Chapter 56: The Parting Wine (End of Volume)

The underwater search for the Sumida River continued until late at night, and the police recovered more than a dozen fragments of bodies that appeared to be human beings, thanks to the hard work of the Garrison Department's water disaster rescue team. The body fragments were not seriously damaged by the creatures at the bottom of the river because they were wrapped in a plastic bag with heavy objects, and after the preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor at the scene, this should be the body of a minor girl under the age of 20, and the presence of the left hand was not found in all the body parts, so it should be considered that this body belongs to Tomomi Yano.

Shuichi Hayashi, Miki, and Kuwajima-senpai stood in front of the body bag containing Tomomi Yano's corpse, folded their hands, and saluted the deceased. After the ceremony, the colleagues of the Mobile Search Bureau took away all the evidence recovered from the bottom of the river, including the body and the tools of the crime. With the evacuation of a large number of policemen, the Sumida River returned to calm again in the night.

Lin Shuichi and Kuwajima Senpai didn't leave in the car with the others, because the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the Kuwajima Police Department was about to say goodbye to Tokyo, so naturally there was a lot to say.

"I didn't expect that before I left Tokyo, I would be able to see the murderer Fu Fa with my own eyes, and I have no regrets in my police career! Thank you Xiu Yijun!"

"The seniors have an overreputation, this is what I should do, but you, seniors, I heard that you gave up your position as the overseas minister of the Japan Tobacco Company, do you have any other plans?"

"My wife's family is a farmer in Miyazaki Prefecture, and she is the only daughter in the family, so we have always had the intention of returning to Miyazaki Prefecture after retirement. This time it happened, and it wasn't my intention, but it was a good opportunity to leave Tokyo......"

As soon as Lin Xiu heard the words of the Kushima Police Department, he felt that this was also a good choice. In Japan, it is the dream of many people to become a farmer after retirement. In addition, Miyazaki Prefecture is a famous tourist destination in Japan, not only with a pleasant climate, beautiful scenery, but also rich in high-end agricultural products, which is really a good place to settle. Rather than becoming a businessman wandering overseas, perhaps farming in Miyazaki Prefecture is a better choice.

The two of them walked all the way on the silent and deserted street, and they didn't know how long they walked, and suddenly they saw a house (a mobile stall on the side of the Japanese street) standing there, so the two of them lifted the plastic sheet covering the outside and couldn't help but walk in.

"Welcome, I only have ramen and oden here, I don't know what you two want to eat?"

"Bring me a bowl of soy sauce ramen, by the way, boss, do you have any alcohol to sell here, and you suddenly want to have a drink at night?"

Lin Xiu pulled out the stool and sat down at the counter in the house with Kuwajima senior, and the Kuwashima Police Department saw that Lin Xiu ordered a soy sauce ramen, and he asked for a miso ramen himself. Immediately afterwards, the two of them each asked for some oden to drink.

"The two of you are blessed, I just have a bottle of Aomori's fine wine here-the Eight Immortals, this bottle of wine was originally reserved for my own enjoyment!"

"Thank you boss, I can't hide it, this is my respected senior at work, and I'm about to leave Tokyo, and I don't know if I'll have a chance to see you again in the future, so we may delay your home......"

"It doesn't matter, you can drink as long as you want, let's be honest, my wife passed away not long ago, and I haven't been able to sleep much at night since, so it's okay to come out and set up a stall to find something to do for myself. But my ramen is just instant noodles, okay?"

"It's okay, boss, please start!"

After discussing the time with the owner of the house, the boss first took out two wooden trees and glasses, and then opened his treasure Aomori sake Michinoku Hachisen Junmai Daiginjo for Lin Shuichi. This wine is indeed a rare good wine, the reason why it is named Eight Immortals is not taken from the myth of the Chinese Eight Immortals crossing the sea, but to describe the feeling of making people want to fly after drinking this wine, such as climbing to a fairyland.

The liquor is as clear as water flowing out of the bottle, filling the glass and then flowing into the wooden tree. Even though it's just a roof, sake is still sold as a one-way sake.

Lin Shuichi first raised his glass, sincerely wishing Kuwajima seniors a better life in Miyazaki Prefecture. Kuwajima's seniors raised their glasses and wished Lin Shuichi always a smooth job in the Metropolitan Police Department. After a glass of sake, the two of them poured the sake back into the cup and continued to drink.

Although the alcohol content of sake is not high, it is easy to get intoxicated. After a few glasses of wine, it is easy to say words that you can't say on a daily basis. Among Lin Xiuyi's colleagues at the same level, Sangjima-senior and Shenmu senior were one of the few friends that Lin Xiuyi was searching for. To put it bluntly, Lin Xiuyi was not only reluctant to leave Kuwajima's seniors, but also felt chilled by the first search lesson and the senior management of the Criminal Department.

"Kuwajima-senpai is a senior I respect very much, and your departure is definitely a mistake made by the Criminal Department......"

In fact, leaving now is not necessarily a bad thing for me. Maybe you don't know, I built a fish pond in the yard of my home and raised a few koi. Whenever I'm done dealing with these murderers, I always sit in front of this fish pond and watch them swim in the water. Only then will I feel like I'm a normal person......"

"Kuwajima senior, it's a pity that you didn't let go of the good policeman and ran away to be a farmer......"

"Xiu Yijun, you underestimate the peasants too much, even if you are not a policeman, I will not lower my requirements for myself, you wait, I will send you the mangoes I cultivated every year in the future. I believe that in less than three years, I will be the best fruit farmer in Miyazaki Prefecture......"

"If other people say it, I just think I'm drunk and complaining, but Kuwajima's predecessors are not this kind of people, please rest assured, no matter what difficulties I encounter in the future, I will live well, because I will taste the mango ...... you sent me every year."

……

When Lin Xiuyi opened his eyes on the counter the next day, it was already the time of the rising sun. At this moment, the Kuwajima Police Department has long disappeared. After seeing that Lin Xiuyi finally woke up, the boss, who was packing up the dishes, handed over a letter to Lin Xiuyi along with a red coat of arms. This coat of arms was no different from the one Lin Xiuyi had, but Lin Xiuyi felt that the one of Kuwajima's predecessors was heavier than his own.

Lin Xiuyi pinned the coat of arms left by Kuwashima's predecessors on his body, and then couldn't wait to open the letter.

"Xiu Yikun, please work hard even with my share!

Lin Xiu couldn't control his emotions again, and tears just dripped down the paper......
