"Welcome! Are you alone?"

"Do not!"

...

When Lin Xiuyi came to a tavern located in the Platinum Takanawa as agreed, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yuan Zhizhu sitting at the bar not far away and waving to him. Seeing that the person he wanted to see had arrived, Lin Xiuyi went straight to the seat beside Yuan Zhizhu and sat down.

"I'm so sorry to ask you out at this time!"

Yuan Zhizhu drank the sake to himself, and whispered to Lin Xiuyi in a low voice without looking back.

"Nothing, anyway... I can't do anything now!"

Lin Xiu answered disheartenedly, and then ordered the same meal as Yuan Zhizhu. When the store owner asked about Lin Xiuyi's preferences, he turned around and left. Yuan Zhizhu then whispered to Lin Xiuyi in a low voice:

"Do you remember what you asked me to investigate for you earlier?"

"Eh?"

"Regarding the household registration information of Sakurai Saori, in addition to the Shinjuku Office's review of the relevant data recently, the Public Security Section 3 has also investigated the woman."

As soon as Yuan Zhizhu finished speaking, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and quietly placed it on the table. Then he stood up and said to the boss:

"Bill, please!"

...

When Lin Xiuyi brought the USB flash drive back to his residence, as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to insert the USB flash drive into his computer. Soon, Lin Xiuyi saw that he had left the USB flash drive file in .

"Three lessons of public security..."

"It was planned in advance..."

...

After Lin Xiuyi carefully read the files in the USB flash drive, he leaned against the back of the chair habitually, but at this moment his eyes suddenly focused on the pottery bowl that Kuroda Akio gave him.

"Pottery bowl?"

As soon as Lin Xiu saw the pottery bowl, he stretched out his hand curiously and took the pottery bowl from the bookshelf.

This is a tea bowl used for the tea ceremony. The shape is simple and elegant. To be honest, Lin Xiu is not very familiar with pottery. So he couldn't see what was so good about this pottery bowl. Ever since Lin Xiuyi received this pottery bowl from Akio Kuroda, he has kept it at home. Today, it was the first time that Lin Xiuyi had seriously checked this pottery bowl. I saw him turn on the lamp on his desk, and then looked at the pottery bowl seriously with the help of the lamp's light.

"It seems that some places are thicker and some places are thinner. Could it be... Was it made like this on purpose?"

Lin Xiuyi put the pottery bowl under the table lamp with some curiosity, and soon the weak light of the table lamp shined on the table through the thinner part of the pottery bowl. At this moment... a strange pattern suddenly caught Lin Xiuyi's attention.

"This is... wind... furu... key?"

"Furo, the key?"

...

Suddenly seeing the last message left by Akio Kuroda, Lin Xiuyi stood up from his chair in surprise.

"Furu, key? Furu's key? Could it be that... these important things are kept in a locker in a certain bathhouse?"

As soon as Lin Xiu thought of this, his already disheartened mood couldn't help but get a little excited.

"Could it be that... Kuroda Shoji has other important things hidden in the lockers of the bathhouses? But...there are so many bathhouses in Tokyo, if there are such things, where would they be hidden?"

Lin Xiu thought for a while, then put the bowl on the lamp again, and checked it carefully, but unfortunately, no matter how carefully Lin Xiu checked, he couldn't find more on the bowl. clue. But... just the meaning of the few hiragana names left on the pottery bowl was enough to make Lin Xiuyi feel very shocked.

"Ah... I really don't know if the public security people have found this clue now. If those guys knew about it, this case would be really troublesome!"

As soon as Lin Xiu thought of this, he hesitantly picked up the phone by his hand. At this moment, he realized that it was already late at night. Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but flinch and put the phone back.

"Forget it, it's all for work, and now the situation is urgent, so... there should be no problem!"

Lin Xiuyi thought of this, and then he picked up the phone again and found Jingzi's number.

"Moses Moses?"

Hearing the slightly lazy voice on the phone, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but... After hesitating for a while, he mustered up his courage and said to Jingzi:

"Officer...that...there is something important I want to ask you in person, I don't know...you!"

"Eh? Now?"

"Hey! I'm really sorry, I'm still contacting you at this time, and I'm bothering you!"

"It doesn't matter, that...you can come here yourself, you don't seem to have been here at my address in Hanzomon yet!"

"Hey! But...I think I should be fine, so...can I go over now?"

"Well... give me a call when you arrive, I'll be waiting for you outside!"

...

Taking into account the seriousness of the problem, Lin Xiuyi felt that it would be better to report this matter to Jingzi. So he picked up the pottery bowl and hurriedly left the house.

When Lin Xiu drove all night to Jingzi's official residence in Hanzomen, as soon as he got off the car, Lin Xiuyi saw Jingzi standing in the cold wind waiting for his arrival. When Lin Xiu saw this, he quickly parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car, and bowed to Jing Zi.

"I'm so sorry~lightnovelpub.net~ I'm here to disturb you so late..."

"No... I should be the one who should say sorry... In fact... I also have some things I want to tell you... Since things have come to this point, I think... I'd better choose to confess to you! "

"Eh?"

Hearing Jing Zi suddenly say these strange words. Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little surprised. But... Jingzi just gave him a salute, then stretched out his hand to invite Lin Xiuyi into the house. When Lin Xiu saw this, he hurriedly returned the salute, and then followed behind Jing Zi and walked into his new home for the first time.

As a senior bureaucrat of the National Police Agency, Keiko's current residence is an official residence provided by the government. When Lin Xiuyi entered this inconspicuous two-story building cautiously, he saw that many items in the house seemed to have been packed in cardboard boxes of the moving company. Seeing this situation, Lin Xiuyi asked in surprise:

"Officer, you are..."

"I'm really sorry, I just heard that the Public Security Committee has decided on a new candidate for the Chief Cabinet Secretary. If nothing else happens, I may have to resign as Chief Cabinet Secretary Fu (an idle position without any rights) after a while."
