Chapter 92: Asking for help
"Welcome, sir, are you alone?"
"Hey, please bring me a beer, and ...... Do you have a rice set?"
"Huh?"
Hearing that the guest who had just entered the door actually asked about the rice set, the owner of the izakaya couldn't help but look at the other party with some surprise.
"Didn't you?"
"Ah...... It's not nothing, but it's just a little bit of preparation, you see...... Is it okay to have a tonkatsu set?"
"Yes, please bring me a tonkatsu set. ”
When the counselor of the middle garden told the shopkeeper what he needed, he unbuttoned his coat with some restraint, and then silently walked to the side and sat down on the side of the wall. After the counsellor had tidied up a few strands of hair on his forehead, he was served beer and hors d'oeuvres. Seeing this, the counselor hurriedly picked up the cup that was buckled to the beer bottle, and then placed it on the table and poured it full of beer. It wasn't until a refreshing sip of beer was swallowed that the counsellor let out a heartfelt exclamation.
"Ahh
"Long time no see, Counsellor!"
"Good evening, Counsellor!"
……
Just as the counsellor was enjoying the comfort of the beer, two familiar voices suddenly appeared in his ears one after another, and before the counsellor could turn around, he saw two people sitting at the table behind him from the seats behind him.
Lin ...... Shuichi Hayashi, Kosuke Aso, how did you know I was here?"
"Ah...... I'm sorry, but we know that your wife is not home every weekend, so we came to your house near the izakaya to wait for you, and the things here are really good, Counsellor!"
"My wife, ...... you You're investigating me?"
Counselor Nakazono couldn't help but feel a little surprised and angry when he heard that Kosuke Aso even knew that his wife was not at home on the weekend.
"Don't get me wrong, Counsellor, my mother and your wife attend the same cooking class at the same time, so ...... I can understand your current situation, how about it, I haven't seen Lin for so long, I don't mind if everyone has a drink together!"
"Wait a minute, you came to me today, it won't be for that incident! Let's talk about it first, that case is now under the responsibility of the General Affairs Division of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department, and the Search Section 1 and the Criminal Department have been completely excluded this time!"
"However, Counselor, I heard that you and the current management officer of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department entered the Metropolitan Police Department at the same time, so ...... Excuse me...... Could you please take a moment to inquire about this case?"
"Ahem!"
Hearing Kosuke Aso's request, Nakayuan accidentally choked on a sip of beer, and soon he coughed violently.
"I'm really sorry, counselor, I know that it's a bit reluctant to come to you at this time, if it's really embarrassing......"
Without waiting for Lin Xiuyi to finish speaking, the counselor of Zhongyuan raised his hand to interrupt Lin Xiuyi's speech, and then, when he finally recovered, he said to Lin Xiuyi seriously:
"It's okay, I'll go and help you find their group to ask the people from the General Affairs Division for the time being! However, there is one thing I want to explain to you in advance, you are one of the people involved in this case, so according to the rules, I can't reveal the specific details of the case to you. But...... As long as it's not against the rules, I'll do my best to help you!"
Hearing the counselor's answer so happily, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel very surprised, but Lin Xiuyi quickly reacted, and then said to the counselor with great gratitude:
"Thank you, Counselor, I didn't expect ......"
"Okay, I've paid a little attention to that case before, and someone found drugs in my luggage on the spot, this ...... I'm afraid it's a lot of trouble!"
"yes, the arrest is ...... But...... If the man Ms. Isabel said could be seen in the surveillance, I believe the truth would be revealed!"
……
The next morning, when the counselor of Zhongyuan came to the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department thinking about what Lin Xiuyi had asked him to do last night, he was immediately unceremoniously kicked out as soon as he walked into the door of the General Affairs Division.
"Who am I......? You're going to be in our office?"
"Saeki-kun, don't come unharmed! I'm really sorry to say hello for a long time!"
"Oh...... How did you become so polite today, haha...... Isn't it going to be something that asks me, just say it! Thinking that we joined the Metropolitan Police Department together, I thought...... I might give you a face!"
"Really, then...... How's your investigation going, Akemi Sonoji's case?
"Oh, is this the case?"
Hearing that the counselor of Nakazono suddenly brought up the case of Akemi Sonoji, the administrator of Saeki couldn't help but sink his face in surprise.
"That...... How are you investigating now, you won't still suspect that the drugs were brought by that woman, how can anyone be stupid enough to take so many drugs and go straight to the security check!"
"I'm sorry, according to the evidence we have found, the French woman named Isabel is the owner of the drugs, in fact...... We found out from the French police that Isabel Wonno Temple had been treated in the hospital for abusing weight loss drugs when she was young. So...... Our suspicions are not unfounded......"
"What...... What?"
I heard the introduction of the management officer Saeki. The counselor of Zhongyuan couldn't help but gasp.
"Huh...... Nakasoyuan-kun, I'm not afraid to tell you frankly, this case, we have now investigated clearly, the suspect Isabel carried a controlled drug with the intention of getting past the security check, but unfortunately the case personnel found it on the spot, so she made up a man who didn't exist at all...... Want to interfere with our investigation!"
Hearing Managing Saeki's explanation, Counselor Nakazono couldn't help but look at the other party with some confusion, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Hey, Nakasono-kun, I know that the suspect this time has something to do with someone from your criminal department, but...... I think you should also know that Akemi of Sonoji Temple's boyfriend, it seems that his name is Lin Xiuyi, he is the relevant person in this case, you must not tell that guy what I told you, otherwise, even if I don't trouble you, the District Prosecutor's Office will be dissatisfied once it knows!"
When the counselor of Nakazono heard this, he couldn't help but salute the manager of Saeki, and then walked out of the other party's office area quickly
