Tokyo Police

v6 Chapter 27: a heavy price

"Senior Shenmu, can you enjoy a drink together in the evening?"

After getting the news that the Kuangdao police department was taken away by the police department, Lin Xiuyi returned to Sakurada Gate for the first time to understand the relevant situation. Lin Xiuyi knew that it was not the right time to go directly to the management officer of the Criminal Department to inquire about the origin of the matter, so she found the Shenmu Police Department with extensive experience and connections in the Metropolitan Police Department, and wanted to ask the Shenmu Police Department to inquire about the situation of Senior Sangdao.

"No problem, there's nothing to do at night anyway. By the way, I recently found a pretty good shop, the kind that I can't help but go for a drink when I think of it!" The Shenmu Police Department happily agreed to Lin Xiuyi's invitation.

After receiving the affirmative reply from the Shenmu Police Department, Lin Xiuyi's uneasy heart finally calmed down. But what can Lin Xiuyi do? People from the police department are so good at talking.

As soon as Lin Xiu put down the phone, he returned to his seat and continued to study the bottle of mascara found from Tomomi Yano's house.

"What's so weird about this thing? Why is it so hidden?"

Lin Xiuyi kept repeating these two questions in his mind. In fact, when he just got this bottle of mascara, Lin Xiuyi asked Miki to get in touch with people from Shiseido. The other party quickly found out that the purchaser of this bottle of mascara was a convenience store in Suginami Ward based on the product number. Because cosmetics have a strict traceability system, Lin Xiuyi can obtain the complete sales record of this bottle of mascara through the internal data of Shiseido and convenience stores.

According to information provided by Shiseido, this bottle of mascara is a specially packaged product for retail in convenience stores. The production date was confirmed as the March issue of last year. Immediately after three days, the bottle of mascara entered the sales network of the retail chain with the same batch of products. However, the feedback received from there indicated that the bottle of mascara was not sold normally, and it was counted in the loss.

The side also reported to the Metropolitan Police Department that the place where the bottle of mascara finally appeared was a convenience store in front of Kasai Kusei Park. If it wasn't for the incident of the Kuangdao Police Department, Lin Xiuyi and Miki would have visited this convenience store.

Now the work of the Sex Crime Investigation Department 2 has been suspended. Lin Xiuyi asked Aizawa and Hanagata to go back first and wait for the follow-up news of the assisted investigation announcement. On the Special Search Department's side, Miki continued to track down the information about this bottle of mascara.

After get off work, Lin Xiu said goodbye to Miki and went to the underground parking lot alone to meet with Senmu Shenmu. The two got into the car of Shenmu Police Department and went to the izakaya near Nihonbashi. ..

"You want to inquire about Sang Dao! I really didn't expect that Sang Dao would be in big trouble this time!"

The car went all the way along Uchibori Avenue to the east, then entered Yaesu Road and then northwards. It took about 20 minutes to arrive at Kodenma-cho near Nihonbashi. This area is a famous commercial street in central Tokyo, but unlike commercial districts such as Roppongi and Akasaka, the drinkers here are mainly office workers who work in large companies nearby. When Shenmu Police Department and Lin Xiuyi came here, the bustling Tokyo night market had not officially started.

"Welcome, are you two sitting at the counter or the booth!" Shenmu Police Department and Lin Xiuyi just walked into this izakaya called Yuhe Dojo, and the shopkeeper greeted them warmly.

"Sit in the front, it's more convenient when you order something!" The Shenmu Police Department asked Lin Xiuyi.

Lin Xiu nodded and agreed with the Shenmu Police Department's proposal. Then the two walked to the counter and took off their coats and hung them on the back of the chairs. The store offered them two glasses of water and two rolls of wet towels. Then they asked what they were going to eat.

"Bring me a salted cuttlefish viscera, what would you like, Mr. Xiuyi?" The Shenmu Police Department seemed to be a frequent visitor here.

"I want a cold tofu with bonito and chopped green onion!"

"These first, and two more beers!"

Since everything was cold and everyone was sitting at the counter, the dishes came out quickly. Lin Xiu raised a glass and invited the Shenmu Police Department to have a hard drink. The two drank half a glass of beer in one go before putting down the glass. Afterwards, they chatted about the Sangdao Police Department while eating snacks.

"Xiuichi-kun, you don't need to ask about Kuwashima. The security department came prepared this time, and Kuwashima is indeed responsible for the murder of Yano Tomomi. By the way, you are in charge of this case now. ?"

The Shenmu Police Department picked up a piece of cuttlefish viscera and put it in his mouth. The most important thing about this dish is the freshness of the ingredients, and the cooking skills are on the back burner. The Shenmu Police Department chewed it a few times, and then nodded with satisfaction. Then he said to the shopkeeper standing at the counter:

"If you want two skewers of grilled chicken with spring onion, please dip one more time in the sauce"

Hearing what Senior Shenmu said, Lin Xiuyi had no choice but to swallow what he had planned to say. He slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and helplessly raised his glass and took a sip of wine.

"I feel very sad, isn't it, this is something that we can't control at all. By the way, it is said that this supervisor Yuan Zhizhu is an elite bureaucrat just like you. Before being transferred to the police department's inspection section , he used to be the trump card of the three classes of public security"

After a glass of beer, the appetizers were also eaten. Lin Xiuyi ordered another grilled mackerel and grilled chicken thighs. The Shenmu Police Department asked for a salt-roasted beef tongue, and the two of them each asked for a cup of sake. After the store has prepared the dishes~lightnovelpub.net~ Lin Xiu always talked about the current progress of Yano Tomomi's case to the Shenmu Police Department.

"Senior, the only valuable clue I have found so far is a mascara found in Yano Tomomi's room! But before I could continue the investigation, I met Kuangdao-senpai who was taken away by the police department. things"

"Xiu Yi-kun, I know your talent best! It is a very wise choice for Sang Dao to ask you to deal with this case. So Xiu Yi-kun, if you can solve the case earlier, I think the pressure on Sang Dao will also be reduced. It will be smaller. However, I think Mulberry Island should not have the opportunity to stay in the Metropolitan Police Department. The best outcome should be to be forced to resign and be sent to the receiving unit!”

Senior Shenmu continued drinking and said to Lin Xiuyi in a low voice.

"Senior, how can it be so serious?" Lin Xiuyi really didn't expect such an outcome. The Sangdao Police Department is a good police officer who has been in the police for many years. In any case, he should not be treated like this.

"Xiu Yi-kun, if you still have the heart, please work hard together with Sang Dao's share!"

After Shenmu Police Department finished saying these words, he drank the sake in his glass with a solemn expression.
