Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

"Besides, I am an author of online novels, and I have very poor self-control."

"I...if I don't tie myself up with chains, I won't be able to concentrate on my work..."

"Mr. Policeman, please don't misunderstand..."

However, even if he explained it at this moment, it would be timely.

It no longer has any use.

The policeman next to him picked up the hatchet and said directly, "Someone reported to us that someone was imprisoned in this building, and during the imprisonment, the imprisoned man seemed to have been threatened with his life."

“We came here today just for this matter.”

"The iron chain on your body, the hatchet that appeared in the house, and the fingerprints on the hatchet."

"In the end, it will become evidence in a case where you are imprisoned or even have your life threatened."

"So you don't have to worry about the other party retaliating against you after this incident."

The police thought that Ito Hideki was afraid that the matter would be left unresolved, so he explained it to him.

But Ito Hideki explained it even better this time.

"It's really not what you said, Mr. Policeman, we are really not..."

He didn't have time to finish his words.

Another policeman nearby found a password box not far away where the paper was placed.

"Captain, there is a password box here."

"It seems like something is stored inside."

After the other party brought the password box.

The captain standing in the front turned around and signaled Ito Hideki.

"Please open this lockbox."

"I..." Ito Hideki looked at the password box nervously.

His cell phone was in the box, which was brought by Chun, and he didn't know the password.

But he knew after opening the box.

This would further confirm the fact that he was imprisoned.

So he neither moved nor spoke.

However, what he never expected was.

At this time, Chun, who was standing over there, said, "That's mine."

After hearing this, several policemen turned around at the same time and said, "Then please open this box. We need to do a routine inspection."

"No!" Ito Hideki shouted subconsciously.

Unfortunately, the girl had already reached out and entered the password without hesitation.

"drop……"

The box was unlocked, and the mobile phone inside was revealed.

The gloved policeman took the mobile phone out of the box and turned on the screen. The cover image of an online novel suddenly appeared on the screen.

Obviously, there is no need to explain. As an online novel author, this phone belongs to Hideki Ito.

The police then checked his computer.

"Captain, this computer is disconnected from the Internet, so we can conclude that the man is chained up and his electronic devices have been taken away and disconnected from the Internet."

"He had no way to seek help from the outside world."

"So now we can conclude, as we previously inferred, that this man had been in captivity."

"Later we will extract fingerprints from the password box, evidence, and some daily necessities in the house, and compare them with the fingerprints of the girl in the house."

"If the fingerprints match, we can draw a final conclusion on this case."

After the police responsible for recording and collecting evidence analyzed these.

The captain turned around and looked at Ito Hideki.

"I'm sorry, because you two are involved in this case, you need to go back with us for investigation."

"After 24 hours, depending on the progress, we can determine whether you can go home."

Ito Hideki opened his mouth.

But he said nothing.

His eyes were now fixed on the girl.

However, she really didn't struggle at all.

It seemed like she really said that she only wanted the ending she wanted... or, in other words, when she decided to do this, she had already chosen the ending for herself...

When the two were taken away from the apartment by the police.

There are already many nearby neighbors around.

Chapter 169: A Few Things About the Classical Literature Club

Ding--

When the bell rang, everyone in the classroom scattered.

Ishiyama Ryoma, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head and winked at Watanabe Hideyuki.

Watanabe Hideyuki understood the look in his eyes.

He meant to have lunch together at noon.

Ever since the last dinner together of four people, Asakura-chan has been like a sticky candy that can't be shaken off, coming over every day to invite Ryoma to have lunch.

At the beginning, Ishiyama Ryoma was not used to the enthusiasm of his schoolmate and the rhythm of this four-person dinner.

Gradually, he seemed to find it interesting.

Every time he and Watanabe mentioned some jokes from the anime, Asakura-chan would perfectly take over the conversation.

It feels like... I have gained another good brother who understands me.

But I don't know what happened recently, Watanabe seems to be having a quarrel with Nishii. When they are eating, as long as Watanabe is talking, Nishii just eats his rice and doesn't participate in the conversation.

vice versa.

No matter who is talking between the two people, the other will shut up obediently. This is even more practical than the mute button on the TV remote control.

Even Ishiyama Ryoma, who thought he had a low emotional intelligence, could see that something was wrong.

So, he and Asakura-kun discussed privately and decided to help the two of them restore their relationship.

He and his junior Asakura decided to name this action plan: Operation Reconciliation!

Sinai!

May the legendary galgame god bless him to have a successful battle.

After class, Asakura-chan waited at the classroom door for a long time as usual.

Ishiyama Ryoma and Watanabe Hide were walking in front, chatting and laughing, as if they were discussing some interesting topic; Asakura-kun and Nishii Satomi were walking side by side behind, sometimes whispering and sometimes laughing.

Asakura-san's eyes were shining with envy and anticipation for the two people in front of her, while Nishii Satomi listened to her thoughts with a gentle look on her face.

A group of people walked through the tree-lined path of the campus. The sunlight shone on them through the gaps between the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows.

Asakura-san suddenly sighed softly, and Nishii Satomi turned her head and asked with concern: "What's wrong, san?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little envious of them." Asakura smiled and shook her head, her eyes once again looking at Ishiyama Ryoma and Watanabe Hide in front of her.

Nishii Rimi followed her gaze and understood.

She gently held Asakura-san's hand, giving her silent comfort and support.

The four of them walked all the way like this until they reached the cafeteria.

Ishiyama Ryoma chose his favorite eel set meal without hesitation.

When the set meal was served, it was still slightly steaming, and the perfectly grilled eel exuded an enticing aroma.

The eel's skin was roasted until slightly browned, but the meat still retained its tender texture. The sweet and salty flavors of the sauce were intertwined, making it mouth-watering.

The small bowl of rice on the side is distinct and steaming, as if waiting to enter the diner's mouth together with the eel, completing a delicious symphony.

Meanwhile, Watanabe Hideyuki and Nishii Satomi both opted for tonkotsu ramen.

Tonkotsu ramen is famous for its rich soup base, in which the deliciousness of the pork bones is fully integrated into the soup, exuding a charming aroma.

The noodles are chewy and elastic, and paired with a few slices of pork, green onions and half a soft-boiled egg, it is a delicacy with great color, aroma and taste.

There was a bowl of steaming ramen in front of each of them, with satisfied smiles on their faces, as if the whole world was warmed by this bowl of ramen.

But Asakura-kun was different. She gently took out her lunch box.

The lunch box contained a variety of food: exquisite rice balls, a few pieces of carefully prepared sushi, some small Japanese fried foods, and my mother's special pickles.

Under the gaze of the three people, she put some fried foods into Ishiyama Ryoma's bowl - those fried foods were all his favorite types.

Ishiyama Ryoma stuffed all the fried foods into his mouth without saying a word.

Then, he was the first to break the silence, pretending to casually bring up a topic that everyone was interested in: "Oh, by the way, I recently watched a very funny anime, have you seen it?"

"He's the guy with super powers who's hiding his identity in school."

Asakura-kun immediately took over the conversation with great interest: "Is it the one about campus romance? I watched it too, it's super interesting!"

Ishiyama Ryoma took the opportunity to look at Watanabe Hideyuki and Nishii Satomi, hoping to direct the topic to them.

However, Nishii Satomi just lowered her head and ate the noodles silently, while Watanabe stared at the chopsticks in his hand in a daze.

Silence is not Cambridge tonight, but the cafeteria this afternoon.

The reunion campaign - failed!
