As soon as Bai Mu closed the door to the inquiry room, he made a smile like he was mocking a fool.
"A talented student in the Career group? He looks like an idiot who can't read the air."
"It's better for people like her to get married early. There's no way a woman can do such a job."
The uncle, who was born in the Showa era, leaned on the corridor and complained in his heart.
But he stared at the screen of his mobile phone, frowned involuntarily, and cursed loudly:
"Where did these little bastards go? How dare you not answer the phone?"
"Don't you know how big a deal it is to settle things for them?"
After several calls were not answered, Bai Mu could only vent his anger on the police uniform he had just changed into, and threw the clothes into the cabinet like a grenade.
"These grandsons, we really need to let them suffer for a while!"
But as soon as he said the harsh words in the locker room, the phone suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar account.
"Changed the number again?" Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, he started to curse as soon as he picked up the phone.
But there was only deathly immersion on the other end of the phone.
Bai Mu felt something was wrong in his heart. He quickly put away his anger and tried in a low voice:
"Excuse me, did you find the wrong person?"
"Bai Mu! I just want to remind you."
Hearing the gentle voice on the other end of the phone, Police Officer Shiraki subconsciously stood up straight.
"The Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Section 1 will take action against you tonight, so don't get me into trouble."
"What..." Bai Mu's eyes gradually became frightened, "Brother Hirai, why would those young men from the First Search Section focus on this?"
"Your latest big Buddha is going to die in person, and you don't even know that?"
"Igarashi Mikaze!?"
Although Shiraki knew that Kazuki Aoguchi had just been replaced by him, he did not expect that he would make a new move so soon.
There was a noncommittal sigh from the other end of the phone.
"Anyway, don't cause trouble at this juncture!"
"Promise! Thank you..." Before he could finish his polite words, the other party hung up the phone abruptly.
"What bad luck!" Bai Mu punched the soft chair in the locker room, "I can only be happy another day..."
He sat in the car and before the unknown fire in his heart dissipated, he slapped the steering wheel.
"Brother Yufeng... Yufeng Dog! If you are so awesome, why are you coming to Yanagihara Town to fly!"
————
Seeing Shiraki walking out, Kuriyama Mai asked first:
"Are there no surveillance cameras near her apartment? Were there any traces of the drug residue in the syringe?"
Although he felt that Toyama Yuuko was already hopeless when she got into skating, but her death was so mysterious that he felt that there was a barrier in his heart that he couldn't overcome.
Now that you've encountered something like this, let's try to help.
"There was an old camera at the corner from her apartment to the intersection, but when my colleagues went to retrieve it, the data was overwritten."
As Yuka Yoshida spoke, she quickly flipped through several reports in front of her.
"The residue in the needle tube is Ice, and the corresponding blood residue was also detected in the needle."
"Mr. Yamazaki, does he think there is something fishy?"
Kuriyama Mai just pointed at the ceiling and asked:
"Can you hear nothing from outside here?"
The transparent glass observation window on the left side of the inquiry room is also empty at this time.
Yoshida Yuxiang raised her head and glanced at him, then gently pointed at the camera set up on a tripod behind her.
"What do you want to say?"
Kuriyama Mai stared at the camera carefully. There were dots of red light on the dark lens, so he could only pretend to be shocked and said:
"I want to say that Officer Baimu just now was so awesome. He found out the truth very easily. It's so awesome."
"She had already overdosed. She wanted to feel good again when she returned home, but her heart couldn't bear it. It was really a regrettable accident."
He deliberately used an animation-like exaggerated tone at the end, but his hand randomly pulled a blank post-it note from the table.
The lack of fingerprints might be an explanation, but how could someone like Toyama Yuuko, who was not even a man, inject Ice.
And you couldn't wait to do it on the sofa as soon as you separated from the men?
If the addiction has not subsided, it is impossible for her to leave those men on her own initiative. Once the addiction subsides, she will only feel tired...
No matter how you think about it, it feels strange.
"Since the previous director retired at the beginning of this year, Police Shiraki is now the interim head of our office. He is an experienced senior."
As Yoshida Yuxiang spoke, she handed him a pen with understanding and asked casually:
"Does Yuko Toyama have a good reputation among customers? In other words, are there any customers who are extremely dissatisfied with her?"
"It's very good. Many people like her very much... That night at the casino... many people looked at her and their eyes shone..."
Kuriyama Mai was hesitating and talking, but his hands kept writing on the paper.
Yoshida Yuxiang nodded from time to time. Seeing him stop writing, she quietly hid the sticky note in the palm of her hand and asked:
"I'll get you a glass of water. What do you want to drink? Tea or coffee?"
Kuriyama Mai was about to blurt out the ice water, but forcefully swallowed the words as soon as they reached her lips, so she had to answer awkwardly:
"Just hot tea! For hot tea, you must have fresh boiled water!"
After saying this, Kuriyama Mai recited three times in his mind, Hayato Yamazaki loves to drink hot water, Hayato Yamazaki loves to drink hot water, Hayato Yamazaki loves to drink hot water.
"Okay~" Yoshida Yuxiang picked up the post-it note and walked to the pantry next door.
I saw three rows of small words scrawled on the sticky note in my hand.
"Her home is not the first scene."
"Shiroki should know everything."
"Be careful in collecting evidence and don't alert others."
"If you want to hear the truth, you have to change your clothes."
This guy... An imperceptible smile flashed in the corner of Yoshida Yuka's eyes. He is really trustworthy...
The sticky note was torn into pieces and thrown into the trash along with the tea bag she opened.
"Please, your hot tea."
Kuriyama Mai looked at the water in the tea cup that seemed to be boiling. He looked up and found Yoshida Yuka's eyes meeting his.
Seeing her stunned for a moment and then her eyes flashing, Kuriyama Mai straightened his expression and asked:
"Do you still have time tonight?"
If she dressed up again and went to investigate with herself, she might get completely different information than she did this afternoon.
Yoshida Yuxiang shook her head regretfully, "Eikawa Aoi has said that she will be here in ten minutes. I will contact you if there are any questions in the future."
"Um."
This matter may involve a wider area than he imagined, so there is no rush for the time being.
Kuriyama Mai picked up the hot tea and blew it briefly for a few times. Seeing that there was no heat for the time being, he took a big sip.
But as soon as the hot water entered his mouth, his tongue was so hot that he subconsciously shrank, and he turned around and spit out the tea he had just drank all over the floor.
Kuriyama Mai covered her mouth in pain, and her face turned crimson.
"Yamazaki, are you okay? Are you burned? I'll get you a glass of ice water right away."
Yoshida Yuxiang quickly stood up and walked to him to check the situation.
Even though her mouth was so hot that it was almost blistering, Kuriyama Mai bit her lip stubbornly and replied:
"No, no need... I just choked..."
He coughed a few times in a pretentious manner.
"Isn't it really a cat's tongue?" Yoshida Yuxiang patted his vest gently, "I'd better get you a glass of ice water."
But Kuriyama Mai grabbed her clothes and said, "No, I really don't need to..."
"I only like to drink hot water..."
Fresh boiled water was what he just mentioned emphatically. He really couldn't do it if he was slapped in the face by the speed of light so quickly...
Yoshida Yuxiang had no choice but to curl her lips and sit opposite him again to sort out the information.
Kuriyama Mai immediately raised his head and smiled at her slightly awkwardly, "I, I... I'll go make it easy!"
Before Yoshida could react, he disappeared in a flash.
"I'm really impressed..."
"If you can't drink hot water, just don't drink it. Why are you trying to be so strong..."
Yoshida Yuxiang tapped her temple with a pen, looking troubled.
She looked at the various documents in front of her, and they all seemed to confirm Bai Mu's somewhat perfunctory judgment.
Although there are some minor flaws, there is currently no conclusive evidence to overturn it...
She suddenly felt that the entire Yanagihara Town seemed to be shrouded in an invisible net.
But perhaps as Hayato Yamazaki said, nothing can be impatient. When you are not sure of a fatal blow, it is best to stand still.
Thinking of this, Yuka Yoshida subconsciously reached out to take out cigarettes from her bag, but there was no cigarette left in the box...
She couldn't help but frown, but looking at the empty metal seat where Yamazaki Hayato was sitting a moment ago, her sad face relaxed slightly.
How could such a rational person like him be as stubborn as a child?
He obviously has a cat's tongue, but he is so persistent in wanting to drink hot water...
Yuka Yoshida thinks he is more unpredictable, or cuter?
Facing the cold water gushing from the faucet, Kuriyama Mai finally felt like she was alive.
Fortunately, the temperature cooled down in time, otherwise my mouth would have been really hot and blistered.
I really have no experience drinking hot water...
It was approaching midnight at the police station. Apart from the two drowsy police officers on duty, Yuka Yoshida was the only one left in the inquiry room.
He came back refreshed and prepared to meet her before leaving, but she took the initiative to greet him:
"Is there any cigarette?"
"Huh?" Kuriyama Mai was a little worried, "My cigarette is a bit spicy, can you smoke it?"
"If the smoke is light and fluffy, can it still be called smoke?" Yuka Yoshida asked, supporting her chin with one hand.
Kuriyama Mai saw her fair neck raised high and her clear eyes full of care. He didn't say anything else and just handed her a Skylark cigarette.
She lit the cigarette skillfully with her slender fingers, and a faint smoke slowly rose in the inquiry room. She was still flipping through the files with her other hand. Kuriyama Mai suddenly felt that she with short hair revealed an indescribable elegance... …
But as soon as she took a deep breath as usual, her elegant posture was immediately broken.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
She didn't expect the smoke to be so choking, and she coughed repeatedly while covering her chest.
"It seems you are not suitable for it."
Kuriyama Mai seemed to have expected it, "I'll buy you a pack of Marlboros. That kind of cigarette is more suitable for you."
"No... no need." Yoshida Yuxiang's cheeks were slightly red, she stubbornly turned her face away, and took another long puff of cigarette.
"...It's this kind of flavor that makes it strong."
Kuriyama Mai saw tears shining in her eyes, probably because she was choked, so he couldn't help it and started laughing loudly.
"Hahahahaha~ I didn't expect you...hahahaha~"
"You..." Yoshida Yuxiang just wanted to refute him out loud, but looking at his cheerful look, she just felt angry and helpless.
But she looked at the cigarette held in her right hand and couldn't help laughing.
What...how can I be like this guy...
