"..."

"loose……"

"...Matsuda..."

Matsuda Jinhei heard a familiar female voice calling him.

Consciousness gradually became clear, and all the memories before the coma flooded into the brain in an instant, as if someone was pushed back to the surface from the deep sea. In the next second, Matsuda Jinping opened his eyes.

What caught my eye was no longer the snow field, but the white ceiling of the room.

"..."

Matsuda Jinhei didn't respond for a while, his eyes swept aside, and looked at Sato Mikazu next to him—she was the one who had been calling him just now.

Seeing him wake up, Mikazu Sato looked surprised: "That's great, Matsuda, I thought you were still feeling unwell, I was thinking about taking you to the hospital for a check up..."

Matsuda Jin sat up and found himself lying on a bed. He looked left and right, and determined that it was a completely unfamiliar environment, not the control room inside the reservoir, nor the hotel they stayed in last night.

He pressed his temples, feeling that his head was still groggy. He usually has a bandage on his dexterous right hand, and the laceration of the palm has already been professionally treated, and it will not affect the flexibility of his hand after recovery.

"Where is this? How did I pass out?"

"This is the restroom inside the Niigata Prefectural Police Station, because you were only in a coma and had no other injuries except your palm. The local police arrived and brought you here."

Sato Miwako explained to him, and suddenly sighed when she said this.

"The doctor said that you were overly tense along the way, relaxed instantly after you escaped danger, and your mood fluctuated too much, which caused you to pass out... I was too careless, I fell into the trap left by that guy and didn't keep up. You, if the two of us chased together, you probably wouldn't have nearly fallen."

Matsuda Jinhei interrupted her: "I'm not that vulnerable."

"I also don't think you are that vulnerable, but the doctor checked you when you were in a coma. You only have injuries on your hands, and there are no signs of being beaten in other places. You have also drawn blood for testing, and there is nothing in your body. Any medicinal ingredient..."

The subtext was—it wasn't because he was knocked out or injected with drugs, he could only fainted himself.

Matsuda Jinping frowned, Sato Mikazu raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "By the way, while you were in a coma, all the bombs on the reservoir have been removed, and the village is safe and sound."

Hearing these words, Matsuda Jinhei's tense body relaxed a little.

"Matsuda, you have to thank Mr. Yamao this time. He pulled you up, and then he kept guarding you until the police came, and pointed out the bomb on the reservoir to the police."

……you?

Matsuda Jinhei noticed Sato Miwako's words: "The one I caught..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the lounge was opened, and two local police officers from Niigata Prefecture walked in.

Matsuda Jinhei saw that they were holding evidence bags and transcripts of criminal cases that he was familiar with. As police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department, they have to leave a record when they catch prisoners in major criminal cases in the area when the local police are not there.

The older one nodded to Sato Mikazu, she immediately gave up her seat, and after he expressed his thanks, he sat on the chair next to Matsuda Jinpei.

"Officer Matsuda, how are you feeling?"

Matsuda Jinping flexed his neck: "It's okay... By the way, how is the prisoner?"

He asked the question that had been interrupted earlier.

"..."

The two local county police officers looked at each other with a hesitant expression.

Matsuda Jinhei realized that something was wrong, and immediately turned to look at Sato Mikazu.

The policewoman who woke up one step ahead of him was silent for a moment. She raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a helpless tone: "The prisoner we met in the control room fell into the reservoir, and the Niigata Prefectural Police was there. His body was recovered from the water an hour ago."

Matsuda Jinping was stunned.

"Officer Matsuda, you don't have to care about this kind of person." The county policeman sitting next to him also said, "We checked the surveillance at the outer gate of the reservoir and saw that you shot him in a reasonable manner, and he climbed over the guardrail himself. Attempting to escape. You stretched out your hand to pull him at the time, and it was all kind and righteous, but he broke free from your hand because he didn't want to be caught by the police, and it wasn't your fault at all."

"..."

No, not at all.

At that time, that guy was holding onto his hand tightly, for fear that he would throw him down on purpose, how could he break free? !

"I heard a gunshot when I fell, have you done an autopsy on him?"

"We did find a bullet in his leg. According to the inspection, it was shot from Officer Matsuda's gun. Other than that, there were no other gunshot wounds."

"But--"

The elderly county policeman stood up, patted Matsuda Jinping on the shoulder, and interrupted his questioning: "Maybe you heard it wrong? There may be hallucinations."

Matsuda Jinhei's fists clenched tightly all of a sudden. Sato Mikazu noticed this scene and patted him on the back quietly, implying that he should not casually clash with the two local county police in front of him.

"..." Matsuda Jinping released his hand and asked calmly, "What about the second prisoner?"

Another young county policeman clenched the evidence bag, his voice was dry, as if trying to suppress his fear of something.

"The second prisoner also died, he... he was..."

The elder county policeman couldn't see his timid appearance, so he took over the words: "He may have been attacked by a wild bear, we found his uneaten hand in an empty bear cave... After DNA identification confirmed that it was Yamao Keisuke."

"We asked the villagers in Kitazawa Village, and they said that wild bears do appear on the mountains near the reservoir, and they are usually blocked by protective nets, so there was no news of any attacks on reservoir employees or villagers in the past, but this time the prisoners somehow ran there The bear will wake up when it hears movement during hibernation. The prisoner probably accidentally broke into the bear cave."

The elder county policeman sighed after speaking.

He stayed in a small place just to stay safe. He didn't expect such a bad thing to happen. Fortunately, this time the bear eating people was just an accident, and a criminal died.

Until dawn tomorrow, the police and local hunters will go into the mountains to hunt bears. Beasts that have eaten people cannot stay, because they have tasted the sweetness once, and they are very likely to take the initiative to attack humans.

……

After Matsuda Jinhei finished writing the transcript, the two county policemen left the room.

After the door was closed, Matsuda Jin got out of bed. He saw that there was no no-smoking sign in the lounge, so he took out the cigarette case from his pocket.

Because his right hand was bandaged, his movements were a little stiff, and his hand shook a few times before lighting the cigarette.

"You still want to smoke at this time?"

Sato Miwako saw that his hand was still twitching, and felt the veins on his forehead jumping.

Matsuda Jinhei smiled at her and avoided talking about smoking: "Where is Yosuke Yamao now?"

"Mr. Yamao came to the police station with us. After he provided the DNA test and took a transcript, he returned to the village. Before leaving, he came to the lounge to look at you... Is there any problem?" Mikazu Sato asked curiously.

"No problem, I'm just asking."

Matsuda Jinping slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and turned his head to look out the window.

In winter, it gets dark earlier than in other seasons. The time displayed on the clock is only 5:30, and it is completely dark outside. Because of the snow, even the moonlight was very thin, and there was hardly any light in the entire night sky.

The two prisoners in this case all died before the police arrested them.

And according to the county police's description, one of the two people's deaths was that they jumped over the guardrail and died, and the other was that they broke into the bear cave and were attacked, all of which can be attributed to accidents.

——There is no need to find the murderer, and there is no need to find the murderer... an accident.

The county police just showed him the remains inspection report. The time of Yamao Keisuke's death was very close to when he entered the reservoir, and the bear cave was far away from the reservoir. The Yamao Yosuke who saved him didn't have that time, so...

Matsuda Jinhei thought of Gray Clow and Zhufu Jingguang who left the hotel first.

In this incident, will it be them...

This guess made Matsuda Jinping's heart sink. His Adam's apple moved up and down, but he was speechless at this moment.

He has always been fearless, and he doesn't want to think about it at all.

"Matsuda, I contacted Officer Meguro. He said that there will be a blizzard in Niigata Prefecture at around 7 o'clock. The Shinkansen is currently out of service. Let's go back tomorrow... Matsuda? Did you listen to me?" Sato Mikazuko said. After more than half of it, I realized that Matsuda Jinping didn't seem to listen at all.

"It's up to you to decide." Matsuda Jinhei walked to the window, "Anyway, the case is closed, you can go back anytime."

Sato Mikazu walked over with him, she stood beside him and looked out together.

"Are you worried?" she asked.

Matsuda Jinhira put his hand on the window frame and stared at the heavy snow outside: "That guy...why did he hold me at that time?"

It's not that he has nothing to say, it's that he is really curious.

Yamao Yosuke, he is a member of the criminal organization that Furuya and Zhufu infiltrated, so Matsuda Jinhei, who usually has a bad temper, is quite unfriendly to him in the hotel.

Matsuda Jinhei guessed that the coma of himself and Sato was probably caused by him, and that Nakata Ryoji would fall, and it was most likely related to him, but it was even more strange.

From the point of view of a criminal organization, Yosuke Yamao ignored him, letting him get rid of his strength when the time came was the best revenge, and there was no evidence afterward.

Why is he going to save him?

"Buzz..."

A sudden vibration in his arms interrupted Matsuda Jinhei's thoughts. He took out his mobile phone and it was a call from a colleague from the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Hey, is that Matsuda? I've found the information on the person you asked me to investigate this morning..."

————

It was snowing lightly, and a row of street lamps lit up on the streets of Rice Flower Town.

A black Porsche 356A parked quietly on the side of a road in 6-chome, and for some unknown time, a thin layer of white snow accumulated on the car.

Across a wall is a villa, from which you can see the light on the second floor.

The radio in the car was on, and the news of Niigata Prefecture was playing.

"This afternoon, an unknown person bombed a reservoir in Niigata Prefecture. Two police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department successfully stopped the gangster. The gangster died during the escape."

Vodka was sitting in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel in his hand and saying nothing, while the gin beside him was talking to another person.

"It took so long to complete such a simple task of recovery and silence..."

After listening to the other party's report, Gin took out a cigarette from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, picked up the cigarette lighter in the car and lit it, his tone was extremely cold.

"Apero, is it because your relatives are involved in the case that you have inexplicable pity?"

"It's not my fault, right? Gin, you added a new mission to me temporarily. If there was no such emergency mission, I could have solved it as early as the first day the bomb was stolen."

"I'll never be merciful to the betrayer, you know that about me."

The first blasting expert in the organization was extremely frivolous.

……

At this time, the snow in the village of Xinbei is heavier than that of Mihua Town.

Apello, who came back from the Niigata Prefectural Police Station to make a transcript, did not return to the hotel room immediately, he leaned against the railing of the terrace outside the hotel.

Such wind and snow reminded Appero of his childhood, when he was ostracized by his peers because of his natural red hair, and even once led by Shogo Glacier, a group of people tricked him into a place far away from the village - stripping him of his jacket, bound his hands and feet, buried him in the snow to make a living snowman, and pushed him down in the snow.

The bullying of children is so bad, sometimes it is more bottomless than adults. At that time, he really thought he was going to die.

Because of his disappearance and bullying before, his grandmother immediately called the police. When the police in the village arrived, they realized that the situation was serious and immediately called those people to question him, trying to find out his whereabouts~lightnovelpub.net~ but they said Lie, Glacier said he went to Liyuan Fuyumei's house to read a book, Liyuan said that he did go, so they didn't see him.

In the end, it was Kisuke...his cousin saved him.

——He punched Glacier several times and did what the police couldn't do at all. He successfully asked where he was buried, insisted on rushing over with the police, and dug him out of the snow.

He still remembered that his fingertips were all broken when he dug, but when he saw him open his eyes to look at him, he still showed a bright smile and wiped the snow off his face for him.

It was the most beautiful smile Apello had ever seen, and he could always remember that scene.

The strong wind blew snow particles onto his face, and Apero felt his cheeks become cold, and snow water slipped down his face.

As much as he likes that smile, he hates him for using and betraying him.

The hurt of the people close to you is the deepest, the most painful, and the most hated - the betrayal is always more hateful than the person who is simply on the opposite side.

Perhaps because of this similar experience to Angstra, Gin asked him to observe Angstra and the subordinates who were brought on a mission by him.

After all, this little bitter wine, which is as special as him, will belong to that gentleman...

The opposite Gin snorted coldly and went straight to the real task he gave him.

"Is there anything suspicious about Scotch whisky?"
