2-1-1, Beika-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
Standing in front of the Metropolitan Police Department building again after five years, Fujiwara Yu inexplicably felt that things had changed and people had changed. Thinking about it carefully, the person who was going to work in the Metropolitan Police Department was not Fujiwara Yu, but the fictional Sosuke Takagi.
He straightened his dark blue suit and handed the file bag that Hattori Heizo had prepared for him to the guard on duty, just like when he had interviewed for the police academy, except that he was no longer handing over an interview notice.
After carefully checking the contents of the document, the security officer saluted Takashi Sosuke and kindly pointed the way:
"Minister Odagiri's office is on the 19th floor. Walk straight ahead and you'll see the elevator."
"OK, thanks."
Fujiwara Yu held the file bag in his hand. It was his first time taking the elevator in the Metropolitan Police Department.
He stood in front of the elevator and waited quietly. Waiting for the elevator with him was a tall and thin man with dark circles under his eyes. His beige suit jacket was not ironed and looked a little wrinkled. It seemed that this man had just finished the surveillance mission and rushed to work without having time to go home to wash up.
When the elevator went underground and then to the ground, there were already five or six tall men in suits standing inside. Fujiwara Yu noticed the surprise in their eyes when they looked at him. He was afraid that his hair color had attracted their attention, which was not surprising.
He closed his eyes and stood in the corner. The elevator door opened twice, to the seventh and tenth floors.
Only when the elevator was empty did the scrutinizing gazes disappear, which relaxed his tense mood... He was still not used to being the center of attention, but did he now understand the treatment that Rei Furuya received in the police academy?
Fortunately, the quality of the police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department is relatively high. Even if they are curious, they will not directly get close to you and scold you. This is quite good.

The elevator finally reached the 19th floor. After Fujiwara Yu got out of the elevator, he followed the signs to the door of an office at the back. After confirming that the doorplate read "Office of the Director of the Criminal Department", he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
It is not difficult to judge from Odagiri Toshio's voice that he is a relatively calm type of person. He should be the same type of person as Hattori Heizo. He is ruthless and doesn't talk much. He is serious in his style of doing things.
"Report to the Minister, I am Sosuke Takashi, a police officer transferred from the Osaka Police Headquarters to the Metropolitan Police Department. This is my file, please have a look." After pushing open the door, Fujiwara Yu did not rush to look at Odagiri Toshiro who was sitting at the desk. Instead, he closed the door and saluted. Then he introduced himself while looking at his boss, appearing to be more polite.
He has black hair parted on the side, two sword-like eyebrows that curve upward at the ends, and a stern face without a trace of smile, which makes his three white eyes and drooping mouth corners look even more ferocious. Judging from his facial features... he doesn't look like someone who is easy to mess with.
Toshio Odagiri leaned back in his office chair, sizing up the young man in front of him who had been praised by Hattori Heizo for a long time. However, after seeing his dazzling purple hair, he couldn't help but think of his son who was obsessed with his band and not doing anything serious, so he looked at Sosuke Takagi with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
He reached out to take the file bag handed to him by Sosuke Takagi. After seeing the other party's rich resume during his tenure at the Osaka Police Headquarters, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and admiration appeared in his eyes - no wonder Heizo praised this kid, his super efficient case-solving efficiency is indeed rare, and he is a police talent worthy of training.
It is a great gain for the police force that such talents did not change their careers to become third-rate detectives just because of a few mystery novels.
Odagiri Toshiro put down the files in his hand, tapped the table with his right fingers rhythmically, and suddenly said:
"Your resume is indeed excellent, but I still want to test you... Can you get any information from me?"
"Age between fifty and sixty, male, approximately five and a half feet tall." Fujiwara Yuu looked down, not looking at his right hand tapping the table, and continued, "You just took the briefcase with your left hand, so deliberately tapping the table with your right hand is a distracting clue, which indicates that your dominant hand is left-handed. Furthermore, there's a light scar between your right thumb and index finger, likely from kendo practice, which suggests you're skilled in it. Furthermore, there's a ring mark on your left ring finger, likely from recent removal, suggesting you're trying to conceal the fact that you're married."
He was not frightened by the sudden test, but calmly stated what he had observed. At the same time, he quickly captured two clues that he had deliberately hidden. This shows that he usually records the details he observes, which is a rare good habit.
Odagiri Toshiro was very satisfied with the clues that Takashi Sosuke had observed in such a short time. He stood up and extended his left hand, and the corners of his tense mouth raised a rare slight arc:
"Left-handed people shaking hands with left-handed people don't need to change their dominant hands."
"Minister Odagiri, can you tell me which department I'm in?" Fujiwara Yu hurriedly stepped forward and gently shook hands with him. While shaking hands, he did not forget to ask, because there was a vacancy in the department on the transfer list.
If he were assigned to the Ministry of Public Security, he would definitely choose to pack up and leave.
"Search Lesson 1."
Oh, that’s okay, it’s still my old job.
"But I didn't assign you to the forced criminal search." Toshio Odagiri picked up the pen on the table, filled in the department on the transfer form and handed it over, indicating that Sosuke Takashi should check it himself.
