Chapter 55: TOEFL
The van turned around, flashed its lights twice as a sign of respect and gratitude, and then left with muddy water - the road was full of cars, and it took some effort from Naoto Yoshihara to push and pull and direct to help them move out.
At this time, the sky is just bright, the sun has not yet risen, but there is some faint fish belly white in the sky, but the air after the rain is still excellent, inhaling the lungs to cool and cool and no sleep.
Nana Hoshino played with the electric shocker, turning it on and off, and the electric light was faint, and she wondered: "Are you sure it's the Ninomiya family?"
Naoto Yoshihara watched the business car disappear around the corner, and said casually: "You didn't offend rich people before, I just came here for a few days and I haven't offended anyone, and the gang won't hire a private detective, who else would it be if it wasn't the Ninomiya family?"
"They're not dead yet?"
Naoto Yoshihara retracted his gaze, half-squatted down to look at her and smiled: "Don't worry, as long as I still have a breath, I will never let people hurt you a hair......"
Nana Hoshino snorted coldly and muttered in a low voice, "You scared me just now!"
Naoto Yoshihara couldn't help but smile: "That's a joke, you usually toss me a lot, can't I scare you? Please, please believe me! Even if I go crazy and go out with a kitchen knife and cut it when I see someone, I will leave a trace of sobriety and will never hurt you! I will never hurt Nana Hoshino, this is my promise, it will always work!"
The light was very dim, and Nana Hoshino couldn't catch the micro-expressions on Naoto Yoshiwara's face even if she tried to keep her fox eyes open, but the strong sincerity in Naoto Yoshiwara's tone came to her face, and even made her hold her breath for a while.
If only he were half-kneeling, it would be like a knight swearing allegiance to the queen.
Nana Hoshino couldn't help but raise her hand, wanting to reach out and touch Naoto Yoshihara's rough face, but she quickly held back and pretended to be impatient and shouted softly, "I see...... Don't you just think I always look at your face? It's ugly, as if I love to look at it! I won't look at it if you ask me in the future!"
After a pause, she asked uncertainly, "You swore never to hurt me and keep me safe?"
Naoto Yoshihara raised his palms and said seriously, "I swear!"
Nana Hoshino put her small palm on Naoto Yoshihara's big hand, palm against palm, and said seriously: "Then I choose to believe you!"
The two of them put their palms on their palms, and they just looked at each other for a while, and they both felt a little weird, and Nana Hoshino changed the paste to a beat with a "snap", and giggled: "You look so ugly when you squat, like a big dog!"
At the same time, Naoto Yoshihara also came back to his senses, and hurriedly revised his oath: "I will protect you until your mother comes back, I still have my own life, but I will not be your bodyguard for life." ”
Nana Hoshino didn't care, and even for a while, she no longer considered the question of whether Naoto Yoshihara was a good person or a bad person, and shouted with a smile: "Do you think I'm still unwilling, you big rice bucket, what if you eat our family!"
The two of them were laughing, and a car stopped on the opposite side of the road, and Jiro Kitagawa poked his head out of the window and shouted with a smile: "Yoshihara-san, Hoshino-chan, I said why can't I find you, it's here...... You're going in the wrong direction!"
Naoto Yoshihara and Nana Hoshino glanced at each other in surprise, not knowing what this criminal policeman was looking for them.
Naoto Yoshihara greeted him and asked with a smile, "I'm not familiar with this area, so I made a mistake?" Is Officer Kitagawa looking for us to have something to order?"
Could it be that the woman of Nishikujo Ruri has changed?
Kitagawa Jiro pushed the door and got out of the car, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to do it, I just caused so much trouble to Yoshihara-san, and I am very embarrassed, so I ...... I'm here to do my duty as an adjutant and apologize for our team leader. ”
Naoto Yoshihara was a little puzzled, thought for a while and said: "In fact, we took advantage of this matter, and we can't apologize...... The polygraph was requested by me on my own initiative to prove my innocence, and whoever asks me will say so, so you don't have to worry about anything. ”
Kitagawa Jiro bowed his head and said, "I've known Yoshihara-san's magnanimity for a long time, thank you so much......! I'm just a poor policeman, and there's nothing I can handle, so if Yoshihara-san doesn't dislike it, let's have a drink together?"
"Have a drink?" Naoto Yoshihara subconsciously glanced at Nana Hoshino, and Jiro Kitagawa pointed to the woman in the passenger seat in the car and smiled: "Hoshino-chan was sent home by my colleague and stayed there until Yoshihara-san returned." ”
You can't take your child with you for drinking, he was prepared.
Naoto Yoshihara hesitated for a moment before deciding, and said with a smile: "I don't have any money, if Officer Kitagawa is willing to entertain you...... "If money is really a hero's courage, if you don't have money, you have to be stingy with even drinking!"
He couldn't figure out what Beichuan wanted to do here, but he didn't want to offend this person, so he could only agree and then improvise.
Nana Hoshino listened to it, grabbed his arm, and said with a smile, "Then I'll go too!"
If you have a free meal to eat, you must go there! Take a bite outside, save a bite at home!
Naoto Yoshiwara refused, and said with a smile, "Go back and see if your sister Miki is crying to death", and at the same time forced her into the car - he didn't worry about these people making a bad move, he was also a police officer, and he was not afraid that they would run away. What's more, these people's goal is themselves, not Nana Hoshino.
Nana Hoshino, who was very dissatisfied, was pulled away by the car, and she could be seen through the car window with an unhappy face, her small mouth moving slightly, probably complaining that Naoto Yoshihara ate alone and was a dead conscience.
Sending off Hoshino Nana, Kitagawa Jiro led the way with a smile, "Yoshihara-san, I know that there is a yakitori restaurant that is open all night, and the skewered chicken is very authentic. ”
Naoto Yoshihara followed him, and also smiled and cheered: "That's really to see it, let Officer Kitagawa break the bank." ”
Kitagawa Jiro smiled: "Where is it, it's just a little bit of the friendship of the landlord...... I think I went to Kansai Nara many times when I was young, and I was warmly welcomed, and I still miss the taiyaki in the Honkami room in Minato-machi, which is really delicious!"
Naoto Yoshihara said curiously, "Does the upper house sell taiyaki? Isn't it only glutinous rice dumplings?"
Kitagawa Jiro patted his head and said "ah": "I'm old, I'm confused...... At that time, I remember drinking a stomach full of sweet sake while viewing cherry blossoms at Ryoji Shrine, and then eating taiyaki when I went back, probably not from Honuefu. ”
Naoto Yoshiwara was even more strange and asked, "What year did Officer Kitagawa go to Nara? Why don't I remember that there are cherry blossoms at the Two Fingers Shrine? Aren't they all wisteria flowers? If you want to see cherry blossoms, you should go to Mt. Yoshino and Zojicho......
Kitagawa Jiro was very ashamed, bowed his head and said, "Alas, this is really rude, I actually misremembered the scenery of Yoshihara-san's hometown...... I'm so old. ”
Naoto Yoshiwara hurriedly said politely: "It's not right for you to say that, after all, you have been there before, and your memory is blurred after a long time, this is something that happens to everyone, please don't apologize...... Let's just talk about me, this time I was asked by a friend to come to Tokyo to take care of the children, and I don't often get lost when I go out, and sometimes I can't even understand the train route. ”
Kitagawa Jiro nodded again and again: "Indeed, now that the city is getting bigger and bigger, it is becoming more and more complicated, which is really difficult to adapt...... Ah, Yoshihara-san, that's it, let's have a drink! First the draft beer, then the small grille?"
Naoto Yoshihara wiped the corners of his mouth and said happily, "According to what you said, I ......" he swallowed, "I haven't had a good drink for a long time, this is really thanks to Officer Kitagawa!"
