On the degree of adaptation between the police academy team and the guardian egg

the next day.

When Kaoru Karasuma woke up, he felt that his pain had disappeared and he was refreshed, although he felt a little hot.

It's already summer, but it's still covered with a thick duvet, how can it not be hot?

Kaoru Karasuma raised her foot and kicked off the quilt.

...and failed to kick it away.

The whole quilt was tied tightly around her body.

Kaoru Karasuma twisted herself into a caterpillar, and finally managed to break free from the shackles of the quilt.

Breathing the slightly cool air, she took a deep breath, raised her legs and "slapped" them on the heavy quilt, put her head on the pillow, raised her hands upwards, and stretched vigorously.

"Officer Karasuma, good morning."

The sudden sound made Karasuma's movements jerk.

She turned her head stiffly, and met Amuro Toru's slightly smiling grey-purple eyes.

Kaoru Karasuma: "!"

Kaoru Karasuma remembered that she had a fever yesterday, and Mr. Furutani gave her medicine...he, he was still in the room, and it seemed that he hadn't slept all night...was he taking care of himself all the time?

Kaoru Karasuma "whoosh" retracted his hands and feet that were fluttering in the air, and retracted into the quilt all at once, the movement was so fast that afterimages appeared.

"Mr. Amuro, good morning." She only showed a pair of eyes from under the quilt, "I'm sorry to trouble you last night..."

Karasuma Kaoru's inner villain is about to cry but is stamping his feet vigorously—why does his boss always see his embarrassment? !Her image disappeared again and again.

Toru Amuro saw Kaoru Karasuma's little embarrassment, and thoughtfully did not mention the scene he saw just now, and put his hand on her forehead to check her temperature.

"Well, the fever has subsided." Toru Amuro smiled at Kaoru Karasuma, "Is Officer Karasuma getting up? The police station in Ashiya City sent the police over half an hour ago."

Karasuma nodded quickly.

"Then I'll go outside to check the situation first." Anshi Toru poured a cup of warm water and put it next to the bedside table, walked out of the room, and closed the door.

Karasuma breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the door close.

After she washes up and puts on the clothes that were dried yesterday, the outside is almost done.

The group went to the Ashiya City Police Station together.

After finishing the record, Kaoru Karasuma went to the real estate management department non-stop to complete the transfer procedures.

——As for the golden clock, Saito Naoichiro proposed to take it away, but Kaoru Karasuma did not stop him, and in exchange, asked them to move away immediately.

It was already afternoon when Kaoru Karasuma completed a series of procedures and came out of the housing management office holding the real estate certificate.

She starts her Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Matsuda Jinpei, Hagiwara Kenji and Mofuku Keimitsu sat in the passenger seat in a row.

Just then, a white Mazda stopped beside her.

The car window was rolled down, revealing Amuro Toru's sunny and handsome Ikemian face, his signature smile was as bright as the blond hair on top of his head.

"What a coincidence, Officer Karasuma, we meet again."

Hearing a familiar voice, Matsuda Jinhei flew to the window, put his elbows on the edge of the car window, and propped his chin to reveal the half-moon eyes: "Why is this blond bastard again? Even after watching it several times, I still can't help it." The guy who is used to Jianggu's overly bright smile makes my skin crawl."

Kenji Hagiwara leaned on Matsuda Jinpei's shoulders: "Isn't Furuya's smile pretty good, it's my true story."

Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at Toru Amuro who seemed to be wearing a semi-permanent mask, and sighed softly.

Kaoru Karasuma looked over the three little heads lying on the car window, and looked at Toru Amuro: "Mr. Amuro hasn't returned to Tokyo yet?"

She remembered that Toru Amuro came with the children from the Detective Boys. The Detective Boys went back, but Toru Amuro hasn't gone back yet?

Mr. Jiang Gu will never target indiscriminately. If he stays in Ashiya City and finds him, he will definitely take action.

"I'm from Ashiya." Amuro said with a smile, "It's rare to come back, and I plan to stay for two more days. Is Officer Karasuma in a hurry? If you are not in a hurry to go back, I will treat you to dinner."

Kaoru Karasuma blinked his eyes, feeling that he understood something, looked around vigilantly, and cooperated calmly: "Okay."

Kaoru Karasuma drove her pink Rolls-Royce Phantom behind the white Mazda and drove all the way to a private restaurant.

In the private room, Kaoru Karasuma closed the doors and windows to confirm that there were no bugs or micro-cameras, and then said: "Mr. Amuro, is there any mission? Is there any crime in this restaurant?"

Toru Amuro looked at Kaoru Karasuma's seriously serious expression, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Officer Karasuma, you misunderstood, I just like the side dishes of this restaurant very much, so I want to share it with Officer Karasuma. "

Karasuma couldn't believe it.

But since Toru Amuro said so, she didn't ask any further questions, and sat down to enjoy a delicious meal - this restaurant tastes really good, especially in line with her taste.

After the meal, Toru Amuro fumbled in his pocket, and suddenly remembered something, showing a slightly embarrassed expression of apology: "Oops, I seem to have left my key in the Twilight Annex."

Kaoru Karasuma suddenly realized.

It turned out that Mr. Furuya wanted to go to the Twilight Annex.

Also, the Twilight Annex tragedy caused by Renye Karasuma 40 years ago has not yet been investigated. The black organization in charge of their zero team has also revealed that it has a relationship with the Karasuma family. Mr. Furuya regards the Twilight Annex as an investigation The breakthrough is also a matter of course.

But why didn't Mr. Jiang Gu talk to himself directly?

If you are afraid that the wall has ears, you can also use your work email to contact yourself?

Why go around such a big circle?

Mr. Furutani has been conscientiously playing the role of "Toru Amuro", every move is in line with Toru Amuro's personality...

correct!

Karasuma Kaoru showed a suddenly realized expression.

Mr. Furutani is using this subtle way of setting an example to remind her that the secret that Toru Amuro is Rei Furutani must never be exposed. No matter whether anyone is watching or listening, she must treat Toru Amuro with the same attitude. to treat him.

If she is used to dealing with Toru Amuro in the same way she treats Mr. Furutani, it will be very easy to reveal her secrets in times of crisis and emergency. The dormant task failed.

She thought it was too simple before.

Even if there is a showdown with Mr. Jiang Gu, you still have to be vigilant at all times, but this time it is not Mr. Jiang Gu who needs to be vigilant, but the probing eyes from the outside world.

Life is like a drama, and drama is like life. It's time to integrate acting skills into life.

Karasuma learned another lesson.

As expected of Mr. Furuya!

Kaoru Karasuma also acted: "Then let's go back to the Twilight Annex first, anyway, it's only less than half an hour away."

"Then I'll trouble Officer Karasuma." The smile on Toru Amuro's face deepened.

Today's meal is a restaurant and dishes specially selected by Toru Amuro based on the taste and preferences of Kaoru Karasuma.After doing what he liked, Officer Karasuma was really easy to talk to.

——Toru Amuro wants to investigate the Twilight Annex, but he doesn't want to use the method of illegal search on his juniors.Of course, he could also give orders directly as Jiang Gu Ling, and Karasuma would probably agree to the orders of her superiors, but it was impossible to know whether she would leave a knot in her heart because of this.

That's why Toru Amuro adopted this euphemistic hint.

If Kaoru Karasuma didn't want her place to be searched, she could go to the Twilight Villa by herself and get the key he left there on purpose.

If Kaoru Karasuma doesn't mind, then let him go to the Twilight Annex with her.

Seeing Kaoru Karasuma's attitude, the other party doesn't mind, but a little... eager to try?

With such enthusiasm for work, Officer Karasuma is really a conscientious public security officer!

Toru Amuro felt very relieved to have such a reliable junior and subordinate.

**

The two drove to the Twilight Villa.

It was dusk now, and the blood-like setting sun hung far away in the western sky, coating the Twilight Villa with a layer of golden tulle.

Toru Amuro and Kaoru Karasuma parked the car in the backyard and walked into the Twilight Annex.

Saito mother and son have already moved away, and they took everything they could take away, and the house was empty.

Amuro picked up a bunch of keys under the sofa.

Karasuma couldn't help sighing: "Fortunately, this sofa is fixed on the floor, otherwise it will be moved away, and your key will not be found by then."

"Mr. Amuro, let's look around and see what else is left."

The two began to investigate in the villa logically.

Because the furniture and murals that could be moved were all removed, it was easy to investigate. They wandered all the way to the study on the third floor in a short while.

The study was also empty, only a piano was left in place.

"Hey, this piano is also there." Karasuma couldn't help sighing.

"Oh?" Toru Amuro keenly noticed that this piano seems to have another story, "Is there anything worth noting about this piano?"

Kaoru Karasuma told Toru Amuro about the line of small bloody characters she saw under the piano before.

Toru Amuro bent down and took a closer look at the blood letters on the bottom of the piano, frowning slightly.

This code is not as simple as Karasuma Kaoru said.

The time she had deduced from this signal before on the clock face was at night was just a mistake.

The code at the bottom of the piano corresponds to another mechanism.

Toru Amuro stroked his chin in thought for a moment, then opened the piano cover, and began to play on the keys.

Toru Amuro was wearing a simple white shirt standing in front of the black piano, the cuffs rolled up to the elbows, his muscles were beautiful and smooth, and his five fingers were flexibly playing on the keys.The setting sun slanted on him through the window, leaving half of his body in the sun's rays while the other half was submerged in darkness.

Strength and beauty are vividly expressed in him.

Karasuma couldn't help but be amazed: "Mr. Amuro, you can play the piano!"

Information gathering, fighting, cooking, car skills, music... She just wanted to ask if there is anything that Mr. Jiang Gu doesn't know?

A light and familiar melody poured out from his fingertips.

Kaoru Karasuma remembers hearing this nursery rhyme "Seven Children" often when she was a child.

She couldn't help but hummed twice along with the melody: "Little crow, why are you crying?"

However, the version played by Amuro Toru is a version raised two keys, and Kaoru Karasuma will not be able to sing it later.

A nursery rhyme that went up two keys quickly ran out.

Amuro thought this was what the code meant.

But after 1 minute, still nothing happens.

Just when Toru Amuro began to doubt his conclusion.

"Kacha Kacha Kacha Kacha—"

Accompanied by the sound of old and rusty mechanisms starting to turn in disrepair, the entire Twilight Lodge suddenly began to vibrate violently, the ceiling trembled unceasingly, and dust and wall skin fell, just like an earthquake same.

Toru Amuro reacted immediately, quickly pushed Kaoru Karasuma to a relatively safe corner of the wall, and used his back to block the peeling wall.

Kaoru Karasuma quickly reached out to protect the opponent's head.

If something goes wrong with Mr. Furutani's clever head being smashed by the tiles on the ceiling, it will definitely be a loss for the whole of Japan!

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

The violent shock lasted for about half a minute.

When the shock stopped, only a little bit of the wall peeled off from the Twilight Villa, and the two of them were not injured except that they were covered in dust and embarrassed.

Toru Amuro put away his hands that were supporting Kaoru Karasuma's side, and Kaoru Karasuma also moved away her rebellious hands that were placed on the boss's head.

Mr. Jiang Gu's hair is quite easy to touch.

This thought suddenly flashed through Karasuma's mind.

Toru Amuro felt his nose itch and sneezed.

"Is there too much dust?" Karasuma took out a pack of paper and handed it to him.

Amuro rubbed his nose: "It's possible."

After the splashing dust finally settled down again, a black hole on the ceiling suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

Kaoru Karasuma: "!"

Toru Amuro: "!"

Karasuma Kaoru said in shock: "There is a secret room here!"

Toru Amuro poked his head out of the window to observe carefully for a while, and then estimated the distance between the ceiling and the ground: "I see. There is a secret mezzanine between the fourth and fifth floors, but the builder cleverly used cover-ups to cover it up." Lost."

Kaoru Karasuma and Toru Amuro looked at each other: "Shall we go up and have a look?"

Amuro nodded: "Okay."

Toru Amuro went downstairs to his car first, and took two gas masks and special gloves.

"You still carry these things with you?" Karasuma felt incredible.

Amuro smiled and said, "Be prepared."

"Indeed." Kaoru Karasuma put on a gas mask and special gloves, and nodded in agreement.

Toru Amuro also put on a gas mask, jumped up, and propped his white-gloved hands on the edge of the hole. With strength in his arms and waist, he easily went up into the secret room, and then pulled Kaoru Karasuma up.

The secret room was dark, except for the faint light coming in from the hole, there was no gap of light at all, making it look eerie.

Kaoru Karasuma silently moved towards Toru Amuro.

Amuro turned on the flashlight function on his phone, illuminated a small area ahead, and slowly explored forward.

This should be an abandoned laboratory. Although everything has been removed, there are still clues left behind.

"Crack."

Kaoru Karasuma suddenly stepped on something round and slipped on the sole of her foot, and threw herself forward, almost falling.Fortunately, she stretched out her hand to support the wall next to her just a second before she made close contact with the ground.

"Officer Karasuma, are you alright?" Toru Amuro came over with a flashlight.

It was okay when it was too dark to see anything, but a beam of light came over and immediately illuminated a skeleton man next to Kaoru Karasuma's cheek.

——What she stepped on just now was a piece of bone that the other party dropped.

The skeleton man died while sitting, still maintaining a sitting posture, with his upper body leaning against the wall, Karasuma Kaoru's current posture is as if the wall has knocked on the skeleton man.

She was almost facing the black and yellow teeth of the skeleton man, and a little further forward, she would be close to the face of the skull through a thin layer of gas mask!

"Ah!" Kaoru Karasuma was frightened out of his wits, his face was so frightened that he almost deformed, he jumped and hung on Toru Amuro in place, and continued to launch sonic attacks.

Toru Amuro patted her on the back: "Don't be afraid, it's just a skeleton. Don't we police see fewer dead people?"

"But that's a skeleton! It's a real skeleton! I'm almost scared to death!" Kaoru Karasuma cried with grievances, "I've only seen skeletons in glass showcases in museums."

After hearing her description, Amuro couldn't laugh or cry: "Skeletons are just the skeletons left after the corpses of dead people have been corroded. If everyone is not cremated after death, they will all turn into skeletons. There is nothing to fear."

"Don't be afraid, let's identify the cause of death of this Mr. Skeleton."

Under Amuro Toru's hard-core comfort, Karasuma finally calmed down, and treated the skeleton man with the professional attitude of the police towards the dead.

The roots of his teeth were black, suspected of heavy metal poisoning.

Then Kaoru Karasuma and Toru Amuro found 18 skeletons one after another.

Among them, eleven skeletons died of suspected poisoning, and the other seven skeletons were suspected of being stabbed to death by knives.

Toru Amuro also found a jacket in the corner that had not been disposed of and was stained with dried dark brown blood. The word "Thousands" was sewn on the small label on the lining of the jacket.

Toru Amuro and Kaoru Karasuma looked at each other, and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

According to the existing clues at the scene, it can be inferred that from 40 years ago to 60 years ago, Renye Karasuma, the actual head of the Karasuma family, was conducting human experiments in the Twilight Annex—he died of poisoning, the cause of death was different, and the time of death The eleven different skeletons are evidence.

The other seven scholars who were stabbed to death should be the seven scholars involved in the rumored massacre in the Twilight Pavilion.

Perhaps they accidentally discovered this secret laboratory in the process of searching for the treasure, and they were killed.

"What was Renye Karasuma thinking at the time?" Kaoru Karasuma couldn't understand, his brows were tightly frowned, and he had no respect for his ancestors at all, so he just called him by his first name.

Renye Karasuma was a man of the past who stood at the top of the pyramid in the last century. He was a full-fledged careerist who single-handedly expanded the Karasuma family to the largest scale in Japan.Karasuma Kaoru doesn't believe that someone will commit a crime in Karasuma Renye's mother's dowry villa against Karasuma Renye's will.

Therefore, the tragic deaths of the human laboratory and the seven scholars are inseparable from Renye Karasuma.

And just when Kaoru Karasuma couldn't help asking this question, there was a sudden "squeak" on the wall at the end of the corridor, and a door slowly opened.

"Hiss." Kaoru Karasuma was stunned, "Is this still a voice-activated door? The password is Renye Karasuma? Was technology so advanced decades ago?"

The two walked in cautiously.

Kaoru Karasuma also took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, lighting up the small office with Toru Amuro.

In this small office, desks, chairs, sofas, carpets, and bookcases are all available. Perhaps because of the airtightness, it is still spotlessly maintained as it was more than 40 years ago.

Kaoru Karasuma and Toru Amuro walked in from the outside, leaving a string of dusty footprints on the clean carpet.

The two rummaged through the boxes.

But all the cupboards and drawers are empty.

Finally, they set their sights on the bookcase.

The books in the bookcase have not been removed, there are about [-] books, some are brand new books, and some books have traces of being flipped through, but there are no notes or comments left.

Until Kaoru Karasuma opened a "Serabi Prayer Book".

On the title page, there is a line of small French characters printed - "Let his soul rest in peace and green shade."

And below this line of French text, someone wrote in black pen:

"We can be both of God and the devil. Since we' retrying to raise the dead against the stream of time." (We are both God and the devil. We want to reverse the torrent of time and bring the dead back to life.) [1]

The font is strong and powerful, and the ink-colored handwriting is full of wanton and vigorous ambition, almost piercing through the thin paper.

Kaoru Karasuma's pupils shrank.

Since the small secret room in this secret room can only be opened by saying a certain word or a few words in Renye Karasuma's name, then the owner of this secret room is about to come out.

It was Renye Karasuma who left these two sentences in the book.

come back to life?

He killed so many people just because of such a fantasy thing?

How can something beyond the laws of nature, such as resurrection from death, be possible...?

Kaoru Karasuma caught a glimpse of the trio flying in the air and rubbing their chins in contemplation, and the sense of absurdity and anger surging in his heart suddenly stopped.

Uh... resurrection from the dead doesn't seem to be completely impossible...

Toru Amuro noticed Karasuma Kaoru's subtle expression and leaned over to take a look.

This passage!

Amuro's purple-gray eyes suddenly brewed a depressive storm.

He once heard Belmode say this, word for word.

Belmode... BOSS... Karasuma Renya... What is the relationship between them?

**

Other than that, there was nothing else of value in the Chamber of Secrets.

They withdrew from the secret room, and then invariably focused their attention on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.

In the entire Twilight Annex, only the piano on the third floor and the sofa on the first floor are connected to the floor and cannot be moved! — except the fireplace.

Since the piano is the switch of a secret room, the sofa is also likely to be the switch of a secret room!

Kaoru Karasuma and Toru Amuro fiddled with the sofa for a long time, and lifted the partition in the middle of the sofa, but they still found nothing.

There are no passwords, and there are no agencies.

Karasuma punched the bare sofa arm in frustration.

"Snapped!"

"Ah!" The floor under Kaoru Karasuma's feet suddenly disappeared, and she fell straight down.

"careful!"

Toru Amuro rushed over and grabbed Kaoru Karasuma's hand firmly at the last second.

"Ok?"

"what?"

Toru Amuro and Kaoru Karasuma were puzzled.

Because Kaoru Karasuma did not fall down as expected, but stepped on a step.

The kind that tiptoes just enough to reveal the top of the hair on the original floor.

The passage in the basement is so small that only one person can pass through it.

Kaoru Karasuma went down first, and Toru Amuro followed suit.

Toru Amuro walked up the last few steps, but saw Kaoru Karasuma standing at the exit of the passage as if petrified.

"What's wrong?" Amuro's heart sank, thinking that she had discovered something terrible in the basement again.

For example, a neat bunch of skeletons, or a whole living laboratory...

Toru Amuro stepped on the last step and looked over Kaoru Karasuma's shoulder.

Toru Amuro: "!"

Amuro Toru's whole body was also petrified, and he was almost blinded by the large area of ​​gold in front of him.

It turned out to be gold in a basement!

No matter how large the area of ​​the Twilight Pavilion is, the amount of gold reserves will be as large.

It took Karasuma a long while to find his voice, and murmured: "So... is this the real treasure of the Twilight Annex?"

"I'm rich!" Karasuma gradually showed excitement and joy on his face.Although she is not short of money, who would think too much money?

She looked back at Toru Amuro excitedly: "Mr. Amuro, half of you is here. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to find the treasure!"

If it wasn't for Toru Amuro who came to investigate and found the secret signal of the piano, and then deduced that there was also a secret room near the sofa, she would never have come here by herself.

Toru Amuro refused.

He is not someone who takes advantage of his subordinates.

He will only take advantage of the organization.

When Kaoru Karasuma finally got excited, the two came out from the glittering basement.

Toru Amuro started calling Yuya Kazami.

The dozens of corpses in the secret room still need to be dealt with, but other people must not be alarmed, lest the organization discover any clues.Let the police of their zero group come over to help.

"Dududu-"

The call rang for a long time before Kazami Yuya answered the phone.

"Mr. Jiang Gu?"

Toru Amuro frowned deeply.

Kazami Yuya's voice was very noisy, and the loud music was mixed with crazy cheers.

"Where are you?"

"I'm at the Tokyo Dome, attending Ms. Okino Yoko's concert." Kazami Yu was also a little guilty. ——But now it's obviously off-duty time, why is he guilty?

"Support? You are really a conscientious policeman." Toru Amuro said coldly, "Urgent mission, take the members of the zero team to the Twilight Annex in Ashiya City. There are 18 skeletons to be dealt with. Be careful not to alarm other people."

When Karasuma heard this slightly familiar sentence, she looked in the direction of Toru Amuro. ——Just now Mr. Jiang Gu praised her as a conscientious policeman.

The same person speaks the same sentence, but expresses two completely opposite meanings of praise and criticism... The language is really broad and profound!

Toru Amuro noticed Kaoru Karasuma's gaze and smiled back at her.

Amuro couldn't understand why the gap between people was so big.They are all the police officers of his zero team. Kaoru Karasuma is easy to understand and has a high enthusiasm for tasks, and Yuya Kazami... let's not mention it.

Kazami Yuya seemed to feel the dissatisfaction floating over the phone from Amuro Toru, and he was shocked on the spot: "Yes, Mr. Furuya!"
