"Chief Cabinet Secretary, we just received the news...... a few minutes ago...... Goro Sakuraba, a suspect who escaped from the Tokyo detention center, uploaded a video on YouTube......"

"Huh?"

Hearing the secretary's whispering in her ear, Keiko suddenly raised her hand to interrupt the meeting that was taking place, and then ...... He said bluntly to the secretary:

"Cut that video in......"

"Hey!"

After getting Keiko's permission, the picture of Sakuraba Goro immediately appeared on the big screen in the venue, and I only heard Sakuraba Goro say in a weak tone in this video:

"My name is ...... Goro Sakuraba, currently ...... I am currently a prisoner serving a sentence in the Tokyo Detention Center, what I want to talk about today...... and together with what happened twenty years ago...... Sensational murder case related ......"

……

"What is he talking about? What case is he talking about!"

"Ah...... I'm sorry! That ...... Twenty years ago...... Ginza Imperial Hotel, ah...... It's the case of a councillor murdering a barmaid!"

"What...... get the information on that case right away, and ...... Immediately track down the location where the video was filmed, and definitely not let Shoji Kuroda escape again......"

"Hey!"

……

While the Metropolitan Police Department is anxious about the escape from the Tokyo detention center, Akemi takes her mother to Matsuan, a new Wagyu restaurant she and her friends open in Shinjuku, and tries to please this eccentric mother.

"Why can't I go to a restaurant that runs French cuisine? You should know what I like!"

"Of course, Mom, but now that you're in Japan, you've flown all the way here, don't you really want to try the much-praised Wagyu beef here?"

"Wait a minute, let's say okay first, I won't invest in your restaurant, I'm already very difficult to take care of the castle and winery left by your grandmother......"

"I see, Mom, can we stop talking about that? Why don't you try the main Wagyu barbecue first?"

……

Akemi said as her eyes looked through the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the Shinjuku Central Police Station, which was not far from here. At this moment, a large number of police cars happened to be dispatched at the main entrance of the Shinjuku Office, and Akemi couldn't help but be a little curious when she saw this scene.

"Ah...... Why are you so busy today, is it ...... Is something going on?"

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her daughter suddenly looking at the building in the distance, Akemi's mother couldn't help but ask her a little strangely:

"What's the matter, dear...... Is there something going on?"

"Ah...... It's nothing! just suddenly remembered something, that ...... Let's order first!"

While Akemi was talking, Sakurako, the manager of Matsuan, heard Akemi rushing over with her mother, and hurriedly came out of the kitchen to greet the other party.

"Lady Isabelle, it's a pleasure for you to be a guest at Song'an, and I was taken care of by you at your house last time!"

"Ah...... Aren't you Akemi......'s friend, Miss Sakurako? You've become an amazing barista now!"

"There...... You've won a prize!"

……

It is rare to meet an acquaintance in Japan who can communicate fluently in French, and Mrs. Isabel immediately chatted with Sakurako, but ...... Soon...... Sakurako noticed the unusual scene of police cars from the Shinjuku Central Police Station not far away.

"Wait a minute, ma'am, something seems to have happened!"

"Eh, do you mean the police cars? Police cars have been passing by since ...... just now."

"Hey, isn't it...... Don't you know? The police station over there is ...... The place where Mr. Lim served as Director. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Sakurako's explanation, Mrs. Isabel immediately understood why Akemi kept looking over there, so she suddenly put away her indifferent expression in the past, and then said to Akemi in a gentle tone:

"If you're worried, just give a call!"

"Huh?"

"You can go and make a phone call to say hello, even ordinary friends should be concerned!"

"Ah, thank you, Mom?"

Hearing her mother's abnormal words, Akemi couldn't accept it for a while, but she still quickly grabbed this and sent it back to call. And Sakurako said a few more words to Akemi's mother, and then went down to prepare the dishes first.

……

"Ah...... I don't know what's going on outside, but the Shinjuku Central Police Station on the opposite side suddenly dispatched a lot of police cars!"

In the kitchen of Matsuan, a waitress who works outside said with some concern as she handed over the menu to her kitchen colleague.

"Eh, don't you know? There was a prison escape in Katsushika Ward, and the escaped prisoner uploaded a video to YouTube!

……

Katsumasa, who was busy, heard that there was a prison break in Katsushika District, and couldn't help but look at this side with some curiosity, the little brother who worked with Yamaoka may have been a little excited to chat with the woman in the store at the same time, and quickly found out the video. Katsumasa Yamaoka, who was working not far away, also heard the recording.

"Twenty years ago...... Ginza Imperial Hotel ...... I hadn't been born yet, so ...... What the hell is going on?"

"This ...... I don't know, but looking at the comments below, it seems that it was a case of a certain congressman who killed a waitress who worked at a Ginza club!"

"Huh...... What a terrible man, he actually killed someone, it must be because of an extramarital affair or something!"

"Who knows, I just saw it by chance, but...... If Mr. Yamaoka, I might have an impression, Mr. Yamaoka?"

"Well, I don't remember much, twenty years ago...... I'm sorry about the Ginza Imperial Hotel...... I'm not impressed anymore!"

Yamaoka Katsumasa was suddenly asked by his colleague about the case twenty years ago, and quickly prevaricated. In fact, Yamaoka not only knew about this case, but even he had a deep friendship with Mr. Hojo, the suspect in this case.

"I'm sorry, I'm ...... It occurred to me that there was something that needed to be dealt with, that ...... Can you help me talk to the administrator, and just say I'll go back first!"

"Eh? Shan Gangsan...... That's not good!"

"Please, I...... I'll be back soon!, just in a moment!"

"Really? Okay, I'll explain it to the administrator for you!"

Hearing that the other party promised to help, Yamaoka Katsumasa couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he hurriedly took off the apron around his waist. Then he ran straight to the locker room.
