"Xiaotang, are you still outside at this late hour? Bodo's night is not safe, come back early!"

"Eh? Even working part-time is dangerous... No need, although you're an adult, you're still a child, aren't you? You don't need living expenses or anything like that."

"After all, we are relatives."

...Can it be done to this extent just because of such a weak bond of blood.

Back to "home" - that's right, he actually has a place that can be called that. As soon as Ri Xiatang raised his hand, the door was opened from the inside.

"Brother!" Kusaka Ren leaned out with her face stuck to the tape, "You're back!"

"Lian—you guys fought with your classmates again today!"

Before he finished speaking, a very lethal slipper was thrown over, showing Hakata style.

Although she is only a middle-aged woman, her aunt has a loud voice. As a single woman with a child, her lethality in all aspects cannot be underestimated.

"They made the first move! Old woman!"

Ren Kusaka dodged the slipper skillfully.

"Dare to call your mother an old woman, I see that you are impatient to live, then I will ask a question, did you win?" "I won, I won."

Seeing Ri Xiatang, the annoyed woman instantly burst into a smile: "Xiaotang is back, come quickly, I made delicious hamburger meat today!"

This is a poor family. When passing through the narrow entrance, Ri Xiatang touched the medicine in his pocket.

Just a few milligrams can kill a person without pain.

He has figured out the situation of this "family". The woman is his aunt by blood. He gave his surname to the child and named him Kusakaren.

In the beginning, the support from relatives was not bad, but soon after "Ri Xiatang"'s parents died in a car accident, she had to raise Lian alone. For this reason, she had to work three jobs a day, but it was only enough to make ends meet. That's all.

And because of the single-parent family, Lian often encountered campus bullying/bullying incidents at school. As he got older, he recently started to drop out of school to work to subsidize his family.

If there is no accident, such a family is in Bodo, and Lian will soon meet because of the conflicts and bad things on campus, and even provoke Yakuza, and then she is lucky enough to be absorbed into it, making black money without telling her mother... until everything returns. No head.

This family is like a solitary boat on the sea, precarious, and only needs a little external force——

will fall apart.

"Xiaotang, are you in a bad mood?"

Ri Xiatang, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was suddenly mentioned at the dinner table, and he broke out in a cold sweat while holding the medicine in his hand.

"no, what happened."

"Ah, I just wonder, Xiaotang, do you find me annoying?" His aunt already frowned a lot, "After all, I'm not your biological parents... just an aunt who popped up halfway, You are so poor, you can't give you anything at all, but you still care about things..."

"...No," Ri Xiatang put down the medicine in his pocket, seeing that this woman is about to cry, it is better to send her on the road when she is in a good mood, "I am already... I should support myself .”

The implication is that she has no responsibility to raise him.

"All I'm going to say is this—"

Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly became excited, and Ri Xiatang felt a bad premonition.

"Dangdangdang," she pulled out a large bag of books from behind, "Xiaotang, guess what this is?"

"……what?"

"It's Dongda University's self-examination materials!" The woman changed her face quickly after her tearful eyes changed, "I found out, Xiaotang, you are as smart as your brother, and you are very bad at picking men like me, and Lian's kind of only Idiots who can fight are different, they look like college material!"

Sun Xia, a 15-year-old MIT graduate, Tang, was silent.

Dongda's self-examination materials are not cheap, and it's a little hard for him to imagine where the woman got the money... I'm afraid it's all used up the little savings.

"Recently, the convenience store I worked in has been upgraded. It is said that it has become the main store in Hakata District, and my salary has also increased a lot, so I thought, Xiaotang, don't go out to work recently, and study hard. You can still catch up with the self-enrollment exam of Dongda University in a few months! Once you are admitted to Dongda University, you will be able to live a better life in the future—maybe you can eat high-end sushi in Ginza every day!"

"Oh, oh, it's amazing!" Nisakalian clapped her hands with her mouth full, not knowing what was going on.

Under the sun, I haven't eaten anything in America. Tang suddenly felt his heart was stabbed by something sharp.

That night.

In order to save electricity, Ri Xiatang looked at the books that smelled of ink by the moonlight in front of the window. Some of them were obviously second-hand, but the corners and corners were carefully wrapped, and they looked brand new.

The feeling of being pricked by a sharp object came again. He wanted to smoke a little, so he took one out of his pocket and held it between his fingers...but he didn't light it for a long time.

"Come out." Sensing the aura behind him keenly, Ri Xiatang said calmly without stopping his movements.

"Hey, brother," Kusaka Ren ran over quickly, "Are you going to take the entrance exam to Dongda?"

It's as if he can pass the exam if he wants to... although it is so.

"Maybe." He replied flatly.

"After that, I will have an older brother who is studying at Dongda University!" Nishika Ren seemed a little excited, "I'm not very smart, but Dongda sounds difficult, brother, you are so confident, you deserve it ..."

"Speak the key."

"You really are still in a bad mood, brother."

Perhaps the fighting faction of the wild type does have an animal-like intuition.

"I know... the students in my school are also very unhappy when they are arranged by their parents to do something." Lian fumbled and took out a handful of candies from her pocket, "But I think .”

"It's great that the old lady can still take care of me."

He wiped his nose and handed the candy to Ri Xiatang.

Although he fought fiercely in school, he was actually a good boy who didn't smoke, drink or eat sugar.

Because—"The old woman always said that if you are unhappy, you can eat something sweet, and if you have something to celebrate, you can also eat something sweet."

...Evidently because he can only afford ordinary candy, Hixiatang wanted to say that eating A5 Wagyu beef, deep-sea caviar and sea urchin sushi would also make him feel better when he was unhappy.

But in the end he still took the somewhat cheap lollipop, put the cigarette in his hand back into his pocket, and buried the bag of medicine in the bottomless place.

"Hey." Kuxialian smiled silly.

"What—group, group leader or something—no, no, no, no—"

Today, Ren Kusaka, who is searching the office of the former head of Section [-] in the Metropolitan Police Department, is full of disbelief.

"Senior," Feng pinched his shoulder with one hand and made it difficult for him to move, "Although the fourth search class has been merged into the fourth class, Tang has already left the job, Naoto and the others are too junior..."

The main reason is that as the leader of Class [-], Feng is in an awkward position:

Her police rank is high enough, but where is the entry time? To find someone who has certain qualifications and is not too much higher than her, who is not directly related to the previous two section chiefs——

Sunflower lotus is the most suitable.

Of course, she can directly serve as the team leader of the Fourth Search Section, but this goes against the original intention of establishing a team-to-class, that is, a brand new department, so she decided to choose the indirect leadership method, absorbing the Fourth Search Section and building a new department at the same time.

"That's right, that's right," Ri Xiatang was watching the excitement nearby, chewing the lollipop, "Lian, just agree."

"Brother—" Since starting work, Nisakalian rarely calls him so affectionately again, "I, I, I, I really can't do it!"

However, Ri Xiatang did not respond to such a call, but Youzai Youzai left the scene... and closed the door intimately.

"Ahem," the gray-haired old instructor who had been standing at the back suddenly said, "Lian."

"Yes!" Facing the instructor who trained her in the police academy, Kusaka Ren stood up straight reflexively.

"Do you remember why you became a policeman?"

"...Of course I won't forget."

Sun Xiaren stopped struggling, he clenched his fists tightly, and then slowly released them.

As usual, he skipped part of his job to go to work that day, and he also received the salary of the month-he decided to help the old woman buy a cake, the kind of high-end goods displayed in the coffee shop.

Although the old woman never said it, he could tell that she liked this little girl's sweets... It was definitely not his own greed.

High-end products also have beautiful packaging, which is as big as a palm, and I wish I could wrap it in eighteen layers of paper.

"I'm back...brother?"

Humming a ditty, Kusakaren walked up the iron stairs, and at the door of her house, she met her cousin who was recently preparing for the Tokyo University exam.

"Why don't you go in? Did you forget to bring the key?" It was rare for him to see his cousin forget something, and he was still a little happy in his heart, "I'll open the door!"

"Wait!" However, Ri Xiatang suddenly pressed his hand holding the key, with such strength that his veins almost collapsed.

"What, what's wrong?"

"..." Ri Xiatang didn't say anything, but took off the strength from his hands little by little, staring at the red mark left by him in a daze, "Open it."

"Oh……"

Sunxia Lian suddenly had a premonition that she was about to be sucked into the black hole, as if the key opened was not a home, but a monster's lair.

but.

The old woman is still at home. She is taking a day off today, saying that she is cooking a big dinner tonight to celebrate the coming Christmas——

Bang.

The cake fell to the ground. Because of the many layers of packaging, none of it overflowed, but the wrapping paper was dyed a bright red color little by little.

"How is this going……"

The living room, kitchen, and dining room are crowded together, and there are only two bedrooms in the house. They are all stained with blood, and the smell of rust is so fresh that it hits the nose, and a pool is slowly spreading on the ground.

"That thing is your biological father," Ri Xiatang's voice seemed to emerge from deep frozen ground, "He joined Bodo's gang, owed a large amount of gambling debts, and saw his aunt... ...so I got up and wanted to grab money, my aunt disagreed, and the two started fighting..."

"Later, the casino sent a killer to collect the money, and he found this man...that is a bad-tempered killer who likes to drain people's blood...and that's how it became."

While talking, Ri Xiatang wiped the gaps between his fingernails with alcohol, and stared fixedly at the pile of books in the corner of the living room through the crack of the open door.

Already spattered with blood.

"Because that man is a yakuza, he's such a jerk, or all the bastards are in the yakuza, I'm stupid, I can't figure it out."

Kusaka Ren is no longer the bald head he had when Section Chief Nozaki was around. After his hair grows a bit, he stands there and seems to be more similar to Kusakatang.

Obviously in the past, due to the difference in temperament, although the two brothers looked alike, few people could connect them at a glance.

"Then the police came, and at that time, my brother told me that he didn't plan to go to the University of Tokyo, and decided to go directly to the police academy..." Nishika Ren rarely showed such a decadent look, "I can only fight, civil servants I barely passed the exams because my brother gave me extra lessons."

Feng scratched her hair. She understood that for people like them, comfort was unnecessary. Since they chose the police, it meant they decided to move on.

"Have you ever thought that now is an opportunity," the old instructor patted Ren Nishikaren on the head, "The higher your position, the more things you can do. And we give you this opportunity precisely because -"

"You have this qualification."
