"Officer, I'm so sorry, I just ...... I was just excited ......"

"Momentarily excited...... Do you know how much trouble we caused, anyway...... There are still a few hours before dawn, and we have time to listen to your explanations in the evening......"

Seeing the words of the police uncle dressed as a panda viciously to himself, one of the young people who participated in the smashing of the vehicle just now couldn't help but feel a little scared. Thinking of the fact that he was almost crazy about beating the driver and overturning the car under the dual effects of alcohol and carnival just now, this guy can't help but feel a little scared now.

……

But it's not just the drunkards who are in a bad situation right now. At this moment, Counselor Asano, who lost a great opportunity, was about to put all the responsibility on the Shinjuku Central Police Station, and even Lin Shuichi became the target of his reprimand.

"Lin Police, I want to ...... I have already told you clearly at the coordination meeting that Shoji Kuroda is the most important target of our operation! Why, why do you and the Shinjuku Central Police Station refuse to obey my command and go to the trouble to alarm the suspects? I need an adequate explanation from you......"

"I'm really sorry, you should have seen that situation just now, if we don't make a move, I'm afraid the consequences will ......"

"It's just a normal brawl, can't we just wait a few more minutes......? Shoji Kuroda has once again run under our noses, how are you going to explain to the Metropolitan Police Department......"

"I'm really sorry, but if I need to explain, I'll do my best......"

"Humph!"

……

For the sake of Lin Xiuyi's sincere apology, Asai is not good at what to say, anyway, there is already a perfect scapegoat for tonight's failure, and Asai can just put the responsibility of the public security on the head of the Shinjuku Central Office and the Shibuya Central Office, as for what kind of punishment Kagawa and Lin Shuichi will receive, it is not for Asai to worry about.

……

When Lin Xiuyi returned to the Shinjuku Office with mixed feelings, it was already late at night, but it was ...... Because some suspects were arrested for destroying objects and assaulting others during the parade, colleagues in the Criminal Division are still working intensively. Seeing the busy scene here, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel very relieved.

"Ah...... Director, you're back!"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi standing in the empty office, Section Chief Adachi, who had just come out of the transfer room, couldn't help but be startled.

"Chief Adachi, you've worked hard, and you've brought everyone back!"

"Hey, the suspect is taking separate statements, and the other ...... The truck driver is still upstairs to get his injuries checked!"

……

Just when Lin Xiuyi was discussing with Adachi Section Chief, Miyu from the Criminal Department happened to return to the office with the truck driver who had been violated, and when Miyu saw that Lin Xiuyi was also here, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised, so she hurriedly greeted Lin Xiuichi:

"Director, I didn't expect you to go back!"

"yes......! ARE YOU A COSPLAY FROM "GIRL CRIMINAL"?"

"Hey, Director...... I didn't expect you to know "Girl Criminal"! I like Miko-sensei's work the most......"

"Ah...... The next time I see Miko, I will definitely tell her ......"

……

Lin Xiuyi casually exchanged a few words with Mei Yu, and just when Mei Yu wanted to ask Lin Xiuyi if he knew Miko Fukuda, the author of "Girl Criminal", Lin Xiuyi suddenly turned his attention to the truck driver who was violated, and then asked with some curiosity:

"That...... Can I ask you, may I ask you...... Why did you drive the wagons into the streets of the parade at that time?"

"Uh...... I'm really sorry, I was already off work, but before I went home, we suddenly received a call from a guest, saying that he wanted to ask us to go to Roppongi to transport some pottery used in the pottery studio back, in order not to let the guests feel disappointed in our company, so I reluctantly drove to Roppongi, who knows...... Who knew that it was so careless to walk onto a temporarily closed street by mistake......"

"Clay, you mean clay, right?"

"Uh...... What's the matter, Mr. Officer......"

"Nothing...... I just remembered something, right...... Who are you going to talk to about the clay in Roppongi?"

"Uh...... The meeting place is outside the warehouse of a pottery consignment house near Roppongi, but I really don't know how to explain this to the customer when something like this happened tonight!"

"I see!"

……

Hearing what this driver said, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but think of the pottery bowl that the other party gave him the last time he and Kuroda Shoji met in Sakura. Tonight, the truck driver asked Roppongi to pick up a batch of clay, isn't it...... Is this really just a coincidence?

"By the way, can you please leave me the detailed address of that consignment shop, if you can, I want to take the time to go there tomorrow to have a look......"

"Huh...... Forehead...... Alright!"

When the driver heard Lin Xiuyi suddenly make such a request, he couldn't help but feel a little confused for a while, but ...... Since it was requested by Mr. Police, I just need to cooperate. So he happily opened his notepad, and then showed Lin Xiuyi the note with the address of the consignment house, and after Lin Xiuyi saw it, he immediately took a picture of the handwriting on the note with his mobile phone.

"Excuse me, Director...... Is there something wrong with that?"

Seeing Lin Xiuyi's abnormal behavior, Section Chief Adachi, who had always been by his side, couldn't help but feel a little curious and asked.

"Nothing...... I'm just thinking about something, and I'm not sure for a while...... So ......"

……

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's somewhat obscure answer, Adachi Sheng may have been worried that he would talk too much, so he stopped asking questions. Lin Xiuyi, on the other hand, said goodbye to everyone present, and then left the police station and returned home directly.

"I'm back......"

When Lin Xiu pushed open the door, as soon as he took off his shoes, he saw Ling Nai lying on the sofa with a book covering her face, looking as if she had fallen asleep. Seeing this, Lin Xiu hurriedly walked to his sister's side lightly, took the book aside, and then covered Ling Nai's body with a blanket.

"After coming back from the United States, it's really hard, Rena-chan!"

As soon as Lin Xiu's words fell, he walked straight into his room, and then found the pottery bowl that Kuroda Shoji had used before, put it in his hand and observed it carefully.

"If it's clay, ordinary people won't be able to see any clues!"
