Fujiwara Yu returned to the Metropolitan Police Department alone and quickly got into work mode. He didn't want to work overtime on Valentine's Day, which would be too miserable for a single person.
However, the workload of this case is not as heavy as in the past. Although it is a more difficult case of family annihilation, some processes can be omitted.
For example, interrogating prisoners.
Since the criminal in this case, Aki Yamazaki, had an accident and stepped on the small turtle raised by Chiho Yamazaki while going up the stairs, resulting in the death of the criminal, the interrogation step was naturally omitted.
No one can interrogate a dead criminal. If such a superpower really existed, the police and detectives would probably be out of work.
After Fujiwara Yu finished preparing the documents to be handed over to the prosecutor's office, his work was almost over. He sat lazily at his workstation and stretched out his arms. Without his subordinates present, he could let go of his seriousness as a boss.
bite.
He heard the sound of an email being delivered from his mobile phone, and when he opened it, he found it was a MMS sent by Yin Dahang.
[Yin Dahang: I successfully gave the ring away at the Lookout Restaurant. You guys should hurry up too.]
Fujiwara Yu put his phone in his pocket unhappily. It was the first time he felt that the squad leader's smile with his big white teeth looked really annoying, and he was also annoyed by the envy that emerged in his heart.
He also wanted to hold on to his happiness, but now was not the time.
Fujiwara Yu rubbed the back of his neck irritably, stood up and delivered the things to the file room on the first basement floor, then went upstairs again to turn off the lights and leave work, but was stopped by Chiba Kazunobu, who was raping the third department next door. He had a white envelope with a cherry blossom sticker on it in his hand.
"Inspector Takashi, this is the letter I picked up downstairs just now. It's addressed to you." Chiba Kazunobu didn't show any gossipy expression. He had just finished tailing the suspect and had even forgotten that today was the annual Valentine's Day.
Fujiwara Yuu thought of Takagi Wataru's revelations about Chiba. He reached out to take the envelope and said in a gentle tone:
"Thank you, would you like some coffee?"
"Oh, no thanks. I just had a hamburger and a Coke." Chiba Kazunobu didn't expect that Sosuke Takashi, who always looked stern, would actually treat him to coffee. He quickly waved his hand to refuse. It was too stressful to stay with his boss.
Fujiwara Yu naturally did not insist on treating others to coffee. He took the envelope to his workstation, roughly guessed the contents of the envelope, and had no interest in checking what was inside.
He threw the envelope directly into the trash can, locked the office door, and took the elevator to the underground parking garage to prepare to go back to the hotel to rest. He had been staring at Itakura Taku these days, causing his sleep quality to plummet. It was time to catch up on his sleep.
Get in the car, fasten your seat belt, and habitually connect your phone to a headset to prevent missing important calls.
But just when he was connecting the headset, Fujiwara Yu noticed an unread email in his mailbox. After seeing the sender's email address and the content, he ran to the elevator in a hurry without even locking the car door.
[Miyano Akemi: I've probably been writing to you a lot lately. Fujiwara-kun's personality makes him think he'd just throw the envelope in the trash, so I'm sending you a reminder email. The one with the cherry blossom sticker is from me. As for the contents of the envelope, I'll be waiting for you at the place mentioned in the letter.]
Fujiwara Yu discovered that all the elevators were going upwards. Worried that Miyano Akemi would wait too long at the place mentioned in the letter, he didn't bother waiting there and turned around and went up along the fire escape next to him.
I felt a little cold just now because I didn't wear enough clothes, but after climbing to ten floors in one breath, my body warmed up.
When he walked into the office, he didn't feel disgusted with the things in the trash can at all. He directly took out the white envelope with the cherry blossom sticker on it. He didn't even use alcohol disinfectant spray and hurriedly opened it to see the contents.
【1-41, Cupido-machi, bologna. 】
The signature also includes the pseudonym "Saito Masami".
Fujiwara Yu carefully folded the letter and put it in his pocket. This time he caught the elevator going down, got back into the car and rushed to the Italian restaurant called "Bologna" as fast as he could.
After parking the car and arriving at the door of the store, he was a little confused. You know, Miyano Akemi was still under surveillance by the organization. She appeared in the restaurant openly and had dinner with him, a policeman. Wasn't it too bold?
But after entering the store, Fujiwara Yu did not see Miyano Akemi. He even walked to the corner to look, but still did not see her.
He lowered his head to recheck the contents of the letter. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked the waiter:
"Hello, is there a lady named Saito who would like to reserve a table here?"
"Yes, you are Mr. Takashi, right?" The waitress nodded with a smile. She noticed Takashi Sosuke's hair color and asked him directly if it was him.
"Yes, I am."
"Please follow me. Miss Saito's reserved seat is here."
The seat is in a quieter corner area, which is Fujiwara Yu's preference. He doesn't like to dine in a noisy environment, so he usually chooses a corner.
After successfully taking a seat, Fujiwara Yu discovered that the waiter did not hand him the menu. He thought that the waiter thought the other person had not arrived yet, so he did not give it to him. However, when the food was inexplicably served on the table, he realized that something was wrong.
"I haven't ordered yet, is this the wrong order?"
"No, this is prepared for you by Miss Saito. She also entrusted me to give you a letter." The waiter smiled and handed over an envelope with a cherry blossom sticker on it with both hands, but this time the color of the envelope had changed to light pink.
Fujiwara Yu took the envelope with a hint of doubt, and after seeing the contents inside, he smiled helplessly.
No wonder she invited me to a place like this. So this is what's going on.
[I wonder if Mr. Takashi still remembers what we said on the phone earlier, "Maybe you'll have the chance to treat me to dinner sometime soon"? After careful consideration, I think it's best for me to treat you. Since you're already very busy at work, you'll definitely eat after you're done, so I've carefully selected a restaurant you think you'll enjoy. After you've enjoyed the restaurant, please come to Super Yard, where your next gift awaits you!]
At the end, she deliberately wrote in relatively small font: If you like it, eat more. If you don’t like it, you can’t give me a bad review???(●˙?˙●)???.
Fujiwara Yu could hardly suppress the upward curve of his lips. He could imagine what kind of expression Miyano Akemi would have as she drew the emoticons stroke by stroke. It would be great if he could watch her write this letter.
Being a policeman requires a certain amount of imagination. He always thought he was good at thinking at the scene of a murder, but for the first time he had no clue. He really didn't expect that she would treat him to dinner in this way. He really succumbed to her creative ideas.
The surprise was unexpected and he liked it very much.
