"Are you done, Toru?"
Hagiwara Kenji was halfway through working on a question when he looked up and discovered that the black-haired boy in the first row had stopped working.
Chiyodani Toru held his cheek with one hand, and his fair face was slightly bulged by his action, which made it look rounder and felt very good. He pulled his sleeves over the back of his hands and tilted his head, which was barely blocking the sun.
The black-haired boy had already started spinning a pen out of boredom with his other hand. The sunlight slanted in from the window, casting a thin layer of gold on his eyelashes - blocking out the loneliness.
Kenji Hagiwara wanted to laugh when he saw his clumsy way of shielding his sun, but when he thought about the information he had looked up in the evening, he couldn't laugh.
There is always a very strange atmosphere around Chiyodani Toru, warm and polite, but with a subtle sense of alienation, as if he is communicating with people through an umbrella and a layer of mist. People can't see his expression under the umbrella, but they just feel that he is warmer than the mist.
Summary: It’s easy to get close to someone, but it’s hard to make deep friends.
If we want to know what is bothering him and how to resolve it, we still have a long way to go.
Hearing Hagiwara Kenji's voice, Chiyoya Sayori raised her hand to make an "OK" gesture, then turned around and looked at Furuya Rei with a smile.
The blond young man couldn't help but write faster, but he was still clearly two or three questions short. His usually calm face now showed a rare hint of unwillingness to admit defeat.
"This speed is too fast!" Matsuda Jinpei, who was writing his self-review alone but looked up from time to time to see others doing their homework, complained, "Toru, tell me the truth, did you do it?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the half-finished exercises he still had and sighed: "Forget it, I surrender!"
Kenji Hagiwara had already laid down. He smiled and went over to look at Date Kou's notebook, and found that the latter was almost finished.
"Everyone is so fast, by then only Xiao Zhenping will be the only one who hasn't done his homework~"
Matsuda Jinpei: "Huh?? You blame me? It's Furuya..."
Fūya Rei turned to look at him, smiling darkly: "Matsuda, have you finished writing your self-review?"
"It's almost time. I can't even keep up the good work of flattering the foreigner - I've even written about his huge stature and ability to swallow elephants!"
Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyes widened: "Is this an exaggeration?"
Matsuda Jinpei complained: "It's just exaggeration... and you golden-haired bastard, if you lose to Toru, just admit it and don't blame me!"
Furuya shouted in front of his forehead: "Curly-haired gorilla, don't be so self-indulgent!"
Does the sum of the mental ages of these two people amount to an adult?
Chiyoya Hayori was trying not to laugh. She held up her notebook and said, "Didn't you guys read my notebook?"
"Oh yeah, a notebook." Ida Kou recalled what he saw in the hospital, "So Toru, you actually did it."
Chiyotani Saori smiled and nodded: "I wanted to say it, but Furuya shouted start too quickly."
She shrugged in mock regret, but the cunning in her eyes was not concealed.
Furuya Rei put down his pen helplessly, feeling that he had simply dug a hole for himself...
He was so stupid, really. How could he forget that Chiyodani Toru and his family had already completed their preparatory work long ago? These were all new knowledge to them, and the latter might have already mastered them.
Tsk, it looks like he needs to work harder...
"I'll take it easy this time." Furuya Ling sighed, his desire to win burning. "I'll accept the defeat and promise you one thing."
"Then it seems that we are the same." Morobushi Kagemitsu touched his chin, "What a shame, I can't compete with Toru next time."
Hagiwara Kenji burst out laughing: "Little Morofushi, you jumped into the pit on your own initiative!"
Zhu Fu Jingguang had no choice but to surrender.
For a while, only Jinpei Matsuda, who was still struggling and reflecting on his mistakes, escaped.
Chiyoya Saori thought about it. Although she was tempted to have a few people write a self-review for her, her handwriting would definitely not pass the test of Instructor Onizuka... No! Why did she agree to write so many self-reviews?!
Chasing this horrible intuition out of her mind, Chiyoya Hayori shook her head and wrote, "Save it for now."
"Let me make it clear first, don't be too deceptive." Furuya Rei added, "I don't necessarily mean I will lose the next exam."
Very good, the fighting spirit is aroused!
56.
Police academy students can enter and leave the school freely or apply for off-campus accommodation one month after they have enrolled. If they go out now, they must return within the specified time.
In order not to waste time, a few people generously accompanied Chiyoya Saori to the canteen to buy bread for lunch.
Because of her throat problem, Chiyoya Sayori was forced to buy a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, which she ate reluctantly.
Beika-cho 3-chome is not far from here, but instead of going directly to see psychiatrist Masato Somura, the few people planned to first look for a patient who had been treated by Masato Somura last month.
The scheduling dates at that time were all very normal, with one at the beginning, middle and end of the month.
Because the case was related to a girl, several people chose a family in a high-end apartment in Sanchome. The patient they went to treat was 22-year-old Nohara Tamako, a writer and single.
She made an appointment to see Masato Somura for treatment due to anxiety and insomnia at the end of the month, and there has been no special movement so far.
It is now eleven o'clock. Six of us got on the bus, ready to finish our work quickly and try to get back by two-thirty to attend the afternoon class.
Hagiwara Kenji lamented, "Why can't I drive during school hours? The buses are so slow and boring."
"We'll have a chance later, there's no rush." Matsuda Jinpei hurriedly worked in the car and said casually, "Besides, with your driving skills, I'm afraid that you'll break Toru's wounds!"
Hagiwara Kenji: "?? I'm not that scary!"
Chiyogaya Saori, whose wound was called out again, was browsing the forum in her spare time and didn't pay attention to what others were saying.
Morofushi Jingguang was sitting nearby, and frowned inwardly when he saw the black-haired boy's slightly dazed and listless look.
Toru is not really used to being in an environment with so many people...
57.
[Hahahaha! How could I possibly see Matsuda writing a self-review? I thought he would just brush it off.]
[He doesn't write Toru first to dark shark him (licking blood from the knife)]
[Hagiwara is so good at writing self-reviews. What did he do in the past? Damn, I really want to see Jingguang’s self-review. It must be written very well.]
[I am different. I want to see Toru’s. It will definitely be awesome!]
Chiyoya Saori looked at the cute customer service representative standing beside her. The latter snorted with tears in his eyes and pretended to blow on his fingers.
It was a review, but it was a "true feeling" content that the customer service was forced to write, and she was just responsible for copying it down... ahem.
[There’s actually such a thing as a writing competition? You’re such a nerd (pointing and gesturing)]
[Zero's desire to win is actually very strong, I feel like he will have to fight with Toru for the title of "No. 1" sooner or later]
[Furiya Rei is a genius at making cheesy diners. I don’t think Toru can compare to him.]
[There's really nothing I can do about genius, but Toru has a high EQ! Everyone has their own strengths]
[Want to bet? Who will win between Toru and Zero?]
[Hiss——I still need to choose? Of course Zero wins, he’s the only genius announced so far! I’m going all in!]
[Che Bao has always been a top student, it must be him, follow him!]
[Can I follow suit and give a shot to the Asahi group? Hiro and Toru each have one vote!]
[Matsuda, Hagiwara!] [I laughed so hard. Matsuda was eliminated without participating in the competition!]
Chiyoya Saori almost couldn't contain her expression as she looked at the exciting opening information on the page.
So are all the forum users just a bunch of gamblers?
The content that will be revealed by turning the next page is highly anticipated, and no one has spoiled it yet!
She decided that if she had the power to speak in the future, she would definitely become a scumbag.
[The afternoon sun was shining brightly. The black-haired boy made a circle of "OK" with his slender white fingers. He tilted his head slightly, his dark gray eyes full of confidence and smiles.
A bubble appeared on the head of Furuya who was writing beside him. "What a mistake!"
[!!! toru——Awesome!]
[Fuck, is this another cheater? How can Chiyodani Toru be so powerful after skipping a few days of classes?]
[Let me tell you, I already said that he is a top student, so he is not necessarily worse than Zero]
[This is unscientific! There is no way that Furuya Zero can lose. The old thief is too biased!]
The comments kept going on until the notebook reappeared. The black-haired boy had carefully prepared notes, which were so comprehensive and detailed that even the information had an index page for notes. Not to mention the basic question types in class, the subsequent advanced content was also taken into consideration.
Fūya Rei threw his hands up and admitted defeat, a blazing fire ignited behind him. He was determined to take extra classes and get more points when he returned, and he was determined to do even better.
The comments were so noisy that I was dumbfounded.
[Help...Zero is going to double up? He won't really evolve to the point where he can even build a Gundam, right?]
[In fact, 0 multiplied by any number equals 0, (dog head) Give up Zero, just let Toru roll alone! ]
[I understand. This time the Red team will definitely win. How can the winery survive? The two kings of rolling rolls will die. I want to hold on to Hagi tightly——]
[Although Hagi seems to be slacking off all the time, he has very good grades!]
[I don’t know why, but I want to learn from you]
[Excuse me, do you want this set of Wu San? Or this set of Huang Gang? (pat on the shoulder)]
[I understand. This is the old thief telling us a truth. Talent is important, but hard work is also important. God will not let you down if you work hard. I have failed! (Cosmic Cat Sublimation.jpg)]
[I am convinced. It is normal for Chiyodani Toru to win after working so hard. But Zero was only two questions behind. I guess we will tie next time.]
[To be honest, I think the diligent type smells better (embarrassed)]
[I agreed to a condition from Toru, but didn't explain it to him right away... Hey, why do I feel like the flag is standing up?]
[Damn, knife damn!]
Chiyoya Saori flipped the page further and finally saw the content she had always wanted to see.
She had always been curious about what Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda were up to, but the comics were serialized in the order of progress, and they were released slowly after her daily life in the police academy was completed.
Sure enough, it was the background about "Chiyodani Toru" that she had started laying long ago, and the mixture of truth and falsehood made it seem more real.
However, Chiyoya Saori initially thought that it was discovered by Morofushi Kagemitsu or Furuya Rei who often went to check information, but she didn't expect it to be Hagiwara Kenji.
Hagi is such a considerate guy...
But why did Jinpei Matsuda stay up late at night to make a sound device for her?
Chiyoya Saori was a little surprised and subconsciously looked up at Matsuda Jinpei.
The latter was spinning the hanging ring on the bus boredly, his curly hair wafting with the bumps of the vehicle, and he looked like a troublemaker.
He was sitting in his seat just now, but now he stands up and moves restlessly.
Seeing the black-haired boy looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze, Matsuda Jinpei subconsciously untied the ring and said, "I've finished my legal homework!"
Chiyotani Saori: “?”
"Pfft..." Hagiwara Kenji who was sitting nearby laughed, "Jinping, do you think Toru is your homeroom teacher?"
Matsuda Jinpei realized what he had blurted out and his face immediately turned red. He shouted, "I just happened to think of this! Hagi, what are you talking about?"
Furuya Rei followed with a laugh, almost making Matsuda Jinpei angry.
Morobushi Kagemitsu tried hard not to laugh so loudly, and sighed: "But when Toru doesn't smile, it's really oppressive to look at people."
"I remember that at the police station, Toru raised his opinion with a frown on his face, but Officer Takada saluted subconsciously."
"Is this the gift?" Yi Dahang gestured, his face full of interest.
Chiyoya Saori turned her head away and looked out the window at the sky. Thinking about this, it was a bit socially dead.
Fortunately, comics don’t draw everything!!
"Hahahaha!" Furiya Rei laughed and put his hands on the back of the car. "In the future, Toru will become a detective. He will definitely be very intimidating to criminals. That's a good thing."
Chiyoya Saori nodded, agreeing with this point of view.
But she didn't really plan to be a detective. If she followed the same path as the squad leader, it would be hard to gain attention, and the others...
Thinking about the increasingly difficult plot in the future, Chiyoya Saori wanted to sigh.
Matsuda Jinpei rubbed his face to ease the embarrassment and sat back in his seat.
He took out a bottle of mineral water from the bag behind him and handed it to Chiyoya Saori: "If you are carsick, just open the window and drink some water to calm down."
Chiyoya Saori took the water, feeling a little confused.
When did she get carsick?
Morobushi Kagemitsu showed a look of understanding: "Toru, don't try to hold on if you're carsick. Drink some water and close your eyes for a while. We'll call you when we get there."
Chiyoya Saori: “???” Did she hold on?
"You seem to be in a daze just now. Why don't you just go to sleep?" Yi Dahang in front turned his head and said, "You can't be so exhausted while investigating a case!"
Chiyoya Hayori: "..."
She recalled the comments made by the comic book netizens when she was reading the forum in the hospital.
Oh no, are there more weird settings?
60.
[Wow! This plot is so exciting! One second I was thinking about a perverted doctor, and the next second it was seamlessly connected to a supernatural event?]
[How can there be a paranormal case in the world of science? This is not the area of jurisdiction of Brother Cao. However...Toru, who can summon spirits with a rain doll, suddenly became sick and is no longer as perfect as he seems - the evil master has become more lovable]
[He slowly puts away his sword, and almost accidentally hurts his allies. Pure perfection is abnormal, right? I already knew that there must be a big hole in Toru's life experience. It's hard to say whether the Chiyogaya family is really dead, but it seems that he has a knot in his heart]
[It seems that Hagiwara and Matsuda are almost pale from fear. There is no wonder they all have dark circles under their eyes today. Anyone who sees this will not be able to sleep at night.]
[The comic has been drawn. Chiyotani Toru must be related to this fire, so... is Toru also being offered sacrifices by his parents? Shit, this is going to be terrible]
[This case happened ten years ago. If you really want to count it this way, then he has always been alone...]
[And I have no relatives, in this orphanage, help! QAQ]
[Maybe they will be adopted. And the girl named Zaowei, if they are twins, it is said that there may be a connection between them. Che is so afraid of heat and sun exposure. Is it because Zaowei died in the fire?]
[Blind students, there is another highlight! As we all know, the cases drawn by the police academy team later correspond to the past of the parties involved. So, the case that Toru encountered...]
[Serial murder, mind control, psychological problems?]
[!! This is not suitable for use as a cutting board! ]
61.
When the announcement on the bus sounded, Chiyoya Saori immediately opened her eyes and got off the bus with the five people, carrying a bottle of mineral water.
This station is a bit remote and you have to walk a while to get to the luxury apartment, which involves passing through two alleys.
April was not considered cold. Except for Morofushi Kagemitsu and Chiyodani Hayato, the other four were just wearing short sleeves and carrying bags, looking like it was summer.
Because it was past lunchtime, most students and workers had started to get busy, and there was nothing on the road except the bright sun.
Chiyoya Saori had no intention of showing her unsociable side, so she did not bring the black umbrella, but just consciously walked towards the shadows.
The young man who didn't like sunbathing was just glad that she could still wear long sleeves for a while.
However, before she knew it, the taller Date Kou was walking half a step behind Hagiwara Kenji, casting a shadow behind Chiyoya Sayori.
Chiyoya Saori subconsciously wanted to turn back, but Matsuda Jinpei patted her on the shoulder and said, "Hey, Toru, it's not appropriate for the six of us to go in and question together. How about we split into groups?"
Date Koudao: "You can also ask your neighbors about Nohara Tamako's changes."
"If we go to look for Nohara Tamako, we should choose someone who looks kind." Furuya Rei said, "Shall I, Hiro, and Toru go?"
Matsuda Jinpei was surprised: "What? You call yourself kind?"
Rei Furuya: "Am I not kind enough?"
Hagiwara Kenji laughed out loud: "In the eyes of girls, Kouya is a mixed-race, cool, and academic master! The word kind doesn't fit him."
Chiyoya Saori nodded.
Seven years later, Toru Amuro is indeed gentle and kind, but now Rei Furuya is sharp and has the arrogance of a young man in his eyes.
The transition in between was just the death news of the same period, plus Bourbon.
"Even Toru said that." Furuya Rei shrugged, "Then I'd better go and ask questions."
The final plan was as follows: Chiyoya Saori, Morofushi Kagemitsu, and Hagiwara Kenji, as police academy students, went to ask Nohara Tamako about Somura Masato.
Date Ko, Matsuda Jinpei and Furuya Rei went to ask their neighbors about the changes in Nohara Tamako over the past half month.
"Onitsuka Squad, let's go!" said Date Kou in a deep voice.
"yes!"
62.
The environment of the high-end apartment is very good, with an independent garden area and high security from the security guard. Several people had to show their ID cards and have their identities verified before being allowed in.
Kenji Hagiwara pressed the elevator button for the 35th floor and said casually, "By the way, Toru, when was your ID photo taken? Your face looks so young."
Chiyoya Saori: “It was filmed three years ago, so there’s really no difference, right?”
"No no no, Toru looks more handsome now!"
Hagiwara Kenji smiled and boasted: "Ah~ Toru-chan is so beautiful, I am moved. By the way, do you have any sisters at home who can introduce her to me?"
Furuya Rei complained: "Hagi, when will you be serious?"
Jinpei Matsuda: "Don't be fooled by Hagi's laughter all the time. He actually has a sister who is also very beautiful."
"It's just because my sister and I look a lot like each other, so I just asked casually."
Kenji Hagiwara seemed to be asking casually, but he and Matsuda understood each other's meaning through eye contact. They looked at Toru Chiyodani who was standing on the inside of the elevator with a notebook in his hand.
The latter's faint smile faded slightly, leaving only a barely noticeable curve at the corner of his mouth, seeming a little bitter.
But soon, he lowered his head and wrote: "Yes, I have a sister too."
"But, Hagiwara, forget it!" The black-haired boy drew a fluttering cross on the notebook.
It really exists!
Hagiwara Kenji's breathing hitched and he felt his heart beating very fast.
He pretended to be heartbroken: "Damn it, don't be so stubborn, after all, Toru's looks really meet my aesthetic standards, I think I can develop a relationship with my sister."
"No, you can't." Date Ko said coldly, "Don't bully Toru, now let's consider the case!"
Morobushi Kagemitsu also agreed: "Yanji, you should be more restrained."
Jinpei Matsuda looked at his childhood sweetheart's acting skills which suddenly dropped and scratched his hair in dismay.
Hagi, hagi, if it doesn’t work, let him take over!
Kenji Hagiwara was KO'd by everyone.
Just then, the elevator reached the 35th floor, and several people swarmed out. Hagiwara Kenji stood next to Chiyoya Sayori and whispered, "I'm sorry, Toru. I went a little too far with my joke just now."
Chiyoya Saori shook her head to show that she didn't care.
Regarding the matter of "Chiyodani Toru", due to her character setting, she couldn't take the initiative to explain it so quickly, but in the end, Kenji Hagiwara had already got it, so it can be considered a victory!
She couldn't thank me enough!
However, Chiyoya Saori was also very curious. Could the case she encountered really be connected to the background she had thought of in advance?
The other three people who were in charge of questioning the neighbors hid aside to make room for themselves.
“Ding Dong—Ding Dong—”
Yu Morofushi Kagemitsu rang the doorbell, and when it rang for the second time, the door opened a crack from the inside.
A deep, hoarse female voice sounded: "Who are you looking for?"
Morobushi Kagemitsu took up his ID and said, "Hello, is this Ms. Nohara Tamako? We are students from the police academy and have been visiting Dr. Masato Somura's clinic. Did you make an appointment for his treatment at the end of last month? We would like to know the follow-up situation."
Nohara Tamako just took a look through the crack of the door and did not reveal herself, but after learning the purpose of the visit, she relaxed her guard a little.
"Cooperation?" She repeated, her voice somewhat surprised. "Did Doctor Zongcun ask you to come? Wait a minute, my room is a bit messy."
She closed the door again, and several people heard the "thump thump" sound of bare feet running on the wooden floor.
"Something is not right..." Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned.
Hagiwara Kenji nodded and said, "Yes, that guy named Soumura is indeed a big problem! You should have smelled it too, right?"
Chiyoya Saori nodded, then she put away her smile and looked cold.
After Nohara Tamako opened the door, the smell that wafted out was - the smell of blood.
What is she doing?
