Chapter 167 Don't run away, that thief who stole flowers
At night, Toru Amuro, who had just finished having dinner with someone, was driving in a car wearing a white chef's uniform.
The last shokuji battle that Kaa talked about...
Unbelievable!/sigh.
Sitting in the co-pilot was Mu Midorikawa, who was wearing a casual suit.
Shuji Tsushima sat in the back seat, looking out the window with vacant eyes.
"It's raining..." He stretched out his hand and pressed it against the car window.
Watching the rain falling continuously from the glass.
His eyes suddenly focused and stared in one direction.
"Stop the car." He called Toru Amuro.
"What...?" Toru Amuro sounded confused, but still stopped the car.
"I want to go see the flowers." Tsushima Shuji opened the car door and got out of the car.
The wind blew his hair, revealing his covered cheeks.
"Bourbon and Scotland, let's go first." He stood in the rain with a hollow tone.
Then he turned and walked to the other side.
"This willful brat..."
"What do you want to do again!"
Where can I go to see flowers when it rains so heavily? What’s so good to see at night!
Toru Amuro gripped the steering wheel tightly and complained angrily in his heart.
"It's not safe at night, so let's keep up." Scotland looked at the boy's retreating figure and also got out of the car.
"I'll leave the car to you, Ling." He hurriedly caught up with his umbrella.
"Hey - Jingguang..." Toru Amuro was sitting alone in the driver's seat, looking at the empty car, and suddenly slumped in his seat.
When you say it's not very safe, are you talking about Kaa... or the people who meet Kaa...
"What a willful little devil."
…
When Scotland held an umbrella and caught up with Shuji Tsushima, the other man's hair was already wet from the rain, and the rain dripped down his hair and cheeks.
Shuji Tsushima didn't care, as if he couldn't feel it, and the expression on his face could be called joy.
"Scotland, look." He pointed to a branch of white plum sticking out from above the wall.
The kite-colored eyes reflected the moonlight and seemed to glow.
"It's beautiful." He said in admiration as he stood under the wall, looking up at the tall white plum tree.
Small drops of rainwater drifted into his eyes, but he stood there motionless without blinking.
"They are indeed very beautiful plum blossoms." Scotland stood behind him holding an umbrella and said.
He looked at the young man in front of him without looking back, and once again lost his recognition of him.
[I was holding an umbrella for him, but it felt like he was still getting wet]
The Kaa who willfully asked Zero and others to eat their halberds, the Kaa who committed suicide at every turn, and the Kaa who played pranks on others.
Tsujima Shuji who told others that sleeping would give him nightmares, Tsujima Shuji who still couldn't face certain things...
And the calm young man in front of me.
Which one is his true face?
"You can take it back if you like it." Toru Amuro walked from behind them holding an umbrella.
Really, it’s raining so heavily that we suddenly had to stop the car, so we ended up just looking at the flowers in the rain.
There might be something wrong with Kaa, the little brat.
Wait, Kaa is really sick.
Well...normal people don't commit suicide every day.
When is Kao's next appointment with a psychiatrist...
"Take it." He thrust the umbrella into Tsushima Shuji's hand.
He looked around, took a few steps back, and used his strength to climb up the wall.
Standing on the wall, I stretched out my hand and prepared to break off the branch of white plum.
"Who is it?!!!" The sound of something falling to the ground came from the yard.
"Someone climbed over the wall to steal something!!!" followed by people's screams.
Noisy voices suddenly came from the dark courtyard, and the lights were brightly lit for an instant.
On the wall, Toru Amuro jumped down without saying a word.
"Run." He urged Scotland and Shuji Tsushima.
Then he ran out at the lead.
Shuji Tsushima:……
I just want to look at the flowers quietly.
Why is this happening...
Run, Tsushima-kun?
Scotland folded up his umbrella and pulled Tsushima Shuji to run in the rain.
Until he ran to the car, stuffed Shuji Tsushima into the back seat of the car, and got into the passenger seat. Toru Amuro stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
Shuji Tsushima, whose face was numb, stretched out his hand and wiped his face.
It's all rain.
Shuji Tsushima:...I feel numb.
Why did things become like this?
"Okay." Toru Amuro stretched out his hand behind him without looking back.
In the hand is a piece of white plum that is still wet with rain.
"Hey..." Tsushima Shuji stretched out his hand and took the white plum.
"So, I hate troublesome brats the most." Toru Amuro wiped a handful of wet hair and spoke in a bad tone.
He is crazy to pick flowers for someone in the rain.
Or just pick flowers from other people's yards by climbing over the wall.
In the end, he was discovered and had to run away in the rain.
If not for going back early...
If Kaa is not a member of the organization.
Bourbon: Sneer.
"Don't always cause trouble for me, Kaa." Toru Amuro touched his face with one hand and turned the steering wheel with the other.
"Kaa looks very happy." Scotland shook his head.
Even though you said so, Zero, you still picked it for Kaa, didn't you?
Toru Amuro: But I’m not happy!
I just want to finish it quickly and go back.
"Poirot is closed recently. Why are you anxious about Bourbon?" Shuji Tsushima said quietly from the side.
"I'm ready to change my job." Toru Amuro said expressionlessly.
The family of Kogoro Mori is upstairs. I really can't do this job anymore.
"..."
"In that case, let's expand the business scope of the office." Shuji Tsushima sighed and said helplessly.
"From now on, the business of finding people, cats and dogs will be left to you and Scotland." He decided on his own.
"come on."
Bourbon:…
I endure...calm down, be calm.
"Poirot was blown up by Gin." Shuji Tsushima mentioned casually.
"..." I couldn't help it anymore.
The car stopped suddenly below the apartment building.
"We're here." Toru Amuro smiled with murderous intent.
At the same time, the family whose flowers were stolen.
Security guards were everywhere checking suspicious persons.
But found nothing.
"strangeness……"
"I didn't find anything missing..." someone said in confusion.
"Except that the plum tree against the wall is missing a branch, nothing is missing." Humanity said after careful inspection.
"So... that's a flower thief...?" Someone said hesitantly.
"...You must be sick! On rainy days and late at night, you climb up the wall just to steal flowers!!" the host cursed.
Toru Amuro: Aki——
…
Shuji Tsushima rushed into the apartment, first found a vase that had never been used before, replaced it with water and nutrient solution, and solemnly inserted the plum branches into it.
"Do you like plum blossoms so much..." Scotland's tone was gentle and helpless.
"No, I remember that Kaa liked peach blossoms." Bourbon touched his chin in thought.
Scotland:……
"As the housekeeper Tanaka ordered before, didn't you notice that the flowers in this apartment are all peach blossoms?" Toru Amuro said calmly.
Thinking of the old gentleman's comprehensive instructions, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Tanaka...he never told me this." Scotland said thoughtfully.
Bourbon:?
So did you only tell yourself?
"No wonder you always change the flowers in the vase to peach blossoms." Scotland suddenly realized.
Bourbon:...Haha.
Because the housekeeper Tanaka would send fresh peach blossoms early in the morning every day for him to put on.
