Chapter 81 I'm really looking forward to it, Officer Furuya! ...
Nekono Ikuya and Furuya Rei worked together seamlessly. The moment the sports car landed, and the motorcycle was forced to sway and lose its balance, Nekono Ikuya pushed open the passenger door.
He moved with lightning speed, darting out.
Before the prisoner could recover from his shock, Nekono Ikuya's figure was already upon him, accompanied by the whooshing sound of the wind. His black hair drew a clean arc in the air, and his emerald eyes narrowed, locking onto the panicked figure on the motorcycle, naturally radiating a cold glint.
His movements were swift, precise, and ruthless. He first accurately seized the opponent's wrist as he tried to resist, then twisted it in the opposite direction while cleverly tripping him with his foot, pinning the opponent to the ground with one hand twisted behind his back. Nekono Ikumi used his knee to brace against the opponent's lower back, while his other hand still had the leisure to carefully search for any weapons the perpetrator might have hidden on his person.
Yes, they used up all their deadly weapons in the previous chase with the righteous police academy students.
Nekono Ikuya only found fishing line, sedatives, and other tools used in the crime—evidence!
Even after all these actions were completed, the prisoner, who was pinned to the ground by Nekono Ikuya, only had time to let out a muffled groan and a cry of pain.
Prisoner: "Ugh!"
A clean and beautiful grappling move!
The prisoner felt dizzy and died instantly.
The criminal was utterly powerless against both his driving and physical skills, and was crushed by his opponents, leaving him deeply traumatized!
Rei Furuya got out of the car and leaned against the sports car door, quietly watching the scene of the feline hunting.
"Done!"
Nekono Ikuya raised her face and smiled at Furuya Rei. When she looked down, her eyes were still sharp, but when she looked up, her gaze had become exceptionally gentle.
With only the two of them and the subdued prisoner on the ground around them, Nekono Ikuya's change in expression was very obvious to Furuya Rei.
Hunter Sangbiao instantly transformed into a domesticated cat, and Furuya Rei involuntarily pressed his fist to his lips and revealed a smile.
Nekono Ikuya: "?"
Prisoner: "."
"Ahem, I'll do it."
Without explaining, Furuya coughed twice to cover up his actions, then slowly walked towards the prisoner, reaching behind his waist with his right hand to reveal a pair of handcuffs.
Nekono Ikuya stepped aside, and Furuya Rei deftly bent down, handcuffing the prisoner with a click.
"Done!" he said with a smile, glancing with satisfaction at the handcuffed prisoner.
Confirming the prisoner couldn't break free, Nekono Ikuya looked at the gleaming silver handcuffs, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Hmm? Zero, I remember police academy students weren't issued handcuffs yet, right? Where did these handcuffs come from?"
His turquoise cat-like eyes were filled with pure curiosity as his gaze shifted back and forth between the slightly worn but well-maintained standard handcuffs and his lover.
He deliberately avoided speaking to the prisoners who were already lying down and giving up, so that they could not hear him.
Rei Furuya paused slightly as he was about to contact the police. He turned his head and met Ikuya Nekono's probing gaze. His eyes flickered for a moment, and a fleeting, unnatural look crossed his face before he regained his composure.
He lowered his voice and mumbled, "Yeah, I borrowed the training equipment a little."
Then he tilted his head, puzzled, and said, "Because I always felt I might need it?"
I have a feeling I might need it?
Nekono Ikuya's first thought was quite serious: "Hmm, that makes sense. Since you and Kagemitsu entered the police academy, you've encountered so many cases, more in just a few months than you've encountered in the previous twenty-odd years."
Nekono Ikuya frowned; he seemed to sense the taste of fate. And He seemed less cheerful and lively than before, with a slightly eerie air about Him.
—This refers to the fact that when there are other people around, he is still cheerful when facing people he has cared about since childhood, such as Yuya, Shin-chan, and Ai, and he is also peaceful and relaxed when Kaito is present.
But for some reason, the way he faced Zero and Kagemitsu since childhood was subtly different from how he faced Ikuya and others. In fact, his relationship with Kaito was not very similar to the previous two types.
Can fate also have a split personality? Could it be that it changed along with people? No way!
Nekono Ikuya sensed something was wrong: "Zero, hasn't the crime rate increased in recent years? Cyanide and bombs seem to be becoming more common?"
Rei Furuya's expression was grave: "Yes, there must be a problem with the domestic anti-contraband control system, and there may be an organized smuggling network operating behind it."
This involves public safety.
Rei Furuya glanced at the handcuffed prisoner on the ground. In fact, the social atmosphere has gradually deteriorated in recent years. This prisoner couldn't even find a way to buy cyanide and other contraband, and his mental fortitude was also very weak. He actually dared to have the intention to kill and planned to commit murder.
Solving this problem cannot simply involve addressing each individual case; the root cause, the darkness that breeds it, must be eradicated. It requires higher-level authority and more in-depth action. The police?
Rei Furuya lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
"Sigh, there are more and more bombings every year now. Matsuda's going to be busy from now on," Furuya Rei quickly came to his senses and sighed.
Nekono Ikuya understood: "Oh? Is his future destination the Virginity Explosion Group? It's already decided? The Virginity Explosion Group's work is very dangerous."
Rei Furuya's brow furrowed with worry: "Yes, and Hagiwara will most likely follow Matsuda to the Virginity Breaking Group as well."
Unlike him, Matsuda and Hagiwara did not conceal the fact that the Explosive Virginity Group was contacting them. Matsuda had already agreed, but Hagiwara was still hesitant.
He was hesitant and not firm in his decision. Although he had not yet accepted the invitation from the virginity team, he also had no particular intention to contact other departments.
I suspect that Rei Furuya and Kenji Hagiwara will ultimately choose to join the "virginity-breaking" group, and Jinpei Matsuda will definitely be a key factor in his decision. That's the bond between childhood friends, isn't it?
He didn't discuss whether the Explosives Unit was dangerous or not; those who aspire to be excellent police officers, at least the five of them, were mentally prepared for the dangers they would face.
"Is that so?" Nekono Ikuya said thoughtfully.
Because of his fondness for people like him and the fact that Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu have excellent taste in making friends, he also has a good impression of Hagiwara Kenji and others.
He began to think about what technologies he had that they could use in bomb disposal.
Japan is conservative, and the speed of official technology application is extremely slow. The Internet has been around for quite some time, but various departments are still using fax machines to transmit messages.
The funniest thing is that the minister in charge of cybersecurity even openly admitted that he doesn't know how to use a computer or USB drive!
Let's not expect them to upgrade their bomb disposal technology on their own initiative. Let's just ask the kind-hearted Nekono Fumiya to help them. Establishing a friendly relationship with the police would also benefit the Nekono Group itself.
Equipment airdrops are generating; the happy moment for the looters is just around the corner.
This was just a preliminary idea, and there was no need to rush to finish thinking about it. Nekono Ikumi put it aside for the time being and would refine it later.
“That leap just now,” Nekono Ikuya suddenly said with a laugh, her tone filled with undisguised admiration and praise, and a hint of teasing, “I mean, including the drift before that.”
"...Zero, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" he said with a mocking look.
Furuya Rei had already contacted the police and was informing Morofushi Hiromitsu and the others of their situation via text message. Hearing this, without even looking up, a barely perceptible smile played at the corner of his lips, his tone sounding completely serious: "It's just what's needed for the pursuit, the optimal solution."
His hands didn't stop; he was still typing away furiously. The person he was communicating with had changed. Matsuda Jinpei had "snatched" Morofushi Kagemitsu's phone and was rapidly condemning Furuya Rei and Nekono Ikuya for abandoning them to pursue the murderer alone. Furuya Rei was fiercely "arguing" with him.
"The optimal solution?" Nekono Ikumi raised an eyebrow, drawing out her words, clearly disbelieving. "I have a feeling that someone just got praised for being 'beautiful' and couldn't resist showing off, wanting to appear even more handsome?"
He leaned forward slightly, trying to catch Furuya Rei's expression.
Rei Furuya finally looked up and saw a smile playing in his clear, blue eyes as he stared at him intently, like a lover who had discovered something fun.
He put away his phone, straightened up, and looked down at the slightly leaning Nekono Yuuya with his soft, purplish-gray eyes, smiling as well: "Wasn't the effect good?"
He didn't explicitly state what the effect was—chasing the criminal? Or making him look more handsome? But he deliberately smiled subtly yet attractively, as if he had a built-in filter.
The prisoner, who couldn't hear the exact words but had eyes, said: "..."
"It works wonderfully!" Nekono Ikumi pretended to think for two seconds before nodding immediately.
His smile deepened as he looked meaningfully at Rei Furuya: "It was just a bit too exciting; my heart hasn't calmed down yet."
"Very cool~" This statement has a double meaning, it's unclear whether it refers to the driving skills or the driver.
The completely ignored prisoner:
He closed his eyes in despair and turned his head sharply to the side.
Not only were they arrested, but they also had to watch two of their pursuers flirt?! Is nobody going to do anything about this?!
Of course they were flirting! Although he couldn't hear their conversation, he had eyes! And as a trendy young man, he wouldn't mistake all male-male relationships for simple brotherhood.
He had certainly considered struggling to stand up and protest directly to them, but for some reason, he had inexplicably given up after the person with the blue eyes had only glanced at him briefly.
It's... a little scary.
“By the way, Zero.” Nekono Ikuya straightened up casually, as if he were just mentioning that the weather was nice today, but his emerald cat eyes shone with a contradictory light that was both pure and ambiguous.
He smiled and looked at Furuya Rei, then glanced meaningfully at the man's hand that had just produced handcuffs.
“I think the way you looked in the handcuffs just now,” Nekono Ikuya deliberately slowed her speech, lowering her voice and whispering, like a feather gently brushing against the heart, “...was also very cool.”
He slowly blinked at Rei Furuya.
"..." Furuya Rei paused almost imperceptibly.
Those purplish-gray eyes suddenly turned to Nekono Ikuya, easily catching the undisguised mischief and deeper, warm hints in her lover's emerald-like cat eyes.
The air seemed to thicken in that instant, and the sound of the wind faded away.
Rei Furuya's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He didn't respond immediately, but instead stared at Ikuya Nekono with his increasingly deep purplish-gray eyes, his gaze sliding from Nekono's smiling eyes to the pale neck that had flushed slightly with excitement during the car chase.
After a few seconds, he leaned forward to close the distance between them, and whispered dangerously in a slightly hoarse voice, "Is that so? Then... I'll let you 'appreciate' it properly when we get back?"
Nekono Ikuya didn't back down, but met his gaze with a smile: "...I'm looking forward to it, Officer Furuya!"
...
Prisoner: "."
"I'll confess! I'll confess everything!"
