"Megure? Why are you here?"

The slightly plump man in a black suit and a dark brown newsboy cap was clearly the "Megure" mentioned by Onizuka Yazo. Judging from his attire, he must be a detective from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.

"I happened to be in Fuchu City investigating a criminal case. I received a notice from the police station right after the case was closed, so I just stopped by, didn't I?"

The detective named Megure looked inside and noticed a number of young faces at the crime scene. He raised the brim of his hat, revealing a furrowed brow, and said in a rather helpless tone:

"What's wrong with you, Onitsuka? You haven't been a detective for a few years and you didn't even know to let your students leave the crime scene?"

Onizuka Hachizo calmly pulled up the distraught Kunimi Yusei and chuckled:

"You know what, my student is really quite good. Look, he solved the case in just forty minutes! Hurry up and handcuff him!"

As soon as these words came out, the forensic police officers who were holding the scene trace investigation box looked at each other in confusion. They had just started work and were about to get off work?

Without waiting for Inspector Megure, who had become beet-eyed, to come to his senses, Onizuka Yazo introduced the police academy students behind him:

"This is Jusan Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division, Criminal Investigation Division 3. If you can graduate successfully, I'm sure some of you will become his subordinates."

That being said, Fujiwara Yuu and Hagiwara Kenji clearly noticed that Instructor Onizuka's gaze was on them. Does it seem like he expects them to become excellent detectives?

Megure Jusan recovered and pointed at the young police academy students and asked:

"Onitsuka, are you saying that they solved this case together? Don't you know that it's against the rules to let police academy students participate in solving cases? I remember two of your students acted on their own two days ago, right?"

Fujiwara Yuu touched the back of his neck awkwardly. Why did he inexplicably feel that he would be involved in any case? Could it be that he had a physique that attracted cases?

"Ahem." After coughing twice, Onizuka Hachizo walked over to Megure Jusan, deliberately pulling his sleeve towards the window, and whispered in a low voice, "Someone in the upper echelons saw Fujiwara's talent, so I thought this was an opportunity. And don't you see how quickly the case was solved? Although this case is indeed very simple, the murderer's methods are very naive."

Megure Jusan had never expected that the higher-ups would actually be interested in cultivating confidants during the police academy period. He looked at the people behind him and asked softly:

"Who is Fujiwara Yuu?"

"The one with shorter hair among the two taller ones."

"He looks quite clean, young man. You better keep a close eye on him. The girls in the police academy won't let go of this piece of premium Kobe beef."

Onizuka Hachizo rolled his eyes speechlessly. Knowing his student's character quite well, he said with confidence: A good kid like Fujiwara Yuu would not mess around in the police academy. Besides, this is not a feudal society. It is quite good for a twenty-year-old adult to fall in love and combine work and rest.

After recording his statement at the scene, Megure Juzo took out handcuffs and took Kunimi Yusei away. Of course, he also contacted a nearby hospital to transport Nakatani Shuhei's body.

The sounds of sirens and ambulance sirens resounded throughout the Metropolitan Police Academy, and also leaving was Nakatani Shuhei's biological daughter Nakajima Tomoka.

Onizuka Hachizo was feeling complicated at the moment. He knew that Nakajima Tomoka was the daughter of Nakatani Shuhei. He could still vividly remember how Nakatani excitedly showed off in front of everyone when school started that his daughter had been admitted to the police academy.

This world always makes things difficult for kind people who work hard and strive to make progress.

The first thing Fujiwara Yuu and Hagiwara Kenji did after returning to the dorm was take cold showers in the bathhouse. The hot water supply had already passed. They were both somewhat thankful that it was spring, so they wouldn't catch a cold.

"Here, have a melon bun to cheer yourself up."

Fujiwara Yu turned his head to look at Hagiwara in confusion, not quite understanding why he gave him bread.

Kenji Hagiwara has always been a very attentive person. He noticed that Fujiwara was a little absent-minded when he was taking a bath. He could tell without thinking that the sadness between his brows was caused by this case.

I'm afraid Fujiwara Yu is regretting that he didn't discover the toilet cleaner yesterday. If he had discovered earlier that someone was stealing it for experiments, he could have successfully prevented the case that happened today.

"If you want to be a police officer, you must be aware that there will be many similar cases in the future. We police officers are just ordinary people. All we can do is solve every case well and prevent injustice from happening."

“…I know all of this.”

I understand the truth, but I still feel regretful.

Hagiwara Kenji smiled and nudged Fujiwara Yu's arm with his elbow, saying leisurely:

"Okay, stop thinking about it. Eat some sweets to calm yourself down and get some rest. We have a lot of training to do tomorrow."

"Well, thanks, I'll treat you next time."

"You're welcome!"

Fujiwara Yuu returned to the dormitory and opened the plastic wrap. The melon buns from the police academy canteen looked very appetizing. The outer layer tasted a bit like cookies and was very crispy.

The bread inside is different from the outside. It is very soft and has a light aroma of fresh milk. Paired with the custard sauce inside the bread, the perfect sweetness really makes people feel better.

Just as Fujiwara Yuu was about to take his third bite, something suddenly hit the window, causing him to become alert. He put down the melon bag and carefully moved to the window, leaning against the wall to look out through the glass.

The black, naturally curly hair was particularly dazzling under the streetlight, not to mention that the guy kept waving in his direction. He had no choice but to open the window, but before he could say anything, he saw Matsuda Jinpei making a "come down quickly" gesture.

Fujiwara Yuu looked at the time on his watch and felt that asking him to go out at this time was not a good idea. But he was worried that if he didn't go down, Matsuda Jinpei might smash his window.

He casually picked up his sports jacket and put it on, then tiptoed to the public living room on the second floor. After making sure that everything was alright, he nimbly jumped out of the window and landed on the ground.

"Wow, you have pretty good skills. Have you ever done burglary before?" Matsuda Jinpei walked forward with his hands in his pockets, a cigarette he got from somewhere dangling from his mouth, and said in a mean way.

As a three-good student, Fujiwara Yuu knew that smoking was prohibited in the police academy. He sighed helplessly, looked at Matsuda who was slacking off in front of him, and asked:

"You don't want me to go over the wall with you to buy cigarettes, do you?"

"That's pretty smart. Come on, I'll buy you coffee."

"Thank you so much for feeding me coffee so late at night."
