170 Tokyo has been rough lately......
"Tomorrow afternoon, right? What do you think? â
In the Maori detective agency during the day, Karasuma Ying was washing dishes in the kitchen, and by the way, she had a phone call with Miwako Sato.
"Well, okay, I'm sorry for you, Officer Sato." Tilting her head and holding her phone between her shoulders, Karasuma replied with a smile.
"Don't say that, this is originally a problem on my side, but it was obviously promised to Xiaoying that you have been delayed again and again...... Really, how do I feel like Tokyo is getting more and more dangerous lately......"
On the other end of the phone, Miwako Sato's tone was quite tired.
The two talked on the phone about what Karasuma Ying had asked Miwako Sato to do in the internal police database to investigate the file of Officer Shirakawa.
Because this is not a file that needs to be kept secret within the police, it didn't take much effort, Miwako Sato dug through all the files of Officer Shirakawa during his lifetime.
Of course, even if it is not a confidential document, these things are not just something that can be handed over to outsiders.
It's just that considering that Karasuma Ying has often been helping the police solve cases recently, and she can be regarded as a right-hand man outside the police establishment, Miwako Sato came up with a compromise solution after weighing it.
She could find a way to bring the files to Karasuma, but Karasuma could only consult them with her by her side, and could not take them with her, nor could she keep them back.
It's a pity that because the work of the Metropolitan Police Department has suddenly become busy recently, the time for Miwako Sato and Karasuma Ying to meet has been delayed again and again.
It took a lot of effort for the police to get a rough picture of the train derailment and explosion two days ago, and as a result, there were several terrorist attacks and kidnapping murders last night......
Recently, Tokyo really doesn't give you any rest......
"Was it the terrorist attack on Rice Flower Square last night?" Karasuma asked casually.
What happened in Rice Flower Square last night, in fact, she only found out after she got up this morning.
There was no particular reason, mainly because it was raining.
Last night, she and Xiaolan Yuanzi didn't bring umbrellas, and they were afraid that it would rain heavily in the future, so they went home early.
"Well, but it's not exactly ......," Miwako Sato felt deeply tired.
In addition to Rice Flower Square last night, there was actually another place where a similar terrorist attack occurred, and its tragedy far exceeded the case of Rice Flower Square.
Of course, due to many complex reasons, the latter's related investigation was completely suppressed by the police, and all police officers who knew about it were given gag orders.
As for what to do after this case, the top management of the Metropolitan Police Department is still discussing.
"Is that so......"
When Karasuma Ying heard this, she remembered a person, the female detective who called herself Shiho Miyano.
She had a vague feeling that this person might have something to do with last night's terrorist attack, but that was just her gut guess, and Karasuma didn't have any evidence to prove it.
The main reason is that before Shiho Miyano stepped on stage last night, he told her to go home early.
For some reason, she always felt that Miyano Shiho's words at that time seemed to have some special meaning.
To make a bold guess, combined with what happened after Rice Flower Square, Shiho Miyano seems to know what will happen next in Rice Flower Square from the beginning, so he specially reminded them to leave?
But what was her motivation for doing so?
Shaking her head, Karasuma Ying didn't think about it anymore, but out of a little worry, she still opened her mouth to remind:
"Officer Sato, if it's the terrorist attack that happened in Rice Flower Square last night, you can try to find that detective named Shiho Miyano."
"Shiho Miyano?" Miwako Sato was stunned for a moment before recalling the name.
This person first appeared at Ed's company's party, but Miwako Sato was knocked unconscious by Kidd's sneak attack at the time, so what happened at the party was actually what she learned from other colleagues later.
The police did not conduct any detailed investigation into this person, only that it seemed to be a detective......
"Well, she also showed up at Rice Flower Square last night, and I always had a feeling that she might ...... It may have something to do with last night's terrorist attack. Karasuma explained with some certainty.
"Understood, I'll investigate later." Miwako Sato replied.
Speaking of which, the content of the call between the two was basically finished, but before hanging up the phone, Miwako Sato still couldn't help but ask the question she wanted to ask before.
"Xiao Ying, why do you want to see Officer Baihe's file?" Miwako Sato asked.
She still couldn't understand why Karasuma Ying had such a strong interest in a police officer who had died in the line of duty twenty years earlier.
"It's just a little curious......" After a moment of silence, Karasuma replied with a smile.
"That's ......"
Knowing that she didn't want to tell the truth, Miwako Sato didn't continue to ask, nodded her head, and hung up the phone.
"I'll see you tomorrow afternoon, and I'll look for you then."
"Hmmm......"
Also hanging up the phone, Karasuma Ying put the phone back in her bag and quickly washed the remaining dishes and chopsticks.
In the living room, Kogoro Mori is squatting behind his desk watching TV, tears in his eyes.
"I'm O'Nimar!"
[Onimal? ã
As soon as Karasuma Ying walked out of the kitchen, she happened to hear the voice from the TV, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Maori Kogoro.
"Mr. Maori, you ...... Are you watching a special camera? Karasuma asked tentatively.
She was a little surprised, she didn't expect Mr. Mori to like watching tokusatsu hero dramas in addition to horse racing and Miss Yoko?
Of course, Karasuma Ying doesn't have any intention of belittling, but in her impression, this kind of TV series full of blood and ideals is generally preferred by children and young people, and middle-aged men generally like to watch more realistic.
"Huh? Uh, that ......"
Hearing the meaning of Karasuma Ying's words, Maori Kogoro hurriedly raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, scratched his head quite embarrassedly, waved his hand and said:
"No, I'm not interested in this kind of hero movie that only children watch, let's say okay first, I'm not moved to cry, Xiaoying, don't get me wrong......
I just wanted to investigate the case last night, so I wanted to see if I could find any clues in the TV series......"
[Mr. Maori is really a very pure person......]
Thinking like this in her heart, Karasuma Ying smiled and didn't poke him.
"By the way, Xiaoying, did you find anything unusual on the stage last night?" Mori Kogoro asked suddenly.
"No, Xiaolan and I came back before the terrorist attack."
"Terrorist attacks? No, I'm asking about the kidnapping of O'Nimar that happened last night......"
"Huh?"
O'Nimar ...... Kidnapping?
What's the situation?
