It is said that the early bird catches the worm, but why do policemen who get up early get eucalyptus?

After working through the afternoon, the Special Investigation Team 7 missed their lunch break and opted to head to a restaurant near the Metropolitan Police Department for a quick meal. While they weren't supposed to eat out during work hours, they had just solved a case together, so their superiors naturally turned a blind eye and condoned their behavior.

After just one month of getting along, Fujiwara Yu has almost figured out the personalities of his subordinates. Kenzo Mashiba is a master of close combat, and Yin Dahang even said that he cannot beat Mashiba, which shows that he is really strong.

Usho Tsuda is more steady. Although he looks nonchalant due to his pigtails, he is actually very careful. Today's case is that he successfully provided key indicative evidence after noticing something was wrong.

As the only female member of Special Investigation Team 7, Miwako Sato's cheerful and outgoing personality really wins everyone's favor. Of course, the most important thing is her personal ability. Not only is her intuition very accurate, she is also very good at reasoning and analyzing cases. The best thing about her is her driving skills.

As Yin Dahang's junior, Takagi Shigeru has naturally learned many of his strengths. Although he sometimes forgets things rashly, he is very reliable at critical moments. His best quality is his heart that always strives for justice. He is also the one with the strongest empathy among the people present. You must know that one of the essential qualities of an excellent police officer is empathy.

The youngest, Yuji Hashimoto, is a bit introverted. Although he is not very strong in reasoning, his hacking skills far surpass everyone else. Yin Dahang even teased him - could he have a side job somewhere?

As for Yin Dahang, Fujiwara Yu naturally didn't need to understand him; he had known the squad leader since his days in the police academy. If one were to truly evaluate his greatest strength, it would be that besides cooking and childbirth, he seemed to be able to do everything. It could be said that his skills were well-diversified, and he was very good at many things.

After leaving the Metropolitan Police Department, the group headed south towards the food street. Many police officers working at the Metropolitan Police Department were tired of the food in the cafeteria and would order takeout. In addition, there were also many police officers who had dinner together after get off work, so the entire street here was lined with restaurants, and there were many choices.

As the oldest, Kenzo Mashiba has eaten his way through this street. He pointed to the shop at the end of the street:

"How about going to this izakaya? The Criminal Division usually comes here for team building. The food is very tasty and the value is very high. The owner is also very nice and has reserved two tables for the police."

"Sure, I've been to this restaurant a few times before." Tsuda Usho turned around with a smile and looked at Takashi Sosuke who was walking behind him. It couldn't be said to be a hint, it was a direct statement: "Every time we come here, it's our boss who invites us to dinner."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Sosuke Takagi, and the expectation in their eyes was almost bursting.

Fujiwara Yuu naturally wouldn't be so stingy as to be unwilling to treat others to a meal. He wasn't short of money anyway. Besides, with two incomes, he was definitely the richest person present.

"Our department has never had a dinner together before. Today's dinner is my treat, so please eat whatever you want... Of course, you can't drink during work hours. After all, you can't be sure if you'll get a case later."

"Hey, hey, hey, Ying Si, please shut up with your crow's mouth!" Yin Dahang glared at Fujiwara You with disgust in his half-moon eyes. This guy really kept talking about things that were not related to the topic. He had agreed with Natalie to go to her place for dinner today, and he couldn't let this kid's crow's mouth delay his business.

Sato Miwako, who had already witnessed the bad words of Yingsi during the past month, also frowned. She was called up early this morning to go to the scene and had not slept enough. She was planning to go home quickly after get off work to take a shower and go to bed.

As a boss who was about to treat everyone to a meal, he was actually despised by his subordinates. Fujiwara Yu's face, which was already expressionless, became even more expressionless. He raised his hand and made a zippering gesture, indicating that he would not say anything more, and then walked towards the izakaya.

Kenzo Mashiba was obviously an old customer here. After he entered the store and chatted with the boss for a few words, the boss directly arranged them to the best private room on the second floor.

The menu is quite extensive, featuring not only traditional Japanese dishes but also a few repurposed Chinese and Western dishes. After Kenzo Mashiba explained, I learned that the dishes written in different marker colors at the back are requests from regular customers, and the names of the dishes are all written by the diners themselves.

Mashiba Kenzo smiled and pointed to the regular dish with "Fried Chicken Pot" written on it in brown marker, and said:

"I wrote this recipe. My grandmother used to make it for me when I was little. Now that she's passed away, I have no choice but to relive the flavors of my childhood here."

"Then let's try two portions. The portion written here is quite light, and one portion probably won't be enough." It was Yin Dahang's first time to eat here. He noticed the grams of chicken thigh meat marked on the menu and suggested.

The hungry people quickly decided on the dishes they wanted to order. In order to save money for their boss, each of them ordered a main course. If they ordered too many side dishes to fill their stomachs, it would easily lead to an unacceptable price.

As a big eater, Kenzo Mashiba even ordered two servings of fried rice with different flavors. As expected, in the Japanese dictionary of life, only rice can be called the staple food, and things like ramen and fried dumplings are called side dishes.

Fujiwara Yu ordered a red wine meat sauce gratin rice that was written on the menu by some regular customer. This dish can be said to be quite homely and very simple to make, so generally speaking, even if a chef who is not good at Japanese cuisine cooks it, the taste will not be too bad, and there might even be an unexpected surprise.

Before the food was served, the people gathered around the table naturally talked about work-related topics. Perhaps the most common topic of conversation among police officers when they get together is the case. As colleagues in the same department, they could only talk about gossip about the department next door.

If we were to ask who had the most extensive knowledge when it came to gossip, it would definitely be Takagi Wataru. Perhaps it was because he was more popular in the Investigation Division, so naturally he knew more.

Miwako Sato glanced at Yuji Hashimoto, who had been silent and looking down at his phone. She felt that he was a bit out of place, so she took the initiative to change the topic to him:

"Hashimoto-kun, you've been playing with your phone since a while ago. Are you chatting with your girlfriend?"

Yuji Hashimoto didn't expect that the topic would be brought up to him. In previous department dinners, he was always the one sitting quietly in the corner with no sense of presence. He didn't expect that someone would notice him.

He put down his phone, shook his head, and straightened his back to answer like an excellent student in school:

"No, I was chatting with the nanny at home, asking her how my son is doing at home."
