Interlude: Thief Police Officer 13
The next few days are destined to be busy days, whether for the criminals, the victims or the victims' families.
Ishii Kazuki has been discharged from the hospital. Even though he only slept for one night, he still feels as if he is in another world. He is leaning on the back seat with a speechless look on his face. The driver is Takagi Wataru, a junior of Date Kou. "I say, squad leader," he finally couldn't help but complain to his friend who was holding a toothpick in his mouth, "Haven't you been working overtime recently to investigate and swear to catch Pramya? I'm fine, so why are you looking at me like a prisoner?"
Going to the toilet requires two people in a group, for elementary school girls?
"There's nothing we can do," Ida Kou shook the toothpick in his mouth up and down, "The prisoner is on the run, and you are a key protected person, so just give up," he rubbed Ishii Kazuki's hairy head, "If it weren't for me, I also have Matsuda and Kenji, and Takagi, and Eguchi-kun will also keep a close eye on you. This is an order from Manager Matsumoto."
"Yes, Inspector Ishii," the driver Takagi Wataru also agreed, "Recently, the Metropolitan Police Department's express delivery inspections have been much stricter, and Kudo Shinichi has been temporarily entrusted to Inspector Megure's friend, former detective Mr. Mori. After all, the Kudo couple is abroad and can't get back for a while..."
"Anyway," Date Kou's smile could not hide the vigilance and worry in his eyes, "Don't think of being alone, Ikki."
Ishii Kazuki pouted his lips and looked out the window, still mumbling, "Don't use that tone, squad leader, you have a girlfriend, but you're not yet at the stage of being a father... huh?"
"What's wrong?" Date Kou instantly became alert. The car just passed a red light. Ishii Kazuki was still paying attention to the pedestrian street next to it. There were many businesses and dense crowds here. If the criminal was here, detonating the bomb would cause great casualties. "Could it be?" The atmosphere in the car instantly stagnated. Even Takagi Wataru, who was driving, had a lot of sweat on his palms. "Is he there?"
"No," Ishii Kazuki shook his head quickly, and rolled down the car window in the face of Date Kou's almost tangible disapproval. "That foreign man," he stretched his head out to allow the other party to see his face more clearly, "Do you remember me?"
The man he was talking about turned around in astonishment. He was tall, with a long and thin face, prominent cheekbones, a square jaw, short brown hair, and stubble on the lower part of his face. How should I put it? He had a very typical look of a bear man. When he saw Ishii Kazuki's face, he was excited. He took a long step to the side of the car and said, "5L2g5piv6YK..."
Ishii Kazuki was smiling. Date Kou had already moved closer to him, blocking the way without leaving any trace, and asked quietly, "What is he talking about?" He had already guessed that this person was the foreigner who was tied up on the second floor and rescued by Ishii Kazuki before, "Ikki?"
"He said..." Ishii Kazuki stretched out his voice, "He is very grateful to me for saving him. He asked if he knew where Pramya was and wanted to exchange information with us."
"Wow!" His junior Takagi Shigeru gave him an admiring look, but he didn't understand a word he heard. "Does Inspector Ishii know Russian?"
"Oh, I don't understand," Ishii Kazuki shook his head decisively, "I judged it through another language."
"What language?" Takagi asked curiously, while Date Kou, who knew Ishii Kazuki's character better, showed sympathy to his junior, "Isn't this Russian?"
"It is another universal language," Ishii Kazuki said calmly, looking like a master, while rapping in Russian in the background, "Body language."
Takagi Wataru: “…”
Ida Hang: “.......” I knew it.
"But, although I don't understand Russian," Ishii Kazuki smiled and gestured to the foreign man who was still chattering and trying to communicate. At the edge of his vision, the woman's scar was faintly visible under the hood, "but there must be some of them who understand Japanese."
"Like, for example, the sister of this enthusiastic foreign gentleman?"
