Chapter Ninety-Six: Have We Seen Each Other Before?
Mizuho District.
Tamitsu Town.
It's late autumn, and Shimatanigawa sits in the driver's seat and looks up at the crimson in the distance, like the sunset on the first day of rebirth, and he still feels so unreal about everything now.
When he first arrived, he had no memories of his original body, and panic spread like seaweed, taking over every corner of his heart as if it were pouring out of Pandora's box.
It lasted for a long time, and it was not until later that he gradually accepted the reality, and was even able to ridicule Nagoya, the prefecture of love in Kansai, was not as hot as Tokyo.
Shimatani recalled, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh how great he was.
'What do you think of yourself if someone asks you in the future......
'That must be a great pounding wreck!' ’
Or maybe he wants to be the lover of the dreams of the wives of the entire Aichi Prefecture! ’
The car drove through Tamitsu Town.
The long alleys and uneven roofs of the houses make it seem as if the buildings have been cut into slender strips across the sky.
Shimatanigawa jumped around looking at the map navigation, and for a moment wondered if he had made a mistake.
'Did you turn the wrong corner at that intersection just now?' ’
He was about to ask a local for directions, and there happened to be a convenience store supermarket in front of him, so he took out the mask, sunglasses and baseball cap he had prepared in advance, and put them on one by one.
The first section leader who is careful to prevent problems before they happen.
Get out.
He covered his face tightly and prepared to ask residents in the vicinity of Tamitsu to see where the traffic accident had occurred the night before.
Lock the car and turn around.
He came to the convenience store.
"Boss, do you know how to get around the three-chome?"
"Three-chome. You go straight ahead for 200 meters, then turn left for a department store, walk a distance from there, and then turn left and you will see the town in the suburbs. ”
"Thanks, excuse me."
He bought a bottle of water, left a few coins and left in a hurry.
Walking back in the direction of the parked BMW, he felt faintly restless along the way.
I feel like something big is going to happen today, but unfortunately after thinking about it, it was fruitless.
"Maybe I'm old and always thinking too much."
Thick cumulus clouds floated in the air, and Shimatani River stood in place, looking up at the sky at an angle of 90 degrees.
"Sneeze !!"
He caught a cold.
Hurriedly lifted the mask up again, his throat was a little hoarse, and he had to keep warm when he went back.
The weather has been getting colder and colder lately, and winter is about to start next month.
Having said that, he really envied Tokyo, which was warm throughout autumn and winter.
I heard that the reason for Tokyo's heat is that as the city expands and traffic congestion increases, density and humidity increase dramatically, resulting in crowds in every corner.
To this end, Tokyo decided to develop a tram system to meet the growing demand for passengers, and it is easy to dredge the traffic jam in a way that is easy to heat up!
On the left and right sides of the alley are fenced out, behind which is a whole house of residents.
Back in front of the BMW, Shimatanigawa took out the car keys and opened the door.
Suddenly, the sound of a locomotive engine came loudly behind him!
In less than a second, the locomotive sped past behind.
"There's something wrong, it's still driving so fast in the alley."
Shimatani River complained, and then prepared to sit in the driver's seat.
Suddenly, the roar of the locomotive, which had already gone far away, came again, from far to near, and the black locomotive, which was supposed to be far away, suddenly stopped in front of Shimatani River like the wind.
After a while, I saw a tall woman wearing a Korean version of a breasted trench coat, a knitted vest inside, and a pair of light blue jeans on the lower half of her body sitting on the locomotive, and her long legs perfectly controlled the height of the locomotive.
The woman stopped the locomotive, the engine was not turned off, and took off the helmet.
A straight light brown hair was shaken, revealing a beautiful face.
This beautiful woman like the goddess of the wind, with one hand tucked her helmet under her shoulder, her blue pupils first looked at the red BMW, and then at Shimatanigawa, and frowned: "This car is yours?" ”
Suddenly asked, Shimatani River was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?" ”
"Ask."
"Mine, what's the problem?"
The corners of Hagiwara Lishi's mouth curled slightly, as if she was smiling: "Tell me honestly, otherwise I will arrest you." ”
Shimatani River was immediately alert, it was obvious that the woman in front of him was not an ordinary person, and maybe he knew his royal sister boss.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he held the car keys in his hand and shook them: "I borrowed the car from a friend, this is also illegal?" ”
"Of course it's not illegal."
Ogiwara Riyo looked at the man wearing a mask, sunglasses, and baseball cap in front of her, and always felt weird, paused, and then asked, "Have we met before?" ”
Trick him?
Shimatani Kawa shook his head, didn't bother to deal with the other party, sat in the driver's seat and started the BMW and drove forward.
Looking at the man who ignored her, Ogiwara Lishi was slightly surprised, and the policeman's intuition made her a little curious about this man with a strange temperament, so she drove a motorcycle to chase after her.
A gust of wind blew on the road, and a murmuring rustle and the slight scraping of leaves rang out around Tamitsu Town.
There is a department store not far from San-chome, which happens to be in a small commercial street with a lot of foot traffic.
Shimatani Kawa parked the BMW.
Get out.
He had just pressed the cap and was about to ask passers-by for questioning, and by the way to collect some information, he didn't expect the sound of the locomotive engine to come from behind him.
A drift, the biker woman parked her car steadily, locked her helmet, and walked towards him.
"I've been to this place once before, and the barbecue restaurant in front of me tasted very good, and I never came back after graduating from college."
Hagiwara Riyo said to herself, a smile appeared on her lips, tilted her head slightly, and gently brushed the hair from her face with her fingers, and glanced at Shimatani River beside her.
"Hmm" Shimatani hesitated, but still didn't say anything.
A strange woman.
It's better to stay away from her.
Shimatanigawa's face was expressionless, and in fact, he couldn't see his expression even when he was wearing a mask. I saw him with his hands in his pockets and walking towards the pedestrian street in front of him.
"Hey, you're so boring, wait for me."
Hagiwara Rishi looked at the man's back, squinted slightly, shook his head, and followed.
The footsteps of the two men got closer and closer, until they walked side by side to the pedestrian street, and the flow of people increased.
A rickety bicycle suddenly crossed the other side of the road, and a short-sleeved boy wearing a skull pattern on the car rang the bell frantically, shouting "The handbrake is out of order, get out of the way-"
In the middle of the pedestrian street, an old woman happened to walk by, and when she saw the bicycle that was rushing straight towards her, she was immediately frightened and overwhelmed.
Immediately afterwards, the boy on the bicycle bounced up and fell out with the bike.
The surrounding passers-by stepped forward to watch, and Shimatanigawa, who was accustomed to protecting himself, didn't want to participate in this kind of thing, and he was just about to leave, when he suddenly felt that his sleeve was being pulled, and then he was forced to squeeze into the crowd of onlookers.
"Hey, old woman, I shouted that the brakes failed, don't you know how to give way?!"
A short-sleeved boy wearing a sunhat and a skull pattern squatted in front of the old woman in an unkind tone and said in a flirtatious tone.
"I" The old woman carrying the basket of vegetables fell to the ground, and tomatoes and greens fell all around her.
"Okay, okay, seeing how old you are, I'm too lazy to bother with you, just pay for the cleaning of my clothes and pants." The prickly boy complained.
"But... It's obviously you're wrong."
"Less nonsense, give me money!"
The prickly man in front of him blamed the old woman who was in the way, thinking that it was not the other party who was in front of his way, and he would not turn the front of the car and cause the wheels to slip and fall.
When the surrounding passers-by saw this vexatious scene, they didn't want to get into trouble and watched silently or took a detour.
In the crowd of onlookers, Ogiwara Rishi, who has a sense of justice as a policeman, whispered dissatisfied: "This person is too good, and he is the one who obviously doesn't take advantage of it." ”
Listening to the woman's innocent words, Shimatani River sighed. If it weren't for the fact that this woman had no relationship with him and had no reason, otherwise, he would definitely tell her well, "Don't do justice, you didn't hit people, why did you go up and help?"
The world was hot and cold, and Shimatani River turned to leave, and suddenly found that the woman beside him was gone.
"What about people?"
Subconsciously, he turned his head and saw a woman rushing forward from the crowd of onlookers, shouting at the gangster-like prickly man.
"Hey! Why did you make a mistake and justifiably claim compensation?! Don't hurry up and pick up the old man! Hagiwara Riyo said indignantly.
"Who are you? Less nosy! When the prickly man saw that it was a woman who came forward to help, he didn't pay attention to it: "If it weren't for this old woman's hands and feet blocking my bicycle just now, I wouldn't have fallen."
Seeing that this boy was arrogant and unreasonable, Hagiwara Riyo didn't bother to listen to his sophistry. She squatted down and took the initiative to help the old woman: "Are you okay, grandma?" ”
"I'm fine," the old woman said, followed by a burst of thanks.
After helping the old woman, Hagiwara Rishi glared at the prickly man fiercely, clenched her two little hands, and said angrily:
"This pedestrian street is obviously closed to vehicles, and you can't see the signs posted outside, are you blind? Why are you embarrassed to ask for someone else's cleaning fee? Apologize quickly! ”
The woman who suddenly appeared was speechless, and the prickly boy rushed forward angrily and grabbed the collar of Hagiwara Riyo's coat, and saw the people around him pointing at him, he was annoyed and angry: "You woman, what are you doing, do you want to be beaten?!" ”
More and more people gathered, and the atmosphere reached a critical point.
Tensions are about to erupt.
Hagihara Rishi, as the captain of the third traffic mobile squad, why hasn't he seen strong winds and waves? I won't be afraid of a boy who hasn't grown any hair at all.
If it weren't for the other party's bicycle, if it was a different bike, it is estimated that she would instruct her traffic police to give a few tickets to this stinky boy every day.
Ogiwara Riyo was not afraid of danger, and asked with a smile, "What?" Do you want to use violence? It's definitely your fault that you went to court. ”
"Damn."
The prickly man is so angry that he wants to punch when he is impulsive!
Sensing the movement and trajectory of her opponent's punch, Hagiwara Riyo took a step back with her right foot, ready to use an over-the-shoulder throw as soon as she avoided it.
Before she could make a move, she saw a wide and powerful palm grab the wrist of the prickly boy's fist.
"Who are you? Want to be nosy? The prickly man's face turned blue and white.
How can there be so many good people who love to be in the limelight, he just wants to slander people, is his luck so bad today?
Shimatani Kawa shook his wrist away, gave him a cold look, and ignored it. Instead, he glanced at Riyo Hagiwara, his eyes full of self-doubt.
He didn't know why he suddenly made a move, anyway, his body was inexplicably 'helpful', which was really against his selfish personality.
'Mom, my personality has collapsed! ’
Shimatani almost shouted.
But he has already made a move, and if he doesn't say something in front of everyone, it seems that he is not enough to be forced.
"Ahem." Shimatanigawa coughed lightly and whispered to Hagiwara Riyo, "I saw the patrol coming this way, let's hurry up." ”
The crowd of onlookers was pushing and shoving, and two police officers in blue uniforms and armed with batons were squeezing inside.
Hagiwara Riyo cast a grateful look, and suddenly, as if she had thought of some bad idea, she was talking as she prepared to kick her legs-
"You bastard, grandma's revenge, I'll help her get revenge!"
Ogiwara Rishi, who was more excited in the face of the enemy and often did not abide by the rules and regulations of the police, kicked straight at the defenseless thorny man in front of him, and kicked it fiercely, hitting the boy in the crotch.
The prickly man knelt on the ground, covered his crotch with both hands, broke out in a cold sweat, and scolded in a trembling voice: "Hey, you guy is waiting for me."
"Run, the patrol is coming!"
Shimatani saw the patrol coming, and planned to get out of the way first, but he didn't want to make a record for no reason.
Hagiwara Rishi didn't want to be famous in the police headquarters because of this kind of thing, so she decisively grabbed the hand of Shimatanigawa, who was about to sneak away alone, and then ran away quickly in the opposite direction.
"Let's go, I don't want to end my good mood with a day off today to make a note in the interrogation room!"
The thorny man who was holding his lower gear and trying to catch up with them to settle the score, was caught by two patrolmen who caught up behind him before he could run two steps.
Hagiwara Riyo turned around and grimaced at the bastard boy, then waved at the old woman again, "Goodbye, grandma!" ”
Looking at this woman who is full of a sense of justice, but is more radical in the face of the enemy and acts decisively and directly, Shimatani Kawa is a little afraid.
This woman. What the hell is going on?
Do you act so carelessly?
For the first time, he felt uneasy in his heart.
Let Hagiwara Riyo take his hand and run all the way into the distance, and the figures of the two people shuttle between the traffic.
This goddess-like woman, her hair is like a flame dancing in the wind, and it is more and more dazzling.
The two turned into a street corner, and the traffic lights flashed alternately, as if they were running a marathon. Moving along the road, Shimatani felt more like they were racing against the thin clouds overhead.
"Wait a minute."
The sound of the streets seemed to be absorbed by the clouds overhead.
In addition to the sound of the wind in his ears, there was only the faint panting of the woman, and the silver bell-like laughter that could not be suppressed.
The pace gradually slowed down, and Hagiwara Riyo put a white hand on her chest, exhaled slowly, and said with a smile: "I was scared to death just now, and I thought I would be caught." ”
"yes." Shimatani replied and lifted the mask up again.
The heart of defense is indispensable.
He felt that this woman was not a good person.
"I'm leaving." Shimatani River is decisive and direct.
"Huh?" Hagiwara Riyo walked halfway and looked back at Shimatani River standing in the shadow of the tree: "Wait. Seeing each other is fate, and I haven't known you yet. Let me introduce myself, my name is Riyo Hagiwara. ”
The blue clouds are blank, and Twilight does not shy away from pulling the thin shadows of the two of them long.
Looking at the unpredictable woman in front of him, Shimatani Kawa hesitated for a moment before he slowly spoke:
"My name."
