kill a detective

When Kaoru Nishikujo finished washing and arrived at the restaurant, Keiko Nishikujo had already gone out.Perhaps out of consideration for her daughter's thin skin, the maid, Ms. Lingmei, said that she had left early to go shopping in the supermarket.

For breakfast, I made egg and ham sandwiches and milk.After Kaoru Nishikujo finished his meal, Rei Furutani, dressed in sportswear, came in the door wiping off his sweat.It looks like he just finished exercising outside.

The two said good morning to each other belatedly, Kaoru Nishikujo went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and when he came out Fugu Rei started doing push-ups in the room again.

With one hand propped on the ground and the other behind his back, sweat slid down his wheat-colored skin to the floor, glistening in the morning sun.

"196, 197, 198..." He counted softly.

When they were together a few years ago, Furutani Ling was a perverted self-disciplined guy, and after so many years, this is still the same.Kaoru Nishikujo thought, if she had this kind of perseverance, she wouldn't be stared at by Master Kiora with "Are you a waste?"

Kaoru Nishikujo went to the kitchen and poured a cup of hot water out, so that it would be at a drinkable temperature after Futani Zero finished exercising.

"Xiao Xun——" Jiang Guling suddenly stopped and looked at her, the sweat on his forehead soaked his blond hair, making him look a bit like a wet golden retriever, "Can you do me a favor?"

"what?"

"Lie on my back and put some weight on me."

"I'm very heavy—"

Kaoru Nishikujo took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead before slowly sitting on his back, and seriously explained: "If you feel tired, don't force it—"

Having said that, he certainly won't listen to it.This training chump is sure to find ways to keep pushing his limits.That's who he is.

Kaoru Nishikujo accepted his fate.

Furutani Rei started counting again, and Nishikujo Kaoru also silently followed his rhythm in his heart.The sunlight filtered by the leaves falls on the body through the window, which is a temperature that will not make people feel hot.

Xu's body was warmed by the sun, and Kaoru Nishikujo felt drowsy, yawned lightly, and his eyelids slowly closed.

Fugu Ling felt the shallow breathing on his back, stopped his movements, and maintained the posture of supporting the ground.

He really slept like a bed, he smiled helplessly.

Kaoru Nishikujo woke up after not sleeping for a long time. She was dazedly aware that the person below her was not moving. She turned her head, arched the man's blond hair, and asked softly, "Why are you not moving?"

"Afraid of waking you up."

Kaoru Nishikujo shook her head, and said seriously: "It won't wake me up, just go up and down like this, it's quite comfortable, just like an automatic rocking chair."

Very good, he successfully upgraded to a premium bed.

"Then go back to sleep, and I'll wake you up later."

Kaoru Nishikujo shook his head. "No, you have been exercising for a long time, you must take a break." She got off Jiang Guling and pulled him up.Jiang Gu Ling followed her obediently, was handed warm water, and wiped off his sweat carefully.

"You have to wipe off your sweat in time after exercising so you don't catch a cold, do you understand?"

Fugu Zero nodded cooperatively.

Kaoru Nishikujo was not sure whether he had listened or not, and asked again worriedly: "Don't take it seriously just because of your good health, like last time—"

"Last time?" Jiang Guling looked at her suspiciously and inquiringly.

"Ah, I mean—last, last time I saw a man fainted with a high fever, and the ambulance came. You must not be like him." Kaoru Nishikujo confused in a mess.

After Keiko Nishikujo came back, Kaoru Nishikujo and Rei Furutani accompanied her to sort the things they bought back, and the three of them got rid of the weeds in the yard together, and trimmed the protruding branches in the greenery. It's past eleven o'clock.

"It's really thanks to Zero being here this time—" Keiko Nishikujo praised with a smile. She was not in good health, and she didn't last long before she rested on the porch. "After staying here for so long, is it okay to work?"

"It's okay, I asked the store manager for leave today."

Kaoru Nishikujo puffed her cheeks coquettishly: "Mom, I also put in a lot of effort."

"Yeah," Keiko Nishikujo smiled and satisfied her daughter's desire to be praised, "Xiao Kaoru is also great, she has really grown up a lot in the past few years, and it's not tiring to do such a heavy job."

Keiko Nishikujo has never asked where Kaoru Nishikujo went missing for five years, perhaps because of her mother's instinctive intuition, she realized that it was a forbidden area that could not be touched.For her, it was enough for her daughter to come back.

"But—" the topic changed.

Kaoru Nishikujo raised his ears. "What's wrong?"

"It would be even better if Xiaoxun could work harder so that mother would have a grandson sooner—oh, by the way, when are you two going to get married?" Keiko Nishikujo took a sip of tea leisurely.

Rei Furutani, who had just put away the lawn mower, stood there blankly. The calm policeman, who was able to handle the vicious gangsters with ease, lost his words and subconsciously glanced at Kaoru Nishikujo's lower abdomen.

Angrily, Xi Kujou picked up a platycodon flower beside him and threw it at him, shouting, "Don't look! There won't be any children of yours there!"

She is false, has, and has reproductive isolation——

The public security policeman's eyes dimmed instantly, but the corners of his mouth still pretended to be a relaxed smile.

Kaoru Nishikujo felt his eyes linger a few times on the hickey on her neck covered by the hair.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant—I'm going to make lunch first."

"Ah, I'm sad." Keiko Nishikujo took another sip of tea.

"Mom—" Kaoru Nishikujo called out weakly.How did she find out that her mother also has the evil taste of fearing that the world will not be chaotic.

"Although mother likes zero very much, Xiaoxun still needs to like it if she gets married. If Xiaoxun wants to change, mother will also support it."

Kaoru Nishikujo covered his face helplessly.

I made spicy grilled fish for lunch.A big plump fish was covered with a layer of red pepper, and the tender white fish was sizzling with oil and water, and the fragrance made the children next door cry.

"Didn't you go to the market today? Where did you get the fish?" Kaoru Nishikujo's chopsticks and rice were ready.

"It was brought back in the morning."

Keiko Nishikujo's body is not suitable for eating spicy food, so Rei Fuguya made a baked white fish for her alone.

"Give it a try—" Rei Fuguni pushed the grilled fish in the direction of Kaoru Nishikujo.

Kaoru Nishikujo carefully picked up a piece of fresh and tender fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The spicy taste mixed with the aroma of the sauce exploded in his mouth. The fish was so delicious that it seemed to come alive in his mouth.

"It's so delicious—"

This craft is really getting better and better.If I can eat this kind of food every day by marrying Zero, then I am willing to travel west immediately to find the way to resurrect the dead.

Jiang Gu Ling was praised, and he frowned happily, as if he had completely forgotten the unhappiness just now: "It's good that Xiao Xun likes it."

After lunch, Kaoru Nishikujo and Rei Furutani were about to leave.Kaoru Nishikujo thought about whether to bring her mother to live with her in Yokohama, but firstly, the life in Yokohama was too chaotic, and people knew that she still had a mother, so the situation of Keiko Nishikujo would only be more dangerous, and Keiko Nishikujo was in I'm used to living here, and I don't want to leave the old house.

"Then I will definitely come to see you often." The mother and daughter hugged for the last time, and Keiko Nishikujo was helped into the house by Miss Lingmei.

Kaoru Nishikujo came from Hibiki and didn't drive. Furutani Rei offered to take her back, and she agreed, thinking that it would be better to go back to Tokyo to see the children first.

When she got into the co-pilot, she casually glanced at the back seat of the car, and unexpectedly saw a fishing rod and a fish box hidden underneath.

"Jiangu Ling," she said with a straight face, "tell me honestly, the fish you ate at noon today...couldn't be the one you went out to catch last night, right?"

Rei Furutani stopped holding the steering wheel, looked carefully at Kaoru Nishikujo's face, and confessed honestly: "...Yes, because I think this kind of fish is the freshest..."

"So you drove back to the city, took the fishing tackle and went fishing again?" Kaoru Nishikujo raised his voice, "Then did you rest last night?"

Jiang Guling didn't dare to tell the truth this time, and made a false report. "Slept for three hours." It was actually three 10 minutes.

"Come down—"

"what?"

"I'll tell you, I'll drive. You take advantage of this time to sleep in the car for a while."

Rei Fuguya didn't dare to resist at all, obediently sat in the co-pilot, looked at Kaoru Nishikujo's face and said cautiously: "That...Xiao Kaoru, before I leave, I want to go to the nearby cemetery first, is that okay?"

Kaoru Nishikujo didn't even look at him, but silently drove the car to the cemetery.

"Why do you want to come here?" Kaoru Nishikujo asked when getting off the car.Her father is also buried here.

Fugu Ling walked in front of her.

"...It's Ida, he's buried here."

Kaoru Nishikujo quickly walked a few steps to follow him.

"...It's Date, who used to hang out with me at the police academy?"

Jiang Gu zero nodded.

Furutani Rei had a few very good friends when he was in the police academy, because they were Rei's girlfriend, and Nishikujo Kaoru often met those people, especially Matsuda Jinpei and Zhu Fu Jingguang, they and Nishi Kujo Kaoru Also very close friends.

Date Hang, in the impression of Kaoru Nishi Kujo, is a very strong, optimistic and brother-like character.

Is such a person going to sleep here now?

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Jinhei and Jingguang and the others. How are you doing? It's hard work as a policeman." Kaoru Nishikujo didn't know how to comfort Rei Fugutani, so he simply tried to change the subject.

Jiang Guling didn't speak, and stopped on the path between the two tombstones, followed his gaze, and a tombstone in front of him read - the tomb of the Date family.

It is the place where Date Hang sleeps.

Jiang Guling stared in that direction for a long time before saying softly, "They... all died in the line of duty too."

"He, them? Who?"...It can't be everyone, right?

"They, all—abandoned me and went to another world."

The bright summer sun fell on the lush treetops, the rare days of rain stopped, the clouds were cleared, and the singing of cicadas and erratic clouds resumed their activities.Jiang Gu Ling stood in the darkness under the shade of a tree, the wind gently twitching his hair.

Kaoru Nishikujo tentatively tried to grab his hand, but he held it back, using a lot of strength, which was painful.

"Xiao Xun, I'm sorry." He said suddenly.

"Why, why did you suddenly say sorry to me?"

"I left Xiaoxun irresponsibly five years ago. Because of this...and because of this...Xiaoxun became a member of the port mafia, right?"

A sentence is like a bolt from the blue, no less than knowing the death of friends.

"……You knew already."

Looking at his performance, Kaoru Nishikujo thought he didn't notice.Well, it must have been at that time that she saw her take off her human-leather mask.

Unexpectedly, he said: "I have been suspicious of the relationship between the port gangster, the hand party Mingjian and Xiaoxun since a long time ago—maybe much earlier than you thought, although it was really confirmed yesterday."

"...Then why haven't you said it? Don't you hate bad guys the most?"

Jiang Gu Ling answered irrelevantly: "One of the factors that I have been unable to determine is the skill of the sword. I have investigated a lot of news about the sword. The rookie of the supernatural organization, the peak combat power, no matter which one makes me very happy." It's hard to get in touch with Xiao Xun."

"Because in my impression, Xiao Xun is still the girl who will pant after taking two extra steps and needs my careful care—it's hard to change people's impression in a short while."

He looked down at the hands that were clasped with Kaoru Nishikujo.

"It's so cool - since this reunion, every time I touched Xiao Xun, it was this temperature. At first I thought it was because of the cold water, but this body temperature is too abnormal. This is really what normal humans may have The temperature? And I sometimes feel like I can't hear your heartbeat or your breathing—"

"Xiao Xun, your body is different from before, isn't it?"

Kaoru Nishikujo listened to the previous words with ease, but at this point she finally couldn't help shaking off Furutani Rei's hand, feeling her whole body trembling.

If she were an orange, someone would be peeling off the protective skin little by little right now, Kaoru Nishikujo thought of this somewhat inexplicable metaphor.

Even a detective, based on this information, can deduce that she is not human, which is somewhat outrageous.

Furuya Zero continued talking. "I tried to hack into the government system, and learned an astonishing fact. In this world, there are supernatural powers that can transform even human bodies. Xiaoxun's body has undergone such transformation, right? The missing five In [-], you were transformed into the strong man they needed in the port mafia, and you performed tasks for them, didn't you—"

Kaoru Nishikujo's body stopped shaking.

Eh?

Is this the script I took?

"...Well, that's it." Compared with being found out by Zero, this kind of result seems easier to accept.

"I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you."

Jiang Guling lowered his eyes, lost his mind like a big dog abandoned by its owner.Kaoru Nishi Kujo stood on tiptoe and hugged him to comfort him, "Actually, there was a reason why Hong Kong and Hei reformed me back then, because... because I was seriously injured, they treated me as a living doctor. And Hong Kong Hei's boss is quite nice to me, don't you think I'm living a pretty good life now?" She was talking nonsense along the script Jiang Guling gave.

"...Xiao Kaoru, do you want to leave the port mafia?"

Of course not, where else can you make money here.

Kaoru Nishikujo deliberately hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "Don't think about it for now, Mr. Mori is really a good boss, and don't worry, unlike your undercover organization in black, Mr. Mori and I made an appointment from the beginning , I can withdraw at any time, and he will not send anyone to chase me down."

Kaoru Nishikujo tried to convey sincerity with his eyes, but Rei Fuguya reluctantly believed it for the time being.

Following Kaoru Nishikujo's strength, he held her in his arms and said in a low voice, "Although I am no longer qualified to ask for anything from Kaoru's life, I still want to ask you, the only request—"

"What?" Kaoru Nishikujo hugged his waist and looked up at him.

"Please live well, I don't want to lose you like I lost them."

Jiang Guling stared at her, the blue sea in his eyes was surging toward her.
