/Mazda: @Beth, what do you know about Moon Shadow Island? /

/Beth: Why don't you tell me what you found out? /

/Mazda: Then I asked directly whether the case was related to the organization. /

/Beth: Have you investigated this far? You are indeed the one. /

/Mazda: Don't underestimate the police. By the way, as the leader of the White Alliance, you have always been under the police's pursuit. /

/Girls are the cutest: Xiao Zhenping actually said something like this, it feels like he has suddenly matured, and as a police officer, is it really okay to remind the other party like this? /

/Bass: Indeed./

/Girls are the cutest: Look, Beth has agreed. But, Beth, do you know Xiao Zhenping well? /

/Beth: I meant the latter sentence. Thanks for your reminder./

/Mazda: So, what do you know about Moon Shadow Island? /

/Beth: Just like your speculation, it was indeed the organization that did it. The victims had cooperated with the organization in drug transactions, and then something went wrong during the transaction and they were killed by the organization. /

/Mazda: The killer's code name is Grappa? /

/Beth: Your investigation progress has really exceeded my expectations. /

/Girls are the cutest: Before the captured member of the organization was taken away by the police, this was the only code name we got out. Xiao Zhenping and I were very sorry. /

/Bass: Then why do you think Grappa was responsible for the Moon Shadow Island incident? /

/Girls are the cutest: It seems to be true, thanks to Beth Boss for the information. /

/Bass: You guys are very good at using clichés. /

/Girls are the cutest: where is it~/

/Mazda: You obviously know a lot but you never say it, and you still call yourself a collaborator. /

/Beth: I am indeed wrong about this. I have my own selfish motives. Some things are not convenient for you to know now. /

/Mazda: We will know later. /

/Beth: But you guys don’t seem like the type to wait passively. /

/Girls are the cutest: You really understand us, Beth. Is this the willfulness of hackers? You can understand this level just through data. It's scary. /

/Beth: So where are you going to start? /

/Girls are the cutest: Of course, the people present. /

"So, Xiaokong, don't be so nervous. I will still drive well with the patient." Hagiwara Kenji smiled and looked at Noel who was sitting in the passenger seat and looked a little uneasy, and comforted him with a smile, and considerately helped him fasten his seat belt.

"So you didn't drive properly before?" Noel's body stiffened but he didn't avoid the other person to help fasten his seat belt. After hearing what Hagihara Kenji said, he asked with gritted teeth.

"Hahaha." Hagiwara Kenji laughed a few times, then completely ignored Noel's accusation, turned the key, stepped on the accelerator and drove decisively. Fortunately, as he said, he did not drive very fast.

"So he can drive the car normally." Noel numbly felt the overly stable riding environment. For a moment, his heart was full of complaints. He even felt that Hagiwara Kenji's image as the god of driving was OOC, as if Toru Amuro suddenly became white one day.

"After all, you give me the feeling that you will break if you are touched the slightest," Hagihara Kenji looked at Noel's pale face and asked, "So how did you go from being able to wear only a single layer of clothes to eat barbecue in the middle of the winter to being in such a state that you can't even stand?"

"I'm sick. Uncle, you're so annoying." Noel didn't want to talk more about this issue. He made up a universal excuse and stopped talking. He was not in a very good mood today and refused to talk to a weird uncle.

"So you're addicted to calling him that?" Hagiwara Kenji raised his eyebrows. If he wasn't driving, he would even want to physically ask the other party to change the name. He really couldn't accept this special name of uncle. It would be so disappointing if he was called like that in front of girls.

"A man should be honest about his age." Noel couldn't help but retort. It was hard to imagine that a character with such high emotional intelligence as Hagiwara Kenji could make Noel want to retort to him every time. It was hard not to wonder if he did it on purpose.

"Well, your tendency to be confrontational hasn't changed." Hagiwara Kenji said helplessly, "You seem to be very nice in front of those kids, but why are you like this in front of me? Your brother will be very sad, Xiaokong~"

Noel shuddered, and actually felt a hint of Toru Amuro in this extremely disgusting sentence. But Toru Amuro must have learned from this person, and sometimes he would imitate Toru Amuro when facing Vermouth, so was he acting like this in front of his teacher?

This realization made Noel feel very uncomfortable, and he said in a very resistant tone: "Can you please shut up?"

"That won't do." Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said without disguising, "I still want to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Regarding the incident on Moon Shadow Island, you were also there, right?"

"Oh, about that matter. I'm here, what's wrong?" Noel really didn't expect the other party to ask this, but he didn't panic and replied calmly.

"Xiaokong, you and the person involved, Masashi, are really friends, right? Are you still in touch with him now?"

"No, what's wrong?" Noel answered casually. After all, apart from being Ikaros and contacting the public security through Masanobu, Xiachuan Kong had never seen each other again.

"I'm investigating this case and I want to get some clues from you," Hagiwara Kenji said with a look of disappointment on his face. "After all, this case has been unsolved at the Metropolitan Police Department. I have no choice but to investigate it for the sake of promotion."

Who would believe you, Noel complained in his heart. Don't think he doesn't know that these two famous bombing teams have already started to contact various intelligence dealers in private to get intelligence. Who knows how much they may have found out about the organization.

"Then I can't help you much. After all, I was too scared to observe anything at the time." Noel read, blinking when he mentioned the fear, trying to make it vivid.

"Xiaokong, do you think I will believe it?" Hagiwara Kenji smiled at Noel, with a faint smile in his drooping eyes, and said half coquettishly and half flatteringly: "I know you are very powerful, Xiaokong. Didn't you find a bomb on the train at that time? I believe you must have noticed that among the people present at that time, was there anyone who looked like the killer?"

"Looks like a killer?" Noel became interested and asked, "What kind of person looks like a killer?"

"Hmm..." Hagiwara Kenji controlled the steering wheel with one hand and touched his chin with the other hand, thinking seriously: "Have you seen this "Léon", just like the protagonist Rion in the movie, you can tell at first glance that he is a killer."

"Is it really serious for a police officer to use movie characters as examples?"

"Hahaha, just kidding. The author of the comic I read a while ago also had the same name. Xiao Zhenping complained that this name was really suitable for a killer."

"Maybe it's true." Noel murmured in a low voice, and naturally Hagiwara Kenji heard it, but under normal circumstances, no one would think that this was a serious speculation, or even a fact, so the police officer didn't care, but just asked again: "So, Xiaokong, do you have any suspects?"

"I seemed to be the only outsider who entered the island at that time, except for the Maori detective. Theoretically, the most suspicious person is right in front of you."

Hagiwara Kenji was stunned and subconsciously looked at Noel. The man was only wearing a slightly thin long-sleeved singlet. His face was pale as if he was seriously ill. His gray-green eyes were slightly covered by his hair, making him look more harmless, but the muscle lines on his body could not be ignored. At this time, he looked at him provocatively with a smile on his lips, and there was a hint of malice in his tone as if he was showing his fangs. This was the first time he saw Natsukawa Sora in this state.

The incongruity of the other party was so obvious that Hagiwara Kenji was eager to investigate, especially when he first met him. As the investigation deepened, doubts that were difficult to ignore appeared...

Is this child, whom I have known for quite a long time but have only met a few times, really as simple as he appears to be?

"Uncle, if you lose focus any longer, you'll hit the car in front of you. Then it won't be just a speeding offense. You might even get fired, let alone a promotion."

My slightly scattered thoughts were brought back by the teasing tone of the person opposite me. The slight breath that had just leaked out seemed to be just an illusion. The person in front of me had regained his half-dead feeling, and exuded a feeling of indifference.

That's right. When I first met this child, he just looked like he didn't care about life or death. But after a few meetings, it's not that this feeling disappeared, but it's more like he learned to hide it in his shell. So I like to tease him more...

"Xiaokong, what happened to you?"

Kenji Hagiwara rarely speaks so bluntly. Being good at sensing the atmosphere, he knows what kind of social distance will make people feel comfortable. Words that are too blunt can have a distinct offensive feel even if they are well-intentioned. Of course, that idiot Xiao Zhenping couldn't sense this, but at this moment, his emotional intelligence accumulated over nearly thirty years didn't allow him to stop his mouth and the question came out faster than his brain.

"Uncle, you are so annoying."

This was the only response he got in the end. The other party turned his head and looked out the car window, as if the scenery outside the window was so beautiful in the winter. The atmosphere began to fall into silence, and the other party did not say another word until the car slowly drove to Xiachuan's house.

I'm a little impulsive...

Seeing that the other party had no intention of letting him into the house for a friendly conversation, Kenji Hagiwara smiled bitterly in his heart and watched the other party walk into the house.

"Uncle,"

"Don't come again. I hate you. Can't you see?"

The police officer standing outside the door was stunned when he heard this. He was about to ask something but found that the other party had closed the door, leaving him standing in the wind like the second male lead who was rejected by the female lead in an idol drama.

That's really too much, Xiaokong. Now that you say that, I'll be more eager to investigate further.

The police officer drove away alone.
