Chapter 28 Winery Occasion V Three-in-One
Since receiving the emergency assembly notice in the early morning, he has maintained a high level of concentration through three bottles of whiskey.
After several hours of operation, they encountered an unexpected case. Their emotions experienced several ups and downs in a short period of time. The four people, each with their own thoughts, walked on the road, and no one spoke first.
The tacit understanding between them that rarely appears between them made them remain silent at this moment.
Shuichi Akai walked in front, took the initiative to leave the group, and kept a clear distance from the three people behind him.
The advantage of doing this is that he doesn't have to worry about others noticing the thoughtful look on his face.
The calm expression that 'Lei' usually had was replaced by a thoughtful look.
Is Nagano Prefecture's detective...Morofushi more capable?
The face of Zhu Fu Gaoming, whom he had seen not long ago, appeared in his mind.
Another face that was always expressionless, staring at people with a gloomy temperament that made people instinctively dislike him flashed before Shuichi Akai's eyes, and gradually overlapped with Morobushi Takaaki's facial features in his mind.
Come to think of it, Scotland seems to have that rare type of upturned eyes.
It seems necessary to go back and investigate, he thought.
For example, does Zhufu Gaoming have brothers or other male relatives?
“…”
Amuro Toru, who was only half a body length behind Lei, had a gloomy look in his eyes.
Behind him were Fushimi Kyoji and Scotland. As long as Lei didn't turn around suddenly, no one would notice his gaze, so he simply stared at the back of the person in front of him without any concealment.
Lei definitely noticed the similarities between Morobushi Takaaki and Hiro's facial features.
According to Toru Amuro's understanding of Rai's behavior style, which is almost identical to Gin's, once he has doubts about something, the next step is probably to verify it.
All the photos of his and Hiro's life experiences should be properly erased by the police. The only thing to worry about is...
Will Lei start from other aspects to investigate Hiro's identity?
hateful……
There is also the guy who often makes remarks that are frightening to the undercover agents, as if he has seen through their true identities, yet it seems that he does it unintentionally.
Not being able to figure out her specific purpose makes it difficult to decide how to treat her.
Toru Amuro tilted his eyes to one side and frowned patiently.
If Hiro's identity had been exposed, he could still use this relaxed and natural attitude to get along with the undercover in the organization...
Toru Amuro suddenly thought of the psychological distortion, antisocial personality, and pleasure criminals who had no empathy and took pleasure in watching people suffer when he was traveling between various forces as an intelligence dealer before being recruited by the organization in order to attract the attention of the Black Organization.
It was as chilling as a pair of scarlet eyes opened in the darkness, staring intently at every move of a lone prey.
It is precisely because it is impossible to predict when the other party will give up their harmless disguise that an unrelieved anxiety arises in my heart.
Unfortunately, both of them are people that Gin values very much, so there is no way to use special means to eliminate the hidden danger in advance.
Especially...his apparent relationship with the other people in the team was not good enough to allow him to grasp the exact whereabouts of Fushimi Kyoji and Lei.
Toru Amuro is not sure whether the public security personnel can successfully capture the two members of the organization under the above premise.
If there is a mistake in any link that leads to failure, then not only will Hiro's identity be exposed, but he himself may also be suspected.
The more urgent the situation, the more we must not let our emotions override our rationality. Amuro Toru kept reminding himself.
The good news is that there seems to be room for maneuver in the temporary teammate role.
If we build closer ties from now on, we might be able to join forces with the police and arrest them before Hiro's identity is exposed.
certainly.
In Amuro Toru's expectation, the person he wanted to build a good relationship with could never be Lei.
Just like Toru Amuro's impression of Gin - for a man like him, it is impossible for anyone to truly enter his heart.
Naturally, he didn't have a good impression of Lei, who was almost a copy of Gin.
Then, only Fushimi Kyoki is left.
Because of the bad impression he had when they first met, Toru Amuro has always been cautious.
Although it is not so obvious as to directly exclude the other party, it is inevitable to intentionally or unintentionally unilaterally cut off the opportunity for mutual in-depth understanding.
Fortunately, given the fickle personalities of intelligence personnel in the organization, choosing to retreat or get closer in a relationship is normal behavior.
So.
Next, he had to choose 'approach'.
Zhu Fujingguang had no idea about his friend's secret determination. He just glanced at the back of Amuro Toru in front of him, and then looked away before anyone around him noticed.
zero……
I guess he's worried about his situation now.
When he saw that the meeting place was Nagano, Morobushi Kagemitsu thought that he might meet Morobushi Takami directly.
Should I say I'm lucky?
In that terrible situation, Gin, who was always suspicious and had terrifyingly sharp intuition, was not present.
Otherwise, regardless of whether there are doubts about his identity, he will inevitably be suspected and monitored by Gin.
Under the shadow formed by the hair, his gray-blue eyes moved slightly, and his gaze fell on the player walking side by side with him.
From the expression on his face, one cannot tell what he is thinking, and he seems completely unaware of the changes happening around him.
What does she think?
Players...
The player recalled the food he had tasted not long ago and gave it a high evaluation in his heart: delicious!
The degree to which you are willing to recommend it to others.
Hmm... I think this place would be a good place to spend some time alone with the capture characters.
Vermouth: Sweetheart, I'm glad you thought of me at this time, but in order to prevent the actress from being replaced due to a body issue, I can only say "sorry" to you.
The female star who recommended the location of this store to Vermouth, who wanted to manage her body, responded enthusiastically to the player, but then rejected her.
Even in the words of rejection, one can feel the bright charm of the international superstar between the lines.
However, compared to Vermouth's concerns about gaining weight, Fushimi Kyoki believes that the main reason for the failure of the recommendation is most likely that the game does not support all sexual orientations.
Woohoo…
The player pretended to cry in his heart without any expression.
I found a delicious yakitori restaurant with Rye Bourbon Scotland. Recommended! Link: [Current Address Location]
He selected [Vodka] from the contacts list and pressed send. Fushimi Kyoji stared at the screen, the message still showing as unread.
Hmm? Are you busy?
Normally, I would reply quickly.
The player thought about it, copied the text again, and entered it into the dialog box with Gin. The latest one was still a task report that the other party had read but not replied to.
【send】
Under normal circumstances, Gin and Vodka would be inseparable as if they were always refreshed together.
Gin see is generally equivalent to vodka see.
[Gin: Well done.]
See...huh!?
What what?
Fushimi Kyoji, who was completely unable to understand, saw the text sent from the other side.
Gin: Keeping track of their whereabouts is the most basic thing. I expect more from you than that. Cheer up and don't let the rats slip away before your eyes.
Gin: Break down their defenses bit by bit, make them trust you completely, and then find the mouse hiding among them.
[Gin: Kill it]
I looked up Fushimi Kyoji and saw that it was indeed the recommended yakitori restaurant.
You're saying some meaningless things again.
"Ah, it seems now is not the time to relax."
After receiving the task assigned to him on his mobile phone, Amuro Toru lowered his head and quickly glanced at the content on the screen, then glanced at the two people behind him.
The movement was so fast that others could not see the text clearly, but one could roughly guess that it was a task sent by the organization.
Perhaps it was influenced by what the previous players pointed out, that every time two people team up, it is basically the Rye player and the Bourbon Scots who act together.
Toru Amuro, who has always had a different aura from Lei, took the initiative to hitch a ride with him this time.
Before Akai Shuichi could speak, Amuro Toru rolled down the car window and waved to Fushimi Kyoki and Scotland, who were walking together naturally outside, in a relaxed tone as if they were going on a trip: "Then we'll go first."
Successfully separated Lei and Hiro, the plan worked!
Lei, who didn't care much about insignificant details, glanced at him noncommittally and didn't express any objection to Amuro Toru's behavior.
"We will catch up soon and surpass you easily!" said the player nonchalantly.
Suddenly, a very meaningless competitive spirit emerged, which sounded very much like the competition between children.
Shuichi Akai supported his hand on the steering wheel, his calm green eyes glancing towards the right passenger seat, or to be more precise, at the golden head.
Maybe he's the only one who knows...
The person who said it so confidently probably still doesn't have a driver's license...
"Right, Scotland?" said the player, who was clinging to the edge of the car window with both hands, and turned to confirm with the gloomy young man standing behind him.
Due to the angle, Amuro Toru couldn't see the expression on the other person's face. He only heard Scotland pause and respond to her: "...Yeah."
Lei started the car, and his and Amuro Toru's figures disappeared from sight.
From Toru Amuro's attitude, it can be seen that this should not be a particularly urgent task. At least none of them received Gin's series of life-threatening calls.
Therefore, the two people who fell behind were not in a hurry to catch up.
Especially Scotland.
He also needed an environment where he could completely conceal his worries about the possible exposure of his true identity as 'Zhufu Jingguang'.
This is not an easy task - especially when there is another member of the organization around him who makes him unable to let go of his disguise.
"Ah!" Scotland heard a short scream and his fixed gaze paused slightly.
The thin sound is far from being harsh and does not make people feel sharp. It is like an unconscious exclamation when one remembers something belatedly.
Noticing the reactions of the people around him, Zhu Fujingguang calmed down and asked in a cold tone, "What's wrong?"
Not expecting a response, Fushimi Kyoki let out an even louder "Eh——!?" than before.
Fushimi Kyoki stared at Scotland and blinked.
As if it was just a casual question from him, Scotland did not look at her or stop to wait.
She stopped and tried to confirm from the expression on Scotland's face whether she was hallucinating. After a few seconds of pause, she could only see the back of the young man with phoenix eyes walking away for a distance without looking around.
Ugh!
Perhaps growing a stubble cannot offset the softness of his facial features, and sometimes one might have the illusion that a Scotsman is easy to talk to, but when faced with those gloomy eyes that ooze a bit of neurosis, one feels more of an instinct to stay away.
Sure enough, she still can't deal with this type...
but,
Does this mean that their relationship is not going nowhere?
"Well, it's nothing actually. I just thought about the case just now..." Fushimi Kyoji quickly caught up with Scotland in front of him, clasping his fingers together and recalling.
A murder caused by an office romance.
At that time, he was surrounded by members of the organization, and Brother Gao Ming happened to be handling the case in the store. His identity was in a situation where he could be exposed at any time. He was highly concentrated, which led to Zhu Fujingguang remembering the details of the case very clearly.
"I suddenly remembered that I had this in my pocket..." He reached into his windbreaker pocket and rummaged through it.
Fushimi Kyoki showed him what he was holding in his hand.
This is……
A bottle of nail polish?
Not sure about Scotland, just guessing based on appearance.
"It's a gift from Vermouth." After seeing it clearly in Scotland, Fushimi Kyoji stopped showing it to him. "Hmm... I heard it's mixed with potassium cyanide."
ah.
If the police had found potassium cyanide on him, it would have indeed complicated the situation.
If that happened, the faces of the four of them would probably have to appear in the vicious news in Nagano that day.
Scotland's gaze briefly passed over the fingertips painted pure black, and paused.
Did you learn from Vermouth to apply poison on your nails?
This method is consistent with his impression of the rumored Vermouth.
Her voice sounded distressed, and the two hands that were originally supporting her body were raised little by little, almost completely covering her entire face, leaving only her bright green eyes that blinked frequently, her gaze dodging suspiciously.
"Because I've served food to everyone, I'm a little worried that they might get poisoned."
The game shouldn't have such bizarre plots, such as accidentally poisoning a captureable character and then being unable to recover...
The player, realizing this, hesitated and said, "But I ate the food I took earlier, so it should be... okay?"
There is no HP value setting in the game, otherwise if there is poison, the first person to be infected will definitely be the player.
"..." Scotland silently stretched out his hand to Fushimi Kyoji, motioning her to put her hand up.
Fushimi Kyoji blinked and tentatively did as he was told.
Scotland clenched his fingertips in his palm without exerting any force, and lowered his eyes to observe.
A pair of well-proportioned and slender hands that would not be associated with "strength" or "threat" at all. No one could imagine the scene of these hands holding a cold gun and decisively pulling the trigger.
The original color of the fingertips was covered by pure black, like ink spots left on paper, which were particularly eye-catching against the background of skin color, and his eyes would always move to them unconsciously against his will.
Scotland was unfamiliar with this and didn't know how long it usually lasted, but some of the black nail polish on the edges of the girl's nails was rubbed off.
He rubbed it with his fingertips to check the discoloration.
"People usually kill people by piercing their nails. Usually, the poison will only dissolve when it comes into contact with water, making it easier to put the poison in the target cup." After a rough observation, Scotland let go of his hand, no longer accommodating the other party's half-bent waist, and stood up again.
Although the idea of being able to easily obtain poison would be absurd in real life, it didn't stop players from being overjoyed and expressing their appreciation for their teammates who were willing to communicate: "Scotland! You know a lot!"
Scotland has mixed feelings.
…He had only just explained the basics of killing, yet he was immediately stared at by a pair of bright green eyes that almost circled around him.
If it had a tail behind it, you might see an afterimage swinging like a propeller.
The other person never seems to feel embarrassed and has pure emotions towards everything. Should we say that he is frank and doesn't hide his own preferences... or is it scary?
Scotland could clearly sense from her warm and sincere tone that she really meant it.
Being sincerely praised for something like this...
Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled bitterly in his heart.
I can't be happy at all.
"Ah... another mission!" He opened the car door and threw himself into the back seat, complaining in a tone that seemed exaggerated. Unfortunately, because he fell facefirst onto the car, the sound he made became unclear. "I clearly participated in a group operation just a few hours ago..."
The tasks released in the game are basically not difficult and can usually be completed with just a few clicks.
Players don't hate the various mini-games in the missions.
But the preliminary preparations, such as taking a car to the mission location, cannot be skipped, and the boredom of several hours is real.
Scotland glanced at her in the rearview mirror. "You can ask Gin to quit."
The lower-level personnel of the organization are also responsible for many trivial matters, but most of them are to assist the code members in their actions in a fixed area.
Forming a team with three cadre members, their mission is basically to fly back and forth at home and abroad according to the city where the mission target is located.
It's normal to feel uncomfortable.
quit?
How to increase the player's [reputation]!
"It's not to the point of being tired, but... uh! I can't really explain it, I just feel so tired!" Not wanting to be understood as wanting to give up, the player tried to show that he could bear it, but the next second he slammed his head on the soft seat in frustration.
Scotland was silent for a moment, then said, "Perhaps not thinking about anything would make me feel more relaxed."
Fushimi Kyoji tried to look up, but unfortunately from her angle she could only see Scotland's left hand tightly gripping the steering wheel.
"Hmm...that's true."
The player agreed vaguely, saying nonchalantly, "Since you've joined the organization, there's no chance of regretting it."
Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyes paused, and his heart suddenly beat irregularly.
He tried his best to control his urge to observe the other person's expression and did not speak actively. The expression on his face was even gloomier than usual.
Fushimi Kyoji extended his hand with his palm facing outward, revealing the mottled black nails. He stood up and rummaged through his pockets, adding to his previous unfinished words: "...After all, if I betray you, I will definitely be hunted down by the dark Gin-senpai to the ends of the earth."
It turns out it’s just…
Zhu Fu Jingguang was slightly stunned and couldn't explain what he felt.
While waiting for the traffic light, the player lowered her head and painted her fingers carefully. She originally wanted to finish the painting while lying down, but she was worried that the nail polish containing potassium cyanide would drip into her mouth, so she sat up straight.
While waiting for it to dry, Fushimi Kyoki noticed Scotland's gaze and raised the nail polish in his hand to him: "Want to try it?"
From the previous conversation, it seemed that the other party was not that difficult to get along with. While asking questions, the player who was becoming more and more demanding had already lost his sense of security and leaned his upper body out of the gap to reach Scotland's left hand on the gear lever.
Eh?
The player reacted slowly until he touched a body temperature different from his own and held another person's hand in his.
No choice but to avoid...?
Holding Scotland's hand, Fushimi Kyoji raised his eyes tentatively and asked, "If you don't refuse, I'll take it as your consent?"
“I painted it~”
Just before touching Scotland's left hand, the player suddenly moved his hand away: "No way."
She lowered her head and said to herself, "Black doesn't suit you."
“!”
Zhu Fujingguang didn't show any expression on his face, but his heart trembled.
Was it a test... or just another careless remark from her?
Is it because he has been tense for a long time... Zhu Fujingguang felt that he could no longer distinguish the hidden meaning of other people's words.
Doubt, denial, doubt...
It was as if he had fallen into some kind of cycle, constantly changing and shaking his impression.
As if completely unaware of his turbulent mood, the girl hesitantly hummed, "Besides... a man wearing nail polish would be too conspicuous."
If he is testing his identity, he should immediately show his aggressive side, dispel his suspicion and fight back.
Zhu Fujingguang raised the corner of his mouth, letting a mocking sneer appear on his face, "...Is that so? I think black doesn't suit you either."
“…”
Fushimi Kyoki: Dumb
What……
Vermouth clearly said it looked good!
Scotland, this man with no aesthetic taste!
"..." Scotland was slightly stunned when he saw Fushimi Kyoki suddenly turning around and facing him with his back.
Faintly, one could hear the rapid clicking of fingers on the phone buttons, and one could sense her excitement directly from the force she used.
Buzz—buzz—
There was a subtle vibration in his pocket. It was the cell phone he used to contact the organization.
Scotland unlocked his password-protected phone and clicked on the new message.
[Fushimi Kyoki: [Fushimi Kyoki]'s favorability towards you is -5!]
"..." Zhu Fujingguang had no idea how to react at this moment.
Really...
As expected, childish.
Zhu Fujingguang glanced at the rearview mirror and silently repeated what he had said before in his heart. He no longer had the sharpness that he deliberately showed in the face of suspicion. Instead, his extremely light heartbeat and a sigh that he himself did not even notice were mixed together.
"(Black...actually, it doesn't suit you.)"
…………
…
"Well, don't be nervous, just treat it as a normal dinner party."
Kenji Hagiwara came behind him and pulled out a chair, his tone gentle.
It's just the right amount of thoughtfulness, and after doing all this, you can naturally return to your position. It's subtle but not so subtle as to make people feel stressed.
Fushimi Kyoki sat down tentatively and carefully, his eyes always on Matsuda Jinpei's expression.
The black-haired young man took off his sunglasses and said, "Hey, what's that expression on your face?"
As if he were some kind of monster.
"Eh... I'm sorry." The player described her feelings earnestly, looking embarrassed. "Because Officer Matsuda's expression right now looks like he's going to slam the table and tell me to confess immediately."
Matsuda Jinpei, who was hit on the heart of his thoughts, simply let out a "ha".
He really thought so.
"Hahahaha, there's nothing I can do about it. Jinpei-chan's expression is so easy to understand." Hagiwara Kenji laughed and teased his friend, "All his worries are written on his face. Sometimes it's hard to pretend not to see it."
"……Hello."
Jinpei Matsuda frowned and unhappily warned Kenji Hagiwara, who was suspected of exposing his secrets.
The speechless, half-open eyes glanced at the player. There was no trace of joking in those deep pupils that seemed particularly pure when looking at people intently. The first thing that was felt was the other person's expression, which could be called cold rationality, as if the previous quarrel was just a one-sided illusion.
"Since you've guessed our intentions, just be smart."
What does it mean to be sensible...?
This message was clearly conveyed in Fushimi Kyoki's eyes.
Matsuda Jinpei remained unmoved, his expression stern, making his handsome yet intimidating face look even scarier.
Matsuda Jinpei, who had achieved good results, saw... he saw... the blond idiot in front of him opened his wallet, took out a wad of cash from it, and handed it to him with both hands with a very respectful posture, lowering his head.
"-Who's asking you for protection money?" Matsuda Jinpei shouted in confusion.
"Sorry? I just did it subconsciously..."
Hagiwara Kenji laughed dryly and waved his hands, unable to suppress the curve of his lips: "Xiao Zhenping, you are too direct. It will be difficult for Fushimi to understand what you mean."
"Huh? If you ask me, Hagi, you're being overly cautious. Asking such a slow-witted person in a roundabout way is a waste of time. It's better to just get straight to the point and ask clearly."
"Well, don't get excited. No matter what, be a little gentle with girls."
"That's what you're good at, hagi?"
“…”
I totally... totally don't understand what you're saying.
Fushimi Kyoji stared blankly at the two men, talking back and forth, turning away whenever she heard a movement, until Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji looked at her simultaneously, "Go ahead."
What are you talking about? Uh...
Fushimi Kyoki said uncertainly, "Thank God for giving us food...?"
Suddenly, the thanksgiving prayer started... Hagiwara Kenji thought to himself.
A clear number sign appeared on Jinpei Matsuda's forehead, and the back of his hand resting on the table also had obvious blue veins bulging, which seemed to be a dangerous signal.
"Whether you were just joking, feeling a sense of accomplishment in teasing us, or whether you genuinely didn't realize it..."
The black-haired curly-haired officer lowered his voice, no longer able to sense the relaxed atmosphere that had been stirred up by a few words. As if giving a warning, he said in a deep voice, "There should be a limit to my slowness."
There was no unnecessary expression on Matsuda Jinpei's face, as if it was the calm before a storm, with a sense of suffocation. His eyes, which were usually rather unfocused, revealed a real sharpness as he looked straight at her.
It suddenly became so imposing!
So cool!
If the work of the explosive ordnance disposal team had not been related to the Black Organization, the player would have almost thought that he was an arrested member of the organization, sitting in the interrogation room and being interrogated by Jinpei Matsuda.
If we rule out this possibility...
I can't think of any reason why Jinpei Matsuda would do this.
"Well, actually, Jinpei-chan and I wanted to know about Fushimi-chan's work...ah, or rather, the company he works for."
Kenji Hagiwara joined in their conversation naturally. His steady speech eased the slightly stagnant atmosphere. He narrowed his eyes with full affinity and showed a warm smile.
"Because I learned that Fushimi-chan's job benefits are very good and the travel allowance is also very high, um... I'm a little worried that I might have encountered an unreliable scammer."
Hagiwara Kenji gave a serious example: "For example, it may appear to be normal work, but the company may secretly conduct illegal transactions and then put the blame on the employee."
Eh...
How should I tell Officer Hagiwara that the direction he speculated should, probably, or perhaps would not happen to the player?
After all, the organization is considered a legitimate large-scale transnational criminal enterprise?
"Well, actually, I think my current workplace is pretty reliable. The situation Officer Hagiwara mentioned won't happen."
Uh
Wouldn't it be very blunt to say this? Others reminded her with good intentions...
Fushimi Kyoki scratched his face with his index finger and said dryly, "But thank you very much for your concern, Officer Hagiwara, and..."
Matsuda Jinpei raised his eyes and instantly met the source of his gaze. His relaxed tone lacked any intimidation. "Why are you looking at me?"
Hagiwara Kenji, who always acted as the catalyst to calm Jinpei Matsuda's rage, let out a long, "Huh?" and asked, looking uneasy, "Hmm, has Fushimi-chan discovered anything illegal at the company or with any of his colleagues?"
Kenji Hagiwara didn't want to be too explicit.
Although the possibility is slim, if Fushimi is unaware, even if this means that they cannot get much information from the other party about the specific situation of the nameless organization that they are currently eager to know, they can still feel a little comforted.
"For example, tax evasion, or... other aspects." He vaguely outlined a huge range.
"Probably not..." Fushimi Kyoki answered uncertainly.
Although I am not in charge of finance, I vaguely know that the organization's gray income should never have been taxed.
What taxes do criminals pay!
↑The above is only applicable within the action group.
Members of the organization who are apparently in high positions and may even appear on the headlines reporting on successful people will still pay their taxes honestly.
Fushimi Kyoki finished speaking and then hesitantly confirmed, "Does the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team also handle tax matters?"
Um……
You've completely missed the point, Hagiwara Kenji thought helplessly.
Matsuda Jinpei deliberately put on a ferocious, evil look, cracking his knuckles suggestively, his threat evident in his words: "We ask, you answer, don't change the subject."
Wow, Xiao Zhenping is quite realistic.
He really looks like a □□ person.
Hopefully no colleagues will be passing by nearby.
Hagiwara Kenji prayed inwardly.
Otherwise, Xiao Zhenping would definitely be disgraced in the Metropolitan Police Department.
The player, who was also encountering a similar situation for the first time, was somewhat incoherent, blinking a bit too frequently: "Eh... Eh!? Is that what I understood?"
"Hmm." Matsuda Jinpei remained noncommittal.
The corners of Kenji Hagiwara's lips, which had originally shown a faint smile, slightly tightened, and his eyes reflected the slender figure that pressed close to the window after Jinpei Matsuda moved his finger bones.
Oh, is this too much...
Fushimi Kyoji suddenly opened the window and shouted to the empty street: "——There is police brutality here!"
“…”
puff,
Matsuda Jinpei laughed in anger: "You bastard..."
Hagiwara Kenji narrowed his eyes, coughed lightly as if to suppress a laugh, and said seriously, "Zhenping, you should be nicer to the citizens."
"Hey, hey - why are you standing on her side, Hagi?" The deliberately ferocious look on the curly-haired young man's face quickly faded away, and he returned to his usual appearance.
Hagiwara Kenji tried to look serious and said, "I'm sorry, Jinpei-chan. Even though we have a very good relationship, I will never show favoritism in matters like this."
"Yeah!" The players nodded frequently. "Support Officer Hagiwara and defeat the evil Officer Matsuda!"
Matsuda Jinpei glanced at her, his face sullen, and said unhappily, "Ah...you guys, sometimes you really make me irritated."
"Hmm?" The player tilted his head in confusion. "Sorry? But this is me."
"... Never mind. Whatever you say."
Fushimi Kyoji was about to continue asking questions, but Amuro Toru's news interrupted her thoughts.
Ah, speaking of which.
The other party said that if they were close by, they could give the player a ride.
Wow... Is this the treatment after the favorability reaches the standard?
Compared to before, I have become more considerate!
The player ended the meeting with Hagiwara and Matsuda with the excuse that he had work to attend to. He waved to them and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, Officer Hagiwara, Officer Matsuda."
"Tsk, didn't I say that honorifics aren't necessary?" Jinpei Matsuda clicked his tongue when the player completely disappeared from his sight.
"Because Fushimi-chan is very polite..." Hagiwara Kenji said, and then shifted his gaze to the side, "Doesn't Jinpei-chan also think that she's not a bad kid?"
Matsuda Jinpei said vaguely, "That's probably it..."
"Haha, what's that like?"
Jinpei Matsuda shouted in embarrassment, drowning out Hagiwara Kenji's laughter: "That's what I mean, anything is fine!"
"Wow, that's quite a loud emphasis. I feel like I need to go to the hospital to get my eardrum checked."
"Hello."
…………
…
"Ah, Bourbon, could you please pass me the phone?"
The player realized that he had forgotten his phone on the back seat, hesitated, and asked Bourbon who was also preparing to get off the car.
Amuro Toru's eyes moved slightly, and sure enough, he saw a screen emitting faint light in the rearview mirror.
"...Of course, I'd be happy to do so."
The phone was not locked and was just placed there. Anyone who picked it up could check all the information in her phone at will.
This was the first thought that came to Rei Furuya's mind.
However, he didn't plan to do anything.
Toru Amuro leaned sideways, reached into the back seat, and easily grabbed the phone on the seat.
Buzz—buzz—
There was a sudden vibration in my hand.
Just at this moment, a text message came in. Amuro Toru lowered his eyes and read the content clearly:
[Kenji Hagiwara: Because Fushimi-chan seemed in a hurry, he didn't have time to ask if the Italian food was to his liking. Jinpei-chan said he knew a great Japanese restaurant and that if we had time, we could go check it out together next time ^ ^]
“…”
Toru Amuro, no, Rei Furutani had to exert great effort to control himself and hand the phone back to the other person naturally without showing the slightest bit of stiffness.
Ken 2...
besides,
——Matsuda! ?
Even though they are currently in different places, Fūya Rei's mood at this moment still overlaps with that of the same period.
The expression on his face is distorted at an angle that the player cannot see.
Matsuda and Hagiwara...
Do you know what kind of dangerous person you are interacting with? ! !
