Zone 1

"That Mr. Mado is actually.." In the hall of the headquarters, everyone was in a hurry, and most of them were senior investigators, so they knew the real family very well.

"What," but a shrill voice broke the solemn funeral atmosphere unscrupulously. "If you want me to say it, it's a matter of course."

"The qualifications of the investigator are not in the weapon Kuinke," said Marute, who has always been known for his vicious mouth, and has not had a very good relationship with Mato, as if it was because of a problem with his philosophy. "It's because I'm keen to collect weapons and don't hone my skills that I've become like this~"

"Mr. Marute...", even the Arimat and others on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, so they specially reminded Marute. Please do not say disrespectful words to the deceased. ”

"Oops, is it a bit too much..."There was no guilty expression on Maru's face, he yawned and turned his head to look at Long Hao on the side. Yo, boy, why are you here? I thought you'd skip this funeral? ”

"After all, it's someone I know," Long Hao's answer was as cold as his expression. "Then be respectful of the deceased, just like Maruate, I will also attend your funeral, although I hate you..."

"Oops," Maruka slapped Long Hao's shoulder vigorously, looking kind. "Then you can't wait, my life is harder than you think."

Long Hao ignored him, just silently followed the team to the front and inserted a pillar of cigarettes, and bowed silently.

The dead are gone, and all grievances are in vain...

————————————

"Crybaby Amen," Amen sat in his chair, caught up in his memories of the first time he met Mato, but a kind voice woke him up. "Are you crying again?"

"Mr. Shinohara?" What he saw was Shinohara's special class, because he was amiable, so he had a good relationship with his juniors, even the always withdrawn Long Hao and the difficult Suzuya respected him. "There are also Long Hao first class and Maru Shou special class."

"I'm not going to be annoying here." Maruzate smiled and left. "After all, there are still a lot of things to do at headquarters."

"Okay, Marute." Yamen nodded, he didn't dare to ridicule the special class like Long Hao.

"That guy is the same again, hey, Amen," Shinohara, with a smile. "Are you crying again?"

"That's... The thing of Mato... I'm sorry..."Shinohara sighed slightly as he talked about Mato. "I'm sad to lose my friend."

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you," Long Hao had changed back to his original state since he left the funeral. "But where's that guy Suzuya?"

"That guy from Suzuya..."Shinoha scratched his head, but he didn't know. Before he said to go out for a walk... It should be fine..."

"Should..."Long Hao sighed, although Mr. Shinohara, he was a good person, but he was still helpless against the wayward Suzuya. I'll go out and have a look. ”

"Okay," Shinohara, who probably didn't think it was true, sighed and followed. "I'm sorry, Amen."

"By the way, Amen." Shinohara, a little sad, but that was what he had to say. "That guy he... I've always been proud of you. “

"Yes!" Amen held back her tears, "Me too... Goo Mato is my proudest senior..."

————————————————

"What?" Shinohara, answering the phone, he didn't expect that guy to be so bold. "Suzuya ran to the 20th district by himself?"

"Fooling around as always." Long Hao said calmly on the side, he would not be surprised how far that guy from Suzuya could go. "But what is that guy from Suzuya doing in District 20, I don't think he'll be so kind as to see me come over."

"I guess it's my fault." Shinohara sighed. "I accidentally told him that our future work was in District 20, but I didn't tell him that there was a task ahead..."

"It's none other than you, Mr. Shinohara," Long Hao was still so calm. "But what mission you're talking about?"

"Oh, don't you know that Long Hao is waiting?" Shinoha was a little surprised, and before he knew it, he treated Long Hao as a high-level person, after all, the first-class investigator already had access to a lot of things. "I forgot that you've been living in District 20 lately, so I guess Mato doesn't tell you much about the headquarters."

"That's it," Shinohara, who takes his work seriously. "You don't have to be in charge of District 20 for the time being, there will be two people who will temporarily take over the work of you and Yamen, and you and Yamen will be transferred to the special countermeasures class at that time, to District 11, just like me."

"Is the situation in District 11 already so severe?" Long Hao frowned, he showed a hint of interest. "Even the special ones have to go over."

"That's right, Amaru said," Shinohara patted Ryuho on the shoulder, he was going to the 20th district to get that guy back. "Let's slow down the affairs of District 20 first, it's a pity, the time was in a hurry just now, and I didn't have time to tell Zhenhu, but it's okay, I'll inform him in District 20 later, in short, that's it, Long Hao wait, get ready."

"Hmm..."Long Hao was silent for a moment. I'll go to District 20 with you, I haven't seen that guy in Suzuya for a long time. “

"Okay," Shinohara nodded, and he still admonished Long Hao. "Actually, it's not that urgent, it's just in the process of convening now, although the number of mews in District 11 has reached a very dangerous limit, but the other party hasn't made a move yet."

"Then I have to go back to District 20, don't I?" Long Hao nodded, he roughly understood the situation. "If Mr. Shinohara-chan has something to do, let's get busy."

But a hand grabbed his sleeve, and Long Hao looked back, and a person he least wanted to see now appeared.

"I have something to say to you now." Mato Xiao's expression was as indifferent as before leaving, but Long Hao saw from it that he couldn't refuse. "Follow me."

"That.." Long Hao looked at Shinohara with a plea for help, but Shinohara left with a smile, so he didn't wade into this troubled water.

"Comfort her." Sure enough, the so-called good people are unreliable.

.....

"Xiao..."Long Hao followed Mato Xiao onto the rooftop, he knew that this woman must be suppressing herself now. Your father's business... I'm so sorry..."

"Aren't you strong?" But Long Hao's comfort backfired, and Xiao broke out as soon as Long Hao said it. "Why didn't you save him?"

"Strength doesn't mean omnipotence." Long Hao was not at all frightened by Xiao's tone, he knew that Xiao needed an outlet. "I was careless, I went to Z, I didn't expect it to be a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and when I rushed back, it was..."

"Bastard's meow!" Mado punched Long Hao's body hard, and Long Hao fell down, deliberately falling in embarrassment. "You too!"

Seeing Long Hao being defeated so easily, Mado was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

"You're also very powerful," Long Hao patted the dust on his body casually, it seemed that the crisis had passed. "I'm no match for you now."

"It's really.. Crappy.." Xiao wiped her tears, not knowing whether she was crying or laughing. “... What a joke..."

"It doesn't matter if you're lame or not," Long Hao looked at the depressed Xiao, this was the first time he had seen Xiao like this. "As long as it can make you laugh, you can think of funny jokes in the future, people can't just live in the past."

"I'd like to ask you—" Akatsuki's expression became serious. If you're here, can you save him? “

"Of course," Long Hao looked at the woman's brown eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable. "But I can't save a man who has the will to die."

"Really?" Xiao slowly approached Long Hao, Long Hao could clearly see the eyelashes of her eyes, Xiao was even more fragile than he imagined. "You say I lack strength, are you willing to be my strength?"

This naked confession made Long Hao a little uncomfortable, and he helped Fu Xiao slightly, so that he could stay away from her face, and now he couldn't make any answer.

"Xiao, the power of others is never suitable for you." Long Hao looked at Xiao seriously, he didn't dare to reveal a trace of refusal, otherwise the woman in front of him would collapse, Xiao couldn't help but regard Long Hao as the only person he could rely on after losing his father, but Long Hao couldn't tell her any truth. "I will be your strength, but whether it is revenge or future battles, you have to do it yourself, so that you can be a kind of searcher."

"I knew you would say that." Xiao let go of Long Hao, this man was very keen, he always sensed his intentions at that moment.

The two fell silent again, neither of them wanting to speak first.

"You're such a big name." Xiaoxian broke the silence. "From the third class to the first class in less than half a year, he even mentioned you when he occasionally met with my father."

"I'm lucky," Long Hao looked very modest at this time, after all, the atmosphere was still very awkward. "When I ran into a gluttonous maniac and escaped with my life, I was promoted to the second class, and I went to the restaurant with my friends to go to the restaurant, and I was lucky to destroy the restaurant with my colleagues and was promoted to the first class, if that guy in Zhengdao saw me, he would definitely want to kill me."

"What's the matter," at this time, there was the atmosphere of the previous 24th district. "That guy admires you very much now, in the past, Yamen was his second worshipper, but now you have risen to second."

"That's not right," Long Hao pretended to regret. "How can I be second? Who's the first? “

"Of course there's Matt waiting."

"Is that so..."Long Hao smiled, it was really no match for that monster. Are you now official investigators? “

"No," Mado shook his head. We've assigned the High Investigators now, but it's still some time before they come, so we're on standby right now. “

"Standby?" Long Hao sensed that something was wrong. "And what's going on with Suzuya?"

"He...," Mado sighed, exactly like Shinohara, she was in charge of disciplining Suzuya after Ryuho left. Mr. Shinohara-chan came early, and there was no one to take care of that guy, so he ran away first..."

"Forget it.." Long Hao left Suzuya behind, that guy wouldn't be so easy to be in danger. "Leave this kind of thing to Shinohara and wait for a headache, by the way, Xiao, who is your boss?"

"What's wrong?" Long Hao saw that Xiao's face was a little bad. "Do you hate that person?"

"Not really," Mado took a deep breath and calmed down. "It's just... I still hate him.. The one you know is your father's subordinate, Amen, who is first-class, but this time he has been promoted to the upper class. “

"Amen? He's a... Nice guys, huh? "Long Hao is a little strange, did Yamen offend her?

"He was a good man, but he couldn't save his father there, did he? If it was you who was there..."

"Xiao!" Sure enough, Xiao still has some resentment towards Yamen in his heart, even if it is not Yamen's fault. "If you were there at the time, you wouldn't have done better than Amen, trust me, Amen definitely did his best, but he still lacked some experience."

"You're not missing anything!" Xiao lowered her head, whether it was Yamen or Long Hao in her heart, the trace of jealousy that made her guilty stirred her heart. "Father always appreciates you when he sees you, he knows that you are definitely not an ordinary person, and so is Amen, he is made his proudest subordinate by his father, and I cannot be like you, to be able to stand alone..."

"If you really say that something is missing..."Xiao raised her head, looked at Long Hao's lonely silhouette, remembered that the other party was an orphan, and realized that she had said the wrong thing, and Long Hao in her eyes was always alone.

"Maybe it's the lack of everything..."
