Chapter 13: Unpalatable chocolate
Sitting in the co-pilot, Ritsu Sasashima's height obviously didn't match the Beetle, he curled up his long legs again, looked at Yuna Hayasaka beside him and whispered, "Hayasaka, have you considered changing cars?" β
Yuna Hayasaka glanced at his sitting posture, but her mood became happy, I don't know why, she was inexplicably happy to see this annoying boss eating deflated.
"Ah~ If you don't like my car, you can drive yourself."
"That's still forget it, it's better to rub the car."
The corners of Yuna Hayasaka's mouth twitched slightly, this guy is treating himself as a free driver? Do you want to make a face? She really doesn't like people with this kind of character. Recalling the words he said when he solved the case just now, Hayasaka felt that he could think of Ritsu Sasashima, which was a blasphemy against him.
She silently made a wish in her heart, hoping that she could be transferred away from Onizawa Chong's side as soon as possible.
"By the way, it's Valentine's Day, right?"
"Hmm." Yuna Hayasaka drove the car with a blank face, she obviously wouldn't have this festival when she was single, and the person she liked was long gone.
"Did you get me chocolate?" Ritsu Sasashima reached out and picked up the small bag placed under the co-pilot, which was impressively wrapped in purple gift paper, and even painted a Q version of the field guard on the outer packaging.
She still likes "Sailor Moon" as much as before, so how can her personality change so much? Ritsu Sasashima thinks of the mobile phone that sank into Tokyo Bay, and now she can't receive anything, and I don't know if she still insists on writing a diary.
After Yuna Hayasaka saw what he was holding in his hand, her face stiffened and frowned, "Put it back." β
"Huh?"
"I told you to put it back and don't touch it!"
Ritsu Sasashima didn't expect his actions to make Hayasaka angry, and he didn't dare to joke and immediately return to his place, feeling a little aggrieved, he pouted and said, "Is it necessary to be so angry?" I'm just taking it out and looking at it. β
"Because he's important to me."
"Him?"
Yuna Hayasaka realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, her pretty face was flushed, and she stammered, "Long-winded, why do you want such a big boy?" It's time to get to the place, get off! β
ββ¦β¦ Oh. β
It seems that Hayasaka has a favorite person, Sasashima Ritsu thought silently, he really didn't expect his subordinates to belong, and he was still in a state where the iron tree was not blooming.
With his current status, don't think about falling in love. Ritsu Sasashima closed the car door and followed Hayasaka back to the Metropolitan Police Department, now it's time to take notes and write reports for the prisoners, so let's finish it early and leave work early.
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Just after Ritsu Sasashima had spent an hour finishing all the work at hand, he received an email from Twilight Thirteen, saying that he needed to be in charge of the case office when he went out. Therefore, even after writing the report, he has to work overtime until the night shift is available.
"Give."
Yuna Hayasaka handed the finished report to Takashi Onizawa and said, "I can get off work." β
"Well, you go back, or Valentine's Day will be over, and if you don't send it again, it will be next year." Ritsu Sasashima held her chin and looked at the clock, calculating how much time she had left to wait for the police officer who would take over the shift.
Yuna Hayasaka obviously didn't expect Onizawa to say that, and she bit her lower lip to remember that she had prepared a chocolate every Valentine's Day over the years, and even a birthday cake on his birthday.
I don't need to prepare this year, but I'm still ready because of habit.
Syllable.
Ritsu Sasashima looked at the chocolate on the table suspiciously, and he was about to ask out loud, but Yuna Hayasaka directly interrupted: "Don't get me wrong, it's just that this chocolate is not as pitiful as the owner, so I'll give it to you to eat." β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you. β
Listening to the sound of distant heels touching the tile floor, Ritsu Sasashima looked at the chocolates on the table, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Of course I won't get me wrong, I'm not so narcissistic as to think that this chocolate is given to a boss I've known for a week." β
This is the first time he has received chocolate, selectively blocking girls who have been rejected by him during school. Ritsu Sasashima took a bite of the chocolate, and in an instant, his whole handsome face was twisted together.
"Hmm!"
He grabbed the mineral water on the table and poured it into his mouth, and the whole bottle of mineral water was in his stomach in an instant.
Ritsu Sasashima looked at the chocolate that he had taken a big bite of, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If this is given to the person you like, it will really be a big deal... It's too unpalatable. β
There are also unknown hard objects in the chocolate, most likely it is a burnt nut or something like cereal, and there is an indescribable strange smell in the chocolate, I really have never eaten chocolate more unpalatable than this.
If Ritsu Sasashima had known that Yuna Hayasaka had added Calpis to this chocolate, she would have shouted loudly: You have ruined the chocolate and ruined Calpis!
It wasn't until 22 o'clock at night that the police officers of the Twilight Group arrived at the office, and Ritsu Sasashima, who was finally able to get off work, packed up his desk as quickly as he could, took his mobile phone and wallet, and left the Metropolitan Police Department at the speed of light.
When it comes to getting off work, I'm the fastest.
As soon as he walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department, Ritsu Sasashima received a call from Gin, and he had an ominous premonition, maybe it was a model worker PTSD, and every time he saw Gin calling, he felt that a task had come to him, and he subconsciously forgot that he was not in charge of Gin now.
"Gin, what's wrong?"
"I'm in Osaka right now, I'll see you at the Cocktail bar in two hours, I'll send you the address."
"Osaka? Didn't you go on a mission overseas? β
Gin coldly glanced at the aggrieved vodka next to him, and said in a deep voice, "Vodka has booked the wrong ticket." β
It's really something that vodka can do. The corners of Ritsu Sasashima's mouth lifted slightly, and he took the initiative to report: "I'm going to go to the research institute, and that gentleman is very concerned about the progress of APTX4869. β
"Well, go ahead, hang up."
Ritsu Sasashima, who has a faster hand, was the first to hang up the phone when Gin's voice fell, and sure enough, this behavior was tried and tested.
Reaching out to solicit a taxi, Ritsu Sasashima did not directly inform the driver that he was going to Akemori Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., but told the address of the city hall of Seitama City, after all, the two places are next to each other.
It was forty minutes after arriving at the institute, and it was nearly 23 o'clock, and the night owl lady had definitely not slept yet, most of the time she was soaking in the laboratory and petting the cute mice.
After getting out of the car, Ritsu Sasashima used the special makeup remover in his pocket to stain the handkerchief to wipe off the camouflage that covered the cross scar, then took off his gold-rimmed glasses and put them in his pocket, and casually brushed his hair twice with his hand before striding in.
Instead of choosing to enter the password, he politely knocked on the side door, and when the black-clad security personnel inside walked out, Ritsu Sasashima looked at them with a calm face and said coldly, "Gin should have informed you who I am." β
With white hair, red eyes and cross scars, the security personnel on night duty hurriedly opened the door after seeing the appearance clearly, and said respectfully: "Mr. Augier, please come in." β
This is the head of the Japanese branch with the same status as Gin, and even if he is newly appointed, he has a much higher status than a small minion like him, and he does not dare to slack off at all.
Ritsu Sasashima walked towards the inside of Laboratory No. 5, the password was not changed, and since his authority was the same as Gin, he did not enter his palm prints and fingerprints, and he successfully opened the door of the laboratory just by standing in front of the scanner.
To Sasasisa Ritsu's surprise, there was no light inside, and Shiho Miyano was not inside.
He paced into the laboratory and looked at the furnishings inside, not the slightest change, even his original position was placed there, cautiously he put on gloves and touched the tabletop, it was obvious that someone regularly cleaned the dust on the tabletop, it was very clean.
What surprised her the most was that there was still a bottle of Calpis in her place.
ββ¦β¦β
His eyelashes drooped, and a little smile melted into his scarlet eyes, the shallow curvature was almost impossible to see with the naked eye, but it was sincere, and it was a pleasure from the heart.
I really didn't hurt her in vain, I still remember myself, and I still remember that my favorite drink is Calpis.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps behind her, the sound of high heels touching the ground, most likely she came.
βMacallanοΌβ
Turning around slowly, standing at the door of the laboratory was Shiho Miyano in a white coat, with short wavy brown hair that was the same length as before.
Quickly adjusted his emotions, his lips curled up without the slightest emotion, and his voice without temperature was like a cold wind, blowing away the wisps of anticipation in Miyano Shiho's eyes.
"First meeting, the second lady of the Miyano family."
