As a real wine, I developed a bottle of fake wine

Nanao didn't immediately understand the meaning of Fuguya Rei's words.

But she is also looking forward to it, so wishing is not a waste anyway.

When Jiang Guling was walking in the supermarket, a strange voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"zero?"

He turned his head in confusion following the voice, and Nanasheng also adjusted his perspective to look over. A tall and strong middle-aged man was holding a shopping basket and standing by the shelf not far away.

He immediately smiled when he met Rei Furutani's eyes.

"Sure enough, it's you, you've grown up so much."

"Uncle Nakamura." Furutani Rei obviously recognized him as well.

Looking at this man named Nakamura, Nana felt like he had seen him somewhere.The other party called Ling's name directly, and said that he hadn't seen each other for a long time, probably because he had known him since he was very young.Is it a relative of Zero or a friend of his parents?

But if it's a relative, she shouldn't find it familiar.

Nakamura came over with a gentle smile and shook hands with Furutani Rei, and the two exchanged pleasantries, "Why are you here? Have you moved here?"

"I go to school nearby." Fugu Rei was taller than Nakamura, lowered his head slightly to talk with him, and seemed obedient in front of his elders.

Nanasheng looked at Zero's appearance, which was quite novel.

"Go to school?" Nakamura was taken aback, "Yes, you should be... graduating from university soon, right?"

"Well, I'm graduating this spring."

"Isn't that fast? Congratulations, Zero."

Nakamura smiled happily.

The man looked to be in his 40s, with a well-maintained figure, and the signs of exercise could be seen under the loose casual clothes.

His brows and eyes are deep, and although there are already wrinkles on his face, he should have been quite handsome when he was young.

He has a darker complexion, with a faint line just below the neckline of his T-shirt near his collarbone, a skin color that's more sunburned than natural.

"By the way, what school did you go to?"

Nakamura should be the unsmiling type at ordinary times, the kind smile that belonged to the elders was very discordant on his face, Nanasheng flicked the angle of view boredly, and saw the sharp light in his eyes inadvertently.

Her gaze narrowed slightly.

"Tokyo Police Academy." Furutani Rei answered without thinking.

The other party's smile froze for two seconds, and there was a moment of bewilderment: "Are you going to be a policeman?"

"Yes... I remember uncle, you used to be a criminal policeman, right?"

"I'm not from the criminal department." Nakamura waved his hand, "Although I'm also from the Metropolitan Police Department, but the department I belong to is different, so I can't be called a criminal police officer."

He changed the subject, "But Ling, I didn't expect you to be a policeman. Jianggu... Your parents should hope that you have a more stable career. I remember when you were young, they talked about it every day, What are you talking about, as long as Zero grows up in peace."

Jiang Guling was silent for a few seconds: "Really?"

Nakamura seemed to come to his senses at this time: "Sorry, I accidentally said too much. But zero, you will know after a few years of work. The police are really hard and tired. They work overtime day and night at every turn. It is purely based on their mission. I feel supportive."

This person's heart is too big, Nanasheng felt a little unhappy in his heart.But it was precisely because Nakamura took the initiative to mention Furutani Rei's parents that she remembered who this person was.

Among the relics of her parents that Zero showed her back then was a photo album.

It is said that they were both members of the tennis club when they were studying at Dongdu University.The Tennis Club continues to hold regular parties after graduation.And Nakamura in front of him was one of the party members.

She even took a few extra glances at him at that time, because most of the middle-aged men in the photos had big bellies.Apart from Furutani Rei's father, only Nakamura has maintained a good figure.

Nanasheng's impression of Nakamura was left at that time.

It turned out he was a policeman.

Nakamura seemed to have other things to do after that, and after chatting with Rei Fuguya for a while, he went to check out first after exchanging contact information.

Nanasheng waited for him to leave before saying, "Zero, was that Nakamura a classmate of your parents in Tokyo University?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Gu Ling nodded.

He looked down at the palm of his hand, and frowned as he thought of something.

"He went to the Metropolitan Police Department after graduating from Dongda University." Nanasheng was thoughtful, "If he didn't go to the police academy or the criminal police..."

"There are only a few departments that you can go to." Jiang Gu Ling answered.

The observation skills of the two became sharper and sharper than the other, and at this time the same idea came to mind tacitly.

"Police?" Nanasheng said softly.

Maybe it's because the two of them have mentioned this word too many times recently, and they think of it unconsciously.

If you think about it carefully, the possibility is actually very high.

It is not necessary to graduate from a four-year police academy to become a police officer.

In intelligence departments like the Public Security Bureau, many people are top students who graduated from prestigious schools, and they shine through their professional abilities.

Most of them often sit in the office and do not need to go to the front line to meet the prisoners face to face.

Therefore, as long as you pass the entry test including the written test and physical test, as well as the national civil service examination, and then receive a certain period of training, you can enter the job smoothly. ?

Talented students like Nakamura who graduated from the top universities in the country are inferior in most places.Only the police seemed more suitable for him.

Jiang Gu Ling was in a daze for a few seconds, because of the word Public Security, he suddenly recalled the man who came to visit him not long ago.

Even he himself was still hesitating about that matter, and he didn't know how to talk to Nanasheng.

Nanao didn't miss the flickering daze on Furutani Rei's face.But she thought it was because Nakamura had just mentioned his parents.

"Zero, would you like something to drink?" She looked around, saw no one around, took a bottle of yogurt from the freezer and put it in the shopping cart.

Trying to divert Zero's attention.

But Fugu Ling maintained the movement of rubbing his palm, and suddenly said: "Nakamura... Uncle, there is a gun callus in his hand."

Nana was surprised: "Huh?"

"I touched it when I was shaking hands." Rei Fuguni said, "And I heard from my parents that Uncle Nakamura left the Metropolitan Police Department when I first entered high school, and they didn't know much about their careers. clear."

Nanasheng thought of Nakamura's tall and straight figure, as well as the marks left by the sun on his face all year round, and fell into thinking: "He often plays outdoor activities, insists on exercising, and has gun calluses on his hands... If it is just for sports For the traces of drying, you should pay attention to drying more evenly, plus you have been away from the Metropolitan Police Department for many years, and you still have gun calluses on your hands... This person is a bit suspicious."

Considering Nakamura's status, she said it tactfully.

Jiang Gu Ling stopped in place, did not answer for a while, and his expression was slightly distorted after a while.

"Nanasheng, do you still remember that at the end my mother was holding a Fusa-e purse in her hand?"

"Why did you mention this all of a sudden..."

Nana took advantage of the opportunity to recall the scene that was frozen in the photo.

Ling's mother was curled up under the wall on one side of the alley, her blond hair was scattered on the snow, and she was holding the wallet with the ginkgo leaf logo in her white hands.

At that time, she still felt that the golden ginkgo painted by Fusha matched his mother's hair color very well.

"I was still wondering at that time, after a sudden strong impact, a lot of things on her body fell out, why she was the only one holding the wallet in her hand." shadow.

His eyes were a little blank, "But I suddenly felt just now... the reason why she is holding on to that bag tightly is because of the ginkgo leaves on it?"

Zero's voice fell lightly, but Nanasheng seemed to be awakened suddenly.

Dongdu University has always been famous for its ginkgo.

Not only is the campus full of ginkgo trees, but even the school badge uses two ginkgo leaves of different colors as patterns. It can be said that as long as you mention ginkgo, the University of Tokyo will definitely be one of the first things you think of.

What Zero's mother left behind was a death message that could never be covered up in the wind and snow, and could not be more directional.

"No way..." Nanasheng's mood sank, his tone unconsciously tinged with chill.

Both she and Jiang Gu Ling couldn't believe it.

If that was the case, how dare Nakamura greet Zero on his own initiative?

Knowing that he was at the scene that day, I wanted to test his reaction to see if he recognized me?But Nakamura knew that there had been no progress in this case so far.

And he didn't hesitate to poke Ling's sore spot just now, and wanted to persuade him not to be a policeman, maybe it was because he was afraid that he would re-investigate what happened back then...

Nanasheng couldn't help but think in the direction of conspiracy theory, and felt that everything was right.

A cold light flashed in her eyes.

Standing here and thinking was useless, Jiang Gu Ling simply dropped the shopping cart and went straight out of the supermarket.

He ran all the way back to the police academy, and almost bumped into Zhu Fu Jingguang, Matsuda Jinpei, and Hagiwara Kenji when he entered the dormitory.

"Zero, what are you doing?"

"Why are you so anxious?"

Hagiwara Kenji shook the car key in his hand, "By the way, I borrowed the instructor's RX-7 and said that I would help him drive it for repairs. Let's go for a drive?"

"The squad leader went on a date again. The four of us just made up two couples. How about going to the beach..."

Jiang Gu Ling interrupted him, and directly refused, "Sorry, I have something to do right now."

"Zero?"

The three of them didn't expect him to refuse so simply, they were a little dazed watching Jiang Gu Ling rushing upstairs.

"What's up with him."

"You don't look well..."

They looked at each other.

Jiang Gu Ling entered the dormitory, locked the door directly, and then dragged out the box that was kept under the bed.

Since the last time, neither Nanasheng nor Zero has brought up this topic again, and this cardboard box has been sealed here so naturally.Even though it was placed under the bed, there was still a thin layer of dust.

Jiang Gu Ling wiped it casually, and directly tore off the tape on it.

Dust could be seen floating in the sun, Nanasheng picked up a magazine from the table and fanned it, blowing the dust away in the opposite direction, and heard Fugu Ling say thank you in a low voice.

"Zero, are you sure you want to watch it?" Nana was a little worried as she watched Rei Furutani take out the phone from the cardboard box, charge it, and then press and hold to turn it on.

"I didn't read it before because I had no clue. Now that I have clues, but let the murderer go unpunished, I will feel even more sorry for them." Jiang Guling said, he paused, his voice was cold, "and, I'm a policeman."

Nakamura was also a police officer.

"Okay..." Nana put down the magazine, "I will accompany you."

She wished she could sit in the room right now, shake Zero's hand, or give him a hug.At least I won't feel so powerless on the other side of the screen like I do now.

Jiang Gu Ling opened the photo album, and before clicking on the first photo, he was short of breath.Despite his efforts to restrain himself, his expression was still a little stiff.

Nanasheng couldn't see why, she thought for a second, opened the mall and bought a map.

It is a detailed area map near the accident site.

"Zero, can you help me mark the location of your parents' company and the exact location of the accident?" Nanasheng asked.

Rei Fuguya came back to his senses from the photo, he breathed slowly after hearing this, his face was still ugly, Nana felt a little distressed.

"The company is here, and the accident site is near here." Jiang Gu Ling marked the two locations with a red pen after only one glance.

The accident site is in the northwest corner of the company. When you come out from the south gate of the company, you have to walk for a while after turning right. It is a quite remote and narrow alley, which only allows one car to pass through.

Nanasheng estimated the distance: "From the company, it takes about six or seven minutes to walk, and it may take 7 minutes on a snowy day? But why do they go there?"

The alley used to be an area where office buildings gathered. Jiang Gu Ling’s parents worked overtime until late at night, and it was almost time for the last bus when they left the company. There should be few businesses or companies in that office area open. .

Jiang Gu Ling suddenly stopped talking. He was also estimating the distance, and finally said puzzledly: "No, when I arrived at the company that day, the guard said that my parents had left for 10 minutes."

"I walked for 10 minutes later, and when I was approaching the alley, I just heard the sound of a collision." He said, "When I rushed over, I saw the back of the murderer running into the car."

Nana frowned.

A total of three 10 minutes before and after.

It only takes 10 minutes to walk from the company to the alley, and for the remaining 10 minutes, what are they doing in that empty and remote alley?

She looked at the screen in Zero's hand, probably to confirm the Fusae's bag, and the screen just stopped on the photo of his mother.

Furutani Rei's mother wore a long brown dress, dyed dark brown by the melting snow, her hair was also soaked, and her beautiful blonde hair stuck to her face, covering her facial features, making her look like she was peacefully sunk in fell asleep.

The wet skirt and long hair are evidence that she has been in the snow for a long time without an umbrella.

She has not been indoors.

Nanasheng unconsciously tapped on the table, trying to restore the scene of that night.

In the middle of the night when it was snowing heavily, Ling's parents stayed in this dark and cold alley for a full 10 minutes without an umbrella...

"Are they waiting for someone?"

Rei Fuguni heard Nanasheng's faint knocking sound after another, and felt that she probably didn't even realize that it was her habitual action when she was thinking.

"Wait for someone..." He pondered, "Wait for Nakamura? Why are you so anxious..."

"It's a shameful thing." Nanasheng said softly, "But it has nothing to do with your parents. I guess there is something wrong with their company."

"The police officer investigated the cameras at the time, and none of the nearby main roads captured the car passing by. Even if Nakamura, uh, suppose Nakamura did it, even if he, as a former public security officer, knew the location of the surveillance cameras, it is unlikely. Dodge all cameras completely and drive the car to the port where it was found later."

"I suspect he never got far in the first place."

Nana pointed to the location of the company circled in red on the map.

Jiang Gu Ling reacted immediately: "But if you park the car at the company and wait for the limelight to pass before driving to the port, you can avoid the search."

"Yes, cover it with a piece of cloth, change the license plate, repaint it...or simply park in the special parking space for the company's top management. With such a big company behind it, a car involved in the accident can easily be hidden."

Nanasheng explained, "And what the company said about leaking secrets also sounds very strange. The timing of the disclosure is too good, and the amount is also very clever. It seems that someone is setting a trap."

Let Jiang Guling be exhausted from paying off the debts, and for a long time after that, he didn't have the time to think about the truth of his parents' death.

Nakamura may not be the only one behind this, even Zero's relatives may be involved...

Nana clenched her fists into fists.

"So..." Jiang Gu zero assumed the situation at the time, "My parents may have accidentally discovered some problems in the company at the time, and they didn't know how to solve them, so they rushed to talk to Nakamura, who is a former police officer."

"But Nakamura told the company this information for some reason. They finally decided..." Furutani closed his eyes, "Get rid of my parents."

"Only the other side of the meeting can decide the meeting place. There are not many cameras near the alley, and no one passes by. It is the most suitable place for murder."

He lowered his eyelashes, looking at his father's hand stretched out towards the rut at the last moment in the photo, and the ginkgo leaf tightly held by his mother.

They probably couldn't believe it until they died, that their most trusted college classmates would actually kill them.

[My parents both graduated from Dongdu University, and they have always been very proud of it. 】

Rei Fuguya remembered what he said to Nanasheng before, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

And Nakamura is a policeman...

"If Nakamura really did it, then he is a complete scum." Nanasheng could see what he was thinking. "It has nothing to do with Dongda, and it has nothing to do with the police."

Her voice is calm: "Any organization will have such scum, as long as it is cleared."
