Chapter 135 The Occasion
333.
[Thank you so much... Why did the police academy team suddenly show up!]
[What a devilish version of the FBI, open the door for me (tactical retreat) I thought Akai was going to get beaten again, I really feel sorry for Giegie!!]
[I feel like you are fanning the flames upstairs! (dog head) This tells us a lesson: when you open the door with a pot at the back, remember to close it with your foot, and don’t talk loudly at the door!]
[#世界冥画: The police collectively squeeze out the FBI# Hahahaha! Xiao Ke's face almost turned pale with fear. These police are even more brutal than the organization! ]
[Wow, the old and new generations finally meet, my HC is perfect!! (Sa Beining breathes oxygen) I have to say that the crying Hiro really looks like he is being comforted by his sister~]
[Sulli (holding a knife) (dropping it to the ground with a bang) (incredulous) (fading): "You actually used a fake voice to me! Am I not your favorite little baby?" The facts prove that Hiro is really spoiled...]
[Fuck!! Zero, I've been rebelling for five minutes (biting the handkerchief) You actually asked me about Toru directly, you're going too far! Shinsou can't stand the stimulation now!]
[Now that I’m here, I can’t ask for the answer. Isn’t the knife coming? (I’m eager to try)]
[Sister really didn't speak directly about Gran. By the way, Karasuma Renya is actually making such a big move? ! It's really a bit scientific... I think this is a bit outrageous. Assuming that the rainbow under the sun needs to be seen with the eyes (just like the Curacao memory color card), then Shenso is completely helpless.]
[Isn’t this the Chiyogaya family? There is another one... As expected, the brother-sister battle is the main storyline of the ferry (rubbing hands)]
[Sister, what's the difference between not saying this and saying it! ! Everyone here is highly intelligent, look at Ling Ling and the others, they obviously guessed it (chokes up) Big brother! ! You all know everything through brainwashing, can't you guess the reason why Toru struggles! ! He's just sick, he doesn't want to do this! ]
[It's not that we are not strong, it's that the enemy is too strong. Adding to the pain of Shinsou, Toru has endured three medicines in a short period of time without collapsing. This is already super amazing...]
[I feel like something is wrong with me. I can't bear to see the police academy team disappointed in Toru. It makes me suffocate just thinking about it. Now I wish I didn't want to know the truth!]
[Whether Toru chooses to be saved or self-destruct in the end, I hope he has companions and relatives who firmly believe in him. Although his sister loves him, they have too few opportunities to meet each other. As for the police academy team... Lingling, I beg you to dig out the truth and don't be disappointed in him! ! ]
[No one cares that Xiao Ke suggested keeping the explosion a secret from the Explosion Division? The operator said, "Dah-meh-yo-"
334.
Chiyoya Saori knew that if she left her two vests behind and went out to have fun, she would have to pay a price.
——For example, continuous recuperation and hospitalization.
I guess there is no other person in the world like her who would rush to be hospitalized, right?
Shinsou finally calmed Haibara Ai down, and it was Chiyodani Toru's turn to face five gorillas - cough cough cough, they are the Friendly Synchronicity!
Even Date Ko came this time.
The mature man who had already become a father still had a toothpick in his mouth. He came up and slammed the railing beside the bed. Seeing the dazed Chiyoya Saori, he couldn't help but say a few words: "You kid... why did you put yourself in the hospital again!"
"I was wrong—" Chiyoya Saori leaned against the bed, clasped her hands together, and spoke the truth sincerely, "I didn't want to go to the hospital at all!"
Matsuda Jinpei was sitting beside her, peeling apples for her. He rolled his eyes when he heard this and said in a sarcastic tone, "If you don't know, you might think Officer Chiyogaya is addicted to the smell of hospital disinfectant and is working day and night just to tire himself out."
In the past, Chiyoya Saori would have definitely fought back, but this time she first arranged to be with Shinsou at the same time, and then she was really frightened by the two excited people, and she felt a little guilty for a moment.
He could only stare at the curly-haired police officer with those exceptionally dark, bright and clear eyes.
Under the soft overhead light, the black-haired young man's eager look in his hospital gown looked particularly pitiful, and Matsuda Jinpei felt as if he was facing a newborn puppy.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
"Ahhh! That's enough, you only know how to play tricks on me. You're no big deal!" He peeled the apple with more force, almost gritting his teeth as he said, "Let Jingguang and the others teach you a lesson!"
Chiyoya Saori made a "yeah" gesture behind me.
Date Kou was trying not to laugh: "After all these years, Matsuda still falls for it."
Matsuda Jinpei was so angry that he said, "Sergeant, please stop talking nonsense!"
"What are you guys arguing about?" Hagiwara Kenji pushed the door open, holding a bunch of things in his hands, "I've already told Morobushi-chan, and I don't know how Kofuku-chan is doing... He should come over when he's free."
Chiyoya Saori muttered to herself that it would be better if they didn't come to compare. After all, she was still a little scared to see them now, especially Furuya Rei who was always more sincere...
She is now somewhat unsure of her acting skills.
"The doctor said I need to eat liquid food for at least two days."
Chiyotani Saori reached out for the apple on the plate in front of Matsuda Jinping, but then retracted her hand awkwardly under the latter's dim gaze.
Kenji Hagiwara put aside the medicine and vegetable porridge in his hand, pulled a stool and sat down, and surrounded the bed with the others, looking like he was going to have a three-person trial.
Date Ko saw the look on Matsuda Jinpei's face, raised his eyebrows, stood up and said he was going out to get some fresh air.
"Squad leader——" Someone held Erkang's hand.
Matsuda Jinpei: “Heh.”
"What are you doing?" Chiyogaya Saori said with a guilty conscience, "Are you so serious just after I woke up?"
The police officer with semi-long hair smiled slightly and said in a coaxing tone, "Don't I have something to ask you? Um, Chiyotani Toru who fainted in front of me? Answer the questions obediently and you will get a reward later."
Chiyoya Saori suddenly shuddered with fear.
I'm clearly well prepared, but when it comes to actual combat - I always get panicky!
------------
Jinpei Matsuda placed the peeled apple on a plate, then picked up another apple and began to dig into the pulp with a spoon, his eyes fixed on Chiyodani Toru, trying to find any unusual details.
The thin young man was leaning against the head of the bed, his black hair, which had not been cut for a long time, hanging down and pushed behind his head. The pitiful and somewhat uneasy expression on his face was so vivid, and the blue veins on the exposed back of his hand were particularly conspicuous.
It is beneath this frail body that lies the power that carries the lives of countless people, as well as unfathomable secrets.
Jinpei Matsuda was a little dazed. Chiyodani Toru in this scene seemed particularly familiar to him, as if he had crossed seven years and returned to the days in the police academy.
This guy is too old...
"What do you want to ask?" Chiyotani Toru blinked at Hagiwara Kenji with an innocent look on his face, "I think I'm still very honest, right?"
"It's not up to you to decide whether to be honest or not." Hagiwara Kenji slammed the recorder aside in annoyance, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll let Xiao Zhufu take you away!"
"Hey, this is just a personal revenge!"
"Okay, stop interrupting." Hagiwara Kenji was a little helpless, but his expression was obviously much more relaxed. He looked into Chiyodani Toru's eyes and said, "Toru, tell me the truth. Do you know clearly why you are in a coma?"
Chiyotani Toru was stunned there, and looked around at a few people again. Seeing their equally serious expressions, he nodded slowly: "I guess... I understand."
He lowered his eyes: "Something happened to Zaozhi, didn't it?"
This time it was Hagiwara Kenji's turn to remain silent. He said softly, "So you guessed it all at that time?"
"It's obvious - hagi." Chiyodani Toru muttered, "You are too stupid to try to hide it from me. Although I don't know what big thing you did, but..."
The black-haired young man placed his hand on his chest, as if he could feel the pain of his blood through his heartbeat. After a while, a smile appeared on his pale face: "I know she's fine."
As long as you're alive, it's okay.
Hagiwara Kenji's eyes suddenly widened, and he even stood up excitedly. He leaned on the railing beside the bed with both hands and asked as if he was dreaming, "Really?"
Chiyodani Toru nodded, his smile still calm and gentle: "I can feel her presence...but forget about this matter, just explain it to me slowly after you finish asking!"
Hagiwara Kenji sat back down.
Jinpei Matsuda felt that Chiyodani Toru's temper was incredibly good right now, as if he was surrounded by the aura of the Virgin Mary.
It was as if I had come to my senses and realized that I was happy enough to have my early weaving done, and I didn't care about what happened before...
What on earth is going on in this idiot's head?
Matsuda Jinpei poked at the apple puree without trying to hide his timidity. In fact, he was mentally prepared to be blamed by Chiyodani Toru.
"Then I'll continue asking." Hagiwara Kenji coughed lightly, took out the medicine bottle from the drawer and shook it in front of him, "Toru, how are you going to explain the poisoning?"
Jinpei Matsuda watched the two people asking and answering each other, while thinking about other things.
A few days ago, Morofushi Kagemitsu had looked for him and Hagiwara Kenji and inquired in great detail about Chiyodani Toru's daily behavior, as if he was going to use all the police's interrogation methods. But when he asked, the other party just smiled and said that he wanted to investigate it more carefully.
The colleague with blue upturned cat eyes said to them gently: "We all don't believe that Toru has any private connection with that organization, right? So now we have to find evidence to prove this point."
So Matsuda Jinpei said, "Then we have to verify the source of the antidote and the earring. It would be best if we could get that guy to reveal what happened before! We must not let him off this time!"
Now. Chiyotani Toru saw the medicine bottle and threw up his hands helplessly: "It seems that you have found out everything. The poison is indeed related to that organization. They hope to get some previous intelligence about our family from me..."
Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara looked at each other and knew that the thousand-year-old clam shell was finally about to open.
"The antidote in this bottle was researched by my uncle in Hawaii. If you feel something is wrong, just take one pill and it will relieve the toxicity. I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
Chiyogaya Toru shrugged his shoulders, and even looked a little proud: "That organization is still waiting for the day when I can't help myself and go find them!"
Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but slap his thigh with one hand. Seeing Chiyodani Toru almost jumped up in fright, he said unhappily, "How dare you be so proud? Don't you know how worried we are!"
"Then why don't you just solve it?" Hagiwara Kenji frowned, "Does it make sense for you to have a headache?"
The black-haired young man's momentum weakened instantly. He pursed his lips and defended himself, "If I detoxify directly, the organization might threaten me with other means... As for the headache, I think it might be because I don't get enough sleep!"
"You know you're not Superman, you need to get some sleep!"
"Private Marseille—QAQ!"
"No QAQ!"
This could indeed be explained, and Matsuda Jinpei felt relieved a little.
Kenji Hagiwara asked a few more questions about the dynamics of the organization, and Chiyodani answered them all fluently and with reasonable answers. Apart from hiding it from them, he had done a good job.
"No matter what, you must get rid of this poison within the next two months, do you understand?" Hagiwara Kenji said seriously, "The temporary antidote is not without harm. You don't want to spend every day in bed when you are old, do you?"
"Two months..." Chiyotani Toru repeated, curling his hands under the quilt for a moment, then smiled and surrendered helplessly, "I understand. After returning from this technology exhibition, I will go abroad to find my uncle to try to detoxify."
Matsuda Jinpei said bluntly: "I will go with you then."
"Do you have any vacation yet?"
"What? I don't want to get paid!" a certain troublesome police officer said righteously, "Anyway, they can't bear to fire me with my skills!"
Hagiwara Kenji made a "stop" gesture and continued to ask, "What about the earring on your right ear? How come I've never heard of a man who is almost 30 years old still having a rebellious period?"
"This?" Chiyotani Toru touched his ear and said bitterly, "It was really an accident... I was on a business trip to the United States and saw a cyberpunk exhibition. I drank a lot of wine when I went in to play, and I was fooled by someone in a daze!"
"Huh?!" Matsuda Jinpei's eyes widened in disbelief. "You were fooled by the Black Clinic?"
Chiyodani Toru gave a humble “ah”, his face full of guilt. He muttered, “This can’t be enforced across borders, so I just blame myself for the bad luck… but it actually doesn’t have much of an impact!”
"Isn't the hearing loss serious?" Hagiwara Kenji didn't know how to get angry for a moment. Chiyodani Toru was reliable in big matters, but he always failed in small matters. How could he explain this?
"Just make sure it doesn't affect my work." Chiyodani Toru drew his lips and made a zipper motion. "Remember not to tell Officer Megure and the others, or Officer Hazuka... Otherwise, I'm done for!"
Kenji Hagiwara rolled his eyes, not wanting to say that Yuto Hanezuka actually knew everything, and the only reason he didn't beat him up was because he had been unconscious for too long.
It turned out that they were all half real and half fake oolongs, which is why they were so frightened!
Matsuda Jinpei felt completely relieved. Since these doubts could be explained, he no longer had to bear the pain of doubting his best friend. However, Chiyoya Saori...
Where is she now? What happened to her?
Jinpei Matsuda felt that he still owed her an "I'm sorry".
-------------
Time passed by minute by minute. It was already dark when Chiyodani Toru woke up, and he was not sleepy at all. Therefore, while the two parties were telling each other what had happened in the past few days, midnight arrived quietly.
Like the main characters who were to appear on time, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei pushed the door open and walked in. The squad leader stood behind them, and was half a head taller than them.
"Toru, it's great to see you sober." Morobushi Kagemitsu smiled and put the bag in his hand aside. His blue-grey cat eyes were smiling, and his expression was a little unclear.
Chiyodani Toru looked into the bag and said, "What good stuff did Hiro bring?"
"Don't be anxious." Fūya Ling stopped him and touched his head. "We'll see later."
Jinpei Matsuda complained: "You golden-haired bastard, you are very skilled at petting dogs."
Both the one who was stroking and the one being stroking glared at him.
Hagiwara Kenji pulled his stool to the side and said jokingly, "If Xiao Zhenping gets beaten, I won't stop the fight."
Date Kou crossed his arms and said, "I have to say that Toru's hair does look nice."
Chiyodani Toru said quietly, "So when was the last time I washed my hair?"
Fūya Rei froze in place.
"Hahaha!" I don't know who started laughing first, and everyone laughed too.
During this time, they seemed to have returned to the almost carefree days in the police academy. The so-called worries were just a battle of wits and courage with Onizuka Hachizo, or holding the husky-like Chiyodani Toru to keep him from getting into trouble.
Date Hang scanned the faces of the people. His rank was not high among the people, but at this moment, he acted like a squad leader and was convincing: "Seven years have passed, and it's rare for the six of us to get together."
"Yeah, the last time they were so well-organized was at graduation... But the hospital seems to be a limited occasion." Hagiwara Kenji stroked his chin and looked at Chiyodani Toru, teasing, "Even the person involved hasn't changed."
"So, have a drink?" Morofushi Kagemitsu took out a large bottle of soda from the bag and poured it into disposable paper cups, which Furiya Rei served to everyone in turn, while Chiyodani Toru only received a cup of bland warm water.
The brown-haired man with a gentle smile only smiled more brightly at his companion's protesting look: "Do you have any opinions?"
Chiyodani Toru took a deep breath and shook his head quickly: "I didn't!"
The Explosion Team nearby chuckled, saying that only a wicked person can defeat a wicked person.
“Cheers to reunion!”
"There is one more thing, but it seems someone doesn't remember it at all." Hagiwara Kenji said helplessly, "Toru, do you remember what day it is today?"
Chiyotani Toru realized and said, "What day is today?"
"Idiot!" Matsuda Jinpei cursed angrily and put his phone in front of him. "Take another look?"
The black-haired young man's eyes suddenly widened into a dazed look.
"Toru, happy birthday." Morobushi Kagemitsu said as he took out a piece of paper from his bag, shook it, and stuffed it into the dazed young man's hand, "You're 28, right?"
Chiyodani Toru lowered his head. On the paper in his hand was a drawing of a chubby slime with twenty-eight hairs carefully drawn on its head.
“……”This scene seems familiar?
Hagiwara Kenji said coolly, "Congratulations to Chiyodani Tetsu for not forgetting your original intention after seven years. You spent your last 21st birthday in the hospital, and this year is no exception."
The black-haired young man looked up, his fair face showing the word "confused". He shook the paper in his hand and asked, "So?"
Morofushi Jingguang said gently: "As per tradition, this is your cake this year."
Chiyotani Tetsu: "!!!"
This is insulting!
No wonder Kenji Hagiwara emphasized that he can only eat liquid food in the past two days!
Idahang stood beside the bed, his voice was calm and reassuring: "In short, everyone hopes that you can be safe and happy this year, without any illness or disaster."
"Chiyodani Toru, you have done a great job, and we are proud of you."
During his seven years of service, Chiyotani Toru was a qualified police officer. He was excellent and upright enough to solve many major cases, seek justice for the victims, and show no mercy to lawbreakers.
The smile on the black-haired young man's face suddenly froze, a trace of panic flashed across his black eyes, and was quickly covered by even deeper and richer emotions. He just sat still on the bed, looking at his peers who had surrounded him for years without changing.
After a while, in silence, they saw Chiyodani Toru blink his eyes, and undisguised tears rolled down his eye sockets, flowed down his fair and thin cheeks to his chin, and soon fell onto the white bed sheet, spreading out into several dark circles.
This silent outburst of emotion was so intense that it seemed to create a strong resonance in the space, causing everyone to breathe more slowly, fearing that if they opened their mouths they would overwhelm the young man who looked particularly fragile.
They just watched Chiyodani Toru crying, silently, yet as if he was crying out loud in his heart.
For a moment, the only sound was the beeping sound of the instrument. The heartbeat graph beside it rose and fell, conveying human emotions in the form of a machine.
Why... do you look so sad?
After a while, Chiyodani Toru raised his hand, wiped his eyes fiercely, and said hoarsely: "What? Didn't you say you wanted to replicate what happened seven years ago? I'm being dedicated!"
Matsuda Jinpei said "Oh~" and murmured, "Sure enough, seven years ago, you were hiding in your quilt and crying..."
Chiyodani Toru rubbed his eyes red with his own hands, and pursed his lips. He looked nothing like the cold and righteous star that all his colleagues in the Investigation Section feared. He was simply childish.
Kenji Hagiwara sighed slightly, he took the first step forward and held Chiyodani Toru's body, which was much thinner than his, in his arms. Feeling the stiffness of the person in his arms, he even restrained himself from hugging her, just trying to convey his feelings to her.
"It's all right," he said. "We're all here."
So, Matsuda Jinpei gave him a hug and punched him in the back without hesitation: "If you scare me like this again, I will really beat you up."
"We agreed to have a fight, but after all these years, we still haven't had a proper fight... What a loss!"
“Roll, roll, roll!”
Ida Hang also gave him a hug. The only married person looked so reliable: "If you need help, just ask me, or call me to chat."
"Um……"
Furuya Rei also gave him a hug. The blond man leaned over, very quietly, with the smell of the cool night breeze in his arms. He whispered in Chiyodani Toru's ear: "Don't go to the technology exhibition, okay, Toru?"
Chiyodani Toru smiled at him, as if he didn't hear him.
Morofushi Jingguang came forward last. His embrace was exceptionally warm, and if one smelled it carefully, one could even smell the unique aroma of his pastries.
He said nothing, but just patted Chiyodani Toru's back again and again, but his movements gradually tightened, and in the end he wanted to embed Chiyodani Toru in his arms.
…
Zhu Fu Jingguang was speechless. He had been standing at the door for a long time and heard the conversation between the few people through the crack in the door.
So he knew it clearly.
Chiyodani Toru, you are lying.
