Chapter 94 Chapter 94 I don’t remember promising to meet you…
Each of them was carrying a large bag of food. They left the large supermarket that Matsuda had mentioned earlier and went upstairs to the single apartment where the curly-haired officer was currently living.
The place they agreed to meet today was Jinpei Matsuda's residence.
According to the original words of the curly-haired police officer, "Since we have finally obtained the one-day meeting rights with Hiro-dan from the golden-haired bastard, we must let the chef experience the complete variety of products in that supermarket."
Of course, both parties knew the real intention.
When he stood at the door of Matsuda Jinpei's house, Morufushi Kagemitsu noticed the specific location of his room: on the other side of the elevator, with a separate passage. No wonder Hagiwara Kenji was able to occupy his door every day without being complained by the neighbors and driven away.
After entering, I found that although there were not many things in Matsuda Jinpei's apartment, it had more life atmosphere than the single apartment of Furuya Rei last time.
In the living room, where the coffee table should have been, there was a large workbench. On it sat an equally large toolbox and a half-assembled model. Behind the workbench, in a cabinet, the upper shelf contained assembled models, while the lower shelf held unopened model boxes.
Just as Zhu Fushiki Jingguang was about to tease Matsuda Jinpei about his rich yet monotonous spare time, he noticed as he walked past the workbench that there was a light layer of dust on the half-assembled model.
It has not been cared for by its owner for some time.
It seems that during the time that Kenji Hagiwara stayed outside Jinpei Matsuda's door, it was not only the person outside who was uneasy.
Without making any comment on this, and without even letting Matsuda Jinpei notice that his eyes were lingering on the model, Morofushi Keimitsu and the curly-haired officer walked towards his kitchen, which was obviously unused.
The kitchen had not been used, but it contained the kitchen utensils he brought from Kanagawa, all of which were the ones that Morofushi Kagemitsu was used to using.
While helping Morofushi Jingguang with relatively simple preparatory tasks like washing and chopping vegetables, Matsuda Jinpei asked directly, "It seems you've recovered a lot of your memories these past few days?"
The young man with cat eyes paused while stirring the egg liquid. "Did Zhen Ping see through it?"
Matsuda Jinpei hummed, "I saw that aura on you three months ago, but I didn't ask you for the specific reason then."
He neatly sliced an eggplant down the middle, perfectly slicing along the center axis. "I've regretted many times since then not asking you directly, so I'm asking now—was it because of that golden-haired bastard?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu was stirring the egg liquid absentmindedly, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to Matsuda Jinpei's words.
Matsuda Jinpei saw this as a sign he was planning to make up some half-truthful excuse to fool him, so the curly-haired officer unceremoniously held the half eggplant as a weapon against Morufushi Kagemitsu's waist and said, "Tell the truth."
Zhu Fujingguang, who happened to be tickled by the situation, could only cooperate and surrender: "Okay, okay, let me think about how to say it."
In fact, Jinpei Matsuda can only be said to have guessed half right.
Indeed, since he remembered some of the things that happened between him and Furuya Rei that night, Morofushi Jingguang suffered a huge blow. After all, he has realized that both his present and past self like Furuya Rei, so naturally he cannot face Furuya Rei's past dislike for him calmly.
But his strange behavior today was not just because of this matter.
Yesterday, I followed Rei Furuya past the location of their previous mission, and that evening, I too recalled those decidedly less than pleasant memories: bullet casings, blood, and the silent loss of life...
Occasionally, there would be a scene of three people together in a safe house, but since they could not confess their identities and positions to each other, it was already difficult for them to maintain superficial peace. No one could tell how many temptations were hidden under the tacit understanding between Rye and Scotland, and how much exploitation was involved in the exchanges between Bourbon and Scotland.
Fortunately, the blue sea of flowers that looked like a waterfall entered Zhu Fujingguang's dream as the blonde police officer wished, making the presence of those dark and bloody scenes less noticeable.
But then another picture appeared.
"I'm Shuichi Akai, an undercover agent sent by the FBI. Like you, I'm a hound trying to keep a close eye on those guys."
The young man in the knitted hat pinned Scotland against the wall, grabbed the cylinder of the revolver, and tried to gain Scotland's trust with his FBI identity, but was distracted by the sudden sound of footsteps, causing Scotland to shoot himself in the heart when he relaxed.
Even after waking up, Zhu Fujingguang was still unable to get over his strong determination to escape to another world.
I see.
A key piece of the puzzle has been filled in.
In the memories that have been restored, Morofushi Jingguang only knows that he and Furuya Ling were childhood friends in his previous life, but he has no idea what his own identity is.
Now I finally understand that in my previous life, I was an undercover investigator who was tasked with infiltrating the organization, just like Rei Furuya.
...But if he could start over again, Morofushi Jingguang accidentally joined the organization when he was young, and because of his identity as a criminal, so many painful past events happened between him and Furuya Rei.
Although Zhu Fujingguang had solved part of the mystery about himself, he did not feel relieved. While feeling the fickleness of his fate, it would be difficult for him to get rid of that mentality for a while.
The mentality of being in a desperate situation and resolutely giving up oneself to protect relatives and friends.
It is obvious that Zhu Fujingguang no longer has any situation where he needs to sacrifice his life. He is not a police officer and his organization has now been destroyed. However, this strong sense of self-sacrifice still affects him when he just regains his memory.
"I recalled some bad memories... It will be fine after a while." Zhu Fujingguang lowered his eyelashes. "The other part is indeed related to Zero, but it's also because of the memory. He has been very good to me recently. Don't worry, Zhen Ping."
"Oh—" Matsuda Jinpei retracted his eggplant weapon and drew out the final line of his voice. "Is he treating you very well recently? Does that mean he treated you very badly in the past?"
Zhu Fujingguang: "..."
He subconsciously wanted to defend Furuya Rei, but when he thought about it carefully, his past wasn't exactly "good." However, he was unwilling to be unilaterally suppressed: "What about Jin Ping? It's been so long, and I still don't know what happened between you and Hagiwara."
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
"Tsk, wait until I take you for a walk and you'll know."
During the meal, Zhu Fushi Jingguang asked about Matsuda Jinpei's recent situation as usual. The latter said that it had only been a few days since they last met. "Master Jing, do you want to hear how many bombs I defused yesterday and how outrageous my motives were?"
After complaining like this, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly remembered something: "Didn't I tell you about a buzz-cut police officer last time? I chatted with the blond teacher and found out that he actually remembered that person. He said that the case that was transferred to the public security department was handled by that person and he did a great job. He even said that we should meet each other sometime."
Zhu Fujing smiled: "It piqued my curiosity. What's the name of that police officer?"
"Ida Kou."
The young man with cat eyes was stunned for a moment. This name was similar to Matsuda Jinpei's. Even if he couldn't remember the past between him and the other person, it still gave him a faint sense of familiarity and security.
But since both Jinpei Matsuda and Rei Furuya are not familiar with Date Kou, their encounter is likely to have occurred in Morobushi Kagemitsu's previous life.
"It would be great if I could get to know this excellent Officer Date," Morobushi Kagemitsu suggested half-seriously. "Please keep an eye on him for me, Jinpei."
Hearing this, the curly-haired young man paused as he was about to scoop up a spoonful of curry beef, pretending to hesitate and said, "Although I don't like the golden-haired bastard's previous behavior, Ida has a girlfriend—"
Before he could finish his words, Zhu Fujingguang used his spoon to stuff the curry beef into his mouth, blocking him from saying anything else.
Matsuda Jinpei originally wanted to enjoy the delicious food in his mouth, but after chewing it for a while, his face quickly turned red and sweaty. He picked up the ice water at hand and drank it all in one gulp: "Master Jing!"
"You have several accounts to settle with me, Zhen Ping."
After enjoying a relaxed lunch, Matsuda Jinpei began to take Morofushi Keimitsu through the place where they had met before.
They first went to an underground bar: "This is where I first saw you. Hagi said hello to you at that time, and then I noticed you."
Zhu Fujingguang was silent for a moment: "...Why does he know me?"
Matsuda Jinpei also fell silent: "...I guess I should start from here."
So on the way to the convenience store, Scotland, a former code member, listened to an active police officer who had never really come into contact with the organization, telling the story of him and another former code member, an active explosives police officer.
"This is where we first spoke to you."
We went to another ordinary-looking street corner: "I'll give you the contact information there."
A cafe: "I ask you to pull hagi here."
The last one was a seaside park, facing the deep blue sea: "Since we don't have enough time, I will take you to the real place - Zero should take you there. Now let me use a substitute."
After this explanation, Morofushi Kagemitsu finally understood why Matsuda Jinpei and Furuya Rei were unwilling to let him meet Hagiwara Kenji before, and what would happen that would make the free-spirited Matsuda Jinpei unwilling to be with Hagiwara Kenji even though he still had feelings for him.
Knowing that Curly-haired Officer didn't like being comforted, Zhu Fujingguang just patted his shoulder silently in the end.
After dinner, Zhu Fujingguang said goodbye to his friends and set out alone on the road back to the Noriyuki Zero Apartment.
When passing by the convenience store today, he was stopped by a lively voice: "Komorobushi, who came out so late after having dinner with Jinpei, would make Kenji-chan very jealous~"
Turning around and seeing Hagiwara Kenji, Morofushi Keimitsu's expression didn't change at all. He just cautiously took a step back to distance himself from Hagiwara Kenji: "I don't remember ever agreeing to meet you."
Seeing the other party's determination to achieve his goal, and remembering the "great achievements" that Matsuda Jinpei had just mentioned to him today, Zhu Fushi Jingguang asked coldly, "What do you want to do?"
The young man with semi-long hair had a sincere expression. His originally innocent purple drooping eyes now looked even a little miserable. "Kenji-chan is just trying to play the victim."
Zhu Fujingguang: "..."
Zhu Fujingguang: "Ah?"
