Chapter 22: Murder

"The Metropolitan Police Department reported, the Metropolitan Police Department reported that a body was found next to the railroad in the area of Takadanobaba on the Yamanote Line in Shinjuku Ward. Please send police officers to the nearest police station immediately to confirm the ......"

"Hi, I understand, the Shinjuku Central Office searched for the 16 report, and we immediately rushed to the location of the incident to confirm, and the ...... was over"

When the call in the call booth was interrupted, a silver-gray Toyota sedan parked on the side of the road burst into the driver's window and stretched out a hand from the driver's window, casually put a flashing red warning light on the roof of the car, and then the car quickly started to cut into the nearby road, and then drove straight in the direction of Takadanobaba.

A few minutes later, the Metropolitan Police Department's call center finally received the latest information from the front.

"Call the command center, and it was confirmed that someone had been killed in the area of Takadanobaba, and the deceased was ...... A man of about 50 years old has multiple wounds on his body, and the little fingers of both hands have been severed, and no relevant documents have been found to prove the identity of the deceased......"

"Understand, please send criminal officers to the scene of the crime immediately from the Shinjuku Central Police Station, and at the same time notify the First Search Division to dispatch relevant personnel to the scene for guidance, the above ......"

……

After the case was confirmed, the Criminal Division of the Shinjuku Central Police Station, which was in charge of criminal cases in the Shinjuku area, was still regretting the golf tournament that had been held last week to decide the promotion quota, and it was incomprehensible to the newly appointed commissioner that he had suddenly rejected the eighteen places he had won from other Central Police stations to be promoted to the agency.

"Alas...... Why, if there are those places, Aizaki-kun, you can be sent to the main hall to study, and when the time comes...... If we can be favored by the officers of the search section and stay there to work, our Shinjuku Central Office can be regarded as a place where we can send talents to this agency, alas...... When I was younger, I didn't get such a good opportunity to work in Shinjuku for the rest of my life......"

"Forget it, senior...... Maybe the director has his own considerations? By the way, senior, I don't know if you've heard of it......."

"Huh?"

"It is said that ...... Director He is not only an absolute ace in the search class, but also a senior adviser to the FBI in the United States? It is said that even transnational drug cartels have fallen under his feet, so he ......

"Uh-huh!"

Just when Section Chief Adachi and Aizaki were gossiping about Lin Shuichi's history of searching for a lesson, a colleague from the Criminal Division walked to the door and saw Lin Shuichi walking in the direction of the Criminal Division, so he hurriedly coughed loudly to remind the section chief and Aizaki who were gossiping in the room.

"Hello, Director!"

When Lin Xiuyi walked into the office of the Criminal Division, he saw that Section Chief Adachi and Aizaki were standing respectfully in front of the door and saluting him, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little unaccustomed. However, he still nodded, and then asked Adachi with hesitation:

"Ah...... Are you busy?"

"Hey, thank you for your concern, Director, I ...... I was assigning work to my subordinates just now! You see, Aizaki-kun!"

"Hey, section chief, I'm going to do something!"

"Ah...... Be careful on the road!"

……

Seeing that Aizaki seemed to leave the office in a hurry because of something, Lin Xiuyi nodded approvingly to the other party, and then he asked directly to Section Chief Adachi:

"Hmm...... That one...... Adachi-kun, I just heard a notice on the radio that a case has occurred...... You guys...... Don't you have to go and see it?"

"Ah...... We've already reported this to the officers of the Search Division 1 of this office......! Our colleagues from the search team are also maintaining order at the scene, as soon as the officers of the first section arrive at the scene, we will immediately transfer the case to the main hall, and we will never delay the work of the officers!"

"Oh...... Huh?"

When Lin Xiu heard Adachi's explanation, he didn't feel anything at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little difficult to understand.

"Wait a minute, if it's a case that happens in our jurisdiction, isn't it supposed to be the Shinjuku Central Police Station in charge?"

"Uh...... Sir, if the case is very serious or complicated, we will also report it to the Criminal Department of this agency and ask for guidance, so ......."

"That's it!"

……

Lin Xiuyi hesitated slightly, and then, when he raised his head again, he said something that Adachi would never have thought of anyway.

"That...... Excuse me...... Can you take me to the site?"

"Huh?"

"Ah...... Don't get me wrong! I'm just a little curious about why such a horrific case happened in Shinjuku......! If it doesn't cause you too much trouble......"

"Ah...... I see, please wait a moment, Director, and I'll contact my colleague in front of me to arrange it for you......"

When Lin Xiu heard the other party's answer, he felt that Adachi should have understood what he meant, so after he thanked Adachi, he left the office of the Criminal Division alone.

When Lin Xiuyi waited for a long time in his office, Adachi came to Lin Xiuyi's office belatedly and informed him that he could go to the scene. So, Lin Xiuyi walked out of the office building of the Shinjuku Department, and then got into his car, and then, followed by a group of police cars with honking horns, the convoy of the Shinjuku Department arrived at the scene.

When Lin Xiuyi stepped out of the car, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless when he saw such a swaggering convoy behind him. But...... Lin Xiuyi, who returned to the scene of the crime again, still felt a sense of familiarity that had not been seen for a long time. I saw him habitually take out his gloves from his pocket. While carefully putting it on his hand, he walked towards the blocked area in front of him. When he came to the cordon with the words "Standing Prohibited", one of the officers immediately raised the cordon for him, and then saluted and said respectfully:

"You've done a great job!"

"Hmm, where is the body, can I go over and take a look?"

"Uh...... Director, the ...... The commander of the first lesson is already inside, if you want to go in, do you want us to ask the other party's opinion first?"

"Okay!"

Lin Xiuyi saw that his subordinates were a little embarrassed, and felt that it was better not to cause trouble to his subordinates, so he waited in place, looking at the guys with search armbands in the distance, and after a while, he saw a familiar figure suddenly run in front of him, saluted respectfully, and then said excitedly:

"Ah...... My lord, I didn't expect you to come, huh...... I'm sorry, but now you're a police officer!"

"Aso is the head of the line...... Are you responsible for this case?

"Yes, Lord Police, but ...... Looks like you're in big trouble this time!"

"Huh?"

"The guy who died inside, we just identified him, I'm afraid you would never think he was sleep......ing! He is the current president of the Sumiyoshi Kai...... Fukuda Qing, the little thumbs of his left and right hands were cut off, this time...... Shinjuku has a headache for you!"
