Chapter 173 Tomorrow's Blossom
The campsite is located in a mountainous area far from the city. There are many factories scattered around, which are also far from the city. They are scattered in the somewhat desolate suburbs.
Pharmaceutical factories, excluding those where employees are working today and operating normally, and those that cannot be reached within 40 minutes by driving at the fastest speed, the information personnel in the General Affairs Office quickly selected the places that meet the conditions. There are
two places in total, just on the southeast sides of the campsite.
The group searching on the mountain quickly went down the mountain and rushed to the chemical plant on the east side. Hagiwara Kenji took the driver's seat and drove this black car with not very good performance like a sports car, rushing straight to another destination.
Compared to the car interior which was particularly dim due to the special windows that did not let in much light, the huge French windows of the Polo Cafe let the bright sunlight at noon illuminate the entire store.
"I'm sorry, but I have to trouble you to come here to pick up Ayumi." After sending the last child to the parents who had hurried over after receiving the news, Tsukiyama Asari breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to his seat and touched the phone in his pocket that contained the information about the unlucky little detective who was implicated in the incident. Amuro Toru, who was wearing a
work apron, came over at the right time and placed a glass of specially prepared honey lemonade in front of him. The black-haired man took it and took a sip. It was only refreshing and cool. I don't know what the excellent employee with blond hair and dark skin added to it. The sour taste of the lemon was well covered.
"Don't worry." There was no one in the store now. Azusa Enomoto had taken another day off today, so there was nothing to do in the store. The idle waiter simply sat down opposite his boss.
Amuro Toru held his head, also secretly worried about his current situation, but his identity on the surface was just an ordinary coffee shop employee, and to put it more, he was just a disciple of the famous detective Kogoro Mori.
With this identity, he could enter and exit many murder scenes handled by the Investigation Division 1, but it was impossible for him to interfere in any tasks related to the General Affairs Office. This department specializing in illegal drugs is like the public security. It has very strict requirements for confidentiality. They can take the initiative to seek cooperation with police officers from other departments of the Metropolitan Police Department, but it is impossible for them to reveal any information to him, an outsider, let alone let him participate.
Now this outstanding public security undercover, who was once the first in the police academy, can only wait quietly for news like Tsukiyama Asari, an ordinary coffee shop owner and family member.
Thinking of this, Amuro Toru concealed the emotions in his eyes, raised his head and looked at the man opposite calmly.
Tsukiyama Asari, who had experienced a lot in a month, was sipping the drink he had just brought with his head down. His soft black hair hung down to block his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression. In Amuro Toru's view, the black-haired man just seemed to be worried about the safety of his family.
In fact, during this month, even Date Kou believed that Tsukiyama Asari was not as they worried because of Asuka Kiri's departure. However, Amuro Toru, who had seen the black-haired man in the ambulance, had always had doubts in his heart.
When Asuka Kiri was sent to the ambulance with her wrist cut and her life or death unknown, Tsukiyama Asari was already in a panic. But now that she is really leaving, she is calmer than those of them who are just friends. This is not right.
The man narrowed his eyes and looked at the man opposite him seriously. The black-haired man did not seem to notice the man's gaze. He just lowered his head and stirred the translucent water in the glass. It is unknown what he was thinking.
Where Tsukiyama Asari's eyes were, there was a system board that Amuro Toru could not see. The newly displayed comics on it were the situation of Matsuda Jinpei and the others in the car.
After seeing that all the codes left by Kasugawa Shugo were cracked by the two contemporaries, the tension in his heart relaxed a little.
It is impossible to have a very detailed and perfect system to drill out the codes by drilling loopholes in the rules of the world. All you can do is to take out all the words that appear more frequently and the parts that are different when comparing the words, and then continue to deepen and strengthen them to make them into the codes that have existed before. The result of this method is that the vocabulary is very scarce, and you can only use limited vocabulary to piece together the information you want to convey.
On the screen, the little Asuka Mizuki was full of worry. He frowned and read the comics like Tsukiyama Asari. When Kasugawa Shugo fell to the ground, he finally couldn't help but run over and touched the bloody face of the chestnut-haired man in the comics, as if he wanted to wipe it off for him.
Of course, the bloodstains in the comics could not be wiped off by the virtual man on the same interface. After trying for a long time, the Q version of Mizuki looked down at his clean palms, and then looked at Kasugawa Shugo's still bloodstained cheeks, and kept lowering his eyelids, looking very depressed.
Tsukiyama moved his fingers calmly and rubbed the hair of the little man with his fingertips. The depressed white-haired child gently responded to the comfort of the person outside the interface, then reached out and gave the chestnut-haired man in the comic a hug. When the screen slid to the scene in the car, he used his small hands to touch the wet corners of the eyes of the half-long-haired police officer in the comic and the messy and fluffy curly hair of Matsuda Jinping.
[Save! Save Honey Bear!! I'm so angry that the man dared to hit him ah ah ah (distorted) (punching and kicking) (dark twisting)]
[It's really Bear Dad!! Bear Dad still has his son in his heart! It's not a thunderstorm, it's extreme rescue ah ah (shaking sound) There is Mazda Hagi outside and Bear Dad inside! Honey Bear will definitely be fine!!
Yysy, even through the screen I can feel the awkwardness between these two people, it’s very similar to the awkward scene when my dad came to see me living with my grandparents... the awkward scene of having nothing to say (whispering)]
[Good guys, why is it either the script of Thunderstorm or this script, any time these two meet it’s always about family ethics drama, right (pasted upstairs)]
[Help... this video... Hagiwara’s psychological shadow is about to come out, first it was Kogiri and then Shugo, why is your family suffering so many disasters? Go to the temple to worship and ask Dad Bear where he got the amulet, you guys should go and get one too]
[Maybe the amulet was asked by Little Bear for Dad Bear? (Thinking) Shuugo was so cute when he was little. He was so pitiful and cute. #Kasugawa Shuugo in the memory wearing ill-fitting clothes##Kasugawa Shuugo buying bread# His body was covered with wounds but his clothes and face were clean. He was so cute looking up at others... If you don’t know how to raise a child, give it to me to raise! ]
[Code!! The code was solved. Ahhhh. I can actually see the six members of the police academy period here!! These are all plots that have never appeared in the police academy chapter. They were so happy when they were in the police academy...]
["I'm smart" Hahahaha What a cute baby, so cute I'll just perform a big move of falling to the ground with my heart in my hands, what a cute honey, let me give it a big kiss, it's so cute to praise yourself]
[Upstairs, don't forget that Shugo said before "He is a little disgusted with himself for being so useless..." The honey bear who is so timid in front of his friends actually hates himself in private because of some negative physical conditions... Haha...]
[Also "My younger brother is so well-behaved. He is ten years old this year and just reached my height. But he has been growing taller recently. Maybe he will be taller than me when he grows up"
I will never grow taller... The lost knife suddenly started to attack me]
[Shut up! Are you the only one who can talk? ! You are the only one who can talk, wuwuwuwu!! Save Shuugo! Help Asari! Don’t let the poor 26-year-old male mother lose her son first and then become a widow!!!]
[What widow?! Hurry up, puwuwu, Shuugo will definitely be fine...By the way, this time it’s a choice between two, it’s rare that 73 didn’t stick to the classic three-choice system]
[Yeah, it’s a choice between two in the factory... Weird]
The mute Q version of Xiao Mu paused in browsing the replies, he turned his head to look at Tsukiyama Asari, and patted the two replies vigorously, motioning for him to read.
Tsukiyama Asari moved closer and flipped back to the two replies he had just seen.
The wind chimes at the door of the cafe rang at this moment. The police officer with a buzz cut passed the "temporarily closed" sign on the door, walked in a few steps, and sat opposite Tsukiyama Asari.
"Brother Date." The black-haired man finally pulled his attention back from the system interface. He addressed everyone, including Amuro Toru, as "Mr.", a more polite name, except for Date Kou, who was addressed the same way as Kasugawa Shugo.
"I took half a day off and came here..." Date Kou choked and swallowed his purpose back into his throat. It was a bit embarrassing to say in front of everyone that he came to see if he was okay. The man touched his crew cut with his hand, and just took the ice water brought by Amuro Toru, who finally remembered his waiter's duties.
Tsukiyama Asari, who was sitting opposite, paused, and the moment he saw Date Kou, he finally figured out the doubts he had seven years ago.
Why is it that when getting along with the police academy team, Kasugawa Shugo always subconsciously gets close to this most mature and reliable squad leader who has a girlfriend?
Because Date Kou, in some ways... has a subtle similarity with Oikawa! Especially the two of them are tall, with the same crew cut and thick eyebrows, and the stubble that Date Kou started to grow after graduation. But compared to Date Kou, Ikawa has always been more taciturn and introverted.
After figuring this out, the black-haired man almost spit out the lemonade in his mouth. He tried hard to hold back the corners of his mouth that were about to twitch, and his expression became subtle for a moment.
After figuring this out...it's really a bit embarrassing! He thought it was just because Date Kou was more mature and stable than others, and he had the image of an older brother who was very caring, so people would subconsciously get closer to him, otherwise he wouldn't have become the class monitor.
As a result, the truth turned out to be that a certain chestnut curly-haired vest unconsciously found a fatherly love substitute because of the character's background? !
Tsukiyama Chaori lowered his head and covered his face, thinking carefully about what Kasugawa Shugo had done.
It wasn't anything... He just liked to hook his arm around Date Kou's neck from behind and hang on him by taking advantage of the height difference, acted coquettishly and shoved his meal card into his hand to ask him to bring him a bag of chocolate milk that was so sweet after every morning exercise, and rushed over from time to time to give him a big bear hug and then slipped away.
No... Putting aside the reason for these things, it just made Kasugawa Shugo look a little more sticky, but if Matsuda Jinpei and the others knew the reason, they would definitely...
...This secret would definitely...definitely rot in their stomachs!
The black-haired man used his hands to cover his face with a strange expression mixed with various subtle emotions. At this moment, Date Hang reached out his hand and patted the shoulder of Tsukiyama Asari, who had been lowering his head and covering his face with his hands, in front of him with some worry.
He seemed to be frightened and stepped back for a moment, his beautiful peach blossom eyes widened.
Date Hang suppressed the worry in his eyes, turned his head and looked at Amuro Toru who was standing on the side, and then asked evasively, "Have you had lunch?"
Tsukiyama Asari was stunned, and then he realized belatedly that his breakfast and lunch had been soaked in the soup. His stomach, which had not eaten for a long time, had already curled into a ball. He subconsciously touched his abdomen and shook his head.
"Mr. Date... I don't think he has eaten yet, right?" Amuro Toru followed his colleague's words and said with a smile, "There are still a lot of ingredients in the kitchen. How about making Poirot's signature sandwiches?"
"Natalie came here last time and praised the sandwiches here." Date Kou said, but there was not much smile in his voice. He asked for leave in a panic after receiving the news. He was obviously worried about the current completely unclear situation of Kasugawa Shugo, but he still tried to keep calm and comfort Tsukiyama Asari who was the first to notice something was wrong.
For the police, he is indeed a very good family member. Just like the last time he came to report the disappearance of Asuka Kiri, Tsukiyama Asari just held the cup of water in front of him and quietly waited for the final result.
Date Kou frowned and was about to say something when he heard the crisp sound of wind chimes coming from the doorway that no one should have entered.
The policeman sitting at the table and the waiter walking to the back kitchen looked towards the door at the same time and met a pair of squinting eyes that always had a smile on their faces.
Amuro Toru's face darkened instantly. He looked the man up and down, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces with his eyes. The tray in his hand was also squeezed and made a cracking sound.
"I used to think that graduate students at the University of Tokyo were just so idle that they had nothing to do every day. It turns out that they can't even read." The blond-haired, dark-skinned man curled his lips and even changed his tone. He lowered his voice and said in a sinister tone that only the two of them could hear, "Since you can't understand the Japanese written on the door, you might as well go back to your nest as soon as possible."
Okiya Subaru raised an eyebrow and waved his hands at him as if it was normal, with an indifferent look that made Amuro Toru grit his teeth.
He opened the heavy glass door and let the person outside who was not convenient to push the door to control his wheelchair and slowly enter the cafe with a sign saying "temporarily closed".
Amuro Toru turned his attention away from the damn FBI agent in front of him and noticed that there was another person at the door.
"Sorry to bother you." The black-haired man sitting in the wheelchair spoke. His voice seemed to be pulled out of his throat with all his strength. It was very hoarse and unpleasant. At the end of this short sentence, Suemitsu Sosuke pursed his lips to restrain the urge to cough out his lungs.
The exposed skin of the visitor was very pale, and there was even a faint bluish color between his fingers.
The blond-haired and dark-skinned man set his eyes on the back of the other's hand exposed between the wide clothes. There were many pinholes on it, squeezed in the center, and the pinholes were surrounded by bruises.
Suemitsu Sosuke did not look in good spirits. The dark circles that had finally disappeared before reappeared under his eyes at some point, and his pupils looked darker than ever.
The light inside was already very dim.
He was even thinner than before, and the black coat he had been wearing now looked even looser. The not-so-thick fabric naturally drooped due to gravity, outlining the man's shoulders and spine that were still straight despite being tortured by illness.
Suemitsu Sosuke nodded to the police undercover who he had met several times before. His sharper facial features made him look even more difficult to approach than before.
After greeting him, the man cast his dark red eyes into the room and finally explained his purpose, "I'm here to get my student's things."
Tsukiyama Asari made a slight "ah" sound, stood up, and took out the mobile phone that Edogawa Conan had left at the door of the bathroom when he disappeared, as if he had already contacted the man in the wheelchair.
"I came here with him." Okiya Subaru explained, as if he was more justified after the coffee shop owner confirmed his purpose.
"......?" Suemitsu Sosuke looked at the pink-haired graduate student next to him, and while pushing his wheelchair towards Date Kou and the others, he mercilessly said, "He followed here on his own."
"Ha, you are so self-conscious, graduate student." Amuro Toru's malicious smile reappeared on his face, and he gave Okiya Subaru a vicious 'I knew it' expression.
He knew that this guy Akai Shuichi would take advantage of the opportunity! He took advantage of Mr. Suemitsu's rush over and didn't have time to refuse and followed him on his own!
See, this is the damn FBI!
