Have You Confessed Your Love Today? Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Dongda

University of Tokyo School of Law.

There is still a faint yellow halo left in the sunset on the horizon. Dark gray clouds squeeze the living space of the sun, swallowing up the sunlight inch by inch, welcoming the arrival of the moon with a dark sky.

The windows of the university’s teaching buildings and office buildings were lit up one after another, and young and beautiful students were walking back and forth on the campus. Some were laughing, cursing, and fighting, and some were walking in a hurry and mumbling.

Akechi Kengo was walking around the campus, his suit jacket draped in his arms, and his outstanding appearance made the students who saw him whisper.

“So handsome. Why haven’t I seen him before? Is he a senior?”

“Could he be from our school? I really want to ask for his contact information.”

“Maybe it’s the new teaching assistant! He’s going in the direction of the office building.”

Wise and wise walked into the door of the office building unhurriedly, found the office he wanted to visit in the office building with familiarity, and knocked on the door.

“Professor Takahashi, I am Akechi.”

The door of the office opened from the inside. A middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, gray hair and a serious face immediately showed an amiable smile when he saw Akechi Genwu: “Akechi, it’s been a long time no see. Come in and sit down.”

“Professor Takahashi, long time no see.” Kengo Akechi greeted his former professor politely and walked into the office he had visited many times during his student days.

As the owner of the office, Professor Takahashi poured two glasses of water and handed one to Akechi Kengo.

Mingzhi Jianwu took the water glass and thanked him politely.He sat on the sofa with Professor Takahashi.

Professor Takahashi looked at Akechi Akechi, his tone full of pride: “I heard you have returned to the Metropolitan Police Department.”

Mingzhi Jianwu nodded: “Yes, I was transferred back at the beginning of this year.”

“Okay! The thirty-five-year-old Chief of the First Investigation Section…” Professor Takahashi smiled meaningfully, “In exactly four years, Director Odagiri will retire.”

Akechi Kenwu said: “It’s too early to say what will happen in four years.”

“It should be easy for you.” Professor Takahashi was very confident in this student. “What’s the reason for coming to me this time?”

“During the Chinese New Year, I heard that Gao Ming was injured, so I went to visit him.” Mingzhi Jianwu said with a smile, “Recalling our long-lost college career, I happened to be free recently, so I came to visit you specially.”

“Izuku…” Professor Takahashi said regretfully, “Is he still working as a prefectural police officer in Nagano?”

“Yes, he is still working at the Nagano Prefectural Police Station.” Kengo Akechi took a sip of water, “I went to check it out. He is now a good partner, and the two of them work well together.”

“Hmph! What’s the point of being a county police officer?!” Professor Takahashi puffed his beard and glared, and said sadly, “The two most outstanding students in your class actually became police officers. It’s such a waste!”

He has obviously been dissatisfied for a long time: “Zhu Fu is still unwilling to take the professional group exam. If he had entered a law firm, now…”

Mingzhi Jianyu pushed up his glasses: “Gao Ming likes to solve cases on the front line, and I’m not used to handling documents in the office now.”

Professor Takahashi looked at him helplessly: “You have been like this since you became a police officer. Haven’t you adapted to it after so many years?”

Akechi Kengo said: “I also like the feeling of solving crimes on the front line. Even Minister Odagiri can go to the front line occasionally.”

“You…” Professor Takahashi shook his head. He could never control this talented student anyway. “If you, the section chief, go to the scene, will your subordinates still have the heart to solve the case?”

Akechi said matter-of-factly: “If they are unable to perform their duties because of the presence of me, the section chief, it only proves that they are not qualified police officers.”

“…You should find someone to take care of you.” Professor Takahashi was speechless and had to change the subject, “Valentine’s Day will be in a few days. Akechi, do you have anyone you can spend the holiday with?”

“I haven’t met anyone with whom I can spend Valentine’s Day yet,” Kengo Akechi said jokingly, “and the Metropolitan Police Department won’t have a holiday on Valentine’s Day either.”

Professor Takahashi said: “You know you are busy with work, so don’t delay your life-long events.”

Wise and wise said: “I haven’t met anyone I like, so I’d rather be short of it than in vain.”

Professor Takahashi said with emotion: “You were like this when you were in school. The person closest to you at that time was Morofu. All the girls in our college surrounded you two, but neither of you were in love.”

“The university days were more than ten years ago.” Mingzhi Jianwu said as if he suddenly remembered, “My brother Gao Ming is also your student, right?”

“Yes, Zhufu… Jingguang’s grades were also very good at that time.” Professor Takahashi changed his tune because there were two Zhufu, and said sadly, “The two brothers are very similar, not only in their serious study attitude, but also in their preference for reasoning, or their future plans.”

“So what about the perspective of making friends?” Mingzhi Jianwu asked jokingly, “I remember that Jingguang also had a good friend, who was blond and dark-skinned, named…”

“You mean Fang Gu!” Professor Takahashi’s eyes lit up when he talked about him. “Fang Gu was just like Gao Ming at that time, with very good grades and always ranked first in the grade.” He said with regret on his face, “Then they went to the police academy together, but now there is no news.”

After saying that, Professor Takahashi glared at Kengo Akechi, as if his protégés were influenced by him to go to the police academy again and again.

Jianggu, Mingzhi Jianwu thought about this surname, and said calmly: “I was not the one who instigated Gao Ming to go to the police academy. You can’t blame me for what happened to Jingguang and that Mr. Jianggu.”

“Hmph!” Professor Takahashi said dissatisfiedly, “You students… don’t know the charm of being a police officer, so you are forced to do it one by one! Beichuan showed off to me two days ago that one of his students has opened an independent law firm.”

“You can tell him that your students are on guard.” Mingzhi Jianwu comforted him.

Professor Takahashi sighed and said melancholy: “If you had gone to the prosecutor’s office…”

“I have no interest in the prosecutor’s office.” Akechi Kengo said, “If I hadn’t been a police officer, I would probably be a detective now.”

“Detective is a very prestigious profession now.” Professor Takahashi thought for a while, “Your concubine’s husband seems to be a very famous detective now. What is his name… Kogoro?”

“Moori Kogoro, used to be a detective in the Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department.” Kengo Akechi said, “I just met him a few days ago. He is very famous as a detective, and some people come to him to learn from him.”

Professor Takahashi said vigilantly: “Don’t think of resigning to become a detective. Those detectives look glamorous, but most of them are just hanging around.”

Akechi Kengo said slowly: “Don’t worry. If I want to be a detective, your current student will not be the youngest class leader in the history of the Search Class, but the most famous detective.”

Kengo Akechi chatted with Professor Takahashi for a few more words, then said goodbye and went home as the night got darker.

He recalled his meeting with Toru Amuro at the Poirot Cafe a few days ago. The silvery light of the moon was reflected on the lenses of his glasses.

Kengo Akechi was sitting on the sofa in Poirot Cafe, looking at Toru Amuro with his keen eyes: “Amuro-kun, have we met somewhere?”

“Is there any?” Toru Amuro put the food ordered by Kengo Akechi in front of him and said with a smile, “If I have ever seen a person like Mr. Akechi, I will never forget him.”

“We heard Xiaolan and Conan talking about you.” Azusa Enomoto said with bright eyes, “Are you here to see Mr. Mori?”

“No, I’m here to taste the famous Poirot signature sandwich.” Kengo Akechi withdrew his gaze from Toru Amuro’s face. What came to mind was a scene in college when he met Morofushi Takaaki and passed by two boys wearing Gakuran school uniforms.

Akechi Kenwu, who was in his early twenties, noticed the same pair of blue eyes as Zhu Fu Gaoming’s and paid extra attention.

He walked into the coffee shop he had made an appointment with Zhu Fu Gaoming and said to Zhu Fu Gaoming, “Is that your brother Jing Guang?”

Zhu Fu Gaoming still had a smile on his face: “Is it obvious?”

“Your eyes are so similar.” Akechi Kengo teased, “Why can your brother bring friends, but I have to wait until your party is over before showing up?”

“Jianwu.” Zhu Fu Gaoming, who was also in his early twenties, couldn’t laugh or cry.
