A world where only the protagonist has color

"Inoue, I'll leave it to you here. Let's go downstairs." After inspecting all the rooms, Police Officer Megure fastened his hat, frowned and told Inoue Chizuru earnestly.

"Yes, officer, please rest assured and leave it to me."

The door was closed from the outside, and the room with the drawn curtains fell into silence.Chizuka Inoue sat on the sofa, turning her head to look at the woman beside her who kept biting her fingers.

This is her first time in the police, and the task is to protect the woman in front of her, Miss Zhuchuan.The other party has been receiving threatening letters written in blood in the past two weeks, and has been troubled to the point where his spirit is a little weak.

"Miss Takegawa, go take a hot bath and relax first." Inoue Chisuke held Takegawa's hand, exerting a little force, trying to give him a little comfort and calmness. "I'll keep watch in the living room."

Zhuchuan's thumbnail, which was originally made of white manicure, was gnawed bare by his teeth, and it was uneven and out of shape.Zhu Chuan raised her eyes. Long-term lack of sleep and mental weakness made her eyes look dull, bloated bags under the eyes, and beautiful big wavy curly hair began to knot due to neglect.

"Ah...then I'm going to take a bath." Zhu Chuan stood up and turned into the bathroom, but poked his head out when he was about to close the white plastic door: "Officer, you will always be here, right?"

Inoue Chisuke felt a little helpless, but it was not incomprehensible. She showed a comforting smile on her face: "Don't worry, I will always guard in the living room. And police officer Megure is also squatting downstairs, nothing will happen. "

After comforting the woman to take a bath, Inoue Chizuru sat alone on the sofa in the living room, and took out a notebook that was only half the size of a palm from the satchel she carried with her fingers.Writing and drawing on the white paper with a black carbon pen, she listed all the people of color she saw since entering the police academy.

In addition to Hagiwara and the others who graduated with him, there is also a little girl about ten years old seen in the Karasuma Group, two men who prefer to wear black, and the police officer Megure who is now responsible for taking care of himself.However, no matter how she summed it up, she couldn't get any rules, and there seemed to be no similarities between these nine people.

She couldn't help raising her left hand to support her forehead. This problem had troubled her for two days.

Inoue Chitsu suddenly remembered the throbbing in his heart when he first saw Furutani Rei and the others on the day of entering the school. They were shining like the protagonists of the world.

"The protagonist of the world...?"

But with such strange symptoms, maybe he is the protagonist of the world.

He couldn't help showing a self-deprecating smile.

Really, I'm not a middle school student who hasn't played with my deskmate in the playground yet, so how could I have such absurd and bizarre thoughts.

Raising his hands and rubbing between his brows, Inoue Chisuke couldn't help but let out a sigh.Putting the notebook back into her pocket, she gave up the idea of ​​sorting out the clues—probably still have to wait until she meets more people of color to find any patterns and strangeness.

But compared to this, the day after tomorrow is Monday, and I haven't bought a bento box yet, and I don't know what to cook.Although someone sent a message to ask about Yan Er's suggestion, but what I got was "As long as it is made by Qianshujiang, I like it very much", which is quite Yan Er's style of answer.

If it's the second year of research, he doesn't seem to be a picky eater, at least he didn't find any special preferences when we had dinner together at the police academy.I really want to send a text message asking the other party to specify a favorite dish, but every time at this time, Kenji Hagiwara's puffed cheeks and aggrieved expression flashed in front of my eyes at the orientation meeting a few days ago.

"Qianshu-chan, you don't even care about my activities. I thought our relationship was super good."

Although she knew that the other party was being coquettish, Chizuka Inoue started to reflect seriously.Maybe it's really like Yan Er said, in fact, I don't pay enough attention to him.We've been together for so long, but we didn't even notice what kind of home-cooked food the other party likes.

Inoue Chisuke, who was unsuspecting of the good relationship at the same time, had already decided in his heart to pay more attention to Hagiwara Kenji in the future, and completely fell into the cream trap of him using coquetry as a cover.

"Hey...really, why can't you tell me what I like to eat..."

Of course not.

This is Yan Er's little trick.Worrying about the side dishes of the bento is also a disguised effort, and the silent effect should be prepared early and permeated unconsciously.By the time Inoue Chizuru noticed it, it might have been like a sponge left in a dark and damp place in the room, filled with his Hagiwara Kenji-related aura, completely permeated.

In the bathroom, Takegawa was probably still uneasy, and kept looking for topics to talk to Chizuru Inoue. It seemed that she could take a bath with peace of mind only after confirming that a female police officer was guarding outside the living room at the moment.Chizuka Inoue answered every question, stood up and planned to move her already sore waist, but when she raised her hand and twisted her body, she found a cookbook among the debris scattered on the ground——because of the threatening letter Continuous harassment, Zhuchuan has already made a mess in the whole room.

Bending down to pick up the recipe, half a crumpled old newspaper fell out of the book.The time was half a month ago, and the headline news was the murder case of a college student in Mihua Park.Five members of the same club in a certain university met to enjoy cherry blossoms in Mihua Park, but a poisoning case occurred, and one person died.Whether it was the victim or the murderer, even the photos of the other three people who acted together were all published.

Inoue Chisuke originally just glanced at it casually, but when she saw the victim's face, she subconsciously squeezed the old newspaper that was about to break into several pieces.She had seen the victim before. On the day she went to Mihua Park with Rei Fuguni after dealing with the person in charge of the Karasuma Group, she passed by this group of college students when she was leaving.

Because one of the five people was a woman in black, Inoue Chisuke was particularly impressed by the faces of all of them.

She rubbed her fingertips along the old newspaper, and she had seen the faces of the victim and the other three companions, but she had no memory of the murderer's face at all.Of the five people who walked together that day, the four who could see the facial features all matched with people other than the murderer, except for the woman whose whole body was pitch-black like a silhouette...

Fingers began to tremble unconsciously, ruled out all the impossible, the remaining answer, no matter how outrageous, was the only correct answer - the black silhouetted man Inoue Chizuru saw at the park gate that day was the murderer published in the newspaper.

Even if she doesn't want to believe it in her heart, Chizuka Inoue has to admit that the color disorder that has accompanied her all her life since she can remember seems really unusual, and she is probably really a character entangled by a strange fate.So, maybe those who have color have some special meaning?

Holding her chin and showing a helpless smile, Inoue Chizuru felt that maybe she was crazy, or the world was crazy.She pulls out her phone to send a message to the man who never texts back.

—— "Zero, will you be my partner of justice?"

Some secondary school students, just treat it as her little prank.

If such lines were sent to Matsuda Jinpei, the other party would definitely make a direct phone call to ask her about her situation.As for Hagiwara Kenji, maybe he will follow the topic to climb up, that guy is best at being cheap and being good.

As for Fugu Ling...a man who disappeared without authorization on the day of dating, she doesn't want such a guy to be her righteous partner.Fortunately, she was still worried about him for a long time, looking for someone everywhere.Anyway, Jiang Gu Ling never replied to herself again, so this nonsense dance can be regarded as her little willfulness.

After tearing off the report page of the Mihua Murder Case from the half-remained old newspaper and neatly stacking it in his notebook, Zhuchuan finally took a bath and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.It's just that when she came out, Nei Ba's standing posture looked extremely awkward, her whole body was full of hesitation, and her already bad face was completely unreadable now.

Excessive long-term mental stress and endocrine disorders lead to major problems during the menstrual period.But now there are no sanitary products that can be used in the room.

"That..." Zhuchuan clasped his hands, his thumbs constantly rubbed against each other, feeling very uneasy: "Can you accompany me to the convenience store?"

"Of course, my duty is to ensure your safety." Inoue Chizuru took off her white suit jacket and put it on Takegawa's body naturally: "Go and change your clothes first, be careful, don't catch a cold. Then we will go to the convenience store together. "

"Okay, thank you." Zhu Chuan looked exhausted on his face, and his footsteps were a little weak when he turned back to the bedroom, as if he was about to fall down.

"Hmm..." Inoue Qianshu looked down at the other person's back, and couldn't help but frowned when she saw the dark color on the thighs that was smudged by the undried water: "Otherwise, you can rest in the room." , I’ll go buy women’s sanitary products for you. I’ll ask the police officer who is stationed downstairs to come up to accompany you.”

"No! No!"

The plan that was supposed to be the best choice provoked a violent reaction from the other party. Takegawa suddenly turned up the volume, regardless of his own situation, turned back and tightly grasped Inoue Chitsu's arm.He was so emotional that Inoue's arm hurt a bit from the manicures on the fingers other than the thumb.

"I don't want to share a room with men!"

"Hey..." Chizuka Inoue was really a little overwhelmed, but there was nothing she could do.

She was raised by the Karasuma Group, and she became a full-fledged police officer of the First Investigation Division by herself.Compared with ordinary women around her, she is used to embracing loneliness and keeping calm.At least she will not be full of anxiety at any time like some girls, and she also has a sense of aggressiveness and tenacity.

If she wasn't calm enough, she would have been bitten to death by the Karasuma Group long ago.

But even so, Zhuchuan's reaction was a little too extreme.Chizuka Inoue was not sure whether her past education led to her current personality, or the recent continuous harassment and intimidation made her a frightened bird.

After all, the bloody threatening letter that Zhuchuan received revealed between the lines almost perverted and distorted love and possessiveness, the twisted behavior of a dirty peeper hiding in the dark.Therefore, it can be understood and accepted if there is an overreaction to the behavior of [being alone with the opposite sex in a closed space].

Chisuke Inoue did not open her mouth to remind Takegawa that she had already hurt herself with too much force, but instead raised her hand and hugged Takekawa into her arms: "Don't worry, I won't leave. I will stay with you until the prisoner is caught." of."

Pulling out an unopened cotton sliver from the interlayer of the satchel, Inoue Chifu silently thanked herself for having a spare one at all times: "I have a cotton sliver here, if you don't mind, you can use it first, and we will go together later." Convenience store."

When I went out for a trip and came back, it was already half an hour later.Inoue Chisuke comforted Takegawa back to the bedroom and fell asleep. After confirming that he was asleep, she lowered the brightness of the bedside light, and walked lightly on tiptoe to leave the bedroom.

But at the moment when he opened the door and walked out half of his body, he stopped again.

As if suddenly remembering something important that had been forgotten, Inoue Chizuru turned around and returned to the bedroom.She stopped three or four steps away from the bed, bent her knees and squatted down, then pressed her body tightly against the wooden floor of the bedroom, lying on her stomach.

Inoue just lay on the wooden floor outside the bed, turned his head to look at the person hiding under the bed—in the gap under Zhuchuan’s bed, a slender man was lying on his back holding a pointed bayonet .

The person under the bed didn't seem to expect to be shot back by Inoue Chisuke. He stared wide-eyed, revealing the whites of his eyes, and stared at Inoue Chisuke silently under the bed.His stunned appearance was reflected in Inoue Qianshu's eyes, leaving only a dark silhouette, which was exactly the same as what she saw at the gate of Mihua Park that day.

Inoue Chisuke was completely sure that the black silhouetted man she saw was indeed a preparatory murderer planning to commit a serious crime.

Inoue Chizuru twitched the corners of her mouth, and showed a kind smile towards the man under the bed: "Wow, you are so brave :)"
