Twenty minutes later, the Metropolitan Police Department.
Compared with the bustle in the morning, in the huge search section 1 office, only some passers-by and Chiba Kazunobu were left.
At this time, the overweight detective was sitting at his desk, holding a burger in one hand and pressing the phone skillfully with the other, as if he was sending emails to someone.
Ye Gengyi and Gao Mushe walked to the table.
The latter knocked on the table with his fingers and said doubtfully:
"Officer Chiba, where are the Megure Police Department and the others?"
"Hey, you're back..." Chiba Kazuno looked up and said, "Megure Police Department and Officer Shiratori went to the hospital."
"Hospital?!" Takagi Wataru was shocked: "What happened?"
"No la……"
Chiba waved his hand, took another bite of the burger, and said vaguely:
"Administrator Matsumoto was going to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate today. He didn't want to trouble us, so he didn't call. However, the hospital still contacted the police department, and then Megure Police Department and Officer Shiratori went there on our behalf."
"So that's it," Takagi Wataru was speechless: "No wonder you can still eat hamburgers leisurely here."
"There is nothing I can do. With the management officer's temper, I will definitely be scolded if I also go to the hospital to visit..."
Chiba took a few bites and stuffed the burger into his mouth:
"By the way, Mr. Takagi and Ye, it's almost noon anyway, why don't we go out to eat something. I just have something to tell you."
"Then what were you doing just now?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"You mean this?"
Chiba and Nobu thought Ye Gengyi was asking who he was sending emails to, so he smiled and whispered:
"This is what I want to tell you later."
"No, I think what Mr. Ye means is, why do you still go to lunch when you've already eaten a hamburger?"
Takagi Wataru helped translate.
"Well……"
Chiba and Shin's expression froze, and he scratched his head in embarrassment:
"This is just a snack. How can you be full if you only eat this?"
You must get along well with Yuan Tai... Ye Geng glanced at the time.
It will be noon in about half an hour.
Fortunately, they are not Officer Shiratori, so they will not go to that kind of Western restaurant that wastes time for lunch.
By the way, let’s ask about the list of suspects who attended the meeting.
At this time, Takagi Wataru placed the cowhide bag at his work station and whispered casually:
"Um...how come you haven't seen Officer Sato?"
"Police Officer Yumi came to look for her before. The two of them seemed to have gone out..."
Chiba and Shin came over and lowered their voices:
"Oh, I'm doing this for your own good, because it's not convenient for her to know about that."
Is it inappropriate for Officer Sato to know?
So what is it...
Takagi Wataru looked confused, but he still couldn't resist Chiba and Nobu's tugging, so he had to go to a restaurant near the Metropolitan Police Department.
…
"Huh? A list of suspects in the shooting?"
As soon as the three of them sat down, Ye Gengyi made it clear what his purpose was.
Looking at Chiba and Nobu, I don't know whether they are confused or confused.
He continued:
"Yes, I collected some information with Officer Takagi in the morning. I heard that you and Officer Shiratori were investigating this case. I want to screen and identify the suspect as soon as possible."
"We are still sorting out that."
Chiba Kazunobu explained:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I can understand your concern for Detective Maori. Officer Shiratori and I are indeed in charge of this part of the case, but the priority files that need to be sorted and transferred are still those murder cases. Don't worry! As long as We have identified the suspect and will definitely let you know."
Well, it seems that the shooting case is really insignificant to Yoneka Town, where people die every day. No wonder Gin and the others are always so arrogant in doing things. After all, as long as they are handled cleanly, the Metropolitan Police Department Unless you catch up, you won't have time to investigate.
That's a good thing... Ye Gengyi wanted to understand the key and said softly: "Hmm":
"Then I'll trouble you."
"No, and I also have something to ask of Mr. Ye and Officer Takagi."
Chiba and Nobu turned around and said:
"The content is about tonight's social gathering..."
"Friendship?!"
The sudden change of topic made Takagi Wataru almost suspect that he had heard wrongly.
It seems that apart from participating in several similar activities symbolically in school, this is probably the first time since I entered society!
No, I must not betray Miss Sato!
A certain police officer in a gray suit thought of this, looked at Chiba and Nobu, and refused:
"No, I won't participate!"
"Hey, why did you refuse so bluntly? It's not like I really want you to do anything..."
Chiba Kazunobu explained:
"Actually, it's a friend of mine from middle school. His sister is a stay-at-home mom, and she's almost 30 years old and hasn't been in a relationship yet, so he specially planned this party, but it seems there was something wrong with the invitation. The girl There are too many children, so he specifically asked me to find a few friends to go with him, just to balance the number of people..."
As he spoke, he took out five hospitality coupons:
"He sent this this morning. Counting the three of us, we can invite two more people. That restaurant was recently opened. I heard that the chef is a three-star Michelin chef. Even if we just go to try it You will definitely not suffer from the taste!”
"But……"
Takagi Wataru was still a little hesitant:
"Wouldn't it be nice to just go eat and drink."
"Originally, we were just gathering people. What does it matter? My friend won't mind this..."
Chiba Kazushi looked at Ye Gengyi:
"Besides, Mr. Ye is so young, handsome, and not married yet, so he will definitely be very popular by then!"
"Sorry, I personally don't like lively situations."
Ye Gengyi refused.
He doesn't have any psychological barriers to eating and drinking, but he has no clear purpose and meets a table with a clear purpose, but he doesn't even know Planck's constant, Bohr's atomic model, the principle of complementarity, wave-particle duality, uncertainty theory, and probability. It is a waste of time to chat with people who don’t understand the theory or incompatibility principle.
Of course, if Chiba and Shinkatsuyuki were moved by reason and emotion, and planned to morally kidnap themselves by providing information to investigate and participate in the meeting... That would be really embarrassing, because his moral bottom line fluctuates greatly.
"Since Mr. Ye won't go, then I won't go either..."
On the side, Takagi Wataru also took the opportunity to reject the invitation:
"Chiba, there are so many bachelors in our Metropolitan Police Department. As long as you tell them about this in the afternoon, it should be easy for four people to gather them together."
"Please! We are going to socialize, not to arrest suspects. How can we ask those vicious guys to go!"
Chiba Kazunobu commented on the looks of the detectives without hesitation, and was recognized by Takagi Wataru:
"Uh...what you said seems to make sense."
"right."
Chiba Kashin solemnly said:
"Takagi, I seem to have never asked you, right? Can't you help me this time?"
"Do you want to be so serious..."
Takagi Sheba sweated, and then guessed:
"Could it be that there is a girl you like in the sorority?"
"No no."
Chiba Kazunobu waved his hands very simply and explained straightforwardly:
"I really want to go to that restaurant to have a try. This time they held an event and gave out a lot of coupons. If it had been in the first few days since it opened, we wouldn't have been able to make a reservation even if we wanted to go there. of!"
"Even if you say so..."
Takagi Wataru was a little shaken.
Because the key to the problem is not the friendship, but Officer Sato... If she knew about this, she would be in trouble.
unless……
Takagi Wataru thought of a compromise plan and said directly:
"If Mr. Ye goes, then I will go too."
That's right!
If Officer Sato knew about going to eat delicious food with Chiba, it would still be difficult to explain clearly, but what if I went with Mr. Ye?
With personality, a high IQ, and most importantly, good looks, even if Officer Sato knew about it, there would definitely be no misunderstanding that he had ulterior motives for participating in the party!
...However, why do I feel that this reason hurts my self-esteem.
