Chapter 143

Even Bo Yezaki didn't expect this person to be so reckless.

He was just casually singing a dissenting tune to raise suspicion and saying things that were inconsistent with his identity as a police officer.

As a result, the opponent got carried away and silenced him completely!

Even Bo Yezaki was shocked, let alone the attending physician. The thought that his words had caused the other party to make such a solemn oath made the attending physician a little scared.

Japanese society is relatively indifferent. Most people don't care how abnormal others are, as long as it doesn't affect them. Attending physicians are mostly responsible for their patients, but they don't usually get involved in other people's business. After all, a colleague was killed because of this, and everyone is still afraid.

However, this does not mean he opposes others reporting suspicious individuals to the police.

It all comes down to a person's sense of social responsibility and justice. Some people have a lower sense of responsibility and others a higher one, which is perfectly normal. Unless you see a wanted fugitive, in which case you have an obligation to call the police. In other situations, there's no moral blackmail that forces someone to take a risk. This policeman is so serious, acting like he should call the police, and even made such a solemn oath, which makes him both depressed and worried.

He was a psychologist, and he could tell at a glance that the policeman was a bit paranoid. Therefore, he was worried that if the man took the oath, he might actually eat shit. He might even think that the policeman started the conversation and come after him to settle scores... It wasn't impossible that such a thing could happen!

He could only step in and try to persuade them.

So the attending physician hesitated and changed his tune: "Actually, if you encounter something particularly suspicious, you should still report it..."

His partner got excited and looked at Usoppō Saiki triumphantly: "Look!"

Shiratori Renzaburo took a deep breath and said with a look of forbearance, "Alright, what's the point of arguing about this? You should put this energy into the case and catch the culprit as soon as possible!"

Usoppei didn't bother with the other person and simply strode out of the room.

By the time his partner came out, still arguing with Shiratori Ninzaburo, Usuba Saiki was nowhere to be seen.

"Why did he run away?" his partner asked regretfully. "Did he admit defeat? I haven't even asked him what the punishment would be if he lost!"

"Stop making a fuss... Han Chuan wasn't originally in our group. There's no information worth investigating in the hospital, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to leave."

Shiratori Ninzaburo was exhausted when he realized that his partner hadn't even grasped the crisis: "Besides, the key point of that issue isn't whether the public has an obligation to risk calling the police... It might involve higher-ups or something. Do you think he was just talking nonsense?"

This statement is tantamount to an explicit statement that Shiratori Ninzaburo seems to trust Samikawa Shinryu more.

The partner was greatly shocked: "You actually agreed with his nonsense! Is that how a police officer talks?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo was even more exhausted: "I already said that's not the point, and that's not what I agree with either... Never mind!"

His partner was a senior who had graduated a few years earlier than him. Because he wasn't in the professional group, his attitude towards this elite professional was a little ambiguous.

He's usually alright to get along with, and his personality is fairly straightforward, but this sudden stubbornness is quite a headache. He's speaking up for Han Chuan Shenliu, but I doubt his senior will listen... Sigh, it's no wonder some people can't get into the professional group.

But what exactly did Hanchuan Shenliu know that made him feel this case was related to higher-ups?

Shiratori Ninzaburo was very conflicted, regretting that he had been a step too slow and should have stopped the person to ask questions before letting Kanekawa Shinryu leave.

But less than half a day has passed! Shouldn't everyone be on the same starting line?! Who exactly is the elite of the professional group?!

Even after leaving the hospital, Usoppei Saiki was speechless. Who wants to watch someone eat shit? He won, but he only got the chance to watch someone eat shit. He wasn't happy about it, was he?

Eating upside down, how can anyone swallow that?! They're really making life harder for themselves!

Because the preliminary investigation took a long time—the hospital spent a lot of time persuading doctors and gathering information—the sun has already set, and theoretically, it's about time to prepare to leave work.

But when you're a criminal investigator and you have a case on your hands, don't even think about leaving get off work on time. You're lucky if you can leave at all, and you often have to stay up all night to continue working the next day.

Some people have even come up with a "preventing sudden death package," claiming that eating it will keep you energetic even without sleeping...

With Hanchuan Shenliu's physical condition, staying up all night is indeed not a big problem. When he was in the Mobile Investigation Unit, he could handle being on a bumpy ride for 24 hours without any issues. But detectives don't work 24 hours a day, and they can take turns going back to catch up on sleep the next day. Now that he has to work overtime to fit in, Usaba Saiki is a little unhappy.

So he found a place and started calling Amuro Tooru again.

"So, have you finished asking? What did Rum say?"

If the organization makes a move, he will wait and see; if the organization doesn't, he will proceed according to his own plan.

Amuro Tooru was speechless: "You're in such a hurry..."

His presence was so strong that he couldn't understand why he couldn't find Usaka Saiki's vodka all day.

Bo Yezhai urged, "Have you asked yet? If not, go ask now! This is a serial murder case! How can you not be worried about something this serious!"

Amuro Tooru: "...I'm not a policeman. Let the police worry about this kind of thing. Why are you so concerned about the police?"

Usakabe Saiki sincerely said, "I want to experience what it's like to be a good policeman."

"..." Amuro Tooru took a deep breath and skipped the topic. "I asked, and Rum's idea is to see how the police are doing. If they solve the case quickly, the organization will wait and see. If they solve the case slowly, the organization will first kill the witnesses and then the Metropolitan Police Department Director Kitakami."

After thinking for a moment, Bo Yezaki quickly understood the reason.

The Kitami Superintendent has already made contact with the organization's trail. If the police solve the case quickly, the Kitami Superintendent won't have time to investigate the organization further and will be arrested without any follow-up. An organization with no presence is very safe.

However, if the police are slow to solve the case, and the Kitami Metropolitan Police Department makes progress in its investigation of the organization during this time, then the incriminating evidence gathered will be useless. It would be a waste to bribe someone who might go to jail at any time, so it would be better to just kill him to prevent him from talking nonsense after he goes to jail.

"Then how do we judge the speed at which the police solve a case?" asked Bo Yezaiji sincerely.

Amuro Tooru said, "About a week. If I haven't found out anything about the Kitami father and son by then, I'll contact the action team."

From his personal perspective, he naturally hopes that the police will step up their efforts, solve the case as soon as possible, arrest the two men, and see if they can get any information out of them.

Bo Yezaki also wanted to resolve the case quickly: "A week? The organization's efficiency is too low. Can't we just assassinate them today?"

Good heavens! A whole week?! Is he going to be working overtime all week?! Are you kidding me?!

Amuro Tooru said, "This is Rum's arrangement. If you have any complaints, you can ask Rum... Do you have his phone number?"

"Yes, it exists, but..."

Amuro Tooru breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, you can ask Rum about this kind of problem."

Bo Yezaki paused for a moment: "Are you eager to hang up? Do you have a problem with me?"

"No, I'm just a little busy..."

After talking with Morofushi Kagemitsu, I was given a bunch of extra details about Usakuya Saiki from Morofushi Kagemitsu's perspective—Morofushi Kagemitsu used to think it was all madness and there was no need to share it in such detail, but now, as he recalls it and talks about it, it's not as memorable as it was back then... It's something I had to talk about sooner or later, so I feel a bit cheated.

There isn't much information about Arrizo, just the same old stuff, but we'll pay extra attention and secretly gather more information later. Right now, we can only analyze Arrizo through Usakata Saiki.

Amuro Tooru analyzed along with him, his brain working at high speed for a long time, and he was actually a little tired.

Especially when I hear Usaku Saiki's voice, I feel even more tired for some reason... It's so strange.

Bo Yezaki wanted to know why these two people had been so suspicious of him: "What have you been doing all this time, being so busy?"

Amuro Toru initially wanted to brush it off, but then he suddenly remembered that he was busy with trivial matters related to Usaku Saiki, so he quickly adjusted his mindset and plans.

He tentatively said, "Just in case, I'm considering which sniper to hire... Speaking of which, I heard you're quite good at sniping. Did you train in the Middle East?"

Bo Yezaki remained silent for a moment.

The system was shocked: [He actually tried to freeload off your labor!]

"Are you stupid?! Is that the point? He was avoiding me like the plague, but now he's suddenly asking about the Middle East, and it's not like Morofushi Hiromitsu's approach of just gathering intelligence without any real purpose... I know, he's finally realized that Alex might be an undercover agent?"

Usakabe Saiki lamented: "What kind of efficiency is this Japanese police? They've been gone for years! Are they only now thinking of making contact?"

The system added analysis: [Amuro Tooru also knows that Ariel is dead, so he wasn't asking this for a rendezvous, was he?]

"...That makes sense." Bo Yezaki thought for a moment, then came to a less certain answer: "Could it be that they're not even sure if Arijiu is the person they're looking for?"

[Surely not, are spy training institutions really that casual?]

I'll just ask around.

So Amuro Toru listened to Usaku Saiki remain silent for a while on the other end of the phone before suddenly speaking.

"Are you asking about Alex wine? What else do you want to know? Ask all of these together."

Toru Amuro: "...!!!"

Extra chapter, goodnight.

Bo Ye: We have to work overtime for a whole week? This is unacceptable! The case needs to be expedited.

Shiratori: Aren't we all starting from the same point?!

.

System: He actually wants to freeload off your labor!

↑It has clearly been partially assimilated by the thin leaves...

Japan is truly perverted. There was once a famous gimmick: selling excrement sprinkled with gold leaf, specifically the excrement of a young girl who had only eaten fruit for a period of time, supposedly because it tasted good... Uh... it sold for 6 million yen, and people actually bought it...
