Iwamoto leaned against the shadow of the corner, staring fiercely at the White Bear Cafe.
It was the woman here who had not only failed his successful mission, but had cost him.
Thinking of escaping from the police car just now, Iwamoto couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
Borrowing the power of 'that', if not at great cost.
He must be in the holding cell by now.
No!
It's the ICU.
Get rid of this woman first!
Then, kill that girl again!
These two people, no matter what, can't let go!
However, that girl...
Thinking of Sha Cang's punch, the killer felt a little terrified.
Such a punch is beyond common sense.
What kind of person would a person with such a punch be
The answer is self-evident.
In the world!
As a person hovering around the periphery of the inner world, it is naturally impossible for him to make a direct move.
Therefore, he chose Hui Lijing.
In his opinion, Hui Lijing is the best soft persimmon.
jingle!
The doorbell rang in the distance.
A bald old man with a kind face came out.
Iwamoto had just met this old man.
It seems to be the grandfather of one of the children just now.
In short, an irrelevant person.
Therefore, Iwamoto just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
What he cared more about was the timing of killing Hui Lijing.
And while Iwamoto was waiting, the bald old man came over.
Seeing this scene, Iwamoto frowned.
With any plan, the biggest worry is accidents.
Do you want to kill this old man
can cause some trouble.
But as long as I handle it well enough, it's fine.
After all, this old man looked a bit like Alzheimer's.
Thinking of this, Iwamoto immediately rushed to the bald old man after confirming that there was no one around.
"If you want to blame it, blame your bad life!"
"go to hell!"
Iwamoto muttered in a low voice, raised his right hand high, and then slammed it down heavily.
He is the most professionally trained killer.
With a hand knife, five bricks can be broken easily.
Don't call me an old man with such a hand knife.
Even if it is a middle-aged man, as long as he is hit, he can't bear it.
The bald old man seemed completely unresponsive.
With a smile on his face.
Only when the knife in his hand was about to fall on the top of his head did he tilt his head.
Snapped!
The hand knife hit the shoulder of the bald old man.
After the crisp sound, it was... severe pain!
Click, click!
The sound of bones breaking came from the shoulder that was in contact with the bald old man. Iwamoto was stunned for a moment, and then the pain spread suddenly, and snot and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
"Why, how come?"
Iwamoto murmured subconsciously.
His vision is a little distracted.
It seems impossible to accept reality.
The bald old man was still smiling.
It seems extremely 'nuclear good'.
Under Iwamoto's attention, the bald old man also raised his right arm.
Next, drop it.
boom!
In the extremely dull sound.
Iwamoto disappeared in place.
Or, to be more precise... Smash!
Turned into powder.
After the evening wind blows, everything goes with the wind.
All in all, have not changed.
The only thing that has changed is Iwamoto.
The bald old man seemed to have done something very ordinary, so he turned his back and walked slowly towards the White Bear Cafe.
"Cherry, where's Grandpa's pudding?"
"Huh? Have you eaten everything?"
"Then can I buy another one for Grandpa?"
The bald old man smiled and took Cherry's hand, saying goodbye to Hui Lijing.
"This, please accept."
Hui Lijing hurried out of the bar and handed a packaged pudding to the old man.
"Thank you for always coming here with cherries."
"Maybe for you, this is just an unintentional move, but it is because of your appearance that I am reminded of my original dream."
"I can't do more for you, but please accept this pudding."
Hui Lijing said sincerely.
Because what Hui Lijing said is true.
After becoming a detective, Hui Lijing almost forgot her dream of becoming a barista.
It wasn't until after working part-time in her sister's shop that Hui Lijing accidentally met Cherry and the other's grandfather one afternoon, did she gradually respond to her original dream.
'The true strength of human beings is self-change! '
'And want to change, is to insist! '
'Remember the original dream! '
'That's where your motivation comes from! '
'If you forget, then you stop and think back to the time when you did 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 sit-ups, and the hardships of running 10 kilometers every day to make your dreams come true! '
'At this time, you will have the iron will to not turn on the air conditioner in summer and winter! '
'Maybe it was painful at the beginning, and I wanted to take a day off, but for my dream, no matter how painful it is, I will persist, even if I vomit blood every day after training, even if my legs are too heavy to move, I still have to squat. I have to continue to do push-ups even if I am rattling. After a year and a half, I noticed the changes in my body. I am bald, and I have also become stronger. That is to say: I have to exercise myself desperately with the aura of baldness. That's the only secret to being strong! '
This is what Grandpa Cherry and Cherry said.
Hui Lijing overheard.
Then, such words reminded her of her original dream.
Although in the eyes of Cherry and the children around, it is so ridiculous.
But she really thought of her original dream because of such words.
So, she is very grateful to Cherry's grandpa.
And this time, it was also to express my gratitude.
"is that so?"
Cherry's grandfather scratched his bald head, and took the pudding with a smile, just like the ordinary old people on the side of the road when they received the thank you gift, no different.
They are all so happy.
"Someone will recall their original dream because of grandpa?"
Cherry looked surprised.
"Of course, Grandpa..."
"But it's very strong!"
"You can knock down monsters with one punch!"
Cherry didn't wait for Grandpa to finish, so he continued.
And Cherry's grandpa laughed again.
"Well, Cherry remembers it very clearly."
After complimenting his granddaughter with a big smile, Cherry's grandfather turned around and said to Hui Lijing in a serious tone: "Thank you for the pudding. If you have any troubles in the future, please come to me—for small things, I will help you." It can still help you.”
Facing the words of the old man, Hui Lijing smiled and bowed.
Of course she didn't take it seriously.
However, she felt the kindness of the old man.
With such kindness, it is enough.
"Thanks."
Hui Lijing thanks again.
Watching Cherry and Grandpa leave.
jingle!
The wind chimes in front of the door rang again.
Ryosuke and Urashima rushed in with the wind.
Seeing Hui Lijing with a stunned expression, the two heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
"What's wrong?"
Hui Lijing was startled.
"Hui Lijing, it's great that you're fine!"
"That bastard Iwamoto ran away!"
Urashima spoke extremely fast.
"Iwamoto?"
Hui Lijing frowned.
"It's the murderer who poisoned the organizer of the Big Eater Competition in 'Gourmet Ichiba' just now..."
"Do you have a quiet private room here?"
"Where's Jason?"
Ryosuke interrupted Urashima's words.
"some."
"Jason is upstairs, do you need me to call him?"
Hui Lijing asked.
"Trouble."
Ryosuke said apologetically.
…
About two minutes later, Jason sat in the private room of the White Bear Cafe.
This is a small private room, and the decoration and layout are consistent with the style of the hall. They all belong to the delicate and a little warm feeling. There is a round table and a circular sofa built around the round table.
A wooden chandelier hangs from the ceiling.
Aromatherapy is lit on the table.
The faint scent of sandalwood and grass drifts with the green smoke.
"This is the...my sister's custom-made incense, which is very popular among young people."
Hui Lijing said so.
"felt it."
"It's a great place for young people to come."
"Especially boys and girls after school."
Ryosuke touched his pocket while talking, and then he frowned.
"Urashima is going to buy me a pack of cigarettes."
Ryosuke ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Ryosuke."
The young Urashima immediately walked outside.
Jason gestured at Hui Lijing.
The latter immediately turned around and walked out of the private room.
"Those bastards did it again!"
"Disregard the law!"
"Freed the 'criminal' again!"
After only Jason and himself were left, the middle-aged detective didn't hide his anger anymore.
His eyes were red, he growled, and his fists were clenched even more.
Jason remained silent.
He understood where Ryosuke's anger came from at this time.
In addition to his own hatred for this kind of behavior, it is also because Ryosuke thinks that he has become an agent of the "Search Zero Section", and the forces hidden behind the scenes will be restrained.
But who knows, the other party didn't do this.
Even, he acted without even the slightest hesitation.
This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Ryosuke.
This made Ryosuke extremely angry.
Not impotent rage!
Because, this incident also made Ryosuke sober instantly.
He is still far behind!
Such a gap made the behind-the-scenes forces act recklessly.
"I need you to do me a favor."
Ryosuke said.
"explain."
With the previous communication, Jason did not refuse, and said directly.
"I'm going to search someone tonight, and I need you to cover me."
"This guy is one of my biggest suspects."
"If this incident in Yanxia is related to him, he will definitely show his flaws tonight."
Ryosuke said.
"Can."
"In the evening, Master Tongshou Temple invited me to dinner."
"You can go with you, and then find a chance to leave later."
Jason nodded.
He didn't ask what the flaw was.
This made Ryosuke slightly relieved.
Because, there are some things that Ryosuke can't say.
But Jason has helped him so frankly, he didn't say anything, isn't it a little too much
Suddenly, Ryosuke fell into that dilemma again.
As Jason said, Ryosuke is such a hypocritical person.
Not a bad guy.
It's just sometimes, really awkward.
After struggling for a few seconds, Ryosuke gritted his teeth.
"Jason, I hope you can keep secret what I said to you afterwards."
After Ryosuke finished speaking, he looked at Jason with almost pleading eyes.
"good."
Jason nodded again.
"This guy was my partner for a while, and then, because of some ideas, we parted ways. He was a nice guy, but he... needed money."
Ryosuke lowered his voice and said.
"Black police?"
Jason asked calmly.
There are good people and bad people in the world.
It's not about career.
Any profession is a medium.
In the end, it all depends on the person himself.
So, Jason was not surprised.
After all, in an environment like the 'city that never sleeps', one or two good people will rarely appear.
Not to mention the world of the copy in front of you.
"Um."
"I'll talk to him."
"He has a high probability of knowing something."
Ryosuke took out his pocket again while talking.
A pack of cigarettes was taken out, but unfortunately there was really no cigarette in it.
The middle-aged criminal policeman threw the cigarette case on the table.
"Why hasn't Urashima come back?"
Ryosuke muttered.
Then, footsteps came from outside the box.
Urashima is back.
"Mr. Ryosuke, your cigarette."
"It's Dragon Palace, right?"
Urashima handed Ryosuke a cigarette with 'Ryugu' written on it in his hand.
"Thanks."
As Ryosuke said, he tore open the package and ordered it on his own.
Jason's eyes glanced at the word 'Dragon Palace' on the cigarette package.
Then, contact the surname 'Urashima'.
Involuntarily, he thought of something.
"Have you ever been a fisherman, Urashima?"
Jason asked.
"Fisherman?"
Urashima was taken aback. He was really caught by Jason's sudden question. However, the young man thought about it seriously for a while, and finally, in an uncertain tone, said: "I have never been a fisherman before. , However, I vaguely remember my grandfather once said to me when I was a child, as if his grandfather was a fisherman, or a very good one, I can’t remember the specifics.”
Fisherman!
Urashima!
Dragon Palace!
Jason's mouth secreted a lot of saliva almost subconsciously.
He restrained himself from making strange noises, and said in a very calm tone, "If possible, Urashima, please ask your grandfather about a very powerful fisherman from your ancestors."
"good!"
"I'm going to call right now!"
Urashima was still confused though.
However, facing Jason's request, the young man did not refuse at all.
Jason had already convinced the young man with his strength.
And Jason looked at Urashima's back with bright eyes.
It was just a weed on the side of the road.
But inadvertently touched the weeds.
But the gold bricks underneath were exposed.
This... was really sudden.
But Jason was full of joy.
If Urashima's grandfather is really that fisherman, a table of 'rich food' seems to be placed in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Jason's strange behavior, Ryosuke asked immediately.
"I found something very interesting."
Jason said so, but looked in the direction of the door again.
Outside the cafe, the doorbell rang.
Someone else is coming.
