Sakuragi Ruriko?
Fujiwara Yuu frowned slightly. He hadn't expected this girl to come to the Metropolitan Police Department to look for him. But his brows soon relaxed. Although he was frightened by Sakuragi Ruriko's bold words, he didn't think she really meant it.
Maybe he really had something urgent to do and wanted to find me, but he didn't have my contact information, so he went to the Metropolitan Police Department.
"Let her answer the phone. If there's anything urgent, talk on the phone first."
"OK."
There was a brief conversation on the other end of the phone, followed by Sakuragi Ruriko's slightly worried voice:
"Officer Takashi, I'm sorry to bother you when you're off duty, but I just received a call from Makoto Makabe. He said he had something interesting to show me and asked me to go to school right away."
Fujiwara Yuu looked at his watch. It was already 9:25 PM, so even if he stayed at school for club activities, they would have ended long ago. Thinking back to the five threatening letters sent to the principal and the look Makabe Makoto had given Sakuragi Ruriko, he took the initiative after careful consideration and said,
"Sakura, wait for me at the Metropolitan Police Department entrance. I'll go with you."
"Well, thank you for your trust, Officer Takashi. Please don't take my joke on the rooftop seriously. I just wanted to see how the rumored Officer Takashi would react upon hearing this."
Sakuragi Ruriko secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that she would leave a very bad impression in Toushi Sosuke's mind, which would cause him to directly refuse to accompany her. Now it seems that she was overthinking it. The other party was more responsible than she thought.
Indeed, just as the rumors said, he is a good policeman.
Fujiwara Yuu didn't expect Sakuragi Ruriko to explain. He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice:
"Well, I don't take it seriously. I'll be there in about twenty minutes. Don't wander around."
"Okay, I'll wait at the door obediently."
Fujiwara Yuu put on his suit jacket as soon as he hung up the phone. He looked at Miyano Akemi, who was sitting on the sofa watching a food show, and said helplessly:
"Mingmei, something happened here, so I'm going out for a while. If you come back too late, don't wait for me. Go to bed first."
"Okay, be careful."
"good."
Fujiwara Yuu hurried to the Metropolitan Police Department. After running three red lights, he arrived a little later than expected. He slowly parked the car next to Sakuragi Ruriko, rolled down the window, and reminded her:
"Sakura, please sit in the back seat."
Ever since he got a girlfriend, he is not used to letting the opposite sex sit in the passenger seat.
Sakuragi Ruriko raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise, guessing something, and sat in the back seat with a slight smile. She realized she wouldn't be able to get through to Makabe Makoto later, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
"Officer Takashi, I have a bad feeling. Makabe..."
"You haven't seen him yet, so don't think too much of a bad idea." Fujiwara Yu was not good at comforting people. With a sullen face, he quickened his pace and rushed to Teitan High School, praying in his heart that nothing had happened.
The night enveloped the quiet Teitan High School. The faint lights from the streets outside the school were reflected on the iron shutter doors at the school gate, making it look quiet and mysterious.
After Fujiwara Yuu parked the car, he and Sakuragi Ruriko headed towards the security room, where there should be security personnel on duty. But when they saw the Mediterranean-looking man fast asleep on the table, they knew they would probably have no hope of getting any useful clues from him.
After several calls and knocks on the glass window, the snoring Mediterranean uncle finally woke up. He rubbed his eyes in confusion and asked with a yawn:
"Um, what's up with you two? The school is off-limits during this time, so if you have something to do, please come tomorrow."
"Hello, I'm a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division. I'm here to investigate a case. Please cooperate." Fujiwara Yu skillfully took out his police ID and handed it to the other party while explaining his purpose.
police?
These two words successfully dispelled the Mediterranean uncle's sleepiness. He straightened his back and looked at the police ID. When he saw the four big characters "Takashi Sosuke" written in the name column, he quickly stood up and said with a wry smile:

"Oh, it's Officer Takashi. Please, would you like me to be your campus guide?"
"No, you just need to help me guard the school gate. Anyone else who wants to enter or leave the school will be treated as a suspicious person."
"Okay, no problem. Take care then!"
Led by Sakuragi Ruriko, the two headed to the old school building that Teitan High School was planning to demolish. While the all-wooden building looked quite dilapidated from the outside, the facilities inside were relatively new. There were club activity rooms and several newly built laboratories for academic use.
The club activity room of the mystery novel research association is on the first floor of this old teaching building. Stepping on the creaking wooden floor, Fujiwara Yuu can understand why the principal wants to demolish it. Even a small earthquake would probably shake a few holes in it.
Just as they were about to reach the door of the club activity room, a creaking sound from not far away aroused Fujiwara Yu's vigilance. He quickly turned around and looked behind him, only to find three unfamiliar young men who seemed to be high school students.
"Sagi? There's also Takashima on Onoue?" Sakuragi Ruriko was surprised after seeing who was coming. She was a little confused as to why they were entering the school at this time, but after thinking of a possibility, she asked, "Did you come here because you received a call from Makabe?"
