Chapter 266 Eleven Villains

Matsuda Jinpei sat on his suitcase and scratched the ground with the tip of his shoe, which then hit the back of his childhood friend.

His face showed that he was still sleepy. He yawned sleepily and said, "Why do I have to come to this damn place with you guys on a good day off..."

As soon as they came out of the ticket gate of Hakata Station, the other young couple and the class leader had already tacitly run straight to the nearby souvenir mall. Only the two of them who had been to Hakata before were not interested in it, so they stayed here and waited for them.

In response, Hagiwara's tone was also helpless: "Apart from anything else, we were also invited by Miss Aiko, it's not good to let her go... But speaking of it, shouldn't souvenirs be bought before leaving?"

Because most souvenirs are edible, if you buy them too far in advance, their taste and deliciousness will be greatly reduced.

"Oh." Matsuda Jinpei recalled briefly, "You were called away by the foreigner at that time... I remember the squad leader said it was because the gift he wanted to give to his girlfriend was limited edition, and it happened to be available at Hakata Station, and today was the deadline. The other two probably just went to join in the fun."

Kenji Hagihara suddenly realized: "It's a gift for my girlfriend, no wonder."

But he didn't think that Morofushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei were just there to join in the fun, Hagiwara Kenji thought.

As for those two people, they were probably secretly planning how to sneak out and explore without telling them, right?

He and Xiao Zhenping had been to Hakata a long time ago, and during that time they encountered terrorist attacks, countless massacres, gunfights, and various murders and abandoned corpses in Hakata that most people would never encounter in their lifetime...

They almost started to doubt whether there were any laws in Hakata.

But in reality, ordinary people outside still think of Hakata as a normal and prosperous city. Those dark things are suppressed inside Hakata and are unlikely to see the light of day.

After that school trip, Xiao Zhenping's distrust of the police reached a new high, but at the same time, it seemed to have strengthened his determination to apply for the police academy. No matter how curious he asked, Yu Meiran still told him nothing.

Kenji Hagiwara could actually guess a little bit... During the school trip, they met very few truly competent police officers in Hakata. Whether it was the Fukuoka Police Headquarters or the Hakata Police Station, they had even run into a guy in police uniform and a man who was obviously a gangster doing business openly!

The reason for coming to Hakata this time was, firstly, as he had told Jinpei Matsuda, that he did not want to break the invitation, and secondly, because he had learned from the squad leader that Ko-Natsuki was confirmed to go.

As for actually traveling, Kenji Hagiwara never even considered it, so naturally he was not interested in buying souvenirs or anything like that.

Then again, it was because he and Xiao Zhenping knew quite a bit about the situation in Hakata - at least they had a certain understanding of the dark side, and they had specifically explained it to their other three friends before setting off.

They all knew in their hearts that no matter what, if they really encountered a case, they would not sit idly by or turn a blind eye. Those explanations would only make them consider safety issues more before taking action.

And it probably had a counter-effect. If nothing unexpected happened, the three of them would definitely choose to observe on their own and then draw conclusions.

Thinking of this, Hagiwara Kenji sighed with a distressed look on his face: "If something unexpected happens this time, I really hope that the person who comes will be Officer Shigematsu or Officer Takeda."

"...Huh? What kind of ghost story are you telling?" Matsuda Jinpei's face darkened when he heard Shigematsu's name, and he rubbed his arms vigorously, "I don't want to meet that guy again!"

Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help laughing: "No, Jinpei~ Shouting 'those guys' - those two are our seniors now, you will get beaten up if you do that! It will be terrible if this pretty face gets disfigured again."

"Besides, Xiao Zhenping actually thinks so, right?" The young man with half-long hair looked at his companions who were gradually walking towards them not far away, and said cheerfully, "Meeting those two seniors is the safest thing for this trip to Hakata."

After all, he was a senior police officer who was able to remain clean and honest in the Hakata Police Station, where almost two-thirds of his colleagues were in cahoots with the underworld and no one from superiors to subordinates supported or enforced the so-called justice! He was indeed a super-just policeman!

This is also why, even though they had personally experienced how terrifying Hakata's dark side was, Kenji Hagiwara and Jinpei Matsuda only tried to persuade others but did not really stop it.

Although there are many shameful things in this city, there are also others who are working hard to save it.

Matsuda Jinpei curled his lips. He did not refute what Hagiwara Kenji said, but approached the issue from another angle. After yawning again, he said to Yumiran in a rather speechless manner: "Hagi, is it possible that we won't encounter a case involving that bearded uncle and his gang this time? We are just here for a trip, not to settle down!"

Kenji Hagiwara, who had never thought about this because the mention of Hakata reminded him of the troubled school trip that year, fell into a state of frustrated forward bend when a few people from Furuya approached him.

"What's wrong with Hagiwara?" Furukaya Rei asked in confusion, carrying a bag of Japanese sweets that he was going to eat when he got to the hotel.

"Nothing, if I must say." The curly-haired young man raised his thumb, gloating, "Probably looking for a time machine."

The hotel address was written on the invitation ticket given by Aiko. The five of them walked out of the Hakata Exit for about a minute and saw the sign of the hot spring hotel. It can be said that it was very close.

When they got closer, they found that there were still a few wreaths placed at the door of the hotel, and the ground was covered with colorful confetti. It seemed that this place had just opened not long ago, just as Aiko said.

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked around for a while and said, "It seems that the moon has not come out yet."

They had contacted Akajinazuki in advance, and she said that she would come to Hakata in advance and would not go with them. They could just gather at the hotel entrance.

By the way, in order to facilitate communication, these people simply formed a discussion group called "Hakata Trip", and Hagiwara Kenji was finally able to get Akae Nazuki's contact information here.

Although because of the police academy life, they could only talk to Chijiang Nayue in the group this week. The boy was always elusive and was nowhere to be seen most of the time. The others also unconsciously became a little more casual in addressing him.

Even though their group name was once criticized for being so tacky that it sounded like a cheap senior citizen tour group from somewhere…

"Ah." Hagiwara Kenji took a moment to look up from his phone screen. "Natsuki-chan said he had an emergency and asked us to check in first. He will be here soon."

Fortunately, these police academy students, who were still big boys, were very efficient. While completing their own check-in procedures, they also helped a certain teenager who had not arrived yet to complete the procedures. So when Akajiang Nayue appeared at the door of the hotel, Furugaya Rei, who had just received the door card, jogged over there.

"Akae, your door card—" Furiya Ling's steps slowed down hesitantly, and finally stopped a few steps away from Akae, his face full of curiosity, "Is this child... your relative?"

At the hotel entrance, besides Chijiang Nayue dragging a dark red suitcase, there was also a black-haired little boy who was holding onto the edge of the boy's clothes and following him closely like a tail. When he saw him looking over, the child raised his head and glanced at him as well, his eyes full of curiosity, without any sign of shyness at all.

Although he is called a little boy, he actually looks to be about ten years old. There is a cunning light in his blue eyes, and he looks like a smart and polite child.

After being asked this question, Chijiang Nayue paused for a few seconds before turning her head to look down at the little boy's eyes.

"Come to think of it," he said, "what is your name?"

—

What Akae told his peers that he came here on his own because he had something to do was not an excuse. He really had something to do that day and was going to come to Hakata anyway, so he thought to himself that it was a wonderful coincidence.

Although considering the purpose of his coming here, this coincidence is not that wonderful.

Who made it possible for him to be accompanied by a group of energetic police reservists this time, and for him to do bad things right under their noses?

Oh, just thinking about it makes me feel excited. The excitement is second only to the time when I teased Zero as Kaluuya without Zero knowing.

Out of protection for the gorillas of the same period, Akae Nazuki refused Gin's arrangement to accompany her in name only but to monitor her in reality, and drove to Hakata alone.

Then, he picked up this familiar-looking little thing outside the Tsukushi Exit.

There are two exits in JR Hakata Station, one is the Hakata Exit where Furuya Rei and his companions exited, and the other is the Chikushi Exit. These two exits are in completely opposite directions, which is one of the reasons why Akae was late that month.

When he met the child, he was leaning against a stone pillar outside the station, with his head down, amusing himself, as if waiting for someone.

Because the face looked so familiar, Chijiang Nayue took a few more glances at the child, and then quickly realized that the child was actually alone. It looked like he had missed his stop and was thinking about how to get back.

Ten years old, in Hakata, alone?

Very good, putting these three phrases together, he can name twenty different criminal cases on the spot.

In order to ensure that the child would not be caught for wandering alone on the streets of Hakata, their second meeting was in the lost children section of the newspaper. Akae Nayue sighed silently, stepped forward and took the initiative to pick up the familiar child.

Of course, the child was still very alert and knew that he should pretend to be waiting for someone. When the boy came up, he did not really follow him as soon as they met. Instead, he exchanged a few words with him politely and distantly.

Until Akae Nayue checked the time. According to his memory of Hakata, the hot spring steamed buns of the flavor he wanted to eat so much were about to be sold out. The hot spring hotel recommended by Aiko also existed in Hakata in the main world, and its business became very popular. The delicious hot spring steamed buns were one of the reasons.

He wasn't going to waste any more time.

Thinking of this, Chijiang Nayue dialed a person's phone, and while the little boy was talking suspiciously to the person on the other end of the phone, he slowly spoke to the book in his mind.

[I have a student, he is a handsome boy with black hair and blue eyes, very smart, very popular among male and female classmates, and later became very famous.] Chijiang Nayue said deeply.

[Book] No doubt: [Oh, you mean Shin-chan, right?]

【From today on, this sentence can also refer to Kaito-kun. 】

【Book】:?

[Book] Once again, in his heart, he let out a sharp explosion for Kudo Shinichi from the main world.

The scene switches back to the hotel entrance at the same time. When asked his name, the little boy is shocked: "Huh? You don't know?"

When this man came up to him and said that he was an acquaintance of an acquaintance of his father, he doubted the authenticity of the story. But after he confirmed it on the phone with Sharon Wynyard, whom he had met many times before, he felt much more relieved.

In addition, after spending some time together, he found that this person really had nothing to lie to him, and was also an older brother who seemed to like children and was very respectful to him, so he felt even more relaxed.

As a result, I don’t even know his name!

The little boy's reproachful look did not defeat the calm adult, so he curled his lips, his expression changed, and he flipped his wrist, and a light red rose appeared in his hand. He seemed to be completely in business mode.

"My name is Kuroba Kaito, the future great magician." The black-haired, blue-eyed boy smiled at the people who looked over and said, "Please give me your guidance, big brothers."
