Only Zhaoqiao was left for lunch.

It's not that Mr. Atobe is stingy, it's just that he has an appointment with his sister today—not to mention, he is not someone who can't read air.

As a person who has an older sister and a younger brother, being good at observing words and demeanor has always been an advantage that he cannot ignore.

"I'm very interested in the charity you mentioned earlier, and I happen to have some small businesses on hand that I can invest in."

There was still some time before lunch, and the two sat in the back garden of the Atobe Villa, which was full of roses. Even though the flowering season had passed, the garden was still colorful.The gardener who was taking good care of the flowers had quietly left, leaving this place to the young master and his friends.

"However, what I'm curious about is, why do you suddenly want to do this?"

Although they haven't seen each other for several years, the two still keep in touch by phone.Now that communication is advanced, as long as you have the heart, no matter how far you are, you will not be indifferent.Obviously, both Keigo Atobe and Tsukimi Teruhashi attach great importance to this friendship that started in a foreign country.

"Charity seems like something you would do, but set up a foundation yourself? I thought you would just pick a more reliable one from the existing foundations and donate the money to finish the job."

This is the style of the person in front of him.

Zhaoqiao briefly explained what happened. Unlike the serial killer case that worried others, he could still talk about the hacking and murder case.

"So, you have the idea of ​​using the manuscript remuneration for charity?" Uncle Atobe raised his brows and folded his chest in dissatisfaction, "Need I remind you that you are also a victim in this incident. "

Kindness should have a limit!

"I know, Xiaojing."

Facing the accusation of Atobe's concern, Yue Jian smiled softly, his blue eyes were filled with the softness called touching, so full that it almost overflowed.

...Damn, this guy laughed like that again.

Uncle Atobe turned his head abruptly, rolled his eyes, and then turned his face back again—halfway, Uncle still faced Tsukimi with his side face.However, when he spoke again, his tone had softened a lot.

"Say, what do you think?"

Since the first time we met as a child, as long as this guy smiled at him like this, he would be fine.What can he do, he is also very desperate!

Uncle Atobe's heart is also very...not Atobe today.

"I thought about using part of the remuneration to help Mikiko Takenaka's family." Teruhashi blinked, wisely, he didn't say anything about his friend's rare embarrassment. Oh no.

"Later, I thought, why not expand the type of Ms. Takenaka? In this world, there are still many families who have suffered from violence. Although those murderers have been punished by law, they may not be able to compensate financially. enough."

Those who were injured by them were either left disabled or simply took their lives.The former will undoubtedly have to face huge medical expenses, and then he will have to face the burden of life.Not to mention the latter, death itself is a huge problem.

When it came to the business, Atobe finally didn't feel so awkward, and thought about it carefully: "This idea is good, very practical, and there is room for maneuver."

It can even be expanded to include the families of those police officers who died in the line of duty.As far as he knew, the country was not very generous in this regard.

Living well also requires costs.

"I didn't expect you to really start thinking about it." Atobe leaned lazily on the back of the chair like an elegant big cat.However, the look in his eyes was as sharp as ever, "So, you didn't think about putting Akashi and I in the front and hiding quietly by yourself?"

Hearing this, Zhaoqiao couldn't help but froze, and then explained helplessly.

"I had this plan at first, but Uncle Sakaki asked me to think about it. After thinking about it, it's just like what he said, it really doesn't have much impact. Just right, I can use this matter to make Zheng-chan easier."

Wait, what does this have to do with Akashi, why did it go back to that guy again?

Atobe raised his eyebrows, endured it, and ignored the second half of Yuejian's sentence.

"Mr. Sakaki actually spoke directly?" He held up the teacup in front of him, unlike his flamboyant taste for beauty, he prefers a more elegant taste for tea.

It's no wonder that Tsukimi will be shaken. How much Sakakitaro respected Teruhashi Tsukimi's decision all the time, the suggestions he said at this time are as heavy.

"Yes, Uncle Sakaki thinks that no matter what choice I make now, it won't have much impact on the final result."

It is rare for Zhaoqiao to hold his chin in depression.

"So, instead of escaping, it's better to accept the facts head-on." Atobe persuaded meaningfully. Compared with Akashi's wholehearted support for any decision of Teruhashi, he is more inclined to have this friend of his own take the initiative to seize the opportunity to send it to his door. .

"Besides, the sooner this kind of thing is settled, the sooner other people can feel at ease, which is not a bad thing for them."

In the end, it involved a friend's family affairs, and Atobe just got a taste of it after a few words, and didn't go too deep.

My friend's temper can be regarded as the best in the world, and it is definitely a happy thing to be taken care of by him.However, when it was time to make a decision, he never let people down.

Atobe still can't forget that one night not long after Mrs. Akashi passed away a few years ago, Akashi suddenly called him, and his tone was so serious that it seemed a matter of life and death.

"Yue sees him running to reason with my father. I'm worried that there will be a quarrel... In case the situation is not good, you can help me take care of him for a few days."

Although he was at a loss, Atobe agreed without hesitation at that time.

The two of them simply compared Akashi Seishomi to the Great Demon King, and they, who had never been at odds with each other, even reached a short-term cooperation.

Of course, Akashi's worries did not come true.There was no quarrel, and there was no scene of sending people to him for refuge overnight—thinking about it now, they were still too young to be calm at that time.In any case, as an adult, Uncle Akashi would never do such a thing as arguing with a child.

Later, Atobe asked quietly and found out that the cause of the incident was very simple. Uncle Akashi didn’t know whether it was due to the grief of losing his wife or other reasons. A few days after Mrs. Shiori’s death and everyone hadn’t recovered, So I forcefully added Akashi Seijuro's homework.Compressing his rest time, which tends to be zero, even the basketball left to him by Mrs. Shiori was denied in person.

At that time, Teruhashi, who ate and lived with Akashi because he was worried, could not have known it. It is said that he said something with a very calm expression after seeing the new class schedule handed to him by the old housekeeper.

"Okay, I see. I'm going to talk to my uncle, don't worry, the matter will be resolved."

Then rolled up his sleeves, knocked on the door and entered Akashi Masomi's office.

I heard that the entire Akashi mansion was terrified that night.Akashi Seijuro was even more prepared to snatch someone from the Great Demon King, and that's why Atobe received the call.

Who knows, did he really reason with Akashi Masaomi?Moreover, he was actually successful.

Since then, Atobe has made one fact clear.

Only a fool would let Zhao Qiaoyue see such a friend!

"Let me think about it again." Teruhashi smiled at Atobe, "When it comes to family members, you can't be too cautious."

"You're just too good-tempered." Atobe snorted, but finally compromised and didn't persuade much, "Okay, since this is the case, this charitable foundation is a very good opportunity, just to try it out."

Although his original intention was not that... Zhaoqiao smiled, and did not refute this friend who was only thinking of him.

"Alright." He took out his phone to check the time, and then smiled just right, "It's about time, and it's time for Zhengjiang to take a break from class. Let's make a video connection and talk about the foundation...you and It's been a long time since Zhengjiang, so next time we should make an appointment to get together. It's a pity that Huadi didn't come back from England alone."

Atobe: ...Wait, did you agree that only two of you would have lunch together?

Facing Tsukimi Kohashi's eyes and smile filled with anticipation, Atobe swallowed, swallowing the refusal with difficulty.

The ghost lingers!

Akashi: Huh.

After having lunch at the Atobe Villa and borrowing his room, he called the stylist and changed into a formal but not rigid suit. Teruhashi handed the changed clothes to the butler of the Atobe House, asking him to send it to him. go back.

"Is it really not necessary for my uncle to send you a car?"

"No need." The close-fitting clothes can't hold much, so Zhaoqiao walked out with a mobile phone, "I've been to the Imperial City Hotel, and I've asked others beforehand, if you take the subway, it only takes 10 minutes."

A look of great interest.

"Okay, then I won't see you off, be careful on the road."

Watching Tsukimi walk out of his sight, Atobe suddenly remembered a key question.

"By the way, has this guy ever taken the subway?"

10 minute later.

Zhaoqiao stood in front of the automatic ticket vending machine at the subway station with a dazed expression on his face.

...how does this thing work.

Although I have consulted Zhijun Jiajia, I got the conclusion that you only need to buy a ticket to get on the train and get off at the station... Theoretical operation and practice are really two different things. He underestimated the wisdom of modern people.

Zhaoqiao didn't think about it at all, he simply asked the wrong person.After all, Ghost Lamp is not Ritsu Onodera who knows him well enough, otherwise, he must have explained all the procedures clearly in advance—at least tell him to bring change.

And Onodera Ritsu, who entrusted Teruhashi to the ghost lamp, thought he would be sent directly to the venue, so there was no traffic item in the account.

Even Akashi didn't expect that his little Shuran would rush to take the subway on a whim.After all, according to Uncle Atobe's style, sending a car to deliver talents is a normal option.

Tsukimi stood with a serious face, raised his head to study the road map on the top of his head.

In short, just find the nearest dip to the Royal Hotel.Although he has no experience, he still has this common sense.

This is what Takahashi Misaki saw when she walked into the subway station.

The young boy, who was dressed in a suit, was worth a lot of money, standing in front of the ticket vending machine, seriously reading the information on it.The crowd coming and going in the subway station looked at him secretly, and the girls with makeup even said something to their friends from time to time, and then laughed happily.

However, probably because of the clothes, no one came forward to strike up a conversation.

...This person will not be the same as Teacher Xiaotu's brother, who doesn't know how to take the subway at all?

After waiting for a while, there was no movement from the other party.

Takahashi Misaki: ...Ah, sure enough!

After thinking about it, he stepped forward and asked.

"Well, sorry, if you don't mind, can I help you?"

They were all about to call and ask Heizi who could definitely help in this regard, but before Yue Jian had time to take out his phone, he heard a good man's voice from behind.

"I don't mind, I should say thank you very much, it really helped a lot!"

Zhaoqiao Yuejian turned around in surprise, wanting to see which kind-hearted person it was.

This kid is too good-looking!

Startled by the face that suddenly appeared in front of her, Takahashi Misaki covered her real 'thumping' little heart, and held back her smile with difficulty, not losing her composure.

"Excuse me, where are you going?"

"Emperor Capital Hotel, do you know which stop to get off at?"

...Is it the Imperial City Hotel again?

"To go there, just get off at Hibiya and walk for a few minutes."

Takahashi pointed to the coin slot, and continued, "Just 160 yen..."

He watched helplessly as the young boy took out a [-] yuan bill from his suit pocket, and then stuffed it into the coin slot without hesitation.

...Wait a minute, people's machines don't recognize it!

In the end, it was Takahashi Misaki who paid the change in advance, and led the young master who he saw as ignorant of the world to the subway.

"Today is really troublesome Takahashi-san, please wait a moment for the money, and I can pay you back when I see my friend after getting off the car."

He was kind enough to help, but it was really embarrassing to bother others so much. Zhaoqiao thought distressedly, wondering if Jiajia Zhijun would have some change by his side?It doesn't seem too good to ask someone to send you change.

It seems that more people are troubled without knowing it.

but……

"I didn't expect that there are so many skills in simple travel. Today's journey is really worth it."

Written, as expected, I still want to experience the various states of the world for myself.Moreover, as Heizi said, human observation is also very interesting, especially when psychological knowledge is used.

The recommended books are so professional, could it be that Brother Zhen actually came from a major?Like the FBI or something?

"Don't be so troublesome, besides, I'm going to the Royal Capital Hotel, so I happened to be on the way."

Takahashi Misaki quickly waved her hand, and seeing the young man who introduced himself as Teruhashi Tsukimi smiling, without refuting but making up his mind, he shut his mouth and didn't say much.

Having been with the unreasonable and domineering type of Mr. Xiaotu day and night for a long time, Misaki Takahashi has accumulated a little bit of experience.

At this time, it is useless to refuse.

However, I always feel that this child's face is a bit familiar. Where have you seen it before?

Takahashi Misaki sat on the side, couldn't help but peek at the young master who looked around curiously and looked around.

His long white hair was tied neatly and draped obediently over his shoulders.The side face is beautiful, if you only look at the face, you will definitely be taken as a girl.But his tall and straight figure and calm demeanor added a heroic air to his temperament, so that people would not mistake his gender.

Just like the little prince.

So seen something before, impossible?After all, this kind of person is the type that you will never forget once you meet him.

Standing in the crowd will shine, just like Mr. Rabbit.

Thinking of Teacher Xiaotu, Takahashi Misaki couldn't help pursing the corners of her lips in annoyance.

"Suddenly said to introduce a very important person to him, Mr. Xiaotu, what does it mean!"

When I woke up early this morning, my spirits were high, and I ran to the cloakroom to pick out the clothes for the whole morning, and I also took Miss Aikawa as a staff officer.Even the previous award celebration party had never seen him so solemn, which made him nervous.

When asked why, he kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything.The same is true for Ms. Aikawa, she seems to know something, but she looks like she is watching the show.

Mr. Rabbit?introduce?

At the moment when the similar pronunciation Zizhaoqiao brain passed by, the sharp brain informed him of the identity of the person beside him.

So, is he the child that Brother Qiuyan hid so tightly?

He looks weak, but he is unexpectedly kind and full of courage.

Thinking of the emails he received a few days ago, Brother Qiuyan couldn't help being complacent, and wrote a long paragraph eloquently, vividly describing how the kid was trembling while angrily scolding Haruhiko Usami for defending him.

The complacency is beyond words.

It seems that there is no need to pay back the change, but you can prepare a celebration gift.

By the way, it seems that the invitation ring for this year's Suzuki Express has already been delivered?

Although it is an express, the interior decoration is the decoration of an antique train, and the places passing by along the way are all beautiful places.Moreover, it is said that the Reasoning Association deduces cases and conducts reasoning on the train every year.

In short, whether it is watching the scenery or participating in the reasoning activities of the other party, it is very interesting.

In previous years, due to various reasons, he basically never showed up.This year, I might even ask for one more.

By the way, Zhengjiang won't go either, just adding his share is enough.

Zhaoqiao took out his phone, moved his fingers, and sent a message.

Within a few minutes, the phone vibrated, and Yue Jian opened it, showing a smile.

The text message seemed to read: I got two rings and sent someone to send them over.

There is no concierge in Zhaoqiao's house, he usually has to go to school and is not at home, and the things sent from outside are usually collected by Akashi's house.Such a fast speed is because these things similar to invitation letters have always been handed over to the old housekeeper for safekeeping.

Thinking of their own way, the two walked steadily all the way to the Imperial Hotel.As soon as Zhaoqiao raised his eyes, he saw that Zhijun Jiajia was already waiting outside, and a large area of ​​the hotel door, which was originally crowded with people, was emptied around him.

The doorman standing on the side was trembling, with a cowardly look that he wanted to ask him not to disturb the hotel, but he didn't dare to speak at all.

Mingming was also wearing a neat formal suit and a tie, just like the bright crowd passing in and out of the door.I don't know why, but the other party is very scary.

Zhaoqiao understood a little bit why Jiajia Zhijun made fun of himself as soon as he met before.This natural temperament is indeed difficult to change.

But this type of person should be able to shine in a profession like a policeman?

Sensitively aware that Misaki Takahashi next to him became alert all of a sudden, like a puppy who smelled a beast from a long distance away, his hair was matted, and he looked like he was ready to run away at any time.

Just as Zhaoqiao was about to say a few words of comfort, his arms tightened.

The shivering puppy grabbed his arm and stood in front of him, while speeding up his pace as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go in quickly, the teacher must be waiting!"

The deliberately amplified voice seemed to be bluffing, a little rude and a little funny.

Zhaoqiao didn't mean to ridicule at all, but felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

Brother Qiu Yan's vision this time is really good.

He patted Takahashi Misaki's already stiff shoulder reassuringly - Zhi-kun Gaga had seen him just now, and was already walking towards them.And Takahashi, though almost nervous to death, still stood firmly in front of Yue Jian.

"Don't be nervous, Takahashi-kun, he is my editor's assistant." Feeling his unrelieved tension, Zhaoqiao was a little bit dumbfounded.It's really not easy for Gaga Zhijun!

Yuejian slowed down, deliberately lowered his voice, and leaned into Takahashi Misaki's ear and added: "Kagachi-kun is just born with a fierce face, but he is actually a good person with a delicate mind. If you act so scared, he will sad!"

"Hey, is that so?"

Sure enough, hearing what Teruhashi said, the kind-hearted Takahashi Misaki relaxed her tense body.The eyes that looked at the ghost lamp were not so vigilant or repulsive, to be precise, there was a trace of sympathy.

Although the wheels of hell and the world are turning, and there is not enough rest time, the ghost lamp who is still able to hear and see: "..."

In addition to being sad that this is not very accurate, hit all!

Moreover, sometimes he is unconsciously feared outside of work, and he is indeed a little distressed.

Speaking of which, this is the second time he and this boy met?How did the other party know him so well in such a short period of time?

wait, is it...

Is this the predestined fate in the legend?

Thinking of this, his steps paused.For a moment, it seemed that he could hear the sound of his own heart beating, which was very clear in his ears.This kind of wonderful feeling was the first time since he met his mace.

Ghost Lamp's originally dull eyes fell on Zhaoqiao's body, and they couldn't help but become extremely soft.

Sensing the other party's gaze on him, Zhaoqiao raised his head, bent the corners of his mouth habitually, and smiled back.

thump...thump...

The sound of the beating heart became clearer.

Now, Ghost Lamp finally confirmed the idea that came up just now without a doubt.

Sure enough, this child was sent by heaven to be his assistant!
