Chapter 28 Invitation
Furukawa Kumisa thought for a while, tomorrow is Saturday, and although police officers have to work overtime regardless of weekends, she should be free tomorrow.
So she clicked on the screen and replied: Is Mr. Okiya free during the day tomorrow?
Matsuda Jinpei saw her movements and glanced slightly: "Sending text messages?"
Furukawa Kumisa typed and replied smoothly: "Well, I have an appointment with someone for a cup of coffee."
Matsuda Jinpei observed her expression calmly, and when he received the text message, a smile appeared in his eyes. Although it was shallow, he caught it in his eyes.
He then paused: "...friend?"
Furukawa Kumisa has always been very arrogant in this regard: "Well, the friend I just met is a handsome guy."
When she said the word "handsome guy", she even looked up and smiled at him happily.
Eating delicious food and watching handsome guys are two of Furukawa Kumisa's few hobbies in life.
Due to the existence of the strategy mission, she had not been able to experience the latter for a long time.
Now in the fifth world, she could finally relax properly and no longer have to wander around the target every day.
Matsuda Jinpei looked at the sincere smile on her face. He paused again and again, and finally said: "...you...have a high fever, take a good rest, and eat and drink...lightly."
Furukawa Kumisa rolled his eyes lightly: "Then you are going to find me some extra work?"
Matsuda Jinping choked: "..."
Furukawa Kumisa was stunned for a moment, as if he realized that after relaxing his nerves, his inexplicable affection for Matsuda Jinpei became a little obvious, and then he coughed lightly.
"Ahem, what I mean is...my body is fine. The high fever has gone away. There is no problem anymore."
She put away her phone and continued to look at the case information: "So, Officer Matsuda still thinks this case is suicide? What about the two suspects - Miss Jiecheng and her housekeeper?
"
Matsuda Jinpei answered quickly: "These two people are suspicious, and it does not conflict with the fact that the victim committed suicide.
"We found that the victim Tetsuya Ehara is currently following up on a case involving the source of addictive drugs imported from abroad. This was the reason for his previous business trip abroad."
Furukawa Kumisa had already seen this case when he was investigating Tetsuya Ehara. Although it was very suspicious, it had nothing to do with the organization - after all, there were as many gangsters in Neon as dogs, and the organization couldn't be blamed for everything.
"Officer Matsuda suspects that Tetsuya Ehara's death is related to the case he is investigating?"
"His blood relatives had immigrated abroad a few years ago, and he didn't have many friends around him, and he didn't have close friendships with his colleagues. But when we traced his account, we found that starting from about six months ago, he had made many property transfers one after another.
"
Matsuda Jinpei frowned: "It looks like he knew what big trouble he had gotten into, so he arranged for his family to escape, and transferred his property. The last person stayed in the country, and finally found that he could not escape after all, so he chose to commit suicide.
"Those two people should be the killers who were chasing him, but the victim had already committed suicide one step ahead of them. When they saw that the mission was completed, they retreated directly."
...If it weren't for the wrong timing, Furukawa Kumisa would have wanted to applaud him. He was almost one step away from the truth.
But she won't let him take this last step.
So she put down the information in her hand and looked up at Matsuda Jinpei: "If this is the case, I would suggest that Officer Matsuda directly close the case as a suicide and don't mention anything else in the report."
Matsuda Jinpei's breath was stagnant: "What's the reason?"
"The people in the Matori Department are different from us. They are exposed to darker and more sinister things. This victim is now in the position of the head of the department, but he is still forced to end his life in such a tragic way.
"This is enough to show that there is a huge and bottomless organization behind the person who is chasing the victim."
Furukawa Kumisa picked up the milk tea on the table and took a sip. Tsk, it’s too sweet.
"Such an organization cannot be shaken by a few of us police departments relying on just one case report."
Furukawa Kumisa looked at Matsuda Jinpei's gloomy expression and knew how far he had achieved his goal, so he kept up his efforts.
"Out of concern for Officer Matsuda's safety, I suggest that it is best to protect yourself in this matter."
Seeing that Matsuda Jinpei's face was getting darker and darker, her goal had been achieved, so she picked up the things on the table and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
"Officer Matsuda said he would help repair the surveillance. I will try my best, but I may not be able to succeed."
The sound of "ta da da da" footsteps gradually faded away. Matsuda Jinpei looked at Furukawa Kumisa's leaving back and rubbed his brows a little irritably.
"Be wise and protect yourself"... It is hard to believe that such words would come from "her" mouth.
No, neither "she" nor Furukawa Kumisa seems like someone who would say such a thing.
Any fair-minded police officer he was familiar with would not conceal part of the truth about a case just to "protect his own safety".
But she just said it.
If it's "her"...
"She" would probably clench her fists and encourage him with a smile: "Matsuda-senpai, don't worry and do it! We will all support you!"
She prefers milk tea to fruit tea, doesn't like to eat custard buns, and there are other things that don't suit "her" personality.
It seemed that everything was telling him that Furukawa Kumisa had nothing to do with "her".
But... his eyes fell on the milk tea on the table.
She took a sip of her favorite "milk tea" from beginning to end, and after that sip, he could clearly see her frowning, as if she couldn't stand the sweetness.
There was also the custard bun. He saw her eyes lingering on it for a few seconds before slowly moving away.
As for the last words... Furukawa Kumisa is not a person who likes to show his emotions on his face. It is difficult for him to judge her true thoughts. He just instinctively feels that this is not what she really wants to say.
——Unreasonable and instinctive denial.
His thoughts and guesses were already bold, even bizarre and unfounded. Now that the clues he had tried were ambiguous and the conclusions were specious, he only felt more headache.
He sighed deeply and moved his eyes to the file.
Forget it, let's handle the case first.
When Kumisa Furukawa walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department building, the system said somewhat strangely: "Why did the host persuade Matsuda Jinpei like that in the end?"
"Because I know I can't persuade him."
"ah?"
"Matsuda Jinpei is not a person who will be persuaded to quit by the saying of 'protecting oneself wisely'. It doesn't matter what I say. He will truthfully hand over the report of the case - Ewara Tetsu also committed suicide, but there are intricacies involved behind it.
.”
This case will eventually end as a "suicide", but all kinds of weirdness will also be recorded, and will be liquidated on the day the organization is destroyed.
Hmm... Bourbon stood in court and was accused one by one, unable to defend himself. Just thinking about it makes people -
Furukawa Kumisa raised the corners of her lips.
——My blood is boiling.
"Then why does the host bother?"
"Maybe...a woman's sixth sense. I think Matsuda Jinpei is a little weird today."
"What's weird?"
Furukawa Kumisa thought for a moment, then shook his head and did not answer the system's words.
No matter what she says, the system will only answer her that there is no "Kawasaki Ryoko" in this world.
But her intuition told her...this matter was not that simple.
It's best that this is just her suspicion, but in the future, it is better to stay away from Matsuda Jinping, Furukawa Kumisa thought with some regret.
Meeting an old friend by chance in a new world should be something to be thankful for. She also wanted to reestablish a relationship with Matsuda Jinpei and become his new friend with a new identity.
But this is based on the premise that there is no risk of her falling off the horse - her strategy task can be completed in only one world, and she can escape from such a life and go back to live a normal life. She does not want to cause trouble.
So the next day, the system looked at Furukawa Kumisa, who had dressed up carefully and was sitting in a coffee shop, sipping coffee, waiting for Subaru, and it was hard to say anything.
System: "...Is this what you mean by not wanting to cause complications?"
Furukawa Kumisa flipped her hair reservedly, "I don't want to cause trouble, which means I don't want to have anything to do with the targets of the previous worlds. This Okiya Subaru is not my target. Is there anything wrong with me asking him to have a cup of coffee?"
"
System: ...Forget it, anyway, I haven't met the target of capture, Jiangu Ling, yet, and the host has already made a plan to gain favor, so don't restrict her with other trivial matters.
Furukawa Kumisa took advantage of the time before Subaru Okiya arrived and took a look at the coffee shop out of habit.
Saturday afternoon is the busiest time in the store, and now it’s close to dinner time. The store is full of people and the atmosphere is very noisy.
Amid the commotion, a little girl sitting alone at the next table stood out.
Furukawa Kumisa took another look. Unlike children of that age who love dresses, the little girl was wearing a light-colored shirt and trousers, a very simple outfit, but she had an exaggerated huge bow on the neckline, so big that she almost
Her chin is well covered, and it is pink and tender, which is a style that little girls of this age like.
The little girl did not have long hair, her shoulder-length short hair was slightly curled, and she was drinking a cup of iced coffee in her hand.
She was sitting alone on the seat next to Furukawa Kumisa, without any adults around her, and she looked very eye-catching.
She just sat quietly, taking out her phone from time to time to play the mini-games that came with it, as if she was waiting for someone.
Probably the parents went out for something and left their children in the coffee shop to wait.
Thinking of this, Furukawa Kumisa sighed: "System, I think I already have an occupational disease of being an undercover agent."
"What occupational disease?"
"For example, when you go to a new place, you should first look around to see if there are any suspicious people following you."
"...Isn't this what it should be?"
Yes, as an undercover agent of the three red and black spies, or as a raider carrying a system, this should be her instinct to survive.
She sighed and didn't answer.
With a "ding" sound, the wind chime on the door of the coffee shop rang, the door opened, and a man wearing a turtleneck sweater walked in.
Chapter completed!
