“カソォ”

“カソォ？ What is it? ”

"I don't know! This is a word that my father wrote in his workbook at the time! Since judging from my father's accounts before and after, this word is very closely related to the incident, so my mother and I were asked several times by the criminal police at the time, have you heard your father say this word? ”

"And then?"

"But I hadn't heard it once, and I didn't understand what it meant, and I remember staring at these three words very hard when I was a child, and thinking about them very hard! Pity...... If anyone can solve this mystery and arrest Chou Silang, then I am willing to do anything for that person and fulfill all his wishes! ”

"All wishes?"

Sato, who originally provided Yuichi with clues, looked at Yuichi's frowning brows and knew that maybe Yuichi didn't know the meaning of this word, and she originally had a hint of fantasy about Yuichi of the Metropolitan Police Department, and she sighed unwillingly after a wry smile.

However, a prayer under her helplessness made almost everyone at the scene can't help but think about it.

"Do anything?"

"Fulfill all your wishes?"

Hearing this exclamation, Takagi and Shiratori immediately made up a wedding dress in their minds, and Sato, who was wearing a wedding dress, looked at him shyly.

"This ...... It's amazing! I'm going to get this one of you! ”

And compared to these two hungry scumbags, as a child's Yuan Tai, they are much purer...... Well, it's too much for Sato.

"Wow! I want 1,000 servings of eel rice, is that okay? ”

"Absolutely!"

"I'm going to live in a castle in Tropics!"

"I want a ticket to the International Cosmos Car Store!"

"I want Prada's latest bag!"

"Can I get a ticket to this World Cup?"

"This ...... Can...... OK! Either way! Hehe! ”

Seeing that the little ghosts who hadn't found a single hair in front of them were already discussing their wishes with each other as if they were waiting for Sato to cash in the prize, Sato, who smiled bitterly, looked at her own colleagues behind her, she hadn't forgotten that the main purpose of her waiting for someone to come out was to check the arson scene.

However, what made her speechless was that the three men behind her, one was bowing his head in contemplation, while the other two, with a lewd look on their faces, did not know what to think, and the crystal liquid overflowing from the corners of their mouths was almost dripping onto their suits.

"Hey! It's time for us to go, right? ”

Sato, who couldn't bear it anymore, smashed his fist on the hood of Yuichi's car, and the loud sound startled Takagi and Shiratori, who had already made up their brains that their children were about to be born, and finally returned to reality. And Yuyi, who saw this scene, touched the pit on the hood of his car painfully and cried silently.

Just when Yuichi was about to euphemistically mention to Sato about the maintenance of his car cover, just where Sato put flowers, several old people who were supporting each other and walking from the opposite road actually put flowers there, and silently bowed their heads and prayed.

Seeing this scene, he remembered the problem he had just thought of, and he didn't bother to talk to Sato about the maintenance fee, so he immediately pushed Sato next to him.

"Hey! Sato! Do you know those people? ”

"How many people?"

Following the direction that Yuichi pointed, Sato saw the strange combination of three men and one woman, and after frowning and thinking for a while, Sato, who thought of something, immediately ran over excitedly.

"Uncle Saruto! Uncle Shikano! Uncle Pig Protection! Aunt Divine Bird! It's been a long time! Several! ”

"Huh? You are? ”

"It can't be Miwako, right?"

"That's me!"

"Oh my God! It's so big! ”

"Huh? Do you know? ”

Seeing that Sato really chatted with those people, Yuichi, stared at the few people carefully and looked at them carefully, and leaned over pretending not to know all this.

"Yes! These are my dad's friends from my dad's high school baseball team! ”

Sato, who heard Yuichi's inquiry, immediately happily explained to Yuichi and the others, and Yuichi, who was interested in contacting these people, asked Sato, who was the intermediary between the two sides, to introduce each other to each other.

Sato, who didn't feel anything wrong, smiled and happily accepted the offer.

"This is my dad's best partner, Mr. Saruto Hidero, a pitcher who claims to know eighteen pitching moves!"

"Hello everyone!"

"This is Mr. Shuji Kano, the strongest guerrilla known for his strong arm strength and fast foot range!"

"Hey! Everybody! ”

"This is the fourth stick you can trust, Mr. Inoho Mitsuo!"

"Hahaha! It's over! ”

"And, of course, our beautiful team manager, Miss Butterfly!"

"Tell me more! Ugly! They are all old women who are almost 50 years old! ”

"Hahaha! Where? My Aunt Divine Bird will always be a great beauty! ”

With Sato's lively atmosphere, these friends from her father's high school days also got to know her colleagues, chatted with each other a few more times, and asked them to take care of Sato for a long time.

Remembering that Sato, who had come to see his father several times before and had not seen these people, he suddenly asked.

"Uncles and aunts, why did you suddenly remember to come and see my father today? If I knew you were coming, I'd pick you up! ”

Hearing Sato's words, Saruto Hidero immediately waved his hand and refused.

"Alas! Miwako! We just think it's been a long time since we've seen you all today! I just want to get together for a drink! Just come here to say hello to Captain Sato! ”

"Yes! If he hadn't invited him, he would have been as angry as before, right? ”

"Hahaha! Definitely! ”

"By the way, we're still drinking at the izakaya, and if you're done with work, you can come and sit down!"

Following Saruto's words, the other people made fun of the deceased Sato Masayoshi, and the four people who said hello to Sato left the intersection together and went to drink laughing.

Looking at the four people who left, Yuichi sighed with a complicated face.

"The relationship between them is really good!"

"Yes! Dad was with the four of them when he was alive! After all, we are all friends from school! It's still a club! It's a pity ......"

"Yes! It's a pity! If they really have a good relationship, even if one of them disguises himself, the other people can recognize this person by some of their usual small details, right? ”

"Huh? Kudo Police Department! What do you mean? ”

Sato, who was lamenting the interesting stories and friends of his father's life, listened to Yuichi's emotion, slowly came back to his senses, and asked with a face full of disbelief.

"What do I mean, I believe Miwako you already have an answer in your heart, right? Just now I was thinking about a question, since no one can find this robber based on the clues left by the robbers, then how did Sato, your father Sato Masayoshi, lock up this robber and call him out of his sorrowful thoughts? Taking a step back, let's not talk about who this sorrowful man is, since your father kept shouting at that person until someone called the police and called an ambulance, then at least it can prove that your father knows this person, right? If you exclude that your father inadvertently saw this person's face, then it is more suspicious that you can determine who the other person is by the details of the acquaintance? ”

Sato, who heard Yuichi's analysis, suddenly froze in place, because she actually found that Yuichi's reasoning could also be said in the past, maybe it might be true...... Is it an acquaintance who committed the crime?
