The police officer named Tsuda did not ask about his use. After returning to the crime scene in the police car, Fujiwara Yu picked out one of the intact oranges, carefully washed it and wiped it with a handkerchief, as if he were treating a treasure.
.
Miyano Akemi noticed that Fujiwara was still depressed after catching the criminal, and realized that he was trying to get into trouble. She couldn't help but stepped forward to comfort him:
"Fujiwara-kun, I think you have done a great job."
The wiping action paused for a moment. Fujiwara Yu raised his eyes and looked at Saito Masami. After a long silence, he said in a low voice:
"...I know that as a future police officer, it is not good to have such thoughts."
He knew very well that the police could not handle cases based on his own emotions, so during the investigation of the scene and the reasoning process, he tried his best to suppress negative emotions to a minimum. So now that he could finally breathe, he was once again trapped in a corner.
Infinite loop.
If I had insisted on sending him upstairs, wouldn't this have happened?
The answer is no.
Even if he went upstairs at that time, he probably wouldn't have been able to prevent such a thing from happening. After seeing the surveillance video during the real time of the crime, he understood that unless he stayed at Grandma Huasen's house as a guest, the tragedy would be on him.
It will still happen after you leave.
There aren't so many what-ifs in this world. It's a matter of course and there's no way to change it.
"Actually, you can change your perspective and don't be limited to the one you think about."
"?"
Fujiwara Yu blinked twice, a little confused about what Masami Saito meant. Can you see anything from another angle?
"Because of the efforts of you and the police, this case was successfully solved, wasn't it? Criminals like this who don't understand self-reflection will continue to commit crimes." Miyano Akemi said at the end, with her hands behind her back and looking at the sporadic stars in the night sky.
With a bright light, he said in a gentle tone: "You at least stopped him from continuing to commit crimes, didn't you?"
To prevent further crimes? It seems to be the case. This is indeed something I have never thought about before.
Fujiwara Yu realized that he was indeed inferior to Saito Masami in some aspects. In the past, he would have fallen into an endless loop and eventually become a knot in his heart. But now someone will enlighten him in a way that he can accept, which is a different experience.
.
I feel like as long as she is here, I don't need to worry about the future.
"Well, I'm too limited."
Miyano Akemi just smiled and did not continue the topic. Instead, her eyes fell on the orange in Fujiwara's hand and asked aloud:
"Are you planning to give this to Xiaoyong's parents?"
"Well, after all, these are Xiaoyong's favorite oranges, and her grandma bought them for him."
It was this ordinary orange that allowed him to find key evidence and convict the murderer.
"But it will take some time to come back from overseas, so I plan to entrust it to someone else."
Fujiwara Yu finally handed the orange to the first witness Yoshie Kawai, and left a simple letter to Xiaoyong's parents who were returning from overseas. He crumpled up the letter with the truth and put it in
In my pocket, I put white lies instead.
You shouldn't pass on that pain to the people closest to the victim. Maybe it would be better to tell them to go peacefully.
"I'll take you home. It's getting late."
Having just experienced a case like that, I really have no appetite for dinner.
"OK."
"Well, let's go then."
The shadows of the two people looked very long under the illumination of the street lights. Miyano Akemi walked in front and led the way, while Fujiwara Yuu followed at the side with similar steps, shortening the steps in order to match the other's steps.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m reluctant to separate, or because the journey is really far, and the time passes unexpectedly long.
It wasn't until she arrived near the apartment that Miyano Akemi slowly turned around and said:
"Fujiwara-kun, just send me here. Please pay attention to safety on the way back."
She did not choose to walk downstairs to the apartment, because she knew that when she turned the corner, she would see the organization's monitors guarding downstairs. She did not want Fujiwara's appearance to be remembered by them... in case they knew that Fujiwara-kun was from the police academy.
Students will definitely choose the option "to avoid future troubles".
Fujiwara Yu didn't think too much. He put one hand in his pocket and nodded. When his mood recovered, he rarely joked and raised his left hand in a salute posture, revealing the tiger teeth on the upper left and said with a smile:
"Yes, I promise to complete the task."
The little tiger teeth that could not be hidden were exposed with a heartfelt smile. Miyano Akemi also noticed for the first time that the tiger teeth on Fujiwara's upper left side were sharper and slightly protruding. Such a toothy smile was inexplicably a bit silly.
"...Is there something on your face?" Fujiwara Yu noticed that she was staring at his face without blinking. He couldn't help but asked.
"No, I just feel that Fujiwara-kun also has such a side."
"Am I too boring on weekdays?"
"No, it's very interesting." Miyano Akemi also imitated Fujiwara's posture and returned the salute, and said with a slight smile: "Fujiwara-kun, who agreed to complete the task, wish you a good night in advance."
"OK, good night."
Fujiwara Yu turned around and walked a few steps, then silently stretched out his left hand and fell into deep thought.
I really didn’t expect that I would do such a thing. Just like what the book said, if you like someone, you will occasionally “become stupid”.
——
23:47 after the interrogation ended.
At nearly midnight, the izakaya near the Metropolitan Police Department will receive criminal police officers who come to team building after work. The small izakaya is overcrowded. The noisy environment in the store also makes everyone chat loudly.
, I wonder if my voice will be hoarse when I go to work tomorrow.
Sitting in the corner, Tsuda Yuxiang did not feel happy about finishing the case. He shook the sake glass in his hand and felt a little worried, but soon he smiled, which made Officer Nakajima sitting opposite a little confused. He put down
Wine Glass said in confusion:
"Tsuda, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? This sudden smile is really eye-catching."
"Thank you for your concern, senior. I just suddenly wanted to understand why he said that." Tsuda Yuxiang picked up the orange as a dessert on the table and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that child was not arrogant at all, and he was very sympathetic to the victim.
For the sake of the patient.”
Officer Nakajima frowned and carefully reasoned about the "him" in his descendant's mouth. After noticing the orange in Tsuda's hand, he suddenly realized:
"Are you talking about Fujiwara? That kid is indeed quite good. After graduation, he should become the target of competition among various departments in the Investigation Division, right?"
"I think so. I really hope I have the opportunity to work with him in the future. I should be able to learn a lot."
"Hey, Tsuda, you should be more confident. After all, you are also a quasi-professional team. You will definitely have a longer road ahead than me in the future. You are not bad, my junior." Officer Nakajima, who took off his police uniform, became
He had to have a lot of humor. He didn't want the junior he was optimistic about to be hit by the police academy student from the professional group.
But at the end of the chant, Officer Nakajima shook the sake bottle in his hand, his eyes were blurred, and he said vaguely:
"... Speaking of which, it's really nice to work with him. It should be a lot easier haha... You can save some brain cells... burp!"
Tsuda Yuxiang shook his head helplessly when he heard Nakajima-senpai's words. He didn't know if he was telling the truth while drunk. If seniors wanted to work together, they didn't want to learn from each other's strengths, right? They just thought that working together would reduce stress and allow them to be lazy.
If such words were heard by senior Mu Mu, he would definitely be reprimanded.
