Jason thought and looked at the business card again.

‘Master Tongshou Temple’!

I wonder how the investigation by Officer Ryosuke went?

…

Nibbling on the vegetarian pancakes in his hand and drinking water, Ryosuke sat in the passenger seat with his brows furrowed.

There was supposed to be sausage in the pancakes for dinner, but now?

A piece of lettuce would be nice.

I can’t even afford bottled water.

You can only use a thermos cup to take food in restaurants.

I have to give up the eggs for breakfast.

I have to give up the soup for lunch.

When he thought that such days would last for at least a month, Ryosuke's brows furrowed even more because he said a treat too much, which made Urashima's chewing noise become much quieter in the driver's seat.

The young police officer also had vegetarian pancakes for dinner.

However, I didn’t ask for lettuce.

He chose pickles.

It's salty and spicy, and the water is hot water from the store.

A mouthful of vegetarian pancakes and a mouthful of water.

It's crispy at first, then salty and spicy spreads in your mouth, and then it's mixed with water and swallowed.

Urashima couldn't help but laugh.

Very delicious.

Although not as good as usual dinner.

But it doesn't taste good either.

Especially with Ryosuke-senpai doing this together, it’s really great.

The extremely easily satisfied young man looked towards the temple not far away while eating.

Tongshou Temple!

A very small temple.

If it weren't for Jason's information, they wouldn't have noticed it even if they passed by Tongshou Town.

After all, the entire bustling market has already covered this small temple, not to mention the elementary school in the distance.

"Senior, have you noticed..."

The young man stared at Tongshou Temple in the distance and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to describe them.

"The small hermit hides in the wild, the great hermit hides in the city."

Ryosuke said slowly.

"right!"

“That’s how it feels!”

"I didn't feel anything about this temple before I discovered it, but when I learned about it and saw it, I always had an unusual feeling."

The young man nodded repeatedly.

"It's naturally not easy to be related to that guy."

Ryousuke said very naturally.

The young man knew that that guy was Jason.

The young man still vividly remembers Jason's meal, which cost 271 yuan.

However, apart from being able to eat, being tall and strong, the young man had no other impression of Jason.

"You must be wary of guys like that."

"I smell some asshole on him."

"But even those bastards are just kids compared to that guy."

Ryosuke warned his assistant.

He doesn't want his assistant to be draped in the national flag one day.

Faced with such a solemn instruction, the young man immediately nodded seriously.

Then, the young man saw Ryosuke push open the door and get out of the car.

"Stay in the car."

"I'll be back in half an hour."

"If I don't come back, you should go back to the police station immediately."

Ryosuke stopped his assistant who was about to get out of the car.

"Yes, senior."

The young man nodded in response, but there was confusion on his face.

According to the rules, he and Ryosuke need to act together.

And the same is true customarily.

Nothing will happen, right?

Thinking of Ryosuke's abnormality, the young man looked worried.

Can you disobey Ryousuke's orders?

Young people don't have the courage.

All he could do was look at Ryosuke's back worriedly.

Ryousuke could clearly feel the worry of his young assistant, but he did not comfort him. He was not used to doing this, and everything in front of him gave him no chance to do so.

He stared at the figure who appeared at the edge of Tongshou Temple with a serious face, and then quickly walked into Tongshou Temple.

Iwashita!

What he calls a bastard.

Outlaw!

Ten years ago, I broke into and robbed three houses. Each time, I killed the owner and plundered the property.

Then, he was captured by his own hands.

But during the escort, the other party actually killed the escort and ran away.

More importantly, the other party snatched the escort's gun.

Then, just as they were waiting, the bastard disappeared.

Disappeared without a trace.

It seems like it has never appeared in this world.

Ryosuke had put a lot of effort into searching the other party.

But nothing was found.

In the end, I had to keep the other party in my mind.

But what Ryousuke didn't expect was that he actually saw this bastard outside the 'Tongshou Temple'.

Is this a coincidence?

still……

trap?

As an experienced detective, Ryousuke thought almost subconsciously.

Of course, he was thinking about more than just this.

There is also the mystery of the other party’s disappearance back then.

‘Someone helped Iwashita’!

Everyone can be sure of this, otherwise, how could a wanted criminal disappear?

Who was the person who helped Iwashita?

There are many answers.

Each one is not very good.
