Chapter 26 Hot Pot Kurosawa Graduates Online
"Ah~ Jin~" Inoshita Yao jumped up and waved to Kurosawa Jin, looking like an orange-furred rabbit from a distance.
"Come and see the photos Xiao Zhiren took of you."
"Here they come!" Kurosawa Jin looked at Inoshita Yao with a warm smile.
He walked slowly from the police academy auditorium in his police uniform, his handsome face attracting frequent glances from passersby.
Today is the graduation day for this year's police academy students. As usual, Kurosawa Jin gave a speech at the graduation ceremony. While he was on stage, Hideaki Naoto probably took a lot of photos of him again.
The chestnut-haired youth was holding a camera, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Ah Jin, is there something wrong with that senior?" Haruhiko Ichihara asked with concern, glancing at the burly man in the distance.
"He's trying to poach my talent," Kurosawa Jin said without hiding anything. "However, I turned him down."
Since their parting at the police station that day, Kuroda Hyoue had not received any news from Kurosawa Jin. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he deliberately waited for Kurosawa Jin at the entrance of the police academy's auditorium.
As a result, Kurosawa Jin refused outright, citing that he had already promised Odagiri-senpai to investigate the First Division.
Kurosawa Jin remembers that Kuroda Hei's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot after hearing those words.
"Why not agree to his offer? If I'm not mistaken, he must have offered you some good terms." Haruhiko Ichihara calmly adjusted his glasses.
After a long silence, Kurosawa Jin stared at Ichihara Haruhiko with his green eyes and said, "Since you all went to the Metropolitan Police Department, of course I'll go with you."
This time, persuaded by Kurosawa Jin and Ichihara Haruhiko, Inoshita Yo did not go to the Public Security Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, but instead chose to join the First Investigation Division with Kurosawa Jin, while Ichihara Haruhiko went to the Second Investigation Division.
As for why Kurosawa Jin chose the First Investigation Division, it's simply because it's convenient to farm points there. After the first year of Detective Conan, it's no exaggeration to say that he can meet Conan every day.
"Jin! Haruhiko! You two come and look at this picture. Jin looks so handsome in this photo. Even I, a guy, am smitten." Inoshita Yō called out to the two who were talking.
"What are you thinking, you're a guy!" Kurosawa Jin raised his hand and flicked Inoshita Yao on the back of the head.
"Hiss—just kidding, just kidding, Jin, you have such a strong hand, why don't you hit me gently!" Inoshita Yao covered his head and gasped.
"Well done, you deserved it." Haruhiko Ichihara gave Jin Kurosawa a thumbs-up in strong agreement.
“Haruhiko! You…” Inoshita Yo was about to cause a scene, but was interrupted by Hideaki Naoto while casting the spell.
Naoto Eiji remained as cold and detached as ever, saying, "Don't make a fuss, and don't forget we still need to take pictures!"
"Oh, taking pictures, I almost forgot." Without saying a word, Inoshita Yo took the camera from Hideaki Naoto's hand.
The end of police academy life signifies the beginning of a new life. Taking a group photo in these final moments is the best way to commemorate the time spent at police academy.
Against the backdrop of the seven large characters "Metropolitan Police Department Police Academy" carved in stone, four dashing and handsome young men stand with different expressions, waiting for the camera to take a delayed photograph.
Inoshita Yo stood with one hand on his hip and the other raised in a V-sign, revealing a row of perfectly white teeth; Ichihara Haruhiko stood with his hands on the seams of his trousers, his back ramrod straight, a faint smile playing on his lips; Hideaki Naoto stood with his hands in his pockets, expressionless, but his eyes betrayed his undisguised joy.
The azure sky was devoid of any white clouds, and the sun was somewhat dazzling. Kurosawa Jin squinted as a crow suddenly flew into his field of vision.
Its entire body is covered in black feathers that shimmer with a purple sheen. It has a long, straight black beak that makes a hoarse "cawing" sound. Its claws are strong, allowing it to grip the tree trunk and stay there.
Crows? What a symbolic animal! In the shadows of this world lurks a flock of wicked crows.
"Click!" The shutter clicked softly, interrupting Kurosawa Jin's thoughts.
All the beauty was frozen in this moment...

"Mmm! Haruhiko, this beef roll is delicious!" Inoshita Yao's eyes lit up as he looked at the beef on his chopsticks.
"Eat more if you like it." Kurosawa Jin picked up a few slices of beef with his chopsticks and put them into Inoshita Yo's bowl.
After the graduation ceremony, as previously agreed, the group went to a hot pot restaurant recommended by Jingxia Yao for a meal.
"It's really good, but the flavor is still a little lacking." Haruhiko Ichihara savored the texture of the beef.
He ate very politely, unlike the boorish eating habits of Jingxia Yao.
“It was almost,” Naoto Eikai echoed, then fell silent again.
"If you ask me, if Ah Jin had made this, it would taste a hundred times better than it does now," Jingxia Yao declared loudly, raising his chopsticks.
After spending several months together, Kurosawa Jin's cooking skills became evident to all; everyone who had tried his food praised it.
"Next time, you guys bring your ingredients and I'll cook for you." Kurosawa Jin smiled and looked at Inoshita Yao across the table through the steam from the hot pot. "We can also invite Hagiwara and the others then, it'll be more lively."
"Wait a minute, I still need to buy the ingredients myself!" Jingxia Yao said, indicating that he only wanted to talk.
Haruhiko Ichihara put down his chopsticks and punched Akira Inoshita on the head, mocking, "All you think about is freeloading!"
"Ouch!" Jingxia Yao cried out in pain, complaining, "No, why do you guys keep hitting my head? It's making me stupid."
“You weren’t exactly that smart to begin with,” Haruhiko Ichihara retorted.
"you!"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing!" Kurosawa Jin acted as peacemaker again. "Eat your food properly, Yao. If you keep talking, the beef will be eaten up."
"What!"
While focused on eating, Yinghai Zhiren quietly accomplished something important, almost finishing off the entire beef.
"Hey, Naoto! Leave some for me!!!"
Hot pot is always the best choice for gatherings, and the four of us ate with great enthusiasm.
"Drip-drizzle-drizzle-drizzle-"
"Whose phone is ringing?" Inoshita Yo looked around and, seeing Kurosawa Jin take out his phone, asked curiously, "Who called?"
It was an unfamiliar number. Kurosawa Jin frowned and said, "I don't recognize it."
As he was thinking, he reached for the hang-up button, but just as he was about to hang up, the call on his phone was automatically connected.
Kurosawa Jin's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.
"What's wrong?" Haruhiko Ichihara asked, noticing Jin Kurosawa's stiff expression.
"It's nothing, I'm going out to take a call." Kurosawa fled the private room and found a secluded corner.
As soon as he put the phone to his ear, a clearly distorted voice entered Kurosawa Jin's ears.
"Young Master Kurosawa! Hello~ I'm Baileys~~~~~" The voice on the other end could twist and turn more than a dozen times, making people shiver.
Upon hearing the name of the sake, Kurosawa Jin's aura turned cold, and he instantly became extremely vigilant.
Baileys spoke to herself, “You may not know me yet. Let me introduce myself. I am the one who killed Maemura Yusaburo.”
"I was the one who helped Mika's second-in-command kidnap you, and who hacked into the police system to delete surveillance footage..."
Actually, even if you didn't tell me, I would still know. Kurosawa Jin thought to himself.
Following those cases, Kurosawa Jin dispatched Tanaka Hitomi to conduct a covert investigation, and they had already investigated Baileys.
Based on the intelligence currently available, Baileys is a top hacker at the brewery, belonging to the technical department, and has attacked the Pentagon's network system, causing it to be paralyzed for a whole day.
"What is your purpose?" Kurosawa Jin looked up and met the surveillance camera that had somehow moved to him.
"Hahaha—" Baileys, sitting in front of the computer, stared greedily at Kurosawa Jin, who was looking at her through the monitor, and laughed abnormally.
Kurosawa Jin: Do you have some serious illness?
He took the phone away from his ear; Bailey's laughter was really bothering him.
Hey! Spit it out!
"Ahem, what I need to tell you is that you look a lot like Lord Gin, no, you could say you look exactly the same," Baileys finally got to the point, her voice hoarse.
Kurosawa Jin: Nonsense! He and I are identical, of course we look alike!
"You might not know who Lord Gin is, so let me tell you, he's the most perfect man in the world! You should feel honored to have a face like his!"
Kurosawa Jin wanted to curse...
"If Lord Gin finds out about your existence, he might kill you, or he might imprison you..." Baileys paused, then suddenly raised her voice.
"It's me, it's me! I've been hiding the truth from the organization, and I'm the one who saved you!"
Kurosawa Jin: Well, thank you so much! (Rolls eyes.jpg)
After all that, Baileys still hadn't heard any movement from Kurosawa Jin, and assumed that the other party had been intimidated. In reality, in Kurosawa Jin's eyes, Baileys was the clown.
"Ha, you call just to say this? Are the people in your organization all that free?"
Kurosawa Jin's words were like poison, and he warned back, "I'm not one to be trifled with! I advise you to stop doing those sneaky things, like a rat in a sewer."
No matter how much Kurosawa Jin scolded her, Baileys remained unmoved, thinking he was just putting on a brave face.
"Kurosawa Jin, how about we make a deal?" Baileys said mysteriously, "After you join the Metropolitan Police Department, you'll be assigned a huge case..."
"Beep beep beep—" Kurosawa Jin was too lazy to talk to a lunatic, so he pressed the button and hung up the phone.
"Heh! Interesting, very interesting! Kurosawa Jin, I will definitely have you!"
Kurosawa Jin's indifference only fueled Bailey's twisted psychology.
He opened a dialog box on his computer and typed in text.
[Baileys: Everything's going according to plan. I'm going to make Kurosawa Jin suffer!]
[Phantom: Severed arms and legs?]
[Baileys: Sure, as long as his face is intact, and it's easy to control if he gets wrecked.]
[Phantom: You're disgusting.]
[Baileys: Ha, just tell me if you can do it or not?]
[Phantom: Of course, no problem!]
After doing all that, he continued to spy on Kurosawa Jin and his three companions in the private room of the hot pot restaurant, his eyes gleaming with smugness.
"I've failed so many times, this time I'm determined to have you!"
