Jing Baiye accepted Amuro Toru's opinion and decided to call Lvchuan Xin, but he sent an email to Gin first.

[I want to discuss with Midori Chuan about the mission of Xyz Cocktail... I may miss your call next time. Don't hurt Amuro and the others, I will call back immediately when I see your call. —angostura】

Don't be afraid of everything, just in case, it's better to remind me first.

Jing Baiye called Lvchuan Xin after sending the email, this time the call was connected within a second.

The opposite side was a bit noisy, Jing Baiye thought that Lvchuanxin might be on the road outside. He waited for a while, but he didn't hear the other party speak, only the noisy voices of people and vehicles in the background.

"Lu Chuan?" He wondered why he didn't speak.

Lv Chuanxin was called out like this, as if he had finally come to his senses, his voice was a little hoarse: "I was crossing the road just now... It's a bit noisy here, I'm going to find a quiet place, are you feeling better?"

This voice is very gentle, and before he accepts this mission... No, it is more gentle than before this mission, even a little cautious.

—As if the person he was talking to was a fragile object that was broken once and then glued back with great difficulty.

"I'm fine." Jing Baiye calculated how long it would take to return to the safe house: "How is your side?"

They went to eat after training. Due to the delay of the murder case, it was already past nine o'clock.

The Mazda drove past a commercial street, Toru Amuro didn't make a sound to disturb them on the phone, Jing Baiye looked out the car window.

There were people coming and going, and the office workers who came out of the subway station looked tired and rushed home. The dark crowd was surrounded by a sea of ​​colorful neon lights. Advertisements flashed on the big screens of the shopping mall, and the stereos of several shops played. Playing pop music, the shop assistants who have been busy all day are cleaning the door, covering their mouths and yawning...

This is the life of countless ordinary people.

— Only a few steps away from him, but so close to him.

Jingbaiye retracted his gaze, and heard Lvchuan Xin reply: "Xyz Cocktail has been in Jianggutian Town for the past few days. I met people from the zoo organization at a bar last night. They seem to be squatting at someone."

Crouching?

He frowned, Ekota Town meant a lot to him, it was the hometown of the original owner, and there was also the Kuroba family who had helped the original owner.

The black feather thief's magic accident a few years ago was caused by the zoo organization, but the teacher did not die. After leaving Japan for a few years to avoid harming his family, he acted in the United States as the strange thief crow , trying to catch the zoo people...

After visiting Kuroba's house last time, Kaito told him that Chikage Kuroba was going to Las Vegas, USA. But going abroad is not going out of the market, and it is impossible to leave immediately. She first submitted an application to the company, and she can only go there after the handover of the job is completed. She is still in Ekota Town.

...Could it be that the zoo people are eyeing the Kuroba family? Want to cut the weeds?

Thinking of the Heiyu family, Jing Baiye gripped the phone tightly, "Keep watching. If they have any plans to attack ordinary people, tell me immediately."

"Understood." Lvchuan Xin replied.

Hearing the assurance from his subordinate and temporary guardian, Jing Baiye was not completely relieved, he had to remind Kaito to pay attention to whether there were any suspicious persons near his home.

Kaito learned magic from a young age, and he is more sensitive than ordinary people. If someone with malicious intentions tries to break into Kuroba's house, Kaito can find it in time no matter how clean the traces are...

When Jingbaiye was thinking about this, Toru Amuro who was sitting in the driver's seat suddenly sneezed.

"...?"

Jing Baiye gave this subordinate with good physical fitness a strange look, wondering why he sneezed suddenly, could it be a cold?

Fortunately, Toru Amuro only had one slap, and then he returned to normal. Maybe it was just an itchy nose or being nagged by someone.

Lv Chuanxin on the opposite side was walking, after a sound of opening and closing the door, Jing Baiye heard that the other side finally became completely quiet - he should have returned to the car.

Losing that noisy background sound, he noticed that Lvchuanxin's breathing sound was a bit strange.

Jing Baiye is more sensitive to this aspect. When he learned how to approach the target quietly in the past, he learned how to suppress the sound of breathing, so he quickly noticed the abnormality of his subordinates.

Lv Chuanxin's breathing was very soft, and when he listened carefully, it was a little hurried, as if he was trying to suppress some pain... When both sides were in an extremely quiet environment, this small voice was amplified even more.

"Luchuan." Jing Baiye called out, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"...A little bit." The other party smiled helplessly, "Xyz Cocktail is very cunning, and whenever he works, I have to eavesdrop. I didn't sleep well last night."

Jing Baiye thought about it, and it was true, no matter how useless the xyz cocktail was, it was also an undercover agent sent by another criminal organization, and it would not be an easy task to keep an eye on him.

The last time Toru Amuro suffered from insomnia when he went to track down CIA's undercover agent. At that time, he used the skill to ensure sleep by his side. Now Lvchuan Xin is also suffering from insomnia. He shouldn't favor one another and leave him alone.

"Do you want me to go and see you?" Jing Baiye asked, "I can accompany you..."

"no!"

Before he could speak, Toru Amuro interrupted him.

When Jing Baiye looked over suspiciously, Toru Amuro patiently explained: "This is Luchuan's mission, and this mission is very important to him. If you pass by halfway, will the organization suspect that he is paddling in the mission and you are helping us?" He cheated? I know you mean well... but this will hurt him."

"..." This is indeed the truth.

Jing Baiye sighed, and said to Lu Chuanxin, "I can't go over."

"...I know." Midorikawa Xin seemed to have heard Amuro Toru's words, "It's okay, I can adjust the state by myself."

"If you can't stand it anymore, tell me directly, your physical condition is more important." Jing Baiye couldn't help but add.

"good."

The other side was silent for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "Angestra."

"What's wrong?"

"...When I finish the task and come back, let's go to the hot spring together."

This is the email that Jingbaiye sent to Lvchuanxin last night. He didn't reply him at that time, but now he changed the subject and repeated it.

"Okay, I will notify you as soon as this mission is over." Jing Baiye couldn't help laughing, "I'll wait for your return."

At that time, you will be a code member like me.

——

"Daddy threw my toys away."

"What toy?"

"A pair of handcuffs, given to me by my neighbor's brother, who said he would come after he became a policeman..."

The little face of the black-haired boy who was being hugged by him was wrinkled from crying. He wiped his tears aggrievedly, and looked up at him.

…

"!!"

Zhu Fu Jingguang woke up with a start. He lay on his back on the bed, the clothes on his back soaked in cold sweat.

He felt his heart beating violently, as if someone had stuffed large **** of cotton wool into it after soaking it in water, brutally blocking all the space, and making every breath he took was painful.

Zhu Fu Jingguang saw the electronic alarm clock on the bedside table, and the time displayed on it was 4:44.

He couldn't sleep, it was already the second day he had insomnia, his body was very tired, his spirit was very exhausted, his reason told him that he had to rest. But he closed his eyes without any drowsiness, and the dull feeling in his chest forced him to stay awake.

Zhu Fu Jingguang pushed the quilt aside, got up and got out of bed, put on ill-fitting slippers and went to the first floor.

He went to the bathroom to wash his face first, and splashed cold water on his face, making his consciousness clearer.

After wiping off the water, Zhu Fu Jingguang raised his head and looked at his own appearance in the mirror: his face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were fierce, and the beard on his chin that hadn't been cleaned for several days made this face become more sloppy and vicious.

Facing the unfamiliar self in the mirror, Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled self-deprecatingly.

...If he met Angostella with this appearance for the first time, the little boss would definitely not like it, would he?

After washing his face, he left the bathroom and sat on the sofa in the living room.

He didn't have anything in his hands, the police phone, the organization's phone, or the bug phone Angostella gave him, all of which he threw in the bedroom on the second floor. He just sat on the sofa in a daze with his hands empty.

After four o'clock, the sky is no longer completely dark, and there is a little light in the sky.

The living room is connected to the courtyard, through the glass door leading to the courtyard, Zhu Fu Jingguang saw the trees in the courtyard.

As if ironic, there was actually a cherry blossom tree planted in the safe house of this criminal organization.

There is a folk proverb in Japan called "sakura for seven days", which means that the cherry blossoms are in short bloom. It is already the end of May at this time, and the cherry blossoms have withered long ago.

Facing Fa Xiao and Angustra, Zhu Fu Jingguang was able to communicate with them in a calm tone, not wanting to make them worry or make him suspicious.

But when he was alone, with no partners or enemies around him, he finally lost control of his suppressed emotions.

Sure enough, as he had guessed before, the dead tenants were Angostella's parents, and this was his former home. The people he poisoned to death when he was seven years old were his biological parents.

What Angustra committed was a crime of kinicide that is intolerable in most countries, most regions, and in most eras from ancient times to the present.

But…

Thinking of the information collected by Zero, Zhu Fu Jingguang clenched his fists.

He used to have a happy family, a kind-hearted father, a gentle and considerate mother, and a smart and sensible brother. Even when everything fell apart when he was seven years old, and he and his elder brother were adopted by relatives, the relatives who adopted him never beat or scolded him, and raised him well.

He couldn't understand why some people dared to kill their biological parents, and he also couldn't understand why some parents would harm their own children.

More than 30 domestic violence police records, and the sister who died of violence in the end—while children of the same age enjoyed the love of their parents and other elders, he struggled in the quagmire, finally suffocated, and sank in the endless darkness.

The light never took pity on him, and the police... the police, who were supposed to symbolize justice, not only failed to help him, but were even one of the culprits who pushed him into the darkness.

And he himself... When he didn't know anything, he had a prejudice against the members of the black organization, suspected the crimes he had committed, worried that he was a hopeless little devil, and planned to deliberately alienate him...

"Cough cough cough!"

Zhu Fujingguang's breathing was suddenly blocked, and he coughed violently, his lungs burst into burning pain, making him completely out of breath.

He grabbed the clothes on his chest, slowly curled up his body, his head drooped almost to his knees, and he finally recovered after a while.

Zhu Fu Jingguang maintained this posture for a long time before slowly getting up. He took a few deep breaths, blinked his dry eyes, and looked at the glass door again.

Not far from the tree was a row of wooden walls, and he knew that behind the wooden wall was Liu Ji’s house—the home of his former senior who wanted to be a policeman but now disappeared, Liu Ji Shunichi.

It was out of his concern and doubts about his senior that he asked Fa Xiao to investigate, and found out the past that he hadn't expected.

Zhu Fu Jing Guangmu sat there in a daze. In a trance, he thought of the black-haired boy he had seen near the park seven years ago and appeared again in his dream.

——“A pair of handcuffs, my neighbor’s brother gave it to me, he said he will come after he becomes a policeman…”

— "I will come to save me and my sister!"

In my memory, the brilliance of the setting sun gradually dissipated, and the boy standing with his back to the light finally put down his hand wiping his tears, revealing a pair of intact red eyes.

His skin was pale, his cheeks looked soft, and he was very cute.

He looked up at Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was much taller than him, and his tone was no longer aggrieved by his father throwing away the toy, but firm - he believed that the person who had made an appointment with him would definitely keep the agreement firmly.

The boy in memory, rushing to the garbage dump to find his discarded treasure again;

Zhu Fu Jingguang outside the memory~lightnovelpub.net~ finally put the clues together.

The boy who rummaged through garbage seven years ago, the senior who graduated in the same year but gave up becoming a policeman, the adjacent house, the evidence recorded in the paper file, and what he said to the senior when he called him to ask the reason for giving up …

— "It's meaningless...Jing Guang. All my efforts have been meaningless until now..."

Through the phone, Liu Jishunyi's tone was light and ethereal, like a kite floating in the sky with its string broken. After losing the only support, no one can hold him back. His voice seemed to cry in the next second.

— "I'm late, none of them are here."

"..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at the cherry blossom tree that had passed its flowering period.

...It turned out that he had met Angustra so long ago.
