No one thought that Hagiwara Kenji would die like that.
A few months after graduating from the police academy, at the age of only 22, he died in the vicious revenge of the criminal.
At that time, Zhufu Jingguang and Jiang Guling had been sent for training. No communication equipment could be carried in such a confidential location. Seeing that this case threatened the police and killed a policeman, the instructor mentioned it to them.
After reading the newspaper, I learned that the deceased was Kenji Hagiwara.
Photos of deceased policemen were published in newspapers. The brightly colored graduation photos a few months ago turned into irreversible black and white in the blink of an eye.
Hagihara Kenji, who faced the explosion without wearing protective clothing, had no body left. There was only a police uniform under his tombstone. The instructor learned that the deceased was their former friend and let them go to attend the funeral.
The two heard about the progress of the case from Jinpei Matsuda and Ko Date, and learned that there were at least two gangsters responsible for the explosion. One of them accidentally got into a car accident while escaping, and the other activated the bomb again to vent his anger.
——The murderer who activated the bomb and actually killed Kenji Hagihara has not been arrested so far.
Because the police don't even know what he looks like and can't even issue a wanted warrant, they can only let him get away with it...or continue to commit crimes.
Zhu Fu Jingguang and Jiang Gu Ling were angry, but due to their status and mission, they could not pursue the murderer personally.
They could only keep this incident in their hearts and have not forgotten it to this day.
...But now, Zhu Fu Jingguang, who had abandoned his past identity and sneaked into a criminal organization, was looking through the photo album of an organization member and happened to see the photo of the dead prisoner appearing in it.
"..."
Zhu Fu Jingguang's fingers were tightly clasped on the photo album. Although he was in a warm room, his back felt as cold as if he had been thrown into the snow.
Is this a coincidence?
Or should I say, this is a test, his identity has been...
The sudden murder of his senior's son made Zhu Fu Jingguang nervous, and he subconsciously assumed the worst case scenario.
Here he was thinking wildly, and on the other side Angstra was defending Gin.
"...Gin is not as evil as you said. After I returned to Japan, he was very good to me. He gave me three of his subordinates, including Scotland." Angstra paused and said, "They
They are all beautiful.”
"What?!!"
Apello turned his head sharply and looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang at a speed that almost broke his neck, his pupils were shaking: "I always thought that the aesthetics of gin were distorted, and I could only like vodka and tequila!"
"Don't say that about Vodka, he works very seriously - people who work hard and have money in their pockets are also beautiful."
"Huh? Angstra, I understand you very well. You just think the money in his pocket is beautiful, right?"
"No……"
Zhu Fu Jingguang was silent. He listened to the two people next to him discussing "Is vodka beautiful?". His sad mood was swept away. He suddenly felt that he was worried that these two handsome men were setting a trap for him. It was just because he thought too much.
Already...
He looked at the photo again, sighed, closed the album, and put it back on the bookshelf.
He shouldn't grieve over the past easily, now it's the organization's mission that matters.
Moreover, he unexpectedly learned about the school and graduation date of Apero, and could find out his real name and past experience after returning. This was a moderate gain.
Apello raised his hand to straighten his long hair that was spread over his shoulders. He took a few deep breaths to calm down and decided to give up discussing this topic with Angostela.
"Are you going to stay here for one night, or go to a hotel in the village?"
"I want to go to the snow festival in the village. I read the introduction online before coming here. It is said that there are many delicious snack stalls..."
Although he would do his tasks seriously, Angostela, who also cared about having fun, had a face full of yearning. He turned to look at Zhufu Jingguang.
"Scotland, what do you think?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled: "I will listen to you."
"You still like food as before... Since you decide that, then I will go there and stay for one night."
Apello took another book, opened it, his expression changed, and he opened it to the two of them.
"——I found it, this is it."
The paper pages are very old, covered with a gorgeous book cover, and two neatly cut report pages are pasted on them.
[Jewelry store robbery and murder case: The owner was killed, and the amount of robbery was as high as 1 billion yen]
[Beizhize Village Traffic Accident Escape Case]
The two cases happened one day apart, so they happened to be posted on the same page in the newspaper clippings collection.
"I didn't expect you to have a newspaper clipping book. I thought this was a hobby only for the elderly."
Angstra was a little surprised. He raised his hand and touched the newspaper posted on it.
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at this newspaper clipping book carefully. Some of the writing on it was blurred, and there were some round wrinkles on the side that had dried after being stained with water... It might be the person who made the newspaper clippings, who posted this while shedding tears.
reports.
"This newspaper clipping was made by my grandmother during her lifetime." Apello replied calmly.
Angstra was stunned and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for?" Apero looked calm, "The guy who really deserves an apology, I will personally send him down to apologize to his grandmother."
Zhu Fu Jingguang's expression didn't change at all. Apello's cousin had planted a bomb in the subway in the morning. Based on this alone, he had no sympathy for his death.
He carefully observed the man in the newspaper and memorized the appearance of the man who was about to die.
There is a big difference in appearance between these cousins. The man in the newspaper is named Yamao Keisuke. He has a plain appearance and rough features. Just looking at their appearance, it is impossible to imagine that they are related by blood.
"Now that we know what he looks like, let's set off to the village quickly. It will be dark by the end of the night."
Zhu Fu Jingguang withdrew his gaze and looked at Angostela, tentatively making suggestions.
He didn't know when Yamao Keisuke would return here. Apero said that he would most likely blow up the reservoir... Once he succeeded, the consequences would be disastrous, and he would have to help Angstra deal with him as soon as possible.
Angstra nodded and asked Apello: "Does he have any other acquaintances in the village who might defect to him?"
"There is one."
As Apello said, he took down the photo album that Zhu Fu Jingguang had just put back from the bookshelf, opened it and motioned for the two of them to take a look.
It was still the same graduation photo, and the appearance of the murderer who killed his contemporaries appeared in front of Zhu Fu Jingguang again.
"Rōji Nakata, my former classmate at Miwa University." Apero pointed at the face of the person next door to the murderer. "He is not an aborigine of Kitazawa Village. He came from Tokyo after the reservoir was established."
Moved there."
"When Keisuke came to the university to see me in the past, they met unexpectedly several times. We hit it off right away. Not only were they both shockingly ugly, but the way they wanted to make money was also shockingly vulgar."
"Is it a vulgar way to make money?" Angostela wondered.
"The two of them, plus another classmate of mine, planned to plant bombs in a high-end apartment building to blackmail others into taking money. It's a pity that my cousin went in early because he killed someone, so he didn't get involved, and the other two
One of them did that... but one of them died, and Nakata is still alive, having fled here to escape police pursuit."
Apello snorted and closed the photo album.
Neither he nor Angstra noticed the change in the eyes of Zhu Fu Jingguang on the side.
"My cousin knows nothing about bombs. His ability to install and use the bombs I left behind is probably due to this good classmate of mine."
"If Nakata is really involved, he is also a target that needs to be cleaned up in this mission."
