Chapter 12 [You mean, let me hide the truth from the detective? ]
"I'm sorry, Sayuri. My friend can be a little mean sometimes, but he's not really a bad person... Never mind. If you run into him, you'd better stay away from him."
I've said Furuya Rei isn't a "bad guy," but thinking about his work with his best friend, the word "bad guy" feels particularly hot on my tongue. Plus, just yesterday, Agatsuma Sayuri barged into a private gathering of codename members, completely disregarding the atmosphere. It's better to avoid Furuya Rei if you see him. Even if I'm one of the few who can't accept "Amuro Toru's kindness," it's far better than becoming a victim of Bourbon's hand.
Speaking of which, my wife Sayuri...she's so timid, why did she dare to enter such an alley?
Even if someone actively invited her to such a place, she should have cried out "scary" and "uneasy" and turned around and ran away, right? I didn't hear anyone around her say that my wife Sayuri didn't know how to read the air?
Did she see Bourbon and Rye go in and follow them in, or did she see me go in first and go in?
But he was extremely careful the entire time, not only did he go in circles, but he also paid special attention to whether anyone was following him. If my wife Sayuri could follow him all the way to the gathering place without him even noticing, then my wife Sayuri...
Rather than trusting the tracking abilities of a little girl wearing a self-created magical princess outfit, contact lenses, and jingle bells, Morofushi Jingguang trusted his own ability to resist tracking. This isn't discrimination; it's common sense. Wearing cumbersome clothing that makes noise makes it easier to be spotted. That's normal.
In fact, the traces at the scene proved that no one had followed Scotland into the arena. After all, Sayuri Agatsuma hadn't followed him; she had simply rushed forward, avoiding all distractions and crashing into the center.
If anyone is to blame, it's their fault for not setting up any precautions.
In other words, all three of them had intended to set up early warning systems, but in their mutual defenses, they couldn't implement any of the defenses. If one person's alarm went off, but the others' traps didn't, the precarious trust would collapse.
Agatsuma Sayuri took the initiative to look at Furuya Rei's departing back, a hint of apology, but not much. There was no other way. It was difficult enough dealing with Morobushi Kagemitsu on his own, especially considering he harbored inexplicable guilt and inexplicable stereotypes about him. Add in Bourbon, who sealed his heart and locked up his love, and hell would have begun.
"Is that person really Liang's friend?"
"Ahem... We met at work. Now that I've changed my job, we don't have much contact anymore. We just happened to run into each other yesterday and chatted for a while."
This sentence sounded vague, and Agatsuma Sayuri automatically translated it in her head.
"Met at the workplace" means that they all entered the organization under their fake identities and met each other in the organization.
"Changed career", from a peripheral member to a member of the action team?
"No connection" is just something you hear, even if they don't contact each other on the surface, how can they not have some connection in private? It probably means that the two of them are registered in the organization with no connection on the surface, so there is no connection.
"Just a few words," if she hadn't suddenly intruded, it might have been Scotland and Bourbon "chatting" with Rye. My wife Sayuri can even play out a "you and I" argument in her head, a playful, fake drama of two people confronting each other.
After finishing her imagination, Agatsuma Sayuri seemed to have finished watching a quarter of the movie, and looked at Koyasu Ryo with satisfaction and hope in her big, Caroline-like eyes.
Morofushi Kagemitsu was also observing Agatsuma Sayuri. When he saw that she listened to what he said, nodded as if she understood something, and then looked at him, he felt relieved.
[It seems like I got away with it.]
Zhu Fujingguang has been practicing various roles and scenes since he received the undercover mission, but that was only for criminals, and the police did not teach him how to treat a girl who is sincere to him.
Every time I play the role of "boyfriend", I feel uneasy.
Furiya Rei really wanted to help him, but Bourbon's techniques couldn't be used on Scotland, not to mention that he was now an ordinary citizen "Koyasu Ryo".
His blue eyes met the girl's eyes that seemed to be shining with stars, and he unconsciously looked away. "Anyway, let's think about what to eat for lunch?"
Let’s not talk about how the two of them found a decent restaurant nearby, but when my wife Sayuri returned to the restaurant, she became absent-minded again.
Kawakami Mika looked at my wife Sayuri with a smile, and whispered to the store manager, "Look at little Sayuri, her soul left as soon as her boyfriend left."
The store manager obviously felt the same way and nodded in agreement: "It's been like this since yesterday. It looks like there's progress."
The other employees who were busy in the store pricked up their ears and secretly listened to the gossip between the two.
"Manager, what stage are they at?"
"Judging from her behavior, it should be a kiss."
"Sayuri-chan looks so innocent, I guess they haven't held hands yet."
Gossip aside, the shop assistants were too distracted to do their jobs, so the manager forced my wife, Sayuri, to take a day off. She was originally the shop's mascot, but now the sales of the milk tea shop are directly proportional to the popularity of her comics. It would be better for my wife, Sayuri, to take a break, relax her overloaded mind, and draw more comics.
This is why my wife Sayuri was standing at the bus stop with a dull look in her eyes.
She suddenly couldn't think of where she should go.
Indeed, her mind was full of random thoughts, but they had nothing to do with comics. She couldn't possibly depict such romantic feelings in a comic book!
Actually, it’s not completely impossible...
No, no, no, it still doesn’t work.
Before she knew it, Agatsuma Sayuri had even dared to secretly draw some fanfiction about Morifushi Kagemitsu, showing off some of the manga artist's full imagination. Now that she knew this was a scientific world, Morifushi Kagemitsu was a real person, and what was more, he was on an undercover mission, it was impossible for her to reveal too much about Morifushi Kagemitsu.
It should be said that anyone who has expectations for justice like her would never take the initiative to expose the undercover information.
Thinking of this, Agatsuma Sayuri hesitated between going home to hide all the fan products and checking how much time was left before Kudo Shinichi became Edogawa Conan this year.
Either one sounds important.
In the end, since the method of confirming time requires daytime, the latter method is slightly better.
The girl searched and asked passers-by along the way, and finally arrived at Beika Town before school was over.
The maximum age range for Morifushi Kagemitsu's undercover work in the organization is 22 to 26. Furuya Rei, who is the same age as him, was 29 when he met the shrunken Shinichi, while Kudo Shinichi was 17 when he shrank. The entire manga has only been going on for half a year. Given that Morifushi Kagemitsu is currently undercover, Kudo Shinichi's age could be between 10 and 14, which would put him between elementary and middle school age.
Fortunately, there is a significant time difference between the elementary and junior high school dismissal times, so Agatsuma Sayuri can go to Teitan Elementary School, which dismisses earlier, first, and then go to Teitan Junior High School if she can't find Kudo Shinichi.
Because she got lost and took the wrong road, my wife Sayuri was delayed a little. When she arrived at the gate of Teitan Elementary School, she just caught up with the first group of elementary school students coming out of the school gate.
Looking at the little kids, who are not even as tall as her waist, chattering and jumping out of the school, and being picked up by their parents one by one, Sauri, my wife, feels that her mentality has become younger.
Although children can be a bit noisy, and taking care of them is tiring and stressful, with a lot of responsibility and pressure, she's still very happy to play with other well-behaved children without Sayuri having to use her paintbrush to get close to them.
Agatsuma Sayuri watched with admiration and a feeling of being spoiled by cuteness as the elementary school students from first and second grades to the graduating class left school, but she did not see any distinctive faces.
It doesn't matter, she comforted herself, Morofushi Kagemitsu already has a code name and has been in the organization for a while, it would be normal for Kudo Shinichi to reach junior high school age.
As she moved towards Teitan Junior High School, she thought about this. Actually, there was another way she could determine how many years it had been since Morufushi Kagemitsu graduated from the police academy. That was to look up old newspapers and see which November 7th of that year the explosion occurred in the Asai Villa area.
Kenji Hagiwara, a classmate of Kagemitsu Morifushi in the police academy, died in the line of duty while decommissioning a bomb just one month after graduating from the academy.
Because using this method to determine the time was too difficult, Agatsuma Sayuri didn't want to expose any unusual behavior to others. It would be fine if others didn't know about this, but once they knew that Morobushi Keiichi was from the same police academy class, it would be easy to infer that Agatsuma Sayuri knew about her undercover identity, so this kind of thing should be avoided.
And around Zhu Fu Jingguang, there are as many as four people who are sharp enough to find flaws and smart enough to deduce contradictions.
Even though he was currently on the Black side due to his undercover mission, he still had Rei Furuya by his side. Furthermore, there was an FBI agent who, while not having discovered Morobushi Kagemitsu's Red side identity, was willing to sacrifice their own lives to let him go when his cover was exposed.
Shuichi Akai's keen sense of clues and reasoning ability are equally terrifying.
Furthermore, Morobushi Kagemitsu himself is also considered to be an intelligent person by his creator and comic author - the reasoning abilities of the five members of the police academy team are comparable.
What is my wife, Sayuri, hiding from all these smart people? If she had that kind of brain, she wouldn't have bothered to write a synopsis when she was writing fanfiction!
Ahem, I've strayed off topic. Anyway, this fanfiction author who has to write an outline as detailed as a chapter, a nerd who can't even tell his own plot when drawing comics, is completely unable to lie to this group of smart detectives and police officers!
As my mental theater played out, the gates of Teitan Junior High School slowly opened. The junior high students, looking noticeably more haggard than those at Teitan Elementary School, slowly left the school. Many of them discussed going to cram school soon, as they exited past Agatsuma Sayu.
At that moment, Agatsuma Sayuri, wearing a brightly colored princess dress and her hair styled into high twintails with styling gel, stood out among the uniformly dressed junior high school students. Her cosplay outfit, with its tiered lace skirt and puffed sleeves, adorned with sequins and zircons that shone brightly in the afternoon sun, made her stand out like a sore thumb.
She did not pay attention to other people's whispers. Even when the topic of conversation around her gradually changed from discussing studies, complaining about school and teachers, to "that strange woman", she did not feel the slightest bit dissatisfied.
However, not everyone in this world can tolerate the unreasonableness and offense of others, even if they are not targeting them.
"Hey, hey, hey, I suggest that those of you who say bad things about others should apologize to this young lady."
[Otherwise, the person next to me will get angry.]
【Author’s words】
The author dared not to write an outline (his hands are hidden in his mind), but it’s not because he is too smart, but because he went astray while writing...
