The old body no longer has the resistance and reaction ability of its youth. This is the most helpless point for countless police officers who are approaching retirement.
I watched helplessly as I became further and further away from the high-spirited young policeman in my past memories, and my physique declined from strong to weak.
Sometimes, when encountering an attack, the consciousness has already responded, but the old body cannot make even the slightest response.
This feeling is powerless.
Sakai, who had stayed on Moon Shadow Island almost until his retirement, was filled with this feeling of powerlessness at this moment.
His lifeless body fell heavily to the ground, and the flash of memories even made him have the illusion that he was going to die.
Until an item appears——
He was very familiar with those things, handcuffs, police stuff.
"At 13:17, prisoner Sakai Jiro is under arrest." Miwako Sato, who locked the old policeman's hands with handcuffs, habitually raised her wrist and looked at the time.
The old man, who knew his car had overturned, lay on the ground and stared at the blue sky above Yueying Island for a long time, before closing his eyes in despair.
It's over, it seems that the little kid named Uehara Katsumi didn't choose to believe him.
"Why?"
After a long time, the old policeman was finally unwilling to speak. There was a bit of hoarseness in his voice. He raised his cloudy eyes and looked at the short-haired woman who was holding a mobile phone and typing.
"You have been the only police officer on Yueying Island for decades. Therefore, according to Uehara's speculation, it is impossible for you as a police officer to not notice Kawashima Hideo and his group who use Yueying Island as a drug trafficking base, especially when Kawashima Hideo and others
When you are not yet skilled in drug trafficking.
"But even in the suicide report of Keiji Aso's family twelve years ago, your report did not mention drugs. Instead, you sealed Keiji Aso's belongings in a safe for more than ten years without any mention of drugs.
It was damaged, which aroused his suspicion."
Clicking to send the edited email, Miwako Sato finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words and then glanced down at the old man who had sat up. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she still knew that the old man who had been a policeman all his life felt deep in his heart.
What are you wondering——
How on earth was he exposed?
"So he deliberately took advantage of the opportunity created by returning the car to enter the police station, and took the initiative to tell you in the office that he had contacted his colleagues to come to Yueying Island——"
"If I am indeed innocent, then I should not have appeared at the port before, but should have stayed at the police station and waited for contact information."
Before Miwako Sato finished speaking, the old policeman who had figured everything out in an instant suddenly felt a little melancholy in his eyes: "But if I am not innocent, then I must have the first-hand information about the Tokyo police landing on Moon Shadow Island.
Will appear at the port for surveillance."
"It's a pity that you disappointed him. He actually hoped that his speculation was wrong." Miwako Sato, who put her cell phone back into her suit pocket, shook her head and stared at the almost-already man in front of her with cold eyes.
A senior who has dedicated most of his life to the Yueying Island Police Station.
If the veteran police officer is not found at the port, Miwako Sato will take the initiative to contact the Tsukikage Island Police Station to launch an arrest operation.
But now, the police uniform that was supposed to symbolize responsibility and honor was stained by the sun and became muddy and dirty that it shouldn't have been.
"You will understand when you reach middle age and still sit in a small police station alone and accomplish nothing."
After looking up to the sky for a while, the old man suddenly chuckled for no reason and struggled to stand up from the ground. His sin-stained eyes looked at the young and energetic junior in front of him with a hint of envy.
When he was young, he was so high-spirited. When he was young...
"Don't compare everyone to you."
"Whether you believe it or not, when I was young, I was really a policeman with a sense of justice just like you."
"Are you bragging? The word justice is not something you can say casually."
The dark revolver was slowly raised, and the dark muzzle was aimed at the old man's wrinkled cheek. Miwako Sato, who had not lost her vigilance during the chat, raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were full of determination: "Now, I will take you
The paper clip in my hand was thrown away."
Miwako Sato had always noticed the paperclip that the old man took out from the lining of the cuffs of his police uniform by standing up from the ground.
"..."
…………………………
"OK, throw it away."
Yueying Island, Kawashima Manor Villa.
Uehara Katsumi, who was stopped at the door and asked to search before entering the western restaurant, threw all the items he carried on the ground, then raised his hands to indicate that he had nothing on him: "I can go in to eat now.
Are you ready, Mr. Kawashima, Mr. Kuroiwa?"
"Where's Dr. Asai?"
At the main seat of the small Western dining table, Kawashima Hideo, who always had a polite smile on his long and mean face, turned his attention to Aso Minoru, who had not made any next move.
"I only have a white coat on me, and I've already taken it off. What, do you still want to see inside me?"
The dark-faced Aso Minoru said and was about to lift off the short-sleeved shirt on his body, but Uehara Katsumi's hand stopped him first.
"You two, I can understand that you are throwing things out of consideration for your own safety, but is it a bit humiliating to force a female police officer to take off her clothes in public?"
Katsuki Uehara, who narrowed his eyes slightly, poked with his toes, and the four suitcases stacked on one side rolled down into the restaurant: "If this is the case, then let's meet in prison."
With several "clicks", the suitcases finally stabilized after spinning on the tiles for several times, and the lids of the suitcases popped open, revealing the neatly stacked banknotes inside.
"Haha, don't worry about it, don't worry about it, Uehara-kun, his subordinates are just ignorant."
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to develop in an uncontrollable direction, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, the current village leader of Moon Shadow Island, immediately stood up and waved his hands cheerfully, smoothing things over: "Come on, Uehara-kun, Miss Asai, let's try Kawashima-kun's chef.
Specialty dishes.”
The weight is very characteristic of French cuisine. Two glasses of red wine were already rippling in the goblet in the blink of an eye. The fat-bellied Kuroiwa Tatsuji was the first to raise the glass to apologize for their discomfort, and even addressed them in a friendly manner.
"Mr. Kuroiwa said so, then, let's serve it."
Faced with Aso Minoru's gaze, Uehara Katsumi walked into the restaurant calmly, pulled out a chair and sat down.
If it weren't for the naked upper body and the bandage tied with a bow, which was a little eye-catching, the movements would look somewhat elegant, but speaking to the bodyguard guarding the door of the restaurant seemed a bit vulgar——
"Hey, over there, don't touch my wallet and cell phone."
Aso Minoru, who was feeling a little uneasy, didn't see anything strange on his face, so he pulled out a chair next to his friend and sat down.
"This foie gras is good. It tastes much better than the barbecue we had for lunch."
Uehara Katsumi shared her food experience with him without any psychological pressure. Aso Michiru, who had not eaten lunch until now, was indeed hungry——
"Ding."
Suddenly, an extremely loud mail sound came from the door of the restaurant, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The gazes of Hideo Kawashima and Tatsuji Kuroiwa suddenly became sharp, and Aso's heart tightened as he just held the tableware——
"Ah, my mobile phone, please help me check whose email it is. Thank you. There is no password."
Katsumi Uehara, who had just picked up the goblet and took a sip of red wine, waved without looking back.
"Uh... is it a debt collection email?"
"Then don't worry about it, I'll have the money to pay you back right away."
Uehara Katsumi was sipping red wine nonchalantly. He raised his eyes to meet Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo. He smiled and said: "I suddenly remembered something. I seem to owe some money outside. How about you two go first?"
Add 10 million to my personal account, and then we can discuss the ledger?"
Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo, who smelled something amiss almost instantly, looked at each other, frowned and said, "Are you going to change your mind temporarily, Mr. Uehara?"
Kawashima Hideo's tone also contained a hint of threat: "You will make it difficult for us to handle this."
"Difficult to handle?"
Katsuki Uehara put down the goblet, placed his hands on the expensive wooden Western dining table, stood up slowly, with a kind smile on his face.
Aso Minoru, who was still holding the cutlery in her hands, immediately opened her eyes, watching the lunch dancing in the air in the next second!
"If it's difficult to do, why not just stop doing it?"
