Chapter 17

Zhufu Jingguang watched Chao Ri Xi Qiu grab the watermelon vine and jump down.

He didn't even have time to persuade or grab the other party, and the "wait a minute" in his throat hadn't come out yet -

The figure disappeared from the window.

Thick smoke rolled in, and the gray-black dust almost obscured everything visible. Morofushi Jingguang knew that he could no longer hesitate, and there was no time to check more situations.

He hugged Wai Shouyi, who had fainted from inhaling too much smoke, and jumped out of the second-floor window!

Morofu Jingguang trusted his friends, and the four police academy students lived up to their trust and successfully used the raised awning to catch the two people.

The impact of jumping off the building was greatly alleviated, and Morofu Jingguang rolled half a circle on the ground. Apart from feeling a little dizzy, he suffered no other injuries.

He held his head and stood up. The first thing he said was, "...did the man get down safely?"

The smoke was too heavy, and the blazing fire blurred his vision. Morofushi Jingguang only knew that the other party swung the watermelon vine down, but he didn't see what happened next.

You know, watermelon vines are not strong and cannot support the weight of an adult. Morofushi Jingguang knew this very well.

That person's behavior was no different from jumping off a building - he wouldn't die if he jumped from the second floor, but he would inevitably break arms and legs, so he had to be rescued as soon as possible!

Zhu Fu Jingguang fell to the ground and rolled over, then he quickly glanced around, but he did not find any other traces on the ground nearby.

There was no blood and no people.

"What happened?" Yi Dahang wanted to quickly unfold the tarpaulin and prepare for the next rescue, but he was stunned for half a second after hearing this, "The person in the room just now jumped down in front of you? But we didn't see anyone else."

"He..." Zhu Fujingguang paused, "He just grabbed the watermelon vine outside the window and jumped down."

"Huh?" Matsuda Jinpei responded subconsciously, "No way, you grabbed something like that and jumped off the building? Did you lose your mind in desperation?"

"No, he was very sober. It was his own choice to leave the window to me." Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head, frowned slightly, and said carefully, "During the explosion... he didn't seem nervous at all, and after the explosion, he stood up from under the cover very calmly. After he finished explaining his instructions, he climbed through the window without hesitation."

He did not give a particularly subjective evaluation, but simply described the scene at that time. However, his words already had a certain judgmental tendency.

Hagiwara Kenji placed one hand on his chin, his eyes drooping slightly, and thought: "Come to think of it, I seemed to have caught a glimpse of a figure in the air just now...but the smoke was too thick to see clearly, and it disappeared quickly. I thought it was an illusion caused by the heat wave."

The four of them held up the awning and looked up to see what was happening above, so that if anyone jumped out of the window, they could step forward to catch them.

Hagiwara Kenji recalled. If the figure he had caught a glimpse of was not an illusion, then the figure that flashed by in the thick smoke was not jumping out directly, but more like... floating in the air?

Floating in mid-air? Here, Hagiwara Kenji paused for a moment. This situation is not impossible.

Normal people would never choose to climb downstairs by holding on to a watermelon vine, and a normal watermelon vine cannot support the weight of an adult. So, the watermelon vine must be just an excuse, a heartless excuse.

So - in reality, Asahi was using something like a launching hook that he carried with him!

Therefore, they can escape from the fire by climbing out the window without fear, and can also fly up in the air and land on the other side where they cannot see.

As Kenji Hagiwara followed this line of thought, his thinking became smoother and clearer.

That makes sense. Since Asahi was able to subdue Gai Shouyi without any effort, he must have noticed the bomb inside the room.

The reason why he was so calm and unmoved at the time was because he had already prepared an escape plan and there was no need for additional bomb defusing.

Yeah, so... Hagiwara Kenji still put his right fist on his lips. Who is the other party?

Furuya Rei sorted out the clues in his childhood friend and Hagiwara's conversation in his mind, and his expression was focused. After a moment, he seemed to suddenly think of something and suddenly asked: "By the way, Hagiwara, what does the Asahi you mentioned look like?"

Just now, Furuya Rei did not go upstairs. He evacuated the nearby people and dealt with the bomb downstairs with Matsuda Jinpei. So he did not know what the hostage upstairs looked like.

In fact, it should be Hagiwara and Matsuda who should have teamed up to defuse the bomb, but Hagiwara Kenji was the first person to come into contact with the case, and he was suspicious, so he went upstairs to confirm the situation of the hostages.

Time was running out, and when Kenji Hagiwara hurried back, he only had time to explain Gai Moriichi's situation, and did not have enough time to describe the appearance of others in detail.

Only when he was asked about it did he answer, "Hmm? It's the guy on the bus I mentioned last time - his full name is Chaori Xiqiu. He has reddish brown hair, a pair of deep golden fox eyes, and the corners of his lips are curved upwards."

“Is it him?!”×2

As soon as Hagiwara Kenji said this, he received unanimous responses from Furuya Rei and Matsuda Jinpei.

The two looked at each other.

Furuya Rei spoke first: "I saw him at the door on the first day of school. He subdued the knife-wielding robber. His movements were very swift."

Matsuda Jinpei continued, "Ah, I saw him in the office on the first day of school for freshmen. He was chatting with the clerk there, and I initially thought he was going to beat up the Superintendent as well."

"Hmm..." Yi Dahang pondered for a while, and then added, "Come to think of it, I seem to have a little impression. It was also the first day of school. I saw someone walking out of the school gate with a suitcase, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances - it should be the person in the room today."

They looked at each other, and it occurred to them that they had seen each other before.

"What's going on?" Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyebrows. "He was our classmate? But why did that guy walk out on the first day of school? And I haven't seen him since then! Did he drop out?"

"I don't think he's a freshman at the police academy." Hagiwara Kenji continued, winking with his purple eyes. "If freshmen are this good, they really don't need to go to school."

"..." Furuya Rei looked far away, lowered his voice, and said slowly, "It might be a senior from the police academy... He said some rather obscure code words to me."

Although it was rather strange, it was probably a code word. Rei Furuya still vaguely remembered the series of words the other party had said, and later combined with the other party's behavior, he also read deeply and understood it.

"Undercover?" Morobushi Jingguang quickly followed his childhood friend's train of thought, "So he is a senior police officer who is conducting a secret investigation? A plainclothes policeman."

"Ah, that makes sense." Matsuda Jinpei nodded in affirmation. He spread his hands, "After all, it's impossible for an ordinary citizen to coincidentally encounter so many events - the police academy gate, the bus, and the outer guard laundry."

"Indeed. So he must have noticed the crime clues in advance and followed them." Ida Hang concluded.

Hagiwara Kenji did not answer. In comparison, he spent the most time with Asahi Yuaki.

At this moment, he was recalling the aura that the man had inadvertently revealed.

A senior from the police academy in a latent state...is that the aura of an ordinary plainclothes policeman?

Chao Ri Xi Qiu was staggering along the road. He had just come down from the watermelon vines and was still a little dazed.

The watermelon vine was not firmly attached to the water pipe at all. As the sun set, it began to fall off. It was really scary at that time.

——Luckily, the watermelon vine was still connected to the thicker watermelon vine on the other side. Chaori Xiqiu swayed past it with the force of gravity and then flew up due to inertia.

There were sharp explosions in his heart, and he loosened and tightened his grip repeatedly, swinging on the green melon vine like Tarzan, and finally landed safely.

The moment I landed, my heart, which had been hanging in the air for a long time, finally let go.

Wuwu is still alive! Forgive you, Watermelon, you are a good thing!

Because there were so many watermelon vines entangled with each other, Chao Ri Xi Qiu didn't know where he was. He looked back and saw thick smoke rising to the sky not far away, and then he realized that he had unknowingly walked to the street behind the house.

Asahi Yuqiu glanced at the barrage. The camera didn't seem to be on him, but the main storyline still gave him a sense of presence from a distance.

[The five members of the police academy started discussing. They have all met Asahi before. Tsk tsk.]

[It turns out that every shot that the official gave to Asahi before had a meaning. I thought those were just comedy plots.]

[Asahi is being naughty again in the previous scene, and actually said that he wants to go down holding the watermelon vine]

[The screenshot just paused my h*iro's confused face! Cats are cute

[To be honest, Hagiwara's mental thinking scenes are kind of cool, so why not give Asahi a shot of swinging on a rope! I want to see the Spider-Man or Batman version of the giant fox! ]

Chaori Xiqiu: "..."

Sorry, if you want to watch it, the only movie here is Tarzan.

The comments were too dense and many people were a little slow in posting, so they were still discussing previous things.

The translucent words piled up together. Chao Ri Xi Qiu stared at them with wide eyes, but he was distracted for a moment and didn't pay attention to the road.

His feet suddenly tripped, and Chao Ri Xi Qiu was thrown forward again!

——Such a familiar touch, such a familiar feeling!!

This was the first thought that came to Chaori Xiqiu's mind.

He seemed to be tripped by something round again.

There was a black car parked on the street ahead. Chao Ri Xi Qiu, who had fallen over it, hurriedly adjusted his body in mid-air, and finally slapped it with one hand to barely hold on, avoiding being hit by the car.

He gasped, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of what had tripped him - a watermelon growing out of a crack in the brick.

...I knew it was Xigua who was plotting against him again!

Chaori Xiqiu: The forgiveness just now is gone.

He will never forgive, never!!

My hand slammed heavily on the car body due to my imbalance, and my wrist hurt and my palm was swollen and burning. I wanted to raise my hand and blow on myself.

But before that, he took a look at the car in front of him.

The black car in front of me looks like a Porsche, and judging by its appearance, it seems to be quite expensive.

Asahi Yuqiu was silent.

OMG, I hope the owner is not around, I hope the owner won’t be too difficult.

Don't ever damage someone else's car. Even if there is just a scratch, he can't afford the loss even if he sells himself!
