"Is this your first time here? Do you want to have a drink together?"

When a tall woman wearing a glamorous evening dress slowly sat next to Ichiro Furuta, Ichiro casually took out the police report from his pocket, and then said in a businesslike tone:

"Is this Ms. Shiraishi Reiko? I'm so sorry, search lesson one! I made a special visit today because I want to ask you about something in person!"

"Haha... I really didn't expect it! The police would actually come to pink salon. I'm sorry, I still have work to do..."

"Wait a minute! It's not a wise move to refuse the police's request. Besides, if we don't get satisfactory information, the higher authorities will send someone else here. By then, they may not want us to be so easy to talk to!"

Doihara stood up and blocked the other party's way, and then looked at the two women with calm eyes until the other party sat back on his seat. Furuta Ichiro saw the other party and sat down again, and then continued to ask:

"Excuse me... Koichi Hirono of the Silver Dragon Club, must he be your regular customer? He is dead. Do you know about this?"

"Huh, I've seen it on the news, but I really don't know anything..."

As the woman spoke, she subconsciously took out a cigarette from her handbag. Seeing this, Doihara actually cooperated and took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for her.

"Hush...huh...thank you!"

"Have you ever dated Hirono Koichi? Has he ever told you about his affairs..."

"Haha... I'm just a woman working in a custom shop. How could that guy tell me his story?"

"Then before his accident, was there anything wrong? For example, did he mention anything? And...did he come to see you during that time?"

Sorry, this... I don't seem to have any impression!

Seeing that the other party hesitated for a moment, as if he really didn't notice anything special, Furuta Ichiro and Doihara couldn't help but look at each other.

…

After asking Hirono's lover, he still found nothing. It was not until Ichiro had asked all the questions that the two of them stood up and said goodbye.

"Okay! Thank you for your cooperation with us. This is my business card. If you think of anything else, please feel free to contact us, no matter how small it is!"

The woman took the business card handed over by Doihara, looked at it hesitantly, and then put it into her handbag.

…

After coming out of the store, Furuta and Doihara returned to the car together. Then, Ichiro took the initiative and said:

"It seems... it's all in vain!"

"That's not necessarily true. How could the woman in the custom shop tell the truth to the police?"

"senior?"

"The car with the corpse in it belongs to Koichi Hirono! I think maybe someone helped the murderer to get Hirono out! The people from the Silver Dragon Club probably wouldn't, because in that case, the police can easily investigate

I found them, so... I just wanted to start with women and see if I can find some useful clues!"

"However, these women obviously don't want to say anything more..."

Hearing Ichiro's tone, he seemed a little frustrated. Doihara patted his shoulder nonchalantly, and then said with some emotion:

"If I were twenty years younger, maybe... I could make the other party talk obediently with my charm. Now... I can't do it anymore! Let's go! Send the car back first, and then have a drink together, and then

Go home and have a good sleep, tomorrow is a new day!"

"Hi!"

Having achieved nothing in the past few days, Furuta and Doihara completely lost interest in continuing to work that night. After the two of them returned the car to the Metropolitan Police Department, they went to the tavern where they had a drink together last time!

After a glass of refreshing beer, my tired body and mind finally felt relieved.

"Hey... we have been working blindly according to the above instructions these days. We know that it is impossible to find the murderer if we continue like this, but we still have to continue... In the search class, sometimes it is also a sad thing

What a matter!"

After two glasses of soju, Doihara couldn't help but complain to Ichiro Furuta. In fact, even with his inexperience, Ichiro could see that the work of searching the first section these days was basically useless work and a lot of effort.

We took the people from the Silver Dragon Society back to investigate, but they were all released after just one night.

Ichiro picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth with his hands. Maybe it was because of the worries at work, but even the dishes became a little boring.

As a member of an organization, even if you know that some things are a waste of time, you still have to follow the orders of your boss. Perhaps this is the sadness of people in the workplace!

"Senior, if Hirono was really killed by people from the Silver Dragon Society, they would never do it themselves!"

"Of course, everyone in the Silver Dragon Society is being watched by people from the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department? Even the Ministry of Public Security is paying close attention to them. If you want to kill people in this situation, you must be careful.

Just consider the consequences! So, with

Instead of getting into trouble, it is better to find an uninvolved third party to do it cleanly. Moreover, even if the instigator behind the scenes is really from the Silver Dragon Society, the most we can find is some ambiguous indirect evidence, and maybe we can't even convict.

Can't do it!"

"But, senior! If the murderer is really a professional killer, I'm afraid he won't easily betray the person behind the scenes!"

"Why……"

"What's wrong, senior?"

"Ichiro! You are thinking too much! Finding the murderer is the responsibility of the Investigation Section 1. As for the rest... let other departments have the headache!"

…

When Ichiro and Doihara came out of the pub, both of them were a little drunk. After parting at the station, Ichiro kept remembering what Doihara said just now.

"Finding the murderer is the only responsibility of the Investigation Division, but...where are we going to find the murderer?"

Sitting quietly on the train going home, Ichiro couldn't help but close his eyes. His mind gradually recalled the experiences of searching the first class these days.

The identity of the deceased under the Shinagawa Viaduct was not even found, so he was regarded as a legacy case and transferred to the special investigation department. The murderer may continue to commit crimes at any time.

As for the case of the Silver Dragon Society, judging from the current progress, there is almost no hope of solving the case. Is this the search lesson that I worked so hard to enter? Is this the reason why I strive to become a police officer?

The result of fighting for it?
