"This man...... I think it's Officer Shirakawa......"

In the ward, Mori Kogoro saw the photo in Karasuma Ying's hand, was slightly stunned, and said with some emotion.

[White River?! 】

Hearing Maori Kogoro's words, Karasuma looked up sharply and looked at him incredulously.

"Officer White River?"

Hearing this, Mao Lilan asked with some curiosity.

"Dad, do you know the person in this picture?"

When he picked up this photo before, Mao Lilan had already seen the content on it.

There's nothing special about the photo, it's just a full-body shot of a man in a police uniform, smiling, looking very young.

The overall feeling is the same as the photo taken by her father, Mori Kogoro, when he just graduated from the police academy.

"Well, meet ......"

It seems that this photo has brought some kind of memory, and Maori Kogoro's expression is suddenly a little low.

He subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to light it, but immediately remembered that this was a hospital, so he put it away again.

"I had a relationship with Officer Shirakawa when I first entered the police academy and in my first pistol shooting test, I hit the bull's-eye with 20 shots.

I thought it would be the best in the history of the police academy, but my instructor told me that more than a decade ago, there was another person who had achieved the same score as me. ”

"Is that the White River officer?" Mao Lilan was very curious, she rarely heard her father tell the story of him at the police academy.

But speaking of which, it was more than ten years before my father went to the police academy...... Then this officer Baihe shouldn't be too young now, right?

But among her father's friends in the Metropolitan Police Department, she hadn't heard of any of them surnamed Baihe.

"It's him."

Mori Kogoro nodded, "I can't be mistaken, more than ten years ago when I entered the police academy, Officer Shirakawa also scored all the bullseye in the first shooting test.

I asked the instructor later, and in fact, Officer Shirakawa's class not only achieved the best shooting results, but also other results...... He is a very good police officer. ”

"That's amazing! Dad, why haven't I heard you mention this officer before, is he retired? ”

"Retired......

"Daddy?"

Maori Kogoro lowered his head and opened the lunch box, sat on the chair next to him, and was silent for a while before he opened his mouth under Maorilan's puzzled eyes:

"He died, twenty years ago."

"Huh?!"

It wasn't Moriran who made this surprise, but Karasuma Ying.

"Twenty years ago...... Killed? The expression on Karasuma's face was very surprised.

How is this possible? Twenty years ago? 】

"Well, it was the 'Changchun cruise ship bombing case' 20 years ago, a group of armed terrorists used bombs to hijack the Changchun cruise ship full of tourists because of some government problems, and Officer Baihe was on this cruise ship at the time.

Although most of the tourists were rescued in the end with the cooperation of the Baihe police and the police, a small number of tourists sank into the sea together with the Changchun because of the time bomb finally planted by the crime leader.

And this also includes Officer Baihe, who was still on the Changchun at that time. ”

"That, White River...... What about the remains of police officers? Hearing this, Karasuma Ying hurriedly asked:

"How did the police at the time confirm Officer Shirakawa's death? Did the body be recovered? ”

"Hmm."

Kogoro Mori nodded, acknowledging her guess.

"After the incident, the police carried out a large-scale salvage of the Changchun cruise ship, and Officer Baihe's body was found not far from the explosion.

The body was unrecognizable, and police speculated that Officer Shirakawa should have been near the bomb at the time of the explosion.

The police later determined that the body was the body of Officer Baihe based on its size, clothing, documents, and blood type. ”

"Didn't get a DNA test?" Karasuma asked.

"Xiaoying, there was no DNA test at that time, and at most it could only be distinguished by blood type comparison."

Mori Kogoro explained, but Karasuma was still unrelenting, and she was a little anxious to find a hole in Mori Kogoro's words.

"And what about later? Later, after the DNA testing technology came out, did the police try to find Officer Baihe's relatives, and did they go to them for verification? ”

"Officer Whiteriver's parents are long gone."

Mori Kogoro took a bite of the lunch box and patiently explained.

Officer Shirakawa was born during the worst of Japan's economic depression, and his parents died of poverty at a young age.

During that period, the society in Japan was extremely turbulent, and many people's household registration files were messed up, even Officer Shirakawa's own household registration file was made up by himself when he was enrolled in the police academy, and he had no blood relatives. ”

"Blood relatives?"

Karasuma Ying keenly captures the hidden message in Kogoro Maori's words.

"Mr. Maori, what do you mean ......"

"Okay, let's eat quickly, the food will be cold if you ask again."

Mori Kogoro shook his head, he didn't answer Karasuma Ying again, and pulled several bites of the lunch box in a row.

"It's long in the past, and what do you care about it? Oh, but ...... There's one thing that's kind of ironic. ”

As if he suddenly remembered something, Mori Kogoro put down the lunch box, smiled as if self-deprecatingly, and said:

"After the Changchun bombing, the armed crime chief, who was not arrested by the police on the spot, quietly returned to Japan, intending to plan another terrorist attack.

It's a pity that this time, he bumped into a foreign woman. ”

"Foreign women?"

"Well, a very powerful foreign woman, it was she who detected and prevented the terrorist attack in advance, and it was she who helped the police finally arrest the crime leader."

"Then this foreign woman, she ...... later"

"I don't know, she disappeared after the police arrested the criminal leader, as if she appeared to arrest that person......

It's really ironic that the murderer who made the brightest star of the Japanese police fall, we have to rely on the help of a foreigner to arrest him...... Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. ”

Putting down the clean lunch box, Mori Kogoro waved his hand impatiently, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Don't always ask if you have any of these, you two hurry up and eat, I'll go out for a cigarette......"

With that, Mori Kogoro got up to leave, and the moment he walked out of the room, he looked back at Karasuma Ying, who was still staring at the photo.

[It's like it......]

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, and he suddenly noticed it when he saw the photo.

[This kid really looks like Officer Shirakawa......]

But how is this possible?

He was well aware that Officer White River had died in the line of duty twenty years earlier.

Xiao Ying is too young to have anything to do with Officer Shirakawa......

Shaking his head, Mori Kogoro didn't think much more.
