Chapter Index

    The beginning of summer is coming, the warmth is as usual

    The cherry blossoms are gradually falling, and the wind in Tokyo is tainted with a light summer feeling.The sunshine has faded away from the gentleness of spring and has become bright and warm, spreading warmth on the streets, courtyards, and on everyone who lives a stable life.In the yard of Dr. Ali’s house, layers of freshly picked green leaves have replaced the pink and white sky, and still exude a reassuring and gentle atmosphere.

    Fang Guling took advantage of his lunch break to come here again.Wearing casual clothes, he lost his seriousness at work and became more relaxed. He was holding a small picnic basket in his hand, containing fresh fruits, sandwiches, and a box of handmade cookies that had been baked just in the morning.”I was just passing by, come and see everyone.” He walked into the yard with a smile, his tone as natural as returning home.

    Akai Shuichi and Sato Ken had already sat down in the courtyard. Sato Ken was rarely silent and was quietly listening to Haibara Ai and the young detective team talking about interesting things in school.He was sitting upright, with a calm expression, and there was no trace of violence in his dark green eyes, only a touch of gentleness.The organized killer who once made people look down upon him is now like an ordinary adult, patiently talking to the children, and even his eyes soften.

    “Mr. Zero!” Ayumi saw him first and waved her little hands excitedly.

    Fangtani Rei responded with a smile, put the picnic basket on the table, took out the cookies and distributed them to the children: “Just bake them, try them.”

    Genta immediately picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, shouting vaguely that it was delicious, making everyone chuckle.

    Hui Yuan Ai picked up a cookie and bit it lightly, raised her eyes to look at Jiang Gu Ling, and nodded slightly.She has already completely adapted to Huihara Ai’s identity. She no longer studies dangerous drugs and only does interesting small experiments. She goes to and from school with her friends every day and smiles more and more.Fang Gu Ling looked at her, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. This child who had been burdened with too much finally ushered in the sunshine that belonged to her.

    “Is everything safe at the police station recently?” Akai Shuichi said softly, pouring him a cup of hot tea.

    “It’s very stable.” Rei Furitani took the teacup and leaned back in his chair. “There are no major cases, no urgent tasks, just daily small things like patrolling and mediating disputes. Such a down-to-earth life is better than anything else.” He turned to look at Takeru Sato and said in a sincere tone, “Mr. Sato is getting better and better recently, so that’s good.”

    Takeru Sato raised his eyes and glanced at him, then gave a slight “hmm” as a response.

    His current life is simple and regular: he takes a walk with Shuichi Akai in the morning, reads and writes during the day, occasionally sits with the doctor and the children, and spends quiet time with each other at night.There is no pursuit, no instructions, and no endless killing. Such dullness day after day is the best salvation for him.

    Akai Shuichi looked at the person beside him, his eyes full of tenderness.He watched clearly as Takeru Sato let go of the weight of the past little by little and merged into the bright world little by little, and he would always be by his side until this person completely forgot the darkness and only remembered the warmth of the world.

    While they were chatting, Kudo Shinichi came with Mao Lilan in hand. Xiaolan was carrying a box of homemade jelly with a gentle smile: “I passed by the park and the flowers were blooming just right, so I came over to see everyone.” Shinichi followed beside her, carefully helping her carry the bag, his eyes always falling on her, full of cherishment.The boy who once only cared about reasoning now only sees the girl next to him.

    There were gradually more people in the yard, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.Rei Fukitani and Shinichi chatted about trivial matters on the street, Xiaolan and the doctor were busy preparing tea, the young detective team chased and played in the courtyard, and Haibara Ai sat aside and watched quietly, with a faint smile on his lips.Akai Shuichi and Sato Takeru sit side by side, occasionally looking at each other, and they already understand each other without words.

    Jiang Guling looked at the warm and harmonious scene in front of him and sighed in his heart.He had struggled in the darkness countless times, missing his fallen comrades late at night, thinking that he would be trapped in loneliness and mission forever.But now, the darkness has completely dissipated, everyone is living well in the light, and everything he protects has the best ending.

    As the sun set, golden light filled the courtyard. Jiang Guling looked at the time, stood up and said goodbye: “I have to go back to work. I’ll come back next time I have a break.”

    “Be careful on the road.” Akai Hide nodded and warned.

    Sato Kenya gently raised his hand and said goodbye lightly.

    The evening breeze blows gently, the leaves rustle, and the laughter and laughter in the yard continue. There is no darkness, no pain, and no parting.

    The beginning of summer is approaching, and the warmth is as usual.

    When light falls in the world, everyone is living a good life, and every heart has found its own destination.
