Chapter38

"Yo, Jiu Ji, it feels like I haven't seen you for a long time." Yong Jin grinned, his smile was as bright and brilliant as the color of his hair.

Jiuji couldn't divert his attention away from the girl, because her gaze was so hot that Yongjin noticed her when he walked over.He glanced at her strangely, and found that it was someone he didn't know. After sitting down, he asked Jiuji in a low voice, "That's your friend?"

"She is looking at you, why is she my friend." Jiuji was speechless. "I don't know, don't you know?"

"I've never seen it before. Ah, could it be... love at first sight?" Yong Jin was stunned immediately. "As expected of me, it's just so attractive."

Jiu Ji raised his eyebrows, "Where did you get the confidence to say that you are attractive in front of me."

Yongjin said seriously: "It's just because she sees me, not you."

"..."

Yongjin ordered coffee, "So, what can I do for you? I can lend you the notes when I'm absent from class, but I can't help with the thesis. I plan to type a hundred periods and hand it in for nothing."

Jiu Ji didn't speak, but after the lady who ordered the order left, he said lightly: "Aren't you going to ask me about Kaneki?"

"..."

Jiu Ji picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, and lowered his eyes not to look at Yong Jin's expression. "Yingliang, I don't want to use all kinds of opening words of social habits on you, let me just say it, you have fallen off the horse, don't pretend."

"Kusi, I'm not Kamen Rider." Yongjin tried to die. "What fell off the horse..."

Jiuji fumbled in the pocket of the windbreaker, and took out a transparent evidence bag, in which was a letter transmitter that was scattered and broken, and its original shape could hardly be seen.

Forever pupil constriction.

"I found this in the bronze tree stronghold in District 11." Jiuji said calmly: "Yingliang, do you know? This is a product of a new drug." He shook the evidence bag and picked out the debris. He took out an inconspicuous green chip, pushed it in front of Yongjin, and tapped an inconspicuous position on it, and Yongjin followed his finger to look, and soon saw a very small medicine character , followed by a string of numbers.

Cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

After all, the new drug is an electronic technology company that Japan is proud of. It has provided great help to the Japanese public security and even the national military. As far as the eye can see, there are gray products such as transmitters, listening devices or pinhole cameras that are produced and sold.But it is illegal after all, so it is natural to sell it in a low-key manner.But in order not to be framed by hostile companies, the factory will strictly mark each product.

"Y-220 type transmitter with wiretapping/listening function, serial number 220-39-02, purchased through the official retail platform of New Pharmaceutical Group a week ago." Jiuji rummaged through his bag again and took out several paper copies The version of the report was placed on the table. "This is the order information, the delivery address and the person. You are very clever to fill in the school and keep it anonymous. The OrigamiPay account for payment also uses a one-time mobile phone registration. But what's the use? The laboratory found fingerprints on it. All previous efforts have been wasted. , Yingliang."

Kuji didn't continue talking, but quietly finished the rest of the coffee.

Yong Jin didn't speak any more, just drinking coffee silently like him.

"Refill?"

"Ah."

Jiu Ji called the waiter for a refill.

The ethereal heat steamed upwards, blurring the face of the blond youth, and Jiuji heard him drag out his voice: "Ah, really, since it's all broken, why do you pick it up again? That's what you said about wasting all your previous efforts." Alright."

After opening the skylight and speaking frankly, the progress of the conversation took a qualitative leap.

As Kuji guessed, Yong Jin did not lose consciousness directly when he was attacked by Nishio Nishiki.At that time, Kaneki was not only exposed by Nishio, but also exposed Kazuko in order to save him, so Kaneki and even the entire Anding area have been lost since then.It's just that he still pretended not to know anything, and at the same time began to pay attention to the ghouls around Kaneki.

He always liked to imitate detectives, and he even went to the scene of ghouls' crimes during school trips. This interest did not change until college, but this time he accidentally met Jason, a gecko whose target was the stable area, and he looked for opportunities to share the discovery. The letter was placed on the sole of the gecko shoe.After the gecko captured Jinmu and the coordinates were fixed and no longer moved, he immediately anonymously reported the information on the Bronze Tree stronghold to CCG.

For a moment, Jiu Ji didn't know what to say.

Although he already knew that he put the transmitter on the gecko, but when Zhendang Yongjin said that he secretly put the transmitter on the sole of the gecko's shoe, he almost knocked over the cup. "You are too brave! Have you ever thought that if you are not careful, you will fold in first?"

Yongjin put his hands on the back of his head and smiled brightly: "It's okay, I changed into the clothes of a ghoul's corpse, he thought I was of the same kind."

"Be serious! Ghouls don't harm their own kind, but to ordinary ghouls, you don't know who a gecko is, don't you?!"

——The transmitter of the Y220 type is equipped with a wiretapping/listening function.

Not only did he know that the ghoul group was called the Bronze Tree, but he also heard all the things the gecko did to Kaneki, and what happened after Kyuki rushed over, until Kyuki kicked the gekko into the wall and his shoes flew out , the sender is damaged.

So Kyuki also fell off the horse.

At the beginning, he guessed that this was done by Yongjin, but when Suyagawa handed him the report from the new medicine, and he actually saw Yongjin Yingliang's name on it, he still felt his brain was twitched. □Boom, brain cells are everywhere.Thinking about what would happen to him if Yongyuan was exposed, his fingertips felt cold and his stomach twitched.

"You and Jinmu really deserve to have played together since we were young, it's not worrying at all!"

Yongjin still had a bright smile on his face, "But I'm fine now! That's fine, don't worry, don't worry."

Jiuji didn't catch his breath, the breath rolled twice in his chest, so blocked that he almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.After a long time, he said weakly and gritted his teeth: "I can screw your head off, you know I can."

"I'm so scared." Yong Jin made a Xizi holding his heart, but he didn't mean to be afraid at all.

When the refill came, Jiuji drank half of it in one go before calming down.

"Does Kaneki know about this?" Yongjin stirred the coffee with a spoon, seemingly casually asking.

Jiuji shook his head: "I haven't told him the details yet."

"Then don't talk about it. He always thinks too much." Yong Jin said lightly.Just as Jiu Ji wanted to say why, he smiled and asked, "By the way, are you two together?"

Jiuji choked on the coffee, and two red clouds floated on his face. "Don't tell me you smell it too."

"This is my intuition for my friend." Yongjin pretended to point to his head, "I have already seen that the two of you are having an affair. That guy Jinmu is counting on you."

"Are you his father?" Jiuji raised his forehead. "Don't change the subject. Yingliang, I didn't come here today to check your guesses, nor did I come to discuss with you. Neither Kaneki nor I want to involve you. You have to quit."

The smile on Yongjin's face faded a bit, but the corners of his mouth were still raised, and those clean brown pupils made Jiuji feel like he was facing the store manager. "What if I don't?"

Jiuji's face turned cold, and he said forcefully: "No, no. As I said, I didn't come to discuss with you."

Yong Jin put down his coffee cup, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared. "Jiuji, in what capacity did you tell me this?"

"What, what?" Jiuji was startled.

"Yakushijijiuji, you are not my parents, and you have no right to order me to do anything. If you still treat me as a friend, this matter will come to an end."

"What?" Jiuji widened his eyes, narrowed them again after a few seconds, and said with an ugly face, "Have you figured out the situation?"

"It's you who didn't understand the situation, and Kaneki!" Yongjin clenched his trouser legs with his hands under the table, and he said excitedly, "He never told me about such a big thing! After I came back from that ghost place, not only did I skip class until now, but I haven’t contacted me at all! I disappeared when I said I was missing, and you not only concealed me with him, but now you want me to quit? Do you really regard me as a friend? Friend Isn't it difficult to be equal?"

"Husbands and wives are still in trouble and fly separately! It is because you are an important friend of mine and Kaneki that we don't want you to get involved! Can you be the same as Kaneki who has been like that and me who has been here since childhood?"

"Tell me what's different!"

"Yingliang, just like I can find you through wiretapping fragments, do you think you can't find you if you call CCG anonymously?" Jiuji's voice became deeper and deeper: "When you reported What, there is a Bronze Tree stronghold in District 11? Where did you know the name Bronze Tree? CCG has never announced it to ordinary citizens, how would ordinary people know? Do you think CCG is stupid?"

Yongjin's body became visibly stiff.At that time, he had no time to think about other issues because of Jinmu.Moreover, he had done a lot of anonymous reporting before, so he was negligent for a while.

"What are you going to say then? A college student whose hobby is stalking ghouls? If CCG can believe it, I can laugh for a year. Moreover, if one day Kana Akihiro's surgery is exposed, Kaneki's identity will be suspicious , once they track it down, how will you explain that you are his friend and college classmate? When the time comes, your purpose of joining CCG will become ambiguous! If it is me, it is okay to say, I have the backing of the Yakushiji chaebol behind me If CCG wants to move me, it must first bring down the entire chaebol, not to mention the thriving new drug group, just the chaebol's century-old background can make the bureau helpless."

Sorry, being rich is being able to do whatever you want.

"Of course, they may not be able to move me yet. Before finding the hard evidence that I harbored ghouls, if they dare to step into my yard without permission, I can peel them off three layers of skin in court. Japan is doing this well. , private ownership of land.”

"Yingliang, what I mean is that if Jinmu's identity is exposed one day, you and I will be suspected of harboring and collaborating with the enemy. I have a family to clean up, so you can't do it."

"I'm not afraid." Yongjin looked at him firmly, and said firmly: "If it's for Jinmu. We are friends, and I don't want to do nothing when my friend suffers."

Jiu Ji pressed the center of his eyebrows, he was always so stubborn that his nerves hurt.He seems to understand a little bit how his brother feels every time he gets up.

He took a sip of coffee to calm himself down, raised his hand and stretched out two fingers. "There is a second difference. Yingliang, Kaneki and I both have the power to protect ourselves, but you are an ordinary person. This time is your luck. Next time you encounter danger, what do you want to do? Fight 110? Believe me, 110 comes faster than CCG, and when they arrive, there are usually only gnawed corpses left."

Jiuji never concealed his dislike for CCG, and CCG Wannianhei did not explain.

"This..." Yongjin looked down at the coffee in front of him, the calm brown liquid reflected his frowning. "Actually, I have thought about it... Isn't CCG openly recruiting bureau assistants every year? I—"

"Don't even think about it!!!" Before he finished speaking, Jiu Ji slapped the table and jumped up. The table was not broken, but the two coffee cups were knocked down.Even though they were in the most inconspicuous corner, this movement still attracted the attention of others.

Jiu Ji didn't want to sit down, but took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

Mr. Gu Jian came over with a towel and tidied it up.

"Yingliang, don't tell me that you don't know how high the death rate of CCG is and how much it attracts hatred! On the contrary, you should know it better than anyone else!! Not to mention that you are an orphan!!"

The fingers that were always placed on the knees twitched, and the pupils also dilated in an instant, and the pupils contracted violently.

"..." It's not surprising, he must have investigated himself.

However, Yongjin didn't feel offended, just a little guilty.

Yes, what qualifications does he have to say that Kaneki and Jiuji are hiding from him?Didn't he himself have something to hide from them?

Because Yongjin's interest in ghouls and the intuition and actions of discovering and investigating geckos are really not like those of an ordinary college student. Jiuji asked someone to investigate Yongjin's family while verifying the purchaser of the bug/listening device. Then it was discovered that Yingliang was not the child of the Yongjin couple. His biological father was a ghoul investigator who died in the line of duty when Yingliang was still in elementary school. After that, he lived in a nursing institution related to CCG for a period of time. time until being adopted by the Yongjin couple.

Unlike ordinary searcher orphans, he did not blindly hate ghouls, but had his own goals and directions. Although Jiuji didn't know what he wanted to do, it was destined to be dangerous.Jiu Ji must not watch him repeat the mistakes of his biological father.

"Persimmons are soft, some ghouls won't provoke investigators who have boxes, but they are as merciless to newcomers and investigator assistants who can't get a good Quinker, especially like you, good Killing, it looks delicious. And, believe me, you don't want to experience how you will be treated after letting the ghouls know what kind of identity you have."

"I will pay attention! I can seal the file, and I won't go to the front line... Besides, I can get a lot of news if I join the CCG—"

"No! OK!" Jiuji interrupted him again, he propped his hands on the table, leaned forward and put his face close to Yongjin, let him look into his eyes, hoping that he could understand that this alone is absolutely not enough. "Yingliang, some things are inconvenient to say, but CCG is not as glamorous or heroic as it looks on the outside. Joining CCG will not protect yourself, and it will push you into another fire pit. I'm not joking with you, Yong Jinying Liang, if you dare to go to the interview, I will beat you as disabled first, I don’t lack the money to support you, I would rather be hated by you for the rest of my life.”

"Jiuji..." This is the first time Yongjin saw Jiuji like this. His blue eyes are as thick as the sea water in the dark night, bottomless, and the sharp pupils are extremely aggressive, as if at any time. A cheetah that pounces on its prey and bites its throat.He knew right away that he might continue to secretly care about Kaneki, but he really couldn't get involved in CCG, otherwise Jiuji would definitely break his leg and make him fail even the most basic physical examination.

"I see……"

"If you want to get news from CCG, you don't need to go 'undercover'." Jiuji eased his face, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. "There is a third difference, Yingliang, I really don't want to be so harsh, but I must inoculate you in advance."

"My mother used to be an investigator, but after she resigned for many years, she still meets ghouls who come to take revenge on her from time to time, and even try to take revenge on her by hurting me. This is not a movie, even real-life villains use it It's very smooth." Jiuji sat back on the chair and lowered his voice. "Yingliang, my brothers are far away in Kyoto. Moreover, they may be in the United States yesterday, and they will go to Africa the day after tomorrow. Their itinerary is unpredictable even for them. It takes time and energy to deal with them, and they are business predators. , It’s definitely a hornet’s nest, poke it, and investigators from all over Japan can gather here. Needless to say, Kaneki, his parents are not alive, but you, you still have... parents and sister.” He paused, still The word adoptive parent was not said.Unlike Jin Mu's blood-related relative who has lost all conscience, Yong Jin and his wife are very good people, and I believe Ying Liang has long since stopped treating them as adoptive parents.

Hearing what Jiuji said, Yongjin was shocked, as if he had imagined some bad consequences, his pupils constricted suddenly.

"You can go through fire and water for Jinmu, even if they can apply for the family protection of the investigator, have you ever thought about how they would feel if something happened to you?"

This time, there is almost no reason to refute.He was adopted by the current family through the relevant system when he was in elementary school, and he knows better than anyone how he has lived in this family these years.

He lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long, long time, all the customers in the store left and another group came again. It was so long that Jiuji finished drinking another cup of coffee before he sighed and showed a helpless expression. "Kuji, you think about everything so much, won't you be tired?"

"Do you think I treat everyone like this?" Jiuji said angrily.I thought that Jin Mu would be worry-free enough, but it turned out that this person was even more worry-free than him.

Yongjin propped his chin with one hand, looked at him with a smile, and said leisurely: "I, I found out that Kaneki seems to like you before, well, although I can accept it, I still don't quite understand it, but now... …That Kaneki guy likes you is really well-founded, not surprising at all. Ah, no, I have to be firm, I am straight, straighter than a steel bar."

Jiu Ji got goose bumps all over his body, he rubbed his arms, looked Yong Jin up and down, and said pretending to be disgusted: "Even if there is no Kaneki, you are not my type."

"What type do you like?"

"The type of Jinmu."

Yongjin was stuffed with dog food and swallowed with difficulty. "Let me tell you, when I first found out that Jinmu liked you, I actually thought it was impossible for him. In all fairness, he is really boring and sullen. And you seem to like the type of sex."

"Kaneki lives in his heart."

Forever laughing.

"I thought you'd feel somewhat uncomfortable," Jiuji said.Leaving aside the issue of sexual orientation, but generally speaking, three good friends, two of them got into bed...

"How could it be?" Yong Jin shrugged his shoulders, with his signature bright smile on his face. "It's good that you two are happy, and I don't have to worry about you meeting bad women in the future, how nice it is."

"Instead we are worried about whether you will meet a bad woman. Kaneki and I don't have a problem with who you look for, at least it must be a human being." Jiuji sighed and couldn't help saying: "I will have a girlfriend in the future. Be sure to bring it to me.”

Thinking of the lovely sister Dong Xiang in the coffee shop, the pretty sister Irumi and the little loli Hina who often appear here, how beautiful and gentle, they are all ghouls in the end...Yongjin nodded fiercely. "It must be. Hey, it's good to have you."

"Have you ever had a word with Jinmu..."

Yongjin spread his hands, smiled and said: "Then, the almighty Jiu Ji-kun, you should also consider it? What should I do."

Kuki nodded. "Two options, one, leave Tokyo, and two, go abroad directly."

"Isn't this all moving away..."

"Then what to do!" Jiu Ji became even more angry. "It's all your fault for that phone call."

Yong Jin lowered his head, stroking the handle of the porcelain cup with his fingers, "Can I just leave..."

"For you, but also for your parents." Jiuji said: "Leave here, and come back when everything settles down, or CCG forgets about you."

"What should I say to my parents?"

"Transfer. Your father is a programmer, right? I will ask someone to go to his current company to put pressure on him to fire him, and then let Xinyao hire him to work in a branch company elsewhere." Xinyao is definitely looking for jobs in IT and other related industries. The first choice, high salary, good environment, first-class benefits, and talk about it.

Always nodded happily.

To be honest, he wanted to go through the back door a long time ago. His adoptive father is an honest and honest man who has enough talent but doesn't know how to "compete for favor". He habitually yields to young people in everything, so until now, he has The current company is also a small programmer.But Yongjin thought about it, even though he knew that Jiuji would definitely agree, he still couldn't say it.Presumably even if he made an agreement here, he would be ashamed to reject it when he went back to let his father know.

The new drug has its own set of welfare operation rules for employees working in different places, and this time it was proposed by Jiu Ji. You never need to ask him to know that he will definitely take out a black box, and take out enough to make the mother and sister willing to pack it with their father. Go with the contract.

Sure enough, as soon as Yongjin thought of this, Jiuji said with great wealth: "In the past, I will apply for an independent apartment for you in the local area, and this will be included in the contract at that time. Air tickets, visas, etc., I will also use the company I've dealt with the names for you, don't worry."

"Then I will accept it bluntly." Yongjin laughed. "At the beginning, I envied that Jin Mu didn't have to deal with anything when he was hospitalized, but I didn't expect that I could enjoy it too. I felt like hugging a thick thigh."

"After all, I was the one who drove you away against your will, and that's what I should do." Jiuji shook his head. "Sorry, Yingliang."

Whether it is Kaneki or Yongjin, since high school until now, there has never been a situation where Kyuki has been invited to treat guests, even though Yongjin often teases him and Kaneki for hugging the thigh of the Yakushiji chaebol that countless people are eager to see.As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly, their friendship is not based on money.

"Don't say that, I know you also want to protect me." Yongjin laughed in relief.He leaned back in the chair, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, his eyes were a little blurred, and he muttered, "But I'm still a bit unwilling, that guy Kaneki really plans to tell me nothing... Hey, Jiuji , I promise you that I will go abroad and stop meddling in these matters, but I also have requirements."

"You said."

In the end, they made an agreement in three chapters.

Yongjin promised that he would take his family abroad to avoid the limelight, and would not intervene in any ghoul-related matters until Tokyo stabilized.And Jiuji can't tell Kaneki what Yongjin knows, and at the same time, he must regularly report Kaneki's current situation, and...

"I want to see him once."

"make a deal."

Never ask Jiu Ji how to bring Jin Mu out to meet him, what he promised will definitely be done.

"Then it's settled. I'll discuss the rest with my family when I go back. Oh, by the way, can we go to the United States?" When his biological father was still alive, he had heard him say more than once that there was something going on in the United States. In those few years, a peace agreement was actually signed, and the ghouls have been making good friends with humans so far.He wanted to go there to "visit and study".

"The American branch of New Pharmaceutical Group is located in Silicon Valley. The universities there are quite famous, and you can transfer there if you want to transfer. Stanford, Santa Clara, Carnegie Mellon and the University of California..."

Yongjin grinned, "None of them feel like I can pass the exam."

Jiuji waved his hand and encouraged him: "I thought I couldn't get into Shangjing at the beginning, but now I'm still in. Your grades are also good now. If you work hard, you can do it."

"Well, yes. As long as I work hard, there is nothing I can't mess up." Yong Jin said seriously.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Both couldn't help laughing.Smiling and laughing, Yong Jin's eye sockets were already red, and a layer of mist covered his clear eyes.He lowered his head in embarrassment and rubbed his eyes, trying not to let himself cry.

"Jiuji... Anyway, you came here together in high school. Apart from me, you know Kaneki best in this world." He was a little choked up, looked up at Jiuji earnestly, and said earnestly: "There is nothing wrong with that guy. There are many, but they are very difficult to deal with. If you feel sad, you won’t say anything. If you want to take care of everything, you will stick to doing what you think is good. It's really happy to be with you... To him, you are me, an existence that even his parents can't replace. So..."

"Jiuji, as a friend, I may be overstepping when I say this, but please, even if one day you don't like him, don't let him go."

TBC

The author has something to say:

Jiuji: Afterwards, it proved that no matter how tight I was, he was going to make himself into the world with amnesia.

A big knife warning in the future.

There is still a chapter to meet and confess with Jin Mu, and then Ying is temporarily offline.

There is no animation death, no manga disfigurement, and a person as good as Yongchang must be safe and happy.

PS: Setting bugs/hearing devices and reporting the Bronze Tree Stronghold originated from the plot of the comics, and the anime was deleted. CCG also found that the wording of Ying's report on Bronze Tree was wrong, and took this as an opportunity to recruit him into CCG.The setting that Ying's biological father is the investigator comes from the last chapter of the manga.Adopting Ying’s permanent parents and younger sister here is my private setting
