[Conan] Waiting for the dawn

It was only early the next morning that Yingying remembered the "asking for leave" that had been left behind. Naturally, it was impossible to ask for leave.

After hanging up the phone, she wailed to Jiang Gu Ling: "Why don't you go to the Metropolitan Police Department with me...I'll hide you in the office."

"..." The other party was overwhelmed by her wonderful brain hole, and rubbed her temples helplessly, "Forget it, you go to work hard. ... I happen to have someone I want to meet today."

?

"Who?" To actually use the time she was supposed to spend with her to meet someone else, to see if she won't take revenge on him in the future!

Furutani put on his coat, with the key ring on his fingers, and was about to drive her to work. It took him a long time to give her a reply: "Akai Shuichi."

Hearing this completely unexpected name, Yingying was stunned.

The FBI will assist the Japanese police in the final mission. As the undercover agent who sneaked into the organization, Akai Shuichi will definitely serve as an important commander this time.It can be said that the relationship between Jiang Gu Ling and him has not improved much in the past few years, and they always break up unhappy when they have to meet.

Is this meeting for a mission?

Yingying talked to the leader in the morning, and finally invited the afternoon vacation for a wonderful reason.It was Jiang Gu Ling who brought her here in the morning, without driving, she called Jiang Gu Ling while hailing a taxi after she walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department, and asked where he was after connecting.

There seems to be a rumor from the other party: "Dongmingshan, I'm going to go up in a fast car."

……

These two people are very emotional.Could it be a reconciliation?

Yingying hesitated for a moment: "Then I'll wait for you at home?"

Maybe, Fugu Ling would not want someone to bother the two of them... The old enemy for many years finally had a result or something.

Furutani Ling thought for two seconds, looked in Akai Shuichi's direction, the other party gave him a casual gesture, and then said to the phone: "Come here - don't go back and drive, just take a taxi, when you get here, we It should be almost over."

Yingying answered the call and closed the line. A taxi came just in time. After she sat in and told the location, she began to let go, watching the phone screen slowly dim.

Today's weather is not very good, the sun is behind thick layers of clouds, the light is not strong.There are many detours in Dongmingshan, the driver dare not drive too fast, Yingying also understands that even she drives at this speed, because she knows that she does not have the driving skills like Jiang Guling.

When I drove slowly to the highest point, I found two cars parked at the viewing platform on the side of the road, one of which was a Mazda she was familiar with.

Several empty soda cans were scattered on the ground, and the two car owners were sitting on the hood of the car. They seemed to have been chatting for a long time. At this time, there was no conversation, and neither of them was facing her. Clink glasses, take a sip occasionally, and drink happily.

Jiang Gu Ling stretched out one leg and bent the other, facing her sideways, shaking the beer can in his hand, looking at the mountain in a daze; Akai Shuichi from behind should be sitting cross-legged, One arm was propped back on the hood of the car, the other held a cigarette, and a beer can stood beside him.

Because the sound of the engine of the approaching car has been announcing its presence in a low voice, and it has not driven away, it has attracted the attention of Yu Gu Ling.He turned around and saw Yingying who just got off the car.

Not far away, he showed his white teeth and waved to her.

The latter walked over slowly, not approaching the two of them in a hurry.

... Anyway, I still feel that when those two people are talking harmoniously, no one should intervene.

The man who had been wearing a black knitted hat for ten years also turned his head. He had a face with sharp lines and dark green pupils were very deep.

This should be the first time she officially met Shuichi Akai.

Rei once told her that it was Akai Shuichi who killed her Okuma-senpai.At that time, she was just an ordinary policeman, and she would never come into contact with the legendary FBI ace sniper. She had no power to fight back all the hatred except to grit her teeth and remember it.And Papa's death almost determined the direction of her life after that.

A person she had never met had such a drastic impact on her life.

Thinking about it this way, it was really a meeting of fate.

At this time, Akai Hideo looked at her standing in the distance for two seconds, then suddenly stood up and got out of the car, the cigarette in his mouth turned red for a moment, reached out to take down the ash from the flick, and smiled at her inexplicably while breathing out the smoke. Jiang Gu Ling said: "——Now I have to say, are you two alright?"

As Subaru Okiya, he had met Rei Furutani and Hideo Ori Mitsui several times before, although not every time he could see the closeness of the two, but the vague familiarity with each other in the aura, All kinds of unsuspecting subconscious little actions reveal that the relationship between the two is unusual.

But no matter how hard he tried to induce him with words, Jiang Gu Ling snorted coldly and refused to admit any of his guesses.And that lady was even better, and didn't care at all that they were seen shopping arm in arm—with eyes open without blushing and heart beating, talking nonsense, not eating oil and salt.She even hinted half-truthfully that "we're just bedmates."

After all, the police lady had nothing to do with him, so he didn't have too much curiosity, and he could barely accept the term "bed partner".Undercover work is difficult and demanding, Jiang Guling is at that age, it is understandable that he needs to find a safe bed partner.

But... Akai Shuichi's pupils have always been intimidating. At this time, an interested smile appeared, which was even more aggressive. He looked at Yingying: "——If it's just a bed partner, you probably won't find it here bring it on?"

Jiang Gu Ling smiled, put the beer aside, turned his body slightly, retracted his legs into a circle, and beckoned the person who was still standing in the distance to come over again.

Yingying just smiled at Akai's aggressive question.He also worked as an undercover agent in the organization, but Jiang Gu Ling has always been optimistic, natural and positive, making people easy to get close to; but Akai Shuichi is different, I don't know whether it is born like this or is infected by the organization-the whole body is depressed and Scary, a pair of eyes is daunting.

She frowned and walked over, but kept looking at Akai Shuichi coldly.

The man being stared at snorted with a smile, leaned back into the car in a relaxed manner, and let the red dot of the cigarette in his hand move back.

"Akai, although I still hate you, I still can't help but show off to you—this is my wife, Jiang Gu Yingying."

The person mentioned suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if his heart had been poked, and looked at Jiang Guling in disbelief.

Ju, did you say that?

This is the first person to know the relationship between the two of them!Akai Shuichi.

……

For some reason, she hated Akai even more.

"Oh—?" Akai Hideichi elongated his voice, his eyes that didn't look very friendly narrowed slightly, "You're actually married, when did it happen?"

Jiang Guling habitually raised his bony hands to smooth down his hair, picked up the beer and took a sip, sliding down his Adam's apple before answering: "It's been a few years."

Akai Hideki was taken aback by his honesty, but when he thought about the upcoming mission, he also knew that there was nothing he couldn't say.Then he said with a playful smile: "You are really brave...Then I can only send a belated congratulations."

Jiang Gu Ling shrugged: "Well, don't be late, this is also the first blessing we have received."

Except for family members.

Akai Xiuyi let out an "oh" in a low voice, and found that Yingying was still staring at him with a cold expression, and felt a little surprised: "Why does Madam keep looking at me like this?...It's scary."

Yingying looked away lightly, and hummed instead of replying.

Furutani Rei felt very pleased with her reaction, propped his head on his knee with one hand, and looked at Akai with mischief: "Don't you know? Scotland is her papa."

"..." Surprised for a moment, Akai Shuichi said with a vague smile in his voice, "Don't scare me with this kind of joke."

Yingying sneered: "Who scared you. Although you didn't kill Papa, I'm sorry I can't calm down when I see your face."

In particular, how can she accept that Fugu Rei himself caused the tragedy of Senior Bear?When he knew the news, he was locked in the room and almost forced himself out of depression.In this case, there must always be someone to take the blame, and this former enemy of Mr. Jiang Gu naturally bears the brunt.

No matter what, it was impossible for Akai to argue with her as a woman.Jiang Gu Ling knew the truth about Scotland's death a long time ago, and he knew this clearly.And he is confident that with that "Zero" as a person, it is impossible to hide such an important matter from his wife, so it seems that it is just a transfer of hatred.

He stubbed out the cigarette on the beer can, straightened up, and put his hands in his trouser pockets: "...It's almost time to go down the mountain."

Jiang Guling picked up the beer beside him and drank it down in one gulp, then hummed slowly.He flipped down with one hand on the cart neatly, squatted down and picked up the beer cans thrown by the two.

Because both of them were drinking, the car must have given up.Jiang Guling had no lingering thoughts—he had made a plan long ago, that's why he didn't let her drive; and Akai Shuichi said that he would wait for his colleagues to pick him up.

Although Yingying is not used to driving his sports car and is used to the thick and domineering car, he feels insecure at this time, but he has no choice but to do so. Who made Japan's punishment for drunk driving very severe?

In addition, Jiang Gu Ling is an exceptionally self-disciplined person.

Before getting into the car, Furutani Rei turned his back to Akai Shuichi and slightly turned his head: "Although I still hate you very much, in the final duel, I still hope that we can cooperate happily, and the FBI will not drag us back."

Even if he said everything, he would never be able to truly cooperate with the FBI with an open mind in his whole life, but this mission is still special after all.

Akai Hideichi laughed narrowly, lit another cigarette, took a puff and then lowered his voice: "Ah, you should worry about yourself, it would be too bad for such a beautiful wife to be a widow."

Crow mouth.

Yingying was very upset, and honked the horn twice to urge the people outside to get in the car.She gave Akai Hideyoshi a hard look through the car window.

The two left, Jiang Gu Ling was very quiet all the way.

Yingying quietly looked at him a few times, and found that the other person's expression was not serious, and he leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to relax.It's just a few cans of beer, so he won't get drunk. —of course, she didn't know they drank bourbon before she arrived.

It seems that the two should have said clearly what they should say. After so many years of fighting each other openly and secretly, every time they fought, they spared no effort to show each other's color, and Fuguya Ling really wanted to kill Akai Shuichi all the time, that kind of hatred It can be said that it has become a part of his life... But everything will be over before the decisive battle.

She knew that after Fugu Rei married her, there was only Akai Shuichi in his heart.Now, finally unraveled.

He should be very happy to be able to fight with Akai Shuichi before the final battle.

lingering.

Early the next morning, Furutani Zero left home.

Before leaving, he made her a lot of sandwiches, which he said would last her for a week.Although the stuff was still fresh and delicious after all, she still accepted his kindness.

This is what her husband left for her.

There was no repeated sensationalism, and both of them calmly accepted the arrival of the parting moment, but finally exchanged a long kiss that no one wanted to end, and then sent him away.She doesn't miss his leaving back, because she firmly believes that there will be a day when he walks back.

……

After that, Yingying felt a sense of life fading.

She went to and from work as usual every day, held meetings, handled cases, and got along with her subordinates and superiors as usual. There seemed to be nothing unusual about her.It's just that I look at the calendar more and more every day.

He has been gone for twelve days.

No news is the best news.

"...The above is the work for this week, administrator, do you have any instructions?"

Yingying's subordinates specially searched the head of Department 9 after finishing the report, and found that she was staring at the calendar on the notebook thoughtfully.But he didn't dare to ask anything, he was thinking in his heart whether she had heard it or not, and when he needed to say it again, he saw the police raised his eyes and said indifferently: "It's nothing else. The fraud case last month It’s already closed, I haven’t seen the report, and I’ve been urging for several weeks, so don’t let it go on deaf ears.”

The standing department head was startled, shouted "yes" and sat back in a cold sweat. The department head of the 10th department got up and prepared to continue the report.

In the middle of the report, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and a policeman walked in: "Excuse me, Police Officer Ori Mitsui. Minister Odagiri called you over."

Yingying frowned: "Now? I'm in a meeting."

"Yes...I know, but the minister wants you to go over immediately, saying that...someone from the police department is here."

The policeman who had been sitting firmly got up with a whoosh, said a little hastily, "The meeting is suspended, go back to work first," and followed the visitor out, leaving several department heads looking at each other.

Yingying walked faster and faster, and the policeman who led the way felt very strange. He was unwilling just now, why suddenly...

When they arrived at the conference room where the regular meeting of ministers had just ended, Yingying finally stopped.

She caught a glimpse of the people surrounded by several ministers inside, Mr. Nagasawa, the Chief of the Police Department of the National Police Agency.

……

Seeing this person Yingying suddenly felt a little timid.

"Here we come, Ore Mitsui." Seeing her at the door, Odagiri motioned for her to pass.Several ministers looked at her one after another, with doubts on their faces, not understanding why Nagasawa wanted to meet her by name after the meeting.

Yingying swallowed her saliva, suddenly her feet went limp, and she almost fell, but luckily she held onto the wall in time.She closed her eyes to gather herself, walked in with a stride, looked straight at Nagasawa, and ignored even saying hello to other superiors.

Her heart was beating fast, and the ups and downs of her chest gradually became obvious. She walked up to Nagasawa step by step, and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying: "...Mr. Good job."

What is he here for?What do you do when you attend the regular meeting of ministers?Why do you want to see her?

The director's expression is as cold as Minister Odagiri's all year round, and his aura is particularly frightening in middle age.

...won't bring bad news, will it?

Nagasawa did not reply immediately, closed his eyes and sighed, then turned his head to look at several ministers: "Can you lend me an interrogation room? Turn off all surveillance cameras, and no one is allowed to watch."

After hearing his words, Yingying felt that every second was very long, her fingers were cold and clenched into fists.

He probably didn't come here to announce the bad news to her. The purpose of his coming in person should be to need the Metropolitan Police Department to cooperate in some actions at work.As for the content of the job, she couldn't think of anything else except the matter of Jiang Guling.

The two arrived in the closed interrogation room and sat opposite each other for a while. Nagasawa took out a stack of papers from the document bag and handed it to her.After taking it, she rolled her eyes a little.The quality of the paper touched on the fingertips is different from that of ordinary paper, and it is thicker.Every type on it is extremely solemn, and the content is as rigid as an official document, with one, two, three, and four listed.

After a while, she pushed back: "I don't want it."

The corners of Nagasawa's eyes with lines moved, and he let go of his hands supporting his chin, helplessly: "This is the greatest benefit we have won for you from the National Public Safety Commission. If Jiang Gu can't come back...these are the only I can give you compensation."

Yingying hummed: "I know. But I still choose not to sign, because he will not die, as long as he is alive, it is useless for me to sign this word."

"Don't be arrogant, just saying 'I believe he will live' is useless." Nagasawa thought that the simple and idealized rhetoric of their young people was meaningless, and raised his eyebrows.

The person sitting opposite smiled indifferently, and suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked him, "Why didn't my husband mention this to me when he was at home?"

Nagasawa was taken aback.

"Zero should have told you that I don't need any pension." Yingying pursed her lips, with a firm tone, "Because he knows that he will come back alive. Therefore, I don't need the country. Give me any extra security."

Facing her who was like a two-dimensional hot-blooded girl, Nagasawa was silent for a long time, and silently took back the documents she had turned over and flattened them.

"Yesterday, Jiang Gu lost contact," he said.

……

As soon as these words sounded, Yingying felt her heartbeat stop for a moment.The hot blood just now seemed to be suddenly splashed out by the oncoming basin of ice water.She opened her eyes in disbelief, took a few deep breaths, and her voice trembled: "...what did you say..."

"According to the character of the other group of people, even if Jiang Gu has fallen into the hands of the enemy, we guess he is not dead yet - that group of people will try their best to pry his mouth open and get the information they want." Chang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyelids, and stared at her through the vicissitudes of life, "Although we believe in Jiang Gu's loyalty, it's hard to say whether he will be injected with drugs... so according to his original plan, once he loses Contact, I will advance the siege plan, and personally come to the Metropolitan Police Department to ask it to send police forces to cooperate with the final operation tonight. At the same time, if possible, rescue him.”

I just don't know if he can wait for them alive.

……

Yingying felt that her tinnitus was severe, and her eyes were pitch black. If she hadn't been sitting, she might have been unable to support her body.

...he had expected this situation a long time ago.

How could she not have expected it? With his personality, he might even pave the way for her after his death.

I can still see every expression on his face when he left that morning.

She kissed him desperately, absorbing his smell, hugging his neck with unprecedented strength, and expressing all her unspoken feelings in one kiss.When their foreheads touched, panting, all the breath from his lips sprayed on her face.

He said he would hold a grand wedding with her, buy a house in Osaka, come to the Metropolitan Police Department and tell everyone that her surname is Jianggu, and beat his younger brother who always disliked him until he became obedient... He said, yes Come back alive.

Yingying held her head in her hands, lowered her gaze, and her body was trembling faintly.

Tears came out of my eyes without warning, and quickly trickled down into a string, dripping on the suit skirt, leaving only a dark water stain.

Thinking about it now, the reconciliation meeting between him and Akai Shuichi gave her the feeling that he was going to leave her.

……

Nagasawa's voice contained a bit of pity for the elders, and he sighed heavily: "We also hope that Jiang Gu can come back alive, he is the hero of the country... So, if there is such a possibility, we don't want heroes The family members of the family cannot get the compensation they deserve.”

Yingying didn't make a sound, she closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down.This is not the time to cry, to yell "it can't be done".The worst news hasn't come yet, she has to believe him.

Although he had already pre-processed the affairs behind him, it was only regret that he wanted to avoid the worst from happening.If he knew before he left that the possibility of his death was more than [-]%, then he must not have been in that mood at home during the two days when he came back.

Not to mention following her will in the end to do something that might make her pregnant.

Wiping away tears, she raised her head, her eyes were red and her voice was trembling, but she revealed firmness: "Mr. Nagasawa, this may be the first document I signed under the name 'Jing Gu Yingying'. Bad results happen, I will sign; but now, I don't believe it, and I don't accept that he won't come back."

The letting go seven years ago, she will never do it again.

Nagasawa kept frowning, not knowing what to say to this persistent woman.

"...Let me join the action tomorrow night. Mr. Nagasawa." The tears on Yingying's face were still wet, and he smiled, "I will pick him up personally."

After Nagasawa came out, he closed the door of the interrogation room. Odagiri, who had been waiting outside, and the little policemen passing by at any time, whose faces were full of curiosity but did not dare to come up to talk to the boss.

He said: "Let her calm down inside, don't bother her."

Odagiri was taken aback: "Ori Mitsui..."

"Let her participate in tomorrow night's action."

Another unexpected sentence, without beginning or end.

"?this……"

"Don't arrange it on the front line, just let her go to the scene. Follow the backup police force."

This made everyone present puzzled, how did Orimei get involved with the people from the Police Department?Although a few people know that her mother was once quite prestigious in the police circle, why did she seem to be emotionally broken after she openly had a secret conversation with the leader of the police department?As for tomorrow night's task, not everyone is clear about it. Adding the word "front line" means protecting her...

Nagasawa turned the watch on his wrist and said without much explanation, as if talking to himself: "...that child will definitely get what he wants."

After finishing speaking, without any further delay, he and Odagiri emphasized the action of tomorrow night, and then left.

By the time Yingying came out, it was already half an hour later.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Sato standing against the wall at the door. The latter folded his arms and frowned, as if he was wondering whether to go in or not.As soon as he saw her, he immediately stood up straight, "Officer Mitsui..."

Yingying hummed lightly: "What do you want me to do?"

The redness of her eyes has not completely subsided, and the dry tears on her face are tight, and she walks towards the bathroom to wash her face.

"Ah...no, it was Minister Odagiri who asked me to take a look at you, for fear that you might have an accident..." Sato heard what happened just now, looking at her tears at this moment, he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and followed Ying He hesitated to speak behind his back.

Yingying was expressionless, and the people in the corridor whispered to each other when they saw her, but she didn't respond to it.

"... Police officer, you won't..." Of course Sato knew what they were discussing, after hesitating for a moment, he still asked everyone's question, "Is your marriage partner Director Nagasawa?"

……

……

This sentence successfully attracted Yingying's attention, she stopped and turned to face her: "Why do you say that?"

"...You didn't change your surname after you got married. I didn't care about it before, so I kept joking that your husband is a celebrity. But celebrities have to abide by the law, and husband and wife have to have the same surname. But now you even sign various documents with 'zhe Obviously, you don't have to change the name Mitsui Yingying'. Then, it can only show that your husband's job is not ordinary..."

As a senior official of the Police Agency, Nagasawa can explain it to a certain extent.

Yingying closed her eyes and sighed, "No."

"... huh?"

"Soon, you will be able to see my husband." Yingying walked slowly, with a low voice, "...don't worry."

Will definitely let you see.

That is the pride of our country.
