"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

Following.

When Sato's mother, who was blue-faced, was taken to the Metropolitan Police Department by her daughter, who was a police officer, to meet Shuji Kano, who was arrested, the latter lowered his head in shame and made up this apology for being eighteen years late.

"Smack!"

Sato's mother, who was silent, threw out a slap with lightning speed and slapped it heavily on the face of Shuji Shikano, who was close at hand.

Its strength and sound were so loud that the entire temporary office area of the three departments invariably put down the work at hand and followed the prestige, and then withdrew their gaze under the signal of Twilight Thirteen, and continued to pretend to focus on the work at hand.

"Mom!"

Even though he also had an indescribable hatred for Shuji Shikano in his heart, Miwako, who still restrained himself after all, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw this, and turned her head to look at her mother, who seemed to have done nothing just now.

"Eighteen years, Shuji Shikano, you have lied to our mother and daughter for a full eighteen years! You have betrayed the trust that justice has placed in you, for a full eighteen years! ”

Sato's mother, who has always shown a gentle image, was dressed in a traditional kimono, and her fierce questioning made the hearts of the entire office area tremble.

"Mrs. Sato, condolences."

As the head of the third department, Twilight Thirteen coughed slightly embarrassed, and said the routine scene, directly mixing up the slap just now, as if nothing had happened:

"The lost bank cash in the [Chou Si Lang] case has now been recovered, and after investigation and testing by the police and the bank, it has been confirmed that this money is the one that the murderer of the [Chou Si Lang] incident snatched from the bank 18 years ago, and the evidence is conclusive."

“…… I'm sorry, Dusk Police, I lost my temper. ”

Sato's mother, who was staring at Shuji Kano, saw that this man might have been afraid to look up at herself because of shame or other reasons, and after taking a deep breath, she slowly calmed down, and bowed to Twilight Thirteen is standard and thanked her: "Thank you very much for not turning the case of justice into an unsolved case." ”

"Ah no, no, no, actually, this case was notified to me by Sato, and she also arrested the person."

As a boss who is never greedy for credit, Twilight Thirteen busily denies this credit that does not belong to him, and focuses on Miwako Sato as the one who actually arrested the prisoner.

The father was killed, and the daughter arrested the real culprit.

Reasonable, this is the best ending.

Of course, last night's overnight interrogation also made Twilight 13 know who was behind all this.

And just as his eyes drifted to Katsumi Uehara, who was standing next to Shuji Kano, Sato's mother, who was grateful for the twilight thirteen, also took two steps forward and came to Katsumi Uehara, and gave another standard bow of thanks: "Thank you, Uehara." ”

"Auntie, you and I are so familiar with each other, so there is no need to be so polite." Katsumi Uehara, who frantically gave his girlfriend a look but was ignored by the latter, had to take the bow of his future mother-in-law.

"Don't be so nervous, Uehara." Sato's mother, who saw the embarrassment in Katsumi Uehara's heart, had a shallow satisfaction on the corner of her mouth: "This is what I should do." ”

“……”

After Sato's mother was led by Twilight Thirteen to do some closing procedures about the case of Sato's righteous police officer's sacrifice eighteen years ago, Katsumi Uehara, who was relieved, quietly came to his girlfriend's side, elbowed her forearm: "Didn't you know to help me say a word just now?" Are you looking at my jokes? ”

"My mother's temper, you have played mahjong with her so many times, don't you understand? What she wanted to do, even I couldn't stop. ”

Seeing the back of her mother's departure, Miwako Sato squinted at the figure around her who seemed to be a thief: "Why are you suddenly so afraid of my mother?" Didn't you have a good relationship with her before to escort her to the mahjong championship? ”

"Didn't I catch you up before, I have confidence."

As a pig who has picked cabbage at home, when a creature like a mother-in-law suddenly bows to you and says thank you, you will instinctively feel a little weak.

"So let's break up first? Gives you a little more confidence? Miwako, who rarely saw her boyfriend like this, raised her eyebrows and joked.

Katsumi Uehara, who tilted his head, responded with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I'm okay, but I think you should be reluctant." ”

"So confident?"

"Of course, how could I chase you after you?"

After a rhetorical question, without waiting for his girlfriend to respond, Katsumi Uehara returned to his seat and crossed his legs to look at the newly distributed newspaper.

A cup of tea, a cigarette, a newspaper sit for a day.

Although he doesn't smoke, the spirit in it is still perfect.

Miwako, who had seen it all, stood where she was, shook her head with a smile on her eyebrows, and paced back to her desk.

When Takagi, who was holding a large cardboard box, hurriedly pushed the door from the outside, Katsumi Uehara, who was shocked, couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at him: "What are you doing Takagi?" So anxious to get angry? ”

"Isn't this a case I encountered before, the deceased was a rich man, so his family was angry about his death. The Twilight Police Department is now back on the spot to deal with the death of Officer Masayoshi Sato 18 years ago, and I'll have to go through all of these things first. ”

After returning to his seat, he took the tissue handed by Chiba and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and Takagi pointed to the large cardboard box on the table.

Hearing this, Katsumi Uehara couldn't help but be stunned, and then his eyes fell on the newspaper at hand, turned over and pointed to the front page headline and asked, "This case?" ”

"Shock! The president of Rice Flower Town IT Technology Company died tragically at home and was shot eighteen times! 》

A brutal news headline, accompanied by a picture of the mosaic scene that I don't know where I got it, and a big head post in front of the deceased.

Takagi nodded: "Yes, that's the case." ”

The next second, he immediately sensed that something was wrong—"Huh? Why did you end up in the newspaper? No, this case is confidential. ”

"Family, relatives, classmates, friends, or even partners in their company. There are too many news about the death channel of the president of such a large company, and it is impossible to suppress it all, unless Takagi and they solve the case on the spot. ”

Holding a coffee cup and pouting lightly, Shiratori, dressed in a blue suit, commented, "Just like the Maori detectives used to be." ”

"Am I not going to be held accountable for dereliction of duty?"

Takagi with his head in his hands was lying on the table, and his dream was gradually lost in his eyes.

"How is it possible, just catch the murderer in the end."

Chiba, who was chewing potato chips, explained: "Eighteen shots in the body, I'm afraid it's not a revenge seeker, but there is still a lot of revenge, otherwise I wouldn't be so angry." This already belongs to the category of corpse abuse. If you look in this direction, it should be relatively easy to locate the murderer. ”
