Chapter 60
Naturally, Amemiya Reishi's job couldn't be simpler. He just had to go around the crime scene, discuss the progress of the case with his colleagues, and fill in the blanks in the report, and he was done.
The time after work is completed is their free time.
"Sir, where do you want to go for a walk?" Tsushima Shuji asked after Amamiya Ruisei handed in the report.
He went out with Amamiya Ruisei today. It was more like shopping than working. They even arranged for a driver to take them out, so it was a very leisurely time. However, the atmosphere between them did not seem like they were out for relaxation. It was so solemn that even the driver did not dare to chat until Tsushima Shuji spoke.
"I thought you weren't going to talk today." Amamiya Leisei glanced at the boy, "Hmm... where are we going? Let's go to the bookstore."
"I want to buy some books."
Tsushima Shuji: "Buy books? If there is any book you want, I can buy it for you."
"That's different."
As Amamiya pushed the wheelchair forward slowly, he said, "Don't you think it's a good place to read books? It has a very bookish atmosphere. Besides, I want to see if there are any other books I want to read besides the ones I want to buy, so that we can buy them all."
He coughed a few times and looked at Tsushima Shuji: "Shuji-kun, do you want to buy some books to read? You can't just stay at home and study by yourself. That's so boring."
"I don't have any books I want to read... The textbooks are quite interesting." Tsushima Shuji hurriedly went forward to push the wheelchair, fearing that Amamiya Raisei would accidentally run into the road. "After all, we have to take the entrance examination in advance. We have one year less study time than students of the same grade, so we have to work harder."
The boy pouted. "Ango's grades are about the same as mine. If he surpasses me, I'll definitely be laughed at."
Amamiya Raisei pointed in the direction of the bookstore, motioning Tsushima Shuji to go there, and said, "In that case, why don't you go to school? I heard from Chief Taneda that you even took away some of the tasks originally assigned to Ango-kun."
The young man turned his head, looked at Tsushima Shuji, and asked, "Why are you so anxious? Is there something else that I don't know about?"
Tsushima Shuji: "...No, I just thought, since I can do it, why not do it?"
Amamiya shook his head helplessly: "You can do it, but you don't have to do it, Shuji-kun."
"I'm happy that you study well, but I don't require you to study well. Think about it, there are only a few students in a school who find textbooks interesting." The young man sighed.
Just then they arrived at the bookstore. Amamiya Raisei stopped talking and pushed open the door: "Let's go in first, Shuji-kun."
"We have to see if there are any books you want," he patted the back of Tsushima Shuji's hand, "buy whatever you want, but let me make it clear that you can't force yourself to buy something just because I want you to. If you're really not interested, we can go somewhere else."
Tsushima Shuji stood beside Amamiya Ruisei, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, sir, then please be careful."
Amamiya Leisheng reached out and tapped the boy's forehead: "Got it, go ahead."
This bookstore is not small and even has a second floor. The customers in the store are very well-mannered, reading quietly in the bookshelves and at the tables. The only sounds in the store are the scattered conversations and the sound of turning pages.
Amemiya Leisheng carefully pushed the wheelchair towards the medical area. The wheels pressed against the wooden floor, making occasional squeaking sounds. He walked slowly and took the opportunity to look around to see what books were on the bookshelves he passed by.
"What kind of books should I buy?" Amamiya Leisheng came to the bottom of the bookcase, looked up at the neatly arranged books on it, "First Aid..."
He casually pulled out a book, placed it on his lap and started flipping through it. This book was probably something that only medical students would read, as it was filled with professional knowledge. After looking at it for a few times, Amamiya Rei's eyes started to circle and he put the book back in a daze.
Ah...it was the right decision that he had not read any medical books before.
I should ask my doctor what book I should buy if I want to learn first aid. Amamiya Rei took out his cell phone, searched for his doctor, and sent him an email.
"What book are you looking for?" While Amamiya Rei was waiting for the doctor's reply, someone came up to him and asked, "I can help you find it."
"Ah, I just want to find some books about first aid." Amamiya Reizo looked over, a little surprised.
The person in front of him was obviously not very old, and looked like a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old, with neat red hair, a dull look in his eyes, and no expression on his face. When facing the guests, he only smiled with a slight arc, and looked quite obedient.
"Those books are not in this bookcase. The books here are all professional books," the boy said. "I'll ask you to look for them."
"thank you."
Amamiya Leisei smiled and said, "Are you an employee here? You don't look very old."
"Well, I'm working here temporarily." The boy pushed the wheelchair and nodded, "I'm 16 years old."
Amamiya Raisei: "You're not even an adult yet, and you're already working?"
"Because I need to eat." The boy's tone was calm and he answered every question. "If I don't work, I won't have money."
Amamiya Reizo frowned slightly and wanted to ask something, but thought it would be impolite, so he held it back and said, "Is that so? You work very hard, and that's really amazing. In addition to first aid books, I want to take a look at the latest bestsellers. It would be even better if you have any recommended novels."
The boy brought a book on first aid to Amamiya Ruisei, and after hearing what he said, the smile on his face seemed to grow a little bigger: "Do you like reading novels?"
"I guess so." Amamiya Leisheng chuckled, "After all, you can see that I am not in good health. Apart from reading, I don't have any entertainment options."
The boy opened his mouth and said, "You will recover."
Amamiya Reisheng smiled and said, "Thank you, what's your name? I'm Amamiya Reisheng."
"Oda Sakunosuke," the boy said, and then he pushed his wheelchair to the best-selling books section. "I also like reading books. What kind of books do you like to read?"
"It's Oda-kun."
Amamiya Reizo thought for a moment and said, "Let's read some light books."
He joked, "Even light novels are fine. After all, they are generally quite interesting and good for killing time."
"Light novels... I haven't read them much."
The boy pursed his lips: "Sorry, I can't recommend it."
Amamiya Leisei waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll just buy some that I like."
As he was speaking, he saw out of the corner of his eye a familiar boy standing in front of a bookcase, staring blankly at the books on it, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Shuji-kun? Why are you standing here?" Amamiya called out and pushed the wheelchair over. "Did you see the book you wanted?"
Tsushima Shuji was startled, muttered twice, and looked away from the bookcase: "...No."
Hmm? Amamiya Leisheng raised his eyebrows and looked towards the bookcase. Among all the books, he accurately saw a book with a red cover. It had the words "Complete Suicide Manual" written on it. It didn't look like a normal book.
"Shuji-kun wants this?" Amamiya Rei was stunned.
Tsushima Shuji remained silent.
Judging from the name, he has a personality very similar to Tsushima Shuji... Amamiya Ruisei laughed and said, "Buy it if you want, but give me one too."
The boy uttered an "ah" in confusion.
Amamiya Raisei waved the first aid encyclopedia in his hand and said, "It's a good opportunity for me to study some suicide methods, just in case I see you committing suicide next time and I can't find the right way to save you."
