Chapter 140 Amuro Toru: What's the point of bartending?
Outside guard one.
When he heard the name, Toru Amuro subconsciously turned his head and looked at Fako next to him.
That was a case that happened when Zhu Fu Jingguang was seven years old. His parents were killed by a foreign guard, and he escaped the murder by being hidden in a closet by his mother.
He was greatly stimulated when he was young and suffered from mild memory loss and aphasia, which lasted for a long time until he was adopted by relatives in Tokyo.
The murderer remained on the lam until he was caught two years ago.
As a child, Toru Amuro knew very well what Morofushi Kagemitsu went through after coming to Tokyo. Although the relatives who adopted him were all good people, they were not as good as his biological parents.
He obviously acted like he was honest and repentant at the time, but now he has escaped from prison...
Toru Amuro gritted his teeth secretly. He was no longer the pure and passionate police academy student he was back then. If the outer guard appeared in front of him at this moment, he would send him to hell without hesitation.
This guy is not only Zhu Fu Jingguang’s murderer, but he also saw them in police school uniforms at the time. If they met him...
The car radio was still playing the jailbreak news, and the reporter's clear voice was describing the tragedy that happened in Nagano Prefecture bit by bit.
To outsiders, this is just an unrelated case, but here is someone who has witnessed it. Every word from the reporter is like rubbing salt into his wounds.
He couldn't show any strange emotions, or even change the channel, because Angstra, who was sitting behind them, showed an interested expression. If he insisted on changing the channel, it might arouse the other party's suspicion and more attention.
.
"The defense of Tokyo Prison is so fragile?"
Angstra didn't pay attention to the case, but was curious about how this person could escape.
The last names of the murdered couple were not mentioned in the news, and Angstra's focus was not on the case. Toru Amuro breathed a sigh of relief, drove the Mazda around a corner at the intersection, and stopped in front of a supermarket.
"I'm going to buy a drink. Do you want to buy some drinks too?"
No matter how much he was suffering inside, Toru Amuro still showed the same smile as usual on the outside.
Angstra glanced at him, her eyes a little strange, but she still agreed: "Okay, it just so happens that the Coke is almost gone."
"Then let's go together." Toru Amuro turned to look at Zhufu Jingguang, who was silent beside him, and suppressed the thought of comforting him, "Just stay here and wait for us to come back."
"……Um."
Zhu Fu Jingguang knew that he took Angostela away deliberately to leave some space for him to vent his emotions, so he nodded slowly.
Toru Amuro took Angstra into the supermarket, pushed a shopping cart at the entrance, and they walked to the beverage area together.
"Besides Coke, do you want to buy some other drinks?" Toru Amuro stopped in front of a shelf full of wine.
"Get another carton of milk. I remember that the milk is almost finished." Angstra looked at the shelves in front of her and stretched out her hand towards one of the layers. "I remember that Midorikawa likes to drink bourbon and Scotch."
Seeing Angstra take the initiative to mention wine, Toru Amuro followed his words: "What kind of wine do you like?"
"I don't drink."
Angstra took a bottle of Scotch whiskey and put it in the shopping cart, and then took a bottle of bourbon. Although they were obviously different types of whiskey, they were placed very close to each other.
"The minors in the organization are non-smokers." He added, "Gin will be careful not to smoke when he is around me."
Toru Amuro remembered the last time he saw Gin in Cupido Town. He had always seen him smoking before, but that time he rarely smoked. Was it because Angstra did not smoke second-hand smoke?
He didn't know what to say. He was obviously a criminal organization, but he actually paid attention to these details...
"Then you haven't even tasted your own code wine?"
Toru Amuro changed the topic back, and with sharp eyes he noticed that there was Angostura bitters in a corner, which was the code name of the junior boss in front of him.
"No." Angostela's eyes were calm, "That is bitter wine used for flavoring. It is difficult to drink it directly."
"..."
Indeed, before Amuro Tohru took over the task, he and Zhu Fu Jingguang had gained a lot of knowledge about various wines and had tasted many of them.
Angostura bitters comes from Venezuela and looks like a potion bottle. Because of its high concentration, it is rarely drunk directly. Even for making cocktails, a few drops are enough, so it does not require a large capacity.
"But it can be mixed with whiskey, and it won't be so bitter when mixed together."
Toru Amuro picked up a bottle of Angostura bitters from there. The small bottle could be completely held in his hand.
He put it in the shopping cart next to the bourbon: "For example, it can be mixed with bourbon to make a classic cocktail."
Angstra listened quietly without any change in his expression. He seemed to have thought of something else important.
"Amuro." He interrupted, "With your ability, it has only been two years since you got the code name. You'd better not mention bartending in front of others...especially Gin or my guardian members.
.”
"Is there something wrong with bartending?" Toru Amuro asked curiously.
"It's okay for vodka, but for some members..." Angstra did not continue, "To avoid misunderstandings, don't just talk about bartending."
Angstra, who always speaks her mind, actually became the Riddler. Toru Amuro felt that bartending might have another meaning in the organization.
Is it some code word? It seems like we need to find a chance to investigate.
While Toru Amuro was thinking, Angstra put a few more bottles of wine into the shopping cart, ranging from whiskey to wine.
"Why did you take so much? I can't drink it by myself." Toru Amuro noticed his behavior.
"This is for you and Midorikawa to drink."
Angstra looked at him and dropped a bomb in a calm tone.
"He just heard the news about the murderer, and his mood was a bit wrong. I saw his expression through the rearview mirror in the car, and his pupils shrank for a moment... You probably didn't notice this, and you left him alone
One person was thrown there."
"..."
Because he was caught off guard when he heard that his enemy had escaped from prison, Zhu Fu Jingguang was distracted for a second... It was just such a short moment, and it was all captured by Angstra sitting behind?
Will he start paying attention to this case? Will he find out the Zhufu couple? The identity of Fa Xiao...
Angstra didn't notice that Toru Amuro's hand on the shopping cart tightened, and continued to say:
"You are afraid of the police and dead people, and he is afraid of murderers. Both of them are so timid, like delicate flowers... This can't go on like this. You really should practice your courage. I can't always protect you."
