Lai Chuan, and the secret behind this surname.
Kenji Hagiwara, like a vicious dog guarding its food, bared its teeth and floored the accelerator.
He rushed to Morofushi Kagemitsu's residence, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw Yorikawa Yomi wrapped in a blanket.
"Soft bread, what on earth is going on?!"
Kenji Hagiwara threw his backpack, stuffed with clothes, onto the bed. He stood in front of Yomi Laichuan with his arms crossed, gritting his teeth and unable to smile at all.
"You go out first!" Lai Chuan Huang Quan grabbed the blanket and protested loudly to Hagiwara Kenji, "I'm naked right now, don't stand here staring at me, at least let me change my clothes first!"
Hagiwara Kenji:! ?
Kenji Hagiwara: "You're not wearing any clothes right now!?"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan nodded first, then shook his head: "I'm wearing Mr. Morofushi's shirt."
Kenji Hagiwara: "Besides shirts, what else?"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan blinked at Hagiwara Kenji with a blank look on his face: "That's all."
Seeing his girlfriend wearing another man's clothes, Kenji Hagiwara covered his forehead with a dark expression, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, becoming even angrier.
"Hey, just get out of here already!" Lai Chuan Huang Quan exclaimed, "Don't stop me from getting dressed!"
Kenji Hagiwara snorted coldly, stormed out of the bedroom with a resentful look, and closed the door behind him. When Yomi Laichuan came out of the bedroom after changing her clothes, Kenji Hagiwara was already sitting on the sofa with a dark expression, listening to Hiromitsu Morofushi explain the whole story. He turned to look at Yomi Laichuan, his face devoid of a smile, instead revealing a barely suppressed anger.
Kenji Hagiwara stood shrouded in black mist, his fingers interlaced against his chin. As he glanced at Yomi Yorikawa, his expression was anything but cheerful; a storm was brewing beneath his brow. The sudden release of black energy from this gentle man created a stark contrast and an intense sense of oppression.
"Alas!"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan, whose sense of crisis fluctuated, felt a chill run down her spine at that moment. She froze on the spot, staring at Hagiwara Kenji for two seconds, before decisively choosing to run away.
Just as he walked from the bedroom into the living room, Lai Chuan Huang Quan is now backing up into the bedroom step by step in the same way.
"Soft bread!"
"Waaah—"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan stopped in her tracks, looking like a middle school student whose full name had been suddenly called by her homeroom teacher at a high volume. She looked timid, frowned, and pitifully looked at Hagiwara: "Why are you so fierce? I don't think I did anything wrong today."
"come over!"
"oh……"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan moved slowly to Hagiwara Kenji's side, her hands behind her back, her cheeks puffed out, and her face turned to the side, looking very unhappy.
"Tell me where you went and what you did today, in chronological order."
"I...I just went around to all the food shops in Beika Street and handed over the poisoned croissant I bought to Officer Matsuda."
"Anything else?"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan's eyes darted left and right as he answered softly, "That's all."
"Um?"
Kenji Hagiwara narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Yomi Yorikawa. He squeezed out a single syllable from his throat, clearly not believing Yomi Yorikawa's nonsense.
"It's really gone..."
“Oh, really?” Kenji Hagiwara stood up. “Then I’ll go ask Furuya. I think he’d be happy to tell me. But it would be a different story if I knew the truth from a third party.”
"Wait!" Seeing that Kenji Hagiwara was truly enraged, Yomi Raikawa lunged forward, grabbing his hand tightly and clinging to his arm like a koala in her panic. "After saying goodbye to Inspector Matsuda, I went to buy some bear-shaped cookies. I happened to run into the poisoner and followed him to a research institute, only to witness him being shot. In my panic, I lost my way and fell here. That's it, that's it!"
Lai Chuan poured out everything that had happened that day, like spilling beans, before timidly looking at Hagiwara Kenji: "...Can you not be angry with me? I took good care of myself."
Kenji Hagiwara stared intently at Yomi Yorikawa for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh, giving up under Yomi Yorikawa's pitiful gaze.
Before arriving, Kenji Hagiwara had planned to take this opportunity to give Yomi Laichuan a good scolding, but she softened her expression and said, "Softie, I know you have a mission and I know you are very strong, but I still can't help but worry when I think about you putting yourself in danger."
“But I’m angrier than you being the one who secretly followed the dangerous poisoning suspect. I’m more angry that you kept things from me.”
Kenji Hagiwara grasped Yomi Raikawa's hand, which was tightly gripping his arm: "I won't restrict your actions, but promise me you won't lie to me next time, okay?"
Kenji Hagiwara felt a little pain from being pulled, but he liked the way Yomi Rikawa held him anxiously, not letting him leave.
It is proof that you are cared about.
"I understand," Raikawa Yomi said pitifully, "I won't lie to you anymore."
"Mmm, the soft bread is amazing."
"cough."
The two people in front of him had already resolved their conflict and were about to start exuding pink bubbles. Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly coughed and asked, "Miss Raikawa, what's this about the shooting you mentioned?"
“Speaking of which!” Yomi Laichuan turned to look at Kagemitsu Morofushi with bright eyes. “Mr. Midorikawa, is the place you infiltrated an organization that uses alcohol as its code name?”
Why do you ask that?
"The person who fired the shot is named Gin. And the information the central system gave me about you indicates that you will be given the title 'Scotland' in the future."
“It looks like I’ll be able to get a code name smoothly,” Morofushi Hiromitsu smiled, feigning relaxation. “But unfortunately, the Ministry of Public Security doesn’t have enough information about the organization yet. And I’m still on the periphery of the organization, only just noticed by some mid-level managers, and I’m not qualified to learn more about it yet.”
He asked, "How much do you know about the organization?"
“I know nothing,” Yomi Laichuan said honestly, “but the information the central system gave me includes a special list of people to watch out for, and Gin is on it.”
She opened the message sent by Rei Furuya: "Speaking of which, is Mr. Amuro also investigating this organization? I'll send him Gin's real name; maybe we can close the net immediately. As for his appearance... I'll ask the administrator if I can upload a photo to my phone later, and then I'll send it to you."
“Okay,” Morofushi Kagemitsu nodded. “But what about you? Are you really alright? I’ve heard that Gin is ruthless and perceptive. Will you be in danger?”
Lai Chuan Huang Quan put away his phone, put his hands on his hips, and patted his chest: "Don't worry, I was teleported away before Gin found me. And look, I even took my little leather shoes with me before I left. There were no footprints or fingerprints left, so there will definitely be no problem."
It wasn't until this moment that Kenji Hagiwara, who was sitting on the far edge of the sofa with his chin resting on his hand, casually interrupted their conversation: "You said you bought cookies before you went to follow the poison suspect. May I ask where your bear cookies are? You didn't forget them at the research institute, did you?"
"Oh no! My little bear biscuits!!"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan was startled and quickly took out his phone to call Furuya Rei.
Kenji Hagiwara frowned, almost laughing in exasperation: "Hey, you didn't really forget the bear-shaped cookies at the lab, did you?!"
"How could I be that stupid!" Lai Chuan Huang Quan protested loudly, holding his phone. "I put the cookies in the storage room near the research institute! -- Hello, Mr. Amuro, I forgot my bear cookies, please help me get them! -- No, no, no, there are the latest fruit-filled flavors in there, I went through a lot of trouble to buy them!"
Meanwhile, Furuya Rei had already led his men to the research institute that Yomi Laichuan had mentioned.
The raging fire turned the world inside the walls red. Red fire trucks flashed their lights and kept going. The high-pressure water jets had barely brought the fire under control, but even if it was extinguished, the scene was basically completely destroyed.
He huddled in the back seat of the car, the flames reflecting red across half his face. The trip wasn't entirely fruitless; at least he learned Gin's real name.
And a whole bag of bear-shaped cookies.
Kazami Yuya in the front row secretly glanced through the rearview mirror at Furuya Rei, who had a dark expression on his face, and several boxes of cookies that were overflowing from a bag next to him.
This was the first time he had encountered such a scene, and he felt a strange sense of awe and wonder.
Kazami Yuya swallowed hard and whispered, "Mr. Furuya, cookies can certainly fill you up, but I personally recommend meal replacement bars. They're not only nutritious, but also..."
Before he could finish speaking, Kazami Yu was coldly interrupted by Furuya Rei, who had a sour face: "Kazami, be quiet."
"..." Kazami Yuya touched his nose and chose to change the subject, "Mr. Furuya, what should we do now?"
Rei Furuya rested his chin on his hand and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking in a muffled voice: "After two intersections ahead, you'll pass through an alley. I'll get off there. As for you, take this bag of bear-shaped cookies to the Metropolitan Police Department's SWAT team and tell them it's for the little witch."
Kazami Yuya looked at Furuya Rei through the rearview mirror, completely bewildered: "Little witch?"
"That's the woman who kicked you into the hospital."
"..."
The terrible memories that he had finally managed to shake off resurfaced, and Kazami Yuya subconsciously squeezed his legs together, chose to shut up, and obediently started the vehicle.
Following Furuya Rei's instructions, the white car turned into a deserted and unmonitored alley. After getting out of the car, Furuya Rei gave a few instructions to Kazami Yuya, telling him to make sure to deliver the cookies, and then turned and headed straight for the police station—a few minutes earlier, Yomi Yorikawa had sent him a photo of Gin.
In order to infiltrate the organization, the National Police Agency, in conjunction with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Bureau, has made many attempts and efforts. He and Morofushi Kagemitsu are still in the probing stage, but Yomi Yorikawa has already obtained Gin's real name, which is a completely unexpected surprise.
As Rei Furuya slid his finger across the mouse and typed in the password that belonged to his level of access on the keyboard, his hands trembled with excitement.
After typing "Kurosawa Jin" into the search box and waiting for a long loading bar, the computer displays information on all men named Kurosawa Jin in Japan.
Furuya Reiichi flipped through the documents, and by the time he finally found the matching profile, nearly two hours had passed.
Information about "Kurosawa Jin" is scarce and incomplete. It seems his birth was not blessed, which is why he was only registered late in life. His family background is unknown, and his whereabouts after the age of 21 are unknown; he has almost vanished into thin air. But Furuya Rei knows that he has simply changed his name and is living as "Gin" in another dark world full of bloodshed and violence.
The near-complete lack of information on "Kurosawa Jin" was within Furuya Rei's expectations, so he not only didn't feel disappointed, but his pupils trembled with a hint of excitement.
Before closing the "Kurosawa Jin" file and exiting the police department's file search software, Furuya Rei suddenly remembered Kenji Hagiwara's request. So he swiped his finger and started searching for "Yomiwa Yomi" again.
According to the police department's records, there are only two women in all of Tokyo who fit the age description "Yomi Raikawa." One is Yomi Raikawa, whom he knows well and is currently dating Kenji Hagiwara. As for the other...
When Furuya opened the document at midnight, the same "insufficient permissions" message still popped up.
Rei Furuya stared intently at the four large characters on the screen, his brows furrowed.
His lack of access to this information implies that either Lai Chuan Huang Quan himself or a direct descendant of three generations of his family holds a high-ranking position, and that this person's identity needs to be kept secret.
...Lai Chuan.
Furuya Rei had a general idea, but lacking concrete evidence, he wasn't certain yet. If it really was that person, he probably wouldn't get away with it.
But Furuya Rei never expected that before he could conduct a thorough investigation, the person he suspected would come knocking on his door first.
It was a gloomy day; there was no wind outside the window, only light snowflakes falling. Spring was approaching, but the temperature had dropped a few degrees, and people's faces turned red from the cold wind.
When Rei Furuya received orders to rush back to the police station, his direct superior was already waiting in his office with his hands behind his back.
The boss looked at Furuya Rei with a complicated expression, then patted him heavily on the shoulder: "Furuya, my boss—Mr. Raikawa—specifically wants to see you."
