I'm surrounded by women.

The head teacher said, and quickly took a bite of dried white radish to relieve the greasiness. Although he has been eating the meals cooked by his wife for so many years, every time he eats the grilled fish made by his wife, he still feels it is too salty!

"Yeah, if you calculate the time carefully, Xiaoyuan Ying should be going to high school after the spring break this year...

Time flies so fast. I remember the year when Xiaoyuanying started school was the year when Teacher Tanii just joined our Futaba Kindergarten, replacing the retired Teacher Yoshinaga and becoming the new teacher of the Sunflower Class.

At that time, Teacher Tanii was a very nervous new teacher, always worried that she wasn't doing her best. Now, many years have passed, and she is now a veteran teacher at Shuangye Kindergarten."

The principal's wife also said that after so many years, Mr. Tanii is still in charge of the Sunflower Class.

"At that time, it was really thanks to the care of the principal and other teachers, as well as the tolerance of the children. I always felt that I was not qualified for the job of a kindergarten teacher." Teacher Gu Jing said with gratitude.

I couldn't help but say with a touch of nostalgia, "I wonder how the first batch of kids I taught are doing? They should all be growing up well, right?"

Teacher Tanii was eating breakfast while chatting with the principal and his wife.

After finishing breakfast, I started to prepare to go to the kindergarten for a tour.

"Hello, is anyone here?"

A voice came from outside, and the headmaster hurried out. He originally thought it was a parent visiting the kindergarten during the holidays, but when he went out, he unexpectedly saw a police car parked at the kindergarten gate?!

"Ah? Why is there a police car?" The director's wife also felt very strange and hurriedly followed her husband out.

Teacher Gu Jing was also confused, but she was the only teacher on duty in the kindergarten, so she followed the principal and walked towards the police car.

A female detective standing outside the kindergarten showed her police handbook after seeing three teachers approaching:

"I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Junji Saeme from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division. Is Mr. Tanii here? I need to ask you something."

……

Teacher Tanii sat in the back seat of the police car, feeling very nervous. This was the first time in her life that she had ridden in a police car!

And just now, when I saw Sae Junji's police handbook, I saw that she was a police inspector at the Metropolitan Police Department?!

The Inspector of the First Investigation Division... for ordinary people, this is a name they only hear in TV dramas.

And he is so young. Although Mr. Tanii is not very familiar with the promotion system of the Japanese police, he is still very surprised after seeing such a young police captain. The Junji Saeme in front of him looks like he is less than 30 years old.

Can you become a police captain at such a young age?

Because there was no suitable place for interrogation at the moment, and there was no concrete evidence, Mr. Tanii could not be taken directly to the Metropolitan Police Department's interrogation room for questioning, so Saeme Junji chose to park the police car not far from the kindergarten and question Mr. Tanii in the back seat.

"Teacher Tanii, do you need to drink some water and take a rest first? Because I saw that you looked like you were still eating." Saeme Junji did not ask in a hurry, but handed a bottle of mineral water to Teacher Tanii and asked.

"No, I'm not too thirsty. But how did you know I was eating? You're at the kindergarten gate, so you shouldn't be able to see into the office."

"It's simple, because there's a grain of rice on your lips."

After hearing this, Mr. Gu Jing was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the rice grains from the corner of his mouth and said embarrassedly:

"I'm so sorry, I was in such a hurry to come out just now."

"It's okay. If anyone needs to apologize, it should be me. I'm really sorry for interrupting you this time. I'll try to finish the interrogation as soon as possible, provided you can cooperate with me."

"Um...excuse me, what exactly do you want to ask me?"

Teacher Tanii asked in confusion. When she was sitting in the police car with Junji Saeme just now, she had been thinking in her heart that neither she nor her family would do anything that would cause the detectives from the Investigation Section to come to their house.

Saeme Junji opened her mouth, still hesitant in her heart, but when she thought of what her father and mother said to her on her first day at the police academy, she made up her mind. She took a deep breath, slowly took out a few photos from her arms, and said at the same time:

"At 3 a.m. this morning, patrol police on the coast found a floating female corpse. She died at 2 p.m. yesterday. We found a high school student ID card in her arms and learned her name. We then went to her home to investigate. During this time, we found a diary in her bedroom that mentioned many people, and you were one of them."

As Saeme Junji spoke, he showed the deceased's photo to Mr. Tanii and said her name:

"The deceased's name was Yonezawa Sijing. She died of drowning, but the medical examiner found numerous syringe marks on her arms. After testing, it was confirmed that she had been forced to inject and ingest drugs. She also had bruises on her body from being beaten.

At the same time, after 2 p.m. when Yonezawa Tsukasa fell into the sea and died, her friend, Kakuta Serika, who went to the same kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school as her, also disappeared at 3 p.m. yesterday. Her family and high school teachers didn't know where she went, and Yonezawa Tsukasa was her only friend.

Such a coincidental disappearance also made Serika Kakuda a suspect.

She and Yonezawa Tsukiyoshi both seemed to have the habit of writing diaries and exchanging them with each other. Many people's names were also mentioned in their diaries. In order to find the whereabouts of Kakuta Serika and some clues to solve the case, we had to first find people to question according to the names that frequently appeared in the diaries.

Mr. Tanii, have you seen Kakuda Serika recently?

Chapter 123 They Are in Love

Facing the gaze of Saeme Junji, Teacher Tanii subconsciously lowered her head guiltily. She could feel her breathing becoming increasingly disordered due to nervousness.

"Okay, cut! Very good, we got this part of the shot right in one take. Thank you all for your hard work."

At this moment, the director, who was not far away, shouted into the intercom.

In an instant, the atmosphere, frozen in time, vanished, and Teacher Tanii breathed a long sigh of relief. This was her first time acting, and she had no prior experience in acting. She had only been cast as a guest actor at the request of a former student.

Fortunately, the film being shot this time is not a commercial movie, and the acting requirements are not very high. Instead, it is a public welfare short film against bullying, shot in cooperation between the Metropolitan Police Department and the film team. The whole film is only half an hour long.

"Thank you for your hard work. If the director had filmed that shot just now for just one second longer, I might have lost my composure. The director is really good at casting detectives. Could it be that they can't find the right actors to play police officers?"

After the filming was over, Saeme Junji finally relaxed. Like Mr. Tanii, this was her first time participating in a movie shoot, so you can imagine how nervous she was.

For Junji Saeme, the nervousness he felt while filming the movie was much stronger than the nervousness he felt when taking the exam at the police academy.

"I think you acted very well. The look in your eyes just now made me feel like I really became a suspect." Teacher Tanii said with a smile.

"Sorry, I just imagined you as the suspect in that scene."

"Is that so..." Teacher Tanii smiled helplessly after hearing this. She had never thought that after so many years as a kindergarten teacher, she would one day be looked at by the police with the same eyes as a suspect.

And he's a detective from the First Investigation Division!

After getting off the car, the director team and the two heroines of this movie also came over... Yes, the two heroines of this short film are Serika Kakuda and Tsukasa Yonezawa.

This is the first time they have used their certificates to participate in the filming of a movie.

"Teacher Tanii, Inspector Saemi, we just saw it through the camera in the car. The footage you two took was really great!" Yonezawa Tsukasa said with a grin. Although he had graduated from Futaba Kindergarten for many years, when he saw Teacher Tanii, he would still act like a child and act coquettishly and play around.

"Xiao Jing, come down quickly, don't you know that Mr. Gu Jing's waist is not in good condition?"

"Oh, I almost forgot!"

"I feel like Xiao Jing has become a fool since she started elementary school..."

"I'm not stupid! At least I can pass the math test with 60 points!" Yonezawa Sijing protested.

After hearing what Yonezawa Sijing said, Kakuta Serika couldn't help but smile. She also understood the implication of Yonezawa Sijing's words. He was talking about Katori Genzakura!

Katori Gensakura's "miraculous" mathematical talent was already evident in kindergarten. When she first came into contact with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, many students mastered it quickly, but Katori Gensakura was the only one who couldn't figure it out for a long time. A simple word problem could make Katori Gensakura dizzy.

After learning for the first time that Katori Genzakura also had things she was not good at, the kindergarten teachers wanted to celebrate with drums and gongs. But there was no other way, after all, Katori Genzakura's previous performance in the kindergarten was really not like that of a child!

It is not uncommon to see children with sensible personalities, but there is a child like Katori Genzakura who acts like a little adult. Not only Teacher Tanii, but even the principal of the kindergarten who has run it for so many years has never seen such a child.

So after knowing that Katori Gensakura was not good at mathematics, many kindergarten teachers couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts. Katori Gensakura finally had one thing she was not good at, and they could finally treat her as an ordinary child!

After all, if a child is good at everything and has a personality like that of a little adult, it is inevitable that some kindergarten teachers who like to read online novels will wonder in their hearts: Could Yuan Ying be a reincarnated person?

"If Yuan Ying heard what you said, she might not be angry with you. After all, she often makes fun of her math grades. But if Liu Ge heard it, she would definitely fight you to the death."

"After all, Xiao Liuge is a sister complex..."

Yonezawa Sijing smiled, and then said with some emotion:

"Come to think of it, it's been quite a while since I've seen Yuanying, Liuge, and Yili. I wonder how they're doing. I'm especially curious about Yili. I wonder if she's still clinging to little Yuanying like she was when they were little?

At that time, the daily routine was to watch Xiao Liuge and Xiao Yili fight for Xiao Yuanying, and Xiao Yuanying was always caught between her sister and her childhood sweetheart.

Huhuhuhu, I didn't understand it when I was little, but now that I've grown up, I realize that Xiao Yuanying has been a woman with a lot of sins since she was little~

In novels, girls who have been popular with girls since childhood often become scumbags and start a sweet and sour yuri love comedy!

"If I get a chance, I must find out the contact information of Genying and the others. I was too young at that time and always thought that keeping in touch meant going to the park together after school every day like before. We didn't know to leave each other contact information. As a result, now that we have graduated from kindergarten, we don't even know each other's contact information." Kakuda Serika said helplessly.

While Serika Kakuda and Tsukasa Yonezawa were chatting, the director had already put the salary in an envelope and handed it to Mr. Tanii.

After all, in this short film, Mr. Tanii's scenes have already been filmed.

The pay was not much, after all, it was a low-budget public welfare film. In addition, my role was just a small role, and I was not a professional actor, so the pay was naturally pitifully low.

But Teacher Tanii still felt very satisfied. He just came to the kindergarten to be on duty today. He used the time on duty and earned several thousand yen in remuneration with the permission of the principal. Why not?

With these few thousand yen in remuneration, at least I can go to the supermarket to buy some more ingredients and make a hearty dinner after get off work today.

When I was a child, I always fantasized about making a lot of money. But when I grew up and gradually accepted the reality that I couldn’t make a lot of money, the occasional small amount of money still made me feel satisfied.

"Okay, we've finished filming today. Thank you all for your hard work. We'll continue the day after tomorrow! Xiaoxiang and Xiaojing are still high school students, so let's try to get as many shots as possible before Golden Week ends."

"Then I'll be leaving first. I still have some things to deal with at the Metropolitan Police Department." Saime Junji said. Although he was selected into the actor list of this short film, it was only a part-time job. On weekdays, he still couldn't neglect his work at the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Okay, okay. Thank you for your cooperation, Inspector Zuomu."

"It's nothing, now that the mission has been assigned, I will do my best to complete it.

What's more, the prototype of the event in this movie had a profound impact on my mother. Because of the revenge murder caused by bullying, my mother voluntarily resigned from the Metropolitan Police Department and went to Shinjuku District to open a private detective agency.

My parents are looking forward to the film being completed, and that alone is enough to motivate me to work on it.”

After Zuome Junji finished speaking, he said goodbye and drove away in the police car.

"I didn't expect that Inspector Saeme's mother is also a detective in the First Investigation Division, and is also related to the events of the movie prototype?" Although she didn't say anything just now, Kakuta Serika, who had been listening, couldn't help but say something curiously.

"The word 'related' is simply not enough to describe the impact that incident had on Saeme Junji's mother. Her mother, Saeme Okumuro, knew that Kamikyu Masami, the murderer of Kanagawa Daini Private High School, had a strong hatred for the person who killed her girlfriend, Uehara Yoko, but she chose to turn a blind eye and let Kamikyu Masami complete her revenge.

Although from a normal person's perspective, killing the enemy would be considered a very satisfying thing, the outcome of that incident could not be described as satisfying in any way.

Two girls who loved each other, one was killed by a bully, and the other took revenge on the bully and became a murderer. In the end, when the police were not paying attention, she chose to die in the sea like her girlfriend and committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

What a pair of star-crossed lovers... Although I rarely suggest the idea of ​​fighting violence with violence when filming, if you put yourself in Kamikyu Masami's shoes, she really had no choice but to kill the bully with her own hands.

Even if we call the police, what will happen? Remember, the bully is also a minor. Under the "protection" of the Minors Protection Act, the bully who kills... no, the murderer, will not pay the price of life for murder. He may even be released after a few years in prison.

A bully who has premeditation and the ability to kill is still a murderer, even if he is a minor. However, because he is a minor, the evildoer never receives the punishment he deserves.

After Kamikyu Masami figured this out, she chose to pick up a sharp knife, suddenly appeared at Yoko Uehara's funeral, and personally killed the "minor murderer" who pretended to attend the funeral.

The police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department are more concerned with maintaining order than upholding justice, but Saeme Junji's mother is a person who pursues justice, so she chose not to control Kamikyu Masami in time, allowing Kamikyu Masami to go to the funeral with a knife and kill her enemy with her own hands.

After the incident, he took all the responsibility on himself and resigned from the Metropolitan Police Department.

The director explained to Kakuda Serika and the others while packing up the equipment.

"I really hope that the two of us can act out this story well."

Serika Kakuta sighed softly. When she read the prototype of the incident for the first time, she couldn't help but shed tears, because the role she played in the movie was to avenge her girlfriend. In the end, after making the bully pay the price with blood, she chose to jump into the sea to commit suicide.

When actors read a script, they always put themselves into the story. At that time, Kakuda Serika was thinking that if it was Yonezawa Tsuyoshi who was killed, she would probably make the same choice as Kamikyu Masami did back then.

……

After receiving today's remuneration, Serika Kakuda and Tsukasa Yonezawa did not leave in a hurry, but went back to Futaba Kindergarten first and chatted with Teacher Tanii and the principal for a while.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoxiang, Xiaojing, where are you two in high school now?" Teacher Tanii asked curiously.

"Ah... I, we go to a boarding high school, so we usually live in school and can only go home on Friday." Kakuda Serika said quickly, then looked at Yonezawa Tsuyoshi with some guilt.

"I didn't expect that you are studying in a boarding high school now. That must be very hard, right? Come to think of it, when I was in middle school, I never had the chance to live in a dormitory because all the middle schools I attended were day schools and they were very close to home. The only time I lived in a dormitory was when I was in college," said Teacher Tanii.

"It's, it's okay." Yonezawa Sijing said with a wry smile.

……

After saying goodbye to Teacher Tanii, Serika Kakuda and Tsukasa Yonezawa left Futaba Kindergarten and walked together... on the way home.

"When Mr. Tanii asked me this just now, I was really nervous. After all, I really don't know how to explain to Mr. Tanii that we are living together now." Kakuda Serika said helplessly.

"Yes, not to mention that we are not living together with the permission of both our parents.

To be precise, we are now eloping and living together secretly. I still remember how angry my parents were when I told them that I liked you.

But to be honest, my father is a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. When we decided to run away from home and elope, I found an extra envelope in the suitcase I had hidden. It was filled with cash and my ID card.

I quietly climbed out the window to leave the house and accidentally made a noise, which led to a look between me and my father who was in the living room downstairs. My father looked at me with a complicated expression, then pretended not to see it. After I left, I received a bank transfer text message on my mobile phone. It was from my father.

He also wrote a note: "Take good care of yourself outside. If you encounter any problems, call me immediately. I won't tell your mother."

Yonezawa Sijing said with a chuckle.

"Your father at least supports you, even if he doesn't say it. As for me... after I told my parents, I was immediately grounded.

But you are really amazing. Not only can you carry the suitcase and climb over the wall of your house, but you can also climb into our yard in one breath and then climb onto the balcony outside my bedroom. Xiaojing, you are not a monkey, are you? "

"Go away, you are the monkey. I just have a little talent for climbing."

As Yonezawa Sijing said this, he put his arm around Kakuda Serika.
