Chapter 3: The Missing Saxophonist

One big difference between going to a concert and going to a movie is that there are high requirements for the audience's dress. As the time approached, many spectators in blue uniforms sat in their seats one after another, but the small area where Prosecutor Gen Zhizhu was located seemed to be the most unpopular area. Several colleagues who had come to the concert with their families immediately avoided him as soon as they saw him sitting here. Of course, this is also understandable, after all, if the next seat is this finger-wrenching guy, no one can enjoy music easily.

"I didn't expect there to be a seat so late?"

It wasn't until the concert was about to start that Lin Xiuyi hurried over to meet Reina and Miki. However, when he saw the empty seats around him, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Didn't you say that tickets for the concert were very popular? Why didn't so many people come?"

Lin Xiuyi asked Miki curiously. Miki gave Lin Xiuyi a color, and then quietly pointed to the position next to Reina. Lin Xiuyi looked in the direction that Miki was pointing, and suddenly saw the most unpopular guy in the Metropolitan Police Department, and suddenly understood what was going on.

However, at the same time that Lin Xiu looked at Inspector Yuan Zhizhu, the other party also noticed Lin Xiuyi's gaze, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other. Although Lin Xiuyi also had the idea of avoiding Yuan Zhizhu, no matter what the other party said, it was a vigilance, so Lin Xiuyi had to nod politely to the other party.

Yuan Zhizhu returned the salute to Lin Xiuyi with an expressionless face as usual, and then turned his gaze to the stage in front of him, ignoring Lin Xiuyi and his companions.

Miki quietly said to Lin Xiuyi:

"I'm afraid the police dogs won't want to sit with him!"

Lin Xiuyi nodded approvingly, and then tried his best to hold back the smile in his heart.

……

Although the Metropolitan Police Department Music Ensemble is not a professional symphony orchestra, it has the strength to be inferior to a professional symphony orchestra. The Metropolitan Police Department Music Team is a subordinate branch of the General Affairs Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, and if you are familiar with the inner workings of the Metropolitan Police Department, you will know that the General Affairs Department is like a nerve center in the Metropolitan Police Department.

This department is in charge of the personnel and financial affairs of the Metropolitan Police Department, including personnel evaluation, promotion, department setting, external publicity, equipment development, and funding planning. In fact, according to the usual practice, an elite bureaucrat like Lin Xiuyi was supposed to work in the General Affairs Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, but in the end, due to various reasons, Lin Xiuyi came to the Criminal Department instead and became a member of the search section, which has to be said to be a fateful arrangement.

Being able to be directly under the command of the General Affairs Department shows how much the Metropolitan Police Department values this music team. Because people who are familiar with symphony orchestras cannot be hired through the regular civil service examination. Therefore, most of the members of the music team are professionals who have entered the Metropolitan Police Department through special channels, and the treatment is naturally nothing to say.

As the time for the show arrived, the members of the orchestra in blue uniforms on stage were ready. The conductor of the orchestra slowly came to the center of the stage, led all the members of the orchestra to bow deeply, and then he walked to the conductor's platform, turned around, raised his hands, and the scene suddenly fell into silence.

The Metropolitan Police Department's regular performance venue is not on the Sakurada Gate, but at the open-air concert hall in Hibiya Park. In addition to bad weather conditions, the Metropolitan Police Department Music Ensemble's concert is held every Wednesday at noon every spring and autumn, and the Wednesday concert has become a popular theme among Tokyo citizens for decades. Because of the frequent performances, the band has gradually developed its own regular fans and classic repertoire. For example, "Metropolitan Police Department March", "March of the Sword Drawing Team" (this song was produced during Japan's Southwest War period and has nothing to do with the invasion), "Majestic March" and so on are all programs of the Metropolitan Police Department Music Team, in addition to some classic soundtracks from the famous anime work "Detective Conan" are also often played by the Metropolitan Police Department Music Team.

The concert finally began as the majestic "Metropolitan Police Department March" sounded in the venue. As members of the Metropolitan Police Department, Lin Shuichi and Miki involuntarily straightened their backs and sat upright in their seats to show respect.

Unfortunately, the audience didn't know it, although the performance on stage was still as wonderful as usual. But at this time backstage, the band's leader, Hamasaki Densuke Police Department, was anxious and restless like an ant on a hot pot. And all this is because the saxophonist Yuto Urashima in the band has not been seen until now.

Today is the Metropolitan Police Department's open day, and many of the people who come to the concert are elementary and middle school students who are on spring break. There's no better track than the Detective Conan theme song for this occasion. However, there is a large saxophone solo melody in the theme song of "Detective Conan" that needs to be performed, and now the performers are not in contact, so how can the Hamasaki Densuke Police Department not be in a hurry?

"Bastard, this unreliable Urashima, doesn't he remember that there was a show today......?

"Urashima's phone is turned off......"

"This bastard ......"

Densuke Hamasaki slapped the table hard, wishing that he would beat Urashima Yuto hard right now.

The repertoire of the concert is announced in advance, and if it cannot be performed at that time, it will bring great damage to the good reputation that the Metropolitan Police Department Music Troupe has accumulated over the years. Therefore, Hamasaki Densuke must quickly think of a way to come out.

"There's no time, hurry up and send a car to bring Sakabe-senpai to deal with it!" After thinking about it, Hamasaki finally decided to invite the retired Metropolitan Police Department music team saxophonist back to deal with it, so I have to talk about today's day first.

With the rush in the background, Hamasaki Densuke hurriedly called to get in touch with Sakabe's seniors, and then sent someone to notify the front, temporarily adding a few music excerpts to delay as much as possible, at least until Sakabe's seniors arrived here before continuing the later tracks.

At this moment, Urashima Yuto, who had put the Metropolitan Police Department's open day concert in a great crisis, was sitting in an izakaya near his residence, secretly staring at the man sitting in front of him on the right, while his saxophone bellows lay quietly on the tatami mat beside him.

With a cold beer, Urashima slammed up from his table and walked straight towards the man.

"Yuta Matsune, let's arrest him! I've already notified the police nearby!"

Just as Urashima Yuto put his hand on the man's shoulder, he was suddenly pressed down on the counter by the other party, and then, a cold pistol was pressed against Urashima's temple.

"Phew!"

A crisp gunshot pierced the night sky, and the diners in the izakaya immediately scattered and ran outside......
