Onizuka Hachizo was waiting at the door.

This is the veteran instructor who has served in the police academy for I don't know how many years, and for him, he can count every grass and tree before going out with his eyes closed.

For example, he knew that smoking was prohibited in the school, and the door was a rare place to come out and relax when working, so when he walked here from the training ground, he had already reflexively touched the lighter in his hand.

Then Onizuka remembered that his student couldn't stand the smell of smoke, and the lighter went around in his hand and fell back into his pocket.

He has a square face, and one mischievous student after another has created a momentum that is not angry and self-assured, with thick eyebrows raised and nasolabial folds deeply embedded in the sides of his lips, stretching the corners of his lips longer.

Receiving Yu Karazawa's application reminded Onizuka of a lot of past events at once.

- Date Airlines, Shibuyani Zero, Morofu Keimitsu, Matsuda Jinpei, Hagiwara Kenji, Hiroshi Karasawa

These six names, even if seven years have passed, as long as the topic of thorns is mentioned, they will never be absent from the small talk.

The bloody storm in the class back then, as long as the instructor who had heard a little about it, none of them would cast an admiring look at the ghost mound.

If it's just a different personality, it's better to say, who hasn't experienced the time of youth and frivolity?

The crux of the matter is that these people are not only very different in temperament, but also in terms of talents, and to some extent, the word "genius" is not enough to sum it up.

Proud and talented, the result of their collision is almost guessable to the naked eye - in fact, on the first night of school, two out of six people have already fought each other.

The subsequent training was also filled with a faint smell of gunpowder, and just when Onizuka thought that this atmosphere would continue until graduation, suddenly one day, the relationship between several people began to quickly break the ice, and they became familiar with it at a rocket-like speed.

After that, wherever you go, you can catch a glimpse of the six heads calling friends.

…… And they worked together to save themselves from the rope. Thinking of this, Onizuka couldn't help but shake his head in fear.

Perhaps from the very beginning, they have already shown the typical characteristics of young people: flexible, alert, calm and rational, although sometimes they are still enthusiastic, but in the end they also achieve good results.

At that time, Onizuka had already anticipated the future of these six people rising in the police world, and the result was not what he expected, Hagiwara Kenji became the backbone of the explosive department, and Date was transferred to search for a lesson.

- As for Hiroshi Karazawa.

In fact, among the radiant six-member group of those year, Tang Zeyu's existence was not so conspicuous.

He is slightly shorter than everyone else, and his personality is also more introverted, and many times in the lively group, only a quiet silhouette can be seen.

As soon as he saw this name, the first thing that appeared in Onizuka's mind was not his face, but the smoky gray plaid scarf that never left his body.

But if you think about it again, you can see his obsidian eyes in all the events that still impress him to this day. Behind the heavy cheers, cheers and celebrations, there was a calm and thoughtful light.

So Onizuka gradually realized: maybe this person is not the most dazzling, but he must be the one who has gone the farthest back among the six people.

I heard that Tang Zeyu has investigated countless major cases at hand, even if the high-level officials have the intention to suppress him, they still can't stop his momentum of promotion, and his promotion to police station should be a matter of one or two months.

Thinking like this, Onitsuka had already caught a glimpse of the familiar smoky gray plaid scarf in the thin mist not far away.

*

Tang Zeyu stopped in front of him, bowed, and said, "Instructor Onizuka." ”

After receiving a reply to the request to view the file in the mailbox, it was not until he returned to the hotel in the evening that he belatedly realized that the agreed time had coincided with Conan's.

So he pressed the screen on, and was thinking about how to explain the situation, but on the other end, he received a text message from Conan first, saying that Mori Kogoro had received a commission from Mizuno and couldn't go back until tomorrow, so he had to change the time.

It happened that Tang Zeyu was going back to the police academy the next day, and the two hit it off and happily postponed the meeting to Monday.

When Tang Zeyu straightened up, Onizuka Hachizo went up and down, and first carefully looked at the student he hadn't met for a long time.

The rushing years have left almost no traces on Tang Zeyu's body, and when Onizuka has noticed the irreversible aging in his body, he still looks so young, with a tall posture, a radiant look, and eyes as bright as stars.

Seven years have passed, his height has not increased, but his temperament has become more gentle, if it used to be a frozen stream, now the river under the ice has quietly thawed and bubbled down.

As he walked on the road leading to the archives, Tang Zeyu turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on the neatly lined phalanx on the playground, and he couldn't help but reveal a touch of nostalgia.

"Young, right? One session after another, it's all like this," Onizuka also looked in his direction, and couldn't help but sigh, "Now the management is a lot stricter, and it all started with you." ”

"You're laughing," Tang Zeyu bent the corner of his eyes, "where do we have this honor." ”

"Don't be embarrassed! Of course, there are thorns every year, and I think it's all inferior to you," Speaking of this, Onizuka's tone was a little bit of hatred for iron and steel, "One by one, follow the rules - boring!" ”

Tang Zeyu smiled: "What I said, if there are a few who are too jumpy, you should complain about their disobedience." ”

"That's right."

Onizuka took the key out of his pocket, and there was a loud bang. At this moment, the wind swirled in the corridor like a wind whirling over the two boys, and the fast running did not delay them and shouted: "Instructor - who is this newcomer?" ”

Tang Zeyu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: They can't treat themselves as new students, right?

The current police academy adopts closed management, and it is difficult to see outsiders for three or five months in a row, and the young eyes fall on Tang Zeyu, with whispering excitement and curiosity.

"These boys." Onizuka muttered to himself, and then said in a loud voice, "Have you heard of it?" You seniors! Hiroshi Karazawa! ”

Tang Zeyu didn't have time to stop this sentence, and his half-stretched hand paused in place awkwardly. As soon as the words came out, the other end of the playground gasped neatly, and an excited voice said loudly: "I know him!" I didn't expect real people to be more handsome than TV! ”

Tang Zeyu's hand froze in mid-air, retracted after a moment, and pulled the scarf up again.

"Senior Karazawa! You're my idol! ”

"Senior and instructor plead—"

"Save the kids! The instructor uses you to train people every day! ”

The chattering discussion came and went, more than one decibel higher than before, Tang Zeyu thought about it, spread his hands helplessly, and said loudly: "There is no way - I still have to call him an instructor!" ”

There was a burst of laughter from the playground.

Onizuka Hachizo led him all the way to the archives and placed the key in the palm of Karasawa Yu's hand.

"According to the regulations, the files stored here can only be seen, not taken away," he said, "and I can't take pictures, and I have to check my phone album when I go out, please forgive me." ”

Tang Zeyu nodded gently, bowed and thanked him, and pushed the door in.

A thin layer of ash accumulates on the floor of the archives, and it is only when the graduates leave each year that new yellow paper bags are added to the shelves, and more often than the time there is nothing but dust in the air, floating thinly.

Many paper documents have to be kept away from light, so the whole room presents a dull gray-white tone, the sunlight falls obliquely in the gaps, and the transparent dust swells silently, like the words of the archives, rushing away.

Tang Zeyu didn't even consciously let go of the footsteps, he held his breath, slowly passed through the bookshelves line after row, walked to the floor seven years ago, and finally stopped.

*

"On the xth day of the year, the shooting range, in the face of a major safety accident, I was praised once."

"On the xth day of the year, the convenience store, the road encountered robbers, organized the masses, defended the safety of property, and praised once."

There seemed to be a faint temperature flowing on the white paper printed in the lead type, and the eyes swept over the lines of words, and the sleeping memories revived at that moment.

Through the concise and concise text of the report, Tang Zeyu doesn't know when he participated in it and what he did specifically, but he can think of the content of the police academy chapter, and then reflect it with the records in front of him, which still gives people a false sense of satisfaction and participation.

"X year, x month, x day, big demerit. Clean the bathhouse. ”

Tang Zeyu immediately remembered the title page of the four people sweeping the bathhouse until they fell asleep, and Zero looked at them helplessly with a mop on the side, and couldn't help laughing.

He roughly checked it, and the major events recorded above and several main chapters outside the police academy can basically correspond one by one, and it can be determined that he has participated in every event and has never been absent.

He took off the brown paper bag on the iron shelf and sat on the table by the door of the archive room.

The files of the six people were arranged on the table in front of them, and the content of the resumes was printed to an astonishing extent, and it is not difficult to imagine the picture of the six people entering and leaving the same place at that time.

Thinking of this, Tang Zeyu lowered his head and took out the wallet containing the group photo.

In the still image, the flamboyant teenager smiles tirelessly, the time is frozen on the day of graduation, the cherry blossoms are flying and the sun is shining, the corners of his mouth are carefree, and he never knows what he will face in the future-

A new permission unlock has been detected. The electronic voice suddenly said, [Read memory, keyword: [Police Academy Group]. Is it delivered immediately? 3、2、1——】

[Wait?] Tang Zeyu was taken aback, and the hand holding his chin slid suddenly, [What unlocked? Why do you need to pass on-]

Before he could finish speaking, a twist appeared in front of his eyes, appearing in the bright shooting range seven years ago!

TBC.
