Chapter 86
"Who's calling?"
"…It's an unfamiliar number that's not marked."
Zhu Fu Jingguang tried to reply in a calm tone.
There was indeed no note. He could recognize the number at a glance only because he had spoken to the owner of the number once a week ago.
This time he really couldn't help but ask - Matsuda, what are you doing?
I also want to ask Furuya Rei - why do you two keep getting close to the "dangerous identity" and "eccentric" Shengjiu? ? Did you say you would stay away from him? ?
Morofushi Kagemitsu vaguely felt that he was backstabbed by two of his trusted peers.
He felt mixed emotions and handed the phone over.
Shengjiu was squatting against the door panel. Perhaps he heard his footsteps, so he looked up at him, and his pupils widened again.
Although it was inappropriate, Morofushi Jingguang suddenly remembered the cat he had raised in the police academy dormitory - when it was time to turn off the lights, the only light source was the warm yellow bedside lamp, and the little white cat named Hanako would sneak into his bed with a pair of round eyes.
Its plan did not succeed because someone would rush to pick it up before it could get in, hold the cat's head and apologize to him.
His answer at the time seemed to be [“It’s okay. It seems to like this quilt very much. Do you want to try it?”]
[“Eh, is that okay? But Officer Hanako is in the shedding period, right?”]
【“Yeah.”】He paused, made room for me, 【“Yuki, do you want to join us?”】
The bedside lamp went out. The gray-haired boy's golden eyes were brighter than the light just now, but soon closed again. The cat in his arms turned over and snored, belly up. There was an extra heat source next to him. The body temperature of pets is two degrees higher than that of humans, but Morofu Jingguang felt that the temperature on his face was even higher.
At that time, he was thankful that he couldn't see anything in the dark, but now he frowned in discomfort because of this association.
The phone continued to ring. It had been ringing for nearly a minute since the first ring. Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't know whether he should praise Matsuda Jinpei for his patience.
He watched coldly as Shengjiu's fingers tightened around the door frame, his lips loosened from biting, a layer of blood appeared on them, and he said in a resolute voice, "Answer the call, and press the hands-free button."
Even something as private as a cell phone had to be handed over to him, and it seemed like he really couldn't see anything.
Zhu Fu Jingguang said "OK" calmly and did as he was told.
——He also wanted to know why Matsuda called him.
The call was connected, but no one spoke at first. It was raining on both sides, and the sound of rain mixed with the sound of electricity added a bit of oppression.
"Who are you……?"
The other person laughed softly, which was a little blurry through the screen and the noise: "I got it, the butterflies are stacked well."
Butterfly——Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was holding his phone quietly, suddenly felt his brows twitch. Is this a secret code?
At the same time, he did not forget to observe the reaction of the Holy Wine. The latter also looked surprised. There seemed to be some light gathered in her eyes, and then she suddenly remembered something and suddenly raised her head to look at him.
Even though he knew that the other party couldn't see him, Morofushi Kagemitsu's breathing inevitably paused for a moment.
He looked away, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
——
Kouno Seira really didn't expect Matsuda Jinpei to choose this time to call, even if it was two minutes later, sometimes tacit understanding is really not a good thing...
He glanced uncertainly in the direction of Morobushi Kagemitsu, torn between "chatting with Matsuda as usual" and "ending the call quickly."
Finally, he let out a deep breath and gave up thinking.
“…I thought you would see it after some time.” She saw the number he wrote on the origami.
"But it's a bit troublesome to fold the butterfly back to its original shape. I tried, but it's not as pretty as yours." Matsuda Jinpei sighed, not very satisfied with the result, "Teach me when you have time."
Origami also requires constant pursuit of perfection, worthy of being a bomb disposal expert.
Gongye Shengliang said yes, and a smile unconsciously curved his lips.
If the timing was normal, he would have a lot of things to talk about, such as the new product in the cafe is very suitable for maple syrup, something happened last week and it’s not intentional not to go, I heard you’ve been very busy recently, don’t forget to eat on time——
But he remained silent, listening to the sound of rain on both sides, and chose the most irrelevant question: "It's raining heavily outside, have you gone home?"
——
Pop.
The pen cap clattered on the table.
Matsuda Jinpei stopped and looked outside. He could vaguely make out the branches of the cherry trees outside the window struggling against the wind and rain.
It was long past closing time, and when he searched the unlit file room, he found no one except him.
He leaned back in his chair, picked up the pen, and turned it around between his fingers out of habit. He said with a smile, "I guess so. What about you? Don't go out in this weather."
"How can there be a 'counting'..." The person on the other side muttered, and then his voice became clear again, "I went straight home after leaving the cafe, so I didn't run around."
His pronunciation was light, but his tone was firm, as if he was seriously waiting for someone to compliment him.
Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but curl his lips: "Yes, yes, then I ask you to stay at home honestly from now on, and don't disappear again without saying a word."
The pen turned another circle, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the unwrapped flyer on the table, and the upturned curve at the corners of his lips gradually faded.
When the waiter handed the food to him, he also mentioned [“That guest seemed very nervous. Oh, he didn’t come alone. Anyway, the atmosphere was very subtle. I hope they can make peace.”]
Matsuda Jinpei took a deep breath and his face turned a little cold: "Are you alone at home now?"
——
As soon as the question came out, not only did Gongye Shengliang's mind suddenly sound alarm bells, but Zhu Fu Jingguang was also shocked at the same time.
——Why did he/Matsuda suddenly ask this?
——How should I respond? /What will the Holy Wine say?
Feeling someone's eyes were on him, Kono Seira awkwardly looked at Morobushi Keimitsu (the coordinates on the map).
He cleared his throat uncomfortably, imitating the other person's previous answer and said vaguely: "I guess so...By the way, are you busy with work recently?"
He was deeply distressed by the abrupt way of changing the subject.
There was silence for a few seconds before the other party replied, "Not bad."
...He looks like he doesn't want to talk any more. He must have noticed something!
"This is my number. You can call me anytime if you have any problem." After a moment of silence from both sides, Matsuda Jinpei's tone seemed to soften a little. "It's getting late. Remember to lock the doors and windows. Be careful not to let bad guys in." When he said the word "bad guys", he emphasized the syllables meaningfully.
Morobushi Kagemitsu who was still present: "..."
For a moment, he felt that Matsuda was targeting him.
Matsuda, wake up a little, this isn't the kind of responsibility a police officer should have!
No matter how complicated his mood was, Kono Seiryoshi heaved a sigh of relief - forget it this time, he will call Matsuda Jinpei back when he has time, he doesn't want to stay in this suffocating scene for even a second.
"Good night, then?" he said tentatively.
It was still early for break time, but Matsuda Jinpei didn't mind: "Well, good night."
After hanging up the phone, Kono Seiryoshi visibly felt a lot more relaxed, and he was no longer so concerned about the various sequelae of blindness.
His legs were a little numb after squatting for a long time. He leaned against the wall and stood up shakily. When he was worrying about how to move to the bedroom painlessly, he heard Zhufu Jingguang sighing and calling out his code name.
"——Vin, do you need me to stay and take care of you?"
