Chapter 142 Ferry Incident

357.

[It’s so painful, it’s really painful for me to watch, oooooooo, why can they be so cruel, I’m really torn apart!! Everyone is wrong except the organization, but it is precisely because of everyone’s fault that this mess has been created]

[I fell into the turbulent sea. I once firmly believed in our indestructible relationship... I cried loudly, oooooooo! My Toru... I didn't even cry when my sister did that, but today I cried like a dog]

[Jinpei Matsuda!! Kenji Hagiwara!!! You two bastards, why bother talking about justice!! Do you know that the justice you think you have is worse than the poison in Toru? QAQ, wait for someone with great skills to write a plot line for the accomplice, I can’t hold it back any longer]

[Zero moved very quickly, but still couldn't catch up. Why didn't he catch up by chance?! (Roaring) When Hiro contacted Matsuda, it was like a desperate fight of bayonets over the phone line.]

[Although he knew he would die, he didn’t expect that he would fall into the sea while fighting Matsuda, and gave him the USB drive before he died... Wuwuwu Toru, you little bastard, didn’t you say you wouldn’t give it to him!! You liar!!]

[“Hagiwara, I won’t hand over the USB drive to the organization” he didn’t believe it; “Matsuda, I won’t give the USB drive to you” he believed it…giao!!! You guys should unify the tacit understanding you have acquired since childhood!! Whether you all believe in him or not, at least he can be the last rope]

[It seems that Toru was completely broken at the end. He was probably still wishing that Matsuda and the others would say that they were willing to believe him, but all they got was a sentence like "accept the ending that should be". What ending should he have? Death...]

[So he smiled and waved, and walked into his own ending]

[He is really tired. Seven years of concealment, deception, and sin, and the disappointment of his companions finally crushed him... He might as well just fall asleep like this. It’s good, it’s good, but I’m not so good!]

[I'm torn, Gin, the organization, I'm @#@#￥!! Toru really gave the USB drive to Matsuda in the end, proving that it was indeed a locator given to Rum. When I think of him trying to help the public security before his death, I'm really grateful]

[This really can't be blamed on the police academy team. Although it was all Granmani's fault, Gran is Toru to some extent... Their professional ethics don't allow them to abandon their bottom line. If they really follow Toru's lead, I think that would be OOC]

[“Not dying right away was the biggest mistake I made.” Wuuuuu, please, the organization is not dead yet, such a good organization should not be destroyed here]

[Shit, shit! Isn’t the voting list really broken? Why didn’t Chiyotani Toru’s name disappear?]

[It’s ok, right? When XXX next door crashed yesterday, it disappeared after the update...Ahhhhhhhhh?! No way! But logically, after the revelation of Soori, C should have disappeared... Why didn’t it disappear (dumbfounded)? Is there a bug in our show?]

[Toru! How can I live without you! (Chasing the car) (Falling) (Getting up and continuing to chase) I didn’t die from a bite of milk! ! My beloved police officer would definitely prefer to sacrifice for the public good]

[In fact, I also think that the possibility of death is not high. Toru is now going to extremes because he is broken and depressed, but he must still be thinking about everyone and... destroying the organization. Before the organization is destroyed, he will not be at peace even if he dies, right?!]

[Srds: It's too difficult to find him in this situation. The organization doesn't have a positioning earring, so the possibility of finding him is greater. But returning to the organization... this time is a complete break with the Red Team!]

[…Don’t say it, I’ll split it myself (wholesale Tiannv Sanhua cutting board)]

358.

The sound of the ferry moving forward was particularly loud at this moment, drowning out all the sounds of falling into the water, as if the figure did not fall, but dissipated in the sunlight, turning into white, pure foam.

All you could hear was the sound of the boat moving forward, and it seemed like there were some seabirds calling. Their cries were clear and high-pitched, as if they wanted to split the surface of the sea.

The sunlight leaking through the clouds shone on his head and back, stinging the wounds with burning pain, reminding him again and again that he was not dreaming.

No dreams.

The young man who would smile and call him "Mazda" waved to him as he left. He said he was very tired. He said, Jinpei Matsuda——

Chiyodani Toru is so tired.

"I am very disappointed with Chiyodani Toru."

The "Star of Justice", who had just celebrated his 28th birthday, lowered his eyelashes and lightly pronounced judgment on himself, but he ruthlessly tore apart any hesitation and indecision in Jinpei Matsuda's heart.

Jinpei Matsuda himself didn't know that he could have such thoughts.

He didn't know if it was because the sun was too hot, but it seemed as if the blood in his throat had solidified. He was unable to utter any words to defend himself, as if the words "he didn't think so" were as heavy as a thousand pounds, sinking straight into his stomach.

Or rather, until this moment, he had been making excuses - even though there was no sun at that time.

Of course, one should make amends for a wrong done, and not breaking the law is the first lesson they learn when they enter school. Jinpei Matsuda doesn't know how Chiyodani Toru ended up in such a desperate situation, but he knows... there is no future.

There is nothing left.

The USB flash drive in his hand was tightly grasped at some point, but seeing the blood oozing out from his hand pierced by the sharp end, Matsuda Jinpei picked up his clothes and wiped it clean in great panic.

But it was no use. After being placed for so many years, the surface of the USB flash drive was already rusted. The pits and grooves of the decorations mixed with the blood foam, turning it into an ugly brown color... It couldn't be wiped off no matter what.

Matsuda Jinpei wiped it vigorously, as if he was unaware of this fact. It seemed that in his eyes there was only this USB flash drive and the calm, boundless sea in the distance.

The curly-haired police officer bit his lower lip tightly at some point, and his bright and confident eyes were blurred.

Chiyodani Toru...ah.

"Matsuda, Officer Matsuda." Someone's cautious voice came from the side, but Matsuda Jinpei felt too tired to even turn around.

He just lowered his head and looked at the USB flash drive in his hand, thinking about Chiyodani Toru's words "I won't give the USB flash drive to you", and he felt that the voice was getting louder and louder, making his ears buzz and hurt.

So what's that in his hand?

"It's like this, it was a call from the undercover officer, Officer Hagiwara didn't find him..." Seeing that he didn't respond, the guard continued to talk on his own, "Since Mrs. Shintani's treasure has been retrieved and the criminal has jumped into the sea... Can we withdraw now?"

"Bullshit prisoner!" Jinpei Matsuda finally reacted this time.

He suddenly raised his head, stared at the police officer with eyes as red as if the devil had crawled out of hell, and almost roared, "Go call the sea rescue team! Go call them!"

"There are other things. Get out the lifeboat and let me go down to rescue people!"

"That bastard is such a liar." He trembled and said, "He said he wouldn't give it to me, but he gave it to me anyway... He won't die, will he?"

"Go, quickly!"

The police officer was yelled at by him and left with only a communication phone beside him.

Only then did Jinpei Matsuda realize that they had already passed the area where the signal was poor.

He picked up the phone numbly, and before he could say anything, he heard Morobushi Kagemitsu anxiously repeating: "Matsuda? That's you, right? How's the situation on the ship now? Where's Toru? What I just heard was..."

“Don’t say anything.” Matsuda Jinpei knelt on the ground, put the USB drive in front of his chest, and bent his straight waist to the point where he seemed to be holding his breath. He said in a low hoarse voice, “Kingmitsu, don’t say anything. He fell into the sea in front of me because of me…”

"I didn't hold him back." He muttered with a hollow look in his eyes, "I pushed him down."

"Who?!" Morofushi Jingguang's voice suddenly rose, and his almost broken voice could be heard through the phone, "Matsuda Jinpei, say it again!"

Matsuda Jinpei was so distracted that he kept repeating: "Chiyodani Toru fell down, just now, just now..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of something being overturned on the ground. Morobushi Jingguang's voice was very loud. He growled, "What on earth happened?"

Matsuda Jinpei was a little tired, but before he could say anything, Morobushi Kagemitsu suddenly spoke up and threw out a series of questions: "Granmani showed up? Did you fight? Did you fight after seeing that appearance?"

His words became more and more rapid and suppressed, as if his voice would break at any moment, almost confusing Matsuda Jinpei.

But he could only say "hmm" softly, and said with an almost wry smile: "So, you all know that Granmani is Chiyotani Toru."

Are he and Hagi the only ones kept in the dark?

Why should they face all this?

"No!" Zhu Fu Jingguang trembled and responded, "No..."

Matsuda Jinpei was stunned.

"Zero just sent back information. Granmani is Tooru's second personality. He was brainwashed and driven crazy by the organization. He was born with a personality that is loyal to the organization and can completely suppress himself."

Morobushi Jingguang was almost unable to speak clearly. He choked up and said, "He didn't want to, he didn't want to do those bad things... He was just brainwashed by that organization... He just... went crazy."

"He can't control himself at all. He can't control Granmani at all..."

As the words came out, Morobushi Kagemitsu could hardly suppress his excitement. He almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out his words from between his teeth: "Matsuda, Matsuda, tell me... why, why did he fall into the sea!"

It is obvious that the antidote for Haibara Ai has been developed to the final stage. As long as they bring Chiyodani Toru back, everything will be on track, even according to the law... In the case of Chiyodani Toru, he himself does not need to bear criminal responsibility.

He cannot control his own behavior and cannot receive Granmani's actions. The only thing he can do is to endlessly squeeze himself to help the Metropolitan Police Department solve cases!

"Why!"

Morobushi Kagemitsu's almost questioning voice shook Matsuda Jinpei's whole body. He sat by the railing holding his cell phone in a somewhat wolfish manner, feeling as if he had turned into a drop of sea water and lost all his human thinking abilities.

What did Zhufu Jingguang just say?

"Brainwashing...personality..." He repeated mechanically, and said in a daze, "Isn't Granmani Che?"

"No, he's not!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang said bitterly: "Now I just hate myself for not being able to distinguish between them when there is such a huge difference between them."

Jinpei Matsuda thought he might have a fever and was feeling dizzy. Why... was Morofushi Kagemitsu's words so difficult to understand?

"Matsuda, calm down for a moment. I have other things to do."

It seemed that he felt it was difficult to continue the communication under the circumstances, and that he had other plans, so Morofushi Jingguang quickly hung up the phone.

Only Jinpei Matsuda was left sitting alone, staring at the sea in a daze.

The maritime rescue team has been notified and is rushing here by helicopter.

But it was daytime now, and the sea was shining brightly in the sunlight. It was sparkling and nothing could be seen at a glance. Not to mention that even if he reacted quickly, it would take at least five minutes for the rescue team to arrive.

How long can a person who is covered in wounds and has lost the will to live survive in the ocean?

Jinpei Matsuda couldn't figure it out.

He just sat there blankly, thinking about what Kagemitsu Morobuchi had said.

Granmani is Toru's uncontrollable second personality. He was driven crazy after being brainwashed and controlled by that organization. He himself... knows nothing.

No—he knew something.

He knew the sins that Granmani had committed without having to witness them; he knew what would happen to Chiyotani Toru without having to ask.

But his ending... wasn't supposed to be like this.

It was him. He was the one who did it.

Matsuda Jinping slowly tightened his hands on his chest, and finally grabbed his clothes, pulling himself hard and bending his waist.

He couldn't tell what emotion was beating so hard on his heart. The torn truth kept shuttling back and forth in his mind, dragging out his memories.

Just as Morofushi Jingguang said, why can't we tell them apart when they are so different?

Jinpei Matsuda was sure that he would not make any connection between Granmani and Chiyodani Toru until the mask was taken off.

His colleagues have gentle yet bright smiles, and they never forget to soothe the crowd's emotions even in tense cases. When they are with them on weekdays, they become even softer and closer to them.

——Because they are different in Chiyodani Toru’s mind.

Jinpei Matsuda was once proud of himself because other police officers asked him, "How come Officer Chiyogaya has a good relationship with you two?"

But even though he claimed to be a close friend of Chiyodani Toru, he still chose to brush it off lightly after noticing something was wrong.

He seemed to have discovered something, and many years ago he approached him and specifically asked him if he had multiple personalities; but he also seemed to have noticed nothing, and brushed it off while Chiyodani Toru was almost forcing a smile.

He was just feeling lucky and complacent -- he and Hagiwara Kenji had managed to keep this little bastard under control.

He even boasted to Chiyodani Toru: "Look, Toru, if it weren't for me and Hagi, you wouldn't even be able to remember to eat - why don't you thank me?"

The young man who was buried in the files just put down his pen, smiled and looked at them tolerantly: "Okay, okay, who's turn is it to treat us this time?"

Speaking of treating, the two of them who had enough money to spare treated most of the others, but they still preferred to treat Chiyodani Toru, feeling quite proud of being his "older brother" who was two years older than him.

At this time, Chiyodani Toru raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "You guys want to bribe me like this?"

In fact, someone was completely bought off.

But except for the time they were at the Metropolitan Police Department, they rarely found Chiyodani Toru at other times. The young man who once took them to his home had refused all diplomatic contacts and turned himself into an isolated island.

This is so subtle and natural that everyone has accepted it without realizing it.

Apart from the five of them, Chiyotani Toru never accepted dinner invitations from other colleagues, and never made further friends with others. Everyone thought he was nice, but no one could get close to him.

"He is indeed the star of justice." A female police officer said with emotion, "Officer Chiyoya is like the moon in the water and the flower in the mist. You can only watch him from afar and never get close to him. I wonder who is so lucky to marry him!"

Another female police officer shook her head and said, "Forget it. Officer Chiyogaya is gentle, but he has absolutely no intention of making friends. I don't know how Matsuda and the others get along with him."

"Indeed, it seems that Officer Chiyogaya has never taken the initiative to chat with anyone else except these two."

Chiyodani Toru is a workaholic who immerses himself in cases and rejects other people with various reasons. In the Metropolitan Police Department, only Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei can get close to him.

But what about when they are both working? Or when they have their own lives and don't go to him?

As public security officers, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei have basically no contact; Date Kou and Natalie are far away in Hokkaido, and Chiyodani Toru is considerate enough not to disturb them.

That is to say, when they are not around, Chiyotani Toru is always alone and silent, either working, or...

Or Gran Marni.

Matsuda Jinpei closed his eyes. The salt left after the seawater was evaporated made his eyes hurt, but he couldn't shed a tear to moisten them. The dull pain and stinging made his brain feel overwhelmed, and finally he gave up all resistance.

A dynamic memory suddenly emerged in his confused mind.

At that time, because Toru Chiyotani was on a business trip, he went to a pub with Kenji Hagiwara to drink. In a drunken state, he carried Kenji Hagiwara towards the apartment. On the way, they seemed to meet Toru Chiyotani, who was standing under a telephone pole and doing something unknown.

He was wearing a windbreaker that almost blended into the night, and a pair of metal glasses that he put on and off from time to time pressed against his face, blocking his expression. He seemed to be holding a cigarette in his hand, and his posture was very skillful.

After seeing them, Chiyodani Toru greeted them with some surprise.

Matsuda Jinpei, who was already a little drunk at the time, approached him with narrowed eyes and questioned him: "Toru, burp, when did you learn to smoke?"

"There's no cigarette here, it's a lollipop." The man showed a helpless expression, waved the small white stick in front of him, and asked, "Do you think I smoke?"

——That is definitely impossible.

Chiyodani Toru is reluctant to even drink alcohol during social events, so how could he possibly do something like smoking, which harms his health and affects other people?

So Matsuda Jinpei believed his lie that he was eating a lollipop on the roadside after returning from a business trip late at night, and dragged Hagiwara Kenji towards home, staggering. On the way, the latter tripped and caused him to fall, leaving him with a bruised face.

But in reality, is that him? Is that candy? Is that... going home?

The man with the face of Chiyodani Toru just watched the two of them leave, and then turned into the silent god of death of the night, reaping one life after another in a place they could not see, adding another heavy sin to the ignorant Chiyodani Toru.

Matsuda Jinpei was thinking that if it was Toru himself, seeing the two of them looking confused, the most likely thing he would do was to come over with a look of disgust on his face and send them back, and then laugh loudly at the two drunk idiots the next day.

Even take a photo.

But Granmani wouldn't. The personality that had Chiyodani Toru's appearance and memories and had the ultimate control over that body for a long time, was completely blank when it came to feelings towards them.

To Granmani, they are no different from the other police officers, but because Jinpei Matsuda and his gang have occupied most of Chiyodani Toru's life, he has to endure the temptation to disguise himself, and sometimes even release Toru himself to deal with it, just to keep this identity and make a profit for the organization.

But Jinpei Matsuda thought of Rei Furuya, who was also an undercover agent in the organization. His identity had never been exposed, so it was possible for him to bring such a cruel truth to the organization today.

Would Granmani, who shares a body with Chiyodani Toru, not know that Furuya Rei is an undercover agent?

impossible.

But he did not report it, did no harm, and did not take any action, as if the so-called brainwashing of loyalty to the organization began to waver at this moment.

Why?

Matsuda Jinpei's empty hand wrote the letters "tooru" without him even reacting.

Because they were deeply loved and protected by a fool who was two years younger than them.

Only they...

Matsuda Jinpei was carefully thinking about his own thoughts, and only then did he realize how peculiar Chiyodani Toru's attitude towards them was.

It's not just the difference between friends and closer friends, but...he is the only one left.

"Jinpei Matsuda." The young man was looking at him with a dull expression. "Do you think that organization is more important to me than our relationship over the years?"

At that time, he was overwhelmed by anger and fear. He stood there in a daze for a while, and only later did he realize what he had said.

Facing Chiyodani Toru's disappointed and tired eyes, Matsuda Jinpei even felt a little aggrieved and angry.

Isn't it? If it wasn't the order of that organization, why did they steal the USB drive? Why did they hurt others? Why did they fight him with swords?

Why...are you looking at him like this?

But the so-called snatching of the USB flash drive eventually returned to his hands; he hurt so many people and paid the price with his life; he faced him with a sword, but stopped when he was about to pierce his neck, and was severely cut on the wrist by him instead.

Jinpei Matsuda found that Granmani and Chiyodani Toru were really easy to recognize. With this premise, he could even spot the difference in an instant.

It was Granmani who went on a killing spree in the exhibition hall and snatched the USB flash drive; it was Granmani who laughed to himself and said, "He didn't make the first move this time"; and it was Granmani who nearly stabbed him to death.

It was Chiyodani Toru who moved the dagger away at the critical moment; it was Chiyodani Toru who gave up his strength and was unwilling to give it his all; it was Chiyodani Toru who coughed up blood and looked at him with sad eyes.

The one who gave Chiyodani Saori a sincere kiss at the end was... Chiyodani Toru.

Because Jinpei Matsuda was almost killed by Granmani, Chiyodani Toru, who was completely devastated, finally regained control of his body. He looked at the mess blankly, but could do nothing.

Granmani somehow gathered the strength to regain control; members of other organizations on the ship were watching from the shadows; the public security police who wanted to arrest Granmani had already surrounded them.

The appearance of Chiyodani Toru no longer has any significance in changing the situation.

All he could do was to end his own life in this short period of time with the time bomb on his body.

But is Chiyotani Toru really decisive enough to make this decision in an instant, to say goodbye to his family and close friends forever?

So - he waited on the deck for a long time, waiting for someone who might pull him back and tell him that the end was not yet in sight.

So——he waited for Jinpei Matsuda.

So - Matsuda Jinpei's extremely harsh and cold questioning successfully cut the last rope with his own hands.

Yes, Jinpei Matsuda has already said that his feelings over the years are no match for the organization, so what's the point of Chiyodani Toru's excuse that he can't control it and that there is another devil inside him?

What's more, the existence of Granmani really forced this question upon him.

"Jinpei Matsuda, I'm really tired." He tilted his head slightly and looked at him. His voice was light and flat, like an awkward complaint.

So he pried his hands apart and leaped into a world that would never doubt or hurt him.

In the end, Jinpei Matsuda was unable to hold on to the kite that had lost all its attachments, and he was the one who broke the string.

It was because he tried to force a fight with him and take him back that he was pushed to the edge and caused the current situation.

When this truth appeared in his mind, Matsuda Jinpei felt as if his heart was being pinched by a giant hand, and it suddenly fell downward, causing him to almost lose his grip on the railing and fall out through the gap.

In front of me is a sea with white waves...

"Jinpei Matsuda!" Hagiwara Kenji's roar came from behind him. He immediately rushed over and dragged Jinpei Matsuda away from the edge, saying with a hint of fear, "What are you doing here?!"

Matsuda Jinpei was dragged under the mast like a dead fish. Looking at his young son in the sunlight, he felt that he had become so confused that his eyesight was blurry.

Kenji Hagihara's long hair, which he usually takes good care of, has lost a lot of hair. It looks very strange. If it grows a little higher, it will become the length of Toru's hair...

Matsuda Jinpei was thinking in confusion when he heard Hagiwara Kenji speak excitedly: "Just now, the alarm locator was suspicious, so I rushed over with my men and caught a member of the organization who was about to drive the submarine away on the second floor! That guy had a lot of gangs with him. If it wasn't for the accurate positioning, it would have been a bit difficult to deal with him."

"After he was caught, he cursed Granmani loudly. We found a USB flash drive with an alarm attached to it from him... It must have been put there by Toru in order to catch him!" Hagiwara Kenji said hurriedly, his expression almost crying and laughing, with relief in it.

"I knew that guy wouldn't betray us. He must have been using some kind of expedient plan! He teamed up with Kokoro and the others to catch the bigger fish... Even the injuries on his body are really because he went too far. Many police officers were knocked down by him, but luckily they didn't die."

Matsuda Jinpei trembled his lips: "They are all alive?"

"Although he was seriously injured, he is indeed not dead. After all, if he wants to deceive the members of the organization, he has to make the fake look real." Hagiwara Kenji continued, "But he is too reckless. I have just been discharged from the hospital. I must teach him a lesson when I return!"

"So, Jinpei-chan, have you seen Toru?" Hagiwara Kenji said in one breath, panting, "I just ran into him in the corridor and mistook him. No matter what, I still have to apologize."

Matsuda Jinpei looked at him blankly, and said in a numb voice: "Did I see it..."

"I saw it." He didn't know what expression he had. It was as if all his emotions disappeared in an instant, leaving only a blank white space.

"He fell into the sea," said Jinpei Matsuda.

"I pushed it. It was right in front of me. Just now."

The smile on Kenji Hagiwara's face froze instantly.
