August 31st.

As the last day of August, it is also the end of summer.

The Special Investigation Team 7, who had just solved a serial murder case, celebrated their collective holiday by having a meal at a BBQ restaurant near the Metropolitan Police Department after sorting out the documents and materials needed to report the case.

As the department head, Fujiwara Yuu is naturally responsible for paying the bills. Occasionally treating colleagues to a meal can also bring them closer together. He is naturally willing to do something that can be done by spending some money.

Yin Dahang, an acquaintance, was the most impolite, ordering ten drafts of beer as soon as he sat down. To ensure that no one could drive after drinking, Sato Miwako volunteered to take everyone home, so everyone could enjoy the alcohol without worry.

Fujiwara Yuya, who has always been in charge of the barbecue, skillfully manipulates the tongs to flip the rectangular-cut beef tenderloin over the not-so-big charcoal fire. He likes the mustard beef tenderloin of this restaurant very much. The gravy and mustard are really a very refreshing combination.

"Speaking of which, Youxiang, did you go on a blind date some time ago? When I was buying a bouquet of flowers for my wife, I saw you drinking coffee with a pretty young girl." Zhenshi Shinzo picked up a piece of roasted pork neck, dipped it in the shop owner's special sesame oil and pepper sauce, put it into his mouth, and asked after chewing it.

Tsuda Usho couldn't help but pick up the beer glass in front of him, took a big sip and sighed:

"Oh, let's not talk about it. That was a blind date my mom found for me. We had a few meals together and it was pretty good, but in the end, he rejected me because of my job, so the possibility of me being single has become zero again."

"Really? Are police officers really that unpopular? I remember when I was in school, many girls admired police officers and doctors." Mashiba Kenzo expressed his confusion. Police salaries aren't bad, and doesn't this profession give people a sense of security? He wouldn't be rejected on blind dates repeatedly because of his job, right?

Yin Dahang understood why police officers were not popular during blind dates. He drank his favorite beer in big gulps and looked at Mashiba Kenzo to explain:

"Being a police officer is certainly a good job, but we're criminal police. Once there's a case, we have to rush to the scene immediately. Sometimes we can't go home for days. And in the police profession, if you make a mistake, you'll be promoted one or two levels."

The only way a police officer can easily get a promotion is if an accident happens at work, and it is better not to get such a promotion.

After realizing what Yin Dahang meant, Zhen Shiba Kenzo glared at him helplessly:

"Ah Hang, please don't say such unlucky things while we're eating. We can't leave any of our Special Investigation Team behind. Come, cheers! I hope our police captain can continue to be promoted, with the goal of becoming Superintendent General!"

"Don't put pressure on me suddenly. I'm not interested in being the Superintendent of Police." Fujiwara Yu calmly picked up the iced lemon tea he bought from the beverage store next door and toasted with them using the drink instead of alcohol to celebrate.

"Tsuda-kun, if you need a girlfriend, you can try with me."

Sato Miwako, who had been quiet all this time, made a shocking statement as soon as she opened her mouth. This statement also successfully made Takagi Wataru, who was standing next to her, spit out the sausage he had just stuffed into his mouth onto the plate of Takagi Sosuke opposite him.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Takagi Shigeru kept coughing excitedly. He never expected that the girl he had always secretly liked actually wanted to date his friend. This made him anxious and a little at a loss.

Fujiwara Yu looked at the sausages on the plate with disgust, wrapped them in a tissue and threw them aside. He didn't expect that he would be the biggest victim of this "battle".

As the person involved, Tsuda Usho was also stunned, but he quickly realized that the other party was just joking, so he relaxed and glanced at Takagi Wataru with a teasing look. You have to know that in the entire Special Investigation Team 7, only Sato Miwako didn't know that Takagi liked her:

"Zuo Teng, could it be that your father is looking for a blind date for you again? Are you asking me to pretend to be your boyfriend?"

"Bingo, Tsuda-kun, you're quite well-informed." Sato Miwako sighed at the thought. She said helplessly, "My mother has selected over twenty elite men from different professions for me. It's as if she wants to marry me off early. You know I just want to work hard now and have no intention of being a full-time housewife."

Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru instantly regained his energy. He held the beer glass and pricked up his ears to listen carefully. He looked more serious than when he was in a meeting. It was so obvious that only the slow-witted Sato Miwako could not notice his straightforward love.

Hashimoto Yuji pushed his glasses up and, when he heard a topic that interested him, he occasionally interrupted:

"A full-time housewife? Satou, you're not planning on quitting the police force just to get married, are you?"

"I don't want to either, but there are not many girls who can continue to be police officers after getting married. After all, police work is very busy, and it is difficult to balance work and family at the same time. So I will probably choose to resign after getting married." Sato Miwako said with a little regret. She loves her job very much, but if she gets married, she also wants to take good care of her own family.

Takagi Shigeru frowned upon hearing this. He suddenly remembered that if he and Sato Miwako wanted to marry, one of them would have to resign. He thought of Sato's regretful tone just now, and it seemed that he would have to prepare to resign. If he could marry Sato, he would have to learn how to find a babysitter and how to cook delicious food.

It seems pretty cool to take care of the family at home full-time and fully support your wife's work, right?

Yin Dahang smiled, picked up the beer glass, leaned to the side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Takashi, look at Takagi's expression. This guy probably has already thought of the name of his future child."

"Isn't it? If this guy doesn't act quickly, I'm really afraid that Sato will get 'upset' one day and just pick a lucky guest from the huge list of suitors and just make do with his life."

The happy chat between Special Search Seven was soon interrupted by a notification sound. Fujiwara Yu took out his phone and was slightly startled when he saw the sender's name. He quickly stood up and walked towards the door. He took out a card from his wallet and handed it to Yin Dahang, saying apologetically:

"I'm sorry to spoil your fun, but I have something urgent to deal with here. You guys continue while I go on."

"Wait, you haven't told me the card's PIN."

"The password is birthday."

Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, Yin Dahang smiled wryly and waved the bank card in his hand:

"Well, let's keep it a secret for the inspector. This guy actually just told us the password."

While listening to his colleagues chatting and laughing about trivial things in life, Yin Dahang drank his beer gloomily. He had just sneaked a peek at the name of the person who sent the email, and the note was Scotch whisky.

What does this wine name mean?
