Chapter 6: Sato, Help Me!
"I'm really not robbing, I'm borrowing, borrowing!"
Lunaris Island Police Station, Office.
Katsumi Uehara, who came to the police station to return the car, repeatedly emphasized the nature of the matter, saying that he did not rob the islanders of a stitch.
"It happened suddenly, and there were so many people who wanted to arrest me, I couldn't sit still. I remember that I told the old man that I would pay him back, so I didn't come to return the car. ”
Asumi, who pursed his lips and smiled, sat on the chair he was resting on the side and practiced expression management hard, and Katsumi Uehara, who was facing the veteran policeman at the desk, was still arguing for what he had done before.
How can the act of being told in advance be said to be a robbery?
Besides, he's a policeman.
An old police officer who was basically retired at the Moon Shadow Island Police Station was full of helplessness: "Uehara-kun, although I don't know what case you came to Moon Shadow Island to investigate, can you not make such a big move?"
"Don't mention borrowing a bicycle, do you know how many calls I received from the islanders in the morning?"
Is this how the police from a big city like Tokyo can toss?
Originally, it was for the sake of everyone being colleagues to open a back door and form a good fate, but Katsumi Uehara's behavior of holding chicken feathers as an arrow was somewhat unsophisticated.
He said that he would definitely help the field in the investigation of the case, and the piano sheet left by Aso Kei 22 years ago was the one he helped find out. But who would have thought that Katsumi Uehara would be able to stir up a large number of islanders, and even he would not be at peace with his age.
"Relax your heart Senior Sakai, this is the last time, I have already obtained the hardest evidence, and the next thing is to notify the Metropolitan Police Department to collect the net."
Katsumi Uehara, who no longer dwelled on the things he committed, but instead began to draw a big pie for the old-timers, said step by step: "Strictly speaking, this case would never have been possible without the help of Sakai senior, and when the time comes, the Metropolitan Police Department will definitely write your name in the merit book." ”
Because of his education and background, the old policeman who has basically been commuting to and from work at the Moon Shadow Island Police Station for most of his life suddenly pushed his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose when he heard this, and the slightly reflective lenses obscured his eyes: "Uehara-kun, I'm a person who is about to retire, where do you care about this." ”
"This is a big case with a lot of involvement, and there is definitely a bonus for solving it, and the value is very high."
"Uehara-kun, just let it go, I will deal with the islanders' police calls, and it is our police's duty to fight crime, I understand this."
"No problem, I won't let you down, Sakai-senpai."
Two generations of policemen, one old and one young, reached a consensus with a yearning for the word justice, and the strong handshake saw that the corners of Aji's eyes twitched when he saw it.
Why hadn't he found out that this old police officer on Moonshadow Island still had this side before?
After handing over the borrowed bicycle to the police station and paying a harpoon compensation, Katsumi Uehara left the back door of the police station with Minoru Aji.
"That's what you call a well-thought-out infiltration plan?"
"Isn't it thorough? Just ask you if you have the account book. ”
Asan, who was choked back, couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Then what's next?" Do it again? ”
Of the three ledgers that recorded drug transactions, one of which had already been obtained by Katsumi Uehara, and one was now in his possession, leaving only the last one.
"There's no need, this guy Ken Nishimoto has been autistic two years ago, I think you know this better than me." Katsumi Uehara shook his head, looking up at the sky with a somewhat embarrassed tone.
Twelve years ago, Keiji Aso, his wife, and his daughter burned alive four people, one was directly frightened to death due to heart paralysis because he saw Aji, who reported his identity, and the other is now a mentally ill patient with a very problematic mental state, probably retribution.
Of course, there are two people with strong psychological quality who are still alive and kicking - the capitalist Hideo Kawashima, who is competing for the position of the next village head on the island, and the current village head, Tatsuji Kuroiwa.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji's ledger is in his hands, and Hideo Kawashima's ledger has also been obtained by Asashi. Next, it's time for the police to come out.
"You've also seen the configuration of the Moon Shadow Island Police Station, if we just rely on that old police officer, we won't be able to arrest people." Hearing this, Asumi really stopped, and looked at his determined friend with a little expectation.
"I know, so luckily Moon Shadow Island is still under the jurisdiction of Tokyo and is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department." Katsumi Uehara reached out and pulled his phone out of his trouser pocket, and pressed the redial button without even looking at it.
"Bell Bell Bell !!"
Tokyo, Metropolitan Police Department.
In the office area of the third department of violent crime in the search class, the woman who was sitting in her position and writing the closing report frowned slightly, and took out a vibrating mobile phone from her pocket-
"Uehara, it's too late for you to come back now, and the Dusk Police Department has already gone to the playground to deal with the killing."
Pressing the answer button, the woman's tone was a little helpless: "I tried my best, but Shiratori was in charge of another murder case, so the Twilight Police Department wanted to take you to the scene of the crime, but it turned out that you were not there." ”
“……”
came up with bad news, which directly silenced Katsumi Uehara.
What's the matter, Shiratori is going to be in charge of another murder case?
Hasn't this rich second generation been learning to spin behind the Twilight Police Department?!
Are there so many killings happening in Tokyo at this time?!
Rubbing his eyebrows in distress, Katsumi Uehara adjusted his emotions and opened his mouth to break the earth: "Sato, save me!" ”
"How can I save you? You remembered the wrong time of work and got caught. ”
Miwako Sato, who was leaning on the back of the seat, turned the ballpoint pen in her hand, and there was a bit of hatred in her tone: "If you had listened to me, I wouldn't be like this now." ”
Anyway, she is also the first pure newcomer she brings, and Miwako Sato is still very serious and responsible.
It's a pity that after the end of the novice period, Katsumi Uehara proved with practical actions that he was a good hand at paid fishing, and at a young age, he became an old fritter like the middle-aged bastard policeman in the Metropolitan Police Department.
As the manager of the search for the three departments, Twilight Thirteen is usually very talkative, and has a kind smile on his big round face. But if you want to be caught by him touching the fish scene, then don't blame this Showa macho man who saved JK with blood in the past, and dreams of returning to the peak, this time it can only be said that it is difficult to save the immortals.
"Actually, there's a reason for that, Sato-senpai. The reason why I can't go back to Tokyo is because I'm caught up in a huge drug trafficking murder case, and I'm currently trapped on Moonshadow Island, unable to get out. ”
Taking a deep breath, Katsumi Uehara, who raised his hand to signal Aso to make a real noise, raised his voice and said in an unprecedented solemn tone: "This is probably my last phone call with you." ”
——?!
"Lunaris Island? Aren't you on vacation? What is the situation of Uehara?! ”
Miwako Sato, who smelled a sense of crisis, sensed that something was wrong, and asked in a condensed voice: "This is not the time for Uehara, I-"
"Listen Sato, I don't have much time."
While interrupting Miwako Sato's words, Katsumi Uehara's voice gradually took on a bit of melancholy: "There is a transnational drug trafficking organization on Moonshadow Island, and the leaders of the organization are the current village head Kuroiwa Tatsuji, the capitalist Hideo Kawashima, and the apparently unemployed vagrant Ken Nishimoto.
"I got the ledger of their drug trade on the island for more than ten years, you know what I mean?"
“?!!!”
Miwako Sato's eyes widened suddenly, pinched her phone and whispered: "Don't be impulsive, find a place to hide and hear clearly?!" I'll bring someone to save you right away! ”
"Sato, I-"
"Shut up! You won't die! What do you have to say later! ”
The deep uneasiness came to her heart again, Miwako Sato hung up the phone directly, gritted her teeth and rushed out of the three-department office area as soon as possible.
On Moon Shadow Island, Aso watched his friend hang up the call for help, and helplessly helped his forehead: "...... Is it really good that you lie to your colleague like this? ”
"I'm not a lie, I'm taking precautions, and you should know how dark the hearts of those who dare to sell drugs are."
Katsumi Uehara, who didn't have a smile on his face, put his phone in his pocket: "The disappearance of the ledger won't be hidden for long, maybe this will really be the last time I call." ”
The reason why Masheng was able to kill people in the original time and space was because no one expected that he was actually a man disguised as a woman, and his weak appearance approached the three victims and did not cause them to be vigilant at all.
And now, what is to be exposed is enough to cause them to fight back wildly.
