Chapter 31 [The probability is very small, but not zero]
"Liang, did you see the kidnapping case on the news? You'd never guess I was one of the victims, and the kidnappers even planted a bomb on me."
My wife, Sayuri, held her phone in one hand and wrote furiously in the other, managing both tasks without interruption. Pretending not to recognize the person meeting her gaze was Ryo Koyasu, she recounted the day's events.
"Hey? It's okay. A very capable police officer helped me defused the bomb. I even got his contact information. His name is Jinpei Matsuda. He's super handsome, just like you, Ryo."
"But don't worry, I won't change my mind. You will always be my first choice." My wife Sayuri ignored the subtle pause on the other end of the phone and continued the interaction between ordinary lovers.
"By the way, I ran into your colleague. The one named Lei, but his girlfriend said his name is Dai Moroboshi. 'Lei' is his work nickname? So why do you have nicknames at work?... You're not doing anything that's detrimental to my job, are you?"
"Don't worry, that guy was even mean to me before, so there's no way I'd just run over to him. You're so cute when you're jealous."
"When will you finish your work? I was so scared today that I thought I saw you at the scene of the crime. I missed you——"
"Yeah, I'll wait for you~"
The sweet conversation stopped when the phone was hung up. Agatsuma Sayuri put away her smile and put the pen aside.
The fact that Ley was able to get to the crime scene so quickly and Scotland was also nearby meant that they were working as a team and were nearby.
There weren't any shootings on the news today, but the hijacking case involving my wife, Sayuri, made headlines and became a hot topic. Online media platforms were also buzzing with discussion, and it was a very lively time.
It is rumored online that the criminal is a mercenary from the Middle East, but anyone who has been at the scene or has watched the video of the scene will know that he has a typical Japanese appearance and speaks fluently, at the level of a native speaker.
The police's successful handling of this case is a matter of honor, and they should not allow the media to report it recklessly. This is a good opportunity to reverse the police's unfavorable image in handling cases.
Allowing the media to fabricate information about criminals will not make the police's performance more outstanding, but will only make the customs department appear incompetent, which is also a lack of government authority.
Wouldn't it be a loss if one department failed to perform its duties for the success of another department?
If things had continued this way, it probably meant there was something fishy about the identities of these prisoners, something far more serious than just the fact that they were mercenaries from the Middle East.
The Black Organization sent people there, could it be related to this group of prisoners?
“…”
"Forget it, we can't deduce anything with this little information. Let's wait for Liang to come and see if we can dig out some information." The girl thought for a long time but couldn't figure anything out, so she just lay down and gave up.
Instead of wasting time on things that cannot be further speculated due to lack of information, it is better to finish her manuscript quickly. This is what she can and should do.

Sharing this information with Ryo Koyasu had a remarkable effect. He made an appointment to meet me the next day. He said he had found a delicious dessert shop during work hours and bought their signature product to comfort his girlfriend who had been kidnapped while visiting the dessert shop.
The sliced cake was beautifully decorated and tasted delicious. The highest praise one can give a dessert is "not too sweet." The animal cream melted in your mouth, with a rich, milky aroma and an ice cream-like texture. The fresh fruit was juicy and moderately sweet.
Each element individually meets the standard of excellence, and when combined together they naturally reach the excellence of the hexagon.
Obviously, Koyasu Ryo was very confident in this product, which is why he used it to appease my wife, Sayuri. As for making his girlfriend happy, wouldn't it be easy to get any information from her?
At this moment, Zi'an's bright blue eyes were filled with tenderness, and it seemed that there was only his girlfriend in his eyes, and he acted like a good man who missed his girlfriend.
My wife Sayuri was almost falling in that gaze as tranquil as a lake, like a butterfly trapped in the web of love without knowing it, flapping its wings would only make it tied tighter.
Her face flushed, and she didn't know whether it was because she was happy to eat the delicious food or because she was shy being stared at by her boyfriend.
"How does it taste?"
Seeing that my wife Sayuri was eating in small bites but at a fast pace, Koyasu Ryo asked with a smile.
"tasty!"
My wife Sayuri has many words to describe how delicious it is, but at this moment, she only wants to say "delicious". She can't find the words to praise it.
Now, Zi'an Liang's smile is much more genuine. Even in a fake love, one will feel happy because of the occasional true appearance.
[Speaking of which, what new moves did Jingguang learn from his childhood friend? Is he a gentle character this time? Honestly, it looks weird, and it's giving me goosebumps.]
Zhu Fu Jingguang is a gentle and kind person, like the warm spring sun, not scorching, but warm.
If he expresses his feelings from the heart, he will definitely be the type of person who is very easy to get along with and everyone will have a good impression of him.
But at this point, Morifushi Keimitsu is playing the role of a part-time worker with a (dangerous) part-time job, who is usually aloof and taciturn, clumsy in front of his girlfriend because he is not good at dating, but gradually falls in love with the girl in their daily interactions. At least in the eyes of Sayuri Agatsuma, he is trying to play such a character.
It was too difficult for Zhu Fu Jingguang.
He could remain aloof in the organization, killing people without blinking, and not talk to others unless necessary. He could also be honest and dutiful but not good at speaking in the shop where he worked, and he could also gradually show signs of falling in love with his lover. But he couldn't be both ruthless in killing people, honest and dutiful, and also love-minded.
Those who can do this are not good actors, they are schizophrenic...
To balance the three distinct character traits, Morobushi Kagemitsu, the sniper who should be in the back row, has recently been learning various techniques from Bourbon. It's clear that he's working very hard to get information from Agatsuma Sayuri.
In order to maintain her boyfriend's enthusiasm, my wife Sayuri occasionally revealed some clues that she knew his true identity, and even coincidences added fuel to the fire, confirming the speculation that my wife Sayuri's true identity was not simple.
If we block out the God's perspective and only look at it from the perspective of Morobushi Keimitsu, Agatsuma Sayuri is a mysterious woman who used her police identity to coerce him and force him to become her boyfriend. She has spies in both the Black Organization and the police, and can accurately find his former classmates in the police academy, knowing him very well.
Every move is under control.
If my wife Sayuri and Morofushi Kagemitsu were in each other's places, she would probably be so scared that she couldn't sleep.
Sometimes, my wife Sayuri wonders why Morifushi Keimitsu hasn't called the police to arrest him yet.
Is the identity of "Sayuri Agatsuma" really that "real"? So flawless that even the police can't intervene? Could she be some wealthy lady? That doesn't seem likely.
After pondering for a moment, she finished the final stroke of the manuscript. As she uploaded the update, she also put her worries behind her.
"Who cares? Nothing in the world is as important as the DDL③ I need to complete right now!"
The girl opened the comic's serialization page and, as expected, saw many readers leaving comments in the comment section urging her to update. Compared to other manga artists who update once a week, one chapter at a time, Agatsuma Sayuri is a rare daily updater.
Comics differ from novels in that, in addition to the plot, characters, dialogue, and other elements common to novels, they place even greater emphasis on visuals. The amount of information conveyed through visuals is vastly different from that conveyed through text.
It needs white space, but more importantly, details. The amount of information contained in a sentence may require several pictures to clearly display.
Even if it is just a draft, the cartoonist still needs to design storyboards, use short lines to explain his settings, and the plot must be interesting to readers.
More importantly, the characters must be beautiful!
Ah, that last point isn't a hard and fast rule, it's just Agatsuma Sayuri's insistence. She can forgo coloring and reduce the details, but the characters must be beautiful!
Things that were abandoned during the serialization period can be supplemented when the single volume is released. At that time, the editor will recommend reliable assistants, and there will also be assistants who want to learn and actively sign up, so many tedious tasks that can increase the completion rate can be handed over to them.
After reading the comments, she rubbed her stiff neck and turned off her computer. Having been kidnapped just in the daytime, her body was visibly exhausted. But even more frustrating was the fact that her milk tea date with the junior high students hadn't gone through.
It's not just because this is a rare opportunity to establish a good relationship with the protagonist of "Detective Conan", but also because Kudo Shinichi, Mori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko are indeed beautiful people.
Strength, courage, kindness, loyalty to friendship... so many wonderful qualities.
She wants to be friends with them and create good memories with them.
Under the night sky, a silver-white light flashed across the sky, which did not seem to be a trace of human creation.
"Meteor?" Without paying attention to the recent constellations, Agatsuma Sayuri caught a glimpse of a shooting star.
She quickly imitated the common plots in Japanese comics and started making wishes.
"God, please bless..."
Before he could utter the word "Baoyou", the message notification tone of his cell phone rang out in the room where he was alone.
My wife Sayuri sighed softly. Actually, she didn't need to make a wish because she was already doing what she wanted to wish for.
But after being interrupted so many times in one day, even if she was made of clay, she would be burned into a porcelain figure by her own anger.
"Let me see who's sending me a message at this hour!"
It certainly couldn't be Ryo Koyasu, as they had just spoken on the phone. The way Ryo Koyasu communicated with my wife, Sayuri, was more like a game, a check-in game—they'd complete the process, and then they'd check in. There were no surprise attacks.
The type that you will never meet in the Canyon of Kings after Good Night④.
The phone displayed "Matsuda Jinpei," and Agatsuma Sayuri was genuinely stunned. If there was any impression that Matsuda Jinpei had left on her, it was that, whether in the original story or in real life, he was someone who didn't put his skillset into "communication."
A typical genius with only one subject.
If someone is perceived by others as a poor communicator, knows they are not, and has no desire to communicate unless absolutely necessary, what is the probability that this person (a male) will text a woman they have only met once late at night?
