Chapter 161: Nagano Trip (Soba noodles, who’s favorite~)
The Kawamoto case was solved, and Morobushi Takaaki took the criminal back to the police station and said goodbye to the two people who assisted in the investigation before leaving.
"Thanks to both of you for your help, the case was resolved so quickly. I am very grateful."
The two people who were thanked stood in front of the door, listening to the other party's humble words.
Tsushima was holding a large object wrapped in cloth in her arms. She said with a smile, "No way. If it weren't for us, Officer Morobushi would have solved the case long ago. It was me who was so shameless as to ask for help~"
Zhu Fu Gaoming's abilities are indeed excellent, with quick thinking and extraordinary observation. Even when she inadvertently glanced at the location of her overalls pocket, the other party noticed it, and the subsequent reasoning process was even more synchronized and coordinated tacitly.
Zhu Fu Gao Ming said, "You are too kind. Miss Tsushima is indeed very capable. With your abilities, you two should be very popular figures in the detective world."
There are very few combinations of brother and sister who are detectives. In addition, both of them are outstanding in both appearance and ability, so they will naturally attract the attention of many detective enthusiasts.
Zhu Fu Gaoming's question was just a simple test. Apart from wanting to know Jingguang's condition, he had no other purpose.
At the same time, these words would not arouse suspicion or vigilance. They were just out of his own curiosity and would not cause any trouble to Jingguang.
"No, that's not it. Being a detective is just a hobby. Our main professions are different." Tsushima corrected with a grin.
If Zhu Fu Gao Ming wanted to find out their background based on the words "detective brother and sister", his efforts would be in vain!
"In fact, I am an unemployed vagrant who takes various private jobs every day to support myself."
"He is different, he is in the system~"
After she made fun of herself, she winked and made some subtle hints to others, but the meaning of her words was ambiguous and it was hard to tell what she meant.
——What does she mean by this?
——Is it an illusion, or...
If it wasn't the first time they met, Zhu Fu Gaoming would have thought that the other party was deliberately testing him.
In other words, Jingguang's identity was in doubt.
Zhu Fugaoming still had a serious expression on his face, but he was already thinking about it in his mind.
"Could it be that Guang-kun is also a policeman?" It would be better to speak out boldly at this time rather than changing the subject.
Zhu Fugaoming looked interested and asked freely.
Midorikawa Hikaru, who is at the center of the topic, thinks more deeply than his brother because he knows more intelligence than his brother.
In fact, Midorikawa Hikaru didn't know what Tsushima was doing. He said something that made people think too much. It didn't mean whether he was saying it to him or what the meaning was.
——I’m afraid his and Brother Gao Ming’s identities have been discovered.
This was the worst idea, second only to his identity being directly exposed.
Although it was already an open secret on Tsushima's side, he didn't want to be caught with too many handles.
When he opened his mouth to evade the question, Tsushima was one step ahead of him.
"How is that possible? If he's a policeman, why would he be a detective? No, my brother is an employee of the Postal Corporation. He's a very niche person, right? You definitely haven't guessed it!" Tsushima said proudly.
Yes, the deliverymen of the Japanese post office are also civil servants, but due to the continuous increase of private post offices, they seem to be gradually fading out of the civil service. *
Midorikawa Hikaru: ...
"Well, yes, I'm a postal delivery man." He nodded calmly, accepting another role besides detective. He hoped that next time he pretended to be someone else, he would still remember his role when facing Brother Gao Ming.
A detective sibling, Guangjun, the older brother, is actually a postal deliveryman.
The two seem to have nothing to do with each other, and indeed they do.
Things are unpredictable. These days, even couriers have to become detectives!
Zhu Fu Gaoming couldn't help but laugh, because his brother's frustrated expression was so funny.
Facing Jingguang's obscure but condemning gaze, Zhufu Gaoming coughed to cover it up and said seriously, "I see, it's a very good job."
In order to avoid losing his composure, Zhu Fu Gaoming took the lead in changing the subject, "This should be your first time in Baima Village, right?"
"There's a delicious soba restaurant nearby. You can go try it."
It was just time for dinner, so Zhu Fu Gao Ming suggested it.
One of Nagano’s specialties is soba noodles.
Perhaps only Midorikawa Mitsuru understood why Zhufu Gaoming specifically introduced the food.
——I haven’t eaten Nagano’s soba for a long time.
Nagano is not only his hometown, it also carries the memories of him and his family, some happy, some regretful, some painful, but he still keeps them here.
After the few people parted, Tsushima and Midorikawa Mitsuru prepared to eat soba noodles as introduced by Morobushi Takaaki.
On the road, Tsushima suddenly stopped, looking stunned.
Confused, Midorikawa Hikaru looked back at someone and asked, "What's wrong? Did you forget something?"
Tsushima remained silent and shook his head.
Seeing that no one was able to say it clearly, Midorikawa Hikaru continued to guess, "Is it because the thing is too heavy for you to lift it?"
He looked Tsushima up and down several times. The large object wrapped in cloth was held in his arms. This was something that Kawamoto Aoi stuffed into Tsushima's arms before they left.
It's an eagle sculpture.
The size is just right for Tsushima to hug it, and as for the weight, it is a solid piece of wood after all, so it is not light but not too heavy either.
Given Midorikawa Hikaru's understanding of Tsushima's strength, it is difficult for him to judge whether the other party can no longer lift it.
He offered to help at the beginning, but the other party turned away and refused, so Midorikawa Hikaru didn't offer to help again.
Now that I saw the other party stopped moving, I thought he wanted to help but was too embarrassed to speak.
Tsushima, who was suspected of being weak, nodded and shook his head.
Midorikawa Hikaru: ...
——What is going on here?
Seeing that the other party didn't understand what he meant, Tsushima took a deep breath and said, "I really don't want to hold this thing anymore, but Midorikawa-kun, do you know why we are here?"
Hearing this, Midorikawa Hikaru: "..."
"Organizational mission?"
The original purpose of this trip was to complete the task assigned by the organization.
Investigate Nagao Kojiro and recover the organization's items.
The former is already clear, the latter is the key.
Kojiro Nagao is dead, and no one knows where he put the organization's things. What they have to do now is to find them and bring them back to the organization before the mission is completed.
"So, are we going back to the Nagao family now?" Midorikawa Hikaru hinted at going back to conduct a sneak search.
Having been delayed until now by a series of events, it is time to continue the organization’s tasks.
"No need, I already know where he put it. Let's continue eating soba~" Tsushima walked in front of Midorikawa Hikaru and naturally handed the things he was holding in both hands to him.
Midorikawa Hikaru took it casually and looked at Tsushima in confusion.
The man sprinted out at lightning speed, shouting provocatively, "The last person to arrive at the soba shop will pay!"
Tsushima just ran away like that.
The green river light in the wind was messy: ???
Is it because of this that you are acting here and have been planning it for so long?
Tsushima: My wallet is missing~
(?>?)
