Iwamoto leaned in the shadow of the corner, staring fiercely at the White Bear Cafe.
It was the woman here who not only made his successful mission a failure, but made him pay the price.
Thinking of escaping from the police car just now, Iwamoto couldn't help feeling frightened.
If it hadn't cost a huge price to borrow the power of 'that'.
He must be in the holding cell by now.
No!
It's the critical ICU.
Kill this woman first!
Then, kill that girl again!
These two people cannot be let go no matter what!
However, that girl...
The killer felt a little scared when he thought of Sasakura's punch.
Such a punch was beyond common sense.
What kind of person would it be to have such a punch?
The answer is self-evident.
Another world!
As a person who is wandering on the periphery of the other world, it is naturally impossible for him to take action directly.
So, he chose Hui Lijing.
In his opinion, Hui Lijing is the best soft persimmon to handle.
jingle!
The doorbell rang in the distance.
A bald old man with a kind face came out.
Iwamoto had just met this old man.
He seemed to be the grandfather of one of the children just now.
In short, he is an insignificant person.
Therefore, Iwamoto just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
What he cares more about is the timing of killing Hui Lijing.
While Iwamoto was waiting, the bald old man walked over.
Looking at this scene, Iwamoto frowned.
The biggest concern with any plan is the unexpected.
Do you want to kill this old man?
It will cause some trouble.
But as long as I handle it well enough, there will be no problem.
After all, this old man looks a bit like Alzheimer's.
Thinking of this, Iwamoto immediately confirmed that there was no one around, and then rushed in front of the bald old man.
"If you want to blame, blame your bad fate!"
"Go to hell!"
Iwamoto muttered in a low voice, raised his right hand high, and then slashed it down hard.
He is the most professionally trained killer.
A hand knife can easily break five bricks.
Not to mention an old man with such a hand knife.
Even a middle-aged man would not be able to bear the blow.
The bald old man seemed to have no reaction at all.
With a smile on his face.
It was only when the knife was about to land on his head that he turned his head.
Snap!
The knife hit the bald old man on the shoulder.
After the crisp sound, there was... severe pain!
Click, click!
The sound of broken bones came from the shoulder that was in contact with the bald old man. Iwamoto was stunned for a moment, and then the pain suddenly spread, and his nose and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
"How, how could it be?"
Iwamoto murmured subconsciously.
His eyes were a little distracted.
Can't seem to accept reality.
The bald old man was still smiling.
It appears to be extremely ‘core good’.
Under Iwamoto's attention, the bald old man also raised his right arm.
Then, smash it down.
Bang!
In an extremely dull sound.
Iwamoto disappeared on the spot.
Or, to be more precise... smash!
Turned into powder.
After the evening wind blew, everything went away with the wind.
Nothing has changed.
The only thing that changed was 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?"
"Ah? Have you eaten everything?"
"Then can you buy another one for grandpa?"
The bald old man smiled and took Cherry's hand, saying goodbye to Hui Lijing.
"Please accept this."
Hui Lijing quickly ran out of the bar and handed a packaged pudding to the old man.
"Thank you for always bringing your cherries here."
"Maybe for you, this is just an unintentional move, but it is because of your appearance that it reminds me of my original dream."
"I can't do more for you, but please accept this pudding."
Hui Lijing said with great sincerity.
Because what Hui Lijing said is true.
After becoming a detective, Hui Lijing almost forgot about her dream of becoming a barista.
It wasn't until Hui Lijing worked part-time in her sister's shop that she accidentally met Cherry and her grandfather one afternoon, that she gradually responded to her original dream.
'The real strength of human beings is self-change!'
'And if you want to change, just persist!'
'Remember your first dream!'
'That's where your motivation comes from!'
'If you have forgotten, then stop and think back to the 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 sit-ups, and the hardships you had during the 10-kilometer run every day in order to achieve your dream!'
'At this time, you will have the iron will to not turn on the air conditioner in summer and winter!'
'Maybe it's so painful at first that I want to take a day off, but for my dream, no matter how painful it is, I have to persist. Even if I train to vomit blood every day, even if my legs are so heavy that I can't move, I still have to do squats, even if I can't move my arms,
I had to continue doing push-ups even though I was rattling. After a year and a half, I noticed changes in my body. I became bald, and I also became stronger. In other words, I had to work hard to train myself even if I didn’t hesitate to go bald.
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 her, it was so ridiculous.
But it was because of these words that she thought of her original dream.
Therefore, she is very grateful to Cherry's grandfather.
And this time, it was also to express gratitude.
"is that so?"
Cherry's grandfather scratched his bald head and took the pudding with a smile, just like an ordinary old man on the roadside receiving a thank you gift.
They are all so happy.
"How could someone recall their first dream because of grandpa?"
Cherry looked surprised.
"Of course, grandpa used to..."
"But it's very strong!"
"You can defeat monsters with just one punch!"
Cherry continued without waiting for her grandfather to finish.
Cherry's grandfather laughed again.
"Well, Cherry remembers it very clearly."
After praising his granddaughter with a smile, Cherry's grandfather turned around, faced Hui Lijing, and said in a serious tone: "Thank you for the pudding. If you have any trouble in the future, please come to me - some small things,
I can still help you deal with it."
Facing the old man's words, Hui Lijing smiled and bowed.
Of course she didn't take it seriously.
However, she felt the old man's kindness.
Having such goodwill is enough.
"Thanks."
Hui Lijing thanked her again.
Watching Cherry and Grandpa leave.
jingle!
The wind chime in front of the door rang again.
Ryosuke and Urashima rushed in with the wind.
After seeing the stunned Hui Lijing, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"What's wrong?"
Hui Lijing was startled.
"Hui Lijing, it's great that you're okay!"
"That bastard Iwamoto ran away!"
Urashima said very quickly.
"Iwamoto?"
Hui Lijing frowned.
"This is the murderer who just poisoned and killed the organizer of the Big Eating Competition at 'Gourmet Ichiban'. Just now..."
"Do you have a quiet private room here?"
"Where's Jason?"
Ryousuke interrupted Urashima's words.
"some."
"Jason is upstairs, do you need me to call him?"
Hui Lijing asked.
"Trouble."
Ryousuke said apologetically.
…
About two minutes later, Jason was sitting in the private room of the White Bear Cafe.
This is a small private room. The decoration is consistent with the style of the hall. It has a delicate and a little warm feeling. It has a round table and a circular sofa built around the round table.
There is a wooden chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
Aromatherapy is lit on the table.
The faint smell of sandalwood and grass drifts away with the green smoke.
"This is that store... my sister customized the incense, which is very popular among young people."
Hui Lijing said this.
"Feel it."
“This place is very suitable for young people to come.”
"Especially the boys and girls after school."
Ryousuke said while touching his pocket, and then he frowned.
"Urashima goes and buys me a pack of cigarettes."
Ryousuke ordered.
"Yes, Sir Ryousuke."
The young Urashima immediately walked outside.
Jason gestured towards Hui Lijing.
The latter immediately turned around and walked out of the private room.
"Those bastards have done it again!"
"Ignore the law!"
“The ‘criminal’ is released again!”
After Jason and himself were left alone, the middle-aged detective no longer concealed his anger.
His eyes were red, he was growling, and his fists were clenched even more tightly.
Jason remained silent.
He understood very well where Ryousuke's anger came from at this time.
In addition to his own hatred for this kind of behavior, Ryousuke also believes that he has become an agent of the "Search Zero Section", and the power hidden behind the scenes will be restrained.
But who knows, the other party didn't do this.
In fact, he took action without even a trace of hesitation.
This was undoubtedly a slap on Ryousuke's face.
This made Ryosuke extremely angry.
It’s not about being incompetent and furious!
Because, this incident also made Ryousuke wake up instantly.
He still falls far short!
This gap allows the forces behind the scenes to act unscrupulously.
"I need you to do me a favor."
Ryousuke spoke.
"explain."
Following the previous exchange, Jason did not refuse and said directly.
"I'm going to search a certain guy tonight, and I need you to cover for me."
"This guy is one of my biggest suspects."
"If this incident in Iwashita has anything to do with him, he will definitely reveal his flaws tonight."
Ryosuke said.
"Can."
"In the evening, Master Tongshou Temple invited me to dinner."
"You can go with me and find a chance to leave later."
Jason nodded.
He didn't ask what the flaw was.
This made Ryosuke relax slightly.
Because, there are some things that Ryousuke cannot say.
But Jason helped him so calmly, and he didn't say anything. Isn't it a bit too much?
Suddenly, Ryousuke fell into that dilemma again.
Just like Jason said, Ryousuke is such a hypocritical person.
Not a bad person.
It's just that sometimes, it's really awkward.
After struggling for a few seconds, Ryosuke gritted his teeth.
"Jason, I hope you can keep what I say to you secret."
After Ryosuke finished speaking, he looked at Jason with an almost pleading look.
"good."
Jason nodded again.
"This guy was my partner for a while, and then we parted ways because of some ideas. He was a good person before, but he... needed money."
Ryousuke 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.
After all, it all depends on the person themselves.
So, Jason was not surprised.
After all, in an environment like the 'city that never sleeps', one or two good people will rarely appear.
What's more, it's the world of the copy in front of you.
"Um."
"I'll talk to him."
"He most likely knows something."
Ryousuke said as he dug into his pocket again.
I took out a pack of cigarettes, but unfortunately there was really no cigarette inside.
The middle-aged detective threw the cigarette case on the table.
"Why hasn't Urashima come back yet?"
Ryousuke muttered.
Then, footsteps came from outside the box.
Urashima is back.
"Sir Ryosuke, your cigarette."
"It's the Dragon Palace, right?"
Urashima handed Ryousuke the cigarette with 'Ryuugu' written on it.
"Thank you."
Ryousuke said, tearing open the package and lighting it on his own.
Jason's eyes glanced at the word 'Dragon Palace' on the cigarette box.
Then, I connected it with the surname ‘Urashima’.
Involuntarily, he thought of something.
"Urashima, have you ever been a fisherman?"
Jason asked.
"Fisherman?"
Urashima was stunned. He was really stunned by Jason's sudden question. However, the young man still thought about it very seriously for a moment, and finally said in an uncertain tone: "I have never been a fisherman.
, But, I vaguely remember that my grandfather once said to me when I was a child, it seemed that his grandfather was a fisherman, and he was a very powerful one. I can’t remember the specifics."
Fisherman!
Urashima!
Dragon Palace!
Jason's mouth secreted a large amount 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 in your ancestors."
"good!"
"I'm going to make a call right now!"
Urashima was still confused though.
However, facing Jason's request, the young man did not refuse at all.
Jason had already impressed this young man with his strength.
Jason looked at Urashima's back with eyes filled with excitement.
Originally it was just weeds on the roadside.
But I accidentally stirred up some weeds.
But the gold bricks underneath were exposed.
This... is really quite sudden.
But Jason was full of joy.
If Urashima's grandfather was really the fisherman, a table of 'lavish delicacies' seemed to be placed in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
Ryousuke saw something strange about Jason and immediately asked.
"I discovered something very interesting."
As Jason said this, he looked towards the door again.
