Chapter 67 The First Player

The moment he saw Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji in casual clothes, Morofushi Kagemitsu suddenly realized where his bad premonition came from.

Furuya Rei mentioned to him the day before yesterday that he had accidentally met Matsuda and Hagiwara eating here two days ago. Of course, Furuya Rei only saw them that day, but he had no intention of meeting them. He just left quietly after a one-sided meeting.

But when I mentioned it to Morobushi Kagemitsu, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart.

When the two of them were mentioned at that time, Furuya Rei focused more on other aspects and only mentioned the name of the hotel and its surroundings in passing. Morofushi Kagemitsu also did not pay special attention to this aspect, so naturally he did not have a deep impression of it.

If he had paid more attention to the fact that the place Zero mentioned was here... Morofu Jingguang would have been annoyed. If he had remembered earlier, he would have tried his best to change the Cointreau to another hotel before stepping in, or just take them somewhere else.

There is no need to face such an embarrassing situation now——

Like Zero and Kazuma, he never met anyone he knew again after joining the organization. When he met Hagiwara and Matsuda again under such circumstances, he didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

However, his current appearance has changed a lot from before he joined the organization. Although he is not completely unrecognizable, if you don't observe carefully, no one would associate him with the policeman "Morobushi Kagemitsu" in the Metropolitan Police Department, right?

Now he can only hope that his two friends of the same period have worse eyesight, or that their acting skills are good enough and their reactions are quick enough.

And Cointreau... Zero had mentioned to him before that both Matsuda and Hagiwara had had interactions with Cointreau, but judging from his words and actions, fortunately Cointreau didn't seem to want to reveal his identity... It was the only lucky thing in this misfortune.

And judging from what he meant by that sentence... today's incident was probably not deliberately arranged by Cointreau, but an accident? Cointreau also did not discover his identity - otherwise, according to his loyalty to the organization and his disgust for "undercover" and "traitors", he would not have such an attitude at this moment.

Zhu Fu Jingguang simply remained silent, lowered his head slightly, drooped his eyelids, and put on a cold and stern look of "no entry", pretending to be a silent shadow.

Fortunately, although his reaction just now seemed a bit big, Shirley didn't look much better either - Zhu Fu Jingguang took the time to look at Shirley in his remaining eyes. The little girl with short brown hair had her eyes wide open, like a frightened cat.

Cointreau didn't care about their reactions and only looked... quite happy?

Xihai Haruto was indeed in a good mood.

He thinks he is pretty lucky.

It was worth his hard work and inspiration over the past two days, as he successfully completed the work ahead of schedule today. He had a reason to bring Morobushi Kagemitsu and Miyano Shiho here.

From Saikai Haruto's perspective, this meeting was certainly not a "coincidence" or "accident", but something he had planned intentionally or unintentionally.

——The forum updated a new episode the night before yesterday. The new episode clearly showed that Furuya Rei met Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji here the day before yesterday. In the manga, Nishimi Haruto also knew that these two people liked to eat at this restaurant in recent days.

Although he didn't know when they would suddenly change hotels, and he wasn't sure if they would still be there today, and whether he could meet them by chance... But, he had met them now, didn't he? This showed that his luck was still good.

After staying at home for half a month, it’s time for him to think of a way to get a few scenes in comics.

"Don't be afraid, sister, these two police officers are good people."

Haruto Nishimi patted Miyano Shiho's tense and stiff shoulders soothingly, and smiled brightly at Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara.

Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara also quickly recognized Haruto Nishimi - not to mention that they had just seen him a month ago, but this guy was also a very conspicuous and unforgettable guy. He would be the most conspicuous one standing in a crowd, and people would even subconsciously ignore the other people around him. There was no reason for them not to recognize him.

At the same time, the shadow-like figures beside him, Morobushi Kagemitsu and Miyano Shiho, seemed slightly less conspicuous.

Hagiwara Kenji looked at Nishimi Haruto and then at Matsuda, and was the first to stand up from his chair and greet him with a smile: "Hagen-kun? What a coincidence, you and Kojinpei also know each other? Are you with your friends? It just so happens that we just started eating."

"I didn't expect that the two police officers were also friends. What a coincidence. I am so lucky to meet you here."

Xi Hai Qing Dou smiled and sat next to the two of them in a very familiar manner.

"I came here to celebrate a small research project I just completed today. I heard that this restaurant has good food, so I came here."

He waved to Miyano Shiho and Morofushi Kagemitsu, signaling them to come over as well.

"How come you two always know someone wherever you go?"

Matsuda Jinpei was shocked and said with a half-moon eye: "Hey, Hagi, you never told me that you also knew Yuen."

He also didn't expect that Kenji Hagiwara and "Chiaki Uehara" actually knew each other?

"Eh, no? I thought you and I had mentioned that Yuyuan-kun was the guy I met at the convenience store and helped me subdue the robber. Did you forget? But you, Xiaozhenping, didn't you mention it to me at all? It's really sad that you, Xiaozhenping, are hiding a secret from me too."

Kenji Hagiwara joked with a smile on his face.

"Huh? You didn't mention Yu Yuan's name, did you? How did I know it was the same person?"

Matsuda Jinpei protested, and immediately changed the subject with a guilty conscience - Oh no, he was discovered by Kenji's gang. He indeed hadn't mentioned Yuen to him... After all, it was just an ordinary act of bravery, so there was no need to mention it specifically, right?

"Is this your friend, Yuen?" His gaze shifted to Miyano Shiho and Morofushi Kagemitsu.

Saikai Haruto brought Miyano Shiho to sit next to him: "This is my sister, Miyano Shiho; and this is Midorikawa Yui, the temporary housekeeper and half-colleague I borrowed from a colleague."

Miyano Shiho adjusted her breathing and tried not to appear too nervous. Calm down. It was just sitting with Cointreau and two policemen. Cointreau didn't care, so what was she afraid of?

She nodded coldly to Matsuda and Hagiwara.

Morofushi Kagemitsu, who was unexpectedly assigned the role of "temporary butler", sat opposite Saikai Haruto and nodded indifferently, giving an attitude of "no entry for strangers".

At this moment he was very grateful that it was him who appeared here instead of Zero or Kazuma - at least he could still struggle a little and bet that his disguise was not bad, and the two colleagues of the same period did not recognize him.

Fortunately, his luck was pretty good, and Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara's attention was temporarily focused on Miyano Shiho.

"Eh? Yuyuan, don't you two have the same last name?"

"Guardian? Yuyuan, you don't look old enough, do you?"

"I'm just your sister's temporary guardian. We are not related by blood." Saikai Haruto said frankly, "and my last name is not the same as my father's."

"Although I look young, I am actually quite old. When the two police officers were born, I was not even in this country."

He was not wrong. To be more precise, when Matsuda and Hagiwara were born, he had not yet come into this world, and "Cointreau" was certainly not in this country.

But it was obvious that both Matsuda and Hagiwara took his words as a joke.

"Eh, really? Yuyuan, you look like you just graduated from school."

Hagiwara smiled politely, looked him up and down, and said seriously, stroking his chin, "If you say that... Could it be that you have the same last name as your mother? Or... Ah, Yuyuan, could you be a mixed-race? Your features do look deeper than those of Asians."

Matsuda Jinpei also showed a suspicious look: "Huh? She doesn't look like she's that old. I mean, not everything is better the bigger it is."

"Well, Officer Hagiwara made a very careful observation. My father is Soviet...former Soviet."

Saikai Haruto said, his smile seemed to be tinged with mystery: "As for age... If the two officers don't believe it, then forget it. Being mistaken for a young person is not a bad thing."

"How could I possibly believe that?" Matsuda Jinpei complained, "I now understand how you and Hagi became friends... With your personality and your ability to make friends anywhere, if you two didn't look completely different, I would have suspected that you were some kind of lost twin brothers."

Just this ability of "having friends everywhere" and "making friends as soon as they meet", oh, and by the way, they are both very talented in mechanics... They are simply too similar.

"Hey, Hagi, what do you think?" He poked Hagihara Kenji, who seemed to be distracted, with his elbow.

"Ah, I also think that Yuyuan and I have a strong connection." Hagiwara Kenji came to his senses and smiled.

Nishimi Haruto followed Hagiwara Kenji's gaze and moved to Morobushi Keimitsu, narrowing his eyes slightly and smiling: "Do Officer Hagiwara and Midorikawa know each other?"

Morofushi Jingguang's heart skipped a beat, but he still maintained his "Scottish" personality. He frowned and glanced at Hagiwara Kenji with a cold look, and spoke coldly before Hagiwara: "Don't be ridiculous, I don't know any policemen."

It's completely the same attitude as treating a stranger he has never met before, with a hint of dissatisfaction and rejection - as a member of the "organization", it is normal to have no good feelings towards the police... To be honest, Cointreau, who can "make friends" with Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara, is the abnormal one.

...Luckily, he had received voice training before joining the organization. The voice of "Midorikawa Yui" is not very similar to that of "Murofushi Kagemitsu", so Kenji shouldn't find any flaws, right?

Hagiwara Kenji raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled naturally: "That's not the case... I just think that this Midorikawa-kun looks a bit like a friend of mine. My friend is still on a business trip and I haven't seen him for a while, so when I saw Midorikawa-kun just now, I thought of him a little bit."

"Hmm? Who are you talking about, Kenji?" Matsuda Jinpei also became interested and turned his curious gaze to Morobushi Kagemitsu.

Morofu Jingguang's heart was pounding wildly for a while.
