"Chief Zong, Director Hakuba and Ms. Shinina are waiting for you in the office." At the door of the police chief's office, the secretary stood up and said to Zou Takuya.
"Ms. Shinname?" Sotakuya was slightly confused: "What is her relationship with Mr. Shinname Rentaro?"
"You guessed it right, Ms. Shinmei is the only daughter of Mr. Shinmei. Director Baima attaches great importance to the disappearance of Mr. Shinmei, and it has not been known to the outside media yet."
During the short journey from the secretary's office to the police chief's office, Hakuba Shotaro's secretary revealed a lot of useful information to Sotakuya.
Zong Takuya nodded to his secretary, indicating that he had accepted the favor.
Under normal circumstances, Hakuba Shotaro's secretary will serve until he retires from the position of police chief.
Of course, Shotaro Hakuba will also properly arrange his secretary before retiring.
The first is to thank the secretaries for their hard work over the years, and the second is that although the Police Director has retired, the secretaries he has left in the Metropolitan Police Department can be regarded as a residual extension of his influence to some extent.
If you don’t want to be left alone, it is very necessary to have a capable and skillful secretary.
Entering the police chief's office, Sotakuya could clearly see the sincere joy on Shotaro Hakuba's face. Of course, there was also a worried woman in the office.
If he hadn't already had a sister, this young woman named Shinname Kahori would really fit Sotakuya's aesthetics.
Intellectual, tall and handsome.
"Director Hakuba, Special Investigation Section Sou Takuya is reporting to you!" Sou Takuya saluted to Hakuba Shotaro in an upright manner.
"Okay, Takuya called you back from Osaka this time because the situation is a bit urgent." Shotaro Hakuba signaled Sotakuya to relax, and then introduced the new name Kahori next to him.
Then he said seriously: "Teacher Shinmei is nothing short of a national treasure in terms of reasoning works. Such a master must not make mistakes."
"Miss Shinmei, I'm begging you. We must find out where Teacher Shinmei is as soon as possible, and then bring the teacher back intact!"
"Yes, Director Hakuba, I will do my best!" Sotakuya nodded and walked towards the office area of the Special Investigation Division with his new name, Kahori.
"Miss Shinname, can you briefly tell me about the circumstances of your father's disappearance?"
In line with the principle of seizing the time, Sotakuya asked Niina Kahori about the situation on the road. An elderly writer disappeared for no reason.
It doesn't look like a normal situation, not to mention that the new teacher Rentaro doesn't seem to be in good health either.
Niina Kahori had probably said the same thing to many people, and when Sotakuya asked about it, he didn't hesitate at all to talk about his father's disappearance.
A month ago, when Niina Kahori returned home, she found that her parents were not at home, and only a note was left at home asking them to go out for a while.
At that time, Xiangbaori didn't pay much attention to it. He just thought it was an old man who wanted to go and have a look.
But the next development made Niina Kahori realize that something was wrong, that is, the sequel of Detective Zuomonji, which had been completed for ten years, suddenly started serializing again.
Moreover, his parents who were away from home had not contacted him once for nearly a month, but Detective Zuo Wenwen faxed him to the magazine editorial department on time at 0:00 every Saturday night.
"Miss Shinmei, do you have any manuscripts from Mr. Shinmei?"
"some."
Niina Kahori immediately took out the manuscript he had requested from the magazine. Although it was a printed version, each issue of the magazine was signed by Niina Rentaro himself.
When she walked to Miyano Akemi's office, Miyano Akemi was already waiting for Sotakuya's arrival.
After leading the two of them into the brand-new section chief's office, Sotakuya nodded with satisfaction at the decoration inside.
He really didn't like the old-fashioned decoration style before, so this modern minimalist style assembly decoration must suit him.
"Miss Sera, please help me call the Zhufu Police Department and the Gunda Police Department. It is up to them to solve the mystery."
After Miyano Akemi left, Sotakuya said to Niina Kahori: "Miss Niina, you must be mentally prepared before conducting a search."
Sotakuya's expression was serious.
"All of your father's signatures on these manuscripts are photocopies. It cannot be ruled out that your father is now incapacitated or..."
Sotakuya did not say the cruelest conclusion, but from the water in Niina Kahori's eyes, she could tell that she understood the unfinished meaning of Sotakuya's words.
If he is not incapacitated and unable to move, the greater probability is that he is dead.
Of course, nothing is so absolute. So Takuya feels that the probability of the new name Rentaro's death is not high, otherwise why would he continue to serialize Detective Zuofen?
If Shinname Rentaro had been killed a long time ago, what would happen next for Detective Zuomonji?
If the quality of the work decreases or the writing style changes, not only the long-time fans, but also the editors in the editorial department can see it.
It is somewhat unreliable to use this method to confuse the death time of the new name Rentaro.
if this were not the case
Could it be a willful joke by an aging mystery writer?
The more Sotakuya thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility, so he simply asked Shinna Kahori: "How is Shinna-sensei's health lately? Is there a hospital where he often goes for physical examinations?"
Niina Kahori suppressed her grief and answered Sotakuya: "It is not very convenient for my father to travel as he gets older, so he always has a private doctor responsible for checking up at home."
"Who is your personal doctor?"
"It's Dr. Zhongbo Shi. Dr. Zhongbo used to be a doctor at Mihua General Hospital. He later resigned and became a private doctor and has been responsible for my father's health."
"So, do you know about Mr. Shinname's recent physical examination?"
Xianna Xiangbaoli shook her head: "My mother is responsible for connecting with Zhongbo doctors. After every examination, my mother will tell me that it is still the same."
At this time, Morofu Gaoming and Gunda Ikumi came to the office.
"The author of "Detective Zuomonji", Mr. Shinname, has disappeared. This is the manuscript he sent when he disappeared. Take a look to see if there are any codes or metaphors in it."
Sotakuya is also tired. If his new name, Rentaro, is not an accident and he really wants to make a joke with the readers,
Then this joke is really full of malice for someone like him who is not good at codes. He is truly a willful mystery writer.
Just as Morofushi Takaaki and Gunada Ikumi cracked the code, Sotakuya arranged for other police officers to investigate the itinerary of Hiroshi Naka, the new celebrity's personal doctor.
By the way, Zhongbo Shi was invited to the Special Search Section to cooperate with their investigation.
So Takuya now needs to know the true physical condition of his new name, Rentaro.
After all, parents always report good things to their children but not bad things, and Sotakuya doesn't know what the old attitude of Shinname Kahori's mother is like.
