"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
The next day.
When the livid-faced Sato mother was brought to the Metropolitan Police Department by her daughter, a police officer, to meet with the arrested Kano Shuji, the latter lowered his head in shame and made up for this apology that was eighteen years late. .
"Snapped!"
Sato's mother, who was silent, slapped Shikano Shuuji who was very close to him in the face with lightning speed.
The strength and loudness of the sound caused everyone in the temporary office area of the three departments to put down the work at hand and move around. Then they withdrew their gaze at the glance of Meng Mu Shisan and continued to pretend to be focused. to the task at hand.
"mom!"
Even though she also had unspeakable hatred for Kano Shuji in her heart, she still restrained herself in the end. Miwako could not help but widen her eyes when she saw this, and turned to look at her mother who seemed to have done nothing just now.
"Eighteen years, Shikano Shuji, you have lied to our mother and daughter for eighteen years! You have betrayed the trust that justice has placed in you, for eighteen years!"
Sato's mother, who has always shown a gentle image, was dressed in a traditional kimono, and her fierce questioning made everyone in the office area tremble.
"Mrs. Sato, my condolences."
As the head of the three departments, Mumu Shisan coughed slightly awkwardly, said a routine scene talk, and just brushed off the slap incident just now, treating it as nothing happened:
"All the bank cash lost in the [Chou Si Lang] case has been recovered. After investigation and testing by the police and the bank, it was confirmed that the money was robbed from the bank by the murderer of the [Chou Si Lang] case eighteen years ago. The group that left had conclusive evidence of their crimes.”
"...I'm sorry, Memu Police Department, I lost my temper."
Sato's mother, who was staring closely at Shikano Shuji, saw that this man did not dare to look up at her because of shame or other reasons. She took a deep breath and slowly calmed down, looking at Megure Thirteen as a standard. Bowed in thanks: "Thank you very much for preventing a just case from becoming an unsolved case."
"Ah, no, no, actually, it was Sato who notified me of this case, and she was the one who arrested the person."
As a boss who never takes credit, Megure Shisan hurriedly denied the credit that did not belong to him, and highlighted Miwako Sato as the one who actually arrested the prisoner.
The father is killed and the daughter arrests the real culprit.
This is the best ending both emotionally and rationally.
Of course, last night's overnight interrogation also let Mumu Shisan know who was the "mastermind" behind all this.
And just when his eyes drifted to Uehara Katsumi who was standing next to Shikano Shuuji, Sato's mother, who had finished thanking Mugurashi Thirteen, also took two steps forward, came to Uehara Katsuki, and gave another standard bow. Acknowledgments: "Thank you, Uehara."
"Auntie, we're so familiar with each other, so there's no need to be so polite." Uehara Katsumi, who wildly glared at his girlfriend but was ignored by the latter, had no choice but to accept the bow from his future mother-in-law.
"Don't be so nervous, Uehara." Sato's mother, who saw Katsumi Uehara's embarrassment, had a hint of satisfaction on her lips: "This is what I should do."
"..."
After Sato's mother was led by Megure Jusan to do some closing procedures regarding the case of Sato Masayoshi's death eighteen years ago, Uehara Katsumi breathed a sigh of relief and quietly came to his girlfriend's side. He crooked her forearm with his elbow: "Didn't you know to say a word to me just now? Did you mean to laugh at me?"
"Don't you understand my mother's temper even after playing mahjong with her so many times? Even I can't stop her from doing what she wants to do."
Watching her mother's leaving figure, Sato Miwako squinted at the figure next to her who seemed to be guilty of committing a crime: "Why are you so afraid of my mother all of a sudden? Didn't we have such a good relationship with her before that we recommended her to win the mahjong championship?"
"Then haven't I chased you before? I have confidence."
As a pig who has already picked cabbage at home, when faced with a creature like your mother-in-law who suddenly bows down to you and expresses her gratitude, you will instinctively feel guilty.
"Then let's break up first? To give you some confidence?" Miwako, who rarely saw her boyfriend like this, raised her eyebrows and said jokingly.
Katsuki Uehara tilted his head and responded with a smile, "I have no objection, but I think you should be reluctant to let go."
"So confident?"
"Of course, otherwise how could I catch you?"
After asking a rhetorical question, and without waiting for his girlfriend's response, Uehara Katsumi returned to his seat, crossed his legs and read the newly distributed newspaper.
A cup of tea, a cigarette, and a newspaper sit all day long.
Although he doesn't smoke, he still fully understands the energy in it.
Miwako, who had seen all this, stood there, shaking her head with a smile on her face, and walked back to her desk.
When Takagi hurriedly pushed the door in from the outside with a large cardboard box in his arms, Katsumi Uehara, who was startled, couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at him: "What are you doing, Takagi? Are you so anxious to get angry?"
"Isn't this a case we encountered before? The deceased was a rich man, so his family members were very angry about his death. The Megure Police Department is now temporarily back to handle the death case of Officer Masayoshi Sato eighteen years ago. These things I have to go through it all first.”
After returning to his seat, he took the tissue handed over by Chiba and wiped the sweat on his forehead, then Takagi pointed to the large cardboard box on the table.
After hearing this, Uehara Katsumi couldn't help but be startled, then his eyes fell on the newspaper at hand, turned it over and pointed at the front page headline above and asked: "This case?"
"Shocking!" The president of the Mihua Town IT Technology Company died tragically at home and was shot eighteen times! 》
A very cruel news headline, accompanied by a mosaic picture of the scene obtained from unknown sources and a photo of the deceased's face.
Takagi nodded: "Yes, this is the case."
The next second, he immediately noticed something was wrong - "Huh? Why was it reported to the newspaper? No, this case is confidential."
"Family, relatives, classmates and friends, or even partners of his company. There are too many sources of news about the death of the president of such a large company, and it is impossible to suppress them all, unless Takagi and the others solve the case on the spot. .”
Holding the coffee cup and blowing a breath, Shiratori, who was wearing a blue suit, commented: "Just like the Maori detectives in the past."
"Then I will be held accountable for dereliction of duty?"
Takagi lay on the table with his head in his hands, his eyes gradually losing their dreams.
"How is it possible? Just catch the murderer in the end."
Chiba, who was chewing potato chips, explained: "I was shot eighteen times in the body. I'm afraid he wasn't seeking revenge. He still had a big hatred, otherwise he wouldn't have vented his anger like this. This already falls into the category of corpse abuse. Along this line If you look in the direction, it should be easier to locate the murderer."
