Chapter 15 Daily life in police academy.



52.

"As police officers who will serve the public interest in the future, we must first understand the laws of Japan in all aspects..."

The teacher wearing black-framed glasses was explaining the basic knowledge of law, while the students sitting below were looking down at the materials. It was unclear whether they were listening carefully or daydreaming in the theory class.

It's not impossible to sleep, but the premise is that you won't be discovered.

"Jinpei Matsuda! What answer should you choose for this question?" A loud roll call woke Jinpei Matsuda up.

The sloppy curly-haired young man stood up and said without hesitation: "B!"

Strange, why did he feel that this guy was not paying attention to the class? He even didn't mention the topic!

The teacher pushed up his glasses, looked at the answer, and said with some disinterest: "By the way, sit down."

After sitting down, Matsuda Jinpei continued to pull out the self-review that was pressed under the book. He had just written two words when his eyelids began to droop again.

But this time, Kenji Hagiwara, who was sitting next to him, stretched out his long legs without hesitation and kicked his stool crooked.

There was a crackling sound, and Matsuda Jinpei suddenly grabbed the cup and books on the table and smiled at the stunned law teacher: "Huh~?"

"Matsuda Jinpei, stand up and stand in the back!"

Chiyoya Sayori, who had just given the answers to Matsuda Jinpei in the hope that he would finish writing his self-review as soon as possible, could not bear to look and covered her face with the book.

Ahhhh! Her case!

53.

"Jingle bells."

The morning class finally ended, leaving nearly two hours of rest time. Several people gathered together like spies discussing intelligence.

Furuya Rei: "There are only about a hundred words left to finish!"

Morobushi Kagemitsu: "I'm almost the same."

Date Ko: "Hahaha, I write fast, I've finished it."

Hagiwara Kenji: "I know this, done~"

Matsuda Jinpei: "emmm, five hundred..."

This time when she returned to school, she was not allowed to use her cell phone. Chiyogaya Hayami picked up her notebook. There were no numbers written on it, but a skull with four big characters "Matsuda Jinpei" written on it.

There was a moment of silence.

Morobushi Kagemitsu swallowed his saliva and said, "Toru, hold back your murderous aura! I believe Matsuda will be able to handle it in half an hour at most!"

Matsuda Jinpei surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'll write it now, I'll write it now!"

"By the way, why does Matsuda look so sleepy? Did he not sleep well last night?" Furuya Rei was a little puzzled. "And Kenji, you have dark circles under your eyes."

Hagiwara Kenji was shocked and quickly found a mirror from the desk drawer and looked at himself: "What! Do I have dark circles under my eyes? Damn... I was planning to go to the female police tonight to watch their combat training."

Chiyotani Saori's mouth twitched. She and Morofushi Kagemitsu stayed up until two or three in the morning and didn't feel sleepy at all. Could it be that these two guys really went out to be thieves?

A bit suspicious.

Ida Hang coughed lightly and said, "We have to finish writing the review before lunch, so that we can go out and look for cases after class in the afternoon."

Chiyoya Hayori wrote quickly and raised her hand: "Avoid Instructor Onizuka and Officer Takada!"

She doesn't want to double-check!

"Do we have to investigate this case?" Furuya Rei was a little confused. "Hiro said that you have already provided clues to the police."

Chiyoya Saori wrote in a sloppy manner, but her handwriting was usually neat, so it didn't look ugly. She wrote, "That doctor is of a higher level, and the police may not be able to find the connection."

"There may be a third victim. Long-term psychological implications cannot be eliminated by just keeping watch for a period of time."

Morobushi Kagemitsu thought: "By the way, Toru, there are books on psychology in your dormitory. Have you ever studied it specifically?"

Chiyoya Saori gave a smile that only a top student could give and held up her notebook: "It's just so-so."

The few of them had some boring chatter about what she was like, but they all decided to accompany Chiyoya Saori to investigate the case.

As for whether the review will be doubled – we’ll talk about that later!

"But we still need to prepare a little bit before that, such as the homework for the law class." Furuya Rei yawned and tilted his head towards Chiyogaya Sayori, his purple-gray eyes full of smiles, "Toru competition?"

“See who can do it faster and more correctly.”

Chiyoya Saori raised her thumbs up - she liked this kind of performance that was specifically designed to add to her drama.

Morofushi Jingguang protested: "Hey, aren't you taking me with you?"

"Hiro, don't you always like to do it together at night?"

Furiya Rei was somewhat surprised by Morobushi Kagemitsu's change. He felt that after one night, Hiro and Toru had become much closer.

You have to know that he knows his childhood very well. Morobushi Jingguang is only gentle and kind on the surface, but in fact he is very guarded.

It seems that Toru is really reliable.

"Then let's come together." Date Kou put his arm around Hagiwara Kenji's shoulder, "Kenji and I will come too!"

Hagiwara Kenji: "Okay, I'm not bad in academic subjects either."

Matsuda Jinpei raised his head: "?? What about me?"

Furuya Rei smiled: "If you don't finish your review, I think Toru might——"

Chiyoya Saori said nothing, but drew a cute picture on the notebook she held up ^_^.

Jinpei Matsuda: “…” Damn it, silent threats are more powerful than spoken ones!

The curly-haired young man snatched the notebook away angrily, crossed his legs and continued to write a "self-criticism" that would make Onizuka Hachizo furious.

Chiyoya Saori sat back in her seat and subconsciously turned her head to look at Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei.

For some reason, she always seemed to feel that the attitudes of these two people towards her were a little strange, much softer than when they were on the rooftop.

Hmm... Could it be that the information she released specifically was found out so quickly?

This is an identity specially prepared for Toru.

The fake boy twirled his pen, lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the black words on the paper in front of him, and filled in the answers one by one quickly and accurately.

54.

[Night, half past twelve.]

Kenji Hagiwara knocked on Jinpei Matsuda's dormitory door and tiptoed in. The latter was not sleeping, but was dismantling a tape recorder. The parts were scattered all over the floor, and a few of them were specially picked out.

"Are you trying to make a cell phone or a walkie-talkie?" Hagiwara Kenji looked at it curiously and wanted to touch it.

Matsuda Jinpei opened his hand and said, "Don't lose it. I was planning to make a button-type amplifier."

"Toru's injury hasn't healed yet? He won't be allowed to use his phone when he comes back, and it will be very troublesome for him to write. I didn't bring any gifts when I went to see him, so I'll see if I can make one."

"By the way, why are you out here in the middle of the night?"

Hagiwara Kenji said seriously: "Didn't we just discuss Toru's emotional problems? I plan to check it out."

Matsuda Jinpei was a little surprised: "What is there to check? It's not a good idea to check this!"

"It's not that the question is too subtle!" Hagiwara Kenji waved his hand, "Do you think Toru's personality is the kind that he would tell us his secrets? If we ask him directly, he will just say it's okay - so we have to find a topic, just a topic!"

Jinpei Matsuda agreed with this point, but they only knew Chiyodani Toru's name and didn't ask for other basic information.

"Do you still remember... the rainy doll you found in Toru's room last time?" Hagiwara Kenji said, "I thought there must be something wrong with it. Later I checked the computer in the data room. In addition to the effect of praying for rain, the rainy doll also has a very strange legend."

Matsuda Jinpei walked over and asked curiously, "What?"

"Soul summoning..." Hagiwara Kenji's expression darkened for a moment, and he said in a dark voice, "Homeless souls, please follow the continuous rain and live in my house!"

"Oh my god!" Matsuda Jinpei almost picked up the recorder and threw it at him, "Can you please stop scaring people in the middle of the night?"

Hagiwara Kenji coughed twice and got back to the point: "Toru doesn't look like a superstitious person, but you saw his casual clothes and umbrella. I think we need to check this aspect."

"Rainy dolls, umbrellas, and summoning spirits." Matsuda Jinpei twitched his lips. "What can this be used to investigate? The only thing I can think of is a homicide."

"Toru mentioned that he used to live in Ekoda-cho, which is a famous place where magic and sorcery coexist." Hagiwara Kenji touched his chin, "A water-related disaster is either a flood, drowning or a fire. We can combine this to investigate."

So, at midnight, the two of them sneaked out through the railing next to the dormitory building and reached the data room.

Jinpei Matsuda types very quickly. His ten slender fingers fly across the keyboard, inputting the key words one by one. Kenji Hagiwara stands beside him, giving him pointers from time to time. The two work in perfect harmony and soon narrow down the scope.

"It was at least three years ago. Judging from the damage to the rainy doll, it could have been even earlier." Hagiwara Kenji said, "Toru typing sometimes brings out less commonly used characters. I remember that it was more commonly used in the southern part of Ekoda Town."

Matsuda Jinpei: "I know, I know. I still think it's useless to check this..."

After pressing "Enter", a report screen popped up - "Fire at the Jianggutian Ancient House".

The dilapidated house looked particularly desolate and was imprinted in the files as a permanent painful memory.

The two people's attention was attracted by the small words below.

"The fire was caused by a gas explosion. The Chiyoya couple and their daughter were all killed."

"A family of three..." Matsuda Jinpei thought slowly.

Hagiwara Kenji continued: "...No one survived?"

The two looked at each other, and saw confusion and surprise in each other's eyes.

If it was Chiyodani Toru's family, then it shouldn't be a "family of three, a couple and a daughter" and "no survivors", but if it wasn't his family, then this is quite a coincidence.

They slid down quickly, trying to find the picture, but in the end they only found the death certificates of three people. The girl named "Chiyoya Saori" did die ten years ago.

From beginning to end, there is no mention of Chiyodani Toru's existence.

They didn't know when their hearts started beating so fast, and they felt a mixture of relief and fear.

"This matter... I don't think I can ask Toru directly, right?" After a while, Matsuda Jinpei said dryly, "It probably has nothing to do with him."

Hagiwara Kenji: "Maybe he's a relative? ... Never mind."

It's impossible to say that they are relatives. The family records show that all the relatives except for each other are blank.

The two of them looked at the child on the death certificate who looked 50% like Chiyodani Toru and fell silent. 】

The author has something to say:

You can think of Wasai and Toru as two aliases. Toru has a dedicated (tragic) plot line, and Wasai is the director, and has already written the script~
