"A few days ago, once in a stalemate, and even caused a diplomatic storm of the Toshima incident finally came to an end, after the construction giant Toshima Construction fully transferred the Najd high-speed rail project contracting rights to XX Construction Group, the share price of Toshima Construction also sang all the way, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials in charge of the incident, the previous Najd detained Toshima Construction related personnel are about to be released, and the current president of Toshima Construction Hosokawa Kiyofumi also announced that he will officially submit an application to JR East to participate in the Chuo Shinkansen plan, according to the relevant information provided by Toshima ConstructionToshima has changed the company's main correspondent bank from the former Central Bank of Tokyo to the Union Bank of Japan. Affected by this news, the stock price of the Central Bank of Tokyo fell sharply today......"

Looking at the news about the construction of Toshima on TV, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but put down the wine glass in his hand and listened carefully. Jingzi, who was sitting across from him, couldn't help but look at the TV behind him with some curiosity when he saw his appearance.

"What's the matter, could it be that Shuyi-kun is also concerned about the construction of Toshima?"

"Uh...... No, it's just that I think that a company that has been sentenced to death before can still come back to life, and President Hosokawa is really admirable!"

"Huh...... I didn't think you would care about these things!"

"No, I just saw it just now, so I paid a little attention to it...... It's really funny, but this time the case was solved smoothly, and I have to thank you for your ......help."

As soon as Lin Xiu's words fell, he straightened his sitting posture, and then picked up the wine glass with both hands and said to Jingzi.

Jingzi looked at Lin Xiuyi's expression, and then suddenly asked with some displeasure on his face:

"Xiu Yijun, is it because I am your superior that you accompanied me out to drink for the purpose of communication?"

"Huh, that...... It's not like that!"

But why do I think you're always so restrained when you see me?

Hearing Jingzi's question to himself, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but put down the cup a little embarrassed, speaking of which, since Jingzi came back, the atmosphere between the two seemed to be really different from before. In fact, even if Jingzi didn't say it, Lin Xiuyi could feel that he and Jingzi no longer seemed to be able to find the kind of intimate relationship between friends in the past. It's more of a politeness and unfamiliarity between bureaucrats, and sometimes, even Lin Xiuyi actually feels very awkward.

"Why don't we talk about something else today?"

Hearing Jingzi suddenly talk about things other than work, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed, he picked up a scallion roast chicken skewer, and then asked rhetorically pretending to be relaxed:

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"How about talking about the past? I've always wondered, why did Xiu Yijun come to be a policeman?"

"This ...... I guess I want to live a stable and secure life! The members of the club are also very good, but ...... I always feel that it is easier for civil servants!"

"Oh...... It's really a rational idea.,But Xiu-chan's character.,I always feel like it's not that kind of hot-blooded type!...... I'm really embarrassed, I heard Akemi-chan mention the title of Xiu-chan before, so I couldn't help but say it, that ...... Xiu Yijun won't think it's too abrupt!"

"It's okay, but ...... I didn't expect you to have a relationship with Akemi!"

"Eh, didn't I tell you before? I still live in Akasaka, and sometimes when I come back from work, I still meet Akemi often! But speaking of which, you don't seem to have been to her much lately, between you...... It won't be ......"

"This ...... As you know, her identity is more sensitive, and it's really inconvenient for me to go over there in Akasaka, but if we don't have to work, we often go to Yoyogi's side to meet......"

"Yoyogi, do you mean Miko's studio?"

"Hey, but we have a friend who owns a coffee shop there, and Miko's studio is upstairs from the coffee shop......"

"It's so smart, Xiu-chan is so powerful, if that's the case, even if you go on a date with Akemi, others won't suspect anything!"

"That...... This little trick is not seen through at a glance by a smart person like you!"

"There, I guessed because I knew what you were dating! By the way, that friend of yours, can you take me with you next time to see it?"

"Huh...... Are you interested in coffee, too? I remember you seemed to prefer black tea!"

"This ...... Didn't I go to the United States for a period of time to study? Coffee was more popular there, but after drinking it more often, I gradually liked it. ”

"Really? I'm really going to take you to Sakurako's place to see it, her coffee beans are all good things that can't be seen on the market, and the time and method of baking are also very particular. Even ordinary people, even if they take a sip, they can tell the difference!"

"Huh...... Speaking of which, I've been busy with my career since I graduated, and I really don't have any friends like Shu-chan here in Tokyo! But now, everyone is in the police system, and it will be much easier to connect with each other in the future. ”

"Hmm...... Sakurako finally has another regular at the place!"

……

After the two of them picked up their wine glasses and drank a glass together, Lin Xiuyi remembered that he didn't seem to have asked Jingzi about it, so he took advantage of the wine and asked Jingzi with some curiosity:

"By the way, Jingzi-chan, your hometown is there, I don't think I've ever heard you mention anything about your family before!"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's inquiry, Jingzi's face suddenly became solemn, but this was only a matter of a moment. She saw that Lin Xiuyi's face was already a little drunk. So he replied to Lin Xiuyi with some reservations:

"Actually, I grew up in Kyoto! My father must have been a civil servant! But because I died early, and because my mother was not in good health due to excessive grief, I grew up in a relative's house for a long time. ”

"Huh...... I'm so sorry for bringing up something that upset you!"

Hear Keiko's answer. Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but say a little apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, it's all in the past anyway, and then I was admitted to Tokyo and brought my mother to Tokyo and lived with me for a while, but after I graduated, my mother lived in a nursing home, and I occasionally went to see her if I had time. ”

Jingzi drank the wine in the cup with a little sadness, and then forcibly endured the grief in her heart, and squeezed out a reluctant smile to Lin Xiuyi, but tears still slipped from the corners of her eyes uncontrollably.

"Ah...... Damn it, you asked such an excessive question!"

Lin Xiuyi apologized, and at the same time took out a tissue from his bag and handed it to Jingzi. Jingzi thanked Lin Xiuyi gratefully, and then wiped her tears while pretending to be relaxed and said to Lin Xiuyi:

"Let's stop here today! It's rare to talk to you so much, and I suddenly feel a lot more relaxed in my heart!"
