The red side is always blocking my dog ​​leash

When the call came, the white Mazda was driving on the road at night, and the speed pointer was shaking around 180.

"Hello?" He tucked his phone between his ear and his shoulder, focusing on two things.

The other side was silent for a while, and before he got impatient, he finally spoke: "Scotland is dead."

Amidst the screeching brakes, the other party's deep but no longer cold voice reached his ears.

"Feel sorry……"

The Mazda was parked on the side of the road, and the rear taillights cast red shadows on the ground, the color of blood.

Amuro took a deep breath, the phone's sudden vibration interrupted what he was about to say, he took it off and took a look.

"What exactly happened?"

Akai Hideichi wasn't surprised by his calmness. To be honest, Toru Amuro had always impressed him as a criminal with a deep smile on his face, a cunning and dangerous behavior. It's still basically the same, and even added a bad taste.

because……

Until now, Akai Shuichi can recall the villainous face of this guy when he lightly wrote about his FBI identity, as well as his desperate mood at that time. After appreciating his reaction, Amuro Toru smiled, and said cheerfully and sunnyly: "What a coincidence , I am also an undercover agent!"

Absolutely nasty.

Akai Hideichi opened the Chevrolet door, sat in the driver's seat and lit a cigarette for himself, sparks flickered in his eyes.

It is self-evident how important Scotland is to Amuro Toru that such a water-tight guy can take the initiative to find him to cooperate.

After all, he was a fellow member of the Japanese police, so it was rare to hear a request from this man, but he failed to fulfill the request.

I thought I would hear a thank you.

"When I arrived, I was already..." He paused, unable to utter the words he had spoken before, "I was shot in the chest."

Shuichi Akai's reaction was fast enough, he knew much less than Toru Amuro, but he was the first to notice something was wrong, and when he notified Toru Amuro, he had already driven to the direction where Toru Amuro was escaping.

Relying on his strong sense of reconnaissance, he didn't take many forks along the way. When he arrived at the abandoned factory, he quickly confirmed the location through gunfire, but in the end he was still a step behind.

"There was only one man present, but he wasn't the one who did the murder." Akai Hideichi said, "When I went upstairs, I seemed to have seen a man...white, with conspicuous hair color, about 1.7 meters tall, gender unknown."

Because he was in a hurry to find Scotland, he only glanced at it briefly, and the figure also flashed past.So basically nothing was noticed.

"Have you thought of anything?"

Amuro Toru had already learned about the white ghost from Belmode.He was deceived to the point that in a sense, he was partly responsible for this incident. The combination of the unfathomable ghost and the sudden loss of contact with Zhu Fu Jingguang, it is difficult not to make him associate and lose his calm. After that, the tricks that could have been discovered easily got him in, and it was Akai Shuichi who reminded him in the end.

"White Ghost." He said the name, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated. "Let's stop here, Ley."

Akai Shuichi held the phone in front of him, and the page that ended the call stayed for a few seconds and then returned to the desktop. He pressed the screen to turn off the screen, showing a rare expression of ecstasy. Amuro Toru's last thank you, which was barely audible, was still echoing in his mind .

He...hasn't finished speaking yet.

Akai Hideichi took out the cigarette, held it between his two fingers and stretched it out of the car window, and quickly edited an email by typing with one hand.

The body of the Scottish team was driven away by two low-level personnel. It was inconvenient for him to catch up. He stood on the roof and observed for a while with the sniper scope in the trunk. It was not difficult to tell that their destination was Tokyo Bay.

Toru Amuro ignored the prompt box that popped up above, he had been staring at a line of words for a while in a daze, and the sender's address had become familiar to the point of being unfamiliar after staring at it for so long.

He closed his sore eyes, restarted the car, and a beautiful tail flick caused the car body to rotate 180 degrees, speeding towards the direction it came from.

After editing the content with one hand, he pressed send, and soon received a reply. He glanced at it and quickly deleted it.

He was supposed to get rid of the people who were staring at Qiu Zeyao's apartment last night, but in the end he hesitated and decided to wait until this incident was over before removing them, so it came in handy now.

Qiu Zeyao came back once this morning, stayed for four hours and 23 minutes and left again, whereabouts are unknown.

He didn't deliberately find someone to follow him, because he would be discovered.The previous time was just staying in the place where Zhu Fu Jingguang was in advance.So when it comes to people, this time it is truly unknown—not necessarily.

Toru Amuro pursed his lips tightly, Mazda turned into white lightning and came to Chiyoda District, near a high-end apartment in a blink of an eye.

Picking the lock would leave unnecessary traces, and he didn't want to gamble on Akizawa Yao's sensitivity.So it was the unoccupied residents upstairs on the other side who pried, and then turned over from the balcony.

The clean and cold decoration layout, he gave a puzzled glance at the room that was supposed to be the kitchen, and then came to the bedroom.

"Uh..." His previous guess was confirmed, but instead he took a breath and pinched the sides of his forehead in pain.

Yoshi Akizawa and the white ghost equate, and Toru Amuro doubts the composition of this world for a moment.

Is the organization undercover in the police?

If he is really a ghost, becoming a policeman should be Akizawa Yao's own choice. His duties in the organization only include killing people, and being an undercover agent is just an unnecessary burden to him.

But why would a police officer who graduated from the police academy get involved with the scavengers in the organization?

Toru Amuro had thought about asking Akizawa Yoshio to help Mr. A, so that after the fact of his deception was exposed, Mr. A could have a reliable home. Now it seems...

It always felt that the more he discovered, the closer his sanity was to the edge of the landslide.

He rubbed his throbbing temples, and stepped forward to wake up Zhu Fu Jingguang who was lying on the bed.

For Zhu Fu Jingguang, his memory still stays in dressing up as a drunk and walking on the alley, but when he opened his eyes again, he saw the complicated expression on his friend's face.

"Bourbon?" he asked blankly.

Toru Amuro opened his mouth, calling out this title for the first time since his rebirth: "King (hiro)."

"Zero..." Zhu Fu Jingguang noticed the change in him, and quickly changed his words, "You still owe me an explanation."

Toru Amuro is still in the process of reorganizing his thinking. The information in his mind is entangled, like a ball of yarn. The more he tries to sort it out, the more messy the ball of yarn becomes.Facing Zhu Fu Jingguang's probing eyes, he paused and decided to start from the beginning.

"Although it sounds like the plot of a tall tale, I did—"

Zhu Fu Jingguang blinked: "What?"

"—" was blocked.Toru Amuro frowned, this was the first time he had talked about this matter with others, and he had never thought of such a possibility before.

Like forbidden words, they are not allowed to be spoken.

The current plot is even more bizarre than absurd fiction. After all, such things as rebirth are inherently unscientific.He accepted it quickly, and after trying to use hints to no avail, he changed his words decisively.

"I mean, I do have one person I want to protect — a member of the organization."

Zhu Fu Jingguang: "Montes?"

"It's Mr. A..." Amuro Toru paused, showing a headache expression, "It seems that there may be two of them now."

"Huh?" Zhu Fu Jingguang was very puzzled, but he believed that his friend must have his own reasons.So I barely resisted the desire to complain, and said, "Be more specific."

As for the time issue, Toru Amuro briefly talked about his involuntary and kind-hearted judgment on Mr. A. For the part involving privacy, he vaguely described the past of the experimental subject as losing his memory for some reason.

Zhu Fu Jingguang digested it for a while: when Mr. A lost his memory.Because of his talent, he was recruited into the organization by Rum, and his identities on the surface were forged by the organization. With nowhere to go, he had to stay in the organization. He did all kinds of bad things but his nature was good...

"You knew it when we met for the first time?" Zhu Fu Jingguang thought of Amuro Toru's unusual reaction before, so he asked.

He did not doubt Toru Amuro's judgment.But the child's spikes were so misleading that anyone who looked at him would think he was a bad person through and through.

Toru Amuro said, "That's not the first time Mr. A and I met."

It's easy to say this kind of edge ball.

Zhu Fu Jingguang asked again: "You should have a good relationship with him now, right?"

I can't say it's very good, it should be very good.Toru Amuro's expression was a little unnatural. At the beginning, he just didn't want Mr. A to experience this alone, or the idea of ​​pulling the other party out of the quagmire was too urgent. When he realized it, Mr. A, who was still in a state of doubt, suddenly The attitude changed drastically, and the relationship between the two was like a rocket.

A liar who took advantage of the situation turned out to be the closest person to the other party.

He coughed guiltyly: "Well... very good. He lives with me now."

Zhu Fu Jingguang narrowed his eyes: "Zero, you..."

This reaction was very wrong, he frowned: "You didn't do something to offend him, did you?"

Toru Amuro coughed violently, and his guilt was palpable. He explained in the complicated eyes of his friend: "It's not that kind of aspect. Although it is indeed a deceitful feeling, it is not that kind of feeling."

Zhu Fujing Guang raised his arms and questioned with his eyes.

It was difficult for Amuro Toru to organize his words.

"I should have told him my identity from the very beginning." He smiled wryly at the end, "It's not going to be like this now."

In a dilemma, he can only maintain a false scam like this.

That is to say, but even if he does it again, Amuro will not reveal the truth without completely confirming the other party's position.

Zhu Fu Jingguang knew this, and Amuro Toru also knew it, but he still regretted this inevitable choice.

"It seems that he is very important to you." Zhu Fu Jingguang thought of the boy's face that night, and the other party did not disappoint the importance.They value each other very much.

"Honestly, it's hard not to like him," Amuro said frankly.

Rational, firm, kind, and gentle. At the beginning, when he realized what kind of situation Mr. A was in, Toru Amuro couldn't help but appreciate that the other party walked alone in the dark for so long, but still insisted on his beliefs, and even a little admire.Because he knows how hard it is and he can't do it himself.

As we continue to get along, Mr. A's shortcomings are gradually exposed.For example, he likes to stay in bed, hates coriander and celery to the extreme, intermittently picky eaters, avoids training, and will stay up until the early morning if he lacks discipline. .

Before he really gained the trust of Mr. A, his performance has been flawless.No matter how tiring the training is, he will not complain, and he can keep silent even if he is injured. If he does not specifically ask, he will never reveal any thoughts. He behaves like an obedient puppet.

But Toru Amuro knew that under that layer of skin, he was judging everything with rational eyes, cautiously and soberly.

And... the underestimation of oneself.

Mr. A undoubtedly cares about his own life, but he doesn't care that much. He will do his best when he can survive.

But when the real death comes, he can accept it calmly, and even give up himself without hesitation to save a person who has only met once.

Toru Amuro closed his eyes. The uncertainty that he might die at any time also made him even more eager to find a rope to tie the other party.

Zhu Fu Jingguang was surprised for a moment, and said: "Mr. A also likes you very much, because your intentions are true. If you tell him this matter and apologize properly, you will be forgiven. You can apply for him as a stain." Witness, or . . . make him an assister."

can you?

The real problem is deceit. He knows how cautious and difficult Mr. A is, and the other party may indeed forgive him because of his good intentions.But their relationship is forever riven.

If Toru Amuro didn't have such sincere feelings, he might feel guilty for hurting Mr. A's feelings, but he would definitely not hesitate because of this.

It is undeniable that although he lied about wanting to be a family member, Toru Amuro did put Mr. A in the position of a protected person. This kind of feeling mixed with guilt, appreciation, admiration, and pity is far better than that of family members. It's a lot more complicated.

Amuro said, "I know."

Zhu Fu Jingguang knew that his friend would not do this.After all, the person who made friends with Mr. A was Amuro Toru, and the other party thought more than him. As an outsider, Zhu Fujingguang couldn't point fingers, so he simply chose to change the topic.

"What about the other one to protect?"

"It's the owner of this house." Toru Amuro felt a slight toothache because he still hadn't figured it out, "Yao Akizawa."

Akizawa Yao and Zhu Fu Jingguang knew that Toru Amuro said just now that the police officer who made Mr. A lie in the hospital for three months was beaten up by Matsuda, Hagiwara and Toru Amuro.

He looked around the bedroom and realized that there were indeed people living here, and he had just woken up from the bed here.

"What does this matter have to do with him, why am I here? And... what's the situation in the organization now?"

Toru Amuro took a deep breath, and began to tell him about how he met Yoshiaki Akizawa in the Yuexia clubhouse, and how the latter went out today, a white-haired figure appeared in the abandoned factory, and killed Scotland. Acquaintance, good relationship, and possible hacker etc.

"So you suspect that he is a white ghost?" Zhu Fu Jingguang also thought it was possible, but he put forward another point of view, "Could it be Mr. A? White hair can be solved with only a bottle of hair dye. Rinse it off."

Toru Amuro subconsciously vetoed: "No, he..."

He has been Montes until his death, but there is really no conclusive evidence that Mr. A is not a member of the ghost. Even thinking about it carefully, when the ghost is active, the sense of existence of Montes becomes quite weak...

After jumping out of the stereotyped thinking, he quickly realized that Mr. A was indeed more likely than Yao Akizawa, who had graduated from the police academy and joined the Metropolitan Police Department step by step.

And if you start from this aspect, you can also find things that you couldn't figure out before.

Only one thing -

Mr. A can be said to be taught by him. He should be very clear about the current strength of the other party. None of the things that the white ghost does is the type that Mr. A can retreat completely.

If the two are really the same person, Toru Amuro dare not think about how many times Mr. A has wandered around the gate of hell in places he doesn't know.

"I will go to verify this possibility." His voice was a little dry.

Zhu Fu Jingguang patted him on the shoulder, "What is certain now is that the police officer Qiu Ze was indeed involved in the organization, but he is not sure whether he has anything to do with the organization. If not, this time the matter is still It would be better not to have a next time, if what he did was noticed by the organization..."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Because Mr. A is already in the quagmire of the organization, if Qiu Zeyao really has nothing to do with the organization, he is such a righteous person, and he will never let Mr. A stay in it.

Toru Amuro speculates that Mr. A probably doesn't want Akizawa Yoo to participate either.So I didn't tell the whole story, I just asked for help this time as a last resort...

Wouldn't it be more convenient to ask yourself for help?

Amuro frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Fu Jingguang thought for a while, "Do you completely exclude Mr. A from the back of your plan? The protection is too much."

Toru Amuro: "Oh."

To always regard himself as a protector is also a kind of conceit and arbitrariness, he realizes this.

If Mr. A is really a white ghost, then he is much more powerful than he thought.

He grew up very fast, but he always looked at Mr. A with the eyes of the future.And because of his previous experience, Toru Amuro actually had a slight PTSD about Mr. A being in danger, so he was indeed overprotective.

Accustomed to seeing Mr. A's obedient and self-willed side, he has almost forgotten how the other party looks when facing the enemy.

Indifferent and sharp, as if nothing can shake it, absolute execution and zero failure.

The phone vibrated, and Toru Amuro clicked on it to check.

"Officer Akizawa is back."

There are at most 3 minutes before the opponent can come to the door.

"You go..." Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled, apparently having thought about it before, "Since he will definitely participate in the organization's affairs, then I should be able to cooperate with him. And we are still colleagues, he saved I must thank you no matter what.”

"You..." Amuro paused for a moment. The policeman who failed undercover can no longer contact the original case. He knew that Zhu Fujingguang would not be willing to stay in the headquarters, and watched other people fight against this organization. "Alright, Metropolitan Police Department I don't know how many people from the organization... be careful not to be exposed."

"Don't worry, Officer Qiu Ze will not be implicated." Zhu Fu Jingguang said.If this happens, he will not forgive himself.

Toru Amuro turned back from the balcony, and only after Akizawa Yo entered the house did he quickly go downstairs and leave.

"Who are you, where is this? Why am I here?"

When he uttered these questions, Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't reveal any flaws by relying on his acting skills honed during his undercover period.

Vigilance still needs to be improved.He looked at Akizawa Yao's whirling white hair and thought so.

Although it is at home, there should be other people in this home.

Qiu Zeyao was stunned, and he quickly glanced at the description of the item.

"Sleeping Beauty's magic..."

"Only 10 hours of fairy tales, you don't think you can really sleep for 100 years, do you? Shhh, sweet dreams, don't wake Sleeping Beauty."

That's right, that's right, he did stack three layers, for a total of [-] hours. That's right, Sleeping Beauty should wake up in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Zhu Fu Jingguang is not Kudo Shinichi, the world does not give him a cheat, and the props are effective for him, so it will not be discounted, right?

But this is indeed the first time he has used a non-instant item on someone else, and he can't make a conclusion whether it will be discounted...

The system was even more confused: probably not.But it is not clear about the current situation, so ask the headquarters.

Akizawa Yo: ...

He was silent for too long, until Zhu Fu Jingguang began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his actions, he finally said: "I am Qiu Zeyao, a police officer in the Police Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, number DAXXXX...here It is my home, you are temporarily placed here to avoid exposure."

"Can you let me go first, Officer Zhu Fu?"

Qiu Zeyao has already looked at all the items that can make people lose their memory. They are all similar to the type of biscuits, and they cannot be used in combination.Because it is said that the ingredients in it are the same, it can only work once.

But Zhu Fu Jingguang has been awake for an unknown amount of time, as long as the other party searches the room for a while, the police handbook and graduation certificate are in the cabinet next to the bed, and his name and photo are clearly printed on them.

The suppressing strength disappeared, and Qiu Zeyao stood up from the ground thinking about it.He looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang who was standing aside, who was also watching him with those warm and clear eyes.

The pigment-deficient police officer took off his overcoat as he entered, and was wearing a warm white sweater with a turtleneck, which contrasted with his sharp face.

"Police?" Zhu Fu Jingguang said calmly, "Is this an arrangement from above?" It's hard not to think about this aspect of the rhetoric just now.

"No..." Qiu Zeyao patted the fine dust on his clothes, and spoke quickly, "Obviously my position and level are not qualified to contact related incidents, I was just entrusted to help. But I can't Tell you who that person is.

You can leave to report to the headquarters at any time, but be careful not to attract attention.Because you are dead now.as well as……"

"I hope you can keep it a secret, about me."

Zhu Fu Jingguang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled. He didn't know how to describe the white-haired police officer...Honestly, the other party didn't even say a word in the last request, it's because I saved you , as if he had great trust in his character.

"I will..." He wouldn't say it, if others already knew, there was nothing he could do.

Zhu Fujingguang paused, and continued, "But I can't go back to the headquarters for the time being. That organization...it has a lot of eyeliners in the Metropolitan Police Department. After I go back, the fake death will be exposed soon. Without you, all your hard work would be in vain."

Qiu Zeyao exposed him: "You can contact people you trust and return to the team secretly. They will arrange for you a new identity and three years of strict protection. You are safe."

"Okay..." Zhu Fu Jingguang smiled helplessly, "Actually, I am not reconciled. After I go back this time, the matter of that organization has nothing to do with me."

"So?" Qiu Zeyao tugged at the collar unnaturally, the clothes made him feel breathless.But it covers the neck so well that a little blemish doesn't matter for its effect.

"Can I live here for a while? The rent is five times the normal rate. I can take care of all the housework and I'm good at cooking." Zhu Fu Jingguang said, "It won't cause you any trouble."

Qiu Zeyao was a little moved, only a little bit, he tensed his expression: "You can rent a high-end apartment outside at this price, the environment is much better than here, and you don't need to be someone's housekeeper."

Zhu Fu Jingguang was very frank: "But with you, I can obtain information from the organization and the Metropolitan Police Department at the same time."

Akizawa Yo?

He said in a cold voice, "I won't reveal anything."

"Compared to ordinary police who are watched 24 hours a day, a person who has lost his identity is more useful. It must have taken a lot of effort for you and your friend to save me. I can do whatever I can Open your mouth." Zhu Fu Jingguang's expression was sincere.

"No, ka... That guy doesn't need it, and neither do I."

He spent a lot of effort and risked being cleared by the organization to save the undercover agent, but in the end he didn't ask for anything in return. Anyone would think he was a saint.

Qiu Zeyao knew that he had a reason to do it, but he couldn't say, "We've got what we wanted."

Getting what you want...does it mean saving him?

To talk about the usefulness of this matter, Zhu Fujing looked thoughtful, and the only thing he could think of was commuting the sentence.

He then said, "I can help you apply as a tainted witness."

Akizawa Yao shook his head.

His mission should have been completed before the organization was shattered, and it would not be left until the trial or interrogation.

So it doesn't matter what these things are. Mr. A waited for Toru Amuro to rebel against him, and he just wanted to express his determination to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, so that they would not stand on opposing positions and eventually their relationship would deteriorate.

"If you have to help, then keep it a secret for us." He said, "As for borrowing, you can stay if you want, the rent is not required, and the rest is as you said... The guest room is empty , buy what you need.”

Through the conversation just now, he has fully understood the other party's determination to fight the organization to the end.

It's a little surprising, but after all, Zhu Fu Jingguang's surface is gentle and gentle, but in fact he also has a rebellious character, so it makes sense to make such a decision... right...

In short, his mission has been completed, and it doesn't matter whether Zhu Fu Jingguang lives or dies afterwards...

Although this is the case, if a person really dies, wouldn't he waste so much effort, at least he has to live to be 80 years old and become a toothless grandfather to be worthy of him!

At that time, five people will play UNO at a table in the nursing home. If lovers are added, it will be exactly ten people full.

Qiu Zeyao nodded secretly. When he looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang, he seemed to foresee the future of five old men who couldn't even get a mouthful of teeth through him. If you stay, sleep on the sofa."

He gestured in the direction of the door.
