"Excuse me, but is this the Chiba Prefecture Fishing Boat Association?"

"Uh...... Hey, do you need any help?"

"That...... I'm from Tokyo, and this is my business card!"

As he spoke, Urashima took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the other party. The staff member of the association on the opposite side took the business card with some curiosity, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the content on it.

"Metropolitan Police Department, search ...... A lesson ......in searching? Is something wrong?"

"That...... Anyway, it's a little busy and I want to ask for your help. That one...... Do you have any information about all the fishing boats in the prefecture?"

"Hmm...... If you want to run a fishing boat business, you naturally have to register with us, because we usually communicate with the government on behalf of the fishing boat association. ”

"Ah...... That's great, can you help me look into the boats you've registered with, ah...... By the way, I heard that most of the ships are under maintenance right now, right?"

"Hey, it's the off-season, and everyone is hurrying to overhaul their boats as soon as possible to welcome the next cherry blossom season. Excuse me...... What exactly do you want to investigate?"

"That...... Yes, we would like to know the owners of ships who have not yet made an appointment with the association for maintenance, can you help?"

"Oh, that's right, then please come in!"

After listening to Urashima's purpose, the other party let Urashima into the house, and then poured him a cup of hot tea. After receiving the hot tea, Urashima first expressed his gratitude, and then observed the interior of the nondescript association.

The walls as far as the eye can see are full of posters promoting sea fishing tourism in Chiba Prefecture, and these posters show the characteristics of reef bottom sea fishing in Chiba Prefecture without exception, and one of the posters shows a middle-aged man who looks about 40 years old and excitedly holds up an unknown species of fish to show off his achievements. The fishing boat and the sea behind the man make people can't help but feel a sense of yearning.

"That...... You just need information about ships that haven't been overhauled, right?"

"Uh...... Hey!"

"It's been called out, and there are less than twenty fishing boat owners who haven't made an appointment yet, so I'll help you print it out!"

"Eh, is that really possible? That's great!"

As he spoke, Urashima stood up gratefully and walked towards the other party, and then, when he received the list handed by the other party, he immediately browsed it.

The list contains not only the name of the fishing house, but also information about the fishing boats owned by the fishing house, and when Urashima carefully browses the list, a surprising name suddenly appears on the list.

"Irumimaru?"

"I'm sorry, but what's going on with this Irumimaru?"

"Oh, let me see? ah...... Isn't this a fishing boat owned by the Anyangsa Boathouse? I remember that the family would have stopped fishing for a long time! If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have remembered!"

"Anyangsa Temple's house......boat? Do you know where their home is?"

"This ...... I remember hearing people say that when their daughter was in college, she suddenly ran away from home for some reason. However, they also have a son, but unfortunately they did not inherit the business of the fishing house in the end......"

"Son, do you know his name?"

"This ...... I don't know their family very well, so I ...... But I've heard people say that their son seems to be a journalist in Tokyo! Unfortunately, I haven't seen Mr. Anyangji himself for a long time in the past few years, and I think he must have passed away!"

"That...... Please help me find the address of the Anyangsa Boathouse, which is very important to me!

Urashima said as he bowed excitedly to the other party, who was taken aback by Urashima's sudden enthusiasm, but still happily agreed to the other party's request.

……

By the time Urashima left the Chiba Prefecture Boat Fishing Association, he had already gotten the address where the Anyangji Boat House was located. So he reported the incident to the Chiba Prefectural Police and hurriedly drove in the direction of Anbo City.

When Urashima arrived at the Anyangji Houseboat, it was completely cordoned off by the Chiba Prefectural Police. When Urashima revealed his identity, he was allowed to enter the scene.

"How's it going?

"Hmm...... The Irumimamaru registered in the name of the houseboat is indeed missing. In addition, we found a replacement marine engine and marine positioning device on site. There are a few other items in addition to this. But...... We haven't found any evidence that the inspector is being detained here!"

"This ...... If the murderer is really a descendant of the Anyangji family, then it is very likely that the police inspector will be imprisoned in that boat now, which is a fishing boat that has fallen into disrepair! If something really goes wrong, the police director will really die in the sea!"

"What...... Okay then! I'll try to go up as far as I can!"

"Thank you so much, I'm going to get in touch with Tokyo and report back to you what we've discovered......"

As he spoke, Urashima took out his phone and walked to a quieter place next to him. Then he dialed Lin Xiuyi's phone directly.

"I've found some important clues here......"

"What's the matter, Urashima-kun, the police department is talking to the suspect right now?"

"Ah...... It's Miki's senior.,That side of me seems to have found the whereabouts of the suspect.,The other party's profession seems to be a reporter.,The family used to run a fishing boat business.,But now the specific whereabouts of the suspect and Chief Matsumoto are still being investigated......"

Urashima carefully reported the information he found to Miki, and Miki listened carefully to Urashima's report, and then looked at Lin Xiuyi, who was still talking to the other party, with a solemn face.

"Urashima-kun, the police department can't get away now, please continue to investigate over there, and I will also find a way to report the situation on your side to the police department!"

……

When Miki hung up the phone and returned to the living room, she quietly walked in front of Lin Xiuyi, and then wrote down the general information of Urashima's report on a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Xiuyi.

"There are clues about the identity of the suspect, and the whereabouts of the police superintendent are still unknown!"
