With the intervention of the National Police Agency, the Public Security Police successfully transferred Yamada Kimike's case into their own hands, which naturally caused dissatisfaction from the Metropolitan Police Department, especially Special Investigation Team 7.
After running around and finally rescuing all the victims controlled by Yamada Kimike, Kenzo Mashiba and Usho Tsuda just returned to the Metropolitan Police Department and learned that the case had been transferred to the Public Security Police, which made them extremely dissatisfied with the Police Department.
Mashiba Kenzo drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, wiped the coffee liquid that overflowed from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and frowned:
"Inspector, we solved this case, didn't we? How could they just take it over because the murderer committed suicide? Are we working so hard just to pave the way for the public security police?"
"Yeah, you didn't come to help before, and now that the case is done, you just take it away. It's totally robbery." Tsuda Usho crossed his arms in front of his chest. Even he, who was usually good-tempered, couldn't accept it.
Fujiwara Yuu knew his subordinates would be unhappy, but they were just ordinary police officers and had no right or right to be involved in matters related to the organization. He sorted through the documents at hand while soothing them:
"This matter isn't as simple as we thought. Yamada Kimi is very likely connected to the case the National Police Agency has been investigating for years, so it's no problem for them to get involved in the investigation. Okay, all of you should go back and rest early. I'll handle the handover. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"This is not something that can be solved with just a meal... Oh, forget it, this is not the first time the police have done this." Kenzo Mashiba has never had a good impression of the public security police. They always use tough measures to intervene in cases, and their arrogant expressions are sometimes really uncomfortable to see.
Tsuda Usho reached out and patted Mashiba Kenzo on the shoulder, comforting him:
"Leave this to the Inspector. Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to the hospital today? Do you need me to drive you there? It's hard to get a taxi at this time."
"Hospital?" Fujiwara Yuu looked at Mashiba Kenzo suspiciously and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, my wife is not in good health and has been staying in the hospital all year round. I go there every day after get off work... I greeted her in advance today, but she will still worry if I don't go, so I plan to go to the hospital to see her after I'm done with my work." Kenzo Mashiba explained with a smile.
This was the first time that Fujiwara Yu knew that Kenzo Mashiba's wife was in the hospital. No wonder Mashiba didn't buy a car. It was probably because the hospital expenses were too high, and his daughter was still in school and needed a lot of money, so he had no money to buy a car.
He knew that extending a helping hand directly would easily hurt his self-esteem, so after some consideration, he decided to apply to the Metropolitan Police Department for a private security car so that Kenzo Mashiba could avoid transportation costs.
"Then hurry up and drive slowly on the road."
"Well, Inspector, you should finish this as soon as possible and go back to rest."
After Fujiwara Yuu finished organizing all the documents he had, he handed them to Izumitani Toru, along with the SD card containing the interrogation records. After completing this task, he went to the underground parking lot and saw Matsuda Jinpei lying in a strange position on the hood of his beloved car. Someone who didn't know better might have thought he had hired a car model. …
He reached out and slapped Matsuda Jinpei's thigh, then turned around, opened the driver's door, and said:
"Matsuda, are you sure you still want to watch the sunrise?"
"Sure, because the sunrise isn't the point."
Jinpei Matsuda rubbed his eyes and climbed up from the hood. He thought about what Akihara had mentioned to him and what he had heard during the interrogation. He always felt that he needed to have a good talk with Fujiwara.
Isn't sunrise the point?
Fujiwara Yu roughly guessed what Matsuda Jinpei wanted to talk to him about. He put on his seatbelt with a wry smile. There were some things he really couldn't reveal the details of. It wasn't that he didn't trust Matsuda, but there were some things he couldn't say.
Confidentiality agreements are not signed in vain. If everyone tells their close ones, there is no need for confidentiality.
The two of them were silent all the way until they pulled into the open-air parking lot near the Beika-cho overpass. As they were about to get out of the car, Jinpei Matsuda felt in his pocket and found that the cigarettes in the pack were all gone. He then spoke to break the silence:
"Do you have any cigarettes left? The conversation we're about to have will probably make me want to smoke."
"Yes, are you used to smoking Caster?" Fujiwara Yu took out a white box of Caster cigarettes from his pocket and asked.
"It's a beginner's cigarette. It's okay. I'm not picky about cigarettes."
"I prefer beginner cigarettes. The kind you smoke for tasting... it's a bit of a luxury."
The two walked down the stairs to the overpass. Perhaps because they were friends, they had some tacit understanding. One of them handed over a cigarette and the other handed over a lighter. After the exchange, they easily lit the cigarettes in their mouths.
Jinpei Matsuda hadn't smoked this brand in a while; he usually smoked Camel, preferring a stronger cigarette. But more than his choice of cigarettes, he was more impressed by the fact that "Police Academy Anti-Smoking Ambassador" Fujiwara Yuu would discuss cigarette brands with him, even smoking with him while watching the sunrise.
"Huh." Matsuda Jinpei slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. He turned around and leaned his back against the railing, his head raised towards the sunrise. He asked the purpose of his trip: "Hagi told me that you were kidnapped during your time in the United States. Is that kidnapping related to this case?"
Was that what you were asking about?
The kidnapping case does have nothing to do with the confidentiality agreement of the secret investigation team, which is a part that can be explained.
Fujiwara Yuu swallowed the words he had prepared. After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't tell Matsuda Jinpei what Yamada Gongkei said before his death. He vaguely felt that the matter was not simple and did not want Matsuda to fall into danger:
