[Death] Acacia inkstone

Chapter 20 The Devil's Art

"You like him?" Takigawa Aoba leaned against the door, stopping Kaoru Sakurai who was about to go back to the room, with a cold light in his eyes.

Since Kaoru Sakurai met him when he was investigating the Miemen case in the world of souls, he felt that this person was very wrong with him.At this moment, she didn't want to talk to Takigawa Aoba at all, and she didn't want to have anything to do with him, so she rolled her eyes at him, didn't reply, just took out the key and turned it into the lock, wanting to open the door.

Takigawa Aoba was obviously very dissatisfied with her attitude.When I was in the world of souls and souls, all the people I met admired him very much. Kaoru Sakurai was the only one who made him feel cold over the years.When he saw the letter paper in her hand, he took it straight away.

Builditupwithsilverandgold,

Silver and gold, silver and gold,

Builditupwithsilverandgold,

My fair lady.

Silverandgoldwillbestolenaway,

Stolenaway,stolenaway,

Silverandgoldwillbestolenaway,

My fair lady.

"Well." He stared at the red words on the letter paper: "This ballad is for Iwata Nishiura. He died of heavy metal poisoning, and it can barely correspond to the 'silver and gold' in the lyrics."

Seeing that he wasn't paying attention to her, Sakurai Kaoru hurried into the room and closed the door with a bang.

"The letter paper is indeed a hint of Xipu's death. However, since you are so good at criminal investigation, then I will not accompany you." Her muffled voice came from behind the door: "Goodbye."

Takikawa found her appearance amused, he knocked on the door, and the indifferent expression on his face gradually faded: "Forensic doctor Sakurai, I have something important to talk to you about."

"Don't talk." The voice behind the door rejected him without hesitation: "I have nothing to say to you."

"In this case," Takigawa Aoba deliberately paused, and the sound of footsteps in the room stopped for an instant, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I originally wanted to tell Captain Hitsugaya together. I told you."

The footsteps sounded again, only this time in a different direction.With a click, the door was opened by the width of a palm, Kaoru Sakurai shrank half of his face behind the door, and looked at him suspiciously: "Then tell me quickly."

Takigawa Aoba looked at the room meaningfully: "Then you have to let me in first."

Kaoru Sakurai closed the door again and brought over two cups of tea.Takigawa Aoba casually sat on the chair next to her, with a relaxed expression.

He watched her reluctantly put the teacup on the table beside him, and found it very interesting: "You still like drinking tea so much."

"How do you know?" Sakurai Kaoru's movements froze suddenly, and he raised his eyes in disbelief: "You have never seen me before."

"But you have seen me." He said lightly.

Kaoru Sakurai sat down, and she saw that it was a long time ago when she saw him, and it had already become a thing of the past. She felt that there was nothing to mention, so she changed the topic: "Captain Takigawa, let's get down to business."

He is the captain of the Guards of Ruukon Street, it is natural for Sakurai Kaoru to call him that, but when Takikawa Aoba heard her call him that, he felt very uncomfortable.But he didn't pay much attention to it, and cut to the point: "There has been a change in Aizen's seal."

"I suddenly returned to the Soul Realm a few days ago because of this." He then took a sip of tea, and felt that the slightly bitter and sweet tea taste was very familiar, and it was a taste that he had not seen for a long time: "I heard that Lan Ran died after the last rebellion. At that time, I once went to this world to win over a group of party members. I thought that after so many years, even if there were, they should all be dead."

"It seems that's not the case now." His voice lowered, and his expression became serious: "Lan Ran's influence in this world has been inherited from generation to generation. His remnant party is still there."

Kaoru Sakurai couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard this. She was still young during the Aizen Rebellion, so she didn't have much of an impression, but she knew the horror of Aizen very well: "You mean, these people in the criminal investigation team , is the blue dye remnant party?"

"Not sure yet." Takigawa said lightly: "I deliberately came to the island directly from the soul world just to test them. As you can see, none of them expressed puzzlement about my appearance. It can be seen that they understand From the soul world."

"I have always felt that there is a subtle connection between the people in the criminal investigation team." Kaoru Sakurai nodded: "So that's the case."

"I only talked to Captain Hitsugaya about Aizen's seal. I think he has his own inferences about other things."

"But the captain didn't tell me anything." Kaoru Sakurai was a little depressed. Does Dongshiro distrust her?

"He didn't tell you probably because these are just speculations, he didn't want to startle the snake." Takigawa saw Kaoru Sakurai holding his head in thought, and his calm heart was stirred up a bit.

"Ah, does the captain think I'm so stupid?" She complained and turned her head, seeing Takikawa Aoba staring at her: "Have you finished what you want to say?"

He nodded slightly in disbelief.

Kaoru Sakurai suddenly remembered the moment when he saw Huayuan holding Toshiro, and felt a little restless.She raised her hand and pointed to the door: "then hurry up, don't send it off."

"You didn't keep me?" Takigawa Aoba still didn't look away, but there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

That picture was frozen in her mind for a long time, Kaoru Sakurai stood up, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.She simply issued an order to evict the guest: "Why keep you? It's not good for me."

"Oh?" Takigawa Aoba also stood up quickly. He was slender and taller than her by a head. Being looked down by him like this, Sakurai Kaoru felt very oppressed.

She instinctively took a step back, but Takigawa took a step to follow.So she took another step back...

When her back touched the cold wall, Sakurai Kaoru knew that she could no longer retreat, and she raised her head impatiently: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Look at your expression..." His eyes moved inch by inch on her face: "Do you think of Captain Hitsugaya and Izumo Huahara?"

Being poked at the center of the matter, and this person is Takigawa Aoba who has a very bad impression in her heart, Sakurai Kaoru was a little annoyed: "It's none of your business."

Takikawa looked at her wide-eyed and swollen eyes, and his thoughts went blank for a moment.After a while, he frowned and asked her word by word in a deep voice:

"Sakurai Kaoru, did I... know you a long time ago?"

Sakurai Kaoru turned her face away to avoid his gaze: "You didn't know me before."

"Really." Takigawa Aoba's eyes darkened for a moment, but then returned to normal: "But I think you are very familiar."

"I know you like drinking tea." He paused, lowered his head a little lower, and at the same time turned to her face: "I know you like cherry blossom trees."

Sakurai Kaoru was also stunned.What Takigawa Aoba said was right.

It's true that she likes cherry blossom trees, but she always only looks at them from a distance, and doesn't want to go under the trees.She couldn't say why.

"It's probably an illusion." Kaoru Sakurai thought about the hallucinations he had recently experienced one after another, but in the end he only uttered these few words.She didn't want to talk too much with him.

"Sakurai Kaoru, I am very familiar with you." Takigawa Aoba narrowed his eyes, his beautiful eyes were as deep as a pool of water: "Besides, I think..."

He continued to move his head closer to her, and she could almost feel his warm breath.His hand pinched Sakurai Kaoru's chin, forcing her to tilt her head slightly.

Sakurai Kaoru felt that their posture really seemed to be kissing.

She could feel that as long as Takigawa Aoba lowered his head further, he could touch her lips.

The atmosphere was getting weirder, Sakurai Kaoru felt that she should push him away, but she suddenly had a headache.

"Sakurai—" With a creak, the door was suddenly opened.And Sakurai Kaoru's heart trembled three times when he heard this voice.This was clearly the captain's voice.

Takigawa Aoba looked calm and breezy, slowly withdrew his hand on her chin, took a step back, and distanced herself from her.

Sakurai Kaoru turned around in embarrassment, and saw Toshirō leaning against the half-open door expressionlessly, feeling that the air around her was so cold that her hairs stood on end.

"It seems that Captain Hitsugaya has something to look for you." Takikawa suddenly turned his head and smiled at her, then walked out the door quickly.

"Sakurai Kaoru, let's talk about our business next time."

Kaoru Sakurai wanted to find a hole in the ground to bury herself. This Takikawa Aoba actually said something about "our business", did he intend to harm her?

Where did "we" come from?

What kind of "we" are she and him?

Kaoru Sakurai didn't know how to clean up such a mess.

She had no choice but to rub her hands first, coughed twice and said: "Ah, captain, the quality of the door of this villa is really getting worse and worse. How can it be opened with a single push? It can't guarantee my safety at all—"

"——It was you who didn't close it tightly." With a click, Toshiro closed the door, walked up to Kaoru Sakurai and said indifferently: "The bolt didn't slide into the groove, it just pressed against the door frame. So I pushed it Just open."

Sakurai Kaoru felt very annoyed, and she decided to make sure to hear a click when closing the door in the future.

"I have something to tell you." When Shiro Dong said this, his face was still expressionless, and his tone was steady.Sakurai Kaoru suddenly felt that he was unable to figure out the captain.

She should explain to the captain that Takikawa just said something to her, but there was nothing between them?Just when she was hesitating, she heard Shiro Dong say: "Hua Yuan is not in good health recently, you may have to help her share it." Not long ago, the image of them embracing each other popped up in her mind again, Sakurai Kaoru felt very unhappy, but she could only answer yes.

Dongshiro looked at her with a frown, and sighed: "Sakurai, some things are not what you think."

"It's not what I thought? What's that like?" Kaoru Sakurai raised his eyebrows, a little impatient.

"I can't tell you yet." Dongshiro took a step towards her.When Huayuan was crying on his shoulder, Sakurai Kaoru's every move beside him, he actually noticed every word and every word.At that time, he watched her leaving back, and still couldn't figure out what kind of role he was in her heart.

And he didn't do it on purpose.

"You can't tell me again?" Sakurai Kaoru couldn't explain why he was so irritable at this moment, and the words blurted out without going through the brain: "Captain, if Takikawa hadn't come to tell me about the changes in the soul world, I still don't know what happened to the soul world." kept in the dark."

"Do you all know?" She stared at him, and Takigawa Aoba's voice sounded in her ears again: "Huayuan also knows, right?"

"Anyway, Huayuan is so good, the captain should feel relieved to let her do everything—"

"——What are you betting about?" Winter Shiro interrupted her, his eyes burning on her.

Sakurai Kaoru was speechless when asked, Dongshiro was right.She spouted nonsense without reason like this, she was indeed acting in a fit of anger.Is she angry?

Was she angry at Shiro Dong and didn't push Hua Yuan away?

Both Xipu and Huayuan have said that she likes Dongshiro.Even Takigawa Aoba looked at her expression and asked her if she liked the captain.

Sakurai Kaoru knows that her own feelings for Toshiro have always been unclear.She knew that they knew each other well and cooperated with each other tacitly, but she didn't rely on him.In the ten years since she left Dong Shi Lang to go to the present world, she didn't feel missing either.

Even now, she couldn't live without him.

Kaoru Sakurai thought for a while, and felt that she really didn't understand herself well enough.She calmed down again, the captain has a reason for everything, she shouldn't have these inexplicable ghost tempers at all.

She smiled to defuse the stagnant atmosphere: "No, no, captain, I'm not angry, I just forgot to drink herbal tea today, and I'm a little angry."

"Captain, I was wrong, please don't deduct my salary." She grabbed his arm with one hand and put on a pitiful expression on purpose. She was always good at this: "Just now Takigawa insisted that he had Knowing me, I must have been annoyed by his mental retardation."
