Chapter 7 Chapter 7 I didn’t even know I had such a push…
26
An underground bar in Tokyo Metropolitan Area, Isshiki Totumaru had never been here before. Although there were many rumors about underground organizations trading here, the Metropolitan Police Department had never found any useful evidence.
Even if he came here now, it was because the discussion needed him as bait.
Can this really catch the murderer?
Although Isshiki Totsumuru was very worried in his heart, he still did it. Regardless of whether he could catch the murderer or not, it would be good to have new clues.
Meanwhile, Kamo no Hashiron was pretending to be a musician in an underground bar, playing the violin, which made Isshiki Totomaru blush for a moment:
"You can play the violin in this kind of underground bar?"
He thought they were all electric guitars or something like that.
"Any means of attracting customers is fine," the hotel owner said. "Besides, this guy's looks aren't bad. Are you really not interested in being a gigolo? It's very profitable."
Kamohashi Ron: "Thank you, but I'll decline. I'll just play the violin tonight."
He looked at Isshiki Totomaru who was waiting for the prisoner over there. He didn't say much, but the bar owner seemed to understand something:
"I see. Well, I won't bother you anymore. By the way, do you need any recommendations for couples hotels?"
Kamo no Bridge Theory: "..."
Let's not do that kind of thing for now, right?
"Oh, it's okay. I get it, I get it. Japanese people are always reserved. Even the more open-minded Japanese won't immediately invite someone they like to spend the night with them, let alone someone of the same sex." The bar owner acted as if it didn't matter to me. I was completely an experienced person, and even patted Kamonohashi Lun's shoulder. "Anyway, keep going."
Kamo no Hashiro was silent for a long time, and finally he said:
"Thank you for your kindness... but I'm actually British."
Bar owner: “…”
Bar owner: "I'm sorry, but I'm just showing off my skills."

Isshiki Todumaru had never imagined that someone would actually follow the scent of his perfume and come here, even sitting next to him. The other person ordered a Bloody Mary, and then, upon seeing Isshiki Todumaru's ice water, he fell silent, even letting out a "tsk!", "He seemed so impressive online, but now it turns out he's just a naive college student?"
In fact, Isshiki Totomaru, who has been working for several years, said: "..."
I'm so sorry that my face looks so young!
Then, following Kamonohashi Ron's instructions, he looked at the other person and said unhappily, "I'm just here to return your perfume. I don't care about anything else. But you're asking someone to return something and then meeting them at the bar. You really don't feel any guilt at all!"
"Why should I feel guilty about this?" the "communications expert" said. "I run a legitimate business. I pay taxes and the goods aren't smuggled in. At most, I used some sales pitches to deceive the buyers a little, but it wasn't exaggerated. It was just the kind of thing you see in TV commercials."
That's no exaggeration, Isshiki Todumaru thought.
This is exaggerated to a ridiculous degree.
"This is a scam. The Metropolitan Police Department arrested a scammer two days ago." Isshiki Totomaru said, "If you don't return the goods, I will call the police and have you arrested too."
"Oh, don't worry," the communication expert said. "Even if you arrest me, I'll probably find a way out, but if you can avoid arresting me, it's best not to. I don't want to add another criminal record to my resume."
This guy is a habitual offender.
"Then return it immediately. Also, I've already been considered a suspect by the Metropolitan Police Department. What's going on?" Isshiki Todumaru continued to press. "According to what you said, you still have a way to get rid of my suspicion. Do you know who the murderer is?"
"What are you talking about? How could I possibly know who the murderer is?" The communication expert waved his hand. "It's just that in my line of work, there are so many connections, so it's easy to find someone to take the blame for you. But it's really great that you have an alibi. If you didn't, I don't know how long it would take the Metropolitan Police Department to release you with its efficiency."
Isshiki Totomaru: "..."
This guy is really bold to say this in front of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Oh, yeah, this guy doesn't know he's a cop.
"A lot of ways?" Isshiki Dudumaru frowned. "Could it be that some people are capable of murder and robbery?"
The communication expert was startled by Isshiki Todumaru's words, then looked around and said, "Can you college students be more mentally healthy?! Last time, a college student asked me if there was any way to kill his mentor!"
Is this the mental state of Japanese college students?
Isshiki Todumaru thought uncertainly, then casually said, "I'm just asking. It could be true, but even if it were, I wouldn't look for such a way. After all, I don't have any enemies..."
"Tsk, I've seen plenty of college students like you. You're so inexperienced that you don't know how treacherous people are. Even if you wanted to hire someone, you'd be too worried about the law to do it," the communication expert said. "Even if you have a grudge against someone, you wouldn't hire someone to kill them. I'm a pretty good judge of character."
"You're really good at judging people?" Isshiki Todumaru tilted his head in confusion, then about a second later he took out his ID and said, "Officer, please come back with us to investigate!"
Communication expert: “…”
Communication Expert: "Why the hell would a police officer order the perfume I sell?"
What was even more outrageous was that on the other side, the bar owner suddenly burst into tears, "Oh my God, I knew I couldn't stay in this kind of job for long. The police really found out that this bar was helping to hide smuggling. I didn't want this to happen, but they really paid too much..."
Kamohashi Ron, who was standing next to the bar owner, said: "..."
I didn't expect that I would have such an unexpected gain on this trip.

"So, Isshiki, you're saying that during your investigation, you arrested the guy who was selling this pungent perfume for suspected fraud and other illegal activities, and arrested a bar owner for suspected smuggling in the bar..." Amemiya was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say, "Although you are indeed very capable and successfully arrested the criminal, Isshiki, don't you really think..."
"Shouldn't this actually be the job of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department?"
Isshiki Todumaru hugged his head slightly. How did things turn out like this?
We just wanted to lure out this communication expert, so why did we capture the owner of the underground bar as well?
No, why did this guy suddenly self-destruct while he was talking?
With such quality, they are helping criminals to cover up their smuggling. I don’t know whether to say that those criminals are too incompetent or that they are too kind-hearted.
"Well, after all, this kind of thing happens all the time in the metropolis." Kamohashi Ron seemed to be comforting Isshiki Totomaru, "There are always some idiots who don't know why they commit crimes. The police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department are obviously very serious and responsible, although sometimes they may end up doing bad things with good intentions..."
Isshiki Totomaru: "I'll take that as a compliment."
The last sentence is really insulting him! It’s insulting him!
It's definitely insulting him!
But looking at Kamohashi Ron's innocent expression, I really can't say such words!
"I'm just praising Officer Isshiki. There's no need to belittle yourself," Kamohashi Ron said. "And didn't we actually get new clues out of these two people?"
At this time, Isshiki Totsumuru could hardly recall the clues he had gotten from the two people. The communication expert was very skilled and quickly told them everything he knew, including the fact that the underground organization mentioned about conducting transactions by spraying perfume did exist.
"That organization seems to be called the 'L' Organization. As for why it's represented by just letters, I have no idea. Maybe their leader is a college student who just read a well-known brain battle manga?" said the communication expert.
"You say these words so readily." Amemiya said as he took notes.
The communication expert confidently said, "Hey, it's just a prison, isn't it? It's not my first time eating pork chop rice. Everyone here is very friendly, including the police. The inmates are all talented and speak well..."
"?" Yu Gong looked at him a little puzzled.
Then the communication expert suddenly burst into tears and said, "Is there really no way I can get a reduced sentence after saying so much?"
Amemiya: “…”
Isshiki Totomaru: "..."
You have to wait until you send the case for examination and then ask the judge present. It is not their responsibility to reduce the sentence.

"So, there really is such an organization." Amemiya sighed, "This is all the work of the Group Countermeasures Department, right?"
"Then Officer Amamiya plans to simply transfer this case to the team's counter-offensive department?" asked Kamohashi Ron.
Amemiya slammed the table. "That's absolutely not possible. I don't intend for the Investigation Division to be underestimated by the Team Opposition Division. Furthermore, the communication expert and the bar owner's final words hold a crucial clue. According to them, those who wear this perfume are not only those who are being hired for missions, but also those who are carrying out missions."
"Does Officer Amamiya also think that the murder was a specially hired 'mission'?" Kamonohashi Ron looked expressionless and even said directly, "That's quite a coincidence, because Officer Isshiki thinks the same thing."
Isshiki Totomaru, who was suddenly mentioned by Kamohashi Ron, said: "Huh?"
He, reasoning?
He is really amazing. He doesn't even know that he has the reasoning that he said, but since he said so, he must have his reasons, right?
This may be what is called fictitious reasoning, inventing his non-existent reasoning from the theory...
"Once the criminal is actually arrested, let Officer Isshiki tell us his brilliant reasoning." Kamohashi Ron completely ignored Isshiki Totumaru's expression.
Isshiki Totomaru: If you don't tell him anything, he can't even make fictitious inferences.
He can only make random inferences, thank you :)
