Chapter 297 Thirty-two Presidents

Furutani Rei woke up in a sweat.

He sat on the bed, holding his forehead and gasping for breath, trying to calm his breathing. His pupils contracted uncontrollably, and the hand on the bed sheet was clenched unconsciously. When he let go, the bed sheet was already wrinkled.

He just had a very long nightmare. In the dream, he and his childhood sweetheart were sweeping someone's grave. On the grave was a familiar name... This scene was too similar to what Rei Furuya had experienced last year. For a moment, Rei Furuya, who was still very clear-headed in his dream, thought he had dreamed about his friend's fake death for the first time in a long time.

It was not until he carefully looked at the tombstone with a nostalgic mood... that he realized that it was not the tomb he was familiar with, the one that Matsuda and his friends had chosen for the little devil, but a tombstone that was completely unfamiliar to him, except for the familiar name engraved on it.

This dream was so real, so real that the moment he understood it, Rei Furiya even imagined himself here sweeping graves, and how the owner of the tomb - his contemporary - had gotten him involved.

The thought in Fūya Rei's heart disappeared instantly, because he realized that it was impossible for him to create such a real and complete dream out of thin air. This could only mean that... a little devil who should be sleeping in the bedroom next to his at this moment, and even came to say good night to him at night, has gone to wander in a parallel world again!

After he came to his senses, Furiya Rei watched all the subsequent developments with a sneer on his face. Especially when he saw the underground interrogation room, it took a lot of effort for him to control himself from waking up immediately out of anger.

Doesn't he know it if others don't know it? Aka, there are obviously many ways to deal with Rum. Instead of thinking about whether his hard work as an undercover agent would be in vain if he just casually dealt with the threat brought by Rum - how could it be in vain? If he could achieve his goal in advance and catch a person like Rum as soon as possible, Furuya Rei would have laughed in his dreams!

What he was more concerned about was that there was obviously a faster solution, but his friend still wasted some time. Why did those torture instruments show signs of fresh use?

Furutani Rei took a deep breath, told himself to stay calm, and then without hesitation, gave someone a harsh remark.

He doesn't mind what his friends do in the parallel world. Ultimately, it's because he trusts Aka and knows that he knows his limits and won't bring disgrace upon the organization just because they're having a miserable time in the parallel world... probably not, right?

Similarly, Rei Furuya also knows that Aka is a playful person, commonly known as a fun-loving person. Knowing that their friends can have a lot of fun while completing missions outside, Rei Furuya and the others actually think this is pretty good.

Of course, the premise is that someone can't take his own safety lightly. Even the strongest can fail, right? The key is that they are not superpowers. Even if Aka fails, they can't immediately go and rescue this guy.

Furutani Rei was very angry, but the mature thirty-year-old public security elite resisted the urge to jump up and make trouble for his friend. He lay back with a gloomy face and tried to fall asleep again.

I have to work overtime at the police station tomorrow, so I'll let the little devil keep this account and pay it back later.

Fūya Rei's eyes were blank: Oh, yes, and the little devil deliberately used his name to cause so much trouble to his counterpart and to do so many pranks...

…

Furutani Rei hypnotized himself, "That's your best friend and you can't kill him, so at most you can just beat him up," and fell into a gloomy sleep.

"I don't understand."

Chi Jiang Na Yue was confused and bewildered: "What does this have to do with my current situation?"

When the detention started, he changed out of his uniform, not even wearing a haori, and now he was wearing casual clothes like a young college student, standing obediently at the entrance to accept the punishment.

In fact, Chi Jiang Na Yue didn't really want to be so obedient, but when he came back from the parallel world this time, a small accident happened... To be honest, even he was not mentally prepared to let his friends discover the little accident.

So with a slight guilty conscience, he accepted the so-called punishment without resistance—standing at the entrance with a sign that read "I love sweet curry the most."

Akae Nazuki looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu in front of him with an accusing look, and the latter looked at him subtly for a while, then asked back, "You really can't think of it, aka?"

"Because I put bitter melon in Jinping-kun's coffee yesterday?"

"Ha, I told you it was you who did it!" Matsuda Jinpei poked his head out from behind the sofa and said smugly, "Now you owe me ten special drinks."

Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head and said calmly: "No, think about it again?"

Akae Nazuki frowned, raised her hand to give Matsuda Jinpei an OK sign, and lowered her head to think, "Is it because I changed Zero's tie to a pink polka dot one?"

"So you changed Zero-chan's tie." Hagiwara Kenji also leaned over from Matsuda Jinpei's left and said with emotion, "I thought he tied it wrong."

"With Zero's serious personality, if he tied it wrong, he would definitely realize it before leaving the house." Date Kou leaned back and sank comfortably into the sofa, complaining, "Last time Jinpei changed his shampoo, he still found out before washing his hair."

Morofushi Kagemitsu's sharp eyes flicked to Matsuda Jinpei for a moment, but quickly flicked back: "Not this, what else?"

"..." Akae Nayue immediately put on a pitiful expression, "You can't bully me like this, Hiro-kun, you have to remind me of the general idea, right?"

As the door behind him was pushed open, Furiya Rei's voice sounded unhappily, "You did something bad yourself, and you still need someone to remind you what you did? Didn't you say that that's not like a 'little devil' at all?"

The blond police officer was standing at the entrance changing his shoes, his face still showing the seriousness of his work life, his suit was faintly stained with the smell of pornography, it seemed that he had just finished a thrilling 'police mission' before coming back.

Of course, the tie had long been replaced with an ordinary tie used as a spare in the office. Akajinazuki regretted missing the chance to see the pink polka dot Furuya Rei again.

"Well..." Chijiang Nayue felt so innocent, "Is it because of the parallel world? But this time I shouldn't have done anything to make you so angry, right?" He said righteously.

As soon as he mentioned this, the five people present all recalled the experience of waking up from their dreams twice last night.

"Of course it's not because of that." Morobushi Kagemitsu sighed, "We are all happy that you can consider your own body more when making plans, and we are proud that you are doing what you think is right. This-"

He pointed at the sign hanging on Chijiang Nayue's body and said, "We need to trace it back a little further."

No way, are you starting to bring up old issues?

The savior with a long criminal record finally had a foreboding premonition in his heart. He always believed in his keen intuition that he had developed in times of crisis, so he seized the opportunity to jump back, nimbly avoiding the hand that Furutani Rei stretched out to block him, and quickly slipped out the door without any hesitation before the two young followers could make a move.

"I suddenly remembered that the teacher wanted to see me for something, so I'll go to Mr. Odasaku's house first." He turned around and stuck his head out of the door frame, looking at them sincerely, "I will be back before dinner!"

"Aka is really..." Furuya Rei almost laughed out of anger, "I just wanted to ask him if we could help him when he went to the parallel world to do the mission, but he ran away before I even said anything. How many things did he do that he dare not say?"

"Forget it, we can still ask him tonight." Morofushi Jingguang said helplessly, and then he remembered the look on his friend's face just now, thinking that they were going to pursue the matter for a long time, and he couldn't help laughing, "Aka, it's good to just go on like this."

"Jinpei-chan often tells me that," Hagiwara Kenji spread his hands. "But every time Nazuki-chan does something naughty, he changes his mind and says, 'When will you stop being so childish, you little bastard?' -- Ouch!"

Matsuda Jinpei threw a pillow and hit Hagiwara Kenji on the back of his head: "Don't say anything, Hagi!"

Morofushi Jingguang seized the opportunity and suddenly seemed to remember something: "By the way, Zero, it seems that the one who replaced your shampoo last time was not Aka, but Zhenping."

Matsuda Jinpei, who was originally arguing with his childhood sweetheart, was startled and looked up at Furuya Rei whose expression changed instantly. His personality, which had calmed down over the years, was vulnerable in front of this group of close friends with whom he had gone through so many ups and downs, and he would always turn back to the way he was in the police academy in a second.

Specifically, he has been very interested in fighting with Furuya Rei for eight years.

The two people's eyes met, and the next second——

Ida Kou, who rarely lived in Akae after his marriage, called a halt.

"If you want to play, go to the gym on the second floor." The squad leader, who is already a father of a one-year-old child, said calmly, skillfully, and concisely, "I just mopped the living room this morning."

"So, Brother Yue, you're hiding here with me?" Hei Yu Kaidou wanted to laugh but couldn't. "Your house is always so lively - but it's all thanks to that dream. I finally understand what the big detective meant when he complained to me before."

As one of the people who came into close contact with Akae Nazuki during this mission, Kuroba Kaito also had that dream, and in the dream he was bullied very pitifully by the elder in front of him (according to his own account).

Therefore, when Chi Jiang Na Yue appeared in his house, he behaved like this after listening to the story.

I originally thought it was just a dream, but it turned out to be something that really happened.

Since there was a real witch among his classmates, Kuroba Kaito was not particularly surprised by this and accepted it well.

However, although his relationship with Na Yue is good, it is far inferior to the relationship between Na Yue and the great detective, right? Why would he think of looking for him instead of going to Kudo Shinichi at this time? Kuroba Kaito is still curious about this matter.

Akajina Yue remained calm and said with a brilliant smile, "I'm here to invite you, too. Let's go ride the Suzuki Express together this weekend, shall we?"

The impression left by Kuroba Kaito on that train was definitely not good... But could he just refuse? Please, the thief was also curious about why this former police officer and current detective suddenly came to invite him in person!

Kuroba Kaito was confident that he could handle most of the unexpected situations. He curled his lips and accepted the invitation in a light tone: "Since it was you who said that, Brother Yue, I am really sorry to refuse."

"Ah, come to think of it, don't you want to drink this cup of coffee?" Hei Yu Kai Dou changed the subject and asked casually, "I made my own iced Americano, so it shouldn't taste bad."

The black-haired savior was sitting opposite him. Hearing this, he froze for a moment for some reason, then shook his head as if nothing had happened.

"I appreciate your kindness." Chi Jiang Na Yue said with a smile, without even touching the cup, "but I don't really feel like drinking now, sorry."
