In the old house of the Zhufu family, Mochizuki was settled in a room on the second floor to rest.

The remaining two went to the warehouse to look through old photos.

After a day of cooling, Mochizuki's strong desire to get the IOU was actually very weak.

It's just that I can't give up halfway, and I'm still persisting.

Seeing the strange atmosphere between the two, coupled with a mysterious look, Mochizuki stayed in the room to rest with interest, and didn't even say a superfluous word.

Officer Zhufu and Mr. Midorikawa should have known each other for a long time, and since they have something to discuss, she still doesn't bother them.

Mochizuki yawned and wrapped herself in the quilt and fell asleep.

In the warehouse, Zhufu Gaoming moved a pile of miscellaneous items away, and quickly pulled out a few photos from a dilapidated cabinet.

"With these photos, it should be enough to make a difference!"

Hikaru Midorikawa picked it up and flipped through it, it was indeed his photo, but it was from his childhood, and it was very different from what he looks like now.

"Enough."

"Would you like a drink?"

Zhufu Gaoming locked the door of the warehouse and picked up the hoe that was placed aside to signal.

"Huh?"

Midorikawa Hikaru looked at his brother with some puzzlement, the old mansion had not been lived in for a long time, and they bought some necessities when they came, but there was no wine in it.

"Forgotten?"

Zhufu Gaoming pointed to the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard, and there was a bit of sentimentality in his tone.

Also, when the wine was buried, the parents had not had an accident, Jingguang was not what it is now, and they were not forced to separate.

"Mom and Dad took us to bury the wine?"

Midorikawa's eyes were a little sour, and his voice was a little choked.

The past is vivid, and he has found the enemy who killed his parents, but his relatives will never come back.

"That's right, I said I wanted to taste it together, but I didn't expect so many years to pass."

"It's a good time to have a drink today!"

Zhufu Gaoming took off his suit jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and walked to the place where the wine was buried with a hoe.

The garden is overgrown with weeds, and you can't see how it was cared for, but fortunately, the position of the cherry blossom trees has not changed.

The two brothers determined their position, took their hoes and shovels and began to dig.

The two were still young when they buried the wine, and in order to take care of them, their parents deliberately put some rice wine with a very low degree in it.

It's just that after such a long time, the rice wine that was originally delicious has long since gone bad, leaving only the sake with a higher degree of sake.

The two were not disappointed, and took out the well-preserved jars of wine, and buried the rest on the spot.

On the second floor, Mochizuki had already dreamed of Zhou Gong, and the two brothers had no intention of waking her up.

Zhufu Gaoming took out the photo of his parents from the drawer, arranged the offerings, and took out two small wine glasses from the cabinet.

He carefully poured the wine into it, then handed it to his younger brother on the side, motioning for him to put it on the offering table, and the two brothers knelt on the ground together.

After the death of his parents, the family fell apart, and this was the first time Hikaru Midorikawa came to worship his parents, and it was with his brother.

"Dare to help them won't bother your work, right?"

Takaaki returned to the kitchen and quickly took out the appetizers he bought at the convenience store.

He picked up the flask and filled the glasses of the two of them, and asked with some uncertainty.

He didn't know that Jingguang was in such a situation at the time, but thought he was going to quit his job as a police officer.

And because I can't contact people for a long time, I will ask them to inquire.

"It's going to be fine, I'll take care of it."

Hikaru Midorikawa gently took the glass and drank it clean, the danger of the organization was too high, so since he went inside, he didn't think about contacting his family.

"What's going on with Officer Mochizuki?"

Zhu Fu Gaoming was silent for a long time, still a little worried, the appearance of an undercover police officer next to an active police officer is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

"She's out of the situation."

Hikaru Midorikawa smiled slightly, although it was not clear what she was going to do or where she came from, but Mochizuki was definitely not a member of the organization.

"Is that so, then do you want to wake up Officer Mochizuki, just in time to put incense on your parents."

Zhu Fu Gaoming took off his usual serious and rigid expression, and there was a rare ridicule in his voice.

"Huh?"

Hikaru Midorikawa happened to take a bite of edamame, and suddenly heard his brother's words, and he almost choked on his back.

"What's the matter, isn't she your friend?"

Zhu Fu Gaoming looked at his younger brother whose face was flushed, and deliberately dragged a long note on the word friend.

"We're just ordinary colleagues."

Midorikawa Hikaru looked at his brother helplessly, is it that older people are more keen on being a matchmaker.

It seems that Officer Mochizuki has always been urged to go on a blind date recently, and Kazami has specially reported this incident to Zero.

"It's a pity, it looks like you're going to return the things to someone as soon as possible."

Zhu Fu Gao shook his head thoughtfully, with a hint of regret in his tone, but with a strange smile on his face.

"What the hell is it, have I seen Officer Mochizuki before?"

Hikaru Midorikawa was a little unsure, he had been stimulated as a child, and some of his memories had been forgotten, so he himself didn't know what he had taken from her.

However, he and Mochizuki both grew up in Tokyo, so they may have actually met.

"It's an IOU written by Officer Mochizuki himself, I sent you something once when you were in middle school, and that IOU was put inside."

Zhufu Gaoming did not sell the guanzi, and concisely told what happened at that time, but deliberately omitted the specific content of the IOU.

"So Mochizuki wants to pay back the money and get the IOU back by the way."

Hikaru Midorikawa seemed to understand a little, and always felt that there was something else going on inside.

"What she wants to get back is not as simple as an IOU, as for what it is, you can see for yourself, anyway, the beneficiary on it is written by you."

Zhufu Gaoming leaned against the wall, his thin cheeks were a little lonely, and he was looking out the window with some distraction.

As the sun dawns and the sun comes out, they have to go back to their respective posts and try to run for the next tomorrow.

"Jingguang, protect yourself!"

Zhu Fu said solemnly.

As an older brother, he can't stop his younger brother from doing what he wants to do, and as a policeman, he can't wait to stop him, because if it were him, he would make the same choice.

It's just that he doesn't want to experience the pain of loss again, so you have to be good.

"Brother!"

The hand that was placed under the table slowly clenched, Hikaru Midorikawa didn't know what to say, he had always been the one who was taken care of.

My brother was left alone in Nagano Prefecture, facing the tragedy of his parents' deaths alone, and finally received a call from himself, and he had to pretend to be sensible to persuade himself.

Now he has his brother to worry about.

"I'm going to be fine!"

Hikaru Midorikawa replied in a low voice, he would come back safely if he tried his best.

"That's good, Officer Mochizuki should be up soon, and there are still some ingredients in the kitchen, so I'll leave it to you to deal with."

Zhufu Gaoming patted his younger brother on the shoulder, got up from the mat, and began to clean up the things on the table.
