MTL - After Binding the Barrage, My Friend and I Wore Red and Black-Chapter 24
By the time Fu Jingguang returned to the safe house, it was already late.
He remembered that the lights in the room were still on before Yuma Tsujimoto let him go. When he came back, he saw only black eyes.
Sure enough, the lights were turned off.
Tsujimoto Yu really doesn't like turning on the lights. He seems to be a nocturnal animal by nature, and he will feel more at ease only when he is immersed in the darkness.
"Congratulations, you still remember to come back?"
A slightly hoarse voice sounded, and Zhu Fu Jingguang approached subconsciously, only to find that Tsujimoto Yu was really sitting at the table, flipping through an old diary in his hand.
"You asked me to come back, and I will come back." Zhu Fu Jingguang replied obediently.
With Tsujimoto behind him, he also felt a little relieved. At least when facing Tsujimoto Yushin, the grudge in his heart is not as much as he used to be.
Tsujimoto Yuma didn't answer, he closed the diary in his hand and folded it upside down on the table.
"Just, I will go to the headquarters of the black-clothed organization with me. Jinjiu and the others have a task to announce. This time I ask you to complete it with me."
Tsujimoto Yuma seemed to have completely forgotten what happened before, and gave the order directly.
"You're going with me?" Zhu Fu Jingguang was stunned for a moment,
"But my identity..."
"You pretend to be me to participate." Tsujimoto Yuzhen yawned lazily, and it was obvious that he didn't rest well at all.
"I can't do anything like this, so you have to be responsible. This is also a good thing you did, are you satisfied?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang: "..."
No, he really doesn't know anything.
Tsujimoto Yuma seems to have calmed down, he probably thought about it for a long time, and finally did not do anything to Zhufu Jingguang.
But his expression looked really unhappy.
"Don't worry, the content of this task will not be very complicated." Tsujimoto Yuma handed over the heavy report in his hand, and at the same time held the white porcelain cup on the table,
"Chase A, our mission this time is as simple as that."
A, it is also the traitor of the organization, Alaska, who once again chose to backstab after confirming to cooperate with the Black Organization.
Half of the information he gave was true, and half of it was false. After he had injured Glenz, who was in charge of the follow-up work, he broke off and ran away. This time, the organization in black would not let him go.
"It's hard to drink."
Before Zhu Fu Jingguang could read the information, he heard Tsujimoto Yuma's distasteful voice.
"Aren't there sugar cubes and milk? I don't like bitter coffee, it's terrible."
"It's better not to drink coffee at night." Zhu Fu Jingguang gave a friendly suggestion.
"Did I ask you to refute?"
"I'm just thinking about your body."
"...Thank you so much."
Tsujimoto Yuma couldn't see the word "thank you" on his face, but he didn't reject Zhu Fu Jingguang's concern too much.
The radio in the room was turned on at some point, and the news was still playing continuously.
At this moment, neither Tsujimoto Yuma nor Zhufu Jingguang spoke, and they heard quite shocking news on the familiar radio.
"According to reports, there seems to be some negative news related to Officer Tsujimoto about the serial murderer's hostage-taking case a few years ago..."
"bad news?"
This time, even Zhu Fu Jingguang was a little surprised.
However, Tsujimoto Yuma didn't look strange, and even showed an expression of [Ah, really].
"My rather difficult brother seems to have done something unexpected."
This doesn't sound like good news.
Although Zhu Fu Jingguang thought so in his heart, he denied the idea after seeing the leisurely expression of Tsujimoto Yuzhen.
There is no person in this world who cares more about Tsujimoto's involvement than Yuma Tsujimoto.
It is precisely because they are twin brothers that they know each other deeply. It is precisely because they know each other that they can guess each other's next move.
"If you want to catch birds and birds, you will always set up traps in advance." Tsujimoto Yuma said slowly,
"Sprinkle grains, and when they fly down to peck, the bamboo baskets will buckle upside down."
"In this incident, Sheren played both cereals and bamboo baskets."
Bad rumors spread faster than thought.
Hanyu Ibuki probably spent a lot of money on reporters, he tried his best to spread his negative influence, and at the same time he wanted to drive Tsujimoto to a dead end.
This is malicious revenge.
The silver-haired police officer half-squinted his eyes, leaning his head on one side, and the ends of his water-stained hair stuck to the glass of the car window.
[Current red square value: 55%, your reputation value is dropping sharply, do you really plan to do something? 】
Looking at the pop-up window, Tsujimoto Shiren casually clicked the cross and continued to close his eyes to rest.
He wasn't going to explain anything.
He didn't know anything about what happened back then. The only thing he knew was that Officer Nobuhara must have a very close connection with this incident.
Rather than being restless, he thought it would be better to ask the client first.
But what Tsujimoto didn't think about was that the barrage's reaction was not that intense—or the direction of the intensity seemed a little different.
…
【I understand. 】
【Do you understand again? ? 】
[I will come first, this must be a conspiracy involving people! 】
【? ? ? What's the matter with you guys? ? Shouldn't you be worried about Shirenjiang being pitted at this time? I look so nervous! 】
[You are new here, right? Remember to make up the first few chapters, especially where gin is held hostage - I don't believe that a man who can hang gin on the roof would be so easily tricked! 】
[But...A is obviously well prepared, right? Those reporters were not at the door at all. He should have secretly recorded the conversation between the two and edited it out, and then sent it to the group of reporters as [testimony]. 】
【Yes. Moreover, A has also eaten steadily, and it is impossible for Sheren Jiang to speak out about the Black Organization! So he wanted to take advantage of the other party's lack of relevant memories, and wanted to further stimulate Sherenjiang's memory. 】
[Hi... So is Shiren really amnesia? If according to this setting, Shiren does not remember what happened when he was a child, did he also experience some kind of bad past? 】
[I feel yes, but I haven't mentioned what Shiren has gone through in the past... I'm really anxious! 】
[Anyway, I think it is impossible for Shirenjiang to know nothing! He must have done it on purpose! 】
[Although I don't understand what Sherenjiang wants to do next, I just believe that Sherenjiang must hang A on the roof.JPG]
[Don’t be like this, the rooftop is exclusive to gin, and A should hang somewhere else. 】
[You are thinking too much, no matter how I look at it, I can't imagine the benefits of carrying such a stigma? Is your filter too heavy? 】
[Is it true that you just continue to look down! 】
[Woooooooo, so am I the only one who cares about the wet CG of Shiren-chan? It really looks like a grievance cat wet from the rain! I can do it again! 】
…
So the barrage silently added three reputation points to him.
Tsujimoto doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand.
"Does your head still hurt?"
Noticing Tsujimoto's frown, Kenji Hagihara asked with concern.
"It's much better, thank you for your attention." Tsujimoto opened his eyes again, but the tiredness still remained in those eyes.
"Can I sleep for a while? Call me again when the Metropolitan Police Department is there."
"Just go to sleep, ask what we do?" Matsuda Jinping was puzzled.
"I'm all wet and it will stain your car.".
"…"
After a while, a clean coat was thrown directly on Tsujimoto Toshito's head.
"Shouldn't you be concerned about whether you will catch a cold in the first place?? Why do you care about the car??"
Looking at those puzzled eyes, Matsuda Jinping was angry for a while and didn't know what to do, so he simply threw his coat over,
"Sleep in your sleep, I'll call you when we get there."
"Oh, that's fine."
Tsujimoto Shiren grabbed the clothes that were still warm, and silently added five points to Matsuda Jinhei's favorability.
There is definitely no way to sleep too well this time, but considering that I have to continue to be busy later, it is always a good thing to take a rest now.
After just a few minutes, steady breathing came from the back seat, and it looked like he had fallen asleep.
Probably too tired.
Although the two of them didn't get along with Tsujimoto for a long time, in this short period of time, they probably knew about Tsujimoto's character.
Hates trouble, is slow to react to certain things or jumps out, but is always more mobile than anyone else.
They didn't know what happened back then, but neither of them believed that Tsujimoto would do something like killing a hostage.
Even if he was just an ordinary little policeman.
"There is something strange about this matter, first of all... Why is Ibuki Hanyu so aware of the case back then?" Matsuda Jinping lowered his voice,
"Why did he kill Officer Tsujimoto, or is there any grudge between them?"
"I don't know." Hagihara Kenji tightened his fingers slightly.
"However, you must not just watch the rumors spread like this."
Let's ask Officer Nobuhara first. Although it's not good to expose people's scars directly, it is better to clarify the truth of the matter as soon as possible.
"I've already called Sergeant Nobuhara. But...he doesn't seem willing to speak."
Everyone fell silent.
Actually completely understandable.
The fiancée, who was about to get married, was inexplicably involved in a kidnapping case and died. No one can accept it.
But in this way, the reason why Officer Nobuhara hated Officer Tsujimoto before can be found.
"This is the first time I know that Officer Nobuhara had a fiancée before..."
"I just found out that Officer Tsujimoto intervened in that case, so what happened? Why did the hostage die because of Officer Tsujimoto?"
"It's hard to say this kind of thing. There are not many records in the archives. I'm afraid only those who have seen it with their own eyes know the truth."
…
As a result, Officer Nobuhara was still reluctant to answer the phone.
Tsujimoto put down the phone and let out a long sigh.
"Officer Tsujimoto, please wipe your hair with a towel first. What's the matter with you? Are you going out without an umbrella? You're all soaking wet." My heart will be broken,
"So why did you go to Hanyu Ibuki? Do you think he was the one who threatened you?"
"I think so." Tsujimoto took the towel,
"But I have no evidence, so I can't say anything right now."
"In other words, did you rely entirely on your intuition to find the other party??" Matsuda Jinping's eyes almost ate Tsujimoto.
"That's right, I was thinking about whether I could tell something, but I didn't expect it to be countered." Tsujimoto sighed.
"As expected, I can't beat the scheming lawyer Hanyu. I'm still too weak."
The other party really did something that he didn't expect.
According to Tsujimoto's understanding of A, that guy's intelligence level should not reach such a level. He could think of using the media to frame him in combination with previous cases, which was surprising to Tsujimoto.
But no matter what, A is also a member of the black organization, and Tsujimoto will definitely not have a good face towards him.
"So what's urgent now is to find out what happened back then—and, how can you wipe your hair like this? The water stains from the ends of your hair will drip into your neck."
The towel in Tsujimoto's hand was quickly taken away, and the next second, the towel was roughly placed on Tsujimoto's head, and the other party rubbed it roughly twice. After a while, Tsujimoto's hair was successful. Fried.
"Matsuda-kun." Looking at his horrible hairstyle, Tsujimoto said quietly,
"Tell me, have you been dissatisfied with me for a long time, so you want to seek revenge?"
If it goes on like this, he feels that he can take the opportunity to change his hairstyle.
"How about you two?" Hagihara Kenji reluctantly grabbed the towel from Matsuda Jinping's hand.
"Don't talk about it for now, just wipe your hair clean and then talk about it - and, Officer Tsujimoto, remember to change your clothes, you are very easy to catch a cold. Do you remember the bad cold a while ago?"
"That was a long time ago..."
Tsujimoto said in a low voice, but he didn't object to the other party's proposal.
So everyone went to check the information in the following time, while Hagihara Kenji carefully helped Tsujimoto to clean his hair, and at the same time gave him a new set of clothes for him to put on temporarily.
"I didn't expect Officer Tsujimoto to actually have softer hair. If you add some natural curls, it will be similar to Xiaojinping." Hagihara Kenji said with emotion.
"Police Officer Hagihara also wiped Officer Matsuda's hair before?" Tsujimoto put on a new coat and asked curiously.
"We are childhood sweethearts." Hagihara Kenji smiled.
"Xiao Zhenping has not been worry-free since he was a child, and this is still the case."
"It can be seen that the police officer Hagihara is much more reliable than Matsuda-kun in any way." Regardless of Matsuda Jinping's remarks [don't talk about others for half a pound], Tsujimoto said with emotion,
"When I was a child, I helped my brother wipe his hair. Thinking about it, this is the first time someone has wiped my hair for me."
Hagihara Kenji's heart moved slightly.
"With the character of a police officer involved, it's probably the one who wipes everyone's hair, right?" Matsuda Jinpei just changed the topic.
"Not really, but all the older children were adopted back then, so I unconsciously wanted to be everyone's elder brother... That kind of feeling, right?" Tsujimoto thought about it, but his brows wrinkled again. ,
"It was also many years ago, and I don't remember it very clearly."
"Then stop thinking about it." Hagihara Kenji said softly,
"There's no need to force yourself to remember, it will be painful to recall memories you don't want to touch."
Tsujimoto has been accustomed to not going back to those memories of the dust, and every time he tries to touch it, it is an unbearable sting.
After all, the development of his character is probably also related to these pasts.
It's not bad though.
At least you don't have to think about bad things, and sometimes life is a lot better.
"Officer Hagihara does give people a very reliable feeling. With you around, I always feel a lot more relaxed."
Tsujimoto sat on the side of the sofa. He looked at the relevant documents on the table, but there was an imperceptible haze in the depths of his eyes.
"If only it could be resolved sooner."
"...It will be resolved."
After a while, Hagihara Kenji put his fingers on the other person's shoulder, as if he wanted to convey this peace of mind to the other person.
"Wait a little longer."
At least at this time, he can still help a little.
