Thinking of what Yue Yuanqing said before...

Kenji Hagiwara closed his eyes and clenched his fists. He clenched his teeth, feeling annoyed at his ignorance. After all, his good friend Toki might have been subjected to a very dangerous and cruel experiment.

When Uncle Matsuda found Tokiwa Hiiragi, he was in a very bad condition. At that time, the adults thought that he had been abused by his parents, so Uncle Matsuda tried his best to adopt this child.

Tokiwa Hiiragi did not raise any objection to this speculation, he just admitted it. Therefore, for such a long time, everyone believed that Tokiwa Hiiragi had been abused by his parents in the past.

But what if it wasn’t abuse?

Kenji Hagiwara almost felt suffocated by such thoughts.

What if... Toki's weakness, his unfamiliarity with outside technology, and his fear of water all stem from the organization's experiments on him...?

This makes total sense, even more so than simply being abused by a parent.

What's more, Tokiwa Hiiragi can read minds.

Yes, it is the ability to read minds that goes beyond all research in real science and can almost be explained by superpowers.

This is the conclusion that Kenji Hagiwara came to after a long time of observation, and it is also the unanimous conclusion of everyone who is familiar with him.

Tokiwa Hiiragi himself never said so, but his behavior completely fits this speculation.

If one could simply judge what another person is thinking through their micro-expressions, this would certainly be possible. For example, Kenji Hagiwara is an expert in this area.

However, even he couldn't be as accurate as Tokiwa Shuu. Many times, even though he thought he had hidden his thoughts well, Tokiwa Shuu could still tell them out without any distinction.

Please, he is a master of expression management, it is definitely not that easy to see through him!

And the most strange thing is that although Shi Ting Shu can accurately point out what everyone is thinking, his emotional intelligence is not high.

If I had to say, it would be more like he had never trained himself to read people's expressions.

If he has been able to read other people's minds directly since he was a child, it makes perfect sense that he doesn't read people's expressions and often accidentally hits other people's pain points!

When he was a child, he had never seen and could not imagine that there were people in this world who could enhance some kind of... something that could be called "psychic ability" like in novels through human experiments. Otherwise, he would have been able to discover the clues at that time!

Was Shi Tingshu's hasty departure also related to the fact that he had undergone human experiments?

Yue Yuanqing’s departure…what does it have to do with all this?

Kenji Hagiwara remembered the explanation given by Hiiragi Tokiwa at that time. The chestnut-haired boy looked hesitant and gave a reason of "finding a friend of his parents"...

Therefore, these two guys, Tokiwa Hiiragi and Tsukizono Kiyoshi, had 100% colluded with each other in their statements at that time!

Kenji Hagiwara was almost laughing out of anger, but his anger soon turned into concern for his old friend.

The young man with semi-long hair was thinking with uncertain eyes, tapping the table in front of him with his fingers.

A moment later he sent a message to Jinpei Matsuda.

Kenji Hagiwara: Jinpei-kun, does Uncle Jotaro still remember where he found Toki-chan?

Jinpei Matsuda responded almost instantly.

Jinpei Matsuda:?

The curly-haired young man sat in the office, next to a colleague who was furiously writing a work report. He himself was also asked to write a 30,000-word report and self-criticism for his self-willed behavior at the amusement park.

The incandescent light was bright, and he relaxed completely for a rare moment. His eyes paused for a moment on the number that belonged to Kenji Hagiwara but was not very familiar to him.

...I'm still not used to Hagi using his new number. He thought casually, but it's better not to give him the old number back. It's also good to use it as a reminder.

Otherwise, that guy would feel guilty when he saw that I sent him so many messages.

He made a similar movement to Hagiwara Kenji, his right index finger unconsciously and silently tapping the desk in front of him.

He knew Hagi very well. The tone of the text message seemed normal, but he was sure that the guy must have got some clues about Toki.

Jinpei Matsuda pondered for a moment, but still made his request.

Jinpei Matsuda: I will ask, but you have to take me with you in your investigation.

Kenji Hagiwara probably didn't want to involve another childhood friend of his—and one who had nothing to do with the organization—in this matter. He didn't respond for a moment.

The curly-haired police officer knew at a glance that You Xunran was racking his brains to think of how to reject him. He scratched his hair in annoyance and explained it directly to the other party.

Jinpei Matsuda: Don’t think of refusing. I have some other clues. Let’s share them.

When Jinpei Matsuda said he had information he was certainly not exaggerating, he really had found some clues.

The matter concerning the bomber from four years ago has come to an end in the past two days, and Matsuda Jinpei has time to study the mechanical device that he had asked Yue Yuan Qing for before.

In order to avoid being unable to put it back together, he took three views before disassembling it. With the most serious attitude, Jinpei Matsuda took notes every time he removed a part. Soon, a slightly rough sketch that only Jinpei Matsuda and his close friends Kenji Hagiwara, Kiyoshi Tsukizono, and Hiiragi Tokiwa were able to understand was completed.

Living up to his status as the ace of the blasting team and a dismantling elite, within ten minutes, he had dismantled the originally intact mecha into nothing but a pile of spare parts.

Jinpei Matsuda frowned.

He knew very well that it was impossible for his two friends to complete such a mecha work, and there must be someone else helping him. And the style of that helper gave him a very familiar feeling.

This style reminded him of a person, a pen pal of his childhood friend, Dr. Agasa who lived in Beika Town.

Since Yue Yuanqing and Shi Ting Shu left, he has never contacted that uncle again. I don't know if I can find him by following the address from that year.

But it is obvious that he is not the only one who helped. Dr. Agasa's small inventions generally have obvious characteristics, one of which is that his inventions are relatively "gentle".

In other words, he likes to incorporate his inventions into small items that can be found everywhere in life. Sneakers, watches, glasses... are all items he often uses.

At the same time, most of Dr. Agasa's inventions have a cute feel, and therefore he sometimes creates works that "look advanced but are of little use."

His inventions were not as... "sharp" as the mecha in front of him.

After all, this mecha is silver-white all over, which is very different from the small items we come into contact with in daily life.

not to mention……

Jinpei Matsuda weighed the small parts he had disassembled in his hand.

Some parts are used to spray colored mist; another part can perform optical interference to hide the body.

He thoughtfully eliminated countless suspicious candidates in his mind, and finally got a role that needed to use these functions and had used similar functions before.

A person who disappeared five years ago.

——Kaito Kidd.

Jinpei Matsuda casually tore off a piece of paper and wrote all of this down on it.

He was sure that he could find something deeper by following this line.

Oh, by the way, he also has to investigate the Chenxi Pharmaceutical that he found before.

After recording all this, Jinpei Matsuda rubbed his brows and finally got back to work.

At this moment, he turned out the paper again and added a line of words at the bottom:

The place where toki was found.

He saw his phone light up and Kenji Hagiwara replied.

Kenji Hagiwara: Sure. Let's meet at 8 o'clock tonight at Beikacho Park.

Matsuda Jinpei laughed. Even through the screen, he could feel the inner struggle of Kenji Hagiwara when he said this, and even his usual JK tone was useless.

Jinpei Matsuda: That’s settled then.

Kenji Hagiwara: Oh ww, Jinpei-kun is really putting me in a very difficult position!

Jinpei Matsuda: The person who was killed in front of me while using his cell phone has no right to speak.

As the saying goes, if you hurt the enemy by one thousand, you will hurt yourself by eight hundred.

Kenji Hagiwara was indeed deeply hurt by these words. With his strong empathy, he immediately thought of how he had caused his own child, Kenran, to become his deathbed contact person, and how the child would walk alone carrying his hatred and pain that he should not have to endure.

However, after Matsuda Jinpei said this, he felt like he was stabbed with a knife, and his heart was in pain. This sentence instantly reminded him of the experience of watching his young son Kunran die four years ago.

The curly-haired officer rubbed his temple and quickly changed the subject.

Matsuda Jinpei: So what's the situation with Toki? What did you find out? Can you tell me in advance?

Kenji Hagiwara was still in a trance. He at least remembered that things related to the organization were not convenient to talk about directly in text messages, so he replied vaguely.

Kenji Hagiwara: What he went through was much more horrible than what I went through. It can be said that the fact that he is still alive is a miracle that has shocked many people. I can't tell you about the rest. We will discuss it in detail when we meet.

Matsuda Jinpei: …

Jinpei Matsuda: ???

His heart immediately began to tighten, and he just hoped to get to eight o'clock in the evening as soon as possible so that he could find out what had happened to his childhood friend.

He recalled the state of Tokiwa Hiiragi when he met her before. He had good observation skills, and although his grasp of human psychology was not as good as Hagiwara Kenji, he still had no problem grasping many details.

When Tsukionori Shuji didn't remember him, she clearly had an impression of him, and could even say her own name, 'Tsukionori'. However, when it came to Tsukionori Kiyoshi, she had no impression of him at all.

It was as if - only the memories related to Yueyuan Qing were completely erased.

After all, Shi Ting Shu has a clear understanding of common sense about the outside world, so it is impossible for him to have completely lost his memory.

Moreover, a murder had occurred there at that time. If a person who only remembered common sense saw it, he would definitely look frightened.

When he was a child, Shi Ting Shu was not someone who was not afraid of corpses. His reaction to corpses was even more intense than that of ordinary people. It could even be said that he hated corpses.

But the "Tokiwa Hiiragi" he had met before showed no fear at all, and even acted as if it was normal.

So why do these symptoms occur...? Is it due to brain disease? Or is it man-made...?

At eight o'clock in the evening, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara finally met and began to exchange information with each other.

Congratulations! The first pair who broke the Red Team’s law of lack of intelligence has appeared.

Jinpei Matsuda: Tell a hell of a joke.

Kenji Hagiwara: Woohoo, Jinpei-chan, I’m sorry.

Matsuda Jinpei: (I got hit by my own sword) (I got angry at myself) (bushi)

Song Tiantian really can no longer accept any accidents happening to her friends (nods)
