Ogata looked at Shiho, who seemed to have changed a little, and seemed to see some warmth in the indifference on her face. It's like the success of a real project, and even goes far beyond that feeling, and a hint of excitement and joy wells up from the depths of my heart

He didn't take the initiative to chat with Shiho again, because the whole person seemed to be still immersed in the mood of talking about the name of the address book just now.

The taxi drove up to the two of them, and Ogata and Shiho looked at each other, and the eyes of the two of them were very subtle, because they had their own thoughts, looking at the two open doors in front and back, and there was some hesitation under their feet.

Ogata knew that if he chose to sit in the front passenger seat, he would miss the opportunity to sit in the back seat with Shiho. But if he chooses to sit in the back row, will Shiho be unhappy because of his abruptness? You must know that the relationship between the two of them may not have progressed as fast!

So he's waiting, waiting for Shiho to make a choice first.

Seeing the driver driving, a middle-aged uncle with a European face and a sloppy appearance, shouted a few words impatiently.

Shiho looked at Ogata and said in a faint voice, "Let's sit in the back row together." ”

"Okay." Hearing Shiho's words, Ogata nodded slowly.

When the two of them sat in the back seat, the distance between Ogata and Shiho was even shorter than when the two of them were eating.

"Take us to the Brooklyn Police Department." Ogata, intending to ease the awkwardness between the two of them, spoke first. In standard spoken language, he said to the driver driving in front of him.

The driver made an "OK" gesture and started the car.

Ogata looked at Shiho beside him. And Shiho's eyes also fell on him!

"Can you consider me your friend?" Ogata's eyes mirrored each other's figures. Said calmly.

Shiho was silent for a long time. Shook his head coldly: "I said, we are not all the way, and you will never really understand me." "She's very determined, and she doesn't need the help and companionship of friends in her life at Columbia.

Because she knows very well that once she returns to the life that truly belongs to her one day, it will be a disaster for those around her.

"I can." Ogata blinked. The voice said sincerely: "I feel that I am a very patient person, and nothing will not shake the wall that I originally stood in my heart until the second when I was completely hopeless." ”

Shiho's gaze was stunned, she looked at Ogata carefully, and suddenly moved her face away to look at the scenery outside the car window.

Ogata was still staring at her closely, and he could see the short brown hair shimmering orange-red in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the beautiful lines of the side face and pointed chin

Arrive at the Central Police Station in New York, Brooklyn.

Ogata and Shiho got out of the car. The two men remained silent all the time.

Compared to the Metropolitan Police Department in Tokyo, the building size here is much smaller. But it does not affect its authority.

Walking straight into the police station, they saw all kinds of people coming and going, including detectives in police uniforms, police officers in suits and leather shoes, and people involved in the case who were taking notes and registering.

"What's next?" Shiho looked at Ogata.

Ogata pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Officer, it's me." Ogata spoke in a familiar tone for the first time.

Shiho looked at Ogata from the sidelines, and it seemed that just like he said, he really had an acquaintance at the police station.

Ogata said to the officer on the other end of the phone, "I have something to see you." ”

"Well, I wrote it down, I'll go now!" Ogata nodded slightly and hung up the phone.

Seeing him hang up, Shiho asked, "Your acquaintance?" ”

"Well, a police officer who has been in contact with before, and I'm sure she can help us." Ogata replied.

After he finished speaking, he took Shiho to the elevator entrance of the police station.

After getting on the elevator, Ogata and Shiho each maintained a complementary indifference.

But each other's hearts are clear in the eye.

The elevator door opened, and when he walked out, the oppressive atmosphere was relieved, and Ogata looked at Shiho, who had always kept his head down, and smiled helplessly.

"Hello, may I ask Officer Jo Martinez's office, which side is it?" Ogata stopped a police officer with a stack of jiàns and politely questioned him.

The black police officer glanced at Ogata: "The second office on the left-hand side." ”

"Okay, thank you." Ogata said to him with a smile.

“Jo.Martinez？ Is it a female police officer? Shiho took the initiative to speak.

Ogata nodded: "She's an acquaintance of mine here, and I helped her with autopsies in a few cases." ”

"Oh." Shiho just nodded in understanding.

Ogata walked to the door of an office with the name brand 'JoMartinez' and knocked on it.

"Enter!" A woman's voice rang out.

Ogata and Shiho walked in.

Dressed in a black suit, he is very capable, with long tan hair, a backbone face, and a kind smile. She looked to be about thirty years old, and she wore a wedding ring on her finger, and although she thought she was a woman, she maintained an excellent figure.

This is the JoMartinez that Shiho saw, an acquaintance in Ogata's mouth.

"Long time no see, officer!" Ochi smiled and greeted her as soon as they met.

JO looked at Ogata and said, "Ogata, you're a rarity, it seems like you've never come to the police station to look for me, right?" By the way, is the girl next to you your girlfriend? ”

She and Ogata were not polite, but said like friends, with a slight hint of teasing.

"No, it's my classmate." Ogata hurriedly looked at Shiho to see her reaction, and replied with a slight embarrassment that JO didn't know if it was a joke or if he really read the wrong words.

Shiho didn't seem to react, still with an indifferent expression.

Ogata breathed a sigh of relief, but Shiho glared at him in the next second.

"Ha, it seems that a woman's vision is not necessarily right." JO shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

At this time, Ogata took the initiative to say: "I came to you because a case was found suspicious, so I need to intervene." ”

"The case? Which one? JO LOOKED AT HIM STRANGELY.

"The one at Columbia." Shiho said at this time.

JO was stunned for a moment, and then said helplessly: "There are indeed a lot of cases recently, I need to ask about it." With that, she picked up the phone on her desk and seemed to call a certain department.

Ogata and Shiho waited for a long time, and JO hung up the phone and said, "I just asked about the case you just mentioned. It seems to be an ordinary case defined as a natural death, which has been confirmed by the forensic department and the family has signed an agreement to claim the death, which has come to an end"

"It's a homicide hidden from the illusion of natural death." Ogata said slowly.

JO looked at Ogata's confident expression and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Hmm." Ogata nodded.

JO recalls that in the past few years, whenever there is a strange corpse, he calls back to the Asian forensic doctor in front of him who has not graduated from college for advice. Because only she knows that if it weren't for his amazing 'judgment', she wouldn't have solved strange cases repeatedly.

So Ogata's ability, she is very convinced and sure!

She even thought that the forensic department of the police station would definitely hire this man when Ogata graduated! With him, the case will inevitably be solved.

"Ogata, what do you need?" JO groaned and said.

Ogata was not polite to JO and said directly: "I need to enter the coroner's body where the deceased's body is located and conduct a second autopsy!" ”

"This" JO hesitated, because the medical examiner part was already convinced of the cause of the deceased's death, and at this time she would find it difficult to bring a boy who had not yet graduated to a new autopsy.

Ogata looked at her expression and seemed to read her thoughts.

"Officer, I know, you don't want a suspicious case to be hastily closed right under your nose, right? You must know that the murderer of the deceased may now be like no one else, staying out of the celebration. ”

Hearing Ogata's words, JO finally smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'll show you the way." But you only have one chance to do this, and it's better to check for convincing evidence, otherwise it's hard for me to do it."

"Thank you." Ogata handed over a reassuring smile. (To be continued......)
