Chapter 70
After the thief-catching plan was over, Kagano Satoshi treated the entire biker group to a barbecue as agreed, and everyone played together until late at night. So he received the invitation from the two hot-shot people in the □□ handling class at noon the next day.
Although they are talked-about figures, in fact, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda have become some of the most popular figures in the mobile unit since the day they joined the National Police Agency because of their outstanding appearance and superb bomb disposal skills.
Before long, even many senior members of the mobile team were impressed by their abilities and recommended them to become captains of the two teams.
However, it was not until the bomber's extortion case that their fame finally broke through the dimensional wall between different departments of the Metropolitan Police Department and became the new topic of the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
As for the reasons, Hagiwara Kenji's fame is naturally because of his accurate judgment and extraordinary luck in this case, which is really enviable. Matsuda Jinpei's fame is because he violated the regulations and used violence to enforce the law during the arrest of the criminal, and the bomber he brought back to the Metropolitan Police Department was directly knocked unconscious.
So the reason why they had time to invite Satoshi Kagamino out for dinner today was because Kenji Hagiwara happened to be on vacation today, and Jinpei Matsuda was suspended by the Metropolitan Police Department for violent law enforcement.
"Haha! Brother Jinping, you are so mean. Look how popular Brother Yanji is now. Even the waitress just now recognized that he had been on TV and took the initiative to ask for Brother Yanji's contact information. But Brother Jinping, you were recorded on TV by the TV station and became a negative example because you beat a prisoner. Now the whole of Tokyo has recognized your fierce face."
After learning the reason for Matsuda Jinpei's suspension, Satoshi Kagino laughed so hard that he almost slammed the table.
Matsuda Jinpei sighed in frustration and complained:
"I just dragged the bomber out of the police car and wanted to bring him into the Metropolitan Police Department. Who knew that a reporter happened to be filming at the time and happened to take a photo of the bomber's wound, and I was caught like that."
He glanced at Hagiwara Kenji again and became even more depressed:
"Hey, Hagi, you're laughing too. I did that for you."
Hagiwara Kenji's shoulders were shaking with laughter. Hearing this, he suppressed his laughter and said with a trembling voice:
"Sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but I really can't help it, haha!"
"Hello!"
Jinpei Matsuda's face immediately turned dark.
Kenji Hagiwara wiped away the tears from laughing and finally managed to control his emotions.
"Actually, it's because you always have a ferocious attitude towards everyone, and this time your expression was so scary that everyone thought you were finally going to get violent.
In addition, the police were photographed by reporters using violence against the suspect, which has a bad impact on the Metropolitan Police Department, so we simply gave you a three-day suspension, which also gave you some time to rest. "
Kagino Tomo, who had just laughed so hard that his throat was dry, was drinking juice now. Hearing this, he asked in confusion:
"Have a good rest? Are you usually very tired from work?"
"It's not that I feel tired every day, but everyone has been busy with the bomber's matter in the past few days, so everyone wants to have a good rest more or less."
Hagiwara Kenji glanced at Kagino Satoshi.
"Where's Xiaozhi? I heard you've been busy catching thieves these days. Are you tired?"
Kagino Satoshi's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said perfunctorily:
"It's OK. Actually, I didn't do anything. I just gave some advice. I think Fujita Ichiro and his team are more reliable. They caught the guy by chance."
"Humph! How can you be so lucky? You split the bikers into two groups in advance, recorded the whole process with surveillance video, and even prepared a signal jammer in advance. You are so lucky!"
Matsuda Jinpei snorted coldly and looked straight at him with his dark eyes, making Kagino Satoshi even more guilty.
Hagiwara Kenji immediately winked at Matsuda Jinpei and then tried to smooth things over:
"Although the preparations were a bit much, they all came in handy in the end. However, I really didn't expect that although Xiaozhi is young, his command ability is amazing. He is worthy of being a genius who received an invitation from the University of Tokyo at the age of only thirteen!"
After saying this, Hagiwara Kenji looked at Kagamino Satoshi and was relieved to see that he had raised his head again with a proud expression. Then he suddenly said in a serious tone:
"No matter what, in the end, it was because of your planning and preparation that my teammates and I were able to stay safe. So no matter what, thank you for your hard work and dedication, Xiaozhi."
Kenji Hagiwara thanked Kagamino Tomo very earnestly. His purple drooping eyes were so sincere and gentle that Kagamino Tomo suddenly felt embarrassed.
"It's nothing, actually. And Kenji is a good man, how could he die at the hands of that kind of person?"
Hearing these words that almost seemed like tacit agreement, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda looked at each other, and both saw the look of disbelief in each other's eyes.
However, before they could ask, they heard Kagino Satoshi continue to speak without noticing anything:
"And I said before, I will definitely protect Kenji and Jinpei. This promise will always be valid."
The two of them immediately stopped trying to speak.
After a while, when Kagamino Satoshi almost thought that the two of them had suddenly become mute, he looked over curiously, only to see that Hagiwara Kenji suddenly covered his face with his hands and laughed softly.
Kagino Satoshi looked at him blankly, totally unaware of what was so ridiculous about what he said.
So he asked directly:
"What on earth are you laughing at, Kenji?"
"...No, nothing."
Hagiwara Kenji sat up straight again, and when he looked at Kagamino Satoshi again, his expression became a little serious.
"It's like this, Xiaozhi. Actually, Xiaozhenping and I have always wanted to ask you a question. Although we can guess it even if you don't say it, if you are a friend, it is better to ask it directly in person."
Kagino Tomo nodded helplessly, not knowing for a moment whether he should be happy that Hagiwara Kenji finally called him a friend, or worried about the obvious difficult questions that would come next.
Seeing that Kagano Satoshi looked a little nervous, Hagiwara Kenji once again softened his tone, smiled soothingly, and continued:
"Of course, this is just a conversation between friends. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. We just want to know whether you are behind the sudden disclosure of the arrest of the bomber by the media and the sudden investigation of Fukuyama, the Metropolitan Police Department's superintendent,."
Satoshi Kagino still remembered what Jinpei Matsuda once said, that secrets are only shared with family and friends. So after Kenji Hagiwara said, "It's just a conversation between friends," Satoshi Kagino suddenly felt that as long as it was not related to comic books, there was nothing he couldn't tell them about his other secrets.
After all, they were already his friends, and Kagino Satoshi could clearly feel that they both viewed him in the same way.
So after Hagiwara Kenji asked, Kagino Satoshi looked at him seriously and said:
"In fact, I didn't disclose it to the media specifically. I just showed the hidden achievements of the bosozoku.
I want others to know that bosozoku are not that bad. They are also capable of doing good things and helping the police catch bad guys.
As for the fact that it was later picked up and publicized by the media, that is the business of those media.
And the matter about Police Inspector Fukuyama that you mentioned..."
Satoshi Kagino noticed that the expressions of both Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda became more serious unconsciously, and it was obvious that this was what really worried them.
"If you hadn't told me about the incident involving Inspector Fukuyama, I wouldn't have known that he was under investigation. But if he was under investigation, would he be more responsible in the future and not ignore the safety of his subordinates?"
Seeing that Kagino Satoshi clearly wanted to applaud, the two of them actually breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew that Kagino Satoshi was an absolute genius, but it was not until the end of this case that they truly realized the extent of Kagino Satoshi's talent.
It is for this reason that after they realized that Kagino Satoshi was behind the whole case, they became particularly worried, fearing that Kagino Satoshi would use his talents to do things that go beyond the boundaries of morality and law.
Therefore, today's meeting, whether it was a test at the beginning or a direct questioning later, was actually to help Kagino Satoshi in time before we found out that he had done something irreversible.
But now it seems that they were worrying too much.
Kagino Satoshi may have contributed in unknown ways, but his intentions were good. And for a 13-year-old boy, this was enough.
Since the two parties are already friends, they will naturally keep an eye on Kagamino Tomota in the future. If they find that he is likely to go astray, they will naturally pull him back in time.
So now, the only thing Kenji Hagiwara needs to do is apologize.
He sat up straight, bent down directly in the direction of Kagano Satoshi, buried his head on the table, and said loudly:
"Xiaozhi, we are very sorry. We misunderstood you before and were very rude to try to test you. We promise that we will not do this again in the future. Please forgive us."
As he spoke, Hagiwara Kenji reached out his hand and slapped Matsuda Jinpei on the back of the head, pressing his head onto the table with a "bang" sound.
Matsuda Jinpei took a deep breath but did not resist.
Kagino Satoshi blinked his eyes, not understanding why it was like they were trying to test him when it was just a simple chat and they just asked him questions directly.
But none of this matters. The key point is that they bowed and apologized so solemnly that I felt so embarrassed.
So Kagino Satoshi quickly said:
"Come on, sit up. I forgive you. And we are all friends, right? There is no need to apologize so solemnly!"
Hagiwara Kenji then released his hand from Matsuda Jin's flat head, sat up again, and said with a smile:
"It is precisely because we are friends that we need to apologize. So, Xiaozhi, do you want any compensation?"
Kagino Satoshi originally wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly had a very tempting idea, so he looked at Hagiwara Kenji expectantly:
"Can you really ask for anything?"
Kagino Tomoasa's brown eyes sparkled, and the warm color made him look energetic. Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help but become more curious about his request, so he opened his mouth:
"What do you think?"
Kagino Satoshi said excitedly:
"I heard that Brother Kenji is a very good driver. Can you take me out for a spin?"
Hagiwara Kenji laughed and said:
"What's the problem? If you like, I can take you out now."
Kagino Satoshi immediately cheered a little.
So the two of them took advantage of the free time today and simply went out, leaving the arduous task of settling the bill to Jinpei Matsuda.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
Since he had not been to Beido Town very often and was not familiar with the nearby roads where he could drive at a high speed, Kenji Hagiwara simply drove along the highway towards Beika Town.
There were not many cars on the road. Hagiwara Kenji gradually increased the speed of the car. Kagino Satoshi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he looked extremely excited.
Hagiwara Kenji smiled and said:
"It seems like you really like racing. No wonder you joined the biker gang so quickly."
Kagino Satoshi nodded:
"Yes, it's very exciting. I will definitely buy a car of my own in the future. Then Yan Er will teach me how to drive."
However, as they drove on, Kagino Satoshi's brows gradually wrinkled. He looked at the familiar hill in the distance and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
If there was nothing wrong with my eyes, why did the mountain look so familiar?
It is exactly the same as the mountain in the children's welfare home. No, it's not similar, it's exactly the same!
For no apparent reason, Satoshi Kagino felt a great sense of panic.
He suddenly turned pale and bent down, covering his chest with his right hand. The strong palpitation made him hold his breath, but his intuition kept reminding him that there was danger and he had to hurry over! He had to hurry!
The car suddenly stopped, and a pair of warm and strong hands supported Kagano Satoshi. Hagiwara Kenji's anxious voice sounded above his head:
"Xiaozhi? How are you? Are you suddenly carsick? Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital right now."
"No! Don't go anywhere else!"
Kagino Satoshi suddenly grabbed Hagiwara Kenji's arm. He used all his strength and looked into Hagiwara Kenji's eyes for help. His other hand pointed in the direction of the hill and said anxiously:
"Brother Yanji, take me to that direction quickly, and be quick! ... It's dangerous!"
