Tokyo Police

v5 Chapter 17: Stone Bridge Specialty

"All property will be handed over to my wife. I will devote myself to the vast snowfields of Hokkaido. I don't need to care about my whereabouts. That's it! - Yasuo Hashimoto"

Lin Xiuyi used a pencil to lightly fill the letterhead, and under the illumination of the light, the indentation of the writing on the paper immediately appeared.

"What is this, a suicide note?" Kono Shohei sat in the tea room of Lin Xiu's first box, and said in a low voice in surprise.

"It looks like this!" Lin Xiuyi put down the letterhead and carefully clipped it in his notebook. The contents of this piece of paper convey important information, so the paper itself becomes important evidence.

"If it's a suicide note, I can say it without going out for a night!" Kono Shohei asked Lin Xiuyi.

"Then also look at the reason for his suicide. If he chose to kill himself because of the murder of Ms. Shiraishi Erika, the suspicion of Hashimoto Yasuo still cannot be ruled out!" Lin Xiuyi sighed silently in his heart, then got up and walked towards the door go outside.

"Where are you going?" Kono Shohei quickly asked when he saw Lin Xiu get up.

"There is the last suspect left, Mr. Ishibashi Heizo who lives in the ninth carriage. I'm going to visit him now!" Lin Xiu turned around and said to Kono Shohei.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you!" Kono Shohei quickly got up and chased after Lin Xiuyi.

"Kano-kun, this is your purpose!" Lin Xiuyi suddenly said to Shohei Kono with a smile on his face.

"Purpose? What purpose?" Kono asked in confusion.

"Approaching my purpose, maybe last night, Kono-kun mistakenly thought I was a friend of Mr. Ishibashi Heizo and came to say hello!" Lin Xiu said straightforwardly.

"Is this...sometimes...the police's ability to observe is really amazing!" Kono was suddenly a little embarrassed by Lin Xiu's seeing through his true thoughts. He laughed a few times, trying his best to resolve this kind of embarrassing.

"So, Kono-kun should know some information about Mr. Ishibashi Heizo. I wonder if you would like to provide it to me as a policeman?" Lin Xiuyi no longer circled around with Kono, and simply made a straightforward request.

Kono Shohei lowered his head, thought for a long time, and finally said to Lin Xiuyi:

"It seems that I really can't hide it from you. There are rumors that JR East's Ishibashi Heizo will serve as the Minister of Economic Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and participate in the Shinkansen cooperation plan between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and India. So..." Kono Xiangping whispered to Lin Xiuyi.

Lin Xiuyi immediately understood Kono's true purpose. It turned out that Kono came to the Cassiopeia train for this, no wonder! This kind of thing is worthless to Lin Xiuyi, a bureaucrat of the police system, but it is an opportunity for a bureaucrat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs like Kono to actively strive for it no matter what.

"Xiuichi-kun, if you can help me this time, I will deeply remember this favor in my heart!" Kono Shohei said pleadingly.

Lin Xiuyi was silent for a while, then replied to Shohei Kono: "As long as you don't violate my requirements, as for other things, I won't interfere too much!"

Although Lin Xiuyi didn't give a clear answer, Shohei Kono still understood what he meant. An excited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he followed closely behind Lin Xiuyi and walked to the No. 9 carriage together.

"Excuse me, what is Mr. Shiqiao doing now?" Lin Xiuyi came to the door of No. 9 carriage and asked the train staff standing at the door.

"Mr. Shiqiao has already informed us. If you are here, you can take you in directly. However, this gentleman is..." The train staff asked Kono Shohei behind Lin Xiuyi with some doubts.

"This is my fellow traveler, Kono-kun from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, can we go in together?" Lin Xiuyi said calmly.

"Ah, sorry, I was talking too much!" The train staff no longer asked Kono's identity, he turned around and opened the door of No. 9 carriage for Lin Xiuyi and Kono, then bowed to Lin Xiuyi and Kono, and The two let them into the box.

When Lin Xiuyi stepped into Box No. 9 for the first time, he had to marvel at the designer's imagination. There is no losing to, ah no, luxury beyond the top-level suite of a five-star hotel. Not to mention that the carpet is a high-end foreign product, even the surrounding walls of the carriage are wrapped with silk. Because it is located at the rear of the train, the rear of the train has completely become the exclusive viewing platform for No. 9 carriage. Lin Xiuyizhen I really want to know what it's like to live here.

"I heard that there was a terrible criminal case on the train, are you investigating now?" Ishibashi Heizou saw Lin Xiuichi and Kono Shohei who entered the door, and immediately asked about the case impatiently.

"Hey! But if there is no result when the train arrives in Aomori City, I plan to transfer the case to the Aomori Prefectural Police Headquarters!" Lin Xiu replied to Ishibashi Heizo.

"If, I'm asking you if I ask you to find the real prisoner before the train arrives in Aomori, can you do it?" Ishibashi Heizo suddenly stood up~lightnovelpub.net~ and walked in front of Lin Xiuyi, asked in a serious and low tone.

"I'm sorry, this kind of thing cannot be guaranteed!" Lin Xiuyi replied without hesitation. The work of solving a case sometimes depends on luck. Bold assumptions and careful verification are the guiding ideology of case handling. But sometimes, even the right path will suffer setbacks, so it is always the hardest multiple-choice question whether to continue the investigation or go back to the starting point and start over. Even Lin Xiuyi, who had been handling the case for many years, still dared not guarantee anyone that he could solve all cases. Even if it is a legend in the Japanese police world, Hiratsuka Hachibei, the former head of the first section of the search section of the Japanese criminal police, eventually lost his reputation in the 300 million yen robbery case.

"You must do it, don't drag this case until the train arrives in Aomori!" Ishibashi Heizao said emotionally to Lin Xiuyi in a commanding tone. When he said these words, he immediately realized that he had made a mistake. How could he talk to the police of the Metropolitan Police Department or a police department. The size of the other party is also a middle-level bureaucrat in the police world!

"I'm sorry, I'm being rude!" Ishibashi Heizo, who knew that he had lost his words, calmed down, and immediately bowed deeply to Lin Xiuyi, then said sincerely.

"But if you can't help, then today's Cassiopeia train will probably be the last Cassiopeia train..."
