"I'm really not robbing, I'm borrowing, borrowing!"
Yueying Island Police Station, Office.
Katsuki Uehara, who came to the police station to return the car, emphasized the nature of the matter again and again, saying that he was not robbing the islanders of a needle or thread.
"The incident happened suddenly, and there were so many people trying to arrest me. I couldn't sit still and wait for death. If the situation was urgent, I could only borrow it for a while. I remember I told the old man that I would pay him back, okay? I just came to pay him back. Is the car ready?"
Aso, who pursed his lips and suppressed a smile, sat on a chair nearby and tried to practice facial expression management. Katsumi Uehara, who faced the old policeman at his desk, was still arguing for his previous actions.
How can an act that was notified in advance be called robbery?
Besides, he's a policeman.
The old police officer, who was basically retiring at the Moon Shadow Island Police Station and waiting for retirement, had helplessness in his eyes: "Uehara-kun, although I don't know what case you came to Moon Shadow Island to investigate, but can you not tell the truth? Made it so big?
"I won't even mention borrowing bicycles. Do you know how many police calls I received from islanders this morning?"
Are all the police from a big city like Tokyo so tolerant?
Originally, they wanted to open a backdoor to form a good relationship because they were all colleagues, but Katsumi Uehara's behavior of using chicken feathers as arrows was a bit unscrupulous.
He said that he would definitely help with the investigation, and he was the one who helped find the piano sheet that Kei Aso left twenty-two years ago. But who would have thought that Uehara Katsumi could stir up a lot of islanders to such an extent that even the elderly him could not live in peace.
"Relax, Sai-senpai. This is the last time. I have obtained the strongest evidence. The next step is to notify the Metropolitan Police Department to close the net."
Uehara Katsuki, who no longer dwelled on the things he had committed but began to paint a pie for the seniors, said calmly: "Strictly speaking, this case would have been impossible to complete without your help, Senior Saii." Yes, the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely write your name in the merit book, senior."
Due to his education and background, the veteran policeman who has been working at Yueying Island Police Station for most of his life immediately pushed up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose when he heard this. The slightly reflective lenses obscured his eyes: "Uehara Jun, I am almost retired, so I don’t care about these things.”
"This is a big case with a lot of implications. If it is solved, there will definitely be a reward, which is huge."
"Uehara-kun, just go ahead and do it. I will handle the police calls from the islanders. Fighting crime is the duty of our police. I understand this."
"No problem, I won't let you down, Sai-senpai."
Two generations of police officers, one old and one young, reached a consensus with their yearning for the word justice. The strong handshake made Aso Michiru's eyes twitch.
Why hadn't he discovered this side of the old police officer from Moon Shadow Island before?
After transferring the borrowed bicycle to the police station and paying a compensation for the harpoon, Uehara Katsumi took Aso Minoru and left through the back door of the police station.
"Is this what you call a thorough infiltration plan?"
"Isn't it thorough? Just ask you if you have the account book."
Aso couldn't help but rolled his eyes after being choked back: "What's next? Do you want to do the same thing again?"
There were three ledgers recording drug transactions, one of which had been obtained by Uehara Katsumi before, and one was in his hands now, so there was only the last one left.
"It's not necessary. This man named Ken Nishimoto has been autistic two years ago. I think you should know this better than me." Katsumi Uehara shook his head, looking up at the sky with a somewhat sad tone.
The four people who burned Keiji Aso, his wife, and daughter alive twelve years ago, one was frightened to death by heart paralysis after seeing Aso who reported his identity, and the other is now suffering from a mental illness that has serious mental problems. The patient, probably got retribution.
Of course, there are two people with strong psychological qualities who are still alive and kicking - the capitalist Hideo Kawashima and the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji who are competing for the position of the next village chief on the island.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji's account book is in his hands, and Kawashima Hideo's account book has also been obtained by Aso. Next, it's time for the police to show up.
"You have also seen the configuration of the Yueying Island Police Station. If we just rely on the old police officer, we will not be able to arrest people." Hearing this, Aso stopped and looked at the determined man with a little anticipation. Friends.
"I know, so luckily Tsukikage Island is still within Tokyo and is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department." Katsuki Uehara reached for his cell phone from his trouser pocket and pressed the redial button without even looking at it.
"Ring ring ring!!!"
Tokyo, Metropolitan Police Department.
In the office area of the Third Department of Violent Crimes of the Search Section 1, the woman who was sitting in her seat and immersed herself in writing a case report frowned slightly and took out her vibrating mobile phone from her pocket——
"Uehara, it's too late for you to come back now. The Megure Police Department has already gone to the amusement park to deal with the murder case."
Pressing the answer button, the woman's tone was a little helpless: "I tried my best, but Shiratori went to take charge of another murder case, so the Megure Police Department wanted to take you to the crime scene, but it turned out that you were not there."
"..."
What came out was a piece of bad news that immediately silenced Katsumi Uehara.
What the hell is Shiratiao going to take charge of another murder case?
Didn't this rich second generation always follow the Memu Police Department to learn how to work? !
Are there so many murders happening in Tokyo at this time? !
Rubbing his brows in distress, Uehara Katsumi adjusted his emotions and spoke with a shocking words: "Sato, save me!"
"How can I save you? You misremembered your work hours and got caught."
Miwako Sato, who was leaning on the back of the seat, was spinning the ballpoint pen in her hand, with a tone of resentment in her voice: "If you had listened to my words earlier, you wouldn't be like this now."
After all, she is also the first pure newcomer she has led. Miwako Sato is still very serious and responsible.
It's a pity that after the novice period ended, Uehara Katsumi proved with practical actions that he was a master of paid fishing. At a young age, he became as experienced as the middle-aged bastard policeman in the Metropolitan Police Department. .
As the manager of the three investigation departments, Mumu Shisan is usually easy to talk to, with a round face and an amiable smile. But if you are caught by him in the fishing scene, don't blame this Showa man who used to save JK with his life and dreams of returning to the top. This time, it can only be said that it is impossible to save him.
"Actually, there is a reason for this, Senior Sato. The reason why I can't go back to Tokyo is because I am deeply involved in a huge drug trafficking and murder case. I am currently trapped on Moon Shadow Island and cannot escape."
Katsumi Uehara took a deep breath and raised his hand to signal Aso to be silent. He raised his voice and said in an unprecedented solemn tone: "This is probably my last phone call with you."
——? !
"Moon Shadow Island? Aren't you on vacation? What's going on Uehara?!"
Miwako Sato, who smelled a sense of crisis, noticed something was wrong and asked in a serious voice: "This is not a joke, Uehara, I -"
"Listen Sato, I don't have much time."
While interrupting Miwako Sato's words, Katsuki Uehara's voice gradually took on a hint of melancholy: "There is a transnational drug trafficking organization on Moon Shadow Island. The leaders of the organization are the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji, the capitalist Hideo Kawashima and the superficial Jobless homeless man Takeshi Nishimoto.
"I got the ledgers of their drug trade on the island for more than ten years. Do you understand what I mean?"
"?!!!"
Miwako Sato's eyes widened suddenly, she held her phone and shouted: "Don't be impulsive, find a place to hide, do you hear me clearly?! I will bring someone over to rescue you right away!"
"Sato, I——"
"Shut up! You won't die! If you have anything to say, come back and tell me!"
The strong uneasiness surged into her heart again, Miwako Sato hung up the phone directly, gritted her teeth and rushed out of the third department office area immediately.
On Moon Shadow Island, Aso Minoru watched his friend hang up the call for help, and raised his head helplessly: "...Is it really okay for you to lie to your colleagues like this?"
"I'm not lying, I'm just preparing for a rainy day. You should also know how dark the hearts of those who dare to sell drugs are."
Katsuki Uehara, who had no hint of amusement on his face, put his cell phone in his pocket: "The disappearance of the account book can't be hidden for a long time. Maybe this will really be the last time I make a phone call."
In the original time and space, the reason why Aso Minoru was able to kill people was because no one thought that he was actually a man disguised as a woman. Approaching the three victims with a weak appearance would not cause them to be wary at all.
But now, what needs to be exposed is the drug trading network that is enough to trigger their crazy counterattack.
