Chapter 2929
Kitamura Kazuhisa still had the bag of watermelon rinds in his hand. He looked up at the figure at the window on the third floor.
The fragmented and shattered glass cut the sunlight, reflecting scattered silhouettes. The young man with fox eyes stood there.
Kitamura Kazuhisa clenched the plastic bag in his hand.
He originally guessed that there was some secret hidden in these things that looked like watermelon rinds, so he took them away deliberately, intending to wait for Chao Ri Xi Qiu to come alone, and then slowly "recount the story".
But when he walked a distance, he didn't see anyone behind him, and then he realized that Asahi was not following him.
...What do you mean? You don't care what's hidden inside, you don't care at all? ?
Kitamura Kazuhisa was in disbelief at first, and then thoughts popped into his mind one after another.
Could it be that this thing is really just an ordinary watermelon?
The famous J of Plum Blossom was cutting, selling and eating melons on the street... What a joke!!
Kitamura Kazuhisa's smile twisted for a moment, and his thoughts wavered. He originally wanted to throw away the garbage bag containing the watermelon rinds, but then he thought, if there was any secret, he would just throw it away.
The face of the young man with fox eyes appeared in front of him, and Kitamura Kazuhisa always inevitably recalled the night of the fire in the snow.
The pain and regret of losing his sister, the confusion of being rescued and given freedom but then being abandoned, turned into a vague hatred that was more like an emotional sustenance - concentrated on that person.
"..." Kitamura Kazuhisa took a few deep breaths, tied his light gray hair with a strawberry hair tie again, and finally made a decision.
——Go back. He wanted to see what the other party was doing now.
Thinking of this, Kitamura Ichi-Fan steadily picked up the watermelon rinds, turned around silently, and walked back the way he came.
Then, he followed them all the way, watching the fox-eyed youth and the elementary school student chatting happily, and finally the three of them happily kicked a football together in the open space. It was like a heartwarming cartoon designed for children aged 5 to 10.
Kazuhisa Kitamura:?
Everything before his eyes was so magical that Kitamura Kazuhisa didn't know what expression he should make.
But he still felt that everything should not be simple!
In order to avoid being discovered, Kitamura Kazuhisa kept a distance from them. He only saw Asahi Yuaki chatting happily with the elementary school students, but he couldn't hear the specific content.
So, taking advantage of Chao Ri Xi Qiu's absence, he walked out leisurely, acting as if he appeared "by chance", intending to simply trick the elementary school student.
The opening was a series of well-timed small talk. As a psychology teacher at Teitan Elementary and Junior High School, Kitamura Kazuha knew how to start.
Even though the two kids in front of him were much smarter than most of the people he usually came into contact with, he could still try to ask them questions.
When he had almost created the atmosphere and was about to try to extract some key information, he saw two elementary school students beside him turning towards the building at the same time.
"Brother Asahi--" Shinichi and Ran waved and called out.
Damn it, how could it be interrupted at such a coincidence? ! Kitamura raised his head subconsciously.
His first reaction was: Could it be that the other party had already noticed me, and the series of actions just now were deliberate, with the purpose of luring me out?
The J of Clubs has been secretly watching him from the top of the building, waiting to step forward at the most critical moment.
Even more boldly, maybe the other party had anticipated my psychological changes and knew that I would not just throw away these secret objects that looked like watermelon rinds, but would take them with me.
The more Kitamura Kazuhisa thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth, and he pursed his lips straight.
...Is this the plan of the elite of that organization? Maybe even the rumor that he was executed for betrayal was spread deliberately.
He looked up.
The clouds overhead happened to crack, and the beam of light cast down obliquely hit the figure near the window. It was bright enough for people to see the curve of the fox-eyed young man's lips, which vaguely revealed some fleeting meaning.
Kitamura Kazuhisa felt embarrassed at being teased.
He avoided her gaze, refused to interact with her, picked up the watermelon rind in the plastic bag, turned around and left.
Okay, okay, he will go back and study the secret of the watermelon rind in this bag! When he cracks it, he will expose it and will never keep it secret to that arrogant fox! !
Kitamura Kazuhisa left with a great desire for revenge.
Upstairs, there was indeed a smile on Chao Ri Xi Qiu's lips.
He basked in the warm sunshine, and when he thought about the new watermelon products that could be developed in the future, he was full of expectations for the future, and even his fear of the bomb dissipated a lot.
Catching a glimpse of Doctor Kitamura hurriedly leaving with the watermelon rind in his hand, Chao Ri Xi Qiu was still sighing in his heart: It seems that watermelon rind still has its charm, as it seems that he can't wait to go back and eat it.
Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction, even the progress of bomb dismantling revealed by the bullet screen.
[Wuwuhagi is so awesome!! He actually managed to dismantle it successfully!!]
[With only limited tools and one movable hand, he was able to basically deal with this liquid bomb. This is our strongest Hagi! 】
[I have to say that Asahi is as steady and reliable as ever. It seems that nothing has gone beyond Asahi's plan. ]
Morning Sun and Evening Autumn:?
Everything that happened was beyond our plan.
[Indeed. In this dangerous situation, Asahi was still able to calmly stand by the window and wait for Hagi to defuse the bomb. He was not in a hurry at all. This mentality is really not something that ordinary people can have.]
【I am getting anxious outside the screen, but Asahi is not anxious at all】
[Perhaps this is the complete trust that the seniors have in the juniors. The will of the police academy is passed down from generation to generation (thumb) (thumb) (thumb)]
Chaori Xiqiu: "..."
When the fish is anxious, the water knows.
I was anxious, who knew.
Who said he wasn't anxious? He was so anxious that he almost drank syrup!
Also, even though they dropped out of school, they are still passing on this stuff!!
It’s all the camera’s fault - a deflected camera at that time made people regret it for a year afterwards.
Asahi Yuaki has already started thinking about whether or not to go back to the police academy and re-perform the skit "Dropping Out of School" to capture the key points that the camera missed.
But he changed his mind and thought: Oh no, that would mean I've just walked into the main plot's trap... I had finally escaped, so I didn't want to go in again.
So I gave up.
Although Asahi Yuaki has already dropped out of school, to be honest, he still feels like he has "quit but not completely quit."
I see police academy students every day, run into all kinds of criminals when I go out, and even become a non-existent police academy senior without knowing why...
Chaori Xiqiu smelled the lingering scent of the main plot master.
But soon, Asahi Xiqiu's inner complaints were diverted by another incident, and he caught a glimpse of the new bullet screen floating out from behind.
[Did Pramiya notice the situation in the building? Why did she suddenly start assembling a gun on the spot? ? ]
[Oh my god, beautiful sister, please let me go!! What a big grudge, why do you want to kill me so quickly QAQ]
[You can skip the previous part. It was mentioned in an earlier episode that the five police academy students happened to stop one of Pramiya's plans. I guess she came for revenge this time.]
[Oh my god, I understand! The reason why Asahi stood by the window so abruptly must be because he guessed what Pramya would do next! ]
[But what's the point of standing by the window? My body can't block the bullets, and this clothing doesn't look like the thickness of a bulletproof vest? ]
[It must be a scientific high-tech thin bulletproof vest - don't forget that Asahi is a plainclothes policeman carrying out a special mission, so of course he can't be seen by others! ]
Asahi Yuqiu: ???
His eyes widened from the moment he saw the word "gun", and by the end he felt his whole body hard.
Thanks for the invitation. I have no bulletproof vest. I am just a layer of righteousness and skin.
If you dare to hit him, he will die in front of you!
Asahi Yuaki screamed in her heart. No, sister, what a huge grudge!
He simply couldn't imagine his quiet and gentle neighbor opening fire with such brutality.
It was just like he couldn't imagine that one day a wild civet in the melon field would suddenly stand up on its legs and shoot at the melon owners, then shout "This melon field has already been contracted to me."
Chaori Xiqiu wanted to step back.
Anyway, the bombs have been dismantled and there is no way the other side can detonate them, so it's OK to just run inside, right?
As long as you avoid the opponent's aiming field of view, you can avoid the gun - the opponent should not dare to be too arrogant and use machine guns in the city.
But before he could make any move, the second half of the barrage stopped him in his tracks.
[Family! Asahi stood here on purpose, otherwise Pramia would have aimed directly at the liquid/bomb bottle inside.]
[Even though the bomb controls have been removed, explosives are still explosives, especially liquid bombs like this...]
[Ahhh, so that's how it is. The purpose of Pramiya itself is to have the bullet penetrate the two liquid bottles and then directly detonate them!!]
Chao Ri Xi Qiu's heart sank, his thoughts were one step ahead of his emotions, and he came to a rational conclusion.
No, I can't give way at this time. If I give way, it will be a real dead end!
Hagiwara Kenji's hands were tied, so he couldn't hold the two liquid bottles and evacuate. If he turned around to hold the liquid bottles, the movement would be too large, which would easily alarm Pramia, and he might not be able to escape in time.
…What should I do???
Chaori Xiqiu stretched his body tightly, and his thoughts were turning frantically in this limited space.
Following the wind, the children downstairs shouted: "Big brother - football -"
Shinichi was shouting from below, his arms raised high. Ran beside him was also waving slightly.
The two seemed to have been waiting for a long time, but their voices did not sound urgent. Rather than urging, it was more like a reminder.
Perhaps they were sensitive enough to realize that Asahi had not been here for a long time and that something must have happened to him.
Chao Hi Xi Qiu looked down at his two new friends downstairs and subconsciously hugged the football in his arms tightly. At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
At this time, he was not completely penniless... at least, he still had a high-quality football in his arms!
If he could kick Pramia, or at least distract her for a few seconds to dodge, he would be able to turn around and take the liquid bottle away.
As the sun sets, my spirit is focused and my heart begins to pound.
Although he is not very good at playing football, it doesn't matter. It is enough to have someone with good football skills on the scene...
——Yes, it’s Watermelon-kun!
Since it was Watermelon who kicked out the main plot, it should be responsible for it. As a high-quality watermelon, it can't just kill and not bury - this is a wild and unrealistic complaint.
The bullet screen revealed that Pramya was in a rather special position, and he had nothing more suitable than a football. Based on this, his brain had subconsciously analyzed a reasonable ejection route, which might be worth a try - this was an analysis that came to his mind instinctively.
In this special situation, there is no other way except to take the initiative to attack. No matter what, we can't just stand there and be a target!
There was no time to think, Chao Ri Xi Qiu's eyebrows were gathered, the corners of his eyes were raised, and there was a rare sharpness in his eyes.
He let the football fall, then stepped back slightly and kicked it with all his strength in the direction of the watermelon on the planned road!
Give me the ball, give me the shot, give me the rush!!!
Kenji Hagiwara finished the dismantling at hand and just as he let out a breath, he saw the person in front of him make an exaggerated kicking motion.
The black and white spherical object suddenly flew out, drawing a beautiful curve in the air, and hit the watermelon protruding from the building. It then unscientifically bounced off again, and its speed seemed even unscientifically fast.
Kenji Hagiwara:?
Before I could say anything, a loud "bang" was heard in the air!
It was a gunshot!!
His body froze for a moment, and then he noticed that the gun seemed to have missed the target, hitting the wall above, splashing wall powder all over the floor.
The brown-haired young man standing by the window let the wall powder fall without moving.
Not far away, there was a dull thud and the faint sound of something heavy falling to the ground, as if someone had been knocked unconscious by a football.
"..." Hagiwara Kenji was stunned for half a second, his expression showing astonishment. He had a very sharp mind, and in just a few breaths, he deduced everything that had happened before.
Pramiya. The bomber. The gun. The missed shot. The interrupted action. The foreseen stop.
...So this is why the other party stood over!
When Hagiwara Kenji saw the other person walking away, he thought that the other person was a little nervous, so he kept a distance from him and relaxed. Now it seems that his analysis was wrong.
Asahi is a much more thoughtful and far-sighted person than I thought.
After this incident, Kenji Hagiwara's doubts about Asahi's identity were largely dispelled.
He still remembered the gloomy and cold aura on the other side, but now he thought that it might be a part of the latent need.
Just like now, this person is hanging out with elementary school students and taking this opportunity to lurk close to them - Hagiwara Kenji made this information about elementary school students based on the shouting downstairs and the football upstairs.
He was now gradually leaning towards Kōtani's speculation, thinking that the person in front of him was most likely a senior from the police academy who was in a latent state and whose identity was kept secret.
At this moment, Hagiwara Kenji finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that everything was almost over. His anxious heart settled down along with his life.
He sat back, propped up his hands on the ground, and said in a light tone, "...Oh, it's really scary." The corners of his lips curled up, "Fortunately, you are here this time."
Asahi Xiqiu, who was frightened by the gun brush, finally came to his senses after hearing this. He turned his head in a second and shook off the wall powder on his clothes. He said seriously: "I am not your senior."
Hagiwara Kenji paused for a moment, blinked, and after a brief silence, he smiled again: "Sorry, I was abrupt... Well, since it was just you and me now, I just said a few more words casually. Don't worry, I won't mention it to others."
Chaori Xiqiu: "No, no, no, this is not a problem between you and me. The key is not that. The key is that I dropped out of school a long time ago."
——So you are not a senior at all!
"Yes." Hagiwara Kenji's eyebrows curved, his expression remained the same, and the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, "I understand."
——Plainclothes police have a special identity, so they must disguise themselves in the files. Even if there is a process for dropping out of school, it must be another layer of packaging.
Chaori Xiqiu: "..."
Mainline Master, look at what you have caused the police academy students to misunderstand. Come out and apologize! (Daily Criticism of Mainline Master 1/1)
Hagiwara Kenji held the iron chain with one hand. After the situation was resolved, he was not in a hurry to remove the things that bound him. He would call the police later, and the police would come with special tools.
But before that, there is one more thing that needs to be confirmed, and that is the bomber.
"You mentioned earlier that the other party's code name is Pramya... Do you need to go find her?"
Without giving a detailed explanation, Hagiwara Kenji conveyed his thoughts with his tone and eyes: It sounds like this is one of your latent mission targets. Does it require some special handling in advance?
Asahi Yuaki didn't pay attention to Hagiwara Kenji's expression. When he heard the other party mention "Pramya" and "go find her", his first reaction was: Oh, yes, I have to go pick up the ball.
The purpose of his coming to this building was to pick up the ball, so he couldn't be busy all the time and not achieve his original purpose!
Thinking of this, Chao Ri Xi Qiu did not stay any longer. He stood up and planned to walk through the short skywalk to the place where the football fell.
Through the barrage, Chao Ri Xi Qiu knew that Pramya had been knocked unconscious by a good ball, so it would be okay for him to pick up the ball now.
He walked quickly through the corridor and reached the rooftop opposite.
From a distance, he saw a woman lying on the ground wearing a bird-beak mask and revealing golden hair. Judging from her figure, it was Pramya.
But besides her, there was another figure lying on the ground.
He was a sturdy and slightly fat man wrapped in black. His sunglasses fell to his side and he was in a coma. His condition seemed to be more serious.
The football rolled to the edge of the roof - it seemed that the ball killed two birds with one stone, hitting one person and then another, knocking them both unconscious.
Chaori Xiqiu: Oh no, it’s an accident, it’s a passerby!
He quickly took a few steps over to check on the black-clad passerby on the ground.
The wind blew, and a very faint smell of cigarettes wafted through the air. Chao Ri Xi Qiu snorted, but his attention did not shift, and he was still in the process of rescuing innocent passers-by based on common sense.
Next to the rooftop gate, under the shadow cast by the convex wall, a familiar man with long silver hair walked out of the spiral staircase silently.
He walked up to the rooftop from the stairs below after hearing the noise coming from the rooftop.
Gin walked onto the rooftop.
As early as when he heard the gunshots and the sound of bodies hitting the ground, he was 200% alert, knowing that something might have gone wrong in the deal between Vodka and Pramiya.
——He hadn't planned to show up in person. This wasn't a large-scale alliance with representatives of another organization. A simple cooperation negotiation would only require vodka.
Unexpectedly, an accident happened.
The sound of police sirens outside came closer and closer. He narrowed his eyes and his expression suddenly became cold. He loaded the rifle in his left hand skillfully.
When he walked onto the rooftop, the first thing he saw was:
The fox-eyed young man half-knelt on the ground, performing CPR on Vodka's chest with both hands, and cried out in sorrow as he did so: "Brother, brother, wake up! I really didn't mean it!"
Gin: “…”
