kill a detective

Furutani Rei received a call from Kazami Yuya on the elevator leading downstairs.The phone vibrated in his palm for a long time before it was connected, and his voice sounded a little tired.

"Is there any result, Kazami?"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang Gu. The test results show that there is a 99.9% possibility that the two DNAs come from the same person..."

Jiang Gu Ling couldn't hear what was said later, he had already hung up the phone after recovering, and pressed the floor to go back to.The woman who entered the elevator with him gave him a suspicious look, and walked out first after the elevator door opened.

Jiang Gu Ling's mind was in a mess, and he walked back to the door of the room unknowingly, but he didn't know what to do.

Even though I was mentally prepared, I still felt that all this was so ridiculous when I heard the result.He put his hand on the doorknob, and the fingers in his vision were blurred for a moment.

He pushed open the door, and the room was quiet, with the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

"Xiao Xun?" He could hardly recognize who made that extremely hoarse voice.

There was only the sound of water flowing in the bathroom for a long time, he sensed something was wrong, and slammed the door panel open forcefully.The water splashed from the bathtub to the floor wet his trousers.

The woman's body was lying in the bathtub with her head tilted against the edge of the bathtub.There was no expression on that face, like a delicate porcelain doll.Her long black hair swayed gently with the waves in the water, and the plain dress was also supported by the buoyancy of the water to float the outer gauze.

One of her arms was hanging out of the bathtub, and her pale complexion was almost the same color as the bathtub wall.

Jiang Guling carried her out of the water, and gently called her name: "Xiao Xun." After calling her many times, he said: "I'm back, you should come back too..."

The woman in his arms didn't respond at all, like a pinched doll, just an empty shell.

This is not Xiaoxun's body, Jiang Gu Ling already knew it very well, but he still couldn't let go.

His little Xun had turned into a pile of bones. He watched her being salvaged with his own eyes, personally arranged to verify her identity, and punctured this illusion with his own hands.

Xiaoxun is dead...but she has indeed returned.Somehow, relying on the body in her arms, she returned to him.

He doesn't care what she becomes, he just doesn't want to lose her anymore.

So please, come back, don't leave me alone—

At this time, there was a sudden stabbing pain in his mind, as if a big hand reached into his mind and stirred it.He felt drowsy, but a panic of losing something important supported him against the drowsiness and the big hand.

For a short moment, it was like a long river flowing by. When the river receded, he suddenly remembered many things that had been forgotten.

Those memories were buried in the depths of his memory, covered by a layer of veil, and now they were finally pulled away by him and spread out in front of his eyes.

He remembered that Kaoru Nishikujo had actually returned to him earlier than he remembered.

It was a bright moonlit night.

She stands by his bed.Mistaking her for someone from the disguised organization, he aimed his gun at her and even pulled the trigger.

At that time, the gaze she looked at him was dark, full of desperate hatred and boundless loss and loneliness.She raised the long knife, and at that time—she really wanted to kill him.

She came back because she hated him.Not because of love.Jiang Guling thought to himself.

"Zero, what's wrong with you?"

The woman in her arms suddenly came alive, as if the machine had been started suddenly, and her arms were raised stiffly, as if the operator hadn't gotten used to the way the machine was operated.

When those eyes opened, they were still as bright as in memory, looking at him with concern.

But the brighter those eyes were, the more he would think of that same pair of eyes full of hatred on that night he had forgotten.The more vivid her expression was, the more he would think of the dim white light he had seen standing outside the door of the forensic team through the glass window.

"Does it still hurt?"

Kaoru Nishikujo gently grabbed his hand.The faucet that was not closed was still running, and the clothes of the two of them were mostly wet, and the slight sound of rain outside the window came into their ears.It seems that they are the only ones left in the whole world.

This is the truth he worked so hard to get.

His lover is long dead.He was alone again.She hates him.

At first, he just wanted to find an answer, just wanted to find out whether the bone was Kaoru Nishikujo.It never occurred to him to tell the truth.

Fugu Ling has already made plans, no matter what the result is, he will go on with the current Xiao Kaoru.He will pretend not to notice, and stay with her, even if it can't last for a long time, he will cherish every day and night.

But now he hesitated.

If Kaoru Nishi Kujo actually hated him, could it be that he imprisoned her and prevented her from becoming a Buddha?

If that's the case, he's really a scumbag.

"Xiao Xun," he tried to make his tone look relaxed, "you don't have to pretend anymore, it's tiring too. I already know it."

Kaoru Nishikujo looked at him quietly: "Know what?"

Furutani Zero avoided her sight.

"Bones. The bones that were salvaged from the Edo River that night..." He couldn't continue, and his palms were dripping with blood.But Kaoru Nishikujo already understood what he meant.

There was silence, only the sound of rushing water.

Rei Fuguni forced himself to look at Kaoru Nishikujo, but the latter had already avoided his gaze and turned his back to him.He couldn't see her expression, only saw her thin back, with a kind of fragile fragility.

He wanted to hug her, but she avoided him.

"……Do not touch me."

Jiang Gu Ling turned off the faucet, covered Kaoru Nishikujo with a bath towel, and said softly, "Don't catch a cold."

Kaoru Nishikujo covered her head with a bath towel, and curled her arms around her knees.

Rei Fugutani felt his heart hurt like being gouged out by a knife, but as long as he got close, Kaoru Nishikujo would shrink himself even smaller, so he had to stand where he was, not daring to move again.

"...can you tell me what happened?"

"...Do you want justice for me?" She asked sharply.

"..."

"No need, I've already killed those people." Kaoru Nishikujo stood up while supporting the bathtub wall, the towel slipped off her body and submerged in the water.She looked towards Fugu Ling, as if she had come out of her emotions, and now the look in her eyes gradually overlapped with the first night of their reunion.

Of course she didn't kill those people.After staying in Xuquan for a few years, she couldn't even remember what those people looked like when she came back, so how could she kill them.

But when Jiang Gu Ling asked that, she said it unconsciously, with some malice that she didn't know.

She thought she was resenting Jiang Gu Ling, so she told the truth.Kaoru Nishikujo thought that with Zero's intelligence, the two lived together for a long time, and he might discover the truth one day.But she didn't expect this day to come so soon.

It took less than three months for the two to be together again.

Can't he wait any longer?

Why do you have to speak out?

Jiang Gu Ling smiled wryly, lowering his eyelashes.

"It's... the time you told me about being harassed and accidentally fell into the river?"

"You don't already know everything," Kaoru Nishikujo smiled at him, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "You're so smart, Officer Furuya."

When he became a public security policeman, Fugu Rei swore that in order to protect every light, every family and every happiness that shines in this country, he was willing to give everything and even sacrifice for it.

However, he who promised such an oath couldn't even protect his girlfriend's happiness alone.

Even, he was one of the pushers who pushed her to death, and he didn't let her go even after death.

He's the worst boyfriend ever.

Fugu Ling felt that it was time to release Kaoru Nishi Kujo from everything that trapped her, but when she wanted to speak, her throat seemed to be blocked by a heavy stone.

He realized that if he spoke he would lose her forever.

He traced the outline of the person in front of him.Gentle and beautiful eyebrows, delicate and small nose tip, plump and bright red lips, and a soft body when hugged.It seemed that his gaze was too focused, and Kaoru Nishikujo couldn't avoid it, so he had to stare back.

Such a vibrant body, if he hadn't seen its porcelain doll-like appearance with his own eyes, Jiang Guling would not have thought that the souls placed in it belonged to people who had long since died.

Death and Kaoru Nishikujo, he felt that these two words were so far apart, and they were still so unreal until now.Is his little Kaoru really dead?So many years ago, a person sank to the bottom of the river alone?

"Xiao Xun—" He called her name out of his throat.

It wasn't until this moment that Fugu Rei realized that he might have been waiting for this moment.Otherwise, he wouldn't have turned down everything and traveled with Xiaoxun.He regarded this trip as his last.

Even though he really wanted to be with Xiao Xun for the rest of his life, and it's okay to pretend to be a fool for the rest of his life, but his subconscious mind still understood that he couldn't be so selfish anymore, and forced her to stay in this world just for the sake of not being alone anymore.

He hoped that Xiao Kaoru would be happy in the next life.

Even if you are hated.

"Xiao Xun, go back to your place."

He finally said this sentence, as if his whole body was exhausted, his breathing became difficult, and his vision began to blur.

He seemed to see his friends from the police academy passing by, and then they went away one by one, waving at him: "Zero, we are waiting for you, hurry up!".

He gasped for breath and couldn't say the next words, but he thought that Kaoru Nishikujo might not be willing to listen to those words.

He wanted to say, ask her to wait for him in that world, and he will come to her as soon as possible.It doesn't matter if she is willing to forgive him, or not, if there really is a so-called afterlife, he will continue to love her deeply.

He couldn't see Kaoru Nishikujo's expression clearly, but he felt that she seemed to be looking at him.The gaze kept falling on him, making him feel constant pain.

"As you wish," she said finally.Word by word, as if exhausted.

Jiang Guling supported the door frame and stood up, and when he came back to his senses, there was no one in the room.She really left, and with that body, everything was like a dream, leaving only the water in the bathtub rippling gently.

It was raining heavily outside the window, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
