Dinner without Conan went very smoothly, not to mention the murder. From the road to the restaurant and back home, there wasn't even a single quarrel in the Yoneka Town neighborhood that Sotakuya passed by.
Sotakuya himself was wondering, how did such a quiet and peaceful place become an area with the highest crime rate in Japan?
The atmosphere of the dinner was very good, and Qiuting Reiko did not refuse Sotakuya's call to her Reiko. In Japan, this kind of intimate term is usually used by very close friends or family members.
Otherwise, people are usually addressed by their surname.
Although Reiko Qiu Ting always calls Zong Takuya police officer Zong, but from Yu Jie's tone and demeanor, Zong Takuya discovered the difference between "police officer Zong" and "police officer Zong".
Hey, Officer Zong is Officer Zong, sooner or later you will have to call your husband!
The steely straight man Sotakuya is very confident about the next progress, but he doesn’t know where his confidence comes from.
The next day the time jumped from Saturday to Monday very smoothly and it was time to go to work again.
Zong Takuya came to the office of the Drug Countermeasures Office with a cheerful face. As soon as he entered the door, even the dullest Omura Kengo felt the difference in his boss.
"The police department looks very happy today. Did they find another clue about drug dealers, or did they win a lottery over the weekend?"
Kanaya Kazuma was speechless as he looked at his extremely slow partner beside him. The appearance of the police department was clearly that of someone in love with a blooming iron tree. Why did he think of informants and winning the lottery?
Besides, isn’t the span between these two categories a bit too much?
In order not to embarrass his partner by telling him, Kazuma Kanaya quickly revealed his deduction to Omura Kengo. Who knew Omura Kengo would show contempt after hearing this:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"When he first joined the police department, there were so many young ladies from the traffic department coming to show their hospitality. Look, how many female police officers from our traffic department have come to our classroom this year?"
"Tsk..." Kengo Omura's words reminded Kazuma Kanaya of his boss's glorious record. God had rained down the luck of Asamune Takuya.
In the end, Zong Takuya just relied on his coquettish positioning to avoid all luck.
In the gossip of the Metropolitan Police, what the female police want to know most is probably what kind of woman So Takuya will end up in the hands of. This speculation is basically as hot as who Miwako Sato of the Investigation Section will marry. .
Neither Kazuma Kanaya nor Kengo Omura could convince the other for a while, so they could only look at Mune Takuya. So Takuya happened to be answering the phone at this time.
Of course, it was not a call from Reiko Akiba but a call from Kazuo Tamada, who had received them at the Mihua Library last time.
"Mr. Tamada, the person calling me is..."
"That's it, Officer Zong. Although this call may be a bit presumptuous, our librarian has not come to work in the library for several days."
Tamada Kazuo on the other side of the phone hesitated before telling him the main reason for his call.
"Huh? Wasn't it weekend the past few days, and your librarian didn't take a day off?" Zong Takuzai was stunned, saying that it was normal for ordinary library employees not to take a day off during the weekend.
But whose serious senior management works on weekends?
This is not social at all~
On the phone, Tamada Kazuo's voice was full of admiration and said to Sotakuya: "Our director likes to be hands-on. Basically, the director will come to the library every weekend."
"It's just that the curator hasn't come yet this weekend... The most important thing is that the readers who usually come to buy foreign language books have come here several times, and they are very aggressive every time."
"I didn't speak very politely after I found out that the curator was gone... I was actually afraid that something might happen to the curator, so I contacted Officer Zong."
"Is that so? I understand." Sotakuya responded softly to the phone. After hanging up the phone, he immediately said to Kanaya Kazuma:
"Immediately contact the guy who is following Hideji Tsukawa and ask what's going on."
After receiving this call, Zong Takuya's expression changed from a calm expression to a gloomy and serious one. The main reason why he was able to spend this weekend so easily was because the guy who was following him said that everything was normal with Hideharu Tsugawa.
But the phone call from Tamada Kazuo just now made Zong Takuya have a premonition that something might have happened there, but they knew nothing about it.
Kazuma Kanaya put down the phone and immediately reported to Sotakuya: "Police department, the guy who was following said everything is normal. Tsugawa is still at home, and you can see his shadow walking back and forth."
"Shadow...Shadow?!" Zong Takuya suddenly woke up: "Immediately ask the following guys to go to Jinchuan's house to confirm the situation, control the people in the room, and authorize shooting if there is any situation!"
"Act now, quickly!"
The next second he put down the phone, Sotakuya, Kazuma Kanaya and Kengo Omura boarded the police car and drove quickly towards Mikka Town 2-chome.
...
The siren on the police car was blaring wildly, and the private cars along the way were intimidated by the momentum of the police car that Sotakuya was riding in and invariably moved out of the way to let them go first.
The trip that originally took nearly half an hour now took less than 20 minutes to get from the Metropolitan Police Department to the downstairs of Tsugawa Hideji's house.
As soon as Zong Takuya got off the police car, he saw the expressions of mourning on the faces of the police officers who were following him.
"what's the situation?"
"Report to the police department, Tsugawa Hideharu left home yesterday... the one who is in his home now is an impostor."
"Fake? How can this thing be fake?!" Zong Takuya didn't blame the police officers too much. In fact, the situation has already happened, and all that needs to be done now is to remedy it in time.
Sotakuya quickly arrived at Jinchuan Hideji's home. In the living room, another police officer was guarding an old man with frightened eyes.
"What's going on? How could a normal living person change? Who is he?" Zong Takuya took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Zong Police Department, according to this person, he was originally a homeless man in a remote neighborhood. Someone found him the day before yesterday and told him to live in a haunted house for a week."
"He agreed because he was given a lot of money. When he came here yesterday, there was no one at home. He found the house key under the doormat according to the employer's prompts."
When Zong Takuya arrived, the police officers who were following him had already conducted a round of interrogation on the unfortunate old man and came up with this information.
"I noticed there is a camera at the entrance of this building. Have you gone to the monitoring room to call up the surveillance?"
"We've been to the police department, but we didn't see Hideharu Tsugawa leaving." The following police officers nodded to indicate that they were not as miserable as their colleagues from the First Search Division.
Either there was no surveillance or there was a blind spot in the surveillance area that just didn't get captured.
In fact, the building is equipped with surveillance cameras at the front and rear doors, and there are no blind spots at the entrances and exits. As long as you go out through the front and rear doors, you will definitely be photographed.
So Takuya took one last look at the frightened homeless man and then said to Kazuma Kanaya: "Go and contact the police station in his neighborhood to see if anyone knows him."
"If everything is true, write a record for him and let him go back. Omura will follow me to the monitoring room. I want to see how this big living person disappeared from here."
"Can this shitty place still be haunted?!"
