Chapter 199: The Famous Detective of the West
After returning from Tochigi Prefecture, Lin Shinichi's life briefly returned to peace.
There were no major cases that he needed to go to, so he fished in the large office assigned to him by the Metropolitan Police Department during the day, and went to Xiao Ai to learn biological knowledge at night.
Two days later, one afternoon, the Metropolitan Police Department.
Lin Xinyi is preparing to continue to play the spirit of Heisei, as long as he doesn't have a job, he will fish and leave early, and go home to stay at home.
But at this time, he had just opened the office door when he bumped into a young man who was about to knock on the door and enter.
"You are?"
Lin Xinyi looked at the young man blocking the door of his office slightly:
Unlike the uniformed officers of the Metropolitan Police Department, and the officers in formal uniforms, the kid in front of him was wearing a casual sportswear, a trendy peaked cap on his head, and a large travel bag behind him.
As soon as I saw this, I knew that he was probably not a staff member of the Metropolitan Police Department.
And although this kid's skin is so dark that he seems to have sunburned, his face still looks young and handsome, and he can see that he is not very old, and he has the temperament of a student.
"You're looking for me?"
Looking at the black-skinned young man in front of him, Lin Xinyi was a little curious.
"I'm Heiji Hattori."
The young man slowly took off his hat, a confident smile on his lips.
Although the tone sounded a little strange, it didn't stop the fighting spirit in his voice at all:
"I'm a high school detective from Osaka."
"You may have heard my name in the newspapers, Hattori of Kansai."
"I haven't heard of it." Lin Xinyi shook his head.
Heiji Hattori: "......"
"Ahem, it's okay if you haven't heard of it..."
This black boy quickly overcame his embarrassment, and said to Lin Xinyi with blazing eyes:
"In short, I'm a detective."
"I heard that Mr. Lin, you are called the 'Terminator of the Detective Era' by the media."
"I'm here this time to discuss with you, the detective's nemesis', as a detective."
Hattori opened his mouth and said another title of middle two that Lin Xinyi had never heard of before.
"Not interested." The corners of Lin Xinyi's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and then he shook his head again.
This time, he simply ignored Hattori Heiji, closed the office door behind him, bypassed the black-skinned boy and walked to the elevator.
After all... Fight the detective?
No kidding, he didn't want to treat the murder as a game.
Someone dies and still opens a betting board in front of someone else's corpse, which is disrespectful to life.
"Alas... Wait a minute! ”
Hattori Heiji flexibly stopped up and blocked Lin Shinichi's way again:
"Mr. Lin, I'm serious."
"Please let me accompany you next time you go to the police, I want to share a high level with you!"
Lin Xinyi didn't speak.
But looking at the black-skinned detective in front of him, his brows were already tightly furrowed:
"Do you think that investigating the case is some kind of children's game?"
"That's not what I meant..."
Hattori shook his head in denial, but his expression didn't seem sincere:
"I'm here for the honor of being a detective."
"The media are touting that the new ideas you bring can end the detective era, and I want to see if that's true."
Lin Xinyi remained silent, but he already had a headache:
It seems that the gin boss bought too much of his hot search.
The media blew him so badly, but in the end he still caused trouble.
This kind of so-called "duel" must not be ignored, otherwise, there may be some messy people coming to find trouble in the future.
So, looking at the enthusiastic gaze of Mr. Heiji Hattori...
Lin Xinyi thought about it for a while, and didn't pay attention to him, but directly opened his throat in this Metropolitan Police Department building and shouted:
"Security, what about security?"
"Where is the security?"
Hattori's expression was a little stunned.
But at this time, many uniformed police officers had already gathered around:
"Steward Lin, what's the matter?"
Lin Xin made a straight face, pointed at the Hattori Heiji with a serious face, and said:
"What else do you ask me? See for yourselves..."
"How did this suspicious guy come to our identification class?"
It's also the base camp of the Tokyo Police.
Not to mention, the Metropolitan Police Department building is located at Sakurada Gate, and the Imperial Palace is located on the other side of the river.
A detective who came out of nowhere would enter the Metropolitan Police Department and entered the Metropolitan Police Department, the old man of the emperor on the other side of the river, can he live in peace?
Therefore, seeing that the black-skinned boy in front of him, who claimed to be still in high school, could stand in front of his office without hindrance, Lin Xinyi was very helpless:
"That's the level of security in the Metropolitan Police Department building?"
"Outsiders can come if they want, and they can leave if they want, public toilets?!"
"Sorry, sorry..."
The police officers were embarrassed by this, and the eyes that looked at Hattori Heiji suddenly became a little unfriendly.
And the abdomen was flat and his face was black, and he hurriedly explained:
"Hey, hey... I'm not a 'suspicious guy'. ”
"I'm a detective, a detective who came here to challenge the forest manager!"
He didn't say that the detective was fine, but as soon as he said the detective, the faces of the police officers were even more ugly:
As a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which has been suppressed by detectives for a long time and ridiculed by the media, except for those old fritters who are used to rubbing detective credit and like to lie down to solve crimes, as long as they are police officers with a slight sense of honor, they will not like detectives too much.
In particular, I also found a forensic class to challenge the forest management officer?
Isn't this the one who came to the Metropolitan Police Department to kick the gym?
"Sir, please come with us."
"We want to know the purpose of your infiltration into the Metropolitan Police Department building."
The officers surrounded them menacingly.
"Huh? Sneak into? Hattori Heiji said very wrongly: "The security of your Metropolitan Police Department is the same as not, I obviously walked in with dignity!" ”
The expressions of the "......" officers were even more embarrassed:
"If you want to come, you will come, where is so much nonsense!"
They rushed up in a chaotic manner and directly set up Hattori Heiji.
"Hey, hey... Wait a minute! ”
Hattori struggled to say anything, but was still farther and farther away by the police.
"Goodbye, Detective."
"I'm still in a hurry to go home, you better find someone else to play the game!"
Lin Xinyi waved at him, turned around and left.
.............................
Heiji Hattori quickly got rid of those officers.
It's not because he used the wisdom of a detective, but because he showed off his awesome dad-
His father, Hattori Heizou, is the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters and a police inspector.
With such a deep background, Hattori Heiji can walk sideways in the police system across the country, and no matter where he goes, everyone has to give his dad a little bit of thin noodles.
In addition, as a detective in Kansai, he is indeed a celebrity who is not too big or small.
After Hattori Heiji signed up for the number, someone among the police recognized this uneasy official N generation.
These little police officers didn't dare to trouble the eldest young master, and they knew that he was not a bad guy, so they let him go casually.
As soon as Hattori Heiji got out, he immediately turned around and continued to track Lin Shinichi.
"Damn... Let him run away in the elevator! ”
"I didn't even respond to the battle head-on, and the police made me trouble... Is this guy despising my ability as a detective, so he doesn't bother to accept my challenge? ”
Hattori hurried to the elevator room, but found that he was already a few steps late, and Lin Shinichi had already taken the elevator down.
He calmed down a little, and then took a closer look at the floor on which the elevator door was displayed:
"On the first floor, the elevator that guy was sitting on stopped on the first floor and started going up."
"And he just said casually that he was in a hurry to go home."
"In order to facilitate the dispatch of the police, the limited surface parking lot of the Metropolitan Police Department is parked for official vehicles, and private cars are generally parked in the underground garage."
"But Lin Shinichi wanted to go home from work, but instead of taking the elevator to the underground garage, he stopped on the first floor."
"This means..."
Hattori Heiji gently rubbed his chin and analyzed the direction that Lin Shinichi might go:
"Instead of commuting by car, he uses public transport or walks to commute."
"The Metropolitan Police Department building is located at Sakurada Gate, and near the Imperial Palace, where the emperor lives, as well as various government agencies such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the High Court, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism."
"It's a place where government offices are concentrated, and it's a lot of distance from the nearest residential area, so it's not easy to get around on foot."
"Then he can only take the bus, taxi, or subway."
Tokyo's rail transit is extremely advanced, and the subway is the most common mode of transportation for citizens compared to the buses that travel slowly on the busy roads in the city center, and the rental prices are still stuck in the big bubble era.
So, even if the information was not perfect, among the three ways of commuting, Heiji Hattori boldly chose the subway.
"Sakurada Gate Station has a lot of traffic, and commuters often lose a lot of time in the station to buy tickets and enter the station."
"I'm chasing after me now, maybe I can catch up with Lin Xinyi!"
"It's just right, I can also take this opportunity to show my reasoning skills, so as not to be despised by that guy."
"As long as he knows that my abilities are different from those mediocre people, he will definitely pay attention to me."
Thinking so in his heart, he hurriedly stepped forward, and with his vigorous skills, ran directly down from the fire escape.
It didn't take long for Hattori Heiji to run out of the Metropolitan Police Department building and come to the nearby Sakurada Gate Station.
Although he never saw Lin Xinyi's back, he believed that his reasoning would not be wrong.
With this in mind, Hattori Heiji relied on his sharp eyes as a detective to carefully search through the crowds of people in the subway station.
Really... In the midst of the crowd, he discovered:
Lin Xinyi was standing in front of a ticket machine with "coins only" written on it, holding his phone to his ear and making calls, while frowning and looking through his wallet, as if he was buying a ticket.
"Officer Lin..."
A smile appeared on the corner of Hattori's mouth:
"We're meeting again!"
