After praying at the shrine, the "new adults" who have completed this important step of the coming-of-age ceremony scatter to find their families and complete their own family gatherings. At this time, there were already many relatives and friends of the "new adults" gathered there. The new adults will once again be blessed by more people here, and complete many joyful activities such as photos and performances. This kind of party that only his relatives attend, and Aiko Imamiya can't participate in it. had to say goodbye and break up with Du Pingping.

In the evenings, the new adults will attend small, intimate gatherings that belong to the new adults according to their own plans. This kind of intimate gathering is a bit like the male bird in the animal kingdom building a nest to attract and entice the female. Usually the boys hold a banquet and then find a way to invite the girls. Of course, non-adult girls are also allowed, but they can only drink non-alcoholic beverages. The existence of Du Fair's small group to attract girls is naturally convenient and easy to use. Although Du Ping was absent-minded about the disappearance of Miyako Kazama, everyone had to be slightly higher in this magical drink that could finally be banned by these young boys and girls for many years-wine.

Mizoda Tongbao, who had been sitting next to Du Pingping, pulled away a girl who had taken off her costume, and she sat down next to Du Pingping as a matter of course and poured a new glass of wine for Du Pingping.

Girl, "Classmate Du Pingping, you don't have a real girlfriend yet, right?"

Mizoda Tongbao, who was forced to leave, stood aside and helped Du Ping to answer, "Yes, our family's Du Ping has never had a girlfriend! You must know that our family's Du Ping is very popular with girls at school!"

The girl was as concerned as the eldest sister, "Is it because our Du Ping's vision is too high?"

Mizoda Tongbao hurriedly shook his hand, "That's not the case! The original Du Ping, but we are a very simple existence!"

Girl, "What's the reason for that?"

Mizoda Tongbao was heartbroken, "It should be stupid to learn to learn!"

Immediately, the whole private room was filled with laughter. Du Pingping got up to say goodbye, and walked out of the private room in the name of going to the bathroom. When the door closed, there was a laughter inside. It's as if the inside and outside have become two different worlds.

Du Pingping was slightly stunned, looking at the next door, as if a voice was telling him: From now on, his son's classmates and playmates will slowly and continuously separate from his life trajectory, and they will become more and more distant.

A beautifully renovated boudoir for girls. Aiko Imamiya stood at the window, looking at the darkness of Shino's still continuous lights. I felt as if I was alone. The uncle and partner who used to exist in the coming-of-age ceremony that he planned are now either dead, imprisoned, or on the run. There are also those who change their identity to belong to others like themselves, calling their own names. But can they really live someone else's life with themselves?

Aiko Imamiya looked back at the oval dressing mirror in the room, which was one person wide and one person high, where the beautiful girls were still dressed in the same costumes that only girls in the middle of the day wore for coming-of-age ceremonies. She's so beautiful, so beautiful.

Involuntarily, Aiko Imamiya walked in front of this standing mirror in fascination and stroked the beautiful girl in the mirror with her hand.

Is she herself, or is she the girl who understands the flowers like snow?

It seems that in the eyes, Aiko Imamiya reappears in the eyes of a short-haired girl in a camouflage military uniform and an assault rifle, the girl named Aiko Imamiya.

As if suddenly, the girl in the mirror and the girl in the memory began to slowly coincide.

The text message on her mobile phone suddenly rang, waking up the girl who was in a daze at this time.

Aiko Imamiya took the mobile phone and opened it to see that it was an unfamiliar number sending a love message showing her youthful love. When Aiko Imamiya habitually wanted to delete it immediately, her hand involuntarily stopped.

Early in the morning, the Asamun Kurama Newspaper Office belonged to Miyako Kazama, and Du Ping was led in by the staff. Du Pingping walked straight to the bookcase next to his desk, which was a row of newspapers and magazines that reported on Du Pingping, as well as several books published by Miyako Kazama about Du Pingping's case. In the middle of the photo, there is also a framed photo, in the middle of which Du Ping sits in the center, surrounded by a group of assistant coaches such as Kozo Ishimori who are jumping and cheering, and behind him are Viking supporters in red shirts who are constantly cheering.

It was the final moment of Du Pingping's victory over Nakajo Yamashiro in the Counter-Strike final in the Tibetan Horse Region, and Du Pingping was sitting in his place tiredly as everyone cheered and jumped. The hot and cold scenes make Du Ping in the photo so different.

Standing next to the bookshelf, Du can feel that whenever Miyako Kazama is tired, she will stand here and look at the newspapers, photos and magazines on this bookshelf with a smile.

Du Ping looked back at the assistant Miyako Kazama who brought him in, "What about Miss Miyako Kazama?"

The short-haired working woman with old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses recalled for a while, "I heard, I'm on leave!"

"Do you know when you'll be back?"

The assistant then shook his head, "Well, I don't know." You should know that a famous reporter in the country like Miss Kazama usually does not come to the newspaper office, and when he comes, he does not observe our time. Maybe the main story will know something! But I don't know. ”

In the office of the main chapter of the Tibetan horse, the middle-aged and elderly woman named Amalisha shook her right after listening to Du Ping's statement.

Amalisha, "I'm sorry, I don't know. ”

Du Ping was surprised, "You don't know, as your subordinate, what she does or where, she always needs to report to you, right?"

Amarisa personally fetched a glass of white water for Du Ping, "I guess you know a little bit about it. Miss Kazama isn't an ordinary person, so I don't ask too much about her. ”

"Don't you have a little bit of news?"

Amalisha, "Tell you the truth! Miss Kazama sometimes reports to me a little bit about her thoughts or actions. But not this time. ”

Du Pingping, "Really not?"

Amalisha, "Not really. ”

Du Ping thought for a long time, and felt that if Miyako Kazama would leave any clues, it would definitely be the office here, so he made a new request.

"Can I stay in Miss Miyako's office for a while?"

Amarisa smiled, "If it were someone else, it might not work, but you...... No problem. ”

Du Ping looked directly at Amalisha, but there was no superfluous hint. But Du Fair believes that this should also be arranged in advance by Miyako Kazama. Then there will be clues in the office.

Miyako Kazama's office, which is just a modern office of about 15 square meters. Aside from a simple office and two standard black office chairs across from the office, nothing particularly stands out. On the bookshelf next to the office chair are some of Miyako Kazama's beloved books, magazines, and books, followed by some photos or some trophies or photos of news awards.

After several searches, Du Ping did not find what he was looking for.

Could it be that I was thinking about something wrong? Miyako Kazama's normal work or things? Maybe at some point today, she will suddenly call me.

Tsutoshi sat on the chair belonging to Miyako Kazama, thinking about all kinds of questions and things. It's as if there is a mist between himself and Miyako's real distance.

The eyes are closed, and the story of the last time with Miyako keeps appearing in Du Fair's mind.

It is a very lively traditional goods street, and there is a game of catching goldfish with paper nets on the corner of the street. Miyako Kazama immediately became childlike when she saw it, pulled Du Fair and jumped to the front of one of the fish catching shops, happily handed a banknote to the shopkeeper dressed in a traditional short-hanging costume with a blue and white headscarf on his forehead, and then took a few small paper nets and a plastic goldfish box handed by the shopkeeper to the goldfish pond with a length of about 5 centimeters and started the game.

The picture is still, and Du Pingping starts to watch from several angles, front and back, left and right. Miyako was wearing a traditional red and white kimono at the time, similar to the one worn by girls on Coming-of-Age Day. The kimono pattern is a beautiful flower embroidered with gold thread, which is very beautiful and luxurious. Miyako's smile at that time was also very bright, and there was no trace of sadness.

The story switches, returning to Miyako Kazama at the school gate waiting for Du Fair's face painting.

On that day, Miyako was dressed in a traditional festive attire.

"Mimiko, you're really beautiful today. ”

Miyako, "Fair-kun, Happy New Year!"

Du Pingping, "Like, there should be a few more days, right?"

Miyako, "That's because I'm going home." ”

"You want to go home?"

Miyako, "Yes, the vixen also has a family! ”

"When are you coming back?"

Miyako, "What's wrong? You won't see me for a day, right?"

Du Pingping, "Come back early, okay?"

Miyako, "Yes, Miyako knows!"

Miyako, "Fair ......"

Du Pingping, "What's the matter?"

Miyako, "I love you!"

Du Pingping looked at Mimiko affectionately, "I love you too!"

The picture is still, and Du Pingping comes to Miyako's clothes, which is the traditional kimono in red and white, and there is no problem. Miyako's smile was also bright at the time, but when she looked at herself, did she have a sense of anticipation. Du Ping is not sure.

Miyako Kazama promised to come back and celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony with her! Miyako Kazama did not come back. And a coming-of-age ceremony is such a very important thing for herself, and it is impossible for Mimiko to forget or ignore it. So what is the real reason?

Du Ping's brain is thinking fast. Suddenly, inspiration exploded, and a character template based on the memory of Mimiko was made. Switch to autonomous mode and change the scene to the scene you are currently in the office.

Miyako, who knew the sea, stood up from behind her desk, walked over to the glass wall, and reached out to pull the lever of the shutter that blocked the view from the outside.

Du Pingping stood up from behind his desk, walked to the glass wall, and reached out to pull the lever of the shutter that blocked the view from outside. The shutters opened, and a figure was standing.

Woman, vintage black bar glasses, short hair......

It's the working woman who belongs to Miyako Kazama's assistant.

Looking at each other, the woman was shocked, quickly lowered her head, and left quickly.

Was it a coincidence, or was the woman watching herself all the time?

Du Ping's mind kept turning, and his eyes followed the gaze of the simulated Miyako who was still standing in front of the glass wall in the sea of knowledge into the distance. Du Pingping saw a pattern, and saw that in the corner of an advertising poster that crossed the straight line distance of the large office outside, which was a full 10 meters away, there was a black pattern that seemed to be graffiti.

Memories open.

Half a year ago, in an office at the Junior Police Summer Camp at the police training base.

Miyako, "I also have a small personal request, as long as you agree, even if this matter is several times more difficult, I will handle it for you." You must know that your reputation in this police training base is not very good now, and the same is true in the Ministry of Police. If someone else wants to adopt, as long as the head of the police headquarters speaks, you don't have to!"

Du Pingping, "What's the matter?"

Miyako, "If you receive a note like mine that day, you must come and save me!"

Miyako picked up the pen and paper on her desk and drew a pattern that resembled blue grass.

Standing in front of the tourist advertisement, Du Pingping looked at the bluegrass-like pattern drawn with a black marker in the upper left corner, motionless. In the memory, the pattern that Du Fair had promised slowly coincided with it. Exactly the same.

Mimiko really had an accident!

After a stone called affirmation fell in Du Pingping's heart, a new stone called worry floated again. What happened? So that Miyako didn't even have a chance to talk to herself?

Memories open.

Miyako picked up the pen and paper on the desk and drew a pattern that resembled bluegrass and put it in Du Ping's hand.

Miyako, "If you receive a note like mine that day, you must come and save me!"

"Do you have anything to do?"

Miyako, "Are you concerned about me?"

Du Ping looked at Mimiko quietly, and Mimiko was quietly looking at Du Ping.

What the hell is wrong there?Why does Mimiko seem to be preparing something for a long time in advance? Du Ping thought of some details of the serial ghost murder incident at Tachibana High School, some details of the summer camp for junior police officers, thought of the story of the degenerate Taoist Zhang Daochang of Jingluo Fengyue Street, and Miyako took the amulet that he bought with a lot of money to hang around his neck; when he thought of the stray dog murder, Miyako came out of the bathroom wearing a scarf that night; he thought of Miyako's tired voice on the phone call, "The dog's matter has been settled"; Thinking of the small street before the New Year, when the two of them happily caught a small goldfish with a paper net, Miyako jumped happily and there was a scene......;

Du Pingping's gaze began to steadfast.

That's the woman I like, so it doesn't matter what her situation is. Accept her yourself! Love her!

Du Ping's eyes were firm, and when he turned his head to look back at the office that belonged to Miyako Kazama, it seemed that there was a figure belonging to Miyako Kazama. The figure was throwing a smile of trust at himself.

When Du Pingping turned around to leave, he suddenly turned around and retrieved the poster with the pattern of Du Pingping and Mimiko agreeing to ask for help. Since Miyako didn't leave any clues in her office, she left clues here. Then he has a reason to leave a clue!

Two hours later, in the office of Junichi Shiraishi of the Yagyu Dokan, Junichi Shiraishi, who was sitting at his small table drinking alcohol, looked at Du Ping in surprise.

Junichi Shiraishi, "You're not mistaken! You're going to find the Kazama Chan Kai! That's a dark and violent society!"

Du Pingping knelt respectfully on the ground, kowtowed and pleaded, "Yes! ”

Bai Shichun took a sip of wine, as if this was the only way to suppress the panic in his heart, "Du Fair, seriously." It's just something that's going on within people, and if I were you, I wouldn't be a part of it. ”

Du Pingping's eyes were serious, "It seems that the curator really knows something." ”

Junichi Shiraishi, "I don't know anything. I only know that the Kazama family is actually the Qingqiu fox family. ”

Du Pingping, "What is the Qingqiu Fox Family?"

Jun Shiraishi took a sip of the wine again and again, "I'm sorry! Since Yagyu Dokan has been away from that world for too long, we have basically become people of both worlds. ”

Du Pingping, "What about the Kazama Chan King Society?"

Junichi Shiraishi, "Actually, you should find another person, how to say that the Yanagi Dojo is already a completely legal and legitimate business, and it has long been out of contact with this kind of world. ”

"Who is that person?"

Junichi Shiraishi, "Zuo Jing Youwei, he was once young and vigorous, but he worked hard to study the situation of this organization, although he did not reach the great idea of uprooting this organization in the end, but he should know the situation of this organization very well. ”

Du Ping suddenly smiled, "Very good! I remember that he still owes me a favor." And it's a big favor. ”

4 months before the story, at the entrance of the Tachibana High School Kindergarten Festival.

Du Fair, "A favor!"

Zuo Jing Right Guard, "What do you mean?"

Du Pingping, "Without violating your professional principles, I have the conditions to ask you to return a favor." ”

Zuo Jing Right Guard, "Yes." ”

Junichi Shiraishi, "If this favor is not good, return it!"

Du Pingping, "What I helped him do at that time was not much easier than what I do now!"

Junichi Shiraishi suddenly took out a black sword from under his low table and threw it to Du Pingping.

Du Pingping looked at the mysterious black sword in his hand and looked at Junichi Shiraishi in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Junichi Shiraishi, "I can't use it again! ”

Du Pingping, "Isn't this the ancestral divine sword of the Yanagi Dojo?"

Junichi Shiraishi took out one beautifully decorated ancient sword after another, and came to the straw man who was trying the sword in the room, and instantly 5 swords. Then slowly retracted the sword, and then the straw man in front of him who tried the sword slowly split into 6 pieces and fell to the ground one by one.

Junichi Shiraishi, "This is the Yanagi Divine Sword! Your sword is just something that exists in legends, and it is no longer suitable for the current Yanagi Gym! Even if the underworld is whitewashed, since we have already left that circle, let's leave forever! So, Du Pingping, you better take away what belongs to you! Don't talk about this matter again." ”

Du Pingping took the sword, thought about it, and left silently.
