Of course, the anime does not tell the history of the Metropolitan Police Department.

This is also the (second) history (setting) that Tang Ze slowly heard from the mouths of the elderly after entering the Metropolitan Police Department.

As the loss of personnel becomes more and more serious and veteran criminals continue to fall, the entire Metropolitan Police Department is in turmoil and faces a situation of a lack of successors.

This is a very serious problem. After all, in the criminal field, experience is passed down from generation to generation through the guidance of the old and the new.

From a certain perspective, the reason why criminals are always beaten in anime is because of a certain god of death!

The situation at that time was such that if they had just sat there and waited for death, the Metropolitan Police Department would have been disbanded!

It was under such circumstances that the Metropolitan Police Department was finally forced to make up its mind to carry out reforms.

In addition to exceptional promotions, there are also fixed holidays, regular psychological counseling, delicious canteen meals, single apartments, etc. It can be said that the welfare benefits have really increased significantly.

Generally speaking, if there is no murder by Friday, they will basically start their rest period, but if they have taken over a case before, they will rest after the case is completed.

If a case occurs on the weekend, the case will be handed over to the staff on duty on the weekend for investigation, and there will be no situation where a group of people will fight to the death.

In general, it is much more humane than before. No matter what happens, everyone will always have a chance to breathe after the case is over.

Of course, this situation also led to the expansion of the Metropolitan Police Department. In this world where murders are frequent, this is a trend that goes with the times.

But on the other hand, it is natural to face the situation where there are good and bad people.

The key is that detectives in this world are very active, so in contrast...

I understand, I understand~~

"Well, I'm going to start~"

After putting their hands together and performing the pre-meal etiquette, everyone picked up the small pieces of yokan and put them into their mouths.

The sweet and sticky chestnut aroma spreads in the mouth as you chew it. The soft texture brings a comfortable enjoyment. The aftertaste is mixed with a little bit of cool mint, which directly dissolves the slightly sweet taste.

“Mmm~ delicious~”

Sato Miwako's face lit up with happiness as she praised, "It's truly worthy of being Sugimotoya's specialty, yokan."

"It tastes really good. The light mint flavor is a nice embellishment." Tang Ze nodded in agreement.

"It's great if you like it." Gao Mu took a sip of black tea and said with a smile: "It's really peaceful~"

"Well, peace is the best~" Sato Miwako was no longer as serious as usual, her face was full of leisure. "I feel a little guilty. It's Monday, but you are so leisurely~"

"It's better not to say that. Sometimes, the more you say it, the more likely something will happen next."

Tang Ze, who had felt that the two of them were constantly teasing each other since they met, finally couldn't help but complain, "I wanted to get off work early tonight."

"No~" Sato Miwako smiled and waved her hands, "It's not like what you said. I didn't expect that you, Tang Zejun, would also believe in such things~"

"That's right, cases don't just happen." Gao Mu also echoed and laughed when he heard this.

"That's because you don't know the laws of science!" Tang Ze rolled his eyes inwardly and complained secretly, "You don't even cherish this peaceful daily life, and you keep complaining. Are you really worried that there aren't enough cases?"

"Don't worry~" Sato Miwako seemed to see that Tang Ze didn't believe her, so she patted Tang Ze's shoulder and said, "Just wait and see if you don't believe me."

In such a leisurely atmosphere, the three of them finished their snacks. Tang Ze started reading a book, while Takagi chatted with Sato Miwako, and they spent the whole lunch like this.

After the three of them had lunch together at noon, they spent the afternoon leisurely as usual. Time passed so quietly, and the peace made Tang Ze a little unbelievable.

Damn... this is not scientific at all!!

"See, I told you it would be alright~" Sato Miwako patted Tang Ze on the back and said with a smile: "Let's go, how about the three of us go eat oden together?"

"Okay~"

Before Tang Ze could respond, Takagi on the side immediately agreed. Tang Ze had originally planned to refuse and create some space for the two to be alone together, but when Takagi heard Tang Ze's refusal, he tried his best to invite him instead, obviously thinking that the two were a little timid.

Seeing this, Tang Ze had no choice but to go over and act as a "mediator". Sato Miwako drove the three of them to find a delicious oden restaurant.

As soon as they walked into the store, the unique aroma of oden filled their noses. Various snacks came into view, arousing the appetite of the three people, making them want to choose their favorite food.

There are all kinds of meatballs such as radish, kelp, sausage, potato, konjac, tofu puff, bamboo roll, and fish balls. There is always something you want to eat.

The three of them each chose their favorite food and sat in a corner of the izakaya chatting casually. The only pity was that there was no beer to go with it.

Although no case had occurred, Tang Ze and his team were not celebrating after solving the case, nor were they taking a day off the next day, so they would not drink alcohol in case of an emergency after dinner under normal circumstances.

As they were eating, it was already past eight o'clock. Just as the three of them were about to go their separate ways, Tang Ze suddenly received a call from the officer on duty at the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Wait, don't go yet." Seeing the caller ID, Tang Ze immediately stopped Takagi and the other person and showed them the caller ID. The expressions of Takagi and the other person immediately became serious.

Obviously, they also knew what the call from the duty officer at the Metropolitan Police Department during this time period meant.

Seeing Officer Takagi and the other man approaching, Tang Ze answered the phone directly.

The next moment, a hurried voice reported from the other end of the line: "Detective Karasawa, we just received a call from the police saying there's been a murder in a villa at Beika-cho 13-chome. Please go there immediately!"

"I understand. I'll go there immediately."

Sighing inwardly that this was indeed the case, Tang Ze immediately responded, "In addition, Detective Takagi and Detective Sato are with me. Please contact the Forensic Investigation Division. We are rushing to the scene now."

"clear!"

After hanging up the phone, a red car stopped right beside them. It turned out to be Sato Miwako, who had heard about the murder and went to look for a car.

"Hurry up, we're in time." Sato Miwako tilted her head and immediately motioned for the two to get in the car.

Tang Ze and Takagi looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly, seeing each other's helplessness.

But there was nothing I could do, it was because I was lazy and didn't want to drive.

At this moment, Tang Ze regretted being lazy and not driving himself...
