Someone is looking at themselves.

Almost instantly, Katsumi Uehara, who was more familiar with the telescope, realized this.

Although the reflection was only a fleeting moment.

"What's wrong, Katsumi?"

It was the first time for Miwako Sato, who had participated in such a high-end banquet, and she suddenly became puzzled when she saw her boyfriend suddenly standing motionless.

Looking in the direction he was looking, she didn't see anything of note other than the people walking back and forth in the meeting.

"Someone was looking at me with a telescope just now, in the room in the building in front left."

Katsumi Uehara, who casually put the champagne aside, raised his hand and pointed out the position: "I'll go and see what's going on." ”

"What did you say?"

Miwako Sato, who never expected to get such an answer, suddenly frowned: "I understand, I'll help you look outside, you be careful." ”

As a police officer, Miwako Sato's instinct tells her that this is not quite right.

This is a banquet hall, if you want to meet people, just come up and make friends generously, hide in the room and use binoculars to see what's going on?

"Hmm."

After giving his girlfriend a reassuring look, Katsumi Uehara walked straight towards his destination.

Miwako Sato took a sip of champagne with her head down, and secretly glanced at Teiji Moriya, who was talking to Maori Kogoro and his party not far away.

This banquet was organized by him, and everyone was invited by him.

If anything was out of the ordinary, the famous architect was her first suspicion.

"He seems to have spotted us."

At the edge of the room window, Plumia raised an eyebrow, put down the telescope she had received from Minamihara Mona, and casually stuffed it into her pocket, ready to take it out later.

"He's really sensitive to things like being stalked and watched, and I have a say in that."

Minamihara Mona, who had followed the man during her time at the police academy, was not surprised, but stopped Placea after noticing her hidden things - and then snatched the small binoculars.

"Don't put it in your bag, his kind of person who doesn't play by the rules may find some surprise to check at any time if he doubts you."

After hiding all the equipment, Minamihara Mona got up, and a maid outfit was enough to explain what identity she used to sneak into the Moriya Emperor's Manor.

Pramila pouted noncommittally: "You really know him. ”

"Don't ink, it's time to go."

After finding the handbag that Teiji Moriya kept in this room, Minamihara Mona directly stuffed the small binoculars in his hand into it.

When Katsumi Uehara arrives, he is greeted by a busy maid working back and forth. Behind this maid, there are also several maids in and out of various rooms changing sheets and bedding.

"I'm sorry sir, but you can't go in here unless you can get permission from Mr. Moriya."

At the moment of seeing Katsumi Uehara, a dutiful maid suddenly put down the work she was doing, got up and came up to block it.

"Oh, yes. Well, excuse me, where is the bathroom? I may be lost. ”

Katsumi Uehara showed an embarrassed but polite smile, and offered the Dafa of Urine Escape, and the maid who heard the words was very enthusiastic to show him a clear way.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, Officer Uehara."

"You know me?"

"Of course, I watch the news. Not only me, but my brother admires you. Ah, let's not talk about it, Officer Uehara, I have to go to work first, or I'll be scolded later. ”

The maid, who seemed to have thought of something, patted her head, and with a little distress between her eyebrows, she drooped her face, and after reluctantly saying goodbye to her idol, she pushed the cart covered by heavy sheets and left.

Katsumi Uehara, who pretended to leave, deliberately slowed down, and when he saw the maid walk in front of him, he glanced back at the corridor where no one was walking for the time being—

Just a few steps past, I happened to bump into a maid pushing a futon cart and walking out of a nearby room.

“……”

Looking at each other, Katsumi Uehara, who was slightly embarrassed, coughed: "Cough, that, I'm sorry Miss, where is this bathroom going?" I seem to be lost. ”

"Oh, just go this way, turn left at the end of this corridor and you'll see the bathroom sign, sir."

The polite maid lady turned sideways and moved out of the way, pointing to the end of the corridor where ordinary people could not enter.

——？！

The moment he heard this answer, Katsumi Uehara's face changed suddenly, and he turned his head and chased in the direction where the "maid" had left!

"Huh? Mr? Mr?! ”

The unknown maid called out loudly behind him, but Katsumi Uehara, who was bent on chasing, didn't have the heart to turn back at all, and ran all the way along the route that the maid who stopped him before-

It's a pity that in the end, it was a step too late.

A cart in the open space was reflected alone in the man's pupils, and a set of maid's clothes was scattered on the ground.

Katsumi Uehara paced forward, but unexpectedly saw a rectangular piece of paper on top of his clothes, with a line written on it: [I'm sorry to disturb you, respected Officer Uehara. You and I have different businesses, so please don't meddle with things. 】

The business is different?

Rubbing the card in his hand, Katsumi Uehara's eyes narrowed slightly.

Not long after, Teiji Moriya learned the news of his family's burglary-

"After an inventory, a total of about 300 million yen worth of precious jewelry was lost."

After calling the police, the second division of the search department, which has rich experience in catching thieves, took over the case.

Teiji Moriya's face was ugly.

He was in a good mood, and at today's banquet, he tried out the password of the powder magazine with the help of the child next to Maori Kogoro, but in the blink of an eye, the family was a thief.

The whole banquet witnessed the embarrassment of the thieves in his house.

What the hell, what are those security guards who paid a lot of money for?!

…………………………………………………………………………

"The prisoner was probably in his twenties and thirties, melon seed face. He has short hair and is about the distance to the base of his ear. ”

Facing his colleague in the second class, as the only man in the scene who had met with the thief, Katsumi Uehara described the "maid" he saw: "She was wearing a maid outfit and flat shoes, and she should have been about 1.65 meters tall.

"The face and body are relatively ordinary.

"Oh yes, there's a tear mole under the corner of her left eye."

"Is that so, Uehara?"

The colleague in charge of the survey held up a portrait, but it didn't look like it to Katsumi Uehara.

At the same time, in an apartment in Tokyo.

Returning to the landing point, Minamihara Mona tore off the extremely realistic human skin mask on her face in one fell swoop, opened the curtains, and looked up at the scorching sun hanging above the sky outside the window, allowing the sunlight to spill into the messy room in an instant.

On the chaotic floor, a large pile of bottles and cans with nameless labels are lying around, which is particularly eye-catching.

PS: I was temporarily thrown out on a business trip last week, and I just came back by plane last night.

Phew, this time it's really overtime.

There will be ~around nine o'clock tomorrow night

After that, the daily update is basically around nine o'clock in the evening~
