaped plastic objects on a corner table.
These three "torches" will be distributed to leaders, instructors, and student representatives. Only when all three work together can they "light" the final "big torch".
Why plastic? Because real torches are unstable and dangerous; what if they hurt a leader?
Of course, the "giant torch" is also made of plastic.
Kurosawa Jin picked up one of the torches, looked it over from side to side, and wondered if he should shake it.
"It contains infrared rays. When the time comes, all three torches will emit infrared rays simultaneously, which can be aimed at the infrared sensor there."
The person in the next shift looked at the giant torch surrounded by a group of construction workers.
It was a cylinder with a basin on top, but it hadn't been "lit" yet, so there was no "fire" in the basin.
Setting down the torch, Kurosawa Jin approached the device with great interest.
Its highest point reaches the belly of the Kurosawa Formation, surrounded by a ring of rollers and tracks.
The tracks went straight up to the ceiling, which was marked with dimensional lines and appeared to be a circle.
Seeing Kurosawa Jin look up, the neighboring classmate very considerately explained, "A hole will be drilled out at the top so that this huge torch can be raised from here."
"How about that? Isn't it cool!" the neighboring class said proudly.
"Haha..." Kurosawa Jin could only laugh awkwardly and casually respond with a few words.
"Can I come closer and take a look?"
"Of course, be careful."
"OK."
Kurosawa Jin glanced around at the construction workers and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
The workers, seeing how enthusiastic the young man was, praised him with smiles.
"What a handsome young man!"
"He's much better looking than my son-in-law!"
"..."
"Haha, thank you."
Hiding in the corner, the second assassin of Mikasa began to panic as Kurosawa Jin slowly approached him. He pulled his hat down low and buried his head in tightening screws.
"Thank you for your hard work." Kurosawa Jin smiled strangely.
He can't recognize me! He can't recognize me! Miwa's second assassin's pupils constricted as he silently chanted to himself.
"Sir, have we met somewhere before?" the silver-haired youth asked slowly.
"No...no!" Mihua's second assassin tried to lower his voice and change his tone.
"I've never seen you before! You've got the wrong person!"
The face of Mihua's second assassin has been specially altered, but you can still tell who it is by looking closely.
"Is that so?" Kurosawa Jin pretended to suddenly remember something and changed his words, "Oh! Your voice doesn't sound like his. It seems I was mistaken."
"Excuse me!"
"N-nothing...it's alright." Mika's second assassin lowered his hat brim again, making it impossible to see his face in such a dimly lit space.
Having completed the inspection, Kurosawa Jin had no reason to stay any longer, so he patted his behind and left.
Seeing that this troublemaker had finally left, Mihua's second assassin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "That was close."
Unaware that he had already been exposed, he was basking in the satisfaction that his disguise had gone undetected.
