guardians are whiskey group

The sun gradually rises from the sky, dispelling the night, and the golden light shines on the white snow in an instant.

The new year's sunrise symbolizes the beauty and blessings of the new year.

"Bourbon."

cried Scotland hoarsely.

The shoulders of Bourbon, who held Juliep and remained motionless until dawn, shook his head, and his bangs slipped through his eyes like stagnant water.

The cell phone in his arms vibrated constantly.

"it's me."

He answered the phone with his usual voice, and Belmode's laughter came from the opposite side.

"It looks very energetic. I thought you would hide somewhere and cry?"

"How come, Mint Zhu Lipu has been confirmed dead, what should I do with her body, should I just throw it away?"

Neither Rye nor Scotland spoke, only Bourbon's hearty voice echoed in the silent room.

"Ah, send it to the organization for inspection. If there is no problem, just send it to cremation. The police caught Xiaotiaoyou Nanase, what a troublesome guy."

"However, that kid named Xiaoniao Youjin is really amazing." She gloated in her tone: "You didn't see the face of Ginjiu. After a busy night, no one was caught and nothing was caught. What a new year." good sign."

"Xiaotiaoyou Sumire not only handed over the evidence of Xiaotiaoyou Nanase's kidnapping of children to the police, but also took away all the materials about his research, including the funds given to him by the organization, all—along with the flames. It was taken."

"However, such an organization doesn't need to expend effort to obliterate Xiaoniaoyou Nanase. After all, no one will believe what he says now. The only thing the police can find out is that he is a perverted murderer who abducts, sells and brutally kills children."

After a night of blizzard, the first day of the New Year had exceptionally good weather. Scotland opened the window and put the healed bird on the balcony. It tilted its head, as if it wanted to bid farewell to the girl.

"Let's go, Zhu... Berry can't say goodbye to you." Scotland said softly, "There is no danger outside, you can fly freely now."

Not knowing if he understood the Scottish words, the bird spread its wings and left.

Julep's examination was done by Miyano Shiho, who reached out and gently touched the girl's cheek with closed eyes.

That warmth is gone.

"You idiot, don't get as cold as ice cream."

She complained in a low voice and fell with tears.

After inspection, Xiaoniaoyoukui's body was unable to provide the organization with anything useful for this experiment.

It's just the body of a dead girl, nothing special.

After submitting the report, Miyano Shiho watched the three men pick up the girl, and then she will be sent to the crematorium, and the final destination will be the sea.

"So, I'm a scientist in a very powerful organization!" The man with stubble on his face and red eyes yelled, "You can't do this to me! They use me very much and will definitely come to rescue me !"

Matsuda Jinpei's clenched fist loosened again, and after the man's last word fell, he finally couldn't help walking over and grabbing his collar.

"Listen to me, you scum."

He suppressed his angry and cold voice, and successfully stopped Kotori Yunanase's chattering mouth, he did not dare to meet Matsuda Jinpei's sharp eyes.

"I don't care if you're pretending to be crazy here, or if there is such a broken organization, in the end, no matter what, you will be punished by the law, and so will they!"

Xiaoniaoyou Nanase kept shouting when she was taken away at the end.

"I don't want to go to prison, I don't want to go to prison! Kill me! Kill me!!"

"For this kind of people, this is the ending more terrible than death." Kenji Hagiwara, who has insight into people's hearts, said.

"He deserves it!" Matsuda said angrily.

At this time, Hagiwara Kenji's phone rang, and he blinked when he saw the caller ID.

At the gate of the Sunshine Orphanage, the old headmaster said anxiously to Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji who came over, "Someone suddenly donated a lot of flowers this morning."

The old man hesitated to speak, but the two of them knew very well that she should be vigilant after going through that kind of thing just now.

"Please rest assured, we will be responsible for the inspection!" Hagiwara Kenji said with a smile.

The person who came to deliver the flowers drove a cute little van with graffiti on it, and the children gathered around the car happily, and a man wearing a peaked cap distributed pots to each child.

Getting closer, Matsuda Jinping saw the tattoo under the brim of his hat.

"Hey."

He yelled, and the man raised his head. Although he had scary tattoos on his face, he looked very kind.

Seeing the two staring at the tattoo on his face, he immediately explained.

"I used to be a bad guy! But now I'm a flower shop owner with a business license!"

"Can I show this to my brother?" Kenji Hagiwara bent down and said softly to a girl. The child nodded and gave his flower pot to Kenji Hagiwara generously.

"Who ordered these?"

During Hagiwara Kenji's inspection, Matsuda Jinpei asked.

"This is the privacy of the guests, and we cannot disclose it to others casually."

Matsuda Jinping took out his police ID with no expression on his face.

The man hissed.

"Even if it's the police... I can't betray my eldest sister." He muttered.

"Ah? What did you say?!"

"Xiao Zhenping!"

Hagiwara Kenji let out an exclamation, and Matsuda Jinpei immediately turned his head: "Is it a bomb?!"

"No..." Hagiwara Kenji looked serious, and held up the transparent bag dug out of the flowerpot soil to his eyes. It was a bag for packing small biscuits, and the bread inside was indeed not biscuits.

It's a gem and a card.

[This gem is given to you.It will be one of your backups when you need help in the future.In the end, I hope you can spend your childhood as shining as gems—Akana. 】

After he examined it, he gave it to the girl, and she held it up to the sun in amazement, and exclaimed at the gem's brilliance in the sun.

Other children also dug out their own gems from the flowerpots without flowers.

"Ah! Be careful, there are still seeds in it!"

The man tried to stop him in a panic, but was grabbed by Matsuda Jinpei.

"Now explain?"

The man's Adam's apple rolled up and down, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's my cousin from afar. She loves charity activities recently, so she bought gems and donated them to the children!"

Matsuda Jinpei: "You kid, do you think this kind of lie has fooled the police?"

"Can't you?!"

The man hugged his head in pain: "Damn it, I'm really not good at lying or reading! I'm sorry big sister!"

"What does this have to do with reading? Hurry up..."

"Little Jinpei." Hagiwara Ken clasped Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder with his second hand and shook his head.

"Let's stop here. This is a legal donation. Since the person behind it doesn't want to reveal it, it must be because of her difficulties, and—" He gave a thumbs up and said cheerfully: "Isn't it written on it, Akana? ! This is also a gift from a magical girl!"

Matsuda Zhenping patted his hand away expressionlessly, and took a big step back.

"You can explain this to Police Officer Megure in the future, don't try to drag me into the water this time, I will really beat you."

Hagiwara Kenji: "Well, I refuse."

"Big Brother likes Akana too!"

"We all love Akana the most!"

At the mention of this name, the children gathered around the two detectives and looked at them with shining eyes.

Young tamers look at each other.

Hagiwara Kenji: I can’t say it, I can’t say it if I say I haven’t seen it at this time!What to do, Xiaozhenping!

Matsuda Jinpei: Use your invincible insight to find a way.

Hagiwara Kenji:?That's not how it works! !

When I came back to my senses, the cherry blossoms had already bloomed, and the pink cherry blossoms were like snow falling one after another. Under the bright sunshine, they floated into the distance with romantic pink.

Scotland had just finished cleaning the apartment, and he was in a daze when he saw the cherry blossom tree opposite.

When the child came, it was also the time when the cherry blossoms bloomed.

Since then, the Whiskey Group, who had been working together as a team, broke up. They occasionally exchanged information, as if the days of living together were a dream, and everyone changed back to being unfamiliar with each other and familiar with each other when necessary.

Logically speaking, they should return this safe house.

But no one said they wanted to quit until the last time they left.

The rent is paid by the three of them in turn every month, except that he and Ley occasionally come here to discuss some things.

Bourbon never set foot here again.

It seems that as long as you step here, the scarred wound will be torn open again.

He didn't smile anymore either.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bourbon laughed when he heard that he had such thoughts, "I laugh every day."

Scotland sighed, "You know exactly what I mean."

Bourbon's smile disappeared, and there was no smile in his purple-gray eyes since then.

"I just discovered that it's not that hard to hold back a smile."

"... Bourbon."

"Stop talking, Scotland." He lowered his head, suppressing something: "Stop saying anything."

They all understood that the child who made them let go of their guard and stand and laugh from the bottom of their hearts was gone.

Down in Scotland, I ran into a family of three who lived here. They smiled and nodded to him, and the child who was being held by his parents said distressedly.

"Mom, when will I grow up?"

"Come on, you will grow up soon." Mother smiled and comforted.

They passed Scotland, and the dark-haired youth put on a hood to hide his emotions.

After the child died, he had two dreams. One dream was that he sank into the deep sea and kept falling towards the depths.

Just when he thought he was going to drown in the deep sea, fragments of light penetrated in and touched his cheek tenderly. In the blink of an eye, the light turned into a child's hand.

The girl made of light grabbed his wrist and sent him to the shore.

Even if he couldn't see the face clearly, he knew it was Berry.

In the second dream, he dreamed that the child was wearing the uniform of a certain high school. They attended her entrance ceremony during the cherry blossom season and helped her take photos commemorating her growth at the school gate.

After waking up, he looked at Ye Ying outside the window and had to face reality.

No matter how the seasons change, no matter how many springs will come as promised, that girl will never appear again.

A few years later--

"Mint Julep? Of course I know."

"It's a cocktail made with bourbon whiskey, sugar, ice, and mint. What do you ask for this?"

On the way to school, the boy wearing glasses blurted out the answer and asked suspiciously: "Is this related to the question we are talking about now?"

"Of course it's related." The tea-haired girl said coldly, "This code name once belonged to a child in the organization."

"What?!" The boy's suddenly shrunken pupils shook violently, "Hey! Could it be—!!"

"That's right." The brown-haired girl raised the corners of her mouth, showing a mature smile that didn't belong to her age, "The person you are looking for now is her."

"A person who has died, but reappeared—the undead."
