Shiratiao is not in a happy mood today.
Early in the morning, an old officer who had been promoted to the headquarters called and asked Shiratiao to rush to his office as soon as possible.
After arriving, the officer brought up the case of the disappearance of Koda Manami's wife, saying that someone reported the case to him and that the investigators had a poor attitude and low efficiency.
The chief gave some brief instructions, requiring that the matter must be fair and impartial, improve efficiency, and of course strictly follow legal procedures. Never bend the law for personal gain, let alone let any suspected criminal go.
Who is Shiratiao? He understood the voice of the officer’s words on the spot——
Someone must have found the chief to intercede for Koda.
Or, it could simply be that Koda himself has some unknown connection with the commander.
Shiratiao had no interest in knowing the inside story here, but the officer's instructions were really cryptic and clever. He not only conveyed his meaning to Shiratiao, but also left no clue at all.
Shiratori has been thinking about this matter since he left the headquarters building.
If Koda's wife disappeared because she ran away from home, or some other accident occurred, there would be no need to say hello.
Now that I've said hello, I'm afraid things won't be that simple...
To be honest, this old officer had a lot of kindness to Shiratiao in the past, so he went to find Shiratiao without going anywhere.
This is also the first time the old officer has asked Shiratori after he left the JA Police Station...it's really hard to shirk it.
After lingering at the entrance of the headquarters building for a long time, Shiratori finally made up his mind——
No matter what, let's call Gu Xing over first to find out more.
"hurry the breasts
Calling from somewhere deep in the soul,
いつも多でも梦をdraw（えが）こう
Painting dreams all the time..."
The cell phone rings——
Gu Xing saw the call reminder and quickly picked it up:
"Hey, good morning, Shiratori Police Department."
"Gu Xing, are you in the office?"
"Well……"
"Oh, I misjudged the time," Shiratiao said, "It's still far from the time to go to work. So, after you arrive at the police station later, come to my office first."
"Okay...what's the rush?"
"It's not convenient on the phone," Shiratiao said, "Anyway, come over and talk in detail."
"good!"
"Dong dong——"
The energetic knock on the door by the Holy Son made the two weirdos in the room tremble.
"do you know,"
The first words the Holy Son said when he knocked on the door——
"Sister Chiyo left Lidu last night...
Alas, really... I left yesterday and just called me to say goodbye this morning. "
There is regret in the look of the Holy Son,
"We also agreed to go to the foot bath teahouse to have fun together on the weekend..."
"That's it."
Gu Xing nodded.
"Are you too calm?"
Shengzi said: "A girl goes on a long trip in the middle of the night, during the same time period when a weird taxi appears everywhere. Just thinking about it makes me feel terrified."
Don’t worry about taxis.
"yes."
Listening to the words of the Holy Son, the scene when Chiyo left Lidu appeared in Gu Xing's mind——
On a starry night, on an empty and quiet road, Chiyo, who has no fear in her heart, rides on her lover's motorcycle, leaving the city full of memories and heading towards a new life.
This result is actually very good, and it must be what Ryuichi wants to see.
Gu Xing was looking forward to meeting Chiyo again one day in a certain city, on a certain street corner, when the spring flowers were blooming and the sun was shining brightly.
We can look at each other and smile, like long-lost old friends, walking into a roadside cafe together and chatting.
What a wonderful thing that would be.
Before leaving the house, Kita Eijiro presented a proposal for today's ungrateful story.
Proposals...well, proposals.
"Please,"
Gu Xing said: "I have something urgent to do today, so I can't care about reading anymore."
Kita Eijiro insisted on handing over his "Collection of Stories" and opened the latest chapter for Gu Xing.
Seeing that Gu Xing had no intention of taking it, Kita Eijiro poked the book forward again.
"Well……"
By the way, Eijirou is too persistent in wanting to punish the ungrateful.
Gu Xing had no choice but to take the book and close it.
"All right,"
He said helplessly: "Then wait until I get to the police station and see."
As long as you hold the book, you can get approval at the police station. To others, that book was just an ordinary script called "Speed of Life and Death", nothing serious.
"Dong dong——"
"Please come in!"
Bai Niao pointed to the sofa and motioned for Gu Xing to sit down first.
"I called you here early in the morning, mainly because I wanted to know more about the disappearance of Koda Manami's wife. How was your investigation yesterday?"
Looking at Gu Xing's expression, he seemed a little surprised as to why Bai Niao suddenly cared about this case, which was currently only classified as a missing case, but his expression quickly returned to normal:
"Well, Seiko and I made a special trip to Koda's house to investigate..."
…
"You mean," Shiratori's face darkened, "it's very possible that Koda murdered his wife?"
"No evidence, just speculation,"
Gu Xing said: "But his wife had been missing for two weeks, and the surveillance videos around her were all invalid, so he came to report the case. After that, he was not in a hurry at all and went fishing leisurely.
There are various signs that can be initially inferred that Haye is no longer alive, and Koda has disposed of the evidence. "
This case is indeed as Shiratiao thought, it is by no means as simple as an ordinary disappearance case.
In this kind of case, if the missing person has not been found and there is no evidence that someone killed the missing person, it is not difficult to finally judge it as a real disappearance. Not only Benzi Country, but also Lidu City had many such precedents in the past.
Moreover, this is in an era when weirdness is becoming more and more frequent. Disappearances are normal. Find some suspicious signs and then assign them to the weird case disappearance type. Shiratiao has also seen this kind of operation.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
But Shiratiao felt that it was just the same for others. In his own words, if he just gave up, his conscience would really not let him go.
He had solemnly sworn to Asahi Shadow to be a sharp sword to uphold justice and punish evil.
Will the sword be rusty before it is even unsheathed?
But if we insist on investigating, how can we explain it to the superior...those favors cannot be repaid casually.
Bai Niao thought for a long time and finally said:
"Since there is no evidence, it cannot be handled as a homicide. It is also difficult to approve a search warrant. It is best for you two to investigate secretly and find relevant clues as soon as possible. If the police force is not enough, I can send additional manpower.
But...if you still can't find the evidence in the end, then...report it to me as soon as possible. "
Back in the office, Gu Xing made a cup of coffee.
Open the latest chapter of "Eijiro Kita's Collection of Weird Taxi Stories".
He took a sip of coffee and looked down to see the name of the trigger person...
"puff--"
The coffee squirted out...
Koda Manami?
