Chapter 22: Come Home with Me

Tokyo Adachi Ward Police Headquarters.

In a cramped, dimly lit room, Shingo Harano meets Ai Fukuhara with a haggard face.

"Really... Shingo"

Ai Fukuhara, who was sitting on a bench curled up and was about to hang her head down to her stomach, heard movement at the door and looked over, and called him timidly when she saw Shingo Harano.

Seeing Ai Fukuhara's pitiful appearance, Shingo Harano's heart suddenly twitched.

Shingo Harano walked over and pulled Ai Fukuhara up, hugged her tightly, and covered her head with one hand and pressed it against his shoulder.

"It's okay, it's okay already, I'm here, don't worry."

"Hmm."

Ai Fukuhara replied in an inscrutable voice.

......

"That's probably how things are, there's nothing we can do about such things, if there's no problem, then you can take people away first."

Shingo Harano looked at the Suzuki Police Department in a police uniform on the other side, looked at himself helplessly and explained.

He bowed to the other party and thanked him, "I'm really bothering you, I'll take care of it." ”

Ai Fukuhara, who walked out of the police headquarters, saw that the outsiders had gone away, and she couldn't hold on any longer and sobbed again.

"Yes... I'm sorry, Shingo, I'm bothering you. ”

"It's not troublesome, we're friends, aren't we, stop crying, it's not cute to cry again."

Shingo Harano reached out and touched her head, helping her smooth out her messy hair, and said softly.

It turned out that Ai Fukuhara was the same as Shingo Harano, both parents were no longer alive, and Ai Fukuhara's father died in an accident at an early age, and her mother was also depressed because of this, and before she died, she sold fixed assets such as a house and delivered her an insurance.

This insurance is enough to cover Ai Fukuhara's high school and college tuition, and only the expenses incurred during high school and college can be used.

Then Ai Fukuhara's mother gave her uncle Nakamura Hiroshima a lot of money to take care of her.

And her uncle is an out-and-out gambler, and soon after quickly losing the huge amount of money and his own money in the casino, he peeked into Ai Fukuhara's insurance, but even if Ai Fukuhara agreed, it was useless, he couldn't get it at all.

No matter what way he could, he couldn't get that money, so of course he was very impatient with such a burden as Ai Fukuhara every day.

Not only did he drink too much every day to let Ai Fukuhara help with housework and cooking, but even more excessively, he also poured his anger on her after he lost money.

In the first two years, it can be said that Ai Fukuhara was beaten and scolded, Ai Fukuhara was cowardly by nature, and he didn't dare to squeak and call the police when he was bullied.

It wasn't until two years ago that a neighbor couldn't stand it and called the police, and after several rectifications, the situation of beating and scolding Ai Fukuhara gradually decreased.

But she still scolds a few words every day when she is unhappy, only gives her the worst room, and she has not even bought a new dress, let alone ask for warmth, and even the money for the vegetables that Ai Fukuhara buys for cooking is earned by her own part-time work, which can be said to be oppressed to the extreme.

The reason why Ai Fukuhara was in the police headquarters this time was because his gambler uncle was arrested by someone else for defaulting on his debts.

Then let Ai Fukuhara bring the money to bail, but when Ai Fukuhara arrived, he found that he didn't have so much money.

Then she had to call Shingo Harano to help her, and her gambler uncle ran away after Ai Fukuhara arrived, leaving only such an unkind sentence that my niece would help me deal with.

After paying off the fees owed by Nakamura Hiroshima, Shingo Harano took Ai Fukuhara to fill out a few standardized forms, which led to the scene just now.

It's already dark.

Shingo Harano and Ai Fukuhara were walking on a street in Adachi Ward, and the street lights on both sides of the street were flickering on and off, and the air on the road was a little pungent.

Yuan Ye frowned and watched the garbage cans not far away turn to the ground, the cartons and bags inside were spilled on the road, and a few mosquitoes could be vaguely seen floating on them.

"I've arrived, Shingo." Ai Fukuhara whispered to Shingo Harano, who was still walking forward in front of her.

"Ah, is this where you live?"

Yuan Ye couldn't help frowning when he looked at a dilapidated old house in front of him, two floors up and down, the room on the ground floor was built with stone for nearly a meter, and the top was an earthen wall, the stone was already a little blackened, and the earthen wall was mottled, as if telling the age of time, and the door looked like it would fall down as soon as it was pushed.

Ai Fukuhara was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the shouting of someone not far from the mouth of the alley, and his expression suddenly began to panic.

"Hey! It's me, hahaha, don't worry, my debt seems to have been paid off by a friend of my niece. Well, yes, we'll go back tomorrow! ”

Yuan Ye turned around, and the moonlight stretched his figure extremely long, and his upright figure was like a black knife.

"Shingo, you first... Let's go first, I'm already home" Ai Fukuhara tugged at Shingo Harano's clothes and hurriedly said as she looked at the drunk man coming from afar

But it was too late, and the man walking opposite had obviously spotted the two of them.

"Hey, why did you come back so late, did you wash my clothes yesterday? Yes! ”

Nakamura Hiroshima was about to walk to the door of the house with a bottle of island sake, when he suddenly saw his niece talking to a man sneakily, and he was furious.

"And you, it's the money that your kid helped her pay back, since you're with my niece, then you have to honor my uncle no matter what."

Nakamura Hiroshima laughed wildly and patted Harano's shoulder with his hand.

Shingo Harano slapped off Nakamura Hiroshima's outstretched palm with some disgust, and then looked at him coldly.

"You bastard, what kind of eyes, do you look down on me?!"

As he spoke, he raised the bottle high above his head, and was about to smash it into the head of Shingo Harano.

After pushing Ai Fukuhara aside, Shingo Harano's right leg reached in, and the strength of his shoulder and arm pushed Nakamura's Hiroshima bottle towards his own body.

Then he pulled Nakamura Hiroshima's shoulder, and his whole body suddenly flew out, rolled to the ground, and ate a mouthful of dust on the ground.

Harano patted the place where Nakamura had touched just now on his shoulder, and turned to walk towards Ai Fukuhara.

Ai Fukuhara, who was on the side, was already dumbfounded, he didn't expect the situation to develop so seriously, and suddenly shouted anxiously.

"Shingo, be careful!"

Ai Fukuhara saw Nakamura Hiroshima, behind Shingo Harano, holding a half-broken wine bottle and stabbing it towards Arano, and the slag on it was very bright in the light.

Shingo Harano turned his body sideways without looking back, and then the muscles of his right arm tensed instantly, using the power of his waist to turn around, and his left hand used Aikido to first unload the opponent's force, and then his right leg used force to make a whip leg.

"Bang!"

Nakamura Hiroshima was kicked out again.,This time it really fell to the ground and didn't get up.,Lying next to the trash can just now.,Face sprinkled with cardboard boxes and leftovers in the trash can.。。

"Really... Shingo, he... Is he okay. ”

"It's okay, it's just that he passed out, don't worry about him, okay."

Shingo Harano said as he looked at Ai Fukuhara, who had a hesitant face on the other side.

In the end, reason prevailed over Ai Fukuhara, who may still have the only remaining family affection, and did not speak for her uncle again.

"Fukuhara-san."

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Ai Fukuhara stood under the street lamp, still in shock in the atmosphere just now, and looked at Shingo Harano and said.

"Come home with me."
