early morning.

After waking up from the dormitory and washing up.

Tang Ze put on a casual black windbreaker to keep warm, and took some toiletries with him and walked out of the room with his bag.

After checking his watch and finding that it was still early for departure, Tang Ze went to the restaurant to have breakfast.

Grilled salmon has a delicious taste with a browned surface, and the rich protein provides energy for the whole morning.

Paired with a bowl of rice soaked in tea, the light taste dispels the greasiness brought by the fish in the stomach that has just awakened in the morning.

The combination of the two is perfect.

To be honest, only the police cafeteria has such a rich breakfast at this time. If you go out, I'm afraid that apart from tamagoyaki, the rest of the food will be very monotonous set lunch boxes.

Today is a normal working day, but Tang Ze is not on vacation but out on duty.

Tang Ze applied to Inspector Megure, saying that an informant had provided information and he wanted to go to Tsukikage Island to confirm the authenticity of the information.

It stands to reason that informants rarely appear in criminal cases, and at most there are witnesses. However, Tang Ze revealed a clue related to anesthetics, and it also involved a homicide case twelve years ago.

After learning about the complexity of the situation, Inspector Megure approved his action and did not mention the two of them working together.

Tang Ze had originally planned to use this excuse if Inspector Megure suggested that his partner work with him. After all, he was an informant, so he naturally didn't want to reveal his whereabouts to others.

But who would have thought that Inspector Megure was so knowledgeable that he just repeatedly reminded Tang Ze to be careful and not act on his own, but did not mention the matter of a partner.

I think this is the default rule.

At the same time, Inspector Megure also reminded Tang Ze that if he confirmed the authenticity of the information after contacting the informant, he should contact the headquarters immediately, and also told Tang Ze not to forget to apply for the informant fee.

This thoughtful gesture left Tang Ze bewildered, and then after learning more about it, he lamented the variety of funding subsidies in Japan.

However, considering that Tang Ze had no informant, he reluctantly accepted it as an informant himself. After all, the information he provided was not false.

After taking the subway, then a bus and a taxi, Tang Ze finally arrived at the pier.

After finding a boat to Yueying Island, Tang Ze paid the fare and boarded a speedboat heading towards Yueying Island.

Blowing in the sea breeze, Tang Ze came all the way to Yueying Island. With a backpack on his back, he looked like an ordinary tourist who came to the island to play.

While leisurely touring the island's customs, Mr. Tang Ze visited the police station on the island.

After asking about the location of the clinic, Tang Ze headed straight towards his destination.

This time he chose to "break through head-on" and didn't need to find any excuses.

Tang Ze entered the treatment room with a serious look on his face.

"Ah, a new face I haven't seen before. Are you from out of town?" A girl in a white coat in the room was the first to speak when she saw Tang Ze: "Welcome, what can I do for you?"

"No rush, get the medicine for this old man first." Tang Ze looked around and spoke.

"Then please wait a moment." The beautiful female doctor kept taking medicine from the counter. After a while, she mixed the medicines and then packed them and handed them to the old man.

After the old man left, there were only two people left in the clinic.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" the female doctor asked again.

"It's indeed an important matter, but it's not a medical consultation." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Ms. Asai Narimi, no, Mr. Asai Narimi, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Hearing Tang Ze reveal his identity, Masashi was shocked and immediately became alert, "Who are you!? What nonsense are you talking about!"

"You should know best whether it's nonsense or not." Tang Ze patted his head when he saw the other party's alert expression. "Excuse me, I forgot about it."

Tang Ze took out his police ID from his pocket and showed it to Ma Sheng, "I do this job."

"criminal?"

After seeing the officer's ID, Masashi felt a little relieved, but he was still puzzled. "I don't know why Detective Tang Ze wants me here. I haven't done anything illegal, have I?"

"Don't get me wrong, I came to you to learn about the case from twelve years ago, but after meeting you, I seem to have made some unexpected discoveries."

Tang Ze looked at the other person's puzzled and wary face, chuckled and said, "Actually, what I was paying attention to at the beginning was not this case, but a narcotics trafficking case.

But I discovered that the target of my investigation overlapped with a person related to a case on the island twelve years ago.

So they investigated the people involved in the case that year, and eventually found out that the famous pianist Keiji Aso had a son who was frail and hospitalized for many years and escaped the disaster.

Afterwards, I asked someone to investigate his whereabouts and found out that he was adopted and changed his name. He returned to the island after graduating from college. At that time, I guessed that he might also be investigating the accident that year.

However, after the informant I commissioned to investigate landed on Yueying Island, he could not find any trace of him, and there was no sign that he had left Yueying Island.

There aren't usually too many outsiders coming to the island, so we don't want to alert the target of our investigation. We can't just shout his name and look for him all over the streets.

So I carefully investigated the situation on the island and found that a female doctor came from Tokyo, opened a clinic and settled on the island, and her name was the same as the name of the target I was looking for.

Who would have thought that the target, who was originally a man, was disguised as a woman? "

Tang Ze said this, looked at the other party and sighed: "To be honest, after seeing you, I finally understood why the people I sent out couldn't find you. Who would have thought that a man could actually disguise himself as a woman, and do it so perfectly.

Although all the above statements are false, this sigh is not fake at all, but comes from the heart.

Even though Tang Ze had known the truth for a long time and was mentally prepared, the moment he saw Masamichi, he had to admit that the other party's disguise was really powerful.

It really fits the line in Mulan's Ballad: "The male rabbit flutters its feet, the female rabbit's eyes are blurred, two rabbits walk side by side, how can I tell which is male and which is female?" This sentence is very appropriate when used to describe the other party.

The other party had been pretending to be a woman for at least three years. Her speech, behavior, and clothing were all so realistic that even with Tang Ze's current insight, he couldn't find any flaws even after careful observation.

As for the words about the investigation, it was naturally to find a reasonable excuse for the information he knew.

As long as he pushed the blame onto the non-existent "informant", no one would be able to find the loopholes in his words.

As for the departments that needed to be visited and the authority that needed to be mobilized for the investigation, his identity also solved it very well. At least Ma Chengshi had no doubts at all.
