The night was very dark, and the rainy season that had been brewing for a long time finally began to fall.

A street somewhere in Shibagawa-cho, Omiya Ward.

A dazzling white headlight reflected the falling rain like jade beads through the rain curtain, and ripples behind the wheels until a family building at the end of the alley that was still lit slowly stopped, and the back door was opened.

Kazama Fuda's face was extremely ruddy, and he was helped out of the car by someone with a drunken body, shouting loudly that he wanted to drink two more glasses, walking crookedly, and he couldn't even walk in a straight line, and he was very kind to the neck of his subordinate who gave him an umbrella, and shouted that he wanted the other party to stay tonight.

The young subordinate's face turned red, and he looked very excited, but he still helped him to the eaves of the gate and said goodbye, and did not dare to stay at the boss's house.

Until the other party got back into the car, and when he drove to the far side of the street and could only see the tail lights, Fuda Kazama, who was still like a drunk just now, gradually regained his clarity, looked at the lights at home, tidied up his clothes a little, and began to unlock the password lock of the house.

When you are older, you can't compare to young people, sometimes you have to pretend when you should pretend, and sometimes you have to learn Tibetan characters.

Kazama Fuda thought about it but didn't stop, after entering the house, he took off his shoes at the entrance, took off his coat and hung it on the wooden shelf at will, and shouted at the living room with a smile: "Ryoko, I'm back!" ”

The figure of his wife soon appeared, but he was just a flash of his eyes, and his heart was shocked, and he found that in the living room, in addition to his wife, there was a young man sitting upright, and he seemed to be talking happily with his wife, and the smile was obvious.

His heart suddenly chuckled, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he felt that he wanted to grow something on the top of his head, and his original seven points of alcohol had been reduced by three points.

However, after all, he has been immersed in the dye vat of society for decades, and seeing that his wife is far away from each other, and the two of them are also very neatly dressed, after a short period of stunned, Kazama Fuda calmed down a little, and asked with some surprise: "Who are you?" ”

"Hello Kazama Police Department, I'm Takitanazawa."

When the young man saw him return, he got up from the couch and bowed slightly, introducing himself with a smile on his face.

"Takiya..."

Hearing this surname, Kazama Fuda couldn't help but look at the other party carefully, and found that this young man looked quite masculine, his hair was slightly messy, his eyes were bright and calm, his body was tall, and he had a calm temperament.

The skin is slightly yellow, it seems to be sunburned, but there is a sense of tranquility on the body, although the face shape is not matched, but the facial features are still somewhat familiar.

There were some speculations in his heart, but he still remained calm on the surface, and Kazama Fuda asked in a faint tone, "Is there anything wrong with coming to my house so late?" ”

However, this time Takitanizawa did not speak.

He was interrupted by a gesture.

Mrs. Kazama, who was in a delicate body, walked up to her husband with a cup of steaming hot tea.

"Drink some tea first to get rid of the wine."

Mrs. Kazama handed over the teacup and whispered in her husband's ear: "People have been here since seven o'clock, and they have been waiting for you until now, this child is quite good at talking, you go to the study to talk, I will go back to the room to see the child." ”

With that, Mrs. Kazama turned around, smiled softly at Takitizawa, and whispered something about your conversation.

Seeing that his wife also said something kind about him, Kazama Fuda looked at Takiyasawa deeply, but then raised his hand and pointed in the direction, and said, "Since there is something to come to, please come with me to the study." ”

He turned around and walked to the side.

And Takitanazawa followed with a smile.

There is a faint scent of sandalwood in the study, and the furniture is also made of mahogany, which looks quite ancient.

The overall look is not particularly ornamental.

But let Takitanizawa take a look at it more.

On the wall behind the main seat of the study, there are four big characters framed in Houde, which feels the same as the one hanging in the other party's office in the scene reproduction.

Fuda Kazama placed the teacup on the wooden table.

Then he opened the tea making machine on the desktop and grabbed the tea leaves with a wooden clip.

Seeing Takiyasawa sitting on the opposite side, it was very quiet.

He was not in a hurry to speak.

He was a little less resistant to an uninvited guest like Takitani Ze in his heart, and his wife said that he had waited for a long time, and he probably guessed the reason for the incident in his heart, but because of the embarrassment that Takitani Tsubaki gave him in the office a few days ago, he just smiled in his heart.

"By the way, I forgot to ask, are you..."

"My sister is Takiya Tsubaki."

Kazama Fuda seemed to see a relative, and a kind smile appeared on his fat face: "Oh, it turned out to be Tsubaki's younger brother, I said, the surname Takiya is rare, but it's so late today, is there anything to do with me, why didn't you see Tsubaki?" ”

Before he could say a few words, he blocked the road first, and the subconscious meaning was obviously that you were not suitable to come.

After all, Takiya Tsubaki didn't come over by himself.

What's the matter with someone who isn't even a brother?

Takitanizawa understood what he meant, but he was not annoyed, he just smiled: "I came alone today, and my sister should still be on duty in the bureau tonight." ”

Of course, he knew that the other party didn't care about him.

After all, even if you ask someone to do something, it is basically inconvenient for you to come forward, and you are all replaced by elders or brothers and sisters.

But who let the Takiya family be two.

Fuda Kazama took a moment with the teacup.

I didn't rush and took a sip first.

Then he snorted, not entangled in the topic just now, and brought a cup of tea to Takitanizawa in two sentences, and directly smiled and said straight to the point: "Come over at night, is there anything urgent to convey?" ”

This sentence is even more absolute.

Takitanizawa is not a person in the police station, and he didn't know him before, so what can he do.

On the other hand, if there is really business, it is naturally Takiya Tsubaki who is on duty to call and report, this guy is amiable with a smile on his face, and the words are all estranged, obviously Sister Ah offended him a lot.

Takitanizawa directly turned a deaf ear, as if he didn't understand the words, but smiled and pulled the topic to himself:

"It's nothing, my sister and I lost our parents a few years ago, these years depend on each other, always at home to hear her say that you take good care of her, when you first joined the company, you took her, Sister A is not sociable, I have no time before because of work, this time I came to thank you."

"That's nothing, it's just a duty."

Kazama Fuda waved his hand, and his heart rippled after listening to his explanation, but remembering the incident in the office two days ago, he still smiled and hid a knife and said:

"What's more, Xiao Chun, this child is serious and a good subordinate, and I have always admired her backbone."

He was angry when he remembered what had happened two days before.

Who in the whole sub-bureau doesn't know that he drinks porridge without sugar!

Just put sugar and just take breakfast?

She Takiya Tsubaki used this to test the cadres?

What cadre can't stand such a test!

even threatened himself, shouting that he wanted to go to the director to complain, he was twenty-six years old, and he was as young and immature as a student, and he was almost hopeless.

"Sister said that in the bureau, the closest person is you, she is your soldier, naturally she will fight wherever you point, but she has a relatively straight personality, so sometimes her words may be a little inappropriate."

"It's all small things, I don't take it personally." Fuda Kazama laughed, but his heart was extremely perfunctory.

Of course I don't care about it.

I'm not taking it seriously yet.

What's the use of being angry with me, that night Aiko got up in the middle of the night and scolded me for not being good, it's not for you to be angry, otherwise I can suffer this grievance?

Thinking about this, Fuda Kazama pushed his glasses to cover up the unpleasantness a little, and at the same time suddenly swung the teacup to his mouth, pouring the tea inside directly on the tea table, indicating that he was going to send off the guests.

However, Takitanizawa didn't see it at all.

There is no scruple about being cheeky.

Instead, he smiled and turned to get down to business.

"By the way, senior, I heard that Sister Ah said that she seems to have reached the time for the assessment, so you have to pay attention to this."

"Assessment?" Kazama Fuda glanced at him with some surprise, he didn't expect Takitazawa to be so direct.

It seems that he is just as stunned as his sister.

Taking the lead in making a judgment in his heart, Kazama Fuda smiled and nodded, so that people couldn't find fault with it, and replied without leaking: "Well, it's time, but this kind of thing, let's communicate with Xiaochun privately." ”

"Since you say so, then I'm relieved."

Takitanazawa's face was full of gratitude, and to the surprise of the other party, he actually looked at the time and got up directly and said: "It's almost time, I'm really a little sorry to bother you like this today, I will leave first, so as not to affect you and your wife's rest." ”

"Then I'll send you." Kazama Fuda looked at Takitanizawa like a fool, thinking that this person wouldn't think that he had agreed, so he was about to leave with his butt raised.

This sister and brother are really wonderful, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, but they will never do it.

With a fake smile on his face, he just wanted to lift his ass from the main chair in the study, but found that Takiyazawa, who had just stood up, had pulled out a cyan tea can out of nowhere, turned his head and poked it in front of his face.

"Oops, I almost forgot!" Takitanizawa handed over the cyan tea can, and patted his leg with a sudden look on his face.

"I heard that you love tea, our hometown is from Shizuoka Prefecture, and my relatives just sent some of our special Fuchuan tea over there, and this time I just brought it to you, just a little local specialty, not a tribute."

The teapot poked suddenly, almost scaring Kazama Fuda to death, he reached out and took it with some annoyance, and asked casually, "Oh? Head to the front? ”

Takitanizawa smiled and shook his head, motioning for him to give advice: "I don't understand this, you can take a look." ”

Kazama Fuda is already a little impatient, even though he is very good at cultivating qi, he usually wears a mask on his face and looks like Maitreya Buddha to everyone, this is just a day after drinking and he is sleepy, plus Takitana, an uninvited guest, comes directly to the door, no one is in a good mood.

And he looked at the jar in his hand, except for being a little heavy, he didn't even have a name label, I don't know where he got the stall from, maybe he didn't pass the safety quality inspection, and he didn't dare to drink it.

However, he endured his anger and opened the mouth of the can, and just wanted to drive Takitizawa out of the door with a perfunctory sentence, but at a glance out of the corner of his eye, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen his own mother who had been separated for many years, and the original three-point drunkenness retreated by two points, and both fat legs trembled.

"This season should be the head of the head, right?"

Takitanazawa's voice sounded again.

Kazama Fuda didn't look up, looking at Fukuzawa Yukichi who was pinched and bent in the cyan tea can, he pinched the thickness with his two fingers, and his eyes brightened up three points, and he was immediately full of praise: "Not bad, not bad, it's really quite forward." ”

Seeing the portrait of the old man on the banknote, he was not in a hurry at this time, he sat down again, and then looked at Takitanazawa's face and suddenly felt a lot more kind, and the perception just now changed greatly, as if he had met a relative.

I didn't see much just now, this child is different from her sister, it turns out that she is still very virtuous!

However, soon Kazama Fuda was in a dilemma, because he suddenly remembered that the list of candidates for the special promotion index of the county police headquarters had already been sorted out this afternoon and sent to the personnel department, and now it was sent to the director tomorrow for signature, and then it was directly publicized.

Besides, the little cubs in the shape class have already said that it is really inappropriate to move now.

He pinched the Fukuzawa Yukichi in the jar, and his face was cloudy for a while, but Kazama Fuda was still very professional in this regard, at least his attitude immediately changed for the better when he saw the money, and he sighed:

"But it's still a bit late, this kind of Fuchuan tea has to be brewed for a long time to have a fragrance, it would be nice if the time was pushed a little further, which is a bit of a pity."

"That's a shame." Takitanizawa frowned slightly, as if he understood something.

But without the slightest hesitation, he took out a teapot of the same color from behind him as if by magic, and smiled to solve problems for the other party:

"But I still have a can of Sichuan root tea here, you can get your hands on it and see if it is fresh enough to pick it at this time."

Fuda Kazama's eyes lit up again.

Quietly reached out and took the teapot.

Lifting the lid, a smile appeared on the slightly obese face, and the two fingers pinched and the mouth was about to bloom.

"New enough, new enough!"

"This can is definitely the first pick!"

"This tea is good, although the packaging of two cans of tea does not look very good, but the smell is very fragrant!"

Takitanizawa knew that this matter was basically decided, and he didn't care if it was worth the premium this time: "It's good if you can like it." ”

When it was done, he was in no hurry to leave.

Instead, he sat down and chatted with Fuda Kazama.

Even if you pay the price, asking someone for help can't be just a pat on the back and leave, it's the most basic process, and maintaining a relationship may still be useful.

And Fuda Kazama is not in a hurry to sleep.

The two fat hands kept stroking the jar, and the eyes that were almost slit showed a soft color, and I didn't know what kind of big treasure of the ancient shogunate was, in short, the two talked very smoothly, and the smile passed.

He even personally escorted him out of the gate.

Holding Takitana's arm intimately as if he was wearing a pair of pants, he didn't know and thought he was a relative.

And not long after Takitanizawa left.

Fuda Kazama, who closed the door of his house and returned to his study, sat down again, pushed down his silver-rimmed glasses, took out the two thick stacks of Fukuzawa Yukichi from the tea can, put them into a small safe under his tea table, and nodded with satisfaction.

Closing the door to the safe, he muttered for a moment in the main seat, then pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
