"Officer Lin, has the previous case been successfully resolved?"

Akemi put down the chopsticks in her hand and casually asked Lin Xiuyi.

"Well, in fact, it can't be completely solved!"

Thinking of Eiko Irie, who might escape the legal net, Lin Xiuyi replied to Akemi with some regret.

"But, hasn't Sister Jingzi come back safe and sound?"

As soon as the words came out, Akemi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why do you want to mention Keiko at this time? Thinking of this, Akemi couldn't help but wonder what kind of reaction Lin Xiuyi would make.

"Although I can't disclose the specific details, I always feel that this case is not as simple as we already know. However, we are no longer able to obtain more evidence. Therefore, the follow-up investigation can only be regrettably terminated. I don't think there was any slackness in this case. But sometimes, the effort and the final reward are not always equated. ”

Lin Shuichi did not continue to bring up the matter of Keiko, but focused on the case of Hamada Daichi. This case is indeed a big regret for Lin Xiuyi. The suicide of Shinki Mansai made it impossible for the police to track down what role Etsuko played in the overall case. At the same time, Lin Xiuyi also thoroughly understood the power of the secretaries in charge of policy in the Congress. I have to say, there are really a lot of similarities between Nagao Keiko and Eiko Irie......

Perhaps because he felt that it was not appropriate to talk about the case during the meal, Lin Xiuyi immediately diverted the topic.

"How about a different subject, do you know what is the most taboo food in a search lesson?"

"Hmm...... It's not going to be pork chop rice, is it?"

"Eh, why do you say it's pork chop rice?"

"I just feel like you often invite inmates to eat this, so could it be that you have any prejudice against pork chop rice?"

The answer...... It's really ......."

Lin Xiu smiled, the stalk of pork chop rice has been used up by Japanese criminal investigation dramas. In fact, this allusion originally came from the legendary Japanese criminal policeman Hiratsuka Hachibei. When he was in charge of Yoshizhan's abduction case, he used amazing patience and perseverance to obtain a confession from the suspect Ohara Ho, who is said to have invited Hiratsuka Hachibei to an expensive pork chop rice out of his own pocket before Ohara finally spoke. Since then, inviting inmates to eat pork cutlet rice seems to have become an enduring allusion to the Metropolitan Police Department. is almost the same as the "drinking coffee" of the Hong Kong police in Hong Kong dramas. However, because of the increasingly strict judicial process. Now it is forbidden to invite prisoners to eat pork cutlet rice, because it is actually suspected of inducing confessions.

"Did I guess right?"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi's mysterious appearance, Akemi couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Hmm...... Actually, I guessed wrong!"

"Ah~~ Isn't it pork chop rice? I thought I would guess it?"

"It's a pity that I'm talking about noodles and other foods! It is said that the thinner and longer the noodles are, the longer the case will drag on, so the police don't eat noodles when they investigate the case! But if I'm really investigating, I won't eat noodles in front of my colleagues. ”

"Ah...... So that's it!"

"That's right. From the moment I started, I noticed that the LED screen outside the TBS building opposite me seemed to be playing an advertisement of your performance every once in a while! ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's inquiry, Akemi hurriedly turned around to check! Akemi only glanced at it slightly, and remembered that it was the advertisement.

"This was an advertisement for a skincare product in collaboration with Shiseido last summer, and I went to the Kamakura beach to shoot it because it was about sun protection!

"Kamakura? I really haven't been to it yet, isn't it similar to Kyoto, full of old buildings and something!"

"No, Kamakura doesn't have as many tourists as Kyoto, and I think it's a city where you can relax. Especially in the summer, I almost didn't want to go back to work. If I could, I really want to be there for a while every summer?"

"Oh...... Sounds interesting, doesn't it?"

"Hmm...... How about it, let's have a chance to go and see it together!"

"Huh? this ...... Here's a chance!"

"Hmm!"

Akemi could tell that Lin Xiuyi's answer was actually a bit perfunctory. But think about it, after all, the relationship between the two is really a little awkward now. Moreover, this is the first time the two have had lunch together. There are some things that are better not to be in a hurry.

……

After finishing lunch, Lin Xiuyi naturally wanted to send Akemi back to continue working. The two of them would still fall into silence from time to time along the way. However, Akemi felt that today was a day to remember.

Just as the two of them arrived downstairs at the TBS building, an advertisement for Akemi's sunscreen began to play on the advertising screen again. Akemi walks through the streets of Kamakura and the seaside in the picture, and has a lovely beauty. Lin Xiuyi suddenly stopped and looked at the advertisement on the screen seriously.

"Actually, I still think you're more beautiful than on TV!"

"Oh, am I, or am I really embarrassed to be complimented like this?"

"By the way, have you had any time lately?"

"Huh?"

"I feel like summer is coming to an end, why don't we go to Kamakura together for a vacation?

"You...... Are you inviting me? I ......."

Akemi was so surprised that she couldn't believe her ears, she just thought that Lin Xiuyi was just casually perfunctory, but she didn't expect that the other party would really invite her to go on a trip together.

"Isn't there any time, I'm sorry, it's all my whim......"

"Ah...... No, no, no, I'm a little ...... Some...... I will definitely go!"

Akemi was a little excited, and she didn't know how to answer. And as soon as Lin Xiu saw Akemi's appearance, he couldn't help but smile a little embarrassed.

"Well, that's it, I might need a week to make some work arrangements, so next week we'll go to Kamakura with Reina for a vacation and enjoy the last bit of summer!"
